Fellas, tell me, can port possibly knock over Bendigo this weekend? I know they're struggling down there at the Borough, and apparently needing financial assistance to remain competitive. Just wondering if there's any way they can rise above their troubles and stun the mighty Gold?
;-)
If any stand alone team needs and gets assistance to be competitive it wont be the borough.
You will have to tune in to ABC to watch what may end up being a massive upset in the world of sport - the poor team from struggle st Port vs the team with all the gold Bendigo.

It will be well worth watching to see how much adulation & sycophancy Phil can laud on the "Great Garrry Ayres".
That's if they can extract him from his derriere.
Now before you all jump up & down let it be well known I REALLY LIKE GARRRY AYRES but enough of this servility is well & truly enough.
Quarter time. PORT 5.9 GOLD 3.1
Is that Bendigo's highest score this year?
Yes it was Zebraman.. I've just watched the game on TV. Not Port's best by a long way, but importantly came away with the 4 points. Good debut by Whelan too. He led and marked well.
I reckon Julian Rowe has got to be a decent chance of B&F if he keeps continues his current form. I thought he was a fringe player at best when he was previously at Port, but since returning from the VAFA he has been one of our best.
Danny Hughes looks like he could be that second forward in the Patty Rose type role.
Batsanis looked to be getting back in touch, and if he can stay fit, will be important during finals time.
Scipione after a couple of quieter weeks was important, kicking 5 or 6 goals.
Cal Thornton looks to be a little more settled too.
Bendigo played some good footy in patches.. For a side that hasn't won a game it was encouraging to see them playing attacking football, regularly breaking the lines and running through the corridor. They may not win a game this season, but I think their is a mssive upside for the Gold (just never ever wear that shocker of a jumper again!).

I was relieved to get a win on the board to give us some confidence going into a week off, because we have some tough games at home coming up. Having not seen the Gold this year and being told how horrible they were, I wasn't expecting much, but they did a great job at times, especially their #9, Alixs or Alik.....something. Their strip was an absolute nightmare, especially as there is no clash between the sides - burn it immediately!
Port will have to be better to knock off Willi in 2 weeks, but I'm not worried, we always fire up for the Seadogs!

Just lovely to hear once again from all the Port boys after a month in hibernation !!!
I'm so glad I can give you something to talk about again, digs, you really seem to really enjoy pretty much everything I have to say.

Riccardo,
As always I enjoy your comments but like to keep an eye out for any crap. Just missed you all over the last month, It hasn't been quite the same.
