2023-09-26 00:00:00Z | Sep 26, 2023 | Colin Carter, AM FAICD | By ZOOM, Football's Forgotten Years | Sep 26, 2023 |
'For almost 100 years, the AFL competition has been deemed to have started in 1897 when the VFL was formed after eight clubs seceded from the VFA. Colin Carter is a former AFL Commissioner (1993-2007), and Geelong President (2011-2020). Before he joined the AFL Commission he was a strategic planning consultant to the VFL, responsible for such seminal issues as the structure of the national competition, the draft and salary cap, and the restoration of relations between the League and the Melbourne Cricket Club which saw the development of the Great Southern Stand. In 2021, he was commissioned by the AFL to write a position paper on the potential of a Tasmanian-based AFL club. Although born in Western Australia, he is a true-blue Geelong supporter. 'Colin Carter is a decorated football administrator who has turned his mind to the history of the game, explaining in clear terms when Victoria’s football competition began and why it is the precursor of today’s AFL competition. Colin’s case for recognising the years from 1870 to 1896, an important history lost through politics and time, is supported by facts. Supporters should approach this book with open minds and lift their eyes to the great truth—the AFL is the oldest football competition in the world.' 'The Carter argument is compelling. Clearly the AFL was born of the VFA. The defection of eight clubs didn’t erase their histories pre-1897. Colin’s push maybe unpalatable with clubs whose place in premiership tallies will be adjusted negatively but a true history of the game’s origins is far more important. Clearly 1870 is the AFL competition’s birthdate.' M.C. David Rush **Please Wear Your Football Colours: eg: scarf, beanie** Photo Credit : Rodger Wang |

2023-10-03 00:00:00Z | Oct 03, 2023 | Dr Michael Valos | Humour For Leaders, Hat Day At Kooyong LTC | Oct 03, 2023 |
'Michael Valos: There has been a lot of academic research into the benefits and risks of humour and academic theories have developed. Research shows both creativity and humour can be improved with training by observing role models and understanding the formula anyone can increase to a degree their ability to observe, create and share humour'. His new life combines honorary work at Deakin University and developing a number of talks and short courses ' · “Humour for leaders.” · “Improving societies critical analysis skills” · “Dangers of not understanding science.” · “Overcoming Media disinformation” . “Skills for life success” 'The content of his talk, and his entertaining style, certainly had the audience laughing. But his talk had a more serious message, presented in an engaging manner, of how humour can be used as a management tool'. While it means something different for each of us, it opens our thinking in how we communicate whether it is in a work, volunteer or family setting.Something in it for everyone'. M.C.

2023-11-07 00:00:00Z | Nov 07, 2023 | No Meeting | Melbourne Cup Day | Nov 07, 2023 |
'The most well-known horse racing occasion in Australia is Melbourne Cup Day. It has been contested at Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse on the first Tuesday in November since 1861. In the state of Victoria, it is a yearly holiday. It is stated that this 3,200-meter handicap race, known as "the race that stops the nation," is the richest "two-mile" handicap in the world and one of the wealthiest turf events. It is open to horses aged three and older. At Flemington Racecourse, there are typically more than 100,000 spectators, and the race is broadcast live to an estimated 650 million viewers worldwide. Did you know? Phillip Island, which is about 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and is better known for its penguin colonies, was the home of Wollomai, the 1875 winner. Animals used to be swum across to the Narrows in ancient times, before there was a ferry service running between Phillip Island and San Remo.
