LISTON TROPHY PREVIEW J.J. LISTON Trophy Preview The J.J. Liston Trophy awards night will take place on Monday night. IDENTIFYING the winner of this year’s J.J. Liston Trophy winner is no easy task. Not that it ever is, but some seasons it is a whole lot easier when a player like Hawthorn champion Sam Mitchell stands out. For those who can’t remember Mitchell playing for Box Hill Hawks – he polled 31 votes from 11 games. And, 10 best-on-ground games and one single vote will win the Liston every time. No player has some close to Mitchell’s domination in 2002. The highest Liston vote poller since Mitchell was in 2011 when Shane Valenti won the second of his Liston’s with 25 votes. Mitchell’s 31 votes is the most votes record since the VFL was revamped in 2000. Werribee’s Michael Frost holds the modern era record with 32 votes, but it should be Baird’s teammate Chris Cain is another who is likely to remembered that Mitchell only played 11 games. attract votes Yes, that’s right he polled a vote, virtually exclusively Northern Blues’ David Ellard featured in the top 10 on threes in each game he played. the Liston leader board last year after only playing eight Back to season 2013.

    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WAFL $3.00 ROUND 8 SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 When Matt Riggio runs out for his 200th WAFL game this weekend, he will solidify himself as one of the greats of Swan Districts Football Club. A quiet achiever that gets the job done, the skipper of the Swans will become just the 20th player in the club’s illustrious history to reach the coveted milestone. Riggio began his WAFL journey at Peel Thunder with one game, before being selected by North Melbourne at Pick 28 in the 2005 AFL National Draft. After playing 10 AFL games in three seasons before being delisted by North Melbourne in 2009, Riggio returned to Western Australia and joined the Swan Districts Football Club at the peak of their powers. One year in, Riggio reached the ultimate goal, a Premiership. Alongside the likes of Andrew Krakouer, Stephen Coniglio and Ashley Hansen, Riggio lived out the boyhood dream of claiming a Premiership Medal. The game is remembered as one of the greatest WAFL Grand Finals of all-time, with Krakouer kicking a late goal to seal the Premiership by 1 point. Riggio never looked back from 2010, becoming a stalwart of the black and white army, claiming back-to- back Best & Fairest awards in 2015 and 2016. “To win the Club Best & Fairest in 2015 and again the next season is something I will hold dear to my heart,” Riggio told swandistrictsfc.com.au u Matt Riggio earlier this season.

  • 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.

  • The International World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions
    Bond Law Review Volume 23 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Chris Davies Follow this and additional works at: http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr This Article is brought to you by the Faculty of Law at ePublications@bond. It has been accepted for inclusion in Bond Law Review by an authorized administrator of ePublications@bond. For more information, please contact Bond University's Repository Coordinator. The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Abstract The recent terminations of the contracts of NRL player, Joel Monaghan and the AFL’s Brendan Fevola, for off-field indiscretions, has highlighted the significance of the bringing the game into disrepute clauses contained in standard player contracts. Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs received extensive world wide media attention, and the outcome of this negative coverage was the loss of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. This indicates that such contracts can be terminated on the basis that a sportsperson’s behaviour was having a negative impact on the sponsor’s image. It is for the same reason that sponsors have put pressure on the governing bodies of team sports to take appropriate action for off-field indiscretions. The Court of Arbitration in D’Arcy v Australian Olympic Committee, has also held that a competitor’s behaviour in an incident where criminal charges were laid, may, in itself be sufficient to bring a sport, or themselves, into disrepute, regardless of whether the competitor is later found guilty or innocent.
