Um Virgin was the Div3 Medalist last year and been captain for 2 years.

Ive only heard these players are leaving from other players, just seems to be a mass exodus from the club at one time. Things must be shaky down there. Can any one give us an insite to what the situatio is there.

I think its the same Marshall, there is only one.

So is Micky O pulling the boots on for another season?

by **Dude** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:18 pm

portlands major loses are marshall(coach), virgen(capt), gale(capt) and webber(v - capt).
Marshall and virgin are only definites to play a grade at new clubs.

Marshall was a class act at Div 3 level last year? The guy just kept finding the footy, no matter what was put in his way. Should play A grade every week for Seaton. Virgin ain't bad either, should probably play A grade for Gepps, they're midfield isn't the strongest at the moment I don't think.

Odegard and DePalma are young blokes who'll play A Grade for 10 years or so, that's gonna hurt Portland in the long run. Expect the Thunder to be playing Div 5 in 2007.

And Magpiespower, he was at training last week, so I'm assuming he'll play again next year.

just a bit of div 2 news I've heard...shocs have lost about 11 players from their GF side last year inc their captain and 2 vice captains? can anyone confirm?

Heard last night that Salis West have appointed Fabian Francis as coach for 2006. Long way from AFL /SANFL to Div4 SAAFL.

I read somewhere that Bill Schutt walked out on Smithfield because he had the Salisbury West job for next year...

Saw quite a bit of Paul Marshall in the short period he was at SMOSH and was a big fan of the way he plays, plenty of talent and always used to see his name in the best for Portland in the Sundy mail, would imagine as previous posters have suggested, his loss will be significant at Portland!

I also read this somewhere Pag. Probably from the same source as well. Either this information was inaccurate or Salisbury West have done the dirty on Bill in favour of Francis.

A few thoughts from roots central

Would be disappointed if Fabian has been given the job if Billy was elected first...After the farce that was the grand final I think the league would have been ecstatic with a well respected Northern Suburbs coach having the gig..Salisbury West don't need any more headlines..just a quiet year staying off the radar

Koster got the job at SHOC cause he was to high profile to just be the cleaner...interesting to note last years coach is the president for next year..Why?

Goodwood Saints are very quiet re their coach for next year..have heard its Trent mills anyone confirm

A rumour that Mark Moody is coaching a college side last year coached by a former league footballer

Scott Direen is training at PNU and Troy Clements at the raggies

A high profile Div 1 club has allegedly lost two of its playing assistants coaches

Good to see Rocky Butterworth back at the dolphins..Mark Bayliss can continue with his Rocky and the dolphins mantra

Heard a couple of stories coming from down Towns way one confirmed one not. Unconfirmed is that Kym Cobb has taken up a coaching position somewhere else. The confirmed one was 6 guys from Townies were training pre Christmas at Seaton Ramblers. Interesting change of clubs if they stay there.

As per a post I placed on FootySA ...

SMOSH/West Lakes looking for a coach for their U/17's still, last season they were undefeated premiers and have retained approx. 80% of the playing list, they have trainers and all other requirements covered, just need a coach .. If anyones interest let me know at mailto:needmorejo@hotmail.com and I'll point you in the right direction!
Cheers,
CP

Mark Moody is helping out with the port adelaide underage teams i have heard.
