    AFL Victoria Player Points System Policy January 2020 1 AFL VICTORIA PLAYER POINTS SYSTEM (PPS) POLICY 1. Objective of the Community Club Sustainability Program and PPS Policy The Community Club Sustainability Program (CCSP) subcommittee believes that equalisation of community football competitions is vital for community football. Even and fair competitions lead to interest, which leads to bigger crowds, which leads to stronger clubs and competitions. Even competitions allow supporters and club volunteers the chance to turn up on any given match day with the knowledge that the outcome of the game is uncertain and that their team is a chance of winning. This mindset motivates people to become and remain engaged with their community club and provides rewards and recognition to all those that assist in putting a team out on the field. The philosophy of competition equalisation is accepted in sports all around the world. Professional sporting bodies have accepted practices such as drafts, salary caps, and the like in order to help competitions ensure competitiveness and club sustainability. The objectives of the state PPS Policy are as follows, to: 1. support equalization of community football Competitions; 2. ensure teams fielded in the Competitions are strong and as equally matched as possible; 3. provide the best opportunities for players to develop and display their skills; 4. provide opportunities to compete at a community level within an orderly and fair system; 5. enable team spirit and public support; 6. encourage community and corporate sponsorships of Community Clubs; 7. reduce the inflationary nature of player payments to assist clubs survive financially and reduce financial burden/stress on Clubs; 8.

  • How to Reposition the Social, Cultural and Economic Value
    GALNYA ON WOKA PROSPERITY ON COUNTRY: HOW TO REPOSITION THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC VALUE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE GOULBURN MURRAY REGION Raelene L. Nixon ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7532-0995 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Melbourne Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Science December 2020 1 DECLARATION This is to certify that: I. The thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD II. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used III. The thesis is approximately 79 081 words Raelene Nixon December 2020 2 ABSTRACT Prime Minister Gillard's 'Closing the Gap' speech in February 2011 called on the country's First Peoples to take responsibility for improving their situation. This kind of rhetoric highlights one of the underlying reasons there has been no substantial improvement in the position of Indigenous Australian peoples. Indigenous peoples are predominately identified as 'the problem' and positioned as the agents who need to 'fix it', which ignores the influence of dominant culture in maintaining the current position of Indigenous peoples. Drawing on the experience and knowledge of Indigenous and government leaders working on strategies to empower Indigenous communities, this thesis captures the work undertaken in the Goulburn Murray region of Victoria in the quest to reposition the social, cultural and economic value of Indigenous peoples. For substantive change to be made, power relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians need to be realigned and dominant social structures reconstituted. Only once these shifts have been made can the country’s original inhabitants enjoy parity in education, health, employment, and economic prosperity.

  • What Makes Us Different? the Role of Rumbalara Football and Netball Club
    7 What makes us different? The role of Rumbalara Football and Netball Club in promoting Indigenous wellbeing Joyce Doyle Bradley Firebrace Rachel Reilly Tui Crumpen Kevin Rowley Onemda VicHealth Koori Health Unit, The University of Melbourne, Australia The Rumbalara Football and Netball Club has competed in regional football and netball leagues since 1997, continuing a tradition that began with the Cummergunja football teams of the 1890s. The Club is an important contributor to cultural identity for Aboriginal people in the Goulburn-Murray Rivers region of northern Victoria. It is a place where Aboriginal people can (re)connect with community, language, and stories of culture and history. It is also a vehicle for building relationships with mainstream Australia. Through competing in regional football and netball leagues, the Club brings Aboriginal community into mainstream society, working towards and demanding recognition, equality, and respect for Aboriginal people. The Club’s hosting of visiting players and supporters enables mainstream visitors to accept reciprocity from the Aboriginal community. These characteristics of participation make up part of ‘being healthy’ for Aboriginal people. Because they drive engagement of Aboriginal people with the Club, they are foundational to the Club’s programs and activities that fit with a more conventional definition of ‘health promotion’, including programs to increase physical activity and improve diet, promote engagement of young people in education, and facilitate employment opportunities. The Club also engages in research which seeks to describe the breadth, strategies, and effectiveness of this health promotion activity The Rumbalara Football and Netball odds. Club (RFNC) was accepted into the Goulburn Sport was the original activity that Valley Football League for the 1997 football brought Aboriginal people to RFNC in 1997.
