The first group of Australian sportspeople to ever represent the country overseas were an Aboriginal team of cricketers, who began an acclaimed tour of England on 25th May, 1868. The team had to face racism, illness and ignorance - but won the hearts of thousands of spectators, and the British establishment. They also did some awesome spear-throwing. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace back the story to Tom Wills, one of the inventors of Aussie-rules football; reveal why Charles Darwin played a role in inspiring the crowds of spectators; and explain how this pioneering team created the first indigenous cricketing stars in Australia...

This week with some help from out buddy Nick Sandone lll, we talk to bridgeport motorsports park street stock champion Tom Wills Jr about the ups and downs of his championship season --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The second part of our discussion of the Tom Wills controversy.  What can we say categorically about him and the alleged role he played in a massacre of Aboriginal people? When and on what grounds could we 'cancel' Tom Wills?  Is cancelling Wills or any historical figure the right thing to do? What should the AFL do right now, in response to this? We find we're left with more questions that answers. What do you think? behindtheplaypodcast@gmail.com

"He was really our first celebrity sportsman, (yet) so much if his life is still a mystery."

We're back baby! We've overcome surgeries, pandemics, earthquakes and riots in the streets and  we're now  back at the desk talking football history. Once again, though, we were waylaid in our quest to find the golden fleece: the game as it was originally intended, the game we all long for when we talk of the glory days of football. We were all set to talk 1874, when the game of yesteryear began to resemble to game of today but, instead, we got caught up in the Tom Wills controversy. We'll be following this episode with a Part Two because, even as we type this, the commentary surrounding this issue is growing and we find we're revisiting our conversation already. In fact, we've already  gone back and made a few small edits to this episode - you'll hear them, the audio quality changes slightly. We could have made more, but we wanted to get this out there. We hope you enjoy listening to this discussion of what is a troubling issue for football in this country.  Are we off track? Did we get it wrong or right? If you have something to add,  we'd love to hear from you.. Find us on Facebook at Behind The Play, on Twitter, @behindtheplayok, or email us at behindtheplaypodcast@gmail.com.

In which John and Ian once again get side tracked in their search for the golden game, the game as it should be, the football we all yearn for and seek to resurrect via our endless tinkering and tweaking. This time, while on the way to 1858 and the very birth of the game in Melbourne, Ian throws a spanner in the works, claiming that there was no birth and there is no origin. This leads to discussions involving the work of legendary Soccer Historian Roy Hay, friend of the show @AFLisnotthesport, George Orwell, Martin Flanagan and Greg de Moore's biography of Tom Wills , who, apparently, is not the father of the game after all.DISCLAIMER. This episode was recorded during a hard lock down in Melbourne meaning we had to converse over long distance. This resulted in the audio being less that perfect in the middle section of the podcast. For this we apologise and we thank you for your patience.

In this fourth episode of the Stray Dog Footy podcast I try to share the remarkable life of Tom Wills, one of the principle inventors of Australian Rules Footy. I also do some housekeeping, and send out some thanks and congratulations. I even try my hand at playing the banjo... Apologies.Note: Around the 10:20 mark, I mistakenly used the year 1958 a few times when I obviously should have said 1858. A glaring error, to be sure, but not as bad as trying to play banjo!Thank you so much for listening. You can reach me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with @StrayDogFooty and via Email at: StrayDogFooty@yahoo.com.

What should buyers look at before buying a "renovator's delight"? Introducing, Tom Wills. Tom is an Architect of over 20 years and runs his own firm TWArchitects, specialising in residential design and small developments. This is one hell of an episode that gets the elephants roaring in the renovation world. There's lots to cover in this one and this list is only the start: Why you should go to see an architects before you buy your dream property. How councils are their own kingdom and do things their way or the highway. Beware the community NIMBY group. Why Council rules are subjective, not set in stone. Why you should not fall for myth of precedence. How planning rules constantly change and you need to have a plan of attack in advance. How you can under capitalise, even more so than over. Styles of houses go in and out of fashion, but what enduring qualities survive? What to look for in an architect. Issues with building contracts to be aware of. You do not want to miss it if you're even dreaming of renovating.

A number of modern sports are credited to a particular 19th-century founder. The inventive work of some of these figures, like basketball’s James Naismith, American football’s Walter Camp, and judo’s Jigoro Kano, is firmly planted in history. But there are others, such as Abner Doubleday and William Webb Ellis, who are certainly historical figures but whose moments of sporting genius are wrapped in legend. And then there is Tom Wills, the man now credited as the primary inventor of Australian rules football. There are statues in Wills’ honor, commemorating his work as a drafter of rules, a player, and an umpire in the mid-19thcentury. But as Greg de Moore discovered when he set out to learn about this distinctly Australian sport, the circumstances of Tom Wills’ life have been largely unknown. To start, Greg learned that Wills had taken his own life, in a horrific manner, by plunging a scissors into his chest. As an academic psychiatrist with a research interest in suicide, he set off to investigate what drove Wills to this act. Starting at its troubled end, Greg went on to research the whole of Wills’ life, producing the first serious biography of this important figure in the history of Australian popular culture: Tom Wills: First Wild Man of Australian Sport (Allen and Unwin, 2011) The subtitle of Greg’s book is appropriate. Tom Wills was a 19th-century example of the prodigiously gifted, narcissistic, and ultimately self-destructive male athlete. Like Mickey Mantle or George Best, Wills could not maintain a relationship, manage his fortune, or hold a job after he left the field. Nor could he handle his drink. Although his end was shocking and unusual, the downward spiral is familiar to those who follow sports, in any country. At the same time, while this is a story common to all sporting cultures, Tom Wills’ life opens a window to the history of colonial Australia. His life intersected with episodes of violence between white settlers and Aborigines, as well as moments of reconciliation. He took great pride in his English education, yet his father was committed to the idea that Australia distinguish itself as a separate nation. As Greg explains at the start of our interview, the first spark of this project had come when he was living in New York City and wanted to learn what was distinct about his homeland. Certainly, Tom Wills is a representative figure of Australian history. But he also should be viewed as a compelling character of modern sport. Learn more about your ad choices.
