TWO PRELIMINARY FINALS BETTER THAN ONE? The front cover of the Amateur Footballer sums up football last week – rain, muddy cricket pitches and cold. For the modern footballer this is a new challenge as in the past decade they have been playing on hard, dry grounds where the ball bounces up and you don’t have to spend the day on hands and knees just to get a possession.

Wet weather football generally means low scoring and the result will depend on who makes the most of their limited opportunities. In the Premier Section match of the round last Sunday, at half time Old Carey had scored the only major but ended up losing to Old Xaverians three goals to two.

The low scoring didn’t detract from the game as ball ups, boundary throw-ins and tough contests were the order of the day. This was a great contest that meant each forward thrust was critical. It was a throw back to the past where kicking backwards, short passes and even drop punts were dispensed with as yardage (a term more familiar with the 1970s) was more important than possession.

Many grounds would have suffered dramatically due to the water with the run into the finals and relegation battles to be played in heavy conditions over the coming weeks.

As clubs get ready, the VAFA’s finals preparation is well underway. The last round of the Club XVIII competition is this week with the finals to commence next weekend. Section 1 has 12 teams with a final six in operation for the first time.

Two preliminary finals have been an incredibly successful inclusion to the AFL finals program both in terms of revenue and suspense.

The Club XVIII final six has allowed us to experiment with a new finals schedule conducted over three weeks with both grand finalists to play the week before the big one. In week one there are three fixtured matches: 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4. The three

winners and the highest placed loser progress to the preliminary final.

The team on top is certain of progressing through to the prelim, and if they win then the second team becomes the beneficiary of a double chance to still progress. There is a great advantage of finishing on top, but you still need to win three finals to secure a premiership.

Bringing two preliminary finals into the senior sections in the future would add an extra dimension to our finals. The winners of preliminary finals would not only progress to the grand final, but also gaining promotion. More importantly two cut throat matches played on the same weekend would also see both grand finalists playing with the same break.

For a top four finals system, a four week finals series is a thing of the past. No longer is the second semi final played on the weekend following the first semi. This schedule granted the winner of the second semi a path straight into the grand final and another weekend off. It meant that the one of the teams on grand final day had only played one match in the past month.

We have removed this anomaly by having all semi finals on the same weekend, making it a three week series. In the future perhaps we will see a system that has two preliminary finals and no rest for either competing club before the biggest game of the year.

I will be watching these two Club XVIII Preliminary Finals with great interest and I am sure all the players, whilst they may not admit it, will enjoy the added pressure that it brings.

WINNING FOR SAFETY It will never rain the required amount of water for a city of our size again; the drought is here to stay, a desalination plant will save us all we were told.

You could have fooled our footballers, who battled their way through the slosh on Saturday. Gone are the days when a sprinkle of rain during the week saves the groundsmen some watering duties, the grounds are taking a lot of water, some hold up better than others, but one thing is for certain, wet winter footy is well and truly back. Around the suburban grounds of Melbourne low scoring tight contests were prevalent in most matches, but as we all know, there are always exceptions to the rule.

De La Salle are proving to be one of those exceptions at the moment as they won their fourth game in a row comfortably defeating Caulfield Grammarians at home by 57 points. Sam Williams was dominant, adding a goal to his slick work through the middle. So too was the skipper David Lowe, whilst Sam Pickett kicked four goals to help the home team extend their lead at every change. For Caulfield it was another case of putting in a good first half only to fall away after half time. Chris Game was good for the visitors but they failed to kick a goal in the final two quarters of the match. Against a De La side chasing a double chance, it makes for a tough Saturday afternoon.

In recent years not too many sides have managed to hold Old Xaverians goalless for a half of football, Old Carey now hold that honour. Unfortunately the Panthers couldn’t hold on for victory in unbelievably tough conditions at Sportscover Arena on Sunday. Old Xaverians kicked a couple of goals at the start of the third term to arrest the lead, they added their third goal at the start of the last to extend the margin to a game winning lead.

Old Carey tried to fight back and got to within nine points but the conditions and a bad miss from Damien Yze, 10 meters our directly in front 2

cost the game a chance of the grandstand finish it deserved. Both sides were applauded from the ground at the conclusion of the match with the captains of both sides playing magnificently in the muddy slog.

Expectations for University Blues to win this match, and ease relegations fears were not met as St Bernards proved too strong at University Oval.

The conditions again played a part to keep the teams close, but when you don’t score in a quarter of football - as Blues failed to do in the second - it will cost your side victory. In fact Blues outscored St Bernards in two of the four quarters and it was all square in the last. However 4.5 to zero in the second quarter was enough to hand St Bernards a win that leaves them just a game outside the four.

For University Blues, the loss leaves them looking over their shoulder for the remaining five games of the season. For St Bernards it was a welcome return to the side of the Madden surname as both Josh and Luke kicked a goal each with Luke named best in the 19 point win.

Old Trinity improved their deficit by 98 points from last week; unfortunately this week wasn’t any easier as they were playing the reigning champs Collegians. The home side fell 22 points short of the Lions in an entertaining game at Daley Oval.

In wet conditions you need to take your chances and although a some of the 14 behinds that Trinity scored were conceded by an under pressure Collegians backline, the ball was in their home side’s forward line enough to suggest this game could have been closer. When Collegians went forward they generally converted with Jack Bull, Shura Taft, Sam Hibbins, all booting two majors.

Andrew Ramsden kicked his 50th goal for the season for the umpteenth time.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY

Upsets are a part of footy and St Bedes / Mentone Tigers seven goal win over Old Scotch was a happy one for the home team. Yes, the Tigers were at home and yes, Scotch had lost three of their last four but the difference between the sides on the day belied their positions on the ladder. St Bedes / Mentone Tigers started strongly, as they had the previous week, but their eight goal torrent in the second stanza ripped this game apart. The margin never dropped below four goals for the remainder of the day. Pat Keane was a star with over 30 touches and kicking three goals, but could have five with more accuracy. Luke Schumman was always a threat up forward for the Cardinals and whilst he managed three, the supply wasn’t great due to the extreme pressure put on the Scotch midfield delivering the ball. A great win for St Bedes / Mentone Tigers gives them breathing space from the threat of relegation and surely one more win would see them remain in Premier section next season.

This week Collegians should account for Caulfield

Grammarians at home and University Blues will find the going tough against Old Carey who should regain Julian Rowe and possibly Ben Smithwick for the clash at Dunshea. Old Scotch host De La Salle in the radio broadcast match of the day at Camberwell. Last time these sides met, De La Salle won a one-point thriller in round one.

More polished now De La will be too strong for the Cardinals. Old Trinity play three of the top five in the run home and need to pinch wins from somewhere. I feel an upset brewing but can’t see them losing to Old Xaverians at Toorak park. The Sunday game at Sportscover Arena is St Bedes / Mentone Tigers and St Bernards, both sides are still mathematical chances to play finals but reality suggests they might be too far back. On last week’s form the Tigers should win and book their place in Premier for 2013.

POGO-ING PUNKS AND POPULAR CULTURE Madcap, irreverent nods to pop culture and the world’s richest musical vein were especially refreshing elements of last Saturday’s Olympic opening ceremony. Lizzie may have had sour second thoughts about her role in that zany Bond sequence, but I was punching the air in my jarmies, laughing in delight compared to the usual snore fests of cycling plastic animals and synchronised ribbon twirlers. The surprisingly brazen Brits, showed that respect and imagination don’t have to be mutually exclusive while still dipping their Empire lids in a clever (albeit politically bland) potted history. Danny Boyle, you rock!

And so round 13 started with great excitement and big hopes, after all, who in the sporting world doesn’t get inspired by the age-old blend of music, sport and a touch of drama?

Coming in with great form under their belt, Old Brighton met St Kevins full of confidence but found themselves completely outclassed. Skevs moved the match from muddy TH King; the not so ‘filthy’ Phil Edgar had a day out at Sportscover Arena kicking six goals in a BOG performance.

The tri-colours smashed the Tonners at the centre breaks, were more organised in attack and looked faster and harder. Jock Marchesani continues his stellar season, while James North and Marcel Bruin had reasonable games for Old Brighton who went down by 52 points.

Brede Seccull notched up another solid contribution in Old Haileybury’s narrow win over Werribee at Soldier’s Reserve. The Bloods trailed at quarter time by a point, the Tigers spurred on by co-captain Josh Huxtable (4) and the evergreen Wayne Pelar, but the Haileyburians steamed through a match winning second term despite the inevitable Werribee last-term launch.

The Bloods by two goals, McTaggart kicking four.

In a tough physical battle with the dreaded R-word on everyone’s mind, AJAX hosted Oakleigh in a game of desperation football that saw both sides variously take the upper hand.

After dominating early the Jackas seemed to lose their way in the third, the Krushers taking a four point lead at the final turn yet again through the efforts of Chris Lamb. An exciting see-sawing finish saw best afield Marcus Jankie steadying the ship for Ajax, along with David Fayman (6) to run out eight point victors.

Beaumaris had eleven different goal scorers in their 107-point demolition of Old Ivanhoe, putting a touch more percentage between themselves and St Kevins in the process. Wilba Murton showed his classy best along with Callan Buckley, while Scott Gower nailed four for the Sharks. James Binny was named best for Ivanhoe who started well with a competitive first term that they were unable to maintain for the duration of the game.

Despite the driving rain and sodden conditions, Uni Black’s ruckman Andrew Willingham had a day out at the Junction Oval, giving first use to his lively band of onballers as they slammed the brakes on Old Melburnians’ winning streak with a 28 point victory. The dark blues rallied in the second but a poor third stanza (managing just a solitary behind) was their undoing. Bennett kicked a pair in another decent effort, while Jordy Foster kicked three for Blacks.

THIS WEEK Turning to the forecast for this week and St Kevins are surely the lock against Old Ivanhoe at Pine Lodge. SKOBs will hope to make inroads into the percentage gap the Sharks have opened up on them but they might need a couple of big wins to achieve that. You would imagine the same scenario occurring for Uni Blacks who host AJAX, the Blacks have a game in hand though and are unlikely to falter here. Strange things can happen at the business end... just ask our 4x100m men’s relay team. Werribee take on Old

Melburnians at home and could stamp a heavy mark on the make up of the four as they aim to wrest back seventh pozzie from the Jackas. OMs must win to stave off a fourth position challenge from Old Brighton, who should win when they play the Krushers at Scammell Reserve. I’m tipping the ‘Bees who have looked more like their old selves of late. Meanwhile the Bloods will be psyching themselves up for their own top four launch in a big home game against the Sharks.

Unfortunately for the home side the Sharks have generally feasted when smelling blood in recent weeks and expect that to continue on Saturday.

WHO LEFT THE GATE OPEN? I like to think I have an inquisitive mind. I want to know what ‘permeate’ actually is, before being told that my milk is free of it. I wonder if Michael Slater being sent to the purgatory of the synchronised diving commentary team is actually a mockumentary currently gracing our airwaves. And I will continue to attempt to decipher just what is going to happen with the clubs currently occupying positions 3-8 on the Premier C ladder, by the end of Round 18.

Mazenod went down to Hampton for a date with the Rovers and their finals contender status on life support, if they didn’t win. Conditions were trying, but in wet weather, there aren’t many better decks in the VAFA than Boss James. The Nodders played with desperation befitting their current situation, to push the lead out past 50 points by half time. Chamath Jayaweera was at his elusive best, on the way to a BOG performance and young gun Josh Cowan continues to shine.

The Rovers again showed resilience to win the second half against an inaccurate Mazenod, but by this stage the horse had bolted and the Nodders were able to register an eight goal win.

Matthew Innes was in top form for the Rovers and Ed Turner continues to make the most of his opportunities in front of goal.

Parkdale came up against Monash and played like a team that deserves top spot on the ladder winning their fifth straight in a polished display.

Once again Monash was a tough opponent, but squandered opportunities in the first half and an indifferent display in the second half proved costly, as the Ashes fate for this season was confirmed. Sam Larkins kicked four for the home side in his senior debut, Sullivan and Hampton were in the thick of things and Robert Swayn was sublime. For the Blues, Zac Ledin has been 6

in good form recently and Jordan Bell provided excellent support.

An important clash took place at Marcellin College with huge finals implications hinging on the result. Fitzroy’s chances weren’t helped by the absence of Ablett and O’Reilly, and the conditions suggested that the game was going to be a slog. The Eagles got in front early and managed to maintain for the rest of the day, with the only goal of the final quarter sealing a crucial win. Peter Augustin made it two BOG’s in two weeks for Marcellin, whilst a tough day for the goal kickers, Scott Cations’ three snags for the Roys helped keep them in the game.

It was going to take a major turnaround for Banyule to reverse the result of their Round 5 game against Old Camberwell. The return of their skipper, Michael Christian, provided the impetus and Brandon Kelly and Tore Valvo debuted for the seniors. After an even first quarter, the Bears started to take control. Banyule played great wet weather football, pushing the ball forward at every opportunity and cutting off the Wellers on several occasions, as they tried to bring the ball back through the corridor. Bart Walsh was controlling the game from the midfield, Ryan Hay set up the play from the wing and Adam Barclay bobbed up with four goals, as Banyule recorded a confidence-boosting win. Rohan Kapoor played his best game for the Wellers, who again find themselves in danger of dropping out of the four.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - Get back in the game

If PEGS had managed to get up against Rupertswood, they’d be fourth on the ladder right now. Instead, the 22 point defeat leaves them in seventh. Rupo played terrific football after a topsy-turvy first half, adding six goals to PEGS’ two after half time to turn a small deficit into a relatively comfortable win. Brent Swallow, Nash Egan and Ben Brennan were the best players for Rupertswood, while familiar names Goullet, Jones and Towner stood up for PEGS. It’s tough enough trying to pick a match of the round this week, let alone who is going to win on Saturday. Mazenod hosts Rupertswood at Central Reserve and I guess when in doubt, stick with the home side. Marcellin heads down to Clayton and given how important wins are for them between now and the finals, they

won’t drop this game. Old Camberwell takes on Hampton Rovers at the barnyard and will get the win to maintain their top four status. PEGS takes on Parkdale and, in an upset, I’m going to stick with PEGS at home until they prove me wrong.

A fourth straight loss to Fitzroy would drop them down as low as seventh, while Banyule could find themselves in the four if they can win and other results go their way. Tough one to pick, without knowing the availability of some Fitzroy stars, but I’ll assume they’re back in and manage to win a thriller.

GUARD OF HONOUR LOSE THEIR SHIRTS Regulars to home games at St Bedes / Mentone Tigers chuckled amongst themselves as perplexed visitors to Brindisi St witnessed an unusual guard of honour for the welcoming of the senior side on to the ground for their match against Old Scotch last weekend. Despite a loss, the Reserves players formed a guard of honour for the senior side and all removed their jumpers and commenced waving them around their heads in a Kevin Sheedy versus West Coast

Eagles fashion. The Inner FM commentary team were bemused as were many of the visiting Scotch supporters. Further investigation into the bizarre welcoming ceremony discovered that each home game the two’s do something different to welcome the one’s onto the ground. The ladies at the ground enjoyed it and it was all in good spirit too. The boys might have to get their jumpers off next week as the home went on to record a vital win.

LUNCHING WITH SAINTS There seemed to be a distinct St Kilda flavour to a couple of the Saturday lunches last weekend. At St Bedes / Mentone Tigers Kevin ‘Cowboy’ Neale had the crowd rolling around with laughter as he talked about 1966, his captain coaching record in Canberra and the reason he is called Cowboy. At AJAX Fraser Gehrig and Jason Blake told of more recent experiences at St Kilda. Blake (formerly of Beaumaris where he played U19s and also in four junior premiership sides, two of which 8

were coached by current Club President Ron Buller) has widely been tipped to secure his first Brownlow vote this year after more than 200 games at the top level without his name being read out on the Monday before the AFL Grand Final. It got us wondering if anyone has been keeping tabs on players at your club to have a large number of games in the Amateurs without ever securing a vote from the men in white. Get in touch if you think you have someone and we will scour our records too.

SOUTH MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB It was one positive after another for South Melbourne Districts Football Club last Saturday. The players did the tight thing by the club in securing a great wins in both the reserves and seniors before everyone could get dressed up for the club’s Centenary Celebrations that kicked off that evening at the Power House Function Centre.

As clubs will know, it’s always a better function when you go into the night with a win, and club President Tony Pilimon was delighted with the day and night.

A total of 27 people were inducted into the famous club’s Hall of Fame. Roy Cazaly headed the list of inductees of famous South names which also included founding father of the club Charlie McBurnie, Keith Forbes and Daryl Jones to name a few. The night also launched the brilliant book Blood, Sweat ‘n’ Cheers by Dr Robert Grogan who has documented the 100 years of the club in a fantastic manor. Supporters of the club are

able to purchase the book and can order a copy through the club’s website http://smdsc. com.au/ or by contacting Maureen McGee by email: treasurer@smdsc.com.au.

WINNING EDGE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP We are getting to the pointy end of the season and as teams battle it out to save themselves from relegation or bid to secure a finals berth there is always the ever present Winning Edge Club Championship to determine the club of the year. Found on the back page of the Amateur Footballer the table is a combined score on the success of your club’s teams for the season. With only a handful of matches to go, the battle is heating up. To remind everyone on the point scoring for a win the senior side secure 4 points, the Reserves 2 points, the U19s or U18s 3 points and the Thirds or Club XVIII 1 point. At this stage 10

Old Xaverians have a lead of seven points over Ivanhoe AFC with De La Salle and Old Geelong still chances to secure the title. The winning club receives a plaque from Winning Edge.

One of the great character’s around St Bernards Football Club Mel Beyer coached countless players and done a million jobs around the club over many years. Aside from coaching Mel is the guy that’s cooking the BBQ, helping out at the pre-season camp, running the Annual Major Raffle, and organising the Melbourne Cup Calcutta. In recent years Mel has received huge support from his ‘better half’ and joint club No. 1 ticketholder Deb Marinier. Along the way Mel has coached Under 16, Under 17, and Warriors teams for over 20 seasons and has enjoyed the four premierships along the way. Miracle will be the first to admit that he is not a new age or technical coach, Mel still rejects the 1970’s fad of using witches hats but he is a ‘heart and soul’ St Bernards person who is involved for the right reasons. Mel’s popularity with his players was demonstrated on his 50th birthday party when his former U16 and U17 Captains over 12 years attended and posed for a photo with their former coach.

Old Haileyburian Hamish McLauchlan will join the elite who have played 200 games for the club. This ensures Life Membership – a fine testament to a great and extremely popular clubman. Hamish first played for the club in 2001. After a couple of seasons in the U/19s, he was soon playing senior football. A member of the 2006 Premiership side he is renowned for his attention to detail and determined approach to the game. This focus saw him appointed as Co-captain in 2012. Hamish has been the backbone of the club’s defence for a number of years, although he has recently had more time on the ball and in the forward line. Hamish is an excellent reader of the play and leads from the front.

Monash Blue George Henry Smyth debuted in 2000. George is the epitome of a Monash footballer, skilful, dedicated and supremely balanced which allows him to dominate on and off the field. George is one of the most decorated players in the Club’s 51 year history and his remarkable individual achievements include 2 League best and fairest awards, 4 Club Senior best and fairest awards, Club Captain 2007 and 2010-2012, ruckrover in Monash’s team of the half-century and a Club Life Member. George’s most proud achievement would be playing alongside his mates as a member of the 2003 D-Grade Premiership side.

Danny has enjoyed a highly decorated career and was an instrumental part of St Bernard’s most successful era in A Grade playing finals from 2000-2004 including Premiers in 2002 where Danny took the Jock Nelson Medal for Best On Ground. He has represented the Big V on six occasions and been named All Australian three times. In 2001, he was Runner-Up in the Woodrow Medal and is a dual Club Best and Fairest in 2002 and 2010. After winning the Noel Rundle Medal in 2004, he tested himself at a higher level with Geelong in the VFL where he won the Best and Fairest in 2005 before moving to WAFL club East Perth where he played over 80 senior games. Danny returned to St.Bernard’s in 2010 determined to get his club back to Premier Division. As Captain, his professionalism, leadership and work ethic set the standard for younger players and the club returned to the top flight in 2012. He leads by example both on and off the field and has been proudly supported by his family.

Old Geelong’s Charlie Fairbairn came to the club in 2002 as a 18 year old and soon became a core fixture in the Seniors backline. After playing in the 2005 Senior Premiership and 2008 Grand Final, work took Charlie across the border to Adelaide. There was a lot of fan fare around the Club upon his return to Melbourne last year allowing him to slot straight back into the CHB position he had vacated.

Old Haileyburian Nick Harrison started at the club in 2005 and had two seasons in the Under 19s and he was soon playing senior football, becoming the club’s number one ruckman and asserting influence on the game. Stints overseas and recent injuries have meant some delay in reaching the 100 game target.

Nick always plays with a smile on his face which belies his determined approach to the game.

University Black Andrew Else’s courage on the field is legendary; he will back into a pack of advancing semi-trailers for the cause and generally emerge with the footy. A ruckman who is not averse to embracing his inner power forward, as shown by a recent five goal haul, Andrew is a hugely popular and self-effacing operator and a Blacks favourite son.

Hawthorn’s Ben Hudson has been a part of the Hawks Nest since 2006. A hard man of the club who regularly plays a midfield role. Not graced with the best skills or the best hair style, he makes up for it with his distinct loud voice and can often be heard yelling ‘Huddo’s ball!’ The far wing at Rathmines also carries his name.

Hawthorn’s Pat Clancey has been a loyal servant of the club since joining as a member in 2006. Recently earning himself the new nickname ‘Ex’, Pat’s footy has improved dramatically this year. A half back flanker who began his career in the VAFA with SKOB U19’s in 2001.

University Black Huw Lacey is a serious footballer whose numerous career highlights include representing Australia at Under 23 level in an Irish campaign. Huw is also a champion contributor around the club having served on the committee for several years along with his good pal Johnny Admin. Huw is a pleasure to watch and a pleasure to know.

North Brunswick’s Steve Miller has established himself in the seniors as a speedy wing and half forward.

Steve is not afraid to have a ping at goal when the opportunity presents and his hard running is a feature of his game.

North Brunswick’s Troy Geary is a tagger run with player who is not afraid to get the hard ball. He is never one to shirk the issue, and he is a fine example to all his teammates.

Darren Dawson

GIVE ME FOOTY My wife thinks there is something wrong with me. Actually, she thinks there are many things wrong with me, but what she really cannot fathom is how disinterested I am in the Olympics. And it is true. I could not care less for Australia’s achievements in the pool, and on the other various courts and fields of play. I admire the athletes and their dedication, but I just cannot bring myself to sit through sporting contests which crop up on television once every four years.

The battle for control of the remote had extra spice this week. Because I love my footy: replays, analysis, panel shows, AFL 360, footy tweets, dream-team. From AFL down to junior footy.

I just cannot get enough. So having fought (and, ahem, lost) the battle of the big screen, I decided to retire to the lap-top and, with four rounds remaining, do some serious thinking about what lies ahead for this division in the last four rounds.

It is obvious that North Old Boys/St Pat’s and Peninsula Old Boys will play in the second semi-final. NOBs/St Pat’s recorded their twelfth win on the trot with a comprehensive seven goal defeat of Whitefriars. The top team’s experienced line up was never really threatened, and they continue to produce an even spread of goal kickers. The excellent form of Matt Keown is also a highlight. It was the second consecutive seven goal defeat the Friars have suffered to a top-two team, and they now must dig deep to find something extra which allows them to compete with the big two. Kudos to first gamer Michael Nitas, who stood up in the slush. And, on that point, an interesting question will be what effect the heavy home ground conditions will have had on the legs of the NOBs boys come finals time?

14

Second placed Peninsula had no trouble dealing with Ormond, particularly after the Pirates went into the quarter time break with a handy four goal lead, it turned out to be game over from that point on. Whilst Sam Murray booted four, it is instructive that Peninsula also shared the goals around. It’s academic, but the Pirates’ mammoth percentage means that any stumble by the NOBs would hand them top spot. Best for the Monders were Tim Naylor and Henry Simon.

Old Geelong have third place all but sewn up.

The Oggers were challenged in the first half

by Williamstown but did just enough in the second half, with CYs falling away badly, OGs ran out comfortable 36-point winners. Again, the victors had an array of goal-kicking options.

Old Mentonians found themselves on the wrong side of a one-point result, where as Glen Eira have staked their claim for retention in this division with their second win on the trot. It seems that no-one is prepared to stand up and grab fourth spot by the scruff of the neck, with the Panthers most likely to blow any chance they had of playing finals footy with their second half surrender to the Saints. For Glen Eira, it was a huge win in the context of their season, with the second relegation spot now most likely to be decided at the Fearon in round 17.

MHSOB predictably got the points over St John’s, and in doing so moved up to fifth spot and only sit a game outside the four, but the TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD North Old Boys/St Pats v Ormond Old Geelong v MHSOB Peninsula v Williamstown CYMS St Johns v Old Mentonians Whitefriars v Glen Eira

Unicorns did not have it all their own way. The Jocs stormed home with a five goal to zero final term, but again it was a slowish start which cost them dearly.

Preview: After four consecutive losses, the Panthers will return to the winners’ list with what will be an overdue victory over the Jocs.

One of the longest treks in ammos footy is the journey from Willy to Mt. Eliza, and it will be a long trip home for CYs, who will be looking toward the next two weeks rather than today’s match. By contrast, the Unicorns will make the shortest of journeys: along the Yarra to Como.

But they will find the OGs’ form is too hot for them to handle at present. Whitefriars will be looking to sure up their position in the four, and should just account for the improving Glen Eira.

NOBs / St Pat’s are well and truly preparing for finals action and will play ungracious hosts to an Ormond side who can still mathematically reach the September action despite losing six of their last nine matches.

MAILEYS LADDER PREDICTOR For those who support an AFL club vying for a finals berth, you’ll undoubtedly be familiar with the Baileys Ladder Predictor. Each week you register your supposedly unbiased selections for the remaining rounds and the clever computer spits out the ladder should those results eventuate.

Last week I went on search for a suitable sponsor to develop our very own Division 2 ladder predictor, and thankfully, Maileys ladders (found in two hardware stores across East Gippsland) came to the fore.

Round 18 Monash Gryphons VS Old Paradians Eltham Collegians VS South Melbourne Districts St Mary’s Salesian VS Therry Penola Bulleen Templestowe VS La Trobe University Prahran Assumption VS Emmaus St Leos So assuming that in a bizarre set of circumstances percentage remains the same, this is what my Maileys ladder predictor looks like.

While our ladder has some minor deficiencies namely it’s ability to calculate percentage, I’m proud to present its inaugural run.

Bulleen Templestowe

Eltham Collegians

67.66

Monash Gryphons VS Therry Penola

La Trobe University

53.34

Bulleen Templestowe VS South Melbourne Districts

Prahran Assumption VS Therry Penola

If the ladder was to finish like this, La Trobe and Emmaus St Leo’s will plunge to the dark depths of Division 3 while Bulleen, Eltham, Prahran and Paradians will march on, albeit one side just for a mere week.

Monash Gryphons VS Emmaus St Leos

Games to Watch

St Mary’s Salesian VS Old Paradians

While the top 4 appears to be set in stone, (Prahran and Eltham swapping places the only conceivable change) the relegation battle is far more riveting.

The following 2 games are a must see for any Division 2 follower.

Monash Gryphons VS Emmaus St Leos – Round 16 St Mary’s will unquestionably have club officials at this one, mobile phone in hand and relaying each and every goal back to Ferndale Park. The animals raised their colours when the two last met and with a spell in Div 3 on the line, you couldn’t be blamed for tipping them. I’ve selected Monash in the predictor, but a St Leo’s win would see them scurrying out of the red zone and St Mary’s dropping down.

1 it’s highly unlikely that St Mary’s can do it again in round 16 so regardless of the outcome of the St Leo’s versus Monash game the week prior, this game will be pitted as “The Relegation Game.”

With tough games to follow in round 18 for both sides, you’d imagine the contrasting fates of the two teams will be all but decided by game’s end.

Whatever the results and whatever the outcome, the brutal preseason’s, the Friday night curfews and the jarred fingers from the past five months is certain to culminate in an almighty battle at both ends of the ladder.

DIVISION 3

Nick Wynne

SUCK IT AND SEE This week in Division three, Nick knows predictability.

Predictable is something all teams strive to be.

Let’s take Yarra Valley for example - each player in that side knows exactly what the other is doing. Well drilled, professional and disciplined are cliché’s thrown around loosely in Divvy three, but the Bushrangers, have all of these in spades. To add to that, they’re more predictable than Smokey Dawson turning up to a free Glen Eira luncheon and giving it some, “I’ll give you a mention in my column this week”. He said it himself last week “I love a lunch or three”. From all reports, the man can eat.

Alex Turner said this of predictability: “It’s like a well-dressed lady in a night club looking good on the dance floor, and you always fall for those well dressed ladies”. Some advice, when you do fall, just suck it and see, you never know. Yarra Valley is my well dressed lady.

The Oxford thesaurus sights some other words for predictable as “unsurprising, humdrum, banal, expected and conventional”. Any one of those words could describe the result in the UHS-VU, Yarra Valley game. I know I’ve probably thrown enough ropes over the Bushies in my opening par, but they are seriously good. A 96 point hammering of the third placed side doesn’t bode well for any other team with premiership aspirations, but as I said before, suck and see.

Abraham Lincoln was said to be an extremely predictable man, and he was able to successfully lead his country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis. Suds Larkins is an equally predictable man. You can always count on him to bring the soap on a rope, which is brilliant. Hence being called a predictable football team is a good thing, right?

Yes. Power House, for example, is a great football team, and they are predictable, unfortunately at 20

the moment it’s because they continue to lose.

This week was no different. They lost to a razzed up St. Francis Xavier, who had their season on the line. From the get go it was the powerful X-men midfield that did the damage. Power House managed to get their noses in front midway through the third quarter, but they couldn’t maintain the pressure and succumbed to the X-men in the final stanza.

Some of the results this week proved that I’m out of place, and I’m not getting any wiser, in fact most of the time, I feel like a Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer. Mind you, I did pick this result - Hawthorn over Old Westbourne. In tough conditions, both sides fought bravely. Old Westbourne didn’t begin as well as they would have hoped, kicking into a gale force breeze they only managed two goals. In the second quarter the Hawks, with assistance of the wind, managed to kick away to a five goal lead and a strong second half saw them hold that lead until the end.

Looking abroad, distinguished Professor of Physics, Albert-László Barabási, said that unpredictability can be a good thing. Albee’s point was proven when we saw Aquinas make Elsternwick pay for their sloppy goal kicking. The Wickers kicked 5.14 and squandered many more opportunities. While they started well, they were eventually over-run by the Bloods in the last.

Aquinas will be ecstatic with the win as it means they have all but wrapped up a top two spot.

Back home and being an individual in Melbourne is considered hip and cool. However, supposedly 93 percent of human behaviour is predictable.

Therefore is it against human nature to be radical? I don’t know the answer to that, what I do know is, you can try too hard.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran

of trying too hard, I have a feeling it may have been the case for Albert Park. They were in their game against Ivanhoe right up to the end. It was outstanding sport, with the majority of the play being contained between the two fifties.

A couple of straight kicks from Moose and his sidekick Lachie Roberts were the difference in the end.

In another very close game, Richmond took on Kew. After a real slog and in the lowest scoring VAFA game of the day, it was Kew who just got up. The loss puts paid to any finals hopes that Richmond may have had. While the scoreboard at the end of the game looked more like that of a soccer game than a game of Aussie rules, both teams played a very committed brand of wet weather football and should be commended on what was a very exciting and hard fought game.

THE RAINS ARE ERE The only positive that can be derived from wet weather football is that it usually ensures that the contest is closer than usual. And with rain falling at regular intervals across all games on the weekend, this theory couldn’t be more insightful. Whilst the football was far from pretty, the contests were predominantly tight tussles that may have been far greater blow outs if it weren’t for the dismal state of grounds and degree of difficulty that is part and parcel of wet weather football. Melbourne Winter’s don’t usually come and go without more than a handful of inclement Saturday’s. Last Saturday was always going to be one of those days where you would much rather remain in the car with the heater blaring and the windscreen wipers in overdrive.

Yet, it appears that it was the teams that came to play early that made the best of the bad conditions.

South Mornington was coming off the first defeat of the season and as expected came out all guns blazing in the opening term. In miserable conditions down the Peninsula, the Tigers jumped out of the blocks and never looked vulnerable against Manningham who appeared at times like they wish they had not had to make the trip down the coast on such an unfortunate day. In the absence of leading goal kicker Jesse Albrecht, Kyle Gascoigne stepped up to the plate and booted three majors to lead the Tigers to victory. David Gibson was a standout for the Cobras collecting a mass of clearances.

At Mt Lilydale, the underwhelming Rams were once again a disappointment. Hosting Box Hill North, Mt Lilydale wasted an opportunity to gain some much needed respect in the 22

competition. To the Demons credit, they led from start to finish in one of their better performances for the season. Club stalwart Dan Penny was one of the shining lights for the visitors, and he was well assisted by Mike Causer’s three goals.

In the game of the round, premiership contenders, Point Cook and Eley Park, battled it out to determine who would take the extra layer of confidence into September. The Bulldogs, who have made their home ground a fortress this year, were stunned by the Sharks whose premiership favoritism is shortening by the week. In blustery conditions down the highway, the Sharks went home with the four points after defeating Point Cook by four goals.

David Viola’s five goals were telling, and Al Renshaw was once again everywhere for Eley Park. For the Dogs, Tristan Furr was back to his devastating best in the middle of the ground.

In the Brunswick derby West and North met for the second time this season. The weather meant that only the diehards were present, but the ill feeling between the two sides was obvious for all to see. With only five goals kicked in the first half, goals were always going to be hard to come by. On a soggy Ransford Oval, the Magpies three goals to one in the final term was enough to take not only the points but the bragging rights from the disappointing Bulls who only managed four goals for the game.

Chadstone were probably the happiest of the ten teams when they woke up on Saturday morning. Wet weather over night and the promise of more downpours during the day would mean hope of a close game. But then TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Chadstone v Eley Park Sharks Point Cook v West Brunswick Swinburne University v Mt Lilydale Manningham Cobras v Box Hill North North Brunswick v South Mornington

again, they were playing the second placed Razorbacks away from home. By 5pm the Synners were brought to the realisation that regardless of the weather, they weren’t good enough on the day to knock off a team of the class of Swinburne Uni. Chadstone have improved significantly recently, but they are still a little way off that drought breaking victory.

Chris Kilmartin did the damage for the students with four goals, whilst Marty Leahy appeared to bring his on football on the day, collecting possessions at will. Dan Field and Ian Bingham were two who made their presence felt for the struggling Synners.

Today: South Mornington travel to North Brunswick where they should make light work of the Bulls and continue to regain some form

after their recent shock loss. Things don’t get any easier for Chadstone when they host the inform team of the competition, Eley Park, in a game that should be over very early. Manningham take on Box Hill North in the local showdown, which should go in the Cobras favour. Down at Point Cook, the Bulldogs host West Brunswick in a game that the home side will be hoping gets them back onto the winners list. Finally, Swinburne Uni return to St James Park where they should make light work of the continually disappointing Mt Lilydale outfit.

RETRO

Geoff Reilley

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011 Eltham’s chances of making the top four in Division 2 took a dive when they had the chance to topple the undefeated Glen Eira but kicked poorly in contrast to GE’s accuracy. Glen Eira’s final winning score of 12.4 to 8.14 told the tale. Best – Higgins, Tsirogiannos, Waras, Carstensen, Harris, Bloink (GE) and Wenborn, Richardson, Galvin, Brown, Hargrave, Olaris (Eltham).

Elsternwick’s 10 goal second quarter in their Division 3 match against Monash Gryphons made the difference as they coasted to 21.10 to 11.15.

Best – Hunter (10), Sceney, Richardson, Hodgkiss, Mahoney, grace (E’Wick) and Welsh, Harrack, Sheehan, Madden, Flowerday (Monash).

South Mornington continued their improved form in Division 4 with a good win over Eley Park Sharks 15.14 to 12.6. Best – Kemp. Heib, Blackmore (7), Woodruff, Ryan (Sth M) and Thomas, Lindsay, Costorphin, McCabe, Viola, Marsiglio (Eley Park).

Andrew Edge, co-captain of Old Brighton recorded his 150th game. In addition to being a key part of the Tonners’ defence, he was also contributing to the club committee. It was 100 games up for Prahran Assumption’s Jack Matherson and Uni Blacks’ Tommy Napier.

Umpires’ Corner saluted the elevation of Brian “Benny” Goodman to Big V Champion at the Annual Big V Luncheon. Benny had umpired 17 representative games throughout his distinguished umpiring career.

5 YEARS AGO – 2007 In a really important game in A Section, Collegians hosted Old Ivanhoe these two top four teams having plenty to play for. Collegians never looked like losing in the first half and were 5 goals to the fore at half time. Things turned around a little in the third term but Collegians were still 4 goals up at the final break. In a great last quarter, Old Ivanhoe really had a go and gradually pegged the Lions back before James Hope again kicked a ‘sealer’ to give the brown and whites victory 12.12 to 12.10. Best – Luxon (4), Butler, Nagel, Byrne, Curatolo, Georgiou, Harrison (Old Ivanhoe) and Fry, Zimbachs, Williams, Blumfield, Jorgenson, Bull (Collegians).

44

Caulfield Grammarians pulled off an upset in B Section as they stormed home to win 19.11 to 16.13.

With Nick Tassell and Brett Sinclair combining to cut the Blacks defence to pieces, while Luke Batten and Luke O’Connell did everything they could to lift the Uni. Best – Tassell (5), Sinclair (7), Browne, Widjaja, Wright, Strain (Caulfield) and Batten, Vanderloo, Shaw, Van Kempen, O’Connell, Prestidge (Blacks).

Hampton Rovers congratulated David Anderson when he played his 300th game for the Club including 186 in the seniors/reserves. Part of the Anderson/Cave dynasty that had serve the Rovers so well over the years, the tradition was clearly continuing.

10 YEARS AGO – 2002 Banyule put an end to St Bedes Mentone Tigers’ 12 game winning streak in C Section when they trailed almost all day before snatching a 2 point victory 14.15 to 14.13.This victory would also provide Banyule with the chance to avoid relegation although they had plenty of work ahead of themselves to do so. Best – O’Connell, C Taylor, N Taylor, Cantwell, Kayrooz, D Williams (Banyule) and McColl, Waistab, Spencer, Terrell, Barnes, Beasley (StB).

In D1 Section, Bulleen Templestowe were lucky Aquinas kicked relatively poorly in the first quarter, recording 6.9. By half time Bulleen Temp had taken the lead and went on to a telling victory 18.12 to 10.18 and Aquinas were now hanging on to fourth place on percentage only. Best – O’Donnell, Robertson, N Bone, Williams, Chivers, Smith (BT) and Denbraber, Flynn, Livingstone (3), Denavi, Hunter Lorkin (Aquinas).

D1 Section Senior Coaches were – Phil Davis (AJAX), Steve Box (Aquinas), Doug Searle (Bulleen Temp), Brad Hall (Ivanhoe Assumption), Tony Macgeorge (Mentone), Tim Powell (Monash Blues), Simon Bones (Old Geelong), Darren Turner (StLeos/ Emmaus), Paul O’Shannassy (Uni Blacks) and Darren Caddy (Williamstown CYMS).

20 YEARS AGO – 1992 The big game in A Section between North Old Boys and Old Scotch was an even money bet. Both teams need to win to have a chance of entry into the top four and the intensity in the first quarter was evident as the two teams displayed some skilled footy in the heavy conditions and tough unrelenting one on one battles all over the ground.

NOBS’ narrow advantage at the first change was maintained in the second quarter. Both teams THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

were equally as hard in the ‘premiership quarter’ but at three quarter time, it was still NOBS a goal and a half in front. Scotch lifted their work rate in the thrilling final term through the efforts of Rohan Aujard, Mark Brady and Gavin Eagle in the main.

Tom Beare and Bruno Conti were outstanding for NOBS but Scotch’s harder running just got them over the line by the smallest margin 8.12 to 8.11 and they were out of the four only by percentage. Best – Aujard, Brady, Eagle, Smith, Gibbs, Steele (Scotch) and Conti, Beare, Turnbull, Abrahams, Egan (NOBS).

Old Trinity, on top in B Section, had to work really hard against relegation possibilities, Monash Blues but were able to hang on 15.17 to 13.10. Best – Clarke, Norman, Anderson, Phillips, Beardsley, Adam (OT) and Hay, Hipwell, McGregor, Alexander (3), Quin, Kohler (Monash).

Uni Blues captain, John Kanis, played his 250th game and gained another best on ground vote for his outstanding game. John had joined the Blues from Caulfield Grammarians in 1988 and was a multiple best and fairest winner over the journey.

John was also a prominent State player and had been a fantastic player for the Blues.

30 YEARS AGO – 1982 Ormond (4th) in A Section hurt Old Scotch’s chances of entering the top four with a thrilling victory 17.14 to 17.11. There was never much more than a goal in the match and it was an entertaining affair in front of a good crowd at the E E Gunn Reserve, Best – Morris, McCooke, Bourne (4), P Mehrten, Barnes, Russell (Ormond) and A smith, Fenton, Tallent, Mason, Morgan, Brown (Scotch).

Kew consolidated the fourth position in B Section against bottom placed Old Brighton in B Section 16.16 to 9.13. Best – Smith, Russell, Blay, Busuttil (4), Burden, Casauria (Kew) and Leske, Shepherd, Welsh, James, Cornwell, McMahon (Old Brighton).

40 YEARS AGO – 1972 Old Ivanhoe made the most of their game against bottom placed West Brunswick in E Section 27.19 to 5.11 and in doing so looked certain to finish in the top four. Best – Smith, T Mackenzie, R Gillespie, Walker (10), Steele (5), J Stevens (OI) and Allan, Green, P Heenan, B Ivey, W Ivey, MacGrotty (WB).

North Brunswick won the thriller against St Bedes OC in F Section 10.15 to 10.14, the result meaning that St Bedes became vulnerable in the top four and North Brunswick showed some pride and were keen to move up the ladder. Best – Yerry, Giacobbe, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Handley, B Duncan, Scullin, Butler (Nth B) and Harris, Kurth, Signoretti, Evans, Vaughan, Petrie (StB).

A Section Field Umpires were – John Posetti, Trevor Rowe, Graeme Simpson, Brian Hagarty and Ken Jorgenson. B Section – David Jenkin, Alan Bishop, Bill Mason, Daryl George, David Harradence.

45 YEARS AGO – 1967 Victoria thrashed South Australia 14.16 to 1.4 in the final match of the Amateur Carnival in Launceston.

Best for Victoria were Murphy, Hughes, Ward, McLean, Parkes, Wood.

David Hughes was runner-up to Tasmania’s captain, Bob Newton, for the Grosvenor Medal for the best and fairest player in the Carnival. David had won the trophy in the previous carnival in Adelaide in 1964.

Life Member, Collin McDonald played his 200th game for Ormond. Charles Edelsten and Bill Mumford played their 100th games for National Bank and other ‘centurians’ were Tony Blazey and Tony Fenton (both OGGS players) and Mick Donegan (Power House).

60 YEARS AGO - 1952 The two top teams in B Section met with victory to Ivanhoe (9.7) to Melbourne High School Old Boys’ (9.4). Best – Bob Murray, Bill Clarke and “Bluey” Clarke (Ivanhoe) and Graham Beck, Max Smyth and John Heathcote (MHSOB). Pearse of St Kevins Old boys was the leading goal kicker in the VAFA with 79 goals from 15 games.

In E Section, Old Trinity were fighting relegation with only three wins for the season to date but they met the winless ANZ Bank and made the most of their opportunities with a massive 31.24 to 13.10 victory. Trinity had 19 goals up by half time. Best – O’Shaughnessy (11), Outen, Lockwood, Hazels (8), Beer, A Birrell (Trinity) and Antsis, Edwards, Hume, Murray, O’Brien, O’Bree (ANZ).

In ideal conditions Clayton and Old Geelong put on a classic display in F Section before Clayton finished 1 point ahead at the bell 18.15 to 17.20.

Best – Besley, Macklin, Slink, Swann (7), Rossenlis (4), Begent (Clayton) and Emmett, Johnstone (4), Chirnside, Von Moger, Jewell, O’Shea (Old Geelong).

LET IT RAIN One of the great things about U19s football is that you often get to play at the proper football time of 2pm. This is great for the lads that might have indulged a little more than they should have during the week, providing extra sleeping in time on the Saturday morning. The flipside of course is that there might have been one or possibly two games before your match and on wet days like Saturday you will need a serious drying room to dry up your boots in time for Tuesday’s training.

Of course most players have a couple pairs of boots – although much to the chagrin of more seasoned observers – players these days still don’t have long screw in stops in their selection.

U19 Premier – Close in the battle for 7th None of this was a problem for some of the sides in U19 Premier, most notably De La Salle who managed 25.12 to Fitzroy’s 5.7. James Howard was singling in the rain booting 11 goals in a best on ground display. St Bernards hosted an undermanned University Blacks and the home side extended the margin at every change to win by an even seven goals (Tom Black kicked four). The other games were closer though but still high scoring enough to suggest not all grounds in Melbourne suffer under a heavy watering. University Blues at home went down to St Bedes / Mentone Tigers by 18 points. Old Xaverians played Old Melburnians in Kew, with the home side holding on to win by a couple of goals. The close one of the day was at Camberwell Sports Ground where Old Scotch stormed home in the last quarter to pip Beaumaris by two points. A four goal to one final quarter after a goalless first term saw the Cardinals jump past Beauy to seventh on the ladder.

48

U19 Section 2 – Questions remain Old Brighton handled the wet conditions better than the SKOBS and deserved the win by 58 points. The Skobbers had several key players out and the next game will be a final so anything can happen - don’t write off the Toorak boys just yet but Brighton are back to flag favourites. Caulfield are finding the much needed form at the right time of the season while Old Haileybury hit another flat spot they hit the pedal but there was no power - probably engine trouble. Are the Fields good enough to go past fourth spot though? Old Carey was too strong in most departments to defeat Marcellin by 31 points. An interesting game as Old Trinity search for finals action but Werribee were too strong in the end winning by eight goals – Jaxon Cook was most damaging with four goals for the Tigers whilst Taylor Gale booted three for the men in green.

U19 Section 3 – St Bernards hosted Ormond and did well to defeat the team one above them on the ladder by 31 points. At Gordon Barnard Reserve Old Camberwell inflicted a surprise defeat on Northern Blues by 23 points – James Howells was outstanding booting 6 goals in the low scoring match. After their earlier draw this year Mazenod defeated Collegians second time around to jump to second on the ladder. Whilst over in Essendon PEGS defeated Old Xavs in a battle to determine the best placed side outside the finals positions. James Federico kicked four for the home side whilst Matthew Ferraro was named best in the 89 point win.

Old Geelong hosted Therry Penola at Como Park and in plenty of moisture the Lions had a win to take home with them to the northern suburbs. The 34 point margin in the conditions was a good result for Therry over the second placed OGs. Hayden Rowe was outstanding for the visitors and three goals each to Michael Jacobson and Shae Tatlock were solid contributions. Ivanhoe crossed the West Gate to steal the points by 14 against Williamstown CYMS. Four goals to David Ioannou was matched by Zac Mowat’s work around the ground. Lat Trobe Uni were too strong for MHSOBs. The 50 point margin could have been more if the conditions permitted but it also could have been less – we will never know. What we do know is that La Trobe still need to win all remaining games if they are to play finals.

Twelve different goalkickers most weeks will see you get over the line regardless of the weather. This was the case for St Mary’s Salesian who had the easy kill in Beaumaris this week to keep alive their hopes of finals action. The 120 point win will be a confidence booster but they still remain outside the four. Keeping them at bay are St Bedes / Mentone Tigers who hung on for dear life against Parkdale Vultures to win by 3 points. Peninsula would need a calamitous end to the season to not be playing finals and after defeating top side De La Salle they should be confident heading into the pointy end of the year. The final 33 point margin doesn’t show the great team effort the Pirates. Monash Blues and Hampton Rovers would be happy with wins at this time of the year and it was Blues who saluted by three goals in the 9.20 start at Boss James. Blues won with 19 men which was a good effort, Michael Mckinna the only multiple goalkicker with two.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson

IF THE SHOE FITS Jonno Auditore is doing quite well for himself by supplying runners/boots to a growing group of clientele within the umpiring ranks. Maybe teaching isn’t the career for him after all. Maybe he’s teaching Economics and found a better way to make a few bucks.

Fundraising Raffle Once again, we are holding a raffle as part of our fundraising activities. Only 100 tickets will be sold, at a bargain price of $50 each. First (and only) prize is a ‘bar voucher’ to the tune of $2500, with the rest going to the Association. See Grant, Cam or Schwabbie for tickets. We can organise for the cost of your ticket(s) to come straight out of your monthly pay.

In relation to our Treasurer Dean Schwab, we bid him farewell in a few weeks when he heads off for six months of travelling. Enjoy the trip Schwabbie and we’re sure Jayson Nooy will do a great job as Acting Treasurer in your absence.

Finals news The Finals are not far away so it is important that you give yourself every opportunity of participating in the Finals by getting to training & coaching sessions over the next 6-7 weeks.

All training venues will be updating training attendances and this will have an impact on Finals appointments.

RAIN, HAIL AND SHINE Weather conditions determined results across the board in Round 14, this led to several of the lowest scoring games for many seasons.

Section 1 results reflected the comparative strength of most sides in 2012. My tipping skills were exposed by Williamstown CYMS who proved too strong for bottom side Therry Penola, eventually winning by 54 points. De La Salle suffered another loss when they went down to Old Melburnians by 21 points in a very low scoring game. De La dropped to sixth and has a bye before facing Old Xaverians in the semi finals. Fitzroy started well against North Old Boys / St Pat’s and at quarter time an upset result was on the cards. The Combine clawed their way back and led by the minimum margin at half time.

At the final change they had doubled their lead to two points. Then as has happened in several games this year, Fitzroy was unable to sustain pressure in the final stanza as North Old Boys / St Pat’s powered to victory by 28 points. Ivanhoe versus St Bernard’s was virtually decided in the opening quarter when St Bernard’s kicked nine goals to one.

As the game progressed, St Bernard’s lead continued to increase, finally resting at 115 points at the final siren. Prahran / Assumption issued a warning to their finals opponents.

Playing at Monash University they defeated the Blues by 65 points. Old Xaverians enjoyed the Bye.

too strong for Old Paradians, who lost by 46 points in the early morning match. Richmond Central had mixed results in their double header. The Snakes were defeated by Old Geelong by 45 points; whilst in the afternoon game, the Cardinals had 11 points to spare against Bulleen Templestowe. A week is a long time in football the experts tell us.

Hawthorn found this to be factual when they went from chocolates to boiled lollies against Therry Penola whose 27 point win took them to Section leadership over the vanquished Hawthorn. The Hawk’s solitary goal was in stark contrast to their 31 goal tally in Round 13.

The final round looks to have few surprises to conclude another interesting home and away season. I expect North Old Boys/ St Pat’s to defeat Williamstown CYMS again and to hold third place. Similarly I expect undefeated leaders Old Xaverians to defeat Monash Blues in their early morning match.

Old Melburnians should again defeat Ivanhoe, who are missing their injured stars.

Prahran/ Assumption will endeavour to build percentage at the expense of Fitzroy. The ‘Roys do not have the depth of talent nor the four quarter stamina required to defeat the Four Blues who are finals bound. St Bernard’s should record another convincing win over a keen but unsuccessful Therry Penola. De La Salle have the bye as they prepare for next Sunday.

aberration and should do so by defeating Richmond Snakes. Eley Park travel north west to meet Old Paradians, whose lack of players has hindered their recent progress. Which team to select poses a problem. Home ground advantage is the only reason for my selection of Old Paradians. Richmond Cardinals should be talented enough to defeat Kew at Victoria Park and the Cardinals likely opponent next first ever final with victory over UHS-VU.
