CREATIVE Port Adelaide forward Robbie Gray has missed another training session but is a certain starter against Collingwood in Saturday night's elimination final.
Gray, a late withdrawal from the weekend loss to Carlton with a thigh injury, wasn't sighted at Port's Monday session.
But coach Ken Hinkley said the elusive forward will definitely play against the Magpies as Port return to the finals for the first time since 2007.
Gray will be recalled with Hamish Hartlett, who has served a two-match ban, and defender Alipate Carlile, who will return from a back ailment for a duel with Magpie man mountain Travis Cloke.
Port downed the Magpies by 35 points at AAMI Stadium in round 14, their only meeting this season, and captain Travis Boak said the Power deserved to their return to the finals.
"It has been a pretty challenging four or five years," Boak told reporters on Monday.
"But I think sometimes you need to learn how to get there ... what we have learnt over the last four or five years is how much work and effort you need to put in.
"I would have loved it to happen quicker. But we have learnt what it takes to get here and hopefully that helps us now."
