AT 12.50pm on Saturday former president Peter Saultry unfurled Port Melbourne's 2011 premiership pennant, leaving it to flutter in a breeze to the Williamstown Rd end of the North Port Oval.
..And by 4.50pm VFL watchers knew the Borough would take some tossing for this year's flag, despite losing 10 senior players over summer.
Meeting a Werribee team coming off a sterling Round 1 away victory over North Ballarat, Port put in a superb performance to romp home by 59 points, 22.16 (148) to 14.5 (89).
Its 23rd straight win was underpinned by nine consecutive goals in the first quarter, seven of them from the 20-minute mark. It was a Borough blitz.
