  • Reconciliation Action Plan
    RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN June 2018 - June 2020 OUR VISION AFL Victoria’s vision is one of a united Australia, free of institutional racism that values and recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Our sport acknowledges and respects our strong Aboriginal origins and we are deeply committed to further building our relationships with First Australians throughout Victoria and providing an environment that welcomes and provides opportunities for and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Victorian Kickstart jumper was redesigned from the previous jumper to more appropriately represent Victoria. The Big V is iconic on Victorian state jumpers, therefore the ‘Big V ’on the Kickstart jumper was important. Boomerangs have been included to represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures. Reaching from the AFL Victoria logo is a path going down to the meeting place and then another path up to the Nationals and the Flying Boomerangs. The Possum was identified as a Victorian animal, which is why the possum footprints were chosen to represent the path. At the bottom of the jumpers is a symbol representing a meeting place where all of the boys come together and unite as one and represent the Victorian Kickstart teams. We acknowledge Todd Garner for the jumper design. We also thank all photographers for providing the photos. AFL Victoria also acknowledge the RAP Committee for their time, commitment and contributions to this RAP. 2 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AFL Victoria is proud to launch its inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). We have a vision to make our game the most accessible in Victoria and this is another step forward to achieving this.

  • AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria Is Particularly Pleased to Again See
    AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria is particularly pleased to again see over half of the new talent selected in the NAB AFL Draft come from Victorian football. 36 Victorian players were selected in last night’s NAB AFL Draft, with 33 players recruited from the TAC Cup competition and three from the Peter Jackson VFL. Victorian community football and the talented player pathway produced 55% of new draftees while South Australia produced 21%, Western Australia 18%, Tasmania 5% and Queensland 1%. AFL Victoria General Manager Grant Williams believes the results reflect the strong talent development pathways in Victoria. “The NAB AFL Draft continues to highlight the variety of pathways in which talented players are being developed in Victoria, starting at a local community Club level and working their way up through the talented player pathway either via the TAC Cup or VFL competitions.” Victoria produced eight out of the first 10 draft selections, with Dandenong Southern Stingrays Lachie Whitfield becoming the eleventh number one pick from the TAC Cup competition in its 21 year history, and the fourth Dandenong top pick. Whitfield joined the likes of former Stingrays Jeff White (1994), Travis Johnstone (1997) and Tom Scully (2009) all of whom had their name read out first on AFL Draft night. “The TAC Cup competition continues to be the premier drafting ground for AFL footballers, with over 1,000 players having now been drafted over the 21 years of the competitions existence.” “Congratulations should go to each of AFL Victoria’s Talent Managers who manage quality programs in each of Victoria’s twelve regions that field teams in the TAC Cup competition.

Footscray Tech began in 1916 when Antarctic explorer Arch Hoadley had a vision of creating opportunities for young men in the western suburbs. Today that school is Victoria University. As an engineer himself he dreamed of developing a skilled workforce of highly educated young men. In short, Footscray Tech students were told to regard an education as the door of opportunity and to strive for the highest standards of personal performance regardless of their backgrounds. Victoria University and the Western Jets TAC Cup Club have embraced the same principles and have been in partnership for almost 20 years. Victoria University are now recognised as a major national sporting university and the Western Jets are developing young people in the TAC Cup so they can reach their full potential. Both organisations benefit significantly of this enduring partnership and in the words of Arch Hoadley are working extremely hard on this original principle ‘opportunity for all’.
