ON THE BLOCK: While it was a week ago, Josh Smith could pay for a Queen's Birthday stinker while Tom Langdon was rusty in his return from injury.

ON THE CUSP: Ben Reid and Travis Varcoe look set to return but Jamie Elliott remains a 50-50 proposition given his injury history. Collingwood was on a bye in the VFL as well leaving Jarryd Blair (39 disposals), Chris Mayne (four goals) and Jackson Ramsay (28 disposals) to hope the coaching staff remember their efforts from a fortnight ago.

BEN HIGGINS'S FORECAST: What could have been for the Magpies. A pre-bye win over Melbourne and they're on the cusp of the eight. Instead they'll have to do it the hard way, sitting 13th, but admittedly only a game behind. The Pies seem destined to tease us all the way to Round 23. A red-hot Port Adelaide before blockbusters against Hawthorn and Essendon will decide their season.
