Need everyone's help with this Branding Campaign
We are commencing a branding campaign for the new 2012 season proper and we need all your help and assistance. All we are asking of you is to record yourselves either speaking, or singing our club song and to send it in! Very simple and since all phones these days have a camera, very quick to do also. Here are some things to think of before recording:
make sure the place you are doing the recording in isn't too noisy or your voice will get lost in the noise
you can record it by yourself or with as many others as you wish
try to go for variety in your recording by either using props or acting out parts of the club song
by shooting the video somewhere exotic and unexpected (this goes to all our overseas Bullants)
We want all Bullants from the past and the present, both young and old, both guys and dolls to record the song and send it in
Not only is this a branding exercise, we also want to use it to obtain new sponsors, launch the new clubrooms and to have some fun. Once the video is filmed, please upload it to a fileserver and email Spiro on spiroslambropoulos@gmail.com or burn it to a disc and give it to him by the end of March at the latest.
Here's the theme song in case anyone has forgotten the lyrics - GO BULLANTS!
We're the lads strong and bold
and we wear the blue and gold
for good old Bulleen Templestowe
We're the team called the Bullants
and premiers we'll be
we will fight to the finish for B.T.A.F.C.
We're the team that you know
and we're proud to go, go, go !
for good old Bulleen Templestowe

FIDA Bullants BULLEEN-TEMPLESTOWE FIDA TEAM……2012
Round 2 v North Ballarat
Sunday 6th May
With a long trek to North Ballarat, we were hoping for a trip home as winners of the game. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, however an enjoyable game played in fine spirit was enjoyed by all.
With only one game (Nth Ballarat do not have a 2nds team) we took the team bus for our 12pm game. We didn't get off to a great start with North Ballarat with them booting 6 goals 1 point in the first quarter. Bulleen Templestowe only troubled the scoreboard for a solitary point in this quarter. However, there were some good signs with Ryan pushing himself in the ruck and Anthony V running hard.
We kept Nth Ballarat to one goal in each of the next two quarters. Francis was asked to run with their best player in the first half, and in doing so, kept him to one kick in the second half. Peter T was solid in defence again, and Shannon was taking marks through the centre.
The last quarter was a bit of a blow-out as Nth Ballarat kicked away again. Michael L performed well again in the back line against a fairly strong tide of incoming footballs. The scoreboard at the end showed Nth Ballarat winning 14.9.95 to Bullen Templestowe 0.2.2.
Not great on the scoreboard, but when we had Erik showing second and third efforts at the contest, Carlos getting his hands on the ball resulting in a free kick and other great efforts, it makes the long trip home more enjoyable knowing that we had a go.
Up front, Robbie was kicking goals with virtually every kick, whilst Trent was almost marking everything that came his way. The game continued to see-saw through-out the second and third quarters.
Peter Teckenburg was strong in defence, sometimes working it alone against a few of the opposition, whilst Wade was strong in the ruck. Francis and Anthony V both played strong games.
In the end though, it wasn't enough, as Moonee Valley ran out winners with the final score Bulleen Templestowe 8.6.54 to Moonee Valley 11.11.77.
Thanks to Peter (Jamo), Peter S, Harry and Steven for their assistance throughout the day.
Ladyants vs Sheagles Charity Game
The event was an outstanding success and one that all Bullants can be certainly proud of. The event was in support of the Butterfly Foundation with the actual day an unrivalled success. The match itself was fiercely contested between the Lady Ants and the Sheagles with the later taking out the game. The couple of hundred in attendance were thrilled and with a gold coin donation on entry (earning you a football record), sausage sizzle, drinks, raffles and a few auction items we ended up raising over $5000 for charity.
All the participants were fantastic and there was great support from parents, families, friends and our senior playing group.
It was decided to turn this into an annual event to support ladies charities that do not normally gain support or recognition. The brainchild of the event was Michelle Vassos who deserves all the kudos for its success.

Francis Diacono(capt.), Erik Hansen and Stefan Jamieson travelled with the Melbourne All-Stars to play Albury Jets at ½ time in the O&M Grand Final. Francis took part in some great dashes, Erik banged away some mighty knock-outs and Stefan defied all comers across half-back.
The crowd of 10,000 were fabulous in their noisy support for both teams, and it was a terrific demonstration of our league.
Thanks to the girls for coming all that way to support the players. It was a long day, but soooo memorable.
Don't forget…our FIDA team is still open to advances from people or teams of people who would like to coach them next year. Please contact Kim or David Hooper if you could take on this terrific role for 2012.
