Summary Port are facing their fourth loss in a row and are just a couple of rounds short of completing a remarkable fall from grace - grand finalists in 2007 to not making the finals in '08. Collingwood will be buoyed by their victory over a patchy St Kilda after last week's dramas and can tighten their top eight credentials. The Magpies, without Alan Didak and Heath Shaw, were inspired last week by skipper Scott Burns and fellow midfielders Leon Davis, Tarkyn Lockyer and Dale Thomas while Harry O'Brien and Marty Clarke provided an impenetrable defence

Key Keeping the Burgoyne brothers quiet will be the Magpies' main priority

Tip Collingwood by 25 points
