Book excerpt: This volume continues the story of football in Marvellous Melbourne during the 1880s. The VFA continued to add clubs as Melbourne's boom continued apace. Innovations in the game included the division of matches into four quarters, the waving two flags to signal a goal, and bells to mark the end of quarters. Victoria also played inter-colonial matches against New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia. By 1890 South Williamstown, Prahran and University had dropped out of senior ranks, and the Ballarat clubs were excluded from competing for the VFA premiership, which left 12 senior clubs until Collingwood's emergence in 1892. VFA secretary T.S. Marshall was also at the forefront of fighting the game's turn towards professionalism, which was led by the powerful clubs.

Download or read book Aboriginal People and Australian Football in the Nineteenth Century written by Roy Hay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will revolutionise the history of Indigenous involvement in Australian football in the second half of the nineteenth century. It collects new evidence to show how Aboriginal people saw the cricket and football played by those who had taken their land and resources and forced their way into them in the missions and stations around the peripheries of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. They learned the game and brought their own skills to it, eventually winning local leagues and earning the respect of their contemporaries. They were prevented from reaching higher levels by the gatekeepers of the domestic game until late in the twentieth century. Their successors did not come from nowhere.

Book excerpt: 'I have yet to find a game that carries as much pleasure, as much harmless excitement, and as much stimulus as the Australasian game of football... The game is Australian in its origin, Australian in its principle, and, I venture to say, essentially Australian in its development.' - Prime Minister Alfred Deakin, 1908 From its humble origins 150 years ago to the multi-million dollar budgets of today's elite teams, Australian Rules football has become a major industry. A truly home-grown sport, it has become embedded into the culture of the nation. But how did it all begin, and what happened along the way to make the game the great spectacle that it is today? And at what cost? Have the grassroots levels of the code been obscured by the commercial interests of the AFL? With original research, and including several never-before-published images, this is the only comprehensive history of the evolution of the game from the nineteenth century to the present day. It describes, for the first time, how and why Australian Rules football came to dominate the national sporting landscape.

Download or read book Why Fans Matter written by Kausik Bandyopadhyay and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-29 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the meanings, significances, and impacts of the complex identities that soccer fans, especially those of men's soccer, represent worldwide. The chapters in this volume construct and reconstruct fandom in terms of diverse fan affiliations from local to global level, and from national to transnational spaces. Soccer or (association) football is a game where fans come alive with one goal. It is soccer’s fanbase that has made it the most popular mass spectator sport in the world. Since the sport’s growth and its codification in the late nineteenth century, soccer and its followers became markers of varied identities. This volume is an attempt to understand the soccer fan’s tryst with such identities, mostly at the level of professional men’s football in different parts of the world. Fans create, represent, break, recreate, transcend, complicate and confuse diverse identities in their attachments with and loyalties to particular clubs, nations, continents, spaces, communities, races, ethnicities, and players. These identities are given shape through the display and observance of diverse forms of fandom and fan subcultures. Against this wider backdrop, the book brings out the commonalities, conflicts and tensions within these fan identities. Why Fans Matter? Fans and Identities in the Soccer World will be a fascinating read for anybody with an interest in sport and its intersection with disciplines such as sociology, political science, history, media studies, or cultural studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.

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.
