One of my mates knows the family from around mooroolbark and was pleasantly surprised when i told him that there was a son of big andy goodwin running around for Coburg. His first reaction was tommy playing for coburg ? He was surprised and i said too him he is a bit roar but goes hard at it and looks good. Tommy has improved a lot more since. Old fashion player who would have not been out of place in the old 1970s vfa football.
Port Melbourne's injury list continues to improve. I think the club sent out an email during the week with only four players sidelined and key player Mihocek resuming this week.
Good win will be a handful for Port, but Haretuku in the side gives us a little more flexibility. Hopefully Gary Ayres game number 200 is a solid win,and the players can enjoy the tribute night for Fred Cook that follows it
Totally outclassed today after showing a small bit of fight in the first quarter. Frankly, it's not a good advertisement for a future coach when the side gets pumped by 160 points.
Conceding something like 138-3 from quarter time until midway through the last term is an absolute disgrace.
Gary Ayres will no doubt enjoy his 200th game and the Fred Cook celebrations. I can't imagine what the opposition coach is/was thinking. If he is hoping to leave the club in better shape than when he arrived, time is fast running out to achieve that modest goal.

What a memorable day for the Port Melbourne faithful. Something like 23 consecutive goals to Port at one stage.
A great tune up for Ports finals campaign and plenty to like with key personnel to return.
I'll post up a bit more tomorrow.
23 unanswered goals - is that some sort of record ? Perhaps Northport or VFA will know if we have done that in the past ? Port looked very polished yesterday - hopefully they don't get ahead of themselves and are focused v Box HIl. Slow starts still need to be addressed - a bit of a concern.
Record vfa score Williamstown 55.17.347 to camberwell 4.8.32 in 1986. Not sure if the seagulls kicked 23 uanswered goals though. Will check.
