Hi All,![]()

As you all may be aware Harpers Field and the Golden Grove Football Club have a proud history relating to the Harper Brothers who lost their lives in World War 1.![]()
![]()
Previous years we have honoured this history by representing them each year at the Dawn Service at the Tea Tree Gully RSL.![]()

There is no better feeling than seeing the GGFC walking down the road all together from the TTG Hotel down to the TTG RSL as a group wearing our GGFC apparel. Then after the service this year we are all going back to the Club where there will be breakfast of Bacon & Egg rolls on offer for $5, the bar will be open for a short time from 8am to join the tradition of the Anzac Day spirit.![]()
If interested, we will all be meeting at TTG Hotel carpark at 5:20am!
Last week, our U18 Girls team were treated with a special surprise, with Port Adelaide's (and GGFC Juniors) Amalie Borg and Molly Brooksby stopping by to present the girls their guernseys ahead of season 2025!
Happy Easter from our Kookaburra family to yours. We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend...ready for footy season to kick off next weekend for many of our junior teams and round 2 for our senior teams.![]()

![]()
Limited vacancies are available in the following groups. Register before spots fill-up for 2025.
With the first game of the 2025 taking place last weekend, 3 GGFC champions officially handed their playing numbers to the next generation of A Grade footballers.![]()
![]()
The #1 guernsey has become synonomous with Todd Sheppard for just shy of 20 years, with Shep inheriting it back in 2007 and earning not only 4 premierships, but a stack of personal accolades + captaincy. The #1 is now passed onto Jed Banwell![]()
![]()
#4 was worn by previous Club Captain Scott Charlton before passing it onto Dashiell Ravlich who has had it at A & B Grade level for nearly 15 years. With 375 goals being kicked by Dash with the #4, it was fitting to pass it onto the next gen of goalkickers in new recruit Liam Verity.![]()
![]()
The #26 guernsey goes full circle, worn by Club Legend/Club Sandwich 2x Premiership Player Kym Dobie in the early 2000s, before being passed onto Nick Preston for another 4x Premierships from 2010 onwards. Presty now passes down the #26 to Kym's son Josh Dobie.
2 boys that deserve their own shoutout from the weekend.![]()
![]()
Jai Robins gets his first game back after missing 630 days of football due to a knee reconstruction, back fitter, stronger and more attractive than ever![]()
![]()
Alex Booth, an absolute star, back stronger than ever in his first game back after giving the middle finger to cancer. The club, the boys and everyone involved couldn't be prouder and it's an absolute testament to your character, you zigged when you should have zigged and you zagged when you should have bloody zagged.
Want to earn a little bit of extra cash? We're on the hunt for staff to help fill roles serving at the bar on weeknights and weekends.![]()

Today saw junior presentations being held at Harpers Field as our junior teams celebrated their seasons that were. The highlight of junior presentation day is crowning our Junior Player of the Year who is awarded the Jerry Griffiths Trophy.![]()
![]()
The 2024 recipient of the Jerry Griffiths Trophy is Amalia Mussolino from our U14 Girls team. Amalia joins a list of previous winners including Molly Brooksby (AFLW Port Adelaide), Corey Durdin (Carlton) and Troy Menzel (Carlton and Adelaide).![]()
![]()
Congratulations Amalia, and to all of the amazing players who were nominated for the award, you all exhibit the qualities Jerry believed made good footballers, and good people.![]()
![]()
The nomination from her coach, Scott Connolly:![]()
I am writing to nominate Amalia Musolino for the Jerry Griffiths Award. Amalia exemplifies the qualities of a true leader and is an outstanding candidate for this recognition.![]()
![]()
Amalia has been captain of her team for the past 2 years, during which she has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership skills. Her caring nature is evident in the way she supports and motivates her teammates, both on and off the field. Amalia takes the time to listen to her peers, offering guidance and encouragement whenever it is needed. The U14 girls Monday night “reflection huddle” was implemented by Amalia off her own bat and has become an important part of our teams routine.![]()
Responsibility is another hallmark of Amalia's leadership. She leads by example, showing up early for training and balancing her academic responsibilities with her athletic commitments. Amalia is consistently an A grade student.![]()
![]()
In addition to being caring and responsible, Amalia is deeply respectful. She treats everyone with kindness and fairness, earning the admiration and trust of her team mates and coaches alike. Amalia has never failed to thank the coaches for their time at the end of every training session. Her respectful demeanor extends beyond the team, as she interacts positively with opponents, umpires and supporters, embodying the true spirit of sportsmanship. ![]()
![]()
Amalia’s positive attitude, resilience in the face of challenges, and unwavering commitment to her team make her a role model for others. She inspires those around her to strive for excellence and to always give their best effort. Amalia narrowly missed out on a spot in the girls State team for her age group. A disappointment she took with exceptional grace.![]()
![]()
In summary, Amalia's caring nature, sense of responsibility, respectful attitude, and the high regard in which she is held by her peers make her a great leader. It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Amalia for the Jerry Griffiths award, confident that she will continue to inspire and lead with integrity and passion.
