AFTER watching them kick 10 of Port Adelaide's 17 goals against the Crows last weekend, assistant coach Garry Hocking expects the Power's small forwards to threaten again against Geelong on Saturday.

Chad Wingard booted five goals, Robbie Gray three and Angus Monfries two in the Power's four-point Showdown win.

Wingard has averaged two goals a game in 2013, while Monfries has almost matched him in his first season at Alberton since crossing from Essendon.

Gray has averaged a goal a game since returning from a knee reconstruction, and although Jake Neade didn't travel to Geelong on Friday, the 19-year-old has also proven handy up forward, booting 10 goals in his 15 games.

Last weekend North Melbourne’s Daniel Wells used his forward-line nous and speed to kick four goals against the Cats, and Hocking singled out Tom Lonergan and Andrew Mackie as defenders who would be targeted by the Power on Saturday.

"We know how good their backs are and I looked at the game last week and some of the North guys really tried to expose (Corey) Enright and (Jimmy) Bartel and Harry (Taylor) and (Tom) Lonergan," Hocking said.

"We'll look to do the same sort of thing, we've got some speed down there, we've got some blokes in really good form, (Chad) Wingard, (Angus) Monfries, (Jay) Schulz has presented really well.

"We think we can get through Lonergan's man a little bit, Mackie has had moments of not defending that well.

"It's an opportunity to get some speed in there and get a few tricks and try and expose them."

Hocking said the ultimate lesson learned from the Power's 48-point loss to Geelong in round nine was that anything less than a full, four-quarter effort against a side of such calibre would be severely punished.

"Don't be 0.4 to 7.1 at quarter time - giving them seven goals [makes it] very difficult to get back into the game," he said.

"To lose by just over nine [goals] in the end was ordinary, but they've got great players and we've just got to make sure we're really competitive around the footy and play for four quarters.

"You need to play that way against the really good sides."
