A big thank you to the Leadership Group who is developing into a pragmatic and
(Laverton) energetic part of the Club, ensuring the player group are engaged and driving the Club
forward.
The Past Players Association has also gathered momentum thanks again to Jeff
Wilson, Gavan Flower, Leon Fairfield and Damien Billman for their contributions.
Ivan Board Trophy: Over the course of the season there are many people that have
given their heart and soul for the Old Westbourne Football Club.
RUSSO PAVING
& Wayne Nott The contributions of whole families, the McGinnes’s, Connors, Lears, Clarkes,
Horsburgh’s and the Boards have put the Club in an excellent position not only for the
future, but have also ensured the day to day running of the Club has been a success.
This year’s winner of the Ivan Board trophy has been shared by two people that have
worked selflessly for the Club on training nights, weekends and spent countless hours
ensuring that all our members are given every opportunity to succeed. It is with great
pleasure that I announce that Steve Herman and Graeme Clark are the recipients

Cartage
(Statewide Labour Hire)
The relationships and the work they have undertaken, not only this year but in years
gone by, will serve the Club in all key areas of its operations and strategic direction,
not only for the now but also into the future.
President’s Message
Graeme is currently on an overseas holiday with his family.
Steve has served as the assistant coach of the Under 14’s and as team manger of not
only reserves but also the seniors on most occasions this year. Steve wears his heart
Albion Hotel on his sleeve and has a motto that Jimmy Stynes has etched into the hearts and minds
of many football followers of ‘doing whatever it takes’. Congratulations Steve and
Graeme.
Life memberships are the highest honour the Club can bestow on any of its members.
Congratulations to Mark Aquilina on receiving life membership of the Old
Westbourne Football Club.
He is not always a mild mannered person but a ferocious warrior on and off the field.
Its not always about the numbers, how many years of service or how many games the
person has played, but about the passion and the commitment of doing something
special not only for me but for my mates and the Club. He is respected and revered in
many close knit circles of the Club. Many times he is unassuming and slips under the
radar. Well done Mark.
Congratulations to all the individual Junior and Senior players for winning their
Wyndham Denture respective team awards, and especially to those who have received League
Clinic recognition. A huge thanks to all the volunteers who were rightfully acknowledged
and thanked at their respective presentation nights, including Committee members.
Patten Pavement I encourage all to attend the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 27th October at
Services 7pm (in the James Mitchell Centre – Westbourne School), and hence remind all
coaches and Committee personnel to submit their end-of-year reports accordingly.

Good rain over August and September has seen the condition of the ovals stabilise
somewhat and, along with maintenance works, we can hope to see a significantly
improved surface over the coming Spring and Summer months, compared with last

…And from the Senior Coach on Presentation Night.
(Laverton)
It was great to see so much support for the Club on a very special night while we are
all after team success it is still important to recognize some individual efforts.
It was an interesting year as far as our results went and our consistency.
Our best was certainly good enough however our worst wasn’t pretty.
We welcomed a number of new players to the Club and it took as a few rounds to get
the team to gel, but I think any time you make finals that is a good result and we
probably finished were we deserved to finish, hopefully from the result the players
RUSSO PAVING learn from areas of weakness and improve on them over the summer.
& Wayne Nott As some of you may be aware I have decided to step down as Senior Coach of
Westbourne, the people who know me well understand this was not an easy decision
and probably wasn’t made until Jo and I found out that we are expecting our 3rd Child.
Given this addition I have decided to free up some time to support my wife and
children.
Amazing football Club, we have been through some challenging times not just on the
footy field but also off, and it was during these times that I realised the importance
the footy Club plays as a support network for all. I had it on the player’s handbook
Statewide Water which we used for recruitment that it is more than just a football Club. I honestly
Cartage believe this and it has shown true in so many of these difficult situations. While we all
(Statewide Labour Hire)
love our football it is actually secondary to the relationships and bonds we build over
SENIOR COACH REPORT
our time at such a great Club. I know for Jo and I we have meet some lifelong friends
here at Westbourne and we thank you for welcoming us in.
Awards
B&F Chris Hudson
Early had to adjust to local footy again which at some times can be challenging, He is
an absolute stand out player in our competition and it all starts with the standards he
sets on the track, which he was able to instil into the team over the last 2 months of
Albion Hotel the season. Work rate is unbelievable the stand out for me was against OP in the last
round were he just willed himself to every contest in the last 5 mins. I have no doubt
he would be a great captain in the future.
R Up Justin Johns
Fantastic recruit to the footy Club, came on as an assistant coach so with the extra
responsibility was still able to stay focused on his footy. Probably didn’t play in his
traditional position on the wing but I thought he just set us up on the half back line.
Another one who leads by example on the training track. Also our highest vote getter
in the League B and F
3rd Swoop
What can I say, Mr consistant over the last three seasons Swooper has finished in the
top 3, which is a fantastic effort, this year he stepped it up with his fitness and came
back pre season in the best shape he has been in since U19 days. He just does the
best he can every week and has clearly had another outstanding season.
Best First Year: Daniel Riosa
Wyndham Denture It’s always enjoyable working with young up and coming players as usually they have
Clinic come up from the junior ranks as the best players and then all of a sudden they need
to work their way back up from the bottom, and let me tell you this guy really
surprised me, he bulked up over summer and came back with plenty of confidence.
Patten Pavement For most of the year it would be fair to say he didn’t play in his preferred position but
Services played a very important role each week, some weeks in the middle others down back.

Coaches Award: Chris Hudson
It’s pretty tough to come up with the coaches award as there are so many players that
work hard and try their best for the team, but this guy is somebody that I believe in
the last 2 years has improved out of site in my view, simply by being able to
understand and implement our game plan every week under all conditions. He is
probably somebody that may not have been in everybody best side come start of the
RUSSO PAVING year but I guarantee he would have been at the end. He played his role and was
& Wayne Nott rarely beaten. I believe in getting honest feedback from the players regularly as if you
get it at the end of the year it is too late, this guy I would call after every single
training session for the past 2 years and would give me honest feedback on training
and games. I know I could not have improved as a coach without his support. He also
understood how important social function where to me when it comes to bringing a
team together and even though he was not the social coordinator he took on this
SENIOR COACH REPORT
responsibility I am sure to help support me and the Club. For these reasons I am very
honoured to acknowledge Miller.

(Laverton) Reserves Report 2010
The team struggled for consistency throughout the season and for a number of
reasons. After starting the season off in fine fashion, winning the first three games,
playing stocks then became limited by injury and unavailability. The fact that again 57
players represented the reserves, is testament to that. The positive comes in the fact
that many reserves players had the chance to be promoted and play senior football,
which wasn’t detrimental to their end result.
RUSSO PAVING
& Wayne Nott Having a number of younger players was a bonus for this Club, especially the core
group that came from last season’s Under 19’s. With youth comes inconsistency and
Team News and Player Milestones
this certainly showed through the middle part of our reserves season.
Persistence and a much better performance in the last seven games rewarded the
players with a finals experience.
& Special News
The one stumbling block to this team was Old Paradians. After two heavy in-season
defeats, they again were too overwhelming in the final.
When we look back as a team, results showed that on our day we were a fine outfit.
Statewide Water
Having beaten eventual premier Banyule and losing to them by only 3 points away and
Cartage running the other Grand Finalist Bentleigh to two close losses, proves that with more
(Statewide Labour Hire)
effort and consistency the team is not far away.
From my perspective, I pass on my best and thanks, to outgoing Senior Coach, Brett
Connors for his fine work. I also wish to thank my assistant, Phil Mesman
who handled the sidelines when I was on the playing field. Steve Herman was an
enormous contributor to our team and his best Clubman award is indicative of this.
To the many other volunteers and committee, your efforts are acknowledged.
Albion Hotel Congratulations must also go to our award winners and Leigh Barnes and Josh Lawn
certainly justified their performance. Our Captains Mark Aquilina, when available and
Dean Stanley, lead from the front. I encourage all players to work hard in the off-
season. I can certainly look forward to the development of some fine youngsters over
coming seasons with the likes of Riches, Zhang, Willson, Diblasi, Andrades and
Leighton to name a few.

gallantly throughout the year and never gave up. The one benefit that can be gained
