Gold Coast Suns (8-8) will be eager to return to winning ways when they host fellow finals contenders Port Adelaide Power (10-6) on Sunday afternoon at People First Stadium.
The Suns wasted the chance to be in the top-eight with a loss to last-placed North Melbourne Kangaroos last week, going down 87-83 with an away win this season still eluding them.
It is undoubtedly still a glaring issue as they look to make the club’s first-ever finals appearance. Meanwhile, Ken Hinkley's Port Adelaide shook off the Western Bulldogs in comfortable fashion to maintain their position in the top eight and stay within two points of the top four.

Port Adelaide team news
Having decimated Western Bulldogs last time out, the Power came away unscathed from an injury perspective, but will be without the services of key forward Mitch Georgiades after the club accepted his one-game suspension for striking.
Key defender Esava Ratugolea (hamstring) trained full with the main group on Tuesday and remains a likely chance to return on Sunday, while Trent McKenzie (hamstring) will miss out another week as he continues rehab. Veteran forward Charlie Dixon (suspension) is eligible to play this weekend after serving his three-game ban, and could shape as Georgiades' replacement. Livewire forward Willie Rioli was expected to return via the SANFL last Sunday but was a late exclusion for personal reasons.
