  • 1908-110 Years Ago & Walter Douglas Chapman the Champion of Dromana
    WALTER DOUGLAS CHAPMAN 1889-1975 (Ref: 2018/8) 1908- NATIONAL BACKGROUND 1908 was a significant year in the history of Australian Football because in August, that year, a national carnival of football (promoted as the ‘Jubilee of Australasian Football’) was organized in Melbourne. The sides that took part in that football extravaganza were: Victoria, Tasmania, West Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and a combined team from New Zealand. The Prime Minister of Australia, Alfred Deakin, played a prominent role in the pre-carnival festivities; and the series of matches gained plenty of coverage in the newspapers. Victoria dominated in all matches and thrashed the hapless New Zealand combination by more than 20 goals. In 1908, Carlton won the VFL premiership; and Dick Lee, the Collingwood legend, won the goal kicking with 54 goals. Younger readers may not be aware that the Brownlow Medal was not instituted until 1924; but the leading players in that era included : ‘Pompey’ Elliott ( Carlton), Bill Busbridge ( Essendon ) , Jim Sharp ( Fitzroy), Vince Coutie ( Melbourne) and Dave McNamara ( St Kilda). THE LOCAL CLASH-110 YEARS AGO While the local fixture between Dromana and Flinders could hardly boast the same amount of ceremony and pageantry as the 1908 Jubilee of Football, it was never-the-less an important game between two coastal towns on the Southern Peninsula. Note: Flinders would best be described as a ‘coastal village’ in those years. According to the official Census of 1901, there were only 181 permanent residents of Flinders (87 men ; 94 women ) and just 34 occupied dwellings. On the other hand, the population of Dromana, in the same census, was given as 736 people including 372 men.

  • 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.

  • A'court, BILL (West Adelaide)
    A A’COURT, BILL (West Adelaide): Acourt was placed on Oliver and to keep this man from taking his sensational marks gives a man plenty to do. Acourt did not let him do too much, and played a good game beside.1 Father of star West Adelaide ruckman of the 1950s Fred A’Court (profiled below), Bill A’Court was a strong defender who also played with West. He debuted with the club in 1909, and was a key member that same year of its winning grand final team against Port Adelaide. He went on to play in the premiership sides of 1911 and 1912 as well. From 1909 to 1915 A’Court played 83 SAFL games and kicked four goals. A’COURT, FRED (West Adelaide): Fred A’Court was a stalwart of West Adelaide sides during the club’s nightmare decade of the 1950s, when four grand finals were contested without success, all against Port Adelaide. He commenced with West in 1949, and over the ensuing 11 seasons played a total of 159 league games and kicked 110 goals. In January 1954, A’Court applied for a clearance to VFL club Richmond, claiming that, if he made the move, he would be £15 a week better off financially, but West Adelaide refused the application and he continued to play for the Blood and Tars for the remainder of his career. A tough, tireless and talented ruckman, A’Court - popularly known as ‘Boof’ - represented South Australia eight times, kicking 10 goals. AAMODT, COLIN (North Adelaide): In a brainy display of football Aamodt showed all the fleetness of foot that enabled him to run a place in a Stawell Gift.
