WEST Coast might be favoured to beat Collingwood in its qualifying final but the Schick AFL Player Ratings show the Magpies' midfield will be extremely tough to beat.
When the two teams take to Optus Stadium on Saturday night, the Pies will have the four highest ranked onballers in the contest.
Ruckman Brodie Grundy takes the mantle as the best player selected, while next to him on the podium are his skipper Scott Pendlebury and returning midfielder Adam Treloar.

It's worth noting Treloar hasn't played since round 14, when he injured both hamstrings against Carlton.
In at No.5 is Steele Sidebottom, with Eagles defender Jeremy McGovern separating he and Treloar.
Collingwood will have seven of the top 10.
The Player Ratings are calculated by Champion Data using a variety of stats, taking into account a person's past 40 games over a rolling two-year period, with greater weighting given to more recent matches.
