We were up by 19 points in the last but conceded 5 goals to lose... hard to see us making finals.

I don't think all is lost for Port just yet.

Werribee still haven't had the second bye yet and in their 5 remaining games play 5 of the top 6 [everyone except Sandringham]. On current form they will go in as underdog in every game. (Having said that, they will probably knock off Box Hill again this week.......)

Port still has home games against Frankston (lucky to get the Dolphins twice) and Coburg. You'd think that they would win both of these which would get them up to 8 wins, possibly just needing to win 1 of the other 4 games to sneak in.

Of course, I should have mentioned:

If Port finish 8th, no doubt they will be given a home elimination final against the 5th placed team?

Port looked home at Punt Road yesterday but blew a 19 point lead with 10/15 minutes to go. Richmond's vfl team is a battler at best. Richmond dug deep when counted to win.
Liam McBean continues to prsent at vfl level as does Sam Lloyd. Khan Haretuku was not too bad yesterday and is not far off a big game.
Big test for the borough against Williamstown. As for Werribee I can't pick them. They are so unpredictable. Cost me plenty of tips. When I pick them they lose when I go against them they win. Knowing Werribee they might knock off Box Hill again then lose to a vfl struggler near the bottom. More hope of picking tattslotto than picking Werribee's fortune from week to week.

I reckon Daniel Currie might have something to do with it.

He was in top form early in the season, was clearly the difference between the 2 teams when Werribee won at Box Hill by 5 points. He's been injured for the past few weeks and Werribee have been losing.

Not sure when he's due back, might be this week knowing our luck.

In with a chace but only a slim chance I think canhill. This will be the 1st time Port has missed finals under Gary Ayres. I hope I am wrong.
