The Werribee v Port Melbourne match will be broadcast on ABC TV. The first time Port have been on the free to air broadcaster this year.
There is talk that Werribee may be forced to make four changes to this weekends game following a tough encounter against Box Hill last week.
Three changes for Werribee in the end, apparently only one forced, with AJ Kuol Mun's season reportedly over. Port Melbourne unchanged, going in with the same side that beat Collingwood in the last round and Sydney in the elimination final. Last time these two clubs met Kuol Mun's ruck dominance and Werribee's strong midfield were key to their win. Port Melbourne did beat Werribee earlier in the season, back in round 6, with our midfielders performing strongly but Werribee had yet to really hit their stride at that point in the season. Then again Port have also improved since early in the season. Should be an exciting game.
Tasmania will have a tough game with the number of AFL-listed players in Essendon's side. Tipping a Geelong-Essendon grand final, much as I would obviously like to see Port Melbourne make it.
