One of the Boys: the (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career One of the Boys: The (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career Ms. Kasey Symons PhD Candidate 2019 The Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC), Victoria University, Australia. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract: This PhD via creative work comprises an exegesis (30%) and accompanying novel, Fan Fatale (70%), which seek to contribute a creative and considered representation of some women who are fans of elite male sports, Australian Rules football in particular. Fictional representations of Australian Rules football are rare. At the time of submission of this thesis, only three such works were found that are written by women aimed to an older readership. This project adds to this underrepresented space for women writing on, and contributing their experiences to, the culture of men’s football. The exegesis and novel creatively addresses the research question of how female fans relate to other women in the sports fan space through concepts of gender bias, performance, and social surveillance. Applying the lens of autoethnography as the primary methodology to examine these notions further allows a deeper, reflexive engagement with the research, to explore how damaging these performances can be for the relationships women can have to other women. In producing this exegesis and accompanying novel, this PhD thesis contributes a new and creative way to explore the gendered complications that surround the sports fan space for women. My novel, Fan Fatale, provides a narrative which raises questions about the complicit positions women can sometimes occupy in the name of fandom and conformity to expected gendered norms. The exegesis deploys the practice of autoethnographic, practice-led reflexive writing to grapple with academic and popular accounts of female sports fans that also engage 2 with complications of these experiences. A particular focus is placed on how inherent gender bias and social surveillance influences how women are perceived in the sports fan space by not just men, but other women. This is additionally reinforced in literature and popular culture that is addressed in this work. The exegesis and novel provide an important contribution to the knowledge concerning female sports fans. It is only from representing the varied, intersectional complexities of this arena that women enter unequally, that we can learn how to make it a more even playing field. This work provides an approach to the research question that is nuanced and investigative and offers a way to open up conversations that bring women back into the few sports literature narratives that we have to work towards achieving this goal. 3 Student Declaration Doctor of Philosophy Student Declaration I, Kasey Malisse Symons, declare that the PhD thesis entitled One of the Boys: The (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career, is no more than 100,000 words in length including quotes and exclusive of tables, figures, appendices, bibliography, references and footnotes. This thesis contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other academic degree or diploma. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own work. Signature: Date: 26. 3. 19 4 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge, and give my thanks to, Victoria University for supporting me and this work through a Research Training Place Scholarship. This thesis would also not have been possible without my supervisors, Dr. Tom Clark and Dr. Matthew Klugman. Preparing this thesis has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences of my life and that is due to their considered, supportive, and empowering approach to guiding me through the process. I cannot express my gratitude to them both enough. I would also like to thank Dr. Ian Syson who began my PhD journey with me as my principal supervisor until circumstances disallowed him to continue. His initial input, as well as the guidance he provided while supervising my honours thesis, also completed at Victoria University, was an invaluable contribution to this work. During my PhD candidature, I have had the immense pleasure of presenting my work at academic conferences in both Australia and overseas. These opportunities have provided me with the chance to receive essential feedback on my work and have helped to develop my ideas. I want to particularly thank The Sports Literature Association who awarded me the 2018 Lyle Olsen Graduate Student Essay prize for a condensed version of Chapter One of the exegetical work in this thesis, and for publishing the paper in their journal, Aethlon: The Journal of Sports Literature. I would like to also thank Dr. Chris Bolsmann for inviting me to present a paper based on Chapter Three of the exegesis as part of the California State Northridge Sports Seminar Series in Los Angeles in 2018. I would like to acknowledge the support from academics that have encouraged, inspired and challenged me along my academic journey: Dr. Kim Toffoletti, Dr. Enza Gandolfo, Dr. Rose Lucas, Dr. Fiona McLachlan, Dr. Dianne Hall, Dr. Natalie Kon-yu, Dr. Adam Winkel, Dr. Angie Abdou, Kyle Belanger, Matt Tettleton, Joel Sronce, Cory Willard and Julie Merrell. And thank you to Nicholas Marshall for his assistance in proofreading this thesis before submission. 5 Additionally, support has also been provided by my colleagues in the sports media industry. The opportunities and experiences I have been given have been influential in shaping parts of this work. Thank you to John Harms and Yvette Wroby of The Footy Almanac, who brought me on to co-edit The Women’s Footy Almanac 2018 and manage their coverage of women’s football for 2018, Brow Books for publishing my essay on the fan culture of the AFLW in the book Balancing Acts: Women in Sport, the publications The Guardian, Change Her Game and The Women’s Game for publishing my sports writing. And to every woman who has held the door open for me in the sports industry, especially Emily Pilling, Kate O’Halloran and Kirby Fenwick, thank you. I also must mention my amazing mum and dad who have been my rocks all my life but have been especially awesome in these last few years while I dedicated myself full-time to my PhD. They have provided financial support which has been a strain, fielded crying phone calls when I was stressed and have been my own personal cheer squad every step of the way. They are the team who never lets me down. I want to thank football, this beautiful game of Australian Rules and my beloved West Coast Eagles for bringing me so much joy and meaning into my life. While this thesis addresses many areas in the culture of this sport that need to change to become more inclusive, it is my passion for the game that is driving me to highlight them. I want the culture of Australian Rules to be better. I want to fight for that change, and this work is my contribution to the game I love. Finally, I would like to dedicate this thesis to Karen Amor, the most wonderful woman I had the pleasure to work with in the football industry. Karen, you always believed in me, pushed me and demanded more of me because you knew I could give it. I wish you were still here so I could show you what I’ve done and receive one of your incredibly comforting cuddles. I miss you so much and will continue to keep working hard to make you proud. 6 Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 8 Fan Fatale ........................................................................................................................... 27 Exegesis ............................................................................................................................ 266 Chapter One: Goodnight Stories for Female Fans ............................................................ 267 Chapter Two: Female Fans Watching Females Be Fans .................................................. 290 Chapter Three: Fan-tasy Figures and Gone Girls ............................................................. 316 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................ 336 References ......................................................................................................................... 353 7 Introduction This exegesis and accompanying novel seek to contribute a creative and considered representation of some women who are fans of elite male sports, Australian Rules football in particular. This contribution is focussed on the adding of women (Pope, 2012, p. 177) back into a discourse where female fans are still typically portrayed in a stereotypical or one-dimensional way, if they are indeed not ignored from the narrative completely. The exegesis and novel will creatively address the research question of how female fans relate to other women in the sports fan space through concepts of gender bias, performance, and social surveillance. Applying the lens of autoethnography as the primary methodology to examine these notions will further allow me, an engaged participant myself, to explore how damaging these performances can be for women striving for acceptance in the male-dominated sports fan space. A central aspect of this process is the mining of my past and present as my football fan identity has developed and been shaped by the cultures that I am embedded in. Author and

    ABSTRACT No Women in the Press Box: A Case Study to Compare the Experience of Women in Print Sports Journalism from the 1980s and 2000s Chelsea Erin Quackenbush, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: Douglas R. Ferdon, Ph.D. This case study examines women sports writers in the 1980s and 2000s. The purpose of the study was to describe the perceptions of women sports writers’ in relationship to their professional and personal experiences in sports journalism, and how the field has changed in terms of gender relations, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination. Participants agreed that men and women are equal in terms of job duties, and they do not experience discrimination and harassment in the field. There is still progress to be made in terms of the number of women in sports journalism.

It has been especially effective in this regard because, despite being suffused with politics and signifi cantly commodifi ed, sport somehow still manages to present itself and to be seen by many as somehow above and beyond the mundane world of political and economic conduct. Developing international relationships through sport – so-called sport diplomacy – is viewed as a reasonably safe, benign way of making friends and managing confl icts (Levermore and Budd 2004). There are several historical examples, ranging from the so-called ping-pong diplomacy that brought the United States and Communist China into contact in the early 1970s (Xu 2008) to the attempted use of the Olympics to improve relations between North and South Korea (Merkel 2008). When, for example, in 2006 Australia left the Oceania Football Confederation for the larger Asian Football Confederation, the non-sporting justifi cation was that of ‘football diplomacy’: Sport … provides a common point of conversation between societies.

  • Single Source – the Problem Solver by Geoffrey Smith, Strategic Director-Multi Media Development Roy Morgan Research July 2000
    . Roy Morgan Research Roy Morgan Research Pty. Ltd. A.B.N. 91 007 092 944 Quality System Certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001 : 94 Cert. No.6669 Single Source – The Problem Solver By Geoffrey Smith, Strategic Director-Multi Media Development Roy Morgan Research July 2000 Introduction Two recent articles in the American press have highlighted some of the problems that have been dogging advertisers for decades. In both cases, the problem is one of getting value out of research. An Advertising Age article1 states that by matching names in Nielsen’s TV diaries with names of new car buyers the authors discovered that the viewing habits of a number of new- car buying segments differ significantly from average household viewing habits. Deborah Anderson, director of Nielsen’s New Media Services, is attributed with the comments that car marketers are reaching too many non-buyers with their national broadcast TV buys and the auto marketers are basing those TV buys on viewer demographics. The thrust of the article is that if car makers were able to buy TV airtime based on car buying behaviour rather than simple demographics then a different program set would be chosen. The opportunity to save money or increase impact could be as much as 70% compared to a buy based on household viewing. Observation A small proportion of the population buys a new car in any year and there are dozens if not hundreds of make/model options to choose from. Because of this huge diversity of options it should be intuitive that at the model level of buying, chances are that most models are not bought by people that closely resemble the average TV viewer.

  • Kenmore Auskick & U6
    KENMORE JUNIOR AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL CLUB SEASON REPORT 2015 THE MIGHTY KENMORE BEARS KENMORE BEARS AFL 2015 SEASON REPORT Another successful year both on and off the field for the mighty bears. We fielded 17 teams this season: - 2 x Under 6 - 5 x Under 8 - 2 x Under 9 - 2 x Under 10 - Under 11 - Under 12 - Under 13 - Under 14 - Under 15/16 - Under 17 The Under 14 (Jindalee), 15/16 (Wests Juniors) and 17’s (Jindalee) teams were combined sides. This enabled our players to continue to play with their mates while also making new friends, all three were hugely successful. The Under 12’s and Under 14’s played their grand final yesterday, we are hoping for two flags. A huge thank you to all Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Managers and parents/siblings that help out on game day. Without you volunteering we could not play games. I would also like to thank our 3 umpires, Mitch Lake, Max Chambers and Aaron Luhrs, along with Keely Luhrs for the fantastic Friday night food. As I travel to most clubs it was interesting to hear positive feedback on Friday food from all opposition clubs. Next year we are planning on fielding teams in all age groups, under 6 to 17 again plus all girls’ teams in under 11, 13 and 15. Make sure you keep looking at our Facebook and web site for updates in the off season. Off the field we got a new grandstand, play-ground and shed continuing the great work of the committee. KENMORE AUSKICK & U6 It’s been a long year for some of the youngest members of our club starting way back in early March with AFL Auskick.
