AFL Community Volunteer of the Year
| 
There are people who give their time to a football club… and then there’s our President.
We’ve watched him pour every spare minute of his day (and plenty that aren’t spare!) into this club. He’s the first to arrive, the last to leave, and somehow still finds time to check in on everyone in between. Every inch of our club — from the way it runs at the moment, to the culture, we’re so proud of — is a reflection of the person he is.
He continues to build more than just a football club; he’s building a community. A place where everyone feels welcome, valued and part of something special. He makes things fun, he inspires others to help, and he leads with heart in everything he does.
Theres been some big decisions that have needed to be made in the past few years, none that come with a manual. There’s honestly no way to measure the hours, effort or love he’s given — and no words big enough to say thank you. This award recognises what we’ve all known for a long time; that he is a big part of the heartbeat of our club.
We also want to give a huge thank you to his wife and family, who sacrifice so much time so that he can do what he does for all of us. Their support and understanding allow him to give his all to the club, and we’re so grateful for that.
There’s no award big enough to capture what he means to us, but this one comes close. Congratulations to our incredible President on being named AFL Community Volunteer of the Year — a well-deserved recognition for someone who is truly the heart and soul of our club.
Thank you, Nook
