Base Course Management Scholarship

Monday, 22 February 2010 16:01

The East Coast Eagles have partnered with long time supporter Base Course Management to continue the Base Course Management Player Scholarship Program in season 2010.

The program has been created to identify talented footballers who show potential to play first grade football for the Eagles. The scholarship will cover such costs as playing fees, apparel and equipment, gym membership and specialist coaching.

East Coast Eagles Chairman, Gus Seebeck was thrilled to announce the scholarship. "The Eagles have recognised the huge potential of young footballers in the Norwest Region and the announcement of the Base Course Management Player Scholarship will allow us to not only invest time into the development of these future Eagles, but now we can assist with the financial aspects of playing high level football"

Base Course Management General Manager, Steve Gawley, spoke of their involvement with the scholarship program. "What we are able to do by partnering with the East Coast Eagles and offering this scholarship is focus on the long term future of not only the Eagles, but football in the North West Region. We have long supported the Eagles and look forward to seeing some of these young guys running around in the years to come. We are extremely proud to support and implement the program"

Applications are open to all young men aged between the ages of 16 and 20 years including players of all level of experience with Australian Rules football.

Applicants are invited to download the application form from the East Coast Eagles website at www.eastcoasteagles.com.au and by clicking on the Under 18 section of the 'The Club' tab or downloading it from the link at the bottom of this article.

Applications will close on March 20th, 2010.

Members of the East Coast Eagles met with representatives from the West Coast Eagles last week and vowed to strengthen the relationship between the two clubs.

David Elliott, Emma West and Claire Ryan from the West Coast Eagles landed in Sydney and spent a full day planning session with members of the Board of the East Coast Eagles. The meeting was to explore new and innovative ways to build upon the strong relationship that has been in place for 10 years.
 
The West Coast Eagles are widely recognised as one of the most successfully run clubs in the Australian Football League and the opportunity for the East Coast Eagles to leverage off this experience and professionalism will no doubt see East Coast able to maintain its mantle as the premier club in the AFL Sydney competition.
 
Many opportunities were explored on the day covering everything from club membership incentives, marketing and PR opportunities, merchandising and events as well as ways to best celebrate the 10 year anniversary that the East Coast Eagles will celebrate in 2010. The West Coast Eagles will also continue to play hosts to players and administrators during the 2010 pre-season in Perth.

The group came away invigorated by the discussions and look forward to implementing the innovations that came out of the meeting.

East Coast Eagles Chairman, Gus Seebeck spoke of the meeting “It's fantastic to have an AFL club like West Coast so involved in the relationship and so driven to get the best results for both clubs. The support and advice they offer us is unparalleled for a club like ours. We look forward to the opportunities in 2010 and beyond”
 
David Elliott, the General Manager of Supporter Operation at the West Coast Eagles said “It was so great to be able to share in the premiership success of 2009 at the East Coast Eagles. It is amazing how many people in the West follow our Eastern partners. We are excited at the possibilities the partnership presents and look forward to implementing the initiatives discussed today.”
 
The East Coast Eagles were formerly known as the Baulkham Hills Falcons and made the decision to change their identity in 2000. The change in identity was seen as vital to make sure the East Coast Eagles could become a club that could provide a pathway for footballers from right across the North West Region of Sydney. The initial announcement was made in January 2000 and was attended by the CEO of the West Coast Eagles, Trevor Nisbett. Since then, the relationship has flourished with benefits for both clubs. The West Coast Eagles are always well represented at East Coast functions with a contingent also present to share in the 2009 premiership celebrations.
 

In 2009, the East Coast Eagles presented Trevor Nisbett with a fantastic framed memorabilia item depicting the historic 2009 premiership victory. The frame shown here with Mark Nicoski, hangs proudly in the reception of the West Coast Eagles offices in Perth.

Both East and West are excited to continue this relationship for years to come.
 

Changes to the Eagles Board

Thursday, 26 November 2009 11:01

Tony MoranThe East Coast Eagles Board of Directors would like to announce the appointment of Tony Moran to the board for 2010.

The role of Director of Finance was declared vacant when Phillip Bester, who has held the role for 2 years, decided to step down from the Board. Phil has done a magnificent job in the role overseeing many changes to the financial position of the East Coast Eagles over these 2 years. Phil has been instrumental in maintaining a strong financial position for the club, especially with the added financial burden of the fantastic new home ground facilities at Bruce Purser Reserve. Phil has also recently become engaged to his partner Renee and whilst he will still be an avid supporter of the Eagles, he is looking to spend more time with his future wife.
As per the East Coast Eagles constitution, the current board has appointed Tony Moran to the role of Director of Finance to fulfil the remaining year left vacant by Phil’s departure. Beyond 2010, the role will be up for re-election.
Tony Moran first became involved as a sponsor of the Eagles in 2008 through his (then) company Wizard Home Loans. Since then, Wizard has changed entities and is now Aussie Homes Loans, and Tony once again sponsored the Eagles under the Aussie banner in 2009.
Tony brings a wealth of experience to the Eagles Board. Whilst he is relatively new to the game of Australian Rules, he has a strong sporting history, especially in Rugby in Sydney.
Tony also brings a very sound business acumen to the East Coast Eagles and will be looking to further strengthen the clubs position as the premier club in the AFL Sydney.
Tony is also the President of the Sydney Hills Business Chamber and will work with the club to strengthen our ties with local business.
Tony is looking forward to meeting many of the Eagles members and supporters who he has not yet met and will be a regular fixture at events throughout 2010.
The East Coast Eagles are very privileged and proud to welcome Tony on board.
   

Eagles to fly the flag high

Wednesday, 18 November 2009 11:23

Photo by Mark SpiteriThe East Coast Eagles and the Hills Shire Council will bring a little AFL tradition to the Hills next week when the 2009 Premiership flag will be flown high above the Council Chambers.

This tradition is often seen in the AFL when Premiership teams will fly the flag above town halls, major buildings and even once above the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The ceremony will take place at the Hills Shire Council Chambers at 129 Showground Road on Tuesday 24th November at 3.30pm.  The ceremony will signify the fantastic year that the East Coast Eagles had in 2009 and also recognise the fantastic contribution the council has made to not only AFL in the area, but to community sport in general.

The Hills Shire Council undertook one of the biggest sporting venue projects it has ever seen when it embarked on the construction of Bruce Purser Reserve, partnering with the AFL, Cricket NSW and the East Coast Eagles. Its completion in 2009 gave football a new home in the Hills and it is no coincidence that the completion of this fantastic new venue coincides with the first ever AFL Sydney Premier Division flag "heading to the Hills".

All Eagles members and supporters are encouraged to come along to the ceremony and witness the Premiership flag being flown for the first time.

We will then look forward to finding a more permanent home for the flag throughout the 2010 season at Bruce Purser Reserve.
