Adam Goodes: (Black) Pride and (White) Prejudice. On August 6, 2015. And so Adam Goodes will make his return to the Swans in their game against Geelong this weekend. Football might return to being about the result. Goodes might simply be a footballer, one of 36 on the field, doing his best for his team for those two hours. The ‘Ape’ Racist Abuse. Goodes sent a tweet stating ‘two days after being called an ape and this is what I wake up to’. During the day of the incident and the following days, McGui...

The Passion, the Pain, and the Pissants: Charting 10 Years of Adelaide United. On May 7, 2015. It goes without saying that Adelaide United’s brief existence has been a tumultuous one. Reds fan and ABC reporter Loukas Founten has been there since the first game and has seen it all the on-field implosions, the inaugural Premiership, the pissants rant, #Shitgoalkeepergate. And the rebirth under Josep Gombau. The club doesn’t have a lot of money to play with and there would have had to be some money outlaid,...

English football with Cherries on top at The Valley. On May 15, 2015. May, but, they were also playing the new glamour team, AFC Bournemouth, who had a few days earlier confirmed their elevation to the English Premier League. I went to the game, with only the stock of minor knowledge: a few perusals of Charlton Athletic’s website and some unofficial media. I signed up to follow their Twitter account. AFC Bournemouth, of course, were in the news and in. Voice of the Valley. Where will you be coming from?

Wild Tales as the Sarajevo Film Festival visits the Herzegovinian hinterland. On August 14, 2015. There’s a scene near the end of. When Jerry and Mike’s film is shown on the projector, and it’s interspersed with cuts to the small community who frequented the video store. As the glow from the screen reflected on their faces, the wonder in their eyes cast just as moving a picture. The light flickers from the projector and the various reactions of glee from the small audience in the shop, despite. Hovering ...

Surviving the Hippie Hell that is Haight-Ashbury with Absinthe and D.J. Lebowitz. On August 12, 2015. Within five seconds of boarding the train my mind started to wander. Warped graphic imagery, smouldering in the mental workshop of my mind for most of the day, combusted in an orgiastic cluster-fuck of the taboo and downright sick. Absinthe had played a part. Now if anyone’s familiar with the stretch of BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit San Francisco’s somewhat timid answer to NYC’s subway system) line betwee...

Notes on an “Ultra” spectacular A-League Grand Final. On May 21, 2015. The game was no classic. Finals rarely are. Like waiting in the dark room in pre-digital days for a print to develop, we waited for a pattern of play to be established in the opening minutes. Was Victory doing the boa constrictor on Sydney or was Sydney doing a rope-a-dope on Victory? This is what I tweeted at half time. Mdash; Athas Zafiris (@ArtSapphire) May 17, 2015.

Condemning the mythologising of the Anzac legend raised a tinderbox of issues related to freedom of speech and nationalism. Professor Philip Dwyer, the director of the Centre for the ...

Everybody hates the Pines: How Frankston’s football underdogs have survived 50 years. On June 10, 2015. The 2011 season had been a disaster. In fact, so had the previous three. The club’s senior team had now been relegated four seasons in a row, going from the highest level of senior football in Victoria, the Victorian Premier League, down through the ranks to the state’s fifth tier, Provisional League 1. When Gary Hodgson took over as president in 2011 he was looking at the very real prospect of closing...
