Carlton 5 3 2 0 581 457 127.1 12 Whether this criticism is warranted or not is Western Bulldogs 5 3 2 0 520 471 110.4 12 open to debate however there is no doubt AFL Sydney is definitely on the improve. Port Adelaide 5 3 2 0 480 468 102.6 12 Essendon 5 3 2 0 441 447 98.7 12 What cannot be debated however is that one area AFL Sydney struggle to match their more fancied State Adelaide 5 3 2 0 400 435 92.0 12 Leagues is in terms of finances, with all clubs struggling to find sponsors in a tough and competitive environ- ment, that being Sydney.

It is rumoured that West Coast 5 2 3 0 442 488 91.6 8 a club not that far down the highway receives an annual grant of $750K from their Licensed club. North Melbourne 5 2 3 0 362 421 86.0 8 With the lack of funds available, the ability of the clubs to go and chase high profile former AFL players and the Brisbane 5 2 3 0 401 488 82.2 8 like is not possible, however we are lucky that 2009 has seen a significant number of talented players move to Richmond LADDER AFL 5 1 4 0 402 523 76.7 4 Sydney from Interstate for a variety of reasons. The introduction of these players lifts the standard and also the Melbourne 5 1 4 0 355 508 69.9 4 profile. Fremantle 5 1 4 0 394 581 67.8 4 A major factor for the improvement of AFL Sydney footy is the number of talented young local players who a making the jump from junior football into the senior ranks. This is a credit to the Greater Sydney Junior clubs St Kilda 15.12.102 def.

    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.

It seems like only yesterday that we conducted our Tasmanian Team of the Century dinner in 2004, followed by our inaugural Hall of Fame induction dinner in 2005. This is just another example of how quickly a decade passes by when you work in an industry as dynamic as Australian Football. Over this decade 277 individuals have entered our Hall of Fame ‘club’ as inductees. We have elevated 40 of these men to Legend status and further elevated just 14 to become Icons of Tasmanian Football. To be one of just 14 Icons to have been identified in over 149 years of the game being played in Tasmania is very special indeed.
