VENUE & TIME: AAMI Stadium, Sunday 19 July, 1.10pm (AEST)
HEAD TO HEAD: Played: 18, Port Adelaide 12, West Coast 6
LAST TIME: West Coast 19.11 (125) def Port Adelaide 10.15 (75), Round 2, 2009 at Subiaco.

WALKING WOUNDED: Port's bruised ego, suffered after their woeful loss to Melbourne last week, is the team's greatest injury but apart from that the medical rooms down at Alberton are slowly clearing out. Travis Boak is set to make a comeback after missing several weeks with a knee strain, Hamish Hartlett remains two weeks away with a nagging hamstring problem while Shaun Burgoyne (knee) has finally started running and might be available by the end of the month. Daniel Motlop is still six weeks away with a broken ankle. West Coast is sweating on the fitness of stars Dean Cox and Daniel Kerr. Both have groin related problems and will be on the sidelines for at least 2-3 weeks. With Cox out, the Eagles will more than likely turn to Nic Naitanui, who's been sidelined with a corked buttock, to support Mark Seaby in ruck.

FORM: Port has been competitive at home and woeful away but no-one expected them to flounder like they did against Melbourne at the MCG last week. Many of the players look disinterested, their skills were terrible and the loss to the Demons leaves them a game out of the top-eight with a 7-8 record. West Coast also suffers from home sickness too. The Eagles travelled and lost to the Demons a week earlier but returned to Subiaco where they matched league-leaders St Kilda for three quarters. They are now playing for pride, having lost seven of their past nine games, and hold a 4-11 record.

WHO'S HOT: Port captain Dominic Cassisi has been left to do all the grunt work for the Power this season and collected eight kicks and 28 handballs against the Demons last week. Adam Selwood and Chris Masten were busy performers against St Kilda last week and are doing their best to cover the loss of ball magnet Daniel Kerr. They'll need to be switched on once more if they are to tackle a desperate Port.

WE THINK: Port Adelaide wins at home and West Coast rarely wins on the road so the Power should keep its theoretical finals chances alive with a victory here. It sounds like a simple and watertight theory but Port is so consistently
