Port Melbourne will have a double incentive to win its ninth straight match when
it travels to Frankston Oval today.
The third-placed Borough (11-3) will look to celebrate John Baird's 100th VFL game and 50th for the club with a win that would see it overtake second-placed Williamstown on the ladder.
Amazingly, the laid-back 28-year-old didn't know of the impending milestones until contacted by the Herald Sun.
The 192cm, 95kg defender started his VFL career with Box Hill, helping the club win its only premiership in 2001, before he was drafted to North Melbourne. He played 46 games under Denis Pagan and later Dean Laidley.
Baird said he was disappointed he did not play more games for the Roos.
