    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

  • The Foreign Minister Who Never Was
    The foreign minister who never was BY:DENNIS SHANAHAN, POLITICAL EDITOR The Australian March 02, 2012 12:00AM Cartoon by Peter Nicholson. Source: The Australian JULIA Gillard's ability to turn good news - a brilliant political strategy, a poignant moment, or an opportunity to become strong, credible and assertive - into bad news and dumb politics appears to be boundless. And, when the Prime Minister has a brain snap, makes an error of judgment or gets into trouble for a reflexive and ill-considered denial the finger is pointed towards staff, speech writers, the hate media, Tony Abbott, or most of all, Kevin Rudd. The mistakes she's admitted are those where she neglected to publicly apportion blame to Rudd as a dysfunctional, pathological leader, and this being the reason for her taking over as prime minister in June 2010. On Monday morning, after three politically debilitating months of unforced errors, media disasters and a destabilising campaign to gather support for a Rudd leadership challenge, Gillard was finally in the clear. After a brilliant political strategy to force Rudd's hand early, at least two weeks before he was prepared to go, Gillard was able to crush him in the Labor caucus ballot 71 to 31 votes. Although there was a strong element of voting against Rudd rather than for Gillard in the ballot, it saw off Rudd's chances for this parliamentary term at least and gave Labor a chance to regather its thoughts and try to redeem a seemingly hopeless position. Gillard set out her intentions, addressing the public: "I can assure you that this political drama is over and now you are back at centre stage where you should properly be and you will be the focus of all of our efforts." On the issue of reshuffling her ministry and whether she would be punishing Rudd supporters, Gillard declared: "My focus will be on having a team based on merit and the ability to take the fight up on behalf of Labor to our conservative opponents.

  • An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria
    LOUCA.qxd 15/1/2001 3:19 ìì Page 115 Louca, Procopis 2003. An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria. In E. Close, M. Tsianikas and G. Frazis (Eds.) “Greek Research in Australia: Proceedings of the Fourth Biennial Conference of Greek Studies, Flinders University, September 2001”. Flinders University Department of Languages – Modern Greek: Adelaide, 115-132. An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria Procopis Louca Victoria, the second most populated State in Australia, is widely claimed to include as its capital the third largest Grecophone city in the world, after Athens and Thessaloniki. The Victorian State Parliament has more members of Greek and Cypriot (Hellenic) background, than any other jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Australia. Continuing a series of analyses of the role of elected State and Federal representatives of Hellenic descent in Australia (Louca, 2001), this paper will focus on the Victorian State Parliament, but with reference also to current and former Victorian Federal parliamentarians. There is an exploration of the cultural, political, social and personal influ- ences that guided these individuals to seek election to Parliament and their experiences as politicians with a Hellenic background. As at the beginning of 2002, six sitting members in the Victorian Parliament have a Hellenic background. Four represent the Australian Labor Party (ALP), two the Liberal Party. They are: Alex Andrianopoulos ALP Peter Katsambanis Liberal Nicholas Kotsiras Liberal Jenny Mikakos ALP John Pandazopoulos ALP Theo Theophanous ALP In addition to these current members, there are also two others who have re- tired from Parliament, or are deceased, Theo Sidiropoulos ALP (deceased) 115 Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au LOUCA.qxd 15/1/2001 3:19 ìì Page 116 PROCOPIS LOUCA and Dimitri Dollis ALP (retired).

  • Afl Queensland
    PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP E-FOOTY RECORD ROUND 12 E-Footy RECORD 28th June 2008 Issue 12 Editorial with Marty King AFL QUEENSLAND: STRICT ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON RACIAL VILIFICATION It disappoints me to have to remind people that the AFL and AFL Queensland has a strict zero tolerance policy on racial vilifi cation. There have been a couple of unsavoury incidents lately, spread across the fi rst and second divisions of the State League competition, which are simply unacceptable. Under no circumstances will this sort of behavior be tolerated because there is no place for this sort of thing in our game, and AFL Queensland will do whatever it takes to ensure that the perpetrators are suitably reprimanded. This is a cornerstone of what State League football is all about. It is a family-oriented competition which should operate in an environment of respect and responsibility. AFLQ is no different to the AFL, which prides itself on setting behavioural standards that are benchmarks for the general society. It is why the AFL implements and takes very seriously things like the Code of Conduct, and general standards that relate to racial and religious vilifi cation and responsible consumption of alcohol. It is imperative that these values are upheld right across the competition, and so I appeal to all involved with AFL Queensland to do the right thing and to speak up if you are witnesses to inappropriate behavior. The overwhelming majority of people do the right thing all the time. They come to the football with their family or friends, they enjoy the contest and the atmosphere, they barrack for their team in good-natured fun, and they conduct themselves appropriately.

    E-Footy RECORD 17th May 2008 Issue 7 Editorial with Marty King AN HISTORIC AND BUSY TIME FOR EVERYONE IN QUEENSLAND FOOTBALL To say it has been a busy couple of weeks at AFL Queensland would be a massive understate- ment. It’s been quite extraordinary, and quite historic. First, I want to congratulate Tom McArthur on becoming the fi rst Queenslander inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Chosen in 2003 as the Umpire in the AFL Queensland Team of the Century, Tom did his State proud when he joined the likes of Kevin Sheedy and Alex Jesaulenko in the AFL spotlight in Melbourne last Thursday week. He spoke with great passion and love for Queensland football, and was a wonderful ambassador for our game. Second, I want to congratulate everyone involved with Community Football last weekend. It was a massive logistical exercise and yet it went off with barely a hitch, and was wonderfully well received by people at all levels of football. It was fantastic to see Queensland AFL players Courtenay Dempsey, Luke McGuane, Ricky Petterd and Ben Hudson fl y from Melbourne to Queensland to join the festivities, and the support we received from the entire Brisbane Lions playing list was fi rst-class. Thirdly, thanks to all who supported another successful Ladies Love AFL Lunch last Friday week at Royal on the Park. A great day was had by all. Special thanks to Lions players Simon Black, Daniel Merrett and Scott Clouston, VIP guests Sam Lukis, Melissa Lambert and Margo Bowers, and Channel 10 hosts Bill McDonald and Georgie Lewis.

The formation of the club has been a long journey and is the result of a culmination of the joining and restructuring of identities of many former clubs – Windsor, Zillmere, Windsor Zillmere and North Brisbane. The Eagles have operated successfully as a football club in Brisbane for over 80 years however, and are one of the most widely recognised Queensland based clubs for continued success and ability to produce players at both State and AFL level. This journey of the ‘Mighty Eagles’ began way back in 1922 when the Windsor Football Club formed and played in its first year of senior footy in 1924 at Windsor Park.

  • The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview
    The Goalpost Padding presents: The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview After a long season of football, everything is set to be decided at the MCG, when the West Coast Eagles and the Collingwood Magpies face off for the chance to immortalise themselves in the history books, and win themselves the ultimate glory. Being the football fans we are here at The Flag, we couldn’t let such a day go past without providing something of our own for it. So we have, with a 30-page booklet filled to the brim with all sorts of interesting, entertaining, yet ultimately frivolous statistics. We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you reading this for helping support us - if all goes well, we aim to do this for a career when we’re older, and knowing that our work is going out there and being praised really lifts our spirits. Hopefully you all enjoy the game and find something cool in here. -Nick/Claire Fredriksson theflagsports.wordpress.com on Twitter as @NickTheStatsGuy ​ Note: statistics based on the players involved in the match assume that there’s no change from the preliminary final squads, and so won’t include players added to the team.

  • ACT UNDER 23'S V UWS GIANTS Jason Akermanis
    Welcome to edition 5 of 2012 of the Tuggeranong Hawks Football Club Newsletter “Hawk Talk” which is produced periodically throughout the season to advise all members and supporters of current club news and events. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ACT UNDER 23’s v UWS GIANTS The ACT side will be entirely comprised of NEAFL Eastern Conference players from the Canberra region. The ACT’s best under-23 players will take on the UWS Giants at Manuka oval this Saturday including Tuggeranong Hawk’s players Ben Cleaver, David Smith, James McCabe and Chris Robinson. The game, which is the curtain raiser to the GWS Giants NAB challenge fixture, will give the Canberra contingent of NEAFL players the chance to impress in the second installment of this annual representative game. The first game, which was played at Ainslie oval in 2011, was a tightly fought contest which the ACT won by twelve points. All of the five Canberra NEAFL teams are represented in the 24 man squad, with Queanbeyan and Eastlake both having six players, Ainslie with five, Tuggeranong four and Belconnen three. The ACT side will have their share of AFL experience with former Sydney Swan Aaron Bruce as well as Kaine Stevens and Marcus Crook who both played with GWS in 2010 in the TAC cup and 2011 in the NAB cup respectively. The game serves as a great opportunity for the NEAFL players to impress prospective AFL clubs with club recruiters expressing interest in the game due to the high standard of the first representative match. The game starts at 8:45, so do not miss the chance to see the best young football talent the ACT has to offer.
