OUR FOOTBALL HERITAGE: KEEPING THE TRADITION ALIVE
“The purpose of the AFL Combined Past Players and Officials Association Incorporated is in helping to sponsor, strengthen and maintain our proud Australian Rules Football heritage”.
We are an independent group providing a meaningful service in supporting each of the member Associations’ efforts in holding their Associations together. Our participating Associations provide a valuable service and their members reap the benefits of membership.
We enjoy strong bonds and mutually supportive relationships with our AFL clubs and we have a positive approach to supporting our respective teams. We are fully supportive of the wider community and we enjoy a strong profile and image.
Our Association provides a home and sense of belonging in a spirit of camaraderie for our members. Our inclusive mateship is offered and continued through relevant and enjoyable social and sporting functions. We also positively respond to our role and responsibility in providing acts of benevolence from time to time.
We enjoy wide community recognition, respect and acknowledgment and are proud to be members of the AFL Combined Past Players and Officials Association Incorporated.
