CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME 2018 It’s shaping up as another big season with continued growth across our whole competition, including netball, girls football and senior women’s football. Importantly, we’ll see our Graham Halbish biggest level of growth in EFL Chairman junior boys for a number of years, particularly in the non-competitive age groups and very pleasingly at under-17 level. With some junior team nominations still to be confirmed, we are on target for 560 plus football teams and 79 netball teams, so our reach and impact into communities across the east continue to grow. With the impending restructure in our senior men’s competition to five divisions for season 2019, this year shapes as an important one for clubs in all divisions and by the look of it we have very equal looking competitions across the board. A big thank-you to all our senior and junior club presidents and other club officials. We know it has been a busy few months getting prepared for the season and hope that with the ball finally bouncing you can enjoy some footy and netball. Our competition is only as strong as our clubs and trusted in you by your members is the management of your wonderful community organisations. A big focus at present is to look at how we can reduce the burden on volunteers. In the first few rounds we’ll trial some changes in how we manage match days with changes to interchange stewards, team sheet processes, and club boundary umpires. These changes will result in over 21,000 hours of less volunteer work if able to be implemented across the season. It’s changes like this we’ll continue to look for. We are proud of the work we and our clubs do in the community more than just playing games. Each year our focus changes as we aim to use our size

and reach to bring awareness to issues relevant in our community. This season we’ll have three main focuses. We’ve all marvelled at the strength and resilience of Neale Daniher and his fight with MND. The Daniher family has a strong connection with the league with Neale’s son Ben playing at Blackburn. As they expand the Freeze MND campaign into grassroots football and netball, we’re pleased to be involved in promoting this. On behalf of everyone in the EFL, we pass on our best wishes to Neale and his family in his continued fight and our admiration of the work he has done so far, and we are proud to try and help the cause this year. We’ve had a partnership with the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation “Love the Game, Not the Odds” Program for a few years now but this year want to increase the direct education we are having in clubs. Gambling advertising is everywhere, and we know young men are the target audience, so we have an obligation to help spread the message of the dangers involved with the ease and accessibility nowadays. And finally, we are in talks with the Prostate Cancer Foundation, in conjunction with Bendigo Community Banks, on running a Big BBQ round later in the year. 3,300 Australian men die each year from prostate cancer, that’s nine a day, and we men aren’t the best when it comes to monitoring our health so it’s important we help spread the message given the number of men involved in our competition. We thank all of our valued sponsors for the ongoing commitment and who without we could not offer the level of services we do to our players and clubs. I’d like to thank Bendigo Community Banks from across the region, who as our naming rights sponsor, and who also individually sponsor many of our clubs, contribute significantly to community sport in Melbourne’s east. We are pleased to announce two new major partners coming onboard for season 2018. Carsales, Australia’s leading supplier of online classifieds for cars, have joined the league and as

The Eastern Footballer

At our recent Season Launch at Deakin University, I said a big thank-you to the coaches and captains of our senior football and netball teams who were represented on the night. It is they who have much control in setting the standards of behaviour on and off the field/court at your clubs, and in turn play a huge role in the sporting and personal development of the in excess of 3,000 senior men and women who will play football and netball in the League this year. It’s a responsibility we hope they take with great care and pride. The EFL is proud of the way and the spirit in which our games are played. The season got off to a great start with the Good Friday game at Blackburn, with Doncaster prevailing in a high quality, close game in front of a big crowd. If that sets the standard for what’s in store, then we are in for a terrific year ahead. Welcome again to the season, best of luck to all teams and I look forward to seeing you all at the games.

THE FIVE

FL Media’s Matt Fotia takes us through five talking points of the first week of EFL action.

Local footy is finally back and even if it was only for two sets of supporters throughout the Eastern Football League it was pretty evident everyone was happy to have it back in our lives. Friday’s clash between 2017 finalists Blackburn and Doncaster was the third time in a row the Sharks had played the Panthers and it delivered an enthralling opener to the season. So here are five things we learnt from Doncaster’s 10-point victory over Blackburn.

1. Good Friday footy is here to stay and there could be more like it to come.

stood out because of his glaringly bright orange boots, but also for his skills and awareness under immense pressure. The only thing missing from his game was a goal but we’re sure he’ll find time for a couple of them at some point this season.

3. The Sharks will need a ruck release. Doncaster ruckman Ewan McKenzie was influential throughout the game on Friday winning countless hitouts, taking a number of marks, laying crucial tackles, influencing contest after contest and even snaring a goal for his hard work. All of this led to McKenzie looking all but cooked by the latter stages of the fourth quarter and although they were victorious, the Sharks may need to look at finding some relief for the big man sometime in the near future.

Blackburn has long been the fore-runner when it comes to one-off games on public holidays. Frequent participants in Anzac Day clashes, this was Blackburn’s second season hosting a Good Friday clash and it welcomed a strong crowd from all across the League. A good earner through the gate, the bar and the canteen the Burners will no doubt be looking to continue the tradition next year. With more and more night games being played across the competition nowadays (South Belgrave host Ferntree Gully this Saturday starting at 6.10pm) and of course the annual Sunday showdown between North Ringwood and East Ringwood, we could see more clubs looking to make their own showpiece games. Could Monday, Wednesday or Thursday night footy be on the horizon?

4. Tranquilli runs a tight ship. Doncaster will be as well-drilled as ever under Andrew Tranquilli in season 2018. The calm communicator was impressive on EFL Game-Day in his pre-match interview but wasn’t ready to let anything slide come the first bounce. Just five minutes into the Good Friday clash, David Molloy was caught slightly off-guard by a Blackburn counter-attack which led to a Burners goal. Tranquilli had the runner out there before you could blink, ready to berate Molloy for stepping out of the line. Whatever was said worked as Blackburn failed to open the Sharks up all day. Attention to detail is high at Schramms Reserve.

5. Blackburn may need some time.

2. Chris Annakis is a bona fide star. The 2017 Chandler Medal winner was given plenty of attention from the Blackburn on ball brigade. The Sharks talisman found a way to rise above it all and proved his class. He was among the leading disposal winners on the ground, always managing to find space and time amongst the chaos. He not only

New Blackburn coach Brendan Allen is clearly looking at youth development this year. Blackburn had a number of young debutants on Friday with a couple coming from its 2017 under-19 side, whom contested the grand final. Couple this with the numerous (albeit talented) recruits that Blackburn have added to their list and it could take some time for the Panthers to gel together, so don’t be alarmed if they have a slow start to the season. Once they get their collective bodies together they’ll be a force to reckoned with in season 2018.

400 FOR MORRISON By Daniel Cencic

o play 400 games of football is no easy feat.

Ringwood, Morrison remembers that preparation was far from ideal leading in.

For Chirnside Park’s Scott Morrison, Saturday will mark the big milestone at 43 years of age. In a career which began in the junior ranks playing school footy for St Peter Julian’s, followed by donning the navy blue in the Croydon under-14s, 26 years have passed since Morrison began under18s in 1992. The 400-gamer would captain the Blues’ under18s in his second year at that level, after an offer with TAC Cup club the Eastern Ranges presented in his first year – but the stalwart refused to leave Croydon, and soon after began his senior career in 1994. “It (Croydon) was home,” Morrison said. “I knew everyone there and just enjoyed being around my mates and that’s what footy was all about – it wasn’t about the dollar and having a good time and doing the best for your club and the jumper that you wear. “That’s what footy is lacking a bit these days – it’s more what you can get from every club whereas back in those days you used to play on a Saturday, have a few beers and it was like a second home I suppose. “I was lucky to play with a lot of guys in a real family environment who I’d become really good mates with am still am today. We grew up together and it was a really close-knit group.” 15 years at the Blues would see 302 club games amassed in total, with a club best and fairest and a life membership for services to the club along the way. But there would be perhaps the most fulfilling chapter of Morrison’s career to come, transferring to Chirnside Park in 2010. A reserves premiership that season for Morrison would end a run of seven losing grand finals throughout his career, much to his relief. “The writing was on the wall when they (Croydon) dropped a lot of the mature players and we looked at it and a couple of others decided to come across,” Morrison said. “I got injured during the year, carried osteitis pubis through the year in 2010 but was lucky enough to play in a winning grand final side with my close mates.” Coming up against the undefeated North

“I was actually pretty crook the week before, a couple of us got the flu and we were quarantined from the rest of the boys,” he said.

www.efl.org.au

“I’d played in a few grand finals over the years and this one just felt right, it was a very heavy, wet day at Ringwood, and North Ringwood were undefeated. “As a group, we just knew what we had to do.” Captaining the under-18s at Croydon all those years ago has helped Morrison with his move into the coaches’ box, guiding the Panthers’ reserves from 2011-2013, and the under under-19s since 2016. “That was something new to me and I thought it was a good opportunity to do that and it’s something that helps me today coaching, helping the under-19s boys come through,” he said. “Hopefully on Saturday I’ll get to play with a few of the boys that I’ve coached and it means a lot, I was lucky I had a lot of really good people through my career as coaches and I just wanted to give something back, and that’s the best way I know how.” Morrison says he is grateful for the coaches he’s had across his 400-game career. “I can’t thank ‘Davo’ (former Chirnside Park coach Brett Davidson) enough for everything he’s done over the years and he’s been a great inspiration to me,” he said. “I’ve had Mark Evans and Greg Freemantle, so I’ve been pretty lucky over the years and I suppose I’ve taken a bit off every single one of them in a way.” Family has played a major role in Morrison’s longevity, with mum and dad there every step of the way, as well as his wife and two children and best mate, Craig. Since first turning out for the Croydon reserves and seniors in 1994, Morrison also believes luck with injuries has been on his side to last 25 seasons, as he hopes to play for as long as possible. “My dad’s always been a massive support, I don’t know who’ll be more upset when I hang them up, me or him,” he said. “As long as I can keep playing and having an impact, I’m happy to do it.” 7

300 FOR TREDREA By Daniel Cencic

ver 30 years at the one club and a myriad of accolades later, Knox Falcons stalwart Paul Tredrea will run out for game 300 this weekend.

Starting out at seven years of age in Knox’s under-8s in 1987, Tredrea would go on to forge one of the club’s most renowned careers, making the transition into senior footy in 1998. Earning the honour of being named on the wing in Knox’s team of the ‘90s and team of the quarter century, a club best and fairest in 2002 while also named in the team of the decade from 2000 to 2009 as vice-captain, being a one-club player is something the 300-gamer treasures. “It’s special in that it’s been the one club the whole time, it’s the only place I know really (and) when you see the place change and you grow with it, it’s just an enjoyable place to be,” Tredrea said. “It’s nice to be acknowledged by and amongst your peers.” It wouldn’t be long until Tredrea would taste the ultimate success with the Falcons in just his third year of senior footy, playing in Knox’s 2000 Division 3 premiership in a thrilling two-point win over Templestowe. “I’ve been pretty fortunate really, to be 20 or 21 when you make that journey onto the podium for the first time to get your medal – it’s pretty significant,” he said.

“You don’t have a lot of time to think, so we regrouped a little and pretty much just got on with the job. “It wasn’t until after that you see yourself running around on video and you get to remember it. “We just had the 10-year reunion last year and that was fantastic, it probably got a bit more special in the time, as all good stories do, they tend to get a bit taller. “The worst part about that game is that you don’t get to enjoy it with South Croydon because they made such a significant moment of that game – nobody wants to gather around for a 10-year reunion for a game you’ve lost. “Full credit and respect to those guys, they made it everything that we made it as well. “The ball bounced our way a few times and we put the icing on the cake – to the victor goes the spoils I guess. “You don’t want to take the shine off the other one (2000), but for me personally, getting the club to Division 1 was always a challenge and the aspiration so it was pretty exciting in that regard.” Knox has never been bereft of quality coaches, which have been integral parts of Tredrea’s footy journey.

“I was lucky when I played in under-18s we lost a couple of grand finals and then won one, but to do it as a senior was pretty special.

“Unless you’ve been coached by those guys then they’d probably be of no significance but guys that have been coached by them would understand,” he said.

“I didn’t start playing senior footy until ‘98, and it was great to have a good time and take the club’s history to a new level.”

“Greg Hannon was my first senior coach and he was terrific for me – I was coming into a fairly solid side at the time and he’s been a good role model for me.

For Tredrea, it would take something pretty special to top Knox breaking its nine-year flag drought in 2000, but the best was yet to come seven years later.

“Later on, Kevin Collins had a fairly significant impact at the club, Stuey (Stuart Wynd), Knighter (Jon Knight), and now Dave (current senior coach Dave Madigan) as well have certainly had an impact on my footy.

In what is regarded as the greatest grand final the Eastern Football League has produced, Knox, led by EFL-great Stuart Wynd, battled South Croydon in an epic encounter which would end in a draw. In extra-time, the Falcons scraped over the line by six points in what Tredrea regards as the best grand final in EFL history and his career highlight, lining up in the centre. “I find it hard to disagree,” he said. “When you’re running around, and you’ve slugged it out for four quarters and you’re pretty much out on your feet and you’ve got to go again, it’s pretty exciting and daunting. www.efl.org.au

“We’ve been pretty lucky – I don’t know of too many clubs that have had constant success other than the last couple of years, and we’ve always been able to keep pushing forward.” And push forward they have, with Tredrea defying the critics time and again to be donning the red and black at 38 years of age. “Once you get to 30 there’s a lot of naysayers and I was pretty fortunate that I didn’t pay too much attention to them – I just got on with the job.”

#InFocus2018 | South Croydon By: Tim Fitzsimons Twitter: @TimFitzsimons6

here would be few places anyone would rather be for the grind of preseason than Cheong Park after what was a fairytale 2017 for the South Croydon Football Club.

The Dogs will go into season 2018 in somewhat unfamiliar territory as the benchmark of the competition after their outstanding Division 1 premiership last season. In what was a remarkable achievement for a club that has been starved of success for so long in Division 1 football, the Dogs will be hoping to continue that momentum into the upcoming season. Dan King, South Croydon’s premiership captain and Cliff Tomkins medal winner for a stellar performance in the grand final believes the success had by the club last year has only driven the playing group further. “After last year it’s been really exciting so obviously the competitive drive is there,” King said. “We’ve probably been starved of success for a little while since we’ve been in first division so we’ve certainly got a taste for it now.” Seeing the Western Bulldogs in the AFL fall away after their long-awaited premiership glory hasn’t worried the premiership skipper and he has no doubt his teammates will be in the same boat after last year’s triumph. “When you’ve been starved of success for so long in first division, being on the end of some real beltings

you certainly don’t take it for granted,” King said. “We’re certainly not worried about not performing, we’re more excited to try and do it again.” A major departure at South Croydon for season 2018 is premiership coach Leigh Adams who has taken up the senior coaching role at Coburg in the VFL. Adams has been replaced by another former North Melbourne-listed player in Luke McCormick (pictured below). McCormick joins the club having been a playing coach at Monbulk and more recently in a senior assistant role for the Eastern Rangers in the TAC Cup. King could not be happier with the club’s appointment. “I was part of the group that met with Luke and to a certain extent really try and convince him to take the job,” King said. “Since that it has just been sensational – he’s fitted in seamlessly, carrying a similar philosophy to what we’ve been trying to do over the last few years. “He also comes in with an open mind and a couple of new things that we’ll be working on to be trying to keep ahead, or at least with the pack.” With the appointment of McCormick and a few exciting inclusions, a slightly different playing style is on the cards for South Croydon this season. “The biggest thing for us is we’ve had quite a few new players come with the new structure of the VFL system so we’ve been quite fortunate,” King said. “Our best team is probably going to have a little bit of a different make up to last year so in that sense,

The Eastern Footballer

#InFocus2018 | South Croydon (McCormick) has sort of brought in new faster pace than we were doing at times last year. “Until you get to practice matches you really don’t know how it’s going so I’m sure he is going to tinker with it a bit more once he gets to know the side and how our players play and where they play best but that will come out over the next three or four weeks.” A couple of these notable inclusions are the return of former dog in Liam Cox, who has returned to the club after a stint with Box Hill and Daniel Cooper coming across from Doncaster in the off-season. Impressing King over the pre-season has been the continued rise of star youngster Frank Anderson, who took home last season’s Leader Young Gun award and stood up on the big stage in last year’s finals series to be a vital cog in the Dogs’ midfield. Anderson’s emergence as one of the best young prospects in the competition and terrific standards on the training track across pre-season have earned him a spot in South Croydon’s leadership group. King believes Anderson, along with Jason Want who was right in hunt for the best and fairest before heading overseas mid-season last year, have been leading the way as two of the club’s emerging stars. “They’re setting a lot of the standards on the training track which is great sitting back as a bit of an older player now watching the younger guys really lead the way.” It is the continuation of younger guys such as Anderson and Want stepping up that King feels can lead the club towards sustained success over an extended period of time. “You’ve got to be aware that we want to stay in that top flight and we’ve worked really hard to get ourselves in this position so developing the youth from our club and juniors to come through, we can’t afford to miss out on that.” Heading into the season as the team to beat in Division 1 isn’t the only exciting new prospect for the club in 2018. South Croydon will also be introducing its firstever women’s side in the Deakin University Eastern Region Women’s Competition, in what promises to be a terrific step for the club and coach Tracey Lackman is thrilled to be a part of the inaugural side. “I think it’s awesome,” she said. “Personally I have been around footy forever and I think it’s a really great thing for the club. “It shows that we are a very inclusive club.” Lackman has been pleased with the team’s development and attitude since she took on www.efl.org.au

the role in late January despite having plenty of inexperienced players. “When I started out, skill-wise a lot of them didn’t know the basics of how to drop a ball so it actually goes where they want it to go. It’s a slow progression but they are picking the skills up well,” she said. “They are always willing to give it a go, even if they think it’s quite challenging. “Each week we’re progressively getting bigger and bigger numbers down at training.” Lackman is realistic about the team’s goals heading forward with a strong focus on improving skills and having a better understanding of the game in the side’s inaugural season. “We’re not looking to win a premiership and the girls are well aware of that,” she said. “Our main goal is just developing as a team and really working on those skills that we can certainly progress onto a strong 2019 squad.” 13

DIVISION 1

VERMONT: We welcome everybody today to another footy season and another huge game against Balwyn. Pre season has been long and hard and we have been thrilled at the spirit and talent of the youngsters coming up from the under 19’s, plus the quality and character of the recruited players. On the Coaching side of things Harmit Singh and Paul Breen continue with the Seniors & Reserves , however they have three new assistants in Brad Cullen, Garry Conolly and Marty Pask. We also have three new Coaches for our Under 19’s In Paul Barlow, Kris Barlow and Shaun Furey. They are not new really, as all have played in previous Senior Premierships and the two Barlows have been Senior Coaches. Fantastic experience for our youth. The players have been sensational, showing super level enthusiasm and a massive desire to go one better. A huge thankyou to John Bell, Col Smyth, Nev Roulston, Head Trainer Alicia Carroll and her crew for wonderful support during the pre season in difficult conditions. We very much thank the Sponsors who are continuing to support us and a new one in Simpson Constructions. Our Junior Club continues to grow and this year will embark on an open age women’s team who will play home games on Saturday at Livingstone. We wish the Coach Meredith Denvir every success. To the hundreds of Past Players & Official we say it is time to make this very exclusive group the best in town. To our supporters we say, please purchase a Membership, be involved in some way and above allow IGNITE THE PASSION. Go eagles

Joining Pat for this season are Jamie Bennell who, with 87 games of AFL experience with Melbourne and WCE will be a very exciting addition running of half-back. His ball use in the preseason games has been eye catching. Returning to the club after a 3 year stint at Box Hill is 2014 premiership player Connor O’Sullivan, who at 196cm will take on the 1st ruck duties. Connors mobility for a big fellow and willingness to get down and dirty to fight for possessions at clearances will see him accumulate a lot of the ball and use it to good effect. Also aligned to us from Box Hill are Mitch O’Donnell, Tom Moloney and Nelson Lane, who, if available, will add much-needed grunt to our midfield stocks. Blake Pearson, who played a couple of games with us back in 2014, also remains aligned to us from Port Melbourne and may be available for serveral games. Our own home grown Lochie Dickson may also play games with us after his move to Coburg, as will Alex Mioni. Ollie Twine rounds out the recruits, returning after a stint with Kew in the ammos. Rd 1 is against Rowville at Rowville and will be the first of many stern tests the team faces this year.

#InFocus2018 | KNOX By: Daniel Cencic Twitter: @DC_EFL

ollowing its 2017 Division 2 premiership, Knox senior coach David Madigan senses a distinct difference from two years ago ahead of his side’s upcoming Division 1 campaign.

Madigan believes his side is primed for another crack at the top tier where it last played in 2016. “Looking back at the body shapes and maturity of these guys two years ago when they were just coming out of under-19s to playing senior footy, they’re bigger, they’re stronger and so much more confident,” he said. “They’re taking up that role of being the core of the group – guys like Ryan Johnson, Harry Greaves, Dec Forbes, ‘Jimma’ Curtiss, Mitch Hanegraaf – they just blossomed into really good, strong senior footballers last year and had significant influence on our games and our finals campaign.” The Falcons have welcomed a raft of VFL talent, including the Northern Blues’ John Rafferty and

The Eastern Footballer

Robert Maibaum, along with North Melbourne’s Matt Northe. “’Raffer’ (John Rafferty) was with us in 2016 and really gives us something between the arcs, playing wing before he had a crack at VFL footy, so he’ll come back and play that wing role,” Madigan said. “Rob’s decided he just wants to focus on local footy – he’s a good-looking type – about 184cm (and) a mobile half-forward. “Matty Northe is a really good kid, I’ve known him since he started at Box Hill. He can go inside and out as a midfielder, so he’ll give us a bit of flexibility there.” Rounding out the recruits is Justin Pilgrim, formerly of Heyfield in the North Gippsland Football Netball League and Pambula in the Sapphire Coast league. Madigan is confident Pilgrim can provide the Falcons with an extra dimension up forward. “Justin is from New South Wales originally, so he’s got a bit of footy nous about him as that 180-plus half-forward type and will give us a bit of bite

#InFocus2018 | KNOX around the forward line,” Madigan said. Headlining the outs for Knox in the off-season is 2015 Chandler medallist Luke Williams, who has joined rival Wantirna South. Among other omissions include 2017 premiership players Jordan Damatopoulos, Scott Davis, Jayden Duman, Brett Kay (East Burwood) and Liam Kidd (South Belgrave). Madigan believes the departures open the door for players to step up into leadership roles, with the new recruits already influencing the playing group. “They (the new recruits) are all mature footballers (and) in terms of leadership we’ve had guys that we’ve added onto our list in Jesse Plostins last year and Jack Beech who’s been with us for four years now and a really experienced ruckman,” he said. “Luke (Williams) leaves a bit of a gap at our club, but I think it also provides opportunities to some of the other guys that they perhaps had aspired to.” Club captain Stephen Aiello is no certainty to be lining up this year, after undergoing knee surgery in the off-season. The 2017 premiership captain defied the odds last September, playing in the club’s grand final victory after injuring his knee the week prior. Madigan says Aiello will not be rushed back into action. “He’s got to have a bit more tidy-up surgery and it probably depends on what they find in terms of healing after that,” he said. “Steve’s going to be involved in an assistantcoaching capacity. “He’s had a pretty ordinary run with knee injuries, so it’s a bit of a quality of life thing and it’s not something we’re going to be rushing.” With the five-division structure taking effect from 2019 in the EFL, Madigan believes this season is an opportunity for his side to establish itself in the top tier and be part of something special. “I think it’s a really good move for the competition and I’ve said to our guys and to the club in general that we’ve got a chance to be a part of something special if we can put enough wins on the board to be part of a premier metropolitan football competition,” he said. “It’s going to be a difficult task, but I think we’re certainly a better football team than we were two years ago in Division 1. “Everybody recognises that it’s a significant jump up from Division 2 to Division 1. “I’m really glad that we’ve bounced straight back up because I don’t think it’s going to get any easier www.efl.org.au

for clubs in Division 2 to make it up to Division 1, especially with some other strong clubs that are going to come down again. “We’ve earnt the opportunity to have a go in keeping a spot in Division 1 and consolidating our list and the way we’re going about our footy as a club, we want to make the most of it.” Off the field, former club secretary Jane Barbanti has assumed the role of president, taking over from the long-serving Joe Aiello. “It’s very exciting and it’s something that I’m really looking forward to,” Barbanti said. “I’ve had some great feedback and support from the committee, parents, mums and the women’s football side. “I think it’ll be an exciting change for the club.” Knox women’s side will again compete in the Deakin University Eastern Region Women’s Competition under the tutelage of new coach Sean Price, following on from its fourth-placed finish last season. Price takes over from Clint Martin, who will coach Donvale’s women’s side this year. With the growth of women’s football and netball at Knox, Barbanti is thrilled with the ‘holistic’ pathway the club has taken. “That’s something that we’re really striving towards at Knox and getting that real ‘one-club’ feel and it’s great.”

DIVISION 2 MOOROOLBARK: A big welcome to all Mooroolbark players, sponsors and supporters to what promises to be a very exciting season 2018. Welcome also to new players to the club and their families. We have a completely new coaching panel this year with Heath Black appointed to the Senior coaching role. Heath comes to us with coaching experience and over 150 AFL games under his belt so hopefully he can impart some of that knowledge and experience onto the players. Matt Ford has retired as a player and is taking on the Reserves coaching role while Dale Watkins will take charge of the Colts. We welcome these people and their assistants to their roles and hope they all have a successful and satisfying season. The boys have been on the track since November and are raring to go. We’ve had 3 good hitouts against Norwood, Kilsyth and Wandin and are now ready for the season opener as we host last season’s grand finalist, Doncaster East, in what should be a tough encounter. We’ve gained a number of quality players this season including Matt Polkinghorne, Troy Wright, Jayden Bishop, Alex Wadsworth, Ben Mullett and Sean Plunkett who have all returned to the stable after stints elsewhere. Also on board are Andrew Hunter, Dean Kelly, Judd Darcy and Paul Thatcher. With these new players joining us, together with a new coaching panel and a renewed enthusiasm amongst all players and supporters, all at Mooroolbark are hoping for a successful season. After today’s game everyone is invited to the Heights clubrooms where we will hold our annual Player Auction, so make sure you study the form and roll up to buy your favorite players. Finally, a big thank-you to all who contributed to the very successful fund raiser for Kid and his family last week. GO MUSTANGS!!!

DONCASTER EAST: Once again the preseason has come and gone very quickly and today we take on Mooroolbark away in our first game that really matters for 2018. A special welcome and best wishes to those players who pull on the Club Jumper for the first time today. At the time of writing selection has not been announced so it is difficult to mention players individually. We will do that next week. Welcome home to former club captain, premiership player and 6 times B & F winner Leigh Murphy. Watching Leighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form on the training track and in the practices matches he has certainly lost none of his magic. In fact he is looking fitter than when he left the club. Maybe that is to do with married life and fatherhood. Next week we play Mulgrave at home and we have two functions on the day Match Day Lunch 12.00 for 12.30 Lunch $30.00 ph (Life Members/Members/Sponsors - Meal Free of Charge) For Further Details & to RSVP Contact Alf Molinaro 0412 534410 by Tuesday 3rd April 2018 Player Auction Commencing at 6.30pm (after post match formalities) Spitting Image Catering will provide a spit roast which will be free of charge to all attendees For Further Details & to RSVP Contact Michael Gordon 0411 728800 also by Tuesday 3 April Good luck to all three teams today Go Lions

Our main oval is currently undergoing a significant upgrade and will be a vastly superior oval after the Monash Council invest almost $1 million in a major renovation, including all new drainage and turf.

DIVISION 2 PARK ORCHARDS: Well, here we are. After a long pre-season it’s round one and we welcome the Wantirna South Football Club and its supporters to Domeney Reserve for the first time. Last season could not have finished off better for the Club with all three teams taking out Premierships, including our first ever senior flag. The move up to Division 2 is welcomed and we embrace the challenges it will bring. We are ready – our coaches Jarrod Bayliss, Andrew Molloy, new Development Squad coach Matt Flemming and U19’s legend Tony Weeks have the boys fit and firing and we have recruited well. We look forward to taking on new teams, travelling to new grounds and making an impact in this Division. We also take this opportunity to acknowledge our major sponsor, Hoskins the Premium Property People as well as the AGI Group, Elephant & Co., Doncaster Mitre 10 and all of our sponsors. Without the support of these businesses we would not be where we are today and we thank them for their ongoing support. If you are a business and would like to partner with the Sharks in our quest for success in 2018, please contact our President Jeremy Thomas to discuss a mutually beneficial arrangement. We also call on all of our supporters to get on board and become a Sharks member. Becoming a member is one very tangible way of showing your support – details are available at www.parkorchardsfc.com.au or talk to a committee member at the ground today for details of the various membership packages available. Another way to show your support is to put up your hand and volunteer for a role on game day. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, so if you can help out with one of the match roles or maybe the gate or BBQ please see Ray Buhagiar – he will be very pleased to hear from you. It’s going to be an exciting ride in 2018, so be a part of it by joining up as a member or helping out on game day. Go Sharks!

#InFocus2018 | Park Orchards By: Brett Beston Twitter: @Brett_Beston

xcitement combined with a quiet optimism best describes the Park Orchards Sharks’ approach heading into the club’s maiden EFL Division 2 campaign.

Playing-coach Jarrod Bayliss, himself in just his second season with the club, is keeping a level head despite the historic 2017 campaign which saw the club take home three premierships. “As a group, I think we’re more excited for the opportunity than anything,” Bayliss said. “It’s hard to say where we’ll be at; our expectation is that we want to consolidate and really find our groove. “Until you get into it (the season) you really don’t know what the step up is. We’ve got a young side and they are really excited and we’ll be giving it all we’ve got.” Despite the end result last season, Bayliss says things were a bit rocky at the start. “It probably took us about four weeks to get going

and the turning point was probably against Scoresby where we came from behind and it really gave us a lot of self-belief and they (the players) started to understand the way that we wanted to play, and from there our game style evolved,” he said. “We really took the game on and were dangerous in all areas. I think from then on the boys really started to understand the way we wanted to play.” Bayliss believes the club’s recruiting in the off-season has been crucial. “We went out and got ourselves a spine (and) a couple of bigger-bodied midfielders,” he said. “That was our main downfall last year – a couple of bigger defenders and a good key centre half forward that could really get up the ground as well as being a backup ruckman. “It’s just those bigger bodies around the contest and having that key spine if we are to be competitive in Division 2.” The Sharks announced the signing of former Gold Coast and Carlton ruckman Daniel Gorringe (pictured) on Wednesday, in a player-mentor

#InFocus2018 | Park Orchards capacity helping out the side’s young talls, as well as potentially pulling on the boots himself at some stage. Bayliss credits club president Jeremy Thomas as being largely influential in luring the big-man to Domeney Reserve. “Jeremy actually taught him in South Australia, so the connection was there,” Bayliss said. A host of other new recruits have impressed the playing-coach this pre-season. “Joel Bleize is a Vermont boy and he’s been working really hard. He was at Warrandyte last year and didn’t play a heap of footy, but he’s been a bit of a surprise packet coming to the club for the right reasons,” Bayliss said. “It wasn’t about money he just wanted to play with his mates and he’s been setting the standard on the training track. “We’ve got my brother Jack back and he’s been training full tilt since Xmas. “Tommy Johnson a midfielder, who’s been runner up in several best and fairest awards in the last few years, he’s been away at university and travelling and was one of the best players the year before. “Shaun McMillan (Montrose) is a six-foot-four 19-year-old that can play forward, back, or in the ruck. He’s a big strong boy who played rugby last year, and loves the physical side of footy. “Andy Knee, who’s played at Montrose, is running a sole leadership program at the club, and is a monster.” The Sharks have also added former Croydon spearhead Brendan Weinert and Balwyn premiership player Jarrad Wright. “Brendan Weinert is exciting and to be honest he’s probably the fittest bloke at the club and he’s had a huge impact leadership wise having come across from Croydon,” Bayliss said. “Some of the things he’s shared about our training and how impressed he’s been with the boys have been really exciting for us coming into Division 2. “He’ll pinch hit but predominately he’ll play forward to really stretch opposition teams because he’s really agile. “He can play small or tall and he’ll give us another avenue to goal, as well as strengthening our midfield depth.” “Jarrad Wright is another; he’s going to be a really solid key defender for us as well as signing on as a senior assistant playing coach with a lot of knowledge coming from Balwyn, helping us with things like our short kicking, control of the footy and helping maintain possession and taking that side of our game to another level. 40

PICTURE: Getty Images “We know we can run, we know we can use the footy, we know we can kick long, but its bringing another element into our game, being able to maintain possession and forcing teams to defend up instead of letting them drop numbers back. “It’s about adding another dynamic and hopefully the hard work pays off.” Of the existing stock, Bayliss says Michael Fowkes is fitter than he’s been in about five years. “We are really looking forward to him having a huge impact this year,” Bayliss said. “He’s moving well, he’s dropped about six or seven kilos and we really haven’t seen the best of him, I guarantee you. “I think we will really stretch teams up forward this year with our strength and our avenues to goal.” With no significant departures and plenty of enthusiasm at training, the coach is understandably delighted with his young troops’ progress. “We started in the last week of January and we’ve been training two nights a week doing two hour sessions which gives the boys a chance to recover and have the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off,” he said. “The numbers have been amazing; we’ve had an average of about 50 players, a couple of times there we had 75 blokes on the track and it was just too much so we had to split them up. “We’ve got three practice games coming up – we play a team from Geelong as well Norwood and Scoresby. We’ve been doing a lot of match simulation. “Jarrad Wright has been amazed by how hard the boys have been going at the ball especially the kids. It’s the way they’ve been brought up, you train the way you play and hopefully that stands us in good stead.” How they adapt to the step up to Division 2 remains to be seen, but with a great attitude and talent to burn, 2018 might just be The Year of the Shark. Park Orchards will host Wantirna South at Domeney Reserve in Round 1, on Saturday, April 7.

DIVISION 3 HEATHMONT: Welcome to Season 2018 and what an opening…we play neighbours Ringwood, for round 1 of the Parker Family Cup, and a re-match of two finalists from 2017! It will be a BIG day down at the Hangar. It’s been a busy pre-season and it’s exciting to see the young players coming up through the ranks of the Juniors, along with the introduction of some new players to the club.

RINGWOOD: The President and committee welcome everyone back to the club for what we hope is another successful year for the Ringwood Football Club. A lot of work has been done during the off season which saw us appoint a new coaching panel along with the recruitment of several new players who will boost our playing stocks in both quality and numbers in both sides. Its great to welcome back to the club ex-premiership players in Brett Rowe and Kyle Matthews as Senior coach and assistant playing coach respectively and we know the club is in good hands under their guidance and professionalism. We wish them along with all new players the best of luck for the season and we hope they along with their families enjoy their season and everything the club provides in 2018. We also welcome and thank all our existing sponsors who have re-committed for the season and welcome our new sponsors on board and hope their involvement is a rewarding and enjoyable time. Our first up assignment sees us travel to take on our local neighbours Heathmont and once again the Seniors will be playing for The Parker Family Cup. As we currently hold the cup we are keen to retain it with a victory today and help kick start our season off in the best possible way. Good luck to all coaches and players for the year ahead and lets start with a couple of victories today.

DIVISION 3 TEMPLESTOWE: The Dockers have been back in Training since November and the Club is looking forward to a challenging year re-building in 2018. Our Social Calendar is planned out and our loyal Sponsors and supporters will have enjoyed a Season Launch yesterday. We are hosting Boronia at the Wharf so we welcome the Hawks and look forward to a great contest on the field. Our U19’s Team sees the emergence of new Coach, Ryan Bain, whose playing career came to an unfortunate end with another knee injury in 2017. He has assembled a great playing group from our existing 2017 team and added some new talented recruits to the mix. Travis Wason will again coach our Reserves, who came close to the Premiership dream last year, supporting Craig Decorsey in his second year at the helm of our Senior side. The press has been busy publishing the movement of players from our ranks but as Coach Craig points out it gives the younger brigade coming up through the club, a chance to show their talent. We welcome our new senior players to the group, special mention to Daniel Cripps and the brothers Blake, Tom and Max. Our Senior Leadership Group is Captain Daniel Pearce, VC’s Tom May and B & F winner Alex Brown assisted by Matt Bain, David DiStefano, Billy Lodge and Joel Dicarla.

SCORESBY: It only seems like yesterday that we were sitting in silence in the Central Reserve changerooms, pondering over how crushing losing a final can be...and yet now 6 months later we are refreshed and eager to tackle what looks like to be another challenging season of Division 3 Football. We would love to welcome on board Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Briens Real Estate as our new Major Sponsor as well as Bank of Queensland as our new Silver sponsor. We hope that you enjoy your involvement with our great Club over the coming years. We also welcome all of our new recruits, especially those players moving from U17s into our U19s this year. Over the summer months it has been fantastic seeing so many new and returning faces on the track. We welcome back our Senior Coach Scott Goldsworthy who will be ably assisted by Tony Vanin, our new Development coaching group of Scott Slater and Kam as well as our new U19s Coach, Michael Lowe. We thank you all for the way you have prepared the players for the upcoming season and hope their performances reflect all the fantastic work done to date. We also welcome our Scoresby Netball girls. Expanding from 1 team to 4 over the break has been an enormous task and the girls are ready to play some wonderful Netball over the next few months. To all our faithful supporters, we hope you thoroughly enjoy what our football and netball teams produce for 2018 and hope you get the opportunity to sing our club song many times during the year. Just a reminder that our First official function is on 21st April ( Rnd 3 V Boronia ) which is our Sponsors/Members luncheon. More details to follow !!! We would finally like to congratulate Scott Morrison from our opposition, Chirnside Park, on playing his 400th game today. An amazing effort. Well done. Go Pies.

DIVISION 3 WAVERLEY BLUES: Greetings and welcome to season 2018 for all Waverley Blues supporters, players, friends, families and pets. Welcome also to the Donvale FC players and officials for an exciting round one, playing for the unofficial Michael Foley Cup. The committee and players have been working hard all pre-season to put our best foot forward and we’re excited and ready to see the fruits of our labour on the paddock. The season has already been off to a tremendous start with a great night at Mulgrave Country Club for the Season Launch on Wednesday night. A good time was had by all. All of the club would like to pat former club treasurer Dwayne Wathen on the back for reaching a 150 game milestone today for the club. The mighty number one has stepped back from counting the club’s beans to focus on booting bags of goals and today we will all be rewarded for his new footy focus. Well done Pipesy! Tonight after the game we welcome all and sundry to stick around for the Electronic Scoreboard Sponsorship raffle. There will be food and drink and one lucky sponsor will win the rights as major scoreboard raffle sponsor for season 2018.

he Magpies capped off their 2017 season with the premiership flag in Division 4 and are looking to continue their competitive nature going into the 2018 season.

The Donvale side lead by playing coach Matt Fife is looking forward to the challenge of playing Division 3 football. “We want to play finals football, if not challenge it,” Fife said. “I want to continue our style of play, we’ve got a real running power which has advanced more so in the last year so I want to go to the next step with that.” The Magpies will be coming across some strong and quality teams this season and Fife believes that is going to factor into his team’s improvement. “Obviously the challenge is consistently playing quality teams each week, we’ve got a young group and I think that’s only going to make them better footballers,” he said. Looking towards the recruitment side of things, Donvale have picked up Jackson Freeman who is 2014 premiership player for Wantirna South, along with Nathan Mill from Doncaster East and Lachlan McKenzie from Division 1 side, Blackburn. “It’s sort of been our recruiting mall, bring guys in who would fit that personality mould and we know that they’re good people,” Fife said. “And those guys, ‘Jacko’ and ‘Nath’ have just fit in like they have been at the club for years.”

The Eastern Footballer

Though, they have needed to fill the void of the losses of two premiership players with Zac Haig transferring to Nunawading and Jesse Liebelt off to Division 1 side Doncaster. But Fife is confident that his club’s recruitment and development process will make up for the loss. “In terms of footy playing ability, we’ve tried to cover our losses in similar players, we brought in Ben Lyall from Whitefriars who was a Donvale junior,” he said. “Similar to Jesse in terms of a brilliant runner, probably one of the best runners at the club at the moment and he can find the footy.” The Magpies leading forwards Nick Murphy and Jack Purcell kicked over 150 goals between them last year. Murphy capped off a great year, winning the Frank Bibby Blue Ribbon Medal for best on ground in the grand final. Unfortunately, Purcell tore his ACL in the final last year so he won’t be seen in until late in the year, if at all. Fife who will undertake the player-coach role this season is looking forward to getting out on the track and has enjoyed his preseason. “I’ve had a pretty strong preseason so far, it’s been my most injury free preseason for a number of years. So I will definitely be pulling the boots on again,” he said. “I’ve just been trying to keep fit and be there out amongst the boys and hopefully I’ve got a few more games in me.”

#InFocus2018 | DONVALE

n an exciting time for Donvale, the club will be fielding its first-ever senior women’s team for the 2018 season. The Magpies announced Clint Martin as their coach who comes from the Knox Football Club after coaching their senior women’s team for the 2016-17 seasons. He is bringing with him an extensive football background with eight years of coaching females and playing over 300 games himself. “It’s been different because I’ve had to start from scratch,” Martin said. “Donvale is very supportive of the women’s team and me as a coach. Moving forward, especially this year they want everything in place so the girls can have a good year.” With the season just around the corner, the team getting in some match experience. Martin The 2018 senior women’s coach, Clint Martin. has given us an insight of who PICTURE: Donvale Football Club official website. to look out for this year. “Jess Crundall and another girl that then anything after five games is a bonus.” in Tina Liu, they’re a couple of Coming from another women’s football club, girls there to watch this space with their football Martin has had different experiences and has a careers,” he said. positive take on what the Donvale Football Club is “Jess has come up from the under-18s and she’s doing for girls and women’s football for the future. really improved a lot since under 18s and Tina, “At Donvale they are really right inside and they are she’s never played football before but what I really supportive.

Once again we will field an Under 19 team in 2018, which is important for the long-term viability of the club. A big Thank You to Adam Coghlan and Adam Williamson for all their hard work with this group. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the playing group, which has had an injection of new blood with two new members (David Carroll and Zoya Griffiths ) joining the committee. New sponsors have jumped on board with Beacon Lighting and Jamisons Airtools joining our growing list of club sponsors. We thank Elite Constuctions, CMR, East Burwood Travel and all our other sponsors for their continued support. The results of all of this hard work has seen 40 to 50 players on the track every night over the summer months showing the commitment required to turn the club around. The early signs have all been good with positive results from practice games. The one missing piece in the jigsaw is 4 points for a win. Hopefully this can be rectified on Saturday afternoon.

KILSYTH: Welcome back to all of our coaches,players, supporters and sponsors for the 2018 football season. The football club has been busy over the off season with a new look committee and a lot of new faces in the playing group. Special thanks to Noel Polkinghorne and the outgoing committee members for their tireless efforts over the last few seasons, we look forward to seeing you enjoying some stress free days at the footy this year. Newy and Rutts have a large list of talent to choose from this year and we are excited to see them roll out today against Fair Park. Make sure we all get around to the new families and introduce yourself as they are now a huge part of the Kilsyth family. Special mention to Jack Miechel for a speedy recovery after breaking his leg. Get well champ. You will be sorely missed. Go Cougars !!

DIVISION 4 SILVAN: With the 2018 season upon us our players, sponsors and members are excited to see a turnaround at the cattery following a power off hard work in the off season. From an on field perspective the club has appointed Trent Martin as our Senior playing Coach, a highly rated, experienced leader from Croydon who has played at some very respected levels of football. Trent has done an outstanding job recruiting and the preseason has seen a profound sense of positivity. Jason Rowe, a 2-time premiership player at the club returns to take on the assistant coaches’ role whilst Greg Smith has returned from Queensland and will assume the role as Reserves Coach. The club has also worked tirelessly to field an under 19’s side which will be coached by Adrian Cannata. “Ada” took the Rowville Knights under 17 team to a premiership last year losing just the one game for the year. Ada is also a veteran player of the club and was a part of the 2002 premiership. From an off field perspective we have appointed a new president in Charlie Caputo who has taken over the riens from Chris Maclagan who did an outstanding job for 7 years and remains on the committee as well as some fresh new faces who have put their hand up to play a role and together we are all determined to see the club succeed both on and off field. To all the players, families, members & sponsors we thank you for your commitment and on going support and look forward to seeing the cats climb back up the ladder in 2018!

DIVISION 4 NUNAWADING: Welcome back for the 2018 season to all members and supporters of the Nunawading Football Club. 2018 seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us continue our rebuild and we, as a club, can see great steps have been taken during the off-season. We have welcomed around a dozen new players many of whom will slot straight into our senior team. Pre season has been long and hard but the work that has been put in by our boys will take us further on our path to restoring the Lions pride. Further growth has been seen in our Netball teams with the girls looking to continue on the form that saw them make a preliminary final last year as well as fielding a second team. Well done girls. On the 28th of April the club will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of our 2008 reserves premiership. Tickets are now available for $50 via the club Facebook page, keep an eye out for more info. Thank you to all our fantastic sponsors, each week we will be featuring a different sponsor and to kick off the year we are featuring CA Property Group.
