Nic d'Emden is as committed as they come in the football volunteering space, and it is not just for any one club or organisation.
The East Launceston club president's past weekend probably best exemplifies his range of commitments.
Saturday started with his debut as a goal umpire in the girls Talent League at Windsor Park, then he was down to Hobart to emcee a gala.
On the Sunday it was back Launceston to support the Lions teams remaining in finals and then goal umpiring Sunday's elimination final between Lilydale and Bracknell.
Commitment like that over the past 20 years netted d'Emden the highest of honours in the footy volunteer space, the national AFL Community Volunteer of the Year.
"Honestly I love it. Like I love community footy," d'Emden said.
"I just think in a world today where our kids are, we say connected through tech, but they're really disconnected through tech, I love that footy grounds and clubs bring people together.
"And they're these community hotbeds of all people with the same interest just there, and in person, and communicating. That's what I love."
d'Emden first got into volunteering about two decades ago with Old Scotch, where he "pretty much did every role under the sun", as well as winning three flags as a player.
He does not exactly know how he balances it all, but there are plenty of people around him who help out.
"Obviously from a home front I have amazing support from my wife (Anthea), who helps me out a lot with some of the stuff at East and is a bit of a sounding board sometimes, which is great," he said.
"We're really lucky in that our volunteers, which are our parents, never question helping out around the club."
Aside from presidential duties, goal umpiring, and even on occasion running for the state side, d'Emden loves his coaching, which he did at the Lions before becoming president.
He was Old Scotch's inaugural women's coach, which brought him one of his favourite football memories in the form of a win against Meander Valley that "completely changed the club for the better".
d'Emden has also had the pleasure of coaching his three sons as they grew up, although he does now enjoy just spectating.
"It's really nice, and it's not just your own kids, like you're probably more critical on your own kids, I love seeing the development of all of the kids," he said.
"And there comes a point where, I've found this more recently with my boys who are a bit older now, that selfishly, you actually want them to hear from someone else because they hear from you at home."
In the time he has been in junior football, starting with his eldest son Jack, who's now 17, women's and girl's football has exploded.
"I was coaching Jack in Auskick and we had a young girl who's now playing VFLW over for Carlton, Harriet Bingley and Binga was, from the get-go, she was in the top-three players ... and she was the one (girl) on the entire team," he said.
"But now you're seeing the whole team is full of these young Harriet Bingleys, they're amazing and the girls game has come along so much."
It is not just within his club that he is trying to help junior football as he is also on an NTFA subcommittee investigating how to convert more junior footballers into senior players.
"Kids have got so many other options these days and I think social media puts a lot of pressure on them as well," d'Emden said.
"A lot of kids think if they don't make the Devils or they don't make a VFL team, not that they give up, but they haven't made it.
"And it's really important that community clubs, they create an environment that parents are happy to have their kids at and kids want to be at."
