Lion King Moves Into New Den at Fox Footy 20 FEBRUARY, 2015 LION KING MOVES INTO NEW DEN AT FOX FOOTY HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, FORMER BRISBANE LIONS SUPERSTAR JONATHAN BROWN CHOOSES FOX FOOTY IN 2015 FOX FOOTY today announced that recently retired Brisbane Lions Champion, Jonathan Brown, will swap his playing kit for a commentary suit in 2015 in a massive coup for Australia’s only dedicated AFL channel. The three-time Premiership player joins the game’s leading commentary team after hanging up his playing boots last year. Brown said he’s really excited to be a part of the FOX FOOTY family in 2015. “Making the decision to retire was tough because I absolutely love the game, but being part of a network that is purely AFL, all week long, is the perfect next step for me. “I can’t wait to get stuck into my commentary role and work alongside some of the biggest names and most experienced people in the industry,” Brown said. Known for his bravery and toughness on the field, the 256-game forward has been one of the most respected AFL players throughout his fifteen year career amassing nearly every accolade possible. Director - FOX SPORTS Melbourne and Head of FOX FOOTY channel, Rod Law, said Brown would offer a new level of insight into the teams and players having literally just stepped off the field. “Jonathan Brown is up there with the game’s greatest, and one of the toughest players in the modern era. Fans loved to watch Jonathan and the passion he brought to the game and we’re sure they’ll love his authentic approach and insight.” “Jonathan has always been a brutally honest competitor on the field and we can’t wait to see that same honesty in his role at FOX FOOTY,” Mr Law said. Brown will start his new role as an expert commentator during FOX FOOTY’s NAB Challenge coverage beginning Thursday, February 26 alongside Jason Dunstall, Dermott Brereton, Dwayne Russell and David King. During the 2015 Toyota AFL Premiership Season Brown will become a valuable member of FOX FOOTY’s Friday Night Footy coverage. Brown will also join renowned AFL program ‘On the Couch’, Monday nights at 7.30pm EDT, alongside Gerard Healy and Jason Dunstall, to weigh in on all the big talking points impacting the game. Brown captained the Lions from 2007-2013, winning three Premierships (2001, 2002 and 2003), is a dual All-Australian and Coleman Medallist (2007) and was the club’s leading goal kicker on five occasions. Brown will bolster an unrivalled team of AFL commentators, analysts and journalists at FOX FOOTY which includes Eddie McGuire, Sandy Roberts, Gerard Whately, Dermott Brereton, Jason Dunstall, Mark Ricciuto, Anthony Hudson, David Parkin, Mark Maclure, Tony Shaw, David King, Brad Johnson, Dwayne Russell, Cameron Mooney, Gerard Healy, Danny Frawley, Barry Hall, Ben Dixon, Leigh Colbert, Mark Robinson, Matthew Campbell, Jon Ralph and former teammate Alastair Lynch.

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009 THE NEW SEASON Most community football leagues around Australia kick off this weekend or immediately after Easter and NAB AFL Auskick Centres commence their programs in the next month. This newsletter focuses on a range of topics which are relevant to the commencement of the 2009 Australian Football season. PLAYING AND TRAINING IN HOT CONDITIONS The new season generally starts in warm to hot conditions and there is always a lift in intensity once the premiership season proper starts. Regardless of the quality of pre-season training programs, early games are usually more stressful and players and coaches should keep safety factors associated with high intensity exercise in warm conditions in mind – these include individual player workloads (use of the bench), hydration and sun sense. The following article by AIS/AFL Academy dietitian Michelle Cort provides good advice regarding player hydration. Toughen Up - Have a Drink! Why are so many trainers necessary on a senior AFL field and why they are constantly approaching players for a drink during a game? Obviously the outcome of not drinking enough fluid is dehydration. The notion of avoiding fluid during sport to ‘train’, ‘toughen’ or ‘adjust’ an athlete’s body to handle dehydration is extremely outdated & scientifically incorrect. Even very small amounts of dehydration will reduce an AFL player’s performance. Most senior AFL conditioning, nutrition and medical staff invest considerable time into ensuring the players are doing everything possible to prevent significant dehydration from occurring in training and games. The effects on performance are not limited to elite athletes.

THE COACHING CAPER FRESH & FAMILIAR FACES The AFL coaching landscape will have a different look in 2014. Four clubs will have rookie coaches – Leon Cameron (Greater Western Sydney), Alan Richardson (St Kilda), Justin Leppitsch (Brisbane Lions) and Adam Simpson (West Coast). Another two – Essendon and Melbourne – have lured back respected premiership coaches Mark Thompson and Paul Roos. What are their hopes and expectations? ASHLEY BROWNE They have an unbelievable passion for the game and for teaching the game HAWTHORN COACH ALASTAIR CLARKSON ON PROTEGES LEON CAMERON AND ADAM SIMPSON THE COACHING CAPER FRESH & FAMILIAR FACES n the ideal world, every new AFL coach would have landed his job in identical fashion. There would be development coaching, teaching the kids and learning to coach. Throw in some line coaching and perhaps a practice match or a NAB Challenge encounter as the senior coach just to get a taste for the big chair. At some stage, perhaps at the start or somewhere along the journey, Ithere would be a period as standalone coach at under-18 or state league level, where with every decision made, the buck stops with you. Coaching pathways have become a trendy topic, as illustrated by Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson in his remarks about the difficulties faced by James Hird during the Essendon supplements scandal. BACK IN THE FOLD: The point Clarkson tried to highlight Former premiership was whether Hird might have star Justin Leppitsch returns to the handled things better had he not Brisbane Lions as been thrust into the job at Essendon senior coach.

  • Week9 E-Record .Indd
    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

  • Coleman Medallist
    Coleman Medal Student Activity 7 8 9 10 11 12 TI-Nspire™ Investigation Student 30 min Full Stop for Full Forwards The Coleman medal, named after John Coleman (Essendon 1949 to 1954) is awarded to the AFL player that kicks the most goals in a season. Coleman kicked 12 goals in his debut match and still mixes it with the best when it comes to the average number of goals kicked per game. Peter Hudson was the first Coleman medal recipient to kick more than 100 goals in a season (1968, 125 goals), he backed this up with 146 goals in 1970, 140 in 1971 and 105 in 1977. Since this amazing era, players such as Jason Dunstall, Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett (Snr) have collected multiple Coleman medals consisting of more than 100 goals in a season. More recently, recipients of the medal have kicked between 60 and 80 goals per season. Does this recent trend represent a ‘full stop’ for full forwards? Your task is to see if data supports the notion that the position of full forward is no longer as critical as it was in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s.
