PORT ADELAIDE is open to whatever the AFL fixture throws up and has faith that it will get plenty of home games in the back end of the season, according to senior assistant coach Michael Voss.

The AFL last night revealed Port would face Greater Western Sydney in Round 6 at Metricon Stadium.

That could mean the club would have to stay in the Queensland hub for an extra week, but at a press conference on Thursday, Voss said he expected to return to Adelaide after the Round 5 game against Brisbane.

“We’ll go home after the Brisbane game – I think we take off straight after that game,” he explained.

“I don’t know the specifics of when we return but we’re quite prepared to go home after the Brisbane game.

“We’ve made that call, the AFL have given us approval to do so, so it seems to make sense at the moment that if we can do that fly-in, fly-out then we’ll take it from there.”

There has been some suggestion that Port Adelaide may play in Melbourne in Round 7, meaning the side would have only played in Adelaide once in the first seven rounds.

Voss said all clubs had to be nimble with how they were approaching the season, with so many variables and unknowns, and his side was prepared for what ever is to come.

“We’ve taken a fairly strong position,” he said.

“We’ve been well and truly informed by the AFL. We understand it’s not a perfect scenario.

“I think we’ve reacted really really well. We’ve made a focus on not having any distraction whatsoever so if that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes.

“We’ll take great solace in our leaders’ position and that they’ll even out in the end.

“We might be away at the start but… it all evens out at the end – we’ll certainly get our fair share of home games at the back end.”

From Monday up to 25,000 people will be allowed to attend events at Adelaide Oval, and Voss said that gives him hope that by the time Port Adelaide plays at its home ground it will have a big vocal crowd to play in front of.

“If you’re looking at a bigger picture sort of thing, from a members and fans perspective, it’s exciting because the longer this goes and the longer we’re able to contain the spread, the more confidence people get,” he said.

“We’ll start to fill our stadiums and start to get our people back and that’s something that they would look forward to.”
