Meetings<br />
The AFL Victoria Community <strong>Football</strong><br />
Development Department provides avenues<br />
where all <strong>Victorian</strong> football affi liates can<br />
come together to improve the collective<br />
football environment of state. To this end<br />
a collaborative approach from all <strong>Victorian</strong><br />
stakeholders can only improve the game at all<br />
levels for the betterment of the game going<br />
forward<br />
AFL Victoria Rules Committee<br />
Regular meetings are held, as required, to<br />
address operational and rule related matters<br />
which affect all AFLV affi liates. The WorkSafe<br />
<strong>VCFL</strong> sits on this committee to represent<br />
the views of all Senior and Junior <strong>League</strong><br />
affi liates.<br />
The <strong>Football</strong> Operations Department wishes<br />
to thank the leagues and clubs for their<br />
continued support and enthusiasm, for without<br />
you there is no game.<br />
To the Board of the WorkSafe <strong>VCFL</strong>, Senior<br />
Management and Staff, well done on keeping<br />
one another focussed on the task at hand,<br />
servicing rural and regional country football<br />
affi liates, for without clubs, umpire groups and<br />
leagues there is no WorkSafe <strong>VCFL</strong>.<br />
I would personally like to take this opportunity<br />
to acknowledge Brett Anderson, Ben O’Brien,<br />
John O’Donohue and Bruce Petering our<br />
WorkSafe <strong>VCFL</strong> Area Managers for their<br />
dedication to their vast areas of responsibility,<br />
in fulfi lling their roles they enable the<br />
operational arm of the organisation to function<br />
as smoothly as possible – well done guys.<br />
I would also like to recognise Steven Reaper<br />
(CEO) who since Glenn Scott’s resignation in<br />
May of this year has displayed outstanding<br />
leadership, direction and focus to the<br />
organisation in trying circumstances, yet at<br />
all times acting in the best interests of the<br />
WorkSafe <strong>VCFL</strong> and its affi liates.<br />
The game will always be “a game for the<br />
people”, we all need to strive to do the best<br />
we possibly can, in whatever capacity and<br />
whatever circumstances confront us, with the<br />
goal of leaving football in a better shape than<br />
when we found it.<br />
In closing, we look forward to working with<br />
you again in 2012 for the further development<br />
of country football.<br />
