Michael Hazell - VAFA President

WELCOME TO THE 2013 VAFA FINALS SERIES As always, the 2013 VAFA finals will mean different things to different people. For players, especially older players, the 2013 finals might be that last opportunity to grasp a premiership cup before you settle into a life without playing football. For others, the 2013 finals might be about seeking retribution for a disappointing outcome in the 2012 finals and which you feel compelled to redress. For many others the 2013 finals might simply be another step in the football journey you are embarking on with no extra significance.

This may be because you are relatively young with many football years ahead of you, or you may have already had finals or premiership success in the VAFA or elsewhere.

Whilst every player, coach, club and umpire will have their own reasons as to why this weekend is important to them, the one common thread across all our grades and divisions at this weekend’s finals games is that the day will have more intensity than what players are used to when compared to the regular season. Players don’t necessarily try harder in finals, but there is certainly more hype, more expectation, more ramifications of losing, and more emotional investment from players, clubs and spectators when it comes to finals. The environment created by this cocktail of factors is somewhat unique to Australian Rules football because all these factors come together in a sport, which is so physically combative in a contact sense.

It provides a unique challenge.

Further, the challenge is just as great at Division Four reserves level as it is at might be Premier or Premier B senior grade level. It is all relative. The finals environment created by the cocktail of factors I mentioned earlier is unique to Australian Rules football, not unique to one level of football.

It is important to recognise that performing well in finals is not only a great test and challenge of one’s playing ability, but is also a great test of one’s character. How will you perform under increased pressure? How will you react to umpires and opposition players when faced with this increased pressure? How will you react if you lose? How will you react when you win?

The answers to these questions can go a long way to defining the culture of your club. There is no better opportunity to shape and define a club’s culture than with what happens over the next few weeks. The right culture can drive your club to sustained success well into the future.

As we enter the finals series, I ask that all our community keep in mind that putting finals on for all of our competition is a big challenge given the size of our competition and the difficulty with securing venues. It is an incredibly complex scenario and therefore not every club’s needs will be perfectly met, or even met to their satisfaction. And of course the release of match times and ground locations is never as early as clubs would like.

The understanding we receive from clubs in relation to finals ground locations and the flexibility they continually demonstrate is very much appreciated.

I wish everyone the best of luck for this weekend and the remainder of the finals series.

For those clubs who have already bowed out for 2013 or who will bow out today, I look forward to seeing you back in 2014.

TEAM OF THE YEAR There was a moment last Saturday when I was preparing a serve of humble pie. Uni Blues were on the rampage at University Oval, St Bernards were and Collegians were trailing and this week was all of a sudden shaping up as being a ripper. For those that read each week of the season, thank you, but often you wonder how much people take notice of the ramblings on these pages. Well this is the week when I try to pick a team of the year from the players that have caught my eye.

With the exception of the weeks commentating on Inner FM, I generally watch 2 halves of two matches a week. VAFA TV provides the opportunity to watch at what appears the telling quarter of each of the other matches. So bearing in mind these finer details, an offer to the Premier clubs to submit candidates was made and happily the team I had penciled before acceptances contained many of the names supplied. The team is weighted to those clubs nearer the top and to those players that have consistently been amongst their side’s best players. Certainly players in this side have all stood out for extended periods of matches to make the side. The Captain is Simon Richards who has had a stellar season at St Bedes/ Mentone Tigers and his Vice Captain is Ross Young.

The unlucky names are everywhere. Pickett, Handley, Carafa, Croft, Lacey, Gleeson, Hill, Smithwick, M Ambrose, Willingham, and in a bit of a cop out I have named 6 on the bench (because this squad might have injuries). Others miss that just haven’t played enough games. All in all this is a pretty good team, one that would win plenty of games of football. If you read it well done – if you hear you made the cut then perhaps by me a beer at your next post match, if not then there is always next year.

As mentioned Blues could have had us all guessing about this week’s fixtures, alas St Bedes/Mentone turned up in the second half to turn the match on its head. Fergus Watts (4) had his kicking boots but the Tigers were first able to dry up the scoring power of Blues then pile on the goals themselves. The Doherty’s foot skills were sublime and the constant run of Mangoni and the two Richards and Waters through the 2

middle overhauled and created a break that the Tigers held on to. It was tight but in the end, but that wasn’t good enough for the Blues who need to catch 20% on St Bernards this week to produce the miracle of the Snakepit.

St Bernards may have checked the quarter time scores at University then flung into gear in the second term at Dairy Bell to head De La Salle at the half. However De La Salle with more energy after their barnstorming win over Collegians and the priority of celebrating Tom Moloney’s 200th game found another gear. The win against the Bernies might be small consolation for their costly loss at the Snakepit earlier in the year, however knowing a few of the De La Salle faithful, it is still a bitter pill to swallow missing finals in 2013.

Collegians might have also cast a nervous eye at the University Oval scoreline as each Old Scotch goal was eating into their percentage. The ability to beat Blacks twice in 2013 is even more significant for the Lions considering their record against other teams. Old Scotch have taken full advantage of their rise and Collegians fall as the Cardinals collected dual wins over the men in purple for the first time in a while. Passador added another 6 to his 7 goals a week prior and it’s great to see Max Van Den Broek back playing well. With Eva and Jamieson rested and Neaves, Gilbee and a few others to return Scotch are building at the right time.

Old Carey’s year is just one of those which you put away and confine to history. They have learnt a lot about themselves and have blooded an incredible amount of youngsters but it doesn’t make a third successive 100 point defeat any easier to swallow.

Jubilant on the back of winning the crunch game against Blues, Beaumaris played with incredible freedom. Gillespie Buckley and Turner all got in on the act and Murton kicked another contender of goal of the week. Harley was Carey’s only goal kicker on a day they would rather forget.

For game notes and match information — email details by 5pm Sunday Uni Blacks took on Xavs at Toorak Park and the form line suggested this should be a comfortable Old Xavs win. Whilst that is what it ended up being, most onlookers were keen to see if the high flying Blacks could re-produce another win against Old Xaverians. Xavs turned it on in the second quarter to open up a game winning margin. Whilst Blacks countered in the last reducing the deficit to 11 points, Xavs had plenty of unspent tickets to cash in on when needed. Marcus Allan with new shorn locks and Jake Williams with lighting speed and David Sapuppo with reliable taps were all excellent – it seemed like that the team game of Blacks is missing a something or perhaps someone. Blacks

have only one twice since Round 10, losing four and drawing once. Their training facilities and conditions can’t help but the team is limping into September. They need a spark.

It’s the last round of the year for 6 clubs. To those who depart now, thank you for your contributions this year. I along with many others wish Old Carey the best in their endeavours to bounce back and given Blues’ history it’s hard to not see them returning to Premier sometime soon.

TOO CLOSE TO CALL Amidst a week plagued by controversy in the AFL, it’s important to remember the core reasons why we play, support, coach and volunteer in the sport of football. Organised sport provides an opportunity for people to remain fit and healthy, socialise with one another in a safe environment, allow passionate football fanatics to satisfy their competitive urges every weekend and fundamentally deliver a sense of belonging to a vast amount of people in our community. You need to look no further than the crowd at your local final this weekend to see football’s ability to align people from all walks of life.

Both the finals and relegation battles were unchanged as a result of Round 18 encounters, with the order of ladder remaining completely unchanged from the start of the round. Old Trinity finished the season as the minor premiers, boasting a 15-3 win-loss record that kept them one game clear of 2nd and 3rd placed Old Brighton and Old Melburnians, who each finished with 14 wins.

St Kevin’s ended the regular season in 4th place with 12 wins. AJAX rallied hard all year battling injuries and absences to key players to finish in 5th, two places out of the four. Old Haileybury, Fitzroy and Caulfield Grammarians rounded out the remaining safe positions on the ladder, with the most promising finish to the season coming from a developing Fitzroy squad. Parkdale and Werribee will take their talents to Premier C next season, both falling agonisingly short of the safe zone one win away from Caulfield. The two sides can attribute their low finish to slumps at different stages of the year, as Parkdale won only one of its last 14 fixtures and Werribee failed to register a win until round 9.

In the last round of the season, Old Trinity defeated St Kevins by 26 points at Daley Oval. St Kevins got the jump on the Trinners in the contest to lead by 20 at the end of the first term, but a flurry of 3 quick 2nd quarter goals from the Trinners took the wind from SKOBs sails and allowed Trinity back into the contest. Both sides will be able to take positives from the game into this week’s finals.

At Gary Smorgon Oval, an inspired performance 4

from David Fayman was a factor in AJAX’s 76 point drubbing of the Caulfield Grammarians. Fayman booted 9 in the contest (8 in a second half clinic) to provide a shock upset in the leading goal kicker race, defeating Old Brighton’s Mentiplay and Anthony by 1 goal despite missing a chunk of games throughout the season. The Jackas will be left to ponder what could have been during the offseason with five close losses throughout the year.

The Old Melburnians spoiled the party in Fitzroy’s return to the Junction Oval, overcoming the Roys by 54 points. Fitzroy took it up to the Melburnians early in the contest to lead at the end of the first term, but OMs controlled play from that point on to ease to victory. Melburnian’s will be looking to capitalise on this momentum in their clash with St Kevin’s this week.

Old Haileybury suffered a 107 point demolition at the hands of Old Brighton at Princes Park. The Haileyburian’s were dominated right across the park, allowing easy forward entries to Brighton’s unrelenting forwards. Brighton had six multiple goal kickers in the clash, proving they are more than happy to share the load going forward.

In the final game of the round, Werribee finished their season strongly with a 26 point win over Parkdale Vultures at Soldiers Reserve. Parkdale had an opportunity to stay in Premier B next season with a big win over the Tigers but were unable to contain a solid outing from Harrington who booted four and Dean who led well all day. It was the second time that the Tigers had defeated Parkdale this year.

Section. In the team’s two prior meetings this year, the home side has prevailed. Old Brighton won the first contest by 27 points at Brighton Beach Oval, while the Trinners took the second game by 48 points at Daley Oval. The game will be won and lost in the middle of the ground, where Brighton will be hoping to neutralise the influence of Old Trinity’s gun midfielders. If Brighton can break even in the guts, it should give spearhead forwards Anthony and Mentiplay the opportunity to have an impact and break the game open.

Old Melburnians got the better of St Kevins in a Wednesday night clash held at Sportscover Arena in round 8 by 14 points, while St Kevins overcame OMs by 6 points in a gritty affair at TH King Oval 2 weeks ago.

PREMIER C

@ wrkreed

CRACKING CASEY CONTESTS AWAIT Like a sandwich with a great filling but dodgy bread, Mazenod have book-ended a 16 game winning streak with losses in the first and last rounds after succumbing to an enigmatic PEGS outfit by two goals at Keilor Park. The result must leave PEGS followers shaking their heads as they’ve won 3 of 4 games against the top two, yet aren’t playing finals. For the Nodders, while they were due for a loss they would certainly be hoping to rebound quickly before their 2nd semi final with Marcellin on Saturday. At the bottom end of the ladder, Old Camberwell were able to celebrate staying up in Premier C despite not saluting against Oakleigh in Jordan Heffernan’s 300th as Banyule went down to a hungry Old Ivanhoe. Banyule must call upon some good off-season fortune as Monash Blues got last year otherwise they’re back to Division 1.

PEGS finished on a great note, with a win over the all-conquering Nodders. However again it is a case of ‘what if?’ after finishing 5th for the second year running. The Bombers are looking for a new senior coach with Trent Cummings vacating the role. Whoever they select will inherit a talented list should they retain key performers such as the Jones brothers, Livori, Williams, Baddeley and Forrest, with finals the aim next year. B&F tip: Brad Jones.

OAKLEIGH have had some sort of year. After copping routine beltings for the first 5 weeks, they parted with Coach Martin Stillman, then won 6 of their last 9 games to remarkably finish 6th. Injuries plagued the Krushers for much of the year but the silver lining is they’ve blooded plenty of youngsters and they’ll look to the likes of Ioannidis and Valentini to become leaders in 2014. B&F tip: Aisea Valentini PENINSULA were ecstatic after surviving a tough initiation to Premier C in 2013. Unafraid of a bit of niggle, the Pirates brought a physical brand of football which, if maintained, should see them remain competitive next year under a new coach with Brett McIlwraith leaving. B&F tip: Harry Whitty OLD CAMBERWELL’s season never hit any great heights as injuries led to them using the most players of any Premier C team (52). The Wellers 6

have reason to believe that 2014 will be better than this year’s struggle with the emergence of Tom Allwright as a key player and the promising form of Damien McGuigan and Ben Hart. B&F tip: Ben Hart BANYULE were the ‘Bad News Bears’ in midseason, with 8 consecutive losses leading to an eventual 9th placed finish. Their position belied their talent however, and if they can recruit well in the off season - with a key tall forward a particular need – they’ll be every chance of making a quick return to Premier C. B&F tip: Jake Truefeldt NOBS-ST PATS endured a season on struggle street, with only a solitary win over Oakleigh to show for their work. Richard Peoples’ departure as Senior Coach may herald the dawn of a new era at the Nobbers in Division 1 next year with recruitment expected to be a big focus as several veterans consider their playing futures. B&F tip: Matt Keown

2ND SEMI FINAL PREVIEW Since winning the B section premiership in 2000, Mazenod have given ground in the VAFA, as have their opponents Marcellin who took the Premier B flag in 2008. For one of these proud clubs, the chance to go forward finally presents itself at Casey Fields on Saturday. You only need to go back 12 months for their last finals battle, an epic one-point win to the Nodders, which may add incentive for the Eagles to extract revenge.

Mazenod’s season has been the more impressive of the two but their last round loss to PEGS may have thrown a psychological spanner in the works.

Full Back Steve Oldman and Half Back flanker Ben Phibbs were missing from the Nodders lineup last week so expect them to return if fit. Marcellin are on a roll having won their last six and will be confident of a stirring win here. The most pivotal battle will be between the Eagles forwards of Jones, Bortolotto and Millsom against the Nodders water-tight defence led by Oldman, Patti PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 66 / 73%) Mazenod v Marcellin Old Ivanhoe v Monash Blues

and Wilson. If the Eagles can get on top in their half, they’re every chance, but if the Nodders play as they have all year they should get the job done.

1ST SEMI FINAL PREVIEW This is a clash between two clubs who have turned their fortunes around in 2013. Last year Old Ivanhoe were ravaged by a series of youngsters being poached, but they have brushed aside that relegation and have had great success in their first season in Premier C for 17 years. Monash Blues have been the Cinderella story going from being nominally relegated in 2012 to being finalists in 2013. Could they complete the story and win promotion after their slice of good fortune?

Monash Blues haven’t been able to string two wins together since winning their first 8 straight.

PREMIER C

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

This pattern doesn’t bode well for them as they won by 54 points last week against Peninsula without key midfielder Andrew Young, who should slot back into the side barring injury.

Old Ivanhoe were in ominous form last week, smashing Banyule by 85 points as they welcomed back Chris Johnson from injury but missed the services of Hayden and Dean Heta, who should return this week perhaps with Nick Butler. The Hoers beat the Ashes under a month ago at Pine Lodge through pressuring the visitors into turnovers while the Heta brothers dominated.

Ultimately, Monash must win the contested ball and at least break even with the Hoers powerful key position players to win this one. They’ve been brave but perhaps this will be a bridge too far.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FIRST PREMIERS OF 2013 Richmond Central, Hawthorn and Old Xaverians have won the first flags of 2013 in last Sunday’s Club XVIII Grand Finals. Good crowds for all three Grand Finals filtered in and out of Sportscover Arena all Sunday to see the three matches. The day was significant for all three premiership winners.

Richmond Central won their second flag in Club XVIII and their first since 1989 whilst Hawthorn Spartans won their first ever Club XVIII Premiership.

Old Xaverians Crocs side managed to claim their 19th flag from 30 seasons competing in Club XVIII’s, a magnificent achievement.

FITZROY BACK AT THE JUNCTION OVAL

Applications are invited for the position of Senior Coach at Old Haileyburians’ Amateur Football Club.

Kevin Murray was one of the many famous Fitzroy spectators that appeared at the Junction Oval last week as part of the much publicised return of the Roys to the Junction Oval for their round 18 Premier B match against Old Melburnians. Old Melburnians were equally keen to recognise the significance of the return of the Roys to their former home ground in the VFL days. Murray addressed the luncheon before the game with his Fitzroy scarf on then joined a large throng of Fitzroy supporters in the outer to see if they could upset the finals bound OMs. Journalist Paul Daffey wrote a great piece in the Sunday Age last week about Fitzroy’s return to the Junction Oval that is worth a read if you can dig it up. Whilst the Roys were on top early, they fell away to eventually lose a match with little riding on it for both sides. Fitzroy had secured another season in Premier B a few weeks ago and with such a latent supporter base it won’t be long before this club will be fighting for a berth in the top section.

SPONSORSORING HAWTHORN SPARTANS

It was a case of third time luck for Hawthorn Spartans who secured their first Club XVIII premiership last Sunday. The Spartans held off a spirited Ormond and avoided the disappointment of the previous two years of falling short on the final day. We liked the new initiative of the Spartans Football Manager George Demetriou who was quick to hand out the sponsor’s caps to all the players before they went onto the dais to get their premiership medallions.

In fact there were sponsors caps from the clubs two major sponsors with the team posing for the ‘Premiership Winners’ shot twice with the two different caps on. As George so eloquently put it: “It’s the least we can do, without the sponsors we do not have a club, the success is theirs too.” It does raise the question of how many more clubs will follow suit in the next few weeks.

MEN AT WORK

Last Sunday a substantial number of Yarra Valley Old Boys players and coaching staff gave up their Sunday to work at the Scope Accommodation facility in Ringwood. They spent the day landscaping, painting and improving the place like an episode of the Block (minus young girls in shorts). Scope is a not for profit

organisation providing disability services in Victoria. The initiative was purely something that the playing group wanted to do to give back to the community. Congratulations to all involved.

Everyone at the Bushrangers reported that they enjoyed the experience immensely and felt a real sense of satisfaction.

END OF SEASON – REASONS TO CELEBRATE Mad Monday celebrations and Silly Sunday sessions all kicked off last week with clubs out of finals contention getting into the spirit of celebrating their seasons in a positive way. Happily there has been no trouble to report, but some of the more appealing stories have come from South Melbourne Districts and Oakleigh. They Districts held their silly Sunday at their swish new club rooms with everyone getting dressed up, but we particularly like coach Anthony Quon got right into the spirit of things coming as Andy from Little Britain (pictured).

Whilst at Oakleigh Mad Monday was celebrated all the more so given the team managed to snare the quaddie at Warnambool that paid an impressive $4720. Whether they used the funds on Monday or they held them off to kick them into the Footy trip is yet to be determined. The boys from Oakleigh celebrated their resurgence on mad Monday by collecting the Quaddie at Warrnambool on Monday that paid $4720 12

ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW…

CENTURIONS!

That Oakleigh Amateur Football Club were very appreciative of the accommodating manner in which Old Camberwell Football Club helped one of their injured footballers in the senior match last week. Steve Buchanan broke his leg in 3 places in a very painful injury and Oakleigh wrote into VAFA HQ to express their gratitude to all at Old Camberwell. “The true spirit of the VAFA came to the fore and all our members and supporters who were present at the game witnessed first hand the out-pouring of help from Old Camberwell” said the club.

Aaron Cloke (U19 South) and Mitch Sweeney (Div 3 Reserves) both brought up their century of goals last Saturday afternoon. Both managed it just in time to achieve the milestone within the home and away season. Cloke needed 14 to get there and he managed it with his 14th and final goal of the game before he promptly moved himself to centre half-back. Sweeney reached the milestone with his 8th of 9 goals. Both players comfortably won the Sherrin Sharpshooters goal kicking titles in their sections and both are keen to see that their sides have success in the coming finals series.

DIVISION 1

SEASON ENDING SWITCH It took the full 18 rounds but the Division 1 top four has finally settled. Prahran Assumption jumped Whitefriars in the last game of the regular season to take fourth position, placing the Two Blues in the four for the first time since round 10, the only change to the finals fixture throughout the VAFA. Prahran Assumption earned a healthy victory over Old Geelong leaving their finals hopes in the hands of top ranked Hampton Rovers who delivered the goods by defeating Whitefriars. Across the section fellow finalists Ormond and Williamstown CYMS had comfortable victories over their now relegated opponents while Old Mentonians ended their campaign on a high, defeating Bulleen Templestowe at home.

Hampton Rovers made a fair-weather friend in Prahran Assumption this week, as they defeated their fourth spot competitor Whitefriars by 56-points, opening the door for the Two Blues to snatch the remaining finals slot. Whitefriars could kiss finals goodbye midway through the third quarter as Rovers booted their way to a 50-point lead and eased their way to victory. Rory Lynch once again proved himself to be the top defender in the competition, taking another big scalp to earn his side the victory. Jean Daou managed two goals in the loss to end with 61 goals for the year and a share in the section’s goal kicking award.

Prahran Assumption travelled to Como Park to face a surging Old Geelong, who had knocked off three of the four finals competitors. Old Geelong remained within touching distance throughout the first three quarters but a defiant Prahran Assumption finished the contest by kicking seven goals in the last to defeat the OG’s by the same margin of 56-points.

Bulleen Templestowe held onto their spot in Division 1 for 2014 but lost the round 18 matchup against Old Mentonians who were also playing for pride in their final game of the season. After a poor first half, OMFC turned a 15-point deficit into an eight point advantage with seven goals straight in the third quarter. Old Mentonians managed another four goals in the fourth quarter to end proceedings in a 26-point win. Ben Robertson 16

put the Panthers on his shoulders as he carried his side to victory, kicking 10 of 16 goals and tied the Division leading goal kicking in the process with 61 goals for the year.

Both relegation-bound sides, MHSOB and Glen Eira ended their Division 1 stay on a sour note as the two were steamrolled by considerable margins. The injury-depleted Unicorns were outclassed on every spectrum as Ormond carried on their promising form to make light work of their opponents. Matt Robbins kicked five goals in the 99-point victory for the Monders. Williamstown CYMS followed the lead of their possible finals opponent, breezing past their lacklustre competition. The CY’s had 15 of their 22 players kick a goal in the final game against Glen Eira, with a total of 33 goals for the match, delivering the Saints their worst loss for the season. Matthew John (6) and Jack Gray (5) were on the receiving end of most opportunities in the 197-point win. The result capped off what has been a tumultuous year for Glen Eira, finishing the season winless as the 2014 campaign cannot come sooner.

2ND SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW On Saturday Hampton Rovers play Williamstown CYMS at Trevor Barker Oval in Sandringham, for the Rovers, it’s a 10 minute stroll, for the CY’s and their supporters they’ll need to muster up a lot more than their walking shoes. Hampton has been an undoubted favourite throughout the season while their opponents, Williamstown after a shaky first four rounds, quickly recovered and solidified themselves as a premiership contender, being one of two sides to beat the Rovers this year. The matchups will be the key in the double chance final, as these two combined for 8 plaers from the team of the year. The Rovers’ rock solid defence with the combination of Rory Lynch and Jesse Lovig will be at the forefront of these matchups, as they confront the Gray brothers. The CY’s full throttle attacking nature, should see this be a DIVISION 1 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 62 / 69%) Hampton Rovers v Williamstown CYMS Ormond v Prahran Assumption

real arm-wrestle for ascendancy. Stephen Puhar could be what separates the two classy midfields, having dominated aerial contests throughout the year while Hampton’s forward Daniel Corp has the ability to break the game wide open, leaving us with many differing possibilities. Hampton secured finals placement months ago and appeas to have peaked at the opportune time, predicting Rovers to win by 30.

1ST SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW Ormond verse Prahran Assumption drew the Sunday 2:10pm timeslot for their elimination matchup at Trevor Barker Oval, which will draw plenty of curious onlookers, none more so than the team left licking their wounds from the second semi. In their two previous matchups Ormond and Prahran Assumption have won one apiece, with the last meeting occurring only a fortnight ago. Prahran Assumption got the chocolates that time, holding onto win by 13-points at home. The

DIVISION 1

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

final will be decided in the middle with both side’s strengths being their multiple star midfielders with Matt Wall and Daniel Haysom being crucial to their respective chances. Wall continued his stellar year last week with another two goals from the midfield, while Haysom has been somewhat blanketed as of late. The Two Blues cannot afford to let him run freely after his best on ground performance in their first bout. Ormond’s second half of the season has proved them to be possibly the in-form team in the division but Prahran Assumption’s ability to perform in clutch moments makes me think twice about an impromptu decision. With that being said, expect Ormond to be too much for Prahran Assumption to surpass. Ormond win by 18.

DIVISION 2

Brenton Mann

@BrentyMann

A BUSHRANGER, A LION, A TURTLE OR A SAINT? After ten months of hard work, from the planning and optimism over the summer months, to the rollercoaster that was the home and away season, we are at the finish line of what football clubs strive for. In the next three weeks, four clubs will hope to see the fruits of their labour result in premiership glory. Somewhat unfairly, the achievements and events of the past 18 weeks pale into insignificance to what lies ahead. The tempo and intensity of that finals football brings cannot be replicated on the training track, coaches and players hope they can withstand the onslaught, absorb the pressure, embrace the atmosphere and rise to the challenge.

ROUND 18 REVIEW The evenness of Division 2 was again highlighted in the final home and away round for 2013. It was vital for Monash Gryphons to beat cellar dweller Emmaus St Leos to avoid relegation and many including myself backed them to do so.

The Animals had other ideas. They not only beat the Gryphons, but put them to the sword by 64 points. The Two Blues well and truly “saved the best for last”. Old Paradians claimed the bragging rights over South Melbourne and recorded a 28 point win at home. Even though the Raiders finished the year in 6th spot, they will view 2013 as a disappointment. Thrilling wins have been accompanied by dismal performances, their best and worst seeming poles apart. South Melbourne on the other hand will give themselves a pass mark for 2013. Seen internally as a development year for the Districts, avoiding relegation and finishing the year with seven wins is a handy return and will be used as a the benchmark for improvement in 2014.

St Johns ended their 2013 campaign with a resounding 61 point win over top four-side Old Eltham. In a season of “could have beens” for the JOCs this was one of their best performances for the year. With victories over three of the top four sides this year, 2014 looms as the year St Johns must stake their claim. Ivanhoe blew a big sigh of relief when Monash failed to get over Emmaus St Leos. It handed Ivanhoe a “get out of jail free card” 18

and had them avoid relegation. Ivanhoe were demoralised by a barn-storming Therry Penola and “Mad Monday” could not have come quick enough to mark the end of a disappointing 2013 campaign.

Finally Yarra Valley disposed of fourth placed St Mary’s Salesian with ease, and gave the Saints a glimpse of what it takes to match it with the best.

FINALS PREVIEW The Division 2 heavyweights Therry Penola and Yarra Valley flexed their muscles on Saturday, both recording 100+ point wins. They face off this Saturday at Bill Lawry Oval in the 2nd Semi Final with the winner progressing straight through to the Grand Final – not forgetting promotion too.

The two last met in round 17 with Yarra Valley prevailing at home by 15 points. The Bushrangers are the form side of the section and may hold the slight mental edge heading into this encounter.

Both sides are on par when it comes to individual talent across the ground and the game will hinge on the midfield battle. Yarra Valley has the edge in the ruck, with James Amos in tremendous form, providing brother Ryan, and the other Yarra midfielders first use at the stoppages. Therry Penola though has the class in the key posts. Jarrod Egglestone and the Bannister brothers will have given Rob Drew and the Bushrangers coaching staff many sleepless nights. Jarrod and Corey Bannister have combined for a total of 154 goals this year and are both models of consistency. Given they are siblings they have a great understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses. They very rarely get in each other’s way and have a great knack of separating and isolating defenders.

If Therry can orchestrate enough one-on-ones and the Bannisters get enough supply, they will be extremely hard to stop.

The 1st Semi Final sees Old Eltham taking on St Mary’s Salesian and both sides were dealt a bit of a reality check last Saturday. It was not ideal preparation for either side coming into the finals.

The Saints were humbled by a Bushrangers side that is running on top of the ground, as they got a THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

dose of the pressure that will confront them in the next few weeks.

An injury depleted Old Eltham was smacked by St Johns to the tune of 61 points and unfortunately for the Turtles they did not come out of the game unscathed. After such an impressive start to the season the Turtles’ form has been a little patchy but with key players rested/managed during the week, a return to form is needed in this elimination final.

St Mary’s Salesian are in better shape on the injury front, but after last Saturday have some kinks to iron out before they are considered a genuine threat to the top two. The Saints play a contested style of footy and have the bigger bodies around

the stoppages, which are key come finals time.

Their Achilles heel is that they can be opened up on the rebound and on the larger grounds. They put pay to these fears somewhat with their win against Old Eltham at home a couple of weeks ago with the win will giving them confidence going into this game. Both sides’ seasons have somewhat paralleled and the side that brings the greater mental attitude will undoubtedly progress to next week.

@balmey21

IF I RULED THE WORLD (IMAGINE THAT) This is it, ladies and gentlemen! Finals footy. The smell of cut grass and unparalleled excitement has arrived. I will cut my weekly spiel short and keep the match reports brief because finals footy deserves every ounce of our fleeting attention spans.

On the very sloppy Citation Oval, Kew finished South Mornington’s season with a dominant 55 point win. The conditions suited the old school hard nut, namely Kade Woodruff of South Mornington who showcased his toughness and kept the Tigers in the contest for a lot longer than Kew would have anticipated. Despite the competitiveness of the Tigers, Kew staved off each challenge with excellent performances from Jeremy Fultheim and Darcy Spencer through the middle.

Richmond Central also faced the tireless Power House who again competed very well with a quality side. Woody Bucci slotted another 4 and Joel Carter was outstanding for the Snakes whilst Ricky Webb again produced another very good performance for Power House. As I have reiterated throughout the season, Power House is a stalwart of the VAFA and they’ve improved dramatically from the torrid 2012 season so the expectation is that they will continue to develop in 2014.

Albert Park nearly created a boil over in the lead up to finals footy, going down to UHS-VU by 3 points despite having 7 more scoring shots.

Albert Park was left rueing their wasteful goal kicking that cost them a winning end to their season. Daniel Lyne was the standout for the Falcons with 6 goals shared between Forte and Cattle. However, the return of key forward Rhys Kirk in combination with the imposing Tom O’Halloran was enough to inspire a hard fought UHS-VU victory.

A goalless first half from La Trobe reflected a consolidated defensive effort from the under siege St Francis Xavier, clearly smarting from their Round 17 loss to Power House. La Trobe had plenty to play for but could not convert on the scoreboard, trailing by far too much at half time to have any realistic hope of getting back into the contest. Chris Smith and Dwayne Scott put on an exhibition that would have been referred to as ‘bellazzo sobria’ if it was put on a Milan runway.

Aquinas secured a place in the top 6 with a 23 point victory over Swinburne as Sam Williams and Jackson Manning both kicked 6 for their respective sides. Danny Manning collaborated with his brother, claiming the BOG honours for Swinburne however his efforts could not wrestle away the desperation of the Bloods who have regained the services of key trio Callum Cormack, Jack Price and big Jai Perrett.

Elsternwick cruised to a 101 point win over the now officially winless Warriors, with Aaron Thornton wrapping up the leading goalkicker honours with another 6 to his name. Craig Mahony dominated for the ‘Wick and Justin Hunter made an impressive return to the side since his ankle injury. Harley Tuncliffe kicked 3 for Old Westbourne, as their rebuild begins.

WEEK 1 OF FINALS PREVIEW: Kew (1st) v Aquinas (6th) The rivalry continues with another instalment of two impressive young sides. Aquinas had a tumultuous start to their season with injuries, travel plans and bad form interrupting what many considered to be the year of the Bloods.

Despite this, Williams has booted 59 goals, Jurkovsky has become one of the best mids in the competition and a host of big inclusions have slowly come back into the side including key forward Jai Perrett and small forward Jack Price. They face the minor premiers Kew, who have made major inroads since last season when they were knocked out in the Elimination Final

by Aquinas. Alike Williams, Brazzale has had an excellent season kicking 60 goals, supported ably by Tim Allman with 39 goals. Their midfield is young yet extremely talented and will be up for the challenge. This shapes as the Willie Bee Match of the first week of the finals for a multitude of reasons. Aquinas will enjoy the underdog tag and so will the crowd. Kew by 7 points.

UHS-VU (2nd) v Richmond Central (5th) Richmond Central went into their game against Kew during the middle of the season and would have been outright top had the result gone the other way. From that point on, their season spluttered and they lost as many games as they won. Yet, their victory over Elsternwick two weeks DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 76 / 70%) Kew v Aquinas UHS-VU v Richmond Central Elsternwick v St Francis Xavier

For game notes and match information — email details by 5pm Sunday ago displayed strength. They are an impressive attacking unit and they hold plenty of capable goal kickers including Luke Carland, Woody Bucci and Sam Demeo. However, their weakness is their defence and UHS-VU bolsters both a strong attack and a terrific defence. The return of Rhys Kirk is hugely important and his brother Asher leads their backline masterfully. The midfield battle again will be tight but I’d expect the run of Fitzclarence, Rowland and Atherton to be too much for the Chinos. UHS-VU by 20 points.

Elsternwick (3rd) v St Francis Xavier (4th) This shapes as another corker as leading goal kicker Aaron Thornton and his crew of Elsternwick cronies take on the Hutchinson medal favourite Dimitri Dimakopolous and the Beaconsfield boys. St Francis Xavier has a daunting record at home this season, losing only one game and drawing another but will play at W.A Scammel Reserve against a side that has

experienced playing a big ground on occasions at Sportscover Arena. However, the beauty of finals is that the very best are not bothered by such variables. ‘Dimma’, Chris Smith, Chris Van Dam and Dwayne Scott are 4 of the best players in the competition and will take stopping. They are up against a side that doesn’t have huge depth but does have plenty of talent. Declan Healy holds plenty of big scalps this season and with a quality forward line and line breakers such as Andrew Oldfield in the mix, they’ll be hard to stop. A toss of the coin. Elsternwick by 4 points.

AND THEN THERE WERE SIX...

The home and away season is done and dusted, and after 18 rounds of terrific footy, the finals are upon us. Hawthorn sealed top spot with a huge win over Box Hill North, meaning they will play the Northern Blues in the first week of the finals. Eley Park set up a first final against North Brunswick with a scrappy win over Mt Lilydale, while Point Cook and West Brunswick head into their finals clash after good wins. Meanwhile, season 2014 awaits for Manningham, Box Hill North, Mt Lilydale, Chadstone and the Dragons, who should be back bigger and better next year.

North Brunswick produced a good performance before their first final, with a 96 point victory over battlers Mannigham. The Cobras struggled to contain the Bulls midfield and big forwards.

Patrick Notaro bagged seven in the win, while Santacroce and Gagliano pocketed five and four goals respectively. The Bulls total of 25 goals shows their potency with all their keys in good goal-scoring form heading into this week.

Scott McPherson was again very good across a number of positions for the Cobras, who after disappointing end to a season of few highs, preseason cannot come sooner.

Daniel Penny confirmed his status as the competitions best goal kicker - taking his seasons tally to 72, an outstanding feat in a struggling side - with another seven goals in his side’s loss to the Hawks. Box Hill North were no match for a Hawks side who confirmed their place on top of the ladder. The Hawks were at their ruthless best, dominating the midfield and offering plenty of drive off half back to attack at every opportunity.

Premiership favourites in the eyes of most neutral observers, a huge finals series awaits for the Hawks who will have some hungry challengers ready to knock them off their pedestal.

Mt Lilydale finished off a disappointing season in promising fashion, pushing Eley Park all the way in a gutsy 19 point loss. The Sharks were made to work for the win at the Mercy Colllege Oval, with the home side keen on restoring some pride

before the season was out. Viola was the best player on the ground, kicking three goals up forward for the Sharks. A premiership is not out of reach for Eley Park, should they be at their brilliant best during the finals. It was a honourbale loss for Mt Lilydale who have struggled against the sides above them this year and we shall see if they can turn it around in season 2014.

Point Cook piled on more misery for the Dragons who ended the year in a disappointing fashion, with the Dogs running away with a 65 point win.

Fourth place is a just reward for the Dogs, who will be intent on going that one step further in 2013, with an appearance in the Grand Final not beyond them. Munn, Arichibald, and Smith all snared three goals in the victory, while Percival was the best player on the ground. For the Dragons, who started the season so promisingly, another preseason will do the world of good for a side who struggled in their first season in the VAFA. The clash between the Northern Blues and West Brunswick served as a perfect finals tune-up for both sides, with the third placed West Brunswick prevailing by 27 points. The Blues were severely undermanned, with several players carrying niggling injuries withdrawn from the team, while key tall Liam Carter rolled his ankle in the second quarter. West Brunswick got the jump on the Blues away from home, dominating at the stoppages and attacking from defence in a way that saw them pile on early scoreboard pressure. There was a brief glimpse of hope for the Blues who would mount an electric third quarter comeback, but as good finals sides do, the Pies were able to wrestle the momentum in a dominant last quarter. For West Brunswick, their personnel issues seem to be improving with Richard ‘The Chairman’ Benjamin returning from a mid season holiday to play as a key forward.

A stern make or break final against the Hawks awaits for the Blues, while West Brunswick face off against Point Cook in what promises to be an exciting clash.

The weather has warmed up at the right time and spring is in the air – it must be September!

Although all two of the six Division 4 finalists will not get to play in the month of September with the calendar and finals fixture seeing all three finals played on Saturday 31st at three venues.

The past 18 weeks has Hawthorn, Eley Park and West Brunswick primed for this moment. Point Cook will be the lucky losers to get through to the cut throat Preliminary Finals next week. We will unfortunately bid farewell to the gallant North Brunswick and Northern Blues here.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2013 MICHAEL ITALIA - BANYULE Michael is a Banyule junior who graduated from Under 17’s at the end of last year and has played every senior game this season. Michael’s willingness to listen and adapt his style of play for the betterment of the team has been an outstanding feature of his development and demonstrates his all round ability.

Michael has excellent skills, is very strong overhead and below his knees. He is a great reader of the game and gets to the right spots. He is very good one on one and has kicked a number of important goals at senior level this year. Michael has composure beyond his years and is able to kick crucial goals and be involved in critical plays when his team has needed it.

Michael is very deserving of the Rising Star Nomination and Banyule look forward to him being an integral member of the club for many years to come. * to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1992 and playing his first full season of senior football.

VAFA ELASTOPLAST TRAINER OF THE WEEK JO FOO – MONASH BLUES Monash Blues Football Club has been extremely fortunate in the quality of trainers it has attracted over the years. This continued in 2010 when Jo Foo came to our club help out when several trainers went overseas that year. Like most trainers she was tentative at the start but now, no one at the club could think of the place without her. In something we strongly encourage in all of our training/medical personal, she has taken her job and made it her own and continues to enrich this very important position within the club With her qualification as an Exercise Scientist, her quick learning, sport knowledge and excellent inter-personal skills in 2012, the club decided to promote Jo to be the Senior Team Trainer. Jo now handles both the Senior and Reserves games along with training nights, rosters and all the other duties that go with a job of this importance.

Jo has already agreed to continue in 2014 and hopefully beyond. When she isn’t “doing football” she is studying Physiotherapy at Melbourne University, going to the gym and playing sport.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO: 2008 In A Section it was round 18 and there was plenty riding on more than one game, especially for Old Scotch who faced up to Old Trinity. Although Trinity were headed for B Section and were not expected to win, it was a tighter contest than expected in the last quarter as Trinity kicked 6 goals. With so much at stake, Scotch made sure with 4 goals of their own to win 17.23 to 13.11 to qualify for the first semi-final in a week’s time. Best: Ashton, Armstrong, Dick (3), (OS) and Krakouer, Troon, Ramsden (3) (OT).

The B Section first semi-final was a cracker of a game at Elsternwick Park and despite the wind strongly favouring one end, there was little between Marcellin and Old Haileybury. In a fantastic last quarter, it was Marcellin who won their way into a preliminary final, 14.15 to 13.15.

Best: J Carlson, Bortolotto (5), Montagna (Marcellin) and Voss, Siapantis (4), McLauchlan, (Haileybury).

10 YEARS AGO: 2003 In A Section Old Xaverians went into the final round clear on top in the game against Old Melburnians, who needed to win to make sure of staying in the top section. As often is the case, the threat of relegation brings out the best in teams and this was no exception as OM’s held a three goal lead at half time and increased it to six at the final siren, 13.9 to 7.8. Best: Smith, N Mulquiney, Hazell (OM’s) and Ockleshaw, Ford, Biddlecombe (Xavs).

The Final Series’ edition of ‘The Amateur Footballer’ displayed an excellent photo on the cover of Noel Colin Rundle who had passed away a few months earlier. Noel, for many years the writer of this column, formerly called ‘Looking Back’ under Noel’s care, was one of the greatest contributors to amateur football. A former A Grade premiership player and later a playing coach, Noel had served the VAFA Executive for over 54 years, 40 of these years as Treasurer. Noel was also one of the most significant personalities in the VAFA and one of its strongest promoters. Then VAFA President, Richard Evans, wrote a magnificent tribute to Noel in The Amateur Footballer.

20 YEARS AGO: 1993 In A Section, St Bernards scored a great victory in the final round to avoid relegation when they 42

defeated Collegians 13.10 to 11.11. Collegians had the better of the contest in the first half but St Bernards were outstanding in the second half.

Best: Purcell, Spencer (3), Carey (StB) and Schober (5), Hinchen, Lawson (Coll).

In the B Section first semi-final, University Blues trounced Old Mentonians 20.19 to 11.14. When Mentonians gun forward, Adam Acreman, who had been on fire in the first quarter, left the ground with an injury Mentonians firepower was limited.

Best: Wilson, Stephen, Hutchins (8) (U Blu) and Campbell, Macquire, Dickson (OM).

The Witts brothers combined tally of games for Old Melburnians reached 400 with Andrew (250) and Tony (150). Both had been outstanding performers for their club.

The Amateur Footballer recorded the passing of former Australian Test Captain, Lindsay Hassett who had also been an outstanding VAFA footballer for Geelong Amateurs after a distinguished sporting career at Geelong College. Lindsay won the A Section Best and Fairest in consecutive seasons (1935-36).

30 YEARS AGO: 1983 In the E Section first semi-final, Old Trinity defeated Peninsula Old Boys 18.9 to 13.7. Best: Birrell (5), Borghesi, Maizels, (OT) and Wiltshire, Mannes, Graham (Pen). The second semi saw Thomastown defeat Balaclava 22.12 to 18.15 in a high standard game. Best: Indian, T Fellows, D Fellows, Broderick (7), (Thom) and Burgess, Darvall, Angwin (Bala).

40 YEARS AGO: 1973 AMP Society were too good for Elsternwick in the E Section first semi-final 14.6 to 9.18. Best: Jones, Roulston (5), Miovich, (AMP) and A Ramsay, Schofield, Williams (Elst). Old Ivanhoe won the second semi against Old Camberwell 16.17 to 12.9. Best: R Stevens, Love, Kelsey, (OI) and Stafford, Hughes, Hewitt, (OC).

50 YEARS AGO: 1963 Collegians, in their seventh successive finals’ series appearance, met Old Xaverians in the A Section first semi final. The teams were captained by Brian Powell and John Sanders respectively. Xavs started well and took the early lead but Collegians ran over the top of their opposition to win 15.19 to 9.12. Best: R Walduck, Daff, Johnson (Coll) and Slattery, N Gibson, Wardlaw (Xavs) THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

U19 Premier — Brayden Carey filling in for Olivia Crowe @Liv_Crowe What an interesting end to the by 4. Matthew Panton produced another stellar 2013 H&A season with 3 of the performance with 5 in the loss. The top of the 5 matches won by under a kick. table clash between Old Xaverians and St Bedes/ As finals fever is in the air and Mentone Tigers didn’t live up to the billing as the the best U19s footballers are Xavs boys had a day out, the Tigers struggled to about to strut their stuff. Old generate scoreboard pressure. Old Brighton ended Scotch and De La Salle battled it out for hollow their season successfully, claiming their first victory prize of 5th spot. De La led all game, but a great of 2013 away at University Blues, as Tim Burncomeback from the Scotchies reduced the margin Francis led the way with 2. to a 5 point defeat with De La’s James Howard Finals bound St Kevins and St Bernards produced kicking 5. a close encounter as the Skobbers prevailed in Despite a slow start, Old Melburnians fought back preview of the 1st semi. All finalists are repeats of hard against Beaumaris but couldn’t claim victory last week’s matches and we all know how finals on their home turf with the Sharks stealing the win football is a different game.

U19 Section 2 with Lewis Emmerson Caulfield Grammarians triumphed over University Blacks by 20 points.

Caulfield’s Damien Simic kicked 9 goals to finish his season with a bang. Braden Poole was best afield for University Blacks.

Collegians have sent an ominous warning to the other finals sides with their 10-goal thumping of ladder leaders Fitzroy. Josh Sawyer played his best game for the year while Sam Hibbins was on fire for Collegians bagging 7.

Werribee held on to a 3-point victory despite Parkdale storming home in the final ten minutes. Werribee’s Patrick

O’Brien slotted 3 in a crafty display. Mac O’Donnell was skilful while rotating through the Vultures midfield.

Mazenod survived a late scare from Old Trinity to win by 3 points. Old Trinity will be bitterly disappointed with their second half of the season. Mazenod’s Josh Trounce dominated while Alex Heuston nailed 4 goals for Old Trinity.Marcellin and Old Carey played out the first draw for the year in the final round of the season. Marcellin’s Josh Edwards was solid, contributing 4 goals while Old Carey’s Mitchell Nixon was a vital cog.

Parkdale host Collegians in an elimination final while Fitzroy host Werribee for a spot in the Grand Final.

U19 Section 3 with Darren Dawson —

Any doubts about Northern Blues being the real deal this season were well and truly laid to rest at Fearon Reserve last week. Held to a goalless first term, the Blues piled on 7 and 6 in the next two quarters and ended up thrashing Williamstown by 62 points. Hammoud and Delle-Virgini booted four apiece, it was a powerful display that will have all finals opponents scratching their heads, wondering if they can find that next gear to match this impressive outfit. The CYs, who will doubtless be licking their wounds, lost their precious double-chance in the process.

@LewisEmmerson

@smokiedawson

In an arm-wrestle between two finals-bound teams, AJAX prevailed over the Friars. Not much separates these two, so I would expect an excellent finals match-up should they meet in the coming weeks.

Old Geelong confirmed their improvement in recent weeks by pummelling PEGS. The Oggers were led to a 20-goal win by Jock Grimshaw, who booted 8. Old Camberwell were never threatened by Old Xaverians, and posted a comfortable 3-goal win.

TODAY: Both semi-finals should be tough encounters, but I expect Northern Blues, to be too strong for AJAX, whilst Williamstown’s homeground advantage will be a huge advantage when Whitefriars visit.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

U19 North with Nick Duxson @nicholasjduxson

Finally the business end of the season is upon us.

Cross-town rivals Old Ivanhoe and Ivanhoe will meet in a qualifying final at Chelsworth Park, with the winner gaining direct entry into the decider. These two sides have only met once in 2013, with the ‘Hoers earning a 25-point win over the Magpies at the same venue.

Old Ivanhoe are fresh off a convincing 11-goal win against Therry Penola, with half the team getting on the scoreboard. Confidence won’t be an issue for the Ivanhoe boys either, as they beat Old Paradians by a similar margin – Zagontinous

kicking five.

In the elimination final, St Mary’s Salesian host Therry Penola at Ferndale Park, and neither side will want to bow out early. The Saints were the early front-runners, but they’ve slipped back into the pack in the second half of the season.

Both sides will be relatively confident, with the ledger standing at one-all. Team of the Year fullforward Holmes kicked 12, as the Saints tuned up for finals with a 120-point win – while the Lions will be looking to bounce back quickly from defeat last weekend.

Entry to the first week of U19 North finals is free so get along and support your club

U19 South with Nick Duxson @nicholasjduxson

In the South section, Beaumaris made certain of a finals berth with a six-goal win against the second placed Tigers.

Four goals from Sam Chamberlain now means the Sharks will take on Old Mentonians, in an elimination final at Mentone Grammar.

Both sides have a win against their opposite number, and while OMs have been inconsistent over the past month, Beaumaris haven’t lost for five weeks. In the battle for direct entry into the Grand Final, it’s hard to look past the Krushers.

Oakleigh have been the dominant team all season, and St Bedes Mentone Tigers will have their work cut out.

UNDER 19 Premier (YEARS TOTAL 64 / 71%) Old Xaverians v St Bedes/Mentone Tigers St Kevins v St Bernards

The Tigers will take confidence from being just one of two teams to have recorded a win against the ladder leaders this year, but that was all the way back in Round Two. Both sides will have the belief – the Tigers winning six of their past seven, and the Krushers coming off three consecutive wins by 12 or more goals.

Aaron Cloke brought up his century last Saturday afternoon with his 14th goal against Monash, while St Bedes Mentone Tigers will be looking to bounce back quickly from defeat against the Sharks – Kinsey and Bichsel their best.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallagher

FINALS TIME Congratulations to all teams playing off in this year’s final series. May the goals that were set earlier in the year come to fruition. To the umpires who are running, if you get one final or three, well done on your great year. Not all umpires will be running in these last few weeks and we thank you guys for all your hard efforts through the year.

Come back next year and give it your all!!

AND THE WINNER IS????

Last Monday the umpires had their night of nights with the Pre-finals Dinner at the MCG. What a fantastic night for all the umpires and invited guests. To our award winners, congratulations: Golden Whistle Award.

Most improved Boundary Umpire Award.

@VAFAUA

is presented to a first year umpire who has natural umpiring ability, a desire to learn and a commitment to the umpiring group. In 2013 awarded to Asha Hinton.

Andy Carrick Award. This award is named in honour of Mr Andy Carrick who lost his battle with cancer in 2001. Andy was a likeable larrikin who umpired many games in the VAFA. Although Andy did not umpire in the higher sections, he was still a valuable contributor to the VAFA Umpires Association. In 2013 awarded to Paul Jones. Bob Dunstan Award. This award is named in honour of Mr Robert Dunstan OAM who is a Life Member of the VAFA Umpires Association and umpired over 800 games in the VAFA. In 2013 awarded to Darren Dalgleish.

10 Year Service Award were presented to Damien Anthony, Jamie Gunn, Julian Maccioni, Peter Pullen and Avi Wekselman. Life membership were presented to Brendan Corcoran, Russell Davidson and Dominic Napoli who became our 105th, 106th and 107th life members. Thanks to Dr Alan Aylett our fantastic guest speaker.

CAN HE BOUNCE? Over the years we have had a couple of really great bouncers in Kevin Segota and Grahram Thwaites, after last week we can add the name of Jack Maclean who umpired his first C grade game out at Marcellin. Jack was very impressive with the height of his bouncing that the ruckmen had to delay their run ups for about 3 sec just to wait for the ball to come down.

Brendan Corcoran who umpired his 400th game last week, would like to thank all involved at Swinburne and Aquinas for the guard of honour and the presentation of the match ball.

PREMIER GRAND FINAL DAY Don’t forget to keep Premier Grand Final Day (Sat 21 Sept 2013) free. The traditional Premier GF lunch will kick off at 11:30am. Cost is $35 and includes entry to the ground, two course meal and a free drink! More details to be announced shortly including a guest speaker. Following the Grand Final there will be presentations to the Premier Grand Final Umpires, cheap drinks, a free BBQ (thanks to Harris Family Butchers), a DJ and possibly an AFL Preliminary Final on the big screen.

FINAL COUNTDOWN As the 2013 home and away season drew to a close on Saturday, the excitement of finals time is in the air for the top four in Kew, Werribee, Williamstown CYMS and Point Cook as they play for September glory. For the other five teams, it’s back to the drawing board and hopefully 2014 will bring them some more success than 2013.

Bottom placed Richmond Central ended the season on a positive note with a 28 point win over St Mary’s Salesian. The Centrals had control of the match, with Jackson Lee best afield. The match of the round between Point Cook and Williamstown CYMS lived up to its expectations. The home side looked superb as they had the lead at half time, but unfortunately that’s where it stopped as the CY’s played some terrific football and claimed the 2 point victory away from home despite their inaccurate goal kicking woes. Kew’s fairytale undefeated season continued with a massive 130 point thrashing over UHS – VU, led by Tyler Haywood with 4. The 13 goal lead at half time to the Giants, made it impossible for the Uni boys to get back into the match in their final game for 2013.

St Bernards surprised second placed Werribee Districts at home by 52 points. The Snowdogs had a day out with their goal kicking, despite being inaccurate (16.15). Jeremy Sullivan and Mason Frenkel had a day out for both sides respectively with 4 goals apiece.

54

As finals become a different ballgame, commencing with the semis this week, there will be some great games of football in the section and tipping a winner successfully will not be an easy task.

REVIEW OF GRAND FINALS,2013 SECTION 1 The unbeaten Old Xaverians continued their dominant season with a clinical display which left St Bernard’s without an answer to the Crocs quick ball movement and precision kicking. The Xaverians, who led throughout, set up their victory with a five goal burst in the opening quarter. A solitary St Bernard’s goal, saw the Snowdogs trail by 23 points at the first change. St Bernard’s were unable to make any inroads in the second quarter as again they were held to a solitary goal while the rampant Crocodiles kicked eight to the northern end. Seven more goals were added by the Crocs in the third quarter while their opponents were held to just two. At the last change, Old Xaverians led by 96 points. This margin increased in the last quarter as St Bernard’s players tired and the Xaverians attacked continually to add a further five goals. Against this scoring onslaught, St Bernard’s were only able to kick one further goal.

At the final siren, Old Xaverians held a 123 point lead as they rewrote the Club XVIII Grand Final record book. Beau Runnells was awarded the King/ Landrigan Medal for best on the ground.

He was ably supported by the perennial final’s star, Dan Tehan and ruckman Cameron Purss. Ben Oakley from De La Salle was presented with the Stephen Mason Medal for being adjudged as the Fairest and Best player in the competition while James McDonnell again won the goal kicking with a season total of 91.

SECTION 2 Undefeated Hawthorn quickly established a commanding lead with a six goal to two first quarter. Hawthorn ruckman, Andrew Stavrides, later named as the game’s best player, brought many of his team mates into the play through judicious use of handball. The Hawthorn lead increased through the second quarter as Ormond players were unable to convert opportunities. By half time the Hawks led by 45 points. As in their previous finals, Ormond took the honours in the third quarter and a close finish seemed likely.

Ormond midfielders came to the fore to drive 58

their team into attack where their forwards added four goals to one, whittling the Spartans lead to 29 points. Hawthorn steadied in the last quarter and added a further two goals to one, which gave them the winning margin of 38 points. To their credit Ormond had lessened their losing margin against the Section Champions from those recorded in their home and away matches. Mark Petryk from Emmaus/ St Leo’s received the Sectional fairest and best medal and Hawthorn’s Ari Mitropoulos and Ormond’s, Daniel Brosnan shared the goal kicking award.

SECTION 3 The first half of this game provided an even contest although the greater accuracy by Richmond Central forwards enabled the Cardinals to hold a 23 point lead at half time. In their semi final loss, the inability of the Eley Park forwards to kick goals really stopped their side from applying scoreboard pressure to the minor premiers. A scoreless third quarter by Eley Park, saw Richmond Central tighten their grip on the game as they had built their lead to 52 points by three quarter time. Eley Park rallied slightly in the last quarter but Richmond Central remained in control and recorded their first premiership victory in nineteen seasons by 59 points. Best players for the Premiers included: captain, Robert Nolan, who was adjudged as the best on the ground, Luke Cartwright and David Logan. Brendan Donally, James Dowling and Stephen Judd were named as best for Eley Park.

Eley Park, ruckman, Nicholas Greenhalf was the clear winner of the Section best and Fairest Award whilst Eley Park, forward Joshua Brown won the competition goal kicking award.

And so another season has ended. Thank you to all my readers, without whom the sectional scribes would not be needed. Onwards to 2014.
