  • 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.

The netball and football recruiting groups have been proactive, bringing new faces into the club to ensure all our teams, netball & football, junior & senior, are ready to go for round 1! Developing our coaching staff is part of the clubs strategic plan, and having experi- enced people come and run courses, share their training concepts and mingle with our community.

  • 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.
