Rozee was ruled out of his team’s match against Carlton at Adelaide Oval with an ankle injury, after missing two of the club’s previous three games with a muscle injury.
Last month, Port’s captain played a game against the Crows while injured, which backfired on the club.
Coach Ken Hinkley apologized for playing him in a postgame news conference.
“I apologize to our fans for the decision that was made,” Hinkley said.
‘The decision was made collectively but I am in charge. And I set Connor up to fail as a player because of the way he had to perform there. After the break he couldn’t pick up speed and was reluctant to shoot.
Fans, friends and family rushed to congratulate the couple on the birth.
Rozee has been battling an injury and was ruled out for his team’s match against Carlton.
‘I made a mistake playing Connor Rozee… that was clear, it was obvious. “I can try to hide behind it, but I’m not a coward when it comes to admitting a mistake and that’s what it was.”
