Although not successful in either encounter against Koroit and Cobden, Portland's younger brigade again showed that they will be a very competitive unit in season 2015. Missing several regular senior players, it was the likes of Jesse Murray, Lochie Huppatz, Aaron Caldow and Josh Andrews who mastered the pressure applied from the opposition and set up many scoring opportunities. Although the field delivery was of quite a reasonable standard, the finishing in the forward half still needs a lot of polishing, exemplified by the behinds scored significantly out weighing the goals registered. The coaching panel would be well pleased by the endeavour of the playersand hopefully this trait will be transferred into the season proper which commences on Saturday April 18th with a home fixture against Port Fairy. Before that the Tigers will have a hitout against Tyrendarra on Thursday April 2nd under the new lighting system at Tyrendarra.
