WRFL ANNUAL REPORT 2012 3 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Bob Tregear

The 2012 football season was one of signifi cant achievements, despite the many challenges presented in a diffi cult social and economic environment. The value of a sound strategic planning and management process was vindicated by the achievement of virtually all of the targeted outcomes set out in the League’s 2010 three-year Strategic Plan. On the playing fi eld, outstanding fi nals series at both senior and junior levels; continued growth in junior team numbers; the introduction of Under 12 Girls and Youth Girls competitions; and further advances in umpiring standards and numbers were some of the stand-out results.

The Strategic Plan target of 300 umpires by July 2013 was achieved a full year ahead of schedule, with 307 active umpires on the books at the end of the 2012 season. In just three short years, umpire numbers have grown from a critically low base of 126 in March 2010, driven largely by a successful academy program overseen by Mark Westgarth and Terry O’Donnell.

While nearly 60% of our umpires are under the age of 18 years, umpiring standards have also shown marked improvement under the guidance of Umpires Bob Tregear and Michael Fitzgerald with the league’s annual donation to the EJ Whitten Foundation Manger Shane Carland. Shane took-on the role in diffi cult circumstances at the start of the 2010 football season and has overseen a renaissance in WRFL Optimum competition structures and a desire for more even competitions, umpiring.

While it was agreed by consensus that the cut-off age for the Under 18 competition should be reduced (by 6 months The challenge of capitalising on the achievements in umpiring and of further for the 2013 season and possibly a further 6 months commencing in 2014), it improving standards and professionalism will be in the hands of recently was concluded that the only meaningful improvement in competition structure appointed Director of Umpiring Mark Westgarth.

WRFL ANNUAL REPORT 2012 7 CLUB DEVELOPMENT Tim Shellcot

In Season 2012 the junior competition continued to evolve, with 24 clubs entering 186 teams across 22 divisions, with age groups ranging from Under- 9’s to Under-16’s. While anomalies occurred in the competiveness of some teams, the league continues to work with all clubs to ensure as many junior players as possible are playing at a level appropriate to their ability. Grading of teams is, and will always remain, a challenge given the differing levels of ability, size and development that occur within each age group. However the league continues to modify the team nomination and grading process, aiming to improve the on-fi eld evenness of games in all competitions. For the fi rst time in a number of years the average winning margin across the junior competition decreased, indicating that policies and procedures implemented by the Western Region Football League administration, clubs and the Juniors Board are taking effect. A further indicator of the junior competition’s improving evenness is that a signifi cant majority of our clubs who competed in juniors in 2012 had at least one team participate in the fi nals series, and of the fi fteen junior premierships on offer, eleven different clubs achieved the ultimate goal of a grand fi nal victory.

The junior fi nals series showcased the high quality of underage football in the west, and each fi nals venue experienced good crowds and exciting football. Our thanks go to the clubs who hosted junior fi nals (Old Westbourne, Altona Juniors, Sunshine Heights & North Sunshine), with each club’s excellent management of their venues ensuring the success of the junior fi nals series. Following the completion of the playing season the junior competition fi nished in style at the annual Junior Presentation Night at Wyndham Cultural Centre.

Congratulations go to the Under-13’s for successfully defending the to provide an arena in which each player receives challenges to their ability and

The league is keen to balance the benefi ts of providing development opportunities with the desire to win games, and modifi cations to the Under-14 & Under-15 programs will be made in 2013 with the goal of gaining better outcomes in both these areas.

The interleague program could not function without the time and effort of the coaching staff, in particular the Head Coach of each squad: Cam Atkins (Under-12), Lee Gilmore (Under-13), Tony Wright (Under14 - Division One), Colin Clohesy (Under-14 - Division Two), Gary Brennan (Under-15 - Division One), Vinnie Turcinovich (Under 15 - Division Two), & Daniel Xuereb (Under-16). Each coach also receives assistance from players’ parents and friends to perform key roles such as team manager and the WRFL thanks those people for their support of the junior interleague program. A number of WRFL clubs hosted interleague training and/or matches, and thanks go to North Sunshine, Parkside, Sunshine Heights & Western Jets football clubs for making their facilities and volunteers available to assist in the development of the WRFL’s best junior talent.

Following the conclusion of the 2012 playing season exciting developments have taken place in the City of Wyndham. The WRFL has a stated goal to increase its number of affi liate clubs in senior ranks, to allow formation of a third division of senior football. Signifi cant steps towards this goal have been taken with the formation of Manor Lakes Football Club and Sanctuary Lakes Football Club, and both clubs will enter senior and junior teams in their inaugural season in 2013. While the WRFL, AFL Victoria and Wyndham Council have had signifi cant input in creating both clubs I congratulate the members of the community who have shown the vision and drive to get involved, and who will now play crucial roles in ensuring the viability and sustainability of each The 2012 season saw the launch of the inaugural club. The formation of these clubs has also been a great learning tool for WRFL Western Region Football League’s Youth Girls competition administration, and the knowledge and experience gained will be invaluable as the league seeks to meet the demands for football driven by the rapidly competition prior to commencement of the 2012 season and on changes increasing population in the outer west. made to team placements following round four of the home and away competition, and the Board in now considering items of strategic importance to It is important to acknowledge that the issues our volunteers face in developing the competition in 2013 and beyond. and maintaining their clubs can be very diverse, with the large population growth in the outer western area of the league creating different needs to those Finally, thanks to WRFL staff Bob Tregear, David Newton, Lyn McLeod, Cam clubs in the inner west.

10 WRFL ANNUAL REPORT 2012 TRIBUNAL Dale Sayner

This season saw a fourteen percent reduction in cases at the Tribunal, with 68 hearings (down from 77 last season). While this is a positive for the league, there is still room for improvement, particularly in regards to offences by club offi cials.

Club offi cials are matchday leaders within the league, and therefore should uphold the core values of both their club and the Western Region Football League. Unfortunately this season there was an increase in reportable incidents involving club offi cials, with eight cases being heard. In all eight cases the offi cials were handed a guilty verdict, with a maximum penalty of fi ve years. The Tribunal deems these offences as extremely serious especially given these individuals should be the ones setting the example at their clubs, and subsequently the penalties handed out by the Tribunal this season refl ects the severity of these incidents.

On a positive note there were only eight umpire related charges in 2012, which although still unacceptable, is a reduction from previous years. The total umpire related charges equated to twenty-four percent of all Tribunal hearings this Former AFL-player Jason Cloke takes a fl ying mark for Spotswood against Sunshine Heights season.
