PORT Adelaide will wait until the appointment of its senior coach before making a decision on the futures of a number of its players, including David Rodan.

The Power's preferred coaching option, Leon Cameron, was expected to be announced as the club's fourth AFL coach as early as this week.

But Cameron has firmed for the vacant senior assistant role at Greater Western Sydney after meeting with the club on Wednesday, with an announcement likely on Thursday.

Power football manager Peter Rohde said the club would assess the future of Rodan, and others, once it had sorted out their coaching situation.

"It's fair to say [Rodan] had a pretty disappointing end to the season, Rohde told Gillette Trade Radio on Wednesday.

"We won't make a decision on him, and probably three or four others, until we appoint the coach and the coach has some input in to those sorts of decisions."

Rohde said Cameron had formally interviewed for the club's top job on Monday and that the club hoped to finalise the process by the end of this weekend.

In the absence of a senior coach, Rohde, list manager Jason Cripps and recruiting manager Geoff Parker are in charge of the key decisions at the Power.

Rohde said the club would likely be a willing participant once the trade period begins on Monday.

"I think it's fair to say we'll be exploring every possibility that we can."

"We need to bring some experience in, to help our young players on the way through."
