Un-o:cunateig the dramas with abandoned c-_~, or the possibility of such, continued l ;ut week when the four teams (and the umpires) drawn to play at a venue last Sunday all creed that the ground, on arrival, was unfit to play on . We believe that there are threu ; ;_3 of ensuring that this never happei except in the situation of match day o : currences outside anyone's control . The three things that should be done are : ._ _~. As requested at the Coaches' Night (2004) someone from each club drawn to play a - ground should inspect the ground the day before, or sometime well before the match andt i raise any concerns there and then so that the matters can be addressed . To leave the m to the day of the match causes much angst and ill-feeling . This wasn't done last week it ~~i `~~~ ~ seems, and we are asking all clubs to do this for this weekend's matches and beyond . CHIEF EXECVI'NE . cz. The club hosting the final also should be giving the matter of the ground's suitability OFFICE R S i , utmost attention. Should the host club see any potential problem, again the VAFA should be alerted well before the match. ': ::drddy. The VAFA itself could have arranged for the venue to be inspected to determine any problems and declare it all clear. This hasn't been done in the past but we will be asking our duty officers to carry out this function in the in i ure .

Hopefully by such an approach we will avert the situations that occurred last weekend . In conclusion thanks to all involved who thoughtfully and rationally worked through the situation which saw the games played and decided on ,he day they were scheduled .

A couple of weeks ago I tendered my ra ;ti, a as Chief Executive O tfi o e r . of 'ScTaggart . Bruce has written a very nice tribute below for which I am appreciative the VAFA to president Bruce . I won't take up valuable spac e , in outlining my reasons for my decision - I will write more on this next week . For today however, I would like In, t you to either - today's "For The Love of the Game" column : the VAFA web page (ww w.vafa.asn .au) or the page (v vs₏e•sportspe op?.e.com) for an advertisement for one of the most wonderful sports administration rions a person could hope for . More next week. ::vens 11ef Executive A Sect ) II ral day - 19 September 2004- will see the end of a very significant era in the history of the VAFA - the last day of Phil Stevens' tenure as CEO of the Association .

Phil gave up a promising career as a VAFA coach (of Old Haileybury) to take up the position of General Manager when Peter French departed in 1989, and has served the Association in admirable fashion since that time .

It came as somewhat of a surprise when Phil advised a few weeks ago that he had decided to accept an offer to head a newly formed company involved in risk management and the assessment of sporting venues . We are most disappointed to see Phil leave, and appreciate that it will be extremely difficult to find a replacement who will bring to the position of CEO the enthusiasm for amateur football and capacity for hard work that has been Phil' s

ENT, VAFA

trademark . However, we accept that Phil has the expertise and endeavor to succeed in the world outside the VAFA, and we wish him every success in his new position . We wonder how he will in fact manage to fill in his weekends during th e

months - perhaps supporting his beloved Cats . He will always ~lcome at any VAFA match . ky from all involved in amateur football for your er the past 16 years, and our best wishes for success in endeavors .

VAFA MAJOR SPONSO R

watching nutted o For Haileybury, De La, OMs, Whitefriars and Xavs , darts players in last Saturday was a mere prelude to Mad Monday London pubs) I don't celebrations . However, two absolute doozies took reckon I've ever seen place which very much shape the way today's finals a team which plays with more intensity line up . . They The first half of Marcellin's clash with Bernards and commitment than this Marcellin side ; Cullinan is an absolute star was hell for leather stuff . It was inevitable that one aren't all hot air either side would crack in a game played at that ferocity (though he needs his kicking boots on this week) and surprisingly it was Marcellin who looked and the on ballers are ferocious . Yes they've lost four mentally and physically spent in the second half . in a row and look shaky but I just don't reckon Without a doubt Nick Mitchell was the man of the Trinity are up to it . Both clubs have a large hour, knocking up a million possessions and kicking supporter base so it could be a pretty emotional day, three clever goals . Watching Nick, you are somehow Marcellin by 5 goals. reminded of the character Boxer in George Orwell's 2nd Semi Final Animal Farm . who was carted off to the knackery OK, let's assume that Tim Harvey plays for Box Hill when his body and mind caved in after years of and Dan Jordan and Danny Byrne rock up to . Bernards were in the same selfless toil . Mitchell has more bandages on him Sportscover Arena than a facelift recipient and sometimes looks as position in round 3 and just fell short, albeit with big though he can barely move but he's canny, uses his Dan stitched up by Jim Hayter . Later on, Uni body well and has a knack of bobbing up in big thumped them at the Snakepit, though Bernards games . He'll be a real impact player in the coming fielded a skeleton team that day which bears little resemblance to the team that will run out today . three weeks .

How about that Lachie Kennedy?! Halfway through Having said that, I have a bit of a theory about this ; certain teams simply do the last quarter of their crunch game against Be La, top four which runs thus Trinity looked to have once again blown it. Suddenly not match up well against others (apparently Plato's . Marcellin seem to 200 gamer and A ll Aus captain Ramsden began to calling for my notes on that one) play like a man possessed, Cultrera kept buzzing play well against Trinity and Uni but not against about up front and Lachie converted from two big Bernards . Bernards have got everyone covered bar grabs to orchestrate an improbable comeback . Big Uni, who do their homework well and know how to call but De La simply don't look fit enough. It's cut out the Bernies' star studded, if volatile forward . unusual to say that about a De La team but their line . Uni, just, but the story's far from finished lack of body size and run in the legs has proved telling in several of their second half fade outs .

Scotch won the "we Invented The Bloody Game" Memorial Cup of course, Gerstman won the goal kicking but it all went the way of the pear when the Trinity result filtered through. Good team, they may CLL 71'1; t have even won it had they snuck in, but all they can A SECTION do now is work on their suntans .

6 61 Cullinan Marcellin What to make of Trinity? Are they any bleediri good?

3 50 Walsh One thing's few sure, their top six is probably better Old Trinity 5 47 Cultrera than anyone else . Problem is, Trinity have a few Old Trinitv guys at the lower end of the spectrum who maybe A RESERVE 6 44 Close aren't up to it . Conversely, Marcellin are a pretty St Bernards 42 Millard 4 even spread and boy do they give their all .

Having played in our victorious '99 Div 1 U 19's grand final, he then went one better and was awarded the Jock Nelson medal for his BOG performance in our 2001 A grade premiership .

A classy on-baller / flanker who's in and under skills are a strength and his ability to deliver with precision, Leigh has gone on to be a very important player in make up of the Eagles line up, and we all wish him success not only this week but for the next 100 games as well , St.Bernard's - one of our favourite sons and greatest ever players Danny Byrne put in another stellar performance in his 100th game for the Club .

Along the way he has become an All Australian, Victorian representative, Best & Fairest winner and a member of our 2002 A grade premiership team, where he won the Jock Nelson medal for best on ground .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2004 7

To Andrew Mullcit, Tim Bergin, Andy Ryan, Dean Arnel, Tim Smith, and Ron Buller, I sincerely thank you for your input into the column this year, I could not write it without your assistance and I look forward to renewing acquaintances again next year.

REVIEW Six wins in a row and secure hold on third position was a great way for Old Ivanhoe to finish the season . Old Essendon were pretty inaccurate early and certainly had their chances, but the Hoers then stepped up a gear and honed their skills in a finals warm up .

It was an entertaining game of footy at Oak Street with Beauy as to be expected came out very physical in an attempt to pass a firing shot at the Lions . Co ll egians just had the better of a tight first half and then blew the game apart with a 9 goal to 1 third quarter, as they moved the ball well with their forward line clicking into action . The last quarter was still a spirited affair as the Sharks just kept trying .

Perhaps the two most disappointing sides of the section in Old Brighton and NOBS met at the Gillen on Saturday .

With nothing to play for it may have been hard to get motivated . But not the Old Brighton boys, they came out in a positive mode and set the score on the board early and came away with the points to finish in 5th position .

Toby Ewart set it up for them in the ruck, allowing regulars Leigh Hendra, Phelan and the Gadsden's to get plenty of it . Matty Jackson also played his part with 3 handy goals .

St Bedes M entone Tigers hit with the flu virus put in a terrific effort to be still in front at 3/4 time in the big match at Sportscover . But then unfortunately the weight of numbers took it's toll in the last as the SNOBS hit their straps and bounced back from last week's flat spot to win the game and gain a physiological advantage over a fellow finals aspirant.

Old Paradians at least finished their season on a high note with a convincing victory over Mazenod who were perhaps a bit tired and flat after the big previous 5 weeks .

How the OPS must rue not having Glen Porteous on the paddock all year as more often than not when he is there they win .

PREVIEW. Well now we start . Bring it on .

sides. Whoever gets o top here can set up their midfielders to constantly drive the ball into attack .

The Hoers have won both encounters thi s season and that should give them plenty of confidence and belief that they can defy the law of averages and win again .

With a tight defence and more scoring options up forward I feel secure enough to tip them to win, but warn them not to underestimate any side coached by Russell Barnes .

SECOND SENII FINAL - SATURDAY (S RTSCO R ARENA) A win each is the scenario that greets St Kevins and Collegians as they battle for promotion and the right to be the first side into the 2004 Grand Final at Sportscover Arena today. Two very evenly matched sides with a healthy respect for each other makes it on paper promise to be a titanic struggle . Both go into the game pretty close to full strength so a fine spectacle is sure to await us, let's hope the weather is kind .

Again it will be won or lost in the midfield where Fields and Keenan take on Dixon and Co . Some excellent players spread through the lines on both sides with the class of Lucas, Dollman, O'Connor, Garvey, Brady and Rombotis matched against the courage and determination of Harrison, Hosking, Davidson, Mooney, Holst and Waters .

I have maintained all year that St Kevins have the best list in the Section, but have not always been able to put a full game together and to win a final this must be able to happen, and despite the best efforts of the Pat Hawkins inspired Lions I'm tipping SKOBS to win and return to A Section in 2005.

In the Reserves I will go for NOBS and Old Brighton.

PRESS CORRESPONDENTS As I will be Duty Officer at Sandringham this weekend I will not see a B Section Game so I rely on you all now for a detailed ? .latch Report including Reserves . Please

GIllon Reserve hosts the First Semi Final between Old Ivanhoe and St Bedes Mentone -Tigers . Should be a terrific game . The Hoers came home with a wet sail to get into third position and offer a major challenge to those above them . The Tigers can be well pleased to have made the finals in only their second year in B Section and will be looking to take that extra step today . The game will be won in the middle where the battle between James Hope and David Napier will be crucial to the fortunes of both

;LBO IT E -"I~OOK ~ In the ,e - Part a It is that time of year when 'the cream rises to the top', the men are sorted from the boys' and 'you are only as good as your next game'.

It is also a time when it is important to talk about your peak performances to date because this is what teams are trying to achieve week in and week out . Its also important to examine some of the universal characteristics of those best performances .

This way you will have more control and awareness about these peak performances and they won't seem as mysterious as they once might have.

In the flow, in a groove, on a roll, in the zone - whatever you can it, it's all defining one thing . It's that special feeling of playing like you can do no wrong and everything goes your way . You are so involved in what you are doing that nothing else seems to matter because you are so connected to your task . Unfortunately, these peak performances don't seem to happen often enough . In fact, every time it does happen, it is usually by chance, it just happened to be a day when everything fell into place, clicked for you, and you got a taste of what it's like to be in the zone . It's kind of like getting a taste of the good life. Hopefully this occurrence will motivate you to do everything you can to have more peak performances.

By implementing mental training skills and working effectively as a team . you can increase the chances of this transpiring on a more consistent basis and you will be able to be in the zone as one harmonious unit . Being in the zone means doing more than anyone else thought possible, even superseding your own expectations at times . This zone is the definitive reason why many people are motivated to participate in sports .

You have no memory of the past and no qualms about the future; you are here now . The only thing you are concentrating on is the task at hand . You are oblivious to everything else going on around you, consumed by the moment . Like a child playing with their toys, you are so absorbed in the moment that nothing outside can effect you. You have no real sense of time, and before you know it, the game is over . The game seems to have flown by, and at the same time, everything you did seemed to happen in a sloweddown pace with great precision and concentration . Having the

"Your Coaches' Association " ability to stay in the moment is a gift that all of peak performers have.

Effortless : Things just sort of happen with little or no effort whatsoever. All your moves are smooth and for that time, your sport seems like the easiest thing in the world . You are in a state of mind and body where you can accomplish great things with little effort . Your mind and body are working with one another in perfect unison . The grace and ease that you display make everything you do seem like the simplest task in the world . You have a sense of finesse and grace, even when the task is very gruelling and demanding . That sort of connectedness and moment of greatness is an awesome thing to both witness and take part in.

Automatic: There is no interference from your thoughts or emotions. Things are just happening, both without protest and without consent. You are on autopilot - just reacting to whatever comes your way . Your body just seems to know what to do without any directive from you . There is no conscious thought involved ; you're going strictly on your instincts . If you think less, you will achieve more .

Fun: When you're in the flow, the enjoyment is incomparable to anything else. You feel like when you were a kid enjoying your sport with pure and innocent delight . Anyone can see in your eyes the satisfaction and fulfilment the sport gives you . You feel like your sport is giving you back something that you can't get from anyone or anything else . This is a key factor because if you don't enjoy your sport, your future in it will be limited .

In Control: You feel that no matter what, you are in control . What you think and want to happen will. You have ultimate command over vour emotions as well - you are controlling them, not the other way around . When you are in control, you are in charge .

You govern your own destiny. When you feel this strong of a command over your game, great things are sure to happen . The authority is yours, and no one else's .

Success in sports requires both your mind and your body and as an athlete it is very important to have a clear mental picture of what it is you are striving for . By taking some time to think about peak performances you have had in the past, it can aid you in making sure they happen more often!

Caulfield's dreams of B Grade football became a reality, when they outlasted an inaccurate Unicorns side, who must now confront the never say die Ashers, who produced a mighty final quarter blitz, to suck the life from the Vultures campaign .

REVIEW 2ND SEMI FINAL On a glorious late winter afternoon, it was the Fielders who leapt out of the stalls and fired the first salvos to take the early ascendancy against MHSOB . However, the initial barrage appeared to be the kickstart the Unicorns needed, as from there, the minor premiers began to assert their authority and despite some missed opportunities, held a seven point buffer at the first change .

As the cliche goes, bad kicking is bad footy and the Highs could have had the game stitched up at the main interval, had their 20 scoring shots resulted in more than six large . The second half opened with both teams missing a raft of goal chances and it was only when Brett Sinclair, Liddell and Gross goaled, the Fields had the victory scent in the nostrils . The Highs late goal cut the margin to eight and hopes were high for a thrilling final quarter shootout .

It didn't eventuate, as Caulfield's Andrew Sinclair bagged a couple in the opening minutes and the lead became too great to counter for MHSOB . The vanquished although beaten, will take solace from their 31 scoring shots to 24 and the continued good form of Thompson Cassell and McCully .

t' r e quarters , t As he _ enjoyed the lion share of t `posein,bu could not find the avenue to goal . At the final change, Monash coach Jon Edgar reminded his charges of their pre season orienteering training programme and suddenly Smith and Gregory found their compasses and the 22 point - time deficit was quickly eroded . Dixon and O'Meara had been tireless for the Vultures, but suddenly the free-scoring posse of Parkdale targets were silenced by the desperate and resolute Asher defence, led by Janssen, Renton and Farrar . Parkdale will wonder how this one slipped by, but full credit to Monash, who persisted, harassed and pressured their opponents and are now within a victory of successive Grand Final playoffs .

We are extremely lucky to secure some excellent venues (outside the VAFA) for the conduct of our finals . Some of these clubs have s ocial facilities which their members patronise during the conduct of our finals .

Fair enough. All we ask these clubs is that they make their members aware of the Amateur rules in relation to consumption of alcohol and these clubs do it very well and members stay inside the premises during matches . It is hoped tha t VAFA attendees at matches do not enter these facilities until after the day's football, but if they do they make a decision to stay inside for the day. We certainly don't want the situation of people having imbibed coming in and out all day long.

00 A Richard Immediate past president Evans has asked for this piece to be published in FTLOTG this week . "For the first time for a few years I acted as Duty Officer at one of our finals venues last Saturday .

It was disappointing to say the least to confront the same issues that were prevalent those few years ago .

Spectators jumping fences in order to avoid paying admission fees and arguing over the cost of admission .

Over the course of the finals series the Association nets something like $40$45,000 .

It is part of the Associations' general revenue, serves to keep affiliation fees to a minimum and in so doing ensures ALL our clubs are beneficiaries .

When you complain about paying to be admitted to our finals, or attempt to jump the fence so as not to pay at all, I ask how much has it cost you to go to our home and away games this year? $10 .00? $5 .00?

Or would NOTHING be closer to the mark?

If you don't want to be charged admission to our finals the answer is simple .

In preparing our budget we will allow for free admission to finals BUT increase affiliation fees by the above amount to cover the shortfall in revenue spread over 72 clubs .

If your club plays in three finals the total admission cost to you will be $30 .00 (which includes 3 football records) .

Spread over the 21 matches of the season this equates to $1 .42 per week -an amount which is somewhat difficult to complain about and which I strongly suggest is the least costly of all the major football bodies in this state .

Given all our revenues, and all our profits are shared by all our clubs I find it incredulous that some people go to such lengths to shortchange our Association .

I guess it all comes down to how much you want to be part of us . " 0 0 0 The collapse of VAFA goal umpire Michael Lee during the Reserve Section 1st Semi Final between U .H .S .-V.U . last Sunday was a pretty frightening experience for all concerned . Th is unfortunate incident sparked a magnificent response from both clubs' trainers and officials . UHS-VU trainer Rebecca Hurley was superb in collaborating with the ambulance service and overseeing the attention that Michael required to stabilise him . The support given by St . John's trainer Graham McEachern and supporter Danny was invaluable .

The co-operation of the team managers, coaches and players is to be commended .

This unavoidable delay in such an important game for both clubs was unsettling to all, however the overriding concern was for the health of umpire Michael Lee .

The spirit and camaraderie of Amateur Foot ball is Indeed alive an d well .

Q

VAFA staffer Matthew Nyhus must have thought the date last Friday week was the 13th . Matt was involved in a minor traffic accident on the way to work last Friday week . Thankfully no damage to Matt, only a bit of a scare and a few scrapes on the car . Although maybe he ran over a black cat, because the next day he drove to work (last Monday) Matt had a flat tyre! In the tradition of had luck running in threes, what do you reckon happened next? Last Tuesday Matt ran out of petrol driving to work .

Matt, all excuses for arriving late to work have been used up .

A fabulous two days of football last weekend, great on his wing . Blacks weather, four very high standard matches, good attendances, drama at the MeHale on Saturday weren't telling me anything, just in when Blair Moxon (Banyule) was convulsively concussed as weli as breaking a collar bone ! case I betrayed their confidence! !

In the end the result the standard of all umpiring at all games could hinged on a decision not to rush a behind by the hardly be bettered!

Reds had fan tastic then threaded through a left foot, right to left games from Ben Atherton on his wing who sparked swinging banana kick for a goal, Banyule must the Q4 revival, Chris Meighen continued feeding have known it was going to be very hard day! Add other Reds from the Ruck in spite of bad cramps to that the Blacks' long, accurate foot passing, throughout Q4, and Phil Cianci was a dynamic presence up forward resolute defence, and marking strength all over, . The Monds' Simon Keheler and you have one very classy act! Blacks continued had an extraordinary game on his HBF, Mick their tendency of commending defenders, and while Miller's dazzling speed and bullet like disposal s totally agreeing that Messrs Rawnsley, Batten, & Barry played exemplary games Anthony, I als o think the work of Sibitia, Billela and Andy Costello round the ground or up forward was plain amazing .

So, for that matter, were the other 18 who wore the Black and Blue that day . The Bears remained competitive to the end and the efforts of Captain DI SECTION Luke O'Connell up forward, Dave Gayfer down back, and BIG Dave Williams in the Ruck were Yarra Valley Keem 0 62 out-,an ding .

I think the Reds' joy at Place Phillip Miller (B) Dennis Webster Chris Doyle (G ) surviving in the Seniors match proved too much, and I heard no news of this game .

PRELIMINARIES : SUNDAY, Box Hill City Oval SENIORS : Banyule v Fitzroy Red s Today will be a test of how effectively Greg Whitcroft and Graham Burgen have got their respective units to recover from last week's games .

In Greg's case it will be a rebuilding of confidence task after a loss against a top side ; while Graham's will be more a physical restoration of the enormous energy expended in the 1st Semi . Both sides possess a lot of talent but differently distributed, the Bears big strength being their attack, while the Reds have showed they have the most efficient defence in D i this year. In what will be a spectacular game and in doubt to the very end, because of their higher scoring ability, I think the Bears will be a few points ahead at the final siren .

And what is the Confidence Level of that brave prediction? I have not the faintest idea !

RESERVES : Ormond v Old Mentonian s Looking at their respective performances this season, nobody in their right mind could pick the Panthers to beat the Monds in this match . Being unsound in wind and limb inevitably impacts on one's mental stability, and since my Panthers friends berate me for never picking them, I do so now, in an absolute boilover, by a point! There you go Norm, I've just handed you the Scribes top tipper title! !

The Panthers' hopes for xt week will hinge significantly on the return oi these players, and overcoming the perception of a"Central Park Curse ."

In Sunday's ffirst, sern4-x째inal at the same venue.

Ivanhoe Assumption kept up with Old Geelong for the first three quarters, before succumbing by a margin of 35 points. The Hoes managed to create opportunities despite kicking into a stiff northerly . but missed a number of set shots, before Valkanis opened their account in the 18-minute mark . In fact, it was the Ogs who were the more dominant, using the breeze well to lead by 20 points at quarter time . Ivanhoe commenced the second quarter in the best possible fashion, scoring a goal inside the first 30 seconds . In he mean-time, the Ablettesque figure of Vickers-i!(is ,~ moved from full-forward :~~e touch, having been to an on-ball rcl,well held by '' t'ck Lee . The second term was more a{ , .

Lee and Vickerss resumed their epic battle until Lee injured hi s le . By this time, the Hyphen was starting to ose himself strongly on the game . Old Geelong - a 21 point lead into the final change, and, afte r early, mostly squandered, chances by th e seized control of the game midway through in to put the game out of Ivanhoe's reach, i that man Vickers-Willis playing a major part, two goals for the quarter .

Is week's preliminary is Old Carey i n w Sags; er iosi its past two finals - both of which they at -ted a warm favourite in - the monkeV on Ofld Carey's back is starting to get a grip on the Panthers' throat. And if they lose to Old Geelong today then the term "choker' will be bandied around more often than they would like . However OGs coach Michael Lockman, who still has immense respect for the Panthers despite their loss last weekend, rejected that term . "I think its drawing a bit of a long bow to say they're chokers, "

Lockman said . "As to whether they're psychologically scarred by it, it's hard to say ." "We know Old Carey will bounce back super hard this 2nd SE3; 7I FIN! week," Lockman said . "They don't spend the whole OLD CAREY 1 .4 5 .5 7 .8 10 .11 (71) season on top of the ladder for no reason ."

Old Xaverians gave the doubters something to think abou rtwhenyldsaiteconmfal,vrde leaders Old Melburnians, from the second quarter onwards . The Xavs' quality forwards in Matt Bourke (5) .

Dan Richardson (4) and Adam Jones (4) plus Bowen, Cranage and Stoney were excellent for the Red and Blacks . Roberts, Topakis, Pirouet, Kennedy, L Bunn and S Theodore were the OM's best . Final score - OX 21 .7 to OM 14 .5 . OM's may have some work to do to earn another crack at the mighty Xavs!

On a wet Saturday, the B Section second semi result went the way of Old Trinity who held on 8 .14 to MHSOB 7 .11 .

Stickland's 4 goals for OT were very telling and he joined C Phillips, Hatfield, Sutcliffe, Stephens and L Kennedy among his team's best . Limbrick, McIntyre, Gerner, Fairchild, Thompson and Simpson were the High's best .

In the C Section second semi, Old Mentonians were in control at half time against Whitefriars, responded to an excellent third term by the 'Friars and consolidated in the final quarter to run out 17 .13 to 13 .7 winners in the bleak conditions . Mentonians' key players Acreman (7), Bournan and Solley were at their best along with Ballantine, Kuramoto and Stephen . Bateman, Carrig, Phan, Pawlik . Robinson (4) and Eames never stopped trying for Whitefriars .

Barry Hickey's comprehensive D Grade preliminary final report told of the slippery conditions at Box Hill and yet some scintillating skills by both Monash Blues and AJAX. Monash started well and held a handy lead under the circumstances of 9 points at quarter time and maintained it for the main break . Julian Smith and Liam Holloway had been exceptional for the Blues in the first half . After half time Marty Halpen, Phil Goldberg and David Marks lifted the ratio around the packs and by the final break . the Jackas had hit the front and were looking good . With the ball rebounding from the respective half back lines it appeared to be going down to the wire but a flurry of goals from David Marks, Michael Rajch and David Kalinski sealed the Jackas promotion to C Section in 2000 and a chance for another premiership . 15 .15 to 12 .5 looked a comfortable win but it had been a very hard fought and entertaining game .

In E Section (Blue) it was a watershed victory for Peninsula Old Boys as they won the prelim final and the right to finally play off in a grand final after much frustration in previous seasons . Their 12 .16 to 11 .14 victory at the expense of Oakleigh had not been without its moments of concern when a 7 goals lead at half time was almost frittered away. In E Section (4klhite) La Trobe Uni stormed to the lead over West Brunswick and finished 16.12 to 9 .13 .

Albert Park's 'gun forward', Nick Pantazopoulos, booted 9 goals to take his tally to 123 as his team thrashed Old Westbourne in the F Section second semi 17 .17 to 9 .8 .

McLellan also kicked 5 but the club insisted it had been a

great team effort .

In U19 football the top section revealed the Xav's great depth of talent in the second semi as their juniors kicked 24.20 to Uni Blues' 13.8. Always ----- interesting to see who o f the prominent players would go on to bicr, : r and b , er things within the VAFA . Xavs named their best - Allen (9), Funder, Skidmore, Callinan, Oswald (7) and Galbally . The Blues - Ryall (6) . Anderson, Chamberlain, Fulton, Saunders, N McKerrow.

Secti on 2 (prelim final)- Old Haileybury 9.13 beat Old Melburnians 10.4 . Best (OH) - Smith, Wright, Brandham, Hilton, Pfeiffer, Ferguson . (OM's) - Barker, Edmund, Righetti, Bryant, Wilson, Marson .

Section (Blue) - In the second semi Hampton Rovers 23 .15 beat Caulfield Grammarians 6 .8 . Best (HR) -Kelly, Duddy, Marasco (9), Gardiner, Willmot, Deal . (Caul) Deal, Goddard, Dalwood, Widjaja, Evans, P edham .

The Old Melburnians earned their first A Seaion _: --1d final appearance in 33 years when they defeated Collegians in the second semi-final, 14 .19 to 12 .8 . The OM's came back from a 5 goals deficit at quarter time and their best were Bromell, Bryan, Webb, O'Brien, Susa and Handbury . Collegians were well served by Laussen, Schober (4), Bennett, Phillips . Harrison and Davidson .

B Section scribe, David "Dutch_y" Holland, reported on a sensational game in the B Section second semi . Old Trinity defeated Mazenod after a tremendous contest but were fortunate their 4 .12 in first quarter did not prove costly. In the final winning score-line of 17 .23 to 18 .14 the better players were Stickland (6), Alibon, Seuling, Norman, Vanderhoek, Sutcliffe (Trinity) and Noble (4), Murray, Belleville, Morgan, Lane and Polan (Mazenod) .

In C Section St Kilda/South Caulfield finished Old Geelong's season in the preliminary final, 14 .21 to 12 .11 .

Both of the sections leading sharpshooters, Bergman (StK) and Howells (OGGS) were keys to this game and Bergman's 6 goals certainly made the difference in the result and took him to 86 for the season.

The D Section prelim enabled St Kevins to secure a place in C section in 1995 as they completely overwhelmed Old Camberwell, 15 .20 to 8 .11 . Best were Brady, Fraser (7), Gross, Terzini, Chapman, Mulcahy (SKOBS) and Taylor, Hetherington, Kyriacou . Morris, Kerklviet, Ewart (OC) .

The 'J N Woodrow Medal' for the A Section best player went to 23 year old Matthew MeConvill (Ormond) and was presented by Ted Campbell, grandson of the late John Newton Woodrow . The 'J Fullerton Medal' for the best player in E Section was a three way tie and all three were great stalwarts for their clubs - Gerrard Halpin (Glenhuntly), Mark Koppens (St Johns) and Adrian Tirchett (North Brunswick) .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2004

Collegians were confident they had Lie opportunity to move into the Grand Final when they faced Ormond in the second semi at Elsternwick Park. Ormond had the better of the first quarter with the breeze but Collegians bettered their effort in the second term and held a 2 goal lead at half time. Ormond were fantastic in the third with their running half backs and never allowed the Wesley boys back into the contest in the final term to run out winners 13.6 to 8 .12 . Paul Cox, Gilmore, McCooke, Jobling (4), Paul McDonald and Russell were strong and fearless for the 'Monds. Collegians were best served by Wright, Berzens, Pollock . Williams, Wallace and Galbraith who were all great goers all day.

Therry beat the more fancied De La Salle in the B Section second semi 16.12 to 14 .13 . M Crotty (3), Wrigglesworth, Bosanko (3), O'Rourke, Reddick and Ramsay provided the run to counter the D's who relied mainly on Mullins, Tully (5), Wright, Campbell and Knuppe l A high scoring game in the C Section second semi saw ladder leaders and highly fancied favourites, Old Haileybury, soundly beaten by a determined Banyule with a straight line approach at the footy. Old Haileybury's lack of discipline early in the game made their job even harder and the final score of 24.14 to 16.18 was a great performance by the Bears. Saunders, Holt . Turnbull, Adams, Gilbert and Big Dave Williams were outstanding for the winners. ~--- _ -- - --J In the top section it was a i'ari~a=U .e game at headquart ers when Ormond an d De La Salle met in the second semi . De La start ed in great fashion ,:,7th Mick Greene . Shane Murphy, Mark Lowe and David Harrington all impacting on the 6 goal lead at half time . When Ormond powerhouse, Phil Mehrt en went to full forward in the third quarter a ch ange came over the game and set the scene for a great last quarter as the Moods increased the pressure with Andrew Mehrten, Garry Burke and Russell Barnes s trong contributors . Despite drawing level twice in the final term, Ormond were held at bay by the superb De La defence . 17.10 to 16 .11 in De La's favour mean t the winners would play in their sixth grand fi nal in eight years . Best for De La, Lowe ( 6), Murphy (4), Greene, Harrington, Czerkaski, Connolly. For Ormond Burke, A Mehrten ( 3), Barnes, Ritchie, McAsey, Beard.

The C Section preliminary final was also decided by less than a goal as the contest be tween St Kevins an d Old B ri ghton see-sawed with SKOBS taking the early advantage . B ri ghton looked to have the game in its keeping with a 25 point lead at three quarter time but SKOBS fought back magnificently in the last, hit the front with less than a minute remaining only to see the Tonners goal again to earn promotion to B Grade 12 .18 to 12 .14 .

Best for Old B righton - Cameron. Andrew Grant (4), Peter Grant, Clarkson, King and Wilson . For SKOBS - Callanan, Beale, Olle, Robson, Quinton and Simmons .

Popular umpire Colin Wills umpired his 200th game after 11 seasons with the VAFAUA . He had umpired grand finals in grades A to D and he had earlier received the coveted life membership award from the umpires' association .

The A Section second semi was a real thriller as Ormond held on by a point over arch District rivals Coburg, 19 .10 to 18 .15 . Best for Ormond, Ladd (7), Cameron, Russ, Adrian Graham and the highly skilled Alan Graham, also a successful State representative . Hughes, Handley, Wharfe, Phil Cleary (6) and Leckie were Coburg's best . Phil Rowell was in charge as central umpire and Ken Jorgenson was the emergency . Boundary riders were Hindle and Pritchett with Wilson and Piazas in the goals .

Best and Fairest winners in the lower grades were M Mullet (Old Camberwell) in D Section, R Roulston (AMP Society) in E, D Cowling (La Trobe Reds) in F and B Driscoll (Junior 1) from the Power House Club .

Two very young teams met in the A Section second semi, Old Paradians and Old Xaverians, respective average ages, 22 .2 and 21 .5, played at the South Melbourne Cricket Ground . Oldest player on the field, John Booth (OP) was a mere 28 (no one over 23 in the Xavs team) .

Caldwell, Evans . For Cassie, Constance (3), Lolatgis .

Burke, Jackamos, Papadatos, Lucas .

Report from Old Melburnians' scribe after their win over Uni Blacks in the second semi . "A paralysing third quarter burst turned last week's win into a one horse race . The only interest in the last quarter was a spectacular brawl between soccer players, supporters, umpires and police on the next door oval" . There was a brief report on the game from the OM's camp - Ken Rollason kicked and marked superbly at centre half back . Murray "Dirty Dick Raines" Mitchell was indefatigable. Brian Miller was rugged and successfully dogged all day. (Dick Raines was a well known professional wrestler of the time ) One of the main advertisers in 'Me Amateur Footballer' was former Collingwood Champion Ron Todd, mine host at the Hotel Pacific in Lorne .

Vifflcalth A couple of great finals games, played in great I Fi . ~t Send -Inal spirit and in wonderful conditions . Fantastic Very close result with Uni High serving it up start to the finals campaign! to their more fancied rivals in St Johns an d Review .

Second Semi Final having a chance to pinch it late in the game The two big guns rolled out as O eigh met The reality was though that the Jocs would have Rupertswood . had only themselves to blame with poor kicking As usual, a frenetic start to the game with the almost costing them dearly (9 points straight in . Due reward however for the Krushers taking the early ascendancy . Some poor the last quarter) kicking cost them dearly as the Rupo running Jocs . They have seen a gradual changing of the game began to kick into gear . Krushers went to guards in recent times with the likes of Arnold, the first break in front, however a challenge was Phaedonos, Diaz and Courmadias representing . both the current day and future stars of the club . being mounted Goal for goal in the second stanza as both sides Defeat in finals never rests easily however Uni . They were one side settled into a routine . Quigley was starring on his High certainly gave their all wing for Rupo whilst Hogan was doing a fine that never played above themselves nor did they Matthew Larkin impression in the middle for the throw in many shockers . There best on the day . included Rose, Smith, Hams and Tate with three Krushers . All but tied up at the main break The third quarter proved to be the decisive goals . period . Although reasonably well held, McKenzie Previe w broke clear for about ten minutes, kicking one Prelimanary Final and helping set a couple up to get the KrushersThe cut throat stuff continues ! on their way. The clever and dangerou s Rupert swood will need to confront their ghosts Whitehead Whitehead was also proving a handful at his end of last year as they try to avoid the straight sets of the ground but the bal l wasn't getting down exit from the finals series . This may well add to there enough . The Krushers went to the last break with almost a match winning lead .

An early goal sparked thoughts of a revival for Rupo however these were soon snuffed out as the Krushers struck back . They certainly didn't EST Clii TOT. '_ cruise to the line however the sting had gone from CLUB the game .

D3 SECTION Best for the Krushers were Hogan (BOG for UHS-VU Tate째 3 67 mine), strong men Britt and Furnell and Horbury` 2 63 St Johns acknowledged stars in A .Kitts and Captain Oakleigh Mackenzie* 3 61 Bromley . They were also well served by Briggs Rupertswood ftitehead째 4 5 9 who kicked four goals, coming off the bench . For D3 RESERVE Rupo, Spinner, Whitehead, Quigley and Hewitt Forbes 0 56 UHS-VU were their best .

Henderson Ea 0 46 South Melb Dist Great win but not one that demonstrated clearly Phillips` 2 39 Rupertswood that the GF would be a cakewalk . The Krushers Oakleigh Videky 0 31 would also be aware of the returning Potter? *includes finals goals

the pressure, a fact that canny Coach West will no doubt overcome .

St Johns have been on a considerable roll for awhile now. Whilst it took time to gel, the mixture of old and young is really starting to pay dividends. They are also very similar to Rupo in that they are very even across the board . This means that no reliance on any one player is required .

Once again, the games in the home and away have been split along home game advantage .

Rupo gave the visiting Jocs a touch up early in the year. Potter was the star that day with 7 goals . St Johns returned the favour, registering a five goal win later on in the year .

Rupo were hurt in clearances last week and with the figure of Jocs ruck star Koppens looming, might struggle to improve on that area this week .

I also like the fact that Phaedonos is returning to the form of early in the year. This takes the pressure off Horbury, who can concentrate on being the ever present threat rather than needing to be the match winner .

For Rupo, a fair bit will depend on Potter (if available) and Whitehead. Potter has potential match winner written all over him and will be closely watched . Whitehead is a class act, give him an inch and he will take a mile . Powell, Hatty and Spinner have also been great all year and I fancy they will need to be on top of their game this week.

I have chopped and changed about five times during the writing of this report . Can the Jocs guns prevail or will the evenness of Rupo win out? Not sure at all but fancy the Jocs might need another year together whilst Rupo will be keen to avenge last years defeat . Rupo, but just !

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 20( 40

by Leah Gallagher & Steve McCarthy Finals time! The Grand final It arrived last week, we were bathed in brunch looks t o fantastic conditions in which the be booked ou t footballers could showcase their skills . but keep alert just in case some people The grass was cut, the sun was out (an pull out and an opportunity arises . absolute contrast from a fortnight earlier) and the pressure and pace were on . The question is, did the field umpires bounce or throw up to kick off the finals campaign? This week sees both A and B sections join in the festivities, what will happen in two or three weeks time will be up to each individual, but there will be some interest to see if Jeremy Heffernan's predictions are as spot on as Benny's .

Promotion s

With finals starting there were still opportunities for umpires to gain promotion in the last week of the home and away rounds . Up into B grade for the first time were field umpires Grant Joyner and Dave Phillips, both came to the amateurs this year and have umpired really well to get as high as they have done . Great effort, guys .

Dates to remember : S e p t e m b e r 16th final training run and pub run, September 19th A grade grand final BBQ and band night .

Quote of t he wee k "I'm King of the whites" by Dash Peiris (field umpire) please hope he was talking about washing!! !

Names Common thread with names in a recent A grade game, we had two Craig's and two Michael's running around . Unfortunately the names of the two fieldies were Chuck and Leah, common thread here were that they are both Swans supporters .

Firing

Welcome back to A grade Rob Mayston (2005 VAFAUA President) for the last game of the year .

A sensational effort by rookie umpire Jamie Gunn at a recent midweek game . Gunny arrived at Box Hill North to run the boundary in an international game between Japan and Vietnam . Unfortunately he was the only boundary umpire there, so he did the right thing and ran on both wings .

Obviously Jason's training regime is paying off for Gunny . He umpired his first final last weekend .

Socially

Thank yo u

With finals now on in all sections, please keep your ears and eyes open as to where our group will be gathering with regards to any after-match functions during this finals' series .

From Anthony Damen and Steve McCarthy to the Old Xaverians and St .Bernards Football Clubs respectively for their kind gestures last Saturday . They'll know what we mean .

Goal umpire Michael O'Donnell earned a final spot in A grade and also umpired very well last week, proving that Shane has plenty of talent to draw on in the coming years .

Congratulations to Westbourne on winning promotion to D3 . It is a much-deserved result for a team that has lead the way in the competition this season .

Review 2nd Semi Final It was a match that lived up to expectations as Old Westbourne overcame their finals' demons to register a historic win for the club and gain promotion into D3 .

As predicted the match was very close for the first three quarters in temperatures that were unusually hot for late August . After an even first quarter, Kew lifted their work rate to dominate much of the second quarter and showed why they have been the premiership favorites for the season . However, the pressure applied by the Westbourne defenders, and in particular Duncan "Farmer" Benn was immense, which restricted Kew and saw them go into the major break two points in arrears . With the match in the balanee . Westbourne slowly regained the ascendancy in the third quarter, however Kew continued to harass and with Looker and Allen both playing well, it was going to come down to who had the greater stamina going-into the final quarter. Enter stage right, Micky Baulch for Westbourne . The outer of Bill Lawrie Oval was simply in awe of the great man as he racked up no fewer than 15 effective disposals to drive a stake through the hearts of the Browns faithful . His constant drive combined with the brilliance of Mick Christo who was on top all day, made the Warriors unstoppable . Holding Kew goalless, Westbourne piled on 7 goals to book a ticket to the big dance with a resounding 47-point victory . lst Semi Final It was a match of two halves, as the more highly fancied Bull een were knocked off by St .R2azys to reverse the results during the home and away rounds .

The Cobras went into the final quarter five points ahead thanks to McLaren. Mullinger and Dall'Ogllo all playing well, however, the Saints were not going to go down without a fight. And fight they did as their midfield dominated with Wright, Purcell and Armstrong brilliant . In a tough and physical match the Saints were much slicker under the pressure cooker situation of the final quarter and finished off their work whereas Bulleen failed to capitalise on their forays forward . This sent the Saints hill into raptures and as their chargers grew in confidence . The stunned Cobras had no answers, as they exited the 2004 season with a 13-point defeat.

Reserves lst and 2nd Semi Final s In the 2nd Semi, Kew took control of the game early being more physical at the ball with their centre line in control and their half backline dominant . While some great efforts from Matt Whelan, Peter Clarke, Ray

42

Bravington and Steve Currie kept t :e Wiekers in the game . it was not to be as they went down by 27 points .

In the lst Semi, Ol d Westbourne made it a clean sweep with a convincing win against a slow starting St . Marys team . A more fitter and focused Warrior line up started brilliantly with Crosswell the stand out player setting up multiple goals and kicking a few himself . Ultimately, the early lead set by the Warriors was too much to peg back, and while the Saints outscored their opponents in the final quarter, it was not to be as Westboume advanced to the preliminary final with a 16-point win .

Preliminary Final Preview SENIORS Kew v St . Marys On analysing the match today it is difficult to determine which side will start favorites given both teams recent form and similar style of play. In their two meetings this season, the latest of which was some two months ago . Kew has taken the honors in both, however this will hold little sway today given the Saints great form into the finals.

Both sides rely on their tall marking players to set up their play and given both teams strength in this area it will be an interesting tussle should the conditions suit . Expect the Saints however, to modify their style somewhat today to perhaps resemble the Warrior running game that has proven so successful against the flag favorites in recent weeks . Picking a winner is virtually a toss of a coin . Kew has the credentials and personnel, but do they have the desire? This question will be well and truly tested today . I have been sayin g

for some weeks now though that should the Saints face off with Kew in a final, they will win it . As such, I am sticking with this premise and going with St .Marys to meet Westbourne in the 2004 Grand Final with a 3point win .

RESERVES Elsternwick v Old Westbourn e Elsternwick were not at their best last week against Kew, however, enter today's match against an undermanned Warrior outfit as firm favorites .

Westbourne has selection difficulties given their senior team's progression into the Grand Final, while Elsternwick has a strengthened list given their Seniors early departure.

Expect today's match will be a battle of the forwards with Hankin at one end and the three pronged attack of Moore . Crosswell and Manolokakis at the other all expected to kick a bag. In picking a winner though, I will have to stick with the odds and while it will be disappointing to the Warrior's legendary captain Slattery in his 100th match, I am going with the Wickers to advance for a rematch with the Browns after a 34 point win .

Old Westbourne - Reserves captain Daniel Slattery plays his 100th game today . Slatts is a much-adored clubman who is tireless to the cause whether it is on the field or on the track. Slatts has won a Reserves Best and Fairest and has been on the club Committee. while regularly organising the end of year footy trip .

Well respected amongst opposition clubs Slatts has one goal to achieve - that coveted flag !

St . Marys - congratulations to Saints ruckman Ben Graetzer on reaching his 50th game in last week's semi final . The athletic "Benny G" cuts a mean move on the dance floor as well as on the ground . He has developed over the last 2 seasons and has fought hard to gain the mantle as the No . 1 big man in the side . If he continues to improve at this rate, he will be awesome for the Saints for years to come, Finally St.Mary's Andy Zsembery celebrated his 100 game for the club today . If courage came in small sizes than this guy fits the bill . "The Nose" has pace to burn, and whether its minding a small forward or creating a spark up fonvard, he does not let his size get in the way when the pill is nearby . All the best from all at St Marvs .

Team of the Year If any readers want to make a nomination for the team of the year, please do so by midday on Monday to gavan .flower@spotless .com .au The team will be announced next week in the Grand Final edition of the Amateur Footballer .

I was at the finals match between Old Geelong and Ivanhoe Assumption on Sunday and there was an incident where a player from Old Geelong was seriously hurt . The player was injured in a clash of heads . The work of the trainers from both sides was great to see and the doctor who was watching the game and followed Ivanhoe was very quick to respond to the incident .

The doctor took control of the situation with the trainers taking up the support roles and following their training to the letter. Calling an ambulance and then passing the phone to the doctor whom relayed the medical update on the injured player.

They then made sure the area around the player was free and clear of any danger and then at the direction of the doctor removed the player from the ground to a position for easy access for the ambulance to arrive and transport the player to hospital .

The way in which the trainers conducted themselves gave me great satisfaction to know that the VAFA and the VAFA Trainers' Association is on the right track and we can only improve from here on in.

There is another story in this issue's "For The Love of the Game" column about the superb action of clubs looking after an ill goal umpire at another match .

Disappointed to learn that a VAFA duty officer had to order from the field a trainer who was wearing a correct top (good), jeans, leather street shoes but with a green skivvy under his top. One bad example has unfortunately given all the trainers a bad name . Please allow me to report on an "all clear" report card next week . The VAFA umpires and duty officers have been asked to be extra diligent this week in this regard .

Remember that a trainer ordered off cannot be replaced! The club must be one short for the rest of the match .

I was very sad to hear that Phil Stevens will be leaving the VAFA at the end of this season because without Phil's guidance and persistence the VAFA Trainers' Association would not have got off the ground and we would not have such a strong voice within the VAFA family as we now have . All the best Phil and we will all miss your guidance and the time you have given us.We will now take the challenge to grow even stronger and more vocal within the VAFA on medical issues that affect both ourselves and our players .

I have only received two nominations so far for August and September's Trainers of the Month . If we are to award the last two months awards we need more nominations . Don't forget the email chrisklg@bigpond .com so get those nominations in by Thursday 2nd September .

SECTION ONE Review - Semi Final s 2nd Semi Final Despite having spent just three weeks on top of the section one ladder. De La Salle will play off for the JS McCann Cup in a week's time after an emphatic 71 point win over St Kevins last Saturday . Exploding out of the blocks De La put St Kevins on the back foot from the opening siren, a six goal to one first term all but ending SKOB's afternoon . De La forward Keely continued his run of good form kicking six majors, while Davis and Vague for the winners and Gullifer for the losers were amongst the best .

1st Semi Fina l Werribee flirted with elimination but managed to hold off Old Xaverians in last Sunday's thrilling first semi final . With less than a kick in it for most of the afternoon, Werribee's inaccuracy proved costly in the opening half, going to the long break with twice as many scoring shots but just a 14 point lead . Managing to hold sway for the remainder of the match, Werribee ran out with a nailbiting sixteen point victory . As Xavs players head out to enjoy the revelry of 'Mad Monday', the entire club must be commended on making their eighteenth consecutive section one finals series .

Preview - Preliminary Final St Kevins will be aiming for their first win in three attempts against Werribee this season when the sides play off in this afternoon's all-important preliminary final . Once premiership favourites, Werribee have dropped three of their last five, last weekend's win crucial in both remaining in the hunt and lifting morale. St Kevins suffered greatly from injuries last weekend and will be hoping a number of players are fit by the opening siren this afternoon. Still to come within ten goals of Werribee in both their encounters this season. SKOB's will struggle to shut down McNally up front who has been a focal point in the forward line all season . Renault should continue to tear up the wing, while Ballan at half-back and Miller on the ball will be crucial in determining the result ; Werribee by 11 pts .

SECTION 2 2nd semi- final In near perfect conditions out at Essendon Grammar, the top two sides slugged it out for the first three quarters in a tight contest . However, once the final quarter started, the Lions bore their teeth to take control of proceedings . The Rupertswood faithful will be worried about the nature of their capitulation (i.e another last term fade-out) . A 13 goal final quarter showed the gulf in fitness between these two sides .

Beside the usual suspects of Monzell, Phillips (33 possessions) and Gaunt in the middle, with Baddeley running off half-back, Rupo had few winners around the ground . The Lions found Ashman and Parrent effective in the forward line, and they finished with 5 goals apiece . This was cream on top of the work further up the field by Mutton, Slayter and Moon, lst semi final The same gods that smiled on Beatty during the week forgot to do anything about the Welters on Saturday, as they established a match winning lead with a brutal 8 goal to nothing first term . This put the Sharks on the back foot but, 48

(U191 & Red) to their credit, they hit back well to gain ascendancy in th e second term and trim the half time lead to 28 points . Old Camberwell continued to moved the ball well into attack, and converted brilliantly to keep the Sharks at bay in the third term . Payne and Tolson chimed in with 3 snags each and by the final change, their accuracy had ensured a comfortable 39 point buffer. Beauy piled on 5 goals 5, but needed to kick straighter to stay alive . Kudos go to Messrs Ghys, Bleisner and Boreham, who worked hard to keep the Sharks' season afloat .

Prelimin ary Final And then there were three . . . . . . with Old Camberwell making harder work of dispatching Beaumaris than I initially expected, Rupertswood are a genuine chance of regrouping and booking a fourth date with the Lions . I see this as a battle of contrasting styles with Camberwell's height and size being pitted against the midfield run and skill of Rupo . If the weather holds out, I'm leaning towards the Wellers, but only just . Old Camberwell by 5 points.

SECTION 3 2nd semi-final Well, I was a touch off the mark in the preview for this one, and the Friars reckon Carey set the tone pretty early in the first quarter attacking the ball with a lot more purpose . They peppered the goals early and could have opened up a substantial lead but wasted some of their chances . Still the Friars were struggling up forward and only strung together bits and pieces of good play, and trailed by 6 goals at the main break . Carey punished the Friars for missing early chances and kicked away in the 3rd quarter to lead by 12 goals at the last change . The whole last quarter was junk time . Carey's prime movers were Laing, Niven and Stucco, whilst, on a disappointing Friar day, Abdallah was courageous around the packs, and defenders Aj Adgemis, Luke Kaldor and Rowan Martinson never gave up.

1st semi final Both the Blacks and the Raiders found the windy conditions difficult to handle, but the Parade boys shot straighter in front of goals to register a workmanlike win . This was a very physical game, resulting in some fantastic passages of football. Peck was critical up front, nailing 8 goals whilst Bell potted 4 for the Blacks. In the second half Raiders withstood the Blacks' charge and certainly looked the better side in the finish. So it's farewell to the Blacks who looked so good early in the season, with Shaw, Ault and Lynch putting in good performances.

Preliminary Final Talk about a tough call here . Spinner and Daly have been great to me all year, and their sides have produced some ripper performances. Whitefriars really let me down last week, and I'm conscious of Parade's list being strengthened as players return from senior duties. I think Nick Crowe may need to take Peck, but Parade have other options up forward - maybe too many for Whitefriars to cover. Therefore, I'll pick the Raiders to march into the GF, by 23 points .

Section Blue 2nd semi-final Well the Demons certainly put paid to any suggestions they wouldn't be focused, putting the game out of the Pirates' reach by halfway through the second quarter. A late rally by Peninsula may have given them hope for this week, but the Bentleigh boys were irresistible, and could afford to take foot off the pedal. Six Demons kicked multiple goals, and some were from the midfield rotation. Not much joy for the Pirates, who really didn't have many winners all day, despite credible performances from Preston, Wignall and Barron . With the lies of Dewar, Sinko and Wyld on song, the Demons have called for the engraver 2 weeks early . let semi-final A see-sawing encounter saw the JOCs home with a wet sail in the last quarter, running over the Swans to a 16 point victory .

Ryan and Peake slotted 4 big ones each, and some were critical in the final stanza . The Swans performed well to grab 4th spot, but couldn't quite push on with the job, despite Batchelor Goujon and Adgemis (4 goals) producing when it counted .

Preliminary final The big question is how Peninsula will recover from last weeks' hiding. The JOCs proved me wrong and have their tails up. They have plenty of scoring options, but so do Peninsula (it's just that Bentleigh denied them the pill all day!!!) . I've stuck firmly with Peninsula all season, and now is not the time to walk the plank.

Peninsula to earn a 2nd crack by 17 points .

SECTION RED Review - Semi Finals 2nd Semi Final Fitzroy maintained their flawless form into the finals' series, downing La Trobe in a spirited game last weekend by 41 points. The closest any side has been to Fitzroy at the final change . La Trobe found themselves just 3 points shy of the minor premiers and within reach of a major upset . However a seven goal to one last term set up Fitzroy's nineteenth win of the season, Maghamez instrumental upfront with eleven majors with Bombarci, Zika and Greenwood amongst the best.

1st Semi Final A fiery encounter transpired out at Chelsworth last Sunday with five players reported in Old Westbourne's 33 point win over Rupertswood . Despite having more of the ball in the opening half Ropy failed to take advantage of chances, inaccuracy upfront keeping fourth-placed Westbourne in the game. After the break it was Westbourne that came out firing, a four goal to one premiership term setting up what transpired into a comfortable victory . Whiting bagged five for the winners and Cravino three, with Ymer, Hudson and Dunn amongst the best.

Preview - Preliminary Final An early kick off this Sunday for La Trobe and Old Westboume, as they vie for a spot in next weekend's grand final against the unbeaten Fitzroy. One each this season, Westbourne were comprehensively humiliated in the opening round by La Trobe, their full time score of 0 .2.2 in a 138 point thumping still the lowest by any side this season. However Westboume bounced back with a nineteen point win in round ten finishing the season on a high and even coming close to knocking off Fitzroy . It's a game that could go either way, La Trobe by 12 pts .

F. 1ÂŽ The FIDA season has now come too a close, with our two Grand Finals having been played last weekend .

In our Division 2 Grand Final Parkside took on Maribyrnong . In the first couple of minutes Maribyrnong jumped out of the barriers to an early lead and consolidating their authority on the game to take a 39-point lead into quarter time . After the quarter time break Parkside come out and through everything they had Maribyrnong with very little reward . Parkside kicked 1 .1 to to Maribyrnong 3 .3, and by this stage the game looked over . After half time Parkside never stopped trying, but Maribyrnong were to strong running out winners 15 .14 .104 to Parkside 1 .6 .12 . In a game where the scores didn't reflect how close the actual game was .

In the Division 1 Grand Final Port Colts played Ballam Park, which was expected to

60

. A.

be a pretty close game considering the good form Port Colts have been in . In a physical game Baliam Park like Maribyrnong in the other game flew out and showed their authority in the first getting out to a early 21 point lead . In the second quarter Port Colts started a fightback, just before the half time siren Ballam Park sneaked a goal in to keep their 21 point advantage in tacked . In second half Ballam Park come out and slammed on 5 goals to 1 to run out winners 9 .11 .65 . to Port Colts 2 .2 .14 .

Congratulations to all teams this year in very successful year of FIDA football .

Reminders RSVP for the presentation night and make sure you get back to Matt Nyhus with any extra people that would like to attend . The cost for paying guests will be $40 per head .
