  • Australian Football League
    Australian rules football: Australian Football League ‘Football brings together people from all cultural backgrounds and all walks of life. Everyone is equal – united by their love of the game’.1 ustralian football is a strange paradox – for a game that is played almost exclusively in one part of the globe it is able to transcend cultural barriers and ethnic divides and Abring communities together. Australian Football League (AFL) CEO Andrew Demetriou said: “The game invites us all to be involved. We estimate we have more than 20 nationalities represented on our current playing lists and we are certain that this will continue to rise into the future as we welcome more people from more communities to the AFL.”2 The fact is more people are flocking to participate in Australian football than any other football code in Australia. A total of 539,526 registered participants played football in 2005 (a 4.6 % rise from 2004), and membership of the 16 AFL clubs reached a record 506,509 in 2005, the first time the 500,000 mark has been surpassed.3 Spectator support at games is also at record highs – the attendance record for the Toyota AFL premiership season of 6.28 million was set in 2005, up six per cent on 2004 figures. In addition, total attendances for the Wizard Home Loans Cup, Toyota AFL premiership season and Toyota AFL finals series passed seven million for the first time.4 On average, 4.02 million people watched AFL matches on television in 2005 (up 1.2 per cent on 2004), and the 2005 AFL grand final between the Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles was the most-watched television program in Australia that year, with an average audience in the five mainland capital cities of 3.386 million people.5 Like the spectacular marks which signify the game – Australian football is flying high.

Signature: Date: 20 September 2014 The Power of Sport iii Abstract This thesis set out to find evidence whether sport was effective at breaking down cultural barriers across sporting communities for Indigenous people and those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) backgrounds, and if it could build bridges by contributing to wider social, physical and health issues, and thereby generate increased social capital in communities. Drawing upon new insights and experiences of online survey respondents and interviewees who are directly involved in various capacities in all levels of sport in Australia, this research finds that sport is not the magic bullet to ‘cure all’ social ills that many assume, in fact in many cases sport reaffirms many existing power structures which cause discrimination and inequality. However, participation in and through sport can help processes of belonging, trust and inclusion, and if managed correctly, sport can be an excellent medium for encouraging awareness and valuable public debate on wider social issues. This thesis aims to contribute to existing sport and sociology studies concerning social capital and exclusion and discrimination in elite and community sporting contexts.
