Players to the mecu Ballarat FNL
for the 2011 season, and a very
warm welcome back to all
current players, spectators and
administrators.
The pre season build up is a long one for players and
Coach’s, and also places an enormous strain on Club
administrators, and I can say with some certainty that they
will all breathe a sigh of relief when they put all the pre
season behind them and the ball finally bounces for the
2011 season – and the enjoyable stuff starts !
The 2011 season promises to be very exciting, with some
high quality and profile players joining the league. We are
also hosting some exciting “events” in 2011 which include:

that won the VCFL Division 1 Championship in 1981, 1982 &
1983.
• We have also expanded our multimedia section on the
BFL website (that now has over 6 million hits p.a !) to include
full coverage of all Senior games for the previous 3 rounds.
We have again been overwhelmed with the support given
to the mecu Ballarat FNL in the off season, with many new
business’s choosing to support the league, and we owe
much gratitude to all our Sponsors, who you will see
advertised throughout the program. Whilst we do
appreciate the support of all BFL Sponsors, I do wish to
make special mention of new Major Sponsors BetEzy, R&J
Batteries, Widdison Building Services, Scott’s Petroleum,
Laser Electrical, Bunnings, Southern Cross Business
Machines, Gallagher Bassett, Bronson Hot Dog’s and
Country Racing Victoria– with several other arrangements
still under negotiation.
The league hosted our 2011 Season Launch at Saxon
House last night (Friday night 8th April), with over 120
people attending our biggest ever Season Launch, and we
thank all those who got along to support what was a great
event and who helped us kick off the season in style ! It was

MESSAGE FROM THE WORKSAFE VCFL Shayne WardTHE INTERLEAGUE EXPERIENCE: V/LINE CUP
At the time of writing, we are in the thick of the V/Line Cup
Under 15 Carnival at various venues in and around
Melbourne including, for the first time, 5 games played
regionally on Saturday and Sunday to kick off the 2011 Cup
in Ballarat and Bendigo.
Nearly 550 of the best Under 15 footballers from across the
VCFL have represented their region and have now
returned to their home clubs for matches this weekend.
Some 272 WorkSafe VCFL clubs have been represented by
players across the carnival.
A few of the fortunate (and deserving) ones would have
returned home as Divisional champions after holding the
trophy aloft after the Final day’s play. It is a trophy steeped
in history. The engraving on the Divisional 1 Cup goes back
to 1949, where it is engraved that the Goulburn Valley won
the inaugural carnival.
From then until now, every football region of the state is
represented on it. The mind boggles at 62 years of tradition
and football pedigree engraved on that cup, of the bush
legends and those that went on to great heights in the
VFL/AFL that have played in those teams.
History shows that nearly 60% of the players in the 2011
V/Line Cup will get a chance to join with TAC teams over
the next few years, and from there, to the national Under
18 teams and a chance to be drafted through the
National Draft Camp into the AFL.
This year we have seen Gippsland V/Line Cup
representative Dyson Heppell stamp himself on the AFL at
Essendon as a first year player. Bulldog Andrew Hooper is
a two time V/Line Cup representative. Current captains
Luke Hodge and Jonathan Brown were V/Line Cup players.
Joel Selwood, Steele Sidebottom, Shaun Higgins and
Patrick Dangerfield are AFL stars that got their first chance
to impress at the V/Line Cup.
We have no doubt that all the young players in the 2011
V/line Cup will return home with football memories and
valuable experiences that they can both cherish and pass
onto their team mates and clubs.
For many footballers, the experience of interleague
football may rank as the highest achievement in their
playing memories. The chance to join the best players in
the competition to take on a common opponent is a
special experience as a sportsman. The experience –
whether you are an Under 15 V/Line Cup player or a Senior
State player has a similar impact.
Every representative player could describe the nerves as
they wandered into the change rooms for the first time and
meet those guys that have been opponents up to that
point; the feeling as you come together in a huddle before
a new coach as a group for the first time; the sense you
get as the ball flicks around at training and you notice the
rise in the tempo and intensity.
It may be hard to quantify the value in watching how other
guys prepare themselves for the matches and how they go
the extra mile to get the best out of themselves, but it is a
common thought we hear from players after their
representative campaigns.
The next time you meet your ‘teammates’ it is likely to be
as opponents again on your home ground. You can’t help
it, but win, lose or draw you have a connection with these
guys – and you will have this for the rest of your playing
days.
We congratulate all the players, coaches and support staff
that has made the 2011 V/Line Cup Carnival such a
success; we wish you all the best for the rest of your football
seasons. We hope that we will see you progress through
the interleague program of the WorkSafe VCFL in the years
to come. We also say the same for all the WorkSafe VCFL
umpires that have had the honour of officiating at the 2011
V/Line Cup.
The next WorkSafe VCFL representative feature will be the
WorkSafe Country Championships which will be played
across the VCFL on Saturday May 28th. Go to
www.vcfl.comau to see the fixtures.

CYBERSAFETY – A MODERN CONUNDRUM
Barely a week goes by these days when we do notsee the trials and repercussions of posts, tweets,texts and comments in the online world having aserious effect on the wellbeing of individuals andorganisations. At the time of writing we read of theState Government considering significant criminalpenalties for cyberbullying and stalking.Whether it be cyberbullying directed towardschildren in the schoolyard, parties getting out ofcontrol due to gatecrashers, people losing theiremployment due to careless Facebook or Twitterposts, and of course, the more famous incidenceswe see that have befallen AFL and other sportingstars who use new communications devicesinappropriately – the risks and potential damagefrom new technology is a real and presentconundrum.The mobile phone and the home computer haveopened up a brand new world of communicationsthat has far reaching benefits to us all – but also hasfair level of risk in the mix as well. The WorkSafe VCFLhas in recent seasons experienced the misuse ofvarious forms of social media extending into oursporting environment.
It has become clear that the misuse, and a generallack of education about the pitfalls of technologyis required by society in general, and in ourexperience, by those that play and administerfootball in the WorkSafe VCFL. The WorkSafe VCFLhas been required to deal with an increasingnumber of cases in which our members areaggrieved and have been vilified in the content ofposts, texts, and blogs.
With this in mind, the VCFL engaged Susan McLeanof Cyber Safety Solutions to develop a cyber safetypolicy that would help to protect our members frominappropriate behavior and to provide a processfor members to file complaints.
Susan McLean is Australia’s foremost expert in thearea of cyber safety and young people and was amember of Victoria Police for 27 years. Widelyknown as the ‘Cyber Cop’ she was the first VictoriaPolice Officer appointed to a position involvingCybersafety and young people. Susan has beenworking closely with the AFL on their educationprogram for players on cybersafety to educate andminimise the risks and harm that this type ofcommunication can cause.
The VCFL Board has determined to take the sameview of inappropriate online material as any otheractivity that, during the playing of a game, would
result in disciplinary action.
Cyberbullying includes, but is not limited to, thefollowing misuses of technology: harassing, teasing,intimidating, racially vilifying or threatening anotherperson by sending or posting inappropriate orhurtful messages, instant messages, text messages,phone messages, digital pictures or images, or webpostings (including social networking sites andforums) and the sending, receiving and possessionof naked or sexually explicit images of a person.Club members must also be aware that postingsfrom their individual accounts, whether done bythemselves or another person will remain theresponsibility of the account owner. We have heardfirst hand that some people have divulged theirpasswords and account details to other peopleand friends – we strongly discourage this andremind them of how risky this action could be.
If a WorkSafe VCFL member feels they have beenthe victim of such misuse of technology in thesporting environment, it is recommended they saveand store the material on their computer or phone.They should then print a copy of the material andimmediately report the incident to the relevant clubor league representative.
All reports will be investigated fully in accordanceto VCFL Rule 5.0. Any proven charges willautomatically lead to a minimum 2 matchsuspension for a registered player, or if by a nonplaying member, a penalty as determined by theLeague. Players charged with these types ofoffences for a second or subsequent time will facederegistration.
The issue of cyberbullying and cybersafety is beingtaken very seriously by the WorkSafe VCFL, and theimplementation of this policy, along with educationsessions across the state, will be central in furtherfostering a culture of respect and care across oursport.
We call on all players, parents and officials tocarefully read the VCFL Cybersafety Policy andopenely discuss the issue with their family, clubmembers and supporters.
Technology is part of our everyday lives and themisuse of such, whether it is intentional of not, willnot be accepted by the WorkSafe VCFL.
For further information and advice, please call theVCFL Training Manger, Dean Rice on 03) 8341 6081.

CLUB NOTES
With Round 2 done and dusted round 1 sees the Ballarat
Swans play host to our old rivals in Redan FNC. Coming off
a win in round 2 will give the Ballarat Swans confidence
going into the season opener….confused yet. All today’s
Netball and football will prove to be great contests.
Football: Last week in very trying conditions the Ballarat
Swans were able to overcome an East Point challenge
which threatened the swan’s advantage at the final break.
However the Swans put pay to any challenge with early
goals and went on to record a confidence building win.
The reserves commenced well with players finding targets
and applying pressure to their opponents. This intensity
dropped off however in the second and third quarters and
allowed East Point to get on top. The last quarter was
entertaining with the Swans getting back into the game
with early goals. However the final siren beat them.
The U18.5 enjoyed the best part of the day which allowed
for long kicking and good marking skills but for some reason
goals were hard to come buy. East Point has always been
difficult to beat and today was no exception. There was
nothing between the two sides for the first three quarters but
East Point found a way to goals and were able to come
away with the win.
Netball: The Netball fraternity could not be more pleased
with their start to the 2011 season. All
grades with the exception of the
seniors recorded good wins. By all
accounts the seniors took it up to their
more fancied opponents and it wasn’t until late in the last
term that East Point got in front and stayed there until the
final bell. Today’s games will not be easy against Redan, but
the swans have the talent to take the four games.
Around the Club: Memberships are now available please
contact John Smith, Rob James or Colin Duffy for
Membership enquiries.
After the game today all are invited back to the Social Club
for drinks and afterwards enjoy a meal from Kate’s Kitchen.
Today the BFNC will be announcing new Major Sponsors for
the 2011 season at a sponsor’s luncheon prior to the main
game.
Social News: Player’s Auction tonight commencing from
7.30pm. All players and netballers will be placed in lots and
auctioned off to the highest bidder. Even if you are not
interested in bidding come along and enjoy a great social
night. I can ensure you the auction booklet will be worth the
read alone.

This year in the BFL Senior Football Competition, a Goal &
Mark of the Year will be awarded.
While you are watching the BFL Seniors on the weekend, if
you believe you have seen a Mark or Goal of the Year
Welcome back for Season 2011! Today the Red Lion Kangaroos will take on the reigning BFLPremiers from 2010, Lake Wendouree. It will be a tussle onboth the field and the court and both our senior footballand netball teams will be out to prove they can match itwith the two best teams of last season. Our first twilightmatch last week proved a huge success with a good crowdand a lot of support from our members after the game –hope to see you all back in the rooms again tonight.Football: A disappointing final few minutes saw the seniorsgo down to the Swans last week in what had been anexciting and close match. New recruits Bilton and Drehershowed why they are at the club, as too did former U18.5player Brad Whittaker. The Reserves had a very good winwith John Robinson having a good day out kicking 6 goals.The Under 18.5’s after some poor kicking for goal got on topof Ballarat and scored themselves a very good win. Netball: Only one win last week from our senior team wasn’tthe way we wanted to start the season, so all four teams willbe out today to make amends. The seniors were very goodbut will need to be at their very best when they take on theLakers today. The matches over the past two yearsbetween these two teams have been first class games ofnetball, so get down to the court to watch and cheer thegirls on. New line ups in both the Reserve and C Gradeteams will have very tough matches today and althoughneither had a win last week, they have potential for good
improvement over the coming weeks.The U18.5’s didn’t play at their bestgoing down to a very strong Ballaratunit by 10 goals but we will seesomething different from them today.Thursday Night Teas: They’re back bigger and better thanbefore! We welcome all members, supporters, players,family and friends to a great night of good food and goodcompany. Doors open at 5.30pm.Memberships/Sponsorships: We encourage all Kangasupporters to take out a membership for Season 2011.

The Bloods have been fortunate to attract some new
recruits to the club and we welcome them and their families
to Maccy Park. On the Coaching side, Raaky is in for his third
year as our senior coach and makes no secret that the goal
is to play finals football in 2011. Bob Heaney has taken over
as the reserves coach and Gunny has taken up the role of
Under 18.5 coach.
The netball girls under the able
direction of Amy have recruited well
and strong teams will be fielded in all
sides. Willtrans have once again been
to the fore in the support of the netball girls and we thank
them for their generousity.
We also have a number of new team managers this season
and they will be seeking assistance from parents and
supporters in filling roles such as time keeping and
interchange stewards which are vital to the efficient running
of the club. We ask players and supporters to make the
team Managers job easy by volunteering for jobs when
asked.
All players are reminded that memberships are now due

delighted to accept your money.
Also please keep an eye out for our social calendar which
promises an entertaining season.

CLUB NOTES
A great start to the season by the youngPanthers on Saturday Night. A nightmatch to kick the season off is a littledifferent to the norm, but something weneed to get used to as 5 of our first 6
games are either night or twilight.I started off the day with a quick visit to Bakers Delight for some preEaster Hot Cross Buns. Best Hot Cross Bun going around, and I knowMick and Mark will appreciate the compliment as they do it hardwith 1.00 am starts to get them just right. Headed home andplayed with the kids on the new PS3 from The Good Guys. I thenhad to drop off the car for a service at Melton Toyota, but still hadtime for lunch at Q Lounge before heading down to theclubrooms.The girls battled hard in the netball, but unfortunately couldn't getover the line. The rain wasn’t easing and it look slippery under footas the panthers tried desperately hard to claw their way back into the games. The Devils were just too strong in all grades.My expertise lies in football, so headed over to watch the Under18's. A great start by the boys, and they were able to record acomfortable 30 point win. Sean Blake is a talent, and his firstquarter was fantastic. Keep up the good work boys. The reserveswas a struggle from the outset. A number of injuries at this time ofyear is not helped by players unavailable through travel and work.We also had a couple of late withdrawals through illness. Thanksto some old fellas filling in, and also to the Under 18's who doubledup. The end result was a 56 point loss. The Devils were too strongover ball and out played our young cubs.The general consensus around the traps was that Melton SouthSeniors were going to struggle all year and perhaps not win agame. After the first 10 minutes of football, those predictionsseemed to be on the money, with Darley 4 goals to 0 in front. We
were able to stem the flow and go in at 1/4 time trailing by 4 goals.No real structural changes at 1/4 time, just instructions to attackthe footy and support your team mates. The 2nd quarter waswhere we gained belief we could be competitive. Although wedidn't make inroads on the scoreboard, we started to win the footyand be competitive in general play. Notman controlled the backline and provided plenty of attack deep into the forward line.The 3rd quarter was another good effort. Kusta was leading byexample in the middle, with good support from Dougie and Ash.The forwards were working much better and Rex was giving us amobile target. The often over looked 1%s by Train, Massive, Deanoand Juz provided scoring opportunities. Sutts was in vintage formleading up hard giving us a target. While Rhys and Tolly were ontop down back, and young Boofa Hibbert showed his class bytaking a strong contested pack mark and steadying the ship. Wewere on top in general play and within a goal at 3 quarter time.We finished the last quarter full of run, a credit to our fitness coachStuart Hinks. The on-ballers were getting first hands on the ball, andthe forwards continued to work well for each other. Draca andLuber worked well through the middle, and the backs totally shutout the dangerous Darley forwards. The crowd from Bay 13gradually gained voice, and went bananas when we hit the front.The boys pressed on, and came home with a well deserved win.The atmosphere in the rooms was fantastic as it had been anumber of years since we have beaten Darley. It was mentionedto the players after the game that we have now set a level ofperformance that will be expected week in and week out. Onewin does not make a season.This week we take on our cross town rivals the Bloods. It’s alwaysa tough encounter for all sides and the first we look for when thefixtures are handed out. Good luck to all teams competing today.
Season 2011 sees significant changes at the SunburyFootball Netball Club. The club would wish to acknowledgethe efforts during 2010 of the outgoing committee led bypresident Michael Wootton, along with that of retiring seniorcoach Mark Power and under 18 coach BrendanTrebilcock. This year, Phil Lithgow takes on the role ofpresident of the club and the club welcomes senior coachRick Horwood and under 18 coach Mick Kohler to the club.Rob Styles continues as Reserves coach.
On the playing side the club welcomes back Jay Cheepafter a couple of seasons in South Australia as well as CamMcCabe and Zane Williams along with new players DavidKovacevic Dale Cuinik and Michael Coleman. The exodusof a number of players from the club during the summerseason has provided an opportunity to the youngermembers of the club to play senior football and the clubpractice matches against Moama, Aberfeldie and Sunshineprovided a change for these players to push for seniorselection as well as allowing the new coaches toexperiment with different game plans. The form shown bya number of players in these practice matches has beenencouraging and it looks like there will be some difficultnights at the selection table this year as the club looksforward to improving upon its final performances of lastyear.
A successful club needs to have aband of loyal financial members andthose who support the club areencouraged to become financialmembers of the club. There are anumber of different membership packages available, andinterested supporters should see treasurer Ron Ferrari or anycommittee member to find out more information aboutthese packages.
The social side is also an important part of any club and anumber of social function have been planned including; Tonight - Calcutta/Players AuctionSaturday April 30th - Golden Lion Presentation NightSaturday May 21st - Past Players FunctionSaturday July 16th - Last Man Standing FunctionSaturday August 6th - Reserves and Netballers LuncheonFriday August 2th - Junior/Senior Club BallFriday September 30th - Presentation Night
This week we take on Darley in a match under lights atClarke Oval. This should be an entertaining game followingon from last year's close encounter.
Finally the club is still looking for netball players and coachesso anyone who is interested is asked to contact Phil Lithgow(0418376106)

CLUB NOTES
Last week saw mixed results with the
Devils winning 5 of the 7 contests
against Melton South, with only one
being on the football field.
Playing under lights the Devils senior team played a great
first half leading by six goals midway through the second
quarter. The Panthers came back and ultimately beat the
Devils by 28 points. Best players last week were Harley Inglis,
Sam McAllester, Brad Inglis, Dwayne Edwards and Sam
Hitchings
The Reserves were our only winners in the football defeating
the Panthers by 55 points. Shaun Deckert kicked an
impressive five goals with Dougy Shaw following with two
goals. After being up by 43 points at half time, fatigue
kicked in and the match became a slog. Darley did
enough though to be victorious in the end. Best players
were Chris Young, Kane Stewart, Liam Moody, Rylie
Mayfosh, Ash Mayfosh and Shaun Deckert.
The Under 18’s were simply outplayed against the stronger
Panthers. After half time the Devils came together and
outscored our opposition but unfortunately it was too late.
The Panthers defeated the Devils by 30 points. Best players
were Jarrod Mayfosh, Matt Jones, Todd Delahey, Jordan
Spiteri and Liam Davies.
NETBALL
All of our netballers should be congratulated with their
clean sweep of the board in all games on Saturday against
the Panthers.
The under 18’s started the day with a 34-15 defeat over the
Panthers. Ashby Keep and Ana Kelly lead a strong attack
together Tarni Lopes with an excellent defence helped
keep the Panther’s at bay.
Our C Grade team followed with a 21-19 win over the
Panthers. With Melton South leading by 4 goals at midway
through the 3rd the Devils fought back to win by two goals.
The Reserves followed suit with a winning by 5 goals, 30-25.
The girls worked hard to play as a team. Jodie Hubble gave
great drive through the centre. Sarah and Rylee were
shooting well in the ring. Congratulation to Rylee on playing
her 100th game.
Finally the seniors gave us our biggest win against the
Panthers – 48-15. The team started off strong with Liv and
Brooke playing great defence. The rain slowed play down
a little with a few slips. Alix played really well with plenty of
intercepts throughout the game.

BFUA UMPIRES REPORTThe Ballarat Football Umpires Association (BFUA) looks
forward to the 2011 football season and all its challenges.
Providing umpires to the Ballarat Football League, Central
Highlands Football League and Maryborough
Castlemaine District Football & Netball League will no
doubt be a challenging exercise. It will provide the
opportunity to develop and appoint umpires at three
different levels and football environments.
Throughout the preseason the core umpiring group have
lifted their intensity to far greater levels than in previous
years, aiming to increase overall fitness. Having a higher
level of fitness improves focus, concentration and
decision making resulting in a higher and more consistent
performance.
The BFUA has engaged the Leading Teams model to help
shape it culture and have done extensive preliminary
work with all leagues, coaches and clubs regarding
communication, relationship building and environmental
provision and processes.
Along with the ongoing zero tolerance approach to
umpiring abuse changes in 2011 are the advantage rule,
deliberate out of bounds and heightened protection of
the player regarding head high contact and bumping.
The BFUA have a range of coaches umpiring within the
V/Line Academy (AFL Pathway Program) which is
testament to the increasing depth and abilities within the
BFUA ranks. It is these opportunities that will further
increase the abilities and development of the entire
group. And it’s these developmental opportunities that
will increase the standard of umpiring across the region
the BFUA officiates.
With the appointment of a Director of Umpires, three
specific coaches, a fitness advisor and five umpire
observers for weekend matches the BFUA envisages
continual development throughout the umpiring ranks.
Finally the BFUA wish all leagues, clubs, coaches and
players all the best for a successful 2011 campaign.
Yours in football
