Getting in earlier but are there any coaching changes/openings/retirements etc for 2014 yet?

Flagstaff Hill's B Grade premiership Coach Rod Mitchell has been appointed to take over the A Grade from 2014.

Nick Manhood to coach Porties A Grade

I noticed in the Sunday Mail that Noarlunga have reappointed Trevor Mitton again.
Is it just me or do others think Noarlunga have been the biggest underachievers of the last decade?
You can't always believe what you hear but there are plenty of rumours out they about how much they spend on recruits and are always talked about at the start of the season but haven't made a GF in at least 10 years with their last win in 2001.
There are also rumours about some of the antics of Mitton, how true they are is probably also questionable, but at what point do they look at another coach?
I don't think it will get much easier with a few players likely to retire this off season or next with guys like Golding, Comer, Peach and probably a couple of others getting older.

A lot depends on the quality of applicants available. I would have thought most clubs have done their due dilligence about who is available and more importantly what they think they're worth.
I have no idea what most clubs in the SFL pay their coaches, but I would assume most of them are paid very little for the job they do, but have heard more silly figures thrown about about what country clubs are paying coaches.

Some good results this year from newer appointments in Crate and Coleman and i think Petrucci may have surprised some outsiders as to the improvement from Reynella.
Anticipating there will be quite a bit of player movement this year from what I'm hearing, so could be a very interesting year to come ion 2014.
