Assistant coach Tyson Goldsack will depart Port Adelaide after accepting an opportunity at an AFL club in Melbourne.

Goldsack joined Port Adelaide ahead of the 2020 season as a SANFL leadership player and development coach following his retirement from AFL football.

Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson thanked Goldsack for his time at Alberton.

“Tyson has made an important contribution to our football club since joining us in 2020,” Mr Richardson said.

“We thank Tyson for the last six years and wish him and his family all the very best as they make the move back to Melbourne.”

Further details of Josh Carr’s finalised coaching panel will be shared in due course.

New Father/Son option today, well in 18 years

Port Adelaide is set to promote former player Hamish Hartlett to a line-coaching position, meaning the club will need to find a new SANFL coach.
The Power have been forced into a reshuffle of the panel underneath first-year senior coach Josh Carr after Tyson Goldsack was lured back to Collingwood last week.
Goldsack was earmarked to be the Power’s forwards coach and take care of its ball movement after spending the last couple of years in charge of the defence.
The Power had also added former Gold Coast senior coach Stuart Dew as its midfield coach and senior assistant, Luke Webster from West Coast to head-up the backline, Glenelg two-time SANFL premiership winning coach Darren Reeves for contest and opposition analysis and Hawthorn’s Andy Collins as director of coaching.
But with Power coaches to report at Alberton next week, Port will have to pivot from its original plan.
This is set to involve Hartlett, who has been Port’s SANFL coach for the last two years, stepping up to an assistant coaching role.
The former Power vice-captain, who played 193 games, joined the club’s men’s program coaching staff in 2023 as a development coach after a year at junior club West Adelaide following his AFL career ending.
In 2022 he was also an assistant for the AFLW team.
The Power are on the hunt for a SANFL coach, and it is unsure whether Hartlett’s successor will be formalised when coaches return to Alberton next week.

What a winning culture

HAWTHORN has added another coach to its development team for 2026 by signing Port Adelaide development coach Jason Williams.

Williams has spent the past two years working at Alberton under Ken Hinkley after starting his coaching journey in Victoria.

A proud Noongar man from Narrogin in Western Australia, Williams coached alongside Xavier Clarke in the Indigenous All Stars game on the eve of the 2025 season.

Williams worked with the emerging forwards at the Power and oversaw Port Adelaide's Next Generation Academy.

Now you're just trolling...

[Booney]

Well, now we need a Footy Boss, SANFL coach and NGA boss. Bit of work to do yet.

Must be our culture why he's leaving.

Recently retired Gold Coast player Sean Lemmens has joined Port Adelaide in a hybrid role working across football and community, while Mitch Clisby has been added to Josh Carr’s coaching panel.

Lemmens’ role encompasses working across the Next Generation, father-son and daughter, and futures academies. He will also support player development, connect with pathway talent, and strengthen the club’s community impact through his work with Power Community Ltd.

The 30-year-old arrives at the club after 149 games at AFL level for the Suns since being drafted in the 2013 national draft as a Port Adelaide junior.

During his playing years, he also volunteered his time with the Suns’ AFLW program, engaging with players around leadership and team culture.

A proud First Nations man, Lemmens will settle back in Adelaide after more than a decade in Queensland, relocating with wife Chaye and young daughters Rhaea and Penelope.

North Adelaide premiership player Clisby will come to Port Adelaide as a development coach, following the departure of Jason Williams, who will return home to Melbourne for a new opportunity.

Clisby has been working as talent manager and under 18s coach at the Roosters for the past two years, while also previously serving as an assistant coach in the club’s league program.

As a player, he made eight AFL appearances for Melbourne in 2013 and played 151 SANFL games for North Adelaide, leading the side as captain for two seasons.

Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson was delighted to welcome the pair to Port Adelaide.

“We are very pleased to have Sean and Mitch join the club,” said CEO Matthew Richardson said.

“Sean brings a unique set of experiences as an AFL player, with a passion for community programs. Sean’s history at Port Adelaide, being the last player to come through our traditional pathway into the AFL also gives him a great sense of connection to the club and what we are looking to replicate in a future context through our expanded academy programs.

“Mitch’s coaching experience and teaching background will complement our coaching group well. He won a SANFL premiership under our senior coach Josh Carr and alongside our captain Connor Rozee and ruckman Jordon Sweet, so he already has some great relationships in place. He also brings an important development focus to our program.”

“We also wish Jason all the best with his future and thank him for his two years of service to Port Adelaide.”
