The Best of the Best Best 2WORKSHEET THE BEST OF THE BEST THE GOAL MACHINES 1. (a) Find the number of goals the players referred to below kicked in their career. Ron Todd kicked the least number of goals of the group with Gary Ablett sr playing 81 games; 5 more than Todd and kicking 117 more goals than Todd. John Coleman kicked 93 more goals than Ablett, scoring 537 goals while playing 17 more games than Ablett. Peter Hudson, who played 129 games, kicked 20 more goals than Dick Lee while playing 101 fewer games than Lee. Bob Pratt who kicked 681 goals, 46 less than Hudson, played 29 more games than Hudson. Tony Lockett holds the goal-kicking record with 1360 goals, 106 more goals than Jason Dunstall and 61 more goals than Gordon Coventry. Locket played 200 more games than Ablett with Coventry playing 25 more games and Dunstall 12 fewer than Locket. (b) Peter Hudson’s career saw him kick 606 goals in 102 games. He suffered a knee injury and played only three matches in the next four seasons. He returned in 1977 to kick another 110 goals. (i) Find Hudson’s goal-kicking average per game for his first 102 games. (ii) How many goals did he score in the three games played before 1977? (iii) Using a conservative average of 5 goals per game, show Hudson would have passed Gordon Coventry’s total if he had scored at this rate for the 115 games. THE COACHES 2. Rank the coaches in order of success. Use statistics such as the total number of games coached by each person, the percentage of wins in their career, the number of premierships won and whatever else you think is relevant. Tom Hafey Richmond: 248 games, 173 wins, 73 losses, 2 draws; Premierships 1967, 1969, 1973, 1974 Collingwood: 138 games, 89 wins, 47 losses, 2 draws Geelong: 66 games, 31 wins, 35 losses Sydney: 70 games, 43 wins, 27 losses Frank “Checker” Hughes Richmond: 120 games, 87 wins, 31 losses, 2 draws; Premiership 1932 Melbourne: 254 games, 157 wins, 95 losses, 2 draws; Premierships 1939-1941, 1948 Allan Jeanes St Kilda: 332 games, 193 wins, 138 losses, 1 draw; Premiership 1966 Hawthorn: 221 games, 159 wins, 61 losses, 1 draw; Premierships 1983, 1986, 1989 Richmond: 22 games, 5 wins, 17 losses John Kennedy Hawthorn: 296 games, 181 wins, 113 losses, 2 draws; Premierships 1961, 1971, 1976 North Melbourne (Kangaroos): 113 games, 55 wins, 55 losses, 3 draws David Parkin Hawthorn: 57 wins, 37 losses; Premiership 1978; Carlton: 79 wins, 40 losses, 1 draw; Premierships 1981-1982 Fitzroy: 30 wins, 39 losses Carlton: 140 wins, 94 losses, 1 draw; Premiership 1995. Norm Smith Melbourne: 195 wins, 107 losses, 5 draws; Premierships 1955-1957, 1959, 1960, 1964 Kevin Sheedy Essendon: 386 wins, 242 losses, 7 draws; Premierships 1984, 1985, 1993, 2000 2SOLUTIONS THE BEST OF THE BEST THE BEST OF THE BEST 1. (a) Gary Ablett: 444 goals, 81 games John Coleman: 537 goals, 98 games Ron Todd: 327 goals, 76 games Bob Pratt: 681 goals, 158 games Tony Lockett: 1360 goals, 281 games Gordon Coventry: 1299 goals, 306 games Peter Hudson: 727 goals, 129 games Dick Lee: 707 goals, 230 games Jason Dunstall: 1254 goals, 269 games (b) (i) For Peter Hudson — average number of goals per game 606 = 5.94 102 (ii) He scored 727 goals in total, 606 then 110 and the remainder in the three games. 727 – (606 + 110) = 11 goals (iii) Potential number of goals missed: 5 x 115 = 575 Total: 575 + 606 + 110 + 11= 1302 Gordon Coventry scored 1299, so Peter Hudson would have passed his total goal score by three goals. 2. A preliminary method is to rank the coaches according to percentage win, number of games coached and number of premierships won. Points are given to each coach — maximum score 7, minimum score 1. (i) Ranking by percentage win (ii) Ranking by number of games coached Hughes (7 points) Sheedy (7 points) Smith, Hafey (5 points) Jeanes (6 points) Jeanes (4 points) Hafey (5 points) Sheedy (3 points) Parkin (4 points) Parkin (2 points) Kennedy (3 points) Kennedy (1 point) Hughes (2 points) Smith (1 point) (iii) Ranking by number of premierships won Rank order Smith (7 points) 1. Frank “Checker” Hughes (15 points) Hughes (6 points) 2. Norm Smith (13 points) Sheedy, Jeanes, Hafey, Parkin (2 points) 3. Kevin Sheedy, Allan Jeanes, Tom Hafey (12 points) Kennedy (1 point) 4. David Parkin (8 points) 5. John Kennedy (5 points) Other arguments: Flexibility and popularity in coaching multiple clubs: Hafey coached at four clubs winning premierships with one of them. Parkin and Jeanes coached three clubs winning at least one premiership with two of the three clubs. Hughes coached two teams where each won premierships, while Kennedy coached two teams where one was successful in winning premierships. Smith and Sheedy coached one team with Smith achieving six premierships and Sheedy four premierships. Combining such arguments with the rank order point system above could lead to the refined ranking of: 1. Frank “Checker” Hughes 2. Norm Smith 3. Allan Jeanes 4. Tom Hafey 5. Kevin Sheedy 6. David Parkin 7. John Kennedy It’s up to each student to justify their own ranking order of the seven coaches..

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009 THE NEW SEASON Most community football leagues around Australia kick off this weekend or immediately after Easter and NAB AFL Auskick Centres commence their programs in the next month. This newsletter focuses on a range of topics which are relevant to the commencement of the 2009 Australian Football season. PLAYING AND TRAINING IN HOT CONDITIONS The new season generally starts in warm to hot conditions and there is always a lift in intensity once the premiership season proper starts. Regardless of the quality of pre-season training programs, early games are usually more stressful and players and coaches should keep safety factors associated with high intensity exercise in warm conditions in mind – these include individual player workloads (use of the bench), hydration and sun sense. The following article by AIS/AFL Academy dietitian Michelle Cort provides good advice regarding player hydration. Toughen Up - Have a Drink! Why are so many trainers necessary on a senior AFL field and why they are constantly approaching players for a drink during a game? Obviously the outcome of not drinking enough fluid is dehydration. The notion of avoiding fluid during sport to ‘train’, ‘toughen’ or ‘adjust’ an athlete’s body to handle dehydration is extremely outdated & scientifically incorrect. Even very small amounts of dehydration will reduce an AFL player’s performance. Most senior AFL conditioning, nutrition and medical staff invest considerable time into ensuring the players are doing everything possible to prevent significant dehydration from occurring in training and games. The effects on performance are not limited to elite athletes.

There would be development coaching, teaching the kids and learning to coach.

At some stage, perhaps at the start or somewhere along the journey, Ithere would be a period as standalone coach at under-18 or state league level, where with every decision made, the buck stops with you.

  • Week9 E-Record .Indd
    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

  • Coleman Medallist
    Coleman Medal Student Activity 7 8 9 10 11 12 TI-Nspire™ Investigation Student 30 min Full Stop for Full Forwards The Coleman medal, named after John Coleman (Essendon 1949 to 1954) is awarded to the AFL player that kicks the most goals in a season. Coleman kicked 12 goals in his debut match and still mixes it with the best when it comes to the average number of goals kicked per game. Peter Hudson was the first Coleman medal recipient to kick more than 100 goals in a season (1968, 125 goals), he backed this up with 146 goals in 1970, 140 in 1971 and 105 in 1977. Since this amazing era, players such as Jason Dunstall, Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett (Snr) have collected multiple Coleman medals consisting of more than 100 goals in a season. More recently, recipients of the medal have kicked between 60 and 80 goals per season. Does this recent trend represent a ‘full stop’ for full forwards? Your task is to see if data supports the notion that the position of full forward is no longer as critical as it was in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s. Coleman Data Open the TI-nspire file “Full Forward Full Stop”. Navigate to page 1.2. Player Alphabetical listing Coleman Medallist. Team Team when medal was awarded. Year Year when medal was awarded. Goals Number of goals kicked in the season. Do not attempt to sort individual columns, this will disassociate the player with their corresponding data. When statistical plots are generated they automatically display in the appropriate order based on the data represented on the x axis.

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - May 2010
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - May 2010 Coach AFL this month goes to Leigh Matthews for advice on how to handle a significant loss. Jimmy Bartel gives his perspective on the impact and value of junior coaches. We go to Wayne Goldsmith to consider the questions parents want to know as their children commence their involvement in football for another year. We provide a drill that will improve your player‟s vision, reflexes and ball handling. The newsletter provides an update on the AIS/AFL Academy tour to South Africa and the female coach level 2 scholarship holders. There are updates from states and a calendar of state coaching events coming up. HOW TO HANDLE A DRUBBING By Leigh Matthews The fact that the six-month AFL season is more like a marathon than a sprint is really self-evident. It is a theme that will be pushed in a large variety of ways and means by all 16 coaches. The reality is that while each round provides a glimpse of what is to come, ultimately a win or a loss is the only tangible result that survives into the months ahead. Collingwood fell in by a solitary point against the unfancied Demons, but still all importantly gained their second win and got the valuable four points. Melbourne, despite a gallant performance, still came away without the win. Once the final siren sounds and the game is decided, it is all about stimulating ongoing optimum performance. A big part of the coaching art is to react to the post-game mood and then set the tone and agenda for the week ahead.
