PUTS BACK WHAT THE SWEAT TAKES OUT

.p . FROM THE DESK OF 22 . . . _now the re is only one!

Should the match scores still be drawn the above is repeated exactly - that is two further periods of 5 minutes plus time on i s played . If after the twenty (plus) minutes of extra time should the match scores still be drawn, the match will be declared a draw and will be replayed the following week at a venue and time as directed by the Executive Committee .

:fore last weekend's matches there we re 22 "live " ;:'entries in the Sportseover/Advanee Bank "Tip th e ven Premiers", which could have earned $10,000 for one outright winner . 2 entries "died" when Peninsula's season ended (E South). 2 when Collegians' were defeated in the A section first semi and 17 when St . Kevins halted Ormond's planned return to A section . The one "live" entry belongs to Monash Whites who have predicted the following seven teams to be premier teams - Old Xaverians (A) ; Old Brighton ( B); Nort h Old Boys ( C); Whitefriars ( D) ; Kew ( E East) ; University Blacks (E Central) and Southbank (E South). Hopefully I'll be writing next week that this entry is still "alive". Good luck Monash Whites !

Clubs looking goodl Monitoring of on-field officials clothing. A great improvement has been noted. The following continues to apply : Runners - VAFA approved green top and white shorts or navy track pants . Trainers - white tops and navy blue track pants . If shorts are to be worn they must only be white . Water carriers -(must not exceed 3 in number) . Yellow VAFA approved tops with either navy track pants or white shorts . The assistant duty officer (charged with umpire security) is responsible for bringing to the attention of the umpires incorrectly attired officials who are to be ordered from the field until they are correctly attired . The VAFA duty officer has a number of white shorts with him which offending officials will be asked to wear .

Press Corresnondents' Awards 1997 . Clubs who have managed to obtain media exposure for their club or the Association are invited to submit to the VAFA a folio of clippings and photographs, collection of tapes as record of radio interviews or any other material which may assist the judges in awarding your club a prize and recognising a person from your club who co-ordinated the press exposure for your club . Entries to the VAFA by the end of 4ctober .

ches Many people last weekend asked what happened if a match was still drawn after extra time was played . The Executive discussed this last Monday night and the following is to apply when a drawn match occurs in any VAFA final i .e . senior ; reserve or U19 match .

Starting times and match durations . It was previously decided to continue with the old A section reserve match times during the finals of 25 minutes plus time per quarter. However due to the delay in start ing the senior matches because of this timing it has been decided to reve rt to the standard 20 minutes plus time on for each qua rter of an A section reserve final - same as during home/away season . Whilst on times, all Grand Finals of reserves matches will commence at 11 .15 am and senior Grand Finals at 2 .15 p.m. The reason for this is to give plenty of time between the reserves and senior match for presentations.

Extra time shall be played in any drawn match of a senior, reserve or Under 19 final including a Grand Final .

When the final siren sounds the players will remain on the field, change ends (without an address from the coach) and in the meantime the goal umpires will meet and confirm that the scores are in fact level . Once confirmation is notified to the field umpire, 5 minutes plus time on will be played after which the siren will be sounded . The teams will cross straight over (without an add ress from the coach) and play another 5 minutes with time on .

A SECTION by Jason Frenke l

t was an emotion-charged weekend at football grounds around the state, and not just because o f the news which filtered through from Paris in th e hour preceding Sunday's first semi-final clash at Elsternwick Park . With the likes of Harvey, Pritchard and Langford subject to moving ovations and rousing farewells at league grounds, that most elusive of football qualities, 'spirit.' was alive and well, and never more evident in Old Haileybury's magical come-from-behind victory over a shell-shocked Collegians. The contest looked all but over at three-quarter time. The Lions, having kicked with the aid of the breeze in the third term, had skipped out to a 28 point lead at the last change after restricting Old Haileybury to just one behind for the quarter ; the Bloods, had they not cracked already, would surely break now. Simon Meeehan said later he thought his players did a fairly good job in that third term in containing the Lions and giving themselves every chance in the final quarter, but to most, a Bloods revival seemed unlikely . As unlikely as it seemed, it all took place incredibly quickly. Fantastic goals to Hilton and Baxter in the space of a minute at the 1 0 :00 minute mark and the Bloods looked empowered, spirited and desperate . And for about 6 or 7 minutes, the game turned into a desperate, last-man -standing affair as the Lions sensed they were being challenged and the Bloods realised they had a chance . Hilton's second for the quarter gave Haileybury the lead and signalled the beginning of the end for Collegians . Suddenly the Lions looked defensive, vulnerable and unsure . Capitulation is often swift in the face of a rampant force, and for some minutes, that's exactly what the Bloods were as they piled on 8 .7 for the quarter while keeping the Lions scoreless . Time after time Haileybury went forward with little resistance ; the joy among Bloods supporters was almost replaced with disbelief as the magnitude of the win became apparent . No game ever rests on a single move or player but the switching of Mark Seecuil into the ruck was as close as you get to a match-winning move . Jefferson and Hilton played out an excellent duel in the big man stakes for most of the afternoon with honours going both ways but Seccull gave the Bloods drive in the final term which they had previously lacked, and freed up his team-mate to kick two important goals at the start of the last term. And for the most part in that final quarter it was one-way traffic . On the odd occasion the Lions forced the ball forward, it was a cool, composed David Connell who gathered it first, calmly weighing up

options before feeding the ball off. Connell's excellent defensive work was supported by Carty's efforts on the dangerous Warne-Smith. The exciting Lions forward was blanketed for most of the afternoon by his toey minder and only in the second quarter, when he was able to contest one out, did Warne-Smith ever threaten to get among the goals . But the Lions did have their winners - that tireless workhorse, James Bennett, kept working, battling, trying when others might have given up, Gabe DeaneJohns, fleet of foot and with plenty of dash, threatened to ignite the Lions' spark on occasions, and Brooke King was a good target up forward for most of the day. Both sides will take a hard-earned rest this week ; unfortunately for the Lions, they won't be fronting up the week after, but the Bloods must surely take heart from the chance to refresh over the next week and prepare for the next step; a grand final berth . Preview Their opponents in next week's preliminary fina l is anyone's guess - results over the past weeks have proven that anything goes in 1997 and the recent form of today's combatants, Old Xaverians and Old Scotch, would leave most punters confounded, particularly the Cardinals . Wayne Harmes' charges have shown themselves to be everything in recent weeks contenders and pretenders, winners and sinners but if they are to take one positive thought from their inconsistent form, its that they have played well against the top sides and performed poorly against the lower ones . Xaverians, too, have been difficult to gauge . While they did enough throughout the year to secure top spot, many believe they have yet to properly hit their straps . Will they? Can they? Xavs' forward line has enough options to trouble the Cardinals defence . With Bourke and Richardson forming a two-pronged attack, either forward can break a side open on his day and with the likes oTimOckleshawndtf-orwih islkyandgo sed,cmplih Cardinals defenders Adam Nettleton and Stuart Grigg are likely to have their hands full . Scotch have scoring power of their own . Aujard, Heath and Phillips are more than capable of kicking majors and the nuggetty on-baller\forward pocket Phil Goldberg has proven to be a handy goalsneak, too . Expect a fantastic clash between two talented ruckmen as Michael Blood takes on Tom Wilson, and one might expect that first use of the ball out o;

the middle will be a telling factor in the outcome of this game . Having said that, much depends on the mood ;_otch are in when they take the field ; given the nature of today's game and what lies ahead for the winner, they should not be anything less than wholeheartedly desperate and totally ferocious. Xavs have the chance to make it three-in-a-row, and Nick Bourke showed last year that his men can do incredible things at finals time, but the premiership defence will get off to a shaky start today as the Cardinals come home by 17 points .

TI B by Terry Quirk

In superb conditions, the first semi final attracted a huge crowd that saw St. Kevins come from 26 points behind late in the third term to score a 19 point victory over a very disappointed Ormond side. REVIEW As anticipated Ormond started very confidently with first use of the ball for most of the quarter but could not score enough goals at the end of the ground favoured by the slight breeze. SKOBS' taller players were harrassed at every contest as Ormond made it known that it wanted the ball at ground level and was intent on delivery of the ball into space with on ballers and centre line players creating many options . The loss of Sam Gribble early in the match was a crucial blow for SKOBS who seemed to be in disarray for a big part of the second quarter. Ormond should have just about wrapped the game up in the second quarter with much possession particularly by Block, Collins an d Gilmore but four very costly misses from fairly easy shots enabled the Moods to hold a slender half time . The clash in the ruck between 'Dream Teamers' in Paul McDonald an d Marcus Olive was a highlight with honours about even until McDonald was forced from the ground before half time with a leg injury . With Ormond already at a height disadvantage Anthony Turner an d Craig Symes were called upon to compete against SKOBS' tall timber. The Hart Foundation went to work at half time with Jim Macey taking over at the centre bounce and Mark Brady moving into the centre to curb the run of Mark Horsfield . The game suddenly swung the way of Ormond who kicked five goals to race to a 26 point lead at the start of time on . The Ormond supporters were doing handstands whilst some SKOBS' supporters were looking forward to next year . Goals in time on to Ryan an d Gargano left Ormond with a handy 13 point lead but Greg Healy would have been most displeased with the effort of his charges in "turbo time" which allowed the SKOBS back into the contest . The move of Warren Keighran onto the ball was also paying dividends for the SKOBS . The loss of Anthony Turner for 15 minutes at the start of the last quarter was a cruel blow for Ormond. With Brady on fire, the SKOBS kicked two goals in two minutes to bridge the gap then called on the runners in "Huddo" an d the "Boss" to send the ball forward on numerous occasions to Gross an d Ryan who were now well on top . Paul Joy and Craig Fraser were tireless in their efforts to lift Ormond for anoth-

er charge but the confidence of St . Kevins was sky high after goals to Andrew Ha rt an d Gargano appeared to seal the issue . Greg Heai3 gave full credit to his players after the match-for thei excellent efforts in a year of re-building for the Club The Hart Foundation rejoiced as another step wa, taken on the journey to the 1997 goal . PREVIEW The big guns are out today as Old Brighton take

on MHSOB for the second time in three weeks . I would be a very brave man to select the High Schoc boys against the team that has held top spot an been the form side for the 1997 season . The condi tions will be important as will Old Brighton's ability t utilise the vast spaces of Elsternwick Park Melbourne High will be confident of success her after its effort last time against the OB's with severz players missing . This will be a great contest whic will be decided by the ability of the defences of hot sides to close down the big marking forwards and th success or failures to succeed in manning up the rur ning players . IT select Old Brighton by 8 points in match where much is at stake for both sides . RESERVES Therry Penola's season came to an abrupt e n last week as Old Brighton powered away early the buried Therry in a third quarter landslide . Today match between St. Kevins an d arch rivals Ormon should be a beauty . The last time these sides me Ormond scored convincingly in the blustery cond tions and have certainly been the form side over if past six weeks . The big ground will test both sidt with St . Kevins centre line and on ballers being relic upon to use the vast spaces and run with the ba Again a difficult one to select but SKOBS may be be ter equipped to handle the big ground and shou prevail by 14 points .

C SECTION by Russell Goul d

Second Semi-Final Review Seniors I \]I o rth Old Boys advanced to next weeks 'C' Section ~ Grand Final after a come from behind victory over St Bedes/Mentone at Sandringham last week . It was indeed a game of two very distinct halves, a game dominated by both teams at varying stages during the match, but the NOB's managed to do more with their dominance and took the game by 32 points . The first quarter was fairly even, the match had not yet been taken control of by either side, and with North up by a goal at the first break a close game looked likely . In the second quarter however the Tigers took absolute control and threatened to cause a blowout . Steve McCarthy took over in the middle, continually pushing the ball forward from the ruck, and when he didn't push it forward it was helped there by Marinic and Lannan. The Tigers were dominating and turned that dominance into scoring opportunities that were capitalised on . They kicked 11 goals to 2 to take a very handy 36 point lead into the long break and with rain clouds gathering it was looking good for them. But the rain never came, except that is a storm of goals from North Old Boys, who in the second half took the control from the Tigers . On-ballers the likes of Manassa started to get the ball for North. They worked it forward and with the Tigers looking a bit flat after such a big second quarter. North pegged back the margin and went into the final break just a kick behind. In the round 16 clash between these two sides North pegged back a 20 point lead the Tigers held in the third quarter to win, and with this looming largely in their minds, the Tiger fans would have been wary of a repeat performance . The Tigers needed the first goal if they were to take the ascendancy from the NOB's, but as per Round 16, it didn't happen . North proceeded to beat the Tigers to the ball, control the play, and pile on enough goals, the sealers from the all-taped-up Boyle, to take the game and enjoy a week off before the Grand Final, safe in the knowledge that their stay in 'C' Section would be known only as a very short one . The Tigers can take solace only in the fact that they were able to kick eleven goals in a quarter against a team who otherwise controlled the game . The Tigers looked unstoppable in that second term, but just could not keep it going. North on the other hand failed to panic in the face of adversity, and were as professional, as you can be in amateur football, and did all the things you need to do to win. Reserves St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v. North Old Boys

This was a clash of the two teams clearly the bes t 6

throughout the year. They had managed to dispose of teams in such a fashion tha t they both looked to be sure winners . But on this da there had to be a loser, and after going through ar entire season undefeated, you would probably not havt suggested it would have been the Tigers . But it was . In a game that really failed to live up to it's expecta tions, North managed to want the ball just that little bi more and converted more of their scoring opportunities That is not to say it wasn't close, The Tigers were in i up until the end, but in the last quarter it was on thE scoreboard alone . North managed to out scramble the Tigers, and go over the line by what ended up being a very comfortabld 21 points . So North have both teams in their respective Gran( Finals, and a week off to watch their opponents .

Preliminary Final Seniors St . Bedes/Mentone Tigers v . Marcellin This will surely prove to be a daunting task for thi Tigers . Marcellin are entering yet another preliminar final and will be so keen to win they could literalf, intimidate the Tigers out of the game . But I don't thinl they will be able to . The Tigers know they have the capability to put winning score on the board, and defend it for most o the game, and if they are fair dinkum about this final, series, they will have to want to defend it for the wholi game . Marcellin have the drive after a good win in the first semi, where they just fell over the line in some of thi worst conditions we have seen all year . Their big gun ; fired that day and that is what you need if you are ti win the fmals . Their defence and running abilities an their keys to victory. They allowed an average of just i( goals a game to their opponents during the season, an( in attack averaged 18. If they can find a couple of extra they will go that little bit better . The Tigers averaged just under 22 goals a game h attack, getting a lot of drive from a defence that allowe( 13 goals a game, They could have the edge there Marcellm not having as potent an attack which shouk enable that drive from the Tiger's backline to continue But I think it will go the same way as last week, tha being whichever teams' mid-field is able to control thi direction of the play for the majority of the game shoulc prove the winners . And the Tigers slight edge in attacl sways my thinking towards them as the winner. It will be a close one, but if the Tigers can kick 1 : goals in a quarter against the premiership favourites, sustained performance should get them home . 6% THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 199

Mentone Tigers v. Monash Blues To go on regular season performances, you would say that the Tigers look home . They beat the blues convincingly twice during the season and after a loss like last week would be breathing fire . But a straight set exit last year by the Tigers gives the Blues a slight sniff . They were not bad in defeating Marcellin, although outscored in all but one quarter, and a week off could be a help . But the Tigers were the benchmark all year, and it is a very hard ask to win every game and a flag, - 3 I think they will come out this week and do what they nave to, to earn a re-match with the NOB's next week .

D'SECTION by Peter Kelly, & David Cook r n near perfect conditions a large crowd witnessed two exceptional games of football . Congratulation s to the Beaumaris club who are bound for `C' Section in 1998 . Although the results in the seniors appear one sided, at the orange break the sides were locked together at 73 pis a piece . The display by both senior sides was a pleasure to watch. For three quarters neither team could break loose and establish a lead as the conditions and excellent Mazenod ground (Central Reserve) lent itself to a fast skilful game . The ten goal last quarter by Beaumaris was champagne football. REVIEW OF LAST WEEKS 2ND SEMI FINAL . Reserves In the Reserves match played between Whitefriars an d Old Geelong a superior reserves side in OGS showed their opponents what finals football was all about . They played a very high standard of football and were first to the loose ball and made it a contest at every opportunity. Old Geelong extended their lead steadily during each quarter and the Parkside contingent watching from the stands would have been fairly concerned as they tried to note the best players from both sides for their next two games . OGS had winners all over the field and Whitefriars who play Parkside today will need to lift their work rate and recognise that finals football is another step up (as is the Grand Final if they make it past today) . Last Saturday too many Friars were prepared to wait for the ball rather than run to a contest a problem I am sure their coaching staff will be aware of . Seniors In the Senior game 10 minutes went by before a goal was scored with Old Geelong attacking constantly but being unable to get a major on the board . A thrust forward by Beaumaris saw Salisbury swoop on the ball and kick the first from a left foot snap on the half forward line . The contest began. For three quarters the sides fought to break free from their opponents with Old Geelong appearing to have a slight edge on the field but not able to get clear on the score board. During the second quarter OGS opened up a handy lead only to be reeled in by Beaumaris who trailed by 7 pis at the long break . The third quarter saw OGS attack as they had 65% of the play but could not convert missing easy and set shots to both sides of the big sticks . Three quarter time saw the game dead level and no indication of what was about to happen . The Sharks who had been struggling a little to get their free flow game going suddenly hit their straps. The forward line clicked and the backs turned 'f~

TNC

every OGS attack into a rebound scoring opportunity . In the space of 15 minutes Beaumaris had secured the promotion to C Section and sent OGS off to do battle with Whitefriars in the Preliminary final . The best player on the field was Salisbury who kicked 8 goals and assisted in others with Sherman, Pitts, and Nicholson consistent four quarter performers . PREVIEWS OF TODAY'S GAMES . Reserves In the reserves Parkside take on Whitefiiars who would be extremely disappointed with their game last week . The Devils will be hard to toss as they work hard at making it to every contest the main area that beat Whitefriars last week . I feel Parkside may cause Whitefriars day to start on a sad note as the Devils move to the Grand Final. Seniors Old Geelong meet Whitefriars today with both sides having won an encounter against the other this season . Old Geelong will be very disappointed after the last quarter last week and their inability to convert their many forward thrusts . Whitefriars who managed to just roll Parkside in the worst conditions for the year two weeks ago would have been thankful for the weeks rest and watched the senior game last week with interest from the Mazenod stand. Both sides relegated from C at the end of the 1996 season will be keen to first return to C Section and then have a crack at the flag and Beaumaris in next weeks Grand Final . OGS appear to have an edge over the Friars around the ground whilst the Friars have an edge on the ball . Both will rely on their respective forwards in Howells an d Robinson to get a bag full and cap off the efforts of their midfielders . I predict OGS will get up by 2 goals in what promises to be another outstanding game in the annals of D Section for 1997 . The Season in Review PART 1 OF THE 97 REVIEW. Reviewing the performance of teams in D Section this week with the top five next week. Old Camberwe ll - did not have enough tall timber around the ground and appeared to lack fitness by not being able to run out games that they had a chance to win . Will need to recruit 6 - 8 Senior players to lift their skill level or may suffer in E Section in 1998 where I predict at this stage they will finish between 4th and 7th . (Rating 57% )

Caulfield - appeared to play defensive football concentrating on game plans instead of the basics . A little underdone in the talls department and lost out radly with injuries to some of their best, they can look forward to a fairly good 98 if they work hard in the off season . Will be a strong E Section Club . (Rating 65% ) St Johns - Lack the concentration required to play four quarters and are not as fit as other sides . Need to recruit a mobile CHB and some running skilled onballers to free up players being played out of position. Concentration and fitness will enhance badly needed on field discipline . Will finish 4th to 8th in D Section . (Rating 67% ) Salesian - Have consolidated in D Section and will again be 4th to 8th in that section next year if they can retain their players . Need a bigger ground to suit their style of play and allow freedom for their runners . A tall ruckman and backup would be handy to allow options for some other players . Will continue to improve if they work on their present policy over summer. (72% ) Aquinas - Came with a rush at the end of the season after a disappointing start. Good influx of U19's this year and if repeated next year will see a blend of youth and experience . Their prospects look fairly bright and if they can resolve their home ground issue the Club will improve through concentrating on on-field rather than off-field issues . '98 should see them 4th to 9th in D Section . (74%)

Knitwear ~'he big day has arrived once more and the two most worthy clubs do battle for this years honours . Every best wish to Yarra Valley OB's an d Kew for what should be a fitting climax to a great year of footy .

Addison up forward, gave their best. A magnificent game, with a

THE PRELIMINARIE S SENIOR Old Carey succumbed to a more purposeful, and better directed Kew in a magnificent game last week . Robe rt Bayley won the strategies battle with his four man half back set up . and it worked a treat, causing vacillation and confusion amongst the C's own backs leading them into persisting with an indirect, short defensive tactic, bringing them undone time and again . Even so, the C's sheer talent nearly won the day, but while they were running on strongly at the finish, it was all too late . In almost ideal conditions, the game opened at a furious pace, and stayed that way all day . Kew had the better of the first term, but as they so frequently did in the H&A rounds, squandered chances by sloppy finishing . May be it was the finals tension because the C's weren't any better their end . Kew dominated the first 25 minutes, but let the C's backs in with 3 goals in time on . Kew were losing the centre bounce knocks, but winning the midfield clearances, and their backs shut Addo and Hedgie out of the game . Cullen an d Lafranchi were prominent for Kew, with Bruce Cohen, Vas, Simon Wood and Dino Faelis picking up disposals for the C's . The 2nd term started with a Kew flurry, leading to a good mark and goal by J . Barnes . Then the C's hit their straps and rammed through 7 goals in 14 minutes, with Addo kicking 4, and Hedgie creating many chances by getting hard balls out to teammates . The C's took a 19 point lead into half time and looked like winners . This all changed in the 3rd term, which Kew made their own . By scoring 7.3 to 1 .2 Kew virtually wrapped up a berth in the grand final, with Dimasi, Harrison, Pulverenti an d Cullen running rings around the disarrayed C's, and G reg Porte taking telling marks in the forward line . Kew had turned a 19 point deficit into a similar advantage by dominating the centre clearances, and having their half backs and centres streaming into the forward line, smothering the C's feeble clearance attempts . To their credit, the C's regrouped in the last term, outscoring their opponents, but Kew had judged their run nicely and were able to weather the storm . full marks to Robert Bayley, he stuck to a strategy that had failed twice against the C's during the year, but in the game that counted, it worked . For Kew, Ric Pulverenti (6 goals), Cable Hope on his wing, Jamie Be ll, the wandering CHB, Stewie Harrison in the forward line, and B rian Cullen on the ball, were all standouts. For the C's, Chad Esler, rucking. Matt Cohen round the flanks, Simon Wood with his great marking, Chris Angus's pace and beautiful disposal, Dino Faelis's dashes and smothers at half back, an d Michael

very deserving victor.

What a game this was to start the day . The C's whipped on 3 goals in the first few minutes of the opening term, then Kew came back to within 10 points . The second term was a goal for goal affair with the defences on top, but the C's clung to an 8 point lead at the long break . Kew came out with a 6 goal third quarter, and President Andrew Barnes kicking them from everywhere. Kew looked in command starting the last with an 18 point break in a backlines dominated game. A controversial end to the third quarter, when the C's had a point disallowed after the umpire recognised the siren with the ball in the air, it rolled over the point line untouched, but was deemed to be dead after hitting the ground . Don't know about that one Ump!!! The 4tt ; was a thriller. The C's slowly pulled Kew back, a . A minute nearlyitomhfnbyagol later, and Kew kicked the equaliser . Extra time had tc be played, and what about that disallowed point to thf C's? The first 5 minutes saw Kew inch ahead by 4 points . Then right at the death knock a great snal from 15 metres out by Ian Cohen gave victory to thf C's . Matt Dalrymple at CHB was terrific for Kew, sc too Justin Po rt er, and Robe rt Bruni, with an hon . ourable mention to Andrew Barnes. For the C's, And} Drever played a blinder, Matt Curry appeared to bf everywhere, Rowan Bardwell controlled the middk again, Ian Cohen was strong on the ball, and oncE again, if there was a pack, there was Simon Jackson GRAND FINAL SENIORS At least I can write without bias about this game in which I had hoped the C's to be participating . Sucl was not to be, and the two best sides of 1997, Yam Valley and Kew, take the field to decide the flag . Le there be clement weather for this match, it should be ~ ripper. The Bush Rangers will endeavour to blitz thei opponents early, with their super leg speed and snap py disposal. As it was last week, this will be a contes bet-veen breakneck pace and football nous, with victo ry going to the team that holds its nerve to the end Both sides rely on their half backs and on-ballen swamoing the opposition defence, the Bush Rangers by a line of runners, and Kew more with long pene trating kicks . There was only 15 points between then in their last encounter out at Domeney Reserve, an( for much of the game there won't be any more today Kew showed steely resolve when under pressun against the C's last week, and if they can repeat tha effort they will be hard to beat in a tight finish. I thin] though, that this is the year of the Bushranger, an they will take the flag, and the medals, by 3 / 4 goals

RESERVES Yarra Valley meet the surprising Old Carey in th e

early game. The C's Ressies have had an up and down year, but seem to be playing on at the right end of season. Yarra, on the other hand, have hardly put a foot wrong, and though pressed by Kew in the 2nd semi, must be favoured to win this encounter. The Bushrangers are the younger combination, whereas the C's have a coterie of more mature campaigners as well as plenty of pacy youth . Their will only be a few points in this game either way, and I feel the C's will prevail in a very high standard start to the day .

~ Old Carey players Matt 'Jacko' Jones, and Brian 'DJ' Humphrey play their 100th and 50th games in the Black, Gold and Blue today . Two of the real characters round the club, avid trainers, active socialisers, who give their all on the field, well done Jacko & DJ.

E CENTRA L SPORTSCÂŽ~~

by Mick

The fickle nature of football came to the fore last weekend when the red hot premiership favourite bowed out of the race in straight sets under the pressure of injury and an unexpectedly committed and disciplined opponent . Commiserations to all at Williamstown who, for a second year in a row, put a splendid home and away season together without reward. Preliminary Final Revie w With fine weather predicted and the playing surface a picture Wi lliamstown went in quietly confident despite injury worries and the absence of their skipper . Everything appeared to be going to plan early with the CY's looking confident up forward and able to move the ball through the centre at will with Featherstone on fire . But, just as Willi looked set to go on their merry way. North Brunswick were able to get back in touch, more through hard work than anything else with Moose Malkoun tough at the ball. In the second stanza the same pattern was repeated with the Northerners slipping further behind before an inspirational goal by Dave Ellis and a strong final few minutes took them to the main break in a positive frame of mind despite a 25 point deficit . The complexion of the game changed markedly in the second half, with Mick Sorletto using his pace as North began to move the ball more quickly and easily out of defence . They set up a series of forward thrusts that brought De Morton and Tirchett into the game with, Williamstown coach Alan Elliott apparently powerless to stop the revival . At the final change the margin had narrowed to less than 2 goals and the momentum had shifted firmly to the underdogs . North coach Craig Fox was growing more confident and simplified the forward set up with his two big guns given free range within the fifty . The move paid dividends with skipper De Mo rt on the difference in the home stretch despite the best efforts of Dean Macleod who led the CY's resistance across half back and provided the desperately needed rebound that his team mates were unable to capitalise on . The come from behind win prompted emotional scenes in the North box with an emotional coach Fox wrapped in the application his side showed after struggling for much of the first half. In the ressies there was more disappointment for Williamstown who lost the chance for one more crack at Blacks . The victorious Reds put together their best performance of the year lead by Captain rilimo and the experienced Farrell and Atkin . Bond, Bubnic an d Menhennet were best

for the CY's with Twisty their only effective fonvard despite being dragged up the ground to find the ball .

Grand Final Preview The big question that will be answered today t whether North Brunswick played their grand fina last week or will they be able to repeat that perfor mance and avenge their '95 grand final loss? As i the premiership isn't motivation enough only th winner will be promoted with both grand finalist in E East already guaranteed a birth in D in 199E North will have to play at or above their best fa the year to knock off the rested Uni Blacks outfi ,who will have done their homework on th Preliminary final performance . The rest and th depth at Uni are hard to go past as decisive factor in the game with no single player crucial to th performance of the students and a plethora of for ward options making it hard to restrict them to losing score. North, on the other hand, will rel heavily on De Morton and Tirchett to kick they into contention and it will be up to the coachin staff to come up with some innovative options those two fail to fire . The game promises to b physical and played at a blistering pace, cond tions permitting . Despite head to head hono ubeingv betwnhes id n'97,theconsi: tency and overall fitness of the Blacks are enoug for me to go with them to hang on for an 8 poir win . In the early game the Black's corresponder already has his team mates pencilled in for aÂ° pack" of premierships and it's hard to go past th~ record given the failure of all comers to get pa : the Blacks to date . The Blacks have the matc winners in Dooley, Howe and "Buckets" Low and should run out 40 point winners over the Red cousins who have had a red hot go this fina campaign . The most interest will be with MUF stalwart Jack Clancy and where his loyaltie sliegvnalogsciatonwhteBlacksnd h own perl,)rmances for the Reds in their (and hi salad day.; . At least one person can't lose! Thanks again to everyone who contribut e to this column during the year especially I those who copped a bit of stick and best of lus for today and the season to come .

E SOUTH SECTION by Ken Bremne r & Tom Brai n

W ll, eafter 21 weeks it has dawned upon us, yes the 'Grand Final' . The very best of wishes are extended to all the participating clubs and their players and officials . Let us spare a thought for those guys amongst the competing clubs who have for whatever the reason, missed selection in the 'big one . Success unfortunately comes at a price we're not talking about injury, whilst that might hurt, the one that causes match committees the most grief is the selection on the criteria of'tearri balance or just that little bit more of natural talent and ability at the expense of loyalty . There is no definitive answer and it is a perennial problem, however it's a problem that many other clubs would openly welcome. Personally, having been through the mill ourselves at both ends of the spectrum we can only urge the players to eat the 'humble pie and support your club and your teammates to the hilt . Remember, you have been an integral part of your club's success to this point in time and will be today! From a club point of view it must be remembered that Grand Finals are won on Grand Final day, nothing else, howev~ er in reality Premierships are won, way back in about January or February when you have embarked upon selection strategies and manpower . From both Tom and myself, thank you all for the year past and may the best team win on the day ! REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY FINAL SENIORS St Pat's Mentone hit the ground running and remained a totally committed unit throughout the day, much to Peninsula's despair. The Pirates in their own right were very tenacious and deserve special mention and praise for sticking to their 'guns. At days end the 'Vultures' had run their race and welcomed the final siren to finish 13 points ahead of a rampaging Peninsula. Another stanza and the result may well have been different. However, footy spans four quarters and not five and St Pat's rightfully deserve their shot at Southbank for the Premiership honours. St Pat's had the Pirates off a'bit' early and by the first break the writing was very much on the wall . Peninsula were being forced into a situation whereby they were reactive rather than pro-active . The game was torn apart mid way through the second quarter when a succession of unanswered St Pat's goals allowed them to take a 5 goal lead into the long interval. At stages of the third and fourth quarters the Patters extended this lead to as much as 7 goals before being reined in by the determined Pirates. As mentioned previously, the 'bell' sounded prematurely for Peninsula and not before time for St Pats, however nothing can detract from the quality of the Patters victory. Best for St Pat's were Sebire, Wise and Davies and for Peninsula Dentry, Sharpin and Bedford . It would be remiss of us not to pay special mention to Peninsula. A proud and strong club who this year underid

went some not so subtle internal surgery and who have emerged a better, bigger and we believe stronger club, albeit without the ultimate prize . We congratulate all their players and officials, especiaIly President, Allan Angus and Senior Coach, Brett McIItwraith on setting their goals and striving to achieve them. Good fortune isn't far around the corner for the Pirates . RESERVES Southbank and their opponents Peninsula staged a real 'ding-dong, 'rip-snorter first half that kept all the supporters on their toes . After weathering the storm the Bankers finally settled into their stride and gradually exerted their superiority over the enthusiastic Pirates . The winning margin of 41 points didn't give credence to the efforts of the Peninsula guys but it did all the same underline the strength of Southbank and gives rise to the opinion that the second semi final loss was more of a blessing than anything . MVP's for the Pirates were Bowman, Bonner and Barclay and for the Bankers, Macca, Coggo and Robbo.

PREVIEW SENIORS We're on a bashing to nothing today . Any praise for Southbank will by viewed as biased opinion and likewise of St Pats will be seen to be condescending . Anyway, whc cares, our remuneration is such that weve just gotta sa} it as it is? Weve got the pen, you ain't so cop this lot ! The very best two teams on performances this ye . It's a level play, ametodcihPreamof197 ing field and no excuses can or will be extended by either Argument can be made that on the 'lau/ of averages thc Patters are due to knock off Southbank whilst thf reverse is that records are made to be broken and wh3 can't the Bankers keep rolling on? The strengths of both camps are well documented miserly defences, prolific scoring forwards, big and stronl effective followers and on-ballers and free flowing mid fielders. They've both got the lot . Then where does on( gair the ascendancy ? Our belief is that Southbank holds the key in twc areas: - the ability to match-up better on key players; and - the extra weeks break to recuperate from injury an( stress . St Pat's have been fast out of the blocks throughou the finals and the Bankers will need to be wary of givin! away any starts . The Patters are tenacious and definitel ., not a team that will hand over a lead without one helluv,, 'dog fight. The Bankers have earned a reputation thi M THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 199

year of just 'grinding away and going on with the job' . With the weeks rest in the bag, Southbank will have no excuse not to be full of running and with a full contingent to select from we're 'gunna' shoot from the hip and select the Bankers to win a 'ripper' by the narrow margin of 7 points . Fair dinkum, good luck to both teams ! We both really hope it isn t that close as were getting on in years and our hearts, the Brain's especially may not be able to cope with the strain . RESERVES Southbank having won the right to meet Oakleigh in the 'big one, take into the match terrific form, notwithstanding the one blemish two weeks ago in the second semi against the Krushers . Oakleigh have every right to be optimistic of their chances given that their finals squad is supported by some very handy 1's players . That in itself is a very crucial point, as it was the lack of those types of players that brought about the Bankers demise . As were sure the Krushers brains trust? over the fence last week witnessed, the Southbank team took on a vastly different look and the resultant win came as no surprise . KB and

TB are tipping a reverse result of the second semi final and selects Southbank to win the prize by 24 points in what should be an excellent game to finish what has been another excellent season of Amateur football . SOCIAL NOTES

UMPIRES CORNER by Leah Gallagher and Peter Simpson

`~r six teams today, this is the only game worth 1~ playing and at the end of the day when the victors are celebrating there will be another team who wear white that the day will be of mixed emotions, elation of a grand final appointment and the disappointment (or elation again) that the season is over . To all teams in today's Grand Finals we at Umpi res' Corner wish every one the best in their quests . MARKING THE BALL 8 .0 8.1 A mark is catching the ball directly from the kick of another player, no less than 10 metres distant, the ball being held a reasonable time and not having been touched in transit from kick to catch . 8.1 .1 A mark shall be awarded to a player who .crosses the boundary line from the playing field but controls the ball before it has passed completely over the boundary line . If the field umpire is in doubt he/she should consult the boundary umpire . 8 .1 .2 A mark shall be allowed when the ball is caught and controlled on the goal, behind or boundary line . 8 .1 .3 A mark will be awarded where a ball in flight strikes an umpire, or any other authorised official or replaced player. 8.2 When a player takes a mark or is given a free kick, an opponent is permitted to stand on the mark or spot where this occurrence took place . 8 .2.1 Only one opponent may stand on a player's mark . 8.2 .2 No other player is allowed within a corridor which extends from five metres either side of the mark to five metres either side of, and a five metre radius behind the player with the ball . This corridor is known as the ten metre protected area . 8 .2.3 In the event of an opponent encroaching over the mark when a player is kicking for goal and a goal is kicked, the field umpire shall give the 'all clear' and the goal is registered . If a goal has not been kicked, the player shall be given the option of another kick, and the mark advanced 25 metres . When you umpire in the low grades and have no official goal umpires all year it's a blessing to finally have them around . Just remember Dirk Kramer and

George Gioras they go out with you at the start of the game and they should be in position when the game is started ! Will wonders never cease!! For those who didn't turn up to the Annual General Meeting because you hate long meetings you will be surprised to know that this one lasted a grand total of 14 minutes, which left heaps of time to drink plenty of fluids after a hard night's training . From the meeting came the new office bearers for season 1998. President: Wayne Hinton, Vice President : Colin Segota, Secretary : Richard Eastwood, Assistant See : John Kelly, Social Secretary: Chris Stevens (S), Ordina ry Members: Mark Bushfield, Leah Gallagher . There are two positions vacant - that of the treasurer and assistant treasurer . If anyone is interested please see the Executive committee . Also from the meeting the Woody Award to Ken Walker. The White Wacker is given for this fine effort: Paul Tuppen, keen to impress, gets to his game early Saturday morning, changes into his gear, walks into a team's room, checks the boots of the players, has a chat to players, goes back to the umpires' room and then realises that he is due to umpire the next day on Sunday. Into the semi finals of the bounce off: G. Thwaites v. R. Eastwoo d K . Segota v. W. Hinton SOCIAL NOTE S The President has announced that his fridge is open on 13th Septembe r, so come on down and clean the fridge out . Also the Pub Run is on $ 10 down the sock and the best trigger point of the year, up to the "Wick' on the 18th September. Only a couple more Saturdays to go, keep running guys . SIMMO & SPIDER

The COUNT FINANCIAL GROUP is a network of accounting firms presently totalling over 300 Australia wide, who in addition to traditional accounting services, specialise in FINANCIAL PLANNING . It is now a well established concept that FINANCIAL PLANNING is no longer only applicable to the wealthy . The myth that you have to earn a huge income to accumulate wealth today is false .

Money makes Money, so Wealth Creation is easier if you maximise the money you have invested by implementing a sound and simple plan . You must look at your investment time frame to meet your goals and needs . We can help you achieve your "Goals", as we have done with many of our clients, Big and Small, and also for those referred to us . Those who have achieved for most from Financial Planning are those who have implemented a plan . This is your opportunity to do the same . As a Member of COUNT, we offer you an initial interview Free . Please contact our financial planners David Scott or Gail Ryan for an appointment on 9500 051 1 We also hold Seminars on various aspects of Financial Planning, which you may wish to attend, so do not hesitate to contact us to find out when your next one is .

COACHES' CLIPBOARD AFCANAFA

Coaching 速 Whom listen to? ~oughout the last (15) years, I've constantly wondered about the best way a coach or cricket captain can obtain the best result from his players . (The term best result - is difficult to deflne succinctly and is greatly determined by Committee expectations . Is it the highest number of wins in a year? Or is the preparation for something further ahead? Finals? Next Year? ) And not many coaches would back themselves to be the all-knowing, always-correct interpreter of the many things that happen in football. So given that the coach relies on external people to assist him, whom does he listen to? How does he sort the "wheat from the chaff? How does he take that external advice and use it for the betterment of his Club ? Let's take a common Saturday. During the game, other coaching assistants and Chairmen of Selectors offer advice . When do you take that and when do you ignore it? After the game, Committeemen, supporters, players, parents opposition players and supporters, are all available to discuss the game . But for every coach when he gets to his isolation and thinks of the worrying tasks at hand, he must be able to find inner peace . And it is at these times that you must have a clear understanding of: 1) what you like to see in a game (eg. accountable football v. non-accountable) 2) what you think are the main ingredients for success (eg. one %ers, long kicking, intensive training) 3) what positions/instructions/training you think are best for your team . (eg . best tall in ruck or full forward, disciplining 25 mt penalties, your reaction to low numbers at training, risk one of your good, solid players after injury or start him in the 2's ) I like the term "what you like" as "goalposts" . My first two goalposts have been developed from my experiences with four outstandingly good men :

Uil~!

, LE ~ ,

Allan Olle (SKOB coach 76-78), Bernie Sheehy all time football guru; Bernie Dunn - the best possessionstyle coach and methodologist outside AFL and Neil Buazard - the epitome of preparation, determination to sud&ed and ongoing adaptability to "current" thinking on the modern athlete. However, it is probably the third goalpost that coaches tend to spend most of their time on. And here is you big choice. Whom do you listen to? Match Committee only? Or do you avail yourself of all the advice from committeemen, parents, ex-AFL acquaintances, ex-Club Champions, supporters, VAFA officials . . . . . . . . . . . and on and on . Personally, although Bernie Sheehy probably thinks "I'm too constructive", I tend to listen to nearly everyone . As well, I'm very lucky to have John Toohey as my assistant this year. We both feel comfortable with each other, we laugh a fair bit, he's terrific with the players and he's a good watcher of all important aspects of our play . But a coach at the end of the day/ end of a set period, must feel comfortable with himself that he has taken enough of the advice/ear bashings and explored all reasonable avenues to attain the best result - as defined by yourself and the Committee. And as coach (with a sacking only four losses away!) it's obviously politically important to have the President and Committee understanding and comfortable with all the match committee thinking and also to have their feedback and historical viewpoint on relevant issues. So good luck with all your listening . Some pearls of wisdom could well be in that next idle conversation . Hope your team wins today. Peter Hannan Senior Coac h De La Salle OC

U19 SECTION by Brett Connel l

No second chances after today . Review - Second Semi-Final s Section 1 ~n fine conditions and magnificent playing facilities at Trinity playing fields Bulleen the two powerhouses of the VAFA competition of the last couple of years battled it out for the right of direct entry into the Grand Final, and after a solid start the Blues never looked back . Leading comfortably at quarter time the Blues added (15) goals to (5) to run out convincing winners and prove my prediction of Xavs being favourites as nowhere near the mark . With Kordick, Sturrock, Johnson and Terrill in fine form the Blues were never really threatened after the first break an d with Camm and Christie on target up forward the Xavs were powerless to stop the Blues machine . Better Xavs on the day were Deane-Johns, Conno lly and Webb, with Dillon and Ireland being their only multiple goalkickers . Section 2 In a tight match between two very evenly matched teams Coll egians and Whitefriars fought out a highly entertaining match at Trinity playing fields as a curtain-raiser to the Section 1 match . After an even first half the Friars defence led by Winterburn an d Crough was on top, while the Lions had fine players in Champion an d Moon. In the second half the trend continued with players obviously aware of what was at stake for the winner. The Lions fought back from a half time deficit to hold a slender lead at the final break . However with Baxter, Clark, Hosking an d Byrne exerting their influence on the game the Lions steadied the better to book a place in the Section (2) Grand Final next week . Other better players for the Friars were Treyvaud, Walsh, Hilton and Winch . Section (2) Blue Ormond opened up with all guns blazing against Premiership favourites St . Bedes Mentone Tigers and although the scoreboard was not a true indication, the Moods could well have been in with a chance had they kicked more accurately. However with Kingwell up forward booting (8) and onballers Ryan and Wintle taking control the Moods could only manage (9) goals to (15) in the remaining three quarters to finish second on the day . The Tigers were dominant in many positions however Conno lly an d Serofm stood out, while for the Monds Naughton, Broadhurst an d Dale were prominent, along with never-say-die players in Brown, Stasiak and Gleeson. Section (2) Red Old Trinity proved my tipping was well off the

mark with a comprehensive victory over ladder leader Yarra '" Valley at Scammel l Reserve last Saturday . Leading by (5) goals at quarter time while keeping the Valley goalless, the OT's were about to slip into gear and they did . With Medlin and Grelg (5) up forward on fire the OT's looked ominous, and with Shaughnessy, Jones, Hall an d Passador at dominiating the writing was on the wall for the Valle} early in the piece . They added another (15) goals to thF Valleys (11) to win comfortably in the finish . Yarn Valley were best served by a solid team perfomance and will be looking forward to today's game with St Leos Emmaus to make sure that they get the opportu nity to have another crack at the OT's on Grand Fina Day. Previews - PreliminaryFinals Section 1 Reigning Premiers Old Xaverians face Ob Paradians in today's do or die preliminary final at th Ted Ajani Reserve . The score stands at (1) win apiec and both by similar margins, with the more recen result being in favour of the Xavs by a healthy WE points . Hilbert, McGuigan, Barrett and the Carrouse have been prominent for the Xavs in the clashes t date and will no doubt be watched closely by the OP' : who have been equally as well, served by Lynch Vecchio, Ventura and Boyd. Both teams score wit ease and boast solid mid-fielders and attacking bael lines . The match itself like any preliminary final will b a hard tough affair with my leaning towards the reigr tug premiers by a whisker. Selection : Old Xaverians Section 2 Much like Section 1 the results of previous matel es played during 1997 between Whitefriars and 01 Scotch sees both teams with (1) win each, and very li tle separating each team from the other. Players sue as Junkeer and Frankenburg have stood out in pa matches against the Friars, as to have Winch an Beattie been prominent for the Friars. Add to if equation players of the calibre of Sullivan, Northe and Winterburn (Whitefriars) and H awkins, Groi and Hanneman (Old Scotch) and the game should I a beauty from go to whoa. With the winner deservir the right to challenge Collegians for the pennant ne week both sides will be pumped up to gain the asce : dancy and lead from the start, in what promises to 1 a very skilful game of football . In a toss up given tl eveness of the two teams the Friars should get tl points narrowly . THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1f

Selection: Whitefriars Section ( 2) Blue Ormond must firstly dispose of an in-form AJAX team before it looks ahead to clash with the Tigers next week, and with Czarny, Golvin an d Segal in-form for the Jackas this match should go right down to the wire. The Jackas have improved steadily since the second half of the year, and although the scoreline this year stands at (2) (0) in the Monds favour finals are a different kettle of fish . While the Jackas will rely heavily on Blashki, Sloane an d Waisman, the Monds have key players in Robbins, Black, Naughton and Wonnacott, add to this Ashford, Cu ll en, Stephens an d Pasara and in most positions the Monds should hold the edge. In what I predict will be another fine display of U 19 finals football the Monds will get the points by (3) majors . Selection : Ormond Section (2) Red Yarra Valley on the rebound face the form side of the section St . Leos Emmaus who came storming into final's contention in the second half of the season . The wins stand at (1) each with the most recent victory going to the Two Blues in early August . Yarra Valley will be looking to Thompson, Mcilraith, Coleman an d Searle, while the Two Blues prime movers in Devlin, Willis, McClusky and Cashen will be relied upon once again to get the ball rolling . Overall nothing separates either team on paper and it will no doubt come down to which team settles first in this cut throat final . The Valley have been steady all season but over the last month have faltered somewhat, while the Two Blues have been strong winners more regularly and I favour them to advance to the Grand Final next week against Old trinity.
