If you get injured, what’s your game plan?

Injuries in footy are inevitable, but sitting around a waiting room or waiting weeks to see a specialist doesn’t have to be.

Take advantage of the same elite services used by professional footballers, and get back out on the park with your mates sooner.

Injured VAFA players now receive fast track priority treatment at Epworth Richmond, Victoria’s largest private hospital emergency department.

Erin Street, Richmond Open 24/7.

Epworth. Better.

In 2011, a fantastic secondment opportunity in America came up and while I was quietly petrified, I knew it would change my life. In just 5 months, I met an incredible range of people, and was really challenged professionally. I grew up more in that short time than in the 5 years prior – there’s no other situation where I could learn as much as I did so quickly.

ONE CAN’T HELP BUT GET EXCITED For those who are truly immersed in the VAFA, you get enjoyment out of the whole competition and not just your club or section. Over the next four weeks there are great opportunities to involve yourself in everything the VAFA has to offer both on and off the field.

When club leaders encourage participation from their members across the whole VAFA community, it is incredible how this correlates with a clubs’ success.

Maybe it is the leaders’ vision that encourages this involvement that broadens a clubs’ perspective. A former VAFA president told me when a club throws itself into representative football it will be reflected in September success. Those who are insular and withdrawn often don’t have that same success or fulfilment.

On the field, our finals commence with the Division Seniors and Reserves, Premier B & C Thirds and our six Under 19 sections. About 40 of our clubs will be represented in finals on the weekend. On Saturday night we will have found three clubs who will have won promotion to a higher section. The third of the four goals a club may set will have been completed.

First avoid relegation, second make the finals, third promotion and the fourth to win the Grand Final.

With finals football being played each Saturday and Sunday, I would suggest you consider buying a VAFA finals series pass for $50. This entitles you to each Division, Premier and Under 19 final including the Premier B/C Grand Finals at Sportscover Arena and Sandringham on Saturday 17 September and the Premier Grand Final at IKON Park, Carlton the following day.

Off the field, there are a number of ways you can participate in the finals spirit of the VAFA. Our signature event is the VAFA William Buck Grand Final Lunch. This is the third edition of the lunch and it is being held at the Sofitel on Friday 16 September preceding the Premier Grand Finals.

This year the Master of Ceremonies is Barrie Cassidy from the ABC Insiders program, will introduce Mike

Fitzpatrick. Whilst Mike is the current Chairman of the AFL Commission and an international businessman, he was a premiership captain at Carlton and a Rhodes Scholar. He has and continues to lead a busy, challenging and rewarding life. His insights into the AFL and business will interest all.

Supporting Mike will be international comedian,Vince Sorrenti. Vince has appeared on virtually every variety show on Australian TV over the last three decades. In recent years he has appeared on Australian Celebrity Apprentice, Skating on Thin Ice, Wide Open Road, 20 to 1, Studio 10, and many others.

The lunch is the ideal opportunity for clubs to thank their sponsors and showcase them to the wider community of the VAFA. We will present the Premiership Cups to our Division clubs and preview the three huge Grand Finals that weekend. This is not a normal business lunch where corporates eat, wait for the speeches to finish before they leave. This is a lunch where everyone in the room is connected.

Everyone knows each other and wants to talk about amateur football. This is what makes this lunch an event.

This is a real community lunch. I have also been told that one of our clubs women’s teams have booked a table to get themselves immersed in the amateur spirit.

Along with this event we have our Woodrow Medal at the River Room at Crown. This is a fabulous night where our players are able to celebrate their hard work of the year. Along with the counting of votes we also present the best and fairest medals to all the senior and junior winners.

One can’t help but get excited about the next month. I would encourage you all to get involved in the various activities and continue to support the VAFA even if your club’s on field involvement concludes.

COVER: Tom Quinn of University Blues continues his good form.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

@NickArmistead

FINALS AND RELEGATION SET IN STONE After 17 rounds of William Buck Premier, three separate ladder leaders, many hot streaks and even more form slumps, the finals and relegation has been decided.

Congratulations to Old Trinity, Old Xaverians, University Blues and University Blacks on combating one of the most even seasons to date and booking their spot at the business end.

Unfortunately, the weekend’s results confirmed St Bernard’s will join Old Carey in Premier B next year as they now fall two games behind Collegians and St Kevin’s one round from the home and away season’s end. The reigning premiers are the first side since Old Haileybury in 2006-07 to taste glory in the VAFA’s top tier and suffer relegation just 12 months later.

Collegians staved off relegation with four dominant quarters against Old Carey helping them run out 107-point winners at Carey Sports Complex. They could not have been more impressive or emphatic in the way they went about their football. Matt Singleton kicked three in the first term as the hard-bodied Lions’ midfielders won plenty of the ball through the middle of the ground, giving their forwards consistent delivery for a 38-point lead at quarter time. While the young Panthers toiled away, they were no match for the new-look offensive Lions as they registered 16 scoring shots to 43. It was the first time they’d registered a score over 96 this year and was one goal less than their previous three games combined (23-24). Will Johnson has been a revelation over the past few weeks up forward as he kicked seven majors and made it 13 from his past three games. This is a man who was named in the defensive 50 against the SAAFL and in a back pocket for the William Buck Premier mid-season team of the year; utility is a gross understatement. The Panthers were willing enough at the contest with James Gaff, Ben Smithwick and Jack Harris showing plenty 2

of fight, but it was disposal errors on the outside which ultimately let them down. Averaging 118 points against will set any team on the path to relegation, but expect the Panthers to bounce back with a successful season in Premier B. Old Xaverians made it eight consecutive wins as they defeated University Blues by 43 points at Ransford Oval and placed themselves in second position on the ladder. Arguably the most interesting match-up of Round 17, the venue was changed in the week leading up to the round after an independent assessor found Uni Oval’s surface to be in an unplayable condition and a risk to player safety. As such, Ransford Oval got the nod and the Blues suffered just their second ‘home’ loss of the season as Xavs gradually increased their lead at every break. Matt Handley starred up forward with five goals, while Nick Serafini continued his rich vein of form for Xavs.

Handley (51) is now six goals ahead of teammate, Brendan Goss (45), on the goal kicking leader board and the pair are just four from reaching the combined ton. George Cameron and Cameron Williams stood tall for the Blues as they fell from first to third and now require a win against Blacks in this weekend’s Round 18 derby to ensure the double chance.

I declared the T’s back three weeks ago now but their return to the top of the table is concrete evidence they’re a genuine premiership chance.

They accounted for St Kevin’s by 28 points at Daley Oval for their sixth successive victory, with Seb Nicolosi bagging four goals and making it eight since his return to the line-up two weeks ago. Jack Hunt featured in the best for the 10th TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD University Blacks v University Blues St Kevin’s v St Bernard’s Old Xaverians v Old Trinity De La Salle v Old Carey Collegians v Old Melburnians

time this season and looms as a key cog of the T’s success over the next month. James Strauss and Billy Kanakis were outstanding for SKOB, while Tim Bourke snagged two majors and showed why he belongs at the top level.

De La Salle’s hopes of regaining a spot in the top four were shattered at Sportscover Arena as Old Melburnians held on for a four-point win.

Despite nailing six goals in the fourth term, De La allowed five to OMs as Tom Paule, Theo Rosenthal and Justin De Steiger (three goals) ran riot. De La were up against it if they were to feature in September but the ongoing absenteeism of Leigh Harrison and Adrian Indovino hurt their structures forward of centre, despite standout

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

As mentioned earlier, the Snow Dogs are now consigned to Premier B in 2017 after they went down to Uni Blacks by 10 points at the Snakepit.

Trailing by 32 points at the last break, the Snow Dogs broke loose in the final term and piled on seven goals to three as they fought to salvage their season. Unsurprisingly, Adam Bentick, Tom Caven, Tom Sullivan and Nathan Kazuro were at the forefront of the Snow Dog’s fight back, while Brent Sheahan continued his blistering form as the clear best on ground.

performances from Sam Williams and Xavier Murphy. It’s a disappointing end for the blue and gold as they are, without doubt, one of the most entertaining team to watch when they’re on.

PREMIER B

“…AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE.” With one round remaining the Premier B competition is still wide open, with five teams still in the race to play finals. In the upper echelons, St Bede’s/Mentone took advantage of a couple of losses to Beaumaris and have taken top spot. Old Scotch and Monash round out the top four, both half a game ahead of Fitzroy in fifth. Monash, being the only one of the three clubs to play a top four team in Round 18, are in the biggest danger of missing out. Old Brighton won six of their last seven games but still ended up a couple of games outside finals action, while Ajax and Parkdale live to fight another day in Premier B. Hampton and Old Haileybury will be contesting Premier C in 2017.

It was a big day at Brunswick Street Oval, where Fitzroy and Old Scotch contested a crucial clash.

As well as being the Roys last home game for the season, they were celebrating 50 years since the iconic venue hosted an AFL/VFL match. The Roys started with the wind but could only manage 3.5, giving them a 10-point lead at quarter time. Old Scotch didn’t fare much better in the second, kicking 3.6 to the home side’s 1.1. The third term was also a low-scoring affair. Jack Bull goaled for the Cardinals inside the first two minutes and was answered by Lachlan Henderson soon after. Both sides went scoreless for the next ten minutes, before Sam Anderson took a contested mark in the goal square and kicked truly. Fitzroy found themselves trailing by 14 points going into the wind in the last but they had everything to play for; finals were at stake. As it turned out, it would be Old Scotch’s afternoon.

The Cardinals were determined to put some wins together, having lost five of their past six games.

Max Van den Broek started things off for the visitors, joined by Tom Havers (two) and Jono Daggian (two). A Henderson behind finally got the Roys on the scoreboard before Havers kicked the Cardinals sixth for the quarter, giving them a big win.

Old Brighton had won five in a row and were on the march before running into fellow contenders Monash last week, going down by eight points.

In Round 17 they came up against ladder leaders Beaumaris, who were also looking to rejoin the winners list after losing to Fitzroy. Old Brighton dominated the opening term, keeping the Sharks goalless and kicking five of their own. Andrew Dewar started things off for the Tonners and it was a little while before Michael Karayannis joined 4

him and Tom Fisher goaled soon after. Tom King and Harry Hill finished off a great quarter for Old Brighton. The Sharks went goalless again in the second term, with their half time scoreline reading 0.1 (1) and a ten goal lead to Old Brighton. The third term was more even with both sides kicking a couple each and the Sharks finally switched on in the last, outscoring the Tonners five goals to three.

However, the final siren signalled a 50-point win to Old Brighton, meaning two straight losses for Beaumaris and they also lost top spot.

Ajax and Old Haileybury battled out an ‘eight-point game’ at Princess Park in Caulfield. With the Jackas hovering a couple of games above relegation territory, a Bloods victory would have brought them within one game with one game remaining, whereas a Jackas win would shoot them three games clear and assure a spot in Premier B in 2017.

Led by David Fayman and Brad Caplan, the Jackas had the better of the first half, kicking four goals in each quarter and setting up a 20-point half time lead. Defence went out the window in the third, as both teams combined for 12.3 and Old Haileybury worked their way back into the contest.

Adam Weekes kicked the first inside thirty seconds, and was answered by Fayman. Peter Shakallis and Nathan Waite struck back for the Bloods before the Jackas kicked two more, including one from Caplan.

From here, the Bloods hit a purple patch to match their guernseys, kicking four goals in five minutes through Waite, Shakallis, John Nicolopoulos and Shane Valenti. Fayman and Dean Rotenberg kicked the last two goals of the quarter to steady the ship for the Jackas and set up a big last quarter.

As it turned out, the Jackas did enough and found themselves in front at the final siren, hanging on for a six point win.

Having sat in Beaumaris’s shadow for most of the season, St Bede’s/Mentone found themselves with an opportunity to snatch top spot when they took on bottom side Hampton. The Tigers set the tone of what was to come with eight scoring shots to TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Old Brighton v Old Haileybury St Bede’s/Mentone v Monash Old Scotch v Hampton Ajax v Beaumaris Parkdale v Fitzroy

two in the first term. They blew the game open in the second quarter, kicking 7.3 to 1.4. Five of the goals came in the first half of the quarter, with Alex Smout, Michael Barnes, George Rowlands and Erish Uthayakumar all getting on the board. Hampton showed glimpses late in the term but were unable to convert chances into goals, with William Walker kicking the Rovers only major for the term. Ben Nicoll and Pat Tyquin consolidated the Tigers supremacy with the last two goals of the quarter and a 50-point half time lead. The Rovers fought back well in the third quarter kicking five goals to three, but were held goalless in the last as the Tigers finished with a 65-point win and regained top spot after Beaumaris crashed to a big loss against Old Brighton.

Monash had won three of their past four games and were looking to continue their march to the finals when they took on Parkdale. The Blues had more scoring shots in the first term but inaccuracy meant they trailed by one point at quarter time.

The second term saw just one goal kicked as both teams struggled to find the big sticks, and the Blues found themselves five points up at the main break.

The shackles came off in the third quarter as both teams combined for nine goals. Josh Manning put the Vultures in front in the opening minute but was soon answered by Gareth Taylor. The Blues started to assert their authority as the goals came thick and fast. Nick Petering, Andre Headberry and Nick McConville all added goals over the next few minutes before Nathan Papatsanis and Charlie Dillon stemmed the flow for the Vultures. Headberry received a gift in the form of a 25m penalty thanks to a lack of discipline from the Parkdale defence and Monash led by 25 points at three-quarter time.

After the frantic third quarter things slowed down in the last, with both teams managing just one goal each and Monash climbing back into the top four with a 27-point win.

RELEGATION WIDE OPEN Ormond fought their way off the bottom of the ladder after they defeated Oakleigh by 24 points last Saturday. Ormond now sit 9th, only 1% higher than Oakleigh and one win behind Old Camberwell and Marcellin. The Monders jumped to an early lead and maintained it throughout the entirety of the game. It was a scorefest in the opening quarter with 17 scoring shots in favour of the Monders, 6.4 to the Krushers 3.4. The Monders biggest lead came in the final term when they kicked four majors to the Krushers won, extending their three quarter time lead of 6 points to 24 points. Young gun James Landman was named best afield for his standout performance for the Monders, while teammates Thomas Buckley (three) and Sam Stait (three) combined for six majors. Aaron Cloke bagged four goals for the Krushers and took his season tally to 53 from 17 games.

Inaccurate kicking from both Old Ivanhoe and Caulfield Grammarians prevented from what could have either been a much closer encounter, or a horrific blowout. With the top four already set for finals, it was time for 1st to play 4th in a mini finals encounter to prepare for September action. Both sides had their chances in front of goal early but it was the Fields who took the quarter time lead kicking 3.6 to the Hoe’s 1.3. The Hoe’s struggled in front of goal for the next two quarters, only managing three goals to three quarter time and trailing the Field’s by 40 points. The Fields were excellent around stoppages and sent repeated entries to their forward line through Jordan Stewart, who starred in a best-on-ground display for the Fields. Sam Banfield (two) and Thomas Small (three), who have all hit fine form leading into September capitalised up forward and were two of the Field’s eight goal kickers.

Kew put an end to any relegation prospects with a win against equally placed Williamstown CYMS last Saturday. The Bears played some of their best footy in the first half, kicking 10 goals to The Cy’s five, going into the main break with 30 point lead. But the Cy’s third quarter was their best for the day, matching Kew’s second term and kicking 6 goals to the Bears two. Only seven points split the two at the last break, before the Bears piled on six goals from their 9 scoring shot to end their three game losing streak. The Bears forward power, proved too difficult to match with Andrew Brazzale kicking four goals (43 for the season), young gun Rob Maibaum managing three and veteran Sam Bishop, who recovered from a heavy knock at training during the week, clutched a further three. Jack Gray, Mitch Parkinson, Nathan Bratby and Russell Ackerly were al multiple goal kickers for the Cy’s.

Marcellin’s purple patch of form has come at an ideal time of the year as they fight off relegation, having not lost a game for four consecutive weeks. The Nodders got the upperhand early, kicking with the breeze and breaking away to a 13 point lead at quarter time, but allowed Marcellin six scoring shots. The Nodders only managed a point in the second term, as the accurate Marcellin slotted home five majors to secure an 18 point lead at the main break.

The Nodders fired back in the third term with seven goals from 12 scoring shots in a dominant display, regaining a 14 point lead but faced a

tough last quarter ahead. The Nodders moved to defence and resisted Marcellin to only 3 goals and managed one themselves to finish 12.11 a piece at the final siren. Ben Phibbs and Jono Blanch were best for their respective units, while Rees Thomas kicked four goals for the Nodders and James Robertson and Dan Cullinan snagged three each for the Eagles. The Nodders are now half a game behind the Fields, while the Eagles move up to seventh and a game clear of the bottom two spots.

It was a fast paced opening quarter between Peninsula and Old Camberwell, with the Wellers taking a nine point lead into the first break despite the Pirates having more scoring shots.

Luckily for the Pirates, their repeat entries gave them many second chances in front of goal but they still only managed 5.12 to the Wellers six scoring shots at half time. The scoring began to

At the final change, the lead was set at 35 points before the scoring opened up again in the final term. The Pirates took home a convincing 43 point victory, which could have been a far greater margin had the Pirates kicked more accurately then 11.19.

ALEX SINGLETON progressed through our Junior program and U/19’s before making his senior debut in 2009 and has been a permanent fixture in the senior line up ever since. Along the way Alex has collected VAFA rep honours, was Runner Up in our senior B&F (2011) won the Anzac Challenge medal (2012) and of course starred in our 2015 Premiership side. Alex’s resilience has been remarkable, missing just two games in nine seasons. Bernards supporters love seeing ‘Singa’ streaming down ‘the pit’ booting a goal and giving the ‘Singa Pump’. A terrific player, a great clubman and a super bloke. All at St Bernard’s salute Alex on his 150th.

LUKE SULLIVAN - Every club needs a Plugga! The Sullivan clan have been an important part of the club for decades and their presence at ‘the pit’ has been enhanced by Luke’s contribution as a player and stalwart clubman. Luke starred in our 2011 U/19 Grand Final win before making his way into senior ranks in 2012.

A reliable backman, Luke has a great ability to read the play and use his strong marking ability. It’s rare for a player so young to rack up the 150 and we look forward to seeing Luke chalk up a lot more at ‘the pit’ for many years to come.

Well done Plugga!

Old Ivanhoe would like to congratulate ADRIAN DEL MONTE on reaching 150 games against Peninsula this week. One of the most prolific goals scorers the club has ever seen , Adrian is a classic small forward who has caused nightmares for defences over the years . When `Della` is on song, his mercurial style of play assembles the soccer great Maradonna with his sudden changes in speed and direction, using his low centre of gravity to turn opponents inside out, an ability to kick goals from impossible situations ala Daicos-style, and an in-built radar to know where the goals are despite twisting/turning like a demented Tassie devil. A member of the 2007 U/19 flag winning side and also state rep U/23 for 2009-2011 , `Della` was also a member of the 2013 C section premiership side with 74 goals , Marcellin in particular no doubt would like to forget his 8 goal haul in the pre-lim.

Once again in the goals this year `Della` looks set for another finals series and a great second half to his career. Well done Adrian.

Congratulations to BRENDAN GOSS on reaching 100 games for the Old Xaverians Football Club. Gossy joined the Old Xavs in 2010, starting in the under 19s, kicking 57 goals in his first 12 games, before being promoted to the seniors. Gossy, one of our key forwards, kicked an incredible 80 goals in the 2013 Premiership year.

Gossy went to Balwyn for one year in 2015, however has returned better than ever in 2016 only just behind Matt Handley in leading the VAFA goal kicking. Gossy has also represented the Big V on five occasions. Well done Gossy on achieving this significant milestone, hopefully many more games in the ‘red and black’ to come.

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian's NICK LUDWIG - a determined and strong defender or back-up ruckman, 'Ludders' can play at full back or around the ground. A fine mark and good spoiler, he can be hard to beat in a one on one contest using strength to push the ball upfield. Nick is improving with every game and a terrific team player.

Grandson of former Ormond coach, MILNE, and son of former player, STEVEN, ALLO joined Ormond in the U/15s. He played in a senior grand final in 2013 and in 2014 he came 2nd in the B&F and made the VAFA C Grade Team of the Year. He has also coached Ormond’s U/16s and U/17s.

Congrats to DANIEL RILEY on his 100th game last week. Another St Bernards Junior graduate, Daniel made his senior debut in 2011 and in that year had the unique experience of playing in our Under 19 Grand Final before lining up in the Seniors Grand Final the following week. Daniel’s 100th also includes a Reserves B&F in 2013. After a year off in 2015 and some strong Ressies games this year Daniel returned to the senior line up last week and we look forward to seeing him flying down ‘the pit’ for many years to come. Well done Turtle!

Simon has won VAFA rep honours at U/19 and U/23 including captain of the State U/23 side. A highlight of Simon’s career was the 2015 Premiership where he lined up with brothers Tom and Michael. After a stint at Coburg in the VFL earlier this year Simon returned to ‘the pit’. Well done Kid!

He played First XVIII football at SKC in 2013 and joined SKOBs Under 19’s in 2014, where he was member of the Grand Final side that played against St Bernard’s. This year, his games have all been with the Reserve side, where he is looking forward to seeing Finals action again in September. Congratulations James.

PATRICK TURNBULL joined SKOBs in 2010 as an Under 19 player. Since then, he has played both Reserves and Thirds football and was Runner-Up in the B Grade Thirds B & F Award in 2012, although only playing 11 games that year. Patrick missed seasons 2013-2015 but is back this year playing his best football.

RAIDERS ROBBED Brunswick NOBSPC has done it. Coach Luke Mahoney broke down the last six rounds into a mini season and his charges certainly haven’t let him down in the latter stages of the home and away season. After a stunning victory over Whitefriars they have confirmed their position in Division 1 for 2017. In the process they have left Old Paradians shattered and Division 2 bound after they did all they could by defeating Ivanhoe.

While the only change at the upper end of the ladder was Old Geelong snatching the minor premiership from Old Mentonians after their 78 point thrashing of PEGS gave them a handy percentage boost.

Brunswick NOBSPC went to Whitefriars College Oval knowing that a win was the only way to lock in Division 1 action next season. After trailing by 16 points at half time it was looking as though they would have to rely on other results to fall their way. A stunning second half performance meant other results were a non-issue and the boys from Brunswick were able to enter party mode post game as they finished the season off on the best possible note. It was 12 goals to three after half time as the Friars were left scoreless in the final quarter and ultimately blown off the park.

Kyle Adams finished a solid season with a bag of six, Gerrard Bence had his kicking boots on once again as he booted four majors and Adam Oakley starred for the NOBs. Jason Spencer fought hard for the Friars and Michael Nitas (three goals) was the main target up forward.

Old Paradians held up their end of the bargain, only to be left devastated, as their win wasn’t enough to avoid relegation. The Raiders are now left to rue their dismal first half of the season after becoming a one of the most competitive sides in the competition in the second half of the year. They finished 19 points ahead of Ivanhoe in what was an arm wrestle over the entire four quarters. Luke Mccann booted three crucial goals for the Raiders 16

and Robert Amerena turned in an outstanding game. For the Hoes, Mitch Lovell ended his season on a high following up last week’s 10-goal haul with three more and Justin Harty fought hard.

Prahran-Assumption ended their year on a high, upsetting St Mary’s Salesian to the tune of 15 points. The Two Blues can only wonder as to how the level of intensity and execution they displayed against the Saints hasn’t been around all year. The game was virtually goal for goal with the final margin the largest of the day. The Two-Blues held a slim five-point lead going into the final quarter and were able to use the scoring end to their advantage. The win was a fitting farewell for star small forward John Robbins (four goals) who is off to NSW next year. Luke Kerr and Adam Sleight also starred for the home side. Michael Dolan and Stefan Gusts did what they could for the Saints by registering three goals each. The Saints will be disappointed to fall short of the top four this season, but have set a solid foundation for the years to come.

Old Geelong has given PEGS a pre-finals reality check with a 78-point thumping at Como Park. Old Geelong had an even spread of goal-kickers with six multiple goal scorers. Jack Mcmeel (3 goals) led from the front and Aaron Bird (2 goals) was everywhere. PEGS will hope their performance was an aberration and will be needing a much stronger performance come finals time. Trent Skurrie finished the home and away season with three majors and Lain Genovesi did his utmost.

Old Mentonians tuned up for finals with an impressive come from behind victory over Therry Penola. The Panthers were trailing the Lions all day and needed to make up a 23-point three quarter time deficit. They produced a stunning offensive TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Old Geelong v Old Mentonians PEGS v Therry Penola

and defensive display in the final quarter keeping the Lions scoreless and nailing six goals of their own. Kyle Conlon was the star once again for the Panthers, with a scintillating display that featured three majors and Michael Myers-Snyders had his best game for the year. Jarrod Bannister’s four majors made it 75 goals for the season as he tops the goal-kicking tally for the home and away season and Jake Butson starred for the Lions but couldn’t quite get his side over the line.

Finally, the time of the season we have all been waiting for… Finals time. The weather begins to improve, the playing surfaces are at their peak, the intensity rises and there is so much more on the line. Week 1 features two absolute blockbusters.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

in a battle that will secure the winners spot in the Grand Final and Premier C for 2017. I’m tipping the Ogs to continue their irresistible form and take home the chocolates. The encounter between third and fourth sees PEGS take on Therry Penola.

This is a real toss of the coin kind of affair between the two old enemies. Both sides are full of firepower and goal kicking powerhouses. If PEGS can utilise their big men and get their hands on the sherrin first they should be able to come out on top in what should be an absolute nail biter. What a weekend we have ahead of us! Good luck to all teams involved, commiserations to the relegated sides and see you next year to those sides that missed out on finals and avoided the drop.

DIVISION 2

LATE SEASON FORM The last round of the Division 2 regular season saw MHSOB fall short of finals, as wins for Yarra Valley OB and West Brunswick wins locked in the top four positions.

St Johns OC finished their season in the best possible shape as they defeated relegated Richmond Central by 283 points at Thomas Carroll Reserve. It was Richmond Central’s last chance to for a win in 2016, but they were outmatched from the opening bounce. They would be held scoreless in the first half, giving up 12 and eight goals in each quarter respectively to trail by 73 points at quarter time and 127 points at half time. St Johns continued the same onslaught in the second half kicking 10 goals in the third and 14 in the last, while Richmond Central remained scoreless. St Johns OC goal sneak Aaron Thornton came off a few dry weeks to claim the Division’s leading goal kicker with 16 for the day and a best on ground performance. Mitch Broughton tried hard all day for the Snakes.

West Brunswick secured second place on the ladder heading into to finals and ended the final hopes of MHSOB, as they defeated the Unicorns by 20 points at Melbourne High School. West Brunswick started the stronger of the two sides, putting four goals on the scoreboard while giving up two to lead by 10 points. The momentum switched in the second, as the Unicorns piled on 5.0 to 3.4 for the Magpies as West Brunswick held onto a two-point half time lead. This would be as close as the Unicorn would get for the remainder, as West Brunswick led by 16 points at three quarter time and 20 points at the final siren. Zac Tisdale maintained his fine goal kicking form for West Brunswick with five, as Codie Wills was the best on ground. Kane Smith was gallant up forward with four for the Unicorns, and Matt White battled hard all day.

18

Despite inaccuracy, Yarra Valley OB sealed the final place in the top four as they held off Bulleen/ Templestowe by 37 points at Ted Ajani Reserve. The game started in a tight fashion as both sides kicked three goals, with an extra behind for Yarra Valley gave them the smallest of quarter time lead. The Bullants didn’t keep up their attacking flair in the second quarter, as they were held to two behinds for the quarter and conceding two goals to trail by 17 at half time. But the momentum turned after the break as four Bulleen/Templestowe goals to two for the Bushrangers had the game balance at five points at three quarter time. The final quarter followed the pattern of the second as it was five goals to none in the favour of Yarra Valley was the difference. Ben Trend was again Yarra Valley’s best, with Matt Stone putting three goals through. Jack Cowell put in another performance as Bulleen/ Templestowe’s best.

Preston Bullants overcame a slow start to defeat a gallant Eltham Collegians side by 35 points at W.R. Ruthven Reserve. The Turtles have been a dangerous side this season and this game was no exception as they jumped out to a 16-point quarter time lead. Preston overturned the deficit in the second through a five goal to one quarter to lead by 10 points. After half time, Eltham Collegians took their turn to win the quarter on the scoreboard, but only reduced the margin by one point to a nine point three quarter deficit. In the last, it was a repeat of the second quarter as the Bullants kicked away to victory with five goals two one. Jay Phelan put in a strong shift for Preston and the majority of the damage was done by Roland Buttigieg. Bryan Galvin slammed through four goals for the losing side, with support around the ground from Jonathan Iaquinto.

With the regular season over, we now move into the business end of the season with the Division Two final series. The qualifying final sees St Johns OC facing West Brunswick, with the winner advancing to the grand final in three weeks’ time.

St Johns OC have been the dominate the best part of the season with injuries effecting major players, so I would be extremely surprised if their currently fit side didn’t advance straight to the grand final. Preston Bullants face Yarra Valley OB in the elimination final to face the loser of the qualifying final. Preston were unlucky to miss out on second place because of percentage and proved throughout the season they are not to be taken lightly.

Late season form has gotten the Bushrangers into this position and their best can match anyone in the competition. Despite this, in what I expect to be a tight affair, Yarra Valley OB’s form will evade them and the Bullants will advance.

HAWTHORN CAPTURE THE MINOR PREMIERSHIP As we wrap the last round of the regular season the final ladder positions are set. The Minor Premiership was decided in a compelling battle between our heavyweights at the top that might have been a Grand Final preview. We say congratulations to Mitch Gleeson as the La Trobe spearhead has sewn up the goal-kicking race and we say good luck to our departing clubs. Lets check out the games...

LA TROBE UNIVERSITY DEF. AQUINAS OC La Trobe have used another stellar defensive performance to dismantle Aquinas by 94 points, 114-20, and finish the regular season in third place.

Holding the Bloods goalless through three quarters the Trobers piled it on at the other end kicking away to record another convincing win. Mitch Gleeson wrapped up the goal-kicking race in style adding six majors in the rout to finish the season with 75 goals, 12 more than his closest rival. La Trobe have continued this devastating vein of form and could pose a major obstacle for the two at the top of the ladder in the Finals. For Aquinas it brings to an end a very difficult campaign that will see them fall to Division 4 in 2017, hopefully we see them again in the not too distant future.

CANTERBURY DEF. PARKSIDE It was an incredible 10-goal second quarter that Canterbury has used to propel them to a 119-point thrashing of Parkside, 195-76, in both teams’ final hit-out of the season. Tumbling out of the Finals picture in the past few weeks the Cobras looked to inflict all their remaining venom upon the Red Devils. After a tight first quarter that saw the team’s separated by only two points, Canterbury exploded in the second term to blow the lead out to 55 points at the half-time break. It was much of the same in the second half as the Cobras added another 15 majors to only five from Parkside. Another tough day on the oval for Parkside in Division 3, they will now look to a solid season in Division 4 next year to regain their lost confidence.

STH MELBOURNE DIST. DEF. SWINBURNE UNI It was a stirring final term comeback that saw South Melbourne defeat Swinburne University by 3 points, 70-67, at Lindsay Hassett Oval. Stumbling out of the gate, the Swans trailed Swinny at every change, falling behind by 17 points at the three-quarter time 20

break but with a fourth quarter challenge ahead of them the Finals bound Swans responded. Ramping up their defensive pressure, South Melbourne held Swinburne to a lone behind while being able to record three goals of their own to wrestle back the lead and hold on for the impressive victory.

It was a game that epitomises Swinny’s season, another winnable game slipped from their grasp, it has been these inconsistent performances that have cost them a spot in September. Something to overcome next year.

ALBERT PARK DEF. UHS-VU Don’t tell Albert Park it was a dead rubber as the Falcons surprised the Finals contender UHS-VU by six points, 74-68, at Beaurepaire Pavilion. Playing with nothing to lose Albert Park benefitted from the Vultures poor kicking in front of the big sticks booting 12 behinds in the first half which meant the Falcons held a narrow nine point at the break.

However the Vultures showed why they are a Finals contender as they fought back and took the lead in the third quarter but it was a brief lead. As the Vultures couldn’t stop the final term charge by Albert Park where they recorded four goals and 11 behinds and won the game. UHS-VU now faces the tough test of trying to score against the ferocious La Trobe defence in week one of the Finals.

HAWTHORN DEF. GLEN EIRA Hawthorn has taking the title of Minor Premiers as they proved too strong for Glen Eira defeating them by 18 points, 83-65, at Packer Reserve in what might be a Grand Final preview. In a battle of the heavyweights it was the Saints who threw the first haymaker taking the opening term but the Hawks weren’t ready to stay on the mat. Fighting back in the second quarter with six goals to take a commanding 26-point lead at half-time. After the break, the Hawks continued the pummelling on the Saints taking the third quarter in a tough contest but it had done the damage, going on to lose the final quarter but win the match. The two squads have been the best teams all season long and Hawthorn has tied the ledger at 1-1 with the win, the next match-up might be in the last Saturday of the season.

POWER HOUSE DEF. ELSTERNWICK In their final tune-up before the Finals, Power House has dominated Elsternwick by 58 points, 121-63, to THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to ren.w.thompson@gmail.com

record their sixth straight victory. After keeping the Wickers goalless in the first quarter, Power House continued the misery for Elsternwick keeping them to only a single major while kicking 10 goals of their own. Power House didn’t let up after main break extending the lead to 86 points by the end of the third term, before cruising to the crushing win.

Power House have shown over the past month of footy that the can definitely kick a winning score, if their defence can stand up to the challenge of Glen Eira’s attack they might be a chance at the upset.

seeing the minor premiership slip from their grasp will be too strong. The rampaging Hawthorn will host the pesky Swans in the opening round but the Division’s top scoring squad will have too many weapons for the travelling outfit. In the final game, La Trobe will rely on their suffocating defence to handle the UHS-VU Vultures and advance one step closer to the title. Can’t wait.

WHO CAN BEAT WESTBOURNE? Well, the home and away season has come and gone and “then there were four”. Heading into the finals, only the Warriors, Doggies, Sharks & the Rams remain. Whilst the rest of the competition are left to ponder on what could’ve been. It’s also TEAM OF THE YEAR time and congratulations to those who made it. Some honourable mentions are: A. Imber (WESB), A. Grigg (PTC), J. Balon (EP), M. Hampton (MTL), A. Pianto (MAN), T. Falconer (NB), R/ Mehlstauber (BHN), N. Cunningham (MAS) and J. Edwards (Chad). Before we talk finals, we need to do last week’s games one more time:

MANNINGHAM DEF MASALA Manningham finished off their see-saw season in style, knocking off a vastly improved Masala, at Koonung Reserve. Both sides struggled to hit the scoreboard in the first as both sides came out as if it was their own grand final. The 2nd quarter saw the game open up a lot more but, inaccurate kicking kept the game close with the Cobras up 14 at the long break. From then on, the Cobras applied the clamps to the Tigers paws and sewed up the game in the third, kicking straight for 6-2. With the sting taken out of the game from there, Manningham finished off nicely, winning by 72 points. Tigers, Sam Freeman kicked 3 for the 2nd week running and Ben Nugent was their best. For the Cobras, Nick Edwards kicked a season high 6 goals, Chris Jolly 4 and Adam Pianto (1) west best afield.

MT. LILYDALE DEF BY WESTBOURNE Our match of the round certainly had some hype with 2 top 4 sides on a ground Mt. Lilydale are tough to beat. But, the bubble was burst at the Rams last home game and they do not appear to have recovered as the visting Westbourne once again, seemed to have their way with the opposition. After another fierce first quarter, the Warriors also applied the clamps and seemed to score at will, as the Rams struggled with their forward entries. Westbourne’s 110 point victory 22

is putting everyone on notice. BOG Chris Hudson was sublime across half-forward, booting 6. Nick Schiano had 3, leading the 8 other scorers. Max Hampton was the Rams only multiple scorer with 3 and Tom Bailey (1), was the Rams best.

POINT COOK DEF NORTH BRUNSWICK What should’ve been match of the round, was Point Cook hosting North Brunswick. Another slow start both sides, which saw the Bulls kick the first score after 5 minutes and maintaining the lead for most of the quarter. Point Cook kicked away to 23 point lead late in the 2nd but, the Bulls could only trade goals with the Doggies up until the 4th. The Bulls made a late charge in the 4th to peg it back to a straight kick, with 8 minutes to play but, their efforts started to wane again as the Doggies survived by 12 points. Pat Notaro again had no trouble hitting the scoreboard with 4, Tom Cotton 2 and Will Croagh was their best. The Bulls did a job on William Dawson holding him to just the 2 goals but, the goals were well spread, with Jordan Steen leading with 3. Best on ground was midfielder, Jordan Lampi.

ELEY PARK DEF BOX HILL NORTH Box Hill North headed over to face cross town rivals, Eley Park, keen to give it one last crack for 2016. The Sharks seemed to be a bit cleaner off the deck and had better use in the first three quarters whilst, Bocky appeared to squander a few “gettable” goals in front of the sticks. Come the fourth, Bocky were determined to not finish the season without going down without a fight. With a few spot fires going around the ground, Bocky seemed to take full advantage going forward, kicking 5-1 and winning the quarter. In the end the even spread around the ground led by BOG TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Eley Park v Mt. Lilydale Westbourne v Point Cook

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to gavsouthern@me.com

Dave Viola. Ten Shark goal-kickers, led by nuggety forward, Daniel Crawford (4 goals), was also too much for the Demons. Bocky should be proud with their output against a quality side. Jordan Gasparini also saved his best for last with 5 goals and was best for the Demons

FINALS PREVIEW After 18 rounds, it’s finals time!! There’s a few burning questions to be asked leading in. Who can Beat Westbourne? Will it be an all-west final?

Can Eley Park produce what we all know they’re capable of? Can Mt. Lilydale bounce back after a disastrous August so far?? The venues aren’t known at the time of printing. To this weeks games:

the park but, will be close to it come Saturday. Mt. Lilydale will be hungry to bounce back to form and this is anybody’s match. I’m going to stick with the Sharks.

Westbourne (1st) Vs Point Cook (2nd) - Is this the Grand Final preview? Loser gets a double chance, winner gets a week off before the Granny.

Point Cook are a great team but, Westbourne are better. It’s a clear choice but, stranger things have happened. Ask Westbourne

Eley Park (3rd) Vs Mt. Lilydale (4th) - It’s 1-1 during the season with both sides winning at home. Eley Park haven’t been able to put their best side on

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

GRILL’D RISING STAR 2016 CHRIS HUGHES — ST BERNARD’S Chris Hughes along with his twin brother Mitch first started playing for St Bernard’s in under 14’s, after playing with Keilor in the under 10’s and 12’s. Chris was a very good junior footballer winning his first B&F in the under 12’s and then again in the under 18’s and the under 19’s in 2013, 14. It capped off a great year with St Bernards in 2014 who also won the under 19’s premier division premiership that year under talented coach Rocky Lanello. Chris was the first under 19 player in 5 years at St Bernard’s to make the senior side in 2014. He followed this up with 13 games in St Bernard’s senior winning premiership side last year and while still under 19 has played 16 games again this year. Chris is blessed with silky skills and is an excellent ball user, often playing the outside running role, giving drive and penetration inside the forward line. He is a dangerous forward flanker/ wingman who can find space and is currently the leading goal kicker for St Bernard’s this year. He can be an exciting player to watch with good leg speed, agility and a big running tank. After making the under 19’s VAFA Victorian Representative side this year his play was described as electric during the 3rd quarter in that game as he kicked 2 goals and played a hand in 2 others including 40-meter lace out pass into the forward line. Chris is known at St Bernards to be a great team player, he works hard at winning the outside ball and providing the transfer and run down field. He is encouraging of others on and off the field and shows great leadership and courage at the club. He loves St Bernard’s and he is really enjoying the development, encouragement and education being provided by senior coach Mark Riley. He is committed to improving his game and helping St Bernard’s get back into premier grade next year. Chris plays a bit like Nick dal Santo and Sean Burgoyne, as he tries to never waste an opportunity.

He has great run and uses the ball well. Chris of course hates kicking a goal! Chris has a quiet demeanour, he does not say a lot, but he listens well and is super competitive underneath. Chris plans to work hard over summer building his fitness and his upper body strength with his longer term aim to move into a midfield role.

RETRO

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2011 It was finals time for Division 1 and below and in Division 1 there was an upset in the Semi Final 2 between ladder leaders Banyule and Parkdale Vultures who were third on the ladder. During the home and away season Banyule had been unstoppable being undefeated after 18 rounds but the Vultures were up and running in this final.

After an even first quarter the Vultures pulled away to record a great win 18.7 to 10.15. Lachlan Oakley’s 7 goals were critical in Parkdale’s win Nathan Braddy’s 4 goals were valuable for Banyule but he needed more assistance if his team were to bridge the gap. Banyule were have to now come back via the preliminary final.

Best – Robbins, Oakley (7), Redmond, Ryan (4), Platt, Kelleher (Parkdale) and Braddy (4), Driscoll, Walsh, Truefeldt, Christian (Banyule).

In semi final 1 North Old Boys/St Pats were far too strong for Whitefriars winning 21.14 to 9.8 with NOBS’ first quarter of 8.3 setting their standard for the match. Best – Adams (5), Keown, Porter, Oakley, Sleep (4), Emmett (Friars).

In Division 2 Glen Eira marched into the grand Final after defeating St Johns 18.8 to 12.11 with Glen Eira leading for the whole game. Best – Boyd (8), King, Tsirogiannis, Eke, Stuchberry, O’Donnell (Glen Eira) and Mara, Gaget, O’Connor, Pouki, Carmichael, Dick (St Johns).

Therry Penola won the right to challenge for a spot in the Grand Final with a strong win over Eltham Collegians 12.13 to 6.8. Best – Egglestone, Maynard, Costello (3), Crotty, Lyons (Therry) and Richardson, Brown, Ciavola, Foo, Galvin, Hargrave (Eltham).

10 YEARS AGO – 2006 In D1 Section the premiership favourites, Old Carey were down at quarter time by over 3 goals to Old Geelong but had taken the lead at half time. They continued to control the game in the second half and their favoritism firmed considerably following their 19.11 to 10.14 win. It had been a physical game, especially in the first half and the C’s would welcome the week’s rest. Best – Barton, Battle, Jessup, T Angus (4), Mullins, Unkles (Old Carey) and Bell, Lansdell, Makin, White, Legoe, Bayles (Old Geelong).

The first semi between Yarra Valley and Rupertswood with Rupertswood, after trailing for three quarters, stepping on the accelerator, kicking 9 goals in the final term to win 20.14 to 14.10 and reveal themselves as real challengers for the title. Best – Collins, McGovern, Sweeney (4), Phillips, Ata, Webb (Rupertswood) and Yarra Valley’s disappointment was quite clear when they failed to nominate their best!

In D2 Section, Oakleigh Amateurs upset top team Peninsula Old Boys in the second semi final 18.11 to 44

9.7 and had led from start to finish. Trevor Bromley and Jon Rutter were everywhere for Oakleigh and led the charge. Oakleigh remained very confident of their ability to go all the way in the coming weeks. Best – Collins, Lamb, Reynolds, Rutter, Bromley (4), Gately (Oakleigh). Peninsula failed to nominate their best.

Old Haileybury’s Andrew Jenke won the Woodrow Medal, winning by three votes from Josh Madden (St Bernards). Andrew became the first Old Haileybury player to win the Woodrow.

Oakleigh honored Norm Walsh for his 40 plus years of service to football clubs in the Oakleigh area and particularly for his outstanding contribution to Oakleigh Amateur Football Club. Norm had also recently received the Sir John Monash award from the Monash City Council for his tireless, volunteer work including many hours of devotion to Oakleigh VFA and Oakleigh Sacred Heart Football Clubs. Norm was also a regular Duty Officer at VAFA finals.

20 YEARS AGO – 1996 In A Section, round 18 saw Old Xaverians win their ninth consecutive game to finish second to Collegians and ready to face up to Collegians in two weeks time in the second semi-final. The Xavs didn’t have it all their own way against St Bernards but lifted in the last quarter to win 14.12 to 9.16. Best – A Jones, Brennan, Berry (6), Holmes, M Hannaberry, Hawkins (Old Xavs) and Comito, Horn, Swann, Taylor, Sheehan, DiMingo (Old Xavs).

There were emotional scenes at the Melbourne High School Oval when the home side won 13.11 over North Old Boys 10.16 the result meaning MHSOB would stay in B Section while NOBS would be relegated to C Section in 1997. MHSOB looked clear winners at half time but NOBS fought back hard in the second half with the relegation threat always a catalyst for extra effort. Final score in MHSOB’s favour 13.11 to 10.16. Best – Comer, Harries, Walford, Fairchild, Lindsay, Howart (MHSOB) and Conti, Abrahams, O’Farrell, Leigh, Manassa (NOBS).

In the C Section 1st semi final StKilda South Caulfield defeated AJAX 21.16 to 9.3, the big win giving the Saints a lot of confidence heading toward the preliminary final against Marcellin who had been defeated in the 2nd semi by St Kevins Old Boys 15.15 to 11.17.

In D Section, at Central Reserve and in very windy conditions, Beaumaris met St Leos Emmaus. In the first quarter, Beaumaris kicked an important goal into the strong wind while St Leos wasted some opportunities to finish with 3.6. Beaumaris led at half time 3.5 to 3.6 and kicked another goal into the wind in the third quarter as St Leos again waster their opportunities kicking 1.6 but the scores were level.

In a terrific last quarter, with Beauy tipped to come THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

home strongly, St Leos were outstanding and their 3.2 to two straight goals won them the match 7.14 to 7.6. Best – Dinicolantonio, Edwards, O’Meara, Pitcher, Donovan, McKenzie (StL) and Fraser, Thomas, Holt, Taylor, Shaw, Reidy (Beaumaris).

In the second semi-final, Caulfield Grammarians kept up with Monash Blues for the first three quarters before the Blues ran away in the last term to win 13.18 to 9.7. Best – Logan, Caldwell, Alexander, Hipwell, Ford, Headberry (Monash) and T Royals, R royals, Whitmee, Harris, Lowe, Cowlishaw (Caulfield),

30 YEARS AGO – 1986 In A Section it was the final round of the home and away games and ladder leaders Collegians asserted themselves against third placed De La Salle with a commanding performance on the eve of the finals. With Richard Herman (6) in form up forward, Collegians were in command from half time and went on to record an impressive 15.6 to 8.9 victory.

Best – Irvine, Wright, Hinchen, G Parsons, Hoyle, Tregear (Coll) and Greene, Maher, Connolly, McHenry, Harrington, McDonnell (DLS).

The big match in B Section to decide fourth place between Uni Blacks and Fawkner was a ‘ripper’ with both sides showing they really wanted to be in the finals’ campaign in the coming weeks. The Blacks led narrowly at quarter time, Fawkner were up by a goal at half time and held a one point lead at the final change. In a terrific last quarter, Fawkner proved they wanted it more to win 13.15 to 12.12 and would play off in the first semi the following week while the Blacks could start preparing for the 1987 season.

Best – G Busst, M Tymms, Brown, Hills, Weir, Buckley (Fawkner) and Thompson, wines, Marks, Heath, Warren (4), Huntington (Blacks).

Thomastown held their top position in C Section with a final round win over AJAX, 21.9 to 16.14.

AJAX held their third position and would play off in the first semi the following week, their form in this match providing some optimism for the campaign ahead. Best – Simpson, Kelly, Pavera, J Bubis (5), Harling, A Fellows (Thomastown) and Cohen, Adler (3), Michmacher, Bendel, Basser, R Marks (AJAX).

UHSOB recorded their appreciation of Ian Chettle’s 16 years of dedication to his club. Ian had reached his 250th game milestone some weeks before. ‘Chetts’ had won two Reserves’ best and fairests and had played in the Reserves’ 1984 and 1985 premierships.

He had also held a number of positions for his club including being an Executive member and Press correspondent.

40 YEARS AGO – 1976 Although the final four was settled in D Section, two of the main contenders for the flag, second THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

placed Old Xaverians and third placed Assumption Old Collegians, played out a terrific game with only 1 point separating them at the final bell. The boys from Kilmore won the game in the dying moments hanging on to win by a point 13.14 to 13.13. Best – McKee, Barlow, Serafini, A O’Donnell (6), M O’Donnell (Assumption) and Adjemis, Noonan, Smarrelli, Fitzpatrick, P Naughton, M Rush (Old Xaverians).

In E Section it was a terrific finish to the season with the final four changing as a result. ANZ Bank’s huge win over AMP Society, 29.21 to 11.10 allowed them to take Heatherton’s place in the four despite Heatherton defeating Monash Whites 11.19 to 8.12. In addition, St Kevins Old Boys defeated Old Mentonians 12.17 to 6.9 and now swapped places with Mentonians who would face ANZ in the first semi final the following week. Trevor Dancer’s 16 goals not only played a huge part in the ‘Zedders’ huge win but it promoted Dancer to the top of the ‘Sharpshooters’ in his grade, replacing Pat Shannon of St Pats Monivae.

50 YEARS AGO – 1966 In C Section, Power House hung on to defeat St Bernards by 2 points in a thrilling finish. By winning, Power House held on to fourth place ahead of Old Brighton. Best – Gordon, Hutchinson, Cole (3), Hammett, Hutchins, Evans (PH) and Tobin, B Mahoney, P Collins, Reidy, M Perrett, Coughlin (St Bernards).

60 YEARS AGO – 1956 State Savings Bank (2nd) played Coburg (3rd) in the A Section first semi final at the St Kilda Cricket ground. In those days the ‘minor premiers’ (top after 18 rounds) had the advantage of playing against the team that finished fourth, in the second semi-final in week two of the finals. The ‘Bankers’ were inaccurate in front of goal while Coburg made the most of every opportunity. The game was fairly even at half time but Coburg went ahead in the final quarter winning 8.4 to the Bank’s 4.13. Coburg praised the efforts of 19-year-old P Rochow at centre half back and C Mitchell on the wing.

In C Section Hampton Rovers 7.8 defeated Teachers’ College 4.6 and top team South Melbourne City 9.14 defeated Caulfield Grammarians 4.14.

The VAFA Best and Fairest awards for sections C and D were announced as follows at a function held at the South Melbourne Town Hall – C Section – 1st Don Hoffman (ES&A Bank), 2nd D Robson (Malvern) and 3rd C Bridges (Malvern).

D Section – 1st Bern McKenna (St Pats), 2nd - R Hellard (De La Salle), 3rd D Northrope (Murrumbeena).

HOLMESGLEN UNDER 19

John Donohoe Xavs relinquish top two as Sharks and Skobs surge In a shock to the competition, the team that has sat atop the Under 19 Premier ladder all season, gave up their spot at the top after consecutive losses to Beaumaris and St.Kevins two very strong teams, and one of them will undoubtedly be there on Grand Final day, and will likely win it.

Old Xavs took on St.Kevins, one of the most threating sides in the competition and were simply no match for the Skobs, at T.H. King. Skobs got off to a strong start with, but it was still tight at the first break going in 15-8 ahead, before obliterating the usually strong Old Xavs defence kicking six goals to one in the second to really put their foot on the Old Xavs throats.

The Old Xavs hit back in the third nailing three goals to two, but the dye had been cast by that point, and St.Kevins ran away 15pt winners and claimed top spot in the process. It took until the final round for the Old Xavs to be dethroned and they now face a sudden death playoff against Old Scotch in the first final on Sunday afternoon.

Sam Barnett was outstanding in the victory booting four goals and walking away as the best player on the ground, along with Dimattina, and Mahoney.

For the Old Xavs, McKay and Morris toiled hard all day and put up strong showing’s but it wasn’t to be for the Xavs. It isn’t panic stations yet at Toorak Park, as we know the fighting spirit will come out, when their backs are against the wall, the Old Xavs always rise up, and expect nothing less from this bunch of committed fellas in the finals series.

Old Scotch dropped their final game of the season against St.Bernards in a game that had no implications on finals for either side. Scotch were safely in fourth going into this clash and St. Bernard’s were sitting in the middle of the table.

A loss here may not seem too disruptive for Scotch, although going into a finals series you want to get a win on the board and keep the momentum going, keep that winning feeling amongst the group. So we will see next week if it had much of an effect on the Scotch boys going into their final against the powerful Xavs side.

Stewart kicked two for the Cardinals, while Daggian, Dawborn and Zietsman played strong games which is positive going into finals that their best players are performing strongly.

For Bernards, Beddoe continues to be one of the league’s best players, booting four goals and getting plenty of the footy for Bernards in their final game of the season. Holland and Di Lizio were also good for Bernards, who will now pack up, re assess and get ready for 2017.

Beaumaris have ended the regular season in fine fashion with a 24 goal victory over Uni Blues at Crawford Oval, conditions at Crawford made it tough to kick goals but the Sharks still managed 26 majors on the day.

The Sharks will now finish second and play St.Kevins in the first final with the winner to advance to the Grand Final in a fortnight.

Gibbins continued his good form with a six goal haul while Cusack and Globan chipped in with four majors of their own.

Wilson, Miller, Globan and Evans were strong for the Sharks who loom as a serious threat to St.Kevins and the Old Xavs in this year’s premiership race, and should they get past St.Kevins this week, they will fancy their chances of taking this year’s title.

For Blues, Barr, Blair and Clements tried hard all day, but just didn’t have the support around them to really make an impact on the match. Both Uni sides will be pretty happy that the season is now over, and they can plan for a better 2017 season.

De La Salle finished their season with a win against the struggling Uni Blacks side, at Waverly Oval, the Dee’s just missed out on a finals berth this season missing out by two games to Scotch.

Martinez bagged six for De La and Lvovskiy bagged four while Marchese contributed a handy three to the contest. Bisognin, Persson and Morgan were really good for De La, in a mixed year for the boys from Dairy Bell Oval.

As for Uni Blacks, it will be another year they would rather forget, with only two wins on the year and finishing second last, they will be keen to get back on the winners list in a big way next year, and hope to recruit the very best 18 and 19 year olds attending Melbourne Uni in 2017.

Edwards had a strong match as did Vraca and Trevaskis but nothing really worked for the Uni sides this season and they would be thankful this horror season has finally come to an end.

Well done to all teams this season, and to those who made the team of the year. I am looking forward to an exciting finals series ahead.

FINALS TIPS: Premier: Beaumaris to beat St.Kevins by eight points Old Xavs to beat Scotch by 39pts Premier Reserve: St.Kevins by 10pts against the Old Xavs Beaumaris by 12 points against De La Salle THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

HOLMESGLEN U 19 SECTION 2 A final round thriller at Whitefriars college on Saturday observed Old Trinity break the home side’s hearts by a solitary behind. The victory was Trinity’s third of the season, handing the lowly ‘Friars bottom position on the ladder. Evenly matched across the park, both of these sides were playing for pride and late in the second quarter it was Whitefriars who looked to have the edge. A see-sawing second half failed to split the two until ultimately a behind was the final margin.

For the Friars, Hewitt Murray was the standout player on the ground with six goals. Harry Thompson of Old Trinity stood up in pivotal moments to put grab the contest by the scruff of the neck and will his side over the line with five majors and multiple score involvements. Caulfield finished the home and away season on a high, defeating a plucky Fitzroy outfit by three points. The Roys looked down and out at three quarter time, trailing the visitors by 28 points at the final change. Much to the delight of the home crowd, the Roy Boys fought back, giving one last ferocious effort for season 2016 as they nearly pulled off an incredible comeback win. Matt Ball was enormous for Caulfield, kicking six goals to claim best afield honours. Elsewhere, Parkdale were too good for Old Carey, and St Bedes/Mentone surprised an in-form Old Melburnians outfit to round out the regular season with a victory.

Finals Week One Parkdale v Old Melburnians Caulfield Gr. v St Bedes/Mentone Tigers

U19 SEC. 3 Hampton Rovers capped off a disappointing 2016 campaign on a positive note with a commanding victory over a flat Old Brighton side. A six goal to zip third quarter blitz by the Rovers was the difference at the final siren, the match relatively even up until half time. Sam Gall was best afield to cap off a season where the slight backman has stood up admirably. Corey Jones was hot for the third straight week, booting four majors to propel his side to victory. Williamstown proved their mettle against fellow premiership aspirants Ormond on Saturday with a comfortable 54-point win. The Monders got off to a slow start, conceding a four goal deficit at quarter time, and although they fought and clawed their way back into the game in the middle quarters the damage had already been inflicted. Jake Slee was again on target with five more majors, taking his season tally to a whopping 65 goals. The potency of the Williamstown forward line is the envy of every side in division three. However, it is their defence which has conceded the least points of any team in the division that is the most formidable component of this super team. They enter a finals campaign brimming with confidence, having only lost two matches for the season and an enormous percentage of 177% - 32% higher than second placed Collegians. In other results, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2016

the season couldn’t come to a close sooner for Old Ivanhoe who were on the end of a 214-point loss to Collegians, and Mazenod saw off Marcellin.

Finals Week One Williamstown v Collegians Mazenod v Ormond

UNDER 19 SECTION 4 In the last week before finals, all teams were keen to get out there and showcase what they had. Monash Blues player an exciting brand of footy last weekend to beat PEGS. Monash Blues started off strong with Cameron Bishop getting amongst the action. PEGS put up a good fight to try and stay in the game but it was no match for Monash Blues who fall short of finals this year. It was a close game between the two bottom sides that had everyone watching on the weekend.

UHS-VU had a great start to the game but by half time Therry Penola came out and managed to keep UHS-VU scoreless. In the fourth quarter UHS-VU just got over the line to take home the win by five points with Matthew M Mallia and Michael Healey both kicking three goals. Old Haileybury dominated the game against AJAX on the weekend with AJAX going down by 93 points. Charles Constable, Durras Seccull and William Paul racked up multiple possessions for Old Haileybury helping them hold out top spot come finals this weekend. Preston hosted Peninsula last weekend in what turned out to be a close game come second half. Peninsula led against Preston Bullants last weekend in the first half but the tables turned quite quickly after the half time break with Preston Bullants coming out wanting to win more than ever.

Even though Peninsula put up a strong fight, Preston Bullants ran home with the win in the last quarter.

UNDER 19 SECTION 5 Parkside led all game last weekend when taking on Aquinas, they had Gabriel Trevan, Riley Shortal and Isaac Romano all getting amongst the action to help secure the win for Parkside. Old Paradians came out strong from the start with Joseph Bland kicking four goals, but when it reached the last quarter Oakleigh got right back into the game and ended up coming home with the win. Mazenod led all game but MHSOB who were only a few points behind them all game was supplying the pressure. Even though MHSOB put up a good fight, Joshua Cochrane came out and kicked six goals for the day helping Mazenod take home the win. De La Salle looked fierce on all lines last week when versing La Trobe who fell short. With Benjamin Ahearn, Trent Shannon, Riccardo Rando and Michael Jakes all getting in the best helped De La Salle secure second spot for finals this weekend. St Johns got there third win for the season against the fourth positioned SBMT last weekend with Nathan Mcconchie kicking three goals and both Bradley Barker and Joshua Johns getting in the best.

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

FINALS

PRE FINALS DINNER:

The serious action starts today for most clubs and umpires. To those clubs that finished up for the year last Saturday and to those that finish today we thank you for your support throughout the year. Best of luck for the off season and 2017.

To those clubs lucky enough to be participating in finals, the VAFAUA wishes you the best of luck.

We hope you do not notice us during September (and August).

WHISTLE Last Saturday at Monash, our gun NSW recruit Rory Forster almost commenced the second half without the most important tool an umpire can have, a whistle! A quick realisation as the players were making position and a dash up and down the stairs avoided a potentially embarrassing situation.

HALF TIME ISSUES For the third time this year a Premier field umpire has had to pull out of a match at half time. We had Haydn O’Connor run the second half in Rd 13 by himself (Uni Blues v Trinity) after Brendan Hoornweg went down, Ollie ‘Oscar’ Bell Rd 15 (Olx Xavs v Collegians) after Hamish McCartney pulled out and last week Owen Hinson Rd17 (Old Trinity v SKOBS) had to sit the second half out with a calf strain. Luckily for Damien Anthony and Brendan Hoornweg it was a 3 umpire system at the wide open spaces of Old Trinity’s ground.

MILESTONES Kevin Segota – 800 Games Robert Seymour - 600 Games Dom Napoli – 500 Games Peter Teasedale - 300 Games Clayton Evans – 200 Games Ian Clydesdale - 100 Games Paul Colbert - 100 Games

Last Monday night the VAFAUA held our annual Pre Finals Dinner at the MCG where around 300 guests attended. A great night was had by all.

Special mention to David Anselmi for his role as MC, Mark Howard for being a wonderful guest speaker, Owen Hinson for putting together the audio visuals and Lionel Katz for coordinating the night.

GRAND FINAL’S REVIEW, 2016 Last Sunday, another season of Club XV111 concluded with the playing of the two Sectional Grand Finals. The games were played in contrasting climatic conditions, as the mid day weather was kinder than that in the afternoon when the Section 1 match was played in steady rain.

SECTION 1.

Minor premiers, Hawthorn started well against St Francis Xavier and quickly built a lead. Jason Yap, who was particularly dangerous up forward with multiple goals, was a key player in building the early Hawthorn lead. At the first change, Hawthorn held an eleven point lead.

The second quarter proved to be decisive in the final outcome of the match because St Francis failed to score and Hawthorn added three goals to give themselves a thirty two point lead at half time as conditions deteriorated through the constant rain.

Hawthorn added two goals to one in the third quarter as the wet ball and rain made the task ahead for St Francis an almost impossible one.

At three quarter time, Hawthorn held a match winning lead of forty one points.

Hawthorn’s dominance continued throughout the last quarter when they kicked another four goals to one kicked by St Francis. When the match ended, Hawthorn held a sixty two point lead, which gave them back to back premierships. Their victory was deserved and should be the precursor to many more depending on the development of the competition.

For St Francis; David Dapiran, Chris. Hughes and Brent Sheers were among their best.

Best players for Hawthorn included: Sam. Armstrong, Nick Geischen and Jason Yap Jason Yap was awarded the King Landrigan Medal as the best player on the ground.

Hawthorn co coach; John Farah won both the Sectional goal kicking and the Steve Mason Medal 58

for being adjudged the fairest and best player in the competition.

SECTION 2 Old Geelong came from behind to defeat a tiring West Brunswick by thirteen points and thus become Premiers.

The match, which was played in dry and still conditions, provided a close contest until the final minutes when Old Geelong’s freshness and more skilled forwards proved to be winning factors.

West Brunswick started the better and led at quarter time by seven points. The second quarter provided a dour struggle as each team struggled for supremacy. At half time, West Brunswick led by six points. Again in the third quarter, West Brunswick maintained the lead which they built to thirteen points by three quarter time.

As the last quarter proceeded, the fresher Old Geelong legs were able to cover more ground.

Their superior ball movement saw the Minor Premiers add four unanswered goals as the tiring West Brunswick players were unable to score in the final quarter. Old Geelong finished the match with a thirteen point lead, which meant a five goal turn around in the scores in the last quarter.

Best players for Old Geelong included: Matthew Graver, Cameron Sherwin and Patrick Healey.

Best for West Brunswick included: Daniel Monacella, Henry Mahoney and Angus Campbell.

The medal for best player in the game was won by Matthew Graver of Old Geelong.

Old Geelong forward Josh Archer was the leading goal kicker in the competition.

Monash Blues player Michael Chapman received the medal for being adjudged the fairest and best player in the Section.

Congratulations to each of the premier sides.

Commiserations, to those teams who were not successful. However as Margaret Mitchell wrote, “tomorrow is another day.”
