In what has been a big week in footy, this week<br />
saw AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou in Canberra for his<br />
address at the National Press Club. Here he spoke<br />
of the vision and future goals of the AFL and the<br />
opportunities that lay in front of us all to grow our<br />
great game. In a milestone only few have achieved,<br />
Stafford Cooper will play his 250th first grade game<br />
This weekend we see teams from the NEAFL<br />
Eastern Conference travel to yet another city when<br />
Ainslie hosts the Swans in Newcastle. This is a great<br />
opportunity for not only these two teams but also the<br />
Black Diamond Football League who have been great<br />
with their assistance for this match. A good crowd is<br />
expected for this top of the table clash.<br />
AFL CANBERRA WAS ALSO FORTUNATE TO HAVE ANDREW<br />
INTERVIEWED AT OUR WEEKLY MEDIA UPDATE AND FOR<br />
THOSE WHO MAY HAVE MISSED IT ON WIN NEWS<br />
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THE INTERVIEW IS AVAILABLE ON AFL<br />
CANBERRA’S YOUTUBE WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/AFLCANBERRA<br />
in AFL Canberra this weekend when he runs out for<br />
Eastlake. Along the way he has won the Mulrooney<br />
Medal in 1998 and been named All-Australian on<br />
three occasions. At 36, Cooper is still providing a solid<br />
target up forward for Eastlake and no doubt the team<br />
hope to topple the GIANTS this weekend to mark this<br />
special occasion. Congratulations Stafford.<br />
In what should be another close game the high flying<br />
Hawks will play Queanbeyan at Greenway Oval. Only<br />
percentage separates the two teams on the ladder<br />
and after their come from behind win last week, no<br />
doubt the Hawks will be looking to continue their<br />
winning ways as Queanbeyan aim to get back on the<br />
winners list. See you at the footy<br />
