One of the good things about canteen duty is that you get to catch up with lots of different people, this week we caught up with our Roos News Editor Kym and her boys Rhys & Cory. I must say I’m sure glad that Kym decided to have a crack at it, because what a great job she does each week in putting out the Roos News, we now have a few hard copies available on the counter at the canteen for those who don’t get a chance to read it. With all those water sports, seems the family may spend as much time at the pool as I do at the footy club. I wonder if we will see any back flips on the footy field this season, that is a special talent. For someone who isn’t in to MasterChef, bacon, banana and cheese melts sound much more like something you would see on that show than ever in the canteen at Coorparoo, but gee the kids are pushing for some Pizza.

  • Kevin Sheehan's 2011 Top 30 It's Over a Month Since the NAB AFL Draft
    Kevin Sheehan’s 2011 Top 30 It’s over a month since the NAB AFL Draft Combine was held at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne to scrutinise the talent pool. The event tested agility, speed and skills. Meanwhile the endurance testing was a highlight, with many record breaking performances. Now our focus is on the NAB AFL Draft which for the first time, be held in Sydney and will welcome 18 AFL clubs, including the newest club the Greater Western Sydney Giants. In the last month AFL Recruiting Managers and their teams have watched endless edited highlights of prospects; absorbed countless numbers relating to the speed, endurance, effective kicks, efficiently rates and clearances, studied medical reports and conducted interviews not just with the players, but with coaches, parents and teachers. It now comes down to opinions – human judgements on which players, in the view of the individual clubs, have what’s necessary to make a difference at the elite level. The computer in this instance won’t provide the answer but sports science helps with decisions. Who has the greater ball-winning ability, decision-making and skill execution? Who has the competitive edge and sufficient athleticism to be chosen for a professional AFL career? Who will grow and develop most in the AFL club environment? What we do know is that more than 90 players can be given the chance (there will be passes late in the draft to leave room for preseason draft selections in late December) and only father-son selections and upgraded rookies can be certain of their destination.

  • Event, Image, History and Place: How the NYC2012 Olympic Bid Constructed New
    Event, Image, History and Place: How the NYC2012 Olympic Bid Constructed New York City A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Michael H. Koch August 2012 © 2012 Michael H. Koch. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Event, Image, History and Place: How the NYC2012 Olympic Bid Constructed New York City by MICHAEL H. KOCH has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Joseph W. Slade Professor of Media Arts and Studies Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT KOCH, MICHAEL H., Ph.D., August 2012, Mass Communication Event, Image, History and Place: How the NYC2012 Olympic Bid Constructed New York City (251 pp.) Director: Joseph W. Slade This dissertation examines the bid book produced by the NYC2012 organization as part of its effort to have New York City named host of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. The NYC2012 bid book, like any other Olympic bid book, is a unique, complex document. It is both a blueprint or future vision of a city, and an extensive, carefully- constructed piece of place-marketing aimed primarily (but not solely) at the elite decision-makers who control the Olympic Movement, along with all its economic and cultural power. Using a qualitative approach, drawing upon cultural history, urban studies, political economics, and other perspectives, this work identifies and discusses the key themes in the NYC2012 bid book: New York City’s cosmopolitanism; its urban needs and networks; its renascence and recaptured traditions; and its drama and spectacle.

  • The Footy Game (135 Words)
    SET 8 Learning to read SPELD SA Phonic Books support the teaching of reading by using a structured synthetic phonics approach. They are designed to build on the pre-reading skills of oral language and phonological awareness needed for reading success. The books support the learning of letter-sounds and blending in a sequential phonic order, helping students to develop their independent decoding skills. The books also contain limited high frequency words that need to be taught before reading the book. The questions and activities focus on increasing a student’s vocabulary and fluency and encourage the student to make deeper connections with the author’s message. The footy game (135 words) Before reading the book, use the practice page to: 1. Revise the alternative spellings for sounds 2. Teach the blending of letter-sounds in regular words The student points to each letter or combination of letters, saying the sound they represent. Swipe left to right under the letters, saying the sounds quickly and smoothly together to read the word. e.g. p-i-le is ‘pile’; j-o-ke is ‘joke’; f-oo-t-y is ‘footy’. During single word practice, check that the student understands the meaning of the word. If the student is having difficulty hearing the word when blending: • repeat the sounds more than once in succession to help the student ‘hear’ the word • model stretching the sounds together without pauses, e.g. nnnniiiiiip, is ‘nip’ • use letter tiles and push them together while saying the sounds. 3. Teach the high frequency words Tell the student the words and determine any ‘tricky’ parts by breaking up the word into its sounds.

  • Australian Rules Football, Football and Footy
    CPI2 ENGLISH 2018 Australian Rules Football Read the text and answer the questions Australians are proud of a popular national winter sport fondly referred to as Aussie Rules but also known as Australian football, Australian rules football, football and footy. Since the earliest known football matches held in the 1800s this popular spectator sport is now played in more than thirty countries around the world including Japan, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, France, India, China, Canada, North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany. It is a fast paced contact sport whereby two opposing teams, playing on an oval shaped grass field, score goals and points by passing the ball between four posts at either end of the field. With no offside rules players can go anywhere on the field and propel the ball in any direction. Each team of eighteen players uses a variety of kicking, handball and running strategies to score goals between the middle posts and points between a goal post and a smaller post known as the behind post. Each goal is worth 6 points and the combined goals and points make up the final score. Australians love watching their footy. The crowd goes crazy when players show skill and talent in taking possession of the ball and scoring. Although it is a contact sport dangerous play is not allowed and usually results in free kicks to the opposing team, penalties or suspension. CPI2 ENGLISH 2018 Many teams have their own song however one well known footy song, Up There Cazaly, is often played during national grand final games.
