Shane was named the club’s best first year player for his 1994 campaign, but unfortunately failed to go on with that strong showing in his time as an Eagle. Injuries and suspect form limited him to 10 senior games in 1995 and just 3 more in 1996, spending large amounts of time at East Perth.

When Port Adelaide entered the AFL in 1997, Bond and fellow exMagpie Brayden Lyle were traded to the new Power side in a complex deal that saw Port sign tall utility Ian Downsborough and West Coast receive the number 1 pick in the draft (used to recruit Michael Gardiner).

He went on to play 57 games with Port Adelaide kicking 11 goals before being delisted in 2000 at the age of 25.

He returned in round eight against Geelong and then in round nine against Gold Coast, Milera kicked three goals. After the round 10, 2017 match against Fremantle, in which he recorded sixteen disposals, four tackles and three goals, he was the round nominee for the AFL Rising Star. In the 2018 season, he was moved to the half-back line as a replacement for the injured Brodie Smith. In Adelaide’s round 6 victory over the Gold Coast Suns he collected a career-high 33 disposals

Sean Lemmens

Sean began playing junior football for the Salisbury Football Club before moving to the Port Adelaide Magpies. He progressed his way through the junior ranks at Port Adelaide before solidifying a reserves spot in the 2013. Sean debuted for the Magpies senior team in the final round of the 2013 SANFL season.

He was also selected to represent South Australia in the 2013 AFL Under 18 Championships, where he was noticed by Gold Coast defensive coach, Dean Solomon and was drafted with the 27th pick in the 2013 National Draft by the Gold Coast Suns making his debut for the Suns in 2014.

Sean was selected in the 2015 Indigenous All-Stars team.

After struggling to break into the club’s best 22 in 2020, a shift to halfback last year saw Lemmens have a career-best season. The defender became the 15th player to reach 100 games for the Suns, playing 21 last season and finishing seventh in the best and fairest.

Sean signed a contract extension in September 2022, locking him away until 2024.

Ben Nason

Ben played under-17 and under-19 football for the Port Adelaide Magpies in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). After being overlooked in the 2007 and 2008 AFL drafts he moved to fellow SANFL club, Central District for the 2009 season in an attempt to further his career.

While playing for Central District he also worked full-time with a fibreglass company. He played the majority of the year in Central’s reserves team, although he did play two games in the senior team, kicking a goal in his first game. He finished 2009 having played 19 reserves games for a return of 29 goals, and was named as an emergency in Central’s SANFL Grand Final team.

Ben caught the eye of AFL recruiters when he was one of the best players in a practice match between South Australia’s under-20 side and their under-18s team. He also recorded 14.2 on the beep test at the AFL Draft Camp.

After his 2009 season, Ben was the subject of interest for the 2009 AFL draft. Geelong, Port Adelaide, Fremantle and Richmond all showed interest in him, but Ben was not confident and “didn’t think [he] would be drafted”. Richmond ended up taking the slightly built youngster with the 71st selection in the draft.

He played in Richmond’s first pre-season match, against Hawthorn on 13 February, but suffered an injury, which caused him to be taken off the ground on a stretcher and a serious knee injury was feared. However, the diagnosis proved to be hyper-extension and bone bruising, which only resulted in him missing two weeks enabling him to play Richmond’s remaining two preseason matches.

Ben made his AFL debut against Carlton in round 1 although he had not expected to make his debut so soon. He had 10 disposals and kicked a goal in an impressive performance. He went on to play nineteen games for the Tigers in season 2010 and was noted as one of Richmond’s many exciting, young players. In a round 8 match against Hawthorn, Hawks captain Sam Mitchell was fined $900 for pulling Nason’s hair. He became a cult figure at Richmond, well known for his blond dreadlocks.

He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2011 season, aged 22.

After three and a half years of further academic and naval training, including an amazing eleven week training cruise around the South Pacific in HMAS Anzac,he graduated as a Midshipman in 1966. Over the next year he spent further training time at sea in three ships (Parramatta, Hawk, and Vampire), all operating in the Far East before returning home.

Andrew then completed further academic and professional training at the Royal Naval College, HMS Britannia, at Dartmouth in England, followed by a further year attending familiarisation courses at various naval specialist schools.

Returning to Australia in 1969, he was posted back to sea in HMAS Vendetta, deployed to Vietnam for six months before being sent to northern Australia for five months in patrol boats, briefly as the Navigating Officer in HMAS Buccaneer and then Executive Officer in HMAS Advance. He joined the destroyer HMAS Torrens as part of her commissioning crew in 1971, and later served as her Navigating Officer.

Following this he returned to the sea as the ASW Officer of HMAS Brisbane, mostly operating in the South Pacific and Far East, then came ashore for staff duties in the Directorate of Underwater Weapons in Navy Office, Canberra.

From here Andrew commanded HMAS Wollongong, a Sydney-based patrol boat in 1983-84, and on promotion to Commander, served for eighteen months as the Chief of Staff to the Naval Officer Commanding Victoria.

From 1986-88 Andrew was the inaugural Director of the Pacific Patrol Boat Project, responsible for construction of the first six of what later became 22 patrol boats provided by Australia to various South Pacific nations.

Kenneth Bunn

Kenneth’s ongoing connection to SHS and active interest in current school developments continues to grow.

The school archives proudly hold the illuminated scroll of the School Hymn he created along with his ‘Woodwork Books’. The school also holds a copy of the original hand written manuscript of his illustrated account of teenage South Australia in the 1950’s-THE KANGAROO CONNECTION which includes Salisbury High School.

Kenneth returned to England in 1962 where his passion for travel led to the development of tourism companies including Visit Northumbria and Visit Yorkshire.

Kenneth Bunn Maps, tracks and trails have been a ‘Way of Life’ for Ken for as long as he can remember. He has written about and illustrated almost every walk he has ever done resulting in an unrivalled record of North Country Walks and History.

Kenneth continues to create and lead new walks throughout the region.

Following his first book for Trailguides’, ‘Walks Around Rothbury and Coquetdale’, it is appropriate that his second book would highlight another unique Northumbrian landscape.

Hadrian’s Wall Country seemed a natural choice since Ken has been walking in this area for over four decades. As mentioned in his previous book, only those who actually walked with Ken had access to his personal write-ups. Again, for the first time Trailguides give you eight of his favorite Wall Country Walks.

Jack Buckskin

Jack Kanya Kudnuitya Buckskin is a proud Kaurna and Narungga man who has dedicated his life to learning and passing on his knowledge and language of the Adelaide Plains to future generations of Kaurna people.

After grasping the Kaurna language, Jack went on to become a teacher and leading authority on this traditional South Australian language. The film Buckskin tells the story of Jack, describing him as a “local hero” who is “doing something extraordinary in renewing his culture as part of a modern dreaming”.

Jack launched Kuma Kaaru in 2008. Now boasting 12 Aboriginal staff, he takes pride in educating and sharing his culture all over Australia. Founded in education, Kuma Kaaru (One Blood) brings stories and tradition to life through training and performance.

Operating on Kaurna Yarta (Land), the Kuma Kaaru team take pride in their Cultural Awareness training for organisations and schools, performing Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremonies and Cultural dance.

The Acknowledgement of Country specially commissioned by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is a collaboration with Kaurna Narungga musicians and composers Jack Buckskin and Jamie Goldsmith, and orchestrator/arranger Mark Simeon Ferguson, and Grayson Rotumah, lecturer at the University of Adelaide’s Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music. The piece ‘Pudnanthi Padninthi’ is performed at the start of ASO concerts.
