Good to see Gilham in the mix for his first game.
Bloomfield might be the best matchup on Johnathon Hay.
Just 5 players in that Devils side who have played at Port Melbourne (including Setchell which you probably can't count these days) So I dont think the them against us issue will really come into play.

Sorry Ons but i'm going to have to disagree with you on that one... My Grandma, bless her soul, would be a perfect match up for jonathon hay... worst footballer on the planet.
Very interesting to see Jack Riewoldt, Mitch Thorp, Fielding and Hislop: Tassie could have 4 top 20 draft choices running around with them this weekend!
fantastic win by port, usually hard when a team is struggling a bit to bury teams, by looks like they ran it out nicely.
Well Done!
I wasn't at the game due to a wedding, but have just watched the ABC coverage.
What a terrific effort! I've gotta say I thought the Devils were going to run over the top after holding Port goal-less in the third term, and reducing the margin right back to 9 points.
David Pitt's marking was exceptional, and when the Borough have a forward taking marks we look good.
We still havent played the full 120 minutes, but 3 quarters of good footy was enough to win it.
Bring on the Roosters next week...
I had to laugh when the North Melbourne cheer squad had a banner for Ian Callinans 100th.. Give me a break.
In the two's, Box Hill too good (think their Seniors have the bye).
Yes Ons, Box Hill seniors had the bye this week.
Did anyone else watch the game on television or were at Teac Oval?
Jack Riewoldt was named best on ground for the Devils in his first VFL game, pretty impressive for someone who is still eligable for TAC Cup football.
What sort of a player is he?
I was amazes that Jonathan Hay was named in the best players. He hardly touched it (7 possesions) and Matty Armstrong said he needs to get his confidence back and will give him a free run next week in the VFL.
Riewoldt looked good for someone so young. Doesnt look very tall Im guessing around 6 foot but can still take a mark and is fairly quick.
I think it was meant to read Hay was one of the best for Port Melbourne.
Big bucks and he is not worth a packet of twisties.
Wasn't at the game but you can bet he would have copped heaps by the Port faithful.

Roosters started well against Geelong but couldn't match them in the second half... losing by only 29 points (not by about 40 as I thought they might.)
On that form I reckon that Port could win by about 70 points. I hope not, though. See you at the ground.
Jack Riewoldt is listed as being 193 cm and 83 kg, but he doesn't move like he is that tall yet. I can't help but be surprised he was given Tassie's best, but he looked a real player of the future.
I hope Tassie can play Mitch Thorp forward sometime soon, as he is 195 cm and like he is going to be a strong boy. But he isn't yet and is struggling at CHB a bit. Last year as a 16 year old he took some really spectacular grabs. I want to see that!
Will do.
Werribee will give Tasmania a real fight back in Tassy next week, going on Saturdays performance.
