Port Melbourne signings.

The Leader paper article is up on the front page, but well done to the club on securing David Robbins back from WA. Bonaddio is a huge boost to the stocks of talls at the Borough, and having Bona in the forward line will hopefully free up David Pitt a bit. Matt Pearce was starved of opportunities at Williamstown, so its a good chance to play senior footy at VFL level. Lots of other names bandied about... I guess we won't know more till the National and PreSeason drafts.

Nice one! Thought Dave Robbins was great in the first quarter of the WAFL GF (that's all i saw), great to have him back. I remember him saying when he went over that he'd like to come back when he finished his studies. Wonder if Sandy had a crack? Or the scorps? And is that the same Bonnadio? Did Adelaide dump him. Good start from the Borough.

Two very good pick-ups there for Port but Local Boy's post-up about Carlyle could be right. He might going bush.

Nope...Sandy didn't have a crack for David Robbins...was a very good player as 2 Listons prove,,,,

Still 50/50 at this stage, but does seem to be gaining legs. I think I may have closed the other thread a little too early!

Engaged? Your postman delivered the wrong mail to you.

Engaged or not, it does now appear more and more likely that the Borough may not be able to retain him for 2007. A real shame, as he had a terrific year, and would have been central to the clubs plans for this season. I said it last season, but hopefully Viv Buckley can actually make it on to the field after consecutive knee reconstructions.
