Where and when: Metricon Stadium. Saturday, June 27 (11.45am AWST)

TV: Live on Fox Footy, Kayo and the official AFL Live app. Delayed free-to-air telecast on Channel 7 from 2pm AWST

What it means for the Eagles: It’s been a rough restart to season 2020 for West Coast, who have suffered heavy defeats to Gold Coast and Brisbane in rounds two and three. But all is not lost – we've only played three games thus far – and a win against the red hot Power would improve the club’s record to 2-2 and steady the ship ahead of a blockbuster round five encounter with reigning premiers Richmond. 

The stat: The Eagles need to muscle up in the clinches if they want to topple the in-form Power at Metricon Stadium tomorrow. West Coast is currently ranked 17^th for average contested possessions (108.7), while Port Adelaide are leading the league with an average of 133 hard ball gets per game.

The matchup: Tom Barrass v Charlie Dixon

The intimidating Dixon was at his unstoppable best against the Dockers last week, but Barrass is the perfect matchup for the Power’s key forward. The Claremont product will need some help from the midfield and his fellow defenders to obstruct Dixon’s run at the ball, but he has the speed to keep pace with him and plenty of experience taking down the opposition’s biggest key forwards. If Barrass can limit Dixon’s influence on the game, it will goa  long way to helping the Eagles short out the Power.

It’s a big week for: Jack Darling and Lewis Jetta

It’ll be a momentous occasion for the power forward and dynamic defender, who will tick off their 200^th senior appearance tomorrow. Darling has raced to the double ton mark after landing at the Eagles via Pick No.26 in the 2010 AFL Draft, while Jetta has reached the milestone in the 11^th season of his glittering career. Both players will be determined to make a good fist of it on their big day, with Darling intent on hitting the scoreboard and Jetta focused on stopping the Power fire at the other end of the ground.

Big call: Josh Kennedy hits top gear and boots four pivotal goals

West Coast are still without a win from the club's stint on the Gold Coast after losing their third straight match at the hands of Port Adelaide on Saturday.

Power big man Charlie Dixon bagged six goals, bucking the trend of under-performing key-position players to spearhead the table-topping Port to their fourth straight win, 13.11 (89) to 6.5 (41) at Metricon Stadium.

Apart from a three-goal burst early in the third quarter kickstarted by Josh Kennedy (four goals) that bridged the margin to 11 points, the Eagles lacked poise in attack and were swamped in defence.

Jeremy McGovern's late replacement, Will Schofield, was put on report for allegedly headbutting Power forward Zak Butters, gifting momentum back to the 'home' side in the third term. 

It leaves the Eagles staring at a 1-3 and a five-day break before they face Richmond on the Gold Coast.

When it wasn't Dixon dominating in the air, it was the Power's small forwards setting the tone with nine tackles laid in their forward 50 in the first term alone. 

Brad Ebert (16 disposals, two goals) celebrated his 250th AFL match in style and spoiled the 200th match milestones of Eagles Jack Darling and Lewis Jetta.

Sore Eagle skipper stands up
Leading a midfield that had been demoralised in the past fortnight, Shuey was a rare winner for the Eagles. After completing minimal training in recent weeks and playing with sore ribs that needed attention at half-time, Shuey had an equal game-high 12 contested possessions and 20 pressure acts as Port Adelaide midfielders Travis Boak and Tom Rockliff controlled most of the proceedings. 

Charlie is Port's new angel
Playing against a defence missing Jeremy McGovern, Charlie Dixon was the most influential player on the ground. The Power forward ended with six goals but could've had three or four more as he marked everything in sight. Playing on his former home ground where he played 31 matches as a Sun, Dixon ended with six contested marks and 12 score involvements from his 15 disposals and combined well with emerging forward Todd Marshall.
