We are proud to have partnered with the North Melbourne FC for the past 2 years, during which we were recognised as the benchmark in delivering the AFL’s Next Generation Academy. This year also saw two of the leading community junior football leagues, partner with us as their exclusive football development provider. We enter our second year as football programs provider with the South Metro JFL and commence our football development partnership with the Yarra Junior Football League. For the 4th consecutive year, our Elite Camps were held. Players represented Victoria against Western Australian representative team Peel Thunder, in an incredibly special opportunity for all involved. Our MasterClass Series was continued across Victoria. This very popular elite program has attracted over 3,700 junior players from over 11 leagues throughout metro and regional Victoria. We are also proud of partnering with 30 local clubs, across Victoria. These relationships allow for us to develop club players and the coaches. A special thank you to all the parents, guardians and families who have allowed these players to take part in the 2018 Elite STP.

P a g e | 9 AFL DRAFT COMBINE FITNESS TESTING All Elite STP players are entitled to undertake our AFL Draft Combine Fitness Testing. It is up to each player to select the session that suits them best, by logging onto their ‘MyDFS’ member page. Numbers will be capped for each session so we encourage you to register early. Players are only permitted to attend one testing session. There is no extra cost for this session. OPTIONS Sunday, October 28 Eagle Stadium, Werribee 12:30pm or 2:30pm Sunday, November 4 RMIT Campus, Bundoora 10:30am or 12:30pm Sunday, November 11 Wesley College, Glen Waverley 10:30am or 12:30pm Sunday, November 18 Beacon Hills College, Berwick 12:30pm or 2:30pm P a g e | 10 YOUR ELITE STP TRAINING JUMPER Please ensure that you utilise as much space as possible when writing your name in the white boxes on the front and back of your jumper. If possible, keep your nickname to approximately 8 letters or less. 300 TOUCHES The work you do away from the training track is just as important as the training itself. At every level of the game, the truly great players are always the ones who work harder than anyone else. They train away from training, they train in their backyard, in the local park, at school, and even during the ads of their favourite TV show. Great players always have a footy in their hands. This is where the DFS ‘300 touches’ comes into play. Between now and your first training session, we encourage you to do your 300 touches EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Log into your ‘MyDFS’ page for full details on 300 touches, which includes a video for you to watch and learn from. P a g e | 11 THE AIMS OF THE ELITE STP AIMS OF THE ELITE STP: To introduce and implement a structured football development program. To assist with player individual improvement.

METHOD OF ACHIEVING AIMS: By introducing and exposing the players to the basic disciplines, principles and requirements relating to elite junior footballers By exposing the players to a wide range of issues that they need to consider should they want to become the best footballer they can be.

By demanding a respectful, tolerant, engaging and enjoyable atmosphere where every player has an opportunity to develop and feel comfortable.

    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.

    A A’COURT, BILL (West Adelaide): Acourt was placed on Oliver and to keep this man from taking his sensational marks gives a man plenty to do. Acourt did not let him do too much, and played a good game beside.1 Father of star West Adelaide ruckman of the 1950s Fred A’Court (profiled below), Bill A’Court was a strong defender who also played with West. He debuted with the club in 1909, and was a key member that same year of its winning grand final team against Port Adelaide. He went on to play in the premiership sides of 1911 and 1912 as well. From 1909 to 1915 A’Court played 83 SAFL games and kicked four goals. A’COURT, FRED (West Adelaide): Fred A’Court was a stalwart of West Adelaide sides during the club’s nightmare decade of the 1950s, when four grand finals were contested without success, all against Port Adelaide. He commenced with West in 1949, and over the ensuing 11 seasons played a total of 159 league games and kicked 110 goals. In January 1954, A’Court applied for a clearance to VFL club Richmond, claiming that, if he made the move, he would be £15 a week better off financially, but West Adelaide refused the application and he continued to play for the Blood and Tars for the remainder of his career. A tough, tireless and talented ruckman, A’Court - popularly known as ‘Boof’ - represented South Australia eight times, kicking 10 goals. AAMODT, COLIN (North Adelaide): In a brainy display of football Aamodt showed all the fleetness of foot that enabled him to run a place in a Stawell Gift.

Being the football fans we are here at The Flag, we couldn’t let such a day go past without providing something of our own for it. So we have, with a 30-page booklet filled to the brim with all sorts of interesting, entertaining, yet ultimately frivolous statistics. We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you reading this for helping support us - if all goes well, we aim to do this for a career when we’re older, and knowing that our work is going out there and being praised really lifts our spirits. Hopefully you all enjoy the game and find something cool in here. -Nick/Claire Fredriksson theflagsports.wordpress.com on Twitter as @NickTheStatsGuy ​ Note: statistics based on the players involved in the match assume that there’s no change from the preliminary final squads, and so won’t include players added to the team.
