Herald Sun ON THE BLOCK: Levi Greenwood has damaged the medial ligament in his knee and will miss the trip to Port Adelaide and could be in doubt for the remainder of the season, while Daniel Wells suffered a thigh injury and will be monitored this week. The fact he played out the game is surely a good sign, however, and given the clash with the Power isn't until Sunday he has every chance to get up. Tyson Goldsack copped a heavy hit to the head but returned to play out the match. Brodie Grundy is likely to be suspended by the MRP for his tackle on Ben Brown. ON THE CUSP: James Aish was best on ground in Collingwood's VFL win after 23 disposals and 13 tackles. Is this the week for Kayle Kirby? He booted another five goals in the VFL on Saturday but the form of whipping boy Jarryd Blair - who booted three goals against North Melbourne - might keep him out. The same goes for Josh Daicos who played one of his best games with 26 disposals and a goal. If Grundy is suspended, Mason Cox will likely get his chance to show his skills as the Magpies' No.1 ruckman. KATE SALEMME'S FORECAST: The game wasn't pretty but you'd much rather be on the winning end of a 54-point result so the Magpies and coach Nathan Buckley will take it. Collingwood has found form and is unbeaten in the last month - defeating the Suns, Eagles and North and drawing with the Crows - but has a tough trip to face a Port Adelaide side on the rebound next. The Magpies have won three of their four interstate trips - only losing narrowly to GWS - so far this season, however, and would fancy its chances but have lost five of its past six against the Power. Buckley's team has the opportunity to not only finish the season on a high with much to look forward to in 2018 but to also shape the eight in the final three weeks with clashes against the Cats in Round 22 and Demons to finish.
