VAFA UMPIRE APPRECIATION DAY I have been here for a few years now but it never ceases to amaze me the numbers of umpires required to fill all our needs each weekend. There is an incredible amount of hard work that goes on just to allocate the umpires, let alone coaching and reviewing each match. This is a twelve month a year operation that costs the Association in excess of $680,000 last year.

One weekend each year we show our support to the umpires at both the AFL and community football level. This initiative was instigated by the VAFA’s very own Williamstown CYMS and we ask all the players, club officials and spectators to acknowledge their efforts this weekend.

Prior to the 2:00 matches, the players from the competing clubs and the players from the reserves match will acknowledge the umpires by standing together as they walk onto the arena.

Both club captains and coaches will shake the umpires’ hand on behalf of their respective teams and the toss will be made.

The VAFA is without peer as the leading developmental competition in Australia providing numerous opportunities at the AFL and VFL level. Our two shining lights at the AFL are field umpires Chris Donlon and Simon Meredith.

Chris umpired the 2011 AFL Grand Final and Simon the preliminary and semi-finals. They umpired together in last Wednesday’s Anzac Day Blockbuster between Collingwood and Essendon.

At the VFL level in 2011, the VAFA provided a field umpire and both goal umpires in the Grand Final whilst we were represented at the TAC Grand Final with a boundary umpire. Over the last ten years we have sent 18 umpires to the elite programs.

What a tremendous pathway for our umpires, who know that if they have ambitions in this area, the VAFA will send them down the right track.

We can all play our part in ensuring that we get the best quality umpires who feel safe when they walk on the ground each weekend. Sure, we need crowd involvement but there is a line in our competition that everyone knows and only a few cross. Umpires often speak to me saying how the water boys from the clubs always offer them a drink, or the trainers assist if there are any emergency requirements.

I was at South Melbourne Districts last weekend when the goal umpire went down with a calf and was obviously struggling. Immediately their trainer was there to assist and normal goal umpire who was relieved of his duties for one week offered his services. We have a great community of people who are always willing to help.

The person who occasionally lets the team down is the one who has them most eyes trained on them and that is the coaches. They are the match day leader at their club and iit can be disappointing that we apply strenuous rules to our players on the field yet the ones who occasionally lack discipline are the ones not even in the battle.

From my observations those coaches who get involved with the umpires quickly lose the respect of their players on the ground and the supporters who view their irrational behaviour.

The new coaches at AFL level that are in control of their emotions will be the ones that succeed.

Those who look to blame others or act in a frustrated aggressive manner will not last.

At the end of the game let’s all join together for a celebratory and recognise the great efforts that our umpires do in providing a game of football to our 5,500 players that suit up each week.

EARLY DECISIONS No last minute heroics were necessary in R2, with Dame Fortune having smiled on some well before final sirens sounded around the five Premier venues. There was no absence of drama, however, as the largest margin of the afternoon was 25 points – at the Snakepit where St Bernard’s recovered from a half time deficit against the Ts and at Glenhuntly where Old Carey maintained its half-time grip on the Fieldsmen.

University Blues went down to Xavs at Toorak Park by an even three goals. It trailed by six goals at quarter-time and had the Red and Blacks been more judicious with their ball-use, it might have been ten or more. Matthew Handley, Josh Agius and Pat Ambrose dominated the opening stanza as the Varsity, pressing hard, left themselves exposed to the fast break and paid the price. Blues had a better second term and an even better third, as Xavs reverted to the “entitlement” football that they played in the final six quarters of their 2011 campaign. Blues coach Fergus Watts rated his team a chance at the lemons, but despite a breeze at their backs, it was the home team who dominated for most of the quarter, with Tom Carey marking and kicking the sealer as the clock ticked into time-on. Josh Caldow, who had a summer run with Xavs, booted four goals in a strong display for Blues, Charles Shaw did everything asked of him and Jack Watts was in the sort of form that had plenty asking why his opponents would kick it anywhere near him.

Dean Anderson and Mick Dwyer have had a strong association through Big V football, but they were in opposing dugouts as the Cardinals hosted the Brindisians. In R1, each team’s result had been decided at the last and this game looked a beauty. Anderson and his co-conspirator Stuey Powell won plaudits for Scotch’s R1 effort and again they flowed when the Cards trotted out to a handy lead. But there’s something about those Seasiders that prevents them giving in. They came back to make it a contest. Again, Scotch kicked away and again the Tiges roared back, before Rich Eva kicked an impossible goal and the home team 2

finally finished the business it had begun. Hamish Dick was the unanimous choice as BOG. The Hammer has been at his best playing in defence and is combining well with a backline that seems settled and assured. Shane Neaves gave plenty in the ruck, while Lachy Hill again showed some star quality. For the Tigers, who just don’t quit, Patrick Kean lived up to his coach’s pre-season wrap, while Michael Curcio and George Rowlands provided strong avenues to goal.

It was hardly a goalfest at Glenhuntly, which might not have bothered the Caulfield faithful had the Fieldsmen kicked a few more themselves.

One goal before the long break was not a great start and while the home guard stood firm against the invasion, the counter-thrust was not effective. Holding the onslaught to nine goals on a pleasant afternoon seemed a wasted effort when the Fieldsmen managed only five. Of the visitors, Panther debutant Nick Richardson had his admirers and then there was always the class of Cam Howat, Ben Smithwick and Julian Rowe.

For the vanquished, Tim Nixon shone in just his second senor outing, and the inexperienced Ben Price stood tall.

Collegians managed a home win against De La Salle for the first time since 2008. With their premiership flag fluttering in the breeze, after a sold-right-out lunch, it wasn’t a bad day all round for the Lions. Nick Sautner kicked four, while at the other end, Stu Inglis was miserly. Charlie Simmons was prominent in dispatches. The premiers began the better and held DLS at arm’s length all afternoon. Jake Gotch and Aaron Shields were grand midfielders, the youngster Hugh Nicholson also impressed and Frankie Pickett looked ominous at times.

After a six goal second term haul, Old Trinity held the lead at St Bernard’s as the players headed for the half-time homily. That sort of behaviour has not traditionally been tolerated by the Snow Dogs, and the home team responded with a blistering TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Collegians v Old Trinity De La Salle v St Bedes / Mentone Tigers Old Carey v St Bernards Old Scotch v Old Xaverians University Blues v Caulfield Grammarians

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY

nine goal third stanza that left the Greens floundering. The Bernies had eleven goalscorers, Andrew Merrington and Alex Singleton booting four each, while Andrew Ramsden nailed five for the Ts, assisted by Matt Brown with four. Singleton was consensus best afield, with strong efforts from Andy van Meel and Michael Sullivan. Trinity will rue its third term, though the efforts of newbies Will Oldfield and Nick Chamberlain will have been appreciated by those looking for positives on the drive home.

TODAY: Uni Blues meet Caulfield Grammarians at Elsternwick for the Kanis Cup. The Fieldsmen will need to be near their best to topple the Varsity on the Sportscover expanse, though it will be interesting to watch the press on the big ground.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Collegians, loaded with class all over the ground, should beat Old Trinity at the Trott. De La Salle hosts the Brindisians and expect a close one. These are always hard-fought contests and there will be a fair bit riding on this game. Carey is back home for the first time this year and Bernies drop by to see if they can stay unbeaten. Methinks this will be a tough assignment. The young Old Scotch meets its bogey side Old Xaverians and if ever the time appeared ripe for an upset, this is it. Then again, it seems we’ve been saying this for quite a while.

PREMIER B

SNAKES AND LADDERS After two rounds we have three undefeated teams, three teams without a win, and the middle four sitting at one-and-one. Interestingly, none play within their own group today, so we may have to wait another week or so to get a clearer picture of the form line, particularly that middle set. Last week’s results had none of round one’s cliff-hangers, in fact a couple of blow-outs seem to have put paid to the boa-like constriction of the ladder that has been a trademark of the Premier B competition in recent years. Mind you, it is only round three.

Oakleigh struggled to match it with the much improved Sharks at Banksia Park, who made best use of the ball in the first half where the game was effectively won. Unable to muster a multiple goal scorer, the Krushers fell further behind at each change as Beauy full back Lachie Boyd punched and repelled at will, along with Alex Bennett across half-back. On-baller Tom Dean was again influential, while the irrepressible Scott Gower snagged a lazy five. The Oaks had solid workhorses in brothers Tim and Steve Doherty along with new guy Kev Holden, but needed a chop out pretty much all across the ground, going down by a disappointing 77 points.

Another weighty scoreline was heaped upon Old Ivanhoe at T H King Oval as St Kevin’s delivered a methodical, high pressure demolition to run out 92 point victors. With Weatherly and Fragiacomo amputated from the forward line, the Hoes are still twitchy as they adjust to their new setup but dominated the centre clearances early and showed improved delivery into Nick Butler (5) nonetheless. The tri-colour’s classy half-back line rebounded well however, Parkes was brilliant up forward with six majors while ‘Filthy’ Phil Edgar (5) crumbed everything and was crucial at the stoppages. Patrick Aughton shone in his 150th club game, and the Skobber’s round six shootout against Beauy is beginning to loom large.

The ‘Bees travelled to Brighton Beach and 4

despite some injury woes from their bruising round one encounter with St Kevin’s (to wit, the loss of Matt Palmington with a badly broken forearm), were barely bothered by the ‘Tonners who were, according to one pundit, “insipid and embarrassing.” Undisciplined play along with poor misses in front of goal were costly early for the home side, however Ben Austen was solid at half back and young Ben Jarick contested valiantly in the ruck. For the ‘Bees, Chris Molivas kicked six and flew the flag for a new wave of under 19s coming through, ably assisted by Schibeci (3), Huxtable and Alex Taylor as they romped through the second half to inflict Old Brighton’s worst home defeat in recent memory; going down by nine goals.

Hamilton lad and former North Ballarat TAC and VFL player Jandre Slabbert displayed an exceptional work-rate kicking seven for Uni Blacks in a tight battle of wills with Old Melburnians at University Oval. The two new senior coaches pitted game plans in an intense encounter that belied the end result; Blacks were somewhat erratic in front of goal compared to OM’s greater efficiency, yet managed to lead by eight points at three quarter time. Grammar wrested back the lead early in the final term, albeit briefly, but the Uni lads turned on the afterburners to kick away as OMs struggled with injuries to James Beaumont and Nat Nixon. Al Armstrong was creative and unswerving in his delivery to the OMs forward line, while Blacks big man Andrew Willingham gained the ascendancy in the ruck to help build their momentum.

McKinnon Reserve reminded us just how contrary this side can be. Old Haileybury’s high marking was a feature, along with their relentless pressure forcing numerous turnovers; Lockwood, Millard and Nicolopoulos (6) amongst their shining lights.

Ludski and Routman were best for the Jackas who showed flashes mid-way through the third kicking the last six goals of the quarter, but the Bloods steadied and kicked away in the final term to salute by 56 points.

TODAY Beaumaris has started the year in stunning form with two dominant performances and that trend should continue in today’s local derby against Old Brighton at Shark Park. Expect line-up changes for both however, the ‘Tonners in particular following

PREMIER C

BLUES SHINE FOR HICKEY’S 200 After just two rounds of Premier C in 2012, we’ve already got an outright ladder leader, with two teams yet to open the account at the other end.

And with a few games already being decided by less than a kick this season, it looks like we’re in for another exciting year.

securing their first win of the season. Mark Wilson continued his hot early season form for PEGS, with four goals. Despite the loss, Banyule would be heartened by the performances of Tim Cusack and Jack Langford, who were again amongst their best.

Monash had their first game at Frearson in 2012 and were able to celebrate the 200th game of their champion, ‘Scalpel’ Hickey, in fine style with a convincing win. Hickey, playing at half forward, was one of the Blues’ best, in a vintage performance. Another standout for Monash was first year ruckman, Joe Cosgriff, who has hit the ground running in 2012. Cosgriff provided the Blues with strong pack-marking, clean skills below the knees and an impact on the scoreboard with three majors. Monash kicked into gear in the second and were never seriously challenged after that, registering a 77-point win.

Rory Lynch was solid for the Rovers down back and Jack Sperring was a welcome inclusion.

The early pace-setters for the season had another quality performance at Salesian, with Rupo securing a 26-point win. Leigh Brennan was a constant threat for the Nodder defence, with four goals, on the back of his ten in Round 1.

Matt Quigley and Lachlan Baddeley have started the season on fire for Rupo, whose dominance of the contest in the first three quarters allowed the hosts to push the lead out past six goals. To their credit, Mazenod, led by Francis Reed and Steven Oldman, never stopped fighting and were able to win the last quarter. Still 0-2 is not where Mazenod would have wanted to find themselves after two weeks and will be desperate to get their season back on track in R3.

In a contest between two early flag favourites, the Wellers and the Vultures battled to a stalemate at Gordon Barnard Reserve. It was the home side that seemed to have the ascendancy for most of the day, with Parkdale digging in with a big final quarter and the Wellers’ defence working manfully to salvage the draw, as their opponents had most of the play towards the end. Claye Tobin bagged four for the Vultures in an impressive display, while young gun, Jackson Eade, managed the same for Old Camberwell.

Fitzroy opened their account for the season at home against Marcellin. With the visitors getting the aid of a strong breeze in the first quarter, ‘Bizza’ Birrell was responsible for several Marcellin forays forward, but they squandered a few opportunities, allowing the Roys to take a narrow lead. Jono Blanch was given the runwith gig on Luke Ablett, and it was a great battle all day. With Fitzroy making better use of the wind-advantage in the second term, they took a 19-point lead at the main break. In the third

Banyule headed over to the Grammar to face PEGS, in another game that went right down to the wire. The Bears would be disappointed that their handy 22-point halftime lead evaporated in the third stanza, with the home side getting their noses in front when it counted and 6

quarter, Augustin got on top in the middle for Marcellin and Tom Jones was repelling most of the Fitzroy forward entries, with the Roys kept goalless for the quarter. As good teams do though, the Lions responded to this challenge, with Ablett getting on top for the home side and Matt Bortolotto doing the same for the Eagles. Steve McPherson would have extremely frustrated by some undisciplined play by the Eagles, with two 25m penalties ultimately proving very costly, as Fitzroy hung on for a 16-point win. James O’Reilly was again outstanding for the Roys and it looks like away team wins at Brunswick Street will be as rare as a Florentine steak in 2012.

Today, Old Camberwell heads to Monash and I think while it’s never easy to get a win at Frearson,

the Wellers will do enough. Rupo puts on the white shorts for the first time in 2012 against an impressive Vultures outfit and I think Parkdale will end Rupertswood’s perfect start. Marcellin hosts Mazenod at the College in a crunch game for both teams, which I think will result in an Eagles’ win in young forward, Nic Crosbie’s, 50th game for the club. PEGS are again at home, though this time I think Fitzroy will knock them off. The Rovers continue their nomadic start to the season with a trip to Banyule and the Bears, stung by their close loss in R2 will get back on the winners list.

ANTHONY ELEVEN Caulfield Grammarians smothered Old Carey in the final stanza to win their Premier Thirds contest last week. Reigning premier Old Xaverians accounted for Uni Blues in similar fashion, kicking away in the final term to win comfortably. Old Trinity got home against St Bernard’s by a goal, courtesy of straighter shooting. Collegians were never in trouble against De La Salle, booting in the first stanza almost the equivalent of the Sallians’ full-time score.

In PB3, Dan Anthony booted eleven and led Old Brighton to a massive win over Oakleigh. St Kevin’s beat Uni Blacks comfortably, while AJAX edged Northern Blues on the back of six from Dan Sandler. Old Xaverians beat Old Melburnians by 28 points after a tight first half.

In PC3, Mazenod beat Mentonians, while Shelley Fulton’s five helped the Roys home over Whitefriars. Banyule beat Marcellin and St Kevin’s beat Old Camberwell.

DIVISION 1

PIRATES HAVE ALL GUNS BLAZING Last season, Peninsula was 1-4 after five rounds.

On reflection, it was this sluggish start to the campaign which ultimately cruelled the Pirates’ finals chances, as they would only lose four matches thereafter. It is obvious that Peninsula are in no mood to again give the competition a head start, winning their initial two matches by 89 and 88 points respectively. The win last week was easily the more impressive of the two: the Pirates thrashed a North Old Boys – St Patrick’s team who themselves would have been banking on a flying start to the season. Make no mistake.

The trip down to Mt Eliza will this year will prove to be the most daunting for all teams in this division. NOBs had no answer to the goal-kicking power (again led by the familiar figures of Shaun Payze and Jim Coughlin) and experienced midfield grunt of the Pirates, particularly in the first half when the visitors could only manage two goals.

Another year, another spanking for Williamstown out at Friar Park. Whitefriars well and truly pulled down the pants of the CY’s, ending up massive 113-point winners. Rob Petracca made light of opposition attempts to tag him, sparking the midfield and booting seven majors. Ryan Storey was outstanding in defence, and Jean Daou was once again the best big man on the ground.

Friars had a good spread of eleven goal-kickers.

Williamstown will quickly need to arrest a serious loss in form and confidence which has already seen them sucked into the relegation zone.

Old Mentonians, in the first of four “trial” home games at Mordialloc, once again took control in the second term. The Panthers piled on 7-2 whilst keeping St John’s scoreless. Best for OMs were Cam Duncan, Ben Johnson and Nick Imlach on the back line, Tim Wigney and Sam Johnson 10

on the ball and Luke Hull up forward.

At their newly-renovated Como Park home, Old Geelong got on the board with what turned into a comfortable four-goal victory over the Monders. It could have been game over at quarter-time but for OGs poor kicking for goal (5-9), and it was this waywardness which allowed Ormond to work their way back into the match after half-time. But, led by Luke Duthie and Trent Bond, the Oggers held firm to prove they will be no push-overs this year.

It was gratifying to at last see a close contest.

Glen Eira and MHSOB fought out a low-scoring battle at Packer, which fell the Unicorns’ way by three points. The Saints will be cursing their wastefulness in front of goal: up by nine points at half-time, their score of 4-11 suggested the lead should have been greater, and this ultimately cost them dearly.

Today’s game of the round sees the Pirates set sail for Donvale to take on the Friars. It promises to be quality match-up between two heavyweights of the competition. As I stated earlier, Peninsula have done little wrong thus far and I am tipping them to continue their hot early form to down the Friars by 8 points in a real armwrestle. By 5pm this evening, Old Mentonians should be the only other undefeated team. Back at Keysborough and facing an Ormond team who are giving off mixed messages at present, the up and about Panthers will account for Ormond by 4 goals.

Last season, St John’s upset Glen Eira in the Division 2 grand final, so today the Saints will be looking to exact some small measure of revenge on their conquerors. However, despite Glen Eira’s improved form last week, I expect JOCs to be too strong at home. St John’s by 15 points. At Gillon Oval, MHSOB face NOB-SP and won’t the hosts be smarting from last week’s humiliation? With the lady-folk of the club watching on, expect the NOBs to bounce back and comfortably put away the Unicorns by 30 points.

Although Williamstown are struggling at the minute, and in unfamiliar territory at the foot of the ladder, a visit to the Fearon is never an easy one for opposition clubs. Old Geelong’s bona

DIVISION 2

ROUND 2: ANSWERS OR MORE QUESTIONS? While the opening round of the season often dispels the rumours and innuendo that snowball during the pre-season, more often than not, the results create more questions that answers.

Questions about the current economic climate and the decision to paint the picket fence in ivory, off-white or bone make way for far more pressing issues. Was the Bulleen Temp result a fluke? How could La Trobe kick only one goal? What makes the Ham and Salad Roll at East Caulfield Reserve so incredibly delicious?

Round 2, away from the hype and skewed results of the opening round, offers arguably the first accurate outlook on how the season will unfold.

Kicking 11 goals more than their solitary goal from last week wasn’t enough for La Trobe as they went down to their maiden counterparts in South Melbourne by 16 points at Lindsay Hassett Oval.

With both sides determined to right the wrongs of last week’s shellackings, it was the Bloods who drew first blood through Seb Mahoney and would subsequently lead from post-to-post despite some inaccurate kicking in the first and third stanzas. Best for South Melbourne was Elliot Costello and Joseph Foley, likewise for the students David Hacker and Jack McMeel with his four majors impressed for the students.

Unsubstantiated reports have surfaced that after last week’s shock shellacking, High St and its surrounding shopping strips put the PrahranAssumption players on notice with a strict curfew.

The publicans would only serve soft drink to the players; the restaurants would only cook meals laced in protein and the local Neighbourhood Watch patrolled the streets, ensuring anyone that wears a Prahran-Assumption jumper wasn’t out frolicking past 9:00pm. While the rumours are probably untrue, Prahran’s 79 point hiding of Emmaus St Leo’s is not. Adam Sleight was simply sensational with 8, aided by Ryan Costin’s sublime delivery. For St Leo’s Phillip Carey and Anthony Smith with 5 goals stood tall.

The Turtles didn’t offer Monash the same warm welcome to Division 2 that South Melbourne extended the week before, accounting for the Gryphs comfortably in a fierce affair at Eltham Secondary College. Eltham applied the pressure from the first horn, exploiting Monash’s weaknesses in all corners of their huge home ground (I’m told is only a mere 3 metres shorter than the MCG!) Sabastian Ciavola was once again too strong for the Monash defence, snagging six in the process while Samuel was instrumental in the Eltham engine room. For Monash, Stuart Heppell in his first game impressed and Mark Tapscott stood out among an average bunch.

In a battle of the R1 surprise packets, Bulleen Templestowe reaffirmed its intentions to bounce straight back up to Division 1 with a resounding win over St Mary’s Salesian, defeating the Saints by 124 points at the leafy Ferndale Park. While the Saints remained tenacious to the final siren, the highly drilled Bulleen Templestowe proved too superior. The Bullants jumped straight out of the blocks piling on the first nine majors of the game, building an unassailable lead in the process. Greg Williams was outstanding at the clearances for the Bullants, while Michael Pace ensured the ball didn’t pass his heavily guarded half backline. For the Saints, Samuel Autio wreaked havoc on the Bulleen defence and Mitchell Smith did his best to reduce the margin.

Coming off contrasting opening rounds, Old Paradians delivered the upset of the round, knocking off Therry Penola by 25 points at home.

The opening two stanzas were closely fought with both sides utilising the handy breeze, it wasn’t TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD Emmaus St Leos OC v Old Paradians La Trobe University v St Mary’s Salesian Monash Gryphons v Bulleen Templestowe Prahran Assumption v Eltham Collegians Therry Penola v South Melb Districts

until the third term when Old Paradians married the gale with a relentless attack on the pill, and superb skills from the stoppages, killing the contest in the process. While Therry had their chances in the last, inaccurate kicking ensured they would go into round 3 with a record of 1 and 1. Coach David Boundy was instrumental when it mattered for the home team, chipping in with two majors and Paul Turner was best afield. For the losing side, Ben Harding toiled all day in the ruck and Matt Lyon pleased the Paradian faithful with three sausage rolls.

While I’m more confident to offer my predictions this week, my final decisions are all laced with apprehension and uncertainty. Nonetheless, here they are.

Old Paradians should continue to keep Emmaus St Leos winless; Bulleen Temp will continue to make a push for instant promotion and should punish an over-confident Monash. Therry will re-join the winning fold with a win over the Bloods. St Mary’s will belt the Trobers who could be a while off their first win and in the match of the round, Eltham will throw their hat in the ring for premiership contention after a scintillating win over PrahranAssumption.

DIVISION 3

TWO DANCERS Kick! The spirit kicks, but the moonshine plays cheap tricks making it nearly impossible to pick a winner. This week the fortitude shown on the track was unrivalled by any I’ve seen before.

These guys got gusto, they are headstrong, but only six have got the taste of victory dancing on their tongues.

It was Ivanhoe’s turn to go bush this week, and they travelled east with confidence. However the commute left them blunt and it was Yarra Valley that came out dancing, by half time not even Joe Byrne could have navigate the Hoers home. It was a game dominated by Yarra Valley, which looked to turn defence into attack at every opportunity. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, the Bushrangers are looking a class act, even if it is early.

Another top rated side Elsternwick couldn’t deliver the goods against a resilient Aquinas.

Aquinas looked to be in some trouble early and it was not until the coaching panel sprayed the walls that their cattle sharpened up. Fossil Toomey was again the star for the Bloods the Enforcer doing as he pleased. Unfortunately for the Wicks, the Skull (William Christian) was shining only in a literal sense and he couldn’t inspire a victory.

St Francis Xavier was the talk of Beaconsfield and in a spectacle for the ages the unfurling of their first ever flag received a standing ovation.

It only got better for the X-men who managed to out play their more fancied opponents to win by three goals. Matt Scanlon who managed to push his way up from the reserves starred as did the usual suspects Dimakopoulos and 16

Butterfield. Albert Park will have to surf the mountain, ride the crest during the week in search for a new direction.

The X-men were not the only former Div 4 side to get a favourable result on the weekend as Richmond Centrals also claimed their first win against bitter rivals Hawthorn. The game was highlighted by Richmond’s disposal into their forward line. This delighted Seb Angus no end and he devoured his opponent finishing with 8 big ones. Hawthorn’s Captain David Tremewen was outstanding, but try as he might to stop his side going up in flames he could not, but surely will not get the blame for his sides loss.

UHS-VU were left hooting and howling after they held off a gallant Kew. The Grizzly Bears who were down by 34 points at the final change put in an epic last quarter to almost snatch victory. They managed to kick six goals to one in the last, but it wasn’t enough and fortunately for Uni High Cheyne Kelly and David Pinny who had been clowning around in cahoots all day showed enough class in dying minutes to hang on for what could be a season defining triumph.

Hysteria hit Price Reserve when Old Westbourne pulled of an absolute Harry Houdini effort coming from 23 points down half way through the last quarter to lead by three at the final bell.

DIVISION 4

Josh Gabelich

CONSISTENCY IS THE THING! Two weeks into the new season and one thing’s for sure already: consistency is the key to success. Just two teams, South Mornington and Swinburne Uni, remain with unblemished records for season 2012.

Last season’s disappointments, Manningham and Chadstone might possibly endure another season of suffering after second successive crushing defeats.

A common trend from this week’s winners was an even spread of contribution from the twentytwo players who pulled on jumpers. Whereas, this week’s losers only had handfuls of players who stood up in the overcast conditions that Melbourne put on for football on Saturday.

In the game of the round, Swinburne Uni came out firing against fellow premiership fancies Eley Park. The Razorbacks’ devastating victory sent a reminder to the rest of the competition that they have what it takes to go all the way this season.

After marking their return to Division Four successfully in R1, Mt Lilydale was handed an absolute hiding by South Mornington, the Tigers belting the Rams at home by 95 points. The other newly relegated side, West Brunswick got off the mark with a comprehensive win against the Chadstone Synners.

Point Cook and North Brunswick bounced back strongly from poor Opening Day performances, with the Bulldogs knocking off Manningham by ten goals, whilst the boys from Brunswick belted the impressive Box Hill North Demons all over the ground.

At the beginning of the round it was hard to split these two sides.

Both have stars, both have great depth. But at the end of the day the gap between Eley Park and Swinburne Uni was far greater than we originally thought. After six unanswered goals in the opening term, the Razorbacks ran away with an easy win over the Sharks at Whitehorse Reserve. Ben Higgins and Adam Hyman racked 18

up big numbers in the middle, whilst Al Renshaw picked up where he left off last week with another impressive performance for the Sharks.

Before a third quarter meltdown, Chadstone showed the football world that they can be a competitive football team this season and potentially pinch a few upset victories along the way. Just two goals up at half time, the West Brunswick faithful would have been more than worried. However, a fourteen goal to four second half was more than enough to steer the Magpies home. Dane Sisic kicked six goals for the victors in a best on ground performance, whilst David BarryMacauley was the shining light for Chadstone.

South Mornington is a team with a point to prove this winter.

Consecutive fifteen goal wins would suggest that it is going to give this competition a serious shake. Hosting recently relegated side Mt Lilydale, the Tigers held the visitors goalless until deep into the last quarter. Jesse Albrecht dominated the forward fifty with nine goals and he received plenty of delivery from the likes of Scott Smith and Stuart Cunningham. The Rams dismal performance highlights the work they need to do in order to compete in this division. Brad Hughes was the only shining light on a dark day for the football club.

North Brunswick bounced back strongly after last weeks devastating loss to Mt Lilydale. In their first home appearance for 2012, the Bulls led from start to finish against the sluggish Box Hill North Demons. In a match that they would quickly like to put behind them, the away side didn’t fire a shot all day. Davor Lucevic and Adam Jeffrey dominated from the opening bounce for the home side in a great day for Bulls, and Sahand Ghasimzadeh four goals were a highlight. The Demons may have been disappointing on Saturday but there were some positives to take out of the clash.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran

Walker’s sterling start to the season continued on the weekend, unfortunately he didn’t have many mates who decided to come to the party.

Fifteen goal losers one week, ten goal winners the next. Could this be the trend of Div 4 football this season? Time will tell, but for Point Cook it appears it desperately wanted to erase last week’s hiding from their memories as quickly as possible.

Aaron Marsh’s six goals and Phillip Auciello’s swag of disposals played a major role in the Bulldogs crushing victory over the hapless Manningham Cobras.

Stuart Fisher and Scott McPherson once again tried their hardest to lift Manningham off the canvas, but it wasn’t to be once again.

This week is critical for both South Mornington and Swinburne Uni as they try to gain a break on

the competition at this early stage of the season.

Eley Park will be aiming to bounce back strongly against the Manningham Cobras at home. Point Cook host Chadstone in what could be an absolute bloodbath unless the visitors have all their stars available. The battle of the relegated sides heats up when West Brunswick hosts Mt Lilydale. In the game of the round, Swinburne Uni take on the in-form North Brunswick Bulls in what should be a tough assignment for the Razorbacks at home.

In the final game of the round, South Mornington tackles Box Hill North down the coast in what should be a win for the Tigers.

MEMORIES Where were you and what were you doing in early September 1972?

E Reserve Section that year threw out many great games. At the end of the Home and Away season we saw AJAX on top, followed by the then State Savings Bank (my team), Old Ivanhoe and Marcellin. These were four very evenly matched sides, with each having had a victory over the others during the season.

Old Ivanhoe accounted for Marcellin in the First Semi, and had the week off waiting for AJAX and SSB to fight out the Second Semi. Led by their big ruckman and coach Hiram Janover, the Jackers absolutely thrashed the Bankers, who went away with their tails between their legs having to regroup for the next week.

Unbeknownst to us and the Hoers at the time, the Grand Final was set down for the Jewish Day of Atonement, which precluded the Jackers from playing. Despite repeated requests by AJAX to have the game moved to another date, the VAFA administration of the day denied this request.

And so the 1972 E Section Reserves Prelim became the Grand Final. The day dawned bright and sunny and as I drove to the Brens Oval, I had a great feeling of anticipation and anxiety. No one had any idea what would transpire and in the SSB rooms, we were decidedly nervous. We had plenty of support from the senior players, who would have their day in the sun the next week in their own big dance.

At the first break, it was the Bankers who led by a couple of twins. Old Ivanhoe, not to be denied, clawed their way back into it and led by a couple of points as we headed to the rooms for a rest.

There were no such things as rotations in those days.

SSB veteran coach Kevin Stafford implored us to stay composed and the breaks would come our 20

way, it was nip and tuck in the championship quarter with first one then the other taking control, but never fully, so much so that at the final break the scores were level.

“Keep going, they will break eventually,” repeats Staffo and for a while it looked like happening.

We controlled the play and opened up an 8 point lead with 10 minutes left. Both sides were desperate, diving on the ball and creating plenty of stoppages. The Hoes got one back and were points behind with about a minute left. That minute seemed like an eternity. The ball entered the Hoes’ goalsquare and a brown sock in a pair of then new Adidas boots touched the ball. As it dribbled towards the goal, three SSB defenders made a gallant but fruitless attempts to smother it. The Hoes were home by 4 points.

There was in us a feeling of desolation and devastation when that final siren sounded.

Chances to play in the ultimate game of the year and to win a flag with one’s mates doesn’t happen often (or often enough!) Although hurting, the Bankers were quick to shake hands and congratulate the victors.

It was great to see the Field Umpire Ian Jenkin come into our rooms and commiserate and say how courageous he thought we had been. For the pundits, the better players for Old Ivanhoe were, Carroll, Gibbs, Gill, Dickson, Gurney and Wiltshire. And for SSB, Jeff Dawson (who would play in a premiership with the seniors a week later) Barnes, Dumbrell, Phillips, Brain (yes, me) and Hatfield.

So any clubs, past players or officials out there who have vivid memories of special games in their careers send me an Email to brainco@ optusnet.com.au or an SMS or phone call to 0423 433 488 by 5pm Monday nights.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012 Nick Jamieson is the Club Warehouse Rising Star for Round 2.

Nick played his junior footy with East Malvern and was also an important member of the Scotch College 1st XVIII. In 2010, Nick played several under 19 games around school football commitments, and impressed with his composure and awareness around goal. Nick was hopeful that the U19 side could make the finals in 2011, but when their finals aspirations were extinguished, he focused his attention on securing a berth in the Senior side. Nick plays with plenty of natural flair and confidence, an unusual attribute for a young player. He is explosive off the mark and has already become an important part of the Old Scotch 1sts.

He is happy to be part of a young, enthusiastic Old Scotch team. * to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing his first full season odf senior football.

VAFA BEIERSDORF TRAINER OF THE YEAR JACQUI PERRY – YARRA VALLEY OLD BOYS Jacqui Perry joined the Yarra Valley Old Boys in 2009 when she commenced a Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science at Deakin University.

RETRO

Geoff Reilley

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011 In Division 2 the match of the round was between the two top teams, La Trobe Uni and Glen Eira.

The Trobers took the early honours and the lead at quarter time by a goal and a half but Glen Eira reversed that to hold a 7 point lead at half time in a very competitive affair. Glen Eira then decided to step on the gas in the vital third term and La Trobe had no real answers and, by the final break, the result was beyond doubt. Glen Eira, with Glenn Boyd in outstanding form up front continued the assault in the final term and no one, outside of Glen Eira, expected the final demolition of 21.18 to 10.12. Best – Higgins, Boyd (7), Spink, Harris, Mills, O’Donnell (GE) and Steele, McMeel, McLean, Sheldrick, Atkin-Smith (3), Harry (LaT).

Division 3 produced some high scoring wins and Elsternwick were one of the teams to play some real good footy with an appropriate result, courtesy of excellent shooting for goal. Their 27.10 to Mount Lilydale 12.16 was more than conclusive and led by Aaron Thornton obtaining ‘a bag’, the Wicks had 24 goals on the board by three quarter time. Daniel Cerra was best for the ‘Mountain Men’ but needed much more assistance than he was given. Best – Thornton (7), Craig, Richardson, Healey, Yemm (3), Richardson (Elsternwick) and Cerra, Moyes, Hickey, Paull (3), Evans 3), Hollingsworth (MtL).

Kevin Marks (Hampton Rovers) deserved the VAFA Beiersdorf Trainer of the Week Award for his continued dedication to his club. Kevin first became a trainer for the Rovers in 1998, taking on the head trainer’s role in their premiership year of 2001.

5 YEARS AGO – 2007 Mazenod Old Collegians traveled to Whitefriars College in Donvale for their C Section fixture but after an even first term (4 goals each), the Friars 22

started to assert themselves and made sure of it with a 7 goal burst in the third quarter. Although Mazenod bounced back in the last, Whitefriars held control and took the points 17.6 to 14.11.

Best – Stafford, Day (3), Power, Swain, Pawlik, Daou (Whitefriars) and Hose, Reed, Jayaweera (3), B Chamberlain, D Chamberlain, Steinfort (Mazenod).

D Section Senior Coaches were Steve Easton (Bulleen Templestowe), Gary Sheldon (Hampton Rovers), David Gately (Oakleigh), Adrian Farrer (Old Geelong), Ben McGee (Old Mentonians), Mark Spinosa (Old Paradians), Mark Glenn (Peninsula Old Boys), Paul Greenham (Prahran), Garry Datson (Therry), Kevin Barnes (Yarra Valley OB).

Rod Penaluna received a VAFA Certificate of Merit for his outstanding contribution to Yarra Valley Old Boys. As the club’s first secretary in 1996, “Rocket” was instrumental in recruiting players and club officials, establishing social events and raising funds. Rod also coached the U19s and served as President for two years and was one of only four life members at the club. He went on to become a VAFA umpire and is one of the colorful and passionate people within the VAFA. 10 YEARS AGO – 2002 Prahran held off Collegians in C Section to win 13.11 to 12.9 to record their first win for the season. Best – St Clair, B Gellie, Harvey, Van Rooyen, A Pitts (4), Rhodes (Prahran) and Shinkfield, Holst, Harrison, Unsworth, Browning, Phillips (Collegians).

Aquinas moved into the top four in D1 Section with an emphatic victory over Williamstown CYMS 17.13 to 8.11. Williamstown kept in touch until half time when the goal scoring ability of Aquinas really told on the visitors. Best – Jess, Livingstone (5), Cultrera (6), Flynn, Box (5), Hunter THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

(Aquinas) and Wheeler, Featherstone, Bergin, B Hynes, Wuchatsch, J Hynes (Williamstown).

Mark Canavan reached his 200th game for Salesian against Old Carey. He became the first player to achieve the milestone at his club since it started in 1989. A dual best and fairest winner, he also captained the club to their first premiership in 1996.

Bernie Jephson celebrated his 200th game as a VAFA umpire and Alan Stubbs his 300th.

20 YEARS AGO – 1992 Bulleen Templestowe showed they may be the team to beat when they annihilated University Blacks, 33.18 to 8.11 in C Section. The Bullants’ first half was excellent and they led by 10 goals at the main change, however, they proceeded to kick 10 goals in both the third and fourth quarters to kick one of their club’s highest ever totals. Best – Cumming, Shine, McLaren (12), Pace (8), Field, T Matthews (BT) and Bromell, Rourke (3), Longley, A Gray, O’Neale, Merrett (Uni Blacks).

Preston Marist Brothers Old Boys surprised St Bede’s by matching them all the way and then proving to be too strong in the final quarter with a 15.16 to 12.12 victory. Best – Smith, McGaw (8), Philp, McDonald (4), Smart, Yendall (PMBOB) and Hambridge (3), Lancaster, M Beasley, Manson, McLachlan (St Bedes).

Milestones recorded were – Glenn Roulent (200 games) at Hampton Rovers, Charlie Richardson (150) at Old Geelong and 100 to Stephen Mulholland at Hampton Rovers.

30 YEARS AGO – 1982 Footscray Tech Old Boys remained undefeated as they demolished St Johns 23.17 to 10.12. Best – Chatfield, Boswell, Englefield, Carr (5), Egan (4), Fletcher (FTOB) and St John’s failed to reach the deadline to submit their best.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

The great Peter “Agate” Harris (pictured) played his 400th game in an effort to help his ailing club Fairfield and he found plenty of the footy with his experience and passion. (Once retired, “Agate” became a highly popular member of the VAFA administration and was awarded life membership for his services to Amateur Football before his death in 2008.)

40 YEARS AGO – 1972 Reservoir Old Boys continued their unbeaten run in C Section despite strong opposition from Assumption Old Collegians. Best – Bates, Martin, A Shepherd, Trevascus, Aston (3), McGaw (ROB) and Stuart, Pavone, Daly, Tuck (8), Nugent, Avery (Assumption).

50 YEARS AGO – 1962 1961 A Section Grand Finalists, Collegians and Old Melburnians, met in the match of the day with OM’s gaining revenge winning narrowly 6.10 to 5.13.

Umpires of the day were Pat Loy, Hec Roberts, Bill Mason and Norm Sharpe.

60 YEARS AGO – 1952 Sam Birtles starred for Hampton Rovers while ‘Bandy’ Beck and ‘Blower’ Byrne were inspirations in Melbourne High’s victory against Geelong at Corio.

UMPIRE APPRECIATION ROUND It all began at Williamstown CYMS and now it has achieved popularity throughout the football world. Today is the day we recognise the efforts of our umpires, who keep the peace, blow the whistles, fetch the balls, wave the flags, and hopefully buy a beer at the social club afterwards. Players at all clubs are asked to acknowledge today the commitment of our umpires to our great game.

MENTONIANS: FLYING UNDER THE LID The Old Mentonians’ administration has worked extremely hard over the summer to work on a deal with City of Kingston and Mordialloc Football Club to play four games at Ben Kavanagh Reserve. The ground will also be their training base for the season and they are using it very well if the results from R1 and R2 are any guide.

The lunch was a celebration of the move to their second home ground and there is a very positive atmosphere around the club after a good win in round one but you could sense that they were definitely keeping a lid on their progress so far in 2012.

Last Saturday they celebrated the move with their first lunch of the year and they had Matt Finnis as their keynote speaker. Matt (pictured) is currently the CEO of the AFLPA and he spoke about his role in working with the players in the AFL. Matt also serves as a director of HeartKids Australia, a charity supporting children born with congenital heart disease. At the conclusion of his speech, the Old Mentonians Football Club made a generous donation to the charity.

WINNING EDGE CHALLENGE

Today is the first of the Elsternwick Park matches for 2012, featuring Uni Blues and Caulfield Grammarians. Admission is free, as it will be for all ten HQ matches this season. This week’s contest is sponsored by Winning Edge Presentations, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

which will provide a trophy for the occasion.

The proprietor of Winning Edge is Alistair Ewart, pictured VAFA CEO Michael Sholly and a man keen to see Julia Gillard spend more time at Point Cook FC fulfilling her duties as patron.

FTLOTG WELL DONE, THE AGE After an ordinary Opening Day, the Sunday Age got off to a huge R2 when it featured full results from all senior sections in the VAFA, plus a feature piece by Brad Beitzel. Well done and congratulations to Sunday Age sports editor Andrew Tate.

LIVE SCORES Round 2 saw a 50 per cent growth in VAFA fans accessing Live Scores.

Now, there are 2000 following the progress of VAFA games on their mobile phones.

This number will increase exponentially as more clubs embrace the technology, which is extremely simple to use.

If you haven’t yet downloaded it, Live Scores can be accessed by locking into m.vafa.livescores.redtxt.com.au on your mobile phone browser.

Follow the prompts and you will be in business.

If your club’s scores aren’t featured, make sure you let them know of your displeasure.

EATING CAVIAR One person who didn’t get to see Black Caviar race on Saturday was Caulfield Grammarians President

Matthew

Scholten.

Matthew

was lying down in the committee room at Morphettville, recovering. Matt was the proud owner of the winner of the previous race, Heaven’s Riches. A 150/1 shot!!!

Matthew is not afraid to back his horses when he thinks they have a chance and I’m sure he couldn’t resist taking a piece of this action. Jockey Michael Walker has postponed his holiday to take the ride in the SA Derby at Morphettville today. I am sure Matthew shouted the bar for all VAFA supporters down at Warrnambool this week.

Beaumaris’ Brayden Haynes is one of that club’s most decorated players. He spent his early years in the Sharks junior program before Ray Jordon recruited him to the Sandy Dragons where he finished up as captain in 1998. He then returned to Beauy in 1999 and won the first of his record four Senior B & F Awards as an 18 y.o. in Beauy’s first stint in B Grade.

Brayden then had a stint at Sandringham in the VFL where he played seniors and won the reserves B & F before returning to Beauy for another B & F and a key role in the club’s first C Grade flag in 2003 when they defeated Collegians at headquarters.

After a fourth B & F in 2008, Brayden took up the mantle of senior captain and his proudest legacy is the role that he has had in working closely with Jason Mifsud to develop the leadership group of Beauy’s senior squad and seeing the results that are now becoming evident.

Dedication, courage, loyalty and drive have been hallmarks of Brayden’s career with the Sharks and he has made a giant contribution to the club both on and off the field.

200

Emmaus St Leos’ Stuart Bavage started with the Animals in 1997 and has played every year since. Stuart is a hard, reliable back man who has won several ‘most valuable player awards and is a coach’s favourite as he will play anywhere. Stuey has always worked hard on his fitness and is a popular clubman.

150

Ormond’s Shane Metz first Senior game was in 1996, in the same year he captained the U19s. Shane played a significant role in Ormond’s Reserves flags of 2007 and 2008. In 2011 Shane won the Club 18 South Best and Fairest and goal-kicking. Back in the Seniors, Shane has started 2012 showing great form.

150

Aquinas ‘Vice Captain Leigh Toomey, now in his 10th year at Aquinas has served on the Committee as Secretary, Player Representative and part of Social Committee. Leigh has been one of the Vice captains for past 5 seasons and apart of leadership group. A popular clubman, Leigh produces his popular and some times irreverent “On The Couch” segment on selection nights at the Club.

100

Glen Eira Saint Evan Stuchbery has consistently played senior footy for the club and is a fearless, and talented backman.

50

Emmaus St Leos’ Anthony Muling started with the U19s in 2008 and has continued to give great service as a running backman who kicks like a mule.

Marcellin’s Nick Crosbie has become an integral part of the Eagles’ forward line set-up in the Seniors after impressing so strongly in the under 19s in the past few years. Nick is a skilful player with plenty to offer.

NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too – John F Kennedy 1962 It was fifty years ago this season that Kennedy gave this speech in a football stadium. He was talking about putting a man on the moon but he could have been talking about the challenges of playing U19 Premier football.

In 2012, six of the ten teams have senior sides in the VAFA’s top tier. The others are Uni Blacks and Old Melburnians, which would consider themselves Premier teams in exile; Beaumaris, which is sitting atop Premier B and hoping for a grand final appearance this year; and Fitzroy, which is playing in Premier C and building.

This week, coaches, supporters and U19 players from Beauy and the Roys might well be wondering what it is they have gotten themselves into. Both were indisputably drubbed last week. Bumping into De La Salle and Old Xaverians, which have been strong year after year at U19 level can be a daunting task.

This is what happened to Beaumaris and Fitzroy last Saturday. The Sharks have seen better days against these overlords of the comp and realise there are bumps in the road. For the Lions, it’s a new experience. But those friendly, playful cubs grow to be the kings of the jungle.

Getting teams together for junior football can be a tough deal for volunteer administrators. One year, the team can be strong, the next year the majority graduate to senior ranks. A cowboy’s work is never done. Every club must have a lot of cowboys to keep the ball rolling, to ensure the steady inflow year after year.

While U19 players love to win as much as the next guy, the junior ranks are all about preparing footballers for senior performance. Over the years, many clubs, especially De La Salle, have blooded U19 players in senior ranks. These experiments would not 48

have worked as well as they did if their 19s had not been playing in the top junior section.

Successful clubs know these things: 1. Fielding an U19 team is preferable to not fielding an U19 team 2. U19 footballers will benefit more in the long term playing in a higher grade against better players.

3. Winning is more fun than losing.

4. Balancing 2 and 3 is the real trick.

Enough. Let’s look at last week’s games.

In Premier, as we have mentioned, De La torched Beaumaris with Luke Barda and the Haley Brothers dominating the best players and goalkicking lists.

I suspect there won’t be too many De La people going to Noosa in September. Beauy could not have enjoyed the experience, but will bounce back. Full credit to those lads who hung in there.

Xavs lashed the Roys, with its honours list featuring famous Red and Black names such as Ralph, Woodley, Pirrie, Batten and Cotchett. The Lions got going after a first quarter pasting and while they could not prevent Xavs scoring, they did better themselves.

Uni Blues beat the Brindisians by four goals, which was the margin at half-time. Sean Carr was the game’s Number One star.

Old Melburnians led St Bernard’s at the long break but the Snow dogs booted six goals to two to take the chocolates. Dave Wall added three more bricks to his eight from R1.

Old Scotch pumped Uni Blacks with a splendid effort from Ed “Fists of” Furey, who booted seven in a beston performance.

In Section 2, Jackson Small booted five as Caulfield clipped Marcellin’s wings. Joe “Mack” de Neefe was best for the Eagles.

SKOB won a low scoring affair with Old Trinity. It set up the win with a four goal first term. Francis Keely was best and Mitch Manning kicked two. For the Ts, Alex “Tex” Heuston kicked four.

Old Brighton defeated Old Haileybury to take the Gadsden Cup, with Michael “Trigger” Tregear slipping THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

through seven for the Tonners. Matt Mitchell got three for the Bloods, whose second term was their best.

Northern Blues were too strong for the Wellers, winning by 44 points. Jake Powell starred for the Northerners, while the classy and alliterative Francisco Fernandes booted a couple for Camberwell.

Nick Curwood’s six goals and a fine effort from Stewart McCooke saw the Monders home over St Bernard’s.

Harry Overman was best for the Snow Dogs.

Up North, AJAX wrested a tight one from Old Geelong. Adam Lerner booted two and was best on for the Jackers, while Rupert Kemp starred for the OGs. Uni beat High School as La Trobe bested the Unicorns by 28 points. Tommy Williams slotted five for the Trobers while Sam Shearer managed four for MHSOB, Therry monstered Emmaus St Leo’s, tipping them by 170 points. Three Lions booted three each, but Darrell ‘The Sentimental” Blake kicked ten to win all the awards. Jason “Kitchen” Schink starred for ESL. Ivanhoe got home by two points in a squeaker against Will CY. The Hoers added five of its eight goals in the final term to steal the points. Jai Swainger booted four and was best in the win. Nat Bratby was best from the West.

Down South, Chris Wheeler kicked eight and Bill Kittlety six as Monash Blues routed Beauy. Liam Brennan drew the notices for the Sharks.

Old Carey beat Werribee Districts in a fabulous contest of jungle beasts. Pat Cremean kicked six for the Panthers, while Mick Secoulidis, Jax Cooke and one-time NZ tourist Matty Fitzpatrick had three apiece for the Tiges.

De La Salle slaughtered Hampton Rovers, with Matt Hogan booting seven and Jack Hanley six for the Bellers. Jordan Mayne fought hard for Rovers against the tide.

In Section 3, PEGS belted Old Xaverians, booting six goals to two after half-time. Sandon McCann was best for the Peggers, who led all day.

Larry Webb and Jordy Young kicked four apiece as St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers outlasted Peninsula. Jordy Owens booted three for the Pirates, who led at QT and HT, but had no answers in the final stanza.

Collegians had thirty-two scoring shots to seven in defeating Mazenod. The Nodders, 18-2 and runners up in South Division last year, are finding the jump none too easy (as is South flag winner Xavs). The Lions had the luxury of playing senior Big V squad member and 2011 Senior premiership player Lachlan Ferguson, who returned from injury. Luke “Buddy” Greco kicked four for the Nodders.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Chris Welch kicked four and Lew Emmerson three as the Vultures belted SMS. Parkdale began strongly and kept going. For their part, St Mary’s Salesian achieved plenty themselves, booting multiple goals in each quarter. Sam Murphy was best in yellow.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson

MILESTONE – 400 UP! We start with another big milestone this week. Goal umpire David Hindle reaches game 400 this weekend.

David has taken a long journey interrupted journey to reach 400 considering he commenced umpiring with the VAFA in 1969.

He joined as a field umpire after four years with the VFL’s Reserve Grade panel and retired as a field umpire in 1983. He returned to the VAFA in 2007 as a goal umpire with a gap which is greater than the age of many current umpires.

David’s highlights are as follows: First game – A Reserve - Old Paradians v Caulfield Grammarians (and like accountant the accountant he is remembers that he was paid $11 for that game.

First A Grade game – University Blacks v University Blues in 1969.

Highest achievement was the A Grade Preliminary Final in 1979 between De La Salle and University Blacks.

“In the 1970s we didn’t have our own boundary umpire squad and field umpires did the boundary jobs in finals and representative games. In the 1973 Amateur Carnival at the MCG I umpired two boundary games (Tuesday and Saturday) - a big ground with only one boundary umpire on each side unlike today. Also boundary umpired 5 consecutive A Grade grand finals on Elsternwick Park from 1971 to 1975.

Other highlights include the best non-final game was in 1972 the lost home and away game between Parkside and Alphington with the winner playing finals. Parkside by a point with the Alphington fullforward running into an open goal as the bell (yes, bell) rang just before he kicked.”

David has been awarded with VAFAUA Life Membership and the Bob Dunstan Award for services to the Association and has spent time as the VAFAUA auditor, Executive member, Treasurer and member of the Investigations Panel.

His advice to young umpires? “The VAFA is a great organisation which has always been totally supportive of umpires, be proud to be part of it. Make a point of going into the aftermatch functions, get to know the clubs. Enjoy 56

what you do. Strive to do your best. There will be disappointments along the way, when there are, challenge yourself to rise above them and achieve greater heights. Support the VAFAUA as it also is a superb body that works hard to achieve a great environment for umpiring.”

All try to make it back to Caulfield Grammarians to share a couple with David tonight.

Another one Sig Sokolowski hits 150 games today. Sig joined us from the SFL a few years back and has quickly reached that mark. 200 not too far. Have a great day.

Thanks Brendan Corcoran would like to thank all at St Francis Xavier for acknowledging his 350th VAFA game last weekend at the flag unfurling and also presenting him with the match ball.

Splinters – Rule of the week What do you do when the ball hits an overhanging tree during play? Ask Ben Nicholson and he’ll tell you what to do. No, its not carrying a chainsaw in your kit bag.

Innovative Senior umpire Merv Monty is so dedicated to training there was no way that leaving his runners at home last week was going to stop him. Popped into a local department store for a $10 pair of runners to get him through. Who needs those expensive brands anyway.

Road trip Paul Jones was umpiring with his coach Mark Gibson at South Mornington last weekend so they decided to travel down together. What Gibbo didn’t count on was that Jonesy would bring his mum (in her 80s) along for the ride. No stranger to footy clubs, Mrs J had a great day, even attending the aftermatch.

Umpire Appreciation Day Once again Umpire Appreciation Day is being acknowledged by the Wiliiamstown CYMS Football Club today. Check out the game on Channel 31 next Friday night.

KRUSHED Oakleigh looks to be the one to beat if R2 results are any indication. After a bye on Opening Day, the Krushers moved into their work and beat a highly fancied Rupertswood by 55 points. Ben Still slotted five and he had support from Zach-PearceThomas and Aaron Cloke (four goals and three respectively). Rupo plugged away all afternoon, but was not in the hunt. Adam Phillips was best in blue and gold.

St Bernard’s was too strong for UHS-VU/ Flemington, disposing of the Combine by nearly 100 points. Jerry Sullivan booted four and Toms Russell and Riley got three each. Stavrou and VellaHorne (both Dylans) were best for the vanquished.

Werribee Districts defeated St Mary’s Salesian by 81 points. Dane Thomas shot out the lights with ten goals for the Bees. Clem McInnes was best for SMS and one of its five single goalscorers.

Today’s big clash features Werribee Districts and Oakleigh. I’m selecting the Krushers, despite the travel. St Bernard’s motor to SMS and should be too strong. Rupo meets Willy in a battle of blue and gold and it looks like the match of the day to me.

CLUB XVIII

Norm Nugent

A WEEK OF CONSOLIDATION Round 2 results, although fairly predictable, served to consolidate early ladder ascendancy for teams not usually found in the vanguard of Club XVIII. Reigning premier De La Salle lost by twenty four points against the Old Xaverians, which now sit second while the Malvern-based side finds itself outside the top six. Ivanhoe, led by their star, Tim Sheehan, with eight goals, defeated Fitzroy by thirty-two points. Competition leaders North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s defeated traditional rival St Bernard’s by sixty five points. Monash Blues finished fifty nine points ahead of Old Ivanhoe, which now finds itself on the bottom of the ladder.

Old Melburnians recorded their first win when they overwhelmed Prahran/Assumption by one hundred and fourteen points. Despite marked inaccuracy, Williamstown C.Y.M.S. managed to defeat Therry Penola by eight points and so maintain its unbeaten record.

The reformed Bulleen Templestowe team led throughout its match against Richmond Central Snakes and won by sixty two points. Early premiership favourites, Hawthorn had a day out against the hapless Eley Park, who returned to Elgar Park with no pomp and in dire circumstances after their two hundred and forty one point loss.

Old Geelong’s fifty three point win over Kew was one I had not expected. The OGs were in no way impeded by the small Victoria Park and just maybe they could qualify for their first final in 2012! Old Paradians find themselves in fourth place after their one hundred and nine point win over UHSVU., which once again found scoring difficult. At Oak Park, Richmond Central joined the long list of losing sides against Therry Penola, the “Cardinals” down by twenty points.

PREVIEW Section 1 Darling Park is set to provide a feast of Club XVIII football today. Prahran/ Assumption hosts Old Xaverians, which should maintain their 60

undefeated status especially given the “Four Blues” form in Round 2. In the afternoon, seventh placed De La Salle faces undefeated Williamstown CYMS whic will be making its Darling Park debut.

It will be a good test of the CY standard against the reigning premiers. I select De La Salle because of home ground advantage and I suspect superior match fitness. Two sides without a win, Fitzroy and Therry Penola play at Ramsden Street. At home I favour Fitzroy to break the ice. Near neighbours, Ivanhoe and Old Ivanhoe meet at Ivanhoe Park.

It’s neighbour versus neighbour in this battle for the hearts and minds of the good citizens of the area, with many front fences no doubt adorned in ribbon, black or brown, depending on allegiances. Judged on their respective showings so far, I believe the district side will triumph over the school-based side. Leaders, North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s should have their colours lowered by Old Melburnians, which has shown impressive form in each game. The game should provide a guide as to the comparative strength in Section 1 of its established sides and its newcomers. In the tradition of Mao and his followers, Monash Blues will make an early morning “long march” to the north and west. In the once inhospitable but now gentrified “Snake Pit” the enigmatic St Bernard’s await them. Monash has played two consistent games, whereas St Bernard’s form has been TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD CLUB XVIII (1) De La Salle v Williamstown CYMS Fitzroy v Therry Penola Ivanhoe v Old Ivanhoe Old Melburnians v NOBS/ St Pats Prahran Assumption v Old Xaverians CLUB XVIII (2) Old Geelong v Bulleen Templestowe Old Paradians v Kew Richmond Cardinals v Eley Park Sharks Therry Penola v Richmond Snakes UHS-VU v Hawthorn

erratic. Despite the obvious home advantage and their wide ranging coaching guidance, I believe the Snowdogs will be beaten by the ‘Ashes.

Section 2 Undefeated Bulleen-Templestowe should continue on its winning way at Como against the unpredictable Old Geelong. Old Paradians, which looked good last week, should win again at the expense of Kew. Richmond Central “Cardinals” should win its first game by defeating Eley Park,

whose players have struggled hitherto to meet the required sectional standard. This week it is the turn of the Richmond Central “Snakes” to face the unbeaten Therry Penola on the unfamiliar terrain of the Fawkner Reserve. I expect the home side to win again despite some periods of good play by the “Snakes” last Saturday. Leaders, Hawthorn should record another convincing victory over UHS-VU, which despite trying hard each week, at present lacks the skill to put its opposition under scoreboard pressure.
