Sam Dwyer looks like he's a chance to play his first Senior game since his Round 1 knee injury at SouthPort.
Hopefully the borough can crush them.
Pleming will be too good for pea heart Greg Domasevic.
Shane O'bree has been a rerasonable afl player but is past his best and will be in his last year at afl level.
Hope the borough's good record at Teac Oval over the past few seasons can continue although they have lost there twice this year.
Hope Plemmo does as I sponsor him in my player sponsorship membership also he is a top bloke and good mate!

One sweet victory that could be telling, come finals time. Port were heading into the last term, trailing by a goal, but responded beautifully to run out 23 point winners.
Not mentioned amongst the bests, Ryan McMahon really lifted and was intrumental in the final quarter. Valenti was outstanding, particularly early in the game, while Dillon and Batsanis were terrific throughout.
It was good to see the game was called, by two of Casey FMs best. They certainly would have enjoyed the game, as it was a high standard throughout. Some of Collingwoods finishing around goals was very polished.
Looking forward to seeing Port take on the Zebras on Sunday next week.
Hopefully StationHotel will have highlights of todays game up on the website.
It was a classic 8 point game. The formula was simple, win this game and move a game clear in the top four. Collingwood came out well with the breeze in the first term. Port had a lot of the play but could not hurt Collingwood where it counts. With the wind Port closed the gap. Into the 3rd Port worked very hard into the wind and by the end of the quarter saw Collingwood leading by a single goal. Gary Ayres gave a stirring 3/4 time speech and early in the last Port seemed ready to break the game open. Shooter McMahon had three shots on goal all for points, then finally Port got a goal and that was that. Collingwood where held goalless in the last.
Fantastic response to the loss last week.
On a side note it was fantastic to see a number of Collingwood players came into the bar after the game and Gavin Brown gave a speech.
Great win Port!!!!

Great to see Port get over the line in a must win game.
Having watched the Williamstown v Bendigo clash today I would say another loss looms for Collingwood against Bendigo at Strathfieldsaye next week.
It will make it three straight losses for the filth.
Shane Valenti has certainly struck some form in recent weeks and nearing the finals he will be very valuable for the borough. A fit Dean Galea is also a huge plus.
I think Port are a lot more balanced this year and not so top heavy as past seasons.
weve still have a few guys out vfa aswell.
