That would notcome as a surprise to anyone, but in thecontext of size of the business that wemanage, it always amazes me that thereare so many high level people who areseeking to learn from what we do.Under just about any measurement, an AFL club is a small to mediumsize business. That it attracts the amount of interest from the broadestrange of people is just one of the aspects of this environment thatmakes it different, and perhaps the reason why a person such as ChrisConnolly attracts as much interest as he does each time he speaks at acorporate function. The fact that he is highly entertaining and articulateadds to the mix, but there are many who seek to gain from the manylessons that a senior coach has learnt in the cut throat environment ofAFL football.There has been a great deal of focus on Fremantle over the past yearand in particular the turnaround that has occurred both as football teamand as a business. Both are clearly linked and Chris Connolly has playeda key role in both. What has often been underestimated in all of this isthat the product itself had, and continues to have, enormous potentialand it is appropriate to give recognition to those who set the Club up inthe first place. We take for granted many facets of this club which arenow central to the strong position we are now establishing, but moreimportantly will form the core of the powerful club that we must becomeif we are going to be a consistent premiership contender. These include:1. The fact we are Fremantle – based in Fremantle and an extension ofthe great Fremantle sporting tradition. At the same time we are notlimited by our heritage. As I have often said the word Fremantle is anoun, verb and adjective.2. We are different, a little bit edgy. We wear purple, a colour we aremaking our own. The anchor is a great symbol, despite misgivingsabout it tethering us to the bottom.3. Our football has also somehow been different, for lots of reasons.There was Gerard Neesham’s style of play, our indigenous players,the space and run at Subiaco, and with a promise from the coach toplay more attacking football this year, it would seem that this willcontinue.Many of the reasons why Fremantle was criticised and mocked in itsearly days are now the same reasons why we have a great opportunityof building a great club. Even the club song is starting to sound good.There is great expectation at Fremantle, and that is very importantas we build this club. Great clubs set high standards and have highexpectations. We will not however get ahead of ourselves in this regardas we are realistic in terms of our maturity, and there are factors thatwe cannot control. We aim to make the eight, win a final, but at thesame time build one of the great clubs.Fremantle will have its day, let there be no doubt.© Fremantle Football Club 2004. All rights reserved.

FeatureAthens BoundWhen the Athens Olympic Games roll around later this year, keepa keen eye and a part of that famed Freo passion in reserve for110 metre hurdler Kyle vander Kuyp and 100 metre sprinter AdamBasil. Both these athletes have been tuning up over the summerwith Fremantle’s Strength and Conditioning Coach Adam Larcom.BASIL, KNOWN SIMPLY AS BAZ, has beenunder the guidance of Larcom for the last twoyears. Long distance coaching hasn’t beeneasy with Basil based in Melbourne but withdetailed training programmes set by Larcomand the dedicated approach by Baz to make itto Athens, the two have managed to go a longway to seeing Baz achieve his dream.Larcom manages to catch up and review Bazwhenever the team was playing in Melbourneand make any necessary modifications to thesprinter’s training schedule. And the distancehas proved to be no barrier to delivering withBaz running a personal best time of 10.29seconds in 2003 and competing in the 4 x 100metre relay team at the World Championshipsin Paris in the same year where the teamfinished sixth in the semi final.Paris provided Baz with much neededexperience at an international meet anda valuable stage on which to assess hisprogress.Baz moved over to Perth and trained atFremantle both on his own programme andwith the team during the pre-season. PlayersPeter Bell and Troy Simmonds trained regularlywith Baz at Perry Lakes as part of theirextended running programmes.Baz’s daily training over summer under thewatchful eye of Larcom was an intenseconditioning phase of his preparation to gethis body ready to run fast, to develop hisracing speed and to keep him durable over thequalifying races and for the Olympics.The first Telstra Grand Prix meet of the seasonwas held at Perry Lakes in January where Bazran 10.34 seconds over the 100 metres tofinish second behind Matt Shervington by 0.01of a second. With the Olympic qualifying timerequired for the 4 x 100 metre relay team setat 10.45 seconds, Baz has shown he has whatit takes to perform on the Olympic stage.His place on the Olympic team should beconfirmed when the team is announced inJune. With Shervington and Patrick Johnsonfailing to run in more recent Grand Prix meetsdue to continuing leg problems, the door isopen for Baz to secure a place as one of thetwo 100 metre sprinters.The results achieved from the trainingprogrammes set by Larcom that saw Bazcontinually deliver better times over 2003,prompted renowned athletics coach Roy Boydto contact Larcom to see if he could assistwith 12-time Australian 110 metre hurdlechampion, Kyle vander Kuyp.A veteran of the 1996 and 2000 Olympics,the consummate professional who made the110 metre hurdle final at the 1996 AtlantaOlympics was still looking at improving andultimately repeating that feat again at Athens.The approach by Boyd was to work on Kyle’sspeed, particularly before the first and lasthurdles, and to build his durability. Arrivingin Perth, Kyle quickly settled into his trainingroutine at FremantleIn a short 6 week stay, Kyle achieved apersonal best sprint time over 60 metres andalso a personal best power clean lift. Larcomwas asked by Boyd to get him quicker andstronger and while that was achieved in thegym and on the training track, it was in raceconditions that it would need to be tested. Atthe Perry Lakes Grand Prix meet race Kyle notonly won his race but was excited after therace saying that it was the best he had run andthe best he had felt in a race. Since that dayat Perry Lakes he has won every single raceand ran a best legal time of 13.66 seconds, hisbest race time since 2001.This time is an Olympic B qualifying time andonly 0.11 seconds away from the Olympic Aqualifying time. The programme for Kyle isdeveloping further and Kyle’s target of threeOlympic games is within reach.Initially in awe at the level of intensity by whichboth athletes attacked each training session,the players were quickly at ease and welcomedthe unique opportunity and experience to trainwith these elite athletes and to be able toexchange ideas and experiences.But for Des Headland the opportunity to trainwith Kyle was an extra special experience.Des represented WA and won the national 110metre hurdle title at under 16 level. Kyle washis role model as an athlete.Both Baz and Kyle appreciated the facilities atthe Fremantle headquarters and in particularthe support given by all the staff and playersduring their stay over summer. They will returnto Perth to continue their preparation for threemonths at the completion of qualifying racesbefore they make their way to the home of theOlympics to fulfil their dreams, four years inthe making.Fremantle Football Club March 2004 5

Sponsorship NewsBankWest increases supportBy now you’ve all probably noticed the new name on the team’s playing jumpers. BankWest hasrecently increased its level of support for the Fremantle Football Club by becoming the new majorsponsor for the 2004 and 2005 AFL seasons.THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP recognises the positive outlook for bothBankWest and Fremantle, and recognises the energy, drive and spiritthat are alive and well in both organisations.The Fremantle Football Club has shown how commitment, dedicationand passion are the key ingredients for success. These traits are alsothe hallmarks of BankWest’s business – withoutthem the Bank would not have become themost successful financial institution in WesternAustralia.BankWest has had a strong connection withFremantle as a Premier Sponsor for the last fouryears. Both organisations are part of the richhistory and cultural fabric of Western Australiaand this new level of partnership provides bothorganisations with the strength and confidenceto make their mark on the national stage.BankWest is about to enter an era of growth,particularly on the East Coast, where the Bank is seeking to establishan even greater presence and this aligns closely with the Club’s plansto dominate the competition, both at Subiaco Oval and interstate.Put simply, there are great synergies between the two businessesand, together, BankWest and the Fremantle Football Club are aformidable team.Catering cuts the MustardCATERING AT SUBIACO OVAL has alwaysguaranteed that the smell of hot chips and piesfill the stadium on a cold day, that a cold beercan be held high to toast the winning team andthat corporate guests can dine in the finest style.Over the years Mustard Catering (a divisionof the Spotless Group of companies) hasexpanded its services to ensure that all fansenjoy their match day experience whether outin the stands or high in a corporate suite.Mustard provides food, drinks and service forup to 5,000 people choosing to view the gamefrom one of the dining rooms, boxes or suites.Mustard Operations Manager Nicole Murtaghexplained that there is a lot of hard work andcommitment needed to provide the first classservice Mustard is now famous for.She said that often people don’t understandthe work that goes into the preparation formatch days to guarantee our guests receivehigh quality food and service.“It takes a full week to coordinate each match.Monday is clean up and stock take from theprevious weekend, then preparation all startson Tuesday for the coming match,” she said.“We have to process orders, restock theoutlets and bars and ensure sufficient food andbeverage is ordered for the week’s production.”Mustard Catering chefs manage an amazingamount of product each week.“We use up to 150kg of beef, 200kg ofchicken, 100kg of cheese, 200 loaves ofbread, and 2000 bread rolls,” she said.“Our Chefs are producing nearly 60 differentmenus every match and it is honestly amazinghow it all comes together.“Production is in full swing the week beforeand the morning of the game until about twohours before a match starts, then the chefsare allocated to a function and deliver theweeks work to our guests.“During the week up to 30 chefs create themasterpieces and up to 80 chefs and kitchensupport staff finish the work on match days.“We also keep two or three chefs on standby todeal with last minute additions and changes.”However the general public at the footballshould not think that all the work goes intoservicing the corporate rooms with Spotlessproviding all the food and beverage in each ofthe outlets around the ground.There is over 200 Spotless staff in food anddrink outlets to satisfy the cravings of the fansand Spotless staff are well trained to preparefor the large crowds on game day.“It can be very hectic when everyone wantsfood and drinks at half time, being only 20minutes,” she said.“We can sell up to 2000 sausage rolls andpies, 2000kg of hot chips, and about 8000litres of beer per match.”BankWest’s Major Sponsorship of the Fremantle Football Clubrepresents the biggest single commitment that the Bank has evermade to a community organisation and BankWest is confident that theinvestment will provide all parties, including the WA community, withmany benefits and opportunities.BankWest recognises that it has a responsibilityto support the community in which it operatesand is therefore committed to giving back to thepeople of Western Australia through sponsorshipand donation initiatives. BankWest’s communitysupport programme has many facets. Overthe past year, the Bank made donations tocharitable organisations and provided fundsand volunteer assistance for various appeals.BankWest also sponsored many worthycharitable, arts, rural, sport, industry andeducation-based programs and events. Apartfrom the Fremantle Football Club, BankWest alsosupports the WAFL and Clontarf Boys Academy as the Bank believesit is important to develop local talent and show support for the localcompetition which is the breeding ground for football stars of the future.2004 is sure to be a great year for the Fremantle Football Club andBankWest is delighted to be an integral part of the exciting times ahead.SPONSORS ON BOARDFor the first time in Fremantle’s history allof the club’s major sponsorship propertieshave been sold.Along with the continued commitmentof BankWest for the next two years asthe Major Sponsor, West Australiancompany ALLPHONES have become aPremier Sponsor with their logo appearingon the playing shorts for the next twoseasons. The sponsorship is a great wayfor ALLPHONES to continue their nationalgrowth their association with Fremantleis a fantastic way for them to carry theirmessage around the country.And in the final chapter of securing theClub’s major sponsorship properties Alintahas remained as a Premier Sponsor withthe Club and the game day balls used atSubiaco Oval this year during the home andaway season carrying the Alinta name. Thenaming of the game day ball is a componentof Alinta’s three year Premier Sponsorshipof the Club until 2006. Alinta has been avalued sponsor of Fremantle since its entryin to the AFL and more importantly as theClubs Major Sponsor from 2000 to 2003.Match trends show that although healthy foodlines have been introduced hot chips havealways proved to be the most popular item forthe average patron at the footy.“But every match is different. Differentmatch times, weather and opposition teamsdrastically affect our operations on a matchday,” she said.“Fremantle supporters are in general wellbehaved, very passionate about their gameand always in good spirits.”Fremantle Football Club March 2004 7

Up Close – James WalkerIn his seventh year at Fremantle and not one to often grab the headlines or the accolades hedeserves, the quiet and unassuming James Walker is set to play his 100th game for the Club andtrue to his way, he prefers not to make a fuss of the milestone and simply focus on preparing forthe long home and away season of 2004.WHILE HE HAS BUILT a successful career asan AFL footballer, there is much more to theunpretentious and hard working Walker thanmeets the eye.He sat, barely minutes out of a grinding preseasontraining session, drinking milk andquite prepared to reminisce on his life, footballand life after football.His story began when he was taken number sixoverall and Fremantle’s first selection in the1997 National Draft. James hails from Ballarat,northwest of Melbourne, famous for the Eurekastockade and producing Tony Lockett.However relocating to the West andleaving behind family and friendswasn’t easy, but James is clearlycomfortable with life, WesternAustralia and Fremantle.After being drafted in 1997 Jamessoon realised that settling in to Perthand leaving his home town of Ballaratwas not going to be an easy exercise.“I had very mixed emotions when Iwas drafted, I was very happy to begiven the opportunity because I reallywanted to play football from a veryyoung age but in the same breath itwas a big shock,” he said.“I had probably been a little bit naïvein that I hadn’t really considered thefull ramifications of moving so faraway… it’s funny I mean when you’re18 you think you know the world butyou are really so inexperienced.“Perth’s certainly home now… butI did get homesick quite badly acouple of times in the first two yearsparticularly. I had taken on too muchwork load off the field and it was thefirst time that I lived in an out of homeenvironment and had to establishmyself and all my domestic routines.In a lot of ways that is a very steeplearning curve… so second semesterin my second year I took time outof university and was able to devotemore time to football and to gettingmyself into a routine at home, and that madeconcentrating on footy much easier.“As soon as I became a regular in the teamthere was a lot less to worry about. Part ofthat is because you get to travel so often andyou’re back in Victoria six or seven times ayear to play games, so that alleviates it a bit.At first I felt like I was missing out on thingsback in Victoria like all my friend’s birthdaysand that sort of stuff but you begin to realisethat they are always there and you always getto see them when you catch up. You don’t tendto feel the pull home as strong and you don’tfeel like you need to get back there as much.“Mum and dad did come over and it is alwaysgreat to have them here, they definitely alwayssupport me and have always supported meas much as anyone can, but I never got to theemergency call stages.”James grew up with a very strong familybackground in football and even from a youngage, he knew for him, it was the elite level ofthe AFL competition he wanted to achieve.“My great grandfather Gordon Coventry playedfor Collingwood and his brother Syd Coventrywas Captain and won the Brownlow Medal in1927,” he said.“And my grandfather Alec Denny also playeda couple of seasons at Collingwood beforehe had to go back and work on his familyfarm because they couldn’t support the farmwithout his input. So I have always been awareof my strong football heritage and I was verymuch a Collingwood supporter when I was ayoung fella… I followed them quite avidly.”James himself is not short of family support,regardless of them being on the other side ofthe country.“They [my parents] come to games inMelbourne and mum and dad drive to Adelaidea fair bit when we play there, actually theyhave been to a game in Canberra too, so theyare fairly well travelled,” he said.“I am definitely not lacking support on thatfront that’s for sure… which is great. Mybrother and sister come to games too, mysister is 19 she is studying at the moment andmy brother is 24 and he works in Melbourne.”James’ initial time in Western Australia wasspent with a family friend from Victoria withwhom he stayed in his first year. But afterbecoming more comfortable with life inWestern Australia, he is now a home ownerand lives alone with his dog Ali. James saidhe enjoys catching up with his “host” familyalthough free time is these days ‘of theessence’.“I do still see them when I get a chance,” hesaid.“And they usually come to the games, but yeahit’s good to catch up with them, unfortunately Idon’t do it all that often.”And it’s no wonder he runs out of timefor leisure, if the 2004 pre-season isanything to go by, James doesn’t havetime for much else than train, eat andsleep.This year, as part of his specialisedprogram developed by Fremantle’sStrength and Conditioning coachAdam Larcom, James has beentraining with Olympic 100m hopefulAdam Basil.“I used to do a bit of athletics as ayoung fella back in school I don’tthink all this has come of interest ithas been more of a progression for myprogram. I have a pretty individualisedprogram as Adam Larcom has sort ofmapped out a fairly specific programfor each individual so we are notjust trained as one collective groupand within that there are even moreindividual components,” he said.“So with that I got to train withAdam Basil in some of the earlierstages of pre-season so it was agood opportunity to test how quicklyI could go against someone right upthere in terms of Australian runners.He obviously has a lot of talent and itwas good to try and measure myselfagainst him… I would like to say thatI knocked him off, but that wouldcertainly be telling a lie… he is prettyquick.“I went down to compete once at Perry LakesStadium on a Saturday afternoon and I ranalright, I don’t know that I set the world on firebut I ran a PB and surprised myself a bit… butthere is still a fair bit of work to be done.”Fremantle Coach Chris Connolly said in thetwo years he has coached Fremantle, Jameshad shown a professional attitude and been aconsistent performer.“He has taken his training to another level andpound for pound he is one of the strongest inthe Fremantle playing squad,” he said.Along with training and his extra work inathletics, James has been working for abroking firm Patersons, The AustralianStockbroker, since he completed his degree atUWA in 2002.“I do about 15 hours per week there and it hasFremantle Football Club March 2004 11

Up Close – James Walkerbeen fantastic because they have given methe opportunity to get some experience. I ammore or less just trying to get a hand on thewhole process of Corporate Finance and it’sreally very interesting – I have been given avery good opportunity,”he said.“I did a year full time atMelbourne Universitybefore I got drafteddoing my Commercedegree and when Igot to Fremantle Itransferred to UWA and just studied parttime… I took a couple of second semesters offbut eventually chipped away at it… and it wasgood to get it done and have something that Icould say I have been able to achieve.He said future studies were not out of thequestion but gaining experience in thebusiness world to prepare him for life afterfootball was at this point a priority.“Potentially I could do something postgraduate but at the moment I am quitecontent plugging away at getting a look atthe business world and getting some realexperience to see what it’s like and if I enjoyit and at the moment I am really enjoying it,”he said.“Right now I am very happy to be doingthe work as opposed to the study, I think Iprobably hit saturation point at the end of thecourse, it had been six years and I needed todo something else for a while.”Season 2003 was undoubtedly the mostsuccessful year in the history of Fremantle,making the finals for the first time and historymaking crowds being recorded throughoutthe year. However, with experiencing the goodtimes, James is one of the few that also feltthe hardship of the tough times.“2001 was an incredibly tough year and I thinkbecause we were going so poorly as a team asmuch as you wouldn’t like it to, it does have areal bearing on your life outside of football. SoI think as much as anything the impact that“it has always been agreat source of prideto see how loyal oursupporters are”had on your self esteem and your outlook onthe world was quite negative,” he said.“Contrasting that with last year I started torealise exactly why I started playing football.When you’re winning you can really enjoy theatmosphere, I knowI have already said itbut the fans, it wasamazing to see themout in force in a waythat we could bring somany people together.“For me it was 2003 that made me realise alot about how much I enjoy playing the gameand why I began playing it in the first place. Itwas great to get back to that sort of feeling.”Perhaps it was his own ‘love of the game’ thatenabled James to be grateful for Fremantle’spassionate supporters, because in 2003 itwas obvious that the players were eager toshow their supporters just how much theyappreciated the continued loyalty of their fans.“Yeah it has been a great initiative of theplayers to go to the crowd at the end of a gameas a group, because our supporters have beenfairly long suffering. I mean we only have abrief history but it’s not a history laced withsuccess, so it has always been a great sourceof pride to see how loyal our supporters are,”he said.“We are just trying to give something back. Solast season, to have a winning season and toplay in the finals it was great to be able to givethem something, well a bit, back and hopefullybring us into a successful era. I mean thewhole idea of us going to the crowd is to showthem that we are appreciative of everythingthey have supported us through,” he said.There was an enormous amount of excitementin Western Australia prior to the 2003 finalround derby and the elimination final, butJames said he isn’t one to get caught up in theall the media hype.“I do get selective about when I read thepapers, I mean before a big game I don’t knowif there’s much to be gained from immersingyourself in that sort of stuff, I just try andmove through the week without too muchdeviation from my normal routine,” he said.“But in terms of the finals build up, down hereat training we had 8000 people and that wasa pretty amazing feeling. For me, having beenhere through the bad times, it was a greatexperience to have those people come down tosee what potential Fremantle has as a footballclub, to really be quite a big part of the AFLand I think that was sort of reflected in thecrowd. So those sorts of things are more whatI enjoy about the build up.”With a lifestyle full of so much action, Jamesis happy to head home to a more peacefulenvironment, to spend time with his staffy ‘Ali’and prepare for the next day.“I go home and take Ali for a walk and thenmost of my night just revolves around the nextday. I like to go to see a film, listen to musicand that sort of thing and I do eat out with theboys quite often.“I like doing stuff that’s not too physicalespecially after a big day at training.”Hopeful of another successful year in 2004James said he believed the team couldestablish themselves in the higher part of theladder.“I hope 2004 is in the same vein as last year,and the development chain in 2004 continuesat the same pace as 2003 and I think if thatdoes happen we can be a really good side.There is every indication from our pre-seasonthat we have progressed well.”Just ahead of his 100th game this year, Jameswas truly modest when reflecting on hisachievement.“I don’t really want to get ahead of that, I amhappy just to see how it goes, it’s just one ofthose things,” he said.James stormed home to win the 100m race at theAFL Grand Final last year.12 Fremantle Football Club March 2004

FeatureBigger, Stronger, FasterAny player will tell you that pre-season training is their leastfavourite part of life as an AFL footballer. Skills and strategiestake a back seat to sweat and toil with gruelling sessions inthe gym and on the track in the heat of a Western Australiansummer, all a critical part of preparing bodies and minds forthe demanding home and away season.FOR STRENGTH and Conditioning Coach AdamLarcom, this year is the next step in continuingthe development of the players from whathas been achieved over each of the previoustwo years. This next step is very much aboutthe individual with personalised pre-seasonprogrammes for each of the 44 players overthe 17 weeks of rigorous pre-season training.The science behind the training programmesis extensive and planning for this pre-seasonbegan in July 2003. All elements of a player’sphysical capabilities and performance aremeasured continuously during the year and thecollection and analysis of this data is a criticalcomponent in the development of individualprogrammes.So what has this pre-season delivered? Wellfor the first time, we reveal what this preseasonhas delivered, the big performers andimprovers across the range of measures usedby Larcom.TRAINING VOLUMESEach player has specific training volumes setby their programme for the 17 weeks of preseasontraining. Of the 44 players, 38 haveachieved the maximum training volumes set.Of those that did not, 6 players have been inthe rehabilitation group at various stages overthe pre-season – Troy Cook (ankle surgery),Luke Webster (knee), Shaun McManus (groinsurgery), Scott Thornton (viral infection), DanielHaines (knee), Luke McPharlin (leg soreness).“These outstanding volumes achieved are farin excess than that achieved over the last twoyears,” said Larcom. “We have had a sizeablenumber of players who have had completelyindividual running programmes.”“For these players their bodies are at a levelready to cope with a very intense and eliteform of strength and conditioning”.“Peter Bell, Matthew Pavlich, Troy Simmondsand Paul Hasleby in particular have trained inthese more advanced programmes in additionto the set pre-season volumes”.“They have not missed a game through injuryover the last two seasons and this pre-seasonhave been ready to move to this elite level.”“They have extensively developed theirown physical capabilities and have beenoutstanding over the pre-season.”RUNNINGThe running programme has been much moredemanding with an emphasis on speed andstrength when running fast over increaseddistances. More work has been put into their 90to 100 per cent speed than the last two years.SPEEDThe big speed improvers this pre-season have been(in order) Peter Bell, Andrew Browne, MatthewPavlich, Ben Colreavy, James Walker, RogerHayden, Paul Medhurst, and Robert Haddrill.LACTIC (SPEED-STRENGTH) ENDURANCEThis measures the ability to repetitively run fora number of repetitions over 80 metres andmaintain speed. Even though they are tiringafter many repetitions over 80 metres theindividual is able to maintain the speed achievedover the first 80 metres. Troy Simmonds, DanielGilmore, Justin Longmuir, Des Headland andMatthew Pavlich have been the big improversthis pre-season compared to 2003.BEST MIDFIELD RUNNERSWhen speed, speed endurance and otherrunning measures are combined to provide arating of the best midfield runners, MatthewPavlich tops the list followed by Paul Hasleby,Andrew Browne, Peter Bell and Matthew Carr.400 METRE SPRINTThe outstanding personal best results overthe 400 metre sprint this pre-season are DesHeadland (50 seconds), Matthew Pavlich (51seconds), Troy Simmonds (52 seconds), PaulHasleby (53 seconds) and Aaron Sandilands(55 seconds). To put these into perspective,Cathy Freeman ran her Olympic 400 metre goldmedal race in Sydney at 49.32 seconds.WEIGHTSThe functional weights programme has focusedon developing strength, particularly lower bodystrength. Most importantly, the emphasishas been on weight gain relative to speed,elasticity (jump) and strength. “The overallaim is about effective mass gain that resultsin players having a higher power/weight ratio,”explains Larcom.“We have had some great examples of whathas been achieved.”“James Walker can power clean 125 kilograms,run a 100 metre sprint in 10.87 seconds, andhis weight gain has been 4 kilograms,” saidLarcom. “He has gained 10 kilos in powerclean and a 0.20 second increase in speed.”“Paul Medhurst, Matthew Carr and AaronSandilands have all lifted 130 kilograms andTroy Simmonds 135 kilograms.”“Troy’s lift of 135 kilograms is the best ever inthe Club’s history.”“This pre-season we have had 25 players settheir personal best lifts in power clean.”The other outstanding personal best powerclean lifts have been James Walker (125 Kgs),Antoni Grover (125 kgs), Shane Parker (125kgs), Matthew Pavlich (125 kgs) and PaulHasleby (120 kgs).BODY WEIGHTSMuch has been said about weight gains ofplayers but Larcom explains that it is notabout gaining weight, it is about developingeffective body mass. Some players may gainand some may lose weight as the table belowshows player weights at the time of the finalagainst Essendon in 2003, the first week ofpre-season training and at the end of the 17weeks of hard individual pre-season trainingprogrammes:Player Final Week 1 Week 17 ChangePeter Bell 80.3 82.7 79.3 -1.0 kgTroy Cook 80.0 80.2 85.0 +5.0 kgJeff Farmer 73.0 73.0 76.2 +3.2 kgDaniel Gilmore 86.6 89.1 91.8 +5.2 kgAntoni Grover 90.1 91.8 95.5 +5.4 kgRobert Haddrill 92.0 92.8 98.8 +6.8 kgRoger Hayden 74.8 79.1 81.3 +6.5 kgDes Headland 88.6 87.4 86.5 -2.1 kgJustin Longmuir 94.1 95.0 100.4 +6.3 kgLuke McPharlin 85.2 88.8 91.7 +6.5 kgPaul Medhurst 84.4 87.0 91.7 +7.3 kgMatthew Pavlich 100.2 100.6 98.2 -2.0 kgGraham Polak 87.0 84.6 89.9 +2.9 kgAaron Sandilands 113.6 114.2 120.8 +7.2 kgByron Schammer 74.5 75.6 79.4 +4.9 kgAndrew Siegert 91.3 92.5 95.2 +3.9 kgTroy Simmonds 95.0 97.6 102.3 +7.3 kg“The 22 players who took the field in the finallast year against Essendon are 90 kilogramsheavier this year,” says Larcom. “They arefaster, our speed has increased at the samerate.”“Durability, speed and weight gain are what wehave focused on.”“A perfect example is Paul Medhurst who hasput on 7.3 kilograms, built up his strengthlifting a personal best power clean lift of 130kilograms and been one of the best speedimprovers over 40 metres this summer,”Larcom said. “And he has the best standingvertical jump of any player at 79 centimetres,and even that has gone up by 3 centimetres.”“It certainly gives you something to thinkabout, especially opposition coaches.”Larcom’s programmes integrate weights andrunning more intimately than has traditionallybeen the case in AFL. The players’ bodies haveto be ready for the AFL season, more durableand be able to cope with the increased paceand physical demands of the game.“The challenge is for players to transfer theirphysical development into football games,”said Senior Coach Chris Connolly. “The playersachieving this will go to the next level asfootballers.”Fremantle Football Club March 2004 15

FeatureGymnastLends a HandIn yet another innovative step in Fremantle’s coachingprogramme, Olympic gymnast Allana Slater has joined forces withthe Fremantle coaching staff for the 2004 season. The 155cmgymnast has volunteered her services after a chance meetingwith Senior Coach Chris Connolly at the end of 2003.ALLANA’S DISCUSSION with the coachparticularly focused on the development ofconsistent routines in gymnastics and led toan invitation being extended to visit Fremantleand talk to the players on the importance ofconsistent routines and also the mental approachto recovery from errors in skill execution.“Exposing our players and coaches to eliteathletes across a wide range of sports can onlybe of benefit in their development,” Connolly said.“It is not only the fact that there are certainaspects of each sport that our players and coachescan learn from but also the individual mental andphysical skills of athletes in those sports that canbe of tremendous value to our players.”“We have had many of Australia’s leadingathletes and coaches meet with our playersand coaches.”“From Luc Longley and his experiences in theNBA to Eddie Jones as coach of the Wallabies,we are able to broaden our learning andexperiences from the very best and that canonly be of benefit.”“With Allana we believe that the importance ofthe consistent performance of routines in skillexecution that she must have in gymnastics on thenational and international level is a mental strengththat will be of benefit to our players, particularly forexample in taking set shots on goal.”“Allana will assist our skills coach KevinBall with the advanced kicking programmehe established last year and are developingfurther this year,” said Connolly.Beginning her gymnastics career at just16 months of age, 19 year old Allana is thelongest serving WAIS gymnastics membercommencing with WAIS at aged 6, andcompeting internationally since aged 10.Allana boasts an impressive list ofachievements in her long career includingSimply by having your 2004 Membership stickerdisplayed on your car’s windscreen you have thechance to win double movie passes each week ofthe season thanks to our new sponsor The MovieMasters.Each week a lucky car displaying the“I HAVE THE PASSION” will bespotted around Perth’s streetsand the winning licenceplate will be displayed onthe home page of theClub’s web site (www.fremantlefc.com.au).The winner simply hasto call Kristy on 94337000 to claim their prizeof a double movie pass tobeing captain of the first ever Australiangymnastics team to win a medal at a WorldChampionships in 2003.

FeatureTae’s storyFor Santo and Joyce Merenda, their decision to abandon the IVFprogramme and choose to adopt a child over three years ago hasestablished a very personal connection with Fremantle and itscaptain Peter Bell.ATTENDING NUMEROUS seminars run by theDepartment of Children’s Services in EastPerth, it was the inter-country presentationthat was the most significant for Santo andJoyce. When they arrived for the seminar inSwanbourne, the only parking bay available wasin front of an Australian poster sign with a verylarge photo of, guess who, Peter Bell.“I remember saying to Joyce at the time, doyou think God wants us to go to Korea,” Santosaid. “At the time we only knew Peter as afootballer, not personally”.After the day long seminar, there was no otherthought than to adopt a child from Korea.Santo’s involvement with the South FremantleFootball Club, led him to ask manager BrianCiccotosto if he knew Peter Bell, as Peter hadbeen a South Fremantle player before startinghis AFL career.“Brian arranged for me to speak to Peter sothat we could understand as many issuesabout adopting Korean children as possible’,Santo recalls. “Brian made the contact for me,and Peter agreed to speak to us.”“He came to our house and after a longdiscussion recommended that we also speakto his parents.In another significant coincidence, aftermeeting Peter’s parents, Santo and Joycerealised that they went to the same church,and both families have become very goodfriends since.In July 2003 the Merendas received thenews that they had been waiting for. Theyhad been allocated a son in Korea. No timewas wasted in making their way to EastPerth to look at the photo of young Tae andsign the paperwork, then move on to theDepartment of Immigration to attend to Tae’simmigration visa.The coincidences continued. As they waitedin line at Immigration, who should happento be in the queue as well but their localpriest. The Merendas shared their great newsand the following Sunday the priest told thecongregation of the impending arrival of Taeinto the Merenda’s lives.The following week Peter’s mother offered anyassistance she could to Santo and Joyce, evenoffering to go to Korea with them as she hadlived in the country and spoke the language aswell as having something in common, as Peterwas an adopted Korean.No second thoughts were needed. TheMerendas gratefully accepted the offer andthey left to meet their new son on 11 October2003. The completed Merenda family arrivedback in Perth on 18 October 2003.Proud parents Santo andJoyce with baby Tae.“Our brief time in Korea wasmade so much easier havingMrs Bell to show us the ropesand to interpret for us,” Santosaid. “We are extremelygrateful for all her help.”“Naturally we would beecstatic if our son was tofollow in Peter’s footsteps andprogress to the A.F.L.”“We are delighted to have ournew son who gives us endlesspleasure and will alwaysbe proud, doting parentswhatever path Tae choosesto pursue.”“Mrs Bell has become one ofTae’s godparents, along withanother seven family membersand friends, including mybrother, Joe.”“Tae has also signed up withthe South Fremantle BulldogPups, as well as becoming aFremantle junior member.”To The PointWhile on the trip to London for theexhibition match against Collingwood lastyear, Cameron Schwab, Chris Connolly andAdam Larcom enjoyed a day trip to Paristhat included a “romantic” cruise along theRiver Seine, enough to prompt the CEO topropose to partner Cecily via SMS. “Theonly problem with SMS is that the answeris not immediate,” quipped Schwab. Andwhile he was waiting for the reply he madeit clear to the coach and fitness guru that“if I get a knock back this didn’t happen.”Thankfully the response was yes.Peter Bell married long time girlfriend LanaCouanis on December 28, 2003Matthew Carr and partner Leith celebratedthe birth of their baby boy Jaren on January27, 2004. Jaren weighed in at nine poundstwo, the exact same weight as Matthewwhen he was born.Membership Services Coordinator TanyaBushby married her childhood sweetheartCalvin Payne on February 29, 2004.Skills Coach Kevin Ball and his wife Annehad twin boys Jack and Benjamin onFebruary 12, 2004.Did you know that Assistant Coach Stephen“Stav” Malaxos played in the very first littleleague game in WA?Former West Coast Eagles BusinessOperations Manager Steve Rosich joinedthe Club as Marketing Manager in January.Daniel Haines and partner Chantel becameproud parents of baby daughter Ellah inOctober.Business Development Manager DavidPitts married girlfriend Vanessa Loncar atCottesloe Civic Centre on Saturday 24thJanuary 2004.Marion Shervington left the Club to enjoyretired life on Friday 13th February 2004following ten years of service as BusinessDevelopment Manager.

Matthew Pavlich was best man butnearly didn’t make it back from Melbourne.Celebrating with his Australian team matesafter the series win against Ireland, Pavdecided he had time for a quick nap beforeleaving for the airport. Needless to sayhe nearly missed the plane, boarding justin time.Clive and Meredith Waterhouse welcomedbaby daughter Casey in October last year.Ever wondered what the staff at Fremantleget up to during a hectic season to unwind– well here you go!

However, Dr. Krank’s experiments have hadfar from perfect results (witness mosquito girl and alligatorboy) and, although Spot’s transformation to human iscomplete, not all the calculations are exactly correct. It’lltake his best buddy Leonard and his quirky pet pals (a catnamed Mr. Jolly, and a boisterous bird named Pretty Boy) tohelp him out of his “tight Spot” and try to right this geneticwrong. “Disney’s Teacher’s Pet” is rated G and opens incinemas on May 6th.34 Fremantle Football Club March 2004
