Ferret named a few possibilities on safooty Vince wasn't one I'm afraid goddy
Still hope we recruit good young strong players and a decent coach

Bernie, thoroughly entrenched in his real estate business in Melbourne.

I read somewhere that a few players were given a DCM. Anyone know who and was it by Godden. If yes was that premature.

I saw that mentioned on the SA Footy blog about 8 players being told they were no longer required. Then I heard Godden being interviewed on SANFL radio site and he did mention that he had talked to 8 players and then the playing group to tell them that he was off to the Crows. I guess that it is no longer his business who goes or stays then. It would be up to the new coach unless the board has had something to do with it as well. I guess we will find out eventually

Yeah on SA Footy by a south fan
Talking footy we are talking to vfl players 

What is actually going on no one seems to know

Paul Stewart in contention for a position at port power. Henley Sharks hope he will play for them next season.

Goddy I'll say sorry if I spell his name wrong I'm at lunch from my volunteer work . Just saw a tweet on fans of the Eagles latest rumour Brent Gurera to get our coaching job

Could be right about Sturt

The Power is becoming a destination for Ex Eagle players and officials.

Tomorrow is the last day for applications for our coach

Any truth in the rumour big Seb may not be retiring yet ?

Broadbent has not sighed for Port yet. Handy player if fit.

Not sure what his coaching credentials are since he stopped playing.

MJ this is a summary

HAWTHORN premiership player Brent Guerra is eyeing a return to the SANFL in the coaching vacancy at Woodville-West Torrens.
Guerra, 36, is part of the application field that closes with the Eagles at that closes at 5pm Friday.

Guerra, who started in the SANFL at Central District and was drafted to the AFL at Port Adelaide, is currently at AFL club Fremantle as a development coach.
There is strong interest from interstate candidates to fill the vacancy created by long-serving premiership coach Michael Godden’s move to the AFL as Adelaide’s new midfield coach.

Woodville-West Torrens is the last coaching appointment to be made for the SANFL next season.
The other change — prompted at Sturt by premiership coach Martin Mattner’s move to the Crows — has been filled by another former Central District player, Nathan Grima.
Guerra left SA at the end of 2003 when he was traded by the Power to St Kilda. His resume has 255 AFL games — 65 with Port Adelaide, 31 with St Kilda and 159 with the Hawks, including the 2008 and 2013 premierships.
Since retiring as a player at the end of 2014 — when he had a short stint in Tasmania with Devonport — Guerra has compiled a coaching apprenticeship at Hawthorn, Victorian community football and since 2016 at Fremantle.
Woodville-West Torrens remains in a waiting game with the SA Football Commission on its claim for compensation — as much as $100,000 — from being denied a grand final berth this year by the 19th man controversy in the preliminary final with North Adelaide.

Thanks Goddy

All quiet on the coaching scene. Something inside me say I hope its not Brent Guerra.
