Asked why, Ryan replies: “I thought I might be able to help the club a bit more.” Hadn’t he already done enough? “You can always do something to help,” Ryan says. Ryan fondly remembers the days when Brian Holcombe was captain-coach of Werribee back in its expansion season. And he can also rattle off the names of every Werribee senior coach, men that have included Holcombe, John Murphy, Des Tuddenham, Donald McDonald, Alastair Clarkson and current coach Simon Atkins. He can also reel off the names of every captain and best and fairest winner in the club’s history. While Ryan had to wait 38 years for Werribee to post its first VFL Werribee’s premiership, he fondly remembers the day the Tigers defeated Port Melbourne in the explosive 1993 original Tiger Grand Final at MC Labour Park.

    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.
