BRAIN FADE: Lachie Hunter has been fined and suspended by the Bulldogs for drink driving.

EDITOR’S LETTER

t’s not been the best week to be an AFL player in isolation. Late last week, Western Bulldogs midfielder Lachie Hunter made the unwise decision to get in his car after a few drinks and it has since cost him dearly. After fleeing the scene, Hunter blew 0.123 after crashing into four parked cars, one of which belonged to the parents of teammate Bailey Smith’s girlfriend. Smith subsequently drove Hunter to the apartment of another Dogs teammate, Billy Gowers, prompting Victoria Police to impose fines to all three for breaching the travel and social distancing directions issued by the Chief Health Officer. Gowers also copped a suspended $5000 fine for his role in the aftermath of the incident. The fallout has been fairly significant for Hunter, 25, who has opted to step down from his role as Bulldogs vice-captain. Furthermore, Hunter has been suspended for four AFL matches upon the resumption of the currently postponed 2020 season u It’s shaping as one of the

and hit with a sanction of “$5000 for drink driving and suspended fines totalling a further $15,000 for multiple other breaches”. He has opted to take full responsibility for the damage caused to all vehicles by compensating the owners to the tune of around $150,000. The 2018 Charles Sutton medallist will also undertake mandatory alcohol education counselling and community service.

biggest days in recent AFL history when League CEO Gillon McLachlan eventually outlines what the remainder of the 2020 season looks like. Assuming the AFL has clearance from government and health authorities to restart, the look and feel of the footy calendar will be like nothing we have experienced.

A mid-to-late July resumption appears the most likely outcome which means that one day in September will be that one – and only – day in December. But there is no alternative as the AFL grapples with the need to get clubs and players back playing as well as satisfy the requirements of broadcasters and corporate partners.

I’ve let down a lot of people LACHIE HUNTER

SEN’s Garry Lyon felt the punishment, while harsh, was vindicated for the actions undertaken. “I thought they (the Bulldogs) did a very good job, albeit they took their time, but there was no great rush,” he said. “They’re treating it with the severity and seriousness which it demands.” Hunter was remorseful for his actions and is quickly looking to atone for his mistakes.

This week Laurence Rosen looks at the likely scenarios and key dates for a return to play scenario as well crucial industry events such as the trade and free agency period and the 2020 NAB AFL Draft. There are a couple of givens reading the tea leaves over the past week or so. Fans will continue to be locked out but in the overall scheme of things

most fair-minded supporters would cop that; the other ‘given’ seems to be McLachlan’s strong stance that the 2021 season will not be compromised in order to make up lost financial ground from 2020. Enjoy what would have been Anzac Round and let’s continue to remember the enormous sacrifices those before us made. AFL.com.au     AFL RECORD  5

ONE WEEK at a TIME “I’d like to express my deepest apologies and regret for my actions,” he said in a statement. “I’m here to take full responsibility for what I did and the damages that I caused. I’ve let down a lot of people. “Hopefully over time, I can rebuild some of that trust.” Hunter is not the only misbehaving footballer though. Crows small forward Tyson Stengle was also cited for drink-driving when he was pulled over in an unregistered car in Adelaide. Stengle blew 0.125 and as a result has been banned for four matches and fined $2500. The incident took place more than a week before the Crows released a statement, a scenario that was criticised by SEN SA Breakfast’s Kane Cornes who expected more from the club’s new regime.

Anzac Day with a difference

A

nzac Round has become such an intrinsic part of the AFL calendar over the past 25 years. Indeed, Collingwood and Essendon would have been celebrating the 25th anniversary of the annual Anzac Day clash this Saturday. That very first match in 1995 produced an epic as the Magpies and Bombers played out a draw in front of 94,825 fans, with Sav Rocca booting nine goals for Collingwood. The 24 Anzac Day matches between the two powerhouse clubs have attracted just over two million fans in total at an average of almost 85,000 a game. Sadly, the MCG will be empty on Saturday as it will be on Friday night for what would have been the Anzac eve game between Melbourne and Richmond which has developed its own niche in recent years.

“It’s not good enough at all and they’ve failed the first test they’ve had when it comes to being more transparent with their fans,” he said. “They’ve made an error here. A big error really in terms of losing the trust with your supporters and the media.” However, it is believed Stengle did not inform the club until a couple of days later after being caught over the limit in an unregistered car. Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks told SEN SA that the club could have acted earlier. “In hindsight you look back, could we have come out with a short statement (when initially told)? We didn’t have a lot of information early and that is why we didn’t,” Nicks said. Nevertheless, both situations have been dealt with and the main positives are that no one was injured. The story will be pretty much the same right around the country as we deal with impact the coronavirus is having on everyday life. AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said it was important fans support the RSL in recognition of a different Anzac Day in 2020. “This year, the RSL’s message to the community is to find a way in your homes to light up the dawn, celebrate the Anzac spirit and support our veterans,” McLachlan said.

Anzac Day is not cancelled but it is different AFL CEO GILLON McLACHLAN

“The message to football fans and the wider community this year is that Anzac Day is not cancelled, but it is different. “The AFL, and its clubs, are encouraging all football fans to walk outside at 6am, stand in your yard, driveway, or on your balcony

Curnow curse strikes again

BETTER TIMES: Rising Carlton star Charlie Curnow is hoping for a change of luck after a spate of leg and knee injuries.

C

NIC NEGREPONTIS

harlie Curnow went into his fourth season of footy in 2019 looking poised for a breakout year. He gave Carlton fans a glimpse of that in a pre-season hit-out against Essendon, kicking an early goal and finding eight quick disposals. He then went down clutching his leg. He got away with what the Blues described a corked calf at the time, but it set the tone for what was to be a derailed season for the budding star. He recovered in time for the opening round and lasted a game-and-a-half before suffering the first of many knee injuries against Port Adelaide. Back in the side for round four, Curnow was then withdrawn late for round five with knee soreness before also sitting out round six. The knee concerns faded into the background for a couple of months when Curnow returned to the side in round seven, playing right through to the bye without an issue. It took him a couple of weeks to find his feet, but between rounds 10 and 13, he booted 14 goals and took 25 marks – including a bag of seven against the Bulldogs. Unfortunately for Curnow and the Blues, their post-bye trip west to take on Fremantle was where it all came undone. The key forward collided with a Fremantle opponent early in the game and suffered a low grade medial. He missed the remainder of the 2019 season, with the Blues opting to take a conservative approach with the youngster. However, Curnow did not get a clean run at the 2020 pre-season as he dislocated his knee in October playing recreational basketball with teammates.

It is feared he will sit out the season Issues snowballed from there, with Curnow then fracturing his kneecap in late November. A few quiet months followed before it was revealed that he was suddenly going to miss the first half of the season as the Blues decided once again to take it slowly. Curnow had wires and screws put inside his knee as part of his treatment, but that ultimately led to a further setback in the middle of April. Now it is feared he will sit out the entirety of the 2020 season, despite the postponement meaning we could potentially be playing through to December. The 23-year-old has played 58 career games to this point. Fellow key forward Eric Hipwood, who was taken in the same draft, has played 76 for the Brisbane Lions.

That gap will obviously widen when the season resumes. The Blues based their entire rebuild strategy back in 2015 around drafting key position players first, picking up Harry McKay and Jacob Weitering as well as Curnow in the first draft under Stephen Silvagni. Weitering has come along nicely and is developing into a reliable full-back. McKay has only managed 35 games, with Carlton holding him back in the VFL for a while and groin issues are now bothering him. Despite that, McKay has shown enough to suggest he should be a more than capable key forward and alongside Curnow, could form a dynamic duo for a decade.

SUPPORT FOR VIRGIN u The AFL has

thrown its support around long-term partner Virgin Australia as it enters voluntary administration. The airline, which is still operating some international and domestic flights, has been hit hard following the downturn in the travel industry due to COVID-19. AFL general manager of commercial Kylie Rogers said the League offered its full support to Virgin Australia. “Virgin Australia are a long-term partner of the AFL and supporter of all things footy. We will continue to work and support them through this challenging and unprecedented time,” Rogers said. “The team at Virgin Australia have taken our clubs, players, officials and fans to all parts of the world, and we can’t thank them enough for their continued dedication to our game.” Virgin Australia has been the official airline of the AFL for the past 10 years and is a partner of three League clubs – Carlton, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney. “Our partnership has been one of enormous mutual benefit,” Carlton CEO Cain Liddle said.

orth Melbourne midfielder Jasmine Garner has claimed the AFL Players Association MVP Award for the 2020 season. After making a name for herself as an All-Australian forward, Garner was moved into the midfield this season and elevated herself among the best players in the game. The 25-year-old averaged 20 disposals, 4.7 tackles, 4.6 marks and 4.1 inside 50s a game, while also booting eight goals and ranking second in the competition for score involvements. As part of a dynamic North Melbourne midfield quartet, Garner’s ability to impact the game with every disposal was arguably clearest in her ‘quietest’ game.

The rise and fall of the roaming umpire GRAHAM PILKINGTON

M

odern day AFL umpires are extremely fit and run long distances during a game, but for much of the history of Australian Football, they had it much harder. In fact, back in the 1860s there were no umpires. If an incident occurred and the players claimed a breach of the rules (hopefully not), the team captains conferred and reached a decision. But then again, when football first started in 1859, there were only ten rules, one of which was that “hacking” was not allowed. Hacking was the act of kicking an opponent in the shins as he ran by. As the game evolved, disputes must have become frequent. By 1866, each side had to appoint an umpire. The one nearest the play would decide on appeals for a free kick which were made by one or other of the captains. Dressed in street clothes, including hat, these umpires would have to run around on the large irregular shaped fields of the day: sometimes there was a distinct slope and long grass, and the grounds were very muddy in winter. Long kicking was an attractive unique feature of the game, but perhaps not for the umpire. For example, in July 1873 the Australasian said of a match between Melbourne and Carlton that the ball “… rested at neither end long, and the central umpire, Mr McClure, who performed his job satisfactorily, had his legs nearly run off in the course of the afternoon … the ball would be almost in an instant rushed from one end of the ground to the next.” In 1880, the famous Carlton player George Coulthard umpired a game wearing white clothes for the first time. As he also played in

one cricket test match for Australia and was an umpire in two other tests, perhaps it was an early example of grabbing the wrong sports bag when leaving home in a rush. White as the colour did not take over immediately. In July 1882, the Federal Australian reported: “The smart appearance of the central umpire, Mr O’Neill, created quite a sensation; and his costume, although an innovation on the usual style of dress adopted by umpires, is certainly an improvement, and adds, no doubt to the comfort and convenience of the wearer … The dress consisted of white knickerbockers, a pale coloured shirt, black stockings, and red and white cap.” (Mark Pennings, Origins of Australian Football, Vol.2). The game was increasing in popularity and a completely neutral official with sole decision-making power was deemed necessary. In 1883, a single umpire took charge and he was not to be appointed by either club. The game was speeding up with fast wingmen and play-on football on cricket grounds. Yet this sole umpire now had to roam the large field by himself as there were no

Back in the 1860s there were no umpires

boundary men. If the ball was kicked out of bounds, he had to chase after it and throw it in, often by holding the lace and slinging it towards the players. All this while wearing knickerbockers! In 1884, they were paid £1 ($2) a game, with 10 shillings for the goal umpire. Up to this point, despite large noisy crowds, the umpire had to convey his decisions by use of booming voice only. In 1886, leading official Jack Trait trialled an English made ebony whistle with instructions to blow it only when the ball went out of play. He became known as ‘The Prince of Umpires’, a title perhaps unlikely to be bestowed on one of today’s officials. Up until 1887, the umpire even had to carry a heavy pocket watch to check the playing times, and soon after, he was required to bounce the ball after every goal as well as at the start of quarters, adding to the physical strain. There was also the emotional strain of having to avoid the attentions of irate spectators when attempting to exit the field – often, it has to be said, from women using furled umbrellas as the weapon of choice. It is obvious that modern officials have it easy in comparison.

In an interview with Trait in 1893 in the Argus, it was put to him that there was an old saying that the umpire was the hardest-worked man of the “forty” (20 per team then), and he replied: “While the game is on I never think fatigue, but often collapse when the final bell rings.” How many umpires bother to collapse at the end of a game these days? Some help was at hand. In 1904, boundary umpires were at last employed (even though they had to punch the ball back in), but it was not until 1921 that the central umpire was relieved of the task of returning the ball to the centre after a goal. For many decades thereafter, this heroic sole umpire roamed all over the ground, running up many yards and miles with little assistance,

First kick is the goal for some GRAHAM PILKINGTON u Kicking a goal in an AFL game is hard enough, but how about doing it with your first ever kick? Somewhat surprisingly, it is not uncommon. The first player to do it was Jack Kirby for eventual premier Essendon in round 11, 1911, some 15 years after the formation of the VFL. Before start of this season, of the current 49 players who have achieved the feat, seven did it for Geelong, six for Adelaide (notably Taylor Walker), five in Richmond colours (including Trent Cotchin) and four with Essendon and Gold Coast.

often wading through cut up newspapers and streamers, as well as the mud baths and puddles of the old club grounds. He also had to sprint from fist fight to shoving match, physically separating the rowdy packs of players of the day. Wearing knickerbockers had long ended, and the look had become that of an over keen tennis player who had misplaced his racquet – but with the all-white outfit still reflecting the purity of the position. This was the peak of fame for the roaming umpire. The whole ground was his domain. In 1976, a significant change took place. Overnight, the workload was halved when a second umpire was introduced. By 1994 a third umpire was deemed necessary, and the ground was divided up into areas of responsibility. The glory

Not everyone on the all-time list are, or became, star AFL players but all would have great memories of the day. For example, Rino Pretto debuted for Fitzroy in 1978 when he came on in the last quarter and kicked a goal. It happened to be his only ever kick as he was back in the reserves the following week and was never selected again. Just to show what Fitzroy was missing, Pretto went on to score more than 1000 goals in the rival VFA competition. Chris Burgess was plucked from the SANFL as part of the priority access to state players given to Gold Coast and he rewarded the Suns’ faith by scoring in the first round of 2019. Some are just show-offs. Players (who will remain nameless) have scored goals with their first two kicks, and even with their first three, four or six kicks. Stephen Hill achieved it not only with his first for Fremantle but with the first kick of the entire round one match against the Western Bulldogs in 2009. Who allowed Mason Cox at Collingwood and Conor McKenna at Essendon to waltz into this country from the United States and Ireland respectively, and immediately boot our beautiful Sherrin through the middle, when they were used to a pointy pigskin or a round Gaelic football? The Cats only have two of those seven players still with them – Lachie Fogarty and Esava Ratugolea. The others are Travis Varcoe (now at Collingwood), George Horlin-Smith (Gold Coast), Jamaine Jones (West Coast), Mitch Brown (Melbourne) and Ryan Abbott (St Kilda). Daniel Menzel

days were over. To rub it in, large splashes of colour began appearing on the seemingly sacrosanct tight white shorts and shirts. Technology has shown how the modern-day field umpire fitted with a GPS device can run 14 to 15km during a game, so just imagine how far the old-time sole official would have covered in the much harder yards and miles of the day. After more than 100 years, the rise and fall of the roaming umpire was complete. This has only partially been alleviated for modern umpires by the satisfaction obtained in 2013 of becoming instant fashion icons when, with colours borrowed from the Cape Barren goose, they took the field dressed in lime green and grey. What would the “old timers” make of that?

and Shane Kersten also did it for Geelong and were playing at Sydney and Fremantle respectively last season. In addition, two of the Adelaide scorers are now at Geelong – Patrick Dangerfield and Josh Jenkins (who kicked his against the Cats). It is easier to achieve this feat than score with the last AFL kick. Notably, Dick Lee booted his 707th for Collingwood in its Grand Final loss to Fitzroy in 1922 and retired. Ben Rutten of Adelaide received an unselfish handball from Eddie Betts in his last game in 2014 and scored a goal with his final touch. Show-offs were to remain nameless, but it is only fair to record that Rutten also scored majors with his initial three kicks in the AFL. SOME RECORD: Ben Rutten kicked goals with his first three kicks and his last kick.

aster is a different experience to what it once was. It was a time when we would enjoy plenty of chocolate eggs or in my case Allen’s lollies (as I don’t eat chocolate). Gathering with immediate and extended family, sharing many great times around wood fires. And we are always preparing to take on Geelong on Easter Monday.

u As I mentioned last week, my sister lives around the corner and on Easter morning we woke to a big pile of eggs and Allen’s lollies at the front doorstep. I don’t mind this isolation thing! Home delivered hot cross buns on Good Friday morning and now this today … life’s pretty good. We feel lucky to have family so close, as many would be feeling high levels of loneliness over this period. It was a little disappointing that her grandparents couldn’t see Isla on her first Easter, but we Facetimed both sets with Isla returning many smiles.

Today, instead of all catching up in person, we had Zoom with my extended family. With two new additions since Christmas everyone was very excited. Drinks were flowing, lots of memories and many jokes, usually directed at the older members of the families. For instance, “I didn’t realise husband and wife had to social distance inside their own home” (directed at my aunty and uncle).

Cooking is one thing my mum is extremely good at. On Easter Sunday we would always enjoy delicious roasts for lunch and dinner. So, we decided that Jamu would provide weekend roasts, which proved to be very popular over the Easter weekend. Plenty of sweets consumed either side of the main meals (usually a self-saucing chocolate pudding with ice cream). But this year being in isolation, I had SPC spaghetti on toast. To finish off the day, boredom had taken its toll and as the sun was going down and the fire pit was lit, I did an outdoor gym session just for the sake of it.

There have been many articles about how to make yourself feel productive and mentally sound during isolation. I cleaned our spare bedrooms and made them a relaxing and productive space. It’s amazing by doing something so small you can feel a sense of achievement and mental relaxation. I jumped on Zoom again (gosh their share price must be doubling by the minute) and join in for a segment on Footy Classified. I was put on hold a tad longer than first thought, as Kane Cornes was struggling to connect to the feed. Maybe Adelaide is just a little behind.

TUESDAY, APRIL 14 (DAY 23) u Isolation has been busy enough with a baby, training and plenty to do with Jamu. Not having the internet hasn’t been a major issue but today is the day that NBN is being connected. After eight weeks of no internet, we can finally make unlimited Zoom calls and catch up on the F1 Drive to Survive and Amazon’s The Test . These documentaries are both brilliant, hopefully it’s something the AFL or clubs start to do. They not only follow the sport but more importantly they follow the person and the emotions around everything that happens.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15 (DAY 24) u Today is speed and acceleration day, and I have always put a big emphasis on these sessions. Speed is a key factor in how I perform. It is also important for all AFL footballers in preventing hamstring and calf injuries. Running at speed will condition these muscle groups for when we are able to get out on the field once again. As I arrived at Kevin Bartlett Oval, a weary middle-aged man came over and asked if I could help him to get his car going. I thought I would be of little assistance as the only thing I know about cars is make sure you kick the tyres before you purchase one. We ask another early morning exercise enthusiast to help push the car back up a little incline then, pushing it forward, he jump-started it. He has just worked a night shift – all he wants to do, he says, is get home and see his wife and kids.

if I would like to join him for a ride. Mountain bike riding is something I enjoyed before footy got serious but I’ve let slip over time. It was awesome to be back out on the bike on a crisp Melbourne morning. It’s times like these where you evaluate what really makes you happy. Friday is also a weekly Zoom with a group of boys from the club. Candice, who is an emergency nurse, decided to take over and thought it would be a good idea to inform the boys on injuries that often present to the emergency department. Keeping the body loose and flexible is important for injury prevention so Candice thought it would be a great idea to do a virtual yoga session together. Fair to say there were plenty of laughs.

Happy place

Candice and I have mentioned at home that even though physically we aren’t in contact with our families, we feel like we are connected as ever. My sister started a Zoom tonight and for more than three hours family members popped in and out of their screens with someone always filling the airwaves with chatter. We ask how everyone’s week has been and what activities they were planning over the weekend. Sadly, no Zoom conversation can be held without mention of the coronavirus.

Kindness of strangers

THURSDAY, APRIL 16 (DAY 25) u We always go for a long walk each day, enjoying the autumn tree-lined streets of Hawthorn and today we ended up at Barton Café for a takeaway coffee. On our journey we pass a house with a beautiful garden that we often admire for its many colourful flowers. As we were admiring the garden, Candice strikes up a conversation with an Italian woman who owns the property. She kindly cuts us a bunch of flowers that we take home and place in the dining room.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17 (DAY 26) u Training obviously doesn’t stop in times like this and I’m sure every AFL player is finding inventive ways to stay in shape. Cam Matthews, our player welfare manager, is an avid mountain biker and asks AFL.com.au     AFL RECORD  13

Another contender for Mark of the Year was this speccy in the last quarter of the 2017 Anzac Day blockbuster against Essendon, which drew 87,685 fans. Howe used the unfortunate Josh Green as a stepladder to complete his grab and all Green could do was his put his arms up, almost in surrender. Although the Magpies lost by 18 points, Howe was one of his side’s best with 30 possessions. PHOTO: MICHAEL DODGE/AFL PHOTOS @AFL

AFL debut for Collingwood in front of more than 85,000 people at the MCG on Anzac Day four years ago read like a film script straight out of Hollywood. The then 25-year-old took up Australian Football in 2014, yet showed the aplomb of a veteran as he coolly slotted the first goal of the match with a precise drop punt. And his teammates were elated, charging in from all directions to show their appreciation. Cox revealed later that he was ‘petrified’ but it didn’t show in the way he attacked the game, finishing with 10 disposals and three marks. The big man has gone on to play 59 games and has kicked 79 goals. PHOTO: MICHAEL DODGE/AFL PHOTOS @MICHAELCWILLSON

HUGHIE JAMES AFL FROM RECORD THE

VAULT 2017

No other League footballer achieved more distinctions in World War I than Richmond great Hughie James. Twice recognised for his brave leadership in battle, wounded three times and also falsely rumoured to have been killed in action, his is a fascinating story of courage under fire.

Ben Collins ughie James gave everything for both Richmond Football Club and his country. Two premierships, club champion status and a stint as captain are proof of his Tiger devotion, while a Military Cross and Bar earned for acts of bravery 100 years ago stand testament to James’ fierce patriotism. The irresistibly likeable, ever-smiling Tiger of old died 50 years ago – two days before Anzac Day in 1967 – but his family continues to give. It’s the morning after Richmond thrashed old enemy Carlton in the season-opener at the MCG and we’re just a few hundred metres away in the victor’s lair at Punt Rd Oval. Margaret-Anne Faulds (one of James’ six grandchildren) and her mother Marion James (James’ widowed daughter-in-law who was married to his only son Laurie) have made a special trip to the Tigers’ museum to donate a vase bearing the inscription:

‘TO HUGHIE JAMES, IN APPRECIATION OF HIS YEOMAN SERVICE TO “THE TIGERS” ESPECIALLY SEASON 1923. FROM E.H. KING, VICE PRES.’

Both women have travelled a long way to be here on this warm March day. They hail from Wellington, New Zealand, where James spent the last 35 years of his life, and where Marion James still resides. Her daughter moved across the ditch to Sydney some years back after marrying an Aussie. Neither are AFL fans, so they are pleasantly surprised by the reverence in which James is still held at Tigerland. They describe him as kind, charismatic and a great people person – qualities that partly explain why The Argus’ ‘Old Boy’ in 1934 hailed James as “one of the most popular men who ever played”. “The family is immensely proud of Papa,” Faulds said. “But he was so understated – he never lived off his past successes. I don’t think he even saw them as exceptional. He always lived for the now and the future.”

Sharing their pride is Jack James, who was born a month before his uncle Hughie’s last game in 1923. From a retirement village in Keilor, the 93-year-old said: “I was rapt that he was my uncle – for everything he achieved, but mainly because he was just a very good man.” Born on May 4, 1890, John Hugh ‘Hughie’ James was the eldest of four brothers – the others being Arthur (Jack’s father), Laurie (Marion’s husband and Margaret-Anne’s father) and Keith – born in the Gippsland region before the family relocated to the Essendon district. The siblings formed their own building business, Jack James revealed, in which all-rounder Hughie looked after the paperwork, Arthur was the chief bricklayer and Laurie was the carpenter. Hughie was the only James boy to play League football, but that dream appeared in tatters when, at 17, he was discarded by his local VFA club Essendon Town. Not surprisingly, James later relished every victory against Essendon’s VFL side. afl.com.au | AFL RECORD | 19

After a stint with VFA rival Preston, James quickly established himself with fledgling VFL club Richmond, where he became one of the great ruckmen of the League’s early years. Though a poor kick – a source of much mirth at Tigerland – James compensated with superb high marking, deft tapwork, toughness and composure. Richmond struggled pre-war, but The Sporting Globe’s renowned scribe Hec de Lacy later noted that James “stood out for the quiet good-fellowship he engendered”, adding that “it was his infectious confidence that carried the Tigers” through their infancy. Praised as the League’s fairest and most popular player because of his “many fine and manly qualities”, James showed rare sportsmanship in a close game against Essendon. After Richmond scored a behind, the ball returned from the crowd with a puncture. The Dons full-back kicked it towards the field umpire hoping for a replacement, only for a Tiger to pounce for a crucial goal. An indignant James demanded, unsuccessfully, that the goal be removed from his team’s score. “Nobody is keener to beat Essendon

than I am,” he told teammates, “but I won’t have a win as the result of an honest mistake like that.” A mistake could have denied James his chance to serve his country. When he went to enlist in Melbourne in January 1916, he was initially rejected for failing an eyesight test. Suspecting a mix-up, James sat another test on the other side of the street and was accepted. “I thought it was up to me to do my share,” James told The Argus. “You see, I’m young and in good condition. And who knows? I might be on the ball again in a season or two.” James’ enlistment papers note that both of his knees bore scars, which would soon be joined by battle scars. Then 25, he left behind his wife Ethel and baby daughter Sylvia. Two of his brothers – Arthur, 22, and Laurie, 20 – had already seen action overseas. (Keith had been too young to enlist.) Continuing a life pattern of making an impression wherever he went, within weeks Private Hughie James was promoted to lieutenant. Over a few drinks with his army pals while training in England, James also came up with the idea of staging an exhibition match in London, which came to fruition in October 1916. The famous event – in which James starred in a victory for the Third Division against the Training Units – helped boost morale among Aussie troops before being sent to the Western Front. The next month James left for France and he’d recall that on January 4, 1917, he’d been “right

near” his Third Division football captain Bruce Sloss – the South Melbourne star – when Sloss “got it” from the Germans. A week later, folks back home thought James had also “got it” when a rumour circulated that he’d been killed. The rumour, which provoked “expressions of regret” around Melbourne, became so strong that Hughie’s father John James and cousin Charles Moore rushed to the Base Records Office in St Kilda Rd for clarification. They were relieved to be informed there had been no word of Hughie’s demise. Just to make sure, a cable was sent to the London headquarters, which replied: “James well at latest.” The next week the Richmond Guardian reported James was “very much alive, thank you”, denouncing the “fool” who’d started the “senseless” scuttlebutt. James was, however, lucky to escape the war with his life, despite proving as cool in battle as he was on the football field. A valued member of the 3rd Pioneer battalion – a construction unit largely engaged in digging trenches, building bridges and

repairing roads – James was, according to a young ‘Richmondite’ in a letter home, “just as popular here as he was in Richmond”. That popularity was enhanced when James won a Military Cross for his efforts near the Belgian village of Messines on June 7 and 8, 1917. He was officially honoured “for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in reconnoitering and repairing a road and constructing a bridge over a river under heavy shell fire. His gallantry under the most trying circumstances was a fine example, and inspired his men with the greatest confidence.” When James’ honour was later announced at Richmond’s annual general meeting, an old member declared: “I knew he’d do it!” Melbourne newspaper The Winner added: “All who know him will realise that he has fully earned it, and trust that still more distinctions will come his way.” They were prophetic words. But first, James suffered three gunshot wounds on two separate dates just six months apart. At Passchendaele, Belgium, in October 1917, he received a minor wound to his right arm, but remained on duty and didn’t seek medical treatment until the next day. A month later, his wife received a letter that started ominously – “Dear Madam, I regret to advise you …” – before revealing her husband had been “wounded slightly”. The next time – on the killing fields of the Somme, France, in April 1918 – James copped “mild” gunshot wounds to his upper right arm and lower back, requiring a stint in a London hospital. Undeterred, just four months later James displayed remarkable bravery to be rewarded with a Bar to his Military Cross. The distinctions were earned just 14 months apart and made him the most decorated League footballer of World War I. In the early hours of August 22, 1918, James had led an attack near the French town of Bray “with great gallantry and skill” against a strongly held German line. His platoon suffered many casualties but James, despite being exposed to constant fire, continually walked up and down the line directing and encouraging his men until they were dug in. The Third Division commander reported that “it was only (James’) courage, cheerful disposition and total disregard of danger” that ensured the operation’s success. After driving his men to their objective, James then oversaw

the capture of 30 German troops. He proved “an inspiration to all ranks” and was “worthy of every recognition, especially as this is the first time that he or his men had been in a direct attack on any position”. James’ brothers weren’t so fortunate – Arthur (Jack James’ father) was gassed and died from related health issues at just 45 in 1939, while Laurie suffered a worse fate. Affectionately known as ‘Lol’, he was just 22 when slain at Proyart, France, on August 26, 1918 – just four days after Hughie had earned the Bar to his MC. On the one-year anniversary of Laurie’s death, Hughie placed a verse in The Argus that fondly recalled a man who was “always happy and cheerful, with a heart that knew no fear”. As a more lasting tribute, he later named his only son Laurie. “(Hughie) never spoke about the war,” Marion James said. “None of them did. And we weren’t about to ask.” Just eight days after being discharged from the army, James resumed his League career with Richmond in round 12, 1919. Astonishingly, given his age (29) and all that he’d endured, the battle-scarred hero became an even better footballer post-war. James hadn’t played a final before the war, but on return was one of the Tigers’ best in three successive Grand Finals, including their first

flags in 1920-21. He was named club champion in the latter season. James’ other monumental contribution to Richmond had been to recruit his army mate Dan Minogue, the former Collingwood captain who led the Tigers to those early triumphs. Minogue later described James as “a sportsman and a gentleman, if ever there was one”. Following James’ retirement at 33 in 1923 after 188 games, he had brief stints as a committeeman and selector. His life took another fascinating turn in 1932 when the owner of a waterproof clothing business, for whom James had done some building works, asked him to run the firm’s new factory in Wellington. James knew nothing about the industry, but he embraced the challenge, proving such a success that he bought a distinctive left-hand-drive Cadillac. After initially relocating to the New Zealand capital alone, James was joined a year or so later by his wife and three children. “His three children adored him – he was a great entertainer and a great talker,” Faulds said. Sport remained a constant, with James playing cricket, tennis, golf and, in his latter years, bowls. He’d also watch his son Laurie play rugby union before rushing home to listen to VFL games on the radio. Soon after moving to New Zealand, James mailed his Richmond life membership card to his young nephew Jack, a keen Tigers fan. “I used that card for the next 30-odd years!” Jack James recalled. James did his bit for Anzac relations as a long-serving president of the Wellington Returned and Services’ Association. He also did much charity work for blind ex-servicemen. A lifelong smoker, James died from lung cancer just short of his 77th birthday. Faulds, who was just five at the time, reflected: “I worked in the area where Papa had lived and when people realised my surname was James, they’d ask, ‘Are you any relation of Hughie James?’ “He was such a big character and he was so well known and so well liked.” @bencollocollins

ob Gaylard has always been conscious of the old journalistic credo to simply report the story and not become part of it. But the veteran media presenter has been drawn into this story; and it’s quite a yarn – one of football’s worst wartime tragedies. For Gaylard – the former Channel Nine sports newsreader – it all began in 2001 when he received a phone call from Geelong Football Club. The Cats had just selected their Team of the Century, which included (on a half-back flank) the late great Joe Slater, whose next of kin, the club had established, was Gaylard. And the Cats wanted Gaylard to represent Slater at the event. All of which came as a shock to Gaylard, who’d never heard of Slater, let alone their family connection. This isn’t surprising given the passage of time – Slater played the last of his 108 games for Geelong way back in 1914 and was killed in World War I in 1917 – and their distant link in a complex family tree. Gaylard’s great-uncle Alexander Gaylard had married Alice ‘Queenie’ Slater (Joe’s older half-sister) in 1909. It’s also said that the Gaylards played a significant role in Joe Slater’s upbringing. (Rob Gaylard is also vaguely connected to two of Slater’s star teammates, Henry ‘Tracker’ Young and ‘Ike’ Woods, both of whom married Gaylard girls.) “The family link to Joe Slater is so distant that we feel a bit like imposters becoming his family representatives, but we were delighted to find out that there’s a hero in the clan – and we’ve certainly adopted him,” Gaylard told the AFL Record when we caught up with him and his wife Karen at their property in Lara, 17km north of Geelong. “Joe’s story is endearing and we’re in awe of what he achieved in his short life as a sportsman, as a soldier and as a person. And we’re proud that his legacy continues to this day.” May 3 will mark 100 years since Slater’s supreme sacrifice, which proved a devastating blow to Geelong (both the city and the football club) and the game. Indeed, Peter Burns – the South Melbourne and Geelong legend who, as Geelong timekeeper, saw all of Slater’s games – decades later declared that “had he been spared, (Slater) would have revolutionised Australian Football and gone down

as the greatest player our game has produced”. Joseph Henry Slater was the only product of the marriage of Henry Slater (a middle-aged English widower) and Diana Reynolds, and was born on November 29, 1888, in Ballarat. The Slaters soon settled in Geelong where young Joe was well educated at Geelong College and became a sporting prodigy. Slater’s greatest love was football, but he also became the Australian 220-yard (200m) champion and the Victorian 110-yard champ, and occasionally ran in sprint races at half-time of Geelong games he was playing. Slater was also a talented cricketer, impressing with his fast bowling for a Geelong team against the touring Englishmen at Corio Oval in 1912. By then, he was a football superstar.

After shining for United Methodists in the local churches competition, Slater made his VFL debut at 17 in 1906, just four months after the death of his 71-year-old father. He developed into a 179cm and 86kg dynamo whom Burns hailed as “the finest material I ever saw in football togs”. Sport newspaper observed that Slater could dominate in “any position on the field … there are few better all-round players than Joe Slater”. In 1936, legendary player and coach Jack Worrall deemed Slater one of the best centremen he’d seen, while The Sporting Judge believed he “had no peer” at half-back. The greatest Geelong player of his era and a notable omission from the Australian Football Hall of Fame, Slater used his pace and power to great effect and earned rave reviews for his overhead marking and wonderful kicking. He once goaled with a booming drop kick from near the centre at Punt Rd Oval – an estimated distance of almost 80m. In 1912, the Geelong Advertiser published a fan’s poem that included the line: “an ancient Gladiator would not scorn to be a Slater”. afl.com.au | AFL RECORD | 25

The single blemish on Slater’s League career was a brief fallout with Geelong in 1913 when he relocated to Melbourne for work (he was an accountant) and the club refused to clear him to the Redlegs (now Demons). Slater instead became honourary playing coach of Hawthorn (then in the metropolitan association) and showed great courage in one game to play on with a broken collarbone and lead his team to victory. (The Hawks also claim Slater as one of their war dead.) To the relief of Geelong fans, Slater soon gained employment as the manager of a printing and stationary company in his hometown and resumed his League career, playing out the 1913-14 seasons. In this period, Slater experienced highs and lows in his personal life, celebrating his engagement to local girl Nellie Wigley, and also mourning the death of his half-sister Queenie Gaylard at just 34, leaving behind a young daughter. Of course, more heartache would follow for Slater’s widowed mother, who lived with her only son in Swanston St, Geelong. When World War I broke out, duty called for Slater who, having already

served 11 years in the citizens’ forces, entered the 22nd Battalion, D Company, as a lieutenant. On April 27, 1915 – two days after the disastrous Anzac landings at Gallipoli – Slater was among 150 soldiers to be given a big public send-off in Geelong. The Geelong mayor told the masses he was pleased to see “that grand and noble footballer, Lieutenant Joe Slater”. In response, Slater said the troops would long remember the occasion and vowed they would fulfil their patriotic duty. Slater served at Gallipoli for two months towards the end of the ill-fated campaign before suffering tonsillitis, rheumatism and diphtheria, which laid him low for three months. Slater’s letters home to Geelong secretary Charles Brownlow, published in the Geelong Advertiser, reveal an articulate man. “The constant strain of watching and the shelling leaves its mark. You get broken sleep, at the most four hours on a stretch,” Slater wrote from Gallipoli. He reported that Fitzroy’s 1913 premiership player Artie Harrison had been “hit”, while Geelong teammate Leo ‘Dodo’ Healy’s

“leg gave way, and dysentery took him rather badly”. (Harrison and two other League players in the 22nd Battalion were later killed the same day and place as Slater.) Slater also came close to grief at Gallipoli: “I had two swims this week, and one was not too comfortable; the shrapnel was too close for pleasure.” He was surprised a troublesome knee hadn’t buckled on steep hill climbs, and was “very fit, but would not care to do four quarters in the ruck”. Throughout his sporting career, Slater had been a non-drinker and non-smoker, but trench life had turned him into “a great pipe smoker”. He expressed appreciation for gifts, including copies of The Football Record (which he circulated among “the boys”) and mouth organs that ensured “the trenches now fairly ring

with sketches of favourite songs and comic operas”. Slater rose to the rank of captain within 10 months of enlistment and was praised by a soldier as “one of the most popular officers in the Battalion”. Sent to the Western Front in France in early 1916, Slater briefly served as the chief instructor of an Anzac bomb school and as the commander of a bombing division. British commander Sir Douglas Haig mentioned him in dispatches for “distinguished and gallant conduct and devotion to duty in the field”, and “for conspicuously good service as Divisional Bomb Officer and for exceptionally good work during operations at Pozieres in July and August 1916. This officer is keen and capable, and his services have been of benefit to the Division.” Through it all, Slater understood the daily peril of life on the frontline. When he learned the Australian people voted against conscription, he lamented it as “rather a solid slap to us. It means we have to go into the trenches time after time, whether fit or otherwise”. And French battlefields had become hellscapes, as Slater noted on March 23, 1917, in what was possibly his final letter. “I have been in the fore of things and have passed through scenes that I never in my wildest dreams thought to see … “I went through one town about the size of Geelong with the buildings burning on each side, and roads blocked with fallen houses. “All the trees in the orchards were simply sawn through – pure wantonness … “If only I could get away with all the various souvenirs I see lying about I would have an interesting collection.” This wanton destruction claimed Slater’s life just six weeks later, on the first day of the Second Battle of Bullecourt. Around 5pm on May 3, 1917, Captain Slater was leading D Company when he was struck by shrapnel. The 28-year-old was taken into a shell-hole where he was relieved of his equipment, and was on his way to a dressing station when he was hit again, by machine-gun or shell fire, or both. One witness reported Slater had been wounded and became entangled in barbed wire, while another stated that the death blow

drilled “a big hole right through the body”. Private Frank Hancock revealed: “I went out next night to try and find his body with some other men, but we could not find anything except one of his boots.” When news of Slater’s demise circulated back home, the Geelong Advertiser reported that “a feeling of profound sorrow passed over Geelong”. This proved the inspiration for the line in local musician Vin Healy’s 2013 song Joe Slater: “The town he loved couldn’t bare what they learned.”

Slater’s mother, now childless, “bore her grief with heroic fortitude”. Mrs Slater placed a death notice proudly declaring that her son had “died as he had lived, a soldier and a man”, signing off as his “loving and lonely mother”. It’s said that when Geelong fans heard about the tragedy as they walked to a game at Corio Oval, many returned home to mourn. Rob Gaylard: “Not many players would have had that impact on a club.” Geelong players showed their respects in their next game by wearing black crepe armbands. Slater’s fiancée Nellie – a career nurse who joined the Australian Army Nursing Service and served in England, France and Germany – was aboard a ship to join the war effort when her husband-to-be was killed. Sister Wigley lived to the age of 57 and never married. On the anniversaries of her lost love’s death, she often placed notices in newspapers, including: “In remembrance of my dearest fiancé … deeply mourned.” The returned men of Slater’s unit submitted this verse to The Argus: “He gave the appointed signal / Valiant he led / Into the thick of the fighting / Where his gallant life was shed / He led his men oft in the football field / And he led in the sterner test.” Slater’s legacy was further honoured via the J. H. Slater Memorial Cup annual amateur sprint race, which in the 1920s and ’30s was run annually at half-time of Geelong home games; and Slater Square, an open public space just a few hundred metres north of GMHBA Stadium. When Slater Square was unveiled in 2013, Cats CEO Brian Cook said Slater “epitomised all that was great about the club, the game and indeed the patriotism of his time”. Slater has no known grave, but is commemorated at the Villers-Bretonneux memorial. Two years ago, Rob and Karen Gaylard made a “very humbling” pilgrimage to the site. “In this beautifully maintained place where once there’d been such horrible carnage, all of a sudden you find this name that you’ve travelled halfway around the world to see,” Gaylard said. “I obviously never knew Joe, but it certainly brought a tear to the eye.” @bencollocollins

O Loughlin living the

dream

Michael O’Loughlin had doubts whether he was good enough to play one AFL game let alone 300, but the man they call ‘Magic’ has done just that and much, much more in a glittering 15-season career. On the eve of his remarkable achievement and just weeks before taking his final bow, the Sydney Swans veteran reflects on an amazing journey. JIM MAIN

MICHAEL O’LOUGHLIN – 300 GAMES

tatistics alone give Michael O’Loughlin legendary status with the Sydney Swans, but as impressive as his numbers and honours are, there is much more to his achievement of becoming the first to wear the red and white in 300 AFL games. When O’Loughlin breaks the banner before the MCG match against Richmond this weekend, he will be doing what has become habit over the past 15 years. “I pinch myself every day,” he said earlier this week. “I could only dream of playing at this level when I was a kid and, even when I was drafted by the Swans (as the No. 40 selection in 1994), I was worried whether I would make the grade.” The 32-year-old will retire at the end of the season with a swag of awards and honours, including a premiership medallion from 2005, but acknowledges the seeds for his success were sown when growing up in the Adelaide suburb of Salisbury North. One of six children (five boys and a girl), his parents Muriel and Alex guided him clear of trouble in what O’Loughlin described as a “pretty tough area”. O’Loughlin’s mother came from the Narunga Aboriginal community on the York Peninsula, while his father was from another indigenous community near Murray Bridge. The O’Loughlin surname came from “a great, great grandfather with Irish connections”. The “pretty tough area” in Adelaide represented challenges for the O’Loughlins in raising their children. “You had to be street smart to survive and some kids did get into trouble, but my mother was a great AFL RECORD visit aflrecord.com.au 33

role model and always wanted to know where I had been whenever I came home late,” O’Loughlin said. “She always kept a close eye on me.” Like most youngsters in football-mad Adelaide, O’Loughlin started kicking a ball around at a young age and played with brothers, cousins and mates in impromptu 15-a-side matches at a park near his home. From there, he played with the Salisbury North club, where he found another role model in Gavin Wanganeen, who later won a Brownlow Medal with Essendon (1993) and captained Port Adelaide. “I saw what ‘Wangas’ did and I wondered when he went to play in the SANFL (with the Port Magpies) and then to Essendon whether I could reach those levels,” O’Loughlin said. He did, starting by breaking into the South Australian Teal Cup team (the state-based under-17 carnival now replaced by the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships) while playing with Central District. However, he found it difficult to produce his best. Yes, he admitted, there was an element of laziness in his football. But he explained he found it strange to have so many coaches, so much advice and a mountain of pressure. “I was sort of floating around for a while,” O’Loughlin said. Despite this harsh selfassessment, O’Loughlin attracted the attention of at least two AFL clubs – the Swans and Carlton. O’Loughlin barracked for the Blues, but Sydney nominated him just one selection before Carlton. “It was a bit of a shock, but I just wanted the chance to play in the AFL, so I was more than happy,” he said. “I used to watch Swans games on television and they always seemed to get beaten, but that’s all I knew about the club. “When I moved there a couple of days after the draft, it was like stepping into a whole new world. Pre-season certainly was a shock and I wondered whether I would be able to cope with the running and weight work. “Fortunately, I was able to see what was required of me through pretty good team leaders in Paul Kelly and Mark Bayes.

NERVOUS STARTER: When he broke into the Sydney Swans line-up in 1995,

Michael O’Loughlin was content to play one game, much less 300.

“I also joined the Swans with a strong group of other young players, including Shannon Grant and Anthony Rocca, and we helped each other. “But, best of all, my arrival in Sydney coincided with the recruitment of Tony Lockett and Paul Roos, which allowed younger guys like myself to move under the radar.” The 18-year-old O’Loughlin had an outstanding debut season in 1995 and, in just his second season, the Swans reached the Grand Final for the first time since 1945 (when they lost to Carlton). Sydney went down to North Melbourne but O’Loughlin, with all the confidence of youth, believed the red and white would be in the big one again – and win it – before too long. “I didn’t realise that you don’t automatically get second chances in football,” O’Loughlin said. “I might have been distraught in defeat, but the older guys in the team took it a hell of a lot harder because they knew they probably would not get another chance.”

O’Loughlin was fortunate to get another opportunity when the Swans played West Coast in 2005. This time they won, by four points, to break the club’s 72-year premiership drought. “It obviously was a fantastic feeling, but was made all the more special because our supporters had waited so long,” he said. “The club had been in so many holes, yet always managed to dig itself out and survive. I feel very honoured to have played in that premiership side.” This might be the highlight of O’Loughlin’s football career, but he acknowledges there is a close second among his raft of achievements. “Being named in the Indigenous Team of the Century in 2005 will always mean the world to me,” he said. “When they called my name out at full-forward at the function in Melbourne I was just blown away. “To be recognised with all the great indigenous players made

Like many AFL players, Michael O’Loughlin takes an interest in other sports, with basketball his favourite. “I played basketball before I played football and loved it. I think it’s great for helping develop your peripheral vision and decision-making,” O’Loughlin said. “(Swans coach) Paul Roos reckons he was the best junior basketballer in Victoria and then he decided to give footy a go,” O’Loughlin said with a laugh. “It’s a fantastic game. I’ll be encouraging my kids to play it.” O’Loughlin arrived at AFL House recently for a photo shoot with the AFL Record wearing a Boston Celtics cap, although he also has an affinity for the Chicago Bulls. “I’m actually a Bulls fan from the (Michael) Jordan days. But I love watching Kevin Garnett play,” he said. “I’ve followed his career through from his time at Minnesota and he helped Boston to an NBA title last year.”

me feel truly blessed. And best of all, (Swans teammate) Adam Goodes also was named in the team (at centre half-back).” With O’Loughlin’s retirement just weeks away, the Swans will be left with just one indigenous player – Goodes, who is set to play his 249th game this weekend. “‘Goodsey’ and I have been getting into the ear of

SNAPSHOT OF A GREAT CAREER:

Michael O’Loughlin has played in a premiership side, been adored by fans (well, maybe not some West Coast supporters) and been an inspiration to his family and the indigenous community.

one or two blokes to draft some indigenous players,” he said jokingly. Despite O’Loughlin’s list of achievements, he insisted on praising those who helped him achieve goals which were once beyond his wildest imagination. “I have had good coaches,” he stressed. “Rodney Eade gave me the confidence when I was up and down early in my career and even told me that, no matter how my form might slide, he would not drop me. He had faith in me and I hope I responded to his encouragement. “Then, under Paul Roos, I had to regain confidence because of knee and hamstring injuries. We sat down and he told me that as long as I did all the fitness work I would be OK. I don’t think too many coaches would be as supportive as ‘Roosy’ has been with me.” O’Loughlin will bow out of the game with “no regrets”. “How could I regret anything in my career?” he said. “I would have considered myself fortunate if I had played just a few games, but to play 300 is very, very special, especially for a club I love so much, the Bloods.” O’Loughlin explained that the ethos of the Bloods was as strong as ever, despite the club’s slide this season after playing in the past six finals series. “It is instilled into every player new to the club and you don’t get to wear the guernsey until you earn the right to,” he said. “We tell them, ‘This is what we expect of you’ or, if you like, hand them the blueprint of what we expect of them on and off the field. We teach them the history of the club and of the fabulous players who have worn our guernsey over so many years.

“The club doesn’t expect to field a team of 22 Paul Kellys or Brett Kirks, but all players must do their bit to the best of their ability.” No doubt future generations of Swans players will be told of O’Loughlin’s feats, and future teams without the magical skills he has put on show for 15 seasons will not seem the same. But O’Loughlin acknowledged his time was up. “I wish I could play for ever, but the body is not the same as it used to be,” he said. “I had major surgery on my right foot over summer and there is no flexibility in that foot because of the pins and screws they had to insert.” O’Loughlin has new horizons he aims to walk towards with partner Emma and their daughter Taya (three) and son James (20 months). He is looking forward to a life of quiet domesticity while keeping a close eye on the Swans and, perhaps, lending a helping hand when requested. O’Loughlin has no immediate plans to coach and, instead, will direct his energies to the new O’Loughlin Foundation in aid of indigenous health and education.

O’Loughlin, enormously proud of his Aboriginal heritage, wants to help his community and show its youngsters what can be achieved through hard work, dedication and discipline. “I have had 15 years in the best place in the world, at the heart of the Sydney Swans Football Club. I was a boy who grew into a man at this club and if I can help others achieve their goals, I will be further blessed.” FOOTNOTE  O’Loughlin stayed true to his word and retired at the end of 2009 after playing 303 games and kicking 521 goals. He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2015 and has held coaching roles with the AFL Academy, on top of business interests and supporting indigenous education.

VAULT 2009

Walking the talk He’s football’s most flamboyant figure, brilliant and exhilarating on the field; brash and opinionated off it. But on the eve of his 300th game, Jason Akermanis reveals the public perceptions of him can be misleading. BEN COL LINS

T

JASON AKERMANIS: 300 GAMES

he weather outside is much like the man – brisk, breezy and punctuated by plenty of grey areas. In an otherwise vacant auditorium at Whitten Oval’s Elite Learning Centre, Jason Akermanis appears comfortable in his skin. And why wouldn’t he be? On the eve of his 300th AFL game, the 32-year-old continues to belie the notion that this is likely to be his last season (he likes to think the door is “slightly ajar”), averaging 20 touches, two goals and four tackles in his seven appearances to be among the Western Bulldogs’ best-performed players. He’s rapt he has himself in his own Dream Team. However, Akermanis is decidedly uncomfortable with certain public perceptions that paint him as – well, let’s not

beat around the bush – an arrogant, self-centred big-mouth who places his own interests before those of the team. The infinite value of ‘Aker’ the player has never been questioned. A Brownlow Medal. Two best and fairests in star-studded Brisbane Lions’ sides. Stunning incarnations as a dashing defender, prolific midfielder and a damaging forward capable of drilling goals from any angle, with either foot, any distance up to 60 metres. And who could forget him snapping the winning goal against Collingwood in the 2002 Grand Final. Or bagging five goals in a brilliant display against the Pies the next year? Indeed, he’s an all-time great, and seemingly a certainty to one day be inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. But for most of this decade,

questions have been raised about the wisdom of his typically forthright comments in his various media roles in television, radio and print. Despite what many people naturally assume, Akermanis does care about what other people think, and is somewhat concerned about the potential for what he regards as inaccurate perceptions of him as a person to overshadow his playing career. It’s one of many surprising contradictions in a man who has variously intrigued, exhilarated, frustrated, angered and always entertained people with his bigger-than-Texas persona. When told that this story would attempt to portray something of his personality and get inside his mind, he was enthusiastic: “Well no one has done it yet. People are too quick to box others into categories without finding out exactly what makes them tick.

That’s people for you. But you can’t box me.” Thankfully, he doesn’t mean ‘box’ in the physical sense, because he looks so sharp, fit and compact that he’d surely evade the best that came at him before landing the inevitable knockout blow. He is keen to knock perceptions on the head, though. There is an urgency within. “I’ve got one chance left to educate people about who I am,” he says. “If, at the end of it all, they still think I’m an idiot, that’s fine.” Akermanis is no idiot – at least not in the sense of pure intelligence. He speaks fluent Spanish and apparently has an IQ in the mid-130s – so, too, does his wife Megan, a speech therapist – which is believed to place them among the top few per cent of the population. When quizzed about it, Akermanis simply says: “Hey, don’t spoil

MAKING A POINT: While everyone

might have an opinion on Jason Akermanis, the man himself says he doesn’t care what others think – he just gets the job done.

the illusion. I’m happy for people to think I’m an idiot.” However, he is not happy about the “massive misconception” that he is a shameless individual. But he doesn’t become aggressive. He speaks – and obviously thinks – at a mile-a-minute, but all the while exudes a friendly, matter-of-factness. “Over the journey,” he explains, “I’ve given more to the group, more inside the club, more to the game than most, and been part of successful teams, yet you get lumped with that perception. “Am I missing something here? Do people think that success was just a fluke? You still need to work well with people around you. “To get to 300 games, you have to be doing a lot of things right consistently. You don’t get there by being selfish and undisciplined. No one could ever say I didn’t get the most out of myself.”

Tact is not my strength, but I actually think my biggest strength is dealing with people

MANY FACES: As these photographs suggest, Jason Akermanis loves to play the role of showman. PHOTOS: LACHLAN CUNNINGHAM/AFL PHOTOS

Asked if he is the type of teammate he would like to play alongside: he says: “Absolutely. If you ever question a player’s influence on others, look at his goal assists, tackles and defensive pressure. Most weeks I’m one of our best defensive players, and that was the case through the good years in Brisbane.

“And off the field, I always treat my teammates better than they treat me. I’ve played with blokes you would physically have to stop to get them to acknowledge you – they wouldn’t give you the time of day because they just didn’t know how.” Akermanis is resigned to the fact he will never change the perceptions of some people. It doesn’t annoy him though. As he says several times during the course of a 40-minute interview, “That’s life.” “What people think of me is none of my business,” he says. “Unless you get on the inside and see what it’s all about, you’ll never know the truth. It’s easy to comment from afar and throw stones, but often you’ll be wrong and you’ll just look like a fool.” Akermanis doesn’t suffer fools. He inherited his brutal honesty from his late mother, Shona, who raised Jason and younger brother Rory on her own. It was a tough upbringing. “Women are notorious for talking a lot and communicating,” Akermanis says, “and you often find that kids who are raised by single mums tend to be talkative because the dad’s influence isn’t there. “Even though it hurt Mum at times to be so honest and open, she ENTERTAINER: Handstands used to be ‘Aker’s’ postgame trademark, but he now rarely obliges.

had to be like that because she had to do both roles.” Honesty is perhaps Akermanis’ best and worst trait. Sometimes he simply can’t help himself. “It doesn’t win me many friends, but it gets things done,” he says. “Tact is not my strength, but I actually think my biggest strength is in dealing with people. “No one likes criticism. You can wrap it up in a pretty bow if you like. Or you can say: ‘Listen. Clearly we’ve got an issue here.’ In the long run, if you’re honest and you’re on the mark, people always will respect you for it. They cannot not respect you for it.” Akermanis believes he has ‘walked the talk’. “I think that will stick in people’s minds more than anything,” he says. “As long as you back it up, who cares? “I’ve singled out players a few times – I’ve picked my mark – when no one had really done it before. “We’re in the entertainment industry. I think it makes it more enjoyable watching football if someone has said: ‘Hey man, I’m going to take this guy on and beat him.’ It’s better than hearing boring stuff like: ‘He’s a good player; I really respect him’ – that’s boring as hell to people sitting at home.”

Getting the look

OLD HANDS:

Jason Akermanis is congratulated by fellow 300-gamer Brad Johnson.

One voice in Akermanis’ head says it can’t wait for him to retire, but another screams that it never wants him to stop – and “that’s the guy that keeps winning,” he says. When it’s over, he expects he’ll maintain a level of fitness, recreate some of the camaraderie and competitive environment, but the one thing he’ll miss most is playing in front of crowds. “You can’t recreate the thrill of kicking a goal and hearing lots of noise and enjoying the moment with your teammates.” We ask him to pose with his hand over his mouth (as if to say “Oh my!”) as he did after slotting a miraculous boundary-line goal against Geelong in round 13, 2005. He feigns confusion. “Nah, don’t remember it … kicked two like that. Don’t remember it … 35 touches, nine tackles, five goals. But they’re just stats? What are stats?”

It seems no matter how hard he tries, the enigmatic one just can’t help himself.

Jason Akermanis

Born: February 24, 1977 Recruited from: Mayne/Brisbane Lions Debut: Round 4, 1995 Height: 177cm Weight: 85kg Player Honours: Brownlow Medal 2001; Brisbane Lions best and fairest 1999 (equal), 2005; All-Australian 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004; International Rules Series 1999, 2000; Brisbane Lions premiership sides 2001, 2002, 2003; Jim Stynes Medal 1999 Brownlow Medal: career votes 97

FOOTNOTE  Akermanis went on to play 325 goals and kicked 421 goals but he and the Bulldogs parted company during the 2010 season. Post his AFL career, Akermanis had a stint as playing coach with North Albury in the Ovens & Murray League. He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

ʶ The evolution of Jason Akermanis’ look has virtually coincided with his increasing self-assurance. Indeed, it is a perfect fit for his outgoing nature. He started his AFL career with short red hair before growing bottle-enhanced blond locks, and has for several years cultivated a look that combines white-blond hair with a black goatee beard. Here’s his uninterrupted explanation: “It’s just been an evolution. Not something I’ve meant at any stage. “I remember the reason I originally got blond hair. At Brisbane, we had four redheads – Michael Voss, Justin Leppitsch, Ben Robbins and myself. Commentators always got us confused. “There’s a part of you that wants to be recognised if you’re playing well. You don’t want someone else getting the credit – that’s frustrating. “Then I noticed that Adam Heuskes really stood out with blond hair, so that’s what I did. “It was a bit streaky there for a while because I didn’t have a good hairdresser, but then

the hairdresser got better. Then I grew a big red goatee that was inconsistent in colour: it had red, black, strawberry-blond, auburn. “Then I was watching something that had that main guy from The Sopranos (James Gandolfini) and he had a beautiful, thick, black, one-coloured goatee. I thought: ‘That just looks so consistent.’ “When I saw my hairdresser, I said: ‘By the way, do you have any black tinge to do my beard?’ “I had the sides (of the goatee) for a while but they were too annoying and weren’t consistent, so I shaved them off and just had the ‘soup-strainer’ and the goatee. “But if you want to have a poke at my hairstyle, you would be surprised at how many players and coaches dye their hair because they’ve got greys in it. “All of the coaches who haven’t given in to the grey have theirs touched up. “Notice how none of my teammates bag me about it – because there’s a huge percentage of players who do it themselves. But no one talks about it.”

#1 PRESSURE PLAYERS

PATRICK CRIPPS CRIPPS PICK OF PRESSURE CROP u Having grown up on a West Australian

canola crop farm, Patrick Cripps never shied away from hard work. That work ethic has proved to be a valuable trait given the heavy lifting has well and truly continued at Carlton. In seven seasons at the top level, Cripps is already a triple best and fairest winner, dual All-Australian and AFLPA MVP. Put simply, Cripps – named co-captain at 23 – is at the centre of everything good that happens on-field for the Blues. Last season he ranked No. 1 for clearance average and No. 2 for contested ball average. But Cripps has proven to be just as critical to Carlton’s fortunes on the rare occasions he doesn’t have the ball in hand. On top of his offensive influence, the wrecking ball midfielder was the Blues’ No. 1 pressure player last season. According to Champion Data, Cripps racked up 1129 pressure points from 465 pressure acts last year. He ranked 15th in the AFL for total tackles (123). Champion Data introduced its pressure point system in 2011 as a way of measuring defensive intent beyond just tackles, spoils and smothers. Points are awarded for corralling (1.2), chasing (1.5), closing (2.75) and physical pressure (3.75).

LOCKOUT: Last year’s Grand Final was another sellout but that won’t be the case in 2020.

TALK E H T G TALKIN

The way forward

We put some dates and plans into the AFL’s likely calendar over the next 12 months.

A

s the coronavirus curve continues to flatten in Australia, attention is inevitably starting to turn to finding a way out of the current global health pandemic and returning life to some form of normality. That’s true of the AFL as well. In the coming days, the League hopes to announce a return to play date that thousands of fans have been craving ever since the season was paused after just one round of the 2020 premiership season. “I want to be clear that there’s a lot of work being done to return to play ... how the players can get back, broadcasting and fixturing – there are a lot of ideas in play and there’s no bad ideas,” AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said in a teleconference last week. “We are making that our priority and we are optimistic we will be finalising a plan forward by the end of April and announcing it at that time. “We are finalising our plans internally; we will then engage with key stakeholders and we are doing that with the best medical and government advice.

44  AFL RECORD

SEN.com.au

“We’re also very keen that when we start we don’t stop.” The AFL’s challenge at the moment isn’t just finding a way forward for the season to start but mapping out the calendar with a more longer term view about what the game will look like in the coming years. As head office has repeatedly stated, all options are on the table to start the season later this year while protecting the integrity of the 2021 season. How could the footy calendar look in the next 12 months? We attempt to plot a way forward.

SEASON RESTART: JULY 23, 2020 u The million-dollar question in footy circles is pinpointing a date where the season will begin again. One option floated by Footy Classified’s Caroline Wilson last week was a late July start to coincide with the dates of what would have been this year’s Tokyo Olympics. If that did happen, they’d still be ample amount of time to complete a season by the end of 2020 while also allowing around three months for the country to plot a way out of the current crisis before the AFL season resumes. The AFL has stated it will take into account government and medical advice at all levels before looking at resuming the

There are a lot of ideas in play and there’s no bad ideas GILLON McLACHLAN

2020 season and a late July start on the face of it seems a logical starting date providing coronavirus numbers continue to decrease. Games could even begin earlier in July pending government and health advice. When the season does resume, quarantine hubs in some form are a possibility as a means to provide players and officials for as safe as an environment as possible.

AFL GRAND FINAL: DECEMBER 12, 2020 u A start date around late July

would allow the AFL to complete a season comprising the remaining 16 weeks in the season, plus finals, which would allow an unprecedented summer Grand Final in the middle of December. That of course would put the League’s ability to stage a December Grand Final at the MCG in extreme doubt given it would be just weeks before this year’s scheduled Boxing Day Test against India. The League-owned Marvel Stadium remains a realistic option with cricket controlling Adelaide Oval and Perth’s Optus Stadium in December as well. Once the League names a return to play date, when and where this year’s Grand Final will take place should become clearer. In any case, this year’s AFL showpiece will look vastly different to any other in AFL/VFL history.

TRADE AND FREE AGENCY PERIOD: DECEMBER 14-23, 2020 u The trade and free agency period

is one of the busiest fortnights in the AFL calendar but with the season likely to stretch well into summer, the League may have to truncate it this year. For the purposes of this exercise, trying to plot what the immediate future of the game looks like, a combined trade and free agency period makes sense starting two days after the December 12 Grand Final. The AFL would get its wish of a primetime finale to the trade period and all players who change clubs would know their fate before Christmas.

PLAYERS RETURN TO TRAINING: JANUARY 18, 2021 u AFL Players Association CEO Paul

Marsh has indicated the players are open to being flexible this year and that flexibility will be needed when deciding on a date for players to resume training next year. The traditional pre-Christmas training block is unlikely to exist this year so a mid-January return to training would allow players to have a minimum of five weeks off after the Grand Final. For teams who don’t qualify for finals, that date would be adjusted so all players have an equal amount of time off.

NAB AFL DRAFT: JANUARY 22, 2021 u What the NAB AFL Draft might

look like and whether the current shutdown would provide an opportunity to lift the draft age has been the subject of much debate in the past few weeks. McLachlan confirmed that a draft will be held at some point in the lead-up to the 2021 season. “I’m very confident that the draft will go ahead,” he said. “Clearly there’s a possibility that it will be in a different form in the way that it’s broadcast and the way it’s done, just because of the environment. “But we will need a draft.”

A draft early in 2021 will allow players to join their clubs as soon as possible in pre-season training without impacting the 2020 season.

PRE-SEASON SERIES START: FEBRUARY 25, 2021 u The make-up of next year’s pre-season games wouldn’t be high on the agenda at the moment, but this calendar would allow the Marsh Community Series to start in late February and be held over two weeks to allow clubs to have two hit-outs before the 2021 season begins in March.

SEASON START: MARCH 18, 2021 u McLachlan reaffirmed the

League’s priority not to reshape the 2021 season as a result of the drastic changes coming to this year’s competition. Some people in the footy world have called for an extended season next year in order to recoup as much lost revenue as possible but McLachlan said it was unfeasible to play more than 22 games in 2021. “It is challenging to think we can play beyond 22 rounds for a few reasons,” McLachlan said. “There is venue availability, challenges around the ability of the players to cope with an extended season, and we’ve got commitments and contracts with both venues and broadcasters and others that are challenging to roll into different seasons.

ON THE AGENDA: Players hope to be back training in a few weeks while a January date is likely for the draft ... and then we will bounce the ball for a March 18 start in 2021.

“Instinctively there are some structural challenges to doing that, but right now there aren’t bad ideas and we think it’s incumbent upon us to look at everything.” The AFL will be hoping, much like everyone in the wider footy world, that by the time the ball is bounced on March 18 next year, there are 90,000 at the MCG watching Richmond face off against Carlton with the crisis the game is currently navigating simply a memory. But with the coronavirus situation so fluid and the depth of the crisis affecting everyone, it’s the great unknown when life – let alone football – returns to some form of normality.

GEELONG v RICHMOND, 2007 going into the sixth round of the 2007 season and they had just come off a disappointing home loss to North Melbourne. Paul Chapman was critical of his teammates in an internal player review. The result? It sparked an avalanche of goals against Richmond at Docklands. While this column is usually reserved for the brightest individual performances, it’s just too hard to look past this complete and utter dominance. Geelong dished out a 157-point shellacking by kicking 35 goals on its way to 222 points – the equal-ninth highest total in VFL/AFL history. Those in the blue and white hoops were lining up for goals with 15 individual goalkickers. A 10-goal opening quarter and 20-goal first half set up the mammoth score and kickstarted Geelong’s run to the ’07 flag.

3. BLUES MIDFIELD

CARLTON v PORT ADELAIDE, 2000 u It was an absolute Carlton

midfield slaying in the sixth round of the 2000 season. The Blues crushed the Power by 91 points and it was thanks to a trio of players. Scott Camporeale led the way with a mammoth 45 possessions and was ably accompanied by Craig Bradley with 41 and Brett Ratten who amassed 30 along with six goals. They connected for 116 disposals – more than the combined total of Port’s bottom 15 players that day. The triumvirate filled the three Brownlow votes in what was an imperious showing and good old-fashioned on-ball lesson.

4. NATHAN THOMPSON

NORTH MELBOURNE v HAWTHORN, 2006

u It’s not every day you get

to kick a big bag against your old club and it certainly isn’t every day you do it in a come-from-behind win. In 2006, former Hawk Thompson

was best-on-ground when kicking eight goals and taking 11 marks for North Melbourne. The Kangaroos trailed at half-time before eventually getting the job done by 22 points and it was all thanks to big ‘Thommo’. His 8.4 was more than half of North’s score that day and also the best return of his 179-game, 327-goal career. It was one of a handful of top round six displays by players against their former club. Darren Jarman racked up 39 touches, took 13 marks and kicked three goals for Adelaide against Hawthorn in 2001, while Jeff Farmer kicked seven for Fremantle against Melbourne in 2005 and Daniel Bradshaw kicked six majors for Sydney against Brisbane in 2010

5. MATTHEW LLOYD

ESSENDON v WEST COAST, 2001 u Another massive goal return

came in 2001 when Bombers spearhead Lloyd helped himself to 10 in an 88-point smashing of the Eagles. ‘Lloydy’ also picked up 20 touches and took 13 grabs in a true domination. There was another bag of 10 in a round six match kicked by Scott Cummings for West Coast against Fremantle in the Eagles’ 117-point Derby triumph, just 12 months before Lloyd’s heroics.

ANDREW SLEVISON

for most goals in a game appeared well within reach of Jason Dunstall in round seven, 1992, as he went on a scoring spree against Richmond at Waverley Park. Dunstall had booted 11 goals by half-time, but in the end fell one short of Melbourne full-forward Fred Fanning’s haul of 18 set 45 years earlier. The Hawthorn champion finished with a club-record 17.5 from his 29 disposals and 18 marks, earning him the three Brownlow votes. Only former Saint/Swan Tony Lockett (1360) and Magpie champion Gordon Coventry (1299) have kicked more goals in the AFL/VFL than Dunstall. One of the greatest players to come from Queensland, the full-forward was a three-time Coleman medallist and the Hawks’ leading goalkicker on 12 occasions. He played in four premierships (1986, ’88, ’89, ’91), won the club best and fairest award four times (1988, ’89, ’92, ’93) and was captain for four seasons (1995-98). Dunstall was second in the Brownlow Medal twice (1988, ’92) and third in 1989.

Were there many footballers who played in the VFL before serving during World War I then returned to continue their career?

BACK IN THE FOLD: Dan Minogue played in two Richmond premiership teams after serving in WWI.

ALAN THOMSON, CHADSTONE, VIC MG: There were more than 60 footballers who played in the VFL before and after their WWI service. Many were wounded and it’s remarkable that some had long footy careers after their war experience. Several footballers who returned had multiple premiership success. Hughie James, Frank Harley, Dan Minogue and Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes played in Richmond’s 1920 and 1921 premiership teams. Essendon’s Clyde Donaldson served at Gallipoli and was wounded in Belgium, while teammate Jack Garden fought on the Western Front. Both were in Essendon’s premiership teams in 1923 and 1924. Some of the returnees were awarded for their bravery during the war. Jack ‘Dodger’ Evans played 60 matches for Melbourne before volunteering. He was severely wounded and received the Military Medal. He played one more game in 1919. Leo Little (University, Melbourne) was wounded and gassed during 1917 and was awarded the Military Cross. He played again with Melbourne and later became Victoria’s Crown Prosecutor.

A recommended book for this topic is Barb Cullen’s Harder than Football – League Players at War.
