The Borough is clearly the club the others have to beat, but they don’t award any medallions or fl ags in early August. Not only is there the scramble for clubs to make the eight - Frankston is still a mathematical chance after stringing three successive wins - but also the jostling for positions, particularly at the top end of the ladder. It makes the fi nal month of the home and away season very interesting. Here’s a snapshot of the race into the fi nals, club by club: PORT MELBOURNE Position: First Win/Loss: 12-2 Percentage: 137.78 What’s happened so far: After surging from the starting gates, Port Melbourne has retained the position as the clear front runner, the club others have to catch in this season’s premiership race. The Borough won its fi rst seven games, had its winning streak snapped by Geelong at the spacious Simonds Stadium then encountered a reality check when Footscray thumped them by six goals at the North Port Oval, a fortress during Gary Ayres reign as coach. Port Melbourne has responded in stunning style winning its next fi ve games in emphatic fashion with the match against Essendon - a three point win - the BOX HILL HAWKS only match that wasn’t won by 29-points or greater. Position: Second Admittedly, they were against clubs not in the eight, Win/Loss: 10-3-1 but that’s how good clubs roll. Percentage: 135.6 Likely scenario: With a one and a half game break on its nearest rival Box Hill Hawks, and a favourable run What’s happened so far: Box Hill Hawks have home, it is hard to imagine Port Melbourne not fi nishing certainly given themselves every opportunity to post a on top of the ladder. And, that brings with it a home club fi rst - back-to-back premierships. The VFL Hawks fi nal. While the venues for the fi rst week of the fi nals could easily mount a case they could be undefeated haven’t been locked away, the Borough’s performance this season.

    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.

    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.
