Frankston travel to North Port Oval to take on the Borough this weekend in Round Six, and ABC TV Grandstand will be there to bring you all the action live on Saturday from 1pm on ABC1 in Victoria.

And as well as all the regular action, Phil Cleary will this week take you inside the coaches box with Gary Ayres for a special look at what it takes to be a VFL senior coach during a game.

Their Round Three blemish against the Bullants aside, Port have been in good form at the start of Season 2009, a first-up thrashing of North Ballarat in the Grand Final replay signalling their intentions to go one better this season.

And after backing it up with a hard-fought Round Two win over Casey, the Borough went 3-1 with a two-goal victory over the Cats, before having last week off.
