South Australian Women's Football League Annual Report Alex Price, Inaugural Captain U16s, Caitlyn Swanson and Brittany Perry Co Captains U18s Courtney Cramey, Captain SA AFL Women’s State Open Team 2011 South Australian Women’s Football League Annual Report PRESIDENT’S REPORT What an extremely busy year 2011 has been! The 2011 Season commenced on Saturday 30th April under lights at Modbury Oval. The League welcomed new team Modbury Hawks to the field for their debut against Central District. Six teams were now to compete in the League for the Season. Although there was plenty of nerves and excitement, Modbury kicked a minor score to allow Central District to run out victors to record their first win. Congratulations must go to Julie Wells for her organisation in getting Modbury Hawks up and running. The League was lucky enough to have been given the 2011 AFL National Women’s Championships to host in early June to coincide with its 20th Anniversary. Planning commenced with the organisation of this mammoth task late last year and I would sincerely like to thank Dara Braithwaite who volunteered on her days off to assist me in this process. Gratitude must also go to the SANFL for their in kind support in providing ovals and manpower for some of the many roles that had to be carried out throughout the Championships. The Championships went down as one of the best and all States were most appreciative of the efforts put in by SA for the running of the carnival. In July, the Inaugural Under 16 School Girls represented SA at the Nationals in Canberra and came third overall in the Championships and September the U18s went to the Gold Coast for their Nationals. Both teams did their State proud. Reports on these two Nationals and the Open State Women’s are detailed later in this Report. Mid June saw Barry Oates, SANFL Community Umpires Manager take over the allocation of Umpires for the remainder of the Season. Barry is going to work with the League in providing a strategy for allocation of Umpires for Season 2012. Thank you Barry for your efforts and coming on with little notice. The League would also like to thank Central District for providing Umpires when Barry wasn’t able to. The League throughout the Season participated in two Bunnings Warehouse BBQ’s, Pink Round coordinated by the SANFL for Breast Cancer Awareness and the Australian Credit Union Central Lottery Ticket sales, which not only bring the League in funding, also those Clubs who participated. The League in conjunctions with the SANFL had discussions and workings with Whyalla, Yorke Peninsula and Broke Hill to assist in establishing Women’s Football in Regional Areas. The Board of Management at one of their Meetings decided to bring in Club based U18s to commence in Season 2012 and discussions have also been held with Ingle Farm and Pooraka. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Management and the Executive for their efforts and support throughout 2011 and in particular, Emma Gibson SANFL Female Football Coordinator and Peter Cates SANFL Inclusive Programs Manager for their tireless efforts in working to put female football further on the map in South Australia. 2012 is going to be another hectic year in Women’s Football and I wish you all the very best for the Festive Season!! CHERYL CATES President 2 TREASURER’S REPORT ABN: 70 317 929 448 The 2011 Season commenced with a balance of $10,745.29 for the General Account and $2,036.08 for the State Account. Fundraising throughout the year came from: Bunnings Warehouse BBQ Australian Credit Union Lottery Chocolate Drive U18s Raffle U18s Kickathon U18s Fundraising Night State Open Team Sale of new and used footballs Gate takings from Finals Sale of Budgets at Amateur League Finals U18s Various sponsors and individual sponsors for State Teams Sale of Can/Stubby Holders The League was once again successful in applying for the following Grants: Australian Sports Commission for Elite Indigenous Players for all Representative Teams Office of Sport and Recreation for assistance with running of the 2011 AFL National Championships Once again, the League participated in a Pink Round organised by the Community Football League (CFL), donations received from this were paid to the Cancer Foundation via CFL. It was very pleasing that all Clubs paid their fees to the League by the due date and are fully financial for the Season. The League’s Financial Accounts have now been transferred over to the MYOB Accounting System and will be further streamlined in 2012. The League is in a good financial position to commence Season 2012. JUNE BUNKER Treasurer 3 4 5 EAGLES WOMEN’S FOOTBALL CLUB (EWFC) 2011 As the football season comes to an end, 2011 has been another very successful one for the Eagles Women's football Club. In the 20th Anniversary year of SAWFL, Eagles/Edwardstown affiliation secured its 11th premiership and continued off field success. This year saw the President of the previous two years, Del Barczak step down from her role, from the new President I show huge appreciation for the efforts of the previous two years and to the efforts of my current committee members. The Eagles off field success can be attributed to a long term sponsorship deal held with the Lord Melbourne Hotel which has provided the club with important financial support and a venue for social events throughout the season. A huge thanks to Kym and all his staff at the Lord Melbourne Hotel. I also wish to acknowledge the support of Edwardstown Football club, to President, John Shaw and the committee at the club we are thoroughly enjoying this partnership and look forward to the relationship continuing to grow in coming sea- sons. We were also delighted to be the SA winner of the ADF, Army—Kick for your Club challenge for the second year in a row, a big thanks to Coach Jules Smith for setting up and logging on every day for the Club rewarding the club with another financial prize. In the football department, Eagles welcomed a number of new recruits including our first junior recruits to join the club in a number of years, Hannah Crump and Krystal Rankine. Eagles endured a long season with many players suffering injuries throughout, however the team made it through the minor round season only losing three games. This season was the first finals campaign to include a Semi and Preliminary final round mean- ing finishing minor premiers in 2011 didn't guarantee a Grand final appearance. Once again a big thank you to Jules Smith for her coaching efforts and all the support staff volunteers, Dave, Gavin, Mulvie, Mark and Melsy, our club would not see the success it does without these valued volunteers. 2011 also saw the National State Carnival held in Adelaide, congratulations to the Eagles representatives who participated in the carnival, Cass Hartley, Sarah Maserio, Dannielle Cresp, Eliza Oates, Naomi Maid- ment, Lea Fry and Kylie Guarino. A big congratulations to Danielle Cresp for making the AFL talent squad and to Kylie Guarino for winning the State Team 2011 Best and Fairest, a great effort and reward for a great week. Eagles were well rewarded at the Dutschke Medal night, with Cass Hartley finishing Runner Up for the Dutschke Medal, and Fiona Clancey winning the Glazbrook Medal as the Leading Goal Kicker. Medal win- ners at the 2011 club presentations included; Cass Hartley and Lea Fry joint Best and Fairest, Sarah Maserio, Mulvie Award winner and Eliza Oates winning best team man. I would like to thank all the internal and external partners that keep the Eagles Women’s Football Club the successful and cohesive group it is and look forward to doing it all again in 2012. NAOMI MAIDMENT PRESIDENT 6 7 GREENACRES WOMEN’S FOOTBALL CLUB (Dragons) 2011 2011 has seen Greenacres Women's Football Club (GWFC) secure another Grand Final berth and fell short to the ever resilient Eagles. As a club and playing group, we know as the competition expands, these oppor- tunities may diminish as new talent and enthusiasm for women’s football is uncovered and developed. Hence, as a club, we have in the past two seasons acknowledged the need to grow as a club in both the ad- ministrative and playing sphere. To be the second best club in the League as the final siren is blown to com- plete the last game of the season, can only be a tick in the successful box. Now as summer sports all kick off and people forget the season just passed, a review of the on-field season has been completed by the coach- ing staff and new strategies are already being formulated to ensure GWFC are again successful on the field in Season 2012. As a club, we see that on-field success is important, but it is evident that the GWFC has now started the jour- ney of administrative development. The South Australian Women’s Football League (SAWFL) introduced the “Club of the Year‟ and the GWFC was announced as the club to have been judged the winner of this award for 2011. This can be attributed to the hard work of the committee who work Behind the football scenes to ensure the logistic running of the football club progresses. We also acknowl- edge the volunteers who do not hold an official position on any committee, but show up week after week to support and contribute to the GWFC. Without these people around football, clubs such as ours would not survive. The GWFC is in a fortunate position with its relationship it has built up over previous years with the Green- acres Football Club (GFC).

  • MICK MCGUANE –AFL Premiership/Keynote/Teamwork
    MICK MCGUANE –AFL Premiership/Keynote/Teamwork A wonderful after dinner speaker with a quick wit, talking sport is in Mick McGuane's veins. Whether it's the AFL, cricket, tennis, soccer, boxing...or all three racing codes he has stories to tell that will resonate with just about any audience. A two-time winner of the Copeland trophy, an All-Australian and state representative and winner of the goal of the year in 1994; 155 game veteran Mick McGuane’s most memorable game was in the 1990 Grand Final that saw the team break a 32-year premiership drought. Regarded by Leigh Matthews and David Parkin as having one of the most astute brains in AFL football, he coached Burnie and Gisborne with great success, joined Richmond in a coaching capacity before being appointed assistant coach at the Saints in 2006, electing to leave when Grant Thomas was dumped as senior coach. He also turned around the fortunes of Keilor and Balwyn football clubs. No stranger to media, Mick has commentated with the Seven Network, and analysed footy in various print publications and on radio. Mick’s sporting knowledge extends far beyond football; he’s a sporting fanatic with a great interest in all sports, particularly racing and cricket. Currently heard on RSN Racing and Sport in the breakfast shift, he brings a relaxed easy style to any event. Whether it’s as a speaker, host, MC or interviewer, he enthralls and entertains his audiences with anecdotes and insights from his playing and coaching career and his broad knowledge of sports in general.

  • Indigenous AFL Players
    'Magicians', 'freaks' and 'marvels': how the media 'Others' Indigenous AFL players. Assessment Item 3: Research Project Tom Smith 10877177 Question How does the media 'Other' Indigenous AFL players? Abstract Although overt racism has been virtually eradicated from the AFL, the media's depiction of Indigenous players covertly reinforces negative racial stereotypes. A content analysis of the round eight game between Hawthorn and Fremantle on May 19 2012 reveals a demonstrable difference in the way Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal footballers are portrayed by television, radio and newspaper commentators. This match is typical of the broader regime of representation of Indigenous players, which emphasises natural ability, physical superiority, instinct and 'magic' rather than mental discipline or cognitive skills. These imagined values simultaneously idolise the Aboriginal body and infantilise the Aboriginal mind, with the overall effect of 'spectacularising' the Aboriginal AFL player. With several Indigenous identities recently criticising this 'common sense' stereotype, this article investigates how existing representational practices 'Other' Indigenous AFL players and entrench the dominant racial hegemony. Key terms AFL, Indigenous Australia, media, stereotypes, racism. Introduction Since the likes of Graham 'Polly' Farmer, Barry Cable and Maurice Rioli blazed the trail for Indigenous involvement in the Victorian Football League - now the Australian Football League (AFL) - in the 1960s and '70s, the relationship between Aboriginal players
