We take a look the key points going into Saturday's game against the Giants...
Us…
FIVE changes made to the Power line-up following last week's loss to the Bulldogs. It gives Mitchell, Jonas, Monfries, Krakouer and Ah Chee a chance to stay in the Port line-up on the road to the end of the season.
SELECTION: Big changes for Port
And them…
The Giants have made three forced changes with Stephen Coniglio, Tom Scully and Adam Treloar all out of their line-up for Saturday's game. They've been replaced by Tom Bugg, Zac Williams and Jack Steele.
What we loved last week
Sam Gray. Gray's game-long effort and endeavour didn't always reap the result, but it was there, and continued a theme of his last few appearances for the Power. His example is the non-negotiable expected of every man wearing a Port Adelaide jumper.

What we didn’t…
Basically, everything after quarter time. The strong self-assessment of the football department after the game was enough to say the performance shown against the Bulldogs was below the basic standards Port Adelaide has demanded over the last two-and-a-half seasons. Saturday against the Giants is a chance to atone.
Red flag
The Giants are slowly building into the team they were designed to be - premeirship contenders. They are in the hunt for finals, Port Adelaide isn't. The thirst for a win will be there on both sides today, but the Power needs to make sure it doesn't let the visitors get any advantage from their youthful desperation.
GIANTS WATCH: Three players to watch
Watch out for...
Just how the Power responds to last week's loss. Those performances leave sour tastes that only a significant and visible turnaround in effort and performance can wash away.
