There's nothing left for Port Adelaide to play for this year other than pride – but that's significant motivation given the season the Power have had.

Port was expected to challenge for the 2015 premiership but instead has disappointed all involved with the club, ands now skipper Travis Boak says it has a month to find the hunger that will see improvement next year.

Greater Western Sydney, on the other hand, has a debut finals appearance on the line. The GIANTS have taken a huge step forward in their development this season but a finals appearance would do wonders for the young group.

A win on Saturday would keep them in the hunt.

6. Port's poor season has seen Robbie Gray slide in the Official AFL Player Ratings. Gray is now ranked sixth, having fallen behind North Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein.

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Jeremy Cameron

With Adelaide Oval's slim pockets, Cameron could kick himself a bag if he's given the opportunity. He's booted at least four goals on five occasions this year – for five wins.

PREDICTION: Greater Western Sydney by 16 points
