Excerpt: The AFL Footy Show is a Logie Award winning Australian sports television program, shown on the Nine Network and its affiliates. This show is the original of the two versions of the program, which is dedicated to the AFL and Australian rules football. The other relates to the NRL and rugby league on The NRL Footy Show. As they are shown in distinct geographical regions, according to areas where one or other sport predominates, there is little room for confusion. The AFL version of the show airs twice each week: In Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania The AFL Footy Show is aired. The alternate version of Thursday's NRL Footy Show would then go to air later that Thursday night. The alternate show on Sunday is not aired in addition to the regularly scheduled version. As of 2008 The AFL Footy Show could be seen live into most New South Wales and Queensland TV markets via the Nine HD channel. The AFL Footy Show on Sunday was followed by Any Given Sunday, a show that looked at all sports around the world, as well as previewing the AFL matches for that day. Any Given Sunday was discontinued in 2007. The AFL Footy Show had its origins in 1993 when a special Grand Final Edition of The Sunday Footy Show aired on the Thursday night before the AFL Grand Final. The program was then extended and started as a regular program in 1994, and was hosted by former Network Ten reporter Eddie McGuire, and joined by former Geelong champion John "Sam" Newman and comedian Trevor Marmala...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6240648 ...

They have played in a number of BARFL grand finals, finally winning their first premiership in 2000 against arch-rivals, the Wandsworth Demons, the team captained at the time by club stalwart, Chris Schleter. They have since followed this up with premierships in 2004, 2005 and 2006 all against BARFL heavy-weights the Wimbledon Hawks. 2004 saw fullback Rowan Bilkey captain the club. Chris Schleter again captained the premiers in 2005 while in 2006 Ruckman and Barclay Dixon lead his team to the BARFL premiership. The Wildcats stand as the only team to win the BARFL Premiership on three consecutive occasions. In 2004 the team achieved another first in BARFL history by claiming the BARFL 'Grand Slam', winning the Anzac Cup preseason tournament, the Brit Cup and both the Conference and Premier Division Premierships, a feat they repeated in season 2006. The Wildcats also field a second team, the Shepherds Bush Raiders, and a third side, the Ealing Emus in the BARFL London Conference division. The Shepherds Bush Raiders have won all six Conference premierships since the competition's inception in 2001.

Excerpt: Australian rules football, also officially known as Australian football, is a variant of football played outdoors between two teams of 18 players, plus four interchange players, on large oval-shaped grass fields (often modified cricket fields), with a ball in the shape of a prolate spheroid. The game is commonly referred to as football, Aussie rules or (colloquially) as footy. In New South Wales and Queensland, where it has lower popularity, it is often known (erroneously) as AFL, after the Australian Football League. The primary aim of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball between the middle two posts of the opposing goal. The winner is the team with the higher total score at the end of the fourth quarter. Except for special circumstances, if the score is tied, a draw is declared. Players may use any part of their body to advance the ball. The primary methods are kicking, handballing and running with the ball. There are rules on how the ball can be handled, for example players running with the ball must intermittently bounce or touch it on the ground. Throwing the ball is not allowed and players must not get caught holding the ball. Unlike most similar sports, there is no offside rule, and players can roam the field freely. Possession of the ball is in dispute at all times except when a free kick is paid. A distinctive feature of the game is the mark, where players anywhere on the field who catch a ball from a kick (with specific conditions), are awarded a free kick. Australian rules is a contact sport, in which players can tackle using their hands or use their whole body to obstruct opponents. Dangerous physical contact (such as a pushing an opponent in the back), interference when marking and deliberately slowing the play are discou... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2403 ... Read more

Excerpt: The perceived need for a structured final system was, perhaps, the most important single reason that eight senior clubs broke away from the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1896, and formed the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1897. The system used in today's elite Australian rules football competition, the Australian Football League (AFL), generically known as the McIntyre System, has incrementally evolved over the years from the various finals systems used by the AFL ever since it emerged from the VFL in 1990. Each of the various systems the VFL used to determine its premiership team had, in their turn, been derived from the VFA premiership system that had operated essentially unchanged from 1877 to 1896.

Excerpt:Federal election major party leaders Federal elections were held in Australia on 5 May 1917. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives , and 18 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party of Australia (a result of a merger between the Commonwealth Liberal Party and National Labor Party ) led by Prime Minister of Australia Billy Hughes defeated the opposition Australian Labor Party led by Frank Tudor . Hughes became Prime Minister when Andrew Fisher retired, before leaving Labor to form the National Labor Party and then the Nationalist Party. The election was fought in the aftermath of the first plebiscite on conscription, which had been narrowly defeated. Although Prime Minister Hughes had been unsuccessful in introducing conscription, the scale of his party's win showed that voters still approved of his wartime leadership. The opposition Australian Labor Party, still recovering from the split on conscription that had led Hughes to form his own party, failed to make an impression on voters and suffered a large swing against it. The Nationalist Party was rewarded with the then largest majority for a party in the national parliament.Party : Votes : % : Swing : Seats : Change Party : Votes : % : Swing : Seats Won : Seats Held See also (online edition) Notes References (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Elections were held in the state of Western Australia on 29 September 1917 to elect 50 me... ...

Excerpt: The Malaita massacre inflicted a large number of deaths on the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands in late 1927. William R. Bell, the District Officer of Malaita in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, and many of his deputies were killed by Basiana and other Kwaio warriors as part of a plan to resist the head tax imposed by the colonial authorities and what was perceived as an assault on the traditional values. A retributive raid was organized that ultimately resulted in the death of about 60 Kwaio, in addition to nearly 200 incarcerated and a systematic destruction and desecration of important Kwaio ancestral shrines and ritual objects. The event was of extreme significance for the Kwaio people, and has greatly affected their way of life. In September 1927, various Kwaio, led by Basiana, planned an attack on Bell and his party when they came for the tax collection. They attempted to recruit plotters by advancing their grievances against Bell and the government, especially the empowerment of Christian coastal groups that were seen to dishonour their ancestors. Word of the plot spread across the island, and Bell and his police were warned well in advance. However, understanding local mores, Bell decided the best approach was to make a show of strength, and thereby command the respect of the locals and achieve their compliance.
