Port Melbourne list changes 2025
Body: 

Best and fairest night tonight.  The evening normally throws up a few new names.

Tom Campbell mentioned by Paul Amy as a possible addition.

What is it we need ? What positions need filling ? I guess until we find out who’s going it may be a premature question however regardless of departures I would like to see some more pace added to the side, last year we looked too slow at times and I’m not convinced that our fasted player in Anastasio will be back. 
 

Perhaps another key forward to assist Gowers (who from listening to his comments about the club on vfl radio I’m convinced will re sign).

Fastest to fasted player (could possibly be fasting as well) - too lazy to edit, lazy Sunday!

No worries Mega,

Thought about correcting you a couple of times but didn't want to be a smart arse.

Big player movement to start off the off season, Robbie Mcombe gone as just reported on a fan page. Served the club well in his season with us.

You beat me to it MegaA.. 

I believe he may have signed on with the Colts in 2025.

I'm looking forward to the chance to meet him Digs.

He sounds keen to build the club up including better pathways and relationships with clubs in the region.

He did say on the radio that he looks forward to mixing with the fans, I’m sure in time we will cross paths. Sounds similar to Gary in the way that he makes himself approachable. I like what I hear so far, next step is seeing who we can hold onto and who we can recruit which may be a challenge considering the results of the past few seasons but somewhat offset by the coaching appointments.

Two big resigning in Highmore who finished best and fairest runner up and the captain is back. 
 

Some other big signings that I think is crucial we re sign are Flockart, Gowers and Rankin, hopefully we hear of them resigning soon.

Tom Hird is the latest re-signing as the Borough look to keep the core group together for 2025.

 

I was fairly confident of him signing on given the appointment of his dad at the club in a non game day role.

Paul Amy is saying Port are going hard for Dyson Heppel.

I’ll believe it after the deal is signed sealed and delivered. Didn’t Paul Amy also say that Hird was set to be head coach ? Happy to be corrected if I’m mistaken,

Not 100% sure but I think he only ever said Port were going to make Hird an offer ...

Cant imagine he'd want to play VFL. I reckon they will find some sort of assistant position for him.

Borough fan favourite and the man who finished third in last season’s best and fairest has just been announced as a re sign. A nice signature and along with Highmire confirms two of the top 3 placed best and fairest players, fans will be eagerly awaiting to see if Port can make the trifecta by signing Gowers.

Adrian Dodoro, former long time recruiting manager at Essendon has also put pen to paper.  Dodoro has a Cafe in Port, while Heppel is believed to reside in Port Melboiurne as well

Rumours are getting louder and louder that Heppell has been signed by Port, if the rumours are true then a announcement is imminent - the only delay in making it official i am guessing would be the club waiting to see who else puts pen to paper in order to release the player movement information in one batch. Is it a mere rumour or is it genuine ? The next few days should tell.
