THE BEAUTY OF OUR GAME In my travel around Melbourne last weekend I took in a Division 4 reserves game. I stayed to see the first quarter of the seniors match and a group of young reserves players came over to a car next to me to watch the game. A conversation started with the driver who was a parent and former player at the club. He stated that he watched his club play every week and loved it. “I love the rawness of the matches,” he said, as two players collided in a bump that saw them sprawling on the ground.

At the VAFA Umpires Association Awards night at the MCC Dining Room on Monday, guest speaker Luke Ball said he stood with his school buddy Jobe Watson watching the Club XVIII grand final the previous day at Sportscover Arena and he used the same phrase, “I enjoyed the rawness of the game.” His next sentence was a bit more frightening to other Premier Section clubs in that he would love to join Jobe and his cousin from Sydney, Josh Kennedy and finish off their careers together playing for the Old Xaverians.

I am an avid watcher of all sport but at the moment Australian Rules, and all professional sport for that matter, has lost that rawness. I sense the public is tired of the fact there seem to be more dramas off the field than there are on it. The major issues filling our newspapers are Lance Armstrong’s USADA doping allegations, Travis Cloke’s contract, Brett Ratten’s coaching position, tennis players potentially boycotting the Australian Open and the horse race fixing inquiry involving senior jockeys.

Over the next four weeks you won’t get any better example of sport in its purest form than watching the 100 VAFA teams embark on a premiership campaign. There will not be any discussions of what price you can get if Parkdale Vultures go from Division 2 to Premier C in consecutive years, whether Cam Howat had a drink with his mates at the Barkly on Sunday night or even whether Old Trinity tanked against Uni Blues two weeks back so they could be relegated. There will be no talk from the clubs who missed out on finals action on how they need to find another $50,000 so they can compete. What a relief that our competition doesn’t rely on any outside influences.

I know that the readers of my editorials are already converted to amateur football but at this time of the year on the eve of finals we should celebrate the great game of amateur football.

There are no benefits, no better facilities or coaching panels that differentiate the teams, no salary cap but just twenty-two team-mates who have found their level, be it Premier or Division 4 reserves, trying to achieve something together.

The VAFA relies heavily on the gate receipts for finals but we do endeavour to offer reduced finals for those who watch multiple games. This year for $40 you can purchase a go anywhere finals series ticket that allows entry into all eight days of action across multiple grounds over the four week feast of finals footy. Five dollars a day is huge value for the amount of entertainment provided.

TO FOX OR NOT Apparently winning form is good form and three of the four finalists in Premier adhered to this philosophy with solid wins on the weekend. The one exception was Old Xaverians who came up against fellow finalist De La Salle at the Dairy Bell and were subject to a De La blitz in the first term that has interesting ramifications for the finals in a week’s time. It must be said that had it been De La Salle who surrendered to Old Xavs in a similar manner, the same aspersions would have been cast about them.

Old Xaverians have had a tough run of late thanks to the winter rains and schedule which has seen them play three of four games in bog like conditions. Pretty football had to be sacrificed in favour of kicking off the ground, belting the ball forward and tough tackling heavy football. So when Old Xavs were faced with a wave after wave of running possession football in the opening quarter against De La Salle it was a shock to the system. However the question remains; with nothing to play for other than winning form, how much of Old Xaverians play in recent weeks has been foxing and how much of it is reality? This week’s round 18 preview of the second semi-final should tell us more.

We start the review at Waverly Park where De La Salle put on a clinic in the opening quarter to slam on eight majors to one. Half of the goals came from the boot of Sam Pickett – who ended up with five for the day - and Brett Eddy is starting to move very nicely having missed so much football. To be fair to Old Xavs they managed to bring the game back to relative parity but still only had four goals on the board to three quarter time. A short burst from Xavs to start the final quarter got them to within five goals but it was as close as they got. The Williams boys – Jacob and Sam – Sam Haslem and Jacob Gotch controlled the midfield for most of the day for De La whilst Matt Handley was always a threat up forward for Old Xavs finishing with three of their seven goals.

Old Scotch put any doubts of an implosion to bed early on at University Oval as the Cardinals led Uni Blues by 51 points at half time. The Blues having secured safety the week before, in the opening exchanges played like they had already had their Mad Monday as Scotch pressured them out of possession then executed accurately on the break, showing the 2

confidence of a side on its way to September. Tom McKinley left off from his good form last week and he had good company with Gene Van Den Broek also dominant in midfield. Messrs Passador and Davis kicked three goals each as the Cardinals played quality football throughout.

Collegians have also been building their form into finals like condition and there was no reason to let that form slip as they hosted St Bedes / Mentone Tigers at Harry Trott. After a tight first term the game opened up in the second as Collegians kicked five goals to two for the term. The third quarter was then very interesting as the home side were held goalless, registering just one behind whilst the Tigers got back to within a kick at the final change. The breeze played a part but nothing could stop the torrent of ball coming into the Collegians forward line in the final quarter. The Lions had 16 scoring shots to one kicking 10.6 for the quarter to blow the margin out to 11 goals. Shura Taft and Cam Lee both kicked four each for the home side with Josh Kamenar again playing well off half back. Jaryd Robertson was best for the visitors while Paul Wintle was their only multiple goal kicker.

Caulfield Grammarians had shown some solid form in recent weeks and the feeling was a win was just around the corner. The trip to St Bernards though is never an easy one and so it proved to be. Perhaps the Grammarians thought it would be a little easier having run Old Xavs close the previous week, but no game is easy in Premier and the Snowdogs have a proud record at the Snakepit. Six goals in each of the first two quarters was a great result for the home supporters in their last home game of the year. The goals kept coming after the break with Andrew Merrington on the end of seven goals out of his side’s 20 for the day. Chris Mitchell slotted a lazy six as St Bernards ran out winners by 11 goals.

Something about Old Carey and Old Trinity brings out close matches. Perhaps it’s the neighbourly factor, or perhaps they just match up well. Old Carey were in control for most of the game but an Old Trinity fight back in front of their home fans for the last time in Premier section for at least a season got them to TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Old Carey v De La Salle Caulfield Grammarians v Old Trinity Old Scotch v St Bernards Old Xaverians v Collegians St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v University Blues

within five points of the Panthers. Both sides were flat after the results of the previous week, but perhaps Old Carey had just a fraction more to play for. They lifted enough to win by 15 points, but on checking the live scores app fans of Old Carey would have seen that Old Scotch had beaten Uni Blues. A final bitter pill for the season, the reward is another honourable 5th place for Old Carey in just their second season in Premier.

The team of the year covers all 10 teams from Premier and has a solid mix of dominant backman, big marking forwards, in and under midfields complimenting the players that run all day. Congratulations to those that made it and thank you to all coaching panels that nominated players.

This week: Final round of the season and we bid farewell to six sides from the running, two of who will drop and we say thank you to both Old Trinity and Caulfield Grammarians. Coincidentally they play each other this week and I believe Caulfield will win at home to avoid becoming the seventh side in the top section to have a winless season. De La Salle won’t miss at Old Carey and the Tigers will beat the Blues.

Old Scotch will defeat St Bernards and Old Xavs will beat Collegians because they have to.

LAST CALL As the sky darkens on another home & away season, all will be revealed by 4.30pm Saturday under the neon hue of Live Score apps lighting up footy pavilions everywhere. Smart phone calculators will add to the glow as results and percentages are punched out by nervous fingers, eager to clutch that first post-game bevvy. Can Oakleigh stave off relegation? Can the Bloods pull off a Bradbury-esque slide into the four?

Unlikely, but stranger things have happened on this magical final stage.

After their nine point win over Werribee, Oakleigh are buoyed by the ever-so-slim possibility of swapping relegation honours with the ‘Bees if they can muster a big win over OMs this week (and the ‘Tonners seal Werribee’s fate).

Leading well for most of the game, a last quarter fade was probably typical of the Krusher’s season, but they hung on despite an eight-goal bag by Werribee’s Alex Taylor.

No such hope for the Hoes who suffered a fourteen goal humiliation at home at the hands of Old Haileybury. The brothers Gieschen toiled hard, but were no match for the Bloods who dominated at both ends. Meehan kicked six while Nicolopoulos got creative in the knowledge that it isn’t quite over for the Magentas just yet. A big win over St Kevins (plus a Krusher relegationswitcheroo) could see them sneak into the finals.

Did I actually say this last round was a dead rubber?

St Kevins under 19 players Giarusso and Paul impressed on debut against AJAX, but an otherwise uninspiring performance saw the tri-colours trail by four goals at quarter time.

Routman was electric in his final 2012 game as the Jackas threatened an upset; but SKOB steadied with five in the third to run out 22 point 4

winners. Mmmm, the Bloods just might get a sniff this week.

Delahunty showed versatility in Uni Black’s arm-wrestle with Old Brighton at South Road.

Teammate Lacey kicked a pair in the wind before a clash of heads saw the claret flow from his noggin; thankfully there’s always a Black’s surgeon (or three) on hand with a darning needle. Portelli gave the ‘Tonners good forward impetus through the ruck in the last term and an upset threatened, but the Uni boys hung on by seven points.

The Sharks sent a strong statement to Old Melburnians, the only blemish being inaccuracy (12.23) capping the margin at five goals. Di Natale and Gower kicked four each however, while Batten batted away what he could for the dark blues.

Team of the Year Thanks to those who sent through well considered nominations. The TOTY is always a tight squeeze; blending the consistent with the enigmatic. Surely a true representation has a bit of both, therefore some have missed the cut by the barest of margins.

Best and Fairest Good luck to all clubs competing in finals and farewell to relegated sides - we hope to see you bounce back quickly.

PREMIER C

Simon Fuller

PRESSURE IS ON FOR FINALS SPOTS Just one round left in Premier C and only top spot and relegation is certain, with a mighty struggle still to be played out between Mazenod, PEGS and Old Camberwell for the final spot in the top four.

The Rovers would have given themselves a great chance at scoring that elusive victory against Monash, in their last home game of the season.

But, unfortunately for the home side, they couldn’t get out of the blocks in the first quarter, as the Ashes built a considerable lead, behind the brilliant play of Tim McKenzie. An improved second quarter saw the Rovers creating more opportunities, but failing to convert, going into the rooms with 2.13 on the board. It got worse from there, as the Ashes kept them scoreless in the third, while piling on five goals of their own, to put the result beyond doubt. Ewan Flanagan and Zac Ledin were immense for the Blues, while Leigh Fletcher was BOG in his 150th for the Rovers.

The Vultures were clearly out to make a statement in their final home game for 2012 and Banyule unfortunately was on the receiving end of perhaps the most polished display of football we’ve seen this year. It was all over by quarter time and the margin went past three figures during the third quarter. Matthew Boland was back, kicking six as one of an incredible nine multiple goalkickers.

Mark Kidner had his best game for the year and Charlie Dillon injected a bit of youth into the veteran Parkdale outfit. The Bears struggled to find a consistent avenue to goal, with young Biscuit Tin providing a bright spot.

With both Old Camberwell and Marcellin being on a bit of a roller coaster over the past month, who knew what was going to happen in this clash of traditional AGS rivals? It ended up being Old Camberwell who reversed their recent form, getting on top in the second quarter and keeping the Eagles at bay, to grab a famous victory at Marcellin and keep their finals hopes alive.

Bennett, Kapoor and Hart were the standouts for 6

the visitors, while Jarrod Carlson was at his brilliant best for the Eagles, who are now no certainty to hang on to the double chance.

An incredible game was played out at PEGS, between two teams with everything to play for. It looked like Mazenod was going to close the door on PEGS and Old Camberwell, as they opened up a five goal advantage at quarter time. The home side bounced back in the second, restricting the Nodders to a single point for the stanza and cutting the margin to less than a straight kick.

The tables were turned again after the teams emerged from the changerooms, with Mazenod again skipping away to a 23 point lead at the final change. But, in an amazing final quarter, PEGS banged home eight straight, as the Nodders again went goalless in the final quarter. Brett Hannah has been sensational for PEGS, since coming up from the unders and Chris Goullet was as busy as usual. Byron Bonner did his best to stem the flow, but it just wasn’t enough and the Nodders must regroup in a hurry, in order to book their place in the finals.

Out at Salesian, the game between Rupertswood and Fitzroy played out as you’d expect, when one team is stuck in the middle of the ladder and the other is pushing for a top two spot. Fitzroy was never seriously challenged and kept Rupo scoreless in the second and fourth quarters.

The second term, in particular, wasn’t one for the archives, with just four points added to the scoreboard from quarter time. Matt Kyroussis was outstanding for the Roys with four goals and Jack Dalton was very solid in the win, which leaves TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Banyule v Marcellin Fitzroy v Hampton Rovers Mazenod v Parkdale Vultures Monash Blues v PEGS Old Camberwell v Rupertswood

them just half a percent behind Marcellin for that top two spot. Lachlan Baddeley and Nash Egan were the standouts for Rupo.

This week, Mazenod again just has to win to hang on to fourth spot. Problem is, they’re playing against the Vultures. But I’ve just got a feeling that at home and with Parkdale being locked in to top spot, the Nodders will win this one. PEGS travels to Monash and, if Mazenod slips up, the last finals spot is theirs to lose. They’ll be up for this one and will win well. Old Camberwell will also be playing for a chance at fourth spot and will do the job against Rupertswood at home. Marcellin will beat an undermanned Banyule and Fitzroy will end the Rovers’ very tough season, but even if these games are blowouts, you can be assured that there will be a great deal of interest in the results, to see which team earns the right to meet Parkdale in the finals.

THANK YOU DOLLY Allister “Dolly” Parton will always be remembered as an Old Carey legend and the catalyst in the clubs recent march through the VAFA’s grades, culminating in their historic entry into Premier A grade in 2011. No one player at Old Carey has had such a significant impact on our club, his leadership, motivation, example and commitment. Loved by all at the club and revered by his opponents as a fierce competitor, Dolly will be sadly missed. In true form, Dolly has already committed to the club in an off field role in 2013, so whilst we will miss his customary on field presence we are delighted that Dolly is going to stay involved.

A summation of his football career is full of highlights. In year 11 he won the Carey 1st 18 B & F whilst playing with Oakley Chargers.

In 1999 captained the 1st 18 to Carey’s first APS Premiership and was captain of the APS team. He won another premiership the next year in A Grade as he switched colours to Old Xaverians where he kicked the winning goal in the Grand Final triumph. He played A Section finals for Old Xavs in 2001-2 before returning to Old Carey in 2003 to play finals in Division 2. In 2004 Dolly was made captain of Old Carey and he led them to the Division 2 Grand Final with him being selected in the VAFA representative team that year. As Captain, Dolly led Old Carey to a Division 1 premiership

in 2006 and runners up in Premier C in 2007.

He was again a Big V representative in 2006 where he was Vice Captain. After a short two year stint in the Eastern Football League, Dolly returned to Old Carey in 2010 to be a part of their successful Premier B premiership side. In 2011 Old Carey had their first year in Premier and Dolly finished 4th in the competition B & F. This year a shoulder injury forced his mid season retirement from the game.

A COBRA FOR LIFE David Trinchi played his final game for the Manningham Cobras last week in their Round 18 two point loss to North Brunswick after fifteen years of service to the Club. It was his 259th game and last games and the heartache of the 2 point loss was felt by all. In addition to being a legendary player, David has fulfilled virtually every other role at the Cobras from

office bearer to ground marking. He is a best & fairest winner, member of the team of the decade and a life member of the Club. David is held in the highest esteem by all at the Manningham Cobras and while wishing him well in his retirement we know he won’t be lost to the club.

ACKNOWLEDGING DES Des Blanchfield is a retiring champion of Mazenod Old Collegians Football Club. Des has been a member of the club since it’s inception in 1978 along with wife Trish (canteen) and sons Mark and Darren (boundary umpiring / playing). Des volunteered to take on the ground marking duties in 1994 when the club moved to Central Reserve (near the family home) and over that time Des has spent hours each week doing the rounds of both ovals so the players can take the field. For many years Des and Trish also cleaned the Mazenod clubrooms and ensured the facility was in the best possible condition for all players and supporters. Des has decided to hand over the keys to the line marking machine at the end of 2012, and the club wishes to sincerely thank Des, Trish and family for all they have done for the club.

WEIGHED DOWN BY MEDALS Amidst the celebrations of the Crocs win in the Club XVIII (1) Grand Final on Saturday there was some confusion on the dais as Old Xaverians James McDonnell collected all his medals.

We say all as before Premiership medallions were collected James was presented with the Season Leading Goal Kicker medal, then the Steve Mason Medal for the competition Best and Fairest. James was asked to stay nearby by Norm Nugent as David King and Tony Landringan were called upon to present the King/Landrigan Medal for best on the ground in the Grand Final. Just a few moments later James was called back to the platform to receive the medal most cherished – his premiership medallion.

DIVISION 1

ALL ROADS LEAD TO “SPORTSCOVER” With the weather taking a decidedly spring-like turn for the better, in the air around town we can suddenly detect the whiff of finals. The hard slog of eighteen rounds of preliminaries is over, and now we have arrived at the big show. Let’s be honest; for a number of weeks now the final four has been pretty much cut and dried, with much of the interest centring on whom would be relegated back to Division 2 along with St John’s.

But that early settling of the finals combatants in no way detracts from what promises to be a most intriguing finals series.

The final round of the season threw up some results which were not as easily foreseen as those of previous weeks. Old Geelong probably caused the most raising of eye-brows with their one point defeat of second placed Peninsula at Como. In a cracking game of footy which was worthy of two finals contenders, the Hoops were three points up at the first break, and managed to maintain a narrow lead for most of the day. In the third, Old Geelong should have put the game to bed but were wasteful, booting 4.6. Of course the Pirates only being down by three goals at the final change threw everything at their hosts and almost made them pay, falling short by the narrowest of margins. More than anything else, this win will give the Oggers enormous belief heading into the finals and shows that they are not simply there to make up the numbers.

History will record that Whitefriars had a sound 49-point win over cellar-dwelling St John’s, but the manner of the victory was unconvincing.

Understandably, it could all possibly be put down to the fact that the Friars had their eyes firmly fixed on their semi final appointment at Sportscover. Second and fourth quarter bursts of 8 and 7 goals respectively were enough to 14

secure the points. The NOBs were more ruthless in their disposal of Glen Eira, given that the Saints were playing for their place in this comp.

But the top team simply had too much class, booting 8.6 in the first quarter to effectively end the contest by the first break. Todd Patterson led the way with 5 majors.

Although Old Mentonians have had much to cheer about, their poor back half of the year (two wins from their last ten) continued when they were defeated at home by MHSOB by 10 points. The Unicorns had their share of injury concerns throughout the year, so to finish in fifth place is a creditable effort. Ormond finished the year on a positive note, crushing Williamstown by twelve goals. The best that can be said for Willy’s disappointing season is that they did just enough to stave off relegation.

2nd Semi Preview: I have always to subscribed to the theory that – especially for club administrators – this is the biggest match of the year. Win this one and you are up into the Premier grades; a huge relief, and vindication of all the hard work on and off the field. Lose this, and it is back to sudden-death! North Old Boys – St Patrick’s have been the most consistent team of the home and away rounds. True, their percentage is some 50 points shy of their opponents, but they have been much steadier, losing only one match (way back in round 2).

That the loss was by 88 points to Peninsula only further whets the appetite for this match. When TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD

the Pirates win, they win big! But last year’s finals disappointment may have steeled the NOBs veterans for one last almighty crack at it in 2012, and I think they will prevail. If conditions are fine, it promises to be a fantastic, high scoring encounter.

season due to a frustratingly long injury list. The Friars have rarely seen all of their best cattle on the park at the same time. Although Old Geelong copped a 43-point win caning from Friars only a fortnight ago, both teams will front up this week-end with a number of different personnel.

Indeed, the Friars’ line-up could feature up to seven changes. But I feel OGs are hitting peak form at the right time and I am narrowly tipping them to continue on to the preliminary final.

Relegation: Here’s hoping that both Glen Eira and St John’s OC can have big pre-seasons and bounce back from the disappointments of 2012.

A SWAN SONG

Continuing their incredible record at East Caulfield Reserve, the Gryphons surprised Old Paradians by 38 points, Kye Cherien was sensational with three goals for the Gryphs while Daniel Spitty was back to his scintillating best for the travelling side. With the scalps of Prahran, Eltham, and now Old Paradians to their name, there was a chorus of relief that Monash won’t be competing in this year’s finals series.

counterparts, La Trobe found the going tough against the minor premiers in Bulleen Templestowe. Using the game to finetune their tactics for the subsequent finals, the tenacious running and delicate foot skills, now synonymous with Bulleen Templestowe were at the fore, impressing the strong crowd in lovely conditions. Kristian Cherbakof demonstrated why he is one of the most highly touted players in the competition while David Florance stepped out of his namesake in David with a best afield performance. For La Trobe, it was David Hacker and Stuart Patten that impressed.

In another surprise upset, it was the battle of the spear heads at Ferndale Park, James Rogers kicking seven for St Mary’s, only to be matched by eight majors from Therry Penola’s Carey Bannister. Unfortunately for the Lions, the eight wouldn’t be enough, going down by 17. Joining Rogers in the best for the Saints was Heath Chipperfield and team of the year wingman David West while for Therry, Mitchell Trimble and Mark Faroldi were suitable sidekicks for Bannister.

Despite leaving Eltham without the points, South Melbourne continued their purple patch of form, managing to stay within an arms reach of Eltham throughout the match. As mentioned, Seb Ciavola was sensational, kicking 5, earning him best afield honours and the competition goal kicking award and was assisted by Tim Woods and Bryan Galvin. For the Bloods, Gary Simm, Charles McKay and Elliot Costello all stood tall.

With the ladder squared away coming into the final round, round 18 acted as a swan song for six sides and a vehicle for experimental game plans for four clubs.

While he may be putting on a brave face, whispers coming from Prahran-Assumption are that Adam Sleight is absolutely gutted that Sab Ciavola pinched the leading goal kicker award from his weathered dukes on Saturday. So much so, to avoid further heartbreak, is floating a change in codes to the round ball next year.

Nonetheless, the skipper was sensational on Saturday as he and his lads dismantled the now demoted Emmaus St Leos. Blayne Dempsey and Dale Battett impressed the Prahran faithful and likewise Timothy McCann and the petite Paul Barranello for Emmaus St Leo’s.

In near identical circumstances to their demoted 16

DIVISION 3

NO TIME FOR DREAMING After 18 weeks the final five is set. So, if the Bears beat the Bloods and Ivanhoe beats Uni High in the Amateur Division 3 elimination final, then Kew goes to the Grand final, unless Aquinas can upset Yarra Valley and Ivanhoe ties Uni, then Kew would play Aquinas and the Bushrangers in a blind choice round robin. And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned. Alas into last week’s fixtures.

22.20 plays 6.4 read the Brens Oval Scoreboard at half five on Saturday afternoon. Another annihilation Division 3 has witnessed. Fitting I suppose that it was Old Westbourne getting a footy lesson from the Uni lads. It was a nonevent really. Uni High was too good from start to finish.

Yarra Valley’s search for that heart of gold was in no way dissolved, as they sent Aquinas packing with their tails between their legs. The powerful Bushrangers led at every change. The game being over at halftime when they pulled away to a 43-point lead. However there’s no time for dreaming, Yarra must still get up and do there thing when it counts.

Albert Park hosted Richmond with only pride on the line. The two teams played a very competitive game under the circumstances, as it was not as if the world was going up in flames for the loser. Richmond has shown they belong in Div three and while Albert Park had a disappointing season, both sides will be better for the run in 2012.

Elsternwick needed a win to keep their finals hopes alive. It was always going to be a tough ask against Ivanhoe though. It proved 20

a mountain to high for the Wicks, as Ivanhoe cruised home to an 11-point win. After being named in the team of the year, Ryan Fort’s head has grown a substantial amount, but when he booted a real dirty drop kick bung from 50 metres out and it dribbled through about 25 players to score the maximum, his head almost blew off.

Powerhouse caused an upset of sorts when they defeated Hawthorn. After 16 rounds of singing “Why is it so hard, to make it in D3”, they have come out and won two of their last three.

Too little too late for the House, they will still be relegated to D4 where they should have more success. Hawthorn will be joining them, this game is sure to spark some fire in the belly for 2013.

There was more heartache and pain for St. Francis Xavier. After a brilliant start to the year they have fallen away substantially. This week it was Kew that inflicted the damage. To be honest Kew had so much more to play for, with a finals birth on the line. The Bears played accordingly, after a tight first quarter they flew home.

This week: As you can probably tell I still haven’t figured out how the top five finals system works.

What I do know is that Ivanhoe will be facing UHS-VU in a qualifying final, while Aquinas play Kew in the elimination final.

Both games are absolute pearlers. I have spent TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD

a lot of time this weekend going through piles and piles of data to try and find a winner. After hours of tossing and turning thinking about each side’s strengths and weaknesses I came up with this at about 3am last night, Ivanhoe will have too much firepower up forward for Uni and Kew to cause a massive upset over Aquinas. I don’t know why.

Again to the teams departing, thank you for a great season of football. Good Luck next year.

DIVISION 4

Josh Gabelich

FINALS TIME After eighteen weeks of a long arduous winter campaign, we are finally on the eve of the division four final series. As predicted a few months ago, the best four sides in the section will battle it out in September starting this weekend. South Mornington who suffered just their second loss of the season on the weekend, Swinburne Uni, the side that defeated the Tigers in a nail biter, Point Cook and Eley Park are the four sides whose seasons are still alive.

For the remaining six sides of Division Four, their off season’s are probably already in full swing with plans of travel and Saturday’s spent away from a football ground more at the top of their wish lists. With the fate of our final’s aspirants sealed a long time ago, there was not much to play for in the final month of the season.

The home and away season has been predictable at times, but as I’ve mentioned throughout season 2012, football is a funny game and the seemingly unpredictable can happen. Less than two months ago it appeared that there was only one team that could win the flag in 2012. South Mornington had won the opening twelve games and looked unstoppable. After the weekend’s one point loss to the Razorbacks, the Tigers have lost their aura. No longer are they feared. Swinburne Uni are the form side entering September and South Mornington will have to rekindle their best form if they are going to even reach the Grand Final and ensure promotion into the next grade.

In one of their more impressive outings of the year, Chadstone booted sixteen goals before eventually going down to Box Hill North by 40 points. The Synners remained in the contest until the beginning of the final term, where the Demons kicked away from the home side with six goals to two in the final quarter. Dan Penny continued his rich vein of form to finish the season on a high with a bag of six majors which 22

included a little bit of everything including a miraculous snap over his right shoulder with his back facing the goals. Damon Cuming was the stand out for the home team with four goals and a mob of contested marks to go with them.

Heading into next year, the Synners will be determined to build on their impressive second half of the season.

In the battle for fifth spot, Manningham blew a four goal lead to go down in one of the games of the year by two points. With bragging rights at stake, the Bulls were determined to finish the season on a high and a four goal (and eight behind) last quarter ensured that they would.

The Cobras have been one of the stories of the year after climbing from ninth spot last year to be a genuine challenger week in week out. Whilst consistency has been their downfall at times, no one could question their flair and entertaining brand of football played. Steve Rose was best afield for the home side and Tarek Moughanie was brilliant up forward with five majors. Tom Leary got the job done for the boys in green and gold.

A 155 point victory should be just the medicine to bring some confidence into the finals series for the Bulldogs. Saturday’s demolition of Mt Lilydale highlighted Point Cook’s capacity to score heavily and could be a sign of things to come. Bags of goals from Ricky Munn 6, Brayden Lucas 5 and Aaron Marsh 5 were the main reasons for the annihilation. In what has been a very disappointing season for the Rams, Russell Strong was once again one of too few to get his hands dirty. I’m predicting a tough pre season will be meeting the Mt Lilydale outfit as they lick their wounds after a disappointing 2012 campaign.

as the two teams most likely to reach the big dance and not much has changed since then. On Saturday, South Mornington jumped out of the blocks to lead the home team by five goals at the first break. From there onwards things were much tighter, however the Tigers remained in front up until the final term as the students stole a victory that shouldn’t have been theirs. The result ensures that next week’s game, where they meet for a spot in the Grand Final, will be fiercely contested and could be the game of the season.

Eley Park finished the home and away season in devastating form, knocking off West Brunswick by 78 points in sensational fashion. The Sharks victory was never in doubt as they got on top of their opponents early and never looked troubled in their rout. David Bennet was in scintillating form for the home side and he fed the footy to Jon Edlich on several occasions who finished the game with five majors. Jimmy Forbes and Joel

Beer were everywhere for the Magpies collecting disposals at will.

Today: The time has finally come and we have known who is playing who for a long time now.

Swinburne Uni and South Mornington will fight first to determine who goes through to the Grand Final. It’s hard to read much into last weeks form but winning form is good form and the Tigers have been shaky of late so I’m predicting the Razorbacks to get the job done in a tight tussle.

In the elimination final Eley Park should have the Bulldogs covered but deciding finals can deliver inspired efforts. Time will tell whether or not either of these predictions were on the money.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012 DAVID WALL - ST BERNARDS A former TAC Cup and VFL player, David plays as a medium lead up forward with the flexibility to push up into the midfield.

With exceptional leg speed, a rare ability to read the play and adept body positioning David is rarely beaten in a one on one contest. In the first half of the season David was joint leading goal kicker in Under 19 premier division, before a call up to the seniors in round 11 vs. Old Xaverians. David played as a wingman/ forward in the seniors and quickly adjusted to the pace of play often winning contests and marking against larger opponents.

His excellent goal kicking technique see’s David get full reward for his efforts, putting scoreboard pressure on the opposition.

In more recent weeks David has again been a key player and strong on field leader, back in the Under 19 Premier team as it pushes into finals. * to be eligible for the club Warehouse

A great club man and former student of the college, David is a Rising Star, a player must be born no quality sharp shooter and is integral to the success of St Bernards earlier than 1991 and playing his first full season of senior football. in the under 19 premier division in 2012

VAFA ELASTOPLAST TRAINER OF THE WEEK LAUREN ROSS - AJAX FC The AJAX football club has received positive feedback on Lauren throughout the season (from their head physio and other trainers). It is great to have someone of her caliber on the training staff.

She is dedicated, motivated and shows great enthusiasm! She goes out of her way to help others and is always happy to replace a trainer that pulls out or come to training nights after a busy day on physio placement.

She is punctual, organised and responsible. Congratulations Lauren from all at AJAX. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Geoff Reilley

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011 In Premier A Section Old Trinity and Uni Blues staged an exciting draw 14.10 each but fortunately for the Blues, De La Salle went down to Old Scotch 10.13 to 14.17 thereby allowing the Uni boys to hold their position in the top four. Trinity and the Blues had also been level at three quarter time.

Best – Howell, Clarke, Pacconi, Walsh, Butler, Banfield (OT) and Watts, Shaw, Monteith, Toulmin, Mugavin, Torney (Blues).

5 YEARS AGO – 2007 Old Brighton finished off a good home and away season in A Section with a resounding victory over Old Trinity 22.16 to 9.8 and finished in second place thereby fixing a date to play Old Xaverians in the second semi final. Best – Clark (3), Jakobi, Talbot, Ainley, Pirrie (7), Perrett (OB) and Cultrera (6), Hillas, Troon, Ramsden, Pedro, Osborn (OT).

In B Section, AJAX led Old Melburnians for most of the game in a crucial contest in relation to relegation. Unfortunately for AJAX they were not ahead at the final siren (13.17 to 13.19) and were 42

relegated as a result of the 2-point loss, Beaumaris being the fortunate team to escape going down.

With both sides missing crucial shots on goal in the final term, the AJAX boys were gutted.

Best – Paule, Righetti (3), Lawler, Russell, Prouse, Wilmoth (OM’s) and Lewski, Wollner, Segal, Jankie, Chester, Sutton (AJAX).

Leading the goal kickers in A Section was Andy Cultrera (Old Trinity) with 62 goals while Brett Sinclair Caulfield Grammarians) led B Section with 78 goals).

of finals when they demolished Thomastown 21.7 to 10.14 in a polished display in the ordinary conditions. Their 5 goals into the wind in the first quarter was the catalyst and they continue to kick superbly in the windy conditions all day.

Best – Beare (5), Short, Cloke C Jackson, Linford, Andrews (Comm Bank) and Theodorou, A Fellows, D Fellows, S Plant, C Plant, Hart (Thomastown).

In D Section, in what had been a most interesting and competitive seasons for many years, Hampton Rovers and Old Camberwell could consider themselves very unlucky to be relegated as they had won 6 and 5 games respectively.

Old Camberwell pushed Caulfield Grammarians all the way before succumbing 14.8 to 13.20.

Best – Jakovceski, Purcell, Egan, Graziosi, Wood, Palmer (Coburg) and D Steven, Loft (3), Rogers, McRae, Jenkins, Inkster (Old Camberwell).

The final home and away game in D Section between Parkside and St Pius was a typically tough affair but Parkside did it comfortably in the end 16.10 to 10.17 and finished in second place whilst St Pius had to be content with third place. Best – K Howell, Jamieson, Arnold, M Ware, Freeman (3), Griffiths (Parkside). St Pius failed to lodge their details in time!

40 YEARS AGO – 1972 It was a real turn up in E Section when ANZ Bank defeated top team Marcellin Old Collegians 17.13 to 16.5. But even this accomplishment by ANZ did not save them from relegation. ANZ started better but trailed for the next two quarters before unleashing a five goal last quarter to take the points. Best – Dancer (7), R A Watson, Male, Green, Kelly, Jackson (ANZ) and Butler (4), Delmo, Power, Shaw, Quinn, J Gartner (Marcellin).

UNDER 19

Andrew Leonard

AND THEN THERE WERE 20 To say that there are still 20 teams left in Under 19 competitions sounds like you could run another season with each side playing each other once. Finals are like another season as the 20 sides try to reposition themselves for a tilt at one of the five premierships up for grabs at U19 level. Injuries and player availability are a major concern but there is no doubt that the pressure and commitment of everyone goes up a notch or three come finals time. If you beat a side by 10 goals two weeks ago then forget it this weekend.

You season will be defined by what happens over the next three weeks, not the past 18. After that little rev-up we better just remind ourselves what happened in the final round of the season.

U19 Premier – A Black Day A strange twist of fate saw the top two in the section line up against each other in the final round for a spot of shadow boxing before meeting again the following week in a second semi-final. De La Salle and Old Xaverians kicked the dew off Waverly Park before their respective reserve and senior sides did battle. There was a point the difference at half time but five goals to two from the visitors in the third was all they needed with that difference being the final margin at the end. Nick Sharkey kicked a handful for Old Xavs whilst Sefton McGraw was doing good things for De La. There was another case of the draw throwing up a curly one, as St Bernards (third) played St Bedes/Mentone Tigers (fourth).

Matt Hutchesson kicked four for the Snowpups and was best on ground for his efforts. St Bedes/ Mentone will want a better start than giving up a 28 quarter time lead when these two clash next week. Old Melburnians celebrated the end of their campaign with a 115 point win over Beaumaris. A staggering 17 players kicked goals for the OMs in a brilliant team display. Old Scotch defeated University Blues at Crawford Oval. The Blues were 46

fifth for most of the year but with nothing much to play for other than pride a first quarter lapse saw them 35 points down at the first bell. When the final margin was just 37, it makes you wonder how many other times a quarter lapse cost them this year. Uni Blacks won their first game of the year defeating second bottom Fitzroy in the final round of the season. The win wasn’t enough to get them off the bottom but it was enough whet the appetite of the players over the summer.

U19 Section 2 – Ace in the hole Beware of the teams that play dead a week out from the finals. At least that is what you would be telling your side if you were coming up against St Kevins and Old Brighton – good thing they play each other then. St Kevins suffered at the hands of Werribee Districts with the Tigers putting 18 goals past the Skobbers in their 12 goal win.

Jaxon Cooke kicked four goals with a host of others getting in on the act as well. St Kevins will need to bounce back next week if they are to do any damage in September. Werribee face a Caulfield side in a knock out semi final after the Fielders had a win of the same magnitude, albeit against an injury ravaged Old Carey. Nick Tonkin (6) and Fred Cooper (4) slotted 10 between them in the 78 point win. Old Haileybury bid farewell to 2012 in style with a 74 point win over Marcellin.

Matt Mitchell bagged seven goals and Mat Shill 2 and a heap of footy for the Bloods. Old Trinity’s season ended with a spirited 10 point loss to the ladder leaders Old Brighton. Oscar Fairweather was great for the OTs, kicking two goals as well, but Brighton led at every change in the low scoring contest. Having said that, there is much to improve on for this week’s semi-final.

The Phantom says: The last round was a bunch of 10’s for the top sides- Old Brighton just gets up against Old Trinity by around 10 points and the Skobbers were beaten by 10 goals plus at Werribee. It means a very interesting week next week. Old Brighton have some questions and St Kevins have a few more? Other results - Old Haileybury finished well over Marcellin and THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Caulfield were too good against a depleted Old Carey.

U19 Section 3 – Following in the footsteps Ormond thrashed Old Xavs ended the season in style to record their fourth win of the campaign.

Sam Stait slotted six goals as the Monders piled on seven goals to two in the final term to win by 68 points. Mazenod ensure they would head into finals with good form with a 56 point win over St Bernards. Old Camberwell defeated PEGS to also carry winning form into September. Carey McLaughlin and Jackson Hrbek found plenty of footy in the 29 point win. Collegians upset the apple cart with doubling the scores of Northern Blues to send a message to the final four. Sam Hibbins dominated play and kicked four goals whilst Steve Maidera wasn’t bad either for the Lions. The loss means Blues give up top spot and they will need to turn things around when they face Mazenod in the second semi-final this week.

Collegians will need to win three finals to secure a premiership but with the talent at their disposal it is not beyond them. Can they take the lead from their senior side to find a way to September success?

U19 North – Flirting with form?

Another team that could do some damage from outside the top two is Old Geelong as they showed the sort of form that could have them challenge for a flag when they defeated ladder leaders Ivanhoe by five goals. Ivanhoe may have been going through the motions but the OGs had 24 scoring shots to the Hoes 14. Williamstown CYMS didn’t flirt with their form crushing La Trobe Uni by 92 points. Four goals each to Matt Singleton and Ryan Joy were the major scoring contributions but Yuma Hemphill’s performance stood out as he also slotted a couple of goals.

La Trobe were the best of the rest and will have something to build on for next year. Therry Penola also took no chances in their 161 point demolition of MHSOB. Brock Egglestone and Jonathon Tonna both kicked four in the rout.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

U19 South De La Salle held Beaumaris scoreless for three quarters in a 151 point win. Fortunately for Beauy their 1.1 was on the board in the first term. An incredible 19 players kicked a goal in the win for De La (would love to know if that is a record?). St Bedes/Mentone Tigers had a 44 point win over Monash Blues at Brindisi Street. Jordan Young slotted six goals and Jack Pollard was very good for the home side whilst Tom Ruddell for Blues had a fine afternoon. Hampton Rovers ran St Mary’s Salesian close going down by 15 points at Boss James but they couldn’t stop the Saints’ Nick Alexopoulos who kicked five goals and was the difference between the sides. Peninsula played out a tense battle exchanging the lead with Parkdale multiple times throughout the afternoon before triumphing by 16 points.

These sides could meet again in the finals in the coming weeks but on neutral territory, how much advantage the Pirates get at home remains to be seen.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson

AND THE WINNER IS… The VAFAUA’s big Pre-finals dinner was held last Monday night at the MCG Members’ Dining Room and once again was a resounding success. To attain a record crowd of over 330 members and guests was a sensational effort by our President Luke Holmes and his event coordinator Russell Davidson. The video highlights were a great hit and had the crowd in stitches at times. The crowd was also entertained by Collingwood player Luke Ball who no doubt gained some insight into the umpiring world.

As well as the guest speaker being a highlight, our major awards for 2012 were presented as follows: Golden Whistle Award (provided by the AFL and is presented as an encouragement award to an umpire who is identified as having the potential to umpire at the highest level.) – Matthew Dervan (goal).

Most Improved Field Umpire – Sean Scully junior.

Most Improved Boundary Umpire – Mitchell Jones.

Most Improved Goal Umpire – Ray Stokes.

Young Achiever Award (presented to an umpire under the age of 20 who regularly attends training and meetings, shows improvement throughout the year and mixes well with the umpiring group.)

– field umpire Nathan Morton .

Best First Year Umpire (presented to a first year umpire who has natural umpiring ability, a desire to learn and a commitment to the umpiring group.) – This year we had a tie between field umpire Ben La Vale and boundary umpire Leigh Saunders.

Andy Carrick Award (presented to a member of the VAFA Umpires Association who does not reach the higher sections but still performs admirably each week throughout the season in the spirit of the late and great loveable rogue Andy Carrick) – Paul Tuppen.

54

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. The award is presented to a member of the VAFA Umpires Association who provides exceptional service to the Association – Wayne Hinton .

Commitment to the VAFAUA Award – John Bradford from our Werribee group.

This year we had no nominations for Life Membership.

A fantastic night when the VAFAUA puts itself on show - now for the finals!!

Wet track After a horrendous few weeks weather-wise it was fantastic to be back on dry hard grounds last weekend. This would also refer to car parks, just ask Jayson Nooy who had a little wet track issue at Mazenod’s Central Reserve a few weeks ago. On arrival at the ground he parked his fully sick Commodore on a grassed area only to find that the wheels were spinning and he wasn’t going anywhere fast. He had a game of footy to umpire so he had to leave it there. But after the game, a big thank you to to eight or so Mazenod players (already covered in mud from playing) who banded together to wrench the car free. Not sure if he adjusted the votes to ensure those boys were looked after.

Harris Family Butchers Don’t forget our sponsors who always do a sensational job in supplying our barby meat at our functions and meetings. Go down and visit them at 73 Mackie Road East Bentleigh and they’ll look after you.

Personal Mortgage Managers For all your buying and selling needs in the real estate world, enlist the help of long-time sponsor Anthony Damen who will certainly do the right thing for you.

REVIEW OF 2012 GRAND FINALS The curtain fell on another successful Club XVIII season with the playing of the two Sectional Grand Finals last Sunday at Sportscover Arena.

The ground was in excellent condition despite the recent monsoonal rains that Melbourne has experienced.

In Section 1, Old Xaverians regained the premiership cup which they had surrendered to De La Salle in 2011, with a convincing 64 point win over Old Melburnians. The Xaverians have built an enviable record in this competition with sixteen premiership victories since 1992. This was their twentieth Grand Final appearance since 1992. Their single blemish was in 2009 when they finished fourth.

The Xaverians set up their 2012 success when they held Old Melburnians scoreless in the first quarter and led by twenty seven points at the first change. Although inaccuracy in front of goal marred the Xaverian’s second quarter efforts, they led by thirty one points at the long interval.

Old Melburnians rallied in the third quarter and outscored their opponents whose lead was trimmed to 27 points at the last change. The last quarter, despite a hiatus of 8 minutes for injury, was dominated by Old Xaverians. They held Old Melburnians scoreless until the last few seconds while adding another six goals themselves to build their lead at the final siren over 10 goals. Old Xaverians become the premiers and champions of Section 1 in 2012.

Key Old Xaverian forward, James McDonnell had a day to remember as in addition to his Premiership medallion, he collected the King – Landrigan Medal for being named best player in the Grand Final and the Steve Mason Medal for being chosen as the Fairest and Best player in the competition in 2012. Although disappointed with the result in the Grand Final, Old Melburnians can be pleased with their overall efforts in 2012.

There is no doubt that they were the major threat 60

to Old Xaverians throughout the season.

Old Geelong have competed in the Club XVIII for over twenty seasons and were finally rewarded with premiership success when they convincingly outplayed Hawthorn to record a 53 point victory. The opening quarter provided an even contest with the scores level at the first change. Inaccuracy prevented a bigger half time lead for Old Geelong, who went in with a slender nine point lead. Hawthorn started the second half with enthusiasm and kept the ball in their forward line for many minutes. This was a pyrrhic rally as Hawthorn added a single goal before Old Geelong regained their momentum and added four unanswered goals to give themselves a 31 point buffer at three quarter time. In the last quarter, Hawthorn could muster little resistance as Old Geelong continued to build their lead until the final siren sounded to signify Old Geelong’s first Club XVIII premiership.

Tom Waters of Old Geelong was adjudged best player in the Grand Final. Another to play well for the premiers was tall American ruckman Zac Taylor (like his 19th century namesake the 12th US President, Zac played like a leader of men), he consistently won hit outs and marked well around the ground. It was another disappointing Grand Final for Hawthorn who enjoyed a successful season despite losing their second consecutive Grand Final. Their club received a boost with two of their players tying for the competition Fairest and Best player; Nicholas Criticos and Constantinos Terzoglou congratulations on great seasons. Raymond Steer from Therry Penola was presented with his award for being the section’s leading goal kicker. It is now time for me to lay down my pen and to read the offerings of my literary colleagues and to hope our editor will call me forth in April 2013.
