K Rock Football | Holding onto the slimmest of finals hopes, assistant coach Michael Herlihy says Portarlington isn’t looking beyond Saturday’s match-up with Modewarre at Portarlington Recreation Reserve.

The Demons sit two wins and 30 per cent behind fifth-placed Anglesea with six matches to play, with early-season losses to Surf Coast and Ocean Grove set to prove costly.

Sam Scott’s men would likely have to go unbeaten for the remainder of the home-and-away season to snatch their first finals berth since 1994.

“We just focus on this week,” Herlihy told K rock Football’s Beyond the Boundary podcast.

“And we understand the situation we’re in, and I think if I had your time again, you’d obviously want to turn up against Surf Coast, and you want to try and pip Ocean Grove as well.

“But we can’t control that now.

“So, the focus certainly is Modewarre, and Sam’s been really strong on his focus on this week."
