8 OFFICIAL WEST GIPPSLAND FNC RECORD SPOTLIGHT JASON MEMBREY Name: Jason Membrey

Role: AFL Gippsland senior operations coordinator

Best moment in sport: Besides a number of Football & Cricket premierships, it would have to be my role of Team Manager of the Australian U17 Men’s Basketball Team than won a silver medal at the 2014 FIBA World Championships.

Best player you have seen in Gippsland football/netball: Mark Pearce, prominent member of the Traralgon Football Club during their domination years in the 90’s. Pearcy was a natural athlete who was versatile, athletic and should have gone on to play at the highest level. I haven’t spent too much time around the netball scene, but during the 90’s Traralgon Football Netball Club were dominant in the Football League and Marissa Pearce was a dominant player of her time.

Hopes for season 2017: That the inaugural WGFNC season has a smooth transition into its new format, bringing a competitive edge to it with all clubs vying for a top 5 finish.

Profile: Jason joined AFL Gippsland in December 2016, after 10 years at Latrobe City Council, in the areas of events, international relations and recreation and leisure facilities. Jason played football for 20 years at Traralgon and Gormandale and has spent the past three serving as team manager for the Australian U17 men's basketball team.
