The Breakers defeated the Diggers 15.11 (101) to 8.11 (59). The Breakers kicked a flurry of five goals in the opening quarter to double Merimbula‟s score. Breakers coach Brent Ohlin said the team was delighted with the win after a close chal- lenge. “It‟s a fantastic feeling around the club, we spoke about it heavily over the last couple of weeks,” Ohlin said. “The boys pushed hard and we‟re happy to get the result.” In the second quarter, the Diggers regained a lot of possession and nearly levelled the score. “It was a very open style of footy,” Ohlin said. “If we cleared the ruck we ran away with it, if they cleared it they took it away. “The whole first half was definitely a battle of the midfields.” Luke Kingston was a standout for the Breakers, winning plenty of contests, while Kane Fowler also impressed. The Breakers surged ahead at the third quarter break to lead by about 40 points, but inju- ries were taking a toll on the squad. “We didn‟t have a bench left because of a few injuries. “We had a bit of a chat at the break and we knew it was going to be tough.” Ohlin said he backed the Breakers‟ kicking ability and opted for a physical final quarter. “I said to the guys „let‟s go man-to-man‟. “Going back to a more contested style of footy play was a real game changer. “In the final quarter we kicked six goals to none,” he said. The win sees the Breakers rising the SCAFL ladder to a clear second place. “We wanted to consolidate our position in the top three, but the win puts us clear in sec- ond,” Ohlin said. The Breakers are now looking forward to their match against the Bega Bombers. “We‟re very confident, but Bega‟s been in really good form of late. “We‟ll expect a good fight, but hopefully we‟ll come out on top.” After not being able to field a side last year, Ohlin said he hoped to encourage footy fans to back the Breakers. “We‟ve come back from the dead so to speak. “This could be a really good time for the club coming up the ladder. “We just want to encourage people to get down to the footy,” he said. ROUND 11 PHOTOS OF THE WEEK SEA EAGLES KNOCK WIND FROM WHALERS' SAILS Eden Whalers defeated by the Tathra Sea Eagles 23.12 (150) to 10.8 (68) Numbers woes are still plagu- ing the Eden Whalers, which impacted on Saturday‟s game. However, late arrivals and some spares from the Bega club saw numbers strong enough to get the game going. Club stalwart Harry Weatherman said the opening passages of play were even. “The game started out with the ball moving quickly up and down the oval,” Weath- erman said. “Both teams were scoring early, with the Whalers through Nic Smith.” Unfortunately for the home side, momentum shifted to the Sea Eagles. “After the frenzied opening, it was all Tathra and they were making Eden work hard, scoring the next five goals.” However, Brent Kelly fired through a late goal for the Whalers and kept the Sea Ea- gles within reach. The second quarter saw a renewed effort from the Whalers. Weatherman said Ryan Turnbull enjoyed his role as captain and led by example through the midfield. “With the hard work from the captain, Matt Creswick was able to score a goal,” Weatherman said. Jaydn Spivey joined in shortly after when he was awarded a 50-metre penalty. He had the range to the big posts and slotted a goal neatly between them. Eden got within just three goals midway through the second quarter, but the Sea Ea- gles surged ahead again to keep the margin around 40 points. Weatherman said the Whalers were determined to not be embarrassed by last year‟s premiers. “The Whalers had a mission to kick as many goals as possible and not let the score blow out.” Unfortunately, Tathra‟s experience shone through in a dominant second half per- formance. The Sea Eagles piled on more goals in spite of valiant defence from the Eden backs. The margin widened to 80 points in the visitors‟ favour by the full-time siren. The Whalers will be under the pump again when they travel north to take on the Pambula Panthers this weekend. Junior Player of the Week Jayden Scott Which Club do you play for?

What they said... 'Adam is hurting, he feels it's racist, many, many people feel this is racist and therefore why would you do it, knowing that' AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan 'This whole Adam Goodes drama is ridiculous. The public can boo or chant whoever's name they want! It's nothing to do with being racist....' Former Australian test bowler, Shane Warne On August 29, 2015, Indigenous AFL player Adam Goodes was again booed during a game between his team, the Sydney Swans, and St Kilda. The game was played at Etihad Stadium. It was reported that St Kilda fans booed Goodes when he touched the ball early in the game then again when he kicked a goal in the second quarter. This was Goodes first game back after taking several weeks off in response to consistent booing from opposition crowds during away games. This booing has been occurring for about eighteen months. Goodes has been a prominent spokesperson for Indigenous rights and there are those who claim that the negative response to Goodes is racially based. Others claim it is a response to aspects of Goodes's game or to his aggressive attitude toward opposition supporters. On September 19, 2015, Goodes announced his retirement from AFL football. On September 24, 2015, it was reported that Goodes had declined a lap of honour to mark his retirement and his contribution to the game.

    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 21/05 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Ross Booth 1 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1 INTRODUCTION Whilst gate revenue as a source of revenue for the (member-owned win-maximising) clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) is relatively small and declining as a proportion, it is still an important source of revenue difference between clubs, and potentially their on-field playing performance. Until 2000, gate revenue was shared between the home and away teams (after the deduction of match expenses), after which the policy was changed to allow the home team to keep all of the (net) gate receipts. In the AFL, membership income, reserved seat and corporate box income has never been shared, but the league does share the revenue from key income streams such as national TV broadcast rights (there is no local TV revenue), corporate sponsorship and finals. The AFL (1998) recommended in its Gate Sharing Discussion Paper to change the gate-sharing arrangements, because the intended equalising of gate revenue was not being achieved. Whilst net gate proceeds had traditionally been shared 50-50, membership and reserved seat income had not. This meant that a club playing in a large stadium with a large cash-paying crowd provided a good return for the visiting side. However, a club playing in a small stadium filled mostly with members and reserved seat holders had little room for a cash-paying crowd, and hence provided a poor return to the visiting team.

  • By Simon Draycott Exclusively for Fpcc.Vic.Cricket.Com.Au 26 November 2014
    By Simon Draycott Exclusively for fpcc.vic.cricket.com.au 26 November 2014 With Luke Walker approaching the 200 game milestone in both Premier Cricket and the AFL, he took time to look back in this interview for the FPCC website. While most people prepared for the 2014 AFL grand final at the local bottle shop, goal umpire Luke Walker was going through his usual routine in anticipation for his 6th consecutive grand final. “You try to keep the day as normal as possible; you try to get to the game at the same time, wake up at the same time and go through your normal routine.” “It’s fantastic being involved in the day. It’s the culmination of a long week. You find out Monday that you’ve got the game, we train on the MCG on the Thursday and the grand final parade on Friday is exciting.” Walker’s umpiring career started in 1998 in the Mornington Peninsula Football League when a mate from school suggested he could earn a bit of pocket money and not have to run the kilometres the field and boundary umpires did. His talents were quickly recognised and he was promoted to the Victorian Football League and then the AFL in 2004.
