EDITORIAL Our family had a working relationship 40 years strong with William Buck. Their team really understood our business. Our biggest challenge in the last 5 years has been seeking finance as we executed our growth plans. Our advisors have been our greatest allies and outcomes have been significant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30% increase in sales, financial stability and most importantly, peace of mind, which lets us sleep well at night.

EDITORIAL

Brett Connell On behalf of the VAFA Board and Admin team, welcome to season 2018 for what promises to be another vibrant and exciting season ahead for us all. Plenty has happened since St Kevin’s OB raised the LA Adamson to signal the end to the 2017 VAFA season proper. Elsternwick Park (EP) has been transformed before our very eyes, the ground has been re-surfaced and re-shaped, now resembling Trevor Barker Oval in Sandringham, and the new pavilion and changerooms are also taking shape. Tenant club Old Melburnians will play Old Scotch for the Australian Cup on Saturday April 28, in what will be the first official match at the “new” Elsternwick Park. The VAFA has secured long-term tenancy at EP along with Old Melburnians. For all clubs within our Association, we look forward to opening up the facility for the use and benefit of all once we transition across 2018 – the future certainly is exciting. While EP will be in a state of transition across 2018, it remains the home of the VAFAUA. With big plans to increase numbers, quality and running members benefits, our 300 strong umpiring members are integral to our success and we wish all VAFAUA members and coaches a successful season. The State Government, Sport and Recreation Victoria, the AFL and AFL Victoria, Old Melburnians FC and the Bayside City Council are all thanked for their support of this much needed re-development that will continue to position the VAFA as the pre-eminent community footballing body in the state both on and off the field. Dave Murray (Head Coach) and Luke Mahoney (Assistant Coach) led a VAFA representative team to Ireland in October 2017. The tour was again a huge success and a highlights package detailing the trip can be found at vafa.com.au – once again the VAFA offers a point of difference to our coaches and players. Female participation continues to grow and expand exponentially while at the same time challenge in terms of facilities and amenities – we are all part of the solution to this and it is an exciting time ahead with the Wilson women’s competition swelling to 63 teams representing 48 clubs this season. On facilities, there has been a major push from the VAFA and community sport stakeholders recently, in regards to a third oval in the Elsternwick Park precinct to assist with the continued growth of participation, particularly females in the region. While the Council voted 4:3

against – what it demonstrates is the united voice of the VAFA and sport at all levels in general is strong and will be heard. Our relationship with AFL Victoria continues to prosper with every VAFA club having access to an AFL Vic Football Development Manager going forward. We have made some structural changes to accommodate the co-ordination of these valuable resources as we are particularly focused on the sustainability of our clubs into the future. On the back of other community leagues looking to alter their structures in the hope of growing and enticing teams from other competitions, we need to make certain every VAFA clubs is supported, nurtured and continually made to feel part of our broad VAFA community – and yes we’re talking about Peninsula OBs & South Mornington in the South, St. Johns OC, Francis Xavier Beaconsfield in the South East, Yarra Old Grammarians, Mt. Lilydale in the East, Preston Bullants, Old Paradians in the North, St. Bernards OC, PEGs in the North West and Williamstown CYMS and Westbourne in the West. We are only as strong as our member clubs and it will remain a focus for the VAFA Board and Administration going forward. We also welcome new staff members Haydn O’Connor - Umpire Operations Manager (January) replacing Brian Woodhead and we are pleased to advise that we have filled our new position of Media, Marketing & Events Officer, with Alisha Min who will start with us in early April, joining our Commercial Operations team. At our Season Launch on March 28, we acknowledged a number of Certificate of Merit winners (who are recognised individually further within this weekend’s edition). Thanks to Phil Coghlan (Peninsula OB) who responded so eloquently on behalf of all recipients. We also inducted Ken Petrucco (96.5 Inner FM) as a Life Member of the VAFA. Former VAFA CEO Michael Sholly was acknowledged for his 13 years of service to the VAFA and Sportscover, in particular Peter Nash, were publicly acknowledged for their 30-year involvement in the VAFA, which ceased on March 1. The highlight of the night was clearly the “Open Mike” session where Mike Sheahan spoke candidly to Andrew Ireland about his days as an Ivanhoe and VAFA representative player, his love of the Demons and playing days with the Collingwood FC, as well as his hugely successful stints at both the Brisbane Lions and currently the Sydney Swans. Exciting times ahead, all the very best to all involved with VAFA footy and see you at the footy.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Nick Armistead With less than one week remaining until the first bounce of the VAFA season, it’s time to look at each club in William Buck Premier and how they are situated ahead of another outstanding year of Amateur football. St Kevin’s OB After claiming their maiden William Buck Premier/A-Grade flag last year, SKOB remains the team to beat heading into the 2018 season. Despite clinging on to a thrilling threepoint victory over Collegians, it was SKOB’s multitude of scoring options and harassment of the ball carrier that set them apart last year. They lost just two games and recorded an average winning margin of 55.5 points in one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory. The departures of coach Shannon Grant, Mark Jamar, Ben Dowd (retired) and Steven Salopek (retired), while disappointing from a spectator point of view, will open further opportunities for their younger players who have claimed one Holmesglen U19 Premier and two Premier Reserves flags in the past two years. Dowd and Salopek will be sorely missed after each played starring roles through last year’s finals series (who can forget Salopek’s performance against the Blues?), but the full-time services of premiership midfielder, Jack Holden, alongside inclusions James Corboy, Daniel Romero and Pele Manivong means SKOB’s pressure will be a strength of theirs yet again. Co-coaches, Tom Williams and Guy Martyn, have reportedly taken to their new role with ease and captain Anthony Lynch will lead on-field as he comes off a career year. Collegians If off-season recruitment was a direct indicator of future success, pencil Collegians in for another grand final appearance in 2018. The Lions, who were leaders in attracting talent prior to last season, have added a-grade polish to their starting line-up with the recruitment of Taylor Hunt (Richmond FC) and Big V captain, George Burbury (Old Geelong). Both players will join Sam Hibbins and Viv Michie in a star-studded midfield anchored by Tom Penberthy and Kalem Post through the ruck. However, the key to the Lions’ set-up remains the fitness of Lachie Ferguson who led the Woodrow Medal count before going down with an ankle injury against SKOB in Round 11. Despite making it back in time for finals, Ferguson was still under an injury cloud – albeit a Lachie Ferguson under an injury cloud is still worth its weight in gold. After a scope to clear up the scar tissue over the pre-season, the star forward will hopefully be fit and firing within the first month of the season. University Blues After three consecutive preliminary final exists, University Blues have gone hard over the pre-season with several talented additions. Former GWS-listed midfielder Sam Schulz joins Piers Flanagan, Ross Young, Jeremy Taylor, Kieran Harper and Clayton Hinkley as ex-league talent, while Ayce Cordy is expected to line-up and take pressure off Cam Williams in the ruck. After slotting 82 goals in his previous two seasons at Noble Park, Tim Harper will join Kieran, Tom Quinn and Tim Gaeppen in a seriously dangerous looking forward 50 for the Blues, while Nick Rippon will hopefully register at least one appearance with

@NickArmistead brother, Marshall. Dale Hinkley and Riley McMahon are two notable departures for the Blues, but their list is a strong as any in William Buck Premier and the expectation to go one further than the previous three seasons is strong amongst the playing group. De La Salle Led by new standalone skipper, Tom Humphrey, and fellow leaders, Sam Williams (VC), Jason Tutt (VC), Jake Williams, Matt Fieldsend and young gun Liam Murphy, it’s easy to get excited about the prospect of a De La run towards finals. Since going down to Collegians by 15 points in last year’s semi-final, De La’s list has undergone a lot of change with the departures of Matt Cullinan, Tom Nicholls and Sam Pickett (retired). The return of Hugh Nicholson, however, is of the utmost importance to De La as he provides an important link between the midfield and forward 50. After kicking 44 goals across half forward in 2015 and 2016, ‘Nitcho’ relocated to Cairns last year where he was named league best & fairest with 22 votes from his 15 games. His return should help make up for the loss of Pickett and Nicholls in the forward half and provide a spark when the chips are down. Matt Beckmans will add quality to one of the strongest midfield groups in William Buck Premier, while Brodie McLaughlin and Nick Nagel should, like Nitcho, help improve De La’s offensive arsenal. Old Xaverians Many were surprised with Old Xaverians in 2017 after they claimed just nine wins and a tie in their premiership defence. Don’t expect the same in 2018. Xavs will be back amongst the top tier this season after adding former St Kilda ruckman, Jason Holmes, alongside Nathan Batsanis and a full-time Jordan Kelly. The former college basketballer has taken to James McDonald’s game plan with ease and will be near-on impossible to beat either at the centre bounce or at stoppages around the ground. Furthermore, Brendan Goss will return at peak fitness and recreate the one-two punch with Matt Handley that was so important during their 2016 premiership run. While the top three will likely remain the same as last year, the battle for fourth will be just as interesting, and we know Xavs don’t need the double chance to take out the flag. Old Melburnians Old Melburnians mirrored their 2016 performance of eight wins and a tie last year but will be looking to build upon those solid foundations in 2018. Their top-end talent is as strong as any side, with Tom Paule, Josh Freezer, Matt Thomas, Nick De Steiger and Al Armstrong elite in their respective positions. After he played a leading role in Footscray’s finals campaign last year, De Steiger will return to OM’s for the full season, while they’ve added former Old Carey senior co-coach, Paul O’Connell, to assist Nathan Brown. While OM’s are on an upward trajectory, they may find it difficult to penetrate the top four this season – but continued internal growth and the prospect of high-level recruitment means it won’t be that way for long. Od Trinity 2017 was a year of change for the T’s as they slumped to seventh place on the ladder and parted ways with senior coach, Adam Andrews. With Luke Pacconi and Brendan Iezzi at the helm for the final five games, the T’s were able to win their last three to avoid relegation and reset for

a renewed assault in 2018. Former Marcellin champion, Bernie Dinneen, has since taken the reigns of the 201516 grand finalists and expects the internal talent at his disposal will help turn the team’s fortunes around. One of the biggest issues for the T’s in recent years has been a lack of a tall marking target inside their forward 50, with the three mid-sized pillars of Ed Weatherson, Seb Nicolosi and Alex Polidoros carrying the load admirably. However, the addition of North Melbourne VFL-listed forward, Liam Whelan, could potentially change all that when and if he plays Amateurs. St Bedes/Mentone Tigers Five losses in their final five games was a disappointing end to the season for St Bedes/Mentone Tigers, but they still managed to finish half a game clear of Uni Blacks and avoid relegation. The main aim for the Tigers in 2018 will be re-establishing Brindisi Street Oval as a fortress opposition clubs fear travelling to after winning just three of their nine home games last year. The big-name recruit of the offseason was former GWS and Carlton player Liam Sumner who has joined the Tigers as a playing assistant. They’ve also landed Sandringham Zebras players Nathan Smith, James Sziller and Robert Iudica as well as former SANFL onballer Steve Tahana. Kye Beveridge, Jack Hellier, Lachlan Mirams, Brayden O’Toole and Tate Short are all on VFL lists as well, so the more games they can get out of that group, the better placed the Tigers will be to climb the ladder and push for finals. Old Brighton Fresh off a Premier B Grand Final victory against Old Scotch, Old Brighton re-enter William Buck Premier for the first time since 2014. The Tonners were the epitome of depth at Premier B level with flags in both the seniors and reserves but will need to elevate yet again in order to compete at the level required in the VAFA’s top section. And who better to lead the charge than reigning GT Moore Medallist, Harry Hill, and fellow co-captain and Ian Cordner Medallist, Dylan Verney? They were both at the forefront of the Tonners’ success last year and will lead a young, but exciting group into the next phase of the club’s history. Despite not playing in last year’s grand final, Alex Mastromanno, was a key part of the Tonners’ forward 50 in the first half of the season but has departed Brighton Beach Oval for the South East FL. Old Scotch The Cardinals were unlucky at the end of the 2017 season, going down to the Tonners in both the seniors and reserves decider at Trevor Barker Oval. However, the fact remains they were good enough to play off in both grand finals, illustrating their depth and how two years back down in Premier B allowed the club to rebuild and develop younger players. Now they’ve returned to William Buck Premier, the Cardinals have welcomed back star midfielder, Nick Jamieson, after four years at Footscray in the VFL. Jamieson will join young guns Max Martin, Sam Lynch and Will Carrington as the Cardinals return as a much stronger side than three years ago.

PREMIER B

Nick Armistead

@NickArmistead

THE 2018 PREMIER B SEASON IS UPON US. We bid farewell to both Old Brighton and Old Scotch as they both return to William Buck Premier after earning deserved promotion via a 2017 grand final appearance, while Fitzroy and Peninsula will look to reload upon their relegation to Premier C. However, this means we welcome four new sides into Premier B and excitement surrounds the impact University Blacks, Beaumaris, Old Haileybury and Caulfield Grammarians will have on this section in 2018. What this also means is we now have Mark ‘Choco’ Williams (Ajax), Mark ‘Bomber’ Riley (St Bernard’s) and the newly-appointed Guy ‘Bluey’ McKenna (Beaumaris) each coaching in the VAFA’s secondhighest section. The ability of our clubs to attract firstclass talent has always been strong and these three former AFL leaders are a prime example. Ajax In his second year at the helm, Mark Williams will look to build upon his side’s nine wins from 2017 where they missed finals by a game and a tick over 10%. They were the only other real finals contender for most of the season but were unable to convert their strengths into regular and consistent on-field success. A significant loss of players to the Maccabi Games offered little assistance en route to a potential finals berth. Ajax stalwart, Oliver Hoffman, spoke with VAFA Media and said the first season under Choco helped build the foundations of a successful game plan, with the Games allowing several reserves players the chance to experience senior football and fast-track their development. “Everyone is very much excited (about the prospect of finals) and we know exactly what we need to do and how to do it,” he said. Beaumaris A year after claiming the Premier B flag, Beaumaris found the going tough in 2017 and recorded just three wins for a 10th-placed finish and subsequent relegation. However, they finished the year strongly after winning their first game in Round 14 so should enter 2018 with a mild breath of confidence. Guy McKenna’s appointment as senior coach bodes as the perfect partnership with the Sharks as they look to develop their young talent over the next two or three 4

years for a chance at sustained success in William Buck Premier. Caulﬁed Grammarians After winning 16 of their 18 home and away games, it was a disappointing end to the Fields’ year when they went down to Old Haileybury by 48 points at Casey Fields. Despite this, they did earn promotion and it was well-deserved after a straight sets exit in 2016. Declan Reilly was unstoppable forward of centre with 53 goals tying him as leading goal kicker with the Bloods’ Nathan Waite. Jesse Toniolo’s departure for the SFNL is certainly a loss, but the Fields will rely on stars, Tim Nixon and Will Barker, as they aim to become Premier B mainstays yet again. Mazenod Joining Premier B after securing the 2016 Premier C flag, the Nodders were up against it after two rounds last year whereby they suffered huge losses to St Bernard’s (113) and Old Brighton (74). As such they improved to snatch eight wins and finish sixth, including five victories by less than three goals but their percentage of 70.48 meant they were rarely in finals conversation. Once again, their season looks destined to be decided in the first three rounds with tough clashes against Uni Blacks, Ajax and Beaumaris. If they can claim two wins, it will go a long way to setting up a successful 2018. Monash Blues Making the finals was a sensational effort for the Blues in 2017 after they commenced the season 2-4. They did, however, fall short of progressing passed week one for the second year in a row when they fell to St Bernard’s by 13 points. Six wins from their last seven games gives them confidence heading into Round 1. A huge group of ins offsets the potential loss of Big U19’s representative Ethan East and a few others, but expect the Blues to improve yet again this season. Old Carey Off-season recruitment had the VAFA world talking about the Panthers at length in the early stages of last year, but the season never really got going as they won just six of their 18 games. Former Carlton and GWS utility, Kristian Jaksch, joins the likes of Marc THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

Lock, Jason Ashby and Sam Cust as the Panthers’ topend talent continues to grow. With a season under their belts at Premier B level, fully expect the Panthers’ to make a charge for finals in 2018. Old Haileybury Old Haileybury surprised some pundits with their grand final victory last year, making it two from their past three years. The Bloods finished second with 11 wins and five behind grand final opponents Caulfield but, as they did in 2015, exploded on the main stage and ran out 48-point winners. Their list hasn’t undergone much change as they rely on Team of the Year representatives Peter Shakallis, James Paul and Nathan Waite to ensure a prolonged stay in Premier B this time around. Parkdale Vultures The Vultures avoided relegation by the smallest of margins in 2017 and will be keen to ensure they stay in Premier B prior to Round 18 this year. They’ll enter the season with a much younger but exciting group after the retirement of captain Tim Boland and departure of leading goal kicker Matt Boland. 2016 GT Moore Medallist and star midfielder, Charlie Dillon, is the newly-appointed skipper at the Vultures and firmly believes the club can produce an improved performance this season. Dillon’s thirst for the contest is second-to-none and we can expect an exciting brand of football under his leadership through 2018. St Bernard’s The Snow Dogs returned to Premier B strongly last year with four wins to start the season, but eventually missed the double chance and went down to Old Scotch in one of the all time classic preliminary finals. Heading into this season under Mark Riley, the Snow Dogs have a number of talented players on VFL lists, including Chris Peart and Edyn Sibbald, but several inclusions means they will threaten Premier B yet again.

Uni Blacks Needing an unlikely Round 18 victory over St Kevin’s at the end of last season, the Blacks were unable to secure the win and will therefore return to Premier B after six years. Injuries and unavailability’s derailed their season last year and many argue they were the strongest team in long time to suffer relegation. 2018 bodes as the year of the Blacks with players the ilk of Bede Mahon (reigning Woodrow Medallist), Lochie Dornauf and Hugh Curnow set to dominate Premier B.

PREMIER C

Nick Armistead

@NickArmistead

PREMIER C PREVIEW Premier C was the epitome of competitive balance in 2017 with 3-8 on the ladder still a chance of playing finals 16 rounds into the season. The two true contenders across the course of the year, Caulfield Grammarians and Old Haileybury, played off in the grand final and thus left us for Premier B, while Kew and Hampton Rovers were relegated on the back of a combined nine wins. Filling the void left by those four clubs are Fitzroy, Peninsula, St Mary’s Salesian and PEGS. We’ll tell you a bit more about those sides as we investigate the 10 competing for the Premier C flag in 2018. Fitzroy It’s been a few years since Fitzroy were in Premier C but a combination of injuries and a loss of personnel meant they battled for just five wins last year. While just seven points and .3% over the length of the season separated both them and Parkdale from ninth spot on the ladder, reloading in Premier C may not be the worst case for the Roys. They’re now under the leadership of Big V assistant Luke Mahoney and after GT Moore Medallist and Roys star, Rory Angiolella, gave up the captaincy, will be led by young gun Julian Turner. We know the capabilities of the Roys after they just narrowly missed Premier B finals in 2016, so expect a fightback at Brunswick St Oval this year. Marcellin Marcellin broke a long-standing seven-game finals hoodoo last year by taking care of Williamstown CYMS in the first semi but were unable to back it up against a rampaging Caulfield the following week. They were unlucky to miss out on the double chance with the same amount of wins as Old Haileybury (11) but will be buoyed by their minor post-regular season success. Jarrod Carlson relinquished his role as senior coach over the off-season and Glenn Cox took up the post again after he was first appointed in late 2008. With a strong leadership group and a 50th-year anniversary to celebrate, the Eagles should push for finals once more. Old Camberwell The Wellers will be looking to start the season in the same vein as 2017 when they secured back-to-back wins. They were primed for a shot at final before 6

suffering six losses in their final nine games. Ben Hart was the main catalyst for the Wellers and, as the reigning Zachariah Medallist, will lead a largely unchanged line-up into the new season. Three of their first four games are against teams who finished outside the four in 2017 so the Wellers have the opportunity to establish themselves as a finals contender early in the year. Old Geelong Under the guidance of Big V Champion, Nick Burke, Old Geelong narrowly missed finals last year and will be hell-bent on going (at least) one place better than fifth in 2018. While the loss of George Burbury to Collegians would hurt any side, Ogs will attempt to fill the void with a bevy of talented ins. Jez Nettlefold had a debut year to remember at Lady Como with a best & fairest award, and he will need to continue that form alongside the boys who claimed the Division 1 flag in 2016 for the Ogs to take the next step into finals. Old Ivanhoe Old Ivanhoe’s inconsistencies have been welldocumented over the past two years, but fully expect the Chelsworth Park natives to iron them out and press for promotion in 2018. After finishing eighth with eight wins in 2017, the Hoers announced a newlook coaching line-up capable of striking fear into any opposition with former captain, Jarrod Geischen, taking the reins alongside AFL-experienced trio, Jeff Gieschen (Director of Caoching), John Stevens (Senior Assistant) and High-Performance Coach, David Buttifant. Haydn Heta’s departure for the Northern is a loss, but with on-field leadership from Mal Mitris and Nick Reeves-Smyth, along with a talented young list who took out the Section 3 flag last year, the Hoers are placed perfectly for a shot at ending their fouryear stint in Premier C. Old Mentonians The Panthers were another who had a great shot of playing finals last year after winning their first three on the trot. However, like many others, injuries and unavailability’s struck and the Panthers managed just six more wins for the year. For the second consecutive year, they’ve cleaned up with far more ins than outs and with Comrey Edgeworth and Jack Davis leading the charge, will be more threatening this year.

PEGS PEGS return to Premier C for the first time since 2015 after they stormed home for one of the greatest grand final victories in the history of our competition last year. Trailing by as much as 57 points mid-way through the second term, the Bombers exploded with 10 second half goals to three, storming home for a 13-point win over St Mary’s Salesian. Dane Pound was named VAFA Divisions Coach of the Year as the inspirational leader of the premiers and it seems as though his leadership has been lost on nobody. They’ve lost just nine players from their entire 2017 playing list and attracted more than 25 new or returning names, giving themselves every opportunity to not just stay in Premier C, but push for finals. Peninsula OB The Pirates climbed to their highest-ever section at the end of 2016 when they fought off in the grand final and rose to Premier B for the first time. Unfortunately, they were unable to play at home for most of the year which railroaded any potential run of form, culminating in just three wins and a drop back down to Premier C. However, with eight straight grand final losses at senior level, the Pirates will use lessons learnt from Premier B to help in their quest for a maiden senior flag. Sam Glenn has been named replacement skipper for Stu Grigg, while Shane Mottram has taken the reins as senior coach.

Goal kicking dynamo Manny Dolan will only improve after his experiences in Ireland with the Big V side, while the size – or lack thereof – of Ferndale Park will surprise a lot of opposition and play right into the Saints’ hands.

Williamstown CYMS The ever-competitive Williamstown CYMS will fancy their chances in 2018 after playing off in the finals last year and attracting a large chunk of talent from the WRFL over the off-season. Conversely, they’ve lost very little in terms of numbers and have a couple of boys, including Nick Ebinger and Taite Sharp, on VFL lists. If they can get enough games out of their VFLlisted players and return the Fearon to the cauldron it has been in the past, the CYs will go deep in 2018.

BEARS, SHARKS STRIKE AT LIGHTNING PREMIERSHIP WEEKEND On March 24 and 25, the VAFA held two women’s lightning premierships at Keysborough Playing Fields. 24 teams took to the field over two sensational and enthusiastic days, with Kew Bears (2) and Beaumaris claiming the two trophies on offer. The talent on offer was outstanding and the VAFA community has a lot to look forward to with the unbelievable growth of women’s football and the increase in talent across 2018.

OFFICIAL WELCOME As previously written in Brett Connell’s editorial, the VAFA welcomes Haydn O’Connor as Umpire Operations Manager and Alisha Min as Media, Marketing and Events Officer. Haydn is a familiar face to many in the VAFA as he was named Umpire of the Year in 2017, umpired the VAFA Tour of Ireland and has officiated the past two William Buck Premier grand finals. Alisha joins us from VicSport after moving over from South Australia last year – we promise we won’t hold that against her!

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

WESTBOURNE WOMEN BALLIN’ UNDER EMMA Westbourne Grammarians announced their first-ever women’s coach recently, with former national basketballer Emma Pawlowski taking the reins. Taking to Facebook to announce the news, the Warriors interviewed Emma about her background as a proud South Australian (is there a theme in this week’s FTLOTG?) and her passion for the game. “Originally a basketballer, I played at state and national level, and my proudest achievement being an Australian Institute of Sport Scholarship holder in 2003… Dad would take me to Port Adelaide training & I couldn’t take my eyes off their drills, skills and work ethic; I was always in awe! I would kick the footy with Dad on most summer nights and whilst being at my brothers footy training, I would aimlessly wish I could be on the field also. In 2010 I took a season off basketball and during this time I trained with a women’s footy team in Adelaide. I fell back to basketball the season after, however, always regretted the decision. The experience of women’s footy has forever stuck with me, in particular, the camaraderie, the will to improve & the strong club & community spirit.”

Read Emma’s full interview on Westbourne Grammarians’ Facebook page.

VAFA LAUNCHES SEASON AT MCG The VAFA held its Season Launch last Wednesday night at the MCC Dining Room. Considered one of the favourite events on the VAFA calendar, this year’s Launch saw the induction of Ken Petrucco as a VAFA Life Member as well as six Certificate of Merit winners (pictured left-right: Brett Jensen (Old Ivanhoe), Greg Holman (Ormond), Jason Cave (Hampton Rovers), Phil Coghlan (Peninsula OB), Peter Hannan (St Kevin’s OB) and Andrew Read (Richmond Central). Mike Sheahan interviewed Andrew Ireland in a live ‘Open Mike’ session, while James Musster (Prahran Assumption) spoke about his experiences on the VAFA’s recent tour of Ireland. The night was capped off by a sublime rendition of The Wild Rover from baritone, Vincent O’Connor. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

Pisto played his junior football at St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then played Oakleigh VFA. He came to Ormond in 1995. Highlights include a reserves premiership in 1998 and reserves B&Fs in 1996 and 1999. Congratulations from everyone at Ormond and the VAFA on reaching this milestone. Round 1 sees two 100 game milestones at Uni High. 2017 Premiership captain Nick Devereux will reach the mark in our game v St Johns. Nick is a member of the successful 2010 U18 premiership team. He came to us from Flemington Juniors. Nick has developed into an excellent leader and skilled footballer capable of playing all around the ground. He leads by example and has volunteered his time to be on committee off the field and implemented initiatives that he has driven. All at UHSVU wish Nick all the best in this important game. Brenton Cross will also reach the ton in Round 1 subject to passing a fitness test. This former gazelle has been hampered by soft tissue injuries in recent times which has slowed him down to a mere mortal. A straight ahead, at the ball style typifies his approach each Saturday. Another who is serving on the committee gives a lot of his time to assist the club. All the best Crossy from all your mates at Uni High. Ed Aujard will play his 50th game this weekend and we congratulate him on this milestone.

Tom Beale is a selfless competitor who can play at both ends of the ground and is fearless when the ball needs to be won. Tom also sets high standards at training with both his work ethic and attitude. A testament to his drive is having only missed five games since joining the club in 2015. MHSOBFC congratulates Tom on his 50th game and is looking forward to another tough encounter full of hard ball gets, tackling and a couple of goals. Good luck Tom!

DIVISION 1

Nick Armistead

@NickArmistead

DIVISION 1 PREVIEW Well, what a way to finish Division 1 on the last day in 2017. With PEGS coming from 57 points down midway through the second term, we witnessed one of the all-time great grand finals at Box Hill City Oval. Can we expect more of the same this year? I hope so. With the Bombers and St Mary’s Salesian leaving us for Premier C and St John’s and Whitefriars going back down to Division 2, four new teams enter the fray. We welcome Hampton Rovers, Kew, Prahran Assumption and West Brunswick and look forward to another sensational year of Division 1 football. Brunswick NOBS Brunswick were the epitome of gutsy in 2017, fighting injury and lack of personnel to finish with five wins and avoid relegation in the final few weeks for the second year in a row. Anthony Palmer takes the reins as senior coach, replacing the outgoing Luke Mahoney, and brings with him a wealth of knowledge regarding Division 1 given he was recently in charge of Therry Penola. Daniel Mott played a number of games at senior level last year and can be pencilled in as a star of the future, while former Snow Dog Nick Burgin leads a talented group of recruits. Hampton Rovers It’s been a tough two years for Hampton Rovers as they’ve suffered the double drop from Premier B to Division 1. The Rovers won just six games in 2017 and will be looking to improve significantly but the double drop is not unfamiliar territory and they will be buoyed by the two flags that ensued in 2013-14 last time it happened. A lot of experience has left the club over the past two seasons but, on the bright side, given opportunities for the young talent to flourish on the wide expanses of Boss James Reserve. Adam McNeil spoke with VAFA Media about the enthusiasm of the young side and relished the opportunity of getting back into the winners’ column with a fastpaced and exciting brand of football.

Salesian. Reuben Blackmore-Moore has left for the Central Murray FNL and leaves a huge hole which will hopefully be filled by the host on ins looking forward to wearing the Magpies’ guernsey in 2018. Mitch Lovell is the key and his leadership will go a long way to helping the Magpies improve upon their seventhplaced finish in 2017. Kew Three wins in Premier C means Kew are back in Division 1 after two years and we are excited at the prospect of what they can produce following their 2015 flag last time they were here. Michael Shmerling has taken the reins as senior coach and will be looking to fill the void left by outgoing pair, Sam Glover and Rob Maibaum. While the Bears should expect a finals finish in 2018 with big man and goal kicking star Andrew Brazzale making a return, a lot of the excitement surrounds the women joining the competition this year as well, meaning the chance of a double flag is a real possibility. Oakleigh AFC Oakleigh’s form last season was on par with expectation with their 12 wins coming off the back of relegation the previous year. Numbers are through the roof with minimal departures combined with a large group of recruits. Expect nothing but gold from Aaron Cloke and Tim Scott again this year and another finals appearance is near shoe-in. Ormond Despite finishing second on the ladder at the conclusion of the home and away fixture, Ormond were unable to continue their strong form into the post-regular season and were bundled out in straight sets. There’s been few departures and many ins (like most sides) and they will be led by Dylan Buckley, Jeremy Simon, Blair Atkins and Matt Hine as they look to go one further this year and galvanise after the withdrawal of their women’s team.

Ivanhoe

Prahran Assumption

Ivanhoe claimed just six wins last year but can count themselves unlucky after taking it up to every side, including a win over eventual grand finalist St Mary’s

2017 was the Year of the Two Blues as they claimed both the seniors and reserves Division 2 flags just one year after suffering relegation. Last off-season

was an onslaught as they brought in several highclass performers and retained most with the biggest departure being the retiring Eric Kuret. James Musster had a year to remember with the Fullerton Medal (33 votes), a premiership medallion and BOG, and he will take lessons learnt from the VAFA Ireland trip to help elevate his game even further in 2018. With more than 20 college players under 25 on the list and pushing for senior spots, expect the Two Blues to not just maintain their position in Division 1 this time around, but to compete come September. Preston Bullants Preston Bullants are always a team to be wary of but couldn’t maintain their elite string of finals/grand final runs when they narrowly missed the four last year. Dean Calcedo was outstanding yet again and claimed his second competition best & fairest in three years. His importance, and the importance of his brother Sean, amplifies this year with the loss of grand final stars, Damon Marcon and Reed Jepson. A long list of recruits will hopefully help make up for the loss of two their finest players, but they’ve proved time and again they can never be underestimated.

Therry Penola After eight wins and a sixth-place finish last year, Therry Penola set out to improve their list over the off-season and started at the top. They announced former Essendon star, Dean Rioli would take the reins as coach and he has brought some real talent with him. Jordan Bannister will make his playing return after eight years as an AFL umpire as well as the return of brother Jarrod Bannister in the forward 50 alongside fellow Bannister, Corey. Jonathon Mullins is the other key signing for the Lions as the former Port Melbourne and Coburg player adds speed and experience to the premiership fancies. West Brunswick West Brunswick were outstanding in Division 2 and make their way up the sections on the back of 14 wins and a grand final appearance against Prahran Assumption. Bill Irving led the way again as the Westies were second for both points for (88) and against (66.8). The culture of the Westies is one of the strongest in community football and the sheer number of players wanting to don their jumper means they’ll once again compete in the higher section.

DIVISION 2

Anna Pavlou

@Annalyst_Sports

DIVISION 2 PREVIEW Welcome to 2018! Division 2 is already looking like another close battle with all 10 teams rightfully believing they have a chance of playing finals this season. We are joined by four new sides from above and below - Division 3 premiers UHS-VU and runners-up Power House while St Johns and Whitefriars join us from Division 1. All four new sides will be looking to make an impression in their new section while the remaining six teams will all lay claim to a finals berth and beyond. 2017 was an incredibly close season, with only a few games separating the top four and relegation and weekly unpredictability and upsets. We can expect more of the same this year with all teams looking evenly matched again.

went on to win 10 out of their last 12 to finish 3rd with an 11-7 record. They were surprisingly beaten by Old Paradians in the first semi-final by three points which was a disappointing end to a promising finals campaign. The Unicorns will build on their great second half of 2017 and will look to 2017 B&F winner James Tran to continue his stellar form and lead from the front. With Kane Smith (42 goals in 2017) patrolling the forward line and nine players kicking double figure goals last season, the evenness and spread of the Unicorns will trouble all contenders.

Let’s look at this year’s Division 2 contenders…

With Tim Campbelj and Mitch Wilson expected to play key roles again, the Unicorns are primed for a shot at the big dance in 2018.

Bulleen Templestowe

Old Paradians

The Bullants finished seventh with seven wins and 11 losses and are looking to improve their 2018 chances with the return of captain Michael Pace on the ball and across half-back.

Finishing fourth in 2017 after beating MHSOB in a thrilling first semi-final and bowing out of contention after a loss to Brunswick in the preliminary final by 27 points, the Raiders are eager to take the necessary steps to reach premiership glory in 2018.

The appointment of club legend Paul Robinson to the role of senior coach will lift the Bullants. Robbo’s playing career highlights reel is as good as any in the VAFA. With the loss of 2017 B&F Brodie McLaughlin, the Bullants will rely heavily on the likes of Pace, Leith Wallis, Billy Wilson and Jack Cowell to lead them to glory and their first flag since 2012. Eltham Collegians

One of the 2018 competition favourites had a 10-8 record last season and despite a slow start, won six in a row mid-year to secure their finals berth. Consistent scoring came from Michael Boundy (30 goals in 17 games) who is expected to be at his best again in 2018.

The Turtles recent off field dramas have been well-documented and with a 2017 record of 7-11 they finished eighth and avoided relegation by just 4.83 percent. The club has rallied late in the pre-season due to a lack of numbers but are now prepared to take on this season with expectation.

Consistency is a key feature of the Raiders side and they’ll be looking to David Huntley, Warren Jeffreys and Chris Kandilakis to build on their game-changing form and lead the premiership contenders into 2018.

Senior coach John Garrard returns to the driver’s seat after almost 10 years away and will bring his successful brand of football back to the Turtles. He has a knack of producing finals teams and knows what it takes to win.

The 2017 minor premiers finished their Division 3 campaign with a 16-2 record, but fell short when it mattered most and were beaten by UHS-VU in the grand final. The House now move into Division 2 for the first time since 2000 and are ready for redemption in an even section.

The Turtles boasted the fifth best defence last year but were the second-lowest scoring team with most of their points coming from Fraser Cloney and Tim Woods who booted nearly 100 goals between them in 2017.

Power House

Emmaus St Leos

Five-year senior coach Anthony Voyage moves into a new Director of Coaching role to make way for newly appointed Senior Coach, VAFA legend Dave Matthews, a century goal kicker for Caufield Grammarians and premiership coach for University Blues and Bulleen Templestowe. The House have also added former Western Bulldogs player Paul Dooley to the coaching team.

In 2017, the Animals finished sixth with a 9-9 record and missed the finals by a game. Over the summer, the Animals have been rebuilding their team and their new clubrooms which will be the envy of most VAFA clubs.

The loss of star forward Nick Nagel comes at a cost, but the return of best and fairest winner Fiachra O’Deasmunaghiagh as well as some handy recruits will steady the ship at the Ross Gregory.

Gun forwards Chris Beluszar and Daniel Hill shared 70 goals between them last year so the Animals will look to the twin towers as their key to 2018 success.

With small forward River Carroll (40 goals) and Ben Circosta, as well as the return of Rhys Gregory to support veteran Adam Collett, Power House should make the most of their 2018 opportunities.

Eltham will need another big year from Mathew Crooks and Troy Jinnette to give them a shot at finals.

Senior coach Jason Fennell has been working his troops hard through pre-season and alongside his senior leadership team of Chris Beluszar, Harry Davis and Jon Kapiniaris will have the boys primed for Round 1 and a shot at finals football. Melbourne High School Old Boys After dropping five of their first six games in 2017, the Unicorns

St John’s St John’s 2017 season is one the club is keen to put behind them. Relegated from Division 1 with a 3-15 record, the club has made some wholesale off-field changes in a bid to return some on-field success.

Senior coach Brendan Payne led his men to a stellar Division 3 grand final victory over Power House by 21 points, which secured their spot in Division 2 for the first time in nine years. The Vultures dominated Division 3, with a 15-3 record and a widespread of contributors across the ground, including Grand Final BOG Brandon Jackson, who kicked 42 goals and averaged 18 disposals and newly-appointed co-captains Charlie Jackson and Joseph Turner.

Watch out for Esubalew Ramsay who finished fourth in the Hutchinson Medal.

The appointment of former college First XVIII coach and current Whitefriars teacher Kristan Height will breathe new spirit into the competitive side and give them a chance to make up for last season’s disappointment. With guidance from cice-captain Michael Nitas (42 goals in 2017) and Angus Hands, both selected in the Division 1 2017 Team of the Year, the Friars men are in prime position to make their mark this season. Yarra Old Grammarians The Bushrangers finished 2017 with nine wins, but missed out on finals after dropping six of their last seven games. They’ve been busy in the off-season recruiting the ‘North Ringwood 5’ to work alongside 2017 Best and Fairest David Wildsmith, Simon Yeo and forward Nick Chamberlain (43 goals in 2017) to create a balanced outfit. If Yarra can develop some back half support to assist key defender Jackson Maloney, they will be in contention come finals. Add a now-fit Ryan Pollard, elite skier Bailey Johnson and returning midfielder Benny Trend. With returning President Ron Garlepp amassing an impressive coaching team, the expectations at Doncaster Reserve are high.

DIVISION 3

Michael Davey

COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TO THE FIRST BOUNCE OF 2018 SEASON. On Saturday morning, all teams in Division 3 will start on an equal footing and full of optimism. After solid preseasons, each club has good reason to look forward to success in what appears to be a very even Division 3. While we’ll have a clearer idea at 5pm on Saturday, I’ll take this opportunity to gaze into a crystal ball to see the future. My crystal ball is oval shaped, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t bounce as expected. Albert Park Albert Park Falcons have bolstered their coaching ranks with senior coach Paul Shoppee joined by 2009 OJ Meehan Medallist Stuart Maunder as his assistant. The Falcons’ pre-season has been solid, with Jack Amies, Thushan Shrimpton and Jack Twite leading training since the Christmas break. The pick of the 2018 recruits are James Faulkner and Jack Lee, with both likely to make their senior debuts in the season opener. There’s high hopes for Sean Giles and Sunny Joshi, who have been lighting it up on the park, while Lucas Gniel, Cale Blizzard and ‘Razor Ray’ D’Lima have all been in great touch and are looking set for big seasons. Aquinas Freshly promoted after winning the 2017 Division 4 flag in both seniors and reserves, Aquinas enter Division 3 with good depth, and more importantly, confidence. The Bloods have added a lot of new players to their list under the tutelage of premiership coach Ash Naulty and look like they’ll handle the rise in grade. Look for the Bloods to be competitive in both seniors and reserves in 2018. Canterbury The Canterbury Cobras have recruited well, luring some exciting new senior players to the Snake Pit in the likes of Mitch Deane, Nick Joss, Jordan Tomas, Jake Rowe, Harry Berenger and Troy Gread, while with the return of Marty Astbury is a big plus. Canterbury’s player numbers are far higher than the previous two years, thanks largely to popular new reserves coach Sean Woodward, who has attracted about 10 players himself. With good depth, Canterbury is looking forward to a strong year ahead and will push for a finals spot after narrowly missing out by one game in 2017. Glen Eira After seven wins in 2017, including one over eventual Division 2 premiers Prahran-Assumption, the Glen Iris Gryphons were surprisingly and unluckily relegated. The appointment of new coach Jon Edgar, ex-VFL assistant (Williamstown) and William Buck Premier senior coach (St Kevin’s OB) will bring great experience and professionalism. The Gryphons have enjoyed a very good

pre-season and have recruited ex-Freo Docker Brent Connelly from Maffra. The inclusion of their first crop of U19s graduates have given the Gryphons an injection of plenty of pace and enthusiasm so look out for a few of them to debut in Round 1. Hawthorn AFC Hawthorn has appointed of new senior coach, Kade Pargeter, who will give stability, experience and leadership after stints as senior assistant and reserves coach. The Hawks have been busy in the off-season, and the opening round could see as many as half the senior team, including Cam Allum, Big Max and Brandon Briz, make their debuts. Nath Raiti will play on after passing the captaincy on to Trav Whittle. Both are looking forward to strong seasons, along with other core players in Dean Monohan, Aaron Downie and James Perks. Hawthorn is very much a family club, so don’t be surprised if the evergreen veteran Phil Avery lines up alongside his son sometime in 2018. La Trobe University There’s a huge buzz around La Trobe University FC as they look forward to going another year under senior coach Alan Ezard. Ezard’s coaching credentials are impeccable, including multiple premierships in assistant and head coaching roles in the VFL, Ballarat FL, EDFL, WRFL and EFL. Underpinning this is Ezard’s outstanding playing career. Before most of the Division 3 players were born, this speedy rover played in the back-to-back Essendon premierships (1984-1985), won a Bomber’s B&F (1991) and an EJ Whitten Medal (1991). He’s sure to have attracted some fine players after losing Bryce Dowler, Mitch Gleeson and Elliot Kelly over the off-season. Manningham Cobras After winning in promotion in 2017 for the first time as the Cobras, Manningham are looking forward to their foray into Division 3 with much anticipation. Coinciding with their promotion, the players will take the field in a new strip. The pre-season has been strong, with good numbers and a new senior assistant coach in Chris Stacey. Once again, senior coach Frank Salanitri has been active in bringing more new players to Koonung, while the club is happy to welcome back Chris Arman and Adam Pianto after a season’s absence. Unfortunately, they will be without reigning OJ Meehan Medallist, Adam Baltruweit, after he suffered a serious injury in a pre-season match. Richmond Central The big news in the off-season was the signing of George Koumantatakis as senior coach. After eight seasons coaching Swinburne, George has crossed the River to KB Reserve. George’s

senior assistant is former Glen Eira coach, Shane Kelly, so tactically their knowledge of opposition teams will see the Snakes well-placed in 2018. The return of key players Ricky Constanzo, Ben Herbert and Luke Carland head a list of impressive recruits that will give some forward potency and support to star goal kicker Jake Munro. After some good pre-season performances, the boys from Burnley are looking to climb into finals calculations. Swinburne University FC After a strong season last year, making the finals in 2017, the Razorbacks will be looking forward to an improved showing again in 2018. Swinburne has been active with signings in the off-season, and has secured a string of promising recruits from some of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest country leagues. One of the form teams of 2017, combined with these new additions see the Razorbacks looking forward to strong showing in 2018. The line-up will be relatively similar to those who finished fourth with 11 wins and a semi-final appearance. Westbourne Grammarians After finishing third in 2017, the Grammarians are hungry to go one, or two better this year. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been strong numbers at training, with the core group of senior players still sticking together and gelling well. Justin Johns has stepped up as senior coach and brings self-belief, a great understanding of the players, great knowledge of the modern game, and knows the opposition teams inside out. A handful of teenagers from local leagues have applied themselves on the training track and given the Warriors added depth and energy, and with natural improvement, they should get an opportunity to show their talent. Hard nut, Paul Hudson, is back from a serious knee injury, and should provide great experience and drive in the midfield. After an interrupted 2017, Tim Rogers has been impressing all at training. Look forward to seeing skipper Michael Culliver, and his partner in crime, vice captain Adam Imber continue their good form from 2017. With four players kicking over 30 goals last year, the Warriors will be sharing the goals around again.

DIVISION 4

Jake Morris

DIVISION 4 PREVIEW Round 1 VAFA Division 4 football is now just days away and with the competition expanding to 10 teams for season 2018, there is no better opportunity to preview each team and see where each side is placed heading into the weekend. North Brunswick AFC Finishing the home & away season just percentage out of the top spot, the Bulls went on to exit the finals series in straight sets with losses to Aquinas and the Manningham Cobras in what was a disappointing end to the season for Marcus Butera’s men. Club best and fairest winner, Will Croagh, will still control the North Brunswick midfield, while making the lives of the competitions’ second-highest-scoring forward line consisting of leading goal kicker Jake George and his forward partners Pat Notaro and Peter Butler easier. The second best defensive back six should also remain rock-solid with Max Coutts leading a defence that only allowed 54 points a game last year. The loss of OJ Meehan Medal runner-up Adam Densten will put a big hole in the Bulls’ midfield but with both Aquinas and the Cobras heading to Division 3 and Marcus Butera still at the helm, North Brunswick may be the team to beat for season 2018. Mt Lilydale OC After years of mid-table results, the Rams were able to back up a strong 2016 campaign with another finals appearance and a 7-8 record with a draw last year. New head coach, Mark Holly, will have the task of improving a forward line that only managed 72-points a game, while also building some talent around Timothy Legg in defence and working to dwindle down the 90-points a game conceded each match. Jesse Lehmann, Aaron Potter and Thomas Bailey will all return for this season and continue to push the Rams’ midfield in the right direction, with another finals appearance and maybe even more, on the horizon. Eley Park Sharks The Sharks finished the 2017 season with seven wins and just failed to make the top four, missing out by just two premiership points behind the Rams. The fourth highest scoring team in the competition last season will return with their bolstered forward line lead by captain Jesiah Mcgarvie, Leigh Booth and Christopher Brown. Head coach, Troy Sigalas, will need to continue to work with his midfield, building around veteran Matt Dyson and getting the best out of him. Despite their outstanding scoring ability, the Sharks’ defensive back six conceded the third most points per game last season at just over 99 a game, which included allowing 173 points to Aquinas in 22

Round 7. The season Jonathan Kiklis had cannot be understated, but he needs a lot more help down back if the Sharks want to move up the ladder in 2018. Elsternwick Like Eley Park, Elstenwick finished just two points outside the top four last year but are looking at a strong run this season and a return to Division 3. The oldest district club in the VAFA struggled both offensively and defensively last year, finishing fifth in scoring at 75 a game and fourth in points against at 89. But, with Division 4 giants Aquinas and Manningham out of the picture, it clears up room for Elsternwick to increase their scoring output and tighten their defensive structures against a far more even competition. Andrew Oldfield will return for another year after a very successful personal 2017 season, while Adrian Costa and Richie Main could be in for big years after promising pre-seasons. Julian Yeatman has taken up the role of captaincy and brought an influx of new players to the club hopeful of making finals this year. Parkside FC The Devils’ biggest issue from last season was their inability to score, ranking last in points at just under 60 a game. Thankfully, their defensive pressure and structure was something Ricky Frost’s men could hang their hat on, sitting sixth in the competition at 93 a game. But despite having an average losing margin of over five goals a contest, Parkside still finished with five wins for the year, including a fourgoal win over Elsternwick and a 37-point victory over Mount Lilydale. Defenders Anthony Waters and Isaac Romero both represented the Devils in the back six of the Div 4 Team of the Year, and there is no reason as to why that shouldn’t continue into this season. Getting points on the board will be the biggest area of improvement for Frost and his coaching staff. Masala FC Despite registering just two wins and a draw next to their name last year, the Tigers have had a fantastic off-season. Securing a new home ground in Dandenong at Fotheringham Reserve, a new head coach in Alan Sutherland who has 22 years of coaching experience at Emmaus St Leo’s, Old Eltham Collegians and Albert Park, and continued their close work with multicultural Australians with a large majority of players coming from an indigenous or multicultural background. Masala can learn from their 2017 season and focus on improving and developing their young and exciting prospects on a great home ground where goals from the centre will be a lot harder to kick.

St Francis Xavier OC Second-last in scoring (62 points a game) and last in opposition scoring (117 points a game) left St Francis Xavier at the wrong end of a lot of some high-scoring performances with just two wins for the season. The 2011 Division 4 premiers will be looking to shake the negativity of the wooden spoon and an average losing margin of over 50 points with a strong 2018 season, which began with an outstanding off-season. A new-look committee has already given a fresh feel to the proud VAFA club that is St Francis Xavier, but on-field play will be what delivers results, and the sheer amount of inclusions ahead of the 2018 season has those in Beaconsfield quietly confident of major improvement this year. Box Hill North One of the three new additions to the Division 4 competition for season 2018, the Box Hill North Football Club finished with a 13-1 record in the Club XVIII (2) competition last year, which included a premiership victory by 57-points over Chadstone. With an average winning margin of 53 in the Club XVIII (2) competition, Box Hill North cannot be taken lightly upon their return to Division 4. It all kicks off in a massive Round 1 blockbuster against Parkside at Elgar Park this weekend. South Mornington The Tigers finished third after the home and away fixture in Club XVIII (1) last season with eight wins, four losses and three draws, while also finishing runnersup on Grand Final Day to Old Xaverians. The Tigers will be a competitive side in the Division 4 comp this season, known for being a strong defensive team with the ability to restrict teams to low scores (average of 48 points conceded a game last year), they should be able to use that same ‘grit and grind’ style of play this season. South Melbourne Districts The third and final team to be injected into Division 4 this season is South Melbourne Districts, who come from Division 3 after a winless season last year. Going up against the likes of Powerhouse and UHS-VU was always going to make it tough for South Melbourne, but to go winless for the entire season was something they definitely weren’t expecting. Averaging a league-low of just 46-points a game while conceding a league-high 131-points, the Swans struggled with injury and a lack of player availability. Steve Clarke was the lone bright spot for South Melbourne last season as he was able to crack into the Division 3 Team of the Year and represent the Bloods. A disappointing year is now behind them, and a fresh start awaits this proud club as they begin their stride back towards the top.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER PREVIEW 2018 is shaping up to be a ground-breaking, second season of the William Buck Premier competition. Women’s football is booming, the standard is improving drastically and the number of girls making the transition from previous sports to our nation’s great game is enormous. This year will be bigger and better than ever, with an exciting array of new talent set to be showcased across all eight teams.

Buchan (Best & Fairest), Irena Malliaras (Big V BOG), Alice Edmonds and Millie Klingbeil. After finishing fifth in their inaugural season and narrowly missing a finals berth, captain Amy Dumas has strong belief in the group, with many new faces set to be unveiled. Young gun Georgia Cooper, 17, is already showing incredible signs of football maturity and smarts and is one to be watched.

New addition, Kew Bears, are expected to raise the already remarkable standard of the competition to new and sensational heights. The Bears claimed the VWFL Division 1 flag in 2016 and furthermore, their reserves recently defeated the Scotch Stars in a two-goal Lightning Premiership victory at Keysborough Playing Fields. Now coming under the same umbrella as the Kew men’s teams in the VAFA, the collective outfit of women representing this proud club will be hungry to succeed in the competition they now call home. Expect Roisin “Rosh” Lambert, a home-grown Bear and 50-game milestone player since the club’s inauguration 2014, to unleash herself as a force to be reckoned with.

Old Trinity were outstanding last year and finished fourth on the back of nine wins from their 14 games. Despite the loss of Big V skipper, Claire Messent, recruit and former Australian professional tennis player, Sally Peers, is an exciting addition for the club given her sporting prowess and ready-made elite football skills showcased in a practice match against Caulfield. Having trained together collectively as an outfit since October, expect Old Trinity to be fit and firing, with solid cohesion and ball movement set to be on display come Round 1.

Seven of the eight teams will return to William Buck Premier for season 2018: Marcellin, SKOB Saints, Caulfield Grammarians, Old Trinity, Old Xaverians, Melbourne University and Fitzroy-ACU. After claiming just three wins in 2017, Melbourne University will enter a much stronger line-up this year and are set to reverse their fortunes into premiership contention. With their number one side competing in the VFLW, the Mugar’s second team, which last year played in the Northern Football Netball League, will now be plying their trade in William Buck Premier. They have a rich history in football on the back of their high standards and incredible playing numbers, so expect the Mugars to go deep in 2018. Marcellin, coming off the back of a scintillating premiership victory against SKOB Saints in 2017, is set to improve again with a substantial influx of new players. Inaugural Anytime Fitness Rising Star nominee and gun goalkicker, Chiara Moretta, says the girls are hungry to go back-to-back and with new talent set to shine, the Sheagles are predicted to be difficult to beat again this year. Keep your eyes peeled for rising star nominee and Big V Squad member from 2017, Nat MacDonald. SKOB Saints will look to rebound after narrowly missing out on premiership success when they went down to Marcellin by seven points in the decider. SKOB were the powerhouse of the home and away fixture, losing just one game en route to the minor premiership. Boasting the competition’s two top goal kickers, Sarah Cameron and Georgie Lupson, expect the Saints to enter 2018 at the top of their game as they seek redemption. Caulfield Grammarians look to rebuild this season after the loss of some big names to the VFLW, including Grace

Old Xaverians are coming off a seventh-place finish and will have their sights set on significant improvement this season. Maddie Sorrenti, the first ever to register as an Old Xav women’s players and a Rising Star nominee, has an optimistic outlook for the year ahead with the girls having had an intense pre-season training regime. With Rohenna Young still at the helm, expect significant improvement from the claret & stout women in 2018. Fitzroy-ACU were formidable last season, attaining an impeccable second-place finish on the ladder after losing only two games in the home and away fixture. After a disappointing straight sets exit in last year’s finals series, they will look to go one better this season. The departure of star ruck and reigning women’s best & fairest winner, Tash Ross-Harris, will be a major blow to their side’s set-up; however, a rigorous pre-season program and the leadership of Gemma Minuz will hold the Roy Girls in good stead moving forward. The 2018 William Buck Premier women’s competition will produce an exciting crop of new talent, stars of the future will be uncovered, and the premiership is anyone’s guess. An electrifying season awaits. Predictions: Premiers: Melbourne University WFC Top 4: SKOB Saints, Marcellin, Melbourne University, Fitzroy-ACU Best & Fairest: Nat MacDonald (Marcellin) Leading Goal Kicker: Sarah Cameron (SKOB Saints)

HOLMESGLEN UNDER 19

Marty Kelliher

ROUND 1 PREVIEW At the risk of being looked upon as stating the bleeding obvious the building blocks of a club are generally going to come through developing a successful under 19 program. Sometimes there are rewards such as promotion, a premiership or even that you may have unearthed a gem, but the underlying message here is that for the long term health of a club kids coming up from under 19’s is the key. And for those who are wanting to see some cracking footy there are some terrific games each week in the under 19’s no matter the grade, so to quote someone far less eloquent than your scribe; do yourself a favour. PREMIER GRADE: After being reminded of my errant grand final tip by quite a few old Xaverian supporters and parents over the summer break I will now seek to redress that wrong. They are the favourites in this section and this is based on their continued ability as a club to regenerate and use their alma mater as the first stopping point for recruiting players. For the rest of the season I’m tipping a slight change here, and it is that SKOB who openly stated their disappointment with last years 4th place finish and they are a club with a message to the rest of the VAFA community which is simply they don’t settle for 2nd best. Beaumaris, supported by a fantastic junior program will be strong and I expect to them playing deep into September. The questions I have are as follows: can De La take that next step? Can old Scoth make use of their alma mater in the same way as Old Xavs and SKOB, and finally surely the behemoth that is st. Bernard’s cannot be as disappointing as last year. On a side note credit to that club for having the bravery to meet the challenge of premier footy head on. And lastly given that we are now faced with a 7 team comp this year I expect Caulfield grammarians in their 2nd season to again look to improve. On a personal level it’s a bit disappointing, but also surprising that the 2 grand finalists from section 2 last year chose not come up as is their reward and that will now deprive us of seeing how these clubs adapt to the rigours of premier grade. All up premier grade looks to have some very good footy in store for the year ahead. To this week: a cracking start to the year with De La hosting Old Xavs at Waverley in what shapes as a fantastic barometer for the home team to measured themselves against in a game where there is no 52

backward steps tolerated. Old Scotch also get an early look at the task ahead when they host SKOB who have a poultice of players and a paucity of tolerance for losing, and finally Beaumaris get the road trip to the north west out of the way early as they journey to the snake pit to take on st. Bernard’s. Caulfield has the bye and the option of early forward scouting. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Premier De La Salle v Old Xaverians Old Scotch v SKOB St. Bernard’s v Beaumaris Caulﬁeld Grammarians v bye

UNDER 19 SECTION 2: Given the reticence of last years grand finalists to promote to premier grade there is a slightly similar feel to this section barring the addition of Old Ivanhoe up from section 3 and Parkdale who after a year in premier grade return seeking their way back up. Fitzroy, the hipsters best friend suffused with inner-city chutzpah and supported by a burgeoning junior club have a strong pool of numbers to draw upon, so they could be a surprise packet, but it’s the continued rise of Old Carey through the canny use of players coaching at the school, teachers at the college and a burgeoning relationship between the club and college who offer me some hope of getting tips right, and they could be the team to watch. Williamstown CYMS who are also supported by a strong junior club which could and should be seeking late September action too. Collegians after last years premiership have decided that premier may be a bridge too far, which does not fill me with hope for them as a premiership double, and if it occurs it would make a mockery of their reticence. A couple of tasty match ups across the year too as Parkdale and St. Bedes Mentone tigers have an opportunity to decide bragging rights in a local derby, as do the university teams when Blues take on Blacks in the battle beneath the spires. Old Melburnians, my tip for last years flag look to go a couple better and they have a strong pool to draw upon too. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 2 Fitzroy v Uni Blues Old Melburnians v Old Carey Parkdale v Williamstown CYMS SBMT v Old Ivanhoe MHSOB v La Trobe Uni Blacks v Collegians

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

SECTION 3: Mazenod victorious in section 4 have taken up the challenge of section 3 and it has also had the flow-on effect of increasing numbers across the club as they field 2 teams, and they been joined by section 4 runnerup Monash Blues. I would like to think that Marcellin, unlucky last year can go 1 or 2 better, Hampton Rovers with a large junior club to lean upon have numbers, and a long history of using the juniors as a springboard for bringing through senior players could have influence come seasons end too. Old Brighton with a strong program at the school would need to take advantage of that after a slow start to last years campaign if they want to climb the grades. A worry for me is old Trinity as they have dropped through the grades recently and they need to redress that situation. Ormond who finished 4th last year will hope to progress too and Old Mentonians with a school to draw upon have a history of getting good results in under 19 footy, so this could be a tipsters nightmare in season 2018. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 3 Hampton Rovers v Marcellin Mazenod v Monash Blues Old Brighton v Old Trinity Ormond v Old Mentonians

SECTION 4: An injection of new teams here with Brunswick and South Melbourne districts joining the VAFA and congratulations to them on this bold and exciting initiative as they seek to keep their clubs viable into the medium and long term. Like all these things tipping week 1 is a raffle, but with 4 district and community based clubs this is great news given the inexorable rise of the gluttonous old boys clubs hoovering up kids with abandon, and as such this will be a fascinating section to follow. OGGS are the great unknown and the past 3 years has seen them have more twists and turns than a political party’s policy speech. Old McKinnon is a great story and they will look to build upon a successful start last year and progress through the grades. PEGS after finishing runners-up last year look to rebuild and rebound, Parkside and Preston both adapted well to section 4 last year and they too would be looking to build upon that. Whitefriars have a school to draw upon and a formidable home ground, and they should have played finals last year, maybe this year? South Melbourne and Brunswick are the 2 unknowns, but have Auskick and junior programs to draw upon, so it will be interesting to see if that translates to numbers across the year, but both clubs are fully aware of the THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

need of this to work if they want to secure senior clubs long term. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 4 OGGS v Ivanhoe Old McKinnon v PEGS Parkside v Whitefriars Preston Bullants v South Melb Districts Brunswick v bye

SECTION 5: This section is the most interesting given that is has a mix of 2nd teams, a couple of 3rd teams and a few single teams. All in all, this has the makings of a tipsters nightmare. De La Salle and SKOB have a 3rd team, the fundamental difference being the De La team is essentially a year 11 and 12 team for SKOB it’s a 3rd under 19 team so should in many ways be the stronger of the 2 and as such should be a stronger contender. Aquinas was quite good last year and overall the club had a strong season, so they would want to continue that upwards trajectory. Mazenod after last years success in section 4 have used this to recruit heavily and this is a 2nd team, which could be like De La, that it’s a younger group looking to be introduced to the broader club. Oakleigh were a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde last year, so what in store for us this season? Peninsula had a tough time last year if you only look at results, but were very competitive at home, so I’d like to think they’ve ironed out those problems and will improve. Therry after a disappointing campaign in section 4 last year will look to rebound and they have a fearsome home ground advantage and as such need to use that. The same could be applied to Old Paradians who are in the middle of the biggest growth corridor of Melbourne so they have a huge population to draw upon, along with the school as a base to draw upon, so I’m struggling why this hasn’t translated into on-field success. Williamstown CYMS and St. Bedes Mentone tigers are both 2nd teams; they will be like De La and Mazenod, pretty young and as such unpredictable, but wanting to win. What this means is your scribe has no hope of getting it right in what is probably the most even section. Holmesglen UNDER 19 Section 5 De La Salle (3) v Old Paradians Mazenod (2) v SKOB Oakleigh v Aquinas Peninsula OB v Williamstown CYMS (2) Therry Penola v SBMT (2)

5 YEARS AGO – 2013 The season launch was a successful occasion and was celebrated at the MCC Members Dining Room. The VAFA’s former, first full time General Manager, Peter French, was honoured to propose the toast and this was responded to by first year, VAFA President, Michael Hazel. Michael had enjoyed a decorated VAFA Career, similar to his predecessor, Bruno Conti, and with his various off field roles in business, he was well placed to lead the VAFA. Michael highlighted the need for all clubs to work together to improve the commercial capabilities of the association. In Premier Section, Beaumaris, in their debut in the top section, opened their season in stunning fashion, defeating St Bedes Mentone 24.20 to 6.7 with St Bedes failing to kick a goal after half time. Best - Buckley, Ward, Boyd (8), Leigh, Dean, Edmonds (Beaumaris) and Mangoni, M Wintle, T Tyquin, Garside, Kean, Jeans (St Bedes). Premier B Section scribe, Di Langton, reported on the heavy defeats for some sides and in particular, Old Brighton’s demolition of Parkdale Vultures, 24.9 to 9.8. The Vultures had unfurled their 2012 flag but they were very disappointed with the result of this match. Best - Bruin, North, Mentiplay (3), Anthony (8), Dewar, Perrett (Old Brighton) and Robbins (3), Miller, Meyer, Jones, P Sullivan, Price. Old Brighton’s courageous captain, Jon Perrett played his 150th game to help make the win a special one. Collegians fielded two sets of brothers in a senior game, the first in recent memory, when Harry and Alex Croft and Huw and Lindsay Apted all lined up in their win. There was a consensus among the Lion’s faithful that the last time such an event occurred was when the Hibbins and Daff brothers played together in the 1950’s. It was agreed that Lex and Geoff Hibbins played in the same team as Russell and Graham Daff.

10 Years Ago - 2008 VAFA President, Nick Bourke, announced that his Board had held pre-season discussions with approximately 20 clubs to discuss a variety of issues including finances, structure and general well-being. Nick stated that the Board, under its chairman, Bruno Conti, would continue to act in a manner that allows clubs to interact with staff at Elsternwick Park for mutual benefit. He also welcomed George Voyage to the Board to look after football operations as Chairman of the committee. Nick also highlighted the awarding of life membership of the Association to former CEO Phil Stevens, a highly popular acknowledgment for Phil who had always gone above and beyond the expectation for the benefit of the VAFA. Round 1 got underway with all A Section games being competitive, the closest being Old Scotch’s win 54

over Old Brighton at the Beach Oval in a game that see-sawed befored Scotch won 15.9 to 12.19. Scotch held their nerve in the last quarter as Brighton missed chances in front of goal. Best - Hilderbrandt, Houlihan (4), Thompson, Kennedy, Eva, Aurel-Smith (Scotch) and Perrett (3), Ainley, Gadsden, Pirrie, Mentiplay (3), Jakobi (Brighton). Umpires’ Corner congratulated evergreen umpire, Alan Stubbs, on his 350th VAFA game. Alan stated his first involvement had been as a player with Old Mentonians in 1979 where he played approximately 80 games including one premiership. He had joined the VAFAUA under the club incentive program and had remained on the umpiring panel for 20 years. In B Section Old Carey drew away from Caulfield Grammarians in the final term to win 12.14 to 9.17 in what had been a close contest for most of the day. Best - Josephs, Willingham, Howgate, Evans, Wagner, Smith (Carey) and Foote, Widjaja, Slevison (4), Hyland, M Sundberg, T Sundberg (Caulfield). James Twining and Rebecca Brown had been the field umpires.

20 Years Ago - 1998 The season opened in perfect conditions and St Kevins and Old Haileybury staged a great opening game in A Section. After breaking the game open in the third quarter with 9 goals to 1, Haileybury seemed to be ‘over the line’ but they did not account for SKOBS’ fighting qualities and only the bell saved Haileybury by the narrowest of margins, 16.8 to 15.13. Best players – Hucker, D Seccull, S Phillips, D Warden, A Floyd (4), A Ross (Old Haileybury) and Lowerson, Ryan (4), Dollman, Gross, Ciavola, Mahoney St Kevins). Andrew (“Noel”) Pryor played his 200th game for Old Brighton. Andrew is a Life Member at Old Brighton and one of the very finest for The Tonners. First playing in the U19’s at 14 years of age, representation of the VAFA, Captain of his Club and 3 Best & Fairest awards gave a clear indication of his worth. Andrew was also an outstanding clubman. In B Section, outstandingly accurate kicking for goal by Therry Penola (20.2) was not enough to get the points against Old Paradians (21.12). It had been an even contest throughout the match and best players were – Brabender, Pannam, Brollo, Mulligan Stephens, Godfrey (OP) and Elliott, Kurette, Crotty, Thrush (3), Sauci, Fitzpatrick (Therry). Greg Wilson achieved 200 games for MHSOB and life membership as a result. Greg had undertaken a number of different roles for his club over the journey and his playing career had spanned 3 decades.

30 Years Ago - 1988 David Levens replaced Neville Nash as Umpire’s Advisor, Neville having taken up an umpiring department position with the VFL in Brisbane. David was an experienced VFL umpire and had also served as President of the Warracknabeal Football Club in THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

the Wimmera League. It was a thriller in A Section between Collegians and North Old Boys with an outstanding first quarter by Collegians with 10 goals straight to NOBS’ 3.4. NOBS gradually made up ground and had snuck their noses in front by three quarter time 14.8 to 14.3. A great last quarter ensued before Collegians rallied sufficiently to win 17.8 to 16.9 in a highly entertaining start to the season. Best players – Williams, K Parsons, Schober, Hibbins, Roberts (6), Conron (Collegians) and Boyd, C Hibbert (3), Alevras, Curulli, Millett, Egan (NOBS). Fawkner and Old Trinity in B Section also provided an entertaining and high standard game in the B Section opener. Fawkner had the better of the game and opened up a 5 goal lead by half time. Old Trinity narrowed the gap to 2 goals by the final break before Fawkner rallied to win 17.16 to 13.14. Best players – Mitchell, M Tymms, Majerczark (4), A Buckley, Ross, Horvath (Fawkner) and Turner, Maizels (4), Robison, Farrell, Allison, Borghesi (Trinity). A Section field umpires were – Andrew McCrae, Cameron Swale, Paul Cherry, Kevin Segota, Ken Coughlan, Greg Hardiman, Mark Bushfield, Steve Clinch, Justin Toohey and Steve McCarthy.

40 Years Ago - 1978 The start of the season saw two field umpires in A Section for the first time. It was to be a season of trial for the two umpire system. After the introduction of the ‘interchange’ system in the previous season had proved so successful, it was decided in this season to add a further refinement; it was no longer necessary for interchanges to be affected during the time on periods or for the umpires to be notified directly. The home club was to provide a suitably attired ‘steward’ to whom the Club runners would pass on detail of any interchange. A controversial note of change had been struck by the Reinstatement Committee. Operating within the bounds of a recently restructured definition of ‘amateurism’, the Committee was to allow the return of two ‘name’ players from other leagues. The Clubs concerned and their opponents were expected to benefit from the experience that such players would provide! Part of the reasoning: ‘One player cannot win a match on his own – football is a team game and the most successful sides approach it in this light! Reigning premiers in A Section, De La Salle, comfortably won their first encounter against University Blacks 15.10 to 10.15. Best players – Beddoe (4), Groves, Dienne, Connolly, Nugent, Maher (DLS) and Birch, Fisher, Holland, Allanson, Gill, Curtis (Blacks).

50 Years Ago - 1968

and amenities over a period of years. The admission of Old Mentonians to E Section brought the number of competing teams to 123. Reigning premiers in A Section, Uni Blacks, got away to a good start against Coburg to run out winners 14.6 to 9.13. Best players – Mitchell, Shackleton, Hunt, McGregor, Solly (3), Costello (Uni Blacks) and Galleson, Ebbage, Jebb, Condron, Merrick, Pearson (Coburg). In B Section, the grand finalists from C Section in 1967, Alphington and Monash Uni, met with the premiership result being reversed as Monash proved too strong 15.14 to 11.8. Best players – Rattray (3), Hone, Shannon, Rogers, Hirons (4), Austin (Monash) and Scott, Williams, Skerry (4), McNamara, Humphries, Shearer (Alphington).

60 Years Ago - 1958 George McTaggart, Editor of The Amateur Footballer, anticipated further success for the VAFA in its second season of a ‘permanent home’ at No 2 Oval, Olympic Park. George also predicted a busy season for football administrators generally with the Australian National Football Council (ANFC) staging a carnival in Melbourne later in the year to celebrate the centenary of ‘Australian Football’. The late withdrawal of two clubs, Teachers’ College and I.S.C.A. (Insurance Social Clubs of Australia), caused disruption to sections C and below but ‘the games began’. In A Section, the reigning premiers, Collegians, immediately went to the top of the ladder with a strong win over University Blues, 18.14 to 7.4. The play on style of Collegians was too successful for the Blues. Best players – Mansfield, Bennett (9), Sunderland, G Daff, McDonald, R Daff (Collegians) and Shaw, Howdern, Langley, Hayden, Woodhouse (5), McMillan (Uni Blues). In B Section, University Blacks swamped Commonwealth Bank with clever handball and play on tactics in what became a one-sided game. The Blacks dominated the ruck contests, their rovers celebrated accordingly and the score line was an incredible 30.31 to only 2.3 by the ‘bankers’. Best players – Browne (9), Murray (9), J Winneke, Touhy, Walker, Rowe (Uni Blacks) and Doyle, Peck, Board, McKean, Edering and Rex Mulligan (Comm Bank) all gave of their best. In C Section, National Bank finished full of running against De La Salle and had trailed by 5 points at the final charge before winning 15.9 to 10.5. It was a very encouraging display by the bank in the last term. Best players – Studham, Selleck, Dunn, Corby, Barton (5), Drummond (Nat Bank) and P Kelly, Shiel, Teague, O’Callaghan, G Gill, Brown (De La Salle).

The season started with the announcement that the VAFA had secured a long term lease of Elsternwick Park with plans for greatly improved ground facilities THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2018

WHAT DOES FOOTY MEAN

CONGRATULATIONS

What does footy mean to us? Ha.. How long have you got?

Congratulations to the VAFA Umpires selected on AFL Victoria Lists for Season 2018. Field – Peter Bailes (New – Senior List), Cameron Dore, Andrew Heffernan, Matthew Pryor, Jacob Rockwell, Josh Ball (New – Development). Boundary – David Park, Adrian Pretorious, Sam Beer, Jack Punshon (New – Development), Raushan Seychell (New – Development). Goal – Chris Doyle, Patrick Dwyer, Antonio Valente, Tope Adepoyibi (New – Development), Michael Driver (New- Development), Jake Marnie (New – Development), Jack Stammer (New – Development).

Footy means that moment, when the ball lands in your hands. The adrenaline pumping through your veins, the fans shouting from the stands. It’s watching someone run back with the flight not knowing what is coming. It’s getting hit, getting hurt, getting knocked to the ground and getting up and keep on running. It’s the body on the line, it’s that tackle oh so vicious, it’s a speckie that makes your spine tingle or a goal that’s just delicious. Footy is that feeling of rising up from all the rest, of achieving all your goals and at seasons end conquering your quest. Footy means the successes, but it also means the pain. It’s being gracious in the losses and having the guts to go again. Footy means the hard yards, the hard slog, and the heartache. It’s creating history then re-writing it, the future is ours to make. Footy means standing together, standing up and standing tall. It’s standing for your team mates, all for one and one for all.

SOCIAL MEDIA Please check out on Facebook (VAFA Umpires & VAFAUA), Twitter (VAFA Umpires & VAFAUA) and Instagram (VAFA Umpires & VAFAUA) for all information for the Season Ahead. #ANewEra #ForTheLoveOfTheGame

Footy means the rivalry, the ferocity, the fight. It’s harnessing our passion and watching it ignite. Footy is standing strong as one, because on the inside we’re all the same. Boy, girl, man or woman, who cares? We all just love the game. Footy means another shot, another chance to clean the slate, so this weekend when the VAFA footy starts, you know we just can’t wait. When you’re in the stands, or when you’re on the field, when you’re giving all you’ve got. Look around and soak up the passion, you’ll see… yeah… Footy means a lot.

RISING STAR WINNERS LACHLAN SULLIVAN (ST KEVIN’S OB) Sullivan is a starting midfielder for the top-ranked team in the VAFA and was the first player nominated in 2017 following his three-goal performance in SKOB’s 42-point win over University Blues. He has been named in SKOB’s best 11 times from his 17 games and kicked 20 goals for the year; including, multiples on five occasions. What the club said: “Lachlan plays a lot like Jack Ziebell with his attack on the ball and has many strengths; including, being a tough inside mid providing options up forward, skilful with the football and he is renowned for loving his leftovers at St Kevin’s.”

SARAH CAMERON (SKOB SAINTS) Cameron has been a sharpshooter in front of goal for the grand final-bound SKOB Saints, kicking 27 goals and appearing in the best five times from her 11 games. She bagged five against the Sheagles in Round 4 and has kicked two or more goals another eight times. Starred for the Big V with three against the Goldfields. What the club said: “Sarah played football at school in the GSV competition. Her first outside-of-school experience was last year at Glen Iris Gladiators Junior Football Club where she kicked over 70 goals for the season. Sarah was also named best and fairest for the youth girls competition in Yarra Junior Football League.”

GET TO A Healthier Place.
