~ j 'j II ~ THE CHiEf COMMISSIONER •

I present my 1995 report to you during which time the most significant changes have taken place to our organisation since I have been a member of the Commission.

I mentioned in my report last year that a new development plan was being instigated with the assistance of the AFL and the Australian Football Foundation. A new development arm was formed with the NSWAFL and the ACT AFL combining together to form the NSW-ACT Australian Football Development Foundation which now controls junior development of the code in this State and the ACT. With the Foundation up-and-running, this will give the NSWAFL more time to concentrate on our affiliates and their needs in an endeavour to promote and develop a higher standard of administration and football in this State.

Chief Commissioner During the year Ron Joseph resigned from the Commission as he left the City Of JOHN YATES . I take this opportunity to thank Ron for his contribution not only to the NSWAFL but to the code in this State. Ron's positive thinking and liaison with the AFL assisted in the development program which ultimately resulted in the forming of the Foundation. We wish Ron well with his future involvement wherever it may be with Australian Football.

We welcome John Livy to the Commission as Ron's replacement. I am sure that John's expertise in business management as well as his football background will be a great acquisition to the NSWAFL.

With.the transition of development to the Foundation organisation during the year, our financial structure changed and became an issue of concern to the Commission and senior staff. Once again the AFL came to our assistance and I am pleased to Commissioner COL KOHLHAGEN announce we were able to come in on budget at the end of our fmancial year. To the credit of Chief Executive Craig Davis and Administration Manager Peter Hiscock, mini-budgets were prepared and credit squeezes implemented and the fmal result I am sure, saved us from developing ulcers.

A new sponsorship agreement was signed with our major sponsor Carlton & United Breweries for the next three years. We thank CUB for their continued support to the NSWAFL. To our many other sponsors, Ithank you for your strong support.

On your behalf, I wish to thank the AFL and the AFF for their commitment to the code in NSW and Iask you all for your support where and when you can, especially to the development staff who are working in your areas. These guys cannot do it alone and must have the assistance of you, the football people. Commissioner REG TURNER This year NSW hosted the prestigious National Under 17 Commonwealth Bank (Teal) Cup in the Wagga and regions. A great deal of work went into the staging of these championships and to all those involved (too many to mention) I extend my sincere appreciation. From all reports received, it is pleasing to note that organisationally, this year's event was up there with the best. Of course, we had little control over the weather.

Competitively, our NSW team found the going tough against the strong opposition provided by Vic Metro, Vic Country and South , but they earned the admiration of all for their efforts. Also on the representative front, the NSW AU Schools team achieved outstanding success, going through undefeated in the national carnival held in , and our State Under 15 team acquitted themselves very well again during their annual trip to . The NSW Primary School Group also Commissioner continues to provide an excellent grounding for our younger representative players PETER MACKINLAY who this year participated in the 65th annual National Exchange in .

The strong organisation and keen competitiveness of each of these groups will hold NSW in good stead for years to come in the development of young footballers capable of playing the game at its highest level. On behalf of the Commission, I extend the League's appreciation to our development staff and all those involved with the preparation and management of these teams and of course the players themselves who again proved to be fme ambassadors for New South Wales.

Iwish to thank my fellow Commissioners for their support over the past U months, Colin Kohlhagen has done a tremendous job in the in bringing Riverina and Farrer Football Leagues together under the one administration, now known as the Commissioner Murrumbidgee Valley Australian Football Association. Peter Mackinlay's time and JOHN L1VY

NSWAFl PAGE3 1\1THE CHiEf COMMISSIONER

dedication in bringing the Foundation together and Reg Turner's astute business and marketing expertise have all contributed to a very successful working relationship within the Commission.

Ralph Neill once again supervised the management of our financial and company affairs iIi his usual congenial manner. As a result of his many years service, Ralph now has II comprehensive understanding of the League's operations and his value to our organisation is immeasurable.

During the year we were also fortunate to gain the services of Blake, Dawson & Waldron as the League's Honorary Solicitors. Aldo Nicotra and Andrew Martin willingly provided us with advice on a number of occasions during the year.

To these gentlemen, I extend the League's appreciation for their valued contribution.

To our dedicated staff, I thank you all very much. I trust that 1996 will be an easier year for you as a result of the League's new direction. My position as Chief Commissioner would be so much more difficult if it wasn't for the support and dedication of Craig, Peter, Kris and Brendan and I thank them for the hours and the commitnient they make to the NSWAFL and our great game.

As this report goes to print, discussions are taking place between the NSWAFL and the ACTAFL to create a closer relationship for the betterment of the code in this State and the ACT. We believe the political boundary around the Capital Territory should be moved for the good of football and at present, negotiations are under way to ensure a smooth working relationship can be implemented.

As in 1995, I look forward to continued progress in 1996. Our relationship with the Sydney Football Club is now well-cemented and if we all unite and strive together to lift the pronte of ourselves and of our on-ground playing-performances, I am sure we will gain further public support.

I thank you.

NSWAFl PAGE7 IIUMPIRING I Umpiring in NSW continued to make important steps forward in 1995. The participation of umpires in several programs ensured that coaching and trazning of umpires maintained the edge needed to keep pace with the development of football in this State. ! Some of the successful programs included - i I 1 - an Umpires Advisors-Observers Seminar held in Sydney during March to look at . improved methods of coaching and training umpires. 2 - II Level 2 Seminar held at the AIS in to ensure that the young umpires involved i received correct instruction at this level. I 3 - the dissemination of an Umpiring Coaching Plan to all Advisers throughout the State to ensure they have guidelines to coach the umpires under their control. ! 4 - the maintaining of a Talent Acceleration Program for young umpires in NSW. This I culminated in their excellent on-field performances at the NSW-ACT Under 15 ChampionshipS at Canberra in July. I 5 - a Senior Umpires Seminar held at the AIS in Canberra during February which involved umpires from Sydney, ACT, Riverina and Albury Umpires Groups. 6 - successful Development-Training Clinics held at several Umpiring Associations around thb State by either the State Director or Senior Umpires from Sydney. I Director of Umpiring KEITH OGSTON 7 - AFL Gavin Dore officiating at a MVAFA game and conducting a clinic for Riverbta Umpires in June. i Accreditation of umpires in NSW remains a priority with some 70 umpires gaining Levell and I another 20 passing Level 2 of the National Accreditation Scheme. These results were pleasing and it is hoped that in future, Umpiring Groups and Football Leagues continue to support umpires Who attempt to further qUalifreations. The Advisors-Co-ordinators who put time and effort into assisting umpires gaining qualifreations are most apprecioted for their efforts. I An indication of the success of umpires in NSW is the number now being used at the AFL Senior Level. In 1995, Matthew Norden (freld) 14 games, Steve Donlan (ACT boundary) 11 games, Mike Heinrich (goal) 8 games and Paul Hoare (goal) 6 games - all offreioted at the highest level. These umpires continue to forge the path for other NSW umpires to reach the AFL. A further 15 umpires were used at AFL Reserve Gr~e Level. .. .. I In Sydney, several young umpues have progressed from the Junwr ranks to umpue In the Syd1(ey Football League. This is reflected around the State where many talented umpires have progressed to senior games. . Representative selections in 1995 were again keenly sought, these included - National Under 17 Championships (Southern NSW) Grant Godfrey (NSW) Anton Lewis (NSW) Matthew Butler (ACT) National Schoolboys (perth) Andrew Harper (Albury Umpires) Michael Keneally (ACT) State Under is's Tour (Melbourne) James Watson (NSW) State Championship Games Grant Godfrey (NSW) Andrew Harper (Albury Umpires) , 'Dave Boulton ' ,",' Gene Hodgins I The Commonwealth Bank Under 17 Championships held in Southern NSW in July proved to be a diffreult exercise for umpiring due to climatic conditions, ground locations and the number of II games involved. However, due to the support of the Albury Umpires League and the Riverina Umpires Association the Championship was well-umpired and feedback from offreials was again favourable. I Recruitment of umpires remains a continual battle. In 1995 the number of appointments per week fell slightly, whilst umpiring numbers remained approximately the same as 1994. However, in I many leagues the numbers of umpires are not suffreient to cover all appointments without some 'doubling-up' each weekend. Over 100 new umpires were recruited, so it is obvious, we are not retaining enough experienced umpires each year. I Retention of umpires depends a lot upon the support of the Football Leagues and Clubs involvJd. If an umpire is constanJly and unfairly criticised by those involved in the management of the GarlJe, then e'lioyment of the job creases and umpires are lost to the Game. Therefore, the recruiting I campaigns run through the initiative of the State Director of Umpiring and local umpiring groups are rendered less effective by the loss of experienced umpires! Umpires, clubs, leagues, offreials and play.ers are all 'in this' tog.et!'er. ~ithout more support [or umpiring t~e development of.th,e Game will suffer because umplTlllg will not be able to sustam the level of unprovement requued to keep with the players and the game. I It should be noted that retention problems aside, the state of umpiring in NSW is quite healthy! Many younger and talented umpues are coming through the ranks and the feedback from Leagues around the State and from what I have observed myself suggests, competent performances arel' being produced every week at the local level. . I wish to again acknowledge the support and assistance umpiring has received from the NSW Commission and staff and the local leagues. Again in 1995 our progress has been due to the 'Work of many individuals who either umpire or assist umpires in some way. The AFL continues to I support umpiring in NSW and with continued support across the State from all sections of the I Game, our "vision statement" may be attainable. It is - "umpiring in NSW will provide a professional service of the highest quality which satisfres the needs of Australian Football at all levels. It is an example for all sports and is recognised 1 nationally as being so. " KEITH OGSTEN NSW State Director of Umpiring

The Tigers gained some much needed talent in the form of Anthony Hall (Strathmore), James Considine (North Old Boys) and Ashley Thompson from the Swans to help b30st their chances in their second year back in the SFL. . Reigning premiers Campbelltown also lost a couple of stars in David Murphy and Craig McGough from their 1994 line up but they regained 1992 Phelan Medallist Lee Campbell and picked a few handy players in Adam McMahon (Maryborough), Scott Ellis (Army) and Clinton Cole from Sydney Uni. Pennant Hills and St George continued with the tradition of promoting local talent with the Demons adding only the experienced Craig Headland (Southport) to their side in the early stages of the season and the Dragons started 1995 with only two new players to the club Andy Taylor (Wests) and Tom Matthews (Bulleen- Templestowe) gaining a place in their first round team. In their normal fashion, East Sydney recruited well bringing giant ex-Swans ruckman David Willis out of a three year retirement forced through injury.

.... and the winner is - Aussie Rules fot Sydney!

Superules is modified Aussie Rules for over 35s (Superules), over 40s (Masterules) and over 45s (Seniorules). The rules are modified to reduce injuries but retain the competitive instinct in us all. Superules NSW are a group of highly trained, skill endowed players in peak physical fitness - or so we claim!

1995 was a sensational year for Superules NSW. We had a torrid home-and-away series with mini-carnivals galore, which were enjoyed by all, and in which we perfonned very well.

We had a bunch of new blokes start this year whilst retaining our core of over 40 and 45s. We now have a very good showing in all three grades.

This year NSW held its first National Carnival in which all states and territories participated (unfortunately NT couldn't make it this year). The Carnival is run ovel' the first week in October - we have three days of games, a picnic day, and a presentation night. The Carnival in 1996 will be held in South Australia.

The 1995 draw was hectic, the massage tent always packed, the beer flowed, the competition was earnest and the friendsflip as always, enjoyable.

Our picnic day in October was held at Cables Ski Park and was a resounding success, alJhough we might have hadjust a little more sunshine. The games were held on The Crest Oval at Bass Hill whtre the effort and attention to detail shown by the Bankstown Council in preparing the-se grounds was great. Lord Mayor Grant Lee was in attendance to help open the Ca.rQivaland was surprised at the size and scale of the event.

The Presentation Night was a gala event held at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre. Highlights of the evening are the awarding of trophies and certificates. This year though, the highlight was the appearance and participation of Ron Barassi, and we thank him for his time.

NSW won each of the grades it was competing in. We had a great showing in the umpires votes at the end and also in the goal-kicking. Videos of the 1995 Carnival are available for $30, which includes over three hours of footage.

The Carnival was a financial success, an administration success and a football success - leaving a distinct mark upon all who participated and setting new standards for future Carnivals.

1995 saw Superules NSW become an incorporated body and it also became affiliated with the Sydney Football League. We have had great support from the SFL, namely Craig Davis, (who was second in the goal-kicking in Masterules) and Peter Hiscock.

We would like to thank our sponsors, namely Sports Break Travel, Western Suburbs Aussie Rules Footy Club, Hartz Mineral Water, Carlton & United Breweries, Ansett Australia and Laurie and Lyn Lyttleton.

We look forward to seeing all who playtd in 1995 again, and have indications of a new team joining our competition next season. We still need more participants from the northern part of Sydney.

VOLUNTEERS A number of willing volunteers again stepped forward to assist the League in various roles during the year when extra hands were required. In his usual efficient manner, Joe Matchett carried out the ground management duties at the SFL Finals with the able assistance of John Foy, Bill Johnston and Ken Arthurson and Lionel Beale again led the clock watchers brigade of Albert Blake, Tony Doodie, Elizabeth Bishop and Judy Bisby. The assistance with ground preparation at Monarch Field by Campbelltown's Albert Matson, Ellis Noack and others was also greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Roy Aldridge, John Iveli, Phyllis Wells and Ron Goulding of the Holroyd-Black/own Club who volunteered their services to assist with ground management, timekeeping and interchange duties for the SFA Finals at Rosedale Oval and of course to Bill & John & Ken for their help on the gate.
