The pumpkins were entered in the primary schools’ competition and we won first, second and third prizes. Our two biggest pumpkins each weighed more than 60 kilograms, our biggest ever. When the pumpkins are returned to school we will harvest the seeds and keep them for our next planting later this year. In addition to the prizes won by our pumpkins, some of our Grade 3/4 students also won awards for art work done at school. These will be returned to school in the near future and placed on display in the Administration building. Congratulations to all involved. Ian Jones .

  • 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
    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.

Essendon Football Club President and former Federal Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner will chair the Governance Committee, with representatives from across the AFL industry, representing states and territories that have been impacted as well as people with community, legal, infrastructure, club and playing experience. KPMG have been engaged to audit the process. Members of the Governance Committee include: • Chair - Lindsay Tanner, Essendon President • Simone Wilkie AO, AFL Commissioner • Andrew Dillon, AFL General Counsel & GM Game Development • Tom Harley, CEO Sydney Swans • Paul Vandenbergh, Director Aboriginal programs, Port Adelaide Football Club • Phil Davis, AFLPA Vice President, GWS Giants player • Meg Downie, AFLPA board member, Melbourne Demons AFLW player AFL Chief Executive Officer Gillon McLachlan said the committee will ensure the football clubs and families in bushfire affected areas will receive the support of the AFL Community. “Given the support of our fans, corporate partners and broadcasters we have an opportunity to raise further significant funds add to the $1.5million already contributed by our clubs, players and the AFL into the Community Relief Fund, and the $1 million donated to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery fund.” Mr McLachlan said. “It is important that we have the right governance structure to ensure an effective and ethical process to provide grants to clubs in need in bushfire-affected areas. “Lindsay’s experience will ensure we have the best process in place, and I would like to thank him and all the members of the Governance Committee for their enthusiasm to play a part in getting local footy clubs in bushfire affected areas get back on their feet.

  • The Media's Impact on Play in the Australian Football League
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/pcssr-2018-0001 Managed Play: The Media’s Impact on Play in the Australian Football League Authors’ contribution: Samuel Keith Duncan A) conception and design of the study B) acquisition of data Holmesglen Institute, Australia, Victoria C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT No industry has influenced the transformation of the Australian Football League (AFL) into a professional, commercial business more than the media. Today, the AFL players are paid more than ever and are used as marketing tools to promote and sell the game, often to new fans in new markets of Australia – namely New South Wales and Queensland - who haven’t traditionally played Australian Football, preferring the rugby codes instead. But perhaps the biggest change in the AFL is that the play element is now used as function of business. Put simply, winning leads to more money. As such, the play element is now manipulated more than ever. The game has more coaches implementing more tactics, strategies, game plans and set plays than ever before. These changes can be linked back to the media’s influence on the game. This paper utilises the combined observations and theories of Johan Huizinga and Pierre Bourdieu to create a theoretical lens through which we can understand the media’s growing influence in sport and its impact on play’s transformation. The theory will then be expounded through an extensive analysis of the media’s influence in the AFL, particularly its play element. This analysis will be supported with insights and views from AFL fans, members, commentators and theorists.

  • 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.
