CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME 2017

This year promises to be an important and historic year for the League. On the back of two years of solid growth and with the AFL Women’s Graham Halbish competition being such EFL Chairman a success, participation in all levels of female footy is booming. In the men’s competition, the introduction of the total player payment rules across the state to complement the 2016 introduction of player points is an exciting initiative. As I reflect on my time as Chairman, it’s good to look back on where we’ve come from and what the future holds. In 2008 there was 416 football teams across senior and junior football competitions. Ten years on and how the profile of the League and our clubs has changed, all for the positive. In senior and junior football, we’ll have a likely 460 teams. Girls football has grown significantly over the last three years and in 2017 we’ll have 70 EFLbased clubs competiting in the Eastern Region Girls Competition. The competition as a whole will grow from 37 teams to nearly 90. We’re excited by the launch of the senior Eastern Region Women’s Competition which in its inaugural year will have eight teams, with the foundation for future sustainable growth coming from the growing girls’ competition.

Netball continues to grow and with 70 teams this year has become a significant and valuable part of our clubs and competition, with a senior netball interleague team taking the court for the first time under the guidance of Netball Australia hall of fame member Shelley O’Donnell. In total, 2017 will see around 540 football teams and 70 netball teams competing, or a nearly 40% increase in participation from 2008. But we know we must not be complacent in all areas of our business. A key responsibility of the board is to ensure that the long-term welfare of our clubs is at the forefront of our decision making and that continuous improvement of the league is considered where appropriate. Over the last 12 months we’ve started a conversation around a potential competition restructure. With 44 clubs, the questions is: “What is the best structure to create the best possible environment for the sustainability of our clubs?” From a League perspective, it’s of little difference if we have four or five divisions. Where the benefits may be achieved is at club level, where five divisions would allow for more teams playing finals, grand finals and winning premierships, and all the positive benefits that come from this. It would create highly competitive competitions with likely “live” games later in year maintaining interests for players and supporters. And create more promotion and relegation allowing more teams to find their best level and when promoted, do so into an environment where they are likely to be competitive immediately. We’ve started some in depth research analysing the possible impact of change and looking at where similar changes have occurred elsewhere. If this research suggests improvement may be likely then we’ll continue to investigate more thoroughly. In the 55 years since the competitions inception in 1962, clubs have won on average 4.1 premierships in this time, or a premiership every 13.5 years. If we can create an environment that gives 55 more clubs the chance to experience premiership glory in the next 55 years, then it’s worth considering.

Welcome everyone to the 2017 EFL season. After a long pre-season, it’s great to have the footy and netball back.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN from page 1 Other initiatives across both junior and senior football are also under review and consideration to ensure we have the best possible environment for our players to play and develop their game in.

Our relationships with beyondblue and Sports Chaplains Australia remains critical in fostering pastoral care in clubs, highlighted by tragedies felt by some of our clubs since the end of last season. Club education sessions continue to be run in clubs through Sport and Life Training. As female participation in clubs grows, so must our club’s ability to ensure they are part of an inclusive and welcoming environment. We are working with Eastern Health on an education initiative to help clubs better understand managing increasing female participation in their clubs. Our partnerships with the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, Australian Drug Foundation and the Good Sports Program continues to be of great benefit to the league and our clubs. We thank all of our valued sponsors for the ongoing commitment and who without we could not operate or offer the level of services we do to our clubs.

In the last two years, we’ve increased the League’s investment in game development. Working with AFL Victoria, the primary focus of this is in targeting activities to help drive participation in schools, Auskick and junior footy. A key focus of development managers Sean Buncle and Matthew Young this year is breaking down the EFL into 44 individual development regions including schools, Auskick, junior and senior footy clubs, analysing participation trends in these areas, and ensuring we are doing as much as we can to drive participation and engagement. We’ll have record numbers at under-8s, under-9s and under-10s again this year, with nearly 50% growth in under-8 team numbers.

I’d like to thank Bendigo Community Banks from across the region, who as our naming rights sponsor, and who also individually sponsor many of our clubs, contribute significantly to community sport in Melbourne’s east. The fantastic support has also continued from other major sponsors in Yarra Valley Water, BJS Insurance Brokers, Channel Nine, Connect East, SEN1116 and Trojan Tools. We have a significant number of other support sponsors and suppliers listed at the back of the record. We could not exist without your support and say a sincere thank you for your continued involvement in the League. It’s been an off-season of change at EFL House.

It’s an investment we believe is critical for club sustainability and in continuing to grow and develop Australian football in Melbourne’s east.

We welcome Matthew Young in Game Development, Dyson Baker moves to Junior Football, Daniel Cencic has come on board as the new Media Manager and Troy Swainston starts as General Manager of Football & Game Development shortly. While change can cause some disruption, it also brings new energy, enthusiasm and ideas and we look forward to the new look administration continuing to improve the competition in all aspects.

Our commitment to helping clubs create the best environment off field will continue this year.

Best of luck to all teams for the year and I look forward to seeing you at the games.

RILEY ROUND By Daniel Cencic

he Boronia Football Club commemorates Riley Round across the juniors and seniors in Round 1, in honour and memory of 12-year-old Riley Macnee, who passed away in January after a long battle with cancer. A Hawk through and through after first taking the field in the under-9s, Riley fought the toughest of fights and leaves an undeniable legacy at Tormore Reserve. Battling cancer from three and a half years of age, Riley’s mother Erin Macnee and the family watched him live his passion for sport despite living through sheer adversity.

“He’s got a lot of friends out there (and) the club has stuck by us the whole time - it’s been pretty special.” Boronia Junior Football Club president, and close friend of the Macnee family Ellisa Schmidtke, says Riley was a keen cricketer, avid Hawthorn supporter and a courageous and determined footballer. “(The day) was very much about honouring Riley as a person and as a Boronia Hawks player,” Schmidtke said. “He just loved sport so much, and loved his Hawks and the Boronia Football Club.” “He’d been part of us since under-9s.

“That was his passion, if he could get out there and play his sport and he could forget about everything else that was going on,” Erin said.

“He was a good kid and played football the way every child should – with courage and determination - it was all about his love of football.”

All junior Hawks players, coaches and staff wore black armbands and met in a circle for a minute silence before the first bounce of the season last Sunday in memory of their dear mate who last played footy in under-11s.

Pre-seasons in football are considered hard yakka, but nothing can compare to the harrowing experience of the Hawks community and the Macnee family.

“It was very emotional,” Erin said. “In a way, it was hard to watch but we knew all those boys out there were going through the same thing as we are too - at his wake they asked us to keep coming to their games.

The devastating loss of young life to such an insidious disease serves as a stark reminder of what is important in life. While many sports fanatics will their team to victory as a matter of life or death, the courageous fight fought by Riley puts wins and losses in the sporting arena into perspective. Erin says for her and husband Glen, losing a child is an experience no parent can imagine going through. “It’s really tough,” Erin said. “Sometimes just those little things around remind you every day. Even watching people play sport or turning the TV on and watching it, those are all reminders for us. “It’s something that you can never imagine going through.” “It’s a bit of a reality check that no-one’s really immune to cancer - it can just hit so close to home,” Schmidtke said. “It’s very difficult as a parent to think – I couldn’t imagine what those parents are going through.

The Eastern Footballer

RILEY ROUND “I physically couldn’t imagine the loss and seeing their son deteriorate and know that there’s an end. “That just rips me apart, knowing that they had to watch that happen. “It is just a game, and there are lots more important things in the world than football (and) for a 12-year-old boy to be struck down like this is just tragic.” Schmidtke has seen the impact and legacy Riley has left on his Hawks teammates, whom her son was great mates with and played football alongside. “I think they’ve come together really well - pretty much 80% of the boys played with Riley throughout his time at Boronia Football Club,” she said. “The boys are definitely stronger because of it, and they remember him all the time.” “It’s been good for the kids to unite together as well. “Even at the funeral, there was pretty much his whole football team there and his whole cricket team there to pay tribute to him because he was such an awesome kid. “He was one of those boys that was such a caring soul, a giving soul and wouldn’t say a bad word about anyone – a really good kid from a fantastic family.” The club has named an award after Riley – the Team Riley Award - where a player chosen from each respective Hawks team will be recognised for playing the game in the spirit in which Riley played. “Each coach was given the job of awarding a player within their team that round in remembrance of Riley in the way he played the game,” Schmidtke said.

Schmidtke is proud of the way the young Hawks approached the weekend, where football provided a much-needed outlet to the toughest of times at Tormore Reserve. “It’s quite a physically demanding and sometimes aggressive sport, so it’s an opportunity where kids can vent their frustrations through physical activity,” she said. While Riley is gone but certainly not forgotten, he will always be at the forefront of the Boronia Football Club minds, such is the brave Hawk’s undeniable legacy. Erin Macnee will be forever grateful for the support of the local community.

“That was something that we wanted to promote as well – those kids that play in the spirit that Riley played would possibly get the opportunity to win the award for that round.

“Just the continued support of the local community that is still ongoing, it’s huge for us,” she said.

“That goes across all junior and senior teams for that round in Boronia Football Club.”

“As hard as it is for us to see, it’s a reminder to us that people haven’t forgotten him.”

VOICE IN THE OUTER

am the faceless man standing and cheering. I am the man whose heart bleeds for his team. You hear me every Saturday as the boys run onto the ground. You hear me celebrate every goal. You hear me scream out in agony and cry out in ecstasy.

I have an opinion. I have passion. I am the “Voice in the Outer”. The countdown is coming to its climax. Summer has finished and the wait is nearly over.

Eight years up with the big boys from 1996 -2003 saw the Waters establish themselves as a genuine contender for the League’s premier title. Bayswater played in three preliminary finals in that time but just failed to reach the big dance on each occasion. With their ‘premiership window’ closing, the club fell on some tough times and have had to fight the hard way to regain their position in Division 1. After claiming the wooden spoon in 2003, the drop to Division 2 didn’t bring any relief. The proud club found itself suffering the fate of the dreaded ‘double drop’ and a spot in Division 3 in 2005. That stay was only to be shortlived though. A premiership saw them climb straight back into Division 2.

It’s time to dust off the scarf and beanie. It’s time to grab the duffle coat from the cupboard. It’s time to head out to your local ground and let your voice be heard from the outer. Like the return of an old friend you haven’t seen for six months – the footy is back! For some though the wait has been much longer. Not the wait since the last ball was kicked or the last goal was scored. For Bayswater, the wait has been 14 years since they last played in the top-flight Division 1 competition. The Waters are a proud and strong club. They value their reputation as a founding member of the EFL and as a traditional powerhouse. They boast facilities that are the envy of the rest of the competition and for too long have had to sit by and watch the elite of the east ply their trades on their turf as they host the finals for Division 1 each year. Now once again, Bayswater is back where it belongs! www.efl.org.au

Eleven seasons in Division 2 since saw Bayswater play finals six times. It suffered the agony of a losing grand final in 2010 before the dam walls broke last year – and when they did it happened like an avalanche. A 107-point walloping of Wantirna South, and now the Waters are back where they believe they belong – in Division 1. With new president and EFL legend Gary Galvin at the helm and ably led on field by son and captain Joel, Bayswater is now primed for an assault on the League’s biggest stage. With five competition best and fairest awards between them, you can’t help but feel the Waters are in good hands. I for one am rapt to see the Bayswater ‘green and gold’ go around again in Division 1 this year. I can’t wait to get out to Bayswater Oval and take in the atmosphere of the Bayswater faithful. There aren’t any more passionate fans in the Eastern Football League and it’s great to have them back. I’ll see you in the outer! 9

VALE PETER MCARTHUR By Daniel Cencic It is with deep sadness that much-respected radio broadcaster Peter McArthur passed away in the off-season. Peter was an EFL broadcast stalwart, who co-founded Radio Eastern 98.1FM in 1991 and worked as treasurer and program convener, in addition to studio hosting EFL game-day broadcasts on 98.1 Eastern FM for many years. He was also an ABC broadcaster, radio presenter, weatherman and interviewer, and weekend breakfast presenter and sports panellist for Radio 3LO. From 2005-2010, Peter was the president of Channel 31 in Melbourne. Outside of broadcasting, Peter enjoyed a successful career in politics, serving as a councillor on Croydon City Council from 1970, including mayor from 1975-1976. Representing the Liberal Party, he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Ringwood in 1976, and later served as chairman of the

Victorian Parliamentary All-Party Road Safety Committee. Radio colleague and friend of over 35 years Les Ferguson says Peter will be missed and his legacy will live on through the many broadcasters he taught. “There wouldn’t be an Eastern FM if it wasn’t for Peter McArthur,” Ferguson said. “A wonderful bloke, he started so many people off at Eastern FM giving them a go. “He will certainly be missed – he was an icon.” Peter McArthur’s generous and valuable contribution to the Eastern Football League’s media team will be remembered and cherished and we are forever grateful for having known and worked with Peter. Vale Peter McArthur.

VERMONT: Welcome Vermont supporters to another season, this time with new Senior Coach Harmit Singh supported by Reserves Coach Paul Breen and Under 19 Coach John Brown. Our Assistant Coaches have changed with the return of Bernie Dinneen and playing Assistant Joel Perry. Whilst you have been enjoying a lovely summer, the players and support staff have been involved in training since late November which is often forgotten. Our emphasis is certainly on the youngsters in our Club who produced such a mighty effort last year just falling short in the Senior Grand Final. We do welcome our many new to the Senior list players, highlighted by the return from the VFL of Lachie Johns and Rory Lehmann plus a wonderful group of boys from our Under 19’s. This season our second Under 19 team will have an association with Glen Waverley Blues F.C. Club and be known as the Glen Waverley Eagles and be coached by Andrew Pinto. To our sponsors we say thank-you for supporting us again and if you would like to get involved, please contact John Selton 0408599574. This season we also will have a Netball Team representing the Club and thank Hannah Barry-Murphy, who has been fantastic in recruiting. We also thank the Eagletonians (our Coterie Group) for funding the new very flash uniforms. To our Junior Club headed by Clint Wheeler we say, how do you manage 25 teams, including 5 girls team. Just incredible. Good luck boys today at Balwyn. Go Eagles !!

DIVISION 1

BAYSWATER: We look forward with great anticipation to the challenges of competing in first division for the first time in many years. We fully understand the massive jump and have worked hard over the summer attracting some quality recruits in Craig O’Rielly, Reece Groves, Reece Scuth, Mitch Viney, Shaun Jamieson, Damian Murray and Kurt Lopo. We start our campaign today at home with the unfurling of our two 2016 premiership flags and intend to put up a strong showing against local rivals South Croydon. We fully understand the enormity of the challenges in first division and believe we will give a good account of ourselves in 2017. A huge thank you to our past sponsors that have all come back on board and to our new sponsors, we trust that we, as a club and playing group, can prove that Bayswater is the place to be. Go Waters.

DONCASTER: Though there was no premiership in 2016, it must be considered one of, if not the greatest season in our history as the Seniors competed in Division 1 Finals for the first time ever. Couple that with the Colts also achieving the same then its hard to argue against as a club in whole. But now a new challenge begins – welcome to 2017 all !! Many changes on and off the filed over summer mainly with a new president and treasure as well as playing list changes. Big thanks to out going President Andrew Hallett who will remain involved at committee level – our achievements under his term speak for themselves and good luck to new Pres Sean O’Gorman, make sure we are all behind him and support where we can. Also a sad time to say goodbye to “The Thief” Ian Woods who has found a sea change – a whole that will be impossible to fill. To the Coaches, Andrew “AT” Tranquilli, Steve “Pest” Sheales and U19’s Kevin “Billy” Tellus all the best for the year. Today we travel to Montrose to kick off the season, Rd 2 is our first home game in 2 weeks time (no games over Easter). All welcome to head back to the rooms tonight to help celebrate the season kick off. Coterie memberships are still available. Finally and most importantly, I should probably take it easy on you Smith now that you’ve lost your little mate..........nah “STICKTA”.

DEVILS DRIVEN BY DEFEAT

he feeling of grand final defeat has burnt deep at Walker Reserve over summer.

Wantirna South’s resounding 107-point loss to Bayswater in last year’s Choose Tap Division 2 grand final has been the elephant in the Devils’ clubrooms over pre-season – a weighty presence, but seldom spoken about. “Although we haven’t brought it up much, I know each and every person at the club and the players more than most were really embarrassed from what the result was,” senior coach Matt Clark said. “It’s driven and motivated – they’ve given everything they’ve got, every night of pre-season. “We’re fitter than we were last year, we’re in a lot better mental space. “Time will tell but because we don’t bring it up all the time, it can either rock you or galvanise you, I like to think it’s the latter again. “They’re really driven not to be in a position like that again.” The off-season saw Clark and his charges waste no time recruiting, with the Devils coming out of the transfer period big winners. Former Noble Park ruckman Glenn Manson has landed at the Devils and will be a vital cog in Wantirna South’s quest for redemption this season. The dual premiership player has fit in well at Walker Reserve and looks set for a big year. “We identified pretty early even last year that we needed to add some quality and size and leadership in the middle – we were fairly young and skinny,” Clark said. “(Glenn) has been a great leader – he’s a playing assistant coach (and) he looks after our midfield. “He’s got a long-term goal to be a coach but he’s only just turned 30 and he’s got a bit of footy left in him so he wants to explore that as far as he can.” The Devils’ midfield stocks have been further bolstered, with the signing former Boronia captain Matt Buzinskas, who the Devils have been keen to land for two years according to Clark. “(Matt) has great leadership qualities, he trains well and is a really good example to our younger brigade,” he said. www.efl.org.au

By Daniel Cencic “We were talking to Matt for two years (and) we’ve been in constant dialogue. “I admired him when we played Boronia when we were in Division 3, he was a really tough opposition player to match up on.” Buzinskas spent the 2016 season playing for Watsonia in the Northern Football League, where a fractured jaw after an innocuous hit in the club’s first final cost the 28-year-old a premiership, as Watsonia went on to break its 29-year drought two weeks later. “There’s no doubt it burnt him,” Clark said. “Once he commits to anything, he really does commit - I know he was gutted. “We wanted to have someone like him come and add that on-field leadership but also, he thinks it’ll be a really good challenge too – he wanted to see where he can take his footy. “I’ve no doubt it’s provided him with motivation, but he aligned with us purely because we’re a good fit for him. “There’s no doubt he likes the fact that we’re aspirational and we want to play finals but he knows how tough the competition is and he’s going to have to earn his stripes with us.” While the feeling of grand final agony has burnt deep at the club for six months, the 2014 premiership coach’s philosophy is simple – learn. “I’m very much of the philosophy that we can’t change the past, we can only learn from it - I think that’s our style that we’ve really focussed on this year,” Clark said.

DONCASTER EAST: The start of another footy season has again come around very quickly. After a disappointing 2016 the players have put in a lot of hard work over the summer so I am sure they can’t wait to tackle Round 1 against Croydon at Croydon. After not fielding an Under-19s last year we are very excited with the group of young men who have joined the club this year and we extend a very warm welcome to their families and friends who will be there to support them run out for the first time in Donny East colours. Also good luck to our new senior players who will play their first game for the club today. I am sure all games will be hotly contested so no better introduction to what I am sure will be a very competitive season. A big thank-you to those of you who supported our season launch last Saturday night. It was a great success. The vibe around the place was very positive so let’s hope it is a sign of things to come. Our next social event is our Trivia Night on Saturday 29 April to be held at the club. It should be a fun night and we look forward to seeing players and their families and friends there to share in the fun and loads of prizes. Tickets $25pp so please contact Lyndall 0450 049004 or Melissa 0402 337965 to book your spot. Go Lions.

Great to see many past players in attendance to help the club start the year off. Welcome to all the new players, support staff and supporters. Coaching changes this year include Andy Hayman taking over the Reserves and Luke Galliott returning to the U19’s while Chad Rogers continues in the senior position. The juniors season kicked off last Sunday and they now have a couple of weeks off with the holidays while the Netballers also started last week and have now played a couple of grading games. We should see our first women’s team in action also in a couple of weeks when they start, making it a busy year for the club, so if you can help out it would be much appreciated. The King Club is again available for support this season so see Neil Thompson if interested or contact Andy Lee to get your social membership. The VIP area is also available for home games by contacting the club. Dates to put in your diary include the Toyota Good for Footy Night on May 4th and the annual Ladies Night which is on the 6th May. Thanks to all our sponsors who are back on board this year, please use them and mention you are from the club. Good Luck Today Upper…… Go the Red and Blue.

MITCHAM: The Mitcham Football Club would like to welcome our members, supporters and sponsors to our opening round clash v Upper Gully at Kings Park today. As always the off season has been a busy one and while we have farewelled some legends and loyal servants of the club, we have also added a great mix of youth and talent with a large number of our under 19s stepping up to be the new breed of Tiger in 2017. Welcome back to premiership players Rob Petracca from injury and Josh Bell who is back from overseas to put the list in a very good position going forward. Finding the right mix of players at the right age has been our goal over the preseason and we are confident we have added some real quality for the long term future of the club. The Club is also very lucky to have such loyal and generous sponsors and recognises the valuable contribution that our sponsors make in allowing the club to provide the best possible facilities and infrastructure for our players, members and supporters. In particular Adam Harris from Fletchers Real Estate, who in their 3rd term of being the clubs major sponsor has increased their contribution to incorporate sponsoring our 2 netball teams. On the social front MAKE SURE you confirm your tickets with Macca for the president’s lunch as we welcome one of the biggest names in the AFL, Kevin Sheedy to the Mitcham Football Club’s Anzac Round President’s lunch on Saturday 22nd of April 2017. Always a great day and a sell-out event, the Mitcham Football Club President’s lunch continues to be able to deliver the big names and is one event NOT to be missed. DON’T FORGET to keep up to date with all the news, views and reviews via the official Mitcham football Club site @www.mitchamfc. sportingpulse.net Good Luck to all teams today and enjoy your footy #strongandbold

DIVISION 2 WANTIRNA SOUTH: Footy is back! And what a way to kick off the season, than to play our old rivals Knox FC - The Falcons !

WANTIRNA SOUTH

With thanks to our major partner Knox Club, the senior team is playing for the inaugural Knox Club Cup today. Both footy clubs have enjoyed a great rivalry over the years and we greatly respect all that the Falcons have achieved, so it is apt that a trophy has been struck to record bragging rights from here on. We also welcome all the past players attending to what has become a traditional day for us over the years: First home game of the season for the Devils - a â&#x20AC;&#x153;must attendâ&#x20AC;? local footy game. The Presidents Lunch has Stan Alves as the guest speaker, there is a jumping castle for the kids, and Col Williams will be selling cold cans from the newly painted caravan. AND what should be a cracking game of footy! Thanks to Knox Council & Cr Lisa Cooper for the help with funding the new scoreboard, hopefully we see plenty of goals for the Devils up there.

DIVISION 2 LILYDALE: Welcome back for 2017. Today we welcome Waverley Blues to the Lilydale Reserve for all three games. There have been some changes around the club – we are now officially the Lilydale Football and Netball Club. This season we will have four teams competing in the Friday night EFL competition. Good luck to all teams. We have a new major sponsor – we welcome Ben Garrington and BG Electrical Services. Ben is a life member and former player of the club and we are very excited that Ben is on board with the Falcons. We also would like to thank the Yarra Valley Rodeo for sponsoring our under-19 team this year. We have other new sponsors on board and we welcome them to the club - Roof Spray Australia, Coldstream Brewery, MBCM Lilydale, Innove, Niche Hair and Beauty and we thank our existing sponsors for their loyalty. Today we have an afternoon tea for all the ladies involved at our club. Please come in if you are a mum, girlfriend, wife, grandma, sister or supporter of the club. We would love to see you. First drink is FREE. On May 12th, we are having the third COMMUNITY SPORTS DINNER. This year we will be entertained by the COODABEEN CHAMPIONS from ABC Radio. We are guaranteed a great night, so mark it in your calendar. Tickets will be going on sale shortly. Memberships and merchandise will be on sale in front of the clubrooms today. Come along and support the club by getting a membership. Go Dales.

WAVERLEY BLUES: The Waverley Blues have the pleasure of visiting Lilydale on a fine autumn day to commence season 2017. Plenty of new faces have joined the Blues over the summer break and we hope they can soak up all the sights, sounds and smells that Lilydale has to offer. Making the trip home with four points under our belt would also be a delight. Like most clubs at this time of year we start the season full of confidence. We are undefeated for six months since August 2016. We have new recruits, everyone has had a big pre-season and most of the list is fighting fit. However, unlike many other clubs our optimism is real. Even the club’s crankiest of blokes have a spring* in their step (*Maxy almost broke into a gallop – though it may have just been his turn to shout). The Waverley Blues give thanks to outgoing President Gavin Kaye; he served the club tirelessly and admirably for many years. Big shoes to fill so we needed two people to take his place, welcoming new President Steve Pewtress and we found a Vice President in Peter O’Donoghue. Best of luck for the season ahead to seniors coach Ben Carboni, new reserves coach Daniel Griffin and new Under 19s coach Bryce McGain. May you and your assistants lead us well on and off the field. As has become tradition our first home game will be Mates Day on April 22nd and as tradition would dictate it promises to be a ripsnorter. Be there or be elsewhere. See the club’s website and Facebook page for all details and membership & sponsorship packages. Go Blues!

DIVISION 2 MULGRAVE: Welcome to season 2017 to all our supporters, members, sponsors and players. After a solid preseason, on and off the field, the club is in good shape to take on season 2017. The appointment of Dain Howe and Tony Ellin as Reserves and Under 19s coaches respectively, reinforces our commitment to player development and providing a base for future years. Senior coach Peter Greenstreet has put the boys through a solid preseason, and along with some targeted recruiting, the club should be in for a solid and competitive season. We welcome back our existing and loyal sponsorship base, and also a host of new sponsors, in particular thanks to our major sponsors Procut Trees and New Tech Homes, their logos now sit on our redesigned jumper, which we will launch in round 1. Between cricket season and the start of the football season we have had a new drainage system installed around the centre wicket, and the supply of “easy covers”, which should enable us to avoid the centre bog we experience sometimes during our seasons. In round 1 we take on Mooroolbark (in the Seniors and Reserves) and Ferntree Gully (in the Under19s) at home, good luck to all our players and let’s (hopefully) celebrate three wins in our clubrooms after the game. Upcoming events include: Netballers Night on April 29th, Past Players Day on 6th May, and Ladies’ Night on 29th May. We play Waverley Blues away on the ANZAC weekend, and will once again wear a commemorative jumper. If you haven’t signed up for your membership yet, see Heather Kelaart, we recommend the Lion Pride Membership, a great deal with two fantastic lunches included in the deal, or a supporters package, both are great opportunities to support the club.

MOOROOLBARK: A big welcome to all Mooroolbark players, sponsors and supporters to season 2017. Paris Harvie has been reappointed as Senior coach for his 4th year while Richard Sutherland continues as coach of the Reserves. Unfortunately we are unable to field a Colts team this season due to lack of numbers but with a strong U17’s group I’m sure the Colts will be up and running again next season. The boys have been on the track since November and are raring to go. We’ve had 3 good hitouts against Healesville, Nth Ringwood and Rye and are now ready for the real thing as we take on Mulgrave in round one. We’ve lost a few players to other clubs but a number of players have returned to the stable after stints elsewhere and we’ve also picked up a few others, notably Ben Dolan and Jhi Aitkin from Blackburn, Metin Musa from Bayswater and Aaron Beddoes from Montrose. Added to this our young boys from last year are now a year older, stronger and smarter so we are looking for improvement from them. We also have Matt Hassan and Jack Craig-Smith returning after missing most of last season through injury so we are hoping that we can again have a very competitive season. After today’s game everyone is invited back to the Heights clubrooms where we will hold our annual Player Auction so make sure you study the form and roll up to buy your favourite players. GO MUSTANGS!!!

THE WHISTLEBLOWERS By Sean Clarke - EFL Junior Field Umpires Coach It is always good to take a moment, step back and reflect after a day like last Sunday; the first competitive games since last year’s grand finals. Despite no games, much has happened since the siren sounded on season 2016 – the introduction of our summer fitness program, a big pre-season at Fairhills, a new coaching program and a recruitment campaign that has seen us welcome over 100 new umpires to our club. Last week, over 50 umpires made the first steps in their umpiring careers with game number one in the EFL. If you were among that number, congratulations and well done on your first game. Hopefully, it was the first of many milestones you experience with us. From my observations and the feedback from our coaches, you did a very good job and the future is looking bright for the biggest club in the EFL. Thank you all for your efforts. Yet again the quality of people we have in our team shone through yesterday with numerous umpires stepping up when asked, and some just taking the initiative themselves. From relative ‘old timers’ like Peter Wright accepting a third consecutive game to new umpires like Jordan Rae who finished his appointed game and then, after we were caught out by a game unexpectedly brought forward, stepped up to umpire the following game before the appointed umpire arrived.

These are just two of many examples from last week of umpires displaying the attitude and behaviour we endeavour to promote and encourage. Despite anything that happens that may knock us off course, you, as a collective group, seem to always be there to keep us moving forward in the right direction. To Pete and Jordan, and to all those who ran an extra game, got to your game at a different time and let us know what was happening so we could take action, thank-you. At the core of what we do, the reason we are here, however, is umpiring. I started the day watching a few under-9s and under-10s games and finished with an under-17s premier game. From first bounce (throw) to final siren, I was reminded of why I do what I do – it is all about you guys enjoying what you do and having the tools to do it well. The attitude, application and performance of umpires yesterday was first class. Our performance is ultimately what we will be judged on by others, and we know that if we can instil the right behaviours and attitude, along with a knowledge and understanding of the laws of the game, we know that anyone who sees us in action will know we are good umpires, both individually and collectively. Again, well done on a very positive and encouraging start to the season. Let’s do it all again on the 23rd!

The Eastern Footballer

NETBALL INTERLEAGUE Netball hall of fame inductee and former Australian vice-captain Shelley O’Donnell will coach the EFL’s first ever Interleague netball side in season 2017. A prolific centre, O’Donnell’s record both playing and coaching speaks for itself. She formed part of the world cup winning Australian teams in 1991 and 1995, then later in 1999 as vice-captain. In an international career spanning 10 years, O’Donnell represented Australia on 84 occasions, and also the inaugural captain of the Melbourne Kestrels between 1997-2000. EFL Netball Manager Ellie Ingwersen is delighted with the appointment and believes

that O’Donnell’s influence on the program will be significant. “Shelley’s experience across all levels of netball will be invaluable to the program and we see her as a huge asset to the League,” she said. “In the first season, we wanted to ensure the program appealed to the girls who would take part (and) having Shelley as Coach will hopefully be a highlight to those representing the League.” The EFL will take on the Northern Football League on May 12, the day before the senior interleague side plays host to the Essendon District Football League.

RINGWOOD: We welcome everyone to another season of football and one that the Ringwood Football Club hope is as successful and rewarding as season 2016. After a good pre season of training and three practice matches the boys are primed and ready to kick start the season off on a strong note. We extend a big thank you to all our sponsors both old and new and urge all our members and players to support them throughout the year as their commitment to the club enables us to put teams on the ground each week. Also a welcome to all new players and their families and we hope their time with Ringwood is a rewarding and enjoyable one. This year sees the club celebrating it 120th year which is an exciting time for the club and their are plenty of events and functions being planned to celebrate the occasion so please help make it a big year and show your support with details and dates being confirmed shortly. The players will be wearing a special 120th year jumper during each game this season to commemorate the occasion with jumpers being available for purchase at the end of the season. Redback Memberships are now available so please show your true support by purchasing a membership and for full details please see Don Burns. We travel to take on The Basin in todays opening match and we wish all players and coaches the best of luck for both today and the year ahead.

DIVISION 3 SCORESBY: Footy is back for 2017! Although pre-season was long, beginning in November, the boys are looking to be in good shape to build on the improvements made last year. We have recruited some new and old faces and look to ‘sing the song’ regularly in 2017. Our 3 coaches, in Brent King, Jeremy Fraser and Kristian Bardsley, have signed on for this year, and we welcome them back and wish them well for the season ahead. Off the ﬁeld we have a Board with some continuity and some fresh ideas, and we give them our support. We have a number of new sponsors, as well as many loyal, returning ones, and we thank them for their generosity. Membership sales are going well, and if you haven’t got one yet, it’s not too late to purchase one, even for your ‘Mini Magpies’. Keep an eye out for all upcoming functions on our website – www.scoresbyfc.org.au Today we are celebrating the 1977 Premiership victory with an ‘Eagles Era’ reunion in the clubrooms. It will be great to see so many Scoresby heroes in the one room. Hopefully we can all celebrate together with some wins against our opponents today, East Burwood. We welcome the Rams and their supporters to Exner Reserve.

SOUTH BELGRAVE: The 2017 season has arrived and we at the South Belgrave FC canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get stuck into it. An amazing amount of work has been done in the off season in recruitment and retention of players by our Football Department headed by Danny and his team. We have said goodbye to quite a few players and some coaching staff over the break and we wish them well whether retiring or playing on at other clubs. We would also like to welcome our new recruits and also the players that have made the transition from our Junior club into the Senior club. We welcome our new coaches in Robert, Dave, Jeremy, David, Rik and Shane. New Head Trainer Phil and his assistants Casey and Jordan. And in other huge news for our club we now have 2 teams entered into the EFL Netball competition which started on March 31st. thanks to our dress sponsors which enabled us to get this venture off the ground and for the 20 ladies who have put their hands up to be our Netballers. We would also like to acknowledge the work over the break of Alicia and her band of helpers in finding us suitable temporary facilities and all the other organising of things that go along with that whilst the construction of our new rooms is taking place. We will be able to watch the new building rise out the ground as the season progresses. Finally I would like to thank our Sponsors and supporters whether returning or newly joined in sticking with our great club and hope you enjoy the South Belgrave experience. If you want to buy a membership rather than forking out at the gate each week details are on our social media sites and website. Stay tuned in the weeks to come as we will be having a massive mid season Masquerade Ball that should not be missed.

TEMPLESTOWE: The Dockers enter the 2017 Season refreshed and ready to go headed up by our new Coach – Craig Decorsey, with some new players in both the Seniors and Reserves. Our U19’s numbers have been bolstered from last year with players from TJFC plus some new recruits lead by Coach Rob Yoannidis ably assisted by George Sahinidis and Scott Wason. The Reserves, after a stellar 2016 year bringing home the Division 3 Premiership Cup, will again be coached by Travis Wason. Training has been full on since late November with a break then solid from late January. Two Practice games have been a good lead up to Round 1 away against the Heathmont Jets on their home turf which I believe is pristine following major works. Our thanks to our Major Sponsors, PSC Insurance, The Co Accountants, Maximus Catering and Credo Financial. Socially, a successful Golf Day at Moonah Links tied in with a Wine Tour for the non-golfers met up for the Season Launch.

COUGARS TO POUNCE ON 2017

oldstream is poised for a stealthy assault on the 2017 Division 4 premiership race, with a new era being ushered in at the Cougars under new senior coach Michael Cardamone.

The former Forest Hill and Basin small forward has lured a plethora of stars to the Cougars, as it looks to break a 16-year premiership drought. Key forward Johnny Pignataro has returned to Coldstream after a number of years with Mitcham, where the spearhead has topped the goal-kicking on several occasions. Pignataro played in the Cougars’ 2001 premiership side, and looks set to repeat his goal-kicking heroics in his original colours this season. “Experience doesn’t grow on trees, and with the young group that we have, the average age was about 20 in the seniors so if I brought back a number of experienced players, especially one-pointers, it’s going to help me,” senior coach Michael Cardamone said. “As soon as I took on the role and he was interested it was a no-brainer for me.” Also headlining the new recruits is three-time premiership star Leigh Odermatt, who played in two flags with Heathmont and one with South Belgrave. Odermatt won the Blue Ribbon Medal in 2013 for best on ground for South Belgrave in its thrilling extra-time grand final win against Forest Hill. The six-time Team-of-the-Year representative will serve as a playing-assistant coach in 2017, and will look to impart his invaluable knowledge and experience to the playing group. “He’s been fantastic, there’s no secret why he’s such a good player – it’s how he trains and how he goes about things, he leads from the front,” Cardamone said. “I was in talks with him from June-July last year about taking a senior role, and he was always keen to come across as a playing assistant. “To have him in the forward line just adds another bow with him, it becomes pretty dangerous. “Leigh’s 33 now and all the boys love him. All the boys love him and at heart he’s a young kid still too. They all respect him on and off the field which is great.” Daniel Price has been

By Daniel Cencic welcomed back into the fold after a three-year hiatus from the club. Price’s time away from the Bears saw him play in the 2014 North Ringwood Division 2 premiership under Brett Moyle, as well as a grand final with The Basin in 2015 and a top-five finish in Pyramid Hill’s best and fairest in 2016 in the Loddon Valley Football League. Cardamone is rapt to have him and brother Matt on board in 2017. “Daniel and his brother Matt, they’re Coldstream juniors and Coldstream boys through and through,” he said. “I’m close with Daniel, I played with him at The Basin and he’s a family friend as well. “To get him across, it’s great for the club. “He’s a line coach as well, he’s hit 31 years old so now he wants to take a bit more responsibility of the back six, and he’s got the licence to drive his back six.” Coaching was always a passion Cardamone wanted to pursue in the latter part of his footy career, and says the time was right to take on a senior gig. “I love my footy, I knew in the latter part of my career (that I wanted to coach),” he said. “I’m 31 years old and I’d always wanted to get into coaching. I thought this was the right time. “It’s been great so far, there have been a few challenges working with the young kids and also manage the older blokes, it’s tough at times but really rewarding as well.” With a fit and firing list, the sky is the limit this season for the rejuvenated Cougars, according to Cardamone. “The club’s really pleased where we are now - I’ve got 35 blokes I could pick for Round 1 that I’d be confident could do the job,” he said. “If we can stay injury-free, there’s no reason we can’t push for top four and once you win your 12 games to cement top four, you look at a top-two chance as well.”

DIVISION 4 FOREST HILL: The start of the season is ﬁnally here, over the summer season both the committee and players have worked hard to make sure that this season is a great one. Our practice matches have been a good chance to showcase some new talent to the club. We were able to take over the rooms early and thanks to the Forest Hill Cricket Club for their help in this transition. As always, we are still in need of volunteers to help out so if you can give a couple of hours on a home game please let one of the committee know. We welcome all our sponsors new and old to Forest Hill and will be showcasing our sponsors during the year, thank you for your continued support or new support. This is the 50th year of the club and we will celebrate with a gala ball on June 26th - get your tickets now as this event is selling out. Good luck to our coaching staff and players today as we welcome Fairpark to the Home of the Zebra. #gozebras

DIVISION 4 GLEN WAVERLEY HAWKS: What an exciting time to be a Glen Waverley Hawk! We have seen major changes to our off-field admin structure with Steve Potts moving from President to Director of Football, Gary Hocking stepping down as treasure to be replaced by Gavin Broad, Bec Snape moving from Secretary to Junior President (replacing Richard Janssen) and Andrew Newey stepping in as Secretary. The injection of fresh blood always creates an atmosphere of new enthusiasm along with some changes to what has hitherto been business as usual and that is very exciting, but we would be nowhere without those who came before us. The board unanimously thanks Steve Potts, Gary Hocking, Richard Janssen for their service to the club. The success of local sporting clubs ride solely on the backs of the tireless volunteers who give up so many hours of their time to ensure things run smoothly. So again with utmost sincerity, thank you all for all you have done for the Glen Waverley Hawks. On the field, we believe we have recruited smartly and effectively in the new era of Salary and player points caps and this played out in our first real hit out for the year at the Cure for Brain Cancer match against St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which was played at an extremely high standard for a practice match, despite the sapping heat. With the club making it back into the finals last year we certainly hope to continue the upward trend that has been established over the last 3 years under coach Ryan Flack and return to the post season in 2017 and be in the mix to win that elusive first Premiership. Returning to the Cure for Brain Cancer match for a moment, a huge thank you to everyone who came along and donated so generously to what is a very worthwhile cause. Over $9000.00 was raised on the day and it will only get bigger and better in the future as we have locked in this preseason fixture for years to come. Round 1 sees us take on the Whitehorse Pioneers at home and it should prove to be a good test to open the season. The Pioneers were one of six teams log jammed in the middle of the ladder last year and were extremely competitive against all the teams vying for finals. The sense of unknown that always goes along round 1 also adds a layer of intrigue and there is no doubt that both teams come into the game believing they can win it. They should be cracking matches at both senior and reserve level to kick off the season at Waverley Toyota Oval. 2017 shapes as a terrific season and I look forward to enjoying it all with the Glen Waverley Hawks family. P.S. The clubs well wishes go out to Treasurer Gavan Broad who is on the mend after a recent surgery. Get well soon Gav! Kind regards, Steve Cornell Glen Waverley Hawks President

KILSYTH: With the signing of new senior coach Paul Newlands (former Croydon coach), the senior players were keen to take on the pre-season. A tough pre-season was had, with ﬁtness and discipline the main focuses. Newy pushed the boys to their limits, in tough weather conditions, also bringing in new game plans and structures. Welcome to the Cougars Paul and his crew, Tony and Mel. Off season recruitment has been strong, with Cam Van Florenstein, Jackson Lucas, Heath Williams, Jack Miechel, Luke Perryman and Eddie Molesworth are just a few of the new players to join the Cougars. Our Reserve boys are once again under the guidance of coach Chris Rutty, who took the boys to a prelim ﬁnal last year. The U/19s are now in the hands of Senior player and 2015/2016 Senior captain Mathew Jackson. Jacko is excited to take on the role and work with a great bunch of boys, guiding them along for season 2017. We would like to congratulate Sean Currey on being named as the 2017 Seniors captain. Cuz has shown incredible leadership over the last few months during pre-season and has really impressed Newy in this time. 2017 is looking to be an exciting year for the club. We would love to see all supporters at as many games as possible to support our boys. Go Cougars!

Coach Paul Beven and his panel have done a great job and we look to have a great solid season on and off ﬁeld.

Our juniors kicked off the season last weekend, with three new girl’s teams (4 girl’s teams in total) and for the first time two Under 9 sides. Our future has never been brighter. We warmly welcome life member Kevin Collins back to our club as under 19s coach. Kevin will play a strong role supporting senior coach Matt Fife and Reserves coach Daniel Michelangeli. We are excited to travel to Silvan this evening for a night match. This is a great initiative and we hope it is a success for Silvan – off the field anyway; Donvale are pretty keen to win both games! We do wish Silvan every success for the season ahead. Good luck to all the players representing Donvale tonight – old and new. We hope this is the start of an enjoyable and successful season. A big thank you to the Donvale supporters who have travelled here this evening. Stand by in the next couple of weeks for more information about season memberships.

HYDRATION

44 DIVISIONS, 411 TEAMS By: Dyson Baker – EFL Junior Manager

2017 will be one of the biggest in Eastern Football League history.

Thousands of players took to the field last week for Round 1 of the Eastern Football League and Eastern Region Girls junior season. From under-8s all the way through to under-18s there is now a pathway for every junior – male and female. The Eastern Region Girls competition will this season play host to more than 85 teams across five age divisions – under 10s, 12s 14s, 16s and 18s. The girls who had previously been forced to play in junior boys’ competitions now have a pathway through junior football and into the fledgling Eastern Region Women’s competition. 27 EFL junior clubs will host girls’ teams in at least one age group with the forces of girls football; Blackburn, Donvale, Knox, Mitcham, Ferntree Gully, Vermont, Upper Ferntree Gully and Mount Evelyn all fielding sides across multiple age groups. In under-8s, our two centralised venues at Quambee Reserve (North Ringwood) and Lewis Park (Eastern Lions) are now at capacity with a record 37 teams entered for season 2017. That growth continues into the under-9s with 48 teams entered. At the other end of the spectrum, 43 teams spilt across five divisions make up our 2017 under-17s competition.

The EFL’s representative program will remain at six teams this year with the League fielding four under15s sides (two boys and two girls) and two under14s sides in the AFL Victoria Junior Metropolitan Championships. Our four boys’ sides will compete in Division 1 of the competition taking on the best in metro Melbourne while both our girls sides will compete in Division 2 aiming to take the competition by storm following the success of the Eastern Ranges girls this season. Interleague training will commence in late April with the competition running over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. The League will host nine home games across three venues; Bayswater Oval, Walker Park and Pat Wright Senior Oval.
