There would be development coaching, teaching the kids and learning to coach.

At some stage, perhaps at the start or somewhere along the journey, Ithere would be a period as standalone coach at under-18 or state league level, where with every decision made, the buck stops with you.

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - May 2010
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - May 2010 Coach AFL this month goes to Leigh Matthews for advice on how to handle a significant loss. Jimmy Bartel gives his perspective on the impact and value of junior coaches. We go to Wayne Goldsmith to consider the questions parents want to know as their children commence their involvement in football for another year. We provide a drill that will improve your player‟s vision, reflexes and ball handling. The newsletter provides an update on the AIS/AFL Academy tour to South Africa and the female coach level 2 scholarship holders. There are updates from states and a calendar of state coaching events coming up. HOW TO HANDLE A DRUBBING By Leigh Matthews The fact that the six-month AFL season is more like a marathon than a sprint is really self-evident. It is a theme that will be pushed in a large variety of ways and means by all 16 coaches. The reality is that while each round provides a glimpse of what is to come, ultimately a win or a loss is the only tangible result that survives into the months ahead. Collingwood fell in by a solitary point against the unfancied Demons, but still all importantly gained their second win and got the valuable four points. Melbourne, despite a gallant performance, still came away without the win. Once the final siren sounds and the game is decided, it is all about stimulating ongoing optimum performance. A big part of the coaching art is to react to the post-game mood and then set the tone and agenda for the week ahead.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Heritier Lumumba Reclaimed His Name and Found Strength in African History
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heritier Lumumba reclaimed his name and found strength in African history. Will it change Collingwood and the AFL? By Russell Jackson 5 Dccember 2020 Former Collingwood star Heritier Lumumba now lives in South Los Angeles, where he's surrounded by black culture and thought.(Supplied: Renae Wootson/Milan Wiley) On May 31, 2020, a sea of people filled the streets of the Fairfax District in Los Angeles. Five police helicopters circled above their heads. Two LAPD squad cars were set alight and burned. Days earlier, the world had watched George Floyd take his last breaths. Now emotions reached boiling point — anger expressed in a cacophony of dissent. Riot police arrived with rubber bullets, batons and tear gas. Played through car windows and chanted by the crowd was the anthem of the uprising, YG and Nipsey Hussle's 'FDT': "F*** Donald Trump!" Two hundred metres away, a 33-year-old man and his wife anxiously peered out their window, their one-year-old son playing with a toy truck. In the days that followed, they 2 would join the crowds on the streets of LA, demanding an end to the dehumanisation of black lives. In another time, the man achieved fame as a sporting champion in a foreign land — an All-Australian footballer, a premiership hero of the Collingwood Football Club. Now he marched upright, a bandana shielding his face from the pandemic sweeping the planet, a Congolese flag draped over his shoulders. "I read the words 'BLACK LIVES MATTER', surrounding me at every angle imaginable, and my mind turned to my family in the Democratic Republic of Congo," Heritier Lumumba says.

  • MICK MCGUANE –AFL Premiership/Keynote/Teamwork
    MICK MCGUANE –AFL Premiership/Keynote/Teamwork A wonderful after dinner speaker with a quick wit, talking sport is in Mick McGuane's veins. Whether it's the AFL, cricket, tennis, soccer, boxing...or all three racing codes he has stories to tell that will resonate with just about any audience. A two-time winner of the Copeland trophy, an All-Australian and state representative and winner of the goal of the year in 1994; 155 game veteran Mick McGuane’s most memorable game was in the 1990 Grand Final that saw the team break a 32-year premiership drought. Regarded by Leigh Matthews and David Parkin as having one of the most astute brains in AFL football, he coached Burnie and Gisborne with great success, joined Richmond in a coaching capacity before being appointed assistant coach at the Saints in 2006, electing to leave when Grant Thomas was dumped as senior coach. He also turned around the fortunes of Keilor and Balwyn football clubs. No stranger to media, Mick has commentated with the Seven Network, and analysed footy in various print publications and on radio. Mick’s sporting knowledge extends far beyond football; he’s a sporting fanatic with a great interest in all sports, particularly racing and cricket. Currently heard on RSN Racing and Sport in the breakfast shift, he brings a relaxed easy style to any event.

  • US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book
    US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book The First Ten Years of Australian Rules Football in America. “For the good of the game, for the love of the game” USFOOTY United States Australian Football League A REAL USFOOTY THANKS TO President’s Report “If you dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney Over ten years ago a group of ten Australians and Americans met in a barn in Indiana over a beer or two and dreamed about starting an Australian Rules Football League in the USA. From this gathering and the hard work of many, the USAFL celebrates its tenth year of operation. A dream became a reality and a game born in Australia is quickly establishing itself as a strong minor sport in the land of professional sport. Our tenth National Championships are being played in the city where the first game was played - Louisville, Kentucky. Our Championships have grown over the years from a small gathering of clubs to a significant number that produce economic benefits to the host club and city, but more importantly the gathering of teams is a chance to celebrate football and the league on an annual basis. If you haven’t been to the USAFL Championships you are missing a great celebration of grass roots sport. At these Championships we will celebrate those players, coaches, umpires and officials who have been integral to the success of the USAFL. We will remember past matches and past Championships. The stories will be told of those fantastic road trips and the characters that make being part of a football team one of the great experiences of life.
