<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 />

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 />

to source club annual reports for<br />

seasons 1915, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926,<br />
