Wow, this is somewhat of a suprise...

Agree with all comments that Corey never played a bad game and Port will certainly miss his versatility, leadership and skill in 2010 and beyond...

Does anyone know why he decided to retire, I know he's from up north originally, is he going back home, playing locally or just had enough of footy ? Interesting...

Great player, as honest and as hard as Ive seen. Top bloke to boot.

Rumour has it that he signed with Gawler South last week.

He said he was weighing up moving back to Darwin where he has been offered a job, or whether to play ametuer league. Didnt mention playing at Gawler.
