Vale Robert Bernhardt | Notice from Bernie Conlen
The West Adelaide football Club, Past Players & Officials, mourn the passing of Life Member, Robert Bernhardt or Bob as he was known to many at West Adelaide Football Club..
Bob transitioned from player into the role of a trainer after his playing days and ‘unofficially’, delivered many messages for Neil Kerley in the 1961 Grand Final win and progressed through to Head Trainer.
He received Life membership in 1971 after his brother John was honored in 1969.
Our sincere condolences & thoughts go out to the Bernhardt family & friends.
Bob's funeral service is being held at Centennial Park on Wednesday the 23rd of March at 11am.

My cousin by marriage.

RIP Bob.

The West Adelaide Football Club and Past Players  and Officials are sad to announce the passing of 1961 Premiership Player and Life Member Leon Lovegrove.

Leon played 129 games for West Adelaide (1952 - 1961) with his last game being the 1961 Grand Final. In 1952 Leon was awarded the Sam Suckling medal for Best First Year Player and was awarded Life Membership in 1958.

Leon was heavily involved with West Adelaide after he finished playing by becoming a League selector in 1962 as well as a board member and chairman of the West Adelaide Junior League in 1963 to 1964.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Leon.

It's sad to announce that former volunteer, Robert Riedy passed away peacefully 17/12/2022 . Bob was a volunteer in the property room for 5 years and part of the 2015 premiership year, operated the scoreboard at times and was on the history committee.
Condolences to his family.
RIP Bob.

Yes, very friendly bloke and a passionate Westies man.

Very sad to hear of the sudden passing from health issues of a West Adelaide stalwart, Luke Jamieson.

Luke was a third-generation West Adelaide man, very active in our history set up and with Geoff, owner of one of the very best West Adelaide memorabilia collections there is.

I was so grateful to Luke and Geoff for their help with projects I'd undertaken and enjoyed visiting their home to see their collection on several occasions.

My very, very sincere condolences to Geoff and family and friends.

RIP Luke, everyone at the Bloods will miss you.

On behalf of the family, Geoff and I would like to advise that the Funeral Service for our beloved Luke, will be held in its entirety on Friday 17 November 2023 at 11:30am at Fulham Funerals, 139 Holbrooks Road, Underdale, SA.   A private cremation will follow.  A link to Luke’s service can be found by visiting www.fulhamfunerals.com.au . After the service, the family invite everyone back to West Adelaide Football Club, to celebrate Luke’s life.

The West Adelaide Football Club & Past Players & Officials are sad to announce the passing of Reg Marks.

Born on the 19th of October 1936. Reg passed away Thursday April 18th, 2024, aged 87.
