2. REPORTS
2.1 PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Since the new Board was elected on the 3rd of August, it has been an exciting,
demanding and exhilarating time for myself, the Board, our CEO and his team at FFV.
Our main target has been to have a Strategic Plan implemented in the New Year of
2008, keeping our sights set firmly on the future direction of FFV.
The real task at hand was to listen to what the football people in Victoria currently thought
about our game and how they believed the direction the FFV should be focused and
driven.
We traveled and made ourselves available to all clubs, across all zones and met with
our six Standing Committees and 24 Zone Representatives, listening and noting with
help from the facilitators from Sports Business P/L all the evaluations and ideas of the
stakeholders.
Additional interviews with relevant state government departments, local councils,
Melbourne Victory, VIS and FFA also took place in November and were folded in to the
mix before the board sat down to commence setting the Strategic Plan Framework.
Members have been invited to attend a Planning Workshop on the 19th December 2007
which we see as one of the most important sessions we will hold to date.
There have been many other matters that have arisen over the last few months and the
CEO will discuss the operational achievements and the new directions from FFA but our
job as a board is to get the long term plan settled so that all our stakeholders can see
where the game is heading in Victoria.
We thank the many tireless volunteers of our game, we are fully appreciative of the fact
that their work load is enormous. Visiting the country regions and seeing first hand their
special conditions re travel , effects of the drought and the isolation from many services
inspired us to work harder on providing equal opportunities for all Victorians.
I can say with confidence that the efforts of all involved in our great game are reaping
great rewards. The number of new participants each year is growing and we are seeing
a wonderful increase in girls playing.
The excitement of seeing the Victorians excelling in various national teams and in the A
League makes us all proud and many can claim some ownership of their success.
Thank you to everyone involved at all levels and I ask that you ensure you give your own
families the attention that they deserve as well as other people’s children when you are
volunteering in our great game.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thanks for your support.
Tony Dunkerley
President
Football Federation Victoria
2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.1 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
It is an honour to be able to table my first report as CEO of FFV since my appointment in early
May. It has from day one been an invigorating yet challenging introduction to the sport.
The first mandate of my employment was to ensure the finalisation of the constitutional reform
process, one which involved administering the election process for the new Zone Representatives and Standing Committees. This was followed closely by an election process for the Board
of Directors via the newly appointed members being the Zone Representatives and Standing
Committee Chairpersons.
I am pleased to report that this process is now finalised and on the 3rd August 2007 the deferred
2006 AGM was held and a new Board of six representatives being Tony Dunkerley (President),
Bart Harrold, Chris Nikou, Jamie Parsons, Mark Trajcevski and Nick Monteleone were elected.
The process of implementing the constitutional reform demonstrated the passion and determination of the stakeholders to see the reform implemented that would provide a voice for all
aspects of the sport.
The new Board has taken the mandate to implement change, principally illustrated by the
Board developing and agreeing to a Board Charter that sets the governance and leadership
philosophies for the organisation.
Following closely on this document was agreement from the Board that a new strategic direction
for the sport be developed and this has required a bottom up approach to the development
of the Strategic Plan. The Board’s commitment to this can not be underestimated as from the
months of September to November they have undertaken a consultative roadshow that included over 20 meetings where every club, Standing Committee and Zone Representative had the
opportunity to express their views in an open forum.
The consultative process has also included state government, local governments, Victorian
Institute of Sport, Melbourne Victory and Football Federation Australia.
At the 2007 Annual General Meeting the Board will outline a blue print for the sport going forward.
While both mine and the Board’s focus has been on developing the strategic direction for the
sport, the office staff have been committed to the delivery of the 2007 season. I would like
to express my thanks to the hard work of the staff and congratulate the clubs participation in
competitions around Victoria and also the Victorian State Teams who proudly represented
Victoria at the National Championships, China Mens Tour and National Futsal Championships.
No doubt the highlight of the 2007 season was the Matildas performance at the FIFA World Cup
in China, in particular Victoria’s own Melissa Barbieri performance in goal for Australia. I am
confident this will provide a great launching pad for the further participation of females within
the State.
The season could not have happened without the support from both local and state
governments, and corporate partners, thank you to one and all for your continued support.
Finally, thank you to all the volunteers including club officials, referees, coaches and the administrators that helped deliver the sport in Victoria throughout the season. Both the Board and I have
certainly heard your concerns and we’re well abreast of the challenges of delivering the sport
and we look forward to working with you as your state organisation going forward.

2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.3 COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
In 2007 Commercial Operations welcomed a new Head of Department who has
continued to maintain strong relationships with existing sponsors and partners while also
working on new relationships that will be revealed in time for the 2008 season.
Nestle MILO continued their naming rights arrangement for all junior programs and
competitions. Their support of MILO GoalKick was again a big factor in the program’s
continuing success.
The program was headlined by a mid-year launch in the City Square, attended by
Socceroo Mark Schwarzer and Melbourne Lord Mayor John So.
2007 saw Foxtel bolster its support of the Federation, taking on the naming rights of the
Men’s Premier League, branded the Foxtel Cup.
The department continued to engage in multi-layered promotional programs including
further investment in web-technologies that will continue to evolve in 2008.
2.3.1 LICENSING PROGRAMS
A ruling by the ACCC in November will see some amendments to FFV’s licensing
program which will widen the number of apparel licensees from four to as many as
eight.
The continuation of the program will help maintain a minimum standard of uniforms for
team’s competing in affiliated competitions, whilst also delivering a valuable revenue
stream to the Federation to assist in the administration of the sport.
FFV thanks COVO Sports, NIKE, Kelme, Adidas, Mitre, Patrick and Spartan for their
continued support.
2.3.2 MEDIA
Coverage of football at all levels is continuing at unprecedented levels, with local and
ethnic media providing significant vehicles for news and information pertaining to local
leagues at all levels.
FFV’s relationship with the Herald Sun has continued and the paper has consistently
given exposure to the flagship Foxtel Cup competition.
In conjunction with TVH, the Victorian Football Show has continued to gain strong
audiences on Channel 31 and Foxtel’s Aurora Community Channel, whilst community
radio station XX Radio carried live coverage of the Foxtel Cup Finals Series.
FFV has commenced web-casting vision of game’s on the Federation’s web site as well
as post-match interviews and magazine style programs that is to be boosted in 2008.
Commercial Operations will continue to foster relationships with all levels and forms of
media to gain even greater coverage of the local game across the state.
2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.3.3 EVENTS
Gold Medal Night was again a success at the Grand Hyatt with more than 500 guests
helping celebrate Victorian football’s night of nights.
This year was the first time that the event was staged without the assistance of an
external event company, ensuring greater fiscal success of the event that was hosted
by Fox Sports Football Analyst Simon Hill and headlined by comedian Dave Hughes.
As was aforementioned, the MILO GoalKick launch and subsequent Today Show
appearance further enhanced FFV’s reputation as a leading vibrant sport in the
Victorian market place.
The department also oversaw the commercial and promotional aspects of the finals
series, culminating in the Grand Final played out in front of more than 5,000 fans.

2.4 FOOTBALL OPERATIONS
2.4.1 COMPETITIONS
In a year dominated by the impact of the drought and advanced staged water
restrictions, the 2007 metropolitan competition season ultimately proved a success, with
more leagues and teams represented than ever before.
Credit is due to all clubs and their administrators in showing faith in a competition season
which at times appeared threatened by the absence of consistent rainfall.
The Foxtel Cup welcomed the introduction of the Australian Institute of Sport, who were
a breath of fresh air with the energetic style of football they brought to the table. Their
inclusion allowed the Victorian Institute of Sport to also grace the Under 21 competition,
and they finished a creditable fifth in a league comprising sixteen teams.
The Preston Lions were the standout performer throughout the home-and-away season,
claiming the minor premiership after an awkward start which only saw them notch their
first win of the season in the fourth round. After a surprise defeat to the Whttlesea Zebras
in the Major Semi-Final, the Lions proved a class above in an entertaining Grand Final,
winning 3-1 against the Zebras at Bob Jane Stadium.
The Women’s Premier League saw a new champion, with Heidelberg United claiming
it’s first ever championship courtesy of a nail-biting 3-2 win over Box Hill Inter. It was just
reward for a team that had come so close the previous season.
2007 witnessed the introduction of the Men’s Metropolitan League, a competition
designed to provide a bridge between the Men’s Provisional League and the Men’s
Thirds League. Keilor Wolves were crowned the inaugural Metropolitan League champions, and it appears likely that the league will comprise two divisions in 2008 as interest
levels continue to rise.
At junior level, the Under 18 Super League was launched as a development pathway
for our younger players and match officials into the Under 21 Men’s Premier League.
The competition was largely showcased at the Darebin International Sports Centre, and
Melbourne Knights were crowned foundational champions.
2.4.2 REGISTRATIONS
From an administration perspective, the 2007 season witnessed the rollout of the
National Registration Regulations, which incorporated all of regional Victoria registering
their participants on-line for the first time since the SportNet system was introduced in
2004.
Over 42,000 participants registered their players on-line, along with completing the
paper-based form process required by FFA.
Overall, participation numbers continued to climb in almost all categories.

2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.4.3 REFEREES
FFV has enjoyed another successful year on the refereeing front. As will be further
detailed in the section relating to tribunal, the Federation took a major step towards
building greater respect for officials by instituting a zero tolerance policy towards the
abuse of referees, amongst others.
The state’s elite referees have continued to be recognised on the big stage, with six
Victorians taking up positions in the A-League coupled with Jim Ouliaris and Hakan
Anaz gaining experience in Asian Football Confederation competitions.
Total numbers in the officiating ranks remained strong, hovering around the 1,000 mark,
whilst the continued growth in young referees – both male and female – has been an
encouraging sign for the sport moving forward.
2.5 ELITE DEVELOPMENT
2.5.1 YEAR IN REVIEW
Elite Development has enjoyed a year of exciting developments, highlighted by the
launch of the new V>Elite Program, which had close to 2000 players enter the initial trial
phase.
The Women’s National Training Centre moved to a full time program through out the
year while the performance of the state’s teams at the Girls and Boys National Youth
Championships was much improved on years gone by.
Victorian players again stood up to be counted across our national teams, with
standout elite players Melissa Barbieri, Kamal Ibraham , Petar Franjic, Tedros Yabio,
Matthew Theodore, Amy Jackson as well as breakthrough performances from up and
coming players like Enza Barilla, Millie McLean and Stef Cola.
Elite Development continues to build on Victoria’s reputation as a leading football state
with the success of its development program, new targeting initiatives, revised squad
formats, high quality staff appointments (Ange Postegoglou) and a strong aspirational
culture of elite performance and success. Coaches and Staff have worked closely
with stakeholders to ensure our footballers have had the best possible preparation and
support.
Futsal continues to grow within FFV with participation numbers and affiliation numbers
increasing with 1728 register players and 33 registered referees.
FFV’s coaching department had over a 1000 coaches complete accreditation
courses. These include junior, youth and senior accreditations. Further to this, a number
of coaches have embarked on their Asian Football Confederation licensing courses.
Melissa Barbieri remains established as the number one keeper for the Matildas and
for a large part of the year was unavailable to the NTC program whilst the Matildas
prepared for the World Cup and Olympic Qualification.
NTC staff were able to further facilitate her development by assisting her to be registered
with the Richmond FC Foxtel Cup Under 21 team.
2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
Looking ahead, the release of FFA’s Game Development Plan means further work
needs to be undertaken in partnership with our stakeholders to sustain the momentum
built over the last year.
The coaching area has continued to deliver a series of seminars and courses that is
continuing to shape the development of football educators in the state. FFV accredited
more than 1,000 coaches through out the year while the organisation has continued to
deliver regional areas better access to coaching education.
As well as regular courses, coaching development has been fast tracked by the
inclusion of a series of Work Shops which have covered various coaching topics over
the year.
The Annual Elite Coaches Conference was held at Rydges on Bell and St Monica’s
College and was again a great success bringing together some of the best coaching
minds in the country, delivering varied content to more than sixty coaches.
Australia’s move into the Asian Football Confederation saw the conversion of senior accredited coaches and above to the globally recognised AFC curriculum. FFV
Coaching and Development Manager Harry Bingham has taken a leading role in the
delivery of exclusive AFC accredited courses through out the year.
2.5.2 TRAINING PROGRAM
FFV works with coaches at a vast array of training venues across the State. The FFV Elite
Development department staff, together with head coaches, assistant coaches and
staff monitor and oversee the training and competition schedules for coaches within
the state program.
2.5.3 COMPETITION PROGRAM
FFV sent four boys and two Girls state teams to the 2007 Qantas National Youth
Championships in Coffs Harbour. Victoria was represented by both Country and
Metropolitan sides in both the Under 14 and Under 15 Boys age groups and the
Under 15 and Under 17 Girls. The tournament represented a gruelling eight day
event.
The Girls State Championships were again held at FFV Headquarters with increased
numbers and a pleasing improvement in the standard of play. Over 400 female
footballers showed their wares to the various selectors on October 13-14 with more than
3000 people enjoying the football carnival.
2.5.4 WOMEN’S NATIONAL LEAGUE
With a large preparation schedule facing the Matildas in a World Cup year there
was no formal Women’s national league during 2006-07. FFA has flagged plans to reintroduce the competition in 2008-09.

2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.6 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
2.6.1 CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM
Over the year there have been significant steps taken to finalise the number of zones
and their boundaries to enable FFV to move forward with the election of a new Board
of Directors. This was ultimately achieved in July 2007 and now we have an elected
board that is truly representative of a democratic process the sport can be proud
of. Moving forward, FFV is in the process of developing a new strategic plan that will
provide football with a framework that will enable it to realise its growth potential and
become a leader in service delivery.
2.6.2 GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
A big part of FFV’s success in delivering Constitutional Reform has been the strong
working relationship we now have with Government and the various government
funded departments. This was clearly evident when FFV met with the Minister for
Sport, Mr. James Merlino, Mr. Carlo Carli MP (Member for Brunswick) and other state
government ministers in a general discussion regarding the directional path of football
and the needs and issues facing our sport.
Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV) and VicHealth continue to provide FFV with
valuable funding. 2006-07 saw the conclusion of funding under the Pathways to
the World Game Scheme (SRV) and the Partnerships for Health Scheme (VicHealth).
In addition, the Women’s Sport Package funded through SRV also drew to a close,
however, FFV continues to commit resources into a legacy program that will see an
ongoing focus towards the development of initiatives that will create further participation
opportunities (active & non-active) for women in football.
Government remains critical to FFV’s ability to service the football community, and we
look forward to their ongoing support in the future. VicSport, as well as the Australian
Drug Foundation through the Good Sports Program, provide FFV with tremendous support,
particularly in the education of clubs and volunteers. The ongoing support of CMYI,
Victorian Multicultural Commission, Regional Sport Assemblies, Department of
Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, Play by the Rules, Onside Victoria, and a host of
other organisations is greatly appreciated.
2.6.3 LOCAL GOVERNMENT
One of the biggest issues facing FFV is the ability of Local Government to meet the
forever increasing demand for grounds and facilities to cater for the growth in football.
To that end, it is fair to say that councils are gradually and positively shifting their focus
in meeting this demand. FFV has been trying to do its bit to expedite the process by
forging strong interpersonal relationships with council executives, recreational planners
and consultants across Victoria.
One of the key outcomes of 2007 has been the finalization of the Eastern Region
Soccer Strategy. After almost two years of work, the steering committee made up
of six councils (Whitehorse, Maroondah, Knox, Boorondara, Manningham & Monash),
SRV and FFV are close to releasing the final report. This challenging project will provide the key stakeholders with the blueprint to understand the needs of football and
provide improvements to infrastructure that will attract more people to the game.
Not surprisingly, a number of other football strategies have emerged that involve

collaborations between Casey/Cardinia/Yarra Ranges, Bayside/Kingston and Moreland/
Hume/Moonee Valley councils in addition to those individual council projects undertaken in-house.
From a country perspective, there has been tremendous work carried out in Ballarat
and Bendigo in the development of regional football centres, which we anticipate
will take further shape in 2008. Bringing together a broader range of stakeholders in
a collaborative sense will only serve to improve our sport’s ability to see further facility
improvements and upgrades and FFV is keen to proactively support and engage going
forward.
2.6.4 COUNTRY AND AFFILIATED PARTNERS
FFV has continued to work hard at establishing clearer lines of communication and support structures with affiliated partners, particularly in Country Victoria. The constitutional
reform process over the last 12 months has certainly provided FFV with an opportunity at
building closer links with our regional stakeholders.
2.6.5 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Following on from Melbourne victory’s tour in July, the Victorian Men’s State Team
partook in a two-match tour of China in mid-October. Despite losing both matches
against Dalian Shide FC (1-3) and against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical FC (0-1), the
tour was tremendous learning curve for what was largely a young and inexperienced
squad. FFV was successful in enhancing its player/coach pathway process and
building some key strategic partnerships.
As a result of the key strategic partnerships developed over the last six years, FFV is
now in a strong position to develop, control and implement its own international
arrangements. FFV is currently in the process of finalising future tours for its senior men’s
and women’s representative teams in 2008 as well as appointing an international
football coach to assist in the development of our representative teams and further
those business opportunities in China.
2.6.6 SPECTATOR BEHAVIOUR
This year saw FFV take serious steps in curbing and dealing with poor spectator
behavior in football. FFV will continue to work with its clubs, State Government, Victoria
Police, Security Providers, Football Federation Australia and its security consultants to
create a framework that will make football venues safer, more comfortable and family
friendly. A significant part of this project will involve the development of partnerships via
the engagement of those key stakeholders and the rollout of educational forums and
policies that will mitigate risk going forward.

2.7 TRIBUNAL AND APPEALS BOARD - A DIVISION OF
OPERATIONS
2.7.1 HEARINGS
2007 was a watershed year for the FFV Tribunal and Appeals Board. Not only were the
number of Tribunal and Appeals Board members boosted, the amount of matters that
went before the Tribunal increased. In 2006, 89 cases were heard before the Tribunal
and Appeals Board. In 2007 that number had risen to 163, representing an increase of
85%.
The increase in Tribunal hearings can be attributed to a range of factors including:
• The tougher red card fixed penalty player suspensions which created more appeals
from those penalties.
• The new FFA Regulations.
• The new zero-tolerance policy in junior fixtures which FFV introduced during 2007.
• The fact that there are more participants playing football than ever before would
likely equate to a natural increase in Tribunal and Appeals Board misconduct
matters.
• A more vigorous investigative process undertaken by the disciplinary staff.
TABLE A: NUMBER OF TRIBUNAL AND APPEALS BOARD HEARINGS
The Tribunal and Appeals Board typically sat on a Wednesday night. This convention
will continue into 2008 and 2009 respectively, although at a new venue.
TYPES OF TRIBUNAL AND APPEALS BOARD HEARINGS
Throughout 2007 a wide range of cases went before the Tribunal for determination. The
matters have been classified into broad groups as outlined below. From time to time,
some cases fall under more than one category and in those instances those cases are
recorded against all of the categories they fall under.

• Club Misconduct: Misdemeanors include riots, spectator misbehaviors and misconduct by
club officials.
• Player Misconduct: Player misdemeanors that do not fall under the red card fixed penalty
system but which have been identified and charged by FFV.
• Match Protest / Ineligible Players: when a team accuses their opposition of playing a player
that was not entitled to take the field of play due to suspension, incorrect registration, or other
ineligibility.
• Abandoned Matches / Final Score Determination: When a match is not completed due to
misconduct the matter is frequently referred to the tribunal to determine appropriate penal
ties for offending parties and the final outcome of the match.
• Contract Dispute: When a party to a contract (whether a player or club) alleges that the
other party has failed to fulfill their contractual obligations.
• Outstanding Player Wages: When a player alleges that a club has failed to pay them as out
lined in their contract.
• Other: Undefined or unique cases.
2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
2.7.2 RED AND YELLOW CARDS
The 2007 season saw the Disciplinary Department administer over 1000 suspensions
across Senior and Junior Competitions, stemming from red cards and the accumulation
of five yellow cards respectively. In total, there were 1266 such suspensions. They can be
categorized as 790 senior red cards, 181 junior red cards and 295 instances when five
yellow cards were accumulated.
Some interesting and notable facts include:
a) 206 of the 1266 player suspensions were as a result of a player using offensive,
discriminatory gestures and/or language against a match official, another player
or other persons; and
b) a total of 355 player suspensions were as a result of a player receiving a second
caution (a second yellow card).
One encouraging note that can be derived from the player suspensions tally this year
is that the number of player suspensions has decreased. In 2006 there were a total of
1448 player suspensions, as compared to 2007’s 1266.
2.7.3 FFV ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY IN JUNIOR GAMES
In 2007 the FFV Tribunal heard a disturbing number of cases involving the use of
offensive, insulting or abusive language against junior players. Often such language
was used by club officials, coaches and spectators.
In response to such cases, the FFV Board in June 2007 wished to make it clear that
its primary concern is the welfare of children who are playing in FFV junior football
competitions. The Federation’s judiciary has handed out its findings accordingly.
2.7.4 NEW DEVELOPMENTS
RULES AND REGULATIONS
One of the major challenges this year for the Disciplinary Department and Tribunal and
Appeals Board members was working with FFV’s existing set of Rules and Regulations.
Looking to the future, the Disciplinary and Operations Department have commenced
the revamping of FFV’s Rules of Competition and Regulations. Sports Lawyer, Tim
Frampton has been briefed to begin drafting. While the process has just commenced
and the end product is still to be produced, we are aiming for a consistent, clear and
fairer set of rules for all of the parties subjected to them.
NEW TRIBUNAL VENUE FOR 2008 AND BEYOND
Throughout the 2007 season, the Tribunal and Appeals Board held its hearings at FFV
Headquarters in Thornbury. In 2008 the Tribunal hearings will be held in a new venue
at the Psychologists Registration Board, level 10, 379 Collins street, Melbourne (on the
corner of Queen and Collins Streets), and is a purpose built facility with court rooms and
meeting rooms.
2007 Annual Report
2. REPORTS
TRIBUNAL AND APPEALS BOARD MEMBER RECRUITMENT
At the start of 2007 FFV had just 12 tribunal members on the roll. This was too small a
number when typically two tribunals operated on a weekly basis, resulting in at least
6 members being used. With only 12 members, some people were being asked to sit
several weeks continuously, which was not desirable.
Throughout the season over a dozen new members were inducted. There are now 26
Tribunal members on the roll. In addition, three more Appeal Board members were
inducted, increasing its number from five to eight.

2.8 FINANCE REPORT
On completion of the audited financial statements of Football Federation Victoria for
the financial year 31 October 2007, FFV reported an operating profit of $ 44,625 resulting
in an increase in the Federation’s retained earnings to $469,036.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
• Consolidated revenue increased by $640,479 whilst expenditure increased by
$660,320 compared to the 2006 financial year.
• Net assets increased by$44,625 after decreases in total assets and liabilities through
the financial year.
• This financial year the FFV invested in additional developments to the Sportnet
online registration system including online team registrations for Metro Junior,
Women’s, Thirds and Masters leagues.
• Access to all regional affiliate clubs to allow regional clubs to register players online
and the capability for Metro and Regional club official details to be updated online
as part of the FFV strategy to provide clubs with real time access and reducing the
requirement for paper form lodgment.
• The FFV signed an agreement with the Victorian State Government Sport Recreation
Victoria to participate in the Drought Relief Community Sport & to the value of
$75,000 along with Tennis Victoria and Cricket Victoria. The amount incurred in 2007
financial year was $25,000 the balance of $50,000 will be incurred in the 2008
financial year.
• FFV invested in capital improvements at the Darebin Sports International Centre
including the installation of lights on pitch 3 to the value of $95,734.
• Depreciation increased by $100,481, an increase of 29% due to continued
investment in software developments and infrastructure improvements at DISC. FFV
has estimated that the useful life of it’s customer management system is to end 31
October 2008. As a result FFV has accelerated the depreciation of the system and
has recognised an additional $79,345 this financial year. This is due to FFA planning
to introduce a new CRM database to replace Sportnet in season 2009.
We take this opportunity to recognise the efforts of club officials who volunteer their
time to the benefit of participants, clubs and the football family. Finance look forward to
continued support in the development and growth of the game in 2008 and beyond.
