Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 4 November 2015: Tony Mirabella Appointed as League Coach The Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Mirabella as League Coach for the 2016 season. Tony joins the club from Collie Eagles in the South West Football League, where he has played since 2014. In 2014, Tony was Collie’s leading goal kicker, booting 57 goals in 18 games (including a bag of 9 goals vs Donnybrook). Tony also played in the South West Football League’s carnival side, which won the Division 1 Grand Final. Tony sustained a knee injury early in 2015 that kept him on the sidelines for much of the season, but it did provide him with the opportunity to act as Collie Eagles’ assistant coach for the season. Prior to joining Collie, Tony hailed from country Victoria, playing for Springbank Tigers and Waubra Roos (both in the Central Highlands Football League), and then in 2013 for Hasting Blues in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League. During that time, he was his club’s leading goal kicker, booting almost 50 goals in 2011, more than 60 goals in 2012 and more than 50 goals for Hastings in 2013. Tony was also a regular inclusion in inter-league representative sides, and was chosen in the MPNFL’s Team of the Year in 2013. Tony knows what it takes to achieve success, having played in a premiership side at Waubra Roos, and he is keen to transfer that knowledge to help the Saints in the push for a premiership in 2016. The Club will be holding a “Meet and Greet” session on Friday 20th November 2015 at 6:30pm, and all players and supporters are invited to come along to the clubrooms to meet our new League coach. 4 December 2015: Alan Rothall RIP The Club is deeply saddened to advise of the passing of Alan Rothall this morning. Alan and his wife Kaye are the owners of Odin Tavern, and have been long time supporters and valued sponsors of the Club. Our deepest sympathies go to Kaye and family, and all employees at the Odin. Alan is a true gentleman and he will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace. Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 18 February 2016: Guy Zaiti Awarded WAAFL Life Membership The Club is proud to announce that one of its greatest and most influential members, Guy Zaiti, has been awarded Life Membership to the West Australian Amateur Football League (WAAFL). The award was endorsed by the WAAFL at its AGM held on Wednesday 17 February 2016. Guy joined the Club when AICA (the predecessor to Balcatta AFC) was formed in 1980, and he played 26 games between 1980 and 1983. However, after his playing career was cut short from injuries, Guy's most valued contribution to the Club began in 1984, when he turned his attention to off-field duties. Guy took on multiple roles of League Team Manager, Colts Team Manager, Property Manager and Registrar, and quickly became the backbone of the Club’s off-field operations. Guy would consistently make sure the guernseys were ready for each game, the water bottles were filled and distributed, and pretty much every other task that some take for granted, but are essential in making a club run efficiently. Guy continued his duties for the Club for a number of years, and in 1989, he had the distinction of being the first person awarded with Life Membership to the AICA Football Club. In addition to him being awarded Club Life Membership, he has also been awarded the Club Service Award on two occasions - in 1999 and 2010. Guy has been an integral part of the Club for 37 years, and he is the epitome of what an amateur football club needs to survive. In addition to his duties at Club level, Guy was nominated for Life Membership to the WAAFL for his continual service to WAAFL representative sides since 1998, in numerous team support roles such as runner, property manager, assistant manager and water. Guy is an exceptional and reliable volunteer who goes about his role with minimum fuss. Guy is the first person from Stirling AFC to have been awarded Life Membership to the WAAFL. However, the Osborne Park Football Club previously had six club members who were awarded Life Membership to former West Australian Football Association (WAFA), including Albert Antulov (1967), Kevin Beaver (1973), Geoff Wade (1976), Cliff Guelfi (1976), Bruce Arlow (1980) and Bevan Beaver (1987). Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 8 March 2016 Jonathan Milner The Club would like to wish Jonathon Milner the best of luck for a speedy recovery, after he sustained serious injuries in a car crash on Sunday morning. Jonathon was the passenger in a vehicle that left the roadway and collided with a tree along the Northam- Pithara Road, about 15 km outside of Northam. The collision sadly resulted in the death of the driver, Brendan Thompson. Jonathon and Brendan were returning to Perth from the wheatbelt town of Beacon, where they had been training with the local footy club. We are all praying that Jonathon gets better and is able to return to full health as soon as possible. The Club also wishes to extend its sincere condolences to the Thompson family on their sad loss. 11 March 2016 WAAFL Fixtures Released The West Australian Amateur Football League (WAAFL) has released fixtures for the upcoming 2016 season. The Saints will kick off its premiership campaign with a Round 1 clash versus Ocean Ridge Eagles at Heathridge Park on April 9. This will be followed by two home games against Willetton and Carlisle, with the latter being the first ever game against the two teams. All clubs will have a mid-season break after Round 8 to coincide with the June long weekend. The Saints will play four games in six rounds between Rounds 2 and 7, but will finish with just three home games in the last eight weeks, including a final round clash at Noranda's home, Lightning Park. The Saints have recruited well over the off-season, and are looking forward to making a strong push for finals. The full fixtures are provided on the Fixtures page. Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 9 April 2016 Saints Draw First Blood The Saints have withstood a tough challenge from Ocean Ridge Eagles to run out 24-point winners in their opening round clash of the 2016 season at Heathridge Park. The first quarter was an even struggle, with Damien Lloyd kicking the Saints’ first two goals of the season. Ocean Ridge pegged back the margin, but a late goal from league debutante, Tony Continibali, allowed the Saints to grab a narrow break at the first change. The Saints were provided with some breathing space in the second quarter, when Patrick Travers and Cameron Grover kicking early goals, but Ocean Ridge returned fire again with two goals of their own. A rare goal from defender, Paul O’Neill, who was playing up the ground, allowed the Saints to take a 6-point lead into the main break. Newly appointed skipper, Aaron Sweet, extended the lead just two minutes into the third term, and when Adam Edwards and Marcus Filocamo goaled midway through the term, the Saints looked set to blow the game open. However, the Eagles stepped up the pressure and tackled strongly to reduce the margin to just 8 points at three quarter time. Ruckman Sandro Brezar completely dominated the centre bounces in the final term, allowing the Saints midfield to set up numerous entries into the forward 50. Young gun, Matt Cocker, playing his first league game since Round 2 last year, proved the difference early in the term, kicking two goals to put the result beyond the reach of Ocean Ridge. When Patrick Travers kicked his second goal in the final minute of the game, the margin had extended to 24 points, and the Saints undefeated record against Ocean Ridge remained in tact. The Saints will play their first home game of the season next week against Willetton Blues, who were narrowly defeated by Carlisle Cougars. Scoreboard: Stirling 3.3 6.3 9.4 13.8 (86) Ocean Ridge 3.2 5.3 7.8 9.8 (62) Goals: Stirling - Damien Lloyd 3, Matt Cocker 2, Patrick Travers 2, Tony Continibali 1, Adam Edwards 1, Marcus Filocamo 1, Cameron Grover 1, Paul O'Neill 1, Aaron Sweet 1 Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 16 April 2016 Saints Win From Kick After Siren The Saints have waited until the last kick of the day to secure a one-point victory in their Round 2 clash versus Willetton Blues at Richard Guelfi Reserve. In the first term, the teams went goal for goal, with playing-coach Tony Mirabella and Stephen Mansfield kicking their first majors for the Saints. Kicking with a slight wind in the second term, Willetton quickly grabbed the ascendancy and outscored the Saints by 3 goals to 1 to take a 11-point lead heading into the main break. The Saints’ only goal for the term came from the boot of defender Michael Franceschini. The Saints turned the tables on the Blues in the third term, and were able to control the ball for most of the quarter. Cameron Grover booted the Saints’ first after 5 minutes, and then in a purple patch midway through the term, Rory Muller, Damien Lloyd and Stephen Mansfield allowed the Saints to turn the half time deficit into a 10-point lead at three-quarter time.

  • [ASSEMBLY] a Good Job in His Current Role As Leader of the Opposition
    382 [ASSEMBLY] a good job in his current role as Leader of the Opposition. According to The West Australian I am one of 7 per cent of Western Australians who thinks that the member for Cottesloe is doing a good job. The Liberal party has 15 members in this place, so 7 per cent of that is about one member. Who is the one member on that side who thinks his or her leader is doing a good job? I think I know who it is, but I do not think it is the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. About two or three members opposite are prepared to put up their hand to support the Leader of the Opposition. I support the Leader of the Opposition. Let us look at what the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said about his leader. He said that he thought Julie will make a good opposition leader! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Education got off the track a little. I presume the minister has finished that answer, so question time is now over. ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR MARSHALL (Dawesville) [2.35 pm]: This is a very special occasion for me. It is the ninth speech I have made in the Address-in-Reply debate, but it is the first time from this side of the House. The position feels uncomfortable. It is like serving into the sun in a tennis match. Although one has the opportunity in a tennis match of getting the good end in the odd game, I know that I am stuck here for another three and a half years before I get the opportunity to get the sun out of my eyes.

  • Assembly Tuesday, 11 March 1997
    [Tuesday, 11 March 1997] 73 In light of the adverse nature of the DPP's comments, the Government resolved to set up an independent inquiry to review the conduct of the persons concerned and to recommend what further action, if any, should be taken. Mr Jeremy Allanson, a member of the Independent Bar with experience of the public sector, was commissioned to undertake the task. Mr Allanson has now completed a comprehensive examination of the facts. He has concluded that no further action against any government employee is warranted. I quote his conclusion - In the end, while I am conscious that others have reported critically on the management of the Casuarina project and suggested a disturbing degree of mismanagement, I am of the view that the available evidence does not support a finding that the cost increases in that project were as a result of financial mismanagement and I do not recommend the taking of further action against any members of the public sector who were involved in it. The Government accepts the finding and does not propose to further pursue this particular matter. However, it is continuing to look at ways of strengthening the framework for financial management and accountability. I table the report. [See paper No 269.] [Questions without notice taken.] SITTINGS OF THE HOUSE Days and Hours MR BARNETT (Cottesloe - Leader of the House) [2.57 pm]: I move - That unless otherwise ordered, the House shall meet on Tuesdays at 2.00 pm, Wednesdays at 11.00 am and Thursdays at 10.00 am. These are the same starting times as have been practised for the past four years.
