This weekend is the first round for the South Australian National Football League, the SANFL, in my home state of South Australia. I want to wish the Norwood Redlegs, my local team, all the very best in their defence of the grand final cup that they won in spectacular style last year. It was a very nerve-racking game that resulted in a goal by Matthew Panos just before the siren which saw the Redlegs win that game by one point. I'll start by saying to the Redlegs that we don't want any more one-point wins this season, thank you very much! If you could do it by a few more goals that would be great. But I particularly wish them all the best for Friday night. They have the first game of the competition against the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles on the parade and I'm confident and hopeful of a win and, more importantly, an excellent season for the Redlegs.

I'm really proud of the support that we provided to that club. In my first term as the member for Sturt we made a significant investment into the Wolf Blass centre there, which has really transformed the club's ability to host a lot of additional community events and which has provided the club with a great platform which they were able to turn into a grand final win last year. So congratulations again, and all the best for the season ahead.
