In my first year as Chairman of the SMJFL for 2015, it has been a privilege to work with our executive team & our 27 member club committees to deliver on our new motto, ‘It’s About the Kids’.

I strongly believe, that WE, that is the SMJFL & Member Clubs supported by their loyal gang of volunteers, have delivered on the ‘It’s About the Kids’ objective in 2015.

That’s an achievement WE can all be proud of.

There will be winners and runners up out of today’s games. One of the SMJFL’s stated values is ‘Respect & Tolerance’, each team and player deserves that. The leadership to deliver this value, starts at the top, Firstly, congratulations and thank you, to all those it must emanate from team officials and then work teams that worked hard at training, starting in the its way down to parents, spectators and players, hot and dry conditions of February and March and because we must strive to ensure, ‘It’s About the Kids’. extending through to cold and wet conditions of July and August. All that effort now culminates in today’s A special message to each player: I hope you, Grand Final games. Congratulations and good luck personally, take time out to remember today, as it is to each team in their 2015 Grand Final game. I unlikely that you’ll ever play a game of footy with the look forward to seeing & hearing of great contests exact same line up of team mates and officials in the between two worthy teams. future.
