2013: A YEAR IN REVIEW

2013 will be remembered as a watershed

year in the history of the SANFL and South

Australian football.

It was a year which marked the end of an era, with the

40th and final season of elite football at AAMI Stadium.

Since 1974, our West Lakes facility has witnessed

thousands of games in front of millions of people. It has

played its part in some of football’s biggest stories over

that time.

For South Australian football, it has been a home in the

true sense of the word.

And, in what was a fitting send-off, the last three major

events to be held at the stadium – the final AFL match,

the SANFL Grand Final and the Bon Jovi concert – drew

in excess of 130,000 people, proof of the stadium’s ability

to deliver results to the end.

Its legacy – and that of the visionary leaders who were

the authors of its enduring success – will be long and

profound as a future fund for football in South Australia

as we move through the process of redeveloping the

precinct.

The year will also be recorded as a turning point in the

history of the SANFL competition itself, with the SANFL

League Directors voting to enable the Adelaide Football

Club to enter the competition from 2014.

The Port Adelaide Football Club accepted the proposed

terms and conditions for the Magpies to act as an AFL

support team in the SANFL competition in 2014.

In many ways, these decisions – which were reached

through a lengthy and detailed process managed by the

SA Football Commission – are redolent of the courage

shown by the game’s forefathers in taking football to West

Lakes in the early 1970s.

Then, as now, football’s leaders joined together to make a

judgement call they believed was in the best interests of

the game in South Australia. It is the Commission’s belief

that the vision shown by the League Directors in 2013 will

protect the integrity, relevance and viability for the long

term.

The Commission also spent a great deal of energy on the

final transition arrangements for the move to Adelaide

Oval, as well as continued work with the AFL on the

transfer of the two AFL licences.

This work was undertaken against a background of

continued financial prudence in what can only be

described as sustained, tough economic conditions.

Nevertheless, the SANFL continued to oversee strong

growth in the health of the game, with increases in

participation rates at grass roots level.

The development of our next band of elite footballers

was highlighted by South Australia’s breakthrough win

in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and no fewer

than five of our championship players being named as All

Australians.

South Australia again performed strongly at the AFL

National Draft, our senior State League team continued

to assert its presence and there were positive indicators

across all levels of the game, headlined by Port Adelaide’s

return to form.

Even when measured across the League’s 136 year

history, 2014 will bring some remarkable changes to

football in the state.

Not the least of these is the move to Adelaide Oval – a

new home for football in the heart of the CBD and, in

many ways, a new start for the game in South Australia.

It is up to all of us in football at every level to ensure we

work together to maximise this fantastic opportunity –

not just for 2014 but for the generations of young SA

footballers to come.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The SANFL made an underlying profit of $2.13m in 2013

(excluding depreciation, the stadium write-down and

abnormal items). This was a strong result given there

were no AFL finals hosted at AAMI stadium. The result

was largely achieved by implementing a 3% operating

expenditure reduction.

In the 2014 financial year, SANFL will bring an asset onto

its balance sheet that represents the value of the licence

SANFL holds over Adelaide Oval for the Football period.

The licence has been independently valued at $93.5m.

When recognised, the SANFL net asset position will

increase from $27.9m to in excess of $100m. This is the

equivalent of the SANFL net asset position in 2011 prior to

stadium write-downs.

With the decision in 2011 to move to Adelaide Oval, the

stadium value has been written-down each year since.

This has no bearing on the SANFL operating cash surplus

result but reduces the statutory operating result.

These continued (although planned) write-downs in the

value of AAMI Stadium ($8.45m) and grants provided to

PAFC as part of a funding agreement that ended in 2013

contributed to a statutory operating deficit of $12.42m.

The SANFL provided PAFC $2m in 2013 and total grants

of $14.75m in the past five years.

The SANFL achieved a positive net cash flow from

operating activities of $3.8m compared with $1.28m in

2012 and achieved an increase in cash on hand at the end

of the year of $0.49m.

The financial outlook will improve considerably at

Adelaide Oval from 2014. The SANFL and the two AFL

clubs will all achieve a strong financial uplift from the

new stadium. The SANFL will also significantly reduce its

operating costs as it refines its core business model and

ceases to own and operate a stadium which hosts AFL

football.

The financial uplift, along with the proceeds from the sale

of land at AAMI Stadium, will enable the SANFL to reduce

debt levels from 2014.

HEALTH OF THE GAME As the custodian of football in South Australia, the SANFL

oversaw an overall increase in participation across the

State, with more than 113,000 participants involved in 2013.

Involvement at club level across South Australia rose to

more than 45,000.

The number of children aged 5 to 12 playing football

increased by 7.5%, while total Primary and Secondary

school participation increased by 13.5%. There was further

growth in the South Australian Women’s Football League

with participation jumping by 27.5%.

Our junior representative teams had a great year with

the South Australian Under-18 team going through

undefeated to win the National Championships.

Five players - defenders Matt Scharenberg and James

Battersby, midfielders James Aish and Luke Dunstan

and forward Darcy Hourigan - were selected in the All-

Australian team, along with coach Brenton Phillips.

Our Under-16 team finished second in the AFL National

Championships after defeating both Vic Metro and

Western Australia.

The SANFL’s long term commitment to equality received

very public recognition with Eleni Glouftsis becoming

the first female Field Umpire to officiate at State League

level in Australia when she umpired the match between

Glenelg and North Adelaide on August 25. Eleni also

umpired the SANFL Reserves Grand Final.

Our reputation as one of the nation’s great talent pools

was enhanced, with 16 South Australians upgraded or

drafted in the AFL National Draft. Eight players were

selected in the AFL Rookie Draft, an increase on five

chosen in 2012.

South Australia enhanced its standing on the State

League stage with an 82-point win against the NEAFL at

City Mazda Stadium in May.

West Adelaide became the first South Australian team to

win the Foxtel Cup, with a four-point victory over WAFL

rival East Fremantle at AAMI Stadium in August.

AAMI STADIUM AND ADELAIDE OVALIn 2013, we farewelled AAMI Stadium after 40 memorable

years as the home of the game in South Australia.

The SANFL led the way in 1973 when it backed its faith in

our great game to build what was then a state of the art

football complex at West Lakes.

The stadium has been an asset to our game – the heart

of the game in South Australia as well as the sport’s

financial bedrock.

The SANFL, working closely with its partners, ensured it

went out in style.

More than 45,000 witnessed the final AFL match between

Port Adelaide and Carlton while 36,600 watched the

2013 SANFL Grand Final between Norwood and North

Adelaide. In December, more than 50,000 attended the

Bon Jovi concert.

In November, the State Government gazetted the

Development Plan Amendments for the proposed AAMI

Stadium precinct development, allowing the SANFL to

move to the stage of seeking expressions of interest from

developers.

This is the start of the process to ensure the precinct

becomes the future fund for football, underpinning the

next 40 years of football’s success in South Australia.

In late 2013, the SANFL moved much of its management

and administrative function to offices within the Adelaide

Oval with the redeveloped ground preparing to host the

opening round of AFL football in March 2014.

Picture: A crowd of more than 50,000 attended the Bon Jovi

concert at AAMI Stadium in December.

KEY PARTNERSHIPSIn 2013, the SANFL negotiated two new major partnership

agreements that will be integral in maintaining the long-

term health of the League and football in South Australia.

In November, the SANFL announced Independent

Grocers of Australia (IGA) as the new naming rights

partner, with the competition to be known as the SANFL

IGA League from 2014 in a three-year deal.

Seven Network was announced as the SANFL’s preferred

commercial broadcast partner under a three-year

agreement commencing in 2014 with Channel 7 and

McGuire Media.

The League continued to maintain its highly-valued

partnerships with both the corporate and government

sectors in South Australia.

The SANFL’s partnership with Lion entered a new phase

with Lion announced as the exclusive supplier of beer and

cider at Adelaide Oval.

The ten-year, multi-million dollar deal also extends to

sponsorship of the SANFL competition and the SANFL

clubs, including pourage rights at the clubs, continuing a

relationship that now spans more than 60 years.

The League’s partnership with AAMI as naming rights

sponsor of AAMI Stadium was extended, taking us to

the end of 2015. The SANFL would like to acknowledge

AAMI’s tremendous support, which has been an important

factor in enabling us to develop football at all levels over

the past decade.

The SANFL wishes to acknowledge the fantastic support

that Gordon Pickard has provided South Australian

football. Through his generosity and that of major sponsor

Lifestyle SA, the SANFL was able to offer a brand new,

fully furbished home valued at $565,000 as part of The

Greatest Footy Club Raffle of All Time.

Maughan Thiem Ford, Malaysia Airlines, Venture Holidays,

IGA and The Good Guys were also valued supporters of

this initiative.

The Government of South Australia, through the Office of

Recreation & Sport, continued to provide support to the

League in 2013.

Other major partners making a significant contribution

to the League’s operations in 2013 included Coca-Cola

Amatil, McDonald’s, Ford Australia, IGA SA, SA Lotteries,

Balfours, The Good Guys, TAB, Centacare, Burley and Viv

Sports.

SANFL COMPETITIONIn an historic vote, SANFL League Directors resolved in

August to allow a team from the Adelaide Football Club to

enter the SANFL competition.

In a majority 6-2 decision, the League Directors voted

to allow the Adelaide Crows to be the 10th team in

the SANFL competition from 2014 under a 15-year

commitment.

In September, the Port Adelaide Football Club accepted

the proposed terms and conditions for the Magpies to

act as an AFL support team in the SANFL competition in

2014.

The move to expand the SANFL competition protects the

integrity, the relevance, game development and club and

competition viability while also providing the Adelaide and

Port Adelaide football clubs with the second teams they

had been seeking.

The Commission commends the League Directors for

their diligence throughout what was a complex and

detailed process.

Picture: 2013 SANFL Premiership team, Norwood Football Club.

AFL LICENCESThe Commission continued to make progress in

negotiations with the AFL with regard to securing the

best possible outcome concerning the issue of the two

AFL licences.

As it has consistently stated, the Commission remains

committed that a decision on the licences will not come

into effect until football officially moves to the Adelaide

Oval.

AFL The SANFL’s relationship with the AFL remained on a

strong and collaborative footing, with game development

again an area of mutual interest and strength.

AFL Game Development Grants totalled $1.4 million in

2013, monies which were invested in SA-based programs

including AFL Auskick, School and Community football.

AFL Talent Development Fees of approximately $1 million

were also paid to the SANFL and its clubs.

ADELAIDE & PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUBSThe on-field resurgence of the Port Adelaide Football

Club was one of the stories of the AFL in 2013.

Coming off a five-win season the previous year, Port

Adelaide collected 13 victories under new coach Ken

Hinkley to finish seventh before defeating Collingwood in

a memorable Elimination Final at the MCG.

This helped translate into an 8% increase in AFL

attendance for Port Adelaide matches at AAMI Stadium,

including a crowd of 45,127 for the final AFL match at the

venue.

Port Adelaide’s turnaround is due in part to the financial

backing and broader support provided to the club by the

Commission and AFL.

Adelaide Football Club faced many challenges throughout

2013, finishing 11th after being a kick away from the Grand

Final the year before.

The clubs now move to Adelaide Oval with an enormous

opportunity for both financial and scoreboard success.

COMMISSION & EXECUTIVE MOVEMENTSAt the 2013 Annual General Meeting, Mr David Shipway

was reappointed for another term on the SA Football

Commission after the expiry of his existing term.

Mr Simon Rodger was elected for a three year term to

fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr Jamie

Coppins.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSSANFL Executive Commissioner Leigh Whicker’s

outstanding contribution to South Australian football was

recognised in the 2013 Australia Day Honours with Leigh

named as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM).

Leigh, whose unwavering and passionate service to the

game spans close to five decades, was fittingly among

those honoured on January 26.

Membership in 2004, Leigh also acts as the Adelaide

Oval Stadium Management Authority’s honorary Company

Secretary and Executive Director in addition to his role as

League Hall of Fame in June, becoming the 34th South

Australian to be honoured.

The Sturt champion was also among a host of SANFL

greats to be chosen by the SANFL to be honoured at the

Adelaide Oval from 2014.

The names of more than 20 of South Australia’s best,

including John Cahill, Neil Kerley, Mark Ricciuto, Gavin

Wanganeen and Max Basheer, will adorn stands and

facilities at the Adelaide Oval, joining those already to be

honoured with statues at the ground – Malcolm Blight,

Russell Ebert, Ken Farmer and Barrie Robran.

His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR

was once again an outstanding patron of the SANFL and

we thank him for his support.

The ongoing success of the SANFL is a credit to the

experience, expertise and commitment of everyone who

works on behalf of football.

Our thanks go to everyone - from ground and

administration staff through to the executive team and

Commissioners - for the critical role they play in keeping

the SANFL as the custodians of football in South

Australia.

The SANFL celebrated several significant

milestones in season 2013, as the League

continued to strengthen its reputation from a

national perspective.

From South Australia’s breakthrough win in the AFL

Under-18 National Championship to Eleni Glouftsis

becoming the first female field umpire to officiate at state

league level, the League proved its commitment to the

State’s youth in providing them with a pathway to success.

The SANFL reaffirmed it is the most relevant state league

competition in Australia, highlighted by the largest Grand

Final crowd since 1999 (36,685) attending the title decider

between Norwood and North Adelaide.

These memorable moments illustrate the SANFL is well-

placed to build on its position of strength as it ushers in a

new era.

In July, South Australia completed its undefeated run at the

AFL Under-18 National Championship, claiming its first title

since the Under-17 Teal Cup in 1995.

Five players – James Aish, Matthew Scharenberg, James

Battersby, Luke Dunstan and Darcy Hourigan – joined

SANFL High Performance Manager and coach Brenton

Phillips in the Under-18 All-Australian team.

This outstanding achievement was a precursor to having 16

South Australian-based players drafted or upgraded in the

AFL National Draft. A further eight players were selected in

the AFL Rookie Draft, an increase on five chosen in 2012.

Two players – Matthew Scharenberg (Collingwood) and

James Aish (Brisbane) – were selected in the top 10.

In August, Eleni Glouftsis illustrated the SANFL’s

commitment to equality when she officiated in the League

match between North Adelaide and Glenelg at Prospect

Oval. Eleni’s achievement is not only a testament to her

dedication and commitment but also that of the SANFL’s

Umpiring Department, led by Shane Harris.

Congratulations to the Norwood Football Club on winning

consecutive premierships for the first time since 1922-23.

The Redlegs were again the competition’s most dominant

team, losing just three matches en route to defeating

North Adelaide by 40 points at AAMI Stadium. Norwood

also provided the winner of the 2013 Magarey Medal, with

midfielder Matthew Thomas the 11th player based at The

Parade to claim the League’s most prestigious individual

award.

Woodville-West Torrens proved the strength of its entire

operation by winning the Stanley H. Lewis Trophy as the

best performing club. The Eagles were also deserved

premiers in the Reserves and Macca’s Cup Under-18

competitions in 2013.

The West End State Team continued its winning run,

defeating the NEAFL’s Northern Conference by 82 points at

City Mazda Stadium in May. The side was once again well

coached by Michael Godden while Ryan Ferguson earned

recognition for his performance which earned him the Fos

Williams Medal.

An overall increase in participation across the state in 2013

was an encouraging result for the SANFL, with more than

113,000 South Australians involved in the game.

Particularly pleasing was the increase in children playing

Australian Football, with a 7.5% rise in children aged 5 to

12 complemented by 13.5% more children participating at

Primary and Secondary school.

Female participation continues to surge, with the South

Australian Women’s Football League recording a significant

rise of 27.5% compared with 2012.

Season 2013 heralded the SANFL’s appointment of Melanie

Dancer as the first dedicated resource to the League’s

Diversity Programs.

Melanie oversees the SANFL’s Indigenous, Multicultural,

Female and Disability sectors, programs the League

continues to be a pacesetter in compared with other sports.

Finally, it is an honour to work with such a dedicated team

of people who are all committed to strengthening football in

South Australia.

In what was a challenging year, I would like to thank the

SANFL’s football operations team for its outstanding work,

together with every player, coach, umpire administrator,

volunteer and supporter who played their part in making

season 2013 a successful one.

SANFL TRIBUNAL The 2013 season marked the third year of the points

system at SANFL level throughout all grades. The guiding

principles of the Tribunal system are:

• To improve efficiency of the Tribunal process by

introducing a system whereby players can accept

penalties without having to appear before the

Tribunal

• To promote the transparency and certainty of the

process by introducing a table of offences

• To achieve greater consistency in the reporting

process by introducing an Incident Review Panel

which all reports will go through

Along with the introduction of the points system during the

past 24 months, the SANFL has implemented an Incident

Review Panel and an Early Guilty Plea System. Given these

significant changes, the SANFL decided to conduct a major

review prior to the 2013 season.

A Tribunal Review Sub Committee was formed which was

chaired by SA Football Commissioner Dion McCaffrie and

consisted of League Director Bohdan Jaworskyj, SANFL

General Manager Football Chris Davies, Central District

CEO Kris Grant and SANFL Football Services Manager

Matthew Duldig.

All key stakeholders were asked to provide feedback.

From the Review, a number of changes were

introduced:

1. Conduct – Reckless & Negligent

A player found guilty of Negligent Conduct will

now attract the same penalty as a player found

guilty of Reckless Conduct.

This was introduced after feedback from SANFL

clubs to assist in clearing up the confusion

between the two acts of Conduct.

2. Addition of Points - % Loading

A player will receive additional 5% loading for

each match that he has been suspended over

the past three years, only up to a maximum of

five games.

This has been reduced from 10% per match.

3. Good Record

25% of base points will be deducted if the player

has not been found guilty of any reportable

offense within the last three SANFL years.

This has been reduced from five years.

throughout the minor and major round in 2013, resulting in

no positive results.

A secondary seminar on Vilification, Alcohol, Illicit Drugs,

Respect & Responsibility was conducted for all players in

the SANFL throughout the season.

THE PREMIERS

LEAGUE GRAND FINALNorwood strangled the life out of North Adelaide to claim

back-to-back premierships for the first time in 90 years

with a 40-point win in the last SANFL Grand Final at AAMI

Stadium.

Not since the Redlegs won flags in 1922 and 1923 had

they landed consecutive premierships, on that occasion

defeating West Adelaide and North Adelaide.

After beating the Bloods in 2012, the Legs repeated the

dose with a grinding triumph against the Roosters after

leading at every change in front of a crowd of 36,685.

‘’It’s been a good couple of years,’’ Norwood coach Nathan

Bassett said.

‘’The playing group is improving, their desire to want to get

better – we needed to see them get rewarded again for

their effort throughout the year and that happened today.’’

Despite star on-baller Mat Suckling being heavily tagged,

the Redlegs had strong contributions through the midfield

from Brett Zorzi, Mitch Grigg, Trent Dumont and James

Aish.

Veteran Ben Warren was the best forward on the ground,

booting four goals for Norwood while reliable defender Matt

Fuller also had an impact across half-back.

Having charged into the title-decider from fifth spot, North

bravely stayed in the contest until three-quarter time.

Acting captain Todd Miles, tagger Brian Fenton and key

forward Lewis Johnston were the best players for the

Roosters in Josh Francou’s last match as senior coach.

Norwood 2.5 | 6.5 | 6.8 | 10.12 (72)

North 1.2 | 3.2 | 4.7 | 4.8 (32)

BEST – Norwood: Zorzi, Fuller, Grigg, Warren, Dumont,

Stevenson, Georgiou, Aish. North: Miles, Fenton, Johnston,

Shannon, Anderson, Keller.

GOALS – Norwood: Warren 4, Grigg 2, Fuller, Zorzi,

Thomas, Davis. North: Stewart, Ryswyk, Johnston, Gordon.

INJURIES – Norwood: Baulderstone (knee).

North: Gordon (hand).

REPORT – Norwood: Jefferies for allegedly kicking

Shannon.

UMPIRES – Michael Avon, Curtis Deboy, Leigh Haussen.

CROWD – 36,685 at AAMI Stadium.

(Largest Grand Final crowd since 1999)

JACK OATEY MEDALPlaying his last game of league football, Norwood’s Brett

Zorzi was awarded the Jack Oatey Medal as best player on

the ground.

The 34-year-old – who announced his retirement after

the final siren – finished with 20 disposals, six marks, six

clearances, six inside 50s and a goal despite playing with a

serious knee injury.

‘’It all worked out well,’’ said Zorzi.

‘’I was thinking about retiring last year thinking it was a

good way to go out but a couple of boys conned me into

playing once more so I am happy I did.

‘’I gave everything and I was cramping up in that third

quarter so my body was only just hanging in there. I was just

a little part of a team and was just so happy to contribute.’’

21

RESERVES GRAND FINAL

Woodville-West Torrens’ final-quarter flurry

propelled it to the 2013 Reserves premiership,

holding off a wasteful Glenelg by six points at

AAMI Stadium.

Chasing their second flag of the season after winning the

Macca’s Cup, the Eagles booted four goals in the final term to

ensure the Tigers would fall agonisingly short of claiming the

flag from fifth spot.

Both sides were extremely error-ridden despite the lack of

wind throughout the contest but ultimately it was the Eagles’

ability to finish during the fourth term which proved the

difference.

Regular Eagles league defender Byron Sumner (20 disposals,

seven rebound 50s) claimed the Bob Lee Medal as the best

player on the ground, the left-footer providing plenty of run-

and-carry from defence.

Eagles 0.2 | 4.3 | 4.6 | 8.6 (54)

Glenelg 2.3 | 3.7 | 4.11 | 6.12 (48)

BEST – Eagles: Sumner, Rowland, T. Schwarz, Muirhead, J.

Sinor, Lloyd, Summerton.

Glenelg: Snook, Stretch, Spriggs, Neal-Bullen, Agnew, Walsh.

GOALS – Eagles: Roberts, Dawson, A. Dunstan, Z. Fitzgerald,

Day, Smart, Press.

Glenelg: Agnew, Spriggs, McCurry, Bailey, Stretch, Hutchesson.

UMPIRES – Eleni Glouftsis, Patrick Lally, Samuel Lowe.

BOB LEE MEDALLIST – Byron Sumner (Eagles)

MACCA’S CUP GRAND FINAL

Woodville-West Torrens won its second

consecutive Macca’s Cup with a hard-fought

14-point win against North Adelaide in the 2013

Under-18 Grand Final at AAMI Stadium.

Desperate to defend the 2012 crown, the Eagles overcame

inaccuracy in front of goal during the first half to eclipse the

minor premier.

Led by the classy Malcolm Karpany through the midfield, the

Eagles had more of the football before the main change but

struggled to convert this into scoreboard pressure.

This allowed Tim Weatherald’s Roosters to slowly claw back

into the contest after the main change, forcing the Eagles

under pressure for the first time in the match during the fourth

term.

But with victorious coach Shane Grimm directing traffic from

the boundary line, the Eagles clung on for a well-earned victory.

Karpany finished with 29 disposals, nine marks, seven inside

50s and two goals to win the Alan Stewart Medal as best afield

while his SA Under-18 team-mate Cameron Giles (26 disposals,

seven marks) was outstanding in reading the play across half-

back.

Eagles 2.6 | 6.10 | 7.13 | 9.15 (69)

North 2.0 | 2.3 | 5.4 | 8.7 (55)

BEST – Eagles: Karpany, Giles, T. Fitzgerald, Enright, Haylock,

Firns, Gaffney, Polanski.

North: Allen, Tahana, Spina, Jacka, Combe, Burton.

GOALS – Eagles: Karpany, T. Fitzgerald, Hayes, Polanski 2,

Haylock.

North: Spina, Ingram 2, Allen, Viney, Lindsay.

UMPIRES – Nadia De Bellis, Robert Kane, Mitchell Scott.

ALAN STEWART MEDALLIST – Malcolm Karpany

MAGAREY MEDAL

Norwood’s Matt Thomas stormed home

to win the 2013 Magarey Medal, polling

an impressive 26 votes.

Thomas, the first Redleg to be adjudged

the league’s fairest and most brilliant player since Andrew

Jarman in 1997, attracted just eight votes in the first 13 rounds

of the season.

But the 26-year-old midfielder collected a staggering 18 votes

in Norwood’s last eight matches of the year to leapfrog Port

Adelaide rover Sam Gray, who finished second with 21 votes.

The Victorian is the 11th Norwood player to win the Magarey

Medal, joining Redleg greats such as Garry McIntosh (1994/95),

Andrew Jarman (1997) and Michael Aish (1981).

Redlegs team-mate Mitch Grigg – who finished in third place

overall with 18 votes – missed Norwood’s last seven matches

after making his AFL debut for the Crows on July 21.

Central’s James Boyd – who polled the most votes in 2012 but

was ineligible due to suspension – finished in equal fourth place

with consistent Magpies defender Zane Kirkwood.

KEN FARMER MEDALSouth Adelaide spearhead Michael Wundke claimed his second

Ken Farmer Medal with a haul of 52 goals in season 2013.

Wundke, who was the SANFL’s leading goalkicker in 2011,

finished four goals in front of the Eagles’ Andrew Ainger.

‘’It will be something I will look back on in the years to come,’’

said Wundke, who has kicked a total of 212 goals in 74 SANFL

matches.

‘’I’m sure it will be something I can show my kids.’’

The medal is presented in honour of North Adelaide’s legendary

goalkicking champion, Ken Farmer, who kicked 1,417 career

goals.

STANLEY H. LEWIS TROPHYWoodville-West Torrens claimed its first Stanley H. Lewis Trophy

since 2000 as the SANFL’s most dominant club across multiple

levels.

The Eagles finished second at the end of the minor round at

League level while also winning premierships in both lower

grades – Reserves and Under-18.

Tallying 2900 points, the Eagles edged out second-placed

Norwood on 2850 while North Adelaide was third with 2500

points.

The Trophy, named after past SANFL chairman Stanley

Heathcote Lewis, has been awarded since 1962 to the club

which has shown excellence across all grades of football.

R.O SHEARMAN MEDALNorwood midfielder Matt Thomas capped off a stunning season

after being awarded the 2013 R.O Shearman Medal.

Thomas, who also won the 2013 Magarey Medal, polled 74

votes to finish in front of Port Adelaide’s Sam Gray and Redlegs

team-mate Mat Suckling, who each attracted 70 votes.

SANFL League coaches award votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis

throughout the minor round.

The medal is named after five-time Sturt premiership player and

SA Football Hall of Fame member Bob Shearman.

24

South Australia enhanced its standing on the state league

stage with a rampaging 82-point win against the NEAFL’s

Northern Conference at City Mazda Stadium in May.

Despite leading by just nine points at half-time, the SANFL

broke the contest wide open with a 14-goal second half

to stamp its authority as the best domestic competition in

Australia.

‘’It was really tough work,’’ SANFL coach Michael Godden

said.

‘’The first quarter we were really good but the second

quarter we fell away a bit and they (NEAFL) really upped

the ante so it was a really tough battle in that second

quarter.

‘’But to the lads credit…at half-time we made some

adjustments and then in the second half, we were just

outstanding.’’

Led by the calm heads of Central captain Paul Thomas

and West Adelaide skipper Ryan Ferguson in defence, the

Croweaters managed to hold their nerve after a testing first

half.

Central District pair James Boyd (33 disposals) and

Brayden O’Hara (27 disposals) forced their way into the

game after the main change while Jack Oatey Medallist

Craig Parry was easily the best bigman on the ground with

33 hitouts.

But the real surprise packet was North Adelaide wingman

Leigh Ryswyk, who kicked a game-high six goals playing in

an unfamiliar attacking role.

FOS WILLIAMS MEDALWest Adelaide captain Ryan Ferguson was a fitting winner

of the Fos Williams Medal after keeping his side in the

contest during the first-half.

The key defender was exceptional while reading the play

across half-back, particularly when the NEAFL made a

spirited charge during the second term.

‘’Ferg was great across half-back. He just read everything

that came in there,’’ Godden said.

SANFL 4.3 | 7.5 | 14.10 | 21.14 (140)

FOXTEL CUP

West Adelaide became the first SANFL team to win the

Foxtel Cup when it defeated WAFL rival East Fremantle by

four points in the 2013 Grand Final at AAMI Stadium.

Seemingly headed for a comfortable victory after

establishing a 25-point lead at half-time, the Bloods forced

their fans to sweat until the final siren after managing just

three behinds in the second half during the contest on

August 6.

After beating Port Melbourne and Claremont in comfortable

fashion en route to the Grand Final, West looked headed

for a similar finish after kicking the only four goals of the

first half.

Classy forward Jon Beech – arguably West’s best player

throughout the tournament - was at his best in kicking two

goals during the second term, the second a nice finish on

the left from 35m.

Former Crow Chris Schmidt made his presence felt early

in the contest before finishing with 26 disposals to be

awarded the Foxtel Cup Medal as best player on the

ground.

‘’It’s a great honour,’’ said Schmidt, who also finished with

nine clearances.

‘’As a leader of the club in a big game you really want to

stamp yourself on the contest and do what you can to

impose yourself. Hopefully I did that.’’

West captain Ryan Ferguson was once again outstanding

with his ability to read the play in defence, North Melbourne

recruit Brad Mangan provided plenty of rebound while Kurt

Thompson was also important at critical stages for the

Bloods.

East Fremantle’s best player was clearly rover Rory O’Brien,

who finished with 29 disposals while former Fremantle and

St Kilda speedster Brett Peake (18 disposals) also had his

moments.

West Adelaide 1.2 | 4.5 | 4.7 | 4.8 (32)

East Fremantle 0.3 | 0.4 | 1.10 | 2.16 (28)

BEST – West Adelaide: Schmidt, Mangan, Ferguson,

Beech, Silverlock, Thompson, Macreadie.

East Fremantle: O’Brien, Peake, Stephen, Dodd.

GOALS – West Adelaide: Beech 2, Still, Silverlock.

East Fremantle: Stephen, Hancock.

Season 2013 was an extremely positive one for the SANFL

Umpiring Department, with a 5.5 per cent increase in recruits

and an 86 per cent retention rate across the state.

Throughout the year, there were several highlights among the

senior umpiring panel.

Eleni Glouftsis became the first female field umpire in Australia

to officiate at State League level. Glouftsis was one of the

three field umpires to adjudicate in the Round 21 clash between

North Adelaide and Glenelg at Prospect Oval. The 21-year-old

attracted a significant amount of media coverage nationwide

while displaying great composure under pressure. Viewed as a

trail-blazer for other aspiring female umpires, Glouftsis – who

also officiated in the Reserves Grand Final - can be extremely

proud of reaching League level. We look forward to her

continuing her progression in 2014.

Decorated field umpire Michael Avon reached a significant

milestone in Round 22, when he chalked up his 200th SANFL

match. A veteran who has earned great respect throughout

his career, Avon also officiated in 179 games at AFL level. An

important member of the SANFL umpiring panel, the 38-year-

old not only provides great experience on matchday but also

timely advice on the training track.

Finally, the SANFL Umpiring Department would like to pay

tribute to long-serving field umpire Tony Dey who announced

his retirement at the end of the 2013 season. Dey, who made

his League debut at Adelaide Oval in 1999, officiated in 273

matches, including three SANFL Grand Finals. The 35-year-old

was regularly among the best senior field umpires throughout

his career, evidenced by him winning the 2009 Golden Whistle

Award.

TALENT PROGRAM

The SANFL’s Talent Program continued to identify and develop

talent in 2013, through a recognised pathway allowing players

to progress from primary school and junior club level through to

senior SANFL and AFL football.

In 2013, the Talent Program’s success was also highlighted

by South Australia winning its first Under-18 AFL National

Championship since 1995, progressing through the carnival

undefeated. SA’s Under-16 team finished second in the AFL

National Championship, losing just one match by two points.

NAB AFL UNDER-18 CHAMPIONSHIPSSouth Australia ended an 18-year drought when it was crowned

the NAB AFL Under-18 champion for the first time after

progressing through the carnival undefeated.

Not since winning the Under-17 Teal Cup in 1995 had SA tasted

success in that age group, providing great joy for the playing

group and successful coach – SANFL High Performance

Manager Brenton Phillips.

After finishing second for the previous four years in succession,

SA enjoyed strong wins against NSW/ACT, Queensland and

Victoria Country before narrowly defeating Victoria Metro and

Western Australia.

Captained by Woodville-West Torrens midfielder Luke Dunstan,

the Croweaters had five players selected in the Under-18 All-

Australian team. Dunstan was joined by James Aish (Norwood),

Matt Scharenberg (Glenelg), Darcy Hourigan (South Adelaide)

and James Battersby (Sturt). SANFL High Performance

Manager Brenton Phillips was named All-Australian coach.

Dunstan and Scharenberg were named joint-winners of the

John Halbert Award as SA’s Most Valuable Player.

Dunstan was also adjudged to be the winner of the Ron

Coleman Best Team Man Award.

‘’It’s a nice feeling,’’ Phillips said after the final match against

WA at Etihad Stadium.

‘’It’s really nice to get some reward for this playing group. They

came through the Under-16 program with us and they won the

title at the Under-16 level so we always knew we had a relatively

talented group coming through.

‘’They really worked hard and this group came together in

December with our Academy and worked really hard to put

themselves into the position they got into today.’’

UNDER 18 ACADEMY The Academy, which underpins the South Australian Under-18

team, was established by the SANFL and League clubs in 2000.

The Academy helps identify and assist the development of

talented Under-18 footballers while instructing players about

the requirements for success at AFL level. Fifty-three young

footballers from across the state graduated from the Academy

in 2013.

NAB AFL UNDER 16 CHAMPIONSHIPSAfter winning just one match at the 2012 National

Championships, South Australia’s Under-16 side displayed a

dramatic improvement in 2013 under the guidance of coach

Darel Hart and assistants Chris Smelt, Neil Morris and James

Gowans.

In the first match against arch-rival Victoria Metro, the

Croweaters managed a memorable 128-point win at Blacktown

before comfortably beating Western Australia by 72 points.

Unfortunately, a narrow two-point defeat against Victoria

Country in the final match cost SA the national crown.

North Adelaide’s Stephen Tahana won the Norm Grimm Award

as SA’s Most Valuable Player for his outstanding performances

across the carnival while Norwood’s Matthew Nunn led the side

in admirable fashion as captain.

The Roosters’ Maris Olekalns won the Dr Henry Kneebone

Award for displaying respect and leadership while Central

District’s Damian Nangle was handed the Ron Coleman Best

Team Man Award.

Six South Australian players were selected for Level 1 of the

AIS/AFL Academy. Those players were Ryan Burton (North

Adelaide), Maris Olekalns (North Adelaide), Stephen Tahana

(North Adelaide), Aaron Francis (West Adelaide), Luke

Partington (Port Adelaide) and Tim Sullivan (Glenelg).

STATE UNDER-15 CHAMPIONSHIPS Squads of 25 players represented each League club’s

metropolitan and country promotional zones in the Under-15

Intrastate Championships. Minor round matches were played at

League grounds earlier in the year.

In the July school holidays, North Adelaide defeated Glenelg

by 12 points to win the Metropolitan Grand Final while Norwood

defeated Glenelg by 13 points to claim honours in the Country

Grand Final. Both matches were played at Thebarton Oval.

SANFL UNDER-16 COUNTRY TALENTED PLAYER PROGRAM The Country Talented Player program was introduced in 2011 to

help identify and nurture the state’s best regional talent.

In 2013, 36 players from the nine SANFL country promotional

zones were invited to participate in a talent camp held at

Immanuel College and a one-day session at AAMI Stadium in

April.

UNDER 17 AAMI YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS The Under-17 Youth Championships help SANFL clubs identify

players with the capacity to play consistently at Under-18,

Reserves or League level in the future. Each League club’s

regional promotional zone was represented by a squad for the

Championships which were held in July. Teams were divided

into two divisions, with Port Adelaide winning Division One and

West Adelaide victorious in Division Two.

The SANFL clubs and community clubs have supported

compulsory attendance at Level 2 and Level 1 coaching

courses respectively.

In 2013:

• Level 1: 536 coaches (conducted by SANFL, League

clubs and specialist schools)

• Level 2: 63 coaches (conducted by SANFL)

• High Performance (Level 3): 2 SA coaches

(conducted by AFL)

• Reaccreditation (after four years): 129 coaches

• Total course attendees and re-accreditations: 730

coaches

The interaction of coaches within their own club is most

important and the League and its clubs aim to establish

mentoring programs for coaches to enhance their performance

through the use of technology and face-to-face discussion with

educated mentors.

COACHES ASSOCIATION There are 2424 coaches who are presently accredited at Level

1, Level 2, or High Performance in SA and from 1996 to 2013

inclusive, the SANFL has recorded the processing of at least

12,500 coaches in coaching courses at Level 1, 2 and High

Performance.

The resources available for coaches have improved through

the development of the AFL Game Development website, the

AFL Community Club website, the SANFL website and a host

of other private websites. There are also a number of DVDs

and books that are endorsed by the AFL and SANFL.

2013 AWARDSThe 18th annual Coaches Association Dinner was held at AAMI

Stadium on November 11. Norwood coach Nathan Bassett, for

the second consecutive year, was awarded The Good Guys

League Coach of the Year award.

A total of 63 Level 2 Coaching Course Certificates and 44

awards were presented to coaches representing country and

metropolitan leagues, schools, female football and Centres of

Excellence.

John Zanvoort and Shane Pill were awarded Service Awards

for their outstanding service to coaching.

The three South East Football Leagues, in conjunction with the

Community Football Board representative, Scott Duncan, have

supported the Coach Awards Dinner in the South East through

each club sending representatives. Seventy people attended

the 2013 Awards at the Penola Football Club.

2013 saw a 10% in elective Auskick participation.

NAB AFL AUSKICK

Star Adelaide Crows midfielder Rory Sloane embraced his role as

the inaugural South Australian Auskick Ambassador, promoting

the program throughout the state. Sloane and Brownlow

Medallist Shane Crawford also attended SA’s Auskick launch,

which included the presence of 180 children.

A 10 per cent increase in elective Auskick participation was

recorded in 2013, with children involved in 305 Auskick centres

across the state.

MACCA’S PRIMARY SCHOOL FOOTBALLSeason 2013 saw an exceptional increase in overall participants,

with a 17.6 per cent rise in those involved with Macca’s Primary

School Football. Congratulations to Mitcham Primary School for

winning the Macca’s SASFA Premiers Cup. McDonald’s has

again been a fantastic supporter of our school-based programs

and primary school competitions.

IGA MINI LEAGUE A partnership between IGA and the SANFL Mini League

program supported the participation of more than 3,500

primary school students in half-time games at SANFL matches

throughout season 2013.

CADBURY AFL 9sThe continued growth of the Cadbury AFL 9s program was

highlighted by new competitions starting at West Beach,

Salisbury and the South Parklands in the City, where the state’s

first ‘Family League’ was formed. The first winter competition,

based at West Lakes with eight teams, was also a feature in

2013.

The formation of new competitions ensured a significant increase

of 56% on the overall particpant rate, with 18 more teams

competing in the spring/summer season. Cadbury AFL 9s was

also linked to the Australian Sports Commission’s Active After-

School communities program provided an opportunity for primary

school-aged students across Adelaide to enjoy AFL 9s format.

SAPSASA CARNIVALThe 2013 SAPSASA State Carnival included 41 teams from

across South Australia, with East Adelaide crowned Division One

champion. In the Primary School KO competition, Sacred Heart

Middle School won the Mark Mitchell Shield, Port Elliott Primary

School claimed the Norm Grimm Shield while Marymount College

received the SAPSASA Girls Shield.

The South Australian Under-12 SAPSASA Boys team put in a

solid performance at the School Sport Australia Championship in

Darwin, finishing third.

SSSSA KNOCKOUTS An outstanding display at the School Sport Australia

Championship resulted in South Australia winning its first

Under-15 title in 33 years. SA’s Under-16 Girls team also

performed well, finishing third. In the state wide KO program,

Sacred Heart continued its excellent reputation by claiming

honours in both the Open Boys and Girls Knockout Competitions.

IGA NEXT STEPThe fourth year of the IGA Next Step program was a success,

with a significant 20 per cent participation increase in 2013. More

than 600 attendees enjoyed the opportunity to hone their skills

at AAMI Stadium while also learning about nutrition, training

techniques and leadership across the two-day program.

AFL SCHOOL AMBASSADORS The South Australian AFL School Ambassadors are a vital part of

the SANFL, maximising the promotion of our great game across

the state. A strong increase in Ambassadors was recorded in

2013, rising from 513 to 566.

Significant subsidies were provided for 16 schools in 2013,

allowing eight schools to receive new permanent goal posts and

eight schools to receive goal post padding. School teachers’

professional development sessions also increased, with five

sessions being conducted compared with one in 2012. Two

sessions were conducted regionally, resulting in a total of more

than 150 teachers attending a football-related professional

development session in 2013.

DIVERSITY

The SANFL is strengthening its ability to create a coordinated

and consistent footprint which exists strongly within the South

Australian community services space. Producing services in

ever-growing markets, the aim of the Diversity unit is to position

the SANFL as a strong competitor in attracting sponsorship

and funding. Critical to this is program development which

provides innovative, inclusive, accessible, flexible and responsive

programs that make a fundamental contribution to the South

Australian community.

Emphasis on growth in each area of the SANFL’s diverse

programs means there is a great opportunity to develop

community relationships further and embed the SANFL’s

influence within the SA community.

FEMALE FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT

The profile of Female Football in South Australia enjoyed

exceptional growth during 2013. Club football continued to

expand across metropolitan Adelaide with the inclusion of four

new teams across the three Female Leagues.

The SA Women’s Football League increased to nine teams, U18

Youth Girls to six teams, and the U16 North East Metropolitan

Junior Football Association (EMJFA) increased to five teams.

Not only was their focus on growth, but there was a marked

improvement in the standard of play. Kilburn Football Club

replaced one team in the U16 NEMJFA Girls League with a

newly developed team brought together via an African Program

developed through Power Community Ltd (PCL).

Regional Female Football continued a trend of promotion and

growth following on from 2012. The Eyre Peninsula ‘Calypso

Star Sharks’ increased their participation numbers with the

addition of an U18 team. The U18 Eyre Peninsula Sharks formed

one of the two teams which competed in the U18 Regional

curtain raiser at AAMI Stadium. Their competing team was the

inaugural U18 Female Football Academy originating from the

South East. The game ended in fairytale fashion with a point

kicked to draw the game in the dying seconds. Interest from

Whyalla resulted in the establishment of a four-team League.

Great success was also enjoyed through our Talented Player

Pathway. The Junior Academy continued to introduce girls to

the game with the U16 School Girls State Team competing in

Darwin. The girls ended the carnival with a bronze medal, five

All-Australians, and the Vice Captain, Sarah Allan, was named

the ‘Player of the Tournament’. The U18 Youth Girls State Team

competed in Shepparton, Victoria. The SA girls finished in fifth

place, with their Captain, Alex Price, named in the All-Australian

Team. The Open Women’s State Team competed in Cairns with

the team finishing second in Division 2 with a loss in the Grand

Final. One player, Michele Reid, was named All-Australian with

another SA player, Rachael Killian, receiving the inaugural

Melissa Backhouse Rising Star Medal (Best Rookie U21).

The year finished off with a great initiative, the inaugural U18

Female Kickstart Championships. The team was made up for

twelve of the most talented Indigenous Female Footballers

from each State competing in a nine-a-side format. The SA

girls showed great improvement throughout the week, with

three players selected in the female equivalent of the ‘Flying

Boomerangs’ Team.

INCLUSIVE PROGRAMS

36

INDIGENOUS PROGRAMSKey government and community partnerships continue to grow

across all indigenous programs, including the re-establishment

of partnerships and programs being aligned with state and

federal objectives. SANFL programs assist to enhance

pathways to employment, training and further education, as

well as providing school retention and community education

programs which assist in building stronger communities.

ABORIGINAL PATHWAYS TO EXCELLENCE TRAINEESHIP PROGRAM 2013 marked the third year of the SANFL South Australian

Aboriginal Sports Training Academy (SAASTA) and Aboriginal

Pathways to Excellence Program (APEP) Traineeship program.

Funded by the Department of Further Education, Science and

Technology (DFEEST), our 2013 trainees were placed within

the SANFL in community based programs, hospitality, or within

Department of Education and Child Development (DECD). Most

trainees completed either a Certificate III or IV in Recreation

and Sport with a number of trainees progressing to alternative

career pathways, or ongoing roles within the SANFL. Trainee

Sean Lemmens, who also made his League debut with Port

Adelaide in 2013, was selected by AFL club Gold Coast at pick

No. 27 in the 2013 AFL National Draft. Sean was also a member

of South Australia’s victorious Under-18 team, which won the

Under-18 AFL National Championships in Melbourne.

AFL KICKSTARTThe AFL Kickstart Championships (Under-15 Aboriginal

Australian Football Carnival) was held in Townsville from April

8-11, 2013.

The South Australian team had approximately 40 boys trialling

at Max Basheer Reserve at West Lakes throughout February

before a 24-player squad was finalised. Approximately two

thirds of the side was metropolitan-based, with the rest

travelling from country areas including Ceduna, Murray Bridge,

Whyalla, Port Augusta and the APY Lands in the North Western

corner of the state.

Once in Townsville, the SA team performed strongly, losing by

one point to Queensland, and beating NSW/ACT. The boys

were in good spirits despite missing finals, with the players

forming a special bond with the coaches.

Congratulations to Ceduna player Kim Lebois who was

picked in the All-Australian side, The Boomerangs, coached

by Brisbane premiership player Chris Johnson. Kim then went

on to travel with the Boomerangs to South Africa and New

Zealand.

APY LANDS PROGRAMSDevelopment of the FNWSL continued in 2013, reflected in an

increase in participation led by local communities. Partnerships

with government and non-government agencies assisted with

vital infrastructure to support the League, including oval and

grandstand maintenance, as well as marking softball diamonds.

SENIOR FAR NORTH WEST SPORTS LEAGUEMimili were a late withdrawal from the FNWSL in 2013 to show

respect to a community elder and his family. The competition

continued with eight teams which eliminated the need for a bye.

The grand finals were held at the Amata Sports Complex on

Saturday September 7 in blistering conditions.

With Tjurma having a week off, the home side looked fresh as

they took the field however, Grand Final opponent Indulkana

looked ready to go after winning the previous week against

Amata. Stewart Schaber and Intjalki Brumby proved to be the

difference for Indulkana, kicking five majors each as the Tigers

claimed their first flag in the Far North West Sports League.

INDIGENOUS PROGRAMS

37

JUNIOR SPORTS PROGRAMGolf, volleyball and soccer headlined the specialist coaching

clinics which were delivered to the APY Lands communities

in 2013. Coaching clinics and activities were coordinated by

the SANFL and welcomed by the schools and communities.

An improvement at the end of the year in negotiating

partnerships and coordinating a solid calendar of events

based on community need has created a strong foundation

for 2014. The SANFL now works with key stakeholders

engaged to assist with federal initiatives linked to school

attendance, community safety and community sustainability.

RIO TINTO ABORIGINAL LANDS CHALLENGE CUPThe Rio Tinto Aboriginal Lands Challenge Cup was once

again a highlight for the APY Lands representatives who

defeated the Maralinga Lands team by 18 points in a

hard-fought contest. The game followed an intense four

days where both teams were involved in education and pre-

employment activities hosted by numerous South Australian

stakeholders in partnership with the SANFL.

FAR WEST COASTSANFL’s Far West Project is based in Ceduna and is

supported through a partnership with Power Community

Ltd (PCL). The program is a component of Breaking

the Cycle, a Federal Government initiative that aims to

assist Indigenous communities to develop and implement

alcohol and substance abuse management plans. It is also

designed to support community groups provide prevention

programs to tackle youth substance abuse and healthy

lifestyle and wellbeing messages within school curriculum.

The combined resources of the SANFL, PCL, the

Indigenous Coordination Centre, Ceduna Aboriginal

Corporation and local community groups ensure that

activities are tailored and localised, responding to the

needs and expectations of each community. The profile

and amazing influence of the AFL and sport in general, is a

proven method to connect communities to a range of new

and existing programs. Most importantly, education is the

major focus combined with sport, healthy living and alcohol/

drug education.

The Far West Coordinator of this program works in

conjunction with the Regional Development Coordinator

to deliver key football and sports development programs

on behalf of the AFL and the SANFL, including Auskick

The SANFL would like to acknowledge that the land

on which we live, work and play Australian football

is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people. We

recognise and respect their cultural and heritage

beliefs and understand that these are still very strong

and important to the Kaurna people today.

MULTICULTURAL PROGRAMS

ALL NATIONS CUPDuring 2013, the SANFL conducted a Multicultural Academy

Camp which involved 30 multicultural young people taking

part in a series of activities including fitness and skills

testing over a weekend at the Adelaide Shores Complex.

During the camp, 12 boys were selected to take part in the

annual Multicultural All Nations Cup held in Melbourne

during March. This side finished third in the All Nations Cup,

a great result and improvement from 2012, when they were

BACHAR HOULI ACADEMY CAMP The Bachar Houli Academy is a high-performance football

talent camp for emerging junior players aged 14-16 years,

from an Islamic background. The Academy aims to develop

the participants’ leadership skills, fast-track their football

development, and provide genuine pathways for them

to pursue playing football at an elite level. The SANFL

selected four boys to attend the Bachar Houli Academy

which was held during grand final week in Melbourne. The

five-day camp involved skill acquisition, high-performance

testing, game education, leadership development and a

game against participants in the Ahmed Saad Academy.

NEW ARRIVALS PROGRAMThe SANFL’s New Arrivals Program reached six schools

and 960 multicultural students in 2013. This program was

supported by well-known Port Adelaide defender Alipate

Carlile, who is also South Australia’s AFL Multicultural

Ambassador. It culminated with schools being invited to

the Multicultural Gala Day at Alberton Oval. More than 220

students attended the day and were treated to football

activities as well as cultural entertainment and a selection

of Multicultural food. Fifty students from the Islamic College

of South Australia played in the Auskick and Little League

games at half-time.

MULTICULTURAL GALA DAYIn 2013, Salisbury High School was included with the

Adelaide Secondary School of English (ASSOE) as part of

the revised SANFL Multicultural Youth ‘MY Footy’ program.

The program is designed to teach young people from

emerging, and new arrival, backgrounds the basic skills of

our game before providing a pathway to local football clubs

and umpiring. As part of ‘MY Footy’, a basic umpiring course

was conducted over several weeks at the Multicultural

Youth Education Development Centre (MYEDC). Seven

boys were presented with their Basic Umpiring Certificate,

with four immediately umpiring at community level.

INCLUSIVE PROGRAMSInclusive programs provide equitable access and

opportunity to experience Australian Football in a supported

environment. Inclusive programs align structured activities

within an organisation’s community service or school

curriculum to enhance existing recreation programs.

The ‘Yes I Can’ program was conducted at Henley Beach

High school. This program combines disability awareness

and recreation within an eight-week program to assist

DECD students with achieving components of their Year 12

certificate. The SANFL assists students within this program

to encourage them to work with each other and develop

sporting activities which are adapted to suit individual

physical needs.

SCOSA (Spastic Centres of South Australia) invited the

SANFL to participate in the SCOSA-bility Challenge. Held

at St Claire Recreation Centre, it comprised of modified

football activities for those attending day and recreation

services within this community organisation. Activities

such as handballing, tackling and kicking were modified to

enable participants to engage with the sport.

A partnership with Reclink provides the SANFL with an

important opportunity to assist with recreation events

around Adelaide for those people who may not traditionally

have access to engaging within a team environment.

Reclink’s Footy in the Park was developed to provide a

competition for people experiencing homelessness. A

competition over several weeks provided opportunity for

people from a variety of challenging backgrounds to share

a football experience which provided people with fitness

and access to positive social experiences while enhancing

confidence by developing personal abilities.

Footy Down South, developed in conjunction with Reclink

and the South Adelaide Football Club, provides a regular

recreational experience for people with disability over a

series of clinics and skills sessions.

Youth Connect involved more than 2000 young footballers

attending 30 educational sessions, primarily held in

conjunction with the Sammy D Foundation, at community

clubs in the northern and southern suburbs. The aim

of Youth Connect is to deliver positive messages to

disadvantaged youth relating to cyber and driver safety and

conducting a healthy lifestyle.

I would like to acknowledge the contribution made by

Glen Rosser as he transitions into his new role. Glen has led

the SACFL since its inception and with his passion and belief

has certainly contributed to some wonderful outcomes for

community football. Glen will remain with us on a part time basis

in 2014 so you will continue to see him throughout the coming

year.

It has been a year of successes as noted in the report and these

successes come about due to the hard work and dedication of

my fellow Community Football Board Members, our staff, the

32 affiliated Leagues and 310 Clubs, the umpires and the many

volunteers.

Throughout 2013 the Board and Management have addressed

key strategic issues in readiness for our future growth,

development and sustainability. The matters reviewed include

but are not limited to:

• SACFL Strategic Plan

• Governance Structure

• The player points system (APPS)

The SACFL is a not for profit organisation with revenue derived

through sponsorship and other means, with these funds put

directly back into community football, we have a small carry

forward surplus, which will be utilised in the delivery of services

throughout 2014.

Community Football is the lifeblood of our great game, with

both social and political significance, the importance of

encouraging participation in sport remains a key objective for all

Governments. Our responsibility remains as strong as ever; to

support our leagues and clubs deliver opportunities for anyone

to play football in a sustainable way throughout South Australia.

We thank you again for your hard work throughout 2013 and

look forward to working with you in 2014.

CITY V COUNTRYWith no AFL games scheduled at AAMI Stadium on the

2013 Easter weekend, the SACFL was able to secure

the curtain-raiser for the AFL season opener. The annual

City versus Country game for the MAC Cup preceded

the Adelaide v Essendon clash on Friday March 22. City

was represented by the SAAFL and Country by the Team

of the Championships from the 2012 Country Football

Championships.

Whilst this was a very early start to the year for most of

the players it was a fantastic opportunity for the SACFL

to showcase the immense talent in the SAAFL and South

Australian regional Leagues.

With each side chalking up three wins each in previous

meetings, players from both teams provided a fantastic

spectacle. The result would have been even closer had it

not been for an amazing eight-goal second quarter from the

Country team, which was outscored by its City counterparts

in each of the other three quarters.

COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

50

The challenges endured over recent years have placed an

enormous burden on the League’s commercial and financial

affairs, due mainly to outside influences.

But in 2012, clearly the corner was turned as there were

positive indicators throughout the commercial operations of

our business.

The onfield performance of the Adelaide Football Club was

a major driver of this turnaround and this, together with the

two AFL Finals hosted at AAMI Stadium, provided significant

uplift to the League’s financial result.

The SANFL declared a statutory loss of $2.72m which is an

improvement of $1.17m compared to 2011. The loss includes

the $2m grant the SANFL paid the Port Adelaide Football

Club as part of a $14.75m total funding package.

The underlying profit of the SANFL, if you exclude PAFC

funding, abnormal items and depreciation, was $2.82m,

which was a $1.14m improvement. The operating result

also comfortably exceeded budget and was cash earnings

positive.

The Commercial team continued to focus on AAMI Stadium

and the revenue drivers associated with the business.

However, with the Adelaide Oval project completion looming,

there were ongoing contributions from all departments to

ensure a smooth transition to the new venue in 2014.

Whilst the planning commenced two years ago for the

transfer to Adelaide Oval, it has been a major focus over

the past year to provide staff with the best possible support

mechanisms for their ongoing involvement, with the League

and within the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority

structure. The process was capably handled by the HR

Department.

The Stadium division continued to provide a superior level of

service to the matchday operations. It should be recognised

that presentation of the main arena was highly regarded, not

only as a fantastic surface for playing Australian football, but

as a leader among national venues.

Encore Group continued its recognised high level of quality

for food, beverage and service. The restructured Encore

model under Justin Liu has achieved improved results in the

area of retail catering, which recorded its highest-ever total

annual turnover.

s we approach 2013 – the 40th anniversary of AAMI Stadium

– there will be significant opportunity to not only farewell the

stadium, which has been an enormous financial contributor

to the League’s performance, but also to celebrate the

venue’s position as a cultural, social and sporting icon of

South Australian life.

The League’s operations’ major asset is its staff and without

their loyalty and dedication – either serving in full-time or

matchday capacity – these exceptional results would not

have been achieved.

2013 FINANCIAL YEAR REPORTThe final season of AFL being played at AAMI Stadium

resulted in a profitable year for our business. Our core

business of football has delivered an increase in income

against 2012 through event day catering, particularly retail

and corporate functions.

This was a pleasing result considering 2013 was a year

which presented challenges in our business with staff

transitioning to the redeveloped Adelaide Oval as we

celebrated the history and the experiences of the West

Lakes venue.

The improved on-field success of the Port Adelaide Football

Club reflected in overall attendances, which translated into

increased financial returns for Encore Group in 2013.

Overall, Encore Group achieved a profit of $3,891,523 which

was ahead of last year’s result of $3,790,080.

RETAIL CATERINGWith an improved on-field performance for the PAFC, and

a final farewell season to AAMI Stadium, the retail business

had a strong financial year. Overall, the retail business was

well operated with all expenses managed, delivering an

increased net return per dollar against budget.

CORPORATE FUNCTIONS Event day catering was slightly below the budget in 2013

due to the number of early games played at AAMI Stadium.

The non-event day function business at AAMI Stadium

remains consistent with recent years’ business activity. The

function market continues to be a challenge with increased

competition between venues.

CORPORATE FACILITIES In the final year of AFL at AAMI Stadium, Corporate

Facilities faced a challenging year. With a large number

of suites available for daily hire, our sales team was busy

with daily use. Corporate Facilities catering turnover was

down against budget but with tight operational controls, the

department fell just short of the forecast net profit.

ADELAIDE TOWN HALL In the third year of Encore’s contract at the Adelaide Town

Hall, we have continued to strengthen the Encore Brand in

the Adelaide market. The team has produced an improved

financial return from this venue.

ADELAIDE ARENA Once again, disappointing on-court performances from

the Adelaide 36ers has affected attendances and catering

revenue within the venue in 2013. The 2013/14 season

has started with positive signs for an improved on-court

performance that will result in improved crowds and

catering spends.

EXTERNAL EVENTS The Encore External Events has continued to contribute

a healthy return through contracts with the Tour Down

Under, Magic Millions, the 2012 World Surf Life Savings

Championships and more recently, securing work with the

Balaklava Racing Club.

2014 CATERING DIRECTIONEncore Group will continue to seek additional catering

opportunities within the competitive Adelaide market whilst

strengthening our relationships with current clients. In 2014,

the business will reposition itself from having a primary

focus on large stadium catering to a boutique catering

provider in the South Australian market.

ADELAIDEAfter reaching the preliminary final in 2012,

Adelaide struggled to recapture the same

stunning form in 2013. Despite an exciting

come-from-behind win against North Melbourne in Round

9 and a gutsy victory against Geelong in Round 17, the

Crows narrowly missed playing in the major round. A serious

knee injury to key forward Taylor Walker didn’t help matters,

however, the continued development of young guns Brad

Crouch, Rory Laird, Mitch Grigg, Luke Brown and Sam

Kerridge was a major positive.

PORT ADELAIDE

With new coach Ken Hinkley on board in 2013,

Port Adelaide surged up the premiership ladder

as the AFL’s most improved club. Rising from

14th to fifth, the Power made its presence felt during its

first finals series since 2007. After upsetting Collingwood

in the Elimination Final, Port was particularly brave while

succumbing to Geelong by 16 points in the Semi-Final. New

captain Travis Boak led from the front all season, gaining All-

Australian selection along with star forward Chad Wingard.

NAB CUP

The NAB Cup was played in the Riverland, with Renmark

hosting the match in March between Port Adelaide and

Melbourne.

It was an enormous effort for the local club and community

to ensure the AFL teams were comfortable in their

environment and attending to all of their needs. The weather

was great and all those who attended were entertained by

some up-and-coming stars.

MEMBERSHIPUltimate membership was rebranded Premier Membership

ahead of the transition to Adelaide Oval for the 2014

Season. Due to interest surrounding the move, membership

numbers remained strong. While this was an exciting time

for the majority of members, there were a number of long-

term members who were unsure of the move. As a result,

continual communication via email and post was conducted

throughout the process to ensure they were kept informed

of changes as they occurred.

THE TURFAs in previous years, the Grounds and Maintenance team

excelled in their preparation and presentation of the Ground

and surrounding precinct at West Lakes.

Visiting clubs and media continued to provide glowing

reviews of the playing surface throughout the 2013 season.

The Adelaide Oval will look to emulate the high standard that

occurred at AAMI Stadium for the past 40 years.

SANFL GRAND FINALA huge crowd of 36,685 streamed through the gates on

a Sunday October 6 to witness the last SANFL Grand

Final held at AAMI Stadium. Norwood defended its 2012

premiership with a win over a gallant North Adelaide. In

scenes reminiscent of another era, supporters were invited

on to the ground for the presentation of the premiership

trophy, giving AAMI Stadium an emotional send-off.

OUR FINAL YEAR – ON THE MOVEI would like to acknowledge the loyal team of Event Day

and Car Park staff who have undertaken their duties in a

professional manner, as I know they have loved working in

this wonderful environment. Some of these staff had been

at the Venue since the first game in 1974. What a wonderful

achievement.

I would also like to recognise the fantastic support we

received from our key match-day partners. They include -

SA Police, Weslo Security, St John Ambulance Volunteers,

Public Transport through the SA Lotteries Footy Express

Service and of course our cleaners. These people, often

working behind the scenes, ensured there was a safe

and enjoyable environment for all those attending. I truly

appreciate their efforts over many years.

Finally, the support and guidance provided by the key

Executives at the SANFL has been invaluable. Without their

leadership and keen interest in the day-to-day operations,

AAMI Stadium would not have enjoyed the long-term

success that it has had.

AAMI STADIUM ATTENDANCE

54

The 2012-13 financial year was one of

significant milestones for the SANFL. Whilst

celebrating 40 years of operation at Football

Park /AAMI Stadium, it was also the final year

for AFL football being played at the venue.

As the SANFL prepared for its future, with Adelaide Oval

to become a major component, Corporate Operations

continued to work closely with partners to transition them

into this new environment.

Sporting organisations simply do not survive without the

support of the corporate sector. In this area, the SANFL is

extremely grateful for the many relationships it holds with

South Australian businesses.

We are delighted with our partners who have agreed to

continue to support the SANFL into the future. In particular;

West End - the SANFL’s major sponsor, and Coca Cola,

McDonald’s, Ford, AAMI and IGA who will all continue as

premier partners.

During the year, we also announced IGA would become the

naming rights sponsors of the SANFL League competition.

We look forward to outlining benefits of this partnership

as the 2014 SANFL IGA League season is unveiled in late

March.

Season 2013 was also the final time the SANFL would

sell corporate suites. Business remained steady, in what

continued to be tough economic times. Many of our long-

term corporate suite partners were successfully transitioned

across to Adelaide Oval for 2014, which is a great outcome

for football.

Late in 2013, we also announced a new partnership with

Channel Seven Adelaide, which will see SANFL games

broadcast on commercial television from 2014. We are

grateful to the ABC for its coverage of games over many

years. The move to Channel Seven provides significant

opportunities for the SANFL to promote the game. Again,

none of this would have been possible without the financial

contribution from our sponsors and we are excited about

announcing these in the lead up to the first broadcasted

game.

Our tagline and theme ‘Your Tribe is Calling’ was used for

the last time in 2013. This has gained strong recall within

our key demographics over the past five years, but with a

number of key changes to the competition from 2014, it is a

logical time to undertake a rebranding exercise. Across the

finals series, the key message was changed to ‘Be part of

History’ as we headed toward the last SANFL Grand Final

to be held at AAMI Stadium.

The SANFL reached a significant milestone with 2 million

unique visitors to the website, and more than 7 million

pages viewed. The organisation’s Facebook and Twitter

sites continued to increase in popularity and the App was

strongly supported.

On behalf of the League, I thank each of our partners. We

look forward to working closely with them in 2014, and

beyond.

CORPORATE OPERATIONS

The 2013 season marked another year of

successful partnerships between the SANFL and

corporate Australia. Amid a challenging economic

climate, the League welcomed new partners in

2013 including Peter Jackson Menswear, while

maintaining the loyal support of long-term

partners. These relationships are essential to the

continued growth of Australian football and assist

at every level - from juniors to the elite.

The SANFL is proud to be associated with a prestigious group of corporate partners and thanks them for their support in 2013.

LION AUSTRALIALion’s partnership with the SANFL

has spanned some 59 years (via

the SA Brewing Company and the

West End brand). As the League’s

major partner, Lion is involved in a

great breadth of SANFL events and

activities, both as a sponsor and a

supplier to the clubs and AAMI Stadium. Lion’s support of

football is state-wide, extending to the amateur and affiliated

leagues throughout metropolitan and regional areas.

AAMIThe League has been extremely

fortunate to partner with AAMI for

the past eleven years as naming rights sponsor of AAMI

Stadium, the venue for AFL football in South Australia.

AAMI’s sponsorship has been crucial in the development of

football in South Australia at all levels, including maintaining

AAMI Stadium, one of the state’s largest entertainment

venues.

Beneficiaries of AAMI’s support have included the hundreds

of thousands of South Australians who flocked to AAMI

Stadium every year and the children taking part in the junior

development programs supported by AAMI.

The SANFL is proud to continue the partnership moving

forward, with AAMI retaining naming rights of AAMI Stadium

for a further two years.

GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAThe support of the Government of

South Australia, through its Office

for Recreation and Sport (ORS),

underpins the programs delivered

by the SANFL’s field officers. These programs contribute to

increased participation levels and healthy active lifestyles for

children across the state including those from indigenous,

multicultural and disadvantaged backgrounds.

The ORS’s ‘be active’ message encourages all South

Australians to take every opportunity to ‘be active’. A popular

initiative of this partnership is the ‘be active’ Kick & Catch at

all SANFL and selected AFL matches.

Despite 2013 being the final year as naming rights partner of

the ‘be active’ League, the State League Competition, we look

forward to developing new initiatives with ORS into the future.

COCA-COLA AMATILThe SANFL’s long relationship

with Coca-Cola enjoyed another

exciting year in 2013, with the

SANFL’s exclusive non-alcoholic beverage partner continuing

to support the game at all levels. This support extends to

naming rights sponsorship of the Powerade Star Search

Award, which acknowledges the talented youngsters making

their mark in League ranks.

Season 2013 also saw the inaugural “Powerade Challenge”

winner crowned, with Matthew Panos from Norwood edging

out representatives from all SANFL Clubs over a number of

endurance and skill-based challenges conducted at AAMI

Stadium.

MCDONALD’S2013 marked the fifth year of McDonald’s

association with the SANFL’s game

development programs and talented

player pathways.

The Macca’s Cup (U18) and Macca’s Talent Shield (U16)

competitions continued to strengthen and when combined

with the McDonald’s U16 and U18 State teams, the talent

pathway remains strong for development of future AFL stars.

The Junior District Leagues (JDLs) grant program, initiated by

McDonald’s, has once again proved beneficial in the provision

of new equipment to assist JDL clubs develop and grow their

junior players.

McDonald’s, through the SANFL, also aided in the

development of childrens’ skills through promotional clinics,

holiday coaching clinics, intra-school programs, carnivals and

a ‘money can’t buy’ SANFL Grand Final experience.

FORD AUSTRALIA Each year, Ford Australia supplies

vehicles that enable the delivery of

junior development programs, to more than 200,000 children

across metropolitan and regional South Australia. Ford

supplied Territory line of vehicles which cover great distances,

transporting SANFL staff across the state, ensuring future

growth of the sport in South Australia.

Ford also partnered with the SANFL to supply vehicles for

the Legends Motorcade at the 2013 SANFL Grand Final.

IGA SAIGA continued its support of the SANFL

in 2013, holding the naming rights to the

Mini League, and the Family Friendly

Areas at SANFL grounds.

Overall, IGA partnered with the League on a number of levels

in 2013, including naming rights of the IGA Family Friendly

Areas and AAMI Stadium arena signage. The community-

minded support of IGA ensures the IGA Family Friendly

Areas are free of smoking, coarse language and alcohol

consumption. At many games, children can enjoy activities

such as face painting.

IGA Family Friendly Areas are clearly marked at all SANFL

grounds and are ideal for families with children who want to

make the most of their time watching local footy.

SA LOTTERIES Since 1987, SA Lotteries has

contributed more than $9 million

to support and develop South

Australia’s recreational and sporting facilities and services.

The SANFL continues to benefit from this support in a

partnership that extends more than 20 years. The SA

Lotteries Footy Express continued

to grow in popularity, with those flocking to AAMI Stadium

utilising this service in record numbers across the 2013 AFL

season.

PETER JACKSON MENSWEARPeter Jackson Menswear came on board as a Premier

Partner of the SANFL in 2013. Peter Jackson Menswear

partnered with the League on the live scores page of

the SANFL website, and secured arena signage at AAMI

Stadium. Peter Jackson Menswear also held naming rights

to the 2013 Magarey Medal red carpet, with galleries from the

night generating over 7,000 views across the SANFL’s social

media platforms.

BALFOURSBalfours has been a tremendous

supporter of football in this state for many years. In 2013,

its association included the SANFL, AAMI Stadium, seven

of nine SANFL League clubs, and the Adelaide and Port

Adelaide Football clubs.

THE GOOD GUYS The Good Guys are a long-term supporter

of the League with their partnership as the

official supplier of electrical goods for the

SANFL and AAMI Stadium. The partnership,

spanning ten years, includes support of the SANFL’s Coaches

Association Coach of the Year, an award presented to the

most outstanding SANFL League coach as voted by their

peers. The Good Guys have five stores in Adelaide located

at Edwardstown (Vince Santoro), Hectorville (Jason Dansie),

Mile End (David Brooks), Noarlunga (Cathie Peters) and

Pooraka (Jim Drivas).

THOMAS FOODSThomas Foods’ Premier

partnership with the SANFL began in 2012 with their support

extending to AAMI Stadium arena signage, naming rights

of the SANFL leading goal kicker award and Community

Football. Thomas Foods are a great South Australian success

story, employing over 2,500 people while boasting the mantle

of the nation’s largest exporter of meat.

and quality content featured in the videos. The page has

received 170,144 views, with the highest watched SANFL

video in 2013 receiving 5,673 views.

PUBLICATIONSUnder the direction of editor Anna Kantilaftas, the SA

Football Budget continued as a must-have read for SANFL

supporters in 2013. Not only did it provide the team lists for

each match, it published regular features and news stories

as well as a weekly poster.

MEDIA RECOGNITIONIn 2013, the SANFL acknowledged the outstanding

contribution of Advertiser journalist Peter Cornwall.

Cornwall began his career as an SANFL writer in 1983, a

role he held with The News and Sunday Mail until 1988,

when he became Deputy Sports Editor at The News.

In 1990, Cornwall joined The Advertiser where he was the

Chief Football Sub-Editor until 2010, regularly editing the

SANFL pages of the paper’s Friday and Monday lift-outs.

As well as enjoying a distinguished career at The Advertiser

– where he is still involved in the Sports Department –

YOUR TRIBE IS CALLING2013 marked the final year of the ‘Your Tribe is Calling’

campaign. First introduced in 2010, it has become a strong

and recognisable brand across the SANFL and broader

community. Based on this success, the catch cry was

extended into 2013.

The Messenger Newspapers wrap-around launched the

2013 season and was reinforced through various media

including radio, print, mobile and online. The mobile and

online platforms proved to be successful mediums for

promoting the 2013 season fixture.

At the completion of the 2013 minor round season, 471,607

supporters had attended an SANFL match. A successful

integrated marketing campaign was implemented for the

2013 finals series. The tagline ‘Be Part of History’ was used

throughout communications to highlight the significance of

the last game to be held at AAMI Stadium. AAMI Stadium

hosted 57,020 fans over the four weeks of SANFL finals,

including 36,685 at the Grand Final.

The SANFL Smartphone App, introduced in 2011, was

downloaded 10,365 times in 2013 (total downloads 35,865).

Norwood battle it out at Alberton Oval, with the Magpies

victorious by five points. A total of 11,688 fans attended

SANFL matches across the round.

The Good Guys were once again the major sponsor for the

AFL-free round, supplying complimentary tickets for the

matches to customers at each of their five stores across

Adelaide.

ANZAC DAYThe ANZAC Day tradition of the Grand Final rematch

continued in 2013, with Norwood hosting West Adelaide

at Coopers Stadium. Once again the match was a fierce

battle, and despite a third quarter charge by West Adelaide,

Norwood won by 40 points. Norwood midfielder Mat

Suckling won the Bob Quinn Medal after collecting 41

touches. The Department of Veteran Affairs again provided

support for the event and despite heavy rain the day

before, the veterans motorcade went ahead to recognise

veterans on-field. Those at the feature match also saw a

SANFL EVENTS

SAASTA INDIGENOUS ROUNDIn its third year, the SANFL’s Indigenous Round

acknowledged and celebrated the impact past and present

Indigenous players have on our game. The Friday night

Norwood v Port Adelaide match at Coopers Stadium in

Round 18 was chosen as the feature match of Indigenous

Round, with Indigenous performers and a traditional Kaurna

‘Welcome to Country’ taking place before the contest.

SAASTA were major supporters of the SANFL’s Indigenous

Round in 2013, with all participating clubs wearing

guernseys designed by SAASTA students.

MAGAREY MEDALThe 2013 Magarey Medal Presentation Dinner was held in

the Magarey Room at AAMI Stadium, with Norwood’s Matt

Thomas taking home the League’s highest honour, five

votes ahead of Port Adelaide’s Sam Gray. Thomas was also

awarded the RO Shearman Medal on the night, with this

Award voted for by the coaches of all nine clubs.

South Adelaide’s Michael Wundke was presented with the

Ken Farmer Medal for topping the goal kicking tally for

2013 - his second Ken Farmer Medal in three seasons with

the Panthers.

Two Reserves Magarey Medals were awarded, with Travis

Schiller from Central District, and Nicholas Homburg from

West Adelaide tied on 11 votes at the end of the minor

round.

The Eagles’ Paul Ventura was awarded the McCallum

Tomkins Medal for best player in the Macca’s Cup Under

18 competition, while North Adelaide’s Liam Jacka was

awarded the Macca’s Cup MVP. Joshua Glenn from Central

District took home the Powerade Star Search Award.

SANFL ‘be active’ GRAND FINALAfter again dominating the League throughout the minor

round, Norwood took on North Adelaide in the 2013 ‘be

active’ SANFL Grand Final at AAMI Stadium. Despite

a third-quarter surge from North Adelaide, the Redlegs

finished the day as Premier, with an impressive 40-point win

in front of 36,685 fans.

Retiring midfielder, and Norwood fan favourite, Brett Zorzi

was awarded the Jack Oatey Medal after being judged best

afield in the clash - a fitting way to finish his career after

announcing his retirement before the game.

A pre-match motorcade of SANFL legends, including Rick

Davies, Michael Aish, John Platten and Grenville Dietrich

helped farewell AAMI Stadium before football moves to a

redeveloped Adelaide Oval from 2014. Mrs Patsy Brebner,

wife of former SANFL President, the late Don Brebner AM,

tossed the coin before the start of the match.

Following the match, for the first time since the 1970s,

fans were permitted on field for the presentation, with

approximately 10,000 supporters helping Norwood celebrate

their win on ground.

LOTTERY

In 2013, thanks specifically to the generosity of Gordon

Pickard and Lifestyle SA, the SANFL conducted the

‘Greatest Footy Club Raffle of All Time’.

The Raffle gave all South Australian football clubs the

opportunity to get involved and raise some much needed

funds for their clubs to upgrade facilities and purchase new

equipment for their teams at senior and junior level.

The Raffle was launched in March at a football clinic for the

junior players of Ironbank Football Club by Central District

greats Chris and James Gowans, who were the Raffle’s

ambassadors throughout the year. The event was well

supported by Channel Seven, which covered the launch

live on its news service through sports presenter Mark

Soderstrom and FIVEaa, which conducted its nightly Sports

Show from Ironbank Oval.

To raise funds for grassroots football across the state,

$5 from each $10 ticket sold in the Raffle went straight

back to the Club which sold the ticket. All clubs were

also incentivised along the way to sell and return tickets

to go into further draws to win $10,000 worth of sporting

equipment or $5,000 worth of IGA Vouchers.

The Major Prizes of the Raffle included:

1. Fully furnished home at Seaford Meadows

donated by Lifestyle SA.

2. Ford Territory from Maughan Thiem Ford.

3. $10,000 Cash.

4. Trip for two to Phuket for five nights with $2,000

spending money through Venture Holidays &

Malaysia Airlines.

5. $5,000 Good Guys Voucher.

The Raffle draw was conducted at the SANFL Grand Final

on Sunday October 6 at AAMI Stadium. The major prize was

amazingly won by SANFL field umpire Curtis Deboy, who

was officiating in the Grand Final between Norwood and

North Adelaide when the Raffle was drawn.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Season 2013, the final year of planning and

preparation for the SANFL’s historic return to

Adelaide Oval, presented the League’s dedicated

staff with significant challenges.

After spending the past 40 years at West Lakes, the

League’s organisational structure underwent major change

during the transition phase.

But the manner in which all members of staff responded to

this transition, and relocation of the SANFL administration to

North Adelaide, was exceptional.

To assist in maintaining a high standard of service during the

last season of AFL football at AAMI Stadium, the Leadership

Group implemented key talent retention strategies to ensure

the best team was available throughout 2013.

This was balanced with the smooth transfer of staff who

chose to pursue employment opportunities with the Adelaide

Oval Stadium Management Authority (AOSMA).

The SANFL supported the transition of 27 permanent

employees and 400 casual employees who chose to

continue their careers at the new home of football in South

Australia.

The outstanding efforts of those SANFL staff who remained

throughout 2013 must be acknowledged, with their

tireless dedication during the 40th year at AAMI Stadium

appreciated by clients and spectators alike.

For many of the staff, working at AAMI Stadium was like a

home away from home, a true reflection of what the iconic

venue meant to them and their families.

The success of three final major events was a fitting manner

in which to pay tribute to the Oval originally known as

Football Park.

A combined total of more than 100,000 people attended the

final AFL match, SANFL Grand Final and Bon Jovi Concert,

with all SANFL staff members maintaining their renowned

quality service right to the final siren.

ENIVRONMENT AND CULTURE

In 2013, the SANFL as an employer:

• Supported career and development opportunities

internally and within the industry, with staff

encouraged to attend local and interstate

conferences and industry events whilst increasing

participation.

• Reviewed, and provided increased flexible working

conditions, in the SANFL’s multiple venues, AAMI

Stadium, Adelaide Town Hall and other Encore

Group venues throughout Adelaide.

• Sustained a commitment to Work Health & Safety

Programs by increasing a focus on safety at work

driven by the Safety Committee and assisted by

Safety Representatives. Improved the

safety culture and safety reporting across the

business.

• Continued to be a pacesetter in staff diversity.

The SANFL is a large organisation with a

diverse group of employees. It is important all

staff enjoy a supportive and harmonious

workplace, free of harassment and

discrimination. Equal Opportunity training was

delivered to the management team by the Office

of the Equal Opportunity Commission of SA. The

response was overwhelmingly positive and the

training delivered strategies to prevent and

manage a variety of situations.

• Reported an exceptional staff retention rate

of 91%. This was an excellent result given it

was amongst a constant background

of change to the League’s operations and staff

structure in preparation for the transition to

Adelaide Oval.

STAFF LIST

64

The underlying profit excluding abnormal items of

$2,125,040 was a $694,939 decline compared to 2012. The

decline was mainly due to the 2012 financial year including

two home AFL finals being played at AAMI Stadium and

higher funding costs being incurred in 2013.

The SANFL reduced its operating costs excluding

depreciation and the write-down in stadium value by 3%.

This demonstrates the commitment of the league to deliver

a positive underlying result in challenging trading conditions.

The SANFL achieved a positive net cash flow from

operating activities of $3.80m compared to $1.28m in 2012

and achieved an increase in cash on hand at the end of the

year of $0.49m.

As in 2012, the SANFL had to write-down the value of the

Stadium due to AFL Football being played at Adelaide

Oval from the 2014 season. There is no longer sufficient

future income being generated at AAMI Stadium to support

its value. The total write-down in 2013 was $12.56m with

$8.55m being charged to the profit and loss account and

the balance adjusted against the revaluation reserve.

This write-down along with the operating loss resulted in

net assets declining by $13.76m to $27.89m. It should be

noted that from the 2014 financial year, the SANFL will

be able to bring a leased asset onto its balance sheet

that represents the fair value of future net earnings from

Adelaide Oval. The asset has been externally valued at

$93.5m. This will offset the AAMI Stadium write-down.

The SANFL anticipates that net assets will increase to

approximately $102m in 2014.

The SANFL increased its borrowings in 2013 to fund

the grants paid to PAFC. Amortisation of this debt will

commence in 2014.
