As a result of the impact of COVID-19 Port Adelaide has had to make the following changes to its football department.

It was with great disappointment the club advises that physiotherapist Michael Wilson, development coach Scott Thompson, rehabilitation coordinator Daniel Buberis and Melbourne-based recruiters Chris Drain and Anton Grbac will depart the club, effective immediately.

Port Adelaide GM – Football Chris Davies said it was a very challenging time for all involved.

“It’s never easy having to let good people go, especially in circumstances like this when it is of no fault of their own,” Davies said.

“It has been widely reported the impact COVID-19 will have on football departments across the entire industry and for us it is starting to become a reality.

“Michael, Scott, Daniel, Chris and Anton are all outstanding individuals and have contributed greatly to our football club in their respective roles.

“They will always be part of the Port Adelaide family and we wish them and their families all the very best in the future.”
