The search is on for a new Port Adelaide coach, after the sacking of  MATTHEW PRIMUS.

Former Geelong captain star GARRY HOCKING’s been brought in as caretaker coach for  the rest of the season, taking the helm for the last four games.

PRIMUS was stood down after the side's 34-point loss to Greater Western Sydney on the weekend.

Meantime, Geelong says it’s continuing to talk with the management of Power midfielder TRAVIS BOAK, as it tries to lure him back home.

The Power are yet to get the 24-year-old’s signature, despite earlier agreeing to terms with the club.
