It's a distinct possibility Boroughboy.. It will certainly be a year without a flag, which is to be expected making such a radical change to the playing list. Wooden Spoon? There's a good chance of it. This will be a trying year for the Port faithful, however I think there are a few clubs at this stage that we would be hoping to finish above... I reckon the bottom 5 teams will be between: Box Hill Hawks Port Melbourne Geelong Coburg Tigers Casey Scorpions North Ballarat Still early days... Two games still to go prior to the start of the season.

North Ballrat will not be in the bottom 5 this year. There young bunch of boys won't lose because of effort anyway

I don't think you can read too much into the win against the Scorpions last Saturday. This weeks final PM against a highly fancied Williamstown list, might be a better indication. Even in pre-season, Port v Willy games are always good value.

I will happily take up that challenge. There is no way on earth that North Ballarat will finish out of the bottom 5. The spoon challenge is between them, Coburg and Geelong, with Nth Ballarat currently the raging favourite. If they win 5 they should be gratefull; but they may only win 1.

Coburg has that rapped up no doubts.

Agree with you Dolph. North Ballarat are in serious strife. Lost Jurica, Field, Bye, McCorkall, Greig, McConnell off the top of my head.

It's one mighty day; I finally agree with Dale!
