Mark Bayes and Craig Davis are two fans eagerly awaiting her call. PHOTO BY PETER LEWIS cu By Eddie Greenaway ell footy fans, another season is W upon us and barrackers for all clubs are filled with enthusiasm at this time of year. Unfortunately for many poor souls, the first month or two will crush the life out of their naive dreams. However, for the long suffering (and not so long suffering) followers of the Red and the White this year will be different: For three reasons, at least, 1998 will be the year of The Mighty Swans. The legends last chance. It is a sad but true fact that our current crop of legends includes a number of super stars who are getting close to the end of the line. As sad as it seems, I'm reconciled to the fact that one day I'll Roosy wake up to read that Plugger, Baysey and have graduated to full time golfing at Terrey Hills and that Dale Lewis has become anchorman on Triple M in Melbourne and OB has graduated to The Bar full time. So with time running out I'm sure they'll pull out all stops and along with new veteran recruit Schwassy will give the flag one hell of a bloody shake! A voiding the Golden Spoon St.Kilda making the Grannie and getting so close last year sent a shiver up the spine of many a Swan historian. The Club stalwarts realise that one record that we don't bloody need is just around the corner. That record is the longest premiership drought in VFUAFL history - "The Golden Spoon". The current champion losers are St. Kilda (that's right. who else!). The Saints took from 1897 until 1966 to win their first flag, 69 bloody years! However, the Swans are now closing in rapidly on this dubious title. As PART 1: THE VIEW FROM THE NORTH our last flag was won in 1933, by the year 2003 we'll be the undisputed heavyweight losers of all time - unless something is done about it in the meantime. Leaving this heavy responsibility up to a bunch of new kids is a bit unfair and given the extremely brief previous "golden periods" enjoyed by the club since the War - Runners up in 1945, finalists in 1970, 1977, 1986 and 1987 and now runners up 1996 and finalists in 1997, a Swans supporter would be unwise to expect a golden era to last very long, or to reappear very quickly once the normal ordinary form has returned. - Geez, 1993 was only 5 years ago after all! so to cut a long story short, Now is the hour of our salvation! Do It for Bobby! Finally, only one hero of the Bloods last flag is still kicking, the Mighty Bob Pratt, and I'm sure he'd love to see the flag once more flying in Clarendon Street before he puts away the boots for the last time. Bob was wheeled around the G in '96 only to be disap­ pointed with the final outcome, this time he'll really be able to "Cheer Cheer The Red & The White!" along with thousands of other souls on both sides of the Barassi line. WHO IS THAT TALL, DARK, HANDSOME PLAYER?? Captioned "KICKETI AND RUN: Swan Derek Kickett takes charge against Brisbane yesterday", this picture of Troy Cook occupied most of page 137 of Sydney's The Sunday Telegraph, February 15, 1998. Come on guys, get it right. by Jo-Anne Roberts he old Bloods supporters had much to was a big step towards the club's T feel aggrieved about for a long time. ingratiation of we southern disenfranchised The Sydney usurpation of 1983 and the types. subsequent years of Sydney's neglect of Melbourne left a bad taste in many a South Lea Miller heads the Melbourne office of the mouth for a long time.

Aaah, so from north and south (no , not THAT North, close to the Lake , Bloods! eeeeuuugh), in what was a season of many emotional highs - and one big low. And the Miller says reasons for the move were club's establishment of a Melbourne office twofold. "In one respect we were looking for somewhere m the heartland, bat it's also to do with our sponsorship with CUB". The CUB sponsorship is new this year and , we are heartened to hear, brings its own booty to Swans supporters. "We encourage members to come along here (to the Albert Park Hotel) because they get discounted rates at the hotel and bottle shop," says Miller. All the more reason to go and watch televised matches at the pub, which will be screened live. For the first time, Swans supporters in Melbourne will be able to watch interstate games together, rather than in lonely, isolated lounge rooms around Melbourne (as Mr Stephen Marmo, whose byline appears somewhere else in this glorious publication, and I have been doing for years, taking turns at putting on the pies and beer. Your shout, Mambo. PART 2: THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTH Miller says Melbourne Swans membership for '98 is going "very, very well", despite the fact the Swans aren't in Melbourne for a game until Round 7 (Collingwood at Waverley). "Tradition-ally there's a lot of members who don't join up until the first round. We don't play our first round in Melbourne until Round 7, so there might be a lot of people who'll wait and get it at the ground. We've got over 3000 members in Victoria. We closed our books last year at 4,300 members and we've got a target this year of 6000 in Melbourne. We've been doing some advertising in the Herald-Sun and on 3AW, which have both generated a lot of interest. " Miller says that apart from the "loyal old South supporters who keep coming back", there are "quite a few" Sydney-based fans who have relocated to Melbourne, as well as a lot of new members coming on board; to date, 40 per cent of '98 special guests Rodney Eade and new recruit memberships are new. "I really don't know, Wayne Schwass. "That's the day before we to be honest, what would attribute that high play North Melbourne, so that should be percentage," says Miller.

    A CATHOLIC ALL BOYS’ DAY & BOARDING COLLEGE IN THE EDMUND RICE TRADITION Reception to Year 12 ROSTREVOR MAGAZINE APRIL 2017 Why Rostrevor? With Eric Mercer Casey and Colby’s Dad Financial Planner Why did you choose Rostrevor for your boys? Initially it was the sense of tradition, I didn’t go here, I’m not an old scholar. I had friends that went here, heard a lot of great things: big open spaces and lots of opportunities. Both of my boys are into sport so it just ticked all of the right boxes. If you asked your sons what they liked about Rostrevor what would they say? Probably not in their words but a sense of belonging and a sense of brotherhood; it is a boys school but there is something special about it, boys really connect and bond forming great friendships which is not something found at most schools. How have you found the community? Very close and very involved. As a new parent coming in you are of course a little apprehensive not knowing anyone, but everyone welcomes you in and you in turn become involved in the school. It’s very close, everyone pitches in, it’s a very tight-knit community. What does See Further mean to you? See Further means to me vision, having a plan and working towards it, the opportunity they have, where essentially they can be anything they want to be. What has surprised you about Rostrevor? The down to earth community feel; everyone is really involved in the school a lot more then we initially felt, everyone is really approachable from the principal through to teachers and parents.

  • Week9 E-Record .Indd
    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.
