Stephen Michael
A West Australian Football Legend
Stephen Michael is widely considered to be one of the greatest ever players from Western Australia and arguably the greatest in the history of the South Fremantle Football Club.
Throughout his life, Stephen has demonstrated great values and integrity and the perfect role model to have a foundation honouring his name.
A proud Aboriginal man, Stephen was born in Wagin, WA and grew up in the southern Wheatbelt town of Kojonup before making his way to the South Fremantle Football Club where he became a legend.

Guernsey Design 🌼
Yesterday we returned to Australind Senior High School to present the winning Rising Leaders guernsey design.
Each design created through the program represents more than just a guernsey, it reflects the students’ identity, culture, experiences, values, and community.
Congratulations to this student for their creativity, thoughtfulness, and pride in sharing their story through art. The design looks incredible!

2O25 Jambinu Carnival
The Jambinu Carnival once again showcased the best of what regional sport and community are all about. 🙌🏉
This year over 90 young people from Morawa, Mullewa, Mount Magnet, and Geraldton came together for two action packed days of AFL, bringing incredible skill, teamwork, and spirit to the field. The standard of play was outstanding, matched only by the sense of pride and connection shared by everyone involved.
Beyond the games, the event reflected the strength of community partnerships, with local organisations, supporters, school groups and sports clubs all playing their part in making Jambinu such a successful event.

Today we celebrate the wonderful Tamashya!
Over her time with SMF, it has been incredible to watch Mashya flourish in her role and step into new opportunities with confidence. Most recently, she has taken on a lead role for SMF in our Old Ways New Ways female program, where her ability to connect with participants and guide activities has made a real impact.
Mashya is not only a strong and capable leader, but also a truly positive role model for youth, particularly young women. She brings kindness, empathy, and strength to everything she does, qualities that make her both respected by her peers and deeply valued by the young people she works with.
Her down-to-earth approach and genuine care for others make her a pleasure to work alongside, and we couldn’t be more excited to see how she continues to grow, develop, and inspire in the years ahead.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Mashya, thank you for everything you bring to the SMF team!

Only 1 week to go! ⏱️🏆
Anticipation is building for the 2025 Jambinu Carnival, taking place on 18-19 September at GBSC Sports Park.
Looking back at last year’s photos it’s clear what makes this carnival so special: The energy on the field, the support from the sidelines, and the way community comes together to celebrate.
This year promises to be just as memorable. Registrations are still open via the QR code on the flyer, so there’s still time to get involved.
Players, coaches, umpires, families, and community members are all warmly invited to attend, support, and celebrate this exciting event.
We look forward to seeing you at Jambinu 2025!
