4 Macleod Junior Football Club 2018 Annual Report PRESIDENT’S REPORT

To all Players past & present, Families, Members & Life Members

Following a strong 2017 where we saw good growth across the club, the 2018 season again exceeded our expectation, and was a great way to celebrate our 50th Anniversary.

Our player numbers again increased, with a total of 235 players registered with the club this year. We fielded a total of 12 teams (U8 x 3, U9, U10 x 2, U10 Girls, U11, U12, U13, U15, and Colts), with 3 teams playing finals. Congratulations to the under 11, under 12, and Colts teams for all playing finals this year. With no teams playing finals in 2017, it was pleasing to see our on- field success building.

After years of planning and working towards fielding girl’s teams, we finally managed to bring together an all-girls team at Macleod JFC. Thanks to Mark Medley for working to bring the team together, and for being the inaugural coach. This now gives us a platform to build on for future years, with plans to add at least a second team in 2019.

This year also saw the return of Sunday matches at Winsor Reserve, thanks to the increase in player numbers requiring us to expand beyond Macleod Park. This was wonderful to see given the historical significance of the ground to MJFC.

We made the decision at the start of the year not to run a canteen at Winsor on Sundays due to the added workload and small number of games to be played at the venue. However, we thank all those who helped keep the ground in good shape for matches and training, and to all who helped ensure game day ran smoothly.

Winsor Reserve also saw an increased use for training during 2018. We recognise the facilities at Winsor are not up to the same standard as Macleod Park, however it is important that teams continue to support the ground and it’s use - particularly for week night training. We will continue this strategy through 2019, and hope all teams appreciate the importance of utilising these facilities.

The off-field highlight of the year was without doubt the celebration of our 50th Anniversary. Special thanks to the sub-committee of Tom Barca, Mark Medley, Dannielle Abolencia, Anita Anderson, and Prue Waters who worked for 6 months to put together our 50th Anniversary Gala Ball. This was attended by over 240 people, including members of the original founding committee from 1968.

As well as the presentation of two “Team of the Decade” teams, we also inducted out first 3 “Hall of Fame” members, to recognise outstanding achievement. Each inductee was nominated by the committee based on a set of defined criteria, and voted in at a full committee meeting. The 2018 inductees were:

- Don Crowe (club founder and under 12 coach for 20 years) - Jamie Boland (player, coach and volunteer with 45 years of club involvement) - Tom Barca (Coach, Auskick coordinator, and committee member with over 20 years of service to the club)

In just my second year as president, it was an honour to present each with their Hall of Fame award, and learn more about the rich history of our club.

5 Macleod Junior Football Club 2018 Annual Report We also marked our 50th Anniversary with the Colts team wearing a specially designed “heritage” jumper for the season, to reflect our older style playing jumpers. These were well received by the team, with many players choosing to also buy the jumper at seasons end.

The focus of the committee this year was to again ensure we provide a great club for boys and girls to learn and develop football skills in a fun, family friendly environment. It was also pleasing to see a number of players receive recognition outside the club for their football efforts, notably Will Halton and Anthony Bolton being selected in the YJFL Under 13 rep team, and Evan Tsitsis, James Lucente, Kobe Brandt () and Curtis Brown (Calder Cannons) all playing TAC Cup football in 2018.

Our 2018 Thanks Night was held in October, where it was again an honor to have John and Norma Beever attend to present the 2018 Beever Family award. This year, it was a true family award, with Carl, Victoria, Cooper, and Riley Thompson winning the award following years of dedicated service to the club.

Macleod JFC also relies on the support of local businesses to operate and we wish to thank the following sponsors for their support in 2018:

- Miles Real Estate - Bendigo Bank - Viewbank Early Childhood Center - General Chicken Co - Cannon Toyota - The Truss People - Macleod Cellars - Ivanhoe Copy Center - No Bull Car Sales - Bean Around Espresso - Rosanna Heating & Cooling - Surefit - Modern Truck & Trailer Repairs - Carbone’s Place - Kingsbury Foodworks

We saw a new team running the canteen this season, with Alison Andrew and Nada Manoski (and their respective families!) take over the operation of the canteen. Being a major source of revenue for the club, this is a key role, and we thank them for their efforts.

I thank all who contributed to our 50th Year, particularly the committee, coaches, team managers, and volunteers who gave so much time throughout the season.

Most importantly, I thank the players. It is for these young boys and girls that we all put in the hours of work, and I encourage all parents and carers to get involved in some way to make sure we remain strong and vibrant well into the future. As always, we have a number of top age players leaving the club in 2018, and I wish them all the best in their future endeavors and trust they leave with fond memories of their time at Macleod JFC.

This was a wonderful year all round, and I’m already looking forward to a great 2019!

Go Eagles!

Paul Starmans MJFC President

6 Macleod Junior Football Club 2018 Annual Report VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Vice President and Football Department Report

2018 was another successful season and a Big Thankyou to all those who generously and selflessly volunteered their time and effort.

The main emphasis in Season 2018 has again been Player Development, Participation and Enjoyment. Many initiatives were designed to further develop skills, nurture good sportsmanship and increase enjoyment. This resulted in 3 Teams making finals which wqs pleasing. 2019 looks to be an even more positive year with a lot of work and planning put into Football Operations. The Club is looking to expand the Football Department to include Girls and Boys Co-ordinators, a Senior Club Co-ordinator as well as more roles involving people with in-depth knowledge and skills regarding Football Development and strategies. Please volunteer to become involved if you believe you can contribute to our growing success. A simple email or phone call to Myself or Paul Starmans, our President is all it takes.

Our Auskick program again had record participation levels thanks to the dedication and efforts of Tom Barca and Paul Skaife. There ongoing efforts and commitment resulted in the club fielding 3 Under 8 Teams in 2018, with our Under 8 numbers being the highest in the YJFL for clubs within our area. In addition, we were able to field our first Girls team, a great achievement after much planning and effort. It was so pleasing to see our Girls team go from strength to strength and end the year with record numbers. It’s even more exciting that the Season 2019 will most likely see Girls add 1 to 2 more age groups. In total, the Club fielded 12 Teams in season 2018

The strong bond with the Macleod Senior Football Club was further enhanced with significant contributions to our football development and programs. This relationship will only grow stronger in 2019 with the Macleod Senior Coach becoming even more directly involved in our Football programs and Development, especially in the older age groups. On behalf of the Junior Club, I would sincerely like to thank and acknowledge the support and contribution of our Senior club including the President Steve Doherty and all the Coaching Staff

The club again invested heavily into upgrading equipment and merchandise in season 2018, with every team receiving new footballs as well as ensuring sufficient resources were available to every team.

Coaches meetings were held during the season where alot of constructive communication and interaction occurred. The Senior Club again invited our Coaches to their Thursday night Game analysis and reviews. For those of us that attended, we gained a much deeper understanding and insight into game day planning and strategies etc.

In concluding, I would like to sincerely thank each and every family for contributing to a great Season 2018.

Domenic DiCesare

Vice President & Head of Football

7 Macleod Junior Football Club 2018 Annual Report SECRETARY’S REPORT

Planning for 2018 started soon after the 2017 AGM and off-season events such as the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle fund raiser and liquor licensing program kept the committee and other volunteers busy. Following a successful registration day and recruitment drive, MJFC fielded 12 teams in the Yarra Junior Football League (YJFL) including our first girls team and an impressive 3 Under 8 teams.

The online compliance system named BlueQ was renamed to Everproof. YJFL stipulate the mandatory usage of this tool to allow them full visibility of every club’s accreditation levels. Roles with accreditation requirements included: Coach, Assistant Coach, Trainer Up to Under 12, Trainer Under 13 & up, President, Vice President, Secretary, Team Manager, Runner and Canteen Supervisor. This requires that over 50 volunteers undertaking these roles have Everproof accounts and their accreditations, such as Working with Children Check, First Aid, CPR, Coaching and Code of Conduct, saved within the system. I am pleased to report, with assistance from all volunteers concerned, that MJFC achieved an outstanding result of 95% organisational compliance in 2018.

An unfortunate consequence of playing a contact sport is that sometimes players suffer injuries with the potential for significant medical costs. The committee once again took the decision to take out Platinum level insurance above the normal YJFL basic cover allowing 90% of all non- Medicare costs reimbursed up to a max of $7,500.

One of the more difficult parent roles to fill within a team is that of Trainer. The main challenges include the requirement for a current first aid training certificate, current CPR accreditation (renewable annually) and the responsibility that comes with performing the role. Following the previous years' experience, we were pleased that we were able to get all trainers in need of certification onto courses before the season started which the club continues to fund.

The committee continued to work well with the Banyule City Council. MJFC had exclusive pavilion and ground use at Macleod Park and Winsor Reserve across the 2018 season. Following the car park asphalt sealing project in 2017 and partial fence replacement, the entire ground was refenced this year which is looking great. Maintenance activities at both pavilions will become a focus in 2019.

This year’s committee was made up of a number of new faces which resulted in new ideas and renewed enthusiasm. Our committee was passionate and committed to the club; this was often demonstrated and evident in all the hard work that went into the seasons organizing of events, game day support roles and all the hard work that went on behind the scenes. The clubs sign up day in February and our fantastic Presentation day in September, and three weeks of hosting finals reflected on how dedicated the committee and its members were in making these days possible. This being our 50th year anniversary, a formal ball was held and the organsing subcommittee did an amazing job as the event exceeded everyone's expectations.

Taking an extended 6 week break for overseas travel mid football season, I would like to thank assistant Secretary Rino Corelli for stepping in undertaking all secretary duties. Additional thanks to any retiring committee members and I welcome all next year’s committee members as planning begins for a huge 2019 season. To all our wonderful: players, parents, volunteer’s and sponsors, a big thank you for being part of the MACLEOD JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB family.

TREASURER’S REPORT

It is with pleasure that I can deliver another positive Treasurer’s report. With the hard work of our Committee and volunteers we have seen further growth within the club in both player numbers and finances from the previous year.

Once again the Auskick program was very successful and we are reaping the rewards of such a strong program with continued increases in player numbers at the Under 8 age group. Our total club player group increased by 19%, from 193 last season to a total of 230 registered players this season. Of this cohort we still have approximately 5% still owing some or all of their registration fee. They will be followed up until payment received.

As you would expect with a growth in numbers at the club, both revenue and expenses increased. Whilst we managed to make financial gains this season, this could be increased next season with the addition of more social fundraisers and an increase in club sponsors. We ran less events than usual this season due to a focus on the Gala 50th Anniversary Ball. The club was hoping to be able to break even on this event and we ended up making a small profit of $1881.18 which was a fantastic result.

Club sponsorship was down from the previous season. There are several factors likely 2 contributing to this. One is that our major sponsor, Bendigo Bank, cut their sponsorship by 3 as they didn’t feel they were getting enough customers from our club. The committee also did not have enough volunteers to adequately take care of all desired tasks. The committee would like to appoint someone with the sole responsibility of attracting sponsors and grants for the club and will seek a volunteer for this role in future years. With many roles to fill to run and grow our club we need more volunteers.

As we hope for the continued success and growth of our female football teams, grants and funding from Council, Government and external stakeholders are desperately needed to afford upgrading our facilities to provide adequate changerooms to facilitate both male and female football teams.

The club’s financial position remains positively poised for the future. As at 30 September, 2018 the transaction accounts held a balance of $64,977.53 with very little outstanding debt. With continued financial growth we should be strongly placed to afford to reinvest in the club via personnel and infrastructure to continue to make Macleod Junior Football Club a strong and viable family club into the future.

AUSKICK REPORT

2018 has been another successful year! After reaching over 150 participants last year, we managed to add to that number again this year. More importantly, the kids are learning and developing at the same time as having heaps of fun!

Our numbers are starting to come through our under-age teams and have given our club a great platform to build on, in the number of teams we now have. This augers well for the future of Macleod JFC, which in turn will trickle through to our Senior club.

The Auskickers really enjoyed learning new skills and using them in games. With such a high number, it was great to have a lot of helpers, especially Paul and Rachel, who joined us this year as our third in charge. Great to have a woman on board! Also, with so many girls now at Auskick, looks like we’ll have another girls team next year, which means we will have two girls sides at the club!!

If we can maintain our numbers and level of commitment to the kids, and I’m sure we will, the clubs future looks great going forward.

Congratulations to everyone involved and for unending help I receive, can’t thank you all enough. Bring on 2019

It all started when a little girl by the name of Celena King wrote a UNDER 10 Girls Awards letter to our club requesting for an all-girls team. The club decided to Most Improved try and make her request a reality. Sunny Pereira Heeva Mashhadi We started off with 4 players at our first training session and a couple of weeks later we still only had 4 girls. Then overnight things started to Amity Mclauchlan change for the better. For the next few weeks every training session Caitlin Bowler we had new girls turn up and within a few more weeks, we had Most Consistent enough girls to start the season (15 girls were required). By season end we had 19 players! Felicity Bowler Ellie Mcvay Welcome to our inaugural U10’s ALL GIRLS TEAM in our 50th season this Zoe Merory year. What a great achievement by all involved. Rumaisa Mirza Seventeen girls out of our nineteen had never played footy before. Thereby my expectation for the season was to see each player Coach’s Award develop their skills, learn the game of Aussie Rules and more Celena King importantly have fun. I believe we achieved all of these goals. Most Courageous Our team won 8 out of 14 home & away games including a draw which was a terrific effort. The players development throughout the Erin Smith season exceeded even my expectation. This was reinforced by Terri Rainey oppositions coaches who mentioned how much “the girls had Most Determined improved since they had played them Earlier in the season and how Ashia Toumbourou well they were playing as a team”

Mary-Jane Pereira This could not had been achieved without the support from our Mackenzie Hawkins committee being led by our president Paul Starmans, the support of Rising Star Award our parents who brought the girls to training and very importantly helping with match day roles. A special thank you to our team Audrey Silfverberg manager Teresa King. Imogen Maloney Pippa Medley But to our most important people, to all our 19 girls who played this Leading Goal Kicker season, thank you for being a great bunch of girls to coach. The team was very varied, with many of the girls coming from different Sienna Brown schools and ranging from 7-11 and seeing them bond together, and Best Team Player help each other, was really pleasing. They played as a team and Adele Ryan (Medal) more importantly they left with new friendships (this also includes our parents). This is a major milestone in our club’s history and has set the tone for many more “all girl” teams at the Macleod Junior Football Club.
