CARLTON Carlton had been a powerhouse team of the 1980s and was still a strong eal outfi t. The biggest match-up of the day was key forward Tony Lockett against highly-rated defender Stephen Silvagni. Lockett had an absolute day out with nine goals to his name late in the game. But his biggest moment came in the fi nal minute when he took a mark on the boundary line and calmly slotted his 10th goal to give the Saints a four-point win. St Kilda fans who had spent years watching their team regularly lose to Carlton may have felt a bit of revenge in 2004 when they handed them a 108-point thumping. The Saints score of 31.10 (196) remains the highest score ever conceded by the Blues. Fraser Gehrig kicked nine goals, Stephen Milne kicked six and Lenny Hayes had 37 touches in a truly dominant performance.

    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.

    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.

The Australian Fo otball League {AFL), inresponse to public pressure, releaseda new finals system to replace the Mcintyre Final Eight system. Deipite a general acceptance of the system by the football clubs, a thorough statistical examination of this system is yet to be undertaken. It is the aim of this paper to examine the new system and to compare it to the previous Mcintyre Final Eight system. In 1931, the "Page Final Fo ur" system was put into place for the AFL finals. As the number of teams in the competition grew, so to did the number of finalists. The "Mcintyre Final Five" was introduced in 1972, and a system involving six teams was in place in 1991.

    Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week

    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.
