After much lobbying and planning the new social rooms construction began and were completed with the building being officially opened at a grand ceremony on September 25th, 2015 by Mayor Sandra Mayer along with other dignitaries. The administration and governance of the club was severely tested with the resignations of Presidents and committee members, new committee members being appointed to the committee and the incumbent General Manager being stood down and replaced. AFL Vic and the Frankston City Council (both major stakeholders of the club) imposed compliance reporting measures to ensure the operations and administration of the club both on and off the field improved and were sustainable. On field both our senior and development sides endured extremely tough seasons. Given the late appointment of the senior coach, lack of resources and the severely under financed position of the football department this was to be expected. The coaching and playing groups remained focused and resolute in their determination to be competitive and improve and I’m sure with an increase to resources availability and change of process 2016 will see this happen. The five current committee members, together with club staff, have by applying due diligence and the implementation of process and procedure ensured a level of stability, good governance and measured financial management that has resulted in the now improved operating of the club. Ongoing review of operational procedures across all areas of the club must continue to ensure the club is compliant where required and at the fore front of development, progression and success to ensure the longevity of this great club. I wish to thank the staff, members and supporters for their support during the past few turbulent months and look forward to working towards returning the Frankston Football Club to the sound and prosperous organisation it should be.

We started the year with a mere 300 games of senior VFL experience with Hockey, Buchanan and Tynan making up nearly 200 of those games between them. To put that into perspective, when we battled Sandringham in round 4, their team boasted nearly 600 games of AFL experience. The loss of key players at the start of the year was always going to be hard replace. But through adversity, comes opportunity and we were able to get nearly 400 games into our younger players. Players like Ben Cavarra, Josh Pickess, Nathan Gardiner, Nathan Foote and Josh Newman took giant strides in their development as they established themselves as genuine senior VFL footballer. We also added 12 players from the Stingrays and watched Kyle Grey, Blake Mullane and Aaron Wilson made an impact in their first season. We also welcomed some outstanding recruits to the club. Kalem Post and Brandon Wood made the move from Box Hill and James Wilson (Port Melbourne) and John Cooper (Coburg) helped to add some bigger bodies to our list. However, despite the positive progression the boys displayed in their development, and the ferocity at which they attacked each contest and each game, we were a long way off the mark. Competing in the second best competition in Australia was a tough ask for these young men and unfortunately our performances tailed off as the season went on. This was an inevitable result given our list, but may prove a blessing in years to come. While the need for target recruiting will be addressed over the next two or three years, the value of games into these young men will bear fruits in the years to come, provided they stay together. It must be noted that despite the pain of a winless season the attitude of our young Dolphins was first class from start to finish. Their perseverance, resilience and absolute hunger to improve was amazing to watch. The character of our players is first class and should be commended. Despite the doom and gloom of on-field results, as a football department we were able to take some positive steps in 2015. To keep up with the top teams we needed to have a critical look at how we ran our football department and how the players developed, trained and behaved. Some of the changes we were able to implement in 2015 include: - 4 new coaches were added to the coaching group from a variety of backgrounds to allow greater player access and engagement. Working for nothing, their professionalism and work ethic was outstanding. Now coming into their second year they are well placed to take greater control of their areas. - The club was very fortunate to appoint Ben Griffin to the important position of Head of Conditioning. Ben brought with him a wealth of experience after 4 years at the Western Bulldogs and 4 years at Box Hill. Together with his assist, Trent Pirihi and the clubs medical staff, the players now have a better understanding of what is required to play at this level. - Introduced the Dolphins Academy for first year players. This Academy was run by former Hawthorn Footballer Beau Muston and was designed to help players transition from TAC Cup/local football and fast track their development. In 2016 this program will be extended to first and second year players. - Implemented a new fresh game plan comparable to the top teams in the AFL. Whilst it can be difficult to grasp in the first year, the players are now in a good position to take their football to a new level. - Redevelopment of the player’s rooms to include a player theatre for preparation and review of matches, new coach’s area, restructure of the players locker area and the relocation of the gym to open up a warm up area suitable for game day.

    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.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.
