But he said the alleged conduct was out of character for the popular forward.
“I was actually coming down onto the ground so it makes it a bit hard for me (to have seen the incident),” said Hinkley.
“I asked him in the rooms and there’s a bit of concern about what he may or may not have done, accidentally I think.
“With a bit of push and shove you can do some stuff that you don’t want to do.
“Westy’s not that sort of player."
Talking points: Round 15
Port Adelaide reported no injuries from the match although Hinkley confirmed Travis Boak and Jasper Pittard had pulled up sore at certain stages during the game.
Both finished the match on the field.
