NWFL Major Sponsor Announcement - Jackson Motor Company

The North West Football League (NWFL) are ecstatic to announce the new major sponsor of the competition with Jackson Motor Company (JMC) and Jackson KIA signing on for three years. JMC is a local, family-run, statewide automotive network that have been servicing and selling new and used cars for almost three decades.

JMC will be the naming rights sponsor with the premier competition to be referred to as the “JMC NWFL Seniors” for 2023, 2024 and 2025. With this agreement, Jackson KIA will also be a major partner and will be ball sponsor for the three year term.

NWFL Competition Manager Morgan Hughes described the partnership as a ‘match made in heaven’. “With Jackson Motor Company being a Tasmanian-owned and operated dealership and one that is such a community-oriented business, partnering with them for the next three years is something that both organisations are looking forward to.”

We encourage all members and stakeholders looking for a new car or a service for your current one, to visit either Burnie JMC or Devonport JMC for all your automobile needs!

Weller to lead Penguin in 2021

Former AFL player and Burnie 2020 premiership player, Maverick Weller has been announced as Penguin’s playing-coach for 2021.

In an announcement on Penguin’s Facebook page the club stated, ‘Mav will bring along with him a wealth of knowledge and experience from the highest level into our club as we aim for the ultimate success in 2021.’

Weller returned home to Tasmania this year after an 123 game career in the AFL, with Gold Coast, St. Kilda and most recently Richmond. He firmly believes that the off-field aspect is just as important as the on-field performance.

"I [also] think off-field culture is very important to on-field success and I hope I can add some stuff I have experienced over the years.”

Weller said when speaking to the Advocate, "Being at a club like Richmond and seeing a culture that has developed and thrived there based on genuine care for its people and acceptance of different personalities and characters can help you win games of football."

Jack Templeton has been announced as the forward line coach with more announcements on Weller's assistants expected soon.
