Womens Football Vs NSW Police
A combined services ADF women's team from Sydney and Canberra played a well recruited NSW Police Services team in the annual NSW Police Games at Picken Oval Croydon Park on Saturday 24 Feb 07. The first quater was an out and out arm wrestle with both teams feeling each other out despite the fact the Police team kicked the first goal with 60 seconds of the game commencing. At the first break the scores where level at one goal two each.
The second stanza saw scoring opportunities reduced but accuracy had increased. Only three goals were kicked in the second quarter, two to the police side and one to the ADF. The ADF had more of the ball and inside their 50 more often but could not make the best of their opportunities. The girls in blue lead by six points at half time.
After the main break the police stepped up a notch as the ADF let in two cheap goals and failed to register a score for themselves. With the job ahead of them and a few changes to the onfield line up and three goals in arrears, the ADF then showed they had come to play by having a six goal one behind quarter lead by surprise package SMN Hailey Merrick. The police failed to build on their three quater time score and never entered their attacking 50 in the last period.
Final Score: ADF 8 - 3 (51) def NSW Police 5 - 2 (32).
Best for ADF:
- SMN Hailey Merrick (Navy),
- CPL Rebekah Allen (RAAF),
- AB Candice Freeman (Navy),
- CPL Amy Hall (Army),
- CPL Kristy Stroop (Army), and
- CPL Emma Hender (Army).

Development Camps
The opportunity exists for female defence members to undertake training in aspects of the Australian Football game that would provide them with an on field competitive edge.
These Camps are a comparatively small scale activity giving participants greater exposure to Australian Rules while providing valuable development of our female players in areas other than ball skills for which the game is otherwise known. In addition, such an activity is an opportunity for the significant development of match thought processes and the finer cognitive dynamics of our game.
In terms of advertising our game, Development Camps conducted on a regional basis will display our product to the wider ADF.
Dot Brief ASAFA Dev Camps 06 provides an overview of these female Football Development Camps which will be conducted in Sydney, Canberra, HMAS Cerberus, Brisbane, Townsville and Darwin during the period Sep - Nov 06.
