I have a 'standing room GA' ticket. What are the 'do's and don'ts' for getting the best possible view? Get there early?

Then there is the 'Barassi Line"....an imaginary line in Australia that demarcates a divide in the popularity of two major football codes: Australian rules football (AFL) and rugby league. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barassi_Line

A recent study of "coaching trees" ranked Barassi as the 8th most influential VFL/AFL coach: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspor.2023.1172264/full ...but there is so much more to this man's influence on the game.

In 2009 , Barrassi chased a man who (allegedly) assaulted a woman. He received bravery award for this efforts: Barassi awarded for bravery Legend.

The following advice is coming from a guy that dodged a (unprovoked) pulmonary embolism a few year ago at age 49.... 1. Keep you fingers crossed....s**t can happen to anybody, no matter what. Life is fragile. 2. Hope that you have good genetics....this lessens the odds of s**t happening. But...

88000 people attended the Carlton Collingwood game. The match was a sellout (a few days prior to the match) 12000 empty seats. So how do we explain the 12000 empty seats? 1. Presumably some AFL/club members did not attend and did not pass their tickets on to friends/family. 2. Presumably MCC...

So how s So if you are correct, does this mean that a new director of a publicly listed company is never elected by the shareholders? So what does 9.6 of the attached constitution mean/allow? https://investors.jbhifi.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/JB-Hi-Fi-Limited-Constitution.pdf And...

Really? Maybe in privately owned businesses, which is not a good benchmark for football clubs. What publicly listed company in Australia does not allow the shareholders to elect the directors?

For me it was the day Neil Sacshe never walked again.

25 years ago today, the Fitzroy Football Club played their last game of AFL football. For mine, it is the second saddest day in the history of the VFL/AFL. Lest we forget.

Recently, I have been thinking about the pathway from AFL player to AFL head coach. Do you think that playing position has any effect on the likelihood of a player becoming an AFL coach? Put another way, what playing positions (narrowly or broadly defined) are over represented or...

The answer to your first two questions is Yes. This was the landmark case that held that sport organisations, and more specifically the owner of the rule book, have a duty of care: Haylen v NSW Rugby Union Ltd [2002] NSWSC This case would also explain why the AFL has made the "head...

You don't change a winning team. A player is only as good as his last game. You can't drop a player for only one bad game. It's harder for a player to get out of the team than it is to get into it. Or put another way, a prospective player has to be better by some considerable margin to...

The day Neil was injured was arguably the saddest day in the history of VFL/AFL football. His was a life very well lived.

Nice work. Voss first appointed in 2009. Hird in 2011.

Who was the last AFL Head Coach who did not first serve "an apprenticeship" as an assistant coach? Was it Voss at Brisbane? And whilst I am here... I would like to document the growth in the number of AFL assistant coaches. Is there a better/faster way of doing this other than trawling...

So you are in the commentary booth calling Friday night footy....a fight breaks out. What are you going to call it, other than a fight? Stoush Stink Blue Donnybrook Exchanging pleasantries Ruckus Brouhaha ...

I assume you are talking about his dislike for needles? Yes, that is different.

I remember those days well. You could recognise the real brand by looking at the bottom of the boots. Adidas Copa Mundials were easily recognisable because of the black tags on the white plastic outer sole.., despite the hand-painted Puma stripe on these boots. I agree that...

It is different, but thanks for sharing. I remember playing U17s footy in Queensland...and the XXXX logo on the jerseys disappeared halfway through the season.

I can't find any Judd statements that are critical of gambling. But what I can find is evidence that Judd once tried to "keep secret" his indirect interest (via his company Three Zebras) in the Crawfords Leisure Group, and in turn the CLG investment in the Sovereign Hotel Group (SHG) (and...

The drink-driving examples are not quite the same as a "values-based" effort by the athlete to dissociate themselves from the sponsor But I agree 100% there are some similarities....as this research demonstrates: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/24704067.2018.1441738?journalCode=rgsm20

You may recall Usman Khawaja (Australian cricketer) gaining an exemption from wearing the VB logo in his cricket uniforms. Similarly, Sonny Bill Williams distanced himself from the Bank of New Zealand, the sponsor the Auckland Blue Super Rugby team. Whilst both of these examples are underpinned...

Without precedent…and hopefully never to be repeated.

We've tried...and we will continue too keep trying on this one. Wellington Stadium always worried about wear and tear on then ground....and the need to get the ground converted from AFL back to soccer....and then there is always scheduling issues and logistics. It makes 100% sense...but...

My bad. Meeting to decide on the future of Auckland sport stadiums starts next week. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11438740

Western Springs. Announcement/confirmation expected later today.

10000 locals (including expats) at the game. Noone has a sense of how many expats attended then game. At AFLNZ , our missions too make Australian football a New Zealand game...and you can't do that by targeting only expats.

Hurricanes did not play in Wellington all weekend...Not much Rugby played anywhere on Saturday afternoon.

What you have written immediately above is correct. I thought you were under the impression that Wellington City Council would be concerned if travelling AWAY team supporters outnumbered the Saints supporters. Anecdotally, I understand it was tough to get a room in Wellington over the...
