  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.

  • From the President's Desk Meeting Report & Guest
    No 18 President: Sue Ballard 28 October 2020 Scan Me!! FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK What a year we have had in footy. While my team didn't make it to the finals I always like to watch the finals. There is always drama and this year had its share. While it is sad to see the end of a footy greats career to is refreshing to see that both teams and the crowd showed him the respect Gary Albert Jnr deserved. I remember back to being a child and meeting a football great and how he took the time to come over and talk to me. He listened and encouraged me and left a lasting impression. His name was Peter Crimmons. From that moment on I was a fan not just of his but Hawthorn. I cheered when he was part if their1971 premiership and cried as he celebrated the 1976 premiership with former team mates on his death bed. I chose my team. Having parents with competing teams I went neutral and chose a team to which nether would have objected. Most of my friends inherited their team from generations of family connections. Some went with popularity or success of a team at the time. I look at a city the size of Melbourne with so many local clubs and applaud the competition where fans can (in good times) watch a game in a great stadium like the MCG without the fear of fan violence or fear of personal danger. Friendly competition and passion for team but also respect for the game itself.
