<strong>West</strong>onians Report & 40th Year Celebration<br />
The <strong>West</strong>onians Committee for <strong>2011</strong> was<br />
Graeme Barton, President, Tony Davidson,<br />
Vice President, Kerry Carn, Secretary, Nick<br />
Diasinas , Treasurer, Committee Members,<br />
John Pirakis, John Flanigan, David Saint,<br />
Bernie Conlen, Chris Higgins, Troy Abbott,<br />
Craig Lewis and Jim Diamanti.<br />
<strong>2011</strong> was the 40th Anniversary of the<br />
<strong>West</strong>onians after being established in<br />
1971. From a room under the grandstand<br />
to a transportable building. Then in 1981<br />
with the addition to the <strong>Football</strong>er’s <strong>Club</strong>,<br />
the transportable building was sold by<br />
the <strong>West</strong>onians and with a massive fund<br />
raising effort $60,000 was paid for the<br />
<strong>West</strong>onians rooms as it currently sits. In<br />
1994 major alterations were made to the<br />
<strong>West</strong>onians lounge.<br />
To commemorate the 40th year, the Committee<br />
decided that a new honour board<br />
would be erected to note the individual<br />
years of elected office bearers of the Committee,<br />
Life Members and 10 year Committee<br />
service.<br />
Life Members Jack Smith and Reg<br />
Henderson unveiled the honour roll at the<br />
AGM.<br />
This year, the Committee awarded Life<br />
Member ship to Clive Sperling (posthumously),<br />
and this was accepted by his son Paul<br />
Sperling. Clive joins other Life Members of<br />
the <strong>West</strong>onians including Reg Henderson,<br />
Jack Smith, Norm Hay, John Pirakis, Nick<br />
Diasinas, Kerry Carn and John Flanigan.<br />
The <strong>West</strong>onians have raised in excess of<br />
$1 million over the 40 years for the WAFC.<br />
This year, the <strong>West</strong>onians sponsored Ben<br />
Macreadie, provided best player vouchers<br />
for the U/18’s and U/16’s, (this has been<br />
done for years), and provided silver goblets<br />
and a plaque to James Ezard and Daniel<br />
Caire who reached their 100 league games<br />
milestone. We also presented the Keith<br />
Reynolds Memorial Trophy for the best first<br />
year player to come up through the ranks<br />
to Chris Bonney.<br />
The <strong>West</strong>onians have raised and donated<br />
money towards the electronic scoreboard,<br />
computers for players to review game<br />
video, the decking outside the Mound Bar<br />
and the provision of new air conditioning for<br />
the players change room area. This year,<br />
the <strong>West</strong>onians also funded the new carpet<br />
in the upstairs ball room.<br />
I would like to thank Steve Morris for his<br />
liaison role between the <strong>West</strong>onians and<br />
players and his role in the after match<br />
interviews.<br />
This year the <strong>West</strong>onians donated<br />
$36,718.95 to the WAFC.<br />
A big thank you to the Committee for the<br />
hard work and organisational skills in<br />
raising this amount.<br />

Past <strong>Players</strong> & Officials Report<br />
<strong>2011</strong> has been another successful year<br />
for the WAFCPPO group. This being<br />
a social group for our <strong>Club</strong>, we have<br />
enjoyed a year of several functions and<br />
get-togethers.<br />
The Committee, led by President Jim<br />
Wright, put their heads together to focus<br />
on the future and the development of<br />
the WAFCPPO group, moving to the<br />
stadium room on the North <strong>West</strong> corner<br />
of the ground for home match days.<br />
Again we had numerous folk through<br />
our WAFCPPO room for half time social<br />
fellowship.<br />
On March 30th <strong>2011</strong>, WAFCPPO midweek<br />
raffles were launched at 6pm on<br />
Wednesday’s. We thank Rick Pink for<br />
his hard work and support in running our<br />
raffles. We also extend a big thank you to<br />
Vice President Steve Rechner together<br />
with Rick Pink in hosting interviews with<br />
Past <strong>Players</strong> and Officials each week.<br />
Also we especially thank Pat Sexton<br />
and Lorna Hitchcock for their ongoing<br />
support.<br />
WAFCPPO hosted three of our home<br />
match days in the “Stadium Room” to<br />
mark the beginning of the relocation of<br />
our WAFCPPO group to the deck and<br />
mound area of the field.<br />
The Ken Eglinton Medal was presented<br />
to James Ezard. We thank <strong>Adelaide</strong><br />
Galvanising Industries for their sponsorship<br />
of the Medal.<br />
Bernie Conlen kept our promotional<br />
DVD’s on screen in the WAFC <strong>Club</strong><br />
rooms; a great medium to advertise and<br />
promote our functions and show player<br />
profiles; together with footage of football<br />
game highlights.<br />
In <strong>2011</strong> WAFCPPO group sponsored<br />
league player, Jack Carter. At the <strong>Club</strong><br />
Presentation night, Michael Minuzzo was<br />
awarded the Knott/Mitchell Memorial<br />
Scholarship sponsored by the WAFCPPO<br />
group.<br />
WAFCPPO group extends our most<br />
sincere condolences to all families of<br />
WAFCPPO members that have died in<br />
<strong>2011</strong>. Our thoughts and condolences go<br />
out to the family of David Lee, one of our<br />
valued Committee Members.<br />
On September 16th <strong>2011</strong> the WAFCPPO<br />
hosted their annual dinner. This night<br />
celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the<br />
1961 Premiership and the players of<br />
the late 1980’s and early 1990’s era.<br />
WAFC folk travelled from all across<br />
Australia to join together for a fun filled<br />
evening. The night was started with<br />
Trevor Reu stating his pride in being a<br />
WAFC player. He is the last remaining<br />
Minister with any SANFL club and we<br />
are honoured to have him join us each<br />
year. The guest speakers for the night<br />
were Mark Mickan, Robbie McKinnon<br />
and Shaun Rehn. Craig Bennetts and<br />
Paul Patterson interviewed Grantley<br />
Fielke, Leon Grosser and John Ryan<br />
with the roving microphones. The night<br />
was also filled with entertainment led by<br />
comedian Dave Flanagan. We especially<br />

Historian’s Report<br />
This year we have posted all of our<br />
players from <strong>1897</strong> on our website with<br />
their league debut date and unique debut<br />
number. The lockers in the player change<br />
rooms are complete with correct league<br />
details and we have also printed in our<br />
annual report for the first time, correct<br />
player details for those who have made it<br />
to the 100 game milestones and added to<br />
our war Veteran’s list.<br />
Presently, I have researched all South<br />
Australian State games from 1879-1975<br />
and by this time next year, will have<br />
revised and printed a list of all <strong>West</strong><br />
<strong>Adelaide</strong> representatives in time for the<br />
2012 State <strong>Game</strong>.<br />

Donations<br />
Throughout the year, we have had donations<br />
from members for which we are<br />
grateful. Some members have lent items<br />
which we have copied for our archives<br />
while other members have given their<br />
time with various projects. We are desperate<br />
to source club annual reports for<br />
seasons 1915, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926,<br />
1930, 1931 & 1943 so we can digitise<br />
our collection.
