I think this is a testament to our character and preparation' said Lavigne. He added: 'The Odyssey are a good team, but I we played our hearts out and kept grinding.

Earl Vaughn - Defensive Coordinator - Vienna Vanguard
Donald Bateman - Offensive Coordinator - Rome Gladiators

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Walter Johnson leaves the Bushrangers to become the head coach for the Athens Odyssey.

Darren Francis:
I think the Bushrangers lose Walter Johnson and I see him heading to Athens Odyssey.

Jim Nox:
The Bushrangers cannot hold on to Walter Johnson. I would like to see him coach the Athens Odyssey.

Jeremy Piper:
Mark Burrow is certainly on the move. That means Harpoon will need a new coordinator. As for where Burrow ends up? Well, I think Athens Odyssey is a good bet.
