Few players of King’s era possessed his silky smooth skills, and coupled with his acceleration and speed, it made him one of the fi nest footballers of his era. King, 65, who died last month after a battle with cancer, is the only player to have won a JJ Liston Trophy and Field Medal (awarded for the best and fairest in the VFA Second Division). King polled the most votes ever in the Field Medal (67) when playing for Oakleigh, in the days when both fi eld umpires cast individual votes. He fell one vote shy of adding a second JJ Liston Trophy when he fi nished second behind Dandenong’s Danny Hibbert in 1976. After playing 11 games with St Kilda, King forged a career as one of the best players in the VFA for the best part of a decade. Not only did he represent the VFA, but in the competition’s centenary year he gained selection in its All Star team. After his VFA career fi nished, King turned to the suburban competitions where he carved out a career as a successful coach at Ashburton, St Kilda City, South Yarra, Noble Park and Oakleigh Districts. Stevie Carr, the Port Melbourne Football Club Team Manager, struck up a friendship with King in the early 70s with a shared love of athletics, footy and cold refresher at the Turf Club Hotel in Caulfi eld. Carr acted as the runner for King when he coached “He was a gifted athlete and he was a funny bloke. He was Ashburton to two fl ags before he went to St Kilda City and always getting his words mixed up and it would break us then South Yarra. all up. He noted that King was the playing coach at all the above “I remember one day he pointed to an opposition player and mentioned clubs. said ‘he’s built like a German shithouse’ when he meant to say he was built like a Sherman tank. “I reckon he would have been playing coach until his early 50s, it was pretty amazing,” Carr said. “You would get the giggles and he’d come over and say “He was a terrifi c track and fi eld runner. He ran at Stawell ‘stop it and listen to me’. He was an absolute tear jerker where he made a fi nal one year, he won the Arthur Postle with his words.” Sprint at Stawell along with the Moomba and Maryborough “He’s one out of the box Dekka King, he will be sadly Gifts. missed.” www.vfl .com.au 3 4 www.afl vic.com.au BRYCE CURNOW The hardworking defender Most defenders love more than anything else drifting forward to kick a goal, if nothing more than to remind their teammates how easy their role is.

  • Victoria Park David De Angelis – 17990254 What Is the Historical Legacy the Collingwood Football Club Has at Victoria Park, Melbourne?
    HIS3MHI – Making History Research Project – Victoria Park David De Angelis – 17990254 What is the historical legacy the Collingwood Football Club has at Victoria Park, Melbourne? The eerie sound of the 2:30pm train arriving at Victoria Park train station echoes and sends vibrations up through the grandstand as I sit on an old wooden seat inside an empty Sherrin stand. Whilst I sit on my wooden seat overlooking the skeleton that was once the R.T Rush stand, I am in amazement, shock and awe of how this current incarnation of Victoria Park is a far-cry from the bustling coliseum of black and white it used to be when I was a child. The eerie sound of that 2:30pm train arriving at Victoria Park station nearly twenty years ago, would have been drowned out with the sounds of rusty turnstiles rotating as droves of supporters make their way through the gates, the sound of magazine vendors’ yelling “RECORDS! GET YOUR FOOTY RECORDS!” as well as the hysteria that is associated with pre-game excitement. In this illustrated essay, I will address the historical legacy the Collingwood Football Club has shared over one hundred years at their undisputed home, Victoria Park. From the club’s humble beginnings of being a football club that represented the working-class people of Collingwood, its invincibility throughout the depression era, the various developments that occurred at the ground to the fateful day Collingwood played its last AFL match at in 1999. Within the four walls of the Collingwood Town Hall, the Collingwood Football Club was formed on Friday February the 12th, 18921.

FORESTS Preservation:Petition DR LAWRENCE (Subiaco) [2.16 pm]: I have a petition couched in the following terms -- We, the undersigned, support: 1. Greater Government efforts to protect Western Australia's mature native forest heritage. The SPEAKER: Order! I do not know whether members have noticed it or not, but at the commencement of sittings it is particularly difficult to hear members in respect of the delivery of petitions and often in respect of notices and the next sets of events that happen. I wonder if we could have a little less background conversation and a little more volume from the members who are making the delivery so that our guests can also hear and understand what is going on. Dr LAWRENCE: The petition continues -- 2. An expanded National Park and Nature Reserve system to include all CALM's proposed reserves with additional areas in the wandoo, southern jarrah and karri forests. 3. An independent inquiry into Western Australia's woodchip/tirnber industries and forest management. 4. Restructuring of Western Australia's woodchip industry so that it only uses sawmill residues and resources from plantations established on already cleared land. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that you will give this manoer your earnest attention and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 3 664 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House.
