4 years. Coached at Tanunda and was assistant to Mark Stone at the Bays this year in their premiership. Great guy and coach. Westminster would be rapt to get him back.

Being able to be part of footy tipping at work and tackling players were among the best things about Aussie Rules according to a group of people tasting the sport for the first time.

Edwardstown Football Club is trialling a Welcome to Aussie Rules Football (WTARF) program aimed at introducing and welcoming new cultures to the Towns’ community.

Aware it has a strong multicultural community Edwardstown Football Club was keen to trial WTARF, the first program of its type in the West Adelaide Football Club zone.

About 30 children and their parents, mainly Indian and Pakistan, attended the come and try sessions which included a question and answer type format.

“This could help me with doing footy tips,’’ one parent said.

“It also helps us feel part of Australian society and to have a general conversation about the sport.’’

Originally introduced into schools, Towns followed Kilburn and Greenacres into the new program which aims to spread the world of Aussie Rules but also to make sure different cultures can find a local home – even if they don’t end up playing the game.

The club program works with the SANFL to run selected drills and to provide a run down of the history of Aussie Rules at state and national levels.

Edwardstown’s women and WTARF program supervisor Paul Modra said the program had been rewarding.

“We get all sorts of questions from the group like the cost of footy, why they should play footy over other sports and even about footy tipping,’’ Modra said.

“We say things like it’s a 360 degrees game which improves the child’s decision making and is a chance for the children and parents to join in a new community.

“Long term we would like to see this program branch out to other clubs.’’

“It gives participants a taste of footy and an opportunity to transition to an Auskick or community club program and get involved in the football community at a different level,’’ Mr Diglio said.

“There are currently more than 150 WTARF participants across SA and we are continuing to build multicultural programs in all SANFL zones.’’

The program will have a break now and resume early next year.

This is pretty cool re Edwardstown.

Any reports from Greenacres/Kilburn as to how successful its been?

Interesting considering the chance Stone may move from the Bays.

[JesseWhite]

What are the chances of another CBC v Edwardstown Grand Final? Both strong coming in to this Div and Edwardstown have started recruiting well.

Have Gaza been this low before?

Have Gaza been this low before?

I believe it was mid to late 70’s when they were last in div 3.
They will do extremely well this year. Pretty scary to think how many marks Brett Heintze will average each game too (am thinking 15-20)

[Jimmy_041]

Heintze has always been one of my favourite players to watch.
I don’t know how old he is but he must be up there with the decade long champion players

Does everyone move in slow motion at WOS?

[Dutchy]

Edwardstown lost their liquor licence?

[heater31]

Edwardstown lost their liquor licence?

Community club in Administration.

Why is it always the same Council's community sports clubs in financial strife? WTF are they doing wrong!

It was always going to be a difficult situation to maintain the $$$ when the footy season ended. It’s a big investment and takes smart management to book the place out in the off season. No cool rooms and no facilities to support catering makes it impossible. Council have taken control and are working with the tenants for a resolution.

The Edwardstown Football Club still have all rights and continue to support the facility, we are also in a strong financial position and its business as usual. No, the licence is not in jeopardy.

The full details and a response from our club Chairman has been posted on our FB site for those interested enough to know the facts.

Cheers
