Any news on the comings and goings down at Frankston?

We know Russell Gabriel has departed to play in the WAFL.

Apparently form guru from Best Bets and TVN, David Gately, has joined the Dolphins coaching panel following a successful stint as coach of Oakleigh in the VAFA. If his footy analysis is anything like his racing analysis the Dolphins have done very well getting him on board.

Here are the award winners from presentation night held last night

Other news from night big ruckman Russell Gabriel is leaving the club and going to East Fremantle in WAFL to try and give a better chance to play AFL.

Here is the 'final' list of notable ins and outs at Frankston Park for 2011. I would expect most if not all of the ins to play senior footy at some stage.

In: Bob McCallum (Drouin/VCFL State team), Gavin Marusic (Kooweerup), Blake McGrath (St Kilda), Tyson Mitchem (Preston), Taylor Stratton (Sandringham/Karingal), Joel West (former Bendigo Pioneers/Bombers), Jake Greeley, Riley Heddles (Stingrays), Nick Boland (Sandrigham Dragons), Andrew Douglas (Frankston YCW), Dale Whelan (returning from 09), Rob Clements (Karingal)

Out: Michael Hibberd (Essendon), Ryan Hobbs, Ben Mitchell, Matthew Davis, Matthew Cavedon, Nick Boswell (all to local/country clubs).

Just caught the tail end of an interview with Simon Goosey.. Sounded like Brendon Fevola has signed with Frankston instead of Casey!

Huge news if true and will help with a healthy rivalry between the two clubs.

Can anyone confirm?

Does any Frankston of VFA Fan have a copy of Frankston's 1978 Grand Final Match. It's on You Tube but they can't be downloaded. I am starting a library of VFA Grand Finals.

Cheers

The new grandstand at Frankston Park will be officially opened in a ceremony next Wednesday November 17th at 3pm.

While on the topic on social clubs - re. The Casey thread, I never heard how Frankston went with there facility in securing pokies and therefore vital revenue for the club to survive. Anyone know?
