  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.

  • The Use of Salary Caps in Professional Team Sports and the Restraint of Trade Doctrine
    The Use of Salary Caps in Professional Team Sports and the Restraint of Trade Doctrine Chris Davies' A salary cap system is presently used by both the AFL and NRL with the stated objective of creating a more even competition. Although the salary cap can be viewed as creating a situation where players are being deliberately underpaid, the author argues that there is overall benefit, even to the players, in having a salary cap in operation. Such benefit includes a more even competition, which then provides for a more stable financial situation for the league and the players, and a more interesting competition for the spectators. The author therefore argues that, after applying the Nordenfelt test, salary caps in professional team sports do represent a reasonable restraint of trade. It is also suggested that the principles of contract law play an important role in protecting the rights of the players. Introduction The salary caps implemented by both the Australian Football League (AFL) and the National Rugby League (NRL) were the subject of much publicity during the later half of 2002 when systematic breaches of the system were uncovered in both codes. Large fines and the loss of either draft selections or competition points were the harsh penalties that were subsequently handed out by the respective governing bodies. What has also made headlines in the AFL has been the number of clubs who hav~been forced to trade big name players in the last few years, including players still under contract, in order to remain under the salary cap. I Other players meanwhile agreed to take pay cuts from their existing contracts to help ensure their club remained within the salary cap.2 A question then arises as to whether this forced trading of players and the taking of pay cuts means that a salary cap system represents an unreasonable restraint of trade.
