VFL DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE DEMISE – WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR VAFA CLUBS? Back in late July, AFL Victoria advised VFL Clubs the existing VFL Development League would cease to exist come seasons’ end. The VFL Development League has been under scrutiny for a number of years on various fronts. Pressures on VFL clubs both financially and from an administration perspective were concerns all the way along. Add to the fact only (8) of the (14) VFL teams fielded a Development Team, which produced uneven fixtures and scheduling difficulties, and the cons began to clearly outweigh the pros. With combined costs of running the VFL Development League nearing $1M, the competition itself was not viable nor was it the best possible use of investment into the future, given many VFL Clubs were experiencing financial difficulties. A major argument in maintaining the VFL Development League from VFL Clubs was around development opportunities for players, without the VFL Development League it was argued, that player development would stall. Of particular interest to the VAFA is that players will still be able to develop playing at community level, the various VAFA representative programs being cases in point, that aid in player development. Also adding to the above are the real positives of enhanced relationships between VAFA & VFL Clubs and an increase in the depth of talent at VAFA level. Evidence suggests a growing trend in the player pathway from TAC to the VFL in recent years has involved players leaving the TAC Cup, spending time in the VAFA or community football for a few years and then moving into the VFL with the aim of being drafted when both physically and emotionally ready. With no VFL Development League in 2018, the club structure for those (8) VFL clubs affected will move to one similar to that currently used by clubs such as Collingwood, Essendon, Footscray, North Ballarat and Richmond, where players not selected in the VFL will play with their VAFA team.
In addition to the influx of returning players to VAFA Clubs in 2018, either permanently or on interchange to VFL Clubs, there is no doubt the depth of talent in the VAFA will increase in 2018 and beyond. While it is expected there will be a steady flow of former VFL Development League players back into the VAFA, clubs are reminded of AFL Victoria’s Player Points System (PPS) which categorises players according to their playing history and how this may affect their recruiting and team selection in 2018. The 2017 state-wide PPS cap was 48 points per senior team. This cap has not been set for 2018 and we have been advised consideration is being given to the effect the demise of the VFL Development League would have on the point values for former VFL Development players. While on the subject of (PPS) caps, the VAFA are currently reviewing the (PPS) caps provided for each VAFA open-age section, in line with 2016 and 2017 tracked data, with a view to making a recommendation to AFL Victoria regarding setting the individual marks for each of our sections for the 2018 season. There will be plenty of data collection and planning involved before we land on the (PPS) cap for all of our senior open sections in 2018; however, at Club level also bear this in mind as some of you may now move into initial planning and recruiting mode for 2018. Further advice will follow to our clubs in due course in relation to the 2018 (PPS) cap. Division finals kick off this weekend so we congratulate those who have made the post-season in their respective sections and look forward to hardfought and entertaining finals series. On another note all the very best to all our teams who finish up this weekend, well done and we hope the season ends on a positive note. Also to the umpires doing the same, thank you and well done. Congratulations to Old Xaverians (Crocs) and Box Hill North winning their respective Club XVIII Finals last Sunday also. — See you @ the footy.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER
Nick Armistead
BLACKS HOLD THE KEY TO CHANGE There was an air of uncertainty surrounding the final make-up of both the four and relegation heading into last week, but the dream Round 18 fixture for unbiased William Buck Premier supporters will not take place this weekend after De La Salle ensured a finals berth & Beaumaris were unable to hold on against the Blues, resigning them to relegation. The only position with potential change is the second side in relegation territory, with Uni Blacks potentially avoiding a trip down to Premier B should they cause the upset of all upsets and defeat St Kevin’s at TH King Oval on Saturday. After their performance against Old Xaverians showcasing their late-season improvement, surely it could happen. Maybe. In any case, the game with the most interest this weekend will certainly be SKOB & Uni Blacks as there will be no change to the bottom two should the Blacks lose. Cam Roberts, Bede Mahon and their chargers will do their utmost to claim victory while hoping either Beaumaris can defeat St Bedes/ Mentone Tigers or OM’s bounce back against Trinity. The Blacks were phenomenal throughout their 71-point win over Old Xaverians at Uni Oval, ending a six-game losing streak. Trailing by 12 points at the first break, the Blacks exploded with eight goals to one in the second term and followed it up with another 12 to six in the second half. After kicking 10 goals through his first 16 games this season, Joel Ernest was a large part of the Blacks’ unforeseen explosion as he registered six majors alongside four from swingman Lachlan Huntington. Bede Mahon should poll Woodrow votes after an outstanding display in the midfield and Harry Lahy was named BOG with two goals. Given Trinity’s surprise victory over Collegians, it was a must-win for the Blacks and keeps their hopes of avoiding relegation alive. If they can continue their form from Round 17 and SKOB rest stars, the task ahead is not impossible. Back-to-back is officially off the table for Xavs as they now fall two and a half games behind De La. For a large majority of the year, there was little given to the thought of Xavs missing finals after they won six of their first eight matches. However, injuries, overseas trips, a forced tie against Collegians & five losses by an average of just three goals curtailed their season. They can still play a role in shaping 2
@NickArmistead the top four as they face a Lions outfit keen on solidifying the double chance. St Bedes/Mentone Tigers will be looking to turn their recent form around when they clash with Beaumaris in the return Bayside Derby at Brindisi St Oval. The Tigers have remained on 18 premiership points for over a month now, having lost their past four matches by an average of 88 points. Injuries to key personnel the ilk of Dean Porter and Chris Richards hurt, while the Tigers’ confidence is at a season low, culminating in a 157-point loss to SKOB at TH King on the weekend whereby they fell to a 102-point deficit by the half. The Tigers remain half a game clear of the Blacks in eighth spot on the ladder but their form is at a lower ebb than the Sharks’. At the other end of the form spectrum is SKOB who emphatically bounced back from their Round 16 loss to Blues with 13 goal kickers and another standout display from Lachie Sullivan. Sullivan has elevated his game each week under Shannon Grant and is primed to take home the Men’s Rising Star Award on the back of phenomenal numbers – 11 TIB & 20 goals as a starting midfielder in the number one ranked side in the VAFA. They face the age-old decision of all first-placed sides when they face Blacks this weekend; how many players take the week’s rest heading into finals? Old Trinity went one step closer to retaining their position in William Buck Premier with an 18-point come-from-behind win against Collegians. Trailing by eight points at the last break, the T’s finished out the game in superb form with Alex Polidoros topscoring with four goals and 100-game star Harry Tinney check-siding a goal of the year contender in the fourth. While the T’s have won two in a row and come up against an OM’s unit unable to push for finals, the threat of relegation still lingers should both Blacks and Bedes record wins this weekend. All will be made easier should they continue their recent form and claim a third consecutive victory. The loss was just the Lions’ first in six outings – Round 14 draw against Blues included. They face the Xavs at Toorak Park this weekend and could still potentially lose the double chance should the Blues get over De La and they fall to Xavs. Given De La have little to gain this weekend and the Blues do, the Lions will be keen to finish the home and away season strongly and secure the double chance. De La were relentless in their pursuit of a finals berth as they defeated Old Melburnians by 48 points at Waverly Oval. A five-goal haul from Ed Clinch and a best-on-ground performance from Big V defender, Tom Humphrey, led the way for THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

De La as they piled on 29 scoring shots to 15 and kicked more goals than behinds for the first time in five matches. Now they’ve secured finals berth, De La will get a good look at Blues when they clash at Uni Oval this weekend. However, with William Buck Premier finals to be played at Trevor Barker Oval, De La will be eyeing off the elite deck at Sandringham and fancy their chances of a first semi-final victory. OM’s will be disappointed with their output but they came face-to-face with an unrelenting De La unit and still sit fifth on the ladder. Barring the first 10 minutes of the third when they kicked three goals, OM’s were rarely in the game as De La’s big names – Tutt, Humphrey, S. Williams and J. Williams - all stood up. George Hurley-Wellington and Josh freezer stood tall but they now end their season against an in-form T’s. The Blues have a double chance up for grabs after they came within half a game of the Lions following their 20-point win over Beaumaris. The Sharks were outstanding against the form side of the competition and led by 10 points at three quarter

time before the Blues kicked into gear with six goals to one in the fourth term thanks to the successful return of Tim Gaeppen and his five majors. While De La have little to gain from this week’s fixture, the Blues will be keen to secure a double chance so expect an impressive Round 18 display from James Walker’s men. The loss for the Sharks means they will officially head down to Premier B in 2018 but, if the confidence from their past month of football is retained, they will return to the top section sooner rather than later. Joel Cusack shone with three goals alongside Stephen Milne who was named best with two. The Sharks will want to finish off the season on a high and a Bayside Derby is the perfect motivation to give it one last crack.

RELEGATION BATTLE ON A KNIFE’S EDGE A big win in Round 17 saw the Monash Blues claim fourth place this weekend, with Ajax slipping one win away from finals after losing a nail-biter to the Snow Dogs. The fight to avoid relegation heats up, with Parkdale and Fitzroy FC sitting in eighth and ninth place, respectively. With less than 2% separating the two teams going into round 18, both will be looking for unlikely wins to remain in Premier B for the 2018 season. With the 2017 home and away season about to end, there is still plenty to play for in Round 18, and plenty to watch for in the lead up to what will be a thrilling finals series. The opening game of the round saw ladder-leaders Old Brighton lock in the minor premiership, with a cruisy win over seventh placed Old Carey. The Grammarians hosted the Panthers and started strongly with a four-goal-to-one opening term. An inaccurate day was on the cards for the Grammarians, whilst Old Carey made the most of their opportunities in front of goal. At half time, Old Brighton had opened up a 27-point lead and looked like blowing the game open at any minute. The only thing stopping an onslaught of goals was their own inaccuracy, as the Grammarians piled on 2.8 in the third term, all whilst restricting Old Carey to just 1.1. The Grammarians led by 40 points at three quarter time, and to their credit, Old Carey managed to keep that margin when the final siren blew. 13.20 for the Grammarians will have coach Greg Hutchison scratching his head, but the 40-point win was still a dominant display by the finals bound minor premiers. Three goals to Harry Hill saw him back up a four-goal performance against Ajax last round, whilst Matthew Gadsen provided his first best on ground performance of the year. Sam Crocker slotted three for Old Carey, who face Monash Blues in their final round this week. Old Brighton will take on Mazenod away from home before they embark on their finals campaign. In a battle to avoid relegation, Fitzroy FC hosted a determined Parkdale Vultures, who before this round looked bound for Premier C in 2018, sitting one win behind Fitzroy in ninth place. The Vultures came to play, however, and a blistering second 4
half saw them run out 48-point winners, securing enough percentage in the process to leapfrog Fitzroy into eighth place, safe from relegation ... for now. An accurate day in front of goals saw the Vultures slot 15.7, with four apiece coming from Tom Redmond and rising star Brandan McCoy. Liam Platt was impressive for the Vultures and was awarded with the best on ground. Nino Lazzaro and Corbin Stevic provided the routes to goal for Fitzroy, slotting two each. A tough final round for both teams makes predicting just who is heading for relegation difficult, with Parkdale coming up against second-placed, Old Scotch, and Fitzroy facing fifth-placed Ajax, who will be looking for a big win if they are any hope of sneaking into the final four. One thing is for sure, there will be a lot of nervous faces at next week’s games, percentages will be calculated repeatedly as each team strives to remain in the Premier B competition. Old Scotch came out firing at home against Mazenod, with the Cardinals dominating the day to run out 89-point winners. Second-placed Old Scotch proved far too strong for the sixth-placed Nodders, with the margin growing larger at each change of the day. An even spread in front of goal saw 10 individual goalkickers for the Cardinals, with Jordan Clarke impressing with four of his own majors. Best on ground honours were taken out by Andrew Jelbart and Conor O’Beirne, the latter continuing his dynamic form for the 2017 season. The Nodders also shared the love in front of goal, with seven individuals kicking a single major each. Mazenod are in for a tough final round, coming up against Old Brighton next week, whilst Old Scotch will look to continue their dominant form when they travel to Parkdale to face the Vultures. In another Round 17 blowout, the Monash Blues solidified their finals hopes with a 56-point hiding of the Peninsula Pirates. The Blues jumped out of the blocks early, but poor accuracy in front of goal saw them 3.6 at quarter time to the Pirates one goal straight. Straighter kicking throughout the day would have helped increase the margin to a handy percentage buffer on fifth-placed Ajax, but the final score line of 16.16 to 8.8 meant the win was restricted to just 56 points. Four goals to Tom Vaughan in his first game for the Monash seniors for the season could present the selection panel with a welcome headache, whilst Andrew Young dominated throughout the game for the Blues.

William Harbinson looked dangerous for the Pirates, kicking two goals and being named best on for the losing side. A win next week to the Blues will lock in a finals berth, they come up against Old Carey at the Snake Pit. Even a loss could see them heading to September action, with a 6% buffer over Ajax, it will take a big upset for the Blues to miss out. Peninsula head into their final game in Premier B for at least a season, as the face off at home against third-placed St Bernard’s. In the only close game for the round, St Bernard’s came back from a 16-point three quarter time margin to defeat a determined Ajax to record their 12th win of the season, leaving Ajax stranded in fifth place - one win and 6% points behind the Monash Blues. The game was an arm wrestle for the first half, with St Bernard’s heading into the main change with a seven-point buffer. A dominant third term from the Jackers saw them hit the front and march into the final change with a 16-point lead. The Snow Dogs were not to be

denied though, booting 4.5 and locking down Ajax to restrict them to just two points in the final term to run out 11-point winners. A disappointing result for Mark Williams’ Jackers as they may have let their finals chances slip in a lacklustre fourth quarter. Five majors and a best on ground to Dominic Lermano helped the Snow Dogs across the line, whilst Josh Ludski and Dean Rotenberg were impressive for the Jackers. Ajax takes on Fitzroy FC next week, with a big win required (along with a big loss to Monash), if they are any chance of playing finals. St Bernards travel down the Peninsula to face the Pirates as they prepare for a finals stint in two weeks’ time.

PREMIER C
Mitch op’t Hoog
FIVE TEAMS FIGHTING FOR A FINALS BERTH While relegation has been confirmed for Hampton Rovers and Kew AFC, and the top three spots have been locked away for some time, remarkably, there are still five teams who have the potential to claim fourth spot in Premier C. From the CYs in fourth to Old Ivanhoe in eighth, all teams are tied up on 32 points. Such is the season in Premier C, last week Old Ivanhoe were heading into their Round 17 clash hoping to avoid relegation and one week later they hold a very slender chance of making finals. So, who’s it going to be that claims fourth spot? Given that the decision is likely to come down to percentage, Williamstown CYMS and Old Geelong have the greatest chances of securing fourth spot. The CYs will be more confident, however, given their healthy percentage of 111.16% is 5% greater than Old Geelong on 106.25%. From sixth-placed onwards, percentage begins to drop off with Old Mentonians ahead of Old Camberwell (7th) and Old Ivanhoe (8th) with a percentage of 91.68%. Williamstown CYMS’s chance of maintaining their spot in the four is strengthened by the fact they are coming up against eighth-placed Old Ivanhoe, who they should be able to account for despite the Hoes big win over Ogs last week. Old Geelong on the other hand face the biggest challenge of all finals contenders as they are set to clash with second-placed Old Haileybury and will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to defeat the Bloods and claim fourth spot - In saying that, I wouldn’t put it past them. As for Old Mentonians, they should be able to bounce back from their 80-point loss in Round 17 to defeat Hampton Rovers this week, however, they’ll need both Old Geelong and Williamstown CYMS to lose in order to snag a spot in the four. Old Camberwell face off against an in-form Marcellin outfit, which should prove to be challenging for the Wellers’ and I can’t see them overcoming the Eagles or results going their way to sneak into finals. 6
@mitch_toog Having said all this, my tip is Williamstown CYMS to win over Old Ivanhoe and maintain their spot in the finals; However, should the Hoers carry some of their good form into this week and knock off the CYs, fourth place could fall to Old Mentonians (currently sixth) as I can’t see Old Geelong defeating Old Haileybury. It should be an exciting week of footy in Premier C, but before we get ahead of ourselves, as I may have already done, let’s take a look back at Round 17 and the week that evened up the race. Old Haileybury bounced back from two straight losses to defeat Williamstown CYMS by 46 points. It was a crucially important game for the CYs, and had they won a finals berth would’ve been all but locked away. Williamstown CYMS came out hard and held a slim advantage at quarter time. However, the second quarter is where the game was won and lost and the Bloods exploded with an eight-goals-to-one term to put the game beyond reach of the CYs. Nathan Waite was dominant for the Bloods after a few quiet games and managed to kick seven majors. Corey Connelly too was lethal in front of goal, bagging five in a BOG display. The Gray brothers, Ben and Jack, continued their good form for the CYs and kicked three goals each. Old Geelong would’ve been licking their lips at the prospect of playing Old Ivanhoe who were coming off a five-game losing streak, but after a fast start Ogs were unable to inflict any damage on the Hoers in the second half; In fact, it was the other way around as the Hoers came from 14 points down at half time to kick 10 unanswered goals in the last two quarters and record a 52-point win. It was a huge win for Old Ivanhoe as they have now successfully avoided relegation in 2017. For Old Geelong, the result was equally important as their chance of claiming a finals spot now comes down to their match against Old Haileybury this week and other results out of their hands. For the CYs, Nicholas Reeves-Smyth and star veteran Adrian Del Monte combined for ten goals in two season-defining performances. For the Ogs, William Sloss was crucial in their missed opportunity. Old Camberwell recorded their eighth win for season to stay within the hunt for finals as THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

they defeated Kew by four goals. Leading by 10 points after a hard-fought first half, the Wellers nailed 11 goals to nine in a high-scoring second half to confirm the victory. Alex Taverner topscored with four majors while Zach Herbstreit kicked two and was named best afield for the Wellers. In his best game for the year, Michael Hannan could not be stopped up forward and kicked eight of the Bears’ 15 goals. After two wins on the trot, Hampton Rovers’ spirited run to avoid relegation came to an abrupt end at the hands of ruthless ladderleaders Caulfield Grammarians. The Fielders’ were clinical in their 55-point victory as they kicked 10 goals to three in the second half to put the game beyond doubt. The Rovers were admirable in defeat as they stuck with the Fields for the first half but could do little to stop them in the second. Continuing his solid form was Xavier Jordan who was judged best afield, while Dan Meddings and Will Barker kicked three goals each. The Rovers fought hard, led by Josh Pavlou and Richard Atkins, and can hold their
PREMIER C
Old Mentonians’ chance of making finals took a hit as they fell to a strong Marcellin outfit by 80 points. The Eagles put in a near-perfect performance against the Panthers as they extended their lead at every break. There was 12 goal scorers who peppered the Eagles scorecard as Andrew Kay and Robert Costanza combined for ten majors with five goals each. With one goal to his name, Matt Gasparini claimed BOG honours in a lethal display of football. For the Panthers, who will look to bounce back against Hampton Rovers this week, Ben Rossi was important while Luke Hull booted three goals.

The Bulls last senior flag was finals dinner celebration. One of the key areas in 1981, and have won only two flags since joining to celebrate was the milestones sections, with a the VAFA in 1971. Currently, they’re sitting in a number of umpires reching impressive milestones pretty good position to break that drought! They including mutiple hundreds. Michael Gilday was finished the home and away season in second one of those lucky umpires to be acknowledged place and are looking like one of two key favourites after officiating his 600th game. One slight in the race for the Div 4 flag. This weekend, they’ll issue, however, the slide they used to announce face top-of-the-table Aquinas in the first semi final Michael’s hugely impressive milestone featured an and they’ll be feeling quietly confident given they image of a number of umpires … just not Michael! toppled Aquinas by five points in Round 3 and only Ohh, that’s not ideal! Despite the lack of photo just lost to them by eight points in Round 14. A 36 evidence, we’re immensly grateful for your efforts, year drought might make Melbourne supporters Michael. Congratuations and thanks for your hard slightly envious, but, nonetheless, here’s hoping work! we can see an end to the Bulls long wait for success!

DAVID LANDRIGAN - 300 GAMES AND PREMIERSHIP CUP Over the weekend, David ‘Chach’ Landrigan, became the first player to reach 300 games for the Old Xaverians Football Club. If that wasn’t enough for Chach, he managed to notch up the milestone in a premiership game! Not a bad day out for the big fella who played a key role in the win, kicking three goals for the day. In his 300 games, Chach has played in 6 Premier ‘A’ flags (1995, 97,98,99,2000,2003) and with the Crocs in 2004 and last weekend in 2017 - that’s a total of eight flags for his club! Well done, Chach, on the impressive milestone, your eighth premiership and the amazing career - Hopefully, there’s a few more years (and premierships) to come for you yet.

GET TO A ealthier Plac OLD IVANHOE GRAMMARIANS AFC FIGHTING MND WITH NEALE DANIHER More than 120 guests, as well as Old Ivanhoe senior and under-19 players, gathered to hear inspiring words from former-Essendon great and Melbourne coach Neale Daniher at Chelsworth Park on Saturday. Many club members and players said it was the best day they’d been involved with Old Ivanhoe. Daniher played 82 games for the Bombers in an injury-marred career before coaching the Demons between 1998–2007. In 2014 he revealed his battle with motor neurone disease and has since become the face of the Fight MND campaign, delivering an inspiring message and helping raise valuable funds for research into the disease. On Saturday, Daniher spoke about the reality of having to face adversity at some time in your life and about the importance of seeing opportunity in adversity - particularly through his own battle of being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. His incredibly positive attitude and good humour had a huge impact on everyone in the room and proved to be inspirational to Old Ivanhoe with both teams claiming significant wins - the seniors beating Old Geelong to secure their place in Premier C next season while the under-19s topped the ladder to secure a home final at Chelsworth Park this Saturday. The Fight MND campaign has now raised more than $25million, while Old Ivanhoe added more than $20,000 to the cause on Saturday. Great work, Hoers!

LACHLAN BULL is a two-time U19 premiership player, captaining the winning 2007 team and was also member of the 2011 and 2012 reserves premiership sides. He made his senior debut in 2008 and over the next seven years played some excellent games at senior level. Lachlan is the older brother of senior defender Jordan. In addition to his four premierships, Lachlan has also been the recipient of numerous club awards over the last decade. Congratulations on reaching game 200, Lachlan.

Congratulation to De La Salle’s senior co-captain and one of the club’s most decorated players, SAM WILLIAMS, on reaching 200 games. Sam was an under 19 premiership player, captain and Best & Fairest winner and made his senior debut in 2008. He is a two-time senior Best and Fairest winner with several other placings and club awards. He has represented the VAFA on many occasions, becoming an almost permanent member of the team in recent seasons and played VFL football for Collingwood in 2012 and 2013. The eldest of three Williams brothers to play senior football for the club, he is the son of past premiership player and past president Richard. A hard-running player with exceptional skills and endurance, Sam is without question one of the competitions finest players.

Fitzroy team mates have acknowledged a quality player and quality person in CAILEAN MOORE, who has reached his 150 game milestone. Cailean (or Seymour to his team mates) came to Fitzroy half way through 2010 and went on to play in a winning Under 19 grand final that year. Over the last few years he's played a number of different positions and switched between the reserves and seniors, but it's his willingness to do whatever is asked of him that has seen him consistently in the Senior side this year. “He’s done everything asked of him, week in week out, and hasn’t looked like losing his spot,” says coach Nick Mitchell. “Whatever he can do to help the team and his mates, he’s prepared to do,” says Nick. Congratulations Seymour.

Quiet, confident and reliable, Fitzroy Reserves Captain JACK ATKINSON has also marked his 150th game for Fitzroy in recent weeks. A long-time defender, “Atko” has risen to become one of the club’s most respected blokes and his hard work and effort over many years has resulted in his appointment to skipper for season 2017. He is a quintessential Fitzroy man, with his beard, man bun and bike, and on-field he leads by example and gives his all for the jumper. Former captain and team mate, Sam Buckley, said of Jack “He is one of the terrific blokes at the club and a guy that you just love playing football with. It’s great seeing the leader he has become and he’s doing a stand-up job captaining the twos.” Congratulations Jack.

BRAD CAPLAN finally reaches his 150th game albeit three weeks later than originally planned due to an unfortunate, unforced accidental holiday. Joining AJAX Under 19's in 2009, Brad also played reserves and seniors in his first year. The following year he played all games in a strong Under 19 team. In 2011, Brad played most games with the reserves including a premiership medallion. Basically a permanent fixture in the seniors since rarely missing and being consistently a high accumulator of the Sherrin, Hotties was rewarded with the Club B & F in 2016 as well as being named in the B Grade Team of the Year. Has a huge family following attending every game, with “Pops” collecting a huge scrap book of his exploits. Well done and welcome back.

Congratulations to MHSOBFC club legend STEVE VILLANI on playing game 150 this weekend. A three time senior best and fairest winner, Steve is revered by his teammates for bravery, skill, competitive drive and leadership. Salami was a pillar in the High School’s most recent senior premiership, starting his career in the backline next to his brother Andrew, and blossoming into a top-class midfielder. Congratulations to Steve, let’s hope the boys can get the job done for you this Saturday.

When NICK MARSHALL came to Fitzroy in 2011 he fulfilled a boyhood dream of playing for the team he barracked for as a kid. Congratulations Nick on taking that achievement even further and playing over 100 games for the club. Nick, who is a student of the game, is a graceful and balanced footballer and always incredibly reliable in the Fitzroy Ressies team. He never loses his feet. Nick played his junior football in country Victoria for Terang-Mortlake FC in the Hampden Football League (south west Victoria). He was also attracted to Fitzroy in 2011 as the Under 19 side had just been elevated to the Premier division of the VAFA competition and he thought it would be a good challenging standard of footy. Well done to a man who has been up to the challenge.

Congratulations to Roy Boy NATHAN 'Liga' LIGRIS who recently went past the 100 game milestone in near record time. The 22-year-old midfielder and 2016 Fitzroy Best and Fairest runner up debuted with Fitzroy Football Club in the Under 19s in 2012, after playing 63 games with the Fitzroy Junior Football Club. His consistency of performance and reliability mean he has barely missed a game in the last six years, the last three in the senior side. Paying credit to his durability and work ethic, captain Rory Angiolella says Nathan is respected for his dedication to the club. "He's always on time to training, he always puts in on the track, he comes to all the functions and is always willing to put his hand up to chip in, which is really important at a club like ours." Aside from all that, he's got a great turn of pace and a piercing, accurate kick. Expect to see Nathan's name up on the leader board for the best and fairest again in 2017.

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian's JAKE KENYON - commencing as a talented and skilful under-age player, Jake was a member of the Saints 2016 Reserve Grade premiership team. A strong Firsts defender who picks up one of the key opposition forwards each week, he is quick off the mark, has good skills and is a terrific spoiler. Jake is very popular with teammates both on and off the field. Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian's CAM BUTLER - commencing as a talented and skilful under-age player, Cam has developed into a strong defender who picks up one of the key opposition forwards each week. A former Firsts Captain and currently Vice-Captain, he is not only a fine leader, but hard at the ball, a good mark, kick and a terrific spoiler. Cam is also a wonderful leader off the field and much respected by teammates. Notching up his 50th game for Old Haileybury is JACK MUNRO. In 2016 the speedy midfielder enjoyed a near-perfect season, captaining the Bloods' unde-19's to a premiership and winning the competition Best & Fairest by a street. This season Munners has settled into a regular position in the seniors where he has used his pace and smarts to good advantage. Congratuations, Jack, we're looking forward to many more years of good footy ahead of you. LACHIE TREVERTON plays his 50th game for Old Haileyburians this week. Trevo joined the Bloods in 2015 and straight out of school found himself as the senior ruckman in a premiership year. Since then the big fella has also spent time in the key forward and back positions, and doesn't mind a mark and goal. Above all it's his determination that stands out and leads the way for others to follow. Congratulations on reaching 50 games, Lachie.

MOMENTUM WITH PEGS HEADING INTO SEPTEMBER Like an awkward Saturday night, the regular season has come to an abrupt end. While the dust settles on a tense final round, we can look back on the weekend that drew the curtain on the home and away season. In the only dead rubber of Round 18, Therry hosted Whitefriars. Playing for Silly Sunday positive energies, the stakes weren’t so high. Therry came out powerfully and led by 44-points at half time. Gun forward, Corey Bannister was on fire and Whitefriars were facing another shellacking. The break did them wonders, though, and they came out fiercely in the third quarter, reducing the margin to seven. However, it was not enough. Therry contradicted the “premiership quarter” adage and kicked away to a 38-point victory. Lions leading goal-kicker, Corey Bannister, finished with six goals taking his 2017 tally to 33. Matthew Lyons was named the Lions’ best and continued his strong finish to the season. The Friars, who drop down next year, were spirited. In his only senior game for 2017, under 19 gun Callum Thorburn, impressed as his side’s best. Every other game had something hinging on the result and the Oakleigh v Ivanhoe tussle was no exception. Fighting for fourth spot, the Krushers simply wanted it more. Increasing their lead at every change, the finalists ran out 61-point victors. A good month after the halfway point of the season saved the Hoes from relegation but they will be looking to improve in 2018. Their linchpins, Mitch Lovell and Reuben Blackmore-Moore, had magnificent seasons and deserved more success. They were named their sides two best players in their final game. Lovell kicked 38 goals for the year to finish as their leader in that category. For Oakleigh, a strong back half has them wellpositioned to threaten in finals. On the back of Aaron Cloke, who kicked another eight goals in this one and finished the regular season with 69 goals, they will have their first round opponent worried. Another match winner is Tim Scott who contributed three of his own to be named his 16
side’s best. Another important fixture pitted two potential relegation bound teams against one another with the prize of a Division 1 spot up for grabs. And so, this match between St Johns and Brunswick NOBSPC was a hotly contested affair. An accurate first half had the NOBS up by 22 at the main break with one and a half feet in Division 1 in 2018. And, at three quarter time they were counting their chickens. However, the last quarter saw Jocs storm home to narrowly fall by four points. Resultantly, the NOBS stay up and the Jocs head back to Division 2. The victory came on the back of eight goals between Matt Shannon and Dom Sullivan who were their side’s best two. Matt Shannon finished the year on 36 goals, 3 shy of club leading goal-kicker, Chris Ford. Despite relegation, the Jocs have some positives to draw upon: Aaron Thornton kicked six majors, to finish on an impressive 55 for the year and Glenn Costas continued his amateur football dominance and is a sneaky chance for another league medal. Meanwhile, the battle between Ormond and Preston had the likelihood of deciding the final four positions. Ormond were playing for second and Preston for fourth. Inaccuracy from Ormond belied the difference between the sides in the first half and gave Preston a sniff when there was not really one. A half time boot change by the Monders saw them draw level half way through the third quarter and kick out to an eight-point final break lead. From then on, it was one-way traffic as Ormond raced away to a 31-point victory and a home final. Henry Simon was named their best but an impressive artillery will cause some damage in September. Despite missing finals, Preston finish the season with eleven wins, an impressive haul after coming up from Division 2. Liam Sutton finished the season on a high as he was named BOG and Oliver Lang snared three goals.

The final game, a fitting match up of the two best sides from the 2017 regular season, had SMS hosting PEGS. SMS could not relinquish top spot but PEGS were playing for second, and both were after bragging rights. The first quarter was ominous for the Saints as PEGS jetted out to a 14-point lead. SMS cut it to 10 at half time but were probably lucky to be that close with both Trent Skurrie and Adrian Romanyk causing the defence some headaches. After the main break, the Saints clawed their way even closer and closed the gap to just two. With the match on a knife’s edge, PEGS took their chance and scrapped their way to a 7-point win. Skurrie and Romanyk joined for 10 goals and will worry even the best defences in the finals with a combined 93 goals on the season. SMS finished minor premiers but will have their doubts after falling to PEGS in both games this year. Dan Ryan booted a bag of five while Manny Dolan managed three. With that, Dolan edged out Aaron Cloke to take the Division 1 goal-kicking mantle with 72 majors for the year.

The first week of finals sees SMS facing Ormond at Sportscover Arena on Saturday for a spot in the Grand Final. Although they are the two top scoring teams, defence wins finals. Stopping Dolan and Ryan will be the aim for Ormond while silencing three of Ormond’s best five will get the job done for the Saints. With a bee’s whisker between these two, I am going with SMS. The elimination final pits an unlucky PEGS against Oakleigh on Sunday, at Sportscover Arena as well. The potent forward line of the Oaks may have met its match against the stingiest Division 1 defence, that battle will tell the tale. Another close stoush will ensue but I think PEGS will get over the line.

THE ANIMALS FINISH STRONG WHILST A WIN WASN’T ENOUGH FOR THE SAINTS Old Paradians will go into this season’s finals series on the back foot after a shock loss to relegated Glen Eira. However, a win for the Saints didn’t grant them survival after Bulleen Templestowe defeated Eltham Collegians at home. Melbourne High School Old Boys defeated Prahran Assumption at home to inflict the Two Blues to only their second loss for the season, a win that also assured the Unicorns a spot in the finals.West Brunswick were too strong for Yarra Old Grammarians in their win at home, whilst Emmaus St Leo’s made light work of Hawthorn in their 98-point victory. Old Paradians started strong in their clash against Glen Eira, leading by nine points at the first change. Their dominance continued in the second quarter adding another four goals to their tally to bring the margin out to 19 points. But with the chance of survival beckoning, the Saints raced out of the blocks at halftime with a six-goal third term turning the tides to have them in front by nine points at the final change. Keeping the Raiders goalless and adding five more of their own allowed the Saints to run out 35-point winners, keeping their chances alive as long as other results went their way. Lachlan Pound, Vaughn Colyer and Julius Waras Carstensen all kicked three majors each for the Saints, with Colyer voted as their best on ground. Christopher Kandilakis was named the best player for the Raiders kicking two goals along with William Gilmore who also managed two goals. Melbourne High School Old Boys will go into this season’s finals series on a high after their win against Prahran Assumption. Prahran started strong with a sixgoal first half to lead by five points at the major change. With the smell of victory wafting through the change rooms at the break and the thought of a colossal upset front of mind, MHSOB rocketed out of halftime kicking five goals to one to lead by 17 points going into the final change. They managed to hold off a charge from the league leaders in the fourth, keeping the Two Blues to just two goals whilst also adding one of their own. Nicholas Hawking was huge for MHSOB booting four goals, whilst Thomas Beale was dominant in his best on ground performance. Josh Hogarth kicked four goals for Prahran to bring his season tally to 34, whilst Nathan Costin will go into the finals in good form after his best on ground display. West Brunswick ensured Yarra Old Grammarians won’t be featuring in the finals in 2017 after a hard fought win out at Ransford Oval. Yarra were on top early, holding an 18
eight-point advantage at the first change. It was goals galore in the second term as defence was completely disregarded, allowing the Magpies to add eight goals to their tally and the Bushrangers adding five of their own. Things slowed down in the third term with West Brunswick’s inaccuracy in front of goal keeping Yarra within striking distance. Another strong quarter from the Magpies kept Yarra from making any inroads in the final term, with a five-goal term bringing the final margin to 19 points. Rhys Hartwig finished with three goals to his name for the Magpies, whilst Christopher Germon was voted best afield. Nicholas Chamberlain booted four goals for the Bushrangers off the back of bags of three and four in his last two outings, while Jack Hall finished his season on a high with a goal in his best on ground performance. Emmaus St Leos ended their season on a high with a 98-point thrashing of Hawthorn away from home. The Animals were rampant all day with Hawthorn never in the contest with 20-point lead at quarter time soon turning into a 47-point lead at the major break. Their dominance continued with a seven-goal third term putting another 100-point loss to the hawks on the cards. But a strong final quarter for the season from both sides meant it stayed under the triple figure mark, with Hawthorn building upon their total adding three goals and leaving the final margin at 98 points. Thomas Birkett had a day out for the Animals booting seven goals, whilst David Hill added five of his own. Paul Baranello also managed four goals for the Animals in his best on ground performance, finishing the season in hot form after featuring in the best twice in the past three weeks. Justin Raiti kicked three goals for the Hawks, whilst Nathan Raiti kicked a goal and was named as Hawthorn’s best. The equation was simple for the Bullants, a win would ensure their safety, whilst a loss could spell the end of their time in Division 2. Not wanting to leave it up to chance, Bulleen Templestowe raced out of the blocks with a six-goal first term giving them a 19-point advantage at the first change. The game was tight in the second with neither side getting the jump on the other, leaving Eltham Collegians with a 31-point deficit to make up in the last half of the season. Eltham had their chances in the third to bring the game closer, however, poor kicking lead to the margin building to six goals at the final change. With the hard work already done, the Bullants cruised through the final term with both sides

adding two majors apiece meaning the final margin stayed just above six goals. Michael Considine kicked four goals for the Bullants whilst goal machine Kristian Cherbakof kicked three of his own to fall just one goal shy of a half century this season. Brett Gutterson kicked three goals for the Turtles to bring his season total to 45, whilst Bryan Galvin capped off a strong month in his best on ground performance. This win ensured that Bulleen Templestowe will feature in Division 2 next season, meaning that despite an upset win by Glen Eira over Old Paradians, the Saints were unable to leapfrog their way out of the relegation zone. Bulleen Templestowe’s, Kristian Cherbakof finished on top of the goal kicking tally in Division 2 this season with 49 goals. Brett Gutterson from Eltham Collegians finished in second place with 45 goals, just ahead of Yarra’s, Nicholas Chamberlain on 43 goals. Danny Nolan from Old Paradians (41) and Gerard Hogarth from Prahran Assumption (40) round out the top five.
Saturday. Prahran Assumption got the better of the Magpies last time the two sides met with a comfortable 41-point win at home. Melbourne High School Old Boys and Old Paradians will fight it out for a spot in the Preliminary final in their match up this Sunday out at Trevor Barker Oval. MHSOB defeated the Raiders by 50 points in the Round 1 this season, however, the next time they met in Round 11 the Raiders were convincing in their 36-point win at home. With their season tally at 1:1, this matchup is sure to be a nail biter.

DIVISION 3
WARRIORS CLAIM FINALS BERTH WITH UPSET WIN Heading into Round 18, fourth spot was there to claim for Westbourne Grammarians; the only issue, however, is they would be required to defeat ladder-leaders, UHS-VU, who had been all-conquering for the 2017 season. With their backs to the wall, Westbourne produced one of their best performances for the year, racing out to a 26-point half time lead. As expected, though, UHS showed their mettle in the third and rallied to reduce the margin back to just three points at the final change. Despite momentum being against them, the Warriors outworked the Vultures in the last, eventually winning by 18 points - in the process denying UHS-VU the minor premiership. Michael Culliver was best on ground for the the Warriors while Benjamin Johnson (4) and Jaxon Cooke (3) did most of the damage in front of goal. For the Vultures, it was the usual suspects in James McGee and Mitchell Sweeney with three goals apiece, as Nicholas Wallace led the charge for the losing side. The win secured Westbourne’s spot in the the four and they’ll face off against in-form Swinburne University for a spot in the preliminary final next week. Canterbury will count themselves unlucky to have missed out on finals after they did everything they could in Round 18 to secure fourth spot but the upset win to Westbourne denied them their chance to play finals. Had the former ladder-leading Vultures defeated Westbourne Grammarians, as many people predicted they would, the Cobras would have secured themselves a finals berth; As was their luck, however, the Cobras missed out on a finals berth by four points. When I say Canterbury did everything they could to secure their fourth spot, I wasn’t exaggerating, as they came out against a strong opposition in Richmond Central and won by 118 points, dominating the game start to finish. They sprung out of the block to lead by 45 points at quarter time and never looked back from there. The Cobras had 12 individual goal kickers with James Wilson booting five for the day while Thomas Lowden and Jimmy Wilson were impressive all day. Despite the big loss, the Snakes should be happy with their 2017 season which was pretty impressive after a 20
rocky start. Throughout the season, they even managed to take it up to some of the top teams and will look to build on those performances in 2018. Not to mention, Jake Munro who has had a stellar season, claiming the goal kicking award for the club. Harry Crowe finished the year on a high with an impressive performance for his side. After sitting in second position for 17 rounds, Power House finished their season strong to leapfrog UHS-VU and claim the Division 3 minor premiership. The House were coming up against an in form Swinburne University but they proved too strong for the Razorback running the game out as 37-point victors. Consistency has been the perfect description of Power House’s year as they have outlasted the fast start of UHS to enter the finals as flag favourites. The third quarter was where the game was won and lost as Power House made a statement against their fellow finalists and kicked seven goals to two. Despite the loss, Swinburne remain in third spot and destined for a strong finals campaign after a terrific last half of the season. The game between the two teams was fast-paced, high-scoring and hotly contested providing spectators with a taste of what finalslike footy. With five majors to his name, Benjamin Circosta was dangerous as ever in front of the big sticks for Power House, while the Devine brothers were judged best on ground for their efforts through the midfield. Swinburne threatened to get on top of Power House at stages of the game thanks to the good work of Ben Higgins who kicked five for the afternoon and Kevin Mcelgunn who found form with a best-for-his-side performance. South Melbourne Districts were inflicted with another loss and will be relegated to Division 4 without a win to their name in 2017. Having said that, South Melbourne were admirable in their final game for the year, matching it with La Trobe up until three quarter time, trailing by just two goals the final change. Heading into the last, it was South Melbourne’s best chance to break their duck for the year, however, La Trobe proved too strong and out ran the Bloods to record a 30-point THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

victory. Mitchell Gleeson was the most impressive player for the Trobers with four goals in a best on ground performance while Brenton Anderson was also good around the ground. For South Melbourne, it was the usual suspects in Antony Vlitas and Jordan Heis who led the resistance; Hamish Robinson and Jackson Consiglio did the most damage up forward for the Bloods kicking two goals apiece. After relegation was confirmed for Albert Park a couple of weeks ago and Point Cook opted to depart the VAFA in 2018, both teams were playing out the remainder of their season as a matter of pride over premiership points. As the ladder stood, Point Cook sat two wins above Albert Park on the ladder, so it was poised to be an evenly contested match. In quite a remarkable first quarter, both sides combined for 21 scoring shots, Albert Park converting with a perfect five goals straight and Point Cook kicking 10.6 to lead by 36 points at the first break. The Falcons, led by

HEAVYWEIGHTS FACE OFF IN DIVISION 4 FINALS Well that’s it, the 2017 home and away season is done and dusted. It flew by and now we have three weeks left before crowning the 2017 premiers. The final round saw the powerhouse side of the comp go down in unusual fashion and fourth place sealed up thanks to the bye. North Brunswick put a dagger through Eley Park’s finals hopes while Manningham will go into the finals with copious amounts of confidence after taking down top-of-the-table Aquinas. All the while, Parkside defeated Masala to end their season on a high note and Elsternwick beat the X-Men down at Elsternwick Park in a highscoring affair.
MASALA FC 13.19-97 DEF BY PARKSIDE FC 16.12-108 Despite neither side playing for a finals place, it didn’t stop the Tigers and Parkside from putting on a good show in the final game of the season. Masala were very wasteful early kicking 2.9 (21) in the first quarter compared to the Red Devils who put on 5.5 (35) to take the lead into the first break. The Tigers pulled the margin back a bit before half time to go into the change rooms six points down. A brilliant third term from Masala saw them take the lead and start the fourth quarter with a two-point advantage. The stage was set for a very entertaining final term of the season for the two clubs and, it was Parkside that end their year on the high note following a four-goal-to-three last quarter, coming home with an 11-point win. Sam Freeman ended the match with three goals and best afield honours for Masala. For Parkside Michael and Isaac Romano both booted four goals while Michael Sabelberg finished best on ground. NORTH BRUNSWICK 19.15-129 DEF ELEY PARK SHARKS 7.13-55 It was a must win match for Eley Park but unfortunately, they’ll be celebrating mad Monday early after failing to knock off the rampaging Bulls side. The first quarter was a close one with the Bulls taking a one-point advantage into quarter time. The second quarter wasn’t as pretty for the Sharks as the game started to slip out of reach when North Brunswick kicked five unanswered goals 22
and stretched the margin out to 24. A six-goalto-three term in favour of North Brunswick all but sealed the Sharks’ season. Unable to slow down the Bulls’ scoring, the margin blew out to 74 points by the final siren. Jesiah Mcgarvie had another solid game, kicking three goals and Owen Dickson had arguably his best game for the year for the Sharks. For the Bulls Andrew Keegan finished best on ground and Jake George kicked six majors to increase his season total and end the year with the goal kicking award.
ELSTERNWICK 18.13-121 DEF ST FRANCIS XAVIER 14.8-92 An exciting game played out in Round 18 between Elsternwick and St Francis Xavier. With neither team a chance to play next week, defence took a back seat and both teams kicked big scores! Both teams booted five goals in the first quarter and had the game shaping into a tight contest. however, the Wickers kicked six goals in the second while the X-Men could only manage three and the half time margin was sitting at 20 points. A close third quarter saw the Wickers increase their lead by one. A relatively close fourth quarter had Elsternwick going home with a 29-point win in a high-scoring affair. Jake Cowan ended his season on a positive note, kicking four goals for St Francis and getting the votes for best on ground. No stats were available for Elsternwick MANNINGHAM COBRAS 13.7-85 DEF AQUINAS 5.10-40 The big shock of the round came in the final match, Aquinas kicking an uncharacteristically low score as the went down to the Cobras at Koonung Reserve. Manningham will go into their finals run with immense confidence after knocking off top place. The Cobras came out on fire booting 6.2 (38) to the Bloods’ 1.3 (9) in the first quarter and continuing their form in the second with another three goals to one. Aquinas won the 3rd quarter but were still trailing Manningham by 28 points. The Cobras held the Bloods goalless in the last quarter to run out the match 45-point victors. Michael Muller and Chris Jolly did the damage up forward for Manningham THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017

kicking four and three goals, respectively. For Aquinas, Patrick Mahon booted four goals and Jai Perret finished with best on ground votes for the team.

RISING STAR NOMINEES BRENDAN MCCOY — PARKDALE VULTURES Brendan played his first game at Parkdale Vultures in 2016 in the U19’s and made his debut in the seniors in round 14 this year. Brendan is a skilled small forward with a good turn of pace he is similar to Orazio Fantasia as they both love nothing more than being involved in setting up goals. Brendan has really clean hands, rarely fumbling the ball and has a fantastic skills when kicking on either foot. He is a very balanced footballer and creates opportunities for those around him. As a new player at the club Brendan is still fairly quiet around the club, however the supporters have admired his ability to hit targets as well as his fantastic ability to grow facial hair.

HOLMESGLEN UNDER 19
Marty Kelliher
ROUND 18 REVIEW & SEMI FINALS PREVIEW PREMIER: In what was a remarkable last round, the margins between being in a second semi and a cut throat first semi came down to 1.07% as Old Xaverians who defeated SKOB by 46 points secured second spot and doomed SKOB to fourth. All the while, De La claimed third spot as a result of completely overwhelming St. Bernard’s by 107 points. All other results were probably pretty predictable, and as such, Parkdale drop back to Section 2 for next season where they will be joined by St. Bernard’s. Given their tradition of Under 19 footy, no doubt St. Bernard’s will look to undertake a deep review to see what went wrong. This week we see the start of finals and the time for hollow chest thumping and bluster is over because everything that has gone before is irrelevant. Whilst some would see me as being diplomatic in this, I can see any of the four teams going all the way to win this year’s premiership. Each team has mixed results over each and this hopefully will make for a gripping and engrossing finals campaign where all games will be decided by small margins.
2ND SEMI: BEAUMARIS V OLD XAVERIANS Beaumaris by virtue of finishing on top have been the benchmark for the season and their form across the year has earned them the right to the double chance; however, recent form has been patchy, which may be due to promoting some boys to the seniors. For the Old Xaverians they have gathered some momentum and have enjoyed recent wins over De La and last week over a SKOB team that was strangely meek. Each team has strengths and for the Xavs it’s their feisty on-ballers led by the combative Batten and Dalbosco who will keep battering in and they are complemented by the form big man of the competition in Sam Ralph along with fellow senior debutant from last round in Cullity. They are also supported by a swathe of goal kickers; For the Sharks, they have the tall timber up forward with Gibbins and Cusack who will stretch all teams defenders. In addition, they have some very smart on-ballers and when they click they are a terrific side to watch as they play a powerful, and at times irresistible, brand of hard-running footy. The question is which Beaumaris team will turn up. At the very least a disappointed loser will still have a chance to rebound, so it’s all set up for a cracker and the winner will have an opportunity to watch the loser thrash it out the next week. Given both teams seniors have have their season’s fates sealed, this could be the last chance for meaningful silverware that each club has, and this all points to a feisty and potentially volatile encounter.
FIRST SEMI: DE LA SALLE V SKOB Such is the evenness of the top four this could well have been a grand final prior to the capitulation of SKOB last week against Xavs, and as such spectators are spoiled with the quality of what is an elimination final. Again, it will come down to how well do De La cover the smarts of Hatzis who has played a lot on ball this year, but also is a deadly forward when given some time and space. They will also need to monitor the other forwards in Morgan, Gabelich and Masson-Moyle who’s recent form is good along with the talented Pisker who has just roamed across half back unaccompanied for most of the year. For De La it may well come down to the strength of the group as seems to be their way. They never seem to be overburdened with individual stars, but rely upon a collective approach which is highlighted by frenetic pressure and tackling from all players. I have no idea here, I don’t want to pick anyone because I will no doubt be told in no uncertain terms by those in both camps.
PREMIER RESERVE: The first draw for 2017 in Premier Reserve section as De La were lucky to escape with two points against an Old Scotch team now

unable to make finals. St. Bernard’s did what they needed to do to secure that finals spot with a thumping win over the resilient SKOB (3). SKOB look to have secured a home final as a result of their big win over a disappointing Beaumaris. Old Xaverians had the bye and return ready to rumble as finals loom.
Holmesglen UNDER 19 Premier Reserve Old Xaverians v St. Bernard’s SKOB v De La Salle
SECTION 2: Old Melburnians did what they had to and after making their coaches sweat they finally secured the last of the top four spots when they held on against Collegians. As a result they replaced Williamstown CYMS who capitulated against Old Carey and subsequently slipped out of the four. For the CY’s this was a dreadful end to the season and they will rue this loss. Fitzroy and Uni Blacks who have both been valiant across the season leave us and take up residence in Section 3 for season 2018. In what has been a very tight section all year, we see a couple of intriguing games that are difficult to predict given the haphazard nature of each teams’ form across the season. As such I loathe to predict too much too confidently.
SECOND SEMI: COLLEGIANS V OLD CAREY Collegians are probably the form team in this match and yet Old Carey, whom I had written off a few weeks ago, have rebounded strongly and as such they cannot really be discounted. For Collegians Ed Greene is a major force and will need to be watched closely. Alongside him are Van Driel, Schwab and Scott who all need to be monitored, because of their overall consistency and stopping them will assist Old Carey in their quest for a grand final berth. For the Panthers Brusnahan and Chapman have had strong years, but I fancy that if they Lions can stop the midfield supply to Brusnahan that may decide the outcome in their favour.
FIRST SEMI: SBMT V OLD MELBURNIANS After just scraping into the finals the OM’s would be on a bit of a high and that can sometimes be a powerful force in finals. That said the Tigers have a history of being dogged, play with energy and high levels of intensity which will test all opponents. For the Tigers they will need continued good form from Goodchild, Lannon and Barba all familiar names to long time Tiger supporters. Stop the supply to Goodchild and I can see OM’s winning. On the other hand OM’s have been well served by Sultana, Lappin and Shatin and when available Bede, so they will be critical for any success that my pre-season flag pick enjoys. I have a feeling that the game could be decided early and if the Tigers are “up for it” and play with a frenetic desperation they could prevail, but if they start slow and allow OM’s to work into the game it could be a long afternoon.
SECTION 3: Old Trinity preserved their status in this section at the expense of Hampton Rovers who have faded badly the longer the season progressed. In brief, outside of Marcellin all top four teams won and that will help provide each team with momentum given that from now on slip ups no matter how minor are punished severely.
2ND SEMI: OLD IVANHOE V OLD HAILEYBURY This could indeed be a preview of the main game in two weeks time, and as such each team will be looking to gain the psychological advantage over their rival in case they meet again. For the ‘Hoers they have been well served by a strong spine and this will again form the basis of their finals campaign. They will be looking to
THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017
Nagel to lead from the front as he has done so all year and he will be working in tandem with Jones, Scuderi and Larkin to limit the midfield ball of the Bloods. For Old Haileybury they have the dominant forward in the comp with Darius Seccull, but it has been telling when he has not been kicking goals they do struggle for other avenues. That said the Bloods have been well served by Paul and Sharpe along with the supporting Secculls who have helped give the Bloods forward potency all year. It may well come down to stopping the supply to Seccull that determines the outcome of this.
FIRST SEMI: MARCELLIN V ORMOND The Eagles have been battling for a top two spot all season and can consider themselves unfortunate to be in this elimination final. I just wonder if last week’s result was a case of a team risking flirting with their form. If so, that could prove disastrous. Meanwhile, Ormond have momentum on their side and they will not be there to just make up numbers given recent form, but they may just be a step below the top three who have swapped results with each other across the season. For Ormond, they will need to keep an eye on Capetola and somehow try and curb the aerial power of Strempel and Zanella who have been pivotal across the season, if they are to progress. Conversely, the Eagles will need to be mindful of a famous ‘Monder name in Oaten who would be sick of others at Gunn reserve filling him with stories of his fabled father’s exploits. Coupled with his desire to return the glory days to Ormond the ‘Monders have been well led all year by Cooke, Szydlik and Fogarty. I just have a feeling that the Bulleen boys will be desperate to atone for the aberration of last week and it may well be enough to give them the points.
SECTION 4: We farewell Therry who were desperately unlucky last week and they will join Parkside in Section 5 next year. Meanwhile, Old McKinnon would want to have been foxing last week, but it’s not a good time to see that as a legitimate strategy given the consequences for both teams involved. Monash Blues leapfrogged into second and they would now see themselves as a genuine threat. In the other top four match, Mazenod prevailed over PEGS in a tense, low-scoring game and they now seem to have a virtual stranglehold on the season end prize.
2ND SEMI:MAZENOD V MONASH BLUES The most consistent team this year takes on the form team of the last six weeks in what will be a fascinating contest. Mazenond have taken just about all before them this year and their victory over PEGS last week sees them as the team to chase. Their success to this point has been built around a solid contribution from all players and the spread of best players each week has been central to this. However, leading lights across the year have been Sherlock, Riley, Raffa and Ilic so they will be uppermost in the minds of the Monash coaching staff. The students have built momentum across the year and unlike some of the Uni based teams didn’t really seem to lose too much during or after mid-semester break. Proscino and Kelleher have been prominent and with Rafftery and McLay they too will be central to opposition planning. For mine, by sheer force of consistency across the season I believe that the ‘Nods will advance and enjoy a week off.
FIRST SEMI: PEGS V OLD MCKINNON Inconsistency across the last few weeks seems to have dogged the Old McKinnon side whose form has fluctuated wildly throughout the year. PEGS on the other hand started slowly and have since been quite consistent barring a few late hiccups, which is probably to be expected. Recently, we saw Old McKinnon venture to PEGS and walk away with a terrific win, and this may play on the minds of both sides. However, finals are different beast and as such past form is not always a reliable indicator. The PEGS have been well served
THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017
by the prolific Saggio and Erougian and it is not hard to see they would form the bulk of the planning by Old McKinnon along with Luscetto and Sayers. For PEGS, they will need to look at ways to stop the delivery to the imposing figure of Laucher-Lunares along with how to stop the hard running Maxwell and the consistent Strangio. Given the hot and cold nature of Old McKinnon I will no doubt end up with egg well and truly plastered across my face given my selection, but PEGS have been a model of consistency for longer across the season and as such I see them advancing to the next week.
SECTION 5: De La Salle blew top spot with an insipid and meek performance when they entertained MHSOB who look to be a team on the rise. For De La, the question needs to asked if they are the emperor’s new clothes, are they merely sufficed with fanfaronade or can they bounce back. For Old Camberwell, they look the real deal after they have flexed some considerable muscle over recent weeks and brushed aside their opponents dismissively and with certainty. First elimination final: St. Bedes Mentone tigers v Hampton Rovers Two teams which are the second team of their clubs which is tremendous for the future of each club as they look to regenerate senior lists and keep their clubs building for a better future. However, both sides have been consistently inconsistent with form lines that resemble Melbourne’s notorious weather, hot one day, cold the next, indifferent on others and always unpredictable. As such it is hard for the coaches of each team to effectively match up on opponents because both the players form has been hard to predict, but also the teams have changed quite regularly as they seek the right combination across their clubs 2 teams. I have seen both and when at their feisty best I like the look of St. Bedes Mentone tigers who have a ferocious appetite for the contest with Whitelaw, O’Toole, Goodchild leading lights but well supported by Steiner and Mylonakis. For the Rovers they have a very good marking target up forward in Jones and he will definitely be one to watch as he’s good overhead and quite mobile. He is supported up forward by Wood who is a handy secondary target and the Tigers will need to keep an eye on Marron, Butters and Best if they want to progress to meet Old Camberwell in the next round. I have a sneaking feeling that the Tigers might just edge this, but it may take until late in the game for it to be settled.
SECOND ELIMINATION: OAKLEIGH V MHSOB Oakleigh have performed well, but they seem to have good and then bad days which doesn’t always bode well, and no doubt frustrates their coaches and supporters as they wonder which Krushers team will front up. And in an elimination final that’s not ideal when they face a MHSOB team which has had more good days recently than bad ones. In all this shapes up as a game which could go either way. Oakleigh will look to Goodwill, Galanos, Buntjes and Standish to lead the way as they have for most of the season. For the Unicorns if they can cut off the supply to Goodwill that will prove pivotal to the final result. For the Krushers they need to try and stop the run and spread of the Unicorns who were far too enthusiastic and committed for a sluggish De La last week. MHSOB have been well served across all lines but the barometers have been Byass, Sargeant and Philips. However, their strength has been the evenness of the collective as they probably don’t have the game breakers and dominant players like others, so it may be that if each Oakleigh player can quell their individual opponents this could decide the match. The winner of this will go onto meet De La Salle who after last weeks effort will be glad of the break, so each of these teams are not without a chance to progress to the last game of the season. This is a genuine flip of the coin and I lean with no great confidence to MHSOB.

@GeoffreyReilley
5 YEARS AGO – 2012 It was round 18 in Premier A and two certain finalists, De La Salle and Old Xaverians faced off at East Malvern. De La absolutely blitzed the Xavs in the opening term with a stunning 8.5 to 0.1and that margin would take some effort to reduce. Xavs did get within 1 goal of Da La by three quarter time but they had spent their pennies and the D’s romped home 17.15 to 7.9. Old Xavs would still be in the second semi and De La Salle in the first semi but ‘winning form is good form’ as Premier A scribe, Andrew Leonard, so aptly recorded. Best - Pickett (5), Haslem, Lowe, Gotch, Shields, Williams (De La Salle) and Shaw, Darvell, Handley (3), Colbert, Kennedy, Williams (Old Xavs). Finals contenders, Beaumaris and Old Melburnians met in round 18, both finals’ aspirants and only inaccuracy stopped Beaumaris winning by a bigger margin. The Sharks were well in control at half time with 24 scoring shots to 5 and finished up winning 12.23 to 9.10 and a realisation that they would both face up the following weekend. Best - Thompson, Dean, Haynes, Murton, Di Natale (4), Barnes (Beaumaris) and Batten, Beaumont, M Marangon, A Marangon, Haralambous (Old Melburnians). Caulfield Grammarians advertised their AFL Grand Final Eve Luncheon featuring guest speakers David Schwarz, Gary Ablett Junior and Liam Pickering and St Kevin’s Old Boys also advertised their Grand Final Luncheon featuring popular compare, Ian Cover of Coodabeens fame. AFL Legend, Kevin Bartlett would be their Guest Speaker. David Wall, St Bernard’s Old Collegians’ speedster, was the Club Warehouse Rising Star nominee after leading the Under 19 Premier Division goalkicking for a time before being elevated to the senior team. The Sherrin Sharpshooters in Premier Division showed both Damien Yze (Old Carey) and Andrew Ramsden (Old Trinity) sharing the lead on 53 goals ahead of Sam Pickett (De La Salle) on 48.
10 YEARS AGO – 2007 In A Section, fourth place was up for grabs between Collegians and Uni Blues. Uni Blues visited De La Salle and took some control at quarter time with a three goal lead increasing it to six majors by half time. De La continued to struggle against the Blues despite being at home in East Malvern. The Blues finished up winning easily 17.8 to 8.19 and the D’s admitted their opponents were as good as they had encountered during the season. Best - Paterson (3), McKinnon, Lowcock, Gleeson, Steele, Sturrock (Uni Blues) and Harrison, Kelly, Nankervis, Semmel, Roberts, Shields (De La Salle). In the other main game, Collegians failed to overcome 54
Old Xaverians even though they were narrowly ahead at half time. The Xavs increased the intensity after half time and after a fight back by Collegians in the final term, Xavs won by 9 points to end the lion’s season. In B Section, AJAX led Old Melburnians at each break as they faced relegation but in an exciting finish they were defeated by only 2 points as the OM’s asserted themselves late in the game. The result was relegation for AJAX along with MHSOB. Best - Paule, Righetti, Lawler, Russell, Prowse, Wilmoth (OM’s) and Lewski, Wollner, Segal, Jankie, Chester, Sutton (AJAX). There was some good news for AJAX when they acknowledged Matt Dudakov’s 250th game as he drew level with his best mate, Brett Duzenman in equal second spot on the Club’s all time games list. The new committee for the VAFA Umpires’ Association had been voted in - Rob Mayston (President), Rob Sneddon (Vice President), Alan Stubbs (Secretary), Craig Bratjberg (Assistant Secretary), Paul Jones (Treasurer) and Vin Viscovi (Building Manager).
20 YEARS AGO – 1997 The main interest in round 18 in A Section was if De La Salle OC could defeat St Bernards and Old Haileybury failed against Old Trinity then De La could feature the following week in the first semi final. De La did not start as well as expected and St Bernards led at quarter time albeit by 5 points. De La, with Evans, Toohey and Jackson leading the way, took the lead in the second quarter , maintained it in the third term and played a determined last quarter to win 15.6 to 11.10. Best Evans, Segar, Jackson, Toohey, Lafferty, Duncan (DLS) and Harvey, Sheehan, Gollant (3), Perrett, Comito. Kennedy (St Bernards). In the Old Haileybury V Old Trinity game, Haileybury went to the front by half time and won convincingly (10.18 to 8.2) to snuff out De La Salle’s finals’ aspirations. The main interest in B Section was the battle for second place between MHSOB and Ormond. Ladder leaders Old Brighton did the right thing for Ormond by defeating MHSOB (10.8 to 8.11) and Ormond defeated Mazenod (9.15 to 4.9) so it was down to percentage. With Ormond’s defence keeping Mazenod’s forwards in check throughout the game, their forwards could not kick straight enough and Ormond finished short on percentage. Best - Turner, Robbins (3), Connell, Collins, Black, Fraser (Orm) and Hanley, Pearce, Fisher, Little, Quirk, Morgan (Mazenod). B Section Scribe Terry Quirk selected his B Section 1997 Dream Team Backs: S.Hollow (Therry), M.Quirk (Mazenod), C.Tucker (Ivanhoe) H/Backs: S Fisher (Mazenod), M Brady (SKOBS), M Veal (Old Ivanhoe) Centres: C Bruce (MHSOB), P Flynn (Ivanhoe), N Astapenko (St Kilda/Sth Caulfield) THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017
H/Frwds: J Turnbull (Banyule), J Bradley (O Brighton), R Block (Ormond) Forwards: M Jackson (O Brighton), D Woodley (MHSOB), P McDonald (Orm) Rucks: M Olive (SKOBS), J Weddle (Old Ivanhoe), R Gilmore (St Kilda/Sth Caulfield) Reserves: D Williams (Banyule) and M Goodwin (Therry) Coach: Dale Tapping (Old Brighton)
30 YEARS AGO – 1987 With the top four settled in A Section, the main interest was in who out of Caulfield Grammarians and Uni Blues would join Bulleen Templestowe in the journey back to B Section. As it happened Caulfield and the Blues faced up to one another to determine the outcome. It was a very dour affair early with one goal apiece in the first quarter and all square at half time with 4.4 each. The Blues took control in a disastrous third term for Caulfield where they could only manage 2 behinds yet the Blues kicked 7.6. Although Caulfield responded in the last after a right royal blast from the coach, the Blues took the game 12.18 to 10.10. Best - S Macauley, Moloney, Banks, A Christie, Richards, Curnow (Uni Blues) and Harris, Kanis, Morrissey, McClelland, Cooney, Norman (Caulfield). In B Section the main interest was also in who would be relegated and Banyule and Fawkner ‘crossed swords’ in round 18 to decide their respective fates. Fawkner certainly threw everything in their arsenal against Banyule and won the game convincingly 23.17 to 11.7 and yet Banyule’s percentage just managed to stay above that of Fawkner and Fawkner joined Bulleen Templestowe in going down to C Section. Best - A Saggers (6), R Young, G Busst, Ruggerio, T Young (Fawkner) and J Fraumano, Gilham, Jenkins, B Gillies, G Williams, M Fraumano (Banyule). The only undefeated team in any section was Old Xaverians in Junior Section 1 who had finished 4 games clear on top of their section ladder. The only ‘centurion’ among the section sharpshooters was T Wilson (St Andrews) 127 in F Section with two and possibly three matches to go.
40 YEARS AGO – 1977 In D Section, top four team Alphington, did not have it all their own way against ‘middle of the road’ State Bank. The Bankers had a terrific start and led for three quarters but unfortunately for them, not at the end of the fourth quarter. Alphington showed their real form in the last term with 8 goals to 3 goals for a 17.13 to 14.13 victory and top spot in the section. Best players – G Kandy, Chilcott, Shearer, Critchley, Jamieson, Roberts (Alphington) and Austerberry, Williams (5), Jeffery, Dent (4), Jessup, Wynd (State Bank). Glen Kandy played very well in his 150th for the club. The “Kandy Man” was well known as a high leaping THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2017
ruckman who constantly fed his rovers, capable of taking some screamers and then confusing his team mates as to where the ball would go when he kicked it! Glen would be handy man for his team in the coming finals’ series.
50 YEARS AGO – 1967 Commonwealth Bank, with little to play for in B Section other than pride, met Ormond who had the chance to go to the top of the ladder. The Monds were in for a shock in the first quarter as the Bank rattled on 5.2 to 1 straight goal. An even second term saw the Monds still well behind by 4 goals and they fell further back by the last break. The difference proved too much for Ormond with Commonwealth Bank finishing in front 11.2 to 6.12. Best players – Zanchetta, Dick, Edwards (3), Carman, Shacklock, Robertson (Comm Bank) and Schafer, Fitzroy, Curtis, Ladd, Briggs, Cameron (Ormond). Jack Chapman played his 150th game for St Kevin’s Old Boys and Paul Pemberton and Mike Bidey both played their 50th games. Coburg’s captain, Brian Callahan recorded his 200th game and Dave Clark notched up his 100th for St Kilda CBC. Glenhuntly’s dashing back pocket, Robin Nolan recorded his 100th, OGG’s defender Charlie Stinger his 100th and another century to Ron Hancox at St Bernards.
60 YEARS AGO – 1957 In the D Section second semi-final, De La Salle met National Bank for the right to be elevated to C Section and to participate in the Grand Final in two weeks time. The Bank opened up with the wind and attacked furiously in the first quarter and strained De La’s defence to the limit. The bankers were winning in the air but De La’s defence forced the ball into the defensive pocket time and again and only 2 points separated the teams at quarter time. It seemed all De La in the second quarter but Corby led the Bank’s defence and they out-bustled the De La forwards before Faul, in a purple patch, kicked two telling goals. At half time the D’s led by 19 points. By three quarter time De La had increased their lead and established too difficult a margin for the National boys to run down. Final scores 9.22 to 6.10 and De La would enter the Grand Final full of confidence. Best players – McCormick (2), Pilkington, Faul (2), Watts (De La Salle) and Strickland, Ferguson, Studham, Wooley (National Bank). Detailed in the “Ball Briefs” column of The Amateur Footballer, was a reference to the Hampton Scouts and their young 14 year old star, Ross Smith. The Scouts were looking forward to many more fine games from Ross before the inevitable recruitment to “the big league”. Ross Smith proved the Scouts’ predictions correct going on to one of the finest VFL careers for St Kilda including two Brownlow Medals. 55

CLUB XVIII

CROCS CLAIM CLUB XVIII (1) PREMIERSHIP Old Xaverians claimed the 2017 Club XVIII Section 1 flag after they defeated South Mornington by 47 points at Sportscover Arena. Led by a best-on-ground performance and five goals from King/ Landrigan Medallist, Alastair Wood, the Crocs exploded in the fourth term with nine unanswered goals after leading by just six points at the last break. Matthew Walsh and Tim Trahair impressed across the four quarters, while Harry Healey kicked two goals before his game ended with an injured shoulder. Adding to the Crocs’ celebrations is the fact David Landrigan kicked three goals in his 300th match – the first Xav to reach the milestone - what a day to achieve it! The Tigers were outstanding for the first three quarters but unable to curb the onslaught despite the wind having died down significantly in the final term. The Tigers came from third spot on the ladder at the conclusion of the home and away season with two incredible victories against Prahran Assumption and Hawthorn AFC. King/Landrigan Medal: Alastair Wood (Old Xaverians)

BOX HILL NORTH CLAIM CLUB XVIII (2) PREMIERSHIP Earlier in the day, Box Hill North capped off a sensational season with the Club XVIII Section 2 premiership, defeating Chadstone by 57 points. Despite kicking an inaccurate 9.21, the Demons proved too strong across the course of the match as they won every quarter except the third when the Synners kicked two goals to one. The match was tight early on with the Demons only holding an eight-point lead at quarter time after kicking one goal five whilst holding Chadstone to just three behinds. A strong outing in the second helped them to a 39-point margin going into the halftime break with Box Hill’s inaccuracy meaning their four goals were accompanied by eight behinds.The Synners pegged them back with two goals in the third, however, by that stage the damage had already been done. A three-goal final term for the Demons capped off a well-deserved premiership after a magnificent season, finishing the home and away fixtures with 17 wins and one loss. Daniel Penny top-scored for the Demons with three goals while Brenton Odza kicked two. Leon Desmond received the best-on-ground medallion from the officiating umpires for his standout performance, kicking a goal and stepping up when the game was in the balance. Both sides entered Club XVIII from Division 4 in 2016 and finished one and two after the home and away season. Best on Ground Medal: Leon Desmond (Box Hill North)
