I have been given the honour of presenting to you tonight the early history and subsequent memories of our club throughout the 60’s to the early 70’s and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity. Players, wives, committee, supporters and any one who was involved in the club during that period up to 1970, I would ask you all to stand so members during the past 31 years can applaud your role in the formation and growth of our club. Lorna (Gillett) sends her apology from Herney Bay. Bob Dylan recently won an Oscar for his song “Things Have Changed” well, they certainly have around Bell Park since 1958. The club was established through the community Progress Association, anxious to provide sporting facilities for youngsters in a new suburb. Meetings were held and an U15 team was formed in 1958, closely followed by U18’s and a senior team. The family names that were involved in the early days are entrenched in the history and growth of the Bell Park Football Club. I will endeavour to put forth some of their names:- Max Knight, Eric Lynch, Tony Balkin, Chris O’Shea Peter Jansen, Iva, Lorna & Dave Gillett, Joe Grinter, Barney & Mavis Barling, George Jarvis, Norm Hisshion, Joe Arundal, John Daniels, Mick Robinson, Wally McEwan, Frank Drayton Snr & Jnr, Alfie Dwyer, Edy Johnston, Rat Ettridge, Martin Storm, Jim Fairbrother and many others who are here tonight. My apologies for not mentioning you all. To all involved I say thank you on behalf of us who played back then. You gave us an opportunity in life to play competitive football which in turn provided us with life long friendships, marriages, partnerships and premierships. The sixties was Johnny O’Keefe, Elvis, Ted Whitten, Polly Farmer, Johnny Famechon, Lional Rose, Rod Laver and Herb Elliot. Ford V8’s, F.J’s, Morris Minors and Push Bikes were the go. Bob Menzies was Prime Minister and Bob Davis coached Geelong to a rare flag in 1963. Gordon Hynes played on the Half Forward Flank and Eric Nicholls played in the reserves premiership. The blokes wore corduroys, desert boots and duffel coats and if you smoked a pipe you were a hippie. the Vietnam war broke out. The girls wore twin sets, pleated skirts, anti theft bras, cotton tails and those finger crushers- step-ins. Just ask Brian Lewis, we had to give him lessons. The country side around the footy ground was windswept paddocks, box thorn hedges, dirt roads, Herne Hill State School and Geelong West Tech. The Corio Shire built the clubrooms and a corrugated iron toilet block at the rear. The ground was a little worse than now, basically a paddock and I am still buggered if I know why the thing can’t be extended 30 metres and levelled out after all these years. There were 3 divisions of senior footy, Hurst Cup, Woolworth Cup and Jarman Cup. The seniors were admitted to the Jarman cup in 1960 and the teams played were:- Stonehaven, Lethbridge. Anakie, Drysdale, Torquay, Norlane and North Shore. Eric Lynch was under 15 coach, Mick Robinson U18’s and John Daniels was the senior coach That was our club, That’s how it started. Allow me to take you to training on a cold June Tuesday night and the lead up to a game next Saturday. Lets say 1963. You’d roll up to training, probably on your bike and go to get into the rooms, but the bloody door would be locked, so we change into our gear at the back of the rooms. Some dickhead didn’t return the key to Mrs Barling, the caretaker, and she would get really pissed off. No one was game to front her for the key, but we usually sucked Graeme Boardman in to eventually go and front her. Gift of the gab. Out you’d go, 4 laps to warm up, freezing cold wind, mudheap of a ground, 2 old footies for kick to kick until the fog came down or it got dark. No showers, no lights and ride home in the dark. If you had a corky or a bruise you reported to Norm Hisshion who “borrowed” the cement works ray lamp. The first aid room was “the camp”, washing soda a knee brace and iodex. The stretcher hidden What might you young ones say is IODEX. Well tomorrow morning at breakfast, roll your trouser leg up and smear it with vegemite. Get a desk lamp and plug in a 150W lamp and you’ll discover how iodex used to soothe all our bruises and sprains. The coach one night was looking for big Macka (Peter McIntyre) not a great trainer the old Macka. We go into the rooms looking for him and here he is sprawled out under the ray lamp, working on his tan like a bloody big Goanna. Fair dinkum you won’t believe me but he asked us for a plate of birds eggs. Friday you’d buy the Geelong Addy for the teams and Saturdays for the engagements, the girls were usually smart enough not to arrange weddings in footy season. Off to the game Saturday, pay your money to the manager (scrooge) so the umpires could be paid. Fair dinkum- how things have changed. Play your heart out, have a beer and race home to listen to the district results on 3GL, the Harry F Winneray Sports Show. Once that major responsibility was performed, off to the pictures or the palais for the dance. Usually we’d all meet at the T & G corner Monday you’d buy the Addy for all the game details That’s about all the addy was good for. Still is. Mid year we’d have a dance or two in the clubrooms and of course the annual ball and piss-up Aberdeen House. Success came quickly to the club with an U18 flag in 1961. We beat Norlane at Kardinia Park (Shell Stadium) in wet conditions, much the same as last Sunday. Mick Robinson was coach, I was the captain and Brian Grinter vice captain. Players included:- Macka, Feathers,Ted Wolak, Geoff Barnes, Ray Gillett and Milton Tattersall The seniors were strengthened by Under 18’s. The Under 15’s and 18’s continued to win flags throughout the 60’s. Bell Park was starting to emerge as the club with potential. Frank Murphy, ex Geelong reserves player was appointed coach, Macka went to Tassie to play with Sandy Bay, I went to Geelong West in the V.F.A where I met up with Eric Nicholls who was the then coach. Eric joined Bell Park in 1967 as coach and the senior team made the finals in 1968. Eric, Brian Lewis and myself were selected on a fairly regular basis to represent the G.F.L . Bell Park had good representation. The club was now recognised for producing good youngsters and attracting experienced players. Wally McEwan coached our 1st ever senior flag in 1969 and I with back to back in 1970 Bell Park was on the threshold of greater success which I shall leave to others to advise.

    1 Department of Economics Issn 1441-5429 Discussion paper 42/10 Labour market regulation and professional sport: The case of the Victorian Football League’s Coulter Law, 1930-1970 Lionel Frost and Peter Schuwalow1 Abstract In most professional team sports, salary caps – first used in the mid-1980s – stabilise the financial position of teams and promote balanced competitions. Teams that do not comply with labour market regulations face heavy penalties and there is a debate about whether such labour markets should operate like competitive markets in general – with wages directing players to the teams that value their contributions most. Analysis of earlier restrictions on the mobility of players and the movement of wages may raise new questions about the effects of non- compliance. The Coulter Law was a set of Victorian Football League (VFL) recruiting and payment rules that operated from 1930 to 1970. The conventional view – that most VFL clubs breached the maximum player wage rules to maximise the utility derived from winning games – is supported only by anecdotal evidence. A new data set reveals that the Coulter Law did restrict earnings in the VFL, except for a small number of elite players. Clubs allowed players to take up more lucrative jobs in other leagues and their subsequent on-field performance reflected the level of talent of replacement players. 1 Department of Economics, Monash University © 2010 Lionel Frost and Peter Schuwalow All rights reserved.

    The Goalpost Padding presents: The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview After a long season of football, everything is set to be decided at the MCG, when the West Coast Eagles and the Collingwood Magpies face off for the chance to immortalise themselves in the history books, and win themselves the ultimate glory. Being the football fans we are here at The Flag, we couldn’t let such a day go past without providing something of our own for it. So we have, with a 30-page booklet filled to the brim with all sorts of interesting, entertaining, yet ultimately frivolous statistics. We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you reading this for helping support us - if all goes well, we aim to do this for a career when we’re older, and knowing that our work is going out there and being praised really lifts our spirits. Hopefully you all enjoy the game and find something cool in here. -Nick/Claire Fredriksson theflagsports.wordpress.com on Twitter as @NickTheStatsGuy ​ Note: statistics based on the players involved in the match assume that there’s no change from the preliminary final squads, and so won’t include players added to the team.

    VFL Round 3 TAC Cup Round 4 22 - 24 April 2016 $3.00 Photo: Jenny Owens Love of the game, not the odds At our season launch in late March, AFL Victoria announced its continuing relationship with the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation (VRGF). AFL Victoria is committed to ensuring our clubs provide a safe, healthy and inclusive environment for players, families, members and supporters. At the launch we endorsed the VRGF Charter that we encourage our clubs sign up to. AFL Victoria understands the importance of responsible gambling and will encourage clubs to focus on the love of the game, not the odds. Talking about the love of the game, last weekend Channel 7 viewers were treated to an enthralling contest in the Peter Jackson VFL Grand Final rematch between Williamstown and Box Hill Hawks, with the Hawks turning the tables on the Seagulls to win by 15 points. VFL football has returned to our TV screens on Channel 7 in its new Sunday home for season 2016. One of the most pleasing aspects of the coverage this year is the variety of ways in which our VFL audience can access matches. Games this season are not only broadcast on TV, but also via the PLUS7 website and mobile app opening up the games to an Australia wide audience. Replays of all Channel 7 games are also available via the PLUS 7 website and on 7MATE of a Tuesday. Those on social media will also have noticed the game highlights and behind the scenes access via @7VFL on Twitter and Facebook, providing our competition with unprecedented coverage in 2016.
