Round 13 - Port Melbourne v Coburg.

Leading comfortably at half time only to be overrun by a dogged Coburg who deserved the win after we squandered opportunities in front of goal and at times had some horrid entries into the forward 50.

 

I'm pretty disappointed to come away with the loss this week. I felt it was a danger game coming into the game but after setting up the game in the first half, I feel like we aren't deserving of sneaking into the final 10.

 

Coburg have become something of a bogey side for Port in recent years. 

Paul Amy has reported that Port Melbourne legend Vic 'Stretch' Aanensen has died at the age of 72.

Stretch had a long battle with illness in recent times.

He is a dual JJ Liston medallist and life member of the VFA/VFL having won premierships with the Borough in the early 80s.

 

Stretch also was a very good cricketer too, winning premierships at the Port Melbourne Cricket Club in the Victorian Sub District Association. 

Round 11 Box Hill vs Frankston

Looks like the club with its tunnel vision for night games (Dolphs only play 1 home game in daylight for the entire season) might be creating a team that is only competitive at night, at Frankston. Havent played well in their 3 day games so far.

vs werribee -39pts

vs southport -40pts

vs box hill -63pts

Tough game next week vs Footscray on Friday night.

Port Phillip Council have apparently denied Port Melbourne hosting night matches later this season that feature non community (AFL) clubs.

As a result, the release of the remaining fixture for 2025 has been delayed.

Port Melbourne Football Club are very disappointed by the ruling, as it denies the club an important revenue stream on those game days.

 

"The City of Port Phillip has blocked Port Melbourne from hosting broadcast matches at North Port Oval – because the teams involved, including Collingwood and Richmond, aren’t local.
