PORTLAND’S 2023 South West Victorian Football Association (SWVFA) campaign will see the club take a markedly different form to the one which hoisted both the division one and two premiership cups aloft in 2022, with the most significant change to be at the top.

Last season’s coach of both the division one and two sides Jake Davies will still be a key part of the soccer club but in the more reduced capacity of assistant coach, with Stephen Von Tunk to take on the top job.
