SPO~T SCOV ER VAFA SPONSOR I Ile VAFA last Wednesday week successfu lly hosted for the second time the annual S (Public Schools) versus AGSV (Grammar Schools) match . The ~ .-tFA jumped at the ch ance last year to be involved in the support of this 11 iatch each year as the schools involved nourish m any of the Old Boy clubs c ;i lhe VAFA competition . For the record final scores were: APS 1 0 .14 (7~`) defeated AGSV 5 .6 (36) . lu his pre-match address to the School Heads an d Football Program F'---Hi :L STEVENS Directors Richard Evans ( VAFA President) underlined the special CHIEF EXECUTIV E relationship between the two groups which is sometimes lost, "when other OFFICER cc,mpetitions are in place only to produce future AFL players, often at the c.c,}ense of student life interests outside of football - most notably education ." Richard succinctly put extension of education not an li : point that we see "the playing of Australian Rules as iim-Ud erat to it . " in his address Richard Evans also mentioned our appointment this year of ex-AFL umpire and AFL Director of Umpiring Bill D elle r in an appointment fully funded by the VAFA to provide a greater number of umpires through the VAFA's greatest asset - the schools that form the backbone of the competition . Bill has spent most of this year identifying the various programs that exist in schools for cleveloping umpires and writing a "bluep t" for future programs . It is much, much more than simply conducting a few clinics in schools with groups of students ! ! I .ast year the VAFA gave the opportunity for individuals or families to purchase multiple tickets for individual matches or for a series of matches in a section or mixture of sections at discounted prices . Orders must be lodged by mail and be accompanied by a cheque for the value of the tickets . The VAFA v, ill absorb the cost of posting out the tickets or they can be picked up from the VAFA . PI-ICC3 are as follows: A to C sections - gate _ice $ 8 / ticket - 4(S25) ; 6 ($38) ; 8 ($50) ; 10 ($75) ; 20 ($140) D svctions - gate -rice f3 i ticket - 4(S20) ; 6 ($30) ; 8 ($40); 10 ($50) ; 20 ($90 ) U1 9 (GF only) - g :e - e$Fa I ticket - as above . Two quick matters to finish today on . Couple of reports of belongings goi; from rooms whilst a ames are in progress at finals venues . It is suggested that clubs appoint a doorman who is prepared to miss watching the match to monitor who is coming and going from rooms . This is particularly a problem when on the day two clubs are forced to share rooms . The problem is eased if the host club is able to provide the doorman with a key to lock the rooms . A reminder to VA umpires appointed to finals . To gain free admission at venues you need to show our appointment notice to gate staff . Umpires who phone for their appointments on a Friday shoul d as!- ' :ate to fax the appointment to them . Just saying you r,re an umpire is not aeeeptable . Last week a number of Next tMeek's hiatehes . .. ..INDEX . .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. . . ... . .. .. .. . .. .. .. . .. .. . .. .. .6 째wags" tried telling gate staff they were the umpires of the Coacims' Clipboard . .. ... .. .. . .. .... . .. .. .. . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. .. .. ... .. . .. .12 day just because they were carrying a kit bag! ! For the Urm of the Game ... . . ... . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. . ... . .. .. .. . ..18-19 And finally - with finals now in full swing in all sections all iinahsts are wished all the best in the matches ahead . Attention also swings to Monday night's Vote Count and Presentation Night at the Crown Entertainment Complex at ~vhich VAFA president Richard Evans will make a special tribute of the contribution to the VAFA over many years of the legendary N oel Colin

And that was in his third game back after retiring from league fo0ty at Sydney last year, when injuries restricted him to one senior game and a handful of games with Port Melbourne . YOU LITTLE BEAUTY Former D Section player Andy Cultrera dazzled as Trinity had a final stab at making the finals . The enterprising smaliman potted seven goals to again put aside a few snaps for the scrap book and confirm he was one of the surprise parcels of this year's competition. He crossed from Aquinas to Old Trinity in one of the best transactions of the off-season . GOOD 'UN You had to smile at a match report posted on Old Melburnians' web site after their win over St Bernards in round 17 . After the customary Best and Goals, there was the entry for Umpires . But instead of the customary names of the umps, the author had simply penned "not too bad" .

SOME DYNASTY Old Xaverians will probably break a VAFA record next Sunday as they clamber into their 11th final's tilt in a row. The previous record, 10, was probably shared with Old Scotch while De La Salle once were September activists nine times in succession . The reason for the ambiguity of the record is that the VAFA has no record of who finished second, third or fourth from 1892-1927 .

performances throughout the needed at the end of i t So, how should you > r is of ' i - .; conditioning? Well, ( -1 's for sure ; the worst scenario is to shuJ = k one game to the next, simply reacting to the success or failure of the team on the weekend jiat gone . Drifting along like this without considering the full impact of the training done one week, or what you expect for the future, is courting disaster as the season progresses. Plan ahead

Any team aiming to perform at its best in Au~ust/September has to plan very well ; even before they can be assured of playing tha t month . That there's time to train hard, and a time not to, is a statement nobody will have trouble agreeing with . Where it can be open to more diverse opinion, is VJHEN to train hard and when not to . Dealing with the draw The draw each team faces will often impose a rhythm on training by itself. That rhythm is determined largely by two factors who you're playing an d how manv days break you've got between games(Saturday or Sunday games) . Using the AFL competition as an an alogy - if six days after playing Brisbane at the Gabba you're rostered to meet Port Adelaide on the hard and fast Colonial Stadium turf, it's pretty clear your team will benefit from a reduced tr aining load and intensity before coming up against another tough opponent . And that applies whether you beat Brisb ane or were beaten .

There will be other weeks when the draw is kinder and a heavier training load can be imposed . Seen over the length of a season, the training program goes through a series of peaks an d troughs. This all ows players to lift that little bit e-xtra, both physicall y and mentally, for key games along the

way . At the same t.sne, it can help them avoid the staleness which can result in losing games that o have been von, all because the loni teri-T3 !dn't allo,IDr the natural ebb and f` ow p; perfor ance . S

C . 3â&#x20AC;˘rind back to season 2001 : F-Iai*rthorr, ~ed a major form slump in August only t r come back with a vengeance in Septembel Adjustments in training loads had much to d with this . Drawing towards the end of a season, fnal ; appearances have become an impossible drear for some teams, so training can be adjusted t ensure the best chance of winning what grunt remain . Above them, other teams can still mal it to the Finals if they lift their performances notch, or just hang on to their current form . ?lodtf~in training to allow a peak in Aug u doesn't a~virays allow complete control over wh happens once a team gets to the finals . But i better to have made it that far and have Iii problem to overcome, than to have lost t' chance completely. Position, positio n The select few at the top of the table have t opportunity to approach the final weeks of t home and away season with the knowledge tl their perform ances have already been of standard sufficient to plan for an extra mont involvement, even if it mean s a li ttle short-te hardship. That might not mean relaxing, though. It mf mean training harder for a little lo qer ti opposition sides, with the knowledge that t can time their peak to occur a little later. It significant advantage to have . There are so many things that affect a tea success from week to week with form injuries obviously being vital . Add travel (a tri Rupertswood/Peninsula) or home gro advantage - and factors that c an 't be I planned for, such as weather, umpires and crowds - and you can see the ingredients success in football are manv .

.Leos LM : What do you see as St strengths and what players will you be watching out for ? PH : Once they get momentum, they can score very quickly . They also add at least Bird and Burgess from our last meeting . I've liked both games of the skipper McKenzie and Tim McCann as utility players, Ronchi in the ruck, also Buckle . Krebs and Donovan with their drive through the midfield . Vaughan at FF has also been good . LM : What has been your side's strength this year ? PH : We are as good as our last contest and by and large our consistency of effort and approach has been excellent . We need to smarten up (decisions and ball use) to make up ground on St .Leos and ensure we give our forwards an even chance . Our defence has been excellent all year and we will be looking for plenty from them when the heat is on . It appears the Lions know their opposition fairly well and no doubt the Animals would have been working out all week their match ups for the potent Lion forward line of Shura Taft, Brock Mooney & Jono Dixon who usually provide half their side's score . In an evenly fought contest, I will lean with the Animals to keep the wood over their rivals . P RESS CORRESPONDENTS Luke Mahoney lukemahoney 14@hotmaii .co m

The cognoscenti are all commenting on the change in the dynamics of the Finals this year with the reversion to a four weeks programme . The Ist Semi winner is suddenly on a roll because of the week's rest before the Preliminary !

Is1 BEMIS WRAP U P Reserve s Old Mentonians lost to Ban yule after the Bears gained a break in Q1 & steadily built on it in a tightly contested & entertaining match . Greg Bell (Ban) & Matthew Austin (OM) had a terrific duel in the Ruck ; Dave Witchell and Brendan Phelan were prolific on-bailers for the Bears, with Heath "Biffa" McDermott in great form at FF . Rowan Ball starred on his wing for the Panthers, Wes Ballantine stood tall at FF, while Matthew Watts & David Alexander were strong in defence . Seniors University Blacks and Old Mentonians fought out a thriller that remained up for grabs until terminated by the siren . In fact, it was a continuation of their dour R15 encounter when Blacks ground out a narrow victory . This time it was the Panthers' turn to triumph! The 2nd half drifting showers added to the intensity & competitiveness of a game enhanced by the parsimonious use of the whistle by Peter James & Tim Sutcliffe . Blacks badly missed the presence at the ball of Andy Costello, because the Panthers' engine room through McCloskey & Carter provided the drive from stoppages that made the difference, with Murphy & C .Mackay also prominent . Blacks on baller, Bavacqua, never let up, Tony Wilson was an energy charged forward, with Evans and Batten also effective out of

defence or on the ball . 2ND S EMI S Reserves Monash Blues meets AJAX having knocked them off in both their meetings to date by 4 & 48 points respectively. The major difference between the two is that the Ashers possess an ultra stingy defence that has allowed the opposition to score an average of only 39 points per match against it during the H & A . On the scoring side, both tearm are near as damn it as good as each other Since neither side has much benefit froir qualified senior players dropping back, tht principal unknown is the relativ+ resistance to final's pressure . That'; where mean defences come in, and th Ashers should win a top game by 4 goal or so . S eniors Monash Blues and AJAX face off for t h

first chance of promotion to C Section . The Jackets are the only side to beat the Ashers twice this season, in R2 by 34 points and R11 by 39, which may or may not be relevant today, but would at least give the Jackas some sense of comfort . While the Jackas have been the most prolific scorers in the Section this year, as in the Ressies, the Ashers backs are by far and away DI's top stoppers . At Cheltenham, being on top through the middle is even more critical than usual, and what a battle this will be! Monash's Williams, Main, Hickey, & Turton versus the Jackas' Weislitzer, Ritterman . Blieden, & J . Segal will be worth the entrance money alone to witness, let alone having Holloway & Gregory at one end and 1_irzner & Wollner at the other! Watching Tim Powell & Phil Davis's machinations from the boundary will be another highlight, especially how Chessari & Payne are detailed to handle the lethal Jackas' hey forwards . What will be a bummer is if the weather turns pluvial and dampens she brilliance of these two teams' spectacular way of going . I know it's a winter game but it really gives me the boar snorts watching players trying to control a watermelon seed! In such a crucial game success depends on miniscule advantages and I think the Ashers defence will give them enough of those to take out a narrow victory, between two top sides who have both earned the right to challenge for promotion . ir c -l-resgson::ierl t s , the contacts remain 9889 1979 & bfhickey6Cbigpond .co m

A clever on baler, he was a member of the 1999 Reserves Flag team . Hopefully, his excellent form this year will contribute to him being part of a successful side this year, and help offset the memory of last year's one point loss in the Ressies GF !

game cannot be underestimated . This has not been lost on charismatic Fitzroy coach Graham Burgen . 'Whoever comes out of the second semi-final will come out and win (the premiership)," he said .

For Fitzroy, promotion means everything . The club aims to get promoted every second year and while all four of its teams have played finals this year failure to earn promotion would leave the club regarding season 2003 as a failure .

"From a coaching point of view, our club has had a good year but it means nothing if you don't get promoted," Burgen said . "I'd be really disappointed if we don't go up this year. " While Burgen is a coach that wears his heart on his sleeve, Peninsula coach Julian Sill offers a stark contrast . Sill has refused every opportunity to talk up his team and was still very level headed this week . "All we have done is given ourselves an opportunity to play finals," he said . "To draw on the past is not the way I'll approach it . " While Sill believed his side would not be disadvantaged if it rained, he was particularly keen to dispel notions that his side struggled on large ground s "I'd like an opportunity to prove that wrong," he said . "We're a side that likes to run . It'd be nice from our point of view to get a nice dry day ." This game will be close regardless of the conditions . These two sides have shown quite clearly that they are the two best sides in this competition, consistently thrashing their challengers . Fitzroy have the edge in final's experience and the advantage of having the game played in Melbourne . But Peninsula, as their unbeaten record indicates, are an outstanding side and outstanding sides overcome obstacles to win .

TODAY'S MATCHES D2 SECTIO N 2nd SEMI FINAL - August 30, 2003 SE NIORS Central Reserve, Glen Waverley - 2 p .m . Peninsula 0 B versus Fitzroy Reds RESERVES Central Reserve, Glen Waverley - 11 .30 a.m .

Peninsula 0 B versus Old Geelong

Prediction : Peninsula by six points . Reserve s

With their seniors out of action, Old Geelong's training will not have had the same intensity as Peninsula's . But OG has the luxury of being able to pick some of their senior players while Peninsula will field a genuine seconds' side . OG ruckman Michael Verge should know from last year how important this advantage is . Prediction : Old Geelong by 14 points .

Fitzroy Reds - Jim Parsons plays his 50th game for Fitzroy Reds in the second-semi final today. Don't be fooled by the quiet, laconic style of the boy from Daylesford, who spends his days as a stonemason (no less) and Saturdays weaving in and out of opposition backlines and unleashing his trademark helicopters . Well done Jim, all at the Reds look forward to many more courageous games from you in the years to come . Also pacy wingman/half back Jason 'JB' Bennie celebrates his 50th senior game for the Reds today, after playing his 50th club game on the 'G' a few weeks ago . Blessed with rare insight into his body, no-one takes better care of himself than JB, preferring fruit and muesli over bacon and eggs . His explosive runs down the Brunswick Street wing delight the Reds faithful and his ability to run through the lines is a great asset to the team . Congratulations on both milestones, JB, from all at the Reds .

~T'~fflcalth Less than great weather last week put a dampener on what should have been a great spectacle, but it was great to see a hard, aggressive contest anyhow . By the way, don't forget to keep those nominees (email to : theqwzll@hotmail .eom) for D3 Team of the Year coming in . . . . . FIRST SEMI FINAL REVIEW In less than ideal conditions for football at McHale Stadium, South Melbourne Districts made the early breakthrough, scoring the first goal within the first couple of minutes, and in a hard slog, managed to go into the quarter time break leading by nine points .

Rupertswood gained the acendancy in the second quarter, attacking the main scoreboard end with voracity and establishing what turned out to be a match-winning lead, as their 6 .10 half-time score would have been enough to win them the game . By contrast, the Bloods were scoreless in the second quarter . South threatened to come back in the third quarter, but could only manage 1 .5 to Rupo's one straight goal . Goals were definitely hard to come by at the main grandstand end, and the chopped up, muddy condition of the goal square certainly didn't help . In fact, it had to be seen to be believed . Rupo once again asserted themselves in the last quarter with three goals to one, and also, managed some accomplished football along the way. Although it wasn't pretty to watch, and they took a while to adapt, the Sunbury boys did show the capacity to adapt to conditions less than suitable to their ideal football style, and whoever they play next week certainly won't have it easy . In the reserves, Swinburne University prevailed over S t. John's OC in a dour struggle that seemed to resemble a hybrid of rugby and soccer than Aussie Rules. St .

John's managed their only goat shortly

the commencement of the second half, but otherwise it was all Swinny, whose territorial domination went a long way towards their win . 2nd SEMI FINAL PREVIEW This week sees the D3 second semi final being played this Saturday at McHale Stadium, Collingwood, between Swinburne University and Monash Gryphons in the seniors, commencing at 2pm, and Werribee Amateurs and Rupertswood in the reserves, starting at 1 i .30am . Swinburne have clearly been the best team in the competition this year, and apart from a two game slump immediately after the season's half way mark, have not lost a game . Jason Murchie has arguably been the biggest marquee name in the comp, but he is certainly not the only star turn at the Razorbacks . The return of Matthew Higgins paid dividends, and adds an extra dimensio n

to their attack, while Damian Milano is another option the Gryphons need to take into account. Also, let's not forget the influence of the "F Troop" (ruckman Chris Farrington, midfielder Adrian Fidler and halfback Simon Fragiacomo), all of whom can stake reasonable claims to being the best players in their position in the competition . Indeed, the latter two must be amongst the favourite for this season's competition best and fairest, and are sure to be in the running for the D3 Team of the Year . Monash Gryphons enter the fmals in arguably even greater form, having won 10 of their last 11 games, but that one loss was to Swinburne, and indeed they have succumbed to the Razorbacks both times this year by about seven or eight goal margins . First time out, star midfielder Adrian Flowerday was injured in the first quarter and did not play in the second game . His presence will certainly make a difference, though time will tell if it will be enough . Other players to watch for include skipper Steve Bourbon in the middle and half-back Lee Wells, while dashing defender Peter Rutherford is one of the most underrated players in the comp, and ruckman Rowan Coxhead continues his emergence as a top line ruckman at this level . Watch out too, for Matt Malone, who with two dozen goals in his last three matches, is capable of matching Murchie's goalkicking output on his day . As you can see, two terrific teams at the top of their game, very hard to separate on this information . In the end though, I think the fact that the Razorbacks have recorded two dicisive victories over today's opponents is significant enough for me to pick them today, though I shan't think the margin will be as great as previous contests . Swinburne by 15 points .

In the reserves, Werribee face off against Rupertswood . Werribee have been the best side in the twos by some way this season, but Rupo have also had their moments . I feel though that the minor premiers will be too good today. Werribee to win .

Good luck to your club today, and have a great VY~FAucekend . " r}re

i:?onash Gryphons - duo Jon Blandford and Jordan Stratford reach the milestones of 200 games and 10 0 games respectively this week . "JB" becomes the first Gryphon to play 200 games for the club . Winner of the club Best and Fairest back in 1994, Jon is known for his laid back demeanour and exhaustive physical and nutritional program, and well as being one of the most mercurial talents at this level for over the last decade, delighting fans with his high marking and long kicking, and frustrating fans when these kicks go out of bounds . "Stratty" is another country boy nowhere near as flamboyant as JB, but who is also most renowned for his huge kicking . Everyone at the Gryphs wish to congratulate the two of you on your significant milestones. Well done chaps! !

Melbourne's weather was abysmal and our D4 finalists bad to revert to wet weather football . With North Brunswick out of the final's race, the action is sure to intensify this week with a D3 position up for grabs . Review Seniors In the qualifying final, UHS-VU dominated much of the firs t quarter with the majority of the play taking place in the Vulture forward 50. However, the Albert Park defence stood firm with McLellan doing well to restrict the Vultures to four goals for the quarter . After kicking the opener in the second, the students looked set, however, the rain then began to fall, and with that, so did the goals for the Falcons . With a couple of miracle goals from the boundary, Albert Park was able to peg back lead to just three points going into the major break . After half time, with the rain subsiding, the Vultures regained the ascendancy through some good play from Gorringe and Smith to kick away to a two goal lead, however, Borley and Venables for Albert Park continued their good form to see a 3 point margin at three quarter time. In what was a titanic final quarter, the Vultures managed to slot through two late majors, while their defence,'led by Cracknell and assisted by Hams, Thorpe and Wright stood firm against the dangerous Allan to run out deserving 15 point winners . The elimination final, played in atrocious conditions on a wild and wintry Sunday afternoon, was a dour struggle for both St .Marys and North Brunswick . With the pill like a cake of soap, North, through Freeman and Boudoloh, matched the strong Saints to hold a tvro-point lead at the first change. The tough conditions began to take their tell on North however in the second quarter. With the ball getting heavier, the Saint's strength and desperation from the likes of Wright, Stone and McLennan, enabled scoring opportunities for Bernardi and Purcell as the Saints kicked to three-goal lead at half time . The resumption of play saw no respite from the weather, and in driving rain, the Saint's Timmins put through a remarkable soccer goal from 25 metres that broke North's spirit. From then on it was just a matter of how far the Saints as they ran out comfortable 33-point winners. Reserves In a physical Qualifying Final, tJI3S-W overcame a gallant St. 's outfit by 23 points . In a relatively even match, the Saints fought back from a first quarter deficit through some good play from Nick and John Goldsworthy . However, in a close match, some undisciplined frees !rom the Saints allowed the likes of FiTlner, Weber and Fisher to shine, and

a six goal third quar': ensured the v, ;Ti : ould b . ethsudn The Elimination Final between Old Westbourne and Albert Park began just as the rain began to fall, and it was the Warriors, through Slattery and Scholes that seemed to adapt better to the conditions kicking two unanswered goals in the first quarter. However, these were to be the last goals the Warriors would kick for the match as Garcia, Wheeler and Roberton gained the ascendancy to pile on five goals for the second quarter, and effectively end the match . With two goals kicked in the second half thanks to the appalling conditions, both to the Falcons, Albert Park booked a ticket to the semis with a deserved 30 point win . Preview SENIOR 2nd SEi Li3ydsrlo versus S-VU After 19 weeks of competition, the two best teams in D4 this season meet for a spot in D3, and more importantly, direct entry into the 2003 Grand Final . The student's form has been awesome of late, while Mount have been battling injuries and a recent form slump for which the week's break would have done a world of good . The Students have only played the Dales once this season, and in that match at Goat Park, it was the Dales that destroyed the students with a 10-goal win . The students are a different team now, and with the rampant form of Cracknell, Gorringe and Tate they are a real chance . Picking a winner in this match is a difficult task . The week's rest will have helped the Dale's weary legs an d

physiologically being so far on top r-°' takP=r its toll . However, I believe the late season 1<. have been a godsend to overcome this, and it has ev u c d to some D4 pundits suggesting the lads may have been holding back somewhat in these matches . Ultimatelv, if the likes of Carolan, Gibson and Hansford can play at their best, while restricting the goal scoring opportunities for Tate, then it is the Dales for mine in a 16point victory . 1 :- SENH F iNAi. -Alberfi Park versus St .

The Saint week against the students and if F ; repeat their efforts from last week, then ti , 'ilcons . In an extraordinary match in Rou :-d 13 it was Falcons who took the honors while in Round 2 it was the Saints who won convincingly. Ultimately though, I believe it is the Saints who have the greater depth and as such I am going with them to advance to the Prelim with a 17 point ,,in .

- (U19 -1 & Blue) _ (U19-2,3&Red)

Section 1 - Preview s Gentlemen start your engines! This is what playing footy is all about . The jostling for position is over, what's gone before is no longer relevant and the season starts afresh . Now, we wait to find out who is, the best of the best. ST. B E S V UNIVERSITY BLUES 2nd Semi Final U/ 29 S 2 Throughout the season, St . Bernard's and Uni's results demonstrated they were the two best teams, recording a remarkable 33 victories between them . All year the Bernie's have proved an imposing force, and the minor premiers can be justifiably proud of their indomitable campaign . However, little separates these two sides and an undefeated record will be little consolation if they are beaten today. The Students are not without their chances this afternoon, they are well drilled, possess a potent strikeforce, aggressive midfield, and a miserly defensive unit, they also came the closest of anyone toppling the Bernie's, failing by five points in Round 10 . This promises to be a particularly even contest, but when full time is called, St . Bernard's will be a step closer to Premiership glory. OLD SCOTCH V OLD XAVERIANS lst Semi Final U/19 S i One false move and you are out! That is the pitfall confronting the Scotchies and the Xavs. These teams split their tussles during the season, but tellingly, in Rd . 17, the Xavs triumphed by more than a century. The Scotchies have been great for most of the year, but have possibly hit "a wobble" at the worst possible time . In complete contrast, the Xavs . who had struggled for touch, now seem to have rediscovered their groove . Scotchies will seek vengeance and be keen to atone for a fortnight ago, but revenge alone doesn't win games and the Xavs will continue their charge . Section 2 - Preview s The 2003 section two final's series kicks off this Saturday, as minor premiers Wesribee meet Old 1V[elburniaus in the second semi final, at Scammell Reserve . Unbeaten for sixteen weeks, Werribee are the form side of the competition, a dynamic midfield and productive forward line attributable to such success, 1 Having won seventeen from eighteen games in the home and away season, Werribee go into this weekend's match as favourites, McMahon in the ruck and the Russo brothers in the midfield, the key players to watch . Having enjoyed a sensational start to the season, which saw the side top the ladder for several weeks, Old Melburnians' second half of the season was marred by injuries and senior promotion, the club dropping four games from eight in the run towards the finals . However with a full complement back, OM's are confident looking towards this weekend ; over thirty players were on the track during the week pushing for selection . Ultimately the game will be won in the middle, OM's Hindle, Faulkner and Prowse needing to shut down Werribee's productive midfield, who have played a major role in most of the club's victories this year . Head to head the record stands at one win each this season ; OM's home by 5 points in round two, Werribee winners

by 19 in round eleven . Despite the confidence of Ol d Melburnians going into th e game and their brimming list to choose from, Werriqee should get up, but only by a f a goals . In the first semi-final to be pl<~--- ' on Sunday afternoon, Old Camberwell play I . . , the side's second meeting in as many weeks, ha g played one another in round eighteen of the home and away season . A fter an average start this season, Old Camberwell have enjoyed a recent patch of good form, playing well despitt the loss of both their captain, and vice-captain to serious injuries . Peasnell has been prolific up front, a s I has Rogers in the ruck, Old Camberwell leading two-nil in the head-to-head this year, and favourites to make it three from three . Section 3 - Preview s A spot in the grand final is on the line this weekend, as Rupertswood meet Old Carey in the second semi-arnai at Junction Oval . Undefeated for eighteen rounds o' football, it is difficult to fault Rupertswood, a dropper match on a technicality the only blemish in as otherwise flawless season . However, the minor premier run towards the finals has been less than ideal, tlue, games in five weeks, substantially less match practic than what their opponents have enjoyed . With only tw losses for season 2003, Old Carey have enjoyed similarly successful season, spurred on by the go< kicking efforts of their three major forwards, Angw Ashworth and Stewart-Holmes, who all reside in di section's top five goal-kickers list . Averaging twenty-tv, goals a game and only seven against, Old Carey has potentially been the league's best performer ; their on struggle failing to match Rupertswood who lead ti head-to-head two-nil . Old Carey have the potential reverse this trend, providing their forwards fire, and an upset, Old Carey to inflict Rupertswood's first loss the season, and book a place in the grand final . The season is on the line for Collegians and Ther Penola, who battle it out in a knockout semi-final, if Sunday at Junction Oval . Both sides have had interrupted run towards the finals, Therry havi played the bottom two sides in the final two rounc while Collegians spent an extra week on the track lt round, courtesy of an inconveniently timed b~ Entering their first final's series Collegians will be eat to make an impact, as will Therry who will faney th chances against either Rupertswood or Old Carey in I preliminary final, having given both a run for th money earlier in the season . Collegians boast impressive list, while Therry are the in form side, ant another section three upset, Therry to get up . U19 Blue Section - Preview s OAKLEIGH V ST.JOHN'S 2nd Semi Final U/29 Bin The K's fully deserve their minor premier status has fallen in just one outing in 2003 . The JOC's too, h been equally impressive, only stumbling (twice) aga the Krushers . The feature of the previous encoun

)etween these sides has been the enormous spirit in xitich the games have been played, both teams are well ;oaehed, skilled with their liberal sprinkling of star ,,,째rformers and will be driven by a hunger to appear in 1'he Big One . This week, only one can advance, and Ilat will be Oakleigh . St, BEDE'S MENTONE TIGERS V OAKI .EIGH CLAYS Ist Semi Final U119 Blue 1 he Claymen shrugged off some recent indifferent form to post a much needed and morale boosting victory that hould give them some confidence to continue their season beyond today . The Tigers who spent much of the ,eason firmly ensconced in the top two will be ,lisappointed to be participating in the knockout final . -Iowever, they must now forget all about lost opportunities and what "could have been's째 and focus on this match . Both teams have kicked some heavv scores this season and this game could well end in a ,hootout . If it comes to that . I will tip the team that ~ulished second, in points scored . . . . .the Tigers . U19 Red Section - Previews meet the Minor premiers Banyule-Viewbank University Blacks this Saturday, in the Section Red second semi-final at Garvey Oval . Undefeated for the entire home and away season, Banyule have maintained their flawless record despite the serious loss of numbers :nidseason, with players missing a patch of games due to senior promotion, suspension, injury, illness and school football commitments . This weekend however, 3anyule will be nearing their full complement, and will take on a spirited University outfit in a match that will ultimately be won up forward . Having kicked seventy=even goals in only sixteen matches, not always playing : :clusively at full-forward, James Tsingaris will hold th e for Banvule today, as will the Bears' potent midfield, vho have been instrumental in setting up big home and lway victories. However, Ban}ltle must contend with a notent University forward line . Moffat, Brooks an d ),owsley all featuring prominently in the section's goal} 3 l:icking table. 3anyule lead the head-to-head two-nil this season, and its hard to fault a side that is yet to even come close to . loss . Two wins away from the flag, Banyule shoul d 0 look a spot in the grand final on Saturday, University iikely to be strong, but not strong enough to take the .onours . ~e tn Section Red's other semi-final, a spot in the ;o ,~reliminary final is on offer, as Fitzroy meet La Trobe ,n ?niversity at Garvey Oval . With a full List to choose of `om, but still with limited numbers, Fitzroy are takin g .lie low-key approach into this week's final, noting both tie size and talent of their opposition . However, this is =omething coach Tim Bell believes can be countered sith the Reds' overall skill, the side having enjoyed an tnpressive second half of the season, to finish with !hirteen wins from eighteen games . Optimistic at the

prospect of a preliminary final, La Trobe coach Zoran Colovic admits the Red's full-forward Maghamez must be nullified, his eleven goals last week bringing his tally to 97 for the season . Stressing for his boys just to go out and enjoy what thev ve created, Colovic believes his side can topple the Reds, providing newly-named best and fairest winner Uiph fires in the nlidfield, and Clark . Scott and Walker all put in commendable performances . La Trobe lost to Fitzroy last time they met, but were depleted at the time as the match fell during school holidavs, and look a chance to reverse this trend on Sunday . However the key will lie with Maghamez ; If La Trobe manages to restrain him to single figures, they should get up .
