What the review will attempt to do is youth football in the region and in particular, the apply detailed analysis and data to the discussion junior to senior pathway. For those unaware of this and bring consensus within all stakeholders to the announcement, here’s a snapshot: way forward. AFL South East would like to inform all stakeholders The review follows a time of significant focus on within the South East Region of the formation of youth football in the region over the off-season. Both a Working Party to review the structure of football the Casey Cardinia FNL and the South East Juniors are through the 16-20 year old age groups.

The sustainability of clubs, the dynamics of competitions and the positive impact on local communities both economically and socially are jeopardised when playing numbers diminish. Jeremy Bourke What we have in our region is a situation where some Region General Manager clubs are struggling through demographic change and others are flourishing through strong junior connections and localised growth. The question is how do we harness that growth and provide a framework for the flourishing clubs to continue to flourish however at the same time support struggling clubs and build their sustainability?

New coach Brendan Dunne is a wonderful leader and communicator and his game By Toe Punt – MP News Group plan is unquestionable. He is organized, structured Today, the real season begins for two clubs after they and well planned. His recruits are classy and there had the bye last weekend. Rosebud kicks off its season are the likes of Jason Kestle and Colin McVeigh who against the red hot Hastings, Rye and Dromana run are stars of the competition. One wonders how out against each other in their first clash for the 2014 Rosebud will go without arguably the best player in season and Sorrento tests itself against Red Hill. the competition last season in Matty Payne. He is a What we learnt from the three matches last weekend big loss. In saying that, coach Nick Jewell is also very is that there have been some real improvers. To what astute, respectful of the opposition and incredibly extent will be determined today. competitive. No question at all that he would have RED HILL appears to have made a real jump after been watching the Blues last weekend. The Buds disposing of Somerville with ease last weekend. and the Blues will be a tantalizing contest. The ultimate test comes today though against the best team over the past decade, SORRENTO. The Sharks will go in a little underdone, considering the likes of Guy Stringer and Scott Cameron will not be there, whilst Mitch Nibbs has retired. The’s also a question mark over the fitness of Ben Schwarze. Troy Schwarze is back at the helm after a couple of years just playing. Surely he ventured to Somerville last weekend to have a look at the Hillmen. Red Hill won all three practice matches, including one against Bonbeach, and smashed the Eagles last weekend. With a lack of height, the Hillmen rely very heavily on leg speed and quick ball movement. The Sharks won’t be allowed any time to ‘settle into’ the season. They’ll need to be up and about early because the young Hillmen will be excited about testing themselves against the league’s best. HASTINGS gets the chance to play a team that went within a kick of a grand final last season, ROSEBUD. The Blues were superb last weekend and there was a lot of talk about them in the off season. I stated in the season preview that the Blues recruits far outweighed the players who left. This was evident through their

The talk was that there was a for a long season and things won’t get any easier definite premiership hangover. There are also some for them today. The Panthers need to really make a statement today, play four quarters of football and players who are overseas and not due to come back not be satisfied with any less than a 12 goals win. until we’re well into the season.

It was great to see Shaun Brand up and ’cocker’ Duane Annable knows the game extremely about last week after a couple of shocking years with well. ’Annas’ is proud and passionate about his injury. Also good to see former coach Duncan Proud Magpies and he demands respect in everything he in some good form. Pearcedale will have a distinct does. The recruits he has been able to add over advantage in the ruck with Benny Mitchell in great the summer may also take them to the next step. I early form while a lot will hinge on Pat Heijden believe that Sorrento, Rosebud and Hastings are the kicking a few goals at full forward. Jeremy Waixel is only teams assured of a finals berth, even at this early Heijden’s likely opponent. stage in the season. That means there are two spots up for grabs and there’s plenty of teams vying for those spots - the Pies are one of them. Today they play SOMERVILLE, who recruited very well. Unfortunately, at this stage, it isn’t showing on the scoreboard. In their past two matches, the Eagles scored just three goals against Langwarrin in a practice match and were beaten by 100 points and booted just seven goals against Red Hill last week and were pumped by 78 points. Justin Farrelly and Rohan Hogenbirk are massive outs for the Eagles. they will be 0 and 2 after today’s match.

It was a sensational performance from the 1sts who had winners right across the park to kick our season off in style. There’s a good balance of youth and experience, talls and smalls running around and if the boys can stay injury-free it can be a successful season. The Unders were competitive for three quarters but a lack of a pre- season for many of the boys meant they were unable to run it out. The less said about the ressies the better really.

It turned into a nightmare event when the charged the game but tight defensive work by the Falcons up and full of running Geelong Falcons flexed and pitiable delivery into the forward line and their muscle in the premiership quarter to hand the undisciplined play allowed the Falcons to take the Stingrays a very disappointing 27 point defeat. game by 27 point.

Strong work across the half back line by Mitch White, Sam Geurts and Dan Moloney set up numerous counter attack scoring options for the Stingrays, but penetrating deep inside 50 was again and issue with a return of 1 goal and 1 point for the quarter. The intensity had lifted and the Stingrays seemed to drop off from the challenge. Fitness seemed to be leaning towards the Falcons as the quarter ended with the margin at 22 points in favour of the falcons. It was a chance for the Stingrays to reset and challenge with the aid of a slight breeze in the last. The final term was a chance for the Stingrays redeem themselves with lack of effort and hard work, but as what happened in the three two quarters prior accuracy was an issue when kicking for goal. Jack Lonie finally managed to send one straight through the middle after receiving a free kick for high contact. Hard running and good inside work from the entire midfield group saw another goal to Lonie and it looked like the Stingrays might pick it up and run away with it. The Falcons were able to steady with another major, but a quick reply after a magnificent pack mark by Aaron Wilson saw the margin still in reach. Three opportunities presented themselves to the Stingrays to close out

Plan ahead, on and off the field

If you’re going to have a few drinks, plan ahead and arrange a ride with a designated driver – someone who’s not drinking or who’s responsibly sticking to light. Good sports don’t let their mates drink and drive.
