“My family and I have decided to move to Queensland. I have loved my time at the Borough and I am proud of the work that has been done. I feel we have put a program in place that is built around professional standards and player development and will certainly help the group going forward” commented Skrobalak .
Port Melbourne Board Member and VFL Football Director Toby Pinwill thanked Adam for his commitment to the club.
“Adam will always be part of the Borough family and we thank him for his hard work and dedication over the past three seasons. We wish Adam and his family all the best”.

Reports coming out that McCartney has accepted the Port job with James Hird as his director of football or something similar.
It's official!
It's (almost) official!

Club announcement expected tomorrow morning.
McCartney's style might not please all at Port.
His tenure at North Ballarat he was solely dedicated to development & was never interested in bringing highly paid players or big names.
Abou ten of his youngsters had VFL experience at Footscray, Geelong, Werribee, Collingwood, North Melbourne & Brisbane.
It will need to be a change of direction at Port who won't want to be involved in too much development.
A very good coach & person just the same who knows Football & its people back to front.
