NSWAFL Annual Report CHAIRMANS REPORT During 1989 there was further consolidation of the role of the Commission and the structure of Australian Football in New South Wales. Although unfortunately losing the services of respected Commissioners, Rod Gillett and Ron Thomas during the year, I have been pleased to see the gap bridged by such capable people as ex South Australian Don Roach and new chum John Potter. The work of the Commission has again seen significant gains in the evolulion of our great game in New South Wales. Highlights of 1989 were many, including the marvellous result of the inaugural statewide Super Raffle, the fe-involvement of our Senior State players who competed in the NSW side in Tasmania, the fourth placing of our Teal Cup boys in Melbourne and the establishment of umpiring as an equal priority within the code with an ongoing role of a full time State Director of Umpiring. The first year, of what is hoped to be a long and mutually beneficial relationship, with our major sponsor QBE Insurance, has been most exciting. I feel bonds have been established far beyond those experienced by other sporting bodies and their sponsors and I thank all at QBE for their enthusiastic involvement and assistance. The work of the staff has again been most diligent with greater stability resulting in a better understanding and servicing of football throughout the State. Well done people. The Victorian Football League are to be praised for their ongoing committment to the growth and nurturing of Australian Football around the nation, and in particular for contributing funds to assist New South Wales development. Our thanks are extended to Alan Schwab, Greg Durham and Kevin Sheehan for their invaluable assistance. The NSWAFL's relationship with the NSW State Government has continued to blossom.' I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those within the Department of Sport, Recreation and Racing for their enthusiastic support of our code and for making time available to assist in our search for a headquarters and administration base, as well as for financial assistance, we are most grateful. I look forward to the new decade.with great enthusiasm and optimism. A greater committment to development in the country areas af the State, the opportunity for Leagues in the South to be a part of the NSWAFL, greater responsibility on Coaches throughout NSW to become accredited and serve their charges better and generally a feeling that all are now forming ever closer together to take our wonderful game to even greater heights as we rapidly approach a new century.

I have been particularly pleased from an organisational aspect with the activities of your Junior Council, of the Executive Committee and of the various Junior councils - within the State. The camps for both Under 17's and Under 15's, the selection process and J the Championships were all excellent and whilst our results for Under 17's were not what we would have wished, the Under 15's really did produce some great football. I have no doubt we will be seeing more of many of those players in future senior football. My biggest disappointment over the past two years has been that the overall administration of the game in NSW has left a lot to be desired - the NSW AFL has not operated efficiently and no leadership or guidance .

  • 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.
