Both sides have strong sides available. The naming of B. Robbins amongst the interchange is a bit far-fetched! 40+ possessions last week and a BoG performance. I'm not sure if the VFL should continue to post sides in the paper in the traditional format... Really just naming a squad is more appropriate, when there are up to 30 players listed.
Sav Rocca lines up again for Port, with Le Cras, Watson, Stevens, McKernan, Picioane, Firrito and Smith named as possibles for North's game on Sunday.
David Teague will make 3 ex-Port players in a strong Bullants side. Preston absolutely destroyed the Borough early in the season, so there should be a bit of passion in this one, as Port look to atone for the early defeat.
