    PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP E-FOOTY RECORD ROUND 16 E-Footy RECORD 2nd August 2008 Issue 16 Editorial with Marty King GET INTO THE SPIRIT OF KICK AROUND AUSTRALIA DAY Next Thursday, 7th August, is the 150th anniversary of the fi rst recorded match of Australian Football between Melbourne schools Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar at Richmond Paddock, at what is now Yarra Park next to the MCG. As part of the celebrations of this wonderful occasion the AFL is staging ‘Kick Around Australia Day’ and I hope footy fans throughout Queensland will join the party. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to come together through football, and to wear your team colours or club scarf and have a kick of the famous Sherrin. There will be a stack of celebrations right across the country, but please, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be part of it. Introduce friends, workmates and school friends to AFL and all that makes it the No.1 sport in Australia. Schools around the country have been busy making preparations for the day, with thousands of kids set to take part in football themed lessons, designed in line with the curriculum. Businesses and community organizations, too, are encouraged to get into the spirit and help recognize football’s 150th birthday, which is part of the Tom Wills Round, dedicated to one of the founding forefathers of our game. For further information on this and other 150th year celebrations, visit www.150years.com.au AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND COUNTRY SIDE Special congratulations to the Queensland Country side which won the division two title at last week’s Australian Country Championships in Shepparton, Victoria.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.

    Submission 020 Inquiry into the contribution of sport to Indigenous wellbeing and mentoring Executive Summary What the AFL contributes The AFL is a leader in community and is committed to making Australian football as inclusive as possible for all Australians. We invest in the order of $8million into dedicated Indigenous programs and staff. In addition the AFL in partnership with the Federal government is providing to support to initiatives such as the Korin Gamadji Institute, Cape York House and the Michael Long institute. AFL is the sport of choice for Indigenous Australia, who represent 6% of all participants 10% of AFL lists 3% of employees In 2008 the AFL developed its Indigenous Framework to outline its philosophy, practice and programs with respect to development in Indigenous communities. The underpinning principle of this framework is partnership. The contribution and guidance of key Indigenous staff in leading our program development has been key to the AFL’s success. As part of our Framework the AFL welcomes the independent evaluation of our programs and strives to create a culture of continuous improvement in all that we deliver. In this spirit we have provided copies of all of the independent evaluations of our programs in this submission. The benefits of our contribution At the local level our programs contribute to community cohesion, health and fitness and social inclusion. At a national level our national programs contribute to building aspiration, enabling cultural expression and strengthening identity and self-determination through education and employment aspiration and achievement. The AFL has led the way in promoting a positive image of Indigenous Australia through initiatives such as Indigenous Round and Dreamtime @ G.
