GOLD Coast can secure a finals berth for the first time in its history when it takes on a Port Adelaide side aiming to bid farewell to great Travis Boak and coach Ken Hinkley in style.

The Suns (14-7) needed one more win, against either the Power or Essendon, to feature in September.

But a trip to the Adelaide Oval could be tricky despite the Power's poor form.

Boak will play his 387th and final AFL game, while Hinkley will bid farewell after his 13th season in charge.

Port Adelaide is giving one final game to retiring Rory Atkins against his former club and has named debutants Harrison Ramm and Ewan Mackinlay. They come in for Ollie Wines, Josh Sinn and Will Lorenz.

The Suns have made just one change, with Lachie Gulbin in for his first match in place of Nick Holman.
