TBFC V Meningie August 5

Indigenous Day (August 5) in Tailem Bend is in appreciation of all the Indigenous players that have represented the Tailem Bend Football Club (TBFC), and it is also a celebration of their contribution to our Club. The TBFC has significant ties with the Indigenous community, and we believe it is important that we recognise the contribution many Indigenous players have made to the Tailem Bend Football Club. Since the Clubs entry in to the RMFL in 1946 the Club has been represented by some wonderful players, most notably 1947 Premiership player and Hall of Fame Legend Richard “Dick” Kropinyeri. Phil Kartinyeri was a champion in the 50s, Kevin Kropinyeri, Matt Rigney, Don Tschuna and Alex Stengle were stars in the sixties and seventies. Tommy Smith dual B & F winner was all class. Noel Hartman Jnr and Roger Wilson were stand out players in the 80’s and 90’s both winning RMFL Mail Medals and the irrepressible Mervyn (Muffy) Kartinyeri won three RMFL Mail Medals and went on to play at SANFL level. And, of course many, many more fantastic Indigenous players have represented the Eagles. An, Indigenous medal (Wilson/Hartman), will be presented to the best player on the ground. Both Rodger Wilson and Noel Hartman have been wonderful contributors to both Clubs. Rodger is a Premiership Player for both Clubs and won the Mail Medal whilst representing Tailem Bend. Noel, is a Premiership player, played 200 games, is a B&F and won the Mail Medal all whilst representing Tailem Bend. An Indigenous Guernsey, especially designed by Harley Hall of the Ngarrindjeri Nation, will be worn on the day. The community symbols represent the 4 communities around Tailem Bend being, Murray bridge, Raukkan, Meningie and Tailem Bend. In the community symbols there are men, women and children sitting around together teaching and sharing knowledge and culture! The cross hatch represents the basket weaving, and the 18 dots represent the 18 clans that make up the nation. The line work represents the Ngarrindjeri nation! To all the Indigenous players representing the TBFC and kindred Clubs, celebrate this day with pride. The especially designed Guernsey that the team will be wearing on the day will be auctioned post-match. Greg Karpany will “Acknowledge the Traditional Owners”, prior to the League game!
