In footy’s 150th year, we pay tribute to the clubs and leagues that are the heartbeat of country Football league EAST POINT Founded: 2001 (merger between East Ballarat and Golden Point) Nickname: Kangaroos (formerly Bulldogs and Rice Eaters, respectively) Premierships: 1910, 1914, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1939, 1947, 1948, 1953, 1966, 1967, 1980, 1981, 1987 (Golden Point); 1949, 1950, 1964, 1989, 1990 (East Ballarat) VFL/AFL players (include): East Point – James FrawleyEast Point (Melbourne); Golden Point – Robert Corbett (Melbourne), Jack Collins (Geelong), Percy Beams (Melbourne), Bob Davis (Geelong), Alan Martin (Footscray), Con Britt (Collingwood), Geoff Cunningham (St Kilda); East Ballarat – Graham Donaldson (Carlton), Tom Simpson (Richmond), (St Kilda) Short history The Roos were born of a merger between storied local clubs East Ballarat and Golden Point. Now in its eighth season, the amalgamated club has made steady progress with three footy teams and two junior football clubs affiliated. Great eras The joint venture struggled for wins initially, but has improved markedly in the past three years. In 2005 the Kangaroos missed the finals on percentage, but in 2006 went on to top the home-and-away ladder only to lose the grand final. In 2007 the club again won the minor premiership but lost both finals and bowed out of the premiership race. The reserves won the flag as undefeated champions last year, while the under-18.5 side won its second flag in as many seasons. Club legends The original clubs both have a who’s who of Ballarat footy, but brothers Ben and Dan Jordan are considered legends of the new club given their services to the seniors. Both won Henderson medals as the Ballarat league’s best-and-fairest. Dan has also kicked more than 100 goals in his two seasons, claiming the Medal in the process. Ben has won the club B&F in 2005 and 2007 while Dan won the honour in ’06. Dan is the assistant coach of the club, appointed at the start of this season.
