The meeting was a time to reflect on our amazing 2021 and to thank the committee and volunteers who were integral to our success this year.

We also appointed key club roles being:

#1 AusKick 2021 Winners!

23/10/2021

On Saturday 16th of October, the team from Dalkeith Nedlands Junior Football club arrived at WA's home of footy, Optus Oval for WA football's annual awards ceremony.

As we reflected on the amazing season that was, we also were quietly hoping we would go one better in 2021 and take out AusKick program of the year.

In 2020, we re-shaped the program with many new events. These included super coach sessions, AusKick DNJFC Collegians cup, music and events on Sundays and our transition to junior footy program for our year 2s. These innovations really paid dividends with increased numbers but importantly started building a very strong club and community feel. These enhancements were recognised as we were a finalist for AusKick program of the year in 2020.

Emboldened by the success of 2020 the committee and wider club embarked on some changes and additions in 2021 to make it even better. The move to David Cruickshank and closer ties to Collegians football club started us off in a manner that positioned us for an even better 2021.

Open day was a lot of fun, mothers day super coach, and many other highlights such as half time at Optus - West Coast v Essendon and the Wiluna culturual weekend that featured on Channel 7's sports report that included the Long walk against racism and attending Dreamtime at Optus to name a few. For the parents we even had a 80s night that rocked out to Oats supply at our new home at David Cruickshank's Adam Armstrong pavilion. These plus the 2020 improvements took to program to the next level and saw a 50% increase on 2019s numbers something we are all proud of.


These enhancements and our continued club and community feel were recognised as the #1 AusKick program of the year in 2021.

Thank you to all of the committee, coaches, parents and kids who were part of this special year. We are proud at Dalkeith Nedlands, where "It's local footy club, and everyone's invited!"

​See you in 2022!

What an awesome finish to a truely memorable season!

The kids from all our teams gathered last friday night to celebrate another super season at Dalkeith Nedlands.

The evening started with our future footy stars from PP to year 6 each having their moment in the sun receiving their well earned trophies and team photos.

We had our very special sponsors from Ray White Dalkeith Claremont represented by Vivian, Thomas and Laura and Retail Return represented by Neil come down to present and continue to show why they are very important members of our club's community.

This was followed by dinner for the kids and parents (and a few top ups from the bar) where we entered in to the pinnacle of the evening - Best and Fairest presentations.

This year saw awards for our year 2, 3, 4 and 6 teams for coaches award, runner up best and fairest and best and fairest. Well done to all the recipients of these trophies on stellar seasons.

Then to round the night out in true DNJFC style we put the oval lights on, gots some footies out and we all enjoyed a drink from our bar hosted by our friends at Collegians.

It was also an opportunity to thank our wonderful volunteers who have all played a huge part in making 2021 the success it has been.

​Bring on 2022!

Another super evening run by our super coach Simon Nimmo.

Seeing the drills set up by Simon and our DNJFC coaches was great to see. Kids from PP through to year 6 enjoyed another coaching clinic which was well supported by Collegians players coming down.

It really is a special experience to enjoy learning footy from our top level coach with senior players mixing with all the kids. 

And to finish it all off with a kids v collegians was awesome to see them all get right in to it together.

Finishing the night off, kids enjoyed pizza, parents enjoyed the bar and Chef Ed out did himself this time with Oysters kilpatrick on the menu - Yum!

It was great to see Gala day back in full action after a pause in 2020.

Our AusKick future stars had a ball playing against teams from the Claremont district.

The day started with our PPs kicking off from 8:30 and finishing off with our 2s around 2pm.

Players got a chance to show off their skills they have been learning throughout the year which really shone through on the day.

Thanks to everyone who made it down and the team coaches who supported the teams on the day.

The adults only DNJFC 80s party and fundraiser was a rockin affair for the parents and friends of the club.

With local band Oats Supply rockin out 80s tunes all night the night was a blast from start to finish.

We also had so many generous donors who contributed to our silent auctions and raffles over the evening which made the event a huge success for all. 

Special thanks to donations from our new Mayor Fiona Argyle, Brian Leedman, West Coast Eagles, Richard Tucker from KordaMentha and Rob Brauer from McGrath Nicol all contributing to our major items on the evening.

The clock is already ticking to next years event as it will be a must attend event for all!

Wiluna cultural weekend - just magic!

The 13th Dalkeith Nedlands & Wiluna Martu Eagles game was like no other. 

This year we had the excitement of the time to spend together and the big game but also had the added bonus of Dreamtime at Optus and the Long walk coinciding with the weekend to make it the best trip yet. It was so huge even Adrian Barich covered it on channel 7's Sunday sports report!

The bus rolled out of Wiluna on Friday morning with Ben Doolan at the wheel ready for the big trek to Point Walter the place the Wiluna team would call home over the trip.

The Saturday greeted us with stunning weather and a trip to the WAFL to watch Claremont v West Coast.
We then jumped back on the buses with Ben leading us all to the WACA where we joined 6,000 West Australians on the Long Walk to Optus stadium. This walk is one of great importance and has a long history in Melbourne and occurs each year prior to the Dreamtime at the G game.

We then enjoyed a thrilling game at Optus where Essendon challenged in the final term only to have Richmond run away clear winners. It was a highlight to all who attended.
Sunday and the big game was upon us.

With some rain about it started off with a few warm ups and the important kids vs parents game. A few highlights were on show but as usual the kid prevailed with the parents failing to kick a goal in the wet conditions.

Then we headed to the big game and got underway. The first quarter honors were with Dalkeith Nedlands but there after it was one way traffic with Wiluna running out comfortable winners Wiluna - 11.11 77 def DN 6.9 45 turning the tables from the 2020 encounter.

Half time saw the longest kick and sprint competitions. The first kick had the win with other competitors trying torps which failed to deliver. 

We also had channel 7 news come down and film the game with Adrian Barrich giving the event a great plug as part of his sports report - fun fact his son participated in a past Wiluna game which shows its long and proud history.
It was then time to reflect on the game and celebrate those who demonstrated great skill and great spirit.

The game is the main highlight on both team's calendars each year and the spirit of how the game was played was just awesome seeing kids as young as 6 or 7 challenging 15/16 year olds and everyone looking out for each other.

Well done to all who participated and cant wait to come up to Wiluna next year.
