As 2012 draws closer, and Port Melbourne begins its pre-season proper for the coming season, can the Borough rise to the challenge of back to back premierships?
Port have a growing list of departures after the premiership in 2011. So, with a drastically different looking line-up for the coming season it will be a tough ask to repeat the success of last season.
The Borough have lost players across all lines, from the full back to full forward, and a host of players inbetween.
The loss of Port's two quickest midfielders in Lynch and Batsanis may mean we see a different style of play next year, particularly if Bonaddio is fit and plays the majority of the season as the key forward.
I guess we will have to wait to see how it all unfolds!`
