This week’s The Barker Hotel Volunteer of the Week is Simon Nunan, and this recognition is certainly overdue. Simon’s commitment as Junior Director is nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the week, he is hands‑on with every junior team, checking in with coaches from Monday through to Thursday to make sure they have everything they need heading into the weekend. His support, organisation and genuine care for our junior program set a strong foundation for the success of our youngest Roos.

In recent weeks, Simon has also stepped in as Assistant Coach of the A Grade Men’s team, passing on his extensive football knowledge to our young senior group. His calm guidance, experience and ability to teach the game have been invaluable as the side continues to grow and develop. It’s another example of Simon putting the Club first and stepping up wherever he’s needed.What makes Simon stand out even more is the work he does when no one is watching. His contribution to the Club extends well beyond his official roles, and he consistently puts the Roos first. Whether it’s stepping in to solve problems, lending a hand behind the scenes, or quietly taking on tasks that others may not notice, Simon embodies the spirit of a true volunteer.His involvement continues across game days and Club nights. For home games on Saturdays, Simon is one of the key people helping set up the ground early in the morning, ensuring everything is ready for players, families and supporters. He's also been the Club supplied B Grade Umpire for games this season. Up in the Clubrooms, you'll often see him behind the bar — always reliable, always willing, and always contributing to the smooth running of our Club spaces.And if that wasn’t enough, Simon is often seen sweeping out changerooms, tidying up, and taking care of the small but important jobs that keep the Club looking its best. Alongside all of this, he also serves as a Committee Member, bringing thoughtful input to the Club’s decision‑making. We’re proud to recognise Simon for everything he does — his contribution is immense, and deeply appreciated. … See MoreSee Less
