PORT Melbourne coach Gary Ayres hopes a tall timber recruiting drive can help lift The Borough to another grand final.

Concerned the club was last year too reliant on power forward Adrian Bonaddio, Ayres has added Adrian and Fabian Deluca to the already-potent mix of David Fanning, Dylan McLaren and Bonaddio.

The new-look forward line -- minus Fabian, who kicked two goals in the reserves -- tore apart premier North Ballarat by 78 points in the grand final rematch at TEAC Oval last week.

Bonaddio and Adrian Deluca combined for nine goals in a forward line that will often also include a resting ruckman.
