Our family had a working relationship 40 years strong with William Buck. Their team really understood our business. Our biggest challenge in the last 5 years has been seeking finance as we executed our growth plans. Our advisors have been our greatest allies and outcomes have been significant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30% increase in sales, financial stability and most importantly, peace of mind, which lets us sleep well at night. We now plan to double our turnover through a second redevelopment. So more fresh thinking will be in order. We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good hands.

125 YEARS STILL LOVING THE GAME. The build-up to any season is exciting as the anticipation increases each week during March as the practice matches get more intense. I am sure that I have written that this year the excitement levels are even higher but this season it must be greater. Anyone who was at the Sportscover VAFA Season’s Launch last week or at the Women’s Lightning Premiership matches on the weekend would attest to the enthusiasm the women’s teams have brought to their club and indeed the whole competition. The VAFA’s 125-year anniversary coincides with the arrival of 40 new teams into the competition in a single year; the biggest growth in the VAFA’s history. And aren’t the women excited? Last weekend we had 24 teams at Sportscover Arena playing off for two premierships with the Oggettes (Old Geelong) and the SheEagles (Marcellin) winning their respective matches. This season there will be so many firsts in the Wilson’s Women’s League; the first match, the first Rising Star, the first competition best and fairest winner, and of course the first premiers. I will endeavour to explain the setup of the competition in four steps. 1. We start with four teams in the Premier Section – AJAX, Brunswick Renegades, Fitzroy ACU and SKOB Saints. 2. The remaining 36 teams will be playing in grading games in the first three rounds. 3. After these grading games at least four teams will be promoted to the Premier Section whilst the remaining 32 teams will be placed in four sections according to standard. Other variables like geography and preferred playing times will also be considered when the four Development League competitions are finalised. 4. 14 Rounds in total with a final four finals series.

@vafaceo If the enthusiasm displayed by the coaches, players, umpires, volunteers and spectators is anything to go by then the competition will be an outstanding success. With all the enthusiasm and focus on the women’s competition, the men’s competition is thriving with 240 teams striving to win one of the 27 available premierships. Questions that are at the front of my mind are:

• Where is the improvement going to come from Old Trinity after two grand final losses? • Will the top end recruitment from St Kevin’s bring about that elusive William Buck Premier flag? • Can St Bernard’s bounce straight back to Premier? • Can Monash Blues or Peninsula inject new blood into the Premier Section in 2018? • Can the Nick Bourke/George Burbury combination take Old Geelong to Premier B? • How far can Preston Bullants go with their current playing list? • Will Glen Eira continue the rebuild and power through Division 2? • Can Westbourne win back to back after going through 2016 undefeated? • Can St Francis Xavier return to Division 4 and win the flag? • Can Chadstone win for the first time since Round 10, 2015? This year we are celebrating our 125 year anniversary and there is a great promotional video where VAFA legend John Bell narrates a fictional letter to the first president of the VAFA, William Davis. The video highlights the achievements of the VAFA and what sets us apart from every other competition. In line with our anniversary, the VAFA has a new logo that has the words Still Loving the Game inscribed. This has a sense that whilst we are the oldest competition, our values still hold true and will continue to do so for the next 125 years.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Nick Armistead

AFL INFLUENCED OFF-SEASON The off-season we’ve recently endured has been littered with speculation and rumour but, unlike years gone passed, genuine outcomes have arisen as a result. No less than 14 AFL-listed players have filed for transfers into the VAFA with 12 of those heading to William Buck Premier clubs. The two outliers – former Essendon FC midfielders Jason Ashby and Will Hams – will ply their trade for Old Carey in Premier B and help the Panthers regroup after suffering relegation in 2016. There’s a number of reasons AFL players are heading for our Association; including, the restrictions of AFL Victoria’s Player Salary Cap Policy, the prospect of building a career outside of football via the elite networking capabilities of our clubs and, most importantly, the ever-increasing standard of VAFA football. While opinions differ drastically with regards to former AFL players transferring into our Association, 12 in one pre-season will only strengthen the quality and increase the buzz around community footballs’ top section. Nothing interests me more than the prospect of Jay Shulz, Mitch Brown and Mark Jamar lining up for St Kevin’s and adapting to the fast-paced nature of VAFA football. Are they the difference between eighth on the ladder and a finals berth? Quite possibly. Can you imagine adding Tim Golds and Alex Brown to a premiership outfit as strong as Old Xaverians? Old Trinity has played in two consecutive grand finals and they’re adding Hugh Beasley straight from Brisbane, while Tom Temay is back to the ever-impressive Old Melburnians. Collegians could fight for a flag in 2017 based on the strength of their recruitment, with former Demon, Viv Michie, and returnee, Lachie Ferguson, leading a host of key ins. Jason Tutt adds (more) elite pace to De La Salle and Alex Woodward is on the list down at St Bedes/Mentone Tigers, while Cam O’Shea and Luke Russel could line up for University Blues. 2

@NickArmistead Any number of scenarios are possible in season 2017 and I look forward to attempting to decipher them each week. Xavs are coming off a thrilling seven-point grand final victory over the T’s and their list has only strengthened. Former player and ex-Demon, James McDonald, replaced premiership coaches, Ted Woodruff and Pat Hawkins, as part of a longterm strategic plan aimed at delivering results in 2017 and beyond. Joining McDonald back at Toorak Park are former Big V representatives, Chris Waller and Murphy Ambrose, while 2014 NFL Best & Fairest and former Panton Hill skipper, Tyler Scarce, adds further depth to the most impressive overall list in the competition. The T’s continued their fast-paced, attractive style of ball in 2016 but fell short at the final hurdle. Beasley’s inclusion is as important as the club’s leaders’ decision to limit mid-year holidays and prevent the same form slump of four losses from five games which occurred from Round 7 to 11 last year. Captain and two-time Woodrow Medallist, Brendan Iezzi, has half a season under his belt and his ability to play the entire year will go a long way to claiming the breakthrough premiership so deserved down at Daley Oval. Quinton Gleeson stood down after a great career at the helm of Uni Blues, with James Walker taking the reins for 2017. Walker has been an assistant to Gleeson and his experience as a player at Fremantle bodes well for the continued improvement of the list. While it remains to be seen how many games we can expect from O’Shea and Russell, 2015 Woodrow Medallist, Ross Young, has returned from the North Central FL, and an injury-free Tim Geappen will add the consistent fire power up forward often lacking throughout 2016. A number of personnel from a variety of leagues have joined Uni Blacks but the main source of development in the senior team will come from the Blacks’ Academy. And who better to do it under than Cam Roberts? 2017 will be Roberts’ second year back at the helm after taking the Blacks to premiership glory in 2014. Tyson Kruse (EFL) and Brendan Dess (PFNL) are key departures, but with Bede Mahon, Josh Steadman and Lochie Dornauf leading the charge, Blacks will be in the finals hunt again in 2017. De La Salle’s inconsistency through the back half THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

of last season ultimately cost them finals, falling from first to fifth in the space of nine rounds. Tutt’s inclusion is arguably the most important of all transfers, with his pace and ability to find the goals accompanying fellow forward recruit, Josh Scipione. Damien Rayson (PNFL), Hugh Nicholson (AFL Cairns) and Xavier Murphy (EFL) will be sorely missed as each provide run and carry through the midfield but Michael Chippendale, who was named in the top 50 SANFL players in 2015, and Tutt should offset their losses. Led by Sam Williams, Tom Humphrey, Matt Fieldsend and 2016 Woodrow Medallist, Jake Williams, De La will beat any team on any given day.

VAFA’s highest section, with Premier B grand finalists, Beaumaris and St Bedes/Mentone Tigers, returning due to their successful 2016 campaigns. Adam Schneider has taken the reins at the Sharks, while former premiership player Sam Anstey will lead his beloved Tigers. The belief between the two clubs is strong as they look to solidify their place in William Buck Premier.

OM’s were the surprise packet of 2016 after gaining promotion via a grand final loss the year before. Led by 2016 Premier Coach of the Year, Nathan Brown, and Big V star, Thomas Paule, OMs caused a number of upsets against higher ranked opponents (De La Salle, Uni Blacks and Old Xaverians). With Temay’s inclusion, a regular Josh Freezer down back and a year of William Buck Premier under their belt, OMs should be fighting for finals come Round 15.

TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD

Collegians will make big strides forward in 2017 after finishing seventh last year on the back of just eight wins. With an average of 64ppg, coach Shane Joyce identified holes in their list and made the necessary changes, with Michie, Ferguson, Nick Dixon, Kalem Post (Mazenod), Corey Cassidy (EFL), Kyle Emley (EFL) and Jake Trotter (EFL) just a few talented names joining the Lions. With one of the strongest defenses in the competition, expect the Lions to improve upon last year’s results and fight for a finals berth. As previously mentioned, SKOB were the recruitment kings of the off-season as they bolstered their stocks following an eighth-place finish in 2016. Will Coates to Richmond VFL is a big loss as his ability to act as a utility at either end was a standout of SKOB’s 2016 campaign, but they regain the fulltime services of Nick Wood. While their ground speed may be down compared to fellow top four aspirants, new coach Shannon Grant will, without doubt, have the strongest spine in William Buck Premier to work with alongside a host of talented youngsters who took out both the U19 Premier and U19 Premier Reserve flags last year. There are two new clubs vying for success in the THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

PREMIER B

David Chalmers

PREMIER B OPEN FOR BUSINESS Welcome to another season of Premier B footy for 2017. Last season we were joined by the Beaumaris Sharks from William Buck Premier and they achieved immediate redemption, going through as clearly the best side and defeating St Bedes/ Mentone by five goals in the Grand Final. The Tigers produced another high quality season and also take the step up to Premier after just missing out in 2015. At the other end of the ladder, Hampton Rovers and Old Haileybury joined Premier C after managing just four wins each for the season. We are joined by St Bernard’s (five wins) and Old Carey (one win) from Premier section, while Mazenod and Peninsula are up from Premier C. Ajax (7th, 7-11) were the talk of the VAFA in the off-season, recruiting AFL and SANFL legend Mark ‘Choco’ Williams as their senior coach for 2017. The Jackas will be contesting their sixth straight season in Premier B. After finishing 5th for three years in a row and winning three in a row early on in 2016, they couldn’t produce any consistency during the season, finishing toward the lower end of the ladder. The Jackas will be led on the field by captain Nick Marks. Despite losing the first four games in 2016, Fitzroy (5th, 10-7-1) recovered to become one of the form teams in Premier B. They ended up missing finals action by half a game, when results did not go their way in Round 18. Co-captains Rory Angiolella and Daniel Bisetto led by example, finishing equal third in the GT Moore medal count. Nick Mitchell will be the Roys sole senior coach in 2017 after sharing the role with Michael Pickering in 2016. The Roys are entering their fifth season in Premier B, and will be looking to progress to finals action in 2017. Mazenod (2nd in Premier C, 14-3-1) rejoins Premier B after one season in C section. Led by new coach Ben Phibbs, the Nodders won their first 11 games and ended up second behind Caulfield, before belting the Fields in the semi-final and earning automatic promotion back to Premier B. The club will be led once again by captain Rob Mann and 4

assisted by Stuart Inglis and Steve Welsford, who also finished top three in the club’s best and fairest. Coach Ben Phibbs said “We are looking to keep the momentum going from a successful 2016. Having kept the premiership twenty-two together, we are looking forward to the challenge of the higher grade. We do not go in with trepidation or fear, rather a sense of excitement to see how we respond to the challenge of playing strong VAFA clubs.” Monash Blues (4th, 11-7) will be looking to build on an impressive debut in Premier B in 2016, which saw them make the finals despite losing four of their first six games. After losing coach Paul Groves to the AFLW, the Blues gained Mark Passador who took Old Scotch to the Premier B preliminary final in 2016. The club will also be led by new cocaptains, Maddison Hardiman and Andrew Young. Monash games record holder Andrew Hickey has retired, but will be back at the club as an assistant coach. Old Brighton (6th, 9-9) returns as part of the Premier B furniture after finishing a couple of games outside finals action in 2016. Seven straight losses in the middle stages were followed by seven wins in the last eight games. Greg Hutchison will be returning as senior coach. According to Tonners scribe Andrew Mullet: “the squad is slightly deeper than last year with Ben Jarick, Ollie Cavallaro and Luke Forato returning from overseas, and Jack Toouli (Brighton Grammar via Hampton Rovers) and Paddy Liston, both new players, impressing on the track. Tom Fisher and Harry Hill had terrific seasons and will again be key players. Dylan Verney, Ben Austen, Andrew and Michael Dewar and Stuart Hooy head a band of experienced players who will balance out a group expected to have a solid season.” Old Carey (10th in Premier, 1-17) returns to Premier TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Old Carey v Old Scotch Mazenod v St Bernards Peninsula v Old Brighton Monash v Ajax Parkdale v Fitzroy

B after a couple of seasons up in the top flight. They will once again be led by co-coaches Paul O’Connell and Michael Tarrant, while Cameron Jones remains captain. A bevy of new recruits join the Panthers; including, former Essendon midfielder Jason Ashby, former Gold Coast Suns captain Marc Lock, Jordan Ceppi, Sam Crocker and George Curnow. Old Scotch (3rd, 11-7) had a solid first season in Premier B after being relegated at the end of 2015. The Cardinals won seven of their first nine games and spent the whole season in the top four, before being beaten in the preliminary final by Beaumaris. Dale Bower will replace Mark Passador as senior coach in 2017, while Jack Bull retains the captaincy and Gene Van Den Broek remains vicecaptain. “We are looking to develop the young players at the club and build a footy program that is sustainable and will help us realise our long term goals, we are all looking forward to the 2017 season.” Parkdale Vultures (8th, 7-11) will saddle up for their third straight Premier B campaign with new coach Jason Bristow. They were unable to maintain any sort of consistency during 2016, but did have leader Charlie Dillon win the GT Moore medal. Matt Boland should return after injury his knee in Round 1 last year after kicking five goals to the start of the second term. Peninsula (3rd in Premier C, 12-6) have earned themselves a spot in Premier B after upsetting top side Caulfield in the 2016 preliminary final. The Pirates were no match for Mazenod in the Big One, but now can test themselves in a higher grade. It’s the first time the Pirates have ever entered Premier B and Stu Grigg will lead them again in 2017. St Bernard’s (9th in Premier, 5-13) president Patrick Crabb is looking forward to seeing his young players embrace the challenge of Premier B footy after being relegated at the end of 2016. “The club has seen it all in the last two years, an A grade flag followed by relegation. As is the case with many clubs, player turnover continues to rise, as it has again this preseason. Of the 41 players who played senior football in the 2015 premiership, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

only 20 remain on our list. This of course gives tremendous opportunity for our young emerging players. This year our expectation is that this emerging group of youngsters, being guided by a core of experienced senior leaders, will see the club perform very strongly in B Grade.”

PREMIER C

Mitch op’t Hoog

THE LONG WAIT IS OVER The autumn leaves are falling, the long nights are growing shorter and the smell of footy is in the air once again. Season 2017 is here! Before we sink our teeth into the season ahead, let’s take a quick look back at 2016 and the year that was. Caulfield Grammarians had a heartbreaking finals campaign which saw them go out in straight sets after finishing top of the ladder at the end of the regular season. Caulfield’s fall from grace gave third placed Peninsula OB a shot at the title against Mazenod. Despite Mazenod’s ascendancy throughout the year, it was Peninsula who got off to a flyer, holding their opponents goalless in the first term. Despite their slow start, the week off paid dividends for Mazenod who ran out the grand final in style to finish the game with a 34-point premiership victory. We wish both Mazenod and Peninsula all the best in Premier B this season. At the other end of the ladder, it was Ormond and Oakleigh who struggled throughout 2016 in Premier C and will find themselves competing in Division 1 in 2017. Ormond’s time in the premier grades was short-lived, lasting only one season, but Oakleigh’s descent into Division 1 ends a 10year run in the premier grades. With some strong recruiting from both teams over the summer break, we hope to see them back up in Premier C soon. Now onto season 2017, and with some old faces gone, we see some fresh clubs joining our ranks. After successful campaigns in Division 1 last year, Old Geelong and Old Mentonians will join the premier divisions. It was Old Geelong who took home the silverware in a spirited grand final last year, defeating Old Mentonians by eight points. Dropping down to join Premier C from Premier B is Hampton Rovers and Old Haileybury, who’ll look to improve their stock and get back on the winners list after a disappointing 2016. 6

Round 1 in Premier C presents us with some enticing match-ups including Caulfield Grammarians coming up against Old Ivanhoe, which is sure to be a competitive battle as both teams finished in the top four last season. Old Ivanhoe finished fourth with ten wins and seven losses and went down to Peninsula in the semi final. While they’ve lost a few key players in Chris Johnson and Will Murphy, Old Ivanhoe have had a solid off-season of recruiting and have bolstered their stock with plenty of young players signing-on in 2017. Their opponents, Caulfield, will be looking to start the year off with strong win to bounce back from a disheartening finals campaign. A raft of off-season recruits, a solid pre-season under their belt and a taste for redemption, Caulfield are likely favourites for the Premier C flag in 2017. I’m tipping Caulfield to win by five goals in a hard-fought match between two sides who will both be looking for success at the pointy end of the season. Another exciting fixture for round one is the 2016 Division 1 Grand Final rematch between Old Geelong and Old Mentonians. With former St. Bedes Player, Steve D’andrea, on board in 2017 as new coach, Mentonians will look to endorse some Luke Beveridge tactics in 2017 and play some fast, attacking footy. Old Geelong have also had a strong recruitment campaign in the off season signing up a number new names, and retaining ex-AFL player, George Burbury. They’ve also appointed Nick Bourke as their head coach, who knows exactly what it takes to achieve success, having previously coached Xavs to three flags. You can expect Mentonians to come out hard with a taste for revenge, but I’m tipping Old Geelong to hold off an early onslaught and get the win in round one. This should be a corker of a match! Old Camberwell had an admirable 2016 after battling against relegation in 2015. They managed to end the year with seven wins and eleven losses which placed them 6th on the ladder at the end of the regular season. They’ll look to improve on their performance from last year and with the retainment of key players, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

such as Nick Latsas and the Bennett brothers, they should be pushing for finals in 2017. In round one, they’ll come up against Marcellin who finished 8th last year, narrowly avoiding relegation with six wins. This showdown should prove to be a battle of the midfields and a great test to see how much each team has developed in the off season. I’m tipping Old Camberwell to win by two points in a nailbiter. After winning a premiership in 2014 and then again 2015, Kew will be disappointed they weren’t able to continue their winning streak in 2016. In saying that, Kew had a respectable season in 2016, finishing fifth, narrowly missing out on finals. With a few key signings in the off season, including former Adelaide Footy League player and our Division 1 Scribe, Brinley Duggan, Kew will look to push for the top four this year and continue their recent trend of scaling divisions. In round one, Kew will come up against the relegated Hampton Rovers, who’ll be looking to turn their luck around in 2017. While they’ve had a massive amount of signings during the offseason, at both junior and senior level, they’ve lost a key player in Richard Atkins, who was named in their best 10 times last year. Kew should run out the game victorious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Hampton produced an upset. I’m tipping Kew by three goals to open their account in 2017. The other recently relegated team, Old Haileybury, will take on Williamstown CYMS in round one, which will be a great test for both sides. Williamstown finished seventh last year, with seven wins to their name and during the off-season have managed to maintain a majority of their best 22 and should push for finals. Old Haileybury will look to employ youth from their 2016 under 19 premiership side to beef up their team list. Under 19 competition best-and-fairest winner, Jack Munro, and runner-up, Brodie Steele, will be welcome inclusions into the seniors team. Should Old Haileybury maintain and develop their young list over the coming years, I’d expect their return to Premier B to come soon. I’m tipping the home team, Williamstown, to win in a tight match.

OFFICIAL WELCOME The VAFA would like to officially welcome three new employees, Shona McInnes, Rajman D Kaur and Mitch op’t Hoog. Shona joined the VAFA in October 2016 as the newly-appointed Women’s Football Club Development Officer ahead of the VAFA’s firstever women’s competition in 2017. She has a strong history in community football, having previously sat on the Board of Melbourne University Football Club as well as spending two years as President of Kew Junior Football Club.

Rajman has strong experience in finance and is looking after accounts payable/receivable, payroll, Superannuation and various other finance-related responsibilities. An extremely passionate cricket fan, she now considers football her second-favourite sport and follows Collingwood in the AFL. Mitch joined the VAFA in late March and will be overseeing our weekly production of the VAFA Amateur Footballer Record for season 2017. Mitch graduated from RMIT in 2015 with honours in Media and Communication and has spent the past year travelling and working. An extremely passionate footy fan, mitch supports Richmond in the AFL and was part of the VAFA Division 1 reserves premiership side at St Mary’s Salesian last year.

VAFA WOMEN’S The wave of enthusiasm surrounding women’s football has been incredible, with the VAFA recently registering its 1295th women’s player. Many of those players strutted their stuff at the first-ever Women’s Lightning Premiership over the weekend, with 24 teams and more than 700 players taking part at Sportscover Arena. AFLW player, Alison Brown, presented the trophies to the winning sides on both days.

NORM LAYS DOWN HIS PEN Norm Nugent has made the decision to step down from his position of Club XVIII scribe after first penning his weekly Amateur Footballer column in 1976. Barring a few years off in between, Norm has covered the Clubbies religiously and served the VAFA with the utmost dedication. The VAFA thanks Norm for his years of service as he will be sorely missed from the within the pages of this record.

LIFE MEMBERS The VAFA inducted two new life members at last week’s VAFA Sportscover Season Launch, with Sue Anderson and Tom Brain deserving recipients. Both have dedicated their lives to the Association, with Sue starting out with her beloved Hampton Rovers as a young girl and working for the VAFA for 35 years.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to Swinburne Uni AFC player, TOM KENNEDY, who will play game 150 this week. The quiet man has many accolades to his name; He is a 4 time reserves leading goal kicker (2010-13), with a career best of 87 goals in 2012; Runner Up Best & Fairest in the reserves in 2010 and 2012, and was a key member of the 2012 Reserves Premiership side. His achievements in the seniors are just as impressive, winning the goal kicking three years in a row from 201416, and in 2014 being adjudged most improved in his debut year. A prodigious kick of the footy, Tom is an expert in the art of goal kicking. Congratulations Tom. Congratulations to BEN AYACHE of the St Johns Old Collegians Football Club who plays his 100th game this weekend. Ben is a versatile, running defender who regularly turns defence into attack for the JOCS. Capable of using both sides of his body, Ben has forged a quality career at Thomas Carroll Reserve.

Congratulations to St Johns Old Collegians Football Club Vice Captain LIAM Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNOR on reaching 100 games in the yellow, green and black. Liam is a long kicking, uncompromising defender, who has made it very difficult for many forwards whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the trip to Dandenong over the years.

AFTER A LONG WAIT, 2017 HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! We can now look back candidly on last season, which offered us action-packed Saturdays and a nail-biting Grand Final between Old Mentonians and Old Geelong. Ogs took the hard road to the Grand Final, detouring via the Prelim. The extra weeks’ rest for the Panthers showed as they got off to flyer, taking a two-goal lead into quarter time. In the second quarter, Ogs turned the tables and booted six goals to two and that’s where the game was won. Both sides kicked five goals in the tense second half which saw Ogs hold on by eight points to snare their first flag in 11 years. Team of the year centre half forward, Callum Wood, was the brightest star on Grand Final day and took home the best on ground medal. It was an even contribution across the board from both teams, which resulted in the tense, competitive match we’d all hope for. It’s sad to say goodbye to the previous year’s Grand Finalists, especially teams that boast local footy stars like ex-AFL player, George Burbury, and LS Pepper Medallist, Daniel Maitland. Unfortunately, we also had to say goodbye to Old Paradians and Prahran-Assumption who were relegated after spirited attempts to survive Division 1. As we bid farewell to some old foes, we look toward the arriving clubs for newfound happiness. From Premier C, we welcome Ormond after a oneyear adventure and extend our arms to Oakleigh after a 10-year run in the Premier grades. Ormond will be disappointed they were relegated after just one year in the premier grade, but they must now look ahead to 2017. Senior Coach, Ash Lever, will want to remind the league of the 2015 season in Division 1 in which they won 17 games. 2016 best and fairest, Luke Gogis, will be missed if picked for Sandringham but some gun under 19 recruits along with Matt and Travis Hine from Mansfield will help Ormond consolidate as contenders for the flag. Oakleigh will be gutted to be in Division 1 after 10 years in the Premier grades and will look to head back up as soon as possible. Coach Jamie Mollo will expect gun forward Aaron Cloke to once again 16

dominate in front of goal. The loss of 2016 captain, and co-best and fairest, Dermot Cleary, is rough but multiple 19s recruits will headline a recovery. Oakleigh should be pushing for finals contention in 2017. Up from Division 2 we offer a round of applause to Grand Final winners Preston who won their third flag in four years under supercoach George Wakim. Injuries sustained in the finals campaign forced retirements of important players, but they are confident that tapping into the talent of their solid 19s team will cover those losses. The midseason return of ex-TAC cup gun, Tindarra Hood, should help push Preston towards a successful 2017. St. John’s will also be looking to make an impression in Division 1 after a strong season in Division 2. Coach Anthony Brannan will hope 81goal juggernaut, Aaron Thornton, and standout Division 2 medallist, Glenn Costas, can match their output from last year. Strong recruiting over summer has St. John’s ready to step-up and push for promotion into the premier grades. Of our six returning clubs, PEGS seem the most likely contenders for the flag in 2017 after making it into the second week of finals last year. Coach Dane Pound has the reins again and he’s bolstered his team with strong additions such as Adrian Romanyk, runner up in the RDFL league medal. Hugh Schiavello, a CHF from Kyneton, will look to pair up with gun Trent Skurrie and form an unstoppable forward line. While Therry Penola made the finals last year they failed to make inroads. First year coach, Anthony Palmer, will want to evolve the strong club he has inherited into true flag contenders this season. Leading Division 1 goal kicker last year, Jarrod Bannister (77 goals), and several solid players TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD St Johns v St Mary's Brunswick NOBSPC v WhiteFriars Therry Penola v Ormond PEGS v Oakleigh Preston Bullants v Ivanhoe

have departed the club and they may struggle to cover those losses. Therry will want to capitalise on an injection of youth if they want to push for a premiership this year. St. Mary’s Salesian missed out on finals last year and will be disappointed not to have lived up to expectations. Incoming coach, Erwin Leyden, has a big job ahead of him, filling the boots of the departing coach, Jess Sinclair, who coached the team to promotion in 2014. While they’ve lost some talent in 2016 best-and-fairest winner, Mitch Woods, they’ll look to promote players, such as the Bussell brothers, James Barrie and Nick Ludwig, from their 2016 reserves premiership side to fill the void. SMS has also managed to secure the services of key-forward, Jay Canterbury, who will look to combine with Manny Dolan to form a strong attack and push the Saints towards success in 2017. With a bit of a luck, St. Mary’s will be in amongst the finals conversation in 2017 and not fighting relegation. In their first year after promotion, Ivanhoe finished the regular season in sixth place with eight wins to cap off a solid return to Division 1. Leigh Cole, in his second year back as coach, will look to capitalise on strong foundations set last season. While they struggled with recruitment in the offseason, losing seven players and gaining only few, they’ll be relying on growth from within to consolidate 2017. They have retained young guns, Reuben Blackmore-Moore, and dual best-andfairest winner, Mitchell Lovell, who will look to dominate again in 2017. Whitefriars finished one game clear of relegation and will want to improve on their 2016 output. Coach, Dean Thorne, will expect improvement across the board to help cover the loss of bestand-fairest winner, Sean Currie. The development of a strong group of juniors hopes to underscore their charge up the Division 1 ladder in years to come, 2017 will hopefully lay some foundations for future success. Brunswick NOBSPC scraped through in 2016 after some spirited performances in August. They’ll THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

look to use their form from the end of last year to fire them into 2017. Coach, Luke Mahoney, will be expecting big things in his second year after securing multiple strong recruits from higher grades over the summer. Former Kyabram District midfielder, Geremie Ganino, is expected to make a big impact and help push Brunswick towards the finals. The familiar smell of menthol, strapping and new boots has us salivating over this season. Fierce rivalries and newfound nemeses await and I can’t wait to talk you through the tight battles and gossip-worthy debates of Div 1.

@JMcGuane

WELCOME BACK! With 2016 now in the rear-view mirror and the pre-season behind us, it’s time for the 2017 VAFA season to get underway. Division 2 says goodbye to last year’s premiers, the Preston Bullants, and the runners up, St Johns OC, as they head to Division 1. We also bid farewell to the bottom-placed Richmond Central as they drop down to Division 3. The 2016 Grand Final saw St Johns OC (JOC), who only had one loss for the year, face the thirdplaced Preston Bullants at Casey Fields. The JOC’s would take a lead into quarter time but from then on the Bullants had control of the match. St Johns OC were far from embarrassed and constantly threatened to steal back the lead from Bullants, who had defeated Yarra Valley OB and West Brunswick on the way to the Grand Final. However, every time the JOCs threatened, the powerful Bullant’s midfield, lead by the Marcon brothers, managed to wrestle back control of the game. In the end, the Bullants won by a narrow margin of 12 points. In 2017, Division 2 welcomes four exciting teams into the mix, Prahran Assumption and Old Paradians, coming back from Division 1; and Glen Eira and Hawthorn gaining promotion from Division 3. Prahran Assumption knew of their relegation a few rounds out from the end of the season, finishing with only three wins and a draw. While Old Paradians did not learn their fate until the final round, where a draw with Prahran Assumption earlier in the season left them a gut-wrenching two points short of Division 1 survival. It was Glen Eira and Hawthorn who were the class of Division 3 all season and were always destined to meet in the Grand Final. In the end, it was the second-placed Glen Eira who came out on top by an impressive 18

47 points. Now that 2016 is behind these four new clubs, it’ll be interesting to see how the year ahead plays out for them. With the form each have showed in the past, they all look like sides not to be taken lightly. Emmaus St Leos finished in eighth last season, narrowly avoiding relegation. However, they showed some signs of brilliance throughout the year which showcased the balance of Division 2. This season, led by the two Baranello’s and the goal kicking power of Daniel Hill, they will be threatening to jump up the ladder and taste some finals success. In 2016, Bulleen/Templestowe proved that they were a strong defensive side and constantly held opponents off in low scoring games. Their issues came when the games opened up against stronger opponents and they lacked a consistent goal scorer to match it with the best. With their defensive strength, they will be close to challenging for the top four in 2017. Eltham Collegians were one of the sides who developed as the season went on and had it not been for a poor start to the season, they could have been fighting for a spot in the finals. Throughout the year, they relied heavily on the goals of Ben Gill, who has, unfortunately, left for the Northern Football League. We hope someone will be able to fill his role and help Eltham taste success in 2017. However, with the four new teams, Eltham face a tough season TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Emmaus St Leos v Bulleen/Templestowe MHSOB v Old Paradians Glen Eira v West Brunswick Hawthorn v Yarra Valley OB Eltham Collegians v Prahran Assumption

ahead, yet, with the fight they displayed last year, they should secure safety well before the end of the season. MHSOB were the unluckiest of all the sides that missed out on finals last season, finishing fifth after a loss in the final round that saw Yarra Valley OB leap frog them into fourth place. With consistent performances from their forwards, MHSOB managed to win some very competitive, high-scoring encounters and will look to capitalise on that again this year. Despite their success in tough games last year, they had some issues when it came to playing sides below them and giving up leads late in matches. If in 2017, MHSOB learn to tighten the screws and finish strong, they should be back in the winners’ books and eyeing off a premiership flag. Yarra Valley OB proved to be a very good side during their first year in Division 2, managing to sneak into the finals after MHSOB slip-up in the final round of the regular season. They were an all-round competitive team who took it to the top sides in all meeting. They will look to build on last year’s first round finals loss to the eventual premiers and once again push for finals in 2017. West Brunswick’s bid for their third promotion in as many years fell one game short after they were knocked out of the finals in straight sets in 2016. Throughout the year, they looked like the biggest challenger to St Johns OC, earning their second-place finish on the ladder. They are well placed to take the next step in 2017 and are my tip as flag favourites for the year ahead.

welcome Old Paradians to Division 2 with a tough affair at Melbourne High School. Bennettswood Sport Ground plays host to 2017 battlers Emmaus St Leos and Bulleen/ Templestowe. Hawthorn takes their first steps following promotion against Yarra Valley OB at the tight confines of Rathmines Road Reserve. And Prahran Assumption hopes to put 2016 behind them as they travel to Eltham College to face the Turtles. Good luck to all teams for season 2017.

DIVISION 3

Mitch op’t Hoog

A TIGHT CONTEST REQUIRES A STRONG START. Last year, Hawthorn AFC and Glen Eira were a class above in Division 3. Managing to finish first and second, respectively, at the end of the regular season the two teams were scripted to meet in the grand final before the finals series had even begun. While it was Hawthorn who finished atop the regular season ladder, it was second placed Glen Eira who took the opportunity and ran out emphatic premiers, winning by a margin of 47 points in the Grand Final. While Hawthorn managed to keep Glen Eira within striking distance for the first three quarters, it was a four goal to none final term that solidified the premiership silverware for Glen Eira. As we bid farewell to Glen Eira and Hawthorn who scale the ranks to Division 2, we also say adios to Elsternwick, Aquinas and Parkside who struggled to gain any momentum in 2016, finishing with only seven wins between them, and will be heading to Division 4 in 2017. Our first new team for season 2017 will be Richmond Central, who have dropped down from Division 2, after failing to win a game last year. We’re hoping their luck can turn around with some strong recruiting over the off-season. They’ve also got a new coach, Shannon Collins, who will look to inject new energy into the team and get them back on the winners list. Their first game for 2017 will be against Canterbury Football Club, who finished 7th last year and will look to improve their consistency this season and push for finals. I’m tipping Richmond Central to win in a close game at the Snake Pit, Kevin Bartlett Reserve. La Trobe University were unlucky not to make the Grand Final last year after recording just the three losses in the regular season. However, they were simply outclassed by the eventual premiers in Glen Eira who beat them in the 20

Prelim by 74 points. With the Glen Eira and Hawthorn promoted out of Division 3, 2017 might be La Trobe’s time to shine, despite a lot of movement on their team list. La Trobe come up against South Melbourne Districts in round one who would be disappointed with last year after their heartbreaking elimination from finals. It was a goal from the boundary with 30 seconds left on the clock that saw them lose to La Trobe University in the Semi Final and end their season on a sour note. Should they be able to bounce back from the heart ache, South Melbourne should, once again, push for finals in 2017. Their round one match-up is a perfect opportunity for redemption against La Trobe, and I believe they will achieve it. I’m tipping South Melbourne to win by seven points. Power House AFC will look to keep improving after scraping into the finals in 2017 and managing to claim a finals victory before taking a convincing loss from Hawthorn in the prelim. Boosted by the return of club favourite, Sam Confait, and the promotion of Hawthorn and Glen Eira, 2017 could be Powerhouse’s year and are my darkhorse tip for the flag. They’ll face newcomers and Division 4 premiers, Westbourne Grammarians, in round one who went through undefeated in 2016. This matchup could a be preview of the Division 3 2017 finals and is one not to be missed. If all goes Westbourne’s way, they are a chance to go backto-back in 2016-17. In saying that, I’m tipping the home team, Powerhouse, to deliver a five point win and give Westbourne their first loss in TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Richmond Central v Canterbury Sth Melbourne Dist v La Trobe Power House v Westbourne Gr Point Cook v UHS-VU AFC Albert Park AFC v Swinburne Uni

over 12 months. Point Cook are another new face in Division 3 after making the grand final in Division 4 last year. They would dissapointed with their loss to Westbourne in the Grand Final given they were leading at every main break. Alas, season 2017 is a new year and if point cook can channel their anger and disappointment in a positive way, there’s no saying how far they can go. They’ll come up against fourth placed UHS-VU AFC who, despite losing 11 players to other clubs during the off-season, have had a massive influx of new players and have managed to hold on to the core of 2016’s best 18. Should the new player mesh with the current core group at UHSVU AFC, they should push for a top two finish. I’m tipping point cook to win by four goals in a tightly contested match. The final Match-up for the week is Albert Park AFC versus Swinburne University AFC, two teams who finished 2016 just a few games clear of relegation, ranked 8th and 9th, respectively. This battle could be a fight to avoid relegation in 2017, and every point counts, even this early in the season. To hopefully turn their luck around in 2017, Albert Park have had a big offseason of recruiting and will have 18 new faces down at the club for the season ahead. While Swinburne have taken the same approach and signed on more than 25 new players for the season ahead. My tip for round one is Albert Park by 14 points.

in 2017 Powerhouse, although, it could be any number of clubs to snatch it from their grasp. It should be a ripper year ahead. Good luck to all teams for season 2017.

To finish the 2016 season, we say goodbye to our two Grand Finalists from last year, Westbourne and Point Cook. Following a great season decider between the two top clubs, they will both do their best to make an impression on Division 3 in 2017. After a great start from Point Cook, Westbourne came out on top to bring home the flag. The Grammarians dug deep to win the last three quarters and the Bulldogs just didn’t have the legs to keep up. The undefeated Westbourne boys keeping their perfect record with a 17 point premiership victory. Grammarians gun Chris Hudson took home the A.K White Medal after an exceptional best on ground performance. Also, Chadstone will be departing after a disappointing season that saw them finish without a win. The Synners accepted the offer from the VAFA to play in Club XVIII competition, hopefully this move will bring some more wins and we’ll see them moving back up in the future. This year sees us greet four new teams with Aquinas, Elsternwick and Parkside coming down from Division 3, after finishing 10th, 11th and 12th , respectively; and St Francis Xavier OC have moved up from Club XVIII. We’re looking forward to seeing some hungry football from these teams eager to prove themselves.

GAME 1: NORTH BRUNSWICK AFC VS ST FRANCIS XAVIER OC North Brunswick AFC Last season wasn’t the worst-case scenario for the Bulls but they will be hoping for a much more consistent season in 2017 and a higher finish than their 6th place finish. They certainly have the ability for a better season as we saw some real potential throughout the year. Even coming within 3 goals of eventual Premiers. Hopefully the inconsistency that saw them go down to Box Hill North will disappear following a good preseason under new coach, Marcus Butera. Season prediction: 4th

St Francis Xavier OC The big shock to start the 2017 season is the surprise return of St Francis Xavier to Division 4. After failing to fill enough spots, the “X-Men” were moved down to Club XVIII (2) at the start of 2015. Despite the disappointment, they went on to win the premiership by a massive 71 points. After being promoted to Club XVIII (1) last season, they managed to make the Grand Final once again but were unable to win back-to-back flags, falling to Hawthorn by 62 points. With a new look committee, president and senior coach from 2015, the X-Men look to make a strong return to the VAFA’s senior section this season. Season prediction: 8th

GAME 2: AQUINAS VS MT LILYDALE OC Aquinas Aquinas had a very disappointing season in 2016 and won’t have been happy at all, only winning 3 games after making it to a preliminary final in 2015. They will be looking for a return to that 2015 form to make a statement in their new division this year and a host of new recruits under new coach Ash Naulty could do the trick. Michael Connolly will be one to watch as he tries to make an impact for the Bloods again in 2017. Season prediction: 6th Mt Lilydale OC Going from Club XVIII to a preliminary final in just a couple of years will give the Rams some great hope for more improvement in the near future. Proving themselves with some wins over the top clubs last year, they’ll be looking to improve even further in 2017. With Westbourne and Point Cook both departing, don’t be surprised to see Mt Lilydale throwing their hat in the ring come the pointy end of the season. Season Prediction: 2nd

GAME 3: ELSTERNWICK VS MANNINGHAM COBRAS AFC Elsternwick Another hard year for Elsternwick, after a strong performance in round 8 last season they dropped 10 consecutive games to find themselves destined for Division 4. The Wickers will be eager for some early wins to set up a successful season and make a case for a return to Division 3. Keep an eye on Justin Hunter in the forward 50, the Wickers THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

forward finished with an impressive 51 goals last year. Season prediction: 5th Manningham Cobras AFC Two seasons in a row now the Cobras have beaten all the teams below them and falling short against every higher placed club. Manningham will definitely be looking to shake off that “middle of the table” trend and push for a finals berth this season if they do manage to knock off those top clubs they will be going for a deep run. Season prediction: 3rd

GAME 4: ELEY PARK SHARKS VS PARKSIDE FOOTBALL CLUB Eley Park Sharks The Sharks by all accounts will go into this season as the team to beat. A horror run with injuries in 2016 hurt, but when they clicked they looked incredible. With Brent Christie, the O.J. Meehan medal winner alongside David Viola who booted 47 goals to finish 4th in the goal kicking standings, Eley Park will be planning to finish atop the ladder and make a serious play for the flag come the end of the year. Season prediction: 1st Parkside FC A horror year for Parkside in 2016 that saw them letting through 126 points per game, the Red Devils only managing to come away with the one win for the season. It wasn’t all bad news with Shane McLaren finishing 3rd in the P. Hutchinson medal after claiming the OJ Meehan in Division 4 a year earlier. He will be hoping to have another good year alongside Darren Gresham, Thomas McKinlay and the rest of the Devils as they try to muster a much better season in Division 4. Season Prediction: 7th

BYE: MASALA FOOTBALL CLUB Masala FC Masala improved again last year, going from one win in 2015 to three last season, as well as an admirable showing against one of the top teams in Point Cook. They will be aiming for that trend to continue this season and surprise a few teams in 2017 with some more wins. Sam Freeman will be looking to build on a good season last year after finishing with 39 majors. Season prediction 9th THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

WILSON WOMEN’S KICKED OFF WITH LIGHTNING PREMIERSHIP If the VAFA Women’s Lightning Premiership gave us any indication of the standard of football we can expect from our newly-formed women’s competition, we are in for a treat in 2017. While the four established Wilson Women’s Premier teams, SKOB Saints, Brunswick Renegades, Fitzroy-ACU and AJAX, embarked on their own practice matches, 24 development sides took to Sportscover Arena in a showcase event across both Saturday and Sunday. DAY 1: Old Geelong kick-started their 2017 VAFA women’s campaign in sensational style as they took out the first-ever Lightning Premiership on Saturday. After flying through the round-robin stages with three consecutive wins and a percentage of 2125, the Ogs piled on 10 scoring shots in the grand final to run out 25-point victors against Oakleigh Krushers.

a special win, 25-18. The grand finalists were the only two sides to go through the round-robin stage undefeated, with Beaumaris, Yarra Old Grammarians, Mazenod, Ormond and UHS-W finishing with two wins each from their three outings. St Mary’s Salesian (2), SKOB Saints (2), Hawthorn, Therry Penola and Old Mentonians were the remaining sides who participated in another fantastic day of VAFA Women’s football.

The Krushers were phenomenal all day as they and Caulfield Grammarians won all three round robin matches, while Old Haileybury, St Bedes/ Mentone Tigers and Ivanhoe each won two.

PREVIEW: With three grading rounds featuring six groups still to come, there is little to base the ever-important predictions off. However, what we can expect is to see things on the football field we’ve not seen before; all of which will no doubt bring a sense of pride to any supporter’s face.

Hampton Rovers, Collegians, Old Camberwell, South Melbourne Districts, Swinburne University and De La Salle rounded out the first day of the Lightning Premiership, with all teams showcasing a high level of talent and enthusiasm.

From the Oggettes celebrating their Lightning Premiership victory by popping bottles of Veuve Clicquot on Sportscover Arena, to Oakleigh cheering for the opposition during the postmatch celebrations.

DAY 2: Marcellin Sheagles completed their offseason with a thrilling seven-point Lightning Premiership Grand Final victory against a gallant St Mary’s Salesian.

Old Trinity actually brought a cake and belted out happy birthday to one of their players prematch, while Hampton Rovers sang with more enthusiasm than previously seen after a win despite not one player knowing the words to the team’s song.

Kicking with the Elsternwick breeze in the first half, the Sheagles shot out to a four-goal lead before the Saints rallied and piled on three unanswered in the second. Despite having the ascendancy, the Saints were unable to overcome the strong defence of the Sheagles late in the match as they locked the ball in the forward half and held on for THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

VAFA women are not just bringing an increased level of excitement and enthusiasm to the football field, but are single-handedly changing the culture of our clubs and Association in the process. 49

HOLMESGLEN UNDER 19

Marty Kelliher

HOLMESGLEN UNDER 19 FOOTBALL SEASON 2017 The importance of under 19 football to the ongoing strength and progression of a football club cannot be underestimated. It is telling to note that the top 3 clubs from last year in Premier Under 19 are clubs that are also fighting it out in William Buck. This year sees a number of changes to clubs shifting between divisions, Caulfield Grammarians and Parkdale make the move to premier, the 2 University based sides look to regroup back in section 2 and the continued growth of Fitzroy as they field a second under 19 team in premier reserve. We also welcome to the competition Glen Eira/McKinnon Old Boys. Interesting to note that there have also been a number of coaching changes with SKOB losing last year’s under 19 coaches in premier and premier reserve. Old Xavs lose Peter Callinan to the senior gig at Kew and it may take time for the new coaches to integrate their ideas and communication styles into their teams.

PREMIER: Let’s start with a none too earth shattering prediction: Based on 2016 results and the overall high quality of their play, last year’s top teams in premier, SKOB, Beaumaris and Old Xaverians, will continue to set the pace and will again be fighting it out for honours come the business end of the year. Based on last year I’m not entirely convinced about Old Scotch who, despite finishing 4th, were always a bit behind those aforementioned 3. I will need to see them back up before I place them in the top echelons of premier grade under 19 football for season 2017. I expect to see improvement from perennial rivals, St. Bernard’s and De La Salle, who are both looking to push themselves back into finals contention. None too sure about the prospects of Caulfield (under the guidance of exDe La player Nathan Beaumont) or Parkdale but it is pleasing to see both sides be rewarded for previous success and hopefully it spurs them on to bigger and better things. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Premier De La v SKOB Old scotch v Beaumaris Old Xavs v Caulfield Gr St. Bernard's v Parkdale Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 2 Uni Blues v Collegians CYMS v Od Carey Fitzroy v Old Melburnians St. Bedes Mentone v Uni Blacks Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 3 Hampton Rovers v Old Ivanhoe Old Brighton v Old Haileybury Ormond v OGGS Marcellin v Old Trinity

SECTION 2: A number of changes here with Whitefriars and old trinity needing to regroup, we welcome Williamstown CYMS and Collegians to section 2. Old Carey have stabilised by building some positive relationships with the school, and this seems to have reaped some rewards with them now having a steady supply of boys coming through to play for their under 19’s and also for their seniors. Based on last year, I think Old Melburnians will be bitterly disappointed with their finals campaign, where they stalled against a fast finishing and admittedly Jekyll and Hyde Caulfield grammarians to miss out on the chance for a premiership and promotion. As such, I have them slight favourites in this section, but St Bedes Mentone are not far behind given the strong junior base they can draw upon. Additionally, Old Carey and Williamstown could also make an impact after the transition to section 2. As is usual with the university teams, it may take a few weeks for them to get a handle on where they’re at. With Collegians, they’re the unknown because they struggled to get a team for a practice match, but again like a lot of the bigger private schools they have a multitude of players to call upon.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

SECTION 3: This section will house some terrific derby matches as close neighbours and rivals will have a chance to earn some bragging rights throughout the season. We have Old Brighton and Hampton Rovers, Hampton Rovers and Old Haileybury, Old Brighton and Old Haileybury, Ormond and Hampton Rovers and, peaking over each other’s fences, Old Trinity and Marcellin. This could be the section to watch. In terms of prospects, Old Trinity have a terrific group of seniors at the minute, but they may need to invest a bit of time into the unders because 2 years ago they were in Premier under 19. Old Haileybury, premiers in section 4, get to see where they stand and it’s good to see them invest some time into the future of their club. Old Brighton have the windswept beach oval to confound people and it will be interesting to see how the original

boom or bust club fares this season. They have form in Premier Grade, and now they are in section 3. The OGGS return to section 3 after a sojourn in premier reserve. Last year, they had some very good players, so they could well be the smoky in Div 3. Marcellin are the unknown in section 3, I can’t seem to get a handle on them, so I’ll reserve judgement. Rovers with 2 teams may have the depth and they too should be looking to climb to higher grades. Ormond are a club with a junior supply line and so they too have access to ready made players, I expect them to be very competitive in this section. Old Ivanhoe, buried deep in chelmsworth park, have a handy home ground advantage and they too could add to the mix of what could be the most interesting grade.

SECTION 4: With Parkside coming up as premiers, Mazenod up from section 5 and Friars joining from section 2 this is the road trip section. From Peninsula in the south, to Whitefriars in the east to Therry and PEG’s in the North West, this will be decided by the team who can travel well. This section is also defined by the home ground advantage with some very peculiar grounds, there is the slope at Preston’s Ruthven oval, the windswept tundra of PEGS, the wide expanses of Monash Uni, the

long and deceptively wide Narambi Reserve in Mornington, the tight confines of Whitefriars and the narrow wings of Parkside along with the potentially very heavy surface of Therry. All sides will need to adapt as the season unfolds and, as such, this section may prove to be a tipsters nightmare. I will wait see what happens round 1 before I make too many predications, but I do think there will be some quite frankly bizarre results here throughout the season.

SECTION 5: With a number of seconds teams, De La fielding a 3rd team and McKinnon old boys joining us for the 1st time, this has the hallmarks of being the section of unpredictability. De La will field essentially an under 18 group filled with year 11 and 12 boys. They may be young, but they will be competitive and may surprise as they did last year. I have some high hopes for McKinnon as they come together for the 1st time and I think they will enjoy having that opportunity to play as a group. I’m quite curious about Old Camberwell, because they have been an under 19 stalwart for a number of years. I’m surprised to see them in

section 5, and would have thought they may be the team to chase this year. Oakleigh, like a number of district clubs have some trouble holding onto their junior players, so they may be a bit unknown. Based on last year MHSOB seem to have stabilised a little and I hope they can continue to develop, build and improve in 2017. St. John’s and Aquinas along with Old Paradians will be looking to build upon last year and improve, but retention and recruitment through the schools will be vital. Williamstown CYMS with their decisive home ground will also be hard to toss at home, but travel may be an issue.

RETRO

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2012 Bruno Conti, President of the VAFA, announced the commencement of the 111th season of the VAFA, reminding us that few sporting organisations could boast survival over such a long period. In addition to serving the VAFA off the field, Bruno had been an outstanding player for North Old Boys in A Section and had been one of the greats to have played consistently for Victoria in representative football. In Premier A Section, St Bedes Mentone Tigers unfurled their 2011 premiership flag but started slowly against Old Carey, trailing at each of the three breaks. St Bedes coach, Mick Dwyer demanded more effort at three quarter time and his charges responded kicking 4.7 to 2.2 to get over the line by three points. Best – Rowlands, Richards, Porter, Sceney, Jeans, Geschke (StBMT) and Evans, Smithwick (4), McQueen-Miscamble, Howat, Parton, Rimington (OCarey). In Premier B, AJAX unfurled their two premiership flags and kicked 5 straight in the first quarter against Old Brighton. AJAX were still in front at three quarter time but Brighton threw out the challenge with the lead changing a number of times in the final quarter. AJAX lifted with Nick Marks leading the way and they kicked a sealer in the final minute to win 17.7 to 14.17. Best – Marks, Fayman (5), Steinberg, Ludski, Lew (5), Jankie (AJAX) and Austin, Cummin, Homann, Portelli (5), Rawlinson, North (OBton). The first Club Warehouse Rising Star for the season was De La Salle’s Jacob Williams. Jacob played all his junior football at Ashburton and he had followed his older brothers, Sam and Luke, to De La Salle. 10 YEARS AGO – 2007 In A Section, Old Brighton opened the season with a solid win over Old Ivanhoe, holding sway from quarter time and taking advantage of ‘The Hoes’ early inaccuracy. Best – A Edge, J Edge, Mann (4), Dawes, Hendra, Perrett (OB) and Curatolo, Low, Fragiacomo, Stevens, Baldwin, Geiling (OI). Jamie Kvins and Simon Olive were the field umpires in charge. A Section scribe, Jonathan Horn was very impressed with Old Brighton talking up the Tonners’ recruiting efforts. Two ‘centurians’ were acknowledged in A Section – Richard Burrows (Old Trinity) and Rex Roberts (Old Ivanhoe) both playing their 100th games. Old Melburnians thrashed St Kevins Old Boys in B Section 24.11 to 12.11. The OM’s had the game under control by half time. OM’s accuracy in front of goal was impressive as was their style of play all around 54

the ground. Best – M Kennon (4), Miller (4), P Kennon, Wilson, Morrison, Menzies (OM) and Dollman, McCann, Mulgrew, Liston, Lynch, Gibbs (StK). Sam Hecker, with 7 goals in St Bedes Mentone’s win over Caulfield Grammarians,headed up the McKinnon Sports Medicine sharpshooters after round one. Melbourne High School Old Boys welcomed back Dean Comer onto the committee. Dean had been a terrific player for MHSOB over many seasons and after a stint in Sydney was looking forward to contributing to the Unicorns off the field.

20 YEARS AGO – 1997 Chief Executive Officer, Phil Stevens, announced there had been 1892 new registrations up to round 1 being made up of 1054 (senior) and 838 (U19’s) making the permit committee extremely busy of recent weeks. There were 6886 players automatically re-registered from the 1996 season and these numbers confirmed the status of the VAFA as the largest football competition in the country! Jason Frenkel was the A Section scribe and spoke of Old Xavs unfurling the premiership flag prior to decimating St Bernards, 26.10 to 7.2. The Xavs had led St Bernards 14.4 to 1.1 at half time with the ‘Bernies’ showing some improvement in the second half of the match. Best – Richardson (8), Landrigan, Wood, Hawkins, Blood, Ford (OX) and Dobson, Wilkinson, Chatfield, J Gollant, Thomas, Davis (St B). The Xavs’ reserves were also in fine form winning 14.17 to 6.5 over St Bernards. A Section field umpires for round 1 were – Anthony Damen, Mark Gibson, Wayne Hinton, Richard Eastwood, Graeme Thwaites, Justin Toohey, Darren Dalgleish, Steve McCarthy, Marty Jackson and Heath Little. (It’s great to see a number of these gentlemen still serving in amateur football in some capacity – FTLOTG). Old Brighton surged to the top of the B Section ladder with a huge win over Banyule 27.16 to 10.12. Best – Jackson (5), Kryzwniak, Reid, Fitzgerald, Lennox, Farrell (OB) and Anderson, Gray, Williams, Whelan, Dintonosanete, Williams (Banyule). 30 YEARS AGO – 1987 There were two players lining up for their 150th games in the first round of the season – Peter Guatta (West Brunswick) was continuing his distinguished career on-field and off-field he held the important role on honorary club treasurer. Peter was also, at the time, the holder of the club record of 12 goals in a game. Peter started in the U19’s back in 1973. Peter’s THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

wife, Pat, was also an integral member of the club. Neil ‘Junior’ Bowdern finally reached the 150 games mark despite many leg injuries over the journey. Neil was also a member of his club’s executive and he had served his club magnificently over 12 years. In A Section, De La Salle started the season with a win in a high scoring match against Bulleen Templestowe. The game was very close at half time, the margin only 5 points in favour of De La but the D’s forged ahead in the third quarter, finally winning 22.16 to 17.12. Best – Connolly, C Lowe (8), C Wright, M Lowe, Anderson, Hellard (DLS) and Bell, Smythe, Mayne, Pace (3), Harisiou, Kazuro (BT). Parkside ‘kicked the sweep’ in B Section defeating St Bernards 23.8 to 14.19 and the ‘Bernies’ would rue their inaccuracy. Best – Freeman (9), Sansonetti, Page, King, Williams, A Shaw (Parkside) and Nathan, Comito, J Klaaysen (3), P Klaaysen (3), Mahady, F Monoghan (St Bernards). In this round Ormond’s Phil Kingston lined up for his 100th game. Phil had joined Ormond from Old Haileybury where he had won the VAFA’s 1980 Junior Section best and fairest. ‘Kingo’ had been a very consistent performer since arriving at Ormond and had been rewarded with State selection in 1986. Phil had been elected vice-captain for Ormond in 1987 and had also joined the club committee following in the footsteps of his father, Jack Kingston, Ormond President from 1966 to 1969. At the VAFA’s ‘season launch’ held at the Southern Cross Hotel, Certificates of Merit were awarded to the following – Harry Thomas (Ivanhoe), Andy Harris (Old Ivanhoe), Keith Stookie (Nat Bank & Old Paradians), Peter Lemon (Old Geelong), Leon Flegeltaub (MHSOB), Shane Maguire (North Old Boys), Laurie Taylor (Balaclava), George McTaggart (MHSOB) and Graham Holmes (Elsternwick).

40 YEARS AGO – 1977 ‘A’ Section senior coaches were Frank Goode (Caulfield Grammarians), Lance Riky (Coburg), Bernie Sheehy (De La Salle), Ray Walsh (Marcellin OC), George Moloney (North Old Boys), Ian Cameron (Ormond), Gus Mitchell (St Bernards), Bob Beynon (Uni Blacks) and Alan Salter (Uni Blues). 100 games to Old Brighton Captain, Ian Paroissien, Barry Curley (North Old Boys), Don Bradshaw (Old Geelong) and Ray Stewart (Ivanhoe). In B Section, Old Haileybury, runners-up in C Section in 1976, made a great start with a convincing win over Old Scotch by 24 points. Best – Campbell, Code, Hattam (Old Haileybury) and Kefford, Duffy, Anderson (Old Scotch). Monash Juniors had an outstanding victory against THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

Ormond, 31.17 to 9.5. Hodge, Grutzner and Rodger (10 goals) were best for Monash.

50 YEARS AGO – 1967 Melbourne High School Old Boys, with a three goal burst in the second quarter, established a strong lead over Old Paradians and held the OP’s off after a determined last quarter to win by 20 points. Best – Wood, Pearson, Gilbert (MHSOB) and Foster, Pickett, Tudor (Old Paradians). A Section coaches were Frank Snell (Kew), Geoff Hibbins (Collegians), Brian Kann (MHSOB), Lloyd Williams (Ivanhoe), Don Howell (Old Scotch), John Wilson (Caulfield Grammarians), Frank Dunin (Uni Blacks), John Booth (Old Paradians), Alan Salter (Coburg) and Peter Rhoden (Old Xaverians). Graeme (Lumpy) Moran and Murray Poden (Old Melburnians) played their 100th games. Geelong Amateurs celebrated their return to B Section with a ‘crushing’ win over De La Salle who then entertained the Geelong contingent at a very successful barbecue at which Vin Pilkington performed as expected, rendering “Stand Up And Fight” just as capably as on any other occasion over the past decade! 60 YEARS AGO – 1957 During the summer preceding the commencement of the 1957 season, amateur players and amateur football generally received outstanding recognition during Melbourne’s Olympic Games. On Friday 7th December, visiting sporting enthusiasts from all over the world had the pleasure of observing a demonstration Australian Rules football match. The game was played at the main stadium and was between a team selected from the VAFA and a team of amateur players, currently playing in either the VFL or VFA. The VAFA team was victorious (12.9 to 8.7) in modified conditions such as slightly smaller playing space (by 5 yards in both length and width) and with less than the normal time between quarters. The spectacle met the requirements of the International Olympic Federation who always asked the host nation to include in the games, a demonstration of a national sport. The Honorary Secretary of the VAFA at that time, Jack Fullerton, as organiser of the demonstration match, also sat with HRH, the Duke of Edinburgh, to explain the finer points of the game. One of the participants that day, boundary umpire, Jack Wilson, after a successful career in amateur football as a player and coach, went on to head up the team of gatekeepers at Elsternwick Park for many years until as recent as 2016 (FTLOTG). 55

UMPIRES CORNER

Owen Hinson

WE’RE HERE! After a strong pre-season led by our new fitness supervisor Gavin de Kretser, it is almost a relief to pull on the boots and head out for Round 1. There have been six notable absences from our pre-season training, and we’re delighted to announce that they have all been accepted onto their respective VFL development panels. We congratulate Sam Levin, George Wood, Sam Beer, Adrian Pretorius, Michael Driver and Antonio Valente on their achievements, and wish them well for their first season in the VFL Development Squads. But while we lose some umpires to the VFL and others to life commitments, we are lucky to welcome dozens of new umpires every year to our ranks. We have umpires joining us from junior associations, returning from the VFL, and some taking up the whistle for the first time. This is particularly important in a year where we see an amazing 1200 new players take to the field in the VAFA Women’s competition. To the players in the VAFA Women’s – The VAFAUA has welcomed many ex-footballers into our ranks, including Vice President Andy Hartnett. Some have gone on to reach AFL level. While its very early days in many of your playing careers, for those a little further down the track please do consider umpiring as a way to stay involved in football when you’ve had one too many injuries and are ready to hang up the boots. The VAFAUA is much like a footy club, and we are a diverse and inclusive group who welcome umpires of any background and experience level.

this acceptance of umpires as an integral part of VAFA football that makes us such a strong umpiring group, and the safe and welcoming environment provided by the club fuels the recruitment of young umpires. This acceptance also comes with expectation – an expectation of umpires to demonstrate respect for the VAFA, for the clubs and players we are officiating, and for our own fellow umpires. It is only by showing respect we will receive respect for our role in return. Generations of umpires in the VAFA have exhibited this quality and lived the amateur ethos, and we must strive to continue this into the future. To our umpires, particularly those joining us for the first time – I encourage you to actively participate in VAFA and VAFAUA life. Come along to the VAFAUA social events. Attend the club after-matches. Get to know some of the players you officiate, as well as the club coaches/officials. If you are invited to join in the post-match scull competition... well… remember that water/soft drinks are always an option – and do us proud! Finally, we have established a new website for season 2017, and are hoping to welcome Social members to our association for the first time.

CLUB XVIII

Nick Armistead

@NickArmistead

8 & 8 IN CLUB XVIII Before we get into reviewing and previewing Club XVIII football, there is one gentlemen who has been covering this important part of our Association since 1976 (barring a couple of years in between). Norm Nugent has been a stalwart of the competition and Club XVIII for many years and has decided to hang up the quill and allow a passing of the torch. We thank Norm for the utmost dedication he has shown to the Amateur Footballer and wish him all the best as he indulges in VAFA football free of his weekly column.

REVIEW SECTION 1 Late showers could do little to dampen Hawthorn Spartans’ spirit as they claimed backto-back Club XVIII (1) flags and their third in four years when they defeated St Francis Xavier by 62 points at Sportscover Arena. Led by Landrigan/King Medallist, Jason Yap, the Spartans gained the ascendancy early with seven of the first nine goals and refused to allow the X-Men a look in. Leading by 41 at the last break, the Spartans continued to apply pressure with four goals to one in the final term. Luke Edwards was unstoppable forward of centre as he sent home four majors, while Nick Gieschen and Sam Armstrong joined Yap with their own dominant performances. Brent Sheers and Christopher Hughes fought valiantly for the X-Men, while their four majors were spread amongst four individual goal kickers. 66

They were fantastic in the back end of the season, finishing fourth at the conclusion of the home and away fixture and fighting through the semi and preliminary finals to today’s main event.

SECTION 2 Earlier in the day, Old Geelong started what could be a succession of OGs premierships in 2016 when they defeated West Brunswick for the Club XVIII (2) premiership and second-ever flag at that level. Despite trailing at every break and heading into the fourth term 13 points down, OGs galvanised and used the slight Elsternwick breeze to storm home with four unanswered goals. Matthew Graver was awarded the best on ground medallion for his starring performance for OGs, while section leading goal kicker, Josh Archer, bagged four majors and captain-coach Lewis Chiodo chipped in with two. The Westies fought valiantly and a lead for the majority of the match is testament to their talent and determination. Angus Campbell and Daniel Monacella were outstanding around the ground, while Kyle Oppelaar kicked four goals and took his season tally to 31 from just seven games.

PREVIEW SECTION 1 Looking ahead, there’s been just the one change of club over the pre-season with Chadstone filling the spot left by 2016 grand finalist, St Francis Xavier, as they leave for Division 4. Chadstone should be a strong contender as they THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

will also be fielding a Club XVIII (2) team and will keep the likes of perennial finals favourites Hawthorn Spartans and Old Xaverians Crocs on their toes.

SECTION 2 Myriad of changes to the set-up of Section 2 have taken place, with the most notable an increase from six sides to eight. Reigning premiers, Old Geelong, have left for Premier C Thirds on the back of their senior side gaining promotion, while Westbourne Grammarians, Chadstone (2) and Box Hill North

enter our competition. The Warriors are flowing with numbers and their Club XVIII (2) side will be their second Thirds team, while Box Hill North have been relegated from Division 4 and will look to rebuild with Certificate of Merit awardee and new President, Afrim Odza, at the helm. It is hard to go against the Demons who will have a higher number of class personnel, while last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runners-up, West Brunswick, should perform strongly yet again.
