Keith Black Corporate Affairs and Communications Manager Under just about any measurement, an AFL club is a small to medium Steve Rosich Marketing Manager size business. That it attracts the amount of interest from the broadest Narelle Finch Sponsorship and Special Projects Manager range of people is just one of the aspects of this environment that Steven Icke Football Manager makes it different, and perhaps the reason why a person such as Chris Connolly attracts as much interest as he does each time he speaks at a Chris Connolly Senior Coach corporate function. The fact that he is highly entertaining and articulate adds to the mix, but there are many who seek to gain from the many Edition 1, 2004 lessons that a senior coach has learnt in the cut throat environment of AFL football. A Product of the Fremantle Football Club Communications Department. Email: [email protected] There has been a great deal of focus on Fremantle over the past year and in particular the turnaround that has occurred both as football team and as a business. Both are clearly linked and Chris Connolly has played Sponsors in 2004 a key role in both. What has often been underestimated in all of this is Major Sponsor that the product itself had, and continues to have, enormous potential and it is appropriate to give recognition to those who set the Club up in the first place. We take for granted many facets of this club which are now central to the strong position we are now establishing, but more importantly will form the core of the powerful club that we must become if we are going to be a consistent premiership contender. These include: Premier Sponsors 1. The fact we are Fremantle – based in Fremantle and an extension of the great Fremantle sporting tradition. At the same time we are not limited by our heritage.

  • Week9 E-Record .Indd
    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

After two years of uncertainty, the council-owned cattle selling facility was saved from permanent closure after elected members backed a motion to keep the gates open conditional on the yards maintaining a yearly throughput of 8500. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, elected members resumed discussion on a motion by cattle producer and Councillor Moira Neagle to continue the operations of the facility until 2025, de- velop a management plan for the faculty and consider recurrent funding for capi- tal upgrades. But Penola-based Rick Paltridge - who has been a vocal opponent of continuing the saleyards - told the chamber he had spoken to “numerous people around the region” including stock agents, truck drivers, meat buyers and farmers who he claimed believed the saleyards should be closed down.
