"Externally, the pressure comes on and you like to think that's when we do our best work."

Port Adelaide has only made one change for Saturday's clash against the Tigers, debuting draftee Christian Moraes whilst swinging the axe on forward-turned-defender Jeremy Finlayson.

The former Giant has been forced down back due to injuries to key personnel, but the left-field solution lasted only four quarters after Collingwood's three talls combined for 10 goals.

"It's probably just felt like he's not there as far as the position goes and there were aspects of his game last weekend that we weren't happy with," Carr said.

"Jeremy knows what (he needs to work on). He's aware of it. I don't think I need to make that public.

"So, the accountability aspect is all over the ground, and we're not highlighting one person just because he's been omitted from the team."

As for the Power's Pick 38 in the 2024 National Draft, the silky midfielder could surprise a few with what he can produce.

"He's elite with his work rate, his contest to contest (work). Obviously, it's a surprise externally," Carr said.

"Internally, he was around the mark, and you know, we feel it is important to reward form at this stage.

"His attention to detail on his game is just super so his want to play AFL footy is nearly some of the strongest that I've seen."
