ON THE BLOCK: Thankfully the Pies didn't cop any fresh injuries against Port Adelaide apart from Jeremy Howe's knee injury. He flew high for a customary specky and limped off the ground but played out the game and will be sore, but available. Jack Frost was caught with the ball early, then he and Howe stuffed up a quick handball exchange that cost the Pies another goal. Jesse White has been very solid in recent weeks but missed a sitter running into open goal and another from 20m out.
ON THE CUSP: Nathan Buckley was effusive about the VFL performances of Jonathan Marsh and Jarrod Witts, with Marley Williams also back from a mid-foot sprain. He played limited minutes in the first of his two VFL games but was solid over the weekend. But Collingwood's problems aren't really at half back, with Smith and Maynard solid. Will Marsh replace White?
JON RALPH'S FORECAST: On the formline of Sunday, the Pies are likely to be knocked off by Melbourne for the second time in the 2016 season. This was a train wreck against Port — the tactics didn't work, the midfield was well-beaten, the defence was under siege as a result and there were just three winners on the day — Mason Cox, Ben Reid and Howe. After wins over Brisbane and Geelong, and the close loss to the Dogs, this was a major step back. Now they need to make a stand against Melbourne as they did against the Cats, or the season is already done after 12 rounds.
