Download or read book How to Transform Australian Rules Football Into a World Game written by Geoffrey Higges and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my time in Australia during WWII, I enjoyed playing many sports including Australian Rules Football, and I loved following the local Victorian Football League (VFL). Back in England after the war, I was asked to describe the game to a class of secondary students. I drew a big oval on the blackboard, and filled it with the 18 players from each side. I described the shape of the ball, and explained how you could drop-kick it, or punt it, and also that you could pass the ball by punching it out of your hands, but that you were not allowed to throw it, and I explained the scoring system. No one believed me, and their incredulity increased when I tried to explain some of the other amazing rules of play - not surprising perhaps when even Australian Umpires themselves have so much difficulty interpreting the rules. From the original 334 words involving just 10 rules, the current Laws of Australian Rules Football have increased to 20,000 words involving 600 clauses and sub-clauses. This makes fair and consistent umpiring an impossible task, and means that outsiders have no chance of understanding the game. This might also mean that after well over 100 years, the locally popular game has not spread substantially to other countries. The other enduring problem is the amazing way the Australian Football League (AFL) organises the playing season of the top professional league. For example, each club does not play each other club in a fair home and away season; instead, most teams play a different set of opponents from each other during a full season. In this book a brief description of Australian Rules Football is provided for those not entirely familiar with the game, together with a list of many of the current playing laws; then 13 rule changes are proposed that would make decision making more clear cut, while at the same time creating fewer stoppages and a greater flow on of the game. In addition the author asks for a rethink in the organisation of the Australian Football League which would solve the unfairness of the league's schedule, and greatly enhance the acceptance and excitement of the game as a whole. Such changes would mean even greater enjoyment for players and spectators alike, and enhance the opportunity for Australian Rules Football to become a World Game.

Download or read book Changing the Game written by Ange Postecoglou and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ange Postecoglou has been at the centre of football in this country for more than thirty years. In this book, he shows us the game through his eyes, from the changing room to the boardroom, to reveal how Australia must boldly reimagine its place in the world. From his playing days with South Melbourne in the 1980s to coaching the Socceroos to victory in the 2015 Asian Cup, Ange Postecoglou’s uncompromising commitment to success has coincided with the incredible rise of football in this country. He won the old National Soccer League as a player and a coach. Now that Australian football is reaching new heights, Ange is again at the forefront: he’s won back-to-back A-League titles, led the Brisbane Roar to the longest unbeaten run in any code, and the national team to the winner’s podium. He’s a man with strong opinions about how to play and lead. Ange’s story is one of fostering a culture of success, and turning history – or precedent – on its head. He candidly relays key moments and meetings in his life, reflecting on how these have shaped his beliefs and practices, and gives frank views on where the current game is going right and wrong. What’s revealed is a bold and impassioned account of the game he loves.
Download or read book Australian Rules Football During the First World War written by Dale Blair and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the intersection between the Great War and patriotism through an examination of the effects of both on Australia’s most popular football code. The work is chronological, and therefore provides an easy path by which events may be followed. Ultimately it seeks to shine a light on and provide considerable detail to a much-ignored period in Australian Rules football history, including women’s football history, that was subject to much upheaval and which reflected considerable social and class divisions in society at the time. One hundred years on, the Australian Football League presents past soldier footballers as unequivocal representatives of a unifying national ‘Anzac’ spirit. That is far from the reality of football’s First World War experience.

Download or read book Australia s Game written by Matthew Nicholson and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH) Biennial Book Prize Unlike every other sport that has captured the nation’s interest, Australian football is not a copy, a clone, or a hand-me-down of European culture. Rather, it is a game with special qualities, which arose from a distinctive series of events in the fledgling colony of Victoria, grew rapidly, and is now the most dominant sport in the country: a social, commercial, cultural and—for many—spiritual force. Australia’s Game—the History of Australian Football describes, in forensic detail, the characters that led the way, how crises were faced and overcome, the great players and coaches who have influenced the ways the game has been played, the supporters who have stayed true to their club and have passed on their passion through generations, and most recently how the game has added another dimension with a flourishing national competition for women.

Download or read book Kouta written by Anthony Koutoufides and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carlton fans adored him for his ability to win games off his own boot; opponents admired him for his seemingly superhuman feats. And today, AFL coaches still scour the fields for rookies of his ilk. But there's only one Anthony Koutoufides. For sixteen years, Kouta's name echoed throughout the stands. His one-handed pick-up brought him to the attention of his coach, but his strong mark, beautiful kick and sheer athleticism won over all the fans. A premiership player and twice All-Australian, Kouta certainly found success but his career wasn't always a fairytale. Chronic injuries restricted his game, personal tragedy left him reeling and when he was made captain, he had to lead the club through some of its darkest days. To farewell the game, Kouta tells all the pressures of mounting expectation, club politics, drug allegations and the changing face of football. He recounts his journey from the early days in Lalor to the big lights and pay packets of a national league, where controversy pops up at the slightest provocation. Insightful and entertaining, Kouta is a candid look at our beloved game from perhaps the greatest player of his era."--Provided by publisher.
