"IT WON'T happen overnight but it will happen," Port Melbourne coach Gary Ayres reassured supporters after an under-strength Borough went down to a fleet-of-foot-and-hand Williamstown by 28 points at Burbank Oval on Saturday.

The loss leaves Port (2-2) just outside the eight.

PORT Melbourne coach Gary Ayres said his team had shown plenty of "Borough spirit" to defeat Northern Bullants by five points in a pulsating contest at TEAC Oval yesterday.

Forward Adrian Bonaddio kicked only two goals but inspired Port in the third term with one of his trademark booming kicks from outside 50 to kickstart a five-goal onslaught.

GUY McKenna doesn't profess to be an expert on the VFL.

But the Gold Coast coach knows his team, preparing for a season in the Victorian state league ahead of its inauguration to the AFL, has done well to draw Port Melbourne at home (Southport, in fact) in this weekend's first round.

THE way Port Melbourne coach Gary Ayres sees it, no team will go into Round 1 of the 2010 VFL season as a stand-out premiership favourite.

In his mind, 2008-09 champion North Ballarat will probably feel the loss of six premiership players and struggle to maintain its gold standard.

That, he thinks, leaves a few clubs to do some serious bidding.

PORT Melbourne has done a lot of talking to prospective recruits. Last week it was time to lock in a few.

Delisted Carlton onballer Adam Bentick is the most notable of the newcomers, bringing to TEAC Oval the experience of 68 AFL games between 2004 and 2008.
Injury wrecked his 2009, but he did finish the year with some strong performances for the Northern Bullants.
