They certainly went missing after quarter time.
I don't think Rozee,Wines and Co took the foot off I think the pies just put their foot down.

No contract, should make him a permanent employee. Neil Craig says hello.

Surely Port would buy it to display it at Alberton?

Wheels are in motion.

Damn, that's awful about SPP, love watching him play.
Good luck to him in a full recovery hopefully.

He must've pissed her off right royally for her to go to this length.
Even if he has, considering how much she'll get in the settlement it's pretty low taking a blokes medals and stuff.
Does he get half of her year 13 netball premiership medal or one tit?

Hell hath no fury....................

Yartapuulti Football Club has unveiled its 2024 AFL First Nations guernsey, which will be worn during Sir Doug Nicholls Round. 

The annual, league-wide event will take place across Rounds 10 and 11, with the Power set to don the special guernsey in games against Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval and North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena. 

The club is also proud to confirm it will be known as the Yartapuulti Football Club again in 2024 for all games played during Sir Doug Nicholls Round, AFLW Indigenous Round and the SANFL First Nations Round.

This year’s striking strip, inspired by the essence of family, was a collaboration between two-time premiership player, Norm Smith Medallist and 200-game player, Byron Pickett, and his first cousin Melanie Pickett.

The guernsey depicts Byron’s strong connection to family, to the land, and to the Port Adelaide region, as well as the seven current First Nations Yartapuulti AFL players.

“To get asked to do the design for this great club is…I’m a pretty humble guy, I like to think I am, and I was just over the moon when they asked me to design it,” Byron said.

“It (the design) is about family. I’m really big on family. I’ve always put family before myself, it’s just what I’ve been taught by my father, my mother, and my older sister.”

The guernsey design is centred around three round symbols, while the Port River forms the traditional Yartapuulti ‘V’ shape across the chest.

“The rivers represent the Port River, the home of Yartapuulti and my football journey,” Byron said.

“The animal prints on the side of the guernsey are my totems. The bird footprint is the pee wee, that’s my Nyoongar totem on my dad’s side. And the dog print is a dingo (ngubanu), and that’s my mum’s totem on the Yamatji side.

“The background represents my father; he did a painting a while ago with that design on it.

“My dad is no longer with us today, and I just thought because I am really family orientated man, I wanted to include that as a representation of my father.”

Three round shapes sit at the centre of the guernsey and represent three meeting places of great significance to Byron.

“The main shape is Alberton Oval and the smaller shapes around it represent the seven current First Nations Yartapuulti players, plus one that represents me.

“The top shape is a place called Mount Magnet (Budimia) that’s where my mum is from, and the bottom shape is where my dad is from Quairading (Balardong) down south in Western Australia.

“There are three ‘U’ shapes on the back of the guernsey. The teal one is my granddaughter, Zaylera, and the two others are the boys, my two grandsons Z’kye and Zyree.

I know the club is incredibly proud of the work done in the community programs that include the Aboriginal Power Cup and SAASTA program, as well as what is proving to be very beneficial to participants the ADF Veterans program.

Played during Sir Doug Nicholls Round the carnival promotes education in indigenous communities and to be eligible to attend students must have a minimum 80% attendance rate and be passing both academic and behavioral components. The Santos Aboriginal Power Cup is the longest running joint education and AFL community program for Aboriginal students in the Australian professional sports industry.

To be eligible for the program the Power SAASTA Connect aims to inspire First Nations middle school students to complete their schooling and is crafted as a dedicated and direct pathway into the Santos Aboriginal Power Cup, this is aimed at years 7,8 and 9.

The ADF Veterans program, by drawing on the similarities of transitioning from high-performing environments, ex AFL-players and ADF veterans come together to re-identify a sense of purpose and community connection.

Delivered over a six week period, outcomes seek to address challenges associated with transition, mental health, wellbeing and relationships.

In addition to the six weeks, a number of events are delivered across the year with current and past program participants to promote ongoing connection and belonging.

The Power to Thrive program is a resilience and wellbeing program designed specifically for students from Australian Defence Force families.
The program offers a wide range of tools and resources that address the mental, emotional and practical needs of military families.

These tools are intended to help students thrive in any situation by covering themes such as gratitude, confidence, community connection, self-esteem, goal setting and character strengths with all themes linking strongly to the Port Adelaide Football Club’s player development program.

Designed specifically for year 10 students as a primary prevention program, Power to End Violence Against Women promotes respectful relationships and gender equality.
Developed in conjunction with Centacare Catholic Family Services and the Department for Education, this program is underpinned by a vision for young men to foster healthy attitudes to relationships while also challenging entrenched attitudes that can contribute to gender-based violence.

In consultation with the Department for Education, the program complements the Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum that is delivered in both primary and secondary schools.

As an extension to the program, students are invited to attend an annual Leadership Day and Role Model event aimed to share learnings and deepen understanding.
