‘From a Club to a Corporate Game: The Changing Face… by Ian Andrews
An essay which aims to ‘make sense’ of the post-war transformation of the VFL/AFL from 1960 to 1999. It examines both cultural and structural aspects of this transformation. Published as part of a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport, vol.17, no.2-3, June/September, 2000.
Based on extensive analysis of documents surrounding the conscription debates of World War I, Blair provides important insights into the class dimensions of Australian Rules football. His research is sumarised in subsequent publications, including ‘“The Greater Game”: Australian Football and the Army at Home and on the Front During World War I’, Sporting Traditions, vol. 11, no. 2, May 1995, pp. 91-102 and the chapter entitled ‘War and Peace, 1915-1924’, in Rob Hess and Bob Stewart (eds), More Than a Game: An Unauthorised History of Australian Rules Football.

This work on football communities and notions of community, presents a conceptual framework with four broad definitions of community. A schema of emergent, dominant and residual communities is used to interpret the evolution of VFL/AFL football support between 1946 and 1999. Andrews examinines whether the League was leaving the community behind, or whether it itself was in danger of being left behind by social, economic and demographic changes.
