The Sydney Swans have long been admired for maintaining a culture that drives a strong sense of team. Peter Ryan examines some of the secrets that propelled the Swans to the flag last season. With quotes from many players and the coach, Ryan focuses on the way the Swans turned their season around after a disappointing loss late in the season. Hard work, team first, honest feedback, and the identification of clear, uncomplicated roles for players are some of the pillars of their success. Many will recall the bravery of Daniel Hannebery and Adam Goodes in last season’s Grand Final – such acts it appears are expected at the Swans and reveal the strength of the culture they have developed. Contemporary players and coaches Steven King and Ben Hudson outline ruck strategies and methods of teaching ruckmen, while Drew Petrie offers some tips to improve the performance of the key forward-second ruckman. Guidance for planning practice sessions that provide a link to specific game-plans or rectifying issues emerging in games, is advocated in an article by Danny Ryan. As well, some ideas for drills that practise specific game situations are presented. Two former coaches, Peter Schwab and Terry Wallace, who boast a wealth of experience, share their views on principles to follow when evaluating coaches and providing guidelines for rookie coaches. Their insights provide a useful framework for coaches to assess their own performance. Finally, as well as the regular features, there are three articles that explore some guidelines for dealing with concussion, the utilisation of latent wisdom in footy clubs, and the value of players having a vast repertoire of sporting skills. I hope you enjoy the reading and trust that your coaching grows as a result.

    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.

  • Newsletter August 2017
    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.
