AHEAD of his 200th game, Port Adelaide veteran Justin Westhoff has vowed to lead a Power revival before he hangs up his boots for good.

The 30-year-old will become just the seventh player in the Power's history to reach the 200-game milestone against the Sydney Swans at the SCG on Saturday.

Westhoff isn't considering retirement any time soon as he looks to help turn the Power around next season.

"Hopefully I'm around for some finals footy and a premiership in the near future, I definitely want to be around for a few more years,'' Westhoff said.

"We've got a great group coming up.

"We've played some great footy in the last few years, but we haven't got to where we want to, so I want to be around for that.''

Westhoff joins illustrious company in reaching 200 games for the Power, behind Kane Cornes, Warren Tredrea, Peter Burgoyne, Chad Cornes, Brendon Lade and Dom Cassisi.

"I'm super proud to be sitting where I'm sitting,'' Westhoff said.

"It's been an up and down journey, but that's something I'll look back on and be fond of my days here.

"To play 200 games for such a great club is something I'm super proud of.''

The ninth-placed Power are still a faint finals chance, but are three games behind West Coast, Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne with four rounds remaining.

Port will need to overcome a terrible recent record against the Sydney Swans, having won just one of the past 13 meetings between the two clubs.

''We've had some pretty big battles over the last few years over there,'' Westhoff said.

''We've come close a few times and haven't been able to take it up to them.

''This week will be a real battle of the midfields and we've got some guys who want to prove themselves.''

No one more than enigmatic forward John Butcher, as he looks to save his AFL career.

The 25-year-old returned to form kicking four goals against the Lions in his just second game of the season.

"He's got four games to go to make the club decide if they want him to stick around,'' Westhoff said.

''The ball is in his court.

''Ken (coach Ken Hinkley) has given him the chance to prove himself.

''When he's aggressive at the ball there's not too many players who can really stop him, but at times he's his own worst enemy at times with what goes on in his game.

''He just needs to stay aggressive and do those things 90 per cent of the time and everyone will be happy with that.''
