GARY Ayres was disappointed. Of course he was.
In captain John Baird's 150th match, his Port Melbourne team had given all it had in an exhilarating match against Geelong and dropped six points short.
Baird was disconsolate after the game, taking a position on the floor and gazing across the changerooms.
The defeat left Port needing to defeat Coburg this week to contest its seventh consecutive finals series.
But, convinced it was his side's best performance this season, Ayres was drawing possibilities from the result, not dwelling on the must-win predicament ahead.
