Rising Star nom, Round 15

Port Adelaide’s Lachlan Jones has been named the Round 15 NAB Rising Star nominee.

The proud Yanyuwa man had 16 disposals, eight score involvements and a goal in Port Adelaide’s two-point win against the Gold Coast SUNS.

In a finals-like game, Jones’ pressure and presence in the forward line were critical to keeping Port Adelaide’s top eight chances alive.

Senior coach Ken Hinkley praised Jones’ recent move from defence to the Power’s half-forward line.

“(Jones) plays footy the right way. He’s tough and hard and has real pressure and real run,” Hinkley said.

“We’re not sure exactly where Lachie plays his football in his career, but all we know right now is he’s bringing some really important stuff to our front half.”

A common sense rule change?

After a 12-year career spanning two clubs, Majak Daw has today announced his retirement from AFL football effective immediately.

Daw joined the Demons in March 2021, during the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection period, after 11 years and 54 games for North Melbourne.

Despite not making an appearance for Melbourne at AFL level, Daw has been a consistent performer in the VFL over his two years in the red and blue.

Daw said he was extremely proud of the of what he has achieved during his time in AFL system.

“I am extremely grateful for the opportunities that North Melbourne and Melbourne Football Club have provided me over the last twelve years.

“I walk away from the game with immense pride in what I’ve been able to achieve and the challenges I’ve been able to overcome.

“With my current injury troubles, I’ve taken the opportunity to reflect on where I’m at and where I’m heading and in speaking with my management and the club, we’ve all agreed that the timing is right for me to retire from the game.

“By stepping away at this stage of the season I can focus on the next stage of my life and spend much more time on my most important and favourite job, being a loving and caring father to my son Hendrix.

“I would like to thank my family, friends, teammates, coaches and the wider football community for their support and care during my time in the industry. I walk away from the game with life-long memories and friendships and real pride in what I’ve achieved.”

GM – Football Performance Alan Richardson thanked Daw for his contribution to the Demons over the past couple of years.

“Majak should leave the game incredibly proud of what he’s been able to achieve across his AFL career,” said Richardson.

“Maj’s career has had its highs and lows, but to represent his family and the Sudanese community in the manner in which he has, over the course of an 11-year period, is something he should be really proud of.

“Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to have an on-field impact at AFL level with Melbourne, but to have returned himself to a position to be able to compete and train at the highest level is testament to Majak’s determination.

“Given his current injury struggles and opportunities that are currently presenting outside of footy, Majak, his management and the club are aligned in the belief that it is the right time for Maj to retire.

“On behalf of the Melbourne Football Club, I would like to thank Majak for his service over the past two seasons and wish him all the very best for the future.”

Born in Sudan, Daw was the first Sudanese-Australian player to be drafted by an AFL club when North Melbourne picked him in the 2009 Rookie Draft.

He debuted for North Melbourne in 2013, going on to play 54 games and kick 43 goals as a key forward with the Roos.

Hawthorn Football Club has today announced that Vice President Peter Nankivell has secured the unanimous support of the Board to succeed Jeff Kennett as the President at the Annual General Meeting in December.

Mr Nankivell has been a member of the Hawthorn Board for eight years and Vice President for the last five years. He also acted as CEO for a number of months preceding the appointment of Justin Reeves to that role.

Mr Nankivell has been intimately involved in both the club’s strategy development and the execution of that strategy. More recently, this has included the sale of the club’s gaming venues for exceptional financial returns, and prior to that, the acquisition and planning of the Kennedy Community Centre project.

As a highly respected senior lawyer, Mr Nankivell will bring a different perspective and style of leadership to the club to ensure the interests of the members continue to remain paramount. Imperative to this is ensuring that the good governance and financial security for the club is maintained and that all employees of the club – players and staff – are provided with the environment to succeed. Mr Nankivell is the current chair of the club’s Governance, Risk, Integrity and Compliance Committee.

The Nominations Committee, of which Mr Nankivell was also the chair, conducted an extensive process to identify the next President of the Hawthorn Football Club. Candidates included Board and non-Board members.

At the conclusion of this process, it was determined that none of the candidates reviewed had the requisite club experience to be President at this particular point in time. This led to the need for the Board to consider other candidates, including those who had not initially shown interest in the position.

Mr Nankivell, who was not a candidate and did not nominate for the position, was recommended by some Independent and Board members of the Nominations Committee following their search for a successor. Subsequently, Mr Nankivell was asked by the Board to reconsider his position. After deliberations with his family, he agreed to nominate for the position of Club President.

“It is wonderful when succession of an organisation can come from within,” President Jeff Kennett said.

“This will ensure that the momentum behind important initiatives on and off the field can be maintained and nurtured.

“Peter has a deep knowledge of the club and, at this time, has been found to be the most appropriate person to lead the club’s future development and activities.

“Importantly, Peter has a value set that will continue to build our Family Club ethos.

“I thank the members of the Nominations Committee for the many meetings and hours of work they have contributed in the interest of the club. In particular, the non-Board members; Businessman, club benefactor and former Vice President Geoff Harris, former premiership captain and Board member Don Scott and former premiership player and Board member Andy Gowers.”

• Cody Weightman (Western Bulldogs)

Goal of the Year – Round 14 nominees

The Round 14 rebel Goal of the Year nominations are as follows:

Rising Star Nomination

Essendon’s Ben Hobbs has been named the Round 14 NAB Rising Star nominee.

The 18-year-old had a career-high 22 disposals, four inside-50s, and five marks in his side’s 35-point win over St Kilda.

Hobbs had eight score involvements, 310 metres gained, and laid two tackles.

The mid-forward is Essendon’s second NAB AFL Rising Star nominee this season, following Nic Martin’s nomination in Round 1.

Since making his debut in Round Five this season, Hobbs hasn’t missed a game for the red and black.

Across his nine games, Hobbs has kicked 5 goals and averages 4.7 marks and 15.7 disposals per game.

Hobbs was drafted from the Greater Western Victoria Rebels to Essendon with the 13th pick in the 2021 NAB AFL National Draft.

He played Auskick in Horsham before joining the Horsham Demons in the Wimmera Football League.

The Collingwood Football Club strongly condemns the disrespectful conduct of player Jordan De Goey shown in footage taken in Bali where he chose to spend the mid-season bye period.  

Collingwood CEO Mark Anderson said the Club is extremely disappointed in Jordan’s behaviour which demonstrated disrespect towards women.

“Our club’s very strong position is that disrespect towards women, in any form, is never acceptable and we strongly condemn it,” Mr Anderson said.

“Jordan’s actions shown in the vision shared on social media are actions we do not accept as a football club, and we are extremely disappointed to see him put himself in this position.

“We have spoken to Jordan at length, and he understands the seriousness of the situation.”

Jordan is currently undergoing a counselling program which he began earlier this year together with the club psychologist to further continue his awareness of himself and improve his behaviours and decision-making off the football field.

In addition to that counselling program, Jordan will undertake further behavioural education for his conduct.

Jordan has also been given a sanction of $25,000, suspended until the end of the Club’s 2022 season to be of good behaviour until then.

“While we do not condone his conduct, we will continue to provide the professional and personal support that Jordan requires to ensure that he consistently lives and demonstrates the values that we expect at Collingwood,” Mr Anderson said.

“Finally, I would like to reiterate that our Club has very strong values, which include respect, tolerance, and a condemnation of irresponsible behaviour. We expect everyone at our club to uphold these values without compromise.”

Jordan De Goey has accepted responsibility and has apologised for his actions and the impact they have on the community.

“I unreservedly apologise to the Collingwood Football Club, its Members, supporters and the wider community for my conduct in Bali and I accept full responsibility for my actions,” De Goey said.

“The actions shown in the video footage are disrespectful and I accept that I have betrayed the trust the Club showed in me by allowing me to take my mid-season break overseas.

“I fully accept that as an AFL player, I have a unique leadership role in the community and with that role comes responsibility.

“My actions have fallen short of the standards expected of me as a person, as an AFL footballer and as a representative of the Collingwood Football Club.

“I had worked hard this year to establish trust and confidence in me to make better decisions and through no one’s fault but my own, I have undone that trust.

“Late last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD and I am trying to become more aware of why I make mistakes that I do. I have again made a mistake – this is an ongoing journey for me – and I remain absolutely committed to changing.

“I will be seeking further support to take the appropriate and necessary steps to learn and improve as a person.

“Again, I apologise for my disrespectful condu

ct. I understand that I have let many people down and that I have much work to do to again rebuild trust.

“I am committed to making myself the best person I can be and I believe that the best chance I have to do that is in an environment where I have the support of my teammates and the Club.”

Collingwood Football Club players Jack Ginnivan and Isaac Quaynor have apologised for a video posted on a social media platform.

"The demeaning of women in the [De Goey] video – that's what's upset the club, upset Craig McRae"

— Footy on Nine (@FootyonNine) June 20, 2022

The Club was aware of Jack Ginnivan’s since-deleted social media post where he and teammate Isaac Quaynor took part in a Tik Tok trend.

After speaking to the Club, the players understood it is not an acceptable trend to participate in and immediately removed the video from their social media platforms.

The players have apologised to everyone at the Club – across all programs – members and the wider community for the impact of their actions.

In addition to apologising, both players will undertake further education on the appropriate use of social media with respect to the content they create.

BYES:

Brisbane, Collingwood, Fremantle, Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne

Since their first game in 1867, Carlton have beaten St Kilda 74% of the time. This includes 5 finals wins out of 5.

Yep – 74%. Carlton have scored 4,145 goals MORE than St Kilda in their matches.

19,570 goals to 15,425.

How did this come about?

It all stems from the early decades of the VFL/AFL competition. Or, well, most decades of the competition really.

In their first 6 seasons, St Kilda won 2 games. Check out all of St Kilda’s match results.

Apart from a few years of winning about 50% of their games, they continued to win games in the single figures for years.

Over the following decades, St Kilda swapped between 40 to 50% win rates, and winning 1 or 2 matches a year. Finals years were usually followed by years languishing at the bottom of the table, being beaten by Carlton, Collingwood, and Essendon.

They couldn’t catch a break. Even in their healthier years, St Kilda were still losing to Carlton and the other big clubs by wide margins.

Who were St Kilda beating back in those single-digit win years? Modern day powerhouse clubs like… University and South Melbourne.

The 1940’s and 50’s were the doldrums for St Kilda. Then came the heady days of the 1960’s under Allan Jeans.

The club was born anew. Their greatest champions emerged. But the Blues still had the wood on the Saints.

St Kilda refused to spiral back down from the middle of the table to the bottom. They did the unthinkable: they consistently placed higher up in the ladder, culminating in beating Collingwood in the 1966 Grand Final… by one point.

St Kilda continued to make a few finals appearances for years to come, but got beaten back from the cup every time.

Then came the 80’s. Kids sang songs in the schoolyard about how terrible St Kilda were at playing Australian football.

The 90’s saw new teams enter the league. The AFL was born, a truly* national league.

New teams! Teams that the Saints could beat! St Kilda heroes like Winmar, Lockett, Hall, and Harvey emerged.

But Carlton remained a 50/50 prospect at best.

At the start of Carlton’s down years in the early 2000’s, St Kilda were still easy-beats against Carlton.

From 2003 St Kilda suddenly left Carlton in the dust, making finals and even Grand Final appearances. Winning more games than any other side, before sinking again for years, beaten even by Carlton.

This year? in Round 16? We see the two clubs as top 8 teams facing off, only a couple of wins separating them. It will be a match for the ages, and a chance for the Saints to claw their way over the body of their nemesis, the Carlton football club.

This is the sort of match that you don’t want to miss. You don’t need to wait until the week of the match to secure Carlton v St Kilda tickets or an AFL Corporate Box, get in early now.

With both teams sitting in the top 8 at the moment we could see a rematch in September and if they do make sure you book your AFL Finals tickets.

At the half way point in the year, the AFL Grand Final is on the minds of a lot of fans.

We’ve got “Flagmantle” starting to trend across BigFooty and other social media.

Carlton are threatening to drop down the ladder after some hopes being raised of deep finals appearances.

Meanwhile, Melbourne are looking to go back to back, even though they’ve lost their last two matches.

Across the years some interesting and crazy Grand Finals facts have emerged. Here are 7:

1.  Fitzroy won the 1916 wooden spoon… and the Premiership in the same year. During World War I with many players at war, only four clubs competed. Fitzroy came fourth on the ladder, but went on to win the Premiership.
2. Michael Tuck has more premierships under his belt than more than half of the existing AFL clubs. At 7 Premierships, he is beaten only by Carlton and Essendon on 16, Collingwood on 15, Richmond, Hawthorn and Melbourne on 13 each, Geelong on 9. Essendon have only won 15 Grand Finals.
3. In 2007, Joel Selwood was the only player in VFL/AFL history to win the AFL Rising Star Award and play in the AFL premiership in the same year.
4. The highest losing score in a Grand Final is 150 points. Richmond lost the 1972 premiership to Carlton, who scored 172 in front of 112,393 spectators to win their 11th Grand Final.
5. Non-Victorian teams have won the Grand Final 11 times. West Coast have won 3, Brisbane Lions 3, Adelaide 2,  Sydney Swans 2, and Port Adelaide 1.
6. North Melbourne and Carlton share the longest Grand Final appearance droughts at 23 years. Neither has made the Grannie since they faced off in the 1999 Grand Final with North Melbourne winning by 35 points.
7. It’s 1966. The game Twister had just been invented, Queen Elizabeth II had only been on the throne for 13 years, Baby Boomers were all under 25, and St Kilda won their first and only Grand Final. St Kilda have the longest Grand Final victory drought, at 56 years. St Kilda won the most games of any club between 2004 and 2012, but couldn’t win the flag in their two appearances in that period.

And fact number 8: It is always challenginge getting tickets to the Grand Final. So no need to wait, get in touch now with The Golden Ticket for 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final tickets on Saturday September 24th.

Of course The Golden Ticket have access to tickets and packages for the first 3 weeks of the finals as well. Look no further than The Golden Ticket for all AFL Finals Dining packages, AFL corporate boxes and premium seating options.

His third goal in the fourth quarter – a snap from 40-metres out – reduced Melbourne’s lead to just one point and set up the come-from-behind win.

The 20-year-old also had 16 disposals, six contested possessions, five marks and three inside 50s.

In the post-match press conference, Senior Coach John Longmire praised McDonald and his forward-line peers for stepping up in the absence of Lance Franklin.

“Sam (Reid) played well as an experienced player in our forward line. Logan (McDonald) was able to do it, we had a bit of an even spread there,” Longmire said.

“Lance (Franklin) clearly makes a difference to us, but you have to find a way without the good players sometimes and we were able to do that tonight.”

McDonald made his debut in the opening round of the 2021 season against the Brisbane Lions, where he kicked three goals.

The key forward was drafted from Perth Football Club with the fourth selection in the 2020 NAB AFL National Draft.
