This event will take place in the Courtyard Room (enter via the Starlight Function Rooms) and is compulsory for our senior playing group and our U17 and U19 players.

Any other members of our community are most welcome to attend.

Entry is FREE but please RSVP on this page prior to the event to ensure we have enough seating.

We thank Taylors Lakes Hotel for providing the venue for this event and encourage you to have dinner in JBJ’s Restaurant (bookings recommended) or in the TLH International Sports Bar (where it’s Steak Night from 6:00 pm) prior to attending the seminar.

In both areas, please advise staff on arrival that your are from TLFC and attending a function later in the evening to ensure that you are served in time to attend the event.

Ex-AFL player Heath Black moved to Western Australia and started with the Dockers as a 17 year-old in 1997, moving to St Kilda for several years before finishing his career with Fremantle in late 2008. After leaving professional football and spiralling out of control, Heath realised the full extent of his mental health issues in 2010 following the failure of his marriage, lost job opportunities, several arrests and a growing dependence on alcohol. After a series of misdiagnoses, he was finally diagnosed with both Bipolar II and Adult ADHD in 2011.
