On average, each VFL round presents about 220 VFL listed players with the chance to play the best standard of football they can. They test themselves against quality opposition and, in some cases, enhance their prospects of impressing talent scouts to possibly be drafted by an AFL club. This means under the 16-team structure we have this year, there are about 40 more opportunities for VFL players than last season and that’s the charter of the VFL in the Victorian football talent pathway – to provide opportunities. VFLR: How challenging will it be for the traditional stand-alone VFL teams to be competitive on and off the fi eld? GW: The environment for all VFL clubs has been pretty challenging in the past fi ve to ten years. Clubs have had to adapt to that environment and many have emerged as stronger clubs because of that challenge. The sporting landscape continues to throw up challenges and how clubs deal with that determines how they will progress into the future. Already, there is evidence of local communities ‘buying into’ stand-alone clubs who they can identify with as ‘their’ club and consequently those clubs are seen as more relevant.

  • The International World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions
    Bond Law Review Volume 23 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Chris Davies Follow this and additional works at: http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr This Article is brought to you by the Faculty of Law at ePublications@bond. It has been accepted for inclusion in Bond Law Review by an authorized administrator of ePublications@bond. For more information, please contact Bond University's Repository Coordinator. The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Abstract The recent terminations of the contracts of NRL player, Joel Monaghan and the AFL’s Brendan Fevola, for off-field indiscretions, has highlighted the significance of the bringing the game into disrepute clauses contained in standard player contracts. Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs received extensive world wide media attention, and the outcome of this negative coverage was the loss of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. This indicates that such contracts can be terminated on the basis that a sportsperson’s behaviour was having a negative impact on the sponsor’s image. It is for the same reason that sponsors have put pressure on the governing bodies of team sports to take appropriate action for off-field indiscretions. The Court of Arbitration in D’Arcy v Australian Olympic Committee, has also held that a competitor’s behaviour in an incident where criminal charges were laid, may, in itself be sufficient to bring a sport, or themselves, into disrepute, regardless of whether the competitor is later found guilty or innocent.
