Vale Ted Kelly & Ted Gould
We are also sad to announce that Ted Kelly has passed away today, Tuesday 31.
Ted Kelly was a proud Bullant always lending his time and energy to our senior and junior clubs.
Ted Kelly helped the Bullants remember Anzac Day every year and in honour of his war efforts, we named the Ted Kelly Medal in his honour, for the player who exhibited courage and valour whilst playing.
Ted signed up at 15 years of age in 1939 and served with the 2nd / 23rd Battalion, 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.
We are also sad to announce that our 1976 Club President Edwin "Ted" Gould has passed away.
We should stop and reflect on the contribution Ted and his mates made in establishing our great club. As a founding Life Member of the Football Club, he was also involved with the formation of the Bulleen Templestowe Cricket Club.in 1970.
Ted was a very affable and friendly gentleman with a perennial smile on his face.

Junior Grand Finals
The YJFL Bulleen Templestowe Grand Finals were played consecutively at Balwyn Park on Sunday.
U10 BT 6-2-38 def Glen Iris 4-12-36
U11 BT 2-3-15 lost to Macleod 6-6-42
U12 BT 4-6-30 lost to Kew1 12-9-81
Under 12's were coached by our Stephen Pallozzi. Lachlan King one of our U10 players won the competition B&F.
We enjoyed a night of celebration of the efforts of everyone in our marvellous club. Every player received their years medallion with the highlight …Emeil's now famous upraised arms!
50 game certificates went to Emeil, Veronica Milicevic and Peter Teklenburg, this year's captain who led by example in every way.
100 game certs went to Robbie Edwards, Anthony Brown, Andy McCaig, Wade Zimbolani and Shannon Joyce. This is a sensational effort as we only play about 12 games a year…..many years of great effort are needed to reach this great success.
Wade also gained the Coaches' Award for BT1 for the year. He carried the ruck load right through the year until Rick arrived to give him a hand…no small task. Shannon received the Award for BT2, and coupled with his sports award from Banyule City Council, represents a magnificent year from him also.
Peter Tecklenburg and Erik Hansen received the MVP trophy from the FIDA league for their efforts in giving our club such a fantastic reputation in the league.
So many highlights to a great night!
There were most appreciated speeches and thank-yous to all who have helped us this year. Kim Hooper for her work over many years, Jammo for all he does for us at training and on game-day…and for cleaning the rooms for the night, Anthony Brown for coaching BT2 and with all that comes with that task, and Donny Ardin for his umpiring, especially last-minute call-ups!.
To BT club itself, we thank all those who have enabled us to keep our team on the ground. Mario and Spiz, and Sipper(Rest well, our friend) and Terry Harisiou and Greg Chivers for helping present the trophies and to all who help with sponsors, liaison and finances…every little bit is just so important.
BT1 Best and Fairest.
Michael Young. 2. Francis Diacono. 3. Chris Abraham.
What a fantastic three-some who put so much into each game and carry themselves so well. Michael's first year with us was a cracker, and he and Robbie Edwards and Chris also represented North-of-Melbourne in the Rep game.
BT2 Best and Fairest.
1.Mark Whalley. 2. Luke Rose. 3. Andrew Harland.
These young men formed the back-bone of a group that gave us much pleasure during the year.

2010 Army Challenge Award How you all can help the Bullants win $5000 for our club
At the end of the season the club in each state with the most metres kicked will win the grand prize of $5000 which can be spent on something for the club. The game's objective, which can be played once a day, is to kick the most amount of meters for the club, once you've registered just keep logging on and playing for 2 minutes (that's all it takes).
By kicking metres for your club you will also get rewarded. Each time you play, you will be supporting your club and will automatically be in the running to win great prizes. Every week you get involved, you will have the chance to win Rebel Sports vouchers or a Sherrin football.
We are currently in the top 5 with only 11 players, lets all get on, once a day to get the Bullants back to the top.
Volunteer Roster Group
The volunteer group of supporters are needed to fulfil all the match day duties. As such 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 Rob Florance an email on rkfprint@optusnet.com.au
