SPORTSCOVER VAFA MAJOR SPONSOR

by Jonathan Nor n

Life getting you down? Can't go a yard on the punt?

Girlfriend run off with a bloke who resembles Rob Brough? Well dust off the polo top, switch the dial to 96 .5 and turn that frown upside down, A Section footy is back with a bullet and it's season preview time . . .

1 Old Xaverian s Well . Is there anything left to say? Normally I'd write them off, what with McDonald leaving for megabucks in the SFL, Purss lured to Werribee, Ford relinquishing the captaincy and Mr Chips headed for the rubber bus . But love 'em or hate 'em, this is one of the most amazing football clubs in the country who can make fools of opposition teams/scribes pretty easily .

Signings of note include Hugo Murphy, a youngster from Springvale, Simon McCue, who has crossed from NSW and Ben Hackett from Mitcham . James McDonnell returns from London while Mark Graham and Tim Fleming slot in from the AFL . Beetham is believed to be headed to Port Douglass though like Skasey's brief stint there, the situation is tenuous and he could be back in Melbourne quick pronto . . .

2 University Blue s Flashback . Grand Final Day, - time . Lovely day . Kids leaping about on jumping castles, getting rides on miniature trains . Blues skip away to a four goal lead .

"Hornet, you're one clever cat", I tell myself, in light of a slightly demented selection . 90 minutes later, everything's changed, the students have turned a whiter shade of pale and I'm black-banned for life!

Jimmy Scambler has headed home to Birchip and Mark Rigby and Josh Tanner are sitting out 2006.

They've plundered NOBS (so to speak) snaring Jason Cordy, Steve Jarrot and Josh Cassell, regain Drew S!immon, Jackson Brooke and Damien Guengerich and pick up Zane Coventry (Kyabram), Jarrod Villani (Tatura, Wangaratta Rovers, Coburg) and a heap of other kids from the bush .

3 Old Haileybury "I don't have friends, I have premierships", said Peter Nicholson upon assuming the mantle at the 'Pit in 2002 . Now any man who says that publicly obviously dances to a different beat but his record speaks for itself : multiple flags at Springvale,

Bernards and a minor premiership at the II Badlands . With injuries galore, the Bloods got caught in three way script an d bowed out manfully last year. So far, they've lost Waite and Barker (MPFL) and Jeremy Bourke (VAFA headquarters) .

Signings include a gentleman by the name of Heath Hopwood, who played in three flags with Central Districts, captained South Australia against the VFL and established himself as one of SA's foremost male models, hunking it up in a string of bank commercials . It's never dull at the Badlands .

4 St Bernard s What on earth has happened to the Snakepit? What became of that nutcase in the scoreboard and the bloke who would piff things at you as you showered?

Now the place has been gentrified, complete with an affable coach, a quaint grandstand and recruits from the Land of the Rising Sun . And now Tony Liberatore will be 'Pitting up! Jumpin' Jehovah, can you picture some fresh faced APS boy who got a bit of it last week being tagged and mauled by Libba! Could have fallen apart completely last year but they've galvanised and rebuilt admirably and look a real knockout chance . Scratchings are significant though : Rule aline through Byrne and Keunan (WAFL), Gill and Garth (VFL) and Goullet (Old Essendon) .

5 Old Scotc h Scotch blew it last year. And with Messrs Tapping, Kitchen, Hume, Crow, Phillips, Collins and possibly Mckenzie-McHarg departing the building, it's tempting to sack them . But they've got the best depth in the amateurs, the best player in the amateurs (Gerstman, despite what the folks at Xavs think) and one of the best kicks of all time coaching (Barry Price) . Still in the mix .

6 Marcelli n Dinneen is slaying 'em at Vermont. Rice and Cullinan likewise in the WAFL . Augustin and Carmody have been snapped up by the VFL . Cox's shoulder keeps a poppin' . And Frazer has jumped ship to concentrate on life as a married man . So why mid-table? Well, it' s

2 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

hard to write off a club whose unders win the GF by ten goals . The Eagles often jump out of the blocks but have been working on the Pensky file at the business end of the season for the past few years .

7 De L a Sall e Very much a generic De La team this : quick, slight and young . Little rabbits, Tommy Brain called 'em last year. They beat Trinity and Xavs in the pre season and ran East Burwood to a couple of goals .

No way I'd tip my old team to get relegated, though it's one of those years where any one of seven sides could make the drop .

8 Old Ivanho e Old Ivan No? Perhaps so . Yes, they were the dominant B Section team and yes, they've snared Toovey from East Ringwood and Sutherland from Warrnambool . But their debits look ominous . Haros?

Playing soccer. Luxon? Gone north . Gianfagna? (?)

On Melbourne's rookie list . Kent and Payne? Given it away. Beinke and Cornelius? On a Contiki Tour . They lost all their praccy matches but there's enough state players on their list to suggest they'll still be a headache .

9 Old Trinit y Many will disagree, but I reckon Trinity are in strife .

They just fell in last year, despite a vintage year from Ramsden and a relatively good run with injuries .

They get back Gabe Deane Johns, Adam Andrews, Tom Healy and Chris Frost and lose Lincoln Reynolds and Steven Brown, who had a stellar 2006 . Just reckon they may have used up their get out of jail cards .

1 0 The Old Melburnian s Holy Moly Dean, where has everyone gone!? 2005 B&F Studham is off, along with Micah and Jacob Berry, Holme, Mulquiney, Roberts, James and both Beaumonts . That's their eight best players . No miracles this year chaps .

Today Blues, Scotch, Bernards, Marcellin & Haileybury.

"Your Coaches' Association "

Playing in the Ruc k This is one of the most exciting positions to play, given that you can roam the whole ground, influence the first possession of every stoppage and act like another key position player such as a centre half forward/back .

It is a position that requires a lot of courage and stamina given the distances that you will need to travel in every game . Fitness is a vital key to your success around the ground and at centre bounces . You need to be jumping the same height at the end of the game as you were at the start .

Centre Bounc e The position requires substantial thinking and the adoption of different strategies in response to your opponent's strengths and weaknesses .By the end of the first quarter you should know : • Which hand he favours, is he a left hand palm, right hand punch (forehand smash ) •' Does he come in from the same direction every time?

• Is he versatile enough to change his run-up and midfield layout?

What skills do you need ?

Leap - You need to be able to run off a reasonable 3-5 metre run-up and be able to land on your opponent's chest/shoulders . Your leap will be from your preferred leg, with the non-preferred leg up and across to protect your body . To gauge your improvement over time, place your hands above you and against a wall and mark . Crouch down and from a standing start leap as high as you can and mark again . Try for 450-600mm .

You will need to complete exercises to increase your jumping/spring ability.

Run-up - you need to be able to gauge your preferred run-up length from the ball up and mark this out from the centre circle . You will also need to change this length or different ball ups - are both umpires

12

bouncing/throwing it the same height? The timing for a run-up will be different for each umpire .

Palming - You need to be able to use both hands for palming the football to your rovers. This ensures that the opponent(s) cannot block your favoured arm in boundary throw ins or ball ups around the ground .

The Smash - You need to be able to smash the ball using your fist for a 20-30 metre knock . This is always an advantage where you have windy conditions when the ball may bounce or float backwards over your head .

It also gains a significant distance advantage equivalent to a small kick and hand ball situation and can allow your rovers on-ballers etc a larger area in which to run and gather the ball .

Leadership - Like a bowler in cricket, you have the power to position your players around you at centre bounces, throw ins etc. You should indicate which way you are going to palm/direct the ball so they can make position . On-bailers must demand the ball and identify the direction and area where they want the ball to be palmed or smashed .

Observation and mental skills -You must observe the umpires in terms of ball heights and length for throwins and your opponent to ensure you find a way to beat or nullify their skill level .

From a mental perspective you need to make any necessary changes to your game to ensure your dominance to find a way to win the ball at centre bounces, boundary throw in and other stoppages.

by Fraser Camero n

Round One Previe w Welcome all C Section players, coaches, committees and ardent followers to what will no doubt be an entertaining and pulsating season 2006 .

I am indebted to several club contacts (including senio r coaches Andrew McGregor, Graham Burgen and Paul O'Shannasy) for providing me with plenty of inside info on their pre-season efforts, and look forward to hearing from each and every club on a regular basis throughout the season . So, on the basis of a combination of fact, rumour, conjecture and opinion, here's my view on how your club should fare this season .

outrageous at the moment and they should be able to push through the tough middle months wit h good depth .

September boun d Now we all know the old chestnut about the jump from C to B being the hardest, and it's been pretty common for the bottom two in B to return immediately. For differing reasons, I see every chance of that happening again, but there are genuine challengers out there who will not be making up the numbers .

MAYBE/MAYBE NOT AJAX The theme of Welcome Back Kotter has been rejigged by the Jackas as "Welcome Back Ritter" with Jason Ritterman returning from a Sandringham sabbatical to slot straight into their midfield . If only Jeremy Dukes could return, they'd be a genuine top two chance . I haven't heard that Lewski or Israelshon have suddenly fallen over and should be there to feed big Julian, whose appetite for goals continues unabated . The Sportscover Arena home ground arrangement should ensure big crowds if they get on a roll, and anything could happen . . . . .

St Bedes Mentone Tigers Many have told me this introduction should've been entitled "C Section - How Far the Tigers?" The acquisition of Sam Anstey from Funkytown is one of several which should bolster the list at Brindisi St . The evergreen Kinsella is back to add some grunt, and with the Wintle brothers all firing, and a rumour of "Buckets" making a guest appearance or two, the STBMT fans should be confident of a strong showing throughout the year.

Monash Andrew McGregor takes the reins at Monash and its the first time an ex -club stalwart has come back to coach the club . The former D section medalist has a couple of gaps to fill in the big man department, but otherwise his list is quite intact. I believe key players in Creamer, Holloway, Smith, Craven and Smyth are all suiting up again, so that's a good start . With their traditionally strong depth in the McGoos, the Ashers will be worth an each-way bet .

NOB/SPC The good oil here is that the recent 'joint venture' between NOBs and St Pats College will most likely bear fruit in the junior ranks first, with senior sides being strengthened more in the coming years . However, the re-incarnated entity has also attracted a couple of handy ready made senior players as well and they had numerous close shaves in the final few weeks of season 2005 . They play the Gillon too well to not be in calculations .

Ormond It's all quiet down at EE Gunn with the retirement of Tim Stewart the only notable absentee . However, I believe they've lured Martin back from Uni Blues to add some midfield spark . Add to that the return of one Matt McConville lurking in the forward line, and the mind boggles . Their U19s were awesome last year (albeit in section Blue) and could provide some handy 'ins' if the recruitment drive hasn't gone much further .

Old Paradian s Back-to-back junior flags is an indication of the quality coming through at Bundoora, and even though Harf has signed with the Bullants, I'm expecting Boundy et al to surge forward in 2006. The numbers on the track are

Fitzroy The Big Smoky is the much vaunted Lions who boast a massive list of players, and carry the emotional following of a former Fitzroy army. No-one truly knows how good they could be, but the wise man at the head of the playing organization tells me he's got 4 or 5 youn g

14 ® THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

kids on VFL lists (Maghamez, Dullard, Bombaci and Orton) who may come in/out any week, and the luxury of a very deep list which means rounds 4 to 14 will be where they make or break their season . They'!l be marginally stronger than last year, so keep safe .

TRAPDOOR CHALLENGED Hampton All I've heard about the green and golds is doom and gloom . Mind you, that not actually from the crew at Boss James reserve, so we'll have to just wait and see .

Their core hasn't been getting any younger with The Chief, Mr Anderson, Adam Power, and Heath Tregear taking turns driving the bus, but getting greyer by the year. I'm hoping Zampaglione, Malthouse and Rootsey graduate from the juniors to add more consonants to my reports throughout the year.

Old Camberwel l Even more speculation abounds at the Barn Yard where it's confirmed 6 of their top 8 from last years' B&F, and a total of 14 from their first semi side, have moved on for various reasons (mainly travel/work) . Whilst this will no doubt leave a significant hole in any club, it also creates opportunities . The Wellers have been blessed with some fantastic U19s graduating to the senior ranks, and will be hoping to consolidate in C Grade .

Loats remains as their focal point, and he'Il be a handful for sure. Early wins are critical, and they're a pretty fit unit I hear, so best of luck . . . . .

Parkdale Vulture s The club with arguably the best website in the VAFA (cop

that Sheik!) is rumored to be battling with personnel leakage similar to West Papua. With Tony MacGeorge back to playing on both legs, they have some sort of chance, but depth is the major issue here . Still, they now have an U19 side to provide some cover in the event of player shortages . I'm only dumping them in this category because I've heard little at all, and they probably need something to spark up! !

Tips Seniors NOB/SPC, AJAX, St BedesMT, Monash, and . . . .coin toss . . . . 01d Paradians (sorry Burgs! ) McGoos Ormond, AJAX, St BedesMT, Monash, and Fitzroy Deadline for the round 2 column is 4pm on Monday, so if someone at your club can dash off 100+ words to describe your first round efforts, please email them to me by 10am on Monday at fraser25@bigpond .net .au

When Robert Bulluss's house bu rnt to the ground in late Janua ry , he lost all of his possessions including one which held part icular pride of place, his premiership medallion . After ensuri ng his family were all safe and unharmed, his first words to his father, "I've lost my medal", underlined the significance this medal has for him . Robert played in only one fi nal in his 20 years as a player, the 1991 F section premiership with Elste rn wiek. In fact, says Robe rt , he was fortunate to have that . "I was a late inclusion into the side because of an injury to another player . ANZ were heavily favoured to win having only lost one game during the year . Nobody tipped us to win, but as so often happens in Grand Finals, we managed to get over the line" .

After a letter to the VAFA from his father Jim, the VAFA were able to produce a replacement medal and have it mounted with a team photo . Presented to Robe rt at VAFA headqua rters, an overwhelmed Robe rt stated, "this has given back a memo ry of one of the greatest days in my life" .

LD GEEL HELP OU T ._ ,

AND OLD

One on the best initiatives from our clubs during the pre-season was the efforts of Old Geelong and Old Carey members to help out bushfire victims in the state's west . Both clubs sent separate teams of volunteers to assist in the clean up and rebuilding of fences and property . Local Farmer Tom Gutherie said, "the assistance given by these blokes has been invaluable . We have repaired things that would take me months to do and will help to get this farm operating much sooner than we thought" .

As well as helping with manual labour Old Geelong AFC raised over $2500 for the local bushfire appeal .

The VAFA con-ratulates Old Geelong and Old Carey for their community spirit and the generosity of their time and effort .

It's great to see time spent in the VAFA is treasured so highly .

The Max Lyon Cup is a round robin competition run for U19 new to the VAFA, which included Old Mentonians, Powerhouse/South Mornington (who played Old Mentonians in the final), North Old Boys/St . Pats and Old Xaverians (2) . We wish these clubs every success for the season and look forward to them being a part of the VAFA for many years to come .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

During the of. .-,;on the AAFC Under 23's completed a successful tour to Ireland . The team was captained

by Michael Barker (Old Haileybury) and finished the four matches with a 2 win 2 loss result, Nine VAFA players toured and the highlight, although soundl y beaten, was the match against All Ireland at Croke Park, Dublin . This match was heavily scrutinized by Kevin Sheedy and it was the intricate plays by coach Frank Dunne] that set up much of the planning for the Australian teams win in the International series .

The victorious Ul,i th ; :~tortians U19 sic',

ÂŽ VAFA Vo w s Great to see a member of the VAFA Executive gauging popular opinion on the VAFA, done in a "Street Talk" style format at the VAFA Coaches' Night . While most of the responses were positive inside the function, certain members of the public outside (some who call the streets home) took to explaining exactly where our reporter could shove his long fluffy microphone .

Undeterred, our Sam Newman clone pressed on to receive some quite humorous responses, as seen at the season launch .

The other games were played against the All Ireland University (loss in Galway), the Army (our first in at Pearse Stadium, Galway) and BishopsTown (win in Cork) .

It was a once in a lifetime trip for all players and for the results and best players of each match go to www .aafc .com .au .

The VAFA representatives were Michael Barker (Old Hail), David Boundy (Old Paradians) Daniel Cullman (Marcellin), How Lacey (Old Melburnians), Ari Lewski (Ajax), Tim McKinnon (Old Melburnians),Damien Rayson (De La Salle), Joel Rice ('â&#x20AC;˘iarc) and Ben Waite (Old I[ail )

RQN vt ; 51E R It is with great regret the VAFA note the passing of Western Australian Amateu r Football League CEO, Mr Ron Webster in January this year.

Ron was a great friend of the VAFA during his three years with the WAAFL and was a significant contributor i n reforming the Australian Amateur Football Council . Ron recently toured with the Under 23 team to Ireland and has left large shoes to fill in the West .

Ttt, boys savour their first victory on tour

Ron is survived by his wife Paulyne and sons Rvan and Luke . All at the VAFA recognise his efforts and friendship durin g his time and we look forward to continuing good relationships with ~ Western Australian Amateurs .

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to season 2006 . My name is Peter Williamson (AKA "The Owill"), and I'll be your scribe for D1 section this season .

PREVIEW OF 200 6 Old Carey have been active in the player market, with about a dozen players from last year's finals campaign missing, but also picking up some quality players from a variety of sources. With the quality of the incomings being more or less up to par with the outgoings, expect Old Carey to be at the very least on the periphery of finals action, if not actually in the thick of it themselves, after a slow start while they gel as a unit .

2005 D2 Premiers Old Geelong enter the new campaign with a lot of fanfare and rumour has it are expecting their second successive promotion . The talent is certainly there, but they cannot forget that there are nine other teams in D1 with the same goal in mind . Merely turning up and hoping their reputation precedes them won't be enough, but if they respect their opposition and play to their full ability, they are arguably as good a show as anyone .

Both Yarra Valley OB and Therry Penola are said to be hard up for numbers . If this is indeed the case, it will be a long season for them . Valley have been at this level for some time now, and in a division with a 40% turnover in teams from year to year, the odds will catch up with them sooner rather than later. Therry have slipped a couple of grades in the last few years, which may well have had a detrimental effect on the size of their personnel . As success breeds success, so it seems that struggle only produces further struggle, and Therry may well have a big one on their hands in 2006 .

Bulleen-Templestowe have gone on a big recruiting spree, but whether this is likely to achieve anything remains to be seen . St . Leo's Emmaus and Prahran have been subject to plenty of hype, as have Banyule and Rupertswood (albeit to a lesser degree), while Old Mentonians remain something of a mystery . Rupo will be looking to consolidate their spot at this level, and would consider finals this year a bonus . Although they have recruited a couple of experienced campaigners, once again their successful junior set-up will provide the bulk of their new blood .

20

ROUND ONE PREVIEW Old Mentonians host Emmaus St . Leo's OC at the Playing Fields .

Haven't been able t o find out too much about either side thus far, but I guess they'll occupy that middle ground between finals and relegation . At home, I'm gonna go for the OMs this time around .

Prahran square up against Therry Penola at Toorak Park . The Two Blues, although finalists in 2005, were a fair way off the top two, and will be looking to take the step to the,next level . As mentioned, Therry are heard to be struggling for numbers, and the spectre of relegation from last season may still be haunting them . Prahran to win .

Old Carey travel to Domeney Reserve for their game against Yarra Valley OB . OC fans can look forward to the return of a fit and firing Al Parton, and the introduction into senior ranks of 2005 U19-2 grade B & F winner Andrew Willingham . Carey looked quite comfortable in their first year back at this level last season, while the Valley Boys have been treading water for some time . It's the OC for me .

Banyule take on Rupertswood at R .J . Brockwell Oval .

Rupo continue their upward mobility, while Banyule take a step down from C Grade . Banyule's new coach Phiv Demetriou has had great success at U19 level, and it will be interesting to see how this translates to senior level . Expect a fair amount of Rupo U19s from 2005 to get a run today . Tough call, but at home, I'll take Banyule .

Finally, the last two D2 premiers Bulleen Templestowe and Old Geelong face off at Ted Ajani Reserve . The OGs have kept the majority of their 2005 D2 premiership side, with skipper Chris Stinchcombe the only major departure . On the other hand, the Bullants have recruited well, and new CHB Steven Miller is one to watch, as is the returning Kain Burridge while veteran star Greg Chivers looks set for another big season . Another difficult tip, but I fancy the Bullants in a tight one .

24 速 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

Welcome back to the land of F-Troop, the mighty Stationmasters and Getta Brain. After several years of wandering and wondering aimlessly I've decided to accept the kind invitation of the VAFA Politburo and put manus to mouse once again . Over the course of the season we'll analyse the current fixture, take the occasional trip down memory lane, celebrate the great game that is ammo footy, invite input from the readership and run a few competitions and giveaways. Naturally a splash of political and social comment may be read from time to time - stay tuned .

Thank Goodness for April and the Ammos ! !

March in Melbourne is so full of hype and hoopla -I got over the Commonwealth Games when they were held in Cardiff. Who do your barrack for ? Jana or Tamsyn ? Well both would run good water . Then I got a trough invite to Big Ronnie's Slot Cars . Mark Webber's got a nice line in jaws but he's like those ammo teams who finish 5`h to 8' each year, avoiding relegation but not really threatening the silverware . A dash of Little Leyton , a desh of Bangla cricket and the dosh-fuelled extravaganza that is AFL got us through Lent to the week when Michael Sholly takes over from Johnny So as the go to man in Melbourne . Some clubs are preparing to unfurl the hard-earned flags of 2005, others are digging deep to prove that relegation means springback rather than slide . Coaches and recruiters cross fingers that March champions can actually play under pressure . Robert Doyle is inundated with invites to speak to leadership groups. Club presidents pack their water bottles, twin calicos, sirens, scorecards, runners tops and whistles knowing someone won't turn up . A Benny Goodman protd c holds the ball aloft and a thousand snags settle on the hot plate. I love the ammos ! !

by Jono Heai y A welcome to all clubs for this new season . All clubs start the year on a level playing field so good luck to all clubs in their quest to win the D2 Premiership . My predicted ladder for the end of the season is : Aquinas Peninsula Oakleigh Salesian Williamstown GYM S Werribee Glen Eira La Trobe Ivanhoe Assumption St John's For those teams that I have predicted to make the finals, good luck and for those that I have tipped to miss the finals, this is your chance to prove me wrong . On to this week's games : Ivanhoe Assumption AFC ($2 .40) v Aquinas OC ($1 .50) Ivanhoe Assumption will be looking to start off the new season with a win at home against an Aquinas team which was relegated from D1 last season . The Hoes have lost some experienced players in the off season with Chris Tucker, Doni Valkanis and Richard Peoples all hanging up the boots . New coach John Garrard will be hoping for another good season from skipper Paul Harris, and other senior players such as Galloway, O'Dwyer and Peggie . Aquinas can be expected to put in a strong showing here with Brown, Davies and Olarenshaw all ready for the new season . Aquinas by 35 points .

Glen Eira AFC ($1 .75) v Peninsula OB ($1 .95 ) The Pirates travel up Nepean Highway to Packer Park to take on Glen Eira in what should be a closely fought contest . Reed Powney has been good for the Pirates during the pre season and he will be closely watched by the Saints . Glen Eira are looking at playing a more attacking brand of football this year and the hard working Alex Tsirogiannis will again be one of the players to keep an eye on for Glen Eira . Peninsula to win by 3 points .

Salesian AFC ($1 .55) v La Trobe University AFC ($2 .30) This should be an interesting clash at Bosco Street

between two of last years middle of the table clubs . La Trobe have had a big pre-season and new coach Zora n Colovic will go into this game full of confidence .

Salesian will be hoping for another good season from Downey and the pint sized Bonnicci . Salesian to win a close contest by 11 points .

St John's OC ($1 .80) v Williamstown GYMS ($1 .90 ) I am not sure if too many of the Willy boys will have ever been to Doveton, but the Joc's do play Thomas Carroll Reserve very well and this should be a closely fought encounter. Willy have class players at their disposal with the Hynes brothers, Timmy Wheeler and Shaun 'Lewfatt' McGuiness . With Brendan Cocks set to go around for another season they will surely be one of the front runners this season . St John's pace around the ground is their forte, and youngster Aaron Abela can show flashes of brilliance up forward . It will be interesting to see if veteran Steve Koppens goes around for another season for the Joc's or have his knees finally given way?

St John's by 2 points .

Oakleigh AFC ($1 .40) v Werribee AFC ($2.70 ) A tough match here for newly promoted Werribee, heading to Scammell Reserve to face Oakleigh . The Tigers will be looking for another good year from the Lee brothers, but Oakleigh will be a tough test for them first up. New coach David Gately will have the Oakleigh boys ready for round one with Trevor Bromley firing and ready to go after his broken wrist last season . Youngster Mick Harold's form during the pre-season has been outstanding for Oakleigh and he can be expected to have a big season . Oakleigh by 25 points.

® THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006 33

CEO Phil Stevens heralded the new season after the longest lay off (8 months) in living memory due to the impact on fixtures of the Olympic Games in the previous year. The umpires' uniforms were to have a "splash" of colour added and would wear numbers on their back consistent with his/her name in the Amateur Footballer each week . There were fresh faces at the top of the VAFA Executive with Richard Evans the new VAFA President and Bruce McTaggart the new Chairman of the Executive . The Old Xaverians would have the chance to win their seventh consecutive A Section flag and therefore stand alone with the record (Uni Blacks also six consecutive A Section flags) .

A Section coaches were Simon Dalrymple (Marcellin), Luke Soulos (MHSOB), David Murray (Mazenod), Dale Tapping (Old Brighton), Brendon Mason (Old Scotch), Leigh Carlson (Old Trinity), Tim O'Shaughnessy (Old Xaverians), Garry Foulds (St Bemards), Mike McArthur-Allen (St Kevins) and Lee Adamson (Uni Blues) .

Well the Xavs did not start the new season as hoped when they went down to Old Scotch 10 .4 to 13 .10 . Better players ; Blood, Coughlan, Mitchell (4), Orlando, Woodruff, Ford (Xavs) and Crowe, Finocchiaro, Kitchen, Crane, Nettleton, Hawkins (7) for Scotch .

The two "new chums" to B Section, Therry and Beaumaris, had a great tussle at the seaside suburb before Beauy steadied in the last quarter to win 10 .12 to 9 .6 . Nicholson, Boctor, Catlin (3), Edge, Buller and L Atkins started their season very well for Beaumaris . Goodwin (6), Boyle, Taylor, Nancarrow, Elliott and Grant were Therry's best .

The, season opened with A Section grand finalists from 1995, Old Xavs and Uni Blues,

both losing to Old Melburnians and Old Scotch respectively .

Ormond, third in 95 also suffered defeat at the hands of Old Haileyburians . In B Section MHSOB had a pleasing win over Old Ivanhoe, 15 .18 to 10 .7, and went to the top of the ladder . Glover kicked 6 for High and was backed up by Harrison, Harries, Pertzel, Bamert (3) and Beazley . Old Ivanhoe's best were Tully, Veale, Donaldson, Weddle, Pappas and Power whilst McLean bagged 5 .

Chris `D .C .' Kenny became the second player to record 300 games for St Leos after starting in the U13's in 75 . D .C . enjoyed 7 premierships over the journey and was a tower of strength for his club in the ruck .

Umpires Corner was written by Steve McCarthy and Anthony Damen . Macca and AD were pleased to announce the transition of Leah Gallagher from successful boundary umpire to the field job . (Leah has continued to develop over the past decade into a very competent field ump and is now in the top sections - GR) .

With four Under 19 Sections the VAFA were justifiably proud of the number of `junior' teams adding to the great spectacle of ammo footy every weekend . Old Xaverians in the top junior section gave an indication of their club's growing strength with a first up win over St Bernards, 29 .29 to 4 .7 . Best players Tucker, Hede, Barrett (9), Donati (4), Nisbet, Hilbert (Xavs) and Loughlan, Ferns, Ballerin, Swan, Cusack and Nutter (St Bernards) .

VAFA President, John Dillon welcomed new clubs St Andrews, St Leonards OC and Whitefriars OC to compete in E Section senior and reserve grades . He also welcomed Eltham

34 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

OC and GTV9 into G Section where it was not mandatory to have reserves .

Cooney, J Gregory, C Mahon, C Price, Dillon and Denning for Marcellin .

Ormond, at home, unfurled their 1985 A Section pennant but the party turned sour when Caulfield Grammarians completely overwhelmed the reigning premiers 15 .10 to 6 .24 . A Section scribe, Ross Booth, reported thus "Ormond kicked 1 .11 with the breeze in a disastrous third term but taking nothing away from Greg Tootell's Caulfield, they outran, out marked and out bustled the `Monds on their own small Gunn Reserve" . Best players McClelland, Nalder, Hart, Collett, Stone, Matthews (Caulfield) McCooke, Kingston, P McDonald, Burke, C Tonkin, P Merhten (Ormond) .

George McTaggart, writing the forward to The Amateur Footballer, announced that for the second time in four years, the VAFA had been forced to vacate its central ground, the latest blow being the loss of the St Kilda Cricket Ground . The St Kilda Cricket Club had opted to allocate VFA club, Sandringham, the use of their ground for their nine home matches .

George reminded everyone to work harder toward gaining a permanent home ground for the VAFA .

The Tribunal experienced a very long evening resulting in no less than 26 players found guilty of 30 offences totaling 78 matches . Was this a record and if so not an enviable one? No doubt this fact would have been on the agenda for the next VAFA Executive meeting !

Five of the previous season's premiers were beaten and Collegians' 7 goal opening burst took them to victory over Uni Blacks 14 .12 to 11 .14 in A Section . Best for Collegians - C Roach, McKenzie (4), Ferguson, Lucas, G Tweddle and Tucker. Best for Blacks - Len., a Patterson, Tuck, McLeod, Shackleton and Kirsonovs .

The season opened in excellent conditions resulting in some huge scores being recorded and 57 teams of the total 140 kicked in excess of 100 points . Reservoir Old Boys' juniors kicked a record score in the under 19 competition against Kew, 55 goals 29 behinds .

The previous record, achieved a decade earlier, was Commonwealth Bank's 52 .29 against the Army Apprentices' juniors . For Reservoir Romeo amassed 18 majors and McGaw 14 . In comparison Truefeldt and Traynor had `quiet' games with 6 and 5 goals respectively .

Army Apprentices School, making their debut in the Association, defeated ToorongaMalvern in Junior Section 2 - 18 .26 to 8 .6 .

Reigning premiers in A Section, St Bernards, unfurled their flag and dealt with Uni Blacks comfortably 17 .17 to 12 .16 . Best players King, Drennan, Wade, McNamee, Santamaria and Mahoney (St Bernards) and Clarke, Dynon, McKinnon, Burne, Moffat (4) and Cusack (Uni Blacks) .

Closest game in B Section was Old Scotch 13 .14 against Marcellin's 12 .15 . Purnell, D Beaurepaire, Johnstone, Hinrichson, Mason and Hamilton were best for Scotch and

The "Olympic" Season commenced on April 21 and A Section welcomed Coburg and Old Scotch who took the place of Commonwealth Bank and MHSOB . Coburg started their season very confidentially and defeated Ivanhoe's, 13 .7 to 9 .9 . Brian Brady and Ray Pettigrove were named as best players for Coburg . Scotch were less fortunate and went down to Uni Blues 5 .9 to 10 .18 .

In B Section the promoted teams, East Malvern and Brunswick, stated their season on a high . Brunswick accounted for Commonwealth Bank 8 .7 to 4 .11 and East Malvern won by 32 points against MHSOB .

East Malvern congratulated their "new lads" Graeme Compton, Neil Scott, Don Moss and Sid Myers (5 goals) .

Hello and welcome to what promises to be a very evenl y contested year for D3 . I will try to be informative and entertaining in my articles this year, but I can only do thi s with help from you the reader . So please, if you hav e anything you want to say, please do not hesitate by emailing me at gavanf!ower@hotmai! .com and I will be happy to include your views .

2006 prediction s I am going out on a!imb and predicting the final ladder here, and this is without any contact from Bentleigh, South Melbourne, St .Mary's Swinburne or Kew .

Hopefully your contributions pick up during the season!

Many pundits are predicting that Bentleigh is a lay-down massaire to win the flag and go straight back up, however, I am not so sure . I know for a fact Westbourne has had a huge influx of players and with a new coach and new clubrooms and ground, they are looking strong .

I also heard from one of my spies at Kew that they had picked up a solid bunch from Banyule and they are a good thing .

On the flip side, my buddies down at West Brunswick have been crying poor and playing down their chances .

On this, there may be some truth with them losing the likes of their skipper Benji as well as star onballer Heck Hamilton, however, the influx of players from the nearby colleges will ensure they will be more than competitive .

The D4 premiers Elsternwick are also a side that is going along nicely at the minute, and with a big preseason developing their fitness, they are certainly one of the sides to beat. I also expect South Melbourne to be up there amongst the throws of the top sides, however, consistency may again be the difference between them being finalists or also-rans .

The dark horses of the competition will undoubtedly be the Gryphons . My mate Matt Healy informs me that once again there are more players on the track than people who missed out on World Cup tickets, however, whether there are any diamonds in the rough remains to be seen .

Swinburne, by all accounts is down and almost out . With two men and a dog on the training track, and some talk of the club wanting to go into Club 18, it appears as though playing the Razorbacks could well be a Claytons Bye this year.

The Saints apparently have also recruited well and have some good practice match form, though I think they may struggle making the transition .

Which brings me to my mates down at UHS-VU . Many within the club had already written the lads off, however,

I have heard this before and will have nothing of it .

While they are unlikely to challenge the top two, I think they will surpris e many with new coach Glenn Taylor at the helm and veterans like Cracknell, Gorringe and Langers back to ful! fitness .

So my ladder prediction is ; 1 . Bentleigh 2 . Old Westbourne 3 . South Melbourne 4 . Elsternwick 5 . Kew 6 . West Brunswick 7 . Monash Gryphons 8 . UHS-VU 9 .

St.Marys 10 . Swinburn e Preview The match of the round to me is the road-trip for Old Westbourne to Kew . One could say that an almost traditional rivalry is forming between these two clubs with some great wins by both teams against each other over the past two years as well as the now infamous Warrior player-list being made public from within Kew's ranks . For my winner, I am sticking with the home side as coach Doherty refines his Warrior commentary that will be posted on the internet by 6pm Saturday night!

Another interesting tussle will be between D3 newcomers Bentleigh and West Brunswick. The violins are still playing for the Pies as they have lost a number of their 2005 stars, however, with the prodigal son returning to coach the twos in John Curtin, the club's spirits will be at an all time high . While I think this will be a lot closer than many people expect, I am sticking with Bentleigh to bring home the bacon.

It is the meeting of the minds as university sides Monash and UHS-VU crunch their numbers and polish their beakers in a match that both will be keen to get a result in . Very hard to make a call on the result given the huge influx of players to both clubs, however, I will listen to the doomsayers at the land of the brown and tan for the moment and pick the Gryphons to open their 2006 account.

The Saints host South Melbourne in a match that St.Marys will be confident to get a win in . On the small confines of Ferndale Park coach Michael Learmonth will most likely try to choke the drive of the Swannies running brigade . For my pick though, I am sticking with South to give the Saints a taste of D3 reality .

In the final match, it is Elsternwick hosting Swinburne in what will be a lopsided affair. The goal umpires had better warm up with the players as their arms will be waving for most of the day when the Wickers go straigh t

36 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

to the top of the class with a percentage boosting win .

Press Correspondents : As I said earlier, the response to the opening round was pretty ordinary . Hopefully this picks up next week.

Please send your comments, reports or criticisms to gavanflower@hotmail .com by no later than midday on Monday .

U") fl] r ~ '~~ r, ~[ E R

by Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallaghe r

We're bac k For the clubs, it's time to answer all those questions .

Can Xavs do it again? Can Uni Blacks take the next step? Are Fitzroy Reds the real deal? Can OGs get back to C? Can the Pirates finally get up there? Can the Wickers continue their barnstorming run? Can Syndal Tally Ho celebrate their 40th anniversary with a flag?

For us umpires, the pre-season is over, it's time to forget about the times we ran in our 800's or 400's around Elsternwick Park. Let's change the shape and concentrate on running the diamond . What a long preseason it's been with our training supervisor Rob Sneddon not letting up again in his torture of us . But he made it fun by putting us in groups to build team spirit .

But of course umpires in teams just bring out that ugly competitive nature which could have had most of us up at the tribunal . The season starts now so let's bring it on! !

Rule One new rule this year, which brings a smile to all the umpires, is the new time for quarters which are now 20min plus time on . The benefit of this is that the aftermatch should start a whole lot earlier and we can still be home at normal time (if the other half doesn't know) .

Can we see the last of the 40min quarters and finishing in the dark? Hopefully, gone will be the thought that bad light could stop play .

Web Sit e We encourage all umpire s to constantly check ou ://www.vafaua.asn rwebsitahfp .au/ Our Webmaste r Tim Sutcliffe has done a fantastic job with this, all information is there if umpires have missed meetings or if we just want to take the mickey out of someone, it's there for all to see .

Should we??

It was 72 years in the making, but should we briefly acknowledge the great premiership win by our beloved Sydney Swans? Considering both scribes are longsuffering supporters of the red and white, of course we will take advantage of the opportunity to gloat in print .

Yes, both scribes had a huge night in Clarendon Street on September 24th, partying hard with another swan in Grant Joyner. Word is, that two of these three have even immortalised the win with some body art .

Goal Umpire Adviso r Congratulations to the newly appointed Goal Umpires Advisor Andrew Barnes and we wish him well in his endeavours to whip the boys into shape considering they come in different shapes . Thanks to Shane Herbert for all his work with the Goalies over the years and welcome him back into the middle of the big sticks.

Happy Bi rt hday As most clubs would know by now, a third card has been introduced for the umpires to use this year. We now have the yellow, red and black cards . In an Elsternwick practice match a couple of weeks ago it appears that a new card was used - the birthday card . Yes, about halfway through the last quarter, veteran (I suppose we can say old) umpire Anthony Damen (and birthday boy) was surprised by a tap on the shoulder after a goal had been kicked . His umpiring partner had run from the centre to hand him a birthday card . Memorable I suppose, and it's the thought that counts . Earlier in the day Anthony also displayed his goal-umpiring prowess after a long goal had the goal umpire retrieving the ball from the Elwood Canal . AD did the right thing and waved the flags for him !

Snake v Umpire Andrew Barnes over the summer break had an up close and personal encounter with a snake (we believe a tiger snake) . After a short stay in hospital the snake was released with no side effects and returned home to his family. Andrew was seen slithering away and found basking in the sun on a rock wearing no clothes .

Recruitment For any players out there who may have found the preseason too long and painful (and you realise you just can't do it anymore), it's not too late for a career change .

Yes, the legs will get a work-out, but you won't suffer the physical body torture of a footballer. If you wish to join our ranks call Brian Goodman at the VAFA on 9531 8333 .

The start of every football season brings on th e usual amount of cliches attached to our wonderfu l game .

0 e week at a time, happy to get the four points, it s all about process etc are sure to get plenty of airtime from the various football folk this week and no doubt well into the year . It would be easy to declare the D4 report cliche free however we can't so we won't !

Team Reviews : Albert Park High profile recruitment of Peter Bedford will ensure that finals are on their mind .

Box Hill Nth Street tip to be the big improvers . Had a great start to 2005 before injury cut short their momentum . Will be eyeing a top four position Bulleen Top two finish before going out in straight sets come finals time . Very difficult to see why they wont be around the mark again .

Eley Park certainly the hardest side to get a marker on . After a few years with the 'clubbies' they have rebuilt two sides . Keep safe .

Eltham At times last year looked world beaters . A change in coaching staff may assist in delivering the potential to results Hawthorn A slow start to 2005 before a great 11 game streak saw them finals bound . Anything less would be a disappointment in 2006 .

North Brunswick Disappointing year in 2005 and looking to strike back this year . Another proud club that will be looking for rebound action in 2006 Power House One of the VAFA feature clubs who will not enjoy the drop to D4 . Plenty of word around that the recruiting of a star forward should install them as favourite s Richmond Tough few years for the Richmond boys with 2006 very much a rebuilding year . A few steps in the right direction in 2005, hopefully this can continue in 200 6 Syndal Tally Ho Another side for whom the drop will be a bitter pill to swallow . History suggest they always respond well to such a drop and will be a difficult proposition in 2006

This week's Matches : Eley Park host Eltham in a difficult one to judge . The Sharks are hard to get a form lin e through whilst th e Turtles often take a little while to get going . Thinking that the Turtles might be the improvers, so will take them in round 1 Box Hill North welcomes Hawthorn . The Hawks won both games comfortably last year and with a good pre-season under their belt should win first up Richmond travel to Bulleen hoping for a good hit out first up . I fancy the Bulleen boys to be in the thick of things all year and hard too see them dropping this one .

The two returnees clash when Syndal pop down the road to take on Power House . The clubs have built up quite a rivalry in past years however if in doubt, go with home ground advantage . The House for me .

Finally, Albert Park plays a 'home' game at North Brunswick down at Sportscover Arena . Both sides would have been disappointed with 2005 . Not sure about this one at all . Perhaps North Brunswick .

Premiers? Bulleen might be the one this year whilst "Big" Dan Lauletta is favourite to go back to back in B+F stakes .

Looking for some great support from the clubs as they use this report to aid their branding process .

Would love to hear regularly from all the 10 clubs via ed .sill@locker.com .au or else 0418 348 723 .

Under 19-1 Another year dawns upon us and yet again , another JS McCann trophy is up for grabs . It seems like yesterday that we waved foot y goodbye and mad Monday hello . But now it's time to say goodbye to the summer of love and hello boys .

U19 section 1, "is it good footy?" a colleague once asked . Just as sure as Uni Blues legend Frank Hennigan will show up for another preseason of running, "my oath it is, some of the best you will see", I sternly replied .

Who will be the premier, who will be the fizzer, and who will be the team that just does not deliver?

These questions will be answered over the next 22 weeks, but while I'm at it, lets try to shed some light on it now .

What's hot ?

Marcellin - 10 goal drubbing of Collegians in 2005 Grand Final . Enough said Banyule-Viewbank - 2003 U19 Red Premiers, 2005 U19 Section2 Premiers, 2006 U19 Section 1 . . . . . . . . join the dots, it's not that hard !

What's not ?

Uni Blues - Been so promising over the past two years, but failed to secure a top two finish . Bring back the halcyon days . Plenty to choose from down there at the Uni, is the coach feeling the pressure to deliver?

Old Xavs - Last Grand Final berth in 2001 . Surely a powerhouse team deserves better.

Underachieving at U19 level in recent history? I think so .

Predicted ladder after the home and away seaso n Old Xavs will return former glory to their club . A strong win over Marcellin in pre-season will ensure a tough fight at the top . Rupertswood may find the going tough in Div 1, as will Old Scotch

and St Bernard's. No surprise to see the crazy bears and De La Salle in the uppe r echelon, whil e Collegians, Uni Blues and St Kevin's will make up the numbers .

Marcellin Old Xaverians Banyule - Viewbank De La Salle Collegians Uni Blues St Kevins Rupertswood Old Scotch St Bernard s All the best this weekend lads . You have worked long and hard for this day .

My selections this week are De La Salle, St Kevins, Marcellin, Xavs and Collegians .

I will be relying heavily on feedback this year .

Please contact me with any correspondence, best players and opinions . Until next week . . . . . .happy punting . beatonc@tabcorp .com .a u

Under 19- 2 Round 1 is but a heartbeat away and the smell of 'deep heat' and `wil grip' intoxicate the senses of players and fans all over Melbourne . Footy is back, and months of hard work can finally be put into play as fresh legs and enthusiasms take the field .

Three new teams enter, ready to stake their claim in this always unpredictable section. The word around the water-cooler is that the Panthers are front runners with Caulfield, the Wellers and Brighton all in strong contentio n The Fields host last year's Section 3 premiers, Old Parade. After their triumph, coach Spinner ha s

48 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

been left with a young and inexperienced list, hoping to rebuild a fresh competitive spirit, while Caulfield should consider themselves a top 4 side .

The home side by 4 goals .

The Sharks need a big year after finishing seventh . They play a Blacks side on the way up with all the pride they can muster on and off the field . But, the Sharks should give the newbies a tough introduction to section 2 footy . Sharks by 3 goals .

Old Brighton will be fuming at their relegation, and unfortunately for Old Melburnians, the Tonners will surely be aiming to stamp their dominance in the comp, showing the rest where they've come from and how they plan to return .

Brighton by 46 points .

Old Camberwell have had strong performances in practice matches, however all wins were against sides in lower divisions, so their strength will be tested when they meet the Friars, who I'm also told have had a strong summer .

The Wellers in the round's closest showdown .

Old Trinity last season's under-achievers, host Old Carey, who after a poor finals performance last year, will be hoping new coach "Butch" Palmer can lead the Panthers to a premiership . Trinity will run out of legs and it'll be the visitors by 7 goals .

Under 19- 3 The Commonwealth Games have been and gone, the Grand Prix party has packed up and left our shores and the Melbourne International Flower and Garden show has been dug up and planted elsewhere, which leaves us with one thing on our minds . . .footy. Three new teams enter Section 3, with Emmaus St Leos (Red Premiers), Ormond (Blue Premiers) and Old Essendon (2) joining the tilt for the premiership .

The most anticipated match of Round 1 comes in the form of newcomers Emmaus playing host to last year's runner-up Oakleigh in what should be a cracking affair. Emmaus may have only lost one game for the entire 2005 season, but I am tipping Oakleigh, my early premiership favourite, to win this encounter by two straight kicks .

Old Ivanhoe will be looking to improve on last season's mid-table performance and with Coach Brad Shadbolt reporting good numbers and solid pre-season form, they may be this year's big

improvers . They face the tough task of St . Bedes Mentone first-up, and in what should be a close affair, the home ground advantage should see the Hoers get up by 10 points .

Newcomers Ormond will be looking to get their campaign off to a flyer and should easily account for Ajax by six goals as they are a formidable opponent at home, while both Old Essendon and Bentleigh will battle it out at Essendon Grammar School . Old Essendon were the whipping boys of Section 2 last year, however, with a new coaching structure in place and many new players to boot, they should be far more competitive . In this toss of the coin affair, I will stick with Bentleigh by 25 points, preferring to wait and see what Old Essendon put together.

New La Trobe Uni Coach Martin De Bono brings an impressive CV to the club, indicating he wants a committed, fit and successful U19 side this season . I expect La Trobe to finish around midtable depending on the miracles De Bono can work, however, they face a very competitive Melbourne High team first-upand I think the Old Boys might have Uni's measure early in the season . Melbourne High by 30 points .

Under 19 Blu e While we are a bit behind our AFL counterparts, season 2006 could not have come quick enough, and I am looking forward to a Round 1 which will be tougher to pick than a Makybe Diva-less Melbourne Cup .

Four newcomers in Section Blue make it a difficult to draw a line through the competition so early in the season, however, Mazenod and Salesian look like the teams to beat . Mazenod should account for newcomers Monash Blues (3) away at Uni first-up by 34 points, while Salesian tackle an unknown quantity in the newly formed Old Mentonians, with the Panthers fielding an U19 team for the first time . Salesian by 28 points .

The match that creates a lot of interest will see Hampton host De La Salle, with both teams looking to better last year's performance . Both teams are reported to have had solid preseasons, however, Rovers led by Skipper Lee Smith should have the wood over De La in this encounter winning by 33 points .

Parkdale Vultures are back in the U19 competitio n

速 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006 49

since their hiatus after the 2003 season, and should be looking to start their campaign with a win over last year's cellar dwellers Oakleigh Clayton . The Oakleigh Clays will be looking for a marked improvement but might find the Vultures are tough task in Round 1 . Parkdale by 22 .

Powerhouse have merged with South Mornington to form an U19 team this season and they take on the Old Haileyburians, a match that has sent me reaching for the Tarot cards . I believe Powerhouse/South Mornington will win their inaugural match by 13 points, however, more will be known about both teams come Round 2 .

Any match reports, club news please feel free to send me information to ai_vafaQhotmail .co m Under 19 Re d With the promotion of Emmaus St . Leos, Section Red will see three clubs vying for that elusive top position .

The first is Kew, who after an impressive first season in Red are front runners . They travel to Old Westbourne, who over the last two seasons have occupied the middle ground in Red and will need to break this hoodoo before September . Kew by a couple of straight kicks .

Second is Bulleen Templestowe . The perennial slow starters this year have done a hard summer and picked up some strong juniors . Round one sees them packing the proverbial overnight bag and heading out to Rupertswood, who after a successful 04 season slumped to the bottom of the table last year. Bullants by 53 points .

Thirdly, last year's finalists Aquinas, host Fitzroy who until recently were the trend setters in the comp . Aquinas have had strong prakies against EFL sides, while the Reds have played section 2 contenders, Old Camberwell, so both teams will be well tested for the opening tussle which will see the Reds just beaten over the line .

In the round's final match, the Old Xavs return to Section RED, to field their second Under 19's squad after a year in the wilderness, travelling out to Therry Penola . The Xavs will be too strong for the Lions by 32 points .

North Old Boys in their merger with St . Patrick's Ballarat, also re enter the comp, opening the account with four points as the BYE rears its ugly head yet again .

n Winning Edge Presentations

by Norm Nugen t

Another season ; we farewell two teams ; say hello to two new competitors; welcome back a former stalwart and express good wishes to our new editor.

Little is known of Club XV111 form so my selections are made without confidence and probably will not help me defend "Kate's Kup" or should that be "Balme's Basin ? " Section 1 Old Scotch, who have a reputation of being slow starters, will prove competitive against reigning premiers St Kevin's, who nevertheless should have enough skill to take the points.

Mazenod, under a new club coaching regime . welcome debutants, St Bede's Mentone Tigers to Central Reserve .

Mazenod were competitive in 2005 and today I expect they will prove too experienced for the newcomers .

Last season's disappointments are now behind University Blues, who are confident of success under their new coach, Andrew Waxman . The Students today meet Section 2 reigning premiers, Old Xaverians 2, who may be short on numbers with the resurrection of their second Under 19 side . I expect a tight contest and given the editor's instruction to be daring, I select University Blues to win .

Perennial finalists, Prahran and De La Salle meet on their mutual home ground, Darling Park . No doubt the aging Prahran players will again be competitive and anxious to fulfill their potential . However they meet a determined De la Salle anxious to regain lost prestige as they missed the finals in 2005 for the second consecutive season . I reckon on a De La Salle victory through their superior match fitness .

Old Melburnians have experienced little success against Old Xaverians for many seasons and today I cannot see the situation changing as the Xaverians will be determined to regain their justly won reputation as the competition trend setters .

Section 2 Old Brighton Grammarians will appreciate their home ground advantage over Fitzroy Reds, who have never played on Brighton Beach Oval . The Reds will be keen but the locals will take the four points .

Newly promoted Whitefriars make the long journey west to play Therry Penola, whose record at home until recently was excellent. Reports filtering through indicate

Whitefriars will be 1 i strong so I will select them, as Therry Penola will need to improve markedly on their 2005 form .

Marcellin should have the advantage of preseason practice and experience of playing together over Monash Blues, many of whose players are now in the veteran stage and whose replacements are not yet integrated into the team . Marcellin to start with a victory.

To select the winner of the Mt Lilydale and University Blacks game is a monumental task . Mt Lilydale have returned to their school site under a new mentor, following their peripatetic experiences of 2005 . when despite their lack of success and a home, they gave several creditable performances . The Blacks face the longest trip of the season, with many new players and although their club is riding on the crest of a wave of success, I suspect they will lower their colours to Mt Lilydale today .

St Bernards, who return to the competition after a five season hiatus, welcome Collegians, who just missed a final's berth in 2005 . I select St Bernards purely because of the daunting task facing visiting teams at West Essendon .

Section 3 Emmaus St Leos, who just missed the four last season, should start with a win over the newly amalgamated North Old Boys/ St Patrick's Ballarat. The new side will be enthusiastic but judged on the numbers appearing at training as shown on the club website, they could well be short on personnel . Also having to travel to Bennettswood is not an easy task for newcomers to the inner urban areas . Emmaus St Leos should win well .

C .P.Snow (and Peter Hille) would view the Old Geelong and Fitzroy Reds game as a clash of the "Two Cultures" .

Old Geelong have never shown the consistency needed to feature in the finals (since V.A .F.A. affiliation), whereas Fitzroy Reds finished third last season . The Reds will miss Tony Jackson, but they should prove too strong for Old Geelong .

Two of last season's finalists, Caulfield Grammarians and Old Scotch meet at Glenhuntly. Despite their disappointing end to 2005 and minus some veterans, I believe Caulfield will be strong enough to win this game .
