BOUNDARY 

LINE 

The Eastlake Football Club made a big statement 

last weekend when they handed out a footy lesson 

to Tuggeranong. In a game that most pundits 

thought could have gone either way, it was the 

Demons who really flexed some muscle to record 

a convincing win. They have now all but secured a 

finals birth and are looking dangerous, just as they 

were around the same time last year. 

Congratulations to the GIANTS for taking its home 

game to the Riverina, what a great chance for both 

clubs and the League to showcase the great standard 

of footy that is the NEAFL. 

Queanbeyan are back at home on Sunday after their 

road trip last weekend to Southport, and they host the 

powerful Swans. Don’t be surprised to see the Tigers 

stretch Sydney, as they were a lot closer to the Sharks 

last week than what the final score suggested. 

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT’S ONLY THREE WEEKS TO GO UNTIL THE 

FINALS? MAKE SURE YOU BLOCK OUT YOUR WEEKENDS COME 

SEPTEMBER BECAUSE THE ACTION WILL REALLY HOT UP AS WE GET 

TO THE POINTY END OF THE SEASON. 

I AM VERY HAPPY TO CONFIRM THAT THIS YEAR’S GALA PRESENTATION 

EVENING, WHICH WILL ENCOMPASS THE MULROONEY MEDAL AS WELL AS 

ALL THE OTHER SENIOR AND WOMEN’S BEST AND FAIREST AWARDS, WILL 

BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER AT THE HELLENIC CLUB IN WODEN. 

ALL ARE VERY WELCOME AND THIS YEAR WE WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE 

MANY WIVES, GIRLFRIENDS AND PARTNERS ATTEND. 

MORE INFORMATION WILL BE ON THE WWW.NEAFL.COM.AU AND 

WWW.SEEYOUATTHEFOOTY.COM.AU WEBSITES IN COMING DAYS, 

BUT LOCK THE DATE IN FOR WHAT WILL BE A GREAT 

NIGHT OF CELEBRATIONS. 

Ainslie, fresh off the bye, will look to stretch their 

winning streak to six when they take on the in form 

Demons at Manuka this Saturday. A cracking game 

is guaranteed. 

The GIANTS and Belconnen hit the ground this 

Saturday when they play at Robertson Oval Wagga. 

Good luck to all clubs competing across the grades 

this weekend and may the best teams win.

IMPORTANT 

SUPPORT 

No football club 

could survive without 

generous sponsors 

backing them from 

their boardrooms and 

shop fronts. 

Ainslie Football Club has been 

involved in Canberra’s Australian 

football competition since 1927 

and while there has been changes 

in sponsorship over the years the 

name that appears on the front of 

the club’s strip today is The Home 

Loan Centre. 

The company has been supporting 

the team for five years as the 

major sponsor, in a relationship 

that managing director John de la 

Torre says is a happy one. 

“The spirit of the club is enormous 

and we’re always about doing 

business with people we like,” said 

de la Torre. 

“The committee is an excellent 

committee… They have a view 

about the competition locally, so 

it makes it easy to be supporting 

them.” 

Ainslie’s association with The 

Home Loan Centre came about 

because a key employee at the 

business used to be a player at 

the club, and their family is still 

involved now. 

This opened the door for the deal 

to go ahead, which de la Torre said 

was great because the club colours 

were coincidentally a match 

for The Home Loan Centre’s logo. 

Another prominent sponsor of the 

Ainslie Football Club is Hamilton 

Brokers Proprietary Limited. 

Director of the business Don 

Nolan has been involved 

with the club 

for 18 years, which 

involved a junior 

coaching role and 

having his two sons 

play for the side. 

The director’s connection 

to the club 

was a contributing 

factor in the 

company’s decision 

to begin the sponsorship 

which has now 

been going for three 

years. 

Nolan is optimistic about the future 

of Australian football in Canberra 

and the new and improved 

NEAFL, both for his company and 

the sport itself. 

“I think the NEAFL is 

still relatively 

unknown,” said Nolan. 

“It’ll take another 

year, and the slow 

recognition of the 

FOXTEL Cup will assist, 

to raise the profile of 

the competition.” 

These are not the only two sponsors 

involved with the Ainslie 

Football Club as the side’s books 

will show. 

There are over 33 companies listed 

by Ainslie on their website which 

includes individual, ground and 

teams sponsors. 

Both spokesmen for the companies 

mentioned in this article said 

how easy it was to deal with the 

north Canberra club. 

The club’s friendly exterior and 

community based outlook are the 

major reasons why they have been 

successful off the field, and that 

in turn has lead to their achievements 

on it.

HAWKS STILL A 

CHANCE... 

The Tuggeranong 

Hawks will have to 

direct their focus 

to next season after 

all but drowning 

their finals chances 

– being demolished by 

Eastlake last Sunday. 

It was a must win game for the 

Hawks, but they never looked 

in it with the Demons running 

them off their feet and eventually 

winning by 20 goals – 10.12.72 to 

29.18.192. 

The interesting 

question is: Where 

to now for the 

Hawks? They have 

the bye this weekend 

but then how do 

they approach the 

remaining two games 

against Belconnen 

and Queanbeyan? 

The brown and yellow guernseys 

are still mathematically in the 

race for the nearly sealed fourth 

spot. The chances are incredibly 

slim and if they are to make 

it they will have to win their 

final two matches by massive 

margins. They might have a good 

chance considering the Magpies 

and Tigers only have 4 wins 

between them but the Hawks 

would have to rely on Eastlake 

suffering huge losses in their final 

two games. 

Coach Glenn Gorman decried 

his team for not being hungry 

enough against the Demons. And 

really, the chance to make a mark 

on the competition has passed. 

There were missed opportunities 

during the season and the Hawks 

will have to pay the price for that. 

If only they had managed to hold 

on against Ainslie in round six 

and Queanbeyan in round nine 

it could be a different story now. 

Gorman has said time and time 

again that the key is belief - 

Believe and you can win games. 

This isn’t to say that the season 

hasn’t been positive for 

Tuggeranong. 

They started 

the year with 

an aura of 

confidence 

after winning 

some monumental 

games towards 

the end of 2010 and 

continued that 

attitude through 

the preseason. 

Their goal has been to make 

the finals – it probably won’t 

happen. But the young team 

have built a foundation together 

and will certainly build again for 

next season. 

Gorman believes there are still 

some issues to work through. 

He was adamant the Hawks 

could have beaten Eastlake last 

weekend and the team needs 

to start asking themselves 

questions about why they didn’t 

and what is stopping the team 

from performing. 

They have to remember the pain 

now and use it in 2012.

The HSC exam period 

can be a stressful 

time, and so can playing 

football for a 

side where no spot 

is guaranteed but 

no matter where you 

are, and what tough 

times lay ahead, it’s 

always good to have 

a mate nearby. 

For 18-year-old Jacob Townsend 

that mate is GIANTS teammate 

Kurt Aylett. 

The pair who grew-up across 

the road from each other in the 

country New South Wales town of 

Leeton, embarked on their football 

adventure together and now head 

to Wagga Wagga to represent the 

GIANTS and rural NSW. 

“Kurt and I played in the same 

side since Under-12’s through to 

Under-16’s,” Townsend said. 

“His house and my house are 

probably about 400 metres away 

from each other.” 

The pair played for the Leeton 

Crows, who will be playing in 

Wagga Waggaon the same day 

the GIANTS are in town. 

“I think they’re playing at the 

same time as us so I’m not sure 

how many of my mates will get 

down to our game,” Townsend 

said. 

Townsend said he remains 

focused even though he is in the 

middle of his HSC exam period at 

Patrician Brothers in Blacktown, 

where his favourite subjects 

are Physical Education and 

woodwork. 

“The HSC is going 

alright at the moment, I’ve been 

going good at school so 

hopefully I can keep 

carrying that through 

to exams,” 

he said. 

“I’m enjoying the 

practical side of things, 

like making things from 

scratch in woodwork. 

“I’m thinking that if footy 

wasn’t there I’d probably 

be looking for work in the 

building and construction 

industry.” 

The young football 

talent said it can be hard juggling 

school with training and playing 

but acknowledged the GIANTS 

ongoing support. 

“The club has been really good 

with that,” he said. 

“If I have got a lot 

of school work on 

they will say ‘stay at 

school and do 

assignments’ which 

is great.” 

Townsend is looking forward to 

throwing on a GIANTS jumper 

when GWS meet Belconnen at 

Wagga Wagga, just a short drive 

down the Sturt Highway from his 

hometown. 

“Having family watching me will 

make me want to play better but 

every time I play for the GIANTS 

I want to do my best,” Townsend 

said. 

“To play in a regional spot is good 

for the GIANTS and also for the 

footy in that area,” he said. 

“To have a quality game of 

football in Wagga is great for the 

development of the game.”

The Parental and Community Engagement 

The Parental and 

Community Engagement 

(PaCE) Program 

is a joint initiative 

between the AFL and 

DEEWR, that better 

supports Indigenous 

Parents and communities 

to participate 

in educational 

decision making 

activities. 

Students and parents 

participate in fun activities to 

develop life skills and a greater 

understanding of culture. In 

Wagga Wagga, the program has 

been operating out of Mount 

Austin High School (MAHS) 

since late March 2011. 

In the short time that the 

program has been running 

the AFL has been able to 

set up healthy relationships 

MAHS Staff and Community 

Groups. Michael Vincent is the 

coordinator of the program, 

“I have developed a strong 

relationship with the Aboriginal 

Education Assistants at MAHS, 

Michelle Gemmell, and 

Steve O’Neil. The school is 

very supportive and Deputy 

Principal Bruce Fisher is always 

involved.” 

“The community is getting right 

behind the program, and community 

groups such as Family 

Services, Riverina Medical and 

Dental Aboriginal Corporation, 

Wagga Wagga Aboriginal Elders 

Group, Department of Family 

Community Services, MAHS, 

Riverina Community College 

and Ashmont Community 

Centre will add great value for 

the Parents and Students 

participating” 

A steering committee 

has been put 

together to guide 

the program and 

consists of: 

- John Love – PaCE Program 

Manager NSW/ACT 

- Michael Vincent – PaCE 

Program Coordinator 

Wagga Wagga 

- Aunty Isabel Reid - 

Wiradjuri Elder 

- Tangerene Ingram - Parent 

- Michelle Gemmell - 

Aboriginal Educational 

Assistant 

- Steve O’Neill – Aboriginal 

Educational Assistant 

- Bruce Fisher – Deputy 

Principal MAHS 

- Tim Bowen – DEEWR 

- Jason McPherson – 

Regional Manager SNSW/ 

ACT 

Already as part of the program 

the Indigenous parents and 

students travelled to Sydney to 

experience an AFL game at the 

Sydney Cricket Ground between 

the Sydney Swans and Port 

Adelaide Power. Parents were 

given the opportunity to hold 

the Swans Banner up, while 

the students created a guard of 

honour for the Swans as they 

ran out onto the field. Further to 

this, local Tristan Williams was 

asked to be a junior mascot 

for the Sydney Swans and run 

out with the team through the 

guard of honour and the banner. 

Tristan was selected for good 

behaviour during the trip. 

You will see the 

PACE program participants 

conducting 

a guard of honour 

for the GIANTS as 

they run out onto 

the field against 

Belconnen this Saturday. 

Accompanying 

the team will be 

Ryan Ingram as the 

team mascot. 

The program is just getting 

started and many discussion 

groups, workshops and camps 

are planned between now and 

the end of the year. If you’re

PYKE THE DUAL 

ATHLETE 

8 

Mike Pyke is certainly 

showing his potential 

after moving to 

Australia in 2009 to 

start his AFL career, 

after representing 

Canada in Rugby 

Union. 

When Pyke was handed the 

opportunity to play with the 

Swans he saw it as a step 

forward in his sporting career 

and jumped at the chance. 

“I think it was just a great 

opportunity to play a great 

sport in a great country. It was 

something that I wanted to do 

that I did not want to regret not 

trying later on in my life,” 

Pyke said. 

After being involved in the 

sport for the past three years 

he does see some difference 

in representing your country 

in Rugby Union and playing for 

the Sydney Swans. 

“It was a completely different 

experience, obviously representing 

your country is a very 

special thing but it was equally 

as special to have all your hard 

work pay off trying to make my 

transition into AFL. 

It was a great feeling running 

out onto the SCG for the 

Richmond game in round six in 

my first year,” Pyke said. 

After debuting for the Swans 

in 2009, he has since gone on 

to play another 27 matches 

and has scored 5 goals during 

that time. Pyke 

can see improvements 

in his game 

every week. 

“I can see 

improvements 

every game which 

is encouraging so 

it does not really 

matter if I am playing 

in senior competition 

or NEAFL it is great 

just to be playing 

AFL,” Pyke said. 

Pyke tore his quad 

when the Swans 

Image: Slattery Media 

played the Western Bulldogs 

at Manuka Oval this year and 

is returning for the first time 

this weekend for the Swans 

Reserves. 

“I am just taking 

it week by week, 

hopefully I will get 

through this week 

and build on my 

performance and 

give myself a chance 

to play the last 

couple of rounds or 

fortunately enough 

in a final,” Pyke said. 

With the return of Pyke the 

Swans Reserves will be hoping 

that they can win against 

the Queanbeyan Tigers as the 

finals draw closer. 

With a new coach at 

the helm Pyke is 

hoping Henry Playfair 

will lead them 

into the finals. 

“I think the work that coach 

Playfair has put into the team 

is helping, he is doing a great 

job taking over the reins this 

year and going towards the 

finals we are taking it very 

seriously” Pyke said.

GOOD WILL 

GRIGGS 

In what has been a 

busy few weeks with 

milestones at the 

club, another one 

will be reached this 

weekend when one 

of Queanbeyan’s 

young guns, Will 

Griggs, plays his 

50th first grade 

game for the club. 

What makes this achievement 

even more significant is that it 

has occurred following Griggs 

missing a full season of footy 

a few years ago due to having 

a serious knee injury. A sign 

of his character says his Coach 

Adrian Pavese. 

“To be able to come back from 

a serious knee injury the way 

Will has is a testament to his 

attitude and commitment to 

wanting to playing footy at the 

highest level,” Pavese said. 

In what has been a tough year 

for the club, a shining light 

has been the performance of 

Griggs. This season in diffcult 

circumstances he has consistently 

lead from the front and 

played good footy. Griggs’ form 

this year is a promising sign for 

the future of the Tigers, which is 

a real positive to take from this 

season. 

“We’re a young team, on the 

up and we have a bright future 

ahead,” Griggs said. 

Coach Pavese has 

been incredibly impressed 

with Griggs’ 

form this season 

saying “He works 

hard, tackles hard 

and never gives up. 

Will has a big future 

at this club.” 

In what can be one of the best 

acknowledgements from your 

coach, Pavese also said “Griggs 

could be a future captain of our 

footy club. 

He leads by example with his 

footy.” When asked about this 

Griggs said “we have a great 

captain at the moment but 

going forward it might be an 

opportunity I would consider.” 

In the mean time it’s important 

to gain as much experience as 

possible this season in order to 

hit the ground running in 2012, 

the Tigers will be ready to fight 

from round one next year.

By Matthew Tucker 

If football is a game 

broken down into three basic 

components; winning the ball, 

using the ball, and getting it 

back – then Dane Keenes is 

doing it all. 

He isn’t intimidated by 

anyone, nor is he easily 

flustered or concerned about 

how he’s viewed. He’s just 

a country kid eager to play 

footy each week. 

Keenes’ football 

features some of 

the best elements of 

the Australian game 

– aggression, skill, 

strength and class 

flowing through it. 

It is credit to 

20-year-old Keenes 

that, in the past few 

months he has let 

his football do the 

talking. 

Quiet and reserved off the 

field, Keenes’ persona change 

once he runs onto the ground 

is dramatic; morphing into the 

hard nut midfielder he is now 

known to be. 

Keenes is the sort of player 

whose genius lies in his 

ability (and courage) to find, 

win and then dispose of the 

ball. 

He can push a contested ball 

into space for Eastlake’s 

swarm of runners to pounce, 

like a bloke opening a bag of 

helium balloons and watching 

them head skyward. 

Such players make the 

biggest difference. 

He became the sort of player 

who reads the game, works 

the angles, finds space and 

hunts the ball. And through 

his hard work ethic, has 

becoming better at performing 

the skills he needed to be 

that sort of player. 

Keenes’ role at Eastlake has 

been critical to its improvement 

over the second half of 

the season. He is an extractor 

at stoppages, a clean centresquare 

player who can also 

force the ball forward under 

pressure. He would keep his 

feet in a raging river and his 

tackles stick. 

Although everyone 

knows that winning 

centre clearance is 

critical, particularly 

with the forward 

press capable of 

trapping the ball 

inside 50, those who 

are specialists 

inside that space are 

pivotal. 

Still only young, Keenes 

has played the majority of 

the season in the seniors, 

and is one of many players 

responsible for securing 

Eastlake a spot in the finals 

come September.

IF FOOTBALL IS A GAME 

BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE 

BASIC COMPONENTS; 

WINNING THE BALL, USING 

THE BALL, AND GETTING IT 

BACK THEN DANE KEENES 

IS DOING IT ALL.

BELCONNEN’S 

100 CLUB 

On the back of the 

Belconnen Football 

Club celebrating 

its 40th anniversary, 

Belconnen held their 

one-hundred-game 

dinner last weekend. 

The club inducted five players 

into their record books; 

Third grader’s Heath Axelby 

and Sam Danaher, Fourth 

Grader’s Jeremy Walker 

and Glenn Horsburgh and 

Woman’s league player Mercia 

Smith were all honoured for 

having made their 100-game 

milestone this year. 

Smith has been at the Magpies 

for ten years and believes the 

fact that Belconnen recognises 

milestones such as these and 

for the ladies in the Woman’s 

league it’s a great thing to 

aspire to. 

“It’s a milestone that not many 

females that play football 

would reach and I guess for me 

… it’s good that the club has 

these milestones ... so even if 

you play football just for the 

fun of it, it’s a milestone you 

can reach without having to 

be the best in the team or play 

representative football,” Smith 

said. 

Smith, like so many others 

at Belconnen, says she has 

stayed with the Magpies 

for a decade because of the 

friendships she has built at the 

club. “It’s a really great club to 

be a part of,” Smith said. 

Smith acknowledges that 

without the support of the 

Belconnen club, playing 

woman’s football 

would not be as 

enjoyable. 

“There is a lot of support 

by the club which 

you don’t often get in a 

lot of female sports… 

they involve the girls in 

all their functions and 

the support they give 

the guys they try and 

give the girls as well. But 

just having a coach, 

a trainer and a manager that 

the club supports in their roles, 

really makes being a player 

easy and it makes showing up 

and doing what you can easy as 

well,” Smith said. 

In other club news, 

Belconnen have 

launched their ‘Kick 

in 4 Kippax’ 

fundraiser. 

The club is looking 

for larger sponsors 

to donate to the Club 

for help in making 

the new Kippax Oval 

just that little more 

professional. 

As a part of the redevelopment, 

the club will receive a 

new ground, dressing sheds, 

canteen & kitchen facilities, 

medical rooms and offices. 

All of which will be funded by 

the government. However, 

there are many things which 

the grant does not include: 

coaches boxes and electronic 

score boards for example will 

need to be funded by the club 

itself. 

So get on board and chip in 

to make your club the best it 

can be.

UMPIRE PROFILE 

Today we profile 

Glen Swan or “G-bus” 

as he is well known. 

He looks after our 

Green Shirt and 2nd 

year Field umpires; up 

to U/16’s. 

An active member of the 

coaching staff combined with 

his NEAFL and AFL Canberra 

umpiring commitments he is a 

valuable team member of the 

Umpiring Group. 

His coaching is on developing 

Field Umpires early skills and 

introducing them to umpiring. 

The support and encouragement 

Swan gives is a testament to his 

strong and welcoming character. 

Swan is also Vice President 

of the AFL Canberra Umpires 

Association and can often be 

seen assisting in many areas as 

is needed. 

Name: Glen Swan 

Age: 30 

Discipline and 

number: 

Field Umpire #39 

What got you 

involved in umpiring? 

My Dad was a goal umpire 

with the umpiring group in 

Queensland. Dad went on to 

umpire what was then VFL/ 

AFL reserves, and then he 

became the club umpire for my 

junior footy club in Brisbane. 

During adolescence, I had some 

time away from playing footy 

due to reoccurring injuries. I 

originally started umpiring as a 

way to preserve match fitness. 

However, once I got to university, 

it also provided me with some 

extra money to help me on my 

way. 

What made you 

continue in umpiring? 

Although I was playing football 

throughout my teenage years 

and my twenties, I always found 

myself coming back to umpiring 

for one reason or another. When 

a knee reconstruction put an end 

to my playing days, umpiring 

was a way for me to keep giving 

something to football. I really 

enjoy running and being able 

to contribute to the football 

community. 

What success have 

you gained from 

umpiring? 

Self discipline; I have always 

enjoyed training, but training 

to umpire a game of Australian 

football properly is a real mental 

and physical challenge. I have 

had to be self disciplined with my 

approach to learning the laws 

of the game, committing to a 

training schedule and continuing 

to challenge myself with 

self-improvement strategies. 

Additionally, I have a role 

assisting with junior umpiring 

development in Canberra. I get a 

lot of enjoyment being involved 

with the learning and development 

of umpires who are new to 

the game. 

What is your ambition 

in umpiring? 

As long as the body cooperates I 

aim to continue to umpire at the 

highest level in accordance with 

my capabilities. 

A personal ambition is to trial for 

AFL level football before 2013. 

A football community ambition 

is to continue to inspire young 

umpires to stick with umpiring. 

Would you recommend 

umpiring to 

your friends? 

Yes, umpiring is great because it 

provides so many opportunities 

for personal development. A lot 

of my friends are always looking 

for ways to, for instance, train for

GIANTS v Belconnen 

The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS will be looking 

for their fifth win in a row this Saturday when they 

take on the Belconnen Magpies at Robertson Oval in 

Wagga at 12pm. 

After defeating NT Thunder, Tuggeranong, the Sydney 

Swans Reserves and Brisbane Lions Reserves, 

the young guns are storming towards the NEAFL 

finals with the club’s biggest ever winning streak. 

Sheedy is spreading the GIANT word 

GIANTS head coach Kevin Sheedy, along with a 

number of GIANTS staff members was in the Central 

West last week, spreading the club’s word around 

our zone. The GIANTS were on a quest to find the 

first AFL player from the area. Sheedy said that a 

rousing welcome from 350 kids at St Marys Primary 

dressed in orange and singing ‘Up there Cazaly’ was 

something he has never experienced in his life.

full strength, Eastlake has the chance to be very 

competitive come finals time in all grades.

QUEANBEYAN TIGERS 

SYDNEY SWANS 


The Tigers may have been defeated by NEAFL 

Northern Conference team Southport but they were far 

from disgraced. The young Tigers outfit gained plenty 

of praise from their opponents as they battled the 

game through to the final siren conceding goals in the 

time on period of the third and fourth quarters which 

blew the final score out in the Shark’s favour. 

Southport fielded an experience team with a sprinkling 

of former AFL, VFL and other players from major 

leagues across Australia. In perfect conditions with 

temperatures hovering around the 22 degree mark 

they used their home ground (and the weather) to 

advantage posting a 67 point win. They posted the 

first three goals of the game - against the wind - and 

looked likely to post a high score against the visiting 

team. It was not to be. 

The Club would like to express its sincere thanks to the 

Southport Sharks for their hospitality during the day 

(especially the after match refreshments) and to the 

many supporters who travelled the distance to witness 

the Tigers first ever competition match in Queensland. 

A number of former premiership / grand final players 

made the journey to witness the Tigers first ever 

competition game in Queensland. They included: 

Jamie Andriske, Michael Kennedy, Jason Gilbert, triple 

Premiership Coach James Dore, Peter Bowyer, Chris 

Davis, David Hunter and Tony Innaimo. 

Our appreciation to the volunteers who also travelled 

including Fred Gisik, Gary Bullivant, Chrissy Craven, 

Doug Daniel, Michael Goiser, Pete Jensen, Wally 

Thompson, Rowan Johnstone, Paul James, Danny 

Rutten, Matt Napier and Ray Daniel – many at their 

own expense. Also to our Queensland connections 

- the Dickinsons, Jason Satchell and the family 

members of Matt Napier who assisted on the day. 

Special mention to the Officiating Umpires who 

performed strongly throughout the game. 

Congratulations to Michael Wescombe who played 

his 150th Club game last Saturday. This is his second 

milestone this year having played his 100th 1st 

Grade game recently. He along with other milestone 

achievers will be recognised at the Tigers 100 Club 

function on 27 August along with members of the 

1991 1st Grade premiership team attending the 20 

year reunion.
