  • One of the Boys: the (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career
    One of the Boys: The (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career Ms. Kasey Symons PhD Candidate 2019 The Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC), Victoria University, Australia. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract: This PhD via creative work comprises an exegesis (30%) and accompanying novel, Fan Fatale (70%), which seek to contribute a creative and considered representation of some women who are fans of elite male sports, Australian Rules football in particular. Fictional representations of Australian Rules football are rare. At the time of submission of this thesis, only three such works were found that are written by women aimed to an older readership. This project adds to this underrepresented space for women writing on, and contributing their experiences to, the culture of men’s football. The exegesis and novel creatively addresses the research question of how female fans relate to other women in the sports fan space through concepts of gender bias, performance, and social surveillance. Applying the lens of autoethnography as the primary methodology to examine these notions further allows a deeper, reflexive engagement with the research, to explore how damaging these performances can be for the relationships women can have to other women. In producing this exegesis and accompanying novel, this PhD thesis contributes a new and creative way to explore the gendered complications that surround the sports fan space for women. My novel, Fan Fatale, provides a narrative which raises questions about the complicit positions women can sometimes occupy in the name of fandom and conformity to expected gendered norms.

    KENMORE JUNIOR AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL CLUB SEASON REPORT 2015 THE MIGHTY KENMORE BEARS KENMORE BEARS AFL 2015 SEASON REPORT Another successful year both on and off the field for the mighty bears. We fielded 17 teams this season: - 2 x Under 6 - 5 x Under 8 - 2 x Under 9 - 2 x Under 10 - Under 11 - Under 12 - Under 13 - Under 14 - Under 15/16 - Under 17 The Under 14 (Jindalee), 15/16 (Wests Juniors) and 17’s (Jindalee) teams were combined sides. This enabled our players to continue to play with their mates while also making new friends, all three were hugely successful. The Under 12’s and Under 14’s played their grand final yesterday, we are hoping for two flags. A huge thank you to all Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Managers and parents/siblings that help out on game day. Without you volunteering we could not play games. I would also like to thank our 3 umpires, Mitch Lake, Max Chambers and Aaron Luhrs, along with Keely Luhrs for the fantastic Friday night food. As I travel to most clubs it was interesting to hear positive feedback on Friday food from all opposition clubs. Next year we are planning on fielding teams in all age groups, under 6 to 17 again plus all girls’ teams in under 11, 13 and 15. Make sure you keep looking at our Facebook and web site for updates in the off season. Off the field we got a new grandstand, play-ground and shed continuing the great work of the committee. KENMORE AUSKICK & U6 It’s been a long year for some of the youngest members of our club starting way back in early March with AFL Auskick.

Danforth,1,§ and Peter Sheridan Dodds1, 1Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Vermont Complex Systems Center, Computational Story Lab, & Vermont Advanced Computing Core, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont 05401, USA 2School of Mathematical Sciences, North Terrace Campus, University of Adelaide, SA 5005, Australia (Received 25 June 2015; revised manuscript received 16 March 2016; published 27 May 2016) Sports are spontaneous generators of stories. Through skill and chance, the script of each game is dynamically written in real time by players acting out possible trajectories allowed by a sport’s rules. By properly characterizing a given sport’s ecology of “game stories,” we are able to capture the sport’s capacity for unfolding interesting narratives, in part by contrasting them with random walks. Here we explore the game story space afforded by a data set of 1310 Australian Football League (AFL) score lines. We find that AFL games exhibit a continuous spectrum of stories rather than distinct clusters. We show how coarse graining reveals identifiable motifs ranging from last-minute comeback wins to one-sided blowouts. Through an extensive comparison with biased random walks, we show that real AFL games deliver a broader array of motifs than null models, and we provide consequent insights into the narrative appeal of real games.

  • A'court, BILL (West Adelaide)
    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.

  • Indigenous AFL Players
    'Magicians', 'freaks' and 'marvels': how the media 'Others' Indigenous AFL players. Assessment Item 3: Research Project Tom Smith 10877177 Question How does the media 'Other' Indigenous AFL players? Abstract Although overt racism has been virtually eradicated from the AFL, the media's depiction of Indigenous players covertly reinforces negative racial stereotypes. A content analysis of the round eight game between Hawthorn and Fremantle on May 19 2012 reveals a demonstrable difference in the way Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal footballers are portrayed by television, radio and newspaper commentators. This match is typical of the broader regime of representation of Indigenous players, which emphasises natural ability, physical superiority, instinct and 'magic' rather than mental discipline or cognitive skills. These imagined values simultaneously idolise the Aboriginal body and infantilise the Aboriginal mind, with the overall effect of 'spectacularising' the Aboriginal AFL player. With several Indigenous identities recently criticising this 'common sense' stereotype, this article investigates how existing representational practices 'Other' Indigenous AFL players and entrench the dominant racial hegemony. Key terms AFL, Indigenous Australia, media, stereotypes, racism. Introduction Since the likes of Graham 'Polly' Farmer, Barry Cable and Maurice Rioli blazed the trail for Indigenous involvement in the Victorian Football League - now the Australian Football League (AFL) - in the 1960s and '70s, the relationship between Aboriginal players
