A crowd of 12,901 - the largest crowd for a Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) game witnessed the Renegades just beat the Stars on what was a warmish Saturday afternoon in Melbourne on 2nd of January 2016. The Renegades won the first derby encounter between the two with just one-ball remaining but it was the crowd that stole the headlines as not only was it a domestic record but it was also bigger than any Women’s T20 final. “It’s definitely one of my best memories so far and I’m going to take it back home and hopefully we can get the same going in South Africa,” said Stars player, South African Mignon du Preez. The MCG estimated that 5,500 people were in attendance in innings break and more than double that entered through the gates for the second half of the game, which ended 90-minutes before the Stars and Renegades took the field for the men’s BBL encounter. It was the first televised live game of the competition on free-to-air television with Network 10 covering the action and it lived up to it’s billing.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 2.Indd
    TAC Cup Round 2 2 & 3 April 2016 $3.00 Season 2016 kicking into gear Wasn’t it great to have football back last weekend, both at AFL and TAC Cup level? While the next crop of future AFL talent was taking to the field in TAC Cup games throughout Victoria last weekend, it was a highlight of the Easter weekend to see eight draft ees debut in Round 1 of the AFL season – including 2015 Morrish Medal winner Clayton Oliver who claimed the first NAB AFL Rising Star nomination of the season aft er his 22-disposal debut for Melbourne. While the TAC Cup season started last weekend for the best U18 male talent across Victoria, last Monday saw the conclusion of a very successful Youth Girls Academy Challenge for the most promising U18 females across the state. Congratulations to the Dandenong Stingrays, who defeated the Sandringham Dragons in the finale to the month-long tournament. It is pleasing to see TAC support not only the next crop of elite U18 boys but also what will be the next crop of future female AFL footballers via the U18 Youth Girl Academies across eight regions. During the week we celebrated the launch of the Peter Jackson VFL and new VFL Women’s competition. With the launch of a national AFL women’s competition in 2017, it is exciting for AFL Victoria to launch the first VFL Women’s season this weekend. Also at the launch we looked back at the history of the TAC Cup competition, with last week signalling the beginning of its 25th season.

Footscray Tech began in 1916 when Antarctic explorer Arch Hoadley had a vision of creating opportunities for young men in the western suburbs. Today that school is Victoria University. As an engineer himself he dreamed of developing a skilled workforce of highly educated young men. In short, Footscray Tech students were told to regard an education as the door of opportunity and to strive for the highest standards of personal performance regardless of their backgrounds. Victoria University and the Western Jets TAC Cup Club have embraced the same principles and have been in partnership for almost 20 years. Victoria University are now recognised as a major national sporting university and the Western Jets are developing young people in the TAC Cup so they can reach their full potential. Both organisations benefit significantly of this enduring partnership and in the words of Arch Hoadley are working extremely hard on this original principle ‘opportunity for all’.

  • It's Not ALL About Winning: a Modern Sporting Example to Achieve
    It’s not ALL about winning: A modern sporting example to achieve program outcomes Stephen O'Brien Performance coach course: Final Task It’s not ALL about winning: A modern sporting example to achieve program outcomes. PURPOSE: Every coach and player wants to win. This is the one common outcome that all programs have, whether playing at a community rugby level or at the elite performance level of the game. So the question must be asked, if everyone shares winning as a common goal, why is it always at the top of the priorities? Winning is the culmination of culture, core skill and execution. In my years in rugby development, most coaches have emphasised winning often neglecting the process it takes to become winners. In this paper, I will endeavour to use a current sporting example of where placing the emphasis on something other than winning is so much more beneficial - not only to the culture of the environment but also the long term success of the program. INTRODUCTION: Where do we start? The Chicken or Egg scenario… What comes first? Do you design and implement a program to your coaching strengths / strategy and then develop players accordingly OR do you develop your players to be able to adapt to any strategy or style of play required? If we look through a different lens we can potentially open up another world of opportunities for coaches and players. Referencing the Hawthorn Hawks and Alastair Clarkson example, I will demonstrate the possibilities of looking through a different lens in terms of HOW WE DRIVE OUR PROGRAM OUTCOMES.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17 MELBOURNE CRICKET GROUND TRUST TRUSTEES OF THE MCG TRUST 2017 saw the retirement of two very significant members of the MCG Team. Mr RN (Bob) Herbert AM retired as Chair of the Trust in May 2017 and Mr Stephen Gough retired as CEO of the MCC in March. L to R: Ben Foskett (Executive Officer of the Trust), Stuart Fox (The new CEO of the MCC), Stephanie Reeves, Dale Monteith, Stephen Gough (Retired CEO of the MCC), Bob Herbert AM (Retired Chair of the Trust), Hon Pat McNamara, Paul O’Malley, Hon Peter Costello AC, Jane Fenton AM, Ian Carson AM (Absent: Siobhan McKenna & new Trust Chairman, Hon Steve Bracks AC) CHAIRMAN’S REPORT I am delighted to be reporting to MCG stakeholders as the newly appointed Chair of the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust (the Trust). Since my appointment in late May 2017 l have been tremendously encouraged by the briefings that l’ve received that confirm in my own mind that the MCG continues to meet its objective to be The People’s Ground. This ground has been the site of so many memorable events and activities throughout its history. But it is not so much “the event” that is important, it’s the people’s participation and engagement that make the MCG such a special place. And whilst The G is an iconic and integral part of Melbourne’s and Victoria’s infrastructure, it is also an equally important piece of Australia’s sporting infrastructure….it’s a special place for all Melburnians, all Victorians and all Australians.
