  • ON the TAKE T O N Y J O E L a N D M at H E W T U R N E R
    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.

  • Altior Et Sapientior June 2018
    PENLEIGH AND ESSENDON GRAMMAR SCHOOL Altior et Sapientior June 2018 Altior et Sapientior PENLEIGH AND ESSENDON GRAMMAR SCHOOL 1 From the Principal On Monday 7 May I had the pleasure of providing some words of welcome at our annual Colours luncheon that is attended by the ninety or so students who are current recipients of School Colours or senior school leaders. I noted Melbourne’s fascination with the success of the Richmond Football Club in 2017 and, referring to an interview in the Herald Sun, noted a side-story about the team’s captain, Trent Cotchin, a former student of the school from the Class of 2007. At the end of the 2016 season his leadership skills were being widely questioned, yet, one year later, he was being lauded as one of the competition’s great captains. The interview focussed on what was different for him in 2017. Trent had explained, “Anxiety and pressure are only truly present when the focus is solely on the result”. He added, “Failure is … about not being authentic, not going for it and not dreaming big. The more you focus on results the more you lose sight of the here and now and what you can control. Your outlook shifts and … you become distracted by things you can’t control. You forget your strengths, the things you are passionate about; the things that matter. You lose perspective. You also lose [your sense of] joy.” I reminded our students that their teachers “talk regularly, and in similar terms, about your studies. It’s students who focus on their marks and not the joy of learning that find school unsatisfying.

  • Corporate Governance Failings and Performance Enhancing Drugs
    A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs Abstract In 2013, two well-known Australian sporting clubs – the Essendon Football Club (AFL) and the Cronulla Sharks Rugby League Club (NRL), were both investigated for performance enhancing drugs in their elite sports science programs. News of the initial investigations was met with disbelief by supporters, players, club administrators and the respective governing bodies – the AFL and the NRL. What followed was a period of intense and rigorous independent investigation by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the AFL and the NRL. In August and December 2013 respectively, severe sanctions were handed down to the Essendon Football Club and the Cronulla Sharks. This paper provides an overview of the background to the saga in each of the respective clubs. It provides a time-line of the events before, during and after the initial investigation by the independent bodies. The paper concludes by linking the events at the respective clubs, to short-comings in a number of important corporate governance practices. Keywords: accountability, corporate governance, international sports associations, crisis, performance enhancing drugs, National Rugby League (NRL), Australian Football League (AFL) 1 A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs 1. Introduction Financial stakes involved in professional sport can create powerful incentives for the use of performance enhancing substances (Rapp 2009). Much empirical evidence supports a strong link between on-field results and club revenues (e.g. Morrow 1999; Barajas, Fernandez- Jardon et al. 2005; Pinnuck and Potter 2006; Bernile and Lyandres 2011; Bell, Brooks et al.

NATIONALITY CAPABILITIES Australian Guest Panellist Clinics DATE OF BIRTH Ambassador 4/7/90 Social Media PR Campaign TEAMS Appearances Richmond INTERESTS Northern Knights West Preston Lakeside Health & Nutrition Lifestyle Beauty & Fashion Wellbeing Leadership Family Business © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com BIO Having grown up in the northern Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, Trent spent his later teenage years in the Victorian town of Wollert and played his junior football with West Preston Lakeside in the Northern Football League. He represented the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup Under 18 competition at the age of 16, while also captaining Vic Metro at the Under 16 National Championships. A member of the AIS-AFL Academy elite junior pathway, he spent time training with the Richmond Football Club in his draft and was subsequently snapped up by the Tigers with pick 2 in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft. He was handed former Richmond champion Wayne Campbell’s Number 9 jumper after it had been rested for a couple of seasons. Cotchin overcame an early ankle injury to debut in round 8, 2008 and immediately showed his potential to finish third in the AFL Rising Star Award. He battled injuries again in 2009 before finally getting the opportunity to show the AFL world what he was capable of in 2010 after being voted into the club’s leadership group before his 20th birthday – a testament to his natural leadership skills.
