He began his career with the Bombers in 1978 and by 1982 was renowned as a versatile utility player who could play either forward or back. In 1983, Daniher became captain of Essendon, a post he would hold until 1988. Daniher played 313 games for South Melbourne (19) and Essendon (294) between 1976 and 1992, and captained the Bombers to the 1984 and 1985 flags. He captained Victoria and Australia, and was named on a half forward flank in Essendon’s Team of the Century. In 1998, he was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Since his retirement as a player, Daniher has held various Senior and Assistant coaching positions. He was the Senior Coach of the Essendon VFL team from 1999 until 2002, before moving on to Collingwood as Assistant Coach in 2003, St Kilda in 2004-05 and Carlton in 2006. In 2008, Daniher was appointed coach of the VCFL Senior Squad. SESSIONAL PRESENTERS Steve Wallis: Steve Wallis made his senior VFL debut in 1983 with the Footscray Football Club and in 1989 was appointed captain of the Bulldogs. He played a total of 261 games and kicked 57 goals in a career spanning 14 seasons, and also represented Victoria in State of Origin. More recently, he was coach to the St. Kevin’s College First XVIII football team who defeated their long-time rivals Xavier College to become Premiers in the 2009 APS Under 18 competition. Shannon Grant: Shannon Grant began his playing career at the Sydney Swans in 1995 before moving to the Kangaroos in 1998. He was a member of the 1999 North Melbourne premiership side and at the end of the game was awarded the Norm Smith Medal for best-on-ground. His career spanned 14 years, during which he played a total of 301 games and kicked 361 goals. In 2009, Grant was appointed Head Coach of Frankston Football Club in the VFL. PANEL PRESENTERS Paul Hudson: Paul Hudson joined the Collingwood coaching panel as Assistant Coach (Forward Line) in 2009 having spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach under Leigh Matthews at the Brisbane Lions.

Hudson also played 13 seasons and 245 games with Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs and Richmond, during which time he managed to kick a total of 479 goals. Scott West: Scott West joined the Demons in 2009 as a part-time Assistant Coach (Midfield), specialising in the stoppage area of the game. As a player, he was a tough “in-an-under” midfielder who was hard at the ball and was regularly one of the leading possession-getters in the competition. He amassed an amazing seven Club Best and Fairest awards in his 324-game career with the Western Bulldogs and was runner-up in the Brownlow Medal in 2000 and 2006. West was also named All Australian on five occasions.

  • Afl Queensland
    PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP E-FOOTY RECORD ROUND 12 E-Footy RECORD 28th June 2008 Issue 12 Editorial with Marty King AFL QUEENSLAND: STRICT ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON RACIAL VILIFICATION It disappoints me to have to remind people that the AFL and AFL Queensland has a strict zero tolerance policy on racial vilifi cation. There have been a couple of unsavoury incidents lately, spread across the fi rst and second divisions of the State League competition, which are simply unacceptable. Under no circumstances will this sort of behavior be tolerated because there is no place for this sort of thing in our game, and AFL Queensland will do whatever it takes to ensure that the perpetrators are suitably reprimanded. This is a cornerstone of what State League football is all about. It is a family-oriented competition which should operate in an environment of respect and responsibility. AFLQ is no different to the AFL, which prides itself on setting behavioural standards that are benchmarks for the general society. It is why the AFL implements and takes very seriously things like the Code of Conduct, and general standards that relate to racial and religious vilifi cation and responsible consumption of alcohol. It is imperative that these values are upheld right across the competition, and so I appeal to all involved with AFL Queensland to do the right thing and to speak up if you are witnesses to inappropriate behavior. The overwhelming majority of people do the right thing all the time. They come to the football with their family or friends, they enjoy the contest and the atmosphere, they barrack for their team in good-natured fun, and they conduct themselves appropriately.

  • Talent Developmentdevelopment R Chapter Chapter Chapte
    12 TALENTTALENT DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPMENT R CHAPTER CHAPTER CHAPTE Chapter 12 TALENT DEVELOPMENT AFL PLAYER PATHWAYS Junior and youth football are the life blood of the game. The total AFL participation pathway is illustrated below. The pathway conforms to the belief of the AFL and its state affiliates that anyone wishing to participate in Australian Football must be able to do so in a way that is appropriate to their skills, needs and aspirations. This is best achieved by providing a quality environment in which young players can sequentially develop their skills through activities, games, match rules and conditions fitting their stage of learning and ability. At the youth level the talent pathway to becoming an AFL player begins to emerge through the avenue of regional development squads which have the dual purpose of developing individual player’s abilities and preparing teams to participate in state championships at under 14 and above. Australian Football coaches who are coaching at youth level should have a good understanding of the AFL Participation and Talent Pathways. All players with whom they are working are part of those pathways and many will be dreaming of becoming AFL players. An undestanding of the workings of the pathway and the processes used to identify and develop talented players are important tools for all youth coaches. This chapter includes elements of the evaluation processes which are integral to the talent pathway and coaches may wish to use some of them, perhaps in modified forms, in their coaching programs.
