EVEN at a local level, the politics of sport can be just as
brutal as anything that takes place in Canberra. Just ask the
passionate group that runs the North Ballarat City Football Netball
Club.
HASTINGS promotes itself as the most successful football club on
the Mornington Peninsula. With a history dating back to 1889 that
includes 21 senior premierships, it has certainly enjoyed plenty of
good times.
WHEN we see Nathan Buckley and Luke Darcy move seamlessly from
player to pundit, it's easy to assume that all AFL footballers
depart the highest level with a pot of gold and the promise of a
cushy job.
