Possible debut game for Henshaw, as Port look to post a win in the next two weeks against Box Hill and Bendigo.
Looking at those sides, I reckon Box Hill doesn't look that bad. Maybe Matty or Rico might comment on that.

I've actually tipped Box Hill for this game.
Should be an interesting game.
Port will get up.
Gotta have faith.
As I said earlier, Lawrence will make a big differance.
Well we played some good footy in patches, but were killed at the centre bounces.
But Box Hill won by about 7 or 8 goals in the end.
I haven't said anything this year about the umpiring.. but I am going to say that we got a raw deal from the umps today.
I would love to know that stats for Free kicks FOR and AGAINST standalone clubs compared to the aligned sides.
Pleming did spend some time on Franklin... Buddy was reported for charging, and I reckon would be advised to take the 2 weeks automatic penalty.
The Borough came back a bit in the last quarter... kicking 6 goals in the first 15 minutes of that quarter... But it was all Box Hill after that to finish the game off.

Ons...I think you're drawing the short bow there....you're in for a particulalry lean season with the umpires as you only play Frankston twice...everyone else is aligned..
I agree about the standard of umpiring...last week against N.Ballarat it was terrible....the game on TV Werribee and Box Hill it was terrible...
In our match against Frankston I would say the opposite happened...the stand alone team appeared to get the better deal.....
It's a rare day when you can say that the umpiring was good...
Umpiring always seems a lot worse when you lose!
even though the margin was 61 points Port actually had the game in control for several periods of the game in every quarter
the opening 15 minutes looked ugly,but Port finished the 1st term welland the first 15 minutes of the last they played well,which proves that the team can play well when they have the structures right and are playing with confidence,it justthey need to string quarters and games together,but its a tough time with the inexperiance in the list.
You ripper. Wasn't able to get to the match, but looked out for the scores on chanel 7 news and was chuffed. Good to see Cooky in the goals again, another 3, he's the kind of VFL listed player we need, might be able to influence matches with more games under his belt.
Perhaps North Ballarat v Box Hill on ABC TV won't be the one sided affair it was shaping up to be, although Sav Rocca worries me. Can't think who could possibly play on him, he ripped us apart when at Port. Hope he gets a game at North...Melbourne.
Go Stangas!
