  • 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.

  • Analysis of Australian Rules Football Premierships
    Analysis of Australian Rules Football Premierships By Tristan Barnett In team sports such as Australian Rules Football the number of premierships won over a period of time relative to the other teams is arguably the best indicator of a club’s performance. This requires cooperation amongst team players but most importantly responsible management of the club from the President, CEO, coaches, scientists and also industry partners (if they exist). In 1986 the Australian Football League (governing body of Australian Rules Football and responsible for controlling the laws of the game) introduced draft picks in 1986 to enable teams that scored poorly at the end of a season to have priority in introducing new players the following year to their club, and hence establish a “fair” process in balancing the number of premierships that clubs could win. For example, the team that was bottom of the table at the end of a year would have first priority pick of a player to that club. There has been much controversy within clubs, in particular the Western Bulldogs with the sacking of Jason Ackermanis in 2010, despite Ackermanis being a Brownlow Medallist in 2001 and winning three premierships with the Brisbane Lions 2001-2003, Brisbane Lions leading goal kicker in 2004, Western Bulldogs leading goal kicker in 2009 and inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2015 amongst other great achievements. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/trust-issues-bulldogs-sack-jason-akermanis- 20100721-10kqu.html Victoria University, Melbourne have been associated with the Western Bulldogs Football Club since the 1980’s and are currently one of their major partners.

Frooman’s (1999) typology of stakeholder influence strategies is used to analyse the negotiation of resource relationships between a Gold Coast franchise bid team and its key stakeholders. Primary data came from 12 interviews with nine key actors in the bid process; these were buttressed by secondary data. Frooman’s typology provided a useful heuristic, but did not fully account for the critical role of firm legitimacy in stakeholders’ choice of influence strategies.

  • The Economic Development of the Australian Football League
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Monash University Research Repository THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE ROSS BOOTH DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS MONASH UNIVERSITY CLAYTON, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, 3800 Ph: +61 3 99052434 Fax: +61 3 99055476 Email: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT This paper begins with a brief review of the evolution of the unique brand of Australian football and the development of a fully-professional and national Australian Football League (AFL) comprising 16 clubs from the Victorian Football League (VFL) formed in 1897. Analysis of clubs’ finances and stated objectives suggest that AFL clubs are win-maximisers (subject to breaking even financially) rather than profit maximisers. The win-maximising objective stems from the nature of club ownership. Of the 16 clubs, ten are owned by their members, one is shareholder-owned, four are owned by their respective state football Commissions and one licence is held by the AFL. The objectives of the league and the changes in its governance are also discussed. The history of labour market devices and revenue sharing rules the VFL/AFL has used to try to increase competitive balance is outlined. Six different periods between 1897 and 2003 are identified and the different levels of competitive balance are calculated for each year and then matched against the devices and rules used in each period. It is suggested that the high levels of competitive balance achieved in the VFL/AFL in the most 2 recent period could well be the result of the introduction of both a national player draft and team salary cap.

  • Comparing Competitive Balance in Australian Sports Leagues
    Sport Management Review, 2005, 8, 119–143 © 2005 SMAANZ Comparing CompetitiveCompetitive Balance in AustralianAustralian Sports Leagues: Does a Salary Cap and PlayerPlayer Draft Measure Up? Ross Booth Monash University In the period following the introduction by the Australian Football League (AFL) of the team salary cap in 1985 and the player draft at the end of 1986, within-season competitive balance (measured by the seasonal distribution of team win percentages) has increased. This paper continues the investigation into whether the improvement in competitive balance in the AFL can be attributed to these labour market changes by examining competitive balance outcomes and labour market changes in two other Australian sports leagues, the National Basketball League (NBL) and the National Rugby League (NRL). The measurement of competitive balance in this paper is extended to include a simple measure of between- season competitive balance, namely the distribution of championships/ premierships amongst teams/clubs. The evidence suggests that since 1985 within-season competitive balance, as measured by actual standard deviation/idealised standard deviation (ASD/ISD) ratios, has increased slightly in all three leagues. The NRL has been the most balanced and the NBL the least balanced, both pre- and post-1985. The distribution of championships/premierships is, in general, also more even in the post- 1985 period in all three leagues. The most signifi cant labour market change in both the NBL and the NRL post-1985 is their adoption of a team salary cap. Thus, the evidence on competitive balance is consistent with the view that the introduction of a team salary cap in all three leagues has improved competitive balance since 1985.
