    Extracts from NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2017 A GREAT INITIATIVE OF THE “FARMERS DAY” BY KEVIN SHEEDY In the second year of the Farmers Round, the Bombers played Geelong on the MCG on Saturday May 13th. There were many stalls and entertainment for supporters outside the ground prior to the game, and Kevin Dale, a member of our Association and President of the Dick Reynolds Club and Collins Street Dons, was seen whipping up the boys before the game, it worked, because they had a great win . This event has become a great annual match and will only grow bigger in future years. Well done Sheeds. Two of our past players, Ian “Bluey” Shelton and Russell Blew, were invited to the Essendonians function prior to the game and are pictured with Peter Hughes, the President of the Essendonians. OUR ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS EFC APPLICATION TO FIELD A WOMEN’S TEAM The EFC has now officially submitted an application to the AFL to field a women’s team in the AFL in season 2019. As part of this application, we have confirmed that the same conditions would apply to women who represent the EFC at AFL or VFL to become members of our Association following their playing days, which we believe adds value to the application. There is of course no guarantee that the EFC will be granted a licence in 2019, however at some time in the future there will be a women’s team representing the club, which we should all support wholeheartedly. The article below should be of interest to all Bomber supporters.

  • A'court, BILL (West Adelaide)
    A A’COURT, BILL (West Adelaide): Acourt was placed on Oliver and to keep this man from taking his sensational marks gives a man plenty to do. Acourt did not let him do too much, and played a good game beside.1 Father of star West Adelaide ruckman of the 1950s Fred A’Court (profiled below), Bill A’Court was a strong defender who also played with West. He debuted with the club in 1909, and was a key member that same year of its winning grand final team against Port Adelaide. He went on to play in the premiership sides of 1911 and 1912 as well. From 1909 to 1915 A’Court played 83 SAFL games and kicked four goals. A’COURT, FRED (West Adelaide): Fred A’Court was a stalwart of West Adelaide sides during the club’s nightmare decade of the 1950s, when four grand finals were contested without success, all against Port Adelaide. He commenced with West in 1949, and over the ensuing 11 seasons played a total of 159 league games and kicked 110 goals. In January 1954, A’Court applied for a clearance to VFL club Richmond, claiming that, if he made the move, he would be £15 a week better off financially, but West Adelaide refused the application and he continued to play for the Blood and Tars for the remainder of his career. A tough, tireless and talented ruckman, A’Court - popularly known as ‘Boof’ - represented South Australia eight times, kicking 10 goals. AAMODT, COLIN (North Adelaide): In a brainy display of football Aamodt showed all the fleetness of foot that enabled him to run a place in a Stawell Gift.

  • 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.
