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 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.

Dave McCauley – This tall fullback was the pre eminent defender of the late seventies on the Coast after arriving as a CHF. Originally from Port Lincoln he fitted in beautifully at the Maroochydore Roos and was a great player with his steadiness under pressure and “Geoff Southby” like reading of the play.

Tony Norman – The former Mornington peninsula midfielder had a real impact on Coastal footy on his arrival in the 80’s with his coaching and footy brain as well as his playing ability.

Was on the committee at the Panthers for a number of years and served as president for a period of that time. Was one of the driving forces behind the resurrection of the club in the early nineties.

Been at the club since its inception and been on committee and was president for three years.

Organised the first QAFL exhibition game at Cooroy in 1970 and was president of the league in the formative years as well as pretty much secretary and treasurer.

Brian Trist – They broke the mould when they made this bloke. Brian has been a real champion at the Tiger Den in particular as the head trainer for 27 years. Has been the club patron for the last ten seasons and was made a life member in 1983. A devoted life to the Noosa Football Club. A mighty effort.

Peter Tuckwell – Was involved with footy on the coast for around 15 years and was arguably the best treasurer the League ever had after an earlier stint at Maroochydore and later Nambour on the committees there. A very good administrator for footy.

Col Upton – Big Col was ahead of his time as a running ruckman at 6’6”. Could also play back if needed. He coached Maroochydore to a flag in 78 on the way to around 275 games with the club, which included more premiership success along the way.

A magnificent commitment to the game over 33 years not only with the Roos but also as head trainer for the rep side and it didn’t matter who was down, friend or foe, Uppo would always help out.

He has been President, Treasurer, Barman, Groundsman (10 years) and the most well known sports trainer in the region also helping out the SuperRules teams and attended five national carnivals in that role. Neil has very conservatively and diligently worked out that he would have strapped 18,000 ankles using over 3600 rolls or 46 kilometres of tape. A true champion of our great game.

Mark Vagg - Probably one of the top three players on the coast in the 90’s and early 00’s this strong defender was rarely beaten. Started his career at Maroochydore after coming from Echuca before finishing it eight years later at the Noosa Tigers where he became a key player. This enormously respected competitor was a great captain, leader and clubman and won three best and fairests at both clubs for a total of six. In 1999 when the Roos were in the QAFL he won the Footy Record player of the year.

Helen Warren – The beauty and the brains of the Warren family. Helen has been a 25 plus year volunteer for the Gympie Cats specialising in the canteen where she was the convenor for many seasons. Is also a magnificent cook and certainly put that to good use at the McMullen complex. She also had a hand in running the many functions that the club has organised over the years.

A popular clubman, who after his 2000 retirement continued to play super rules.

Troy Whyatt – Troy has been a fantastic player for the Pomona Demons playing over 300 senior games for the club after first pulling the boots on in 1985. Originally from SA he was captain of the club and won the best and fairest. He is an honest, hard at it half back who earned the nicknames “Mr Damage” and “WMD” for his hardness at the nut!!

Steve Wilson – This quite achiever played over 275 games for Maroochydore from 1979 until 92 including 6 premierships after migrating to the region from Redan in the Ballarat League. Was the best wingman in the comp in the eighties and played many games for the Coast rep side. A beautifully balanced player who kept his feet providing great run with his long kicking to position a real feature. “Wilso” always polled well in best player awards.

Harry and Theda Woodward – This dynamic duo who have both since sadly passed on gave their life to the Maroochydore Roos for many years from 82 until 98 in a variety of roles including as secretary, great treasurers for the club and league and as president. Both life members were totally committed seven days a week to the club and loved by all there for their honesty and forthrightness. Summary

This indigenous game of ours owes a debt of thanks to the myriad of people who have made our game the enjoyable pastime that is on the Sunshine Coast

Everyone from the bootstudder to the president and everyone in between can be very proud of their support of this great game

Footy has many highs and lows and often the lows outweigh the highs especially as a player but it is the camaraderie, mateship and social connectedness that should never be underestimated in the health of the nation

It is nights like this that bring the footy family together to share memories and to catch up with old friends and adversaries and hopefully it will be the start of regular catch ups every three years or so to recognise and honour others by inducting them into our Hall of Fame

In conclusion footy extends a special thanks to everyone who has had an impact on the game on the Coast whether that be as a player, umpire, committee person, timekeeper, sports trainer, canteen worker, fundraiser, groundsman and line marker, BBQ cooker, paid employee, sponsor, mentor, barman, Auskick coordinator, cleaner, scoreboard attendant, pub raffle seller or anybody else who has volunteered their services

Please keep enjoying our local game on the coast.
