It was Foster's Lager- important for several reasons . It was an away win, in the middle of the season, in the wet and over top side De La Salle who overran them in the last half of last year's Preliminary Final . I believed all last year that Collegians was a very good side and was very disappointed when they meekly bowed out of ~; ~ A symbol of Australia ihe finals last year. I wore the black arm bank for a week as they were exciting to watch! Craig Johnstone picked up the idea when he wore an arm band after Brazil lost to France on penalties! The for almost a century emotions were the same ! . This Collegians' win was unlike some of their earlier walkovers . It was a battle of the defences and nence low-scoring . Ric Schober and Simon Williams were superb central defenders for the Lions and likewise Brian Waldron and Mick Deveson for De La Salle . Sadly, V .A.F.A. Captain Mick Deveson has a leg injury and is doubtful for the Carnival . Athreatto Collegians supremacy might be emerging in the form of a revitalised Bulleen-Templestowe . They comprehensively accounted for North Old Boys at Royal Park by 61 points . North's home Since the Fosters brothers brewed the ground form must be of concern . A fortnight ago it was Ivanhoe who cleaned them up! first distinctive Australian lager in 1888 Bulleen's Tony Keenan and Mal Palmer each contributed 6 goals and Ric DeMarte seems to be getting better each week after a slow start to the season . The win has taken Bulleen-Temp. into the fame of Australia's favourite beer second place . Old Scotch scored a very significant win over Ivanhoe by 55 points . Ivanhoe were much further has grown around Australia and around behind than this early in the last term so it was a very convincing win by the 'Scotchies' . To be fair the world . though, Ivanhoe were missing both Adams and Boccabella and Scotch appeared to be at full strength . Stuart Glascott and Peter Ford are fine wingmen and Peter Brown and Michael Polkinghorne Foster's was first exported are consistnet half forwards . On their day they can provide enough drive to give near-veteran Peter to South Sherwen a field day . 9 goals was his tally on Saturday! Africa during the Boer war.

  • West Wing This Week Someone Who Is Not Only a Very Good Friend of Mine, but Has Been a Mentor Since I Was About 18
    A Werribee Tigers promotion West Wing This week someone who is not only a very good friend of mine, but has been a mentor since I was about 18. He played 261 games with the Bulldogs. He has been very influential on my career and my life and he has a son playing AFL SW: Welcome Steve Wallis Tell us your story, you are a Leongatha boy. Wally: Yes at 16 I came down and played with the Bulldogs in the under 19 competition, so the club put me through school. I did accounting part time as well as school. I actually started work in Werribee, at Werribee Mazda, when I was 18. SW: You retired in 1996, how do you see the game these days in comparison to your days. Wally: We were only part time footballers, we only trained three times a week and usually late in the afternoon because most of us worked. I think the big change in recovery and the fitness of the players is the fulltime aspect. Being able to manage your body daily is a lot easier than when you had people working fulltime. I think they expect a lot more out of their bodies these days. The only thing that worries me watching Mitch, is wondering how long his body will hold up to the rigors of AFL . SW: You played for a long time and you played with some great players-EJ Whitten, Charlie Sutton- Only joking. Who were some of the best you played with? Wally: I was on the end of Kelvin Templeton’s career at the Bulldogs, he was a standout player.

  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.

  • Newsletter April 2020 SEASON 2020 TERRY WHEELER 157 Games
    Newsletter April 2020 SEASON 2020 2020 is a year of unprecedented challenges. We hope you and your family stay fit and well. We are hopeful of staging the 1985 Reunion and End of Year Functions when things return to normal. There will Be Newsletters in June, August and OctoBer to keep you informed. TERRY WHEELER 157 games, 1974-83, Coached 91 games 1990-94 Profile written by Ross Brundrett IF you ask Terry Wheeler, he’ll tell you there are worse things than getting knocked off your motorbike at speed, after hitting a feral goat in the outback. He woke up two days later in Broken Hill Hospital with nine broken ribs, a punctured right lung, a cracked shoulder blade, a broken bone in his neck and no memory of the last 40km of that fateful ride in the bush near his mother’s hometown of Tibooburra in central NSW. But according to the man himself, it wasn’t the hardest hit he has suffered in his lifetime. “That would be when I was playing with the Bulldogs and I ran into (Geelong hard man) Ray Card. The ball had been kicked towards the John Gent Stand flank and I was charging at it and so was Ray and we both had our heads down and bang … I think I got about 40 stitches,” he said with a chuckle. The fact that he can laugh at all shows just how well he has recovered since his close encounter with the goat last November. That was the most recent of a long list of treks that have taken him and his adventure bike around most parts of Australia, sometimes with his old Bulldog teammates, Bruce Reid and Peter Welsh, and sometimes on his own.
