PICTURE: MICHAEL KLEIN HERALD SUN THERE have been at least two times in David Armitage's career when he could have been forgiven for taking the easy option of bailing out. The first came at age 16 when he was living in Brisbane, nearly 1000km ADVERTISEMENT away from his home town of Mackay in North Queensland, trying to get a kick for QAFL team Morningside in an attempt to attract interest from AFL clubs. The lure of home was strong, but the lure of a potential professional footy career was stronger. He stayed. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/david-armitage-rewarded-for-staying-power/story-e6frf9jf-1226377796253[1/06/2012 11:59:01 AM] David Armitage rewarded for staying power | Herald Sun The second came in his early 20s when he was frustrated by a lack of opportunities in St Kilda's senior side. For all he knew there could have been other offers on the table, but there was only one team he wanted to play for. SUPERCOACH LOGIN He stayed.

Saints coach Scott Watters is even using words such as "barometer" to describe the 23-year-old's influence on the team. But just how different could things have been? AUSTRALIAN RULES MACKAY is not your typical AFL town. In fact, the only reason Armitage picked up a Sherrin in rugby league heartland was because his dad, Greg, was an avid Aussie rules fan from Tasmania. St Kilda Saints v Richmond Tigers Winner The town had never produced an AFL player, and it was never going to St Kilda Saints $1.85 unless Armitage made the move south to further his career. Richmond Tigers $2.00 Knowing that you're good enough to play, but just not Draw $51.00 having“ that confidence and not playing well week to week, that's a downer” So on the advice of Mark Browning, a junior development officer for AFL Queensland, Armitage packed his bags, leaving his dad, mum Annette, elder brother Dylan and younger sister Sarah behind. "It was a pretty hard decision - I had to go home and talk to my dad and sum it all up and we decided that if I want to go somewhere with this then the best thing to do would be to move down to Brisbane," Armitage said this week. "My mates sort of said to me, 'We'll see you back here in two or three weeks'. They didn't think I'd stay down there." Armitage admits he got a "little bit" homesick. "First off I did. I'm a bit of a mamma's boy," he said. "I missed Mum and Dad dearly, and also my friends, but I just stuck at it. "They had a great culture at Morningside. I got on really well with all the older blokes, but I was also there with Gavin Urquhart (now North Melbourne), Courtenay Dempsey (Essendon) and Lee Spurr (Fremantle). "It sort of went from, in my first year, 'You're a chance to get drafted', to, in my second year, 'You're a massive chance to go in the first round', which I still didn't really believe."

    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.
