At the AGM on Sunday, during the coaches report, Adam discussed the importance of getting the right character types to the club and to focus on 'buy-in' by the playing group.
I thought it was a positive meeting at this year's AGM. Looking forward to the season rolling around!
I'll also post up some of the signings for the women's side. Following last year's premiership, recruiting has been very good and should hopefully see at least another finals spot in 2024.
Also.. The club mysteriously hinted at a major announcement today at midday. Watch this space!
Good idea to post some of the signings for the women's team as well. I'd do the same for Frankston but our women's side isn't playing at VFLW level yet.
COACH: Adam Skrobalak (third season, contracted until 2024).
STAYING: Anthony Anastasio, Kyle Borg, Angus Curry, Felix Flockart, Josh Green, Cody Henness, Tom Hird, Tom Hofert, Harvey Hooper, Jack Johnston, Archi Manton, Bryce Milford, Oscar Roberts, Fraser Rosman, Matt Signorello, Harry Stubbings, Nick Stuhldreier, Kyle Viccars, Campbell Walker.
ARRIVING: Guy Barnes (Peel Thunder), Jacob Conlan (Albury), Lucas Conlan (Albury), Liam Coghlan (Box Hill Hawks), Billy Gowers (Moe), Sam Green (Clarence), Tom Highmore (St Kilda), Flynn Kroeger (Geelong AFL), Spencer Johnson (Northern Bullants), Harry Maguire (Pennant Hills), Robbie McComb (Western Bulldogs AFL), Jimmy Miller (South Fremantle), Mitch Moschetti (Carlton VFL), Owen Mulady (West Adelaide), Sam Philp (Carlton AFL), Lachie Rankin (Sydney AFL), Baker Smith (Northern Bullants), Roarke Smith (Western Bulldogs), Kye Turner (Melbourne), Tobe Watson (Swan Districts), Cam Wild (Northern Bullants).
DEPARTING: Harley Bennell (Harvey Bulls), Charlie Bowes (Coburg), Jack Briskey (Coburg), Dylan Clarke (Sorrento), Sam Collins (travelling), Jesse Cucinotta (retired), Joel Cusack (departed), Aiden Fyfe (Labrador), Jake Gasper (Central District), Angus Hanrahan (St Kevin’s), Nash Holmes (Montmorency), Paul Hunter (retired), Jordan Lane (Lauderdale), Marcus Lentini (Montmorency), Oskar Manton (departed), Josh May (departed), Sam Naismith (Richmond AFL), Ethan Phillips (Box Hill Hawks), Mitch Riordan (retired), Lachlan Smith (departed), Cody Stackelberg (Aspley), Jackson Weidemann (departed), Joel Wilkinson (departed).
TO BE CONFIRMED: Zach Adams, Tom Cameron, Jeremy O’Sullivan, Zach Walter.
I would be highly surprised if Tom Cameron returns to the Borough, given the allegations. Shame, as I thought his form had still been solid in 2023.
Is Port better off with the recruits this season ? Worse or around the same ? I say slightly better off at this point but confident that they will have a more successful season than the one past mainly due to a favourable draw. Bottom 3 stand alone clubs will be playing against one another therefore I would imagine 5 wins there and then requiring only 3 more wins from 12 games to exceed last seasons results.

THE VFLS MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB - THE MIGHTY PORT MELBOURNE BOROUGH!
I'M PORT MELBURNE BORN, I'M PORT MELBOURNE BRED, I'LL BE PORT UNTIL I'M DEAD!!!
Great to have TOS back at the club in an off-field capacity. There is quite the buzz down at the Borough just at the minute. We'll see if the pre-season matches continue to build up expectations. Digs will be delighted with my possibly misplaced enthusiasm.
Word is that Fremantle are likely to sign Patrick Voss, so we won't see him in the Red and Blue this season after all.

The announcement was the signing of three ex AFL listed players in Tom High more from the Saints and Roarke Smith and Billy Gowers from the Bulldogs.

Those are some good gets for the Borough.

A much improved list in 2024 with the additions bringing far more experience to the line up.
Look for a marked improvement.
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
A coaching list change rather than a player change, long serving player and ex captain Tom.O Sullivan has been appointed as a assistant coach.

Hi NorthPort great to see you still think of me as I remain interested in all things Port.
Has there ever been a year when there wasn't a buzz down there.
Great to see you have opened the purse strings up again.
We might be from the bush. but we ain't green
