FIDA Bullants
Season 1 2009 finalised! Divisions revised!
In a sensational change, our Division 3 team have been awarded a premiership for finishing undefeated at the top of Division 3. This also means an upgrade to the more difficult Div.2B.
This was a major achievement as this is our first year for the beginning of this team. We are so pleased with the efforts of all involved in this award.
Division 1 team are now part of a stronger, more demanding Division 1, with 2 teams dropped and 1 lifted.
We will soon find our large our task becomes as we play our first games in the restructured league.
Season 2…2009….Round 1.
Division 1 vs Kananook Tigers at Parkville.
In a hard-fought contest, our team went down to a strong team after kicking away the chance to set up a sizeable lead.
Scores…Kan. Tigers 6-4-40 def. Bullants 2-10-22.
We learnt a valuable lesson in what happens when a team is not all pulling to look after every member of your team.
Under pressure, we find out a lot about ourselves and how we can keep our confidence up with encouragement…no prizes for putting people's efforts down if you are not winning….time to work harder.
Best players…Francis Diacono, Chris Abraham, Chris Edwards, Andy McCaig, Robbie Edwards, Heath Kiro. But even these players have areas to develop as the pressure is really now on….
It was a hard day at the office!
We now know we need to develop each others' skills if we are to be successful at this level.
Great aspects of the game that were still evident were the running, chasing and tackling, but we need to build our attacking skills more.
Training, training, training! See you there!
Division3. Vs Nth. Footscray at Parkville.
Another very difficult game against a team featuring some seriously good players as you strike in these one-team clubs. We had great trouble with their quick skilful players and were defeated….
Nth.Footscray 13-6-84 vs Bullants 4-3-27.
Best players…Gary Phelps..tireless, Mark Whalley..run,run,run,Luke Rose..cool, Paul Perry..determined, Eric Hansen..effort!
Although beaten on this occasion, there were moments to be savoured…Mark's chase-down, Eric's chases for a big fellow, Gary's determination to compete!
This has been a big learning curve for our team in their first attempt at Division 2B. Winning will not be the level we see as success…it will be the level to which we can raise ourselves and take our friends with us. Never forget to enjoy what your team-mates can add to your life!
- Peter Scannell, Anthony Brown, Jammo, Maccas and the crew.

ANZAC DAY 2009
It is with great pride to remind you all about the significance of ANZAC day at the Bullants.
As in all other years we celebrate the day with Ted Kelly, a renowned rat of Tobruk who will be presenting the medal named in his honour to the Bulleen Templestowe player who shows the most courage, team work and plays in the true spirit of the game.
Ted signed up at 15 years of age in 1939 and served with the 2nd / 23rd Batallion, Albury's own 9th division.
Ted was a Rat of Tobruk, fought at the Battle of Alamein and after returning home from the Middle East in 1943, was sent to New Guinea and fought in the Battle of Lae. It was here that he was wounded and returned home in 1944.
At 2pm will have the traditional Stand To and the playing of the Last Post of which teams playing the early game will be also participate in.
Courtesy of our sponsor in Subaru Doncaster, Ted will be arriving at the ground with his friends and fellow service men at the conclusion of official ANZAC ceremonies. This year is unique in that we are playing on the actual day of ANZAC day, thus the “Ted Kelly Anzac Day Medallion” will be presented by Ted in person at the conclusion of the memorial services at 6:30pm.
Given the late presentation of the medal it is of utmost importance that ALL PLAYERS from ALL TEAMS be present at the clubrooms for this presentation.
There will be heaps of food available through the canteen, the BBQ and the Voglis' family providing another great meal after the game. There is no reason for anyone to be leaving early and for those playing games away from home, your presence for this ceremony is mandatory and expected.
Looking forward to a great day and more importantly, a great win for the Bullants.

Volunteer Roster Group
After a few seasons of success with the volunteer group of supporters to fulfil all the match day duties we are again looking to expand the numbers even further. The more people helping means the less time every one will be rostered on. If you can help, drop Ken Robertson an email. Don't leave it too late as the rosters are being prepared at the moment
