R SPORTSCOVE VAFA MAJOR SPONSO R "Riddle me this", said a man given to leapin g about in green suits "but is A Grade a case o f three standout teams and raffle the rest?" After the sheer debacle of last year' s predictions, I somewhat meekly give you my pre season ladder . . . 1 . Old Xavs This time last year, Travis Ruyg was judging bikini contests with all the hungover backpackers at the West London Wildcats . The gun on baller is back from the Old Dart, along with premiership players Tim Clarke and James Scanlan, as he chases his first Premiership medallion after a ball breaking ten GF losses throughout his career . James McDonnell (overseas) and James Hawkins (retired) are gone but with Anthony McDonald and Adrian Cox slotting in and Ryan Colbert, Tristan Purss (both from the bush) and Justin Arnold (DVFL) rounding things out in the recruiting stakes, I reckon they might just be a good thing . Mortgage the house . 2 . Uni Blues Surely not, you mutter. Well yes, Uni did rewrite all the rules last year. They were streets ahead of any other team, their reserves had a percentage that resembled an IBF round at Muirfield Village, they had the best coach (Kanis) the umpires' MVP (Gleeson) and the Hoi Polloi's MVP (Young). But Young has been snapped up by the VFL and maybe they're due for some misfortune on the injury front . They're clearly the benchmark but it'll be tougher at the top this year . They regain three star players from years past in Liam Ryan, Rob Wilkie and Andrew Henderson and say goodbye to Messrs Nailon, Brooke, Penny, Roydhouse and Guengerich (all defenders significantly) . 3 . Old Scotc h

"5% better in 2004" was the theme at Scotc h

last year but unfortunately it seemed as if 95% of its list wer e

either nursing an ailment or kicking back at the chalet . Like Xavs, they stormed home in the second half of the season and they may have really shaken things up had they snuck into the finals . And when you add Andrew Pugsley (Collingwood, Box Hill) and Luke Hawkins (Bendigo Bombers) to a forward line spearheaded by James Gertsman, everything begins to make sense . Danger team . 4 . Old Trinity Trinity really gave it a nudge last year and only an avalanche of goals from St Bernards' !. Dan Jordan denied them a grand final spot . : Alistair Neville being snapped up by Box Hill will leave a huge hole across half back but they remain a solid, if unglamorous side . Should be thereabouts . 5 . St Kevin s

Not long ago, SKOBS were the glamour team of the VAFA with a young list bristling with talent, guided by the most successful coach in the history of the comp . Without warning, everything went the way of the pear . A good coach, better luck with injuries and shrwed recruiting has seen them climb back to where they belong but the jury is still very much out. Still, McKee and Garlick are pretty handy acquisitions and they could well be the knockout team. Their only loss of note is John Rombotis, who has teamed up with John Newcombe and actor Grant Dodwell to coach up Caroline Springs way .

6 . Marcellin Bernie Dinneen, the heart and soul of Marcellin and probably their best ever player, has jumped ship and will play for Vermont this year which is a bit like Sir Lawrence

FOOTBALLER

2Q05

balance still of -~ ., youth and experience to ge t over the line . Two of th e returnees clash out at Park Orchards . T1. coming off a tough year that Welcome back to Whitefriars, De La Salle, and F riars are riddled with injury, while the Fields despi MHSOB after 1 year absences and Caulfield the Grand Final loss earned promotion .

Well the summer has gone and here we are back at the coalface ready and primed for another season of VAFA Football . In what has been a somewhat long pre-season, game time is now finally upon us and all the hopes and aspirations for the season go on line today .

Grammarians make a welcome return to B Grade after a long hiatus . PREVIEW. De La Salle welcomes North Old Boys to the expanses of Malvern . Both sides have kept

things pretty close to the chest over the summer with the signing of Simon MintonConnell an obvious plus for the NOBS . If they can get the ball down to him often enough then they have to be some sort of chance . Both clubs have lost a few but De La blooded a lot of young players in the highest section last year and it could be their experience from that that gets them over the line today . Old Essendon make the long trek across town to tackle Old Bri ghton at the Beach Road Oval . Without any shadow of a doubt both were the disappointments of the 2004 season and would be disappointed with their results . Both have new Coaches in Greg McLoughlin and ex VFL star in David Calthorpe and will be looking for a good start to the new season . Believe the practise match form of the Tonners has been pretty good and that combined with the huge home ground advantage should see them over the line .

change of coach in January would not ha helped the cause, but Stevie Wright is proven performer and brings plenty to it club . Whitefriars possibly lost more games home last year than in the club's history ai will be looking to remedy that througho 2005 . It is still an awesome advantage an( think they will win and make the Fields retu an unhappy one . Unfurling the flag in front of a large eror makes it a big day for MHSOB . The drums e beating fairly strongly for the side in t Brown and White from out in the Nor Practise match form is excellent and a loss extra time in the last game they played mat them my nominal flag favourite .

SPORTS BOOK S "Your Coaches' Association" U19 Coach : Results or Development

So as an U19 coach have you sat down with your Senior Coach or Director of Coaching and discussed the pathway and strategies for the development of your group this season . If not, why not ? For example have you discussed when and if possible U19 players will be trialed in the Senior team in 2005 .

Today (46) U19 coaches will begin their seasons with one thing in mind a premiership - or will they? More recently the emphasis at U19 level in the VAFA has been that of development as opposed to premierships .

Forty three clubs will provide U19 football opportunities for young men, with Old Scotch, Rupertswood and De La Salle fielding second U19 teams, in 2005 - not all will be successful in terms of winning the premiership, but how you define success will go a long way to defining how successful your team is . Is a premiership the be all and end all, or is your measure of success having (x) amount of players exposed to senior football across the season, or simply fielding a competitive team each week? If you haven't addressed this question yet with yourself and your players (collectively and individually) - your planning is behind for season 2005 .

Take the time to set realistic goals for your team both collectively and individually, for one player it may be to play (x) amount of senior games, for another it maybe learning how to play key position, and another to cement a regular spot in your U19 team, while from a team perspective it may well be to make the four, win all of your games at home or simply to be competitive each week - whatever the goals make them achievable and re-assess during the season, review and revisit . Goals give the team focus throughout and give you the ability to remind your team, and individual players, of their own commitment and focus for the season . While every one of the five sections will see teams compete weekly and at the end of the home and away season some twenty clubs will compete for the ultimate prize of a premiership, along the way there will be trials and tribulations, injuries, joy, exhilaration, thrashings and every bit of raw energy will be expended, but for what. U19 team placings do not influence where senior teams are graded in the VAFA . The VAFA U19 competition is an investment for the future of VAFA clubs . U19 teams give clubs access to not only a group of players with which the future can be built on-field, but also off-field . Future club administrators, volunteers and support staff can also flow from the group of raw boned and enthusiastic individuals at your finger tips . They are a valuable resource, treat them as such . 12

Trialing U19 players in the seniors has many positive effects (and I'm talking about those players physically and mentally ready for the rigors of senior football), (i) the players will begin to appreciate their own worth in their future at the club, give them their first opportunity to play senior football and not many future quality players forget that experience - INVESTMENT, (ii) by providing an opportunity for the players at senior level, you are saying to the U19 players who may be a year or two off playing senior football that opportunities exist at your club to play in the Seniors - the pinnacle at every VAFA clubs whether A or D4 section - OPPORTUNITY and (iii) their youthful exuberance will challenge the senior players in the team, enthusiasm is infectious, competition for spots is a challenge and when challenged regular senior players raise their efforts, increasing their output and such their worth to the team - CHALLENGING .

Promoting U19 players into the senior team also needs to be timed well . Robbing an U19 team of key players can decimate a side at underage level, a non-competitive side decreases player and team confidence and when this drops the reverse of the above (3) positives begins to surface and U19 teams suffer . There is no perfect recipe for success in promoting U19 players, many factors come into the equation from maturity (physically & mentally) of the players, to the timing of the match and opposition in which he player is to be promoted - but rest assured by doing so the long-term benefits far outweigh any negatives . In conclusion we are asking all U19 coaches : have you set your goals for the coming season, or are you taking it a week at a time, because failing to plan is preparing to fail, and good development coaches are well planned and will continue to reap the fruits of their labors for many years to come . All the very best for the coming season to you all may you all achieve your goals . Brett Connel l GENERAL MANAGER-FOOTBALL OPERATIONS Leve12 Coach 1

It's been 217 days since the last C Grade recruiting and th e game was played in anger and after yet return from another all conquering summer by our Aussie overseas of som e cricketing heroes, it's great to finally return to of their talente d the real action and have the footy back . players will hold The HJ Stewart Cup is again up for grabs and them in good stead . the 2005 season shapes up as the most Therry know if they can get their best team competitive of all of the amateur sections . The on the paddock, the lads from Oak Park will rewards for a successful year are plentiful be more than competitive . with promotion earning a berth in prestigious With an unavailable home ground, Ajax were B Grade, whilst relegation sees a club spiral the traveling gypsies of 2004 . Having flirted into the murkier waters of Dl . with relegation, they will be difficult Two sides that recently waded through the tcounerwhtypuheirbodsnth e shadows of D1 and into the light of C Grade, line and get their running game together. are the all conquering undefeated Uni Blacks side of '04 and their fellow Grand Final combatants, the Banyule Bears . Both will be keen to continue their forward push for higher honours . Beaumaris and Old Paradians return to C Grade hostilities and no doubt each team will be eager to follow the lead of last year's premiers, MHSOB, who slipped down in '04, but regrouped quickly, to have the briefest of stays . The new lineups will not have it all their own way, as six of 2004's C grade clubs also look to earn themselves a Grand Final placing .

PREVIEW Without form to assist, Round 1 selections are always a bit of a lottery and in most instances ; the final decision was made on the fall of the coin . Therry host Uni Blacks and whilst Oak Park has tripped up marry visiting teams, it won't deny a team that won 20 consecutive games in 2004 .

Monash Blues lead the marauding pack and following their preliminary final loss to the Unicorns, will be looking to go one better in '05 .

Banyule make the long trek to Gerry Green and the visitors who are notoriously slow starters, will be the Vultures first victim . Beaumaris have a difficult first up assignment against the Blues and the Students who always play their home ground well, should win .

The Parkdale Vultures who had been very impressive for much of last season lost their way in the elimination final and will be keen to atone .

Hampton welcomes the Jackas as they did in the corresponding fixture last season . As on that occasion, it was victory to the Rovers and should again be so today.

Old Camberwell made a late surge for finals' glory, only to fall a little short and will be hoping to cement a finals spot a little earlier this time around . Hampton Rovers also pushed for September action, but last year's nine nine win loss record was not enough . Solid off-season

The Wellers an d Paradians complete the round and this may be the game of the week . OC had many close matches last year and this may be another where they just come out ahead .

\TEUR FOOTBALLER 2005

Congratulations w former University Blues player Richie Vandenberg (right) who was announced the captain of the Hawthorn Football Club in 2005 . A hard, aggressive and pacy in i d f i e 1 d e r, Vandenberg ha s played 102 AFL matches and booted 48 goals since being recruited from University Blues at No . 78 in 1997 AFL National Draft . The former Wentworth (NSW) boy, while studying at Melbourne University, played 47 games with the Blues from 1995-97 . During his time at University Blues his talent was identified by the VAFA as he was selected in U18 and U19 representative teams in 1995 which played against the Oakleigh Chargers and Eastern Ranges in the Pura Milk Challenge Series and later that year against the VFA. Vandenberg joins other notable VAFA players to have gone on to captain VFL/AFL teams including Dr . Donald Cordner (University Blacks - Melbourne), Gary Dempsey (FITOB Footscray), John Kennedy (Teachers' College - Hawthorn), David Parkin (MHSOB Hawthorn), Ross Smith (Hampton Rovers St . Kilda) and Neil Roberts (MHSOB - St . Kilda) .

0 v 0 Melbourne has had a sensational start to the season and two former VAFA players have been leading lights . Cameron Bruce (MHSOB) an d James McDonald (Old Xavs) were the best two in the Dees victory on Friday night over Geelong . This follows Bruce's BOG efforts in the first two matches . Maybe the retirement of Dr Don Cordner, VAFA's last Brownlow Medallist, could coincide with the next VAFA winner of the coveted award . 0 ® 0 VAFA congratulates former St Bede's player and VAFA umpire Brad Hodge on his selections on the recent tour of New Zealand and the upcoming Ashes tour of England . Brad began as a boundary umpire when just 15 years of age and Brian "Benny" Goodman remembers Hodge as a "fresh faced, enthusiastic young lad" . How things have changed !

His book PLAYERS is described as "an unsettling familiar portrait of the relationship between sport, celebrity and media, searing a look at the mayhem that ensues when bug reputations and even bigger money, are on the line" .

The threefold welcome to D1 for 2005 ; to the Vasilopoulos, & 6 Clubs who survived the rigours of the Simon Wood ! Section action in 2004 ; to Bullen- Glen Eira i s Templestowe & Old Carey, whose promotion determined t o continues their rivalry from last year ; and to regain C level Emmaus St Leos & Glen Eira, rebuilding status for 2006, and may have a slight edge from not such flash years in 2004 . For Gle over the Old Carey Kindergartners at this nEira,t'sbe40ynchirlas t stage . The homes ide to win by a few points . appearance in this section! And finishing Ormond v Aquinas with a little known fact, this scribe ha s never written about Emmaus in a season in The Moods are quietly confident of being which they did not win the Senior Flag!!! We there for finals action again and should will also watch with great interest the have an experience advantage over the fortunes of our worthy 2004 Grand rejuvenating Bloods, who usually take a few Finalists, Uni Blacks and Banyule, in the rounds for their cricketers to adjust to not wearing creams . Both sides will be tough environs of C Section . thereabouts in August, but the Monds will Have a fantastic year each and every!! take today's contest by 4 goals . Previe w Emmaus St Leo's v Prahran Glen E ira v Old Carey meet for the first Demotion seems to bring out the best in the time in decades with both in rebuilding Animals, and this game will indicate how mode . Legendary Coach Terry Walsh has good that best wilI be . Prahran had a horror returned to Glen Eira in an effort to redirect year with injuries in 2004 and did damned its fortunes ; while Old Carey is reeling from well to avoid relegation themselves . Both the retirements of Club Legends Cam Clubs are cautiously optimistic . Being at Campbell, Matt Cohen, Nick Everett, Cam Bennettswood, the Animals should start the Matthews, John Raftopoulos, Nick year with a 3 goals victory ,

Burgen, have more moves than a Contortionists College, and both teams commence the year with substantially the sides that served them so well in their respective finals campaigns last season . The unfurling of their D2 Flag will give the Bullants an added lift that should carry them to a 2 goals win .

v YarYa Valley Old rdentonians The Panthers have lost vast experience with the retirement of many veterans such as Adam Acreman and Drew Soliey, but hope to counter that with reams of enthusiastic cubs! They did well in their pre-season games and could surprise . Yarra Valley could (should?) have seen finals action in 2004 but for some unaccountable lapses, and they won't be far away again in 2005 . The Bushrangers are one of the few sides not fussed by the environs of Keysborough Fields, but I think the Panthers young guns, boosted by the return of Chad Twentyman & Justin Vick will take out a top match by 4-5 points .

MM .~ STONE S Williamstown CYMS - Congratulations to !; renelan Cocks on reaching his 1 50th gam e. Brendan is gutsy winger who often goes where angels fear to tread . His courage and skill is recognised at the CY's combining in three club champion awards . The first was in the U I9's . His pace on the wing and ability to dodge players and take strong high flying marks makes it a joy to watch .

Sa les l a n OC - congratulate today's! milestone of 250 Games by Andrew l "E " Seager . Starting his career as a swift and miserly defender, Eggy has exploited the Amateur ruck laws with great effect for over 15 years to become "the best tap ruckman of a generation" . It is a credit to his fitness and preparation that he becomes the first Salesian player to reach this milestone . Andrew is a tireless worker off the field, having served on the Committee in various capacities for over 10 years . A true Club Man and colourful characteri within Amateur circles, we congratulate you Eggy, and hope there are many more games to come . E'AP.9ATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005 2

In his editorial, CEO Phil Stevens, detailed a number of key points for the Millennium season . There was a new "heat policy", an extension of the "audible obscenity" rule for players who incur more than one "order -off' and an "All Star Team of the Year", to be chosen, based on weekly nominations . The VAFA was at its progressive best ! A Section scribe, Jason Frenkel, reported that the opening was a "bumper" round . Match of the week was between Old Melburnians and University Blues . At half time the Blues held a 6 goal lead but tired badly and the OM's ran over the top, 14 .11 to 12 .13 . The OM's were pleased with the effort of Holmes in his battle with Blues' big man . McLachlan and Mulligan and Browne also satisfied the OM's camp . "A" Section coaches were - Garry Connolly (Marcellin), Warren Fall (MHSOB), Kevin Tibaldi (Old Ivanhoe), Neil Ross, (Melburnians), Brendan Mason (Old Scotch), Leigh Carlson (Old Trinity), Tim O'Shaughnessy (Old Xavs), Gary Foulds (St Bernards), Mike McArthur-Allen (St Kevins) and Lee Adamson (Uni Blues) . In B Section Whitefriars unfurled the 1999 C Grade pennant and celebrated with a strong win over Mentonians, 14 .15 to 7 .10 . Best players ; Carbone, Cunningham, Hilton, Hughes, Reidy (6) Pasqualotto, (W'Friars) and Newton, Kitto, Flaskis, Katris, Cozens, Campbell (Mentonians) .

In C Section, the two promoted teams, AJAX and Bulleen /Templestowe, were both soundly beaten by Old Geelong and Glen Eira respectively . Beaumaris, who had been relegated from B Section, announced their intentions with a huge result, 30 .15 to Ivanhoe /Assumptions 13 .16 . D1 Section's Aquinas Old Collegians had been : middle of the road in the previous season but launched their new season with

a massive 34.17 to Oakleigh's 10 .10 . Thomas with 8 goals and Cultrer awith7er e

guns up forwar . dforAquinas Peninsula Old Boys went straight to the top of the D2 Section ladder after they disposed of Parkside 16 .7 to 6 .13 . D 2 Section coaches were - Grant Hammond (Fitzroy Reds), Serge D'Angelo (Kew), Ken Wood (Mentone), Laurie Zerafa (Parkside), Brett Mcllwraith (Peninsula), Matt Sexton (Salesian), Gordon Burrows (Thomastown), Kane Bowdern (Uni Blacks), Tim Pontefract (West Brunswick) and Tim Kilworth (Yarra Valley OB) . The new All Star competition, "Players of the Week", announced : A Grade - Michael Blood (Old Xavs), B Grade - Peter O'Loughlin (Old Paradians), C Grade - Mick Goodwin (Therry), D1 - Brett Birkhill (Old Carey), D2 - Elliott Hannan (Uni Blacks), D3 - Peter Sadler (Williamstown CYMS), D4 - Jeff Wilson (Old Westbourne) .

We welcomed new clubs and teams to the competition - Beaumaris (seniors, reserves & U19's), Warringal (a new "composite" U19 team), Swinburne Institute and Hawthorn Citizens (new Club 18 teams) . Eltham made the transition from Club 18 to senior ranks . In "A" Section the highly fancied Old Xaverians, under new coach, former Richmond great Barry Richardson, hosted Ormond, tipped by scribe Don Blackwood to be facing a tough season . Somewhat surprisingly Ormond held a 4 goal lead at the main break and increased it slightly by three quarter time . The Xavs rallied, had most of the play in the final term but Ormond, led by captain Brett Connell ,

34 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005

played possession football in the final minutes to finish in front, 12 .7 to 10 .15 . The Monds had made an early season statement to say they were not finished yet! Best for Ormond - Sebo, McConville, Kenrick (4) and Fraser. For the Xavs Landrigan, Bourke, Tapping and Mollard . In B Section, Old Haileybury, still smarting from their relegation from A Grade, pounded Old Mentonians 22 .7 to 12 .14 at McKinnon . Best for OH - Armstrong, Morey (5), Kirkwood-Scott and McKenzie . For Mentonians - Brooks, Davis, Dart and Carter. Monash Blues were big winners over St Bedes Mentone Tigers in C Section . The Blues kicked away in the first term with 7 goals to 3 and continued on their merry way as Leigh Baring (4) and Dan Carman (5) provided headaches for the Tigers' defenders . Other good players for the Blues were Logan, White and Hipwell while Bilos, Diggins, McGraw and Parsons deserved plaudits from the St Bedes match committee for sticking to their tasks .

, __._ - - _ ill A Section Collegians went straight to the top of the ladder with a resounding victory at Old Xavs' expense, 21 .12 to 7 .11 Hinchen, Cook Schmidt (3), Tregear, Bennett and Baum (4) were strong for the Lions . Curtain (3), Trainor, Ryan, Klein, Godsell and Carlin did their best for the Xavs .

North Old Boys were also very impressive and their 13 .11 overwhelmed De La Salle who could only muster 4 .12 . Paul Considine (4), Busutill, Conti, O'Rourke, Lynch and Dore pleased NOBS' coach Jim Durnan who was delighted with the great start to the season . For De La Salle, centre half back Mick Deveson did all he could and the margin could have been considerably more had he not defended so stoutly . Cooke, Harrington, Holdsworth, Bromley and Anderson were the best of the rest . () THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005

The tribunal had a very busy start before round one with no less than 14 players suspended for indiscretions in the practice matches . Unfortunately the trend continued with 19 players suspended during round one . Bob Green played his 300th game during round one . Bob started with Parkside in 1966 and was lured to West Brunswick the following season . Bob was an excellent contributor on and off the field and had already been awarded life membership by his club .

In A Section Ormond opened their season positively and avenged their defeat in the 1974 Grand Final when they accounted for Uni Blacks . Their 8 goals straight in the third quarter turned the game around completely . Best for Ormond were the dashing Alan Graham (4), Bruce Bourne (1984 VAFA player of the year) . Russ, Buckley, Thomas and Naylor also providing great drive . Simon Costello was the Blacks' best and was supported by Holmes, Perrett, Burne, Pascoe and Tony Costello .

In B Section Old Scotch ran over the top of Old Carey 17 .10 to 7 .10 . The Scotchies' best were Morgan (7), Molyneaux, Alder, J Marx, Tallent and Anderson (3) . Old Carey's best were clearly Yeo, Constable, R Cooke, Freeman and Morrison . Old Brighton comfortably defeated Brunswick 14 .11 to 8 .11 in C Section . Best - Jones (5), Walsh, Berry, Currie, Paroissien and Thomas (Old Brighton) and Lasala, R Johnstone (3), P Egan, Hanlon, Hughes and Watt (Brunswick) . A Section field umpires were Brian Goodman, Colin Wills, Phil Rowell, Ken Jorgenson and Trevor Rowe . The first five gentlemen were to continue their contribution to the VAFA, after they stopped umpiring, as observers, advisors and even VAFA executive members . 35

Welcome to season 2005! Having been promoted (with my beloved Westbourne) from the scribe's job in D4 last season, I am looking forward to penning my views on what should be a very tightly fought division . Having spoken to most clubs I have managed to form some thoughts on what I believe will transpire over the season, and have put these into my 2005 preview . 2005 Preview West Brunswic k Having come down from D2 last season, the Westies have been dealt another blow losing three stars including three-time comp B&F Adam Cannane to overseas work commitments . However, gun recruits Donik Manoulkian, who will provide plenty of zip from the half back line and bollocking forward pocket Brendan Hogan should fill this void somewhat . Coach Angus "Hamma" Hamilton said that he "was taking it one week at a time" and would be "hoping to give a good, honest account of themselves" when asked about their prospects . A top four finish is not out of the question . South Melbourne Dist ri ct s Word in D3 circles is that the Districts are a big chance to take out the flag this season . Preseason has been very exciting and although they lost a few of their experienced players from last year, a number of pick ups have shown good form early . Included in there is a "big bush recruit, a couple of players coming down from the D2 comp and some talented and skilful young ex-U19's" . Judging from the mail, I am expecting a top four finish by the team . Old Westbourn e

The Warriors, fresh from their thumping 2004 premiership season where they lost only one match for the season have all the momentum going into 2005 . However, the loss of four experienced players from the premiership side may put a dent in coach Jeff Wilson's plans . Word from the club is that players such as

"Fish" Whiting and Adam Mokrusch are the up-and-comer s expected to fill that void and a finals place will not be out of the question, though a mid table finish is most likely .

UHS-VU The students have lost much of their side from last season with a staggering ten players heading off overseas and also several retirements . However, in their place, quite a few youngsters have filled the void with "several exciting pickups" . Another positive is the fitness of Cracknell who is promising to have a big 2005 . Given their consolidation season in 2004, the students will have their eyes firmly placed on a top two finish in 2005 and I think they may be a good thing this year . Werribee Having staved off relegation last season by the skin of their teeth, it will be a desperate Tigers outfit taking to the field in 2005 . An influx of talented youngsters have begun to filter through from their successful U/ 19's team, and led by Daniel Lee and Matt Palmington it is expected that the pace of the Werribee outfit will be increased significantly . The return of some long term injured players to the fore adds to the positive signs . However, to me I believe this will be a tough year for the Tigers who will need to win some close ones to stave off relegation . Kew I tried hard to contact someone from Kew but to no avail . As such I can only go on what I saw last year, and on that I think Kew will be competitive . A lot will depend on whether they can win the close ones, however, my guess is a 7-10 finish is on the cards for the Browns . Syndal Tally H o

Training since January, the Hoers have had consistent numbers on the track throughout preseason . Newly appointed Senior Coach Tony Rowe has had his work cut out for him with a

36 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 200 E

number of senior players departing from last season, and has brought many new players to ,the club with him . Competitive in their practice matches, I am expecting them to be thereabouts come finals time with a 4-6 finish most likely . Monash Gryphons Despite the Gryphons disbanding their Club 18 team after only one season, and losing several players as a consequence, the club has managed to pick up a number of players primarily from the university . One of the stars of D3, Adrian Flowerday, will be a big part of any success the Gryphons should experience and along with the steadying influence of veteran Lee Wells, and the mercurial talents of Chris Leeton, I am expecting a 6-8 finish for the club.

St.Johns OC

St .Johns, after a third placed finish in 2005 are expected to give the flag a real shake, however, the preseason has not been all that coach Ben McGee would have planned . A number of his gun players such as 2004 sharp shooter Chris Horbury have yet to commit and as such predicting how their season will transpire is a difficult task . Positives have been the great form of youngsters such as Diaz and Arnold who are expected to be stars of D3 this year. None the less, I believe that they start the season as premiership favourites -despite their early setbacks . Power House

After yet another long pre-season PHFC has had some mixed results in their 3 practice matches . New club Captain and 2004 B&F winner, Matt Hill is expected the lead from the front while Nick Bishop, Matt Taylor, Ben Reardon and Rob Walsh should also be good players for Power House this year . In an even competition I believe a finals berth is unlikely with a 5-8 finish on the cards . Round 1 Previe w West Brunswick v Power Hous e

The Westies have many D3 pundits placing them in the top three although the club continues to play down their chances . On the flip side, Power House would be hoping to get off to the flyer they did last season . For me it is West Brunswick though to win at home by 32 points . South Melb Dist v St Johns

St .Johns have not had the pre-season they would have liked, while South Melbourne appear to be on track for a good year . The wide ses of Elsternwick Park ~s*ill test the preson work of both clubs and I am expecting i HE',aa1ATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005

some tired legs at the end of the day. Picking a winner is tough, but I think I will go with 2004 form and pick St .Johns to win by 11 points . Old Westbourne v Monash G ry phon s The Gryphons travel to Artie Park in what will become one of the dreaded road trips of 2005 . The Warriors will still be flying after the club's two premierships last year as they meet one of the other D3 newcomers . Westbourne are always tough to beat at home, and today will be no exception as they open their account today with a 32-point win . UHS-VU v Syndal Tally H o

The students promise to be a good side this year with an abundance of talent and experience throughout the club . Syndal are also looking good and could surprise . This match will help us assess just how good UHS are, and in picking my winner I am going with them to impress with a 26 point win . Werribee v Ke w My early thoughts have been that both these teams may struggle in 2005 and therefore it is supremely important that they open their accounts in today's match . The young Werribee side is full of promise and their run on the large Tiger's Den will make the going tough for Kew . In what I believe will be a close encounter, I believe Werribee will have the legs to outlast Kew to open the season with a win by 9 points . Press Correspondent s

If you want your team and players mentioned in my column, I am only too happy to oblige . However, I must get your reports into me by midday on Monday at the latest .

0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005 39

The finest ruckman of the modern era, a nomadic goal kicking machine, a Carlton premiership winner with gammy knees, one of the most respected AFL coaches of all time and even a former world championship rower are welcomed into the amateur fold as season 2005 dawns today . After a string of cameo coaching roles in the AFL, Simon Madden has finally taken the plunge as a senior coach and will guide St Bernards this year . Despite his acquisition and a multi million-dollar upgrade to the facilities at West Essendon . one problem remains : almost every player with a smidgen of talent has flown the coop leaving the former Bomber with a Himalayan task . Still, if any team is capable of proving doomsayers wrong, it is St Bernards . Indeed, this very u7iter dismissed them as relegation certainties this time last year, only to hail them as flag favourites a month later! Bernards' President Peter O'Connor said this week . "Simon is doing a great job with the boys but we are hopeful rather than confident at this stage" . Other former AFL identities who will chance their luck in the coaching stakes today include Barry Richardson (Old Xavs) . Dean Rice (Old Melburnians) and Steven Wright (Caulfield Grammarians) while Adrian Cox and Anthony McDonald (Old Xavs), Steven McKee and Simon Garlick (St Kevins) and Luke Beveridge (St Bedes Mentone Tigers) should spice things up in the playing ranks . Scotch's Cameron McKenzie -Ntcliarg may not have an AFL pedigree but the experience of rowing in the Australian Eight at the World Championships should hold him in good stead for the rigours of A Grade football . As always, a host of players have crossed over from suburban and country teams to experience football, VAFA style Heaven help those B Grade full backs who will acquit themselves against one S Minton Connell this season . The canny chest mark specialist seems to have played at every club in Australia during the course of his career but despite his nomadic nature there is one recurring theme, stacks of goals . Business commitments will restrict him in terms of game time but on the back of countless 100 goal + seasons, he should prove a boon for North Old Boys, one of the proudest and most unique clubs in amateur football . As the IIni Blues proved emphatically last year however, former AFL players are by no means a prerequisite for success . Indeed, common sense dictates that all eyes will be planted on the Melbourne Uni clubs as we head into season 2005 . Jock Nelson, 40

THE

arguably the most decorated amateur player of all time with 5 competition best and fairests, says that the Blues exhibited the "most awesome display of hard running I have seen in fifty years of watching amateur football" and it's hard to disagree . In many ways, their siick, free flowing, handball orientated style of play epitomised the difference between our competition and other local leagues which are characterized by more physical, one on one football . Sintilarlv, their D Grade cousins Uni Blacks rew-rote all the rules last year by totally dominating their section . With David Parkin operating as a -coaching adviser and high performance playing mentor" and a smattering of ex AFL players engaged, it would be a brave person who would tip against them doing the double. They have won more A Grade flags than any other club and are the third oldest football club in Australia . behind Melbourne and Geelong . Like the Blacks, Fitzroy Reds and Caulfield Grammarians loom as the sleeping giants who are looking to rise through the grades in years to come . With a nod to their former affiliate Uni Reds, Fitzroy Reds will celebrate their fiftieth anniversary this year . In 1998, they made the decision to adopt the Fitzroy Football Club colours, theme song and former home ground and with one of the largest supporter bases in the amateurs, they look poised to challenge the dominance of Old Boy and University clubs . A decade ago, Caulfield were languishing in E Grade, despite having a strong feeder school . The retention of senior players and a policy of taking on former AFL stars as coach has propelled them to B Grade . As their lst round opponents Whitefriars could well attest however, going from E to A is hard enough, entrenching yourself in the premier grade is nigh on impossible . Whatever the case, the competition has never been stronger and the future looks bright . I hope your team gets off to a great start today . Premiership Tips A . Old Xav s B . De La Salle C .

7 WE USE

by Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallagher

Here we go again!

Well, the celebrations of the festive season were well and truly over and that Christmas "excess baggage" began to shed when our new Fitness Advisor Rob Sneddon took control of us on that first official night of pre-season training in February . Some umpires had obviously been doing a fair bit of work over the summer, whilst a few looked like they'd "swallowed the furniture" . New umpires received a great initiation to the rigours of VAFA umpiring, by week two we'd only scared off a couple . A few retirements as usual, but this year we've topped-up to a pretty reasonable level. Second year Advisor (now full-time Umpire Operations Manager, Brian ( Benny) Goodman) is licking his lips with the prospect of being able to appoint two field umpires in each game . Umpires over 40 are pretty happy about that too! Run well this weekend, and let's look forward to a successful 2005 . Welcom e A big welcome to 2005's new recruits . Welcome back to former VAFA umpires - Cameron Stewart, Nathan Carlyon, Robe rt Sneddon, Nick Fennessy and Justin Lipson . To the new field umpires who've changed careers - Nick Keating, Alex Maggio, Michael Ryde and Paul Tyrer from the boundary and Matthew Simpson from the goals (will Matt get the Blue 18 shirt under the father-son rule?) Other new names include - Steve Castersen, Lee Crossley, Daniel Siifo, Shaun Brailsford, Russell Davidson, Bob Kaindl, Robe rt O'Gorman, Paul O'Loughlin, John Hughan, David Longwo rth, Danny Trott, Mark Farrell, Jon Kerr, Dean Schwab, Brent Woodhead, Paul Brown, Nathan Sheppard, Shane McNamara, Danny Ewans, Vaughan Sidebottom, Rod Penaluna, David Anselmi, Ian Kennedy, Graeme Templer, Shane Mackintosh an d Tom Windlow . Hopefully all of these umpires will be out there today representing the VAFAUA for the first time . If we've left you out (or spelt your name wrong) just let us know during the week, we'd like to give everyone a mention . Stay tuned for new boundary and goal umpires . Goalies Check out the new look of the VAFA goal umpires today. Does something look different? Good to see Kevin (Chilli) Segota back between the posts, fully recovered after an injury that put him out of action for the whole 2004 season. VFL Umpiring Lists announce d At the completion of the 2004 VAFA premiership nominated Damian season, Brian Goodman Anderson, Ben Ryde an d Dash Peiris to trial with the VFL Development Squad .

training, fitness tests and practice matches . They were also regularly seen joining in VAFA pre-season training at Elsternwick Park . About four weeks ago, the VFL umpiring squads were finalised for the 2005 season . It was announced that both Damian Anderson and Ben Ryde would join the VFL Development Squad for season 2005 and umpire in the Under 18 TAC Cup competition throughout Victoria . Dash Peiris will continue to umpire in the VAFA . The VFL Development Squad is made up of 23 field umpires . It is Damian's second time on the VFL list after having umpired with the Development Squad from 1999-2001 . Ben Ryde (2004 Golden Whistle winner) is one of nine umpires who are new to the squad in 2005 . All three umpires are to be congratulated on their efforts during the pre-season . e-Coaching All Coaching Sessions conducted by Umpire Operations Manager, Brian Goodman, and his team will be available on www.vafaua .asn.au throughout season 2005 . The schedule of Coaching Sessions can already be found by clicking on "Development" in the left margin . Each Coaching Session will be available throughout the season by clicking on the session title in the Coaching Sessions Timetable . Brian Goodman is asking all VAFA umpires to attend Coaching Sessions conducted at Elsternwick Park . Umpires unable to attend training should view the information on the fantastically maintained VAFAUA website . Our Webmaster Tim Sutcliffe has done a sensational job over summer re-building our site . Bookmark www .vafaua .asn .au and check it out . You might be in it .

earnest . It is a great time of year, primarily because all teams are equal and thus expectations high . Unfortunately, a reality check will be put into place by about 4.30pm Saturday afternoon as round 1 draws to a close .

It is always important to remember however that the season is a long one and a loss in round 1 is no different to a loss in round 10 . Not the right time for panic, at least not yet . And quick one to remember, the first runner out of the stadium in the Olympic marathon has never been the first one back to the stadium! ! No form guide or round 1 thus we will have to revert to that tried and tested method, the Amateur grapevine . The one name that keeps popping is St . Mary's, a side desperately unlucky not to get through to the Grand Final . The grapevine also suggests that Bulleen will be able to continue their solid form of 2004 whilst one at longer odds, namely Albert Park, has also been the subject of some coat tugging in recent weeks . The loss of Mt Lilydale makes for an interesting situation . Historically, the side demoted via a second last finish start the year as strong contenders. With the Lilydale crew regrouping for the next 12 months, the incumbents in D4 won't face the prospect of two teams coming down to dominate . The other relegated side, Hawthorn was fairly competitive last year and will be keen to reverse the trend of the past two seasons.

As for the league Best and Fairest, might take a little liberty and reserve judgment for about 3 weeks as a quick refresher in the D4 stars is undertaken . Lauletta (H) and Allen (Albert Park) will fight out the goal kicking . guick preview for round 1 .

Box Hill North host Albert Park. The Hillmen finished off reasonable well last year however if the stories are true, Albert Park have had a great pre-season and might be a little too good . Elsternwick welcome St Mary 's in this week's match of the round . Despite thinking that St .MarY's will win it, fancy the Wicks home ground advantage might get them over the line . Richmond travel to N ort h Brunswick with a win fairly in mind . Richmond all got better as the year went on however the home ground advantage might be too tough . Finally, Bulleen make the quick trip across to Hawthorn . The Hawks might get better as the year goes on whilst the Bulls might be a little bit more settled and record a first up win . Eltham OC has the bye in Rd I . Press Correspondents

Looking forward to getting all the information from club scribes . Either email me on ed,sill@locker .com.au or call on 0418348723 . Have a great year !

As for D4 last year, it truly was a tale of two stories, namely the haves and the have nots. The sides finishing 3-5 were part of s tong upper ladder group whilst the sides finishing 6-10 were competitive amongst themselves but were no match for the top five . The gap was fairly large and the five sides in question will have to do a lot of work to build the bridge.

Aiming to become only the eighthteam in Under-19 history to claim backto-back JS McCann Cups, De La once again have the luxury of a large squad base to choose from with more than fifty players regularly attending training . Managing to hang onto a large percentage of last year's premiership winning side, the only hiccup in the side's preseason training has been the absence of their coach David Madigan who flies in from overseas on the morning of their first game . De La Salle by 13 pts . Section One runners-up St Kevins face a tough round one initiation this weekend, playing host to Old Xaverians . Former coach Owen Hourigan returns for his second stint with the St Kevins 19s after coaching the side for three seasons in the mid-nineties . Fielding a younger side this weekend St Kevins will go into the game as underdogs, a lack of experience rather than skill likely to be the determining factor . Old Xavs by 7 pts .

In other games, Collegians receive a forfeit victory following the withdrawal of Werribee, St Bernards to rectify a disappointing 2004 with a round one win over Marcellin, while Old Scotch should get the four points at home to Old Brighton .

long, endless evenings at the beach go? You know - with a couple of stubbies of Coopers' and a bag of Doritos & salsa dip . . . . When were they replaced with touch skills, running drills, tackle bags, weight circuits and 5 x 1 km time trials? Beats me .

Welcome all to season 2005, and the hardest round in Victorian footy to predict, VAFA Under 19 round 1 . . . . . . . Banyule -v- Old Carey will be a good physical affair with the home side boasting some strong midfielders . Up a section in '05, I expect The OC to put in a good lst up performance, but the Bears will prevail by 3 goals . The Fields come down to meet the newly promoted Friars . Daly should have an embarrassment of ex-schoolboy riches at his disposal . Forget the Form-guide at here, the visitors should have enough talent to win by 15 points . Good oil is the OMs are struggling for numbers and this alone would put them on the back foot in round 1 . Facing the Wellers, who were one win away from Section 1 in 2004, means they couldn't have a tougher initiation . Wellers by 12 goals .

The Sharks have been very quiet offseason, and I've little idea of their leadup form . Naturally, I've got a better idea of the T's, who have had the benefit of 3 solid practice hit-outs against section 1 teams . On that basis, I expect a tough 4 goal away win . Finally, Showdown III kicks off the season out west where Rupo host th e

48 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2C

Bombers . Both teams finished poorly last year, and will be keen to start well . Home side by 3 goals in a ripper. Section 3 Section 3 is basically an Intervarsity League this season, so we can expect some interesting results 'round exam time! ! Nevertheless, the Trobers will be full of confidence . They face-off against last season's disappointment, the Blacks, who should've nailed the premiership, and will hit the Main Oval at Bundoora at 100mph . Blacks by 6 goals . Whilst the seniors sides face off at South Yarra, the Hoers and Unicorns lock horns at Chelsworth . Can't say either side impressed last year, but the Hoers should enjoy the drop in a grade to chalk up a solid 5 goal win . Oakleigh will drive the team bus down Warrigal Rd where the Tigers lie in wait . I was on the Tigers' bandwagon early last season, but it ran out of gas . This year will be different, so it's the home side by 17 points today . Have the all-conquering Bentleigh Demons managed to keep their side together during summer? The Jackas improved throughout the year, and will be a tougher unit in '05 . However, the Demons, with the home advantage, should win by 2 goals .

Spinner's boys couldn't have asked for a better draw to start their new year in Section 3 . The Monash boys usually take time to 'gel' and, unless they've chosen to recruit sooner, I expect another slowish start . Raiders by 7 goals . Section Blue

Great to see Salesian Scorpions here in 2005, but I'm expecting big things from Mick Oaten's boys, who will hit Kingo's Lounge for the club season opener with 4 points tucked away . Ormond by 26 points .

Fresh from an APS victory in '04, the new Bloods should do serious damage . They have the joy of playing on the postage stamp McKinnon #2, which will prove tough for visiting sides . I expect the Pirates will return empty handed OH by 14 points .

Johnny Tapp used to say "Nodders -vRovers : harder to pick than a broken nose" . I tossed the coin and it landed sideways . The crystal ball fogged up, so I turned to the tarot cards, and they said . . . . . . . . .Mazenod by 3 goals . Last game sees Oakleigh Clays hosting De La (2) . With plenty of boys looking to show the coaches why they should've been in the 1 sts, this will be a humdinger . De La Soul to play the first tunes of '05 with a tight 9 point victory . Section Red Reigning premiers Fitzroy will remain in Section Red after originally being promoted to Section Three . In all only five of last year's sides are to return for the new campaign, with newcomers Kew and Old Scotch (2), as well as Therry Penola (3) and Emmaus St Leo's (Blue) all ready to challenge for the 2005 title .

After rewriting the under-nineteen history books with an undefeated 2004 campaign, Fitzroy will aim to continue their run of consecutive victories when they face the second-string side from Old Scotch . However the Reds, who like most clubs have experienced a moderate turnover in player numbers, shouldn't underestimate the Scotch seconds given the depth of the club's squad base . Fitzroy by 19 pts . Newcomers Kew return to undernineteens competition after several years without a side, a strong affiliation with the Kew Junior Football Club Colts providing sufficient numbers for a team in 2005 . While the club will be hoping to build on a base for future years, coach Matthew Jack will optimistically b e

aiming to become the first coach of any Kew U 19s side to win a premiership . This weekend's initiation is as good as any, a home tie against BulleenTemplestowe who rallied after a disappointing 2003 to finish mid-table last year . Bulleen-Templestowe by 3 pts . In the round's other two fixtures, Old Westbourne to defeat Aquinas, and Rupertswood to down Therry Penola in a thriller. Press Correspondent s

Round 1 200 5 1es it is that time of the year again when the all 4 he players dust of their boots and head out n parkville for the first game of 2005 . The season opens with Moonee Valley Magpies playing Maribyrnong Bulldogs 2 . Yes that is right the first game of the season is a c lash of traditional rivals . Moonee Valley might i tst get over the line in what should be a close ,,ucounter. he corresponding game on Oval 2 is between Port Colts 2 and a new team Mazenod Panthers from Oakleigh . Port Colts should be ,ble to use their experience to advantage but \,; e wish the Panthers all of the best for the ;, < son and welcome them to the competition . Tlic next game is between last years Division 1 premiers Ballam Park 1 and Broadmeadows 1 %0ho finished in the top four . Ballam Park should win on form but we are sure that l>roadmeadows have put in a big preseason :uid should give a good account of themselves . Po rt Colts 1 who played off in last year's play Bulleen Ui~ ision 2 grand final Templestowe . Our scouts have said that Port ! blcs have had a number of players retire an d

this may prove to be the difference between the two sides with Bulleen Templestowe getting the ideal start to 2005 . Ovens & Murray Jets 2 travel down the highway to take on Broadmeadows 2 in the third game of the day on Oval 1 . Going on last year's form Broadmeadows should be able to kick a wining score in what should be an entertaining game . Maribyrnong Bulldogs last year's Division 2 premiers take on Ballam Park 2 . This game will be very close but may go to Maribyrnong if they have kept their 2004 squad together . Mambourin Tigers play Ovens & Murray Jets 1 on Oval 1 . The Tigers are hoping to emulate their name sakes in the A .F .L . and come out in 2005 full of running . Ovens & Murray 1 may have other ideas in a game that is to close to call . The final game for the day on Oval 2 is between North Ballarat Knights and Parkside . Parkside from all reports have lost a number of players from 2004 and may find it hard to defeat the Knights who are an experienced combination . The executive wishes all of the teams and officials the best of luck for season 2005.

Winning Edge Presentations

by Nc, r-, Nugen t

The successful format of previous seasons continues with twenty nine teams divided into three sections . Th e

should carry them to victory .

annual change of team participation has continued with the loss of an Old Scotch side and Monash Gryphons . Into the competition comes another Fitzroy Reds side and Mt Lilydale return after a season in F Section (1999) and our seasons in D4 Section and one in D3 .

following thei r

Another successful season is anticipated especially at this time of optimism when each club is sure it will experience premiership glory on the third Sunday in August!! !

University Blues will unfurl their pennant before facing De La Salle, who missed the finals last year for the first time in seven seasons . I know many of the premiership team have left the Blues, who have moved up in standard . However I select them to win to show they will be serious contenders in the section .

Preview of Round 1 . Section 1

St Kevins, hoping for more success than in 2004, host reigning premiers, Old Xaverians, who have past . Why should 2005 be any different? It's Old Xaverians for me ! Runners up Mazenod play host to Mt Lilydale . In 2004 Mazenod were a very successful combination who should be able to win today . Mt Lilydale are an unknown quantity . Their loss of players must have an effect on their standard of performance although they have a tremendous advantage when they play at home . Mazenod should win narrowly . Old Melburnians, newly promoted, and with many new faces meet Prahran, whose abnormal pre season training made the news . Personnel changes at Prahran, will give the "Two Blues" a changed look . Without any knowledge of who-will take the field, I lean to Prahran to take the points as their experience

Old Scotc h success last season play Old Brighton, who did not achieve their usual degree of success last season . The younger Old Scotch team is my selection because the Old Brighton players may take a while to adjust to their new coaching regime .

Section 2 Marcellin, who will appreciate their participation in this section, host Fitzroy Reds, who have been finalists in the past two years . I favour Fitzroy Reds as I fancy their depth of talent will give them superiority over Marcellin . Collegians should be able to defeat University Blacks on the new Harry Trott Oval . University teams are notoriously slow starters and those Club XVIII players who played against Old Paradians on March 19 certainly will need the run today.

Old Xaverians, who were leading as the final 2004 siren sounded, play Therry Penola today . The Xaverians are my selection as Bob's Therry Penola players tend only to be "Lyons" at home . Old Essendon are at home to las t

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 20(

season's runner's up Old Trinity at East i ;eilor. Old Essendon, who struggled last season, will appreciate their movement to Section 2 . However Old Trinity will prove worthy opponents . At home, I favour Old Essendon to win by a small margin . Eley Park or the Box Hill Sharks, have gained "bite" through judicious recruiting, according to my sources . They do face a difficult game first up at Monash where the "Blues" are always hard to defeat . Early in the season is the most vulnerable time for University sides and so I select the Sharks to win first up . Section 3 Old Scotch, should be able to defeat the young La Trobe University side at St James Park . As many of the La Trobe players are coming from the Under 19s, I feel the more experienced Old Scotch players will triumph . Caulfield Grammarians, in their second season, are at home to Whitefriars, who disappointed last season . Availability of players is an unknown and my selection of Whitefriars is purely a hunch based on the fact that they will field the more experienced players . Newcomers Fitzroy Reds are an unknown quantity, who will face tough opposition from Emmaus - St Leos . Given Emmaus - St Leos were finalists last season, I suggest they will defeat the Fitzroy Reds .

North Old Boys, under the astute 11~adership of veteran Damian Cerini ~lzould prove too strong for Old Geelong, whose form over many seasons has been erratic . Old Carey has the bye due to St . Bernards OC recent withdrawal . Press Correspondent s Will be away this week so uncontactable - contact numbers will appear next
