Port Melbourne will "CHIRN" up that muddy muck heap (mind the pun) HAHA and should have a good win. Watch out for the Borough boys this year as we have a good chance to play in a premiership side Players like Cotchett, Pitt, Pinwell, Nahas, Spriggs and big bad busltling Bonnadio should bring home the bacon for the Borough !! :D C'ARN THE BURRA!!!!!

Port would be pretty happy to play in the mud. The Port ground is currently a disgrace, and is porbably only barely up to standard. The centre is nothing but mud, and the practice wicket area is shifting and under water. Ordinary!!

Round 6 - Werribee v Port Melbourne

A bit harsh Dolphin! I was on the ground twice on Saturday and it seemed OK to me. Really good considering we had a torrential downpour on Friday afternoon.

There is some kind of a drainage problem around the cricket nets in the pocket near the scoreboard. It was a problem during most of the cricket season. The centre wicket area is only muddy because of the volume of rain Port has received in the week or so. But I reckon Port won't mind playing in the mud, players like Pinwill and Spriggs in the centre handled conditions well in there last week.

Obviously the middle was muddy, but you like to see that, the biggest issue was over on the wing, city side of the ground and as eluded to by northport, in front of the scoreboard. The water was sitting below the grass and creating splashes as players ran through that area of the ground. In saying this the rest of the ground was in fantastic condition, considering the circumstances leading up to the weekends game.
