SECOND SEMI FINAL - REVIE W De La Salle surprised a lot of judges, myself included, when they ran away from PJcth Old -_~ys in the final quarter of the second semi last Sunday atthe Park and now progress to the BIG ONE and await their next opponent .

Another near-perfect day for Finals footy and the ground looked terrific with some overnight rain just sprucin g up the surface and giving the right amount of softness to the centre square . An unusual southerly breeze of 2-3 goals favoured the Glenhuntly Road end ; in September any wind of strength normally comes from the north . De La reserves played successfully in the earlier game and therefore the club was forced to tip its hand to North with its team selections . Not that much can be done atthe last minute, but North pride itself on their pre-match preparation so every little bit helps, I guess.

The conditions were expected to suit the marking strength and foot-passing skill of North but De La coach B ernie Dunn had obviously decided on a game plan to keep the ball moving quickly by hand to counter North's skill areas . There were shades of the famed De La style of the mid 70's and early 80's with an almost manic obsession to play on and handball and the game was kept very tight with neither side breaking much into the open spaces .

At times De La over-did the handball and ran into trou ble much to the anguish of their vocal supporters but they were nullifying N orth's aerial strength . Both sides were forced into turnovers by the constant harassment and it was not a high standard game in the first half, as is often the case when so much is at stake .

With the wind advantage De La kicked 3 .1 but North had worked well with 2 .4 to only trail by 3 pts at the first break. Bernie Dunn exhorted his players to use more handball through the centre of the ground and although some spectators many have queried his tactics, it was clearly designed to make his players run even harder which they did and North failed to effect a counter to the De La style. Roger Pre zens was very much on top in the centre for the D's maintaining his excellent form over the past 2 weeks and De La looked dangerous every time they went forward .

Darren M artin had been on top in the ruck for North early but De La through both Andrew Ronchi and Pat O'Callaghan began to offset NOB's ruck ascendancy and as they did the De La small men started to come into the game around the packs. De La kicked 4.2 into the breeze whilst North could only manage 3.2 with it and the half time margin of 9 pts to De La contained a message to Robert Hyde and his team that they would have to dramatically lift their game if they were to get on top .

North had not played well but that's a bit unfair to the good performance by De La and their team discipline to stick to a carefully thought-out match plan . The second half opened with North players obviously responding to a serve by the coach and they were much more committed to out-playing their opponents . Their work-rate lifted appreciably and they out-scored De La kicking 3 .5 into the breeze whilst De La scored 2 .5 to the end one would have thought most of the goals would be scored at . North seemed to have more of the ball and probably wasted some great opportunities to ram on some vitally needed goals . By contrast De La had to work hard to score but to their credit they hung in there leading at the final change by 3 pts .

Despite what some wise men might now claim after the event no one really expected what the last quarter was to bring . In fact, it was felt by some judges that N orth were back in the game having moved up a gear and with the wind at their backs would come home very strongly. Suddenly, the game moved completely into another phase and De La opened with a wonderful lifting goal and then proceeded to carve up N orth with a sensational quarter offooty. Having only kicked 9 .8 for 3 quartersthe D's went on a rampage booting 11 .4astheylef wondering where the 2nd Semi went to . It was a totally unexpected change to the game, although no doubt the ue La camp had confidence in their players . But to not only match it with the season pace-setters and then to finish so strongly over the top of them, belies any of the form shown by the 2 respective teams throughout the season . Although North managed 4 .4 they were more face-saving scores than anything else and a definite winning margin of 45 pts stamped De La as now the side to beat for the 91 flag .

The fascinating feature of the day saw 20 goals kicked to the scoreboard end and only 12 kicked to the end decidedly favoured by a 2-3 goal wind . Such is the nature of football at Headquarters in finals time . Bernie Dunn and his panel are to be rightly congratulated for taking his team into their first A Section Grand Final since 1985 and for overcoming an opposition that had beaten his team in both encounters throughout the season . He and his players correctly learnt from those losses and were not overawed by North's very impressive home and away record . For De La young R oger Prezens stamped himself on the game with a great display in the centre, and De La won well across the important centre line with Chris Belleville on a wing, and A ndrew M ackintosh on a wing and at FB both playing terrific games . Brett Mahony was a very good rover in the second half .

North had few players playing up to their expected level . N ic k Garnham ( BP), Stephen M oloney (RR) and Brian Hanlon (HF) were 3 who did play well . The lack of a productive forward line stood out with top scorer being rover G erard Phyland who kicked 4 goals and gave good service.

PR E LI M I NA RY FI N AL - PRE VIE W (Sunday, September 15th ) The 2 big questions : "How good is Scotch?" and, "Can the season top side North bounce back?" will be answered today in this cut throat Preliminary final .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1991

There is no doubt, it was a very disappointed North Old Boys club following last Sunday's dismal fade out in the last quarter. The true test of any quality side is the ability to rebound from the previous week's poor performance .

Whether North possess that quality under finals' pressure is yet to be answered . They showed throughout the season that they had the players to perform at a very high level . Their new home ground, Brunswick, proved to be the downfall of every other A Grade side, EXCEPT SCOTCH, who inflicted their only home ground lost for the season . To win 15 games and finish 18 pts ahead of the second placed team, De La, clearly indicates North's true ability. However, they have not played overly well in the last few weeks leading into the finals .

Scotch have exceeded their expectations so far . Only 4 weeks ago Bryan Gibbs thought they would finish fifth or sixth rather than dramatically grab a finals berth at the death knock . Since then the Scotch stocks have soared with their impressive performance in disposing of last seasons' premiers, Ormond . I noticed the North brains trust busily observing the Scotch performance in the first semi, although I suspect they did not expect to have to meetthem before the Grand Final . There is no doubt Scotch are on a "roll" and their enthusiasm and momentum will be hard to contain .

North's weakness in their armoury has been a lack of pace and this is where Scotch have turned up trumps .

Tom Keipert, Gavin Eagle, Steve Reddish and Ed Allen showed a clean pair of heels to their Ormond counterparts .

Their pace and stamina will be a big advantage on the expanses of EP . North's defence have had the lowest number of points kicked against them of any side in A Section but I have a feeling that it is here, through the likes of Andrew Millar, Rohan Aujard and M ark Brady that the Scotch team can exploit the North defence. Last week North did look a little brittle when faced with a De La surge from the mid field as the last quarter showed .

North's forward setup failed to function efficiently against De La with their rover Gerard Phyland being the major goal scorer and a lot more will be expected of captain Tony Egan and the talented Steve Brazil at CHF. Paul Kearney has been a very effective foil for North this season in the FP but he was well held last week and taken from the ground late in the game. The contest at CHF of Brazil versus Duncan M cCall will be a highlight as both are talented markers of the ball with Brazil more mobile and very dangerous if allowed too much of the ball . North will be expecting more from big man Darren Martin who played well early but faded . He is an agile player and is crucial to North's chances in giving plenty of the ball to Stephen Moloney and Brian Hanlon .

Scotch coach Peter Sherwen will be keeping his young players minds on the game and not allowing them to get carried away with their success so far. Robert Hyde for North is now faced with a big coaching challenge .

Whilst no doubt pointing out the short-comings in their game last week, he now needs to build them up and restore the confidence that was decidedly damaged by the final quarter avalanche last Sunday . It is a fine line coaches have to tread during finals when things don't go according to plan . He has shown, so far this seson, that he has given his players the team plan to be successful . It is now a matter of adapting that plan to play on the big ground against a side who are young, exuberant and playing without any fear of failure . It is not an easy task, but all North's hopes are now firmly pinned on their players ability to play th eir style of game and not allow Scotch to dictate terms .

It all sounds like North have run their race, and my selections so far in this intriging A Section final series has seen both my tips going down so what sort of judge am I? However, I have a leaning towards Scotch in this game if for no other reason, their timing seems right .

In finals in the other grades, the heavily favoured team throughout the season has gone down, such isthe nature of VAFA footy, and too, the very big difference between the finals and minor rounds . The North camp may use this for motivation but I think the Scotch selectors have found the right combination and the players have the right attitude to take them into a long awaited A Section Grand Final .

Best of luck to both teams.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1991

TODAY'S REVIEW HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY JO HN SI M PSON (BANYULE SENIOR CQE:CH ) The result of Saturday's B Section second semi final was in doubt until the final 30 seconds of the match . Alan Johnson with his side 6 points down produced a bit of magic to burst through a pack and penetrate the St Bernards' defence. His perfectly executed kick for goal seemed certain to secure a draw for Old Trinity . But just as it had done all day the wind intervened and caused his timely shot to miss .

The wind, unfair all day, proved a headache for both coaches, players and spectators alike reducing what had promised to be a great spectacle into a rather scrambling affair .

The first quarter began with Old Trinity having the use of a strong breeze. Johnson had the first kick of the game but whilst long and direct had little purpose and echoed the worries of Old Trinity for the quarter. Trinity seemed intent to kick the ball as long as possible and failed to pick out any one in particular. Dunell had obviously instructed the St Bernards' players to play short, run in numbers, support each other and play the ball as wide as possible to waste valuable time . His instructions were followed to the letter and at the 15 minute mark of the quarter the scores were St Bernards 1 behind to Old Trinity's 3 behinds . Heath, for Trinity, finally goaled at the 16 minute mark and his efforts were followed by a brilliant left foot snap from O'Shaughnessy after he burst from a pack. However, St Bernards persisted and in a brilliant coaching move Dunell was able to maximise the effectiveness of Luke Gollant by playing him across the half forward line into the breeze . Luke's effortss acros this line during the quarter were great and his left handed handball to Nathan enabled St Bernards to score a valuable goal . During the quarter Mulkearns had made a major contribution capitalising on the dominance of Wayne Carey - a dominance that would continue throughout the day.

At the quarter time break Dunell stressed to his players the importance of using vision when using the ball forward .

Early in the quarterthe discipline of the St Bernards' players was high and theyfollowed theircoaches instructions .

Kean playing in front kicked a goal at the 1 minute mark . Comito was using his strength and pace to win the ball out of the centre and Purcell's centring kick to J . Gollant resulted in a goal . But f rom this point St Bernards tended to relax and lose concentration . Trinity capitalised and managed to score into the breeze . O'Shaughnessy, who was proving dangerous whenever the ball came his way, managed to get the ball to Lex Taylor who kicked an inspirational goal . St Bernards squandered many opportunities throughout the quarter and should have gone in at half time with a substantial lead - instead they were only 15 points up and the game remained in the balance - if Old Trinity could capitalise on the breeze and respond to the challenge. Respond they did in emphatic terms with Heath, who was a key forward all day, kicking a goal at the 14 second mark of the quarter after Trinity won the ball from the centre . Trinity peppered the goals but again their poor kicking did not reward their good play .

Their on-bailers had lifted and were giving them much more drive . The Old Trinity players were keeping the ball much lowerwiththe breeze and looking for leading forwards . O'Shaughnessy again kicked a brilliant goal during the quarter to stamp his undoubted class on the game.

At three quarter time Old Trinity had turned a 15 point deficit into a 2 goal lead and their splendid efforts should be congratulated . However, at the final break I felt it would not be enough - especially with the prospect of a strong breeze supplying the cat-like Luke Gollant with opportunities . As the quarter progressed it seemed inevitable that St Bernards would overhaul Old Trinity but their appalling kicking didn't help their cause. Luke Gollant battled for a goal after competing both in the air and on the ground, Purcell followed soon after with a great goal but then followed a succession of poor shots . Finally Jason Gollant, after an earlier miss from a set shot, steered one through to put his side in front . It was the 22 minute mark and the game was seemingly over. However, Old Trinity refused to give in and gamely persisted throwing everything into the lastfew minutes . Unfortunately, 2 things stood in their way, Wayne Carey who continuously punched the ball out of bounds or marked safely and luck - but that's football . In my opinion the scoreboard didn't truly reflect the dominance of St Bernards on the day .

Their best players were easier for me to f ind, with Mulkearns, Purcell, Carey, Fitzpatrick and Gollant prominent all day.

For Old Trinity I was again impressed with the strong Heath and the brilliant O'Shaughnessy, up forward .

I felt Rogers tried hard all day too but felt the rest were rather inconsistent .

Alan Johnson may blame himself unjustly for his near miss late in the game . Instead maybe he should focus the attention of some of his star players who failed to produce in the first quarter when most needed, for it is in this quarter that the game was both won and lost .

PRE VIE W (TOM JOHNSTON) PRELI M INARY FI NAL - VENUE : BRUNSW ICK 14/9/91 The winner of this most important clash will go to A Grade and due to the nature of the competition they could make the Four in A Grade in season 1992 . The loser of this match will be exactly that, a loser, a wasted season to come so far to gain nothing . Who will remember next season who came third in B Section in 1991, only the coach will remember, which coach will this be?

Old Xaverians and Old Trinity have had 1 win apiece on home grounds - 27/4, Trinity 16 .11 .107 defeated Old Xaverians 11 .13 .79 ; 27/7 Old Xaverians 16.15.111 defeated Old Trinity 13.9.87 - the scores from both matches THE AMATEUR FOOTBA LLER

being very similar, so there should not be much in this at the finish, what an afternoon of good football we have in store for us. Old Xaverians have pretty good form going into this match, 6 wins from their last 7 matches, their only loss being to Old M entonians at Mentone, is a handy form . Old Trinity are a real puzzle, after being the early flag favourites, where Trinity notched 10 wins in succession, Trinity's form has dropped away alarmingly, 3 wins from their last 7 matches is hardly inspiring .

Old Xaverians will go into this game as favourites, X avs hard fought win over Banyule, fortnight ago, is just the right build up for a preliminary final . I was very impressed with X avs running back line ofaJamie John McKay and David Doolan, throw in the class of John Dalton and the strength of Michael HolmesPetroff, and Adri n n McCorkell, all in all this reads a match winning defence. Old Trinity's much publicised forwards are not firing as a team, Roger Boxtel, Bob Phillips, David O'Shaughnessy and Rod H eath are just not kicking enough goals as they were earlier in the season, what's gone wrong? Trinity will need these players to lift . Xavs can take control of this match at the centre square . Doug Bailey has had a great season and should be too good either Lex Taylor or Tony Smith . M att Hannebery's duel with Andrew Allibon should be a beauty, both are gunfor players .

M ichael Logan is tough and runs all day . Will Trevor Norman be fit enough to match Logan, much depends on this duel . Xavs' forwards are tall and strong in the air . David Landrigan, Mark Rosel and Paul Connors can take a defence apart, throw in the fixer captain Bill Denton and the classy Bill Mithen and David Taylor and you have a match winning set up . Trinity's Rick and Nick Beardsley with Mike Turner are also tails and all are capable of being match winners . The weakness of Trinity's backline is the half back line, various combinations have been used this season, all to no avail . Xavs' experienced wingers, Damien Stoney and Dermot Dann (who can forget Dermot's fantastic mark in the semi) must not alow Parkes and Dave Rogers to run free, Old Trinity, on their earlier season form, would have been entitled to be warm favourites, they're not Xaverians must play to their very best form IF Xavs are to return to A Grade. IF Xavs get a good start, and. Old here lies Xavs big problem, " IF" - Xavs will win . Trinity's coach, being the professional that Alan Johnson is, will have Trinity readyto pounce on Xavs and exploittheir weakness - Xavs indifferent starts and sometimestheir lack of discipine .

Xavs coach Michael R ush knows Xavs must improve on their first semi final win over Banyule . I think Xavs will improve and win their way to A Grade. Old Xaverians by 11 points .

REVIEW - PRELIMINARY FINA L The large crowd at the Harry Trott Oval on Saturday were witness to a very good contest of Amateur football .

BulleenTernp . had been twice victorious over M onash during the season . The 2 sides have played each other many times in the previous 10 years and had both been demoted from B Section in 1990 where the score had been 1 all .

M onash kicked with a fair wind in the first quarter estimated at about a 3-4 goal advantage and the Students opened in blistering fashion . SuileenTemp. had very little of the play and if not for very poor shooting at goal M onash could easily have finished the contest there and then . But the Stowers kept up the pressure and this contributed to the dashes inaccurate 5.9 first term . Usually reliable goalkickers in Koop, Hipwell and Alexander were major offenders . At the other end SulleenTemp. only managed 2 attacks that got beyond Crampton who was clearly on top of Pace early ; both resulted in points - one an uncharacteristic miss to Harvey .

M onash again almost stole the game when they kicked the first 3 goals of the second quarter with big, into the wind, kicks from Seaton and Koop. At one stage the scoreline read 8 .11 to 0.3 . It was also about then that the thermometer read 250 celsius! The heat and hard ground was taking its toll on both sides as players struggled to cope with the unusual conditions . A free and goal to Agrotis finally got the Stowers rolling and they added a further 3 goals to enter the major break 30 points down .

Bulleen-Temp. began the crucial third term with a goal and suddenly were right back in the contest as M onash had the wind and hence the Stowers would bring it home. The rest of the quarter was a struggle but Monash edged out of immediate trouble adding 4 further goals to Bulleen-Temp's 2 . At the final change it was Monash by 40 points. The feeling around the ground was that Sul9een Ternp . had a slight show.

The last quarter was a never say die affair with both sides tiring and promotion on the line . The wind was still quite strong and when McGregor was penalised for holding the ball (one M onash player who is easy to catch) ittriggered 3 Sulleen Temp. goals. The gap was slowly reduced to 17 points and when the game had to be won, not saved, Monash responded with 3, into the wind, goals to seal the match and a return to B Grade.

M onash had good games from Alexander, Koop, Baring, Seaton and Quin whilst SuileenTemp. were best served by George, Robertson, Field, Wotherspoon and Driver. M onash by 35 points .

PREVIEW - GRAND FI N A L W hitefriars vs Monash Blues Head to Head : Early in the season these 2 sides met for the first time ever, at Monash Uni . The Blues were comfortable winners and ran out victors by about 50 points. Early in the second round the sides met in very wet conditions at Whitefriars. The home side gained an early break of 3 goals and held that margin to win by over 20 points. Little of consequence can be gained from any of this as the conditions on the second meeting were extreme and both sides have developed markedly since the first meeting of Round 3 .

Form : Both sides are the "form" teams of the section . M onash have won 9 in a row - all of them easily except for a 20 point win over Fawkner. W hitefriars have done little wrong either in the second half of the season with a loss only to Bank at Bank (where everyone lost) and a narrow escape over Fawkner. Most recently both sides have beaten Bulleen-Temp . - the Friars by 10 points ; the Ashes by 35 points .

Around the Traps : With my ear to the ground over the last 5-6 weeks the message has been clear. "W hitefriars and Monash are the best 2 sides and should play off in the grand final : ' (Phil Stevens I believe was clearly oblivious to this when he tipped Ivanhoe!) People talking directly to me have tipped M onash as slight favourites (possibly because of my intimidating physique and well-known loyalties) .

Key Players : The matchs should be a close contest because both sides have plenty of depth . I felt that Ivanhoe and Bulleen-Temp. "carried" 4 or 5 players (due to injury or whatever) but this is not the case with the Grand Final sides. W hitefriars have the leading goalkicker in Pratt who marks and kicks well . Houston at centre half forward is an agile and skilled big man . Lane provides a further option in the forward line. Carbone is a dangerous on-bailer and forward . Reidy has a ton of pace on the wing . M cN eil is very dependable on the half back line.

No need to get carried away - I might end up tipping the Friars! M onash are led by league B&F Sturgess . They have Hildebrand to work hard up forward . Dangerous forwards in Koop and Alexander and a miserly backline led by Crampton, H ay, Gale and Kohler.

Finally: This shapes to be atop contest . Whitef ri ars have already done a tremendous job for their club in earning yet another promotion to a higher grade. Can they stop Monash's strong winning roll? My final prediction is that whatever happens Amateur football will be the winner and may the best side win! !

RESERVES GRAND FINA L St Kilda CBOC have swept all before them this year due to the depth provided by the pre-season merger . They deserveto start favourites against Ivanhoe who will be very fired up and looked good in dismissing Sulleen Temp . in the preliminary . Both sides boast some senior experience and this promises to be a skilled contest .

LES SAYS FARE W ELL It is a sad moment indeed, but I must give notice of my departure from these pages!! My club and my attention will return to B Section in 1992 and hence my ugly mug shall disappear so that once again the Villain will get the chance to expand each week at length on his "great mate" the one and only Tony "Cowboy" Kiers.

D SECTION

by Peter Lemo n

M elbourne High School Old Boys took off a great D Section double last Saturday, winning both Senior and Reserves premierships by sizeable margins . My tipping of AJAX has been confirmed by the Guiness Book of Records as the worst selection of the 20th century (but surely someone picked OMs to beat Old Haileybury this time last year!?), as High won comprehensively all over the ground for most of the day . The Jackers had no answer to High's big-man strength, whilst chief runners - with the possible exception of Burstin and Marks were ineffective; eclipsed and outclassed by High's on-ball players and wingers - Young, Aitchison, Dickson and more . (Last year just 2 of the 6 second semi final winners in A to F section gained premierships ; this year the figure already stands at 0 out of 3 .)

High Reser ves did the right thing for their club by starting the day on a winning note against St Kevins . The game was close until the third term, with both teams struggling in the cross-wind, but then it all clicked for the hot favourites. Chris Tyrell and Greg W ilson headed a classy combination - when you have to play Snaidero in the Reserves, after he kicked 9 goals for the Firsts in the last home-and-away game, that means enormous depth .

Goetz took one of the most spectacular marks that you would see anywhere in any level of football early in the main game - and that was virtually the Jackers' only highlight all day. They battled to stay in touch in the first half, but the writing was already on the wall . High goaled from difficult angles from the defensive pocket ; by way of contrast the Jackers could produce little up forward but inaccuracy, although their second goal just before half time (taking them to 2 goals 8 and more out of bounds on the full) gave them a glimmer of hope .

This hope evaporated in the third term, with High piling on 8.7 to 1 .2 and leaving the Jackers resembling a dropped jig-saw puzzle (completely in pieces) . Green, Bamert (playing up the ground), Dawson and Comer all ran riot, added by strong play from Wix, and tons of latitude from the A JAX defenders . The Chief moved with remarkable agility, whilst the AJAX forwards were having a horror day ; the lines were juggled on a number of occasions, but the result was always the same ; O'Connor and Beazley had the upper hand .

It was a nightmare (and worse) re-run of last year's grand final for the Jackers, and the finish to a fairy-tale year for High (11 wins on end) ; they needed to do nothing more than go through the motions in the last term, yet still increased the lead . When the final siren sounded, to give them their first senior Premiership in 30 years, they had won by 75 points . A great all-round team performance with just no weak Iinks and atriumph for coach Ron Verma .

For AJAX, a fine year was soured - perhaps ruined - by 1 last game ; their second promotion to a higher grade in as many years will seem but a distant consolation as they struggle to pick up the pieces and retain momentum over the coming months .

And in closing: for Melbourne High, I can do no more than quote that colossus of modern-day tipsters, Thomas Brain, who in speaking of another club a year ago said that the season was one which will give great pride and satisfaction for many years to come .

UNDER 19 SECTIONS

by Alax Lyo n

Firstly, congratulations to the winners of the B&F Awards - Julian M cCarthy (DLS) - Div. 1 ; Jason Hacking (Aquinas) - Div. 2 Nth ; Jason Wrobel (AJAX) - Div. 2 Sth . Congrats also to Old Mentonians on winning the Vic Health Discipline Award in their first year in the U/19 competition - a great effort !

REVIEN! OF LAST W EEK'S GAMES DIVISION 1 The 1990 replay saw the identical result w ith De La moving into the Grand Final this time with a 17 point margin . Xavs gave D's a 5 goal lead at 1/2 time principally because of being 2nd to the ball and an undisciplined approach to goal . While Xavs blazed away indiscriminately onto the forward line, D's methodically worked the ball to the attacking side of the ground in the fierce cross wind . Having exposed the Eagles' "Daicos" farce last week, I am compelled that, whilst not shown in the leading goalkickers, Xavvers' Paul Salter booted 2 to take his year's tally to 94. His De La counterpart, Rob Makinson, added only 1 to his score due to the close checking of Davies at full back . The 25 min . 1/2 time break taken by Xavs looked like paying off when they got to within 10 points with a few minutes to go but D's steadied in the closing stages . D's were best served by David Dean at CHB and ruck who made a miraculous recovery from his shoulder "injury" or was it a powerful cortisone job?

I thought Lester was their best just in front of Danny Smith whilst, without McLeod's effort in the 3rd quarter, Xavs could easily have stolen the game. Xavs best were Cook, an elusive rover and forward player with 3 goals and "Hilbo" (best U/19 centreman in the VAFA in 1990!) who did reasonably well at CHF in the 1st half but absolutely blitzed them in the 2nd half at CHB and shut out Dom Schuilling - one of De La's "guns".

EXTRA SPECIAL MENTION - I thought Rob Bell and Tony Hales did an excellent job with the whistle. I have seen Rob a few times this year and he has performed better than any other man in white I've seen! Over to you Woody and Benny! !

DIVISION 2 NORT H This game saw the matching of Trinity - runners up in the Discipline Award - against Therry who came last in the same award and that tells the story of this game . In the 1st, 3rd and 4th quarters Therry outscored T's but in the 2nd quarter their lack of concentration - and discipline - saw them let T's kick 8 goals which was a winning lead . 4 of T's 15 goals came from 50m penalties!! A disappointing finish for Anthony and the Roys' supporters but they can take heart in the future as a number of their team have another 3 U/19 years. M att Fitzpatrick was their best ably supported by Steven Griggs and Jacob Dimech . I thought BOG was T's Damian Makris who booted 7, a couple of them made easier with 50m penalties, whilst M arshall Adam made some customary dashes that inspired his team mates . Gavin Brimble and Nick Sims also impressed me.

DIVISION 2 SOUT H As quoted last week, I said 'Tones needed better input from Campbell and Patto to beat Bedas and that's what they got . Murph played a super game at CHB whilstMurphy, Campbell controlled the rucks and Patto again showed glimpses of his undoubted ability . Injuries to Flannery and Barr curtailed Bedas' effectiveness but top efforts from Farmer (4) and Bilos - a very tight but attacking full back kept the 'Tones honest and only a great 3rd quarter sealed the game for them . Waters, 4 goals in 15 min ., in this 1/4 really turned the game . Stainforth, again, controlled the centre and M arshall reaped the benefit of Campbell's ruck work . At the expense of upsetting clubs in the other division, I feel for Bedas as I am sure that they were unlucky to cop the OM's and 'Tones as I think they could beat almost all in the other section .

PREVIEW OF TODAY'S GAMES DIVISION 1 Last year this game was played at the roomier Harry Trott ground and the Ea g les got home . This year on the smaller Oval 4 it's a matter of who is the more direct in their approach to goal . Against Bernies, the Eagles fell down badly at CHF (sorry "Stork") and FF until they put A .T. (their best centreman) to FF after 1/2 time . Whoever plays at FF will have their work cut out against Davies while "Hilbo" should kill the CHF. Similarly Xavs will find it hard to score against the very good backline of the Eagles. It will probably boil down to which team has the better centre line and "on-ballers" and I am going to make myself unpopular and sure to get a big raspberry if I'm wrong, but I think that Xavs are marginally better in these departments . I was wrong last year and I'm sure the Eagles will be keen to see history repeat itself and prove me wrong again .

DIVISION 2 NORT H It's very hard to see past the Cobras in this one as no team has troubled them for more than half a game all year. They have lost only 1 of their last rostered 36 games which is a fantastic effort . Unfortunately, that 1 game was last year's "infamous grand final" . I'm surethey are wiserforthat effort and will only field 100% fit and in-form players this year. OT's showed last week that they can play some very good football in bursts but need to put together 4 quarters today and I think they may find that task a little beyond them .

THE AMATEtIR Fnttt'RAI I co l na l

DIVISION 2 SOUT H How do I summarise in a few lines the chances of 2 evenly matched teams in O M 's and 'Tones? Both teams have their fair share of "gun" players and the performance of these guys will have a big bearing on the result .

The return of Cornell will be a bonus for O M 's whilst 'Tones will benefit from Stainforth who missed the 2nd semi . I can only split both teams by a toss of a coin and it falls in "favour" ( ?) of OM 's. (Go for it "Sneezers".)

Tipsters Slab Challenge : I concede defeat to "Halfer" but "Hagar", "Villain" and "Silly" AGAIN owe me as per the results faxed to them, Peter "Bitter" Lemon is a real gentleman and concedes defeat . Thanks for your friendly banter during the year fellas.

Two important notes of interest re TI M ES and DRAWS : Timekeepers should note that the following applies to Rese rve section matches : A SECTION 4 x 25 minute quarters PLUS TIME ON (hence the 11 .30 start) B-F SECTION 4 x 2 0 minute quarters PLUS TI M E ON (11 .45 start ) UNDER 19 4 x 25 minute quarters PLUS TIME ON and that the following information needs to be advertised regarding DRAWS IN FINALS MATCHES .

"Extra time to be played in the event of any drawn final of a Senior, Reserve or Under 19 final - EXCLUDING a Grand Final where this game is to be replayed the following weekend :" When the final siren sounds the players will remain ON the field, CHANGE ENDS and in the meantime goal umpires meet, confirm that scores are in fact level .

If scores are confirmed as level 5 MINUTES PLUS TI M E-ON will be played, the siren then sounded, players change ends and another 5 MINUTES PLUS TIME-ON played .

If scores are then still level the match is to be replayed the following week .

Amateur football identity who ventured to VFL Park last Sunday for the Saints-Cats clash was overheard to say, as he was trying to leave after the match, that the Park should be turned into a prison - it is impossible to get away from!!

NO DOGS The first week of the new rule was mildly successful last weekend . As the rule was introduce d late in the week and only given limited exposure . Elsternwick Park gatekeepers were asked to allow entry to dogs and their owners but to advise that they are not allowed in the future .

For this weekend and next weekend however, gatekeepers will be asked to ensure dog owners leave their dogs outside Elsternwick Park.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1991

MARKETING NEW3

by Mike McArthur-Alh- i

Throughout this season the Marketing News Page in the "Amateur Footballer" has provided an oppo rt unity for each Sponsor on at least one occasion to present an Editorial comment on behalf of the Sponsor's company or organization . It has been a move welcomed by Sponsors as it provides them with a"add-on" to their promotional oppo rtunities by being involved and suppo rt ing VAFA football .

Some Sponsors have used the Editorial oppo rt unity to make a statement about their pa rticular involvement in the VAFA and their company or organization's attitude towards suppo rting the Association . Other Sponsors have elected to use the space to promote a pa rticular product or service that they are offering and by bringing this to the attention of VAFA players and suppo rt ers they are hopefully expecting an increase in their business by the patronage of VAFA followers .

There is a third option that has been used by some Sponsors, and that is to promote a message or to increase the awareness levels of people with regard to that pa rticular company or organization . Our Major Sponsor Vic Health and through its agency Dental Health Services is clearly not involved in sponsorship to sell more of a pa rt icular product . The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation is concerned with sponsoring spo rt within Victoria to increase community awareness of the need for " good health". In the case of the VAFA this health message is focused on dental safety in spo rt and in pa rt icular the message the DHS are trying to promote strongly is : "KEEP TEETH FOR LIFE - WEAR A MOUTHGUARD" . Visitors to Elsternwick Park, the home ground of the VAFA, will no doubt have noticed the impressive ground signage that DHS have utilized in promoting this message throughout the 1991 season .

There has been a significant increase in the amount and quality of ground signage at amateur headqua rters.

The improved ground signage has been welcomed by the Sponsors that have used this pa rticular avenue and although not all amateur football followers necessarily agree, it is a necessary pa rt of sponsorship . Sponsors are looking for value for their sponsorship dollar and if we are to be on the receiving end of sponsorship funds, we have to be able to provide a range of promotional oppo rt unities for our group of sponsors . I believe it adds a bit of colour whilst not detracting from the impo rt ant focus of the football itself . It has been through 'networking' that our ground signage has been significantly lifted in its visual appeal . One of our sponsors TOWN AN D COUNTRY SIGNS have been very active this year providing this impo rtant service and it all helps to make Elsternwick Park one of the most well presented football venues in Melbourne .

We are indeed fo rt unate to have such a magnificent electronic scoreboard at Elsternwick Park . For those that are interested, this is the third largest electronic scoreboard in Melbourne, after VFL Park and the MCG . The scoreboard, apa rt from its primary function of indicating the scores and game time elapsed, is another venue for Sponsors to promote their message. We have increased the number of messages as the demand of our sponsors has grown throughout the 1991 season . Next time you are at a game at the Park take a few seconds to observe some of the messages throughout the day and by doing so you are helping us to help our sponsors .

In the EP function room we have installed new sponsors' boards . These are located above the bar servery and list all of our 1991 sponsors arranged in the five groupings that have been provided this year. This is just a fu rt her oppo rt unity for sponsors to be acknowledged for their suppo rt of the VAFA . The regular readers of the "Amateur Footballer", our weekly publication, will have noticed the back cover this year has also been utilized to list our sponsors to indicate our great appreciation of their valued suppo rt.

All these aspects have added up to make the sponsorship of the VAFA an a ttractive proposition and judging by the number and wide ranging interest of our sponsors it is obvious that we must be presenting our Association in a very positive light. We look forward to the continued suppo rt of our Sponsors as we move into 1992, the CENTENARY of the VAFA, a year that should provide an increased range of oppo rtunities for sponsors to be actively involved throughout the season . Being such an important historic milestone inthe historyof theVAFA, I am confident that sponsors will be anxious to continue their involvement and indeed we may a tt ract more sponsors who see our organization as one that can meet s ponsors needs .

With 10,046 registered players in the VAFA for 1991 and extending this out to families and friends, and then adding on the number of support ers and officials and indeed past players and interested people in amateur football it is reasonable to say that between 100,000 and 110,000 people have some so rt of interest in amateur football in any one week throughout the football season . This represents a significant sector of the sport ing community of Victoria and must be appealing to sponsors as a group of sufficient size, and wide range of interests that should make his/her company or organizations involvement a very positive oppo rtunity.

On behalf of the VAFA, I would wish to express our appreciation to all of our sponsors for 1991, for their suppo rt and for their friendship . We look forward to continuing this relationship in 1992 .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1991

Those people who value their ABC Sports coverage are dismayed at the news that the sports coverage will suffer from savage budget cuts .

Why ABC Management, who are based in Sydney, has singled out sport as a target for major cuts when it is held in such a high regard by the community, is puzzling .

We understand that sport obviously does not have many friends in the ABC's hierarchy, who think sport is covered by the commercial radio and television networks, so, why bother? What they forget is that the ABC is supposed to be the "people's network", and if the thinking is from anti-sport sentiment then it's an outrageous attack on our Australian culture .

Astonishingly, Melbourne has always been a high rater for sport and is well supported by the local and country people, and yet it appears it will be savaged whilst Sydney will have minimal staff cuts .

The bottom line is that Sydney will just take control of all sports coverage in the long run, and whilst it is claimed that AFL and international cricket won't be affected, it's hard to see how 3L0's high standard of professionalism in its footy coverage can be maintained WITHOUT 60 PER CENT OF ITS STAFF!!!

This has serious implications for other aspects such as Amateur football . Over the past twelve months we have seen time for local sport eroded to just FIVE MINUTES and coverage of the popular amateur competition - grass roots footy - trimmed drastically.

We are deeply concerned that with the entire output of ABC Sport under the control of Sydney, little regard will be given for local sports coverage if any.

The people of Melbourne and Victoria regard the ABC and sport as part of our national heritage. If you feel strongly about the proposed cuts to sport we urge you to wri te to the man who can change that !

The successful VAFA team comprised R. Collins (MHSOB), G. Gill (U . Blacks), P. Harkness (O. Scotch), L . Wakeling (0. Parad .), A. Capes (U . Blacks), P. Rochow (Coburg), C . Empey (C'wealth Bank), R .

Joe Kelly was coach, Les Wenker was umpire, boundry umpires were Jack Wilson and Bill Quinn, and goal umpires were Ossie M eehan and Bob Coldrey . Alf Perrin was team manager. Old established team Balwyn left the Association.

Best and fairest for the season : "A" John Hayes (U . Blues), " B" Peter Falconer (Geel .), "C" D .

Hoffman (ES&A), " D" B . McKenna (St Pat's OC) and " E" A .C. Dick (National Bank) .

George McTaggart received his "Award of Merit" from the Australian National Football council for long and valued service in interest of game.

Ivanhoe, after losing the final to Coburg by 1 point, exercised their right of challenge and "what the game may have lacked in system it certainly more than made up for in excitement as at no time was there more than a difference of 6 points in the scores" . At the final siren, Ivanhoe was 2 points in front with John Manuel[ of Ivanhoe marking before the siren and kicking truly to give "Hoes victory by 8 points" . (Present day executive member, John M iles, was a member of the team N .R .) It was ivanhoe's first "A" Section premiership.

Collegians won "B", South Melbourne City "C", and Old Geelong Grammarians defeated UHSOB, De La Salle OC and UHSOB quite comfortably to take outthe "D" Section premiership . (Modestyforbidsth e 24

author from describing the game other than to state that he played in centre for OGG - N .R .) Ormond easily won Junior premiership, defeating Old Scotch .

55 YEARS AGO - 193 6 Finals time and controversy was there even in those years long ago. At the delegates' meeting the Parkdale delegate alleged that Malvern, the side that finished on top in "C" Section after home and home games had "rung in" a disqualified junior league player . If the allegation turned out to be true, Parkdale would go to the "top" of the ladder, Old Xaverians into the fou r, and Malvern out of the four.

Parkdale's allegation was that one of its players recognised a man playing for Malvern as a member of the West Park side in the Junior League who had been disqualified bythetribunal of that body when he did not appear to answer a charge of unseemly conduct . The complaint was referred to the executive committee with power to act after deciding the matter .

Thefinding wasthat "whilethe playerwould nothave been entitled to play with the club if he had disclosed all facts, he had not done so. Accordingly, the club was exonerated from all blame but the player had his permit withdrawri '.

In "A" Section Collegians, after a magnificent season met State Savings Bank, the last team to beat them, WAY BACK on May 30 .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1991 25

~ A- .C CI.IPI ~=edste " ' 4 -'en

Many football clubs, footballers, coaches and club administrators reach this point of the season and after a sho rt period of reflection take a deep breath, let out a long sigh and put the feet up often openly stating their desire to have a long break from the game .

Often this break extends to the New Year and even closes on February . It is my belief that those clubs who leave their planning until such a time are puttin g their clubs at a decided disadvantage . Instead it is N OW when clubs should be looking ahead and making careful plans .

In this art icle I would like to explore some of my own ideas in relation to active plannin g but firstly I must put my comments into context . Less than 10 days ago the team which I coach, Banyule seniors, were defeated in the B Grade first semi final, in many ways the team reached those pre-planned aspirations and goals I had established prior to the commencement of the season . Having consolidated in B Grade in 19901 felt that our ai m should be to make the finals in 1991 . Having achieved this goal all coaches set new goals related to promotion and premierships . Unfortunately we were not good enough to go on .

The executive of the club now has to sit down and consider their options in relatio n to coaches for 1992 . I too, need to carefully analyse my own performance and come to a decision about whether I want to continue . I feel very strongly that coaches should realise that it is the clubs perogative to hire and fire as they deem fit and if Banyule feel they need a new voice I will be the first one to accept their decision and wish them well . If on the other hand, they want me to continue and if I feel this is the best thing for me to do then by mutual agreement I will continue. What needs to be stressed is the time line .

Unlike others it is my belief that effective coaching occurs over a full 12 months period . In other words since the 1st semi loss I have not stopped coaching at all . Certainly the emphasis has changed and the focus is now a little different but football still dominates my thinking . Hence the executive needs to ratify coaching positions early to allow the new or existing coach to get on with the job .

Despite this waiting period there are a number of organisational tasks I have already either undertaken or planned that will have an important influence on the clubs future , 1 . I have undertaken a detailed analysis of the playing personnel available during 1991 and from this list identified atarget list of players I feel the club needs to progress beyond the first semi final next year . All players will be contacted over the next fortnight for a discussion with me about the year and their futures .

2 . A list of 30 players has been developed and targeted for specific assistance from October . The list of 30 makes up the core of what I believe will supply the senior team with its players next year. It is interesting to note that not in this 30 are 5 players who played in our first semi finals side. Their omission indicates my belief that they should retire or may not be the suitable answer for our team goals .

'It is also worth noting that of the listed 30 the eldest is 26 and the averge age is 22 . These players are all still developing as footballers . Furthermore 22 of the 30 played football with Banyule Under 19s . This significant fact highlights the need for our club to field an Under 19 team in 1992 so that once again a proven breeding ground for talented footballers can be established and therefore the future of the club can be ensured . For without an Under 19's side Banyule's future is only shortterm . I would argue that this would be a common issue for all clubs .

Of the 30, only 1 player has come from the G Grade side questioning in many ways the importance of such a team in the development of a successful senior side . My opinion backed by statistics would be that a G Grade team offers little to the senior side . Maybe these G graders could act as officials to support the Under 19's team on a Saturday .

The squad of 30 will be broken into 3 groups and invited to participate in one of 3 activities at least once a week from October. The groups are "WEIGHTS" -where lightly built playerswill gather regularly and workon developing their strength . "SKILLS" - where players will meet on a Sunday morning to work on deficiency in kicking, marking etc. and "FITNESS" - where the players will train together once a week and where weight and general fitness can be monitored and individual programs organised so that these players approach the 1992 season at a fitness advantage - not disadvantage.

The gathering of these groups is an important way of being able to focus their attention at the club's goal to progress to A Grade must be the goal in 1992 and an individual goal - e .g . to build upper body strength - improve opposite foot kicking etc .

All 30 will be invited - firstly to a meeting in early October where the program will be discussed and then once a week gatherings until pre-season begins . Their non-attendance will be a clear indication to the club about their level of commitment for the 1992 season and their general attitude. The ultimate would be to have 30 regularly attend - reality would suggest a lesser number.

3 . Early in October a group of 'recruiters' will meet and plan ways of supplementing the elite 30 that have been identified . Hopefully they will take into account the coach's comments after team analysis and seek out players that will overcome deficiencies, e .g . a centre half forward would be nice.

All avenues will be pursued and every contact checked . After initial contact the coach should personally call each player and set up a further meeting to discuss our plans and what the club is about . We have at our disposal an excellent promotional video that clearly shows what we are on about, this could be let after a visit .

Hopefully the combination of player development and recruiting will enable this club to reach its goal in 1992 .

I wish whoever may be the coach the best of luck and I urge all coaches recently appointed, or re-appointed, 26 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1 oo1

to start working now and analyse what you've got, find what you need and make sure the mechanism is there to supply your needs in the future, BUT DO IT SOON .

As a final note, it is vital for coaches outside of the finals race to watch some of these finals games, especially those between newly promoted Grand finalists - I think I'll be at the Whitefriars vs Monash game - with pencil and paper - doing my homework . The season's never over.
