Each year we take this opportunity to acknowledge just a few of the season’s highlights: – highlights such as Veda Ingram & Reed Maskell-Dobbyn, as weekly winners of Auskicker of the Year being involved in the AFL Grand Final Day celebrations. This included playing in an Auskick game on the MCG, at half time of the AFL Grand Final and then getting to present Premiership medals the Premiership players. May you remember this for ever! To continue the Sunshine Coast theme on AFL Grand Final day, congratulations to the two Under 16 players, Sam Panaho from Caloundra and Aaron Laskey from Noosa – both made significant contributions to Queensland winning the National Championships. Aaron backed this up by being one of only 11 or 12 recipients nationally for a ‘Mike Fitzpatrick Scholarship’. Each year we acknowledge the work of our many volunteers who make our game possible. A few committed individuals were presented awards for their special contribution to the AFL Sunshine Coast Juniors, with Jason Bromilow winning the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award. While Jason may be involved in many aspects of our game, at Gympie there was one particular highlight, in which Jason played a big part. This year saw the commencement of the Gympie Cool Cats – a club-based competition for Under 8s & 10s. So successful was this concept, in their first year Gympie had over 70 registered 8s & 10s players! Well done to all involved. May the Cool Cats go well in 2010! On field, on that first Sunday in September, we had 7 of our 9 clubs competing in Grand Finals – while we continue to celebrate Premiership success (and participation) we constantly reinforce that our game is not solely about winning Grand Finals. Our national game offers all involved so much more through development of skills, team participation, dedication and the enjoyment of the sport. Our overall participation numbers this year have reached a new milestone – as we exceeded 1300 registered players on the Sunshine Coast for the first time. Building on the foundations of all the work done by those who’ve gone before us, our competition continues to grow. For the first time, in 2009 we introduced a Division 3 pool of teams in the Under 12s, who played more for the thrill of participation than for Premiership points. Judging by the end-of- year carnival, held to celebrate each of the teams’ and their players’ involvement this Division has been a success and will be repeated in 2010. Paul & Casey have been fantastic (again) in 2009. Their dedication to the competition far exceeds what their job descriptions may call for and our game would be ever the poorer without their professional, untiring commitment. Thanks to you both, Casey & Paul. The 2009 Management Committee – Chris Hunt, Kent Weightman, David Ward, Graham Fraser & Anthony Neck have again brought their broad range of knowledge and skill to the process of managing our competition. It is a task each of you has embraced and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you. Particular thanks to Sean McCabe who has retired from MC duties after an involvement over the past three seasons. Being new to the role of MC President in 2009 there has been much to learn – this education has not been without challenge, however it has been an enjoyable year, made possible by the support of so many others – so, thanks again – see you around the grounds. Yours in Australian Football Joe Brennan President AFL Sunshine Coast Juniors 2 3 Maroochy RSL Club AFL Sunshine Coast Juniors 2009 “The season that was” Season 2009 presented many challenges to the Leagues Management Committee, hopefully most ticked off with a high level of support and acceptance from our clubs. It has been a past twelve months where we have had to work hard on the sponsorship front, team grading and structures, codes of conduct, facility usage/management, umpiring development and much more. All in all we again experienced positive growth and in the main the reason we are all here, “the kids”, their smiles delivered on most occasions gave us the appearance that all looked to enjoy having a kick and catch with their mates. The game development programs that support our junior competition, Auskick, school clinics and programs and school footy all pointed to an ever increasing number of juniors taking opportunity to participate and enjoy AFL. Again we all need to work hard to translate these school based participants into club numbers. The Leagues Management Committee is charged with making the big decisions regarding club footy and at times not all decisions are popular but are made in the best interests of the game as a whole across the Sunshine Coast. Much fact finding and subsequent discussion, sometimes debate goes into making a team decision that then needs to be administered. Clubs through their Presidents and League Delegates get opportunity to offer quality opinion to this decision making process and our annual league conference provides opportunity for all to drill down on a subject to a level that provides change through agreement. In 2009 the League had new leadership through Joe Brennan following the retirement of past President and League Life Member Adam Croxton. I congratulate Joe on his commitment to the task, no subject was too great and he continually made himself available to club leadership to debate topics and work in a common direction. Joe received solid support from Chris Hunt, Sean McCabe, Kent Weightman, Graham Fraser, David Ward and Anthony Neck. Tonight at our League AGM we see opportunity for our affiliate clubs to put the 2010 Management Committee in place that will provide direction to the League in accordance with its charter over the coming 12 months. The League is also most grateful to our Administration Assistant Casey Cubis for her fine contribution to the operation of our organisation. Casey has a many and varied role that over the course of the footy season and sometimes out of that season impacts on her work hours this she just does for the good of our junior footy – thanks Casey. Annually at the Leagues Presentation Night we highlight the positive achievements both in dividual and group that have over the past 12 months made things tick. Part of this process is to recognise the AFL Sunshine Coast Juniors “Club of the Year”; this award recognises a clubs all round performance off and around ground. The club that within its community works most diligently to present a positive environment for all concerned mindful of striving to work on areas of its operation that had previous short comings. In season 2009 the club that best displayed a willingness to counter these short comings whilst setting a positive community feel was the Pomona Demons . Late 2008 the club(s) senior and junior saw a need to become one and work more in unison for the common good of AFL in the Pomona district. Drew Meloni took the chair supported the juniors dragging his seniors to some suitable middle ground, senior players and officials supported the juniors whilst Julie Daddow, Jessica and Wayne Mahony worked feverishly from the junior end but had one eye on the big picture; the growth and pathway offered by the “Demon”. 3 4 Although not fielding a 16’s team in their own right in 2009, the club worked hard on growing junior player numbers at the lower end with the “LMPers” and 12’s winners. Auskick went to the Demons Den in March and the doors were knocked down with 75 participants – fantastic, from this the club recruited well and filled teams that preseason looked shaky in the three lowest age groups. This Auskick group was also the subject of a National Australia Bank TVC featuring “Australia’s Best Auskick centre”, channel 10’s host Mark “Howie” Howard engaging with the Auskickers. The club worked hard over the course of season 2009 to make the mountain environment friendly every time someone stepped through the gate, match day codes of behaviour highly targeted in setting the right environment. From here the club as always in such a small demographic need to continue to work hard on attracting players, maintaining a high level playing environment a key to this area. Their under 14’s won the division 2 Grand Final comfortably, this always presents a grading problem as many capable division one players pull on a Pomona jumper but half the team is always lower age and in some cases not ready for the top division. Unfortunately a 16’s team in 2009 was not forth coming from the Demons den, but 5 players with solid direction and support from the club headed to Glasshouse Hinterland to join forces. On occasion they returned home to play a “home” game wearing the Blue and Gold, these young men in 2010 will form the nucleus of an under 16 Pomona team.

  • Disciplining Athletes for Off-Field Indiscretions: a Comparative Review of the Australian Football League and the National Football League’S Personal Conduct Policies
    105200 9 4(1) Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Journal 2009 4(1)105 DISCIPLINING ATHLETES FOR OFF-FIELD INDISCRETIONS: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE’S PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICIES James J Paterson* This paper compares the personal conduct policies of the AFL and NFL, which both act to govern the off-fi eld behaviour of players and offi cials. It provides analysis of penalties imposed on participants, and a critique of how the leagues’ commercial interests may infl uence the outcomes, as well as the judicial limits imposed on those disciplinary determinations. Both leagues have broad powers to act when conduct has occurred which they consider to be ‘detrimental to the game’, a term the author asserts is vague and which neither sport’s policy adequately clarifi es. This paper provides policy recommendations to address those limitations. Introduction Sport, which occupies the professional time of a few and the spare time of many, is a fi t study for ethics. Internationally it is becoming increasing complex to organise and regulate and has become fraught with commercial and political pressures … – Sir Roger Bannister 1 The professional version of Australian Rules football, the Australian Football League (‘AFL’), is arguably the most high profi le and profi table sport in Australia. The native version of ‘football’ in the United States, the National Football League (‘NFL’) gridiron competition, occupies a similar position with the American public and in the corporate arena. The NFL is a corporate behemoth. In addition to a television broadcast rights * James J Paterson.

Footy in the region has been hard fought over the years with some wonderful rivalries and many classic matches, both at junior and senior level. There have been many great players and umpires, colourful characters, con- troversial finals, some big representative wins, great clubs and a plethora of fantastic club and league volunteers many of whom will be recognised tonight. The selectors don’t profess to have got the selection absolutely spot on. As with most selection processes in footy there will be debate over who may have missed out but if there is any glaring omissions once the dust has settled then I’m sure they will be included next time. Importantly, the people involved in the selection process are confident that the people inducted deserve to be there. The inductees will have their name engraved on an honour board to be erect- ed at the Multi Sports Complex at Fishermans Road and if there is ultimately to be a team from the Coast representing the region in the QAFL competition then we would like to think that the inductees will automatically become as- sociate life members of that club.
