  • Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: a Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J
    Janetzki et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00301-1 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J. Janetzki1* , Pitre C. Bourdon1, Kevin I. Norton1, Jackson C. Lane1 and Clint R. Bellenger1,2 Abstract Background: There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL). Objective: This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints. Results: Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p=0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p=0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p=0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017.

Patrick McNamara Mr. Dale Monteith Mr. Paul O’Malley (Appointed October 2014) Ms. Kathryn (Kate) Palmer (Retired February 2015) Ms. Stephanie Reeves (Appointed October 2014) Mr. Anthony Stewart (Retired May 2014) CHAIRMAN’S REPORT WORLD CRICKET CUP – THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR It has been a successful year for the MCG, the highlight being the hosting of ICC Cricket World Cup matches including the final which Australia won against New Zealand in front of an Australian record attendance for a single day of cricket of 93,013. This was sweet revenge for Australia after our New Zealand World Cup co-hosts won the first encounter at Eden Park in a thrilling finish. It was an outstanding series all round with five matches at the MCG, including the competition opening game between Australia and England. Fourteen countries participated in 49 matches conducted around Australia and in New Zealand. Attendances exceeded expectations – just on 350,000 patrons filed through the MCG turnstiles. International audiences topped the one billion mark, with the attributes of the MCG and Melbourne on display to the cricketing world. Perhaps the most enthusiastic patrons of all were at the ‘G’ for the India V South Africa clash and Sri Lanka V Bangladesh, both games producing memorable and colourful scenes, charged with patriotism from the local and visiting fans. Having been completely resurfaced following the 2014 AFL season, the MCG playing surface was in outstanding shape for the commencement of cricket commitments in November extending through to the final ball of the World Cricket Cup tournament late in March.

What they said... 'Adam is hurting, he feels it's racist, many, many people feel this is racist and therefore why would you do it, knowing that' AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan 'This whole Adam Goodes drama is ridiculous. The public can boo or chant whoever's name they want! It's nothing to do with being racist....' Former Australian test bowler, Shane Warne On August 29, 2015, Indigenous AFL player Adam Goodes was again booed during a game between his team, the Sydney Swans, and St Kilda. The game was played at Etihad Stadium. It was reported that St Kilda fans booed Goodes when he touched the ball early in the game then again when he kicked a goal in the second quarter. This was Goodes first game back after taking several weeks off in response to consistent booing from opposition crowds during away games. This booing has been occurring for about eighteen months. Goodes has been a prominent spokesperson for Indigenous rights and there are those who claim that the negative response to Goodes is racially based. Others claim it is a response to aspects of Goodes's game or to his aggressive attitude toward opposition supporters. On September 19, 2015, Goodes announced his retirement from AFL football. On September 24, 2015, it was reported that Goodes had declined a lap of honour to mark his retirement and his contribution to the game.

  • Should the AFL Ban Booing? What They Said… The
    Should the AFL ban booing? What they said… ‘Each and every one of us understands there’s a point where it’s a step too far…Pull ourselves back from that, but otherwise enjoy your time at the footy and make sure that everybody feels included and safe’ The AFL's head of football, Steve Hocking, expressing his belief that fans know what is appropriate ‘We know the toll it takes on players; we read about it every other week. We affect to care, but don’t. Concerning umpires, we don’t even pretend. We just boo’ Sports commentator for The Age, Greg Baum, commenting on fans’ indifference to the effect of booing The issue at a glance On April 25, 2019, Collingwood defeated Essendon in the ANZAC Day game at the MCG. After the game, Collingwood captain, Scott Pendlebury, was awarded the Anzac Medal as the game's best player; however, Essendon fans booed throughout his acceptance speech. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/booing-controversy-hits-afl-as-abuse-of- collingwood-captain-scott-pendlebury-tarnishes-anzac-day-game-as-his-coach-says-fans- should-be-ashamed/ar-BBWhQcW Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley then chastised those that took part in the booing, stating, 'Shame on anyone that booed a champion - (I'd) just like to acknowledge the fact that we are blessed to have an opportunity to play on this day to represent the AFL.’ The booing was seen by some as particularly concerning as it came directly after that directed at Geelong’s Gary Ablett during the game against Hawthorn on Easter Monday, April 22, 2019.

    SUSTAINING THE GOLDEN GOOSE AND GANDER: AN INVESTIGATION INTO AFL SEASON TICKET HOLDERS MOTIVATION AND ATTACHMENT AND THEIR SATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE EXPERIENCE David Fouvy B. Economics (Monash), Grad Dip Marketing (CIT), Masters of Business Marketing (Monash) Grad Cert TT&L (RMIT) a thesis submitted to the Faculty of Business and Enterprise Swinburne University of Technology In partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 David Louis Fouvy 2016 ABSTRACT Club members or season ticket holders (STH) are strategically and financially important to professional sport clubs. The challenge facing most, if not all, sporting clubs in the Australian sports industry is the difficulty in identifying those members most at risk of non-renewal or ‘churning’. An alternative framing of the same problem is to identify what are the key impacts on a club member’s purchase intentions. This thesis seeks to examine the relationships between nine motives, nine points of attachment and three stadium factors and their impact on satisfaction, basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) and purchase intention for St Kilda Football Club (SKFC) season ticket holders (STHs). A single structured on-line survey was developed using two previously validated scales, the Sport Interest Inventory (SII) and the Points of Attachment Index (PAI). Data was collected from over 700 STH’s of one Melbourne based Australian Football League (AFL) club immediately after the pre-season competition and just prior to the start of the 2010 official AFL home and away season. Correlation analysis and ANOVA were utilised to test forty-seven hypotheses. Structural equation modelling was used to build a new sports fan response model.
