Ashburton Meats Under 11 Black Under 11 Black Coach: Matt Burns We have a very strong motto in the Ashy u11 blacks and that is GOOD TEAMS FIND A WAY, GOOD PLAYERS FIND A TEAM MATE but I think we may need to add a bit to that motto for wet days and that is "IN THE WET”. Because if you can find a way in the wet, you can find a way anywhere. Today we FOUND A WAY IN THE WET!! After a very slow start, the boys finally got out of their Pyjama's and turned up to play footy. There was some outstanding performances from our regulars but also the lift of all players right across the group has been amazing. We are continuing to focus on our "run on" style of footy and it was great to see that the boys were not afraid to try some flow on team passages of play in the trying the conditions. Once again , every player contributed and played a part in the great win against Banyule. Great captains game by Ned THE Chisel Chesler who continues to find the ball and our Opposition medal winner Oscar White just had a day out. We’ll continue to push that flow on style of footy and never forget what means the most to us and that is the love of the game and a great team.

Goal of the Day Plenty to choose from but Harry The Hyphens goal after such a hard fought game was hard to go past One in particular was Cappa grabbing the ball out of the centre and runs towards the goal. He props and kicks a short pass to Josh Webb who marks at centre half Play of the Day forward. Josh see’s Tommy leading out from the goal and hits Tommy on the chest. Tommy spins and sees Whitey leading out wide and slices a worm burner straight to Whitey who plays on and kicks straight to the front of the goals where Ronan was waiting with open hands and took a great overhead mark. NOW THAT’S FOOTY!!!!! Mark of the Day Ronans Over head mark in the last quarter that topped of a great team play Best Team Player Oscar White puts himself on the line every game for his team Deliver Colts Black Colts Black Coach: Matthew Blizzard The blacks walked out onto a great environment for playing football - Rain with a soft and muddy ground to face of with third on the ladder - Invanhoe. The contest was on from the first bounce, with what turned out to be - 2 very evenly sides hitting out. Only 6 goals scored in the game with Invanhoe just holding on to take a 2 point win. The win eluded us - however; the spirt of our endeavour and caricature in which this team played through to the final siren was fantastic to see and be apart of. Given that this is only the 3rd time this team has played together - they are improving week by week - and todays lesson in wet weather football was one well learned by all of us. Well done team - it was a great effort. We will have another chance at Invanhoe before the end of the season.

Chloe had her best game for a year with some great work in defence as Blacky's midfield kept pumping the ball into their forwardline. Pleasingly the girls fought it out until the final siren.

Play of the Day Respondent skipped this question Mark of the Day Steph a strong overhead mark in the backline Best Team Player Chloe - putting her body on the line to try and halt Blackburn's forward onslaught Under 8 White Under 8 White Coach: Tim Schleiger WINTER IS COMING! It was a grey and dreary morning at Ferrie oval against local rivals the Glen Iris Gladiators. Not long after the first bounce, the rains started and it was a mad dash by the spectators to secure some shelter under their trusty umbrellas. The conditions on field were slippery, but to their credit, the boys were still able to use the ball cleanly without many mishandles or mistakes. It was the boys first match on a "full sized oval". They demonstrated the value of perseverance and hard running over the slightly larger than normal distances. The final quarter in particular was a frenzy of goals shared by all the forwards who capitalised on some brilliant centre clearances. If only Goal Umpire Dee had as many at the opposition's end to show off her practiced and perfected flag waving skills. A well earned rest for the boys this weekend. Team Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Results No Results are recorded at this level Best Players Jamie Polson - medal recipient. He has improved out of sight and his tackling was consistently excellent. Goals Not recorded Goal of the Day Perpetual goal kicking sensation Jordan Katiforis was at it again! But his snap goal in the third quarter was the best of his bunch. Play of the Day Walter Adams stole the show with his trademark "selling candy" manoeuvre in the forward line. Mark of the Day Luke Suckling took a courageous mark in the backline; reversing into the pack. Best Team Player Joey Dee has improved lots and was really in amongst the play today. Well Done Joey POPE PACKAGING Under 9 Red Under 9 Red Coach: Matt Pietsch Shark Park lived up to its name with some big fish on the opposition keeping our boys under constant attack. The redbacks stuck together and focused on the message of hard ball gets, run & kick to space, stand tall on the mark, and looks for your team mates. Tom Verge started the game off with pivotal touches through the midfield, with Jackson coming of the bench early to give the team a boost and continued this on for the day, Tyson Fernee was rested in the first quarter but he hit the opposition hard when he came on the ground with some tough and goal saving tackles, Henry was marking well all day while Thomas Davies & Ollie Pietsch were tackling hard and given off effective possessions. Evan McVey was again busy racking up possessions across the ground while Jonty & Dozer eased their way into the game with a big last quarter efforts. Man of the match Bailey Currie worked hard to inspire the team with some hard ball gets and was well supported by Taylor Carlisle & Ben Jones. Emerging key forward Hugo Monkovitch was solid again all day and Josh Eardley & Josh McLoughlin persisted all day with some timely touches. Charlie Ryan & Ollie Grogan roved the packs well and brought their team mates into the game by hand and foot.

  • 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.

    E-Footy RECORD 17th May 2008 Issue 7 Editorial with Marty King AN HISTORIC AND BUSY TIME FOR EVERYONE IN QUEENSLAND FOOTBALL To say it has been a busy couple of weeks at AFL Queensland would be a massive understate- ment. It’s been quite extraordinary, and quite historic. First, I want to congratulate Tom McArthur on becoming the fi rst Queenslander inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Chosen in 2003 as the Umpire in the AFL Queensland Team of the Century, Tom did his State proud when he joined the likes of Kevin Sheedy and Alex Jesaulenko in the AFL spotlight in Melbourne last Thursday week. He spoke with great passion and love for Queensland football, and was a wonderful ambassador for our game. Second, I want to congratulate everyone involved with Community Football last weekend. It was a massive logistical exercise and yet it went off with barely a hitch, and was wonderfully well received by people at all levels of football. It was fantastic to see Queensland AFL players Courtenay Dempsey, Luke McGuane, Ricky Petterd and Ben Hudson fl y from Melbourne to Queensland to join the festivities, and the support we received from the entire Brisbane Lions playing list was fi rst-class. Thirdly, thanks to all who supported another successful Ladies Love AFL Lunch last Friday week at Royal on the Park. A great day was had by all. Special thanks to Lions players Simon Black, Daniel Merrett and Scott Clouston, VIP guests Sam Lukis, Melissa Lambert and Margo Bowers, and Channel 10 hosts Bill McDonald and Georgie Lewis.

It’s the date that we will launch the Queensland Australian Football Hall of Fame. We’re still to confi rm the venue but irrespective it will be a night not to be missed.

It will be set up on a similar basis to the Australian Football Hall of Fame run by the AFL, and will allow us to recognize not just players and coaches but also administrators, umpires, volun- teers, media representatives, clubs and special events.

    Automotive Holdings Group Limited 21 Old Aberdeen Place West Perth WA 6005 www.ahgir.com.au ABN 35 111 470 038 ASX/Media Statement AHG RENEWS PARTNERSHIP WITH MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB 29th November 2016 Automotive Holdings Group (ASX: AHG) has agreed to extend its sponsorship of the Melbourne Football Club in the AFL. While the terms of the partnership renewal are confidential, AHG Chief Executive Officer John McConnell said the sponsorship would be funded within existing marketing budgets. “AHG has been the Club’s major partner for the past three seasons and we are pleased to be able to continue the association,” said Mr McConnell. “Melbourne Football Club is an iconic brand across the nation. The partnership gives AHG’s automotive dealerships strong brand exposure and supports our position as Australia’s largest motoring group,” he said. “It is particularly effective in Victoria where we now hold 39 car and truck franchises at 22 dealerships.” Mr McConnell said the Club’s on‐field and off‐field performance were important factors in extending the partnership, along with the recognition gained from AHG’s support for the Freeze MND campaign led by former Melbourne coach Neale Daniher. “The AHG Walk to the ‘G has been an outstanding community initiative over the past two years and reflects our shared values,” said Mr McConnell. “The smooth transition from Paul Roos to Simon Goodwin as head coach and having Peter Jackson as CEO and Glen Bartlett as President gives us great confidence that we are working with a complementary leadership culture.” The Melbourne Football Club is the oldest professional football club in the world.

  • Week 1 E-Record.Indd
    E-Footy RECORD 29th - 30th March 2008 Issue 1 Editorial with Marty King Greetings and welcome to another exciting season of the Pineapple Hotel Cup. To newly ap- pointed club coaches and offi cials thanks for coming on board and good luck in the ever chal- lenging times at club land. After consultation with all stakeholders a number of changes have taken place in the off season which will hopefully promote autonomy and competition from within the competition. These changes include • Reverting to a “Final Five” format from the previous “Top Eight” system. This will cer- tainly make jockeying for fi nals contention more competitive and value add to away wins and percentage boosters • Moving to stand alone status for the Duncanson/Todd Medal Presentation. In 2008 due to the Queensland “Hall of Fame” format at this years Grogan Medal Night time restraints and individual status of awards means the splitting of the format which will be addressed again post event • A stand alone Pineapple Hotel Cup Grand Final for the fi rst time in the past three years. This will also result in the Preliminary and Grand Finals being played at the best avail- able neutral venue with the Reserves playing at the same venue as a Curtain Raiser • And of course this new format user friendly Football Record which will be available for clubs to download and print off and control distribution rather than incur costs and sometimes be unable to pick up records from AFLQ. Once again this will be trialled in 2008 and reviewed post season.

  • 2016 Yearbook
    2016 Yearbook President’s Report Dear players and families, I would like to thank all members for welcoming me during my second year as President, which is also my final year at the club. I have enjoyed it immensely, and it has given me the chance to meet many new fami- lies as well as get to know existing families better. I am extremely grateful to all of our coaching, committee and support staff we have at Ashy and cannot thank them enough for their tireless contribution. The way they juggle home life, work and still find extra hours for our club is amazing. Congratulations to our all of the teams that reached the finals this – Youth Girls, U15 Girls Red, U15 Girls Green, U13 Black and U12 Black. We brought home four premiership flags – what a season! Well done also to all of the Ashy players that received awards and nominations for the Yarra Presentations and to those selected to represent Yarra in the Metro Championships - it is a fabulous honour and you should all be as proud as we are. We must also applaud our 3 x U10 teams who took out the Lightning Premiership in Gold, Green and Red divisions! This year Ashy fielded 32 teams, including 3 girls teams. Last year we had only 1 girls’ team and next year, to show our support for womens’ footy, we’re hoping to increase our girls teams to 4 or 5. There’s no doubt that women’s footy is moving in the right direction. Other highlights of this season included our U8 & U9 Derby Under Lights, and a fantastic evening of young and old when the Colts & Youth girls came down to do a training session with the Auskickers.
