  • Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.

    JUSTIN LEPPITSCH Talent Profile © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com Originally from the Dandenong Stingrays, Leppitsch made his debut in 1993 for the Bears as a 17-year old. NATIONALITY CAPABILITIES Australian Guest Panellist Ambassador DATE OF BIRTH Social Media 10/1/75 PR Campaign Appearances TEAMS INTERESTS Richmond Football Club Brisbane Lions Football Club Health & Nutrition Lifestyle Wellbeing Leadership Family Business © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com BIO His breakout season was in 1999 under new coach Leigh Matthews, when he won the Brisbane Best and Fairest award, was selected as All- Australian for the first time and represented Australia in International Rules. Under Matthews, Leppitsch became a key component of the Lions spine, playing centre half back in the club’s three premiership sides from 2001 to 2003 and earned All-Australian honours in the club’s second and third flags. Late in his career, Leppitsch battled a chronic hamstring-related back injury which inevitably ended his career. Coinciding with his retirement from the AFL at the end of 2006, Leppitsch moved in to coaching and accepted a role as an Assistant with the Lions. Leppitsch joined Richmond’s coaching ranks at the end of 2009 and was a key factor in the Tigers first Finals appearance for 12 years in 2013. Season 2014 saw Leppitsch return to where it all began, taking the reins as Senior Coach of the young and exciting Brisbane Lions. His first season in charge was highlighted by the club winning six of its final 12 games, laying the foundations for a promising future ahead.

  • Promoting Women and Girls in Sport Partnership Agreement Outcomes
    Promoting Women and Girls In Sport Darebin Women’s Sports Club Inc. known as Darebin Falcons 2018-2020 Funding Partnership with Darebin Council – Status Report REPORT DATE PREPARED BY COUNCIL STAFF LIAISON Date 27 November 2019 Club Contact/s Adam Feiner, Felicity Leahy PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVES - SUMMARY Darebin Falcons have had another strong year, growing in playing membership (now at over 750 girls and women), accruing a number of achievements and continuing to empower girls and women on and off the field. Our Club membership and the quality of our core programs are our reason for being and gives us the authenticity to have voice across the range of female sports participation and leadership programs. It is really important that we remain a leader and innovator on field to enable us to continue our broader advocacy for gender equity both on and off the field. Key achievements in 2019 included expansion of the Auskick and Mini Roos programs; introducing two new soccer teams and an inaugural AFL Masters team; increasing cricket from 1 to 2 junior teams; and Falcon, Lauren Pearce, winning the VFLW Best and Fairest award (see link at end to News story). We increased participation options beyond the playing group through such initiatives as the soccer mums program; Falcons Academy school holidays programs and the community come and try day. Off field, our inclusion and advocacy activities included Pride matches in both cricket and footy, a NAIDOC celebration round, participation in a number of Council events and advocacy with our leagues for gender equity in sport. With the introduction of our Masters team, we proudly now provide a full Australian Rules pathway for girls and women from Auskick to Masters.

  • Marking 50 Years 1954-2004 General Webnotes 2004: No 19 (July 1)
    Old Geelong Football Club: marking 50 Years 1954-2004 General WebNotes 2004: No 19 (July 1) www.oldgeelong.com.au Last Saturday saw both the Firsts and Reserves score solid wins, and the Club 18 equalled the opposition for three of the four quarters: (unfortunately, in the one we did not, we were outscored 9 goals to 2). FIRSTS: OLD GEELONG 5.3 7.6 12.10 17.12 (114) defeated SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY 1.1 3.3 3.5 6.5 (41). Report from Matt Edmo nds: “Saturday saw us play for the second consecutive week down at Como Park. While the weather wasn’t quite as bleak as it was the week before there was still a significant breeze to contend with. The opposition also needed to be treated with respect as they pushed us all the way in Round 1. Swinburne has a very physical game style and we needed to make sure we were equally as hard at the football as them. It was obvious from the start that our boys were ready to do just that as we played a hard, unrelenting brand of football. This, combined with our superior skills and running, enabled us to post a crushing 73-point victory in a very polished display of football. Early in the game, Nick Betts quickly dispelled any thoughts that a month off from footy had taken the edge off his game. His elusiveness and goal-sense were as good as ever and he rammed home the first two goals of the match and finished with three for the day.

This series was produced for the Community Radio Network and is made possible by the Community Broadcasting Foundation. Her Game was produced by Bethany Atkinson-Quinton at Triple R. #1 Leah Avene Age: 30 Position: Megahertz Player in the Community Cup (VIC) “The principal of the girls school found out that I was playing football, and he published a picture of me in my Megahertz top telling the whole school that I was playing football and he thought that it was really important that, especially the girls at the school knew, that that was something, that someone, a female that they knew really well, was doing, because you need those visible people, you need those examples, so kids know what’s available to them and if they don’t see it, they can’t aspire to be like that, as far as I know, I’m the only mum at school that played football.” #2 Tayla Harris Age: 18 Position: Melbourne Football Club player (VIC), Zilmare Eagles football player (QLD) “Me and Daisy were the first female footballers to go to the Brownlow as footballers so that was good and I thought it was quite important to get it right….It’s hard to watch the guys get drafted and start their lives and have training all day and then go to
