The WIN Network will produce Western Australia’s first regional football program, Off the Boot, hosted by sports journalist Mark Readings, former AFL player Karl Langdon and WIN News sports presenter Tyson Beattie.
The weekly programme will look at what’s happening in WA country football.
“Off the Boot is about community. A place to share a laugh and an opportunity to tell your story and have your voice heard,” said host Mark Readings. “We’ve had cameras out in all regions of WA looking at the stars and characters that make the game so popular, and we want to hear from viewers about their experiences with the game at a local level.”
The program will also look at the issues affecting grass-roots games in all competitions with a special guest in studio each week.
In episode one, Cameron Knapton, general manager of the WAFC, reveals the prospects of regional players being drafted into the AFL, the panel discusses Heath Black’s departure from Harvey Brunswick Leschenault, we review the Mitch Gillam Memorial Match in Kalgoorlie and preview the season ahead for Upper Great Southern, South West, Goldfields, Great Southern, and Great Northern leagues.
Entries are required for the weekly “Goal of the Week” and “Mark of the Week” competitions and can be from any game, past or present. The series winner will receive a trip to the 2011 AFL Premiership Grand Final in Melbourne. A
Entries are to be broadcast quality, no larger than 10 megs and emailed to

Viewers can also share ideas, opinions and review stories on the show’s Facebook page (search “Off The Boot”).
Off the Boot will premiere 10.30pm Tuesday, April 12 on WIN (W.A.) and is and replayed before the AFL match of the day Saturdays.

Hi Just wanting to know if the Williams Football Club could get Dvd of the filming you have taken of Williams that is the boys doing the belt up ads. It would be great to play on the night of our presentation…..email me back cheers
hey off the boot i was just wondering how come cameras dont ever come up to the north pilbra football league .the standed of footy up here is epic dean cox come from dampier sharks and i play for port hedland rovers there is some real talent up this and it would be good to get noticed .were can i post or send photo of mark of the week ,if you do want to send cameras up this way let me no and i can give you game times and place address ok thanks guys .
How dare you guys say stuff about the dampier supportes with out full knowledge!!
there was no racial villification and farmer didn’t just walk off the feild and push the spectator, he walked off and punched him in the mouth!
There were many witnesses on the side line including some indigenous people and if anything of the sort was said then there would of been a riot on the side lines
Hi.
I play for the Bridgetown Bulldogs U/13s side, i was wondering would you be able to get some cameras down for a game that we play at home. i think it would be a great thing for the club as we down in the LSWJFL don’t get any publicity. If this is possible and can happen i will give you some details now:
Time: 9:30 start.
where: Bridgetown Sports Ground
When: any saturday ulees we have a bye.
Thanks. Nathan.
what a great idea and about time!! we live in kalgoorlie and the Goldfields Footy league is a high standard and shouls be recongnised as to the other regional leagues!!
Interesting idea. A lot of great footballers come from the country so it makes sense. Hope it does well.
