Sunshine Coast Football Off Icial Programme Sunshine Coast Football Off icial Programme PRICE 10c Saturday 26 June 2010 Sponsors We would like to acknowledge our sponsors for this evening. Our sincere appreciation to the following supporters: Industrial Clothing HiVis Workwear Safety Boots 15% off Corporate Uniforms Any orders Clubwear Embroidery & Screen Printing Dirt Workwear Solutions Karen Koehler Ph: 07 5495 4300 Email: [email protected] A6 Transact2 S2G promo.indd 1 18/06/2010 11:23:31 AM Welcome Welcome to the Inaugural Sunshine Coast Football night celebrating forty years of Coastal footy. Footy in the region has been hard fought over the years with some wonderful rivalries and many classic matches, both at junior and senior level. There have been many great players and umpires, colourful characters, con- troversial finals, some big representative wins, great clubs and a plethora of fantastic club and league volunteers many of whom will be recognised tonight. The selectors don’t profess to have got the selection absolutely spot on. As with most selection processes in footy there will be debate over who may have missed out but if there is any glaring omissions once the dust has settled then I’m sure they will be included next time. Importantly, the people involved in the selection process are confident that the people inducted deserve to be there. The inductees will have their name engraved on an honour board to be erect- ed at the Multi Sports Complex at Fishermans Road and if there is ultimately to be a team from the Coast representing the region in the QAFL competition then we would like to think that the inductees will automatically become as- sociate life members of that club. We hope you enjoy the night. Shane Johnson AFL Queensland Message from AFLQ Chairman On behalf of AFL Queensland welcome to the Sunshine Coast Hall of Fame presentation dinner here at the magnificent Maroochy RSL club - a wonderful celebration of the achievements of the national code on the Sunshine Coast and a reunion for so many people that have been pivotal to the growth and development of the game in the region. Tonight will be the biggest formal gathering of the Sunshine Coast football family with around 400 people in attendance, some of whom have travelled as far as Broome in Western Australia and south from Port Lincoln. Tonight we will induct 130 players, coaches, umpires and volunteers all of whom have made significant contributions to the game at both junior and senior level on the Sunshine Coast spanning some 40 years. In addition an undisclosed number of individuals will be announced as “Legends of the Game.’ It promises to be a truly memorable night. Tonight is also a celebration of the game that we all love. It’s a celebration not only of the game on the Sunshine Coast but about the long and proud history of Australian Football in Queensland and to those that have helped us achieve some remarkable successes. On behalf of AFL Queensland I would like to thank all concerned with making tonight such a huge success and particularly to the Sunshine Coast Hall of Fame selection committee who had the daunting task of selecting our inductees and legends. To sponsors and VIP guests, players, supporters, club officials and families thank you for your support of tonight’s event and the passion you have for our great game. I trust you have an enjoyable and nostalgic night and I congratulate everyone involved with Australian football on the Sunshine Coast past, present and future. Darryl Bray AFL Queensland Selection Criteria and Selectors Selection Criteria People were considered for inclusion in the Hall of Fame who have given outstanding service and have made a wonderful overall contribution to Australian Football on the Sunshine Coast including playing, umpiring, coaching, volunteering, school teachers and media. The person’s individual record, ability, integrity, sportsmanship and character was considered.

On Saturday March 7th 1970 QAFL heavyweights Mayne and Morningside played at the Cooroy Showground in a promotional match using freshly cut saplings as goal posts. The rugby league people must have been worried because one of them had a light plane and he flew it over the ground during the game dropping flour bombs onto the arena! The ground had power lines across the ground which sagged and the footy would often hit them. The call “Play On”!!!!! 1970 Maroochydore 12.13.85 def Noosa 10.7.67 Maroochydore won only three of ten rosters matches but won the Grand Final played at Cooroy.

Key initiatives of the Year of Indigenous Tourism include: • $7 million Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund • Our Country Tourism Business Development Service • Advance Queensland One Business program, for Indigenous business innovators and entrepreneurs • Indigenous experience, marketing, festivals and events • The scoping of the potential to establish a peak Indigenous tourism body.

To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.

As part of the celebrations of this wonderful occasion the AFL is staging ‘Kick Around Australia Day’ and I hope footy fans throughout Queensland will join the party. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to come together through football, and to wear your team colours or club scarf and have a kick of the famous Sherrin. There will be a stack of celebrations right across the country, but please, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be part of it. Introduce friends, workmates and school friends to AFL and all that makes it the No.1 sport in Australia. Schools around the country have been busy making preparations for the day, with thousands of kids set to take part in football themed lessons, designed in line with the curriculum. Businesses and community organizations, too, are encouraged to get into the spirit and help recognize football’s 150th birthday, which is part of the Tom Wills Round, dedicated to one of the founding forefathers of our game. For further information on this and other 150th year celebrations, visit www.150years.com.au AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND COUNTRY SIDE Special congratulations to the Queensland Country side which won the division two title at last week’s Australian Country Championships in Shepparton, Victoria.

This elevation came after consecutive premierships in the Brisbane Australian Football League in 1998 and 1999. Since the Club‟s inception into the State League, the Bombers have evolved into a prominent football identity within both the Redland Shire and South-East Queensland. The ongoing development of local players competing at higher levels all across Australia highlights the talent of young and up- and-coming players within the local community. The Club now competes in the newly formed NEAFL competition, which was launched in 2011 and includes teams from the Queensland State League, the Northern Territory, the AFL NSW/ACT State League, as well as the four northern AFL sides – Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney Giants.

  • Afl Queensland
    PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP E-FOOTY RECORD ROUND 12 E-Footy RECORD 28th June 2008 Issue 12 Editorial with Marty King AFL QUEENSLAND: STRICT ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON RACIAL VILIFICATION It disappoints me to have to remind people that the AFL and AFL Queensland has a strict zero tolerance policy on racial vilifi cation. There have been a couple of unsavoury incidents lately, spread across the fi rst and second divisions of the State League competition, which are simply unacceptable. Under no circumstances will this sort of behavior be tolerated because there is no place for this sort of thing in our game, and AFL Queensland will do whatever it takes to ensure that the perpetrators are suitably reprimanded. This is a cornerstone of what State League football is all about. It is a family-oriented competition which should operate in an environment of respect and responsibility. AFLQ is no different to the AFL, which prides itself on setting behavioural standards that are benchmarks for the general society. It is why the AFL implements and takes very seriously things like the Code of Conduct, and general standards that relate to racial and religious vilifi cation and responsible consumption of alcohol. It is imperative that these values are upheld right across the competition, and so I appeal to all involved with AFL Queensland to do the right thing and to speak up if you are witnesses to inappropriate behavior. The overwhelming majority of people do the right thing all the time. They come to the football with their family or friends, they enjoy the contest and the atmosphere, they barrack for their team in good-natured fun, and they conduct themselves appropriately.
