GARY Ayres had assessed it as Port Melbourne's biggest challenge since the 2008 VFL grand final.

His team was coming off successive defeats, was unsettled by the loss of Chris Cain and Malcolm Lynch, and in the Bendigo Bombers was meeting a likely finalist and a side that beat it earlier in the season.

Little wonder Ayres bore a smile as wide as the Norm Goss Senior grandstand after the Boroughs' doubled up their visitors in conditions made dreadfully difficult by a strong, swirling, biting wind whistling to the Williamstown Rd end.

Port had first use of it and rammed home 8.0 in the first quarter, four coming from power forward Adrian Bonaddio. He finished with six goals.
