COMPLACENCY was never an option for the Collingwood during its record-breaking 138-point demolition of Port Adelaide on Saturday night at AAMI Stadium.

The Pies surged to a 40-point lead by quarter-time and embarrassed a non-competitive Power outfit, holding them to their lowest-ever score (3.3) and inflicting their heaviest loss since entering the AFL.

Veteran Magpie Leon Davis said the players' focus was always on delivering a professional four-quarter performance, rather than aiming to surpass any records.

"We just go out and don't really worry about the scoreboard," Davis said after the victory.

"We try and stick to our structures and our disciplines and do what Mick [Malthouse] sets out.

"The boys drilled home to each other to keep our structures right and maintain our discipline and work rate."

The Magpies made light of the slippery conditions at AAMI Stadium, with their skill level and polish far superior to that of the Power. The top versus bottom clash went exactly as predicted.

Collingwood finished with six multiple goalkickers, including a four-goal haul to small forward Jarryd Blair and bags of three to Dayne Beams, Travis Cloke and Dane Swan.

"It's always good to have multiple goalkickers," Davis said of the Pies' even spread in front of the sticks.

"We've got multiple blokes that can go play forward and everyone is fighting for a spot in the team."

"We've got great depth as a club now and multiple players can play multiple roles, so everyone is vying for their own position and trying to play their role each week."

Davis' own role has changed this season, with the 30-year-old speedster being used as a creative half-back flanker after spending most of his career as a damaging small forward.

"I can't take anything away from my days up forward; I always enjoyed kicking goals," Davis admitted.

"But to play down back now is a different role, but it's something that I'm enjoying very much. Each week is a different challenge and I look forward to it each week as well."

Davis had 23 possessions against Port Adelaide and a team-high eight rebound 50s, often acting as the first cog for the Magpies in turning defence into attack.

Collingwood's attention will now turn to the in-form St Kilda, which has won its past six games to lift itself back into the top eight.

The Pies meet the Saints next Friday night at Etihad Stadium in a finals' teaser that will provide a true measure of just how far St Kilda has come after its nightmare start to 2011.

"They're a great team, they've always been a great team," Davis said of the Saints.

"The boys will be looking forward to it."
