Talty 2014 Seniors 2014 Development 2014 Under 16’s 2014 Under 13’s 2014 Club Championship Plus 10 Points Bronze Quality Club– Pambula AFC SCAFL's Stingrays see the bright side THE Sapphire Coast AFL (SCAFL) Stingrays lost to the South Coast on the weekend, but the un- der 12s won their age division. Senior squad assistant coach Luke Taylor said he was proud of SCAFL’s efforts. “It was really impressive for the under 12s to win their age division,” Taylor said. Meanwhile, the seniors were not taking a loss to heart after losing 11.2 (68) to the South Coast’s 17.14 (116). “I thought our boys did really well. “The South Coast has been playing together for three or four years, while we have only just re- established ourselves,” he said. Head coach Adrian Pavese was unable to attend on the weekend, and Taylor thanked Paul Noack who helped from a coaching perspective on the day. “He’s heavily involved with the under 12s and he was already busy, so we really appreciate him jumping in and it’s good to have people like him involved.” Taylor said the team was in the match for three quarters, with the South Coast pushing ahead in the final period. “Our tackling pressure was some of the best I have seen and our ability to be in every contest was second to none. “The average age on our team is 20 or 21, we have a lot of young guys who are just starting their career.” Bermagui’s Brent Ohlin kicked five goals, while Bega Bomber Scott Hay impressed on the field. “To kick five in a representative scenario is fantastic,” Taylor said. “Scotty Hay was outstanding, he is just a freak of a player. “He plays on instinct, he dominated on the weekend and it will be very interesting to watch him develop.” Meanwhile, Pambula Panthers midfielders Aaron Proctor and Justin Pilgrim excelled with their marks and contests of the ball. “They were excellent in the midfield, Justin and Aaron were both in contested marks and all over the ball.” However, conditions were not ideal for play, with gusty winds up to 40km an hour taking its toll on the Stingrays’ shots at goal. Unfortunately, the squad’s captain Jack Murphy was injured just after half time and had to come off the field. “Not having his leadership and his quality around the ball hurt us a bit,” Taylor said. Despite the loss, Taylor said he was really happy with the performance and looked forward to working with the rep team in future. “We set the bar and now we just have to build on it again next year. “After playing the game, I think all the guys will put their hand up again. “It’s another big tick for the league,” he said. REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOS OF THE WEEK REP FOOTBALL A HUGE SUCCESS FROM June 27 to 29, 88 of the Sapphire Coast's best players took to the field in Nowra to showcase the strength of the Sapphire Coast AFL with some brilliant results. With players competing in the under 12's, 14's, 16's and senior grade, some outstanding football was on display for all involved with some great individual and team performances on display throughout the carnival. With teams converging on Nowra from the Shoalhaven, Illawarra, Central West/Sth Riverina, the Central Coast and Newcastle the Stingrays got off to a brilliant start winning all three junior games against Central West/ Sth Riverina under lights. Day two of the carnival started with the under 14's and under 16's being defeated by the might of Illawarra before the under 12's were able to produce some inspirational football to defeat the Illawarra. With their loss to the Illawarra the under 14's fin- ished in a fantastic 5th position. The main attraction for the Saturday's games was the senior men's fixture where the Stingray's were edged out by the South Coast AFL 11.2-68 to 17.14-166 with Scott Hay winning Sapphire Coast man of the match honours. The semi-final’s started with the under 12 stingrays defeating the Central Coast 24 to 9 which set up a tantalising final with carnival new comers Newcastle. The good run of semi-final results unfortunately couldn't continue with the under 16's unable to take advantage of a strong breeze in the first quarter and eventually beaten by Illa- warra with the boys finishing in third place. With the under 12's looking to reverse their 2013 final result, the stingrays started strongly and were able to keep Newcastle at bay to claim the 2014 under 12 champi- onship. Congratulations and thankyou to all coaches, umpires, team managers and parents involved in the weekend carnival. The 2015 carnival will take place on of June 26, 27 and 28. Go Stingrays!

What they said... 'Adam is hurting, he feels it's racist, many, many people feel this is racist and therefore why would you do it, knowing that' AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan 'This whole Adam Goodes drama is ridiculous. The public can boo or chant whoever's name they want! It's nothing to do with being racist....' Former Australian test bowler, Shane Warne On August 29, 2015, Indigenous AFL player Adam Goodes was again booed during a game between his team, the Sydney Swans, and St Kilda. The game was played at Etihad Stadium. It was reported that St Kilda fans booed Goodes when he touched the ball early in the game then again when he kicked a goal in the second quarter. This was Goodes first game back after taking several weeks off in response to consistent booing from opposition crowds during away games. This booing has been occurring for about eighteen months. Goodes has been a prominent spokesperson for Indigenous rights and there are those who claim that the negative response to Goodes is racially based. Others claim it is a response to aspects of Goodes's game or to his aggressive attitude toward opposition supporters. On September 19, 2015, Goodes announced his retirement from AFL football. On September 24, 2015, it was reported that Goodes had declined a lap of honour to mark his retirement and his contribution to the game.

    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 21/05 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Ross Booth 1 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1 INTRODUCTION Whilst gate revenue as a source of revenue for the (member-owned win-maximising) clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) is relatively small and declining as a proportion, it is still an important source of revenue difference between clubs, and potentially their on-field playing performance. Until 2000, gate revenue was shared between the home and away teams (after the deduction of match expenses), after which the policy was changed to allow the home team to keep all of the (net) gate receipts. In the AFL, membership income, reserved seat and corporate box income has never been shared, but the league does share the revenue from key income streams such as national TV broadcast rights (there is no local TV revenue), corporate sponsorship and finals. The AFL (1998) recommended in its Gate Sharing Discussion Paper to change the gate-sharing arrangements, because the intended equalising of gate revenue was not being achieved. Whilst net gate proceeds had traditionally been shared 50-50, membership and reserved seat income had not. This meant that a club playing in a large stadium with a large cash-paying crowd provided a good return for the visiting side. However, a club playing in a small stadium filled mostly with members and reserved seat holders had little room for a cash-paying crowd, and hence provided a poor return to the visiting team.
