BIG V OUT TO STAY NUMBER ONE Whilst Premier to Premier C head off to a first ever winter break for two weeks the VAFA embark on our representative program for 2015. We started the year with a magnificent win against the Northern Football League and retained our title as the Number 1 ranked competition in metropolitan Melbourne. Next week we head off to Tasmania to also retain our title as the Australian Amateur Under 23 champions.

In Adelaide four years ago we won the title defeating Western Australia in the final. Jack Hellier captained the Big V, won player of the championship, and is now the captain of Collingwood in the VFL. From that carnival Old Melburnian Sam Dunell was drafted by St Kilda and played 12 games in the AFL. Hopefully someone from the VAFA may also get their opportunity to play in the AFL. The carnival is played over three consecutive days with the preliminary rounds played on Thursday and Friday in reduced games of 20 minute halves.

We play each of the other states Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia with the final on Saturday. The carnival coincides with the 150 year celebration of Australian Rules Football in Tasmania. This is a great opportunity for our players to travel together and represent the Big V against our rival states.

The following weekend we play a triple header against AFL Victoria Country at The Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo. This is a magnificent day of football where three segments of the VAFA, our seniors, Premier B – Division 4 and under 19’s all don the Big V to take on the country. I recommend those who support amateur football to consider having a day out and watching the Big V. It is possible that over half of our clubs will be represented.

The past four senior matches against the country have all been decided by less than a kick. We won the last two at the Junction Oval and at Shepparton by 3 and 6 points but went down the previous two, again at the Junction Oval, and at Ballarat by 4 points and by a solitary point kicked after the siren. For the record the captains of those teams were Jack Watts (Uni Blues), Luke Wintle (St Bedes MT), Brett Voss (Old Haileybury) and James Hope (Old Ivanhoe). The Robert Fuller Medal for the Best on Ground was won by Peter Summers (Uni Blues), Cam Howat (Old Carey), Tom Simpson (SKOB) and Hayden Heta (Old Ivanhoe).

The Premier B – Division 4 went agonisingly close in their match in 2013 going down to the country by a point. Anthony Lynch from St Kevin’s skippered the team and the best on ground went to Tom Paule from Old Melburnians. We have played them five times at this level and are yet to register a win. This is a big challenge for coach Simon Williams as we take on about sixty of the Tier 2 country leagues across Victoria.

Overall the Under 19’s have played 14 matches against the country with the ledger reading seven wins apiece. Under David Gately we won a thriller at the Junction Oval two years back with Gabe Hamilton from Old Trinity captaining the team and Ryan Eade from Uni Blues judged best afield. Two years prior Daniel Garside from St Bedes Mentone Tigers led the team and was awarded the best player but we went down by 28 points. Other notable players to come out of the Under 19’s representative team that are still playing include current captains Brendan Iezzi (Old Trinity), Simon Richards (St Bedes Mentone Tigers), Tom Caven (St Bernards), Bede Mahon (Uni Blacks) and Peter Gleadhill (Old Haileybury).

Congratulations and the best of luck to all players who will wear the Big V over the next fortnight.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Andrew Leonard

SIMPLY THE BEST If there was any doubt that William Buck Premier is the most competitive comp in community football then you need look no further than round 10. The top of the table clash was one to savour.

Old Trinity threw everything at St Bernards and with a few extra seconds on the clock, they may have snatched a draw. In the end the Snowdogs snatched the game by one straight kick and top spot. Old Carey will be ruing a major chance to break free of the chasing pack. The Panthers led Blues by almost five goals in the second term but a series of behinds meant their break wasn’t as big as it could have been. Blues responded and established a game winning lead late only for Old Carey to get back to within a single point before the siren sounded. Old Scotch were dead and buried for a seventh straight loss at Harry Trott. Trailing by 29 points at three quarter time, the Cardinals turned their season around in a blistering quarter of footballer to beat Collegians by five points. Beaumaris led De La Salle by seven goals with De La supporters considering Premier B at quarter time. De La chipped away in the second before they played their best half of football for the year after half time, comprehensively turning the relegation battle on it’s head. Blacks were cruising against Old Xavs before a late charge from the home side made it a two kick game. They couldn’t get there in the end. Aside from the top two sides, there is very little between positions 3-10. Five teams now have five wins, and places 3-10 are all up for grabs, leaving a thrilling final eight weeks of the year.

Old Scotch ended their six game losing streak in fine style with a come from behind win over Collegians at Harry Trott. The Cardinals claimed the double over the Lions in 2015 after they booted six goals to one in the final term to get over the line by five points. Former Melbourne Demon James Strauss was instrumental in the revival that looked impossible at the last change.

Collegians were on top in most areas of the game, but they hadn’t put the match beyond the reach of Old Scotch. Matt Singleton was again impressive for the men in purple with a couple of goals, but it was in the midfield where this 2

@ Lennytalk game was won. This is where Old Scotch had the ascendancy. Strauss, Bowden, McKinley all found plenty of the ball in the last term and with time against them, they were forced to be more direct than they had in recent weeks. It was brilliant from the visitors who had been out of touch with this type of performance in the last month. A season defining quarter if ever there was one.

It was worrying signs at quarter time at the Dairy Bell. The natives were restless as their team were seven goals down and on the way to falling two and half games behind ninth spot. Beaumaris was sensational in the opening quarter as they played their most dominant term of the year. Nine goals in a quarter is a fantastic return, three goals for the remainder of the game is not. It’s as simple as that. De La Salle with their season on the line responded brilliantly, kicking 18 goals to three after quarter time to seal a morale-boosting win.

Tom Curry, Matt Fieldsend – who has strung a good month together – and Sam Williams were the instigators. Four goals from young gun Adrian Indovino and bags of three from Hugh Nicholson and Leigh Harrison had everyone at De La Salle singing from the same hymn sheet. The ten goal third term from De La Salle was devastating, Beauy held goalless in the same period. It leaves an interesting scenario developing at the bottom end in the coming weeks.

Old Carey should be filthy. With a four goal advantage at the 14minute mark of the second quarter, the Panthers scored four straight behinds as they sought to press their advantage. Blues kicked a couple goals to cut the deficit with Carey adding four further behinds before the term was out. From 8.2, Old Carey went into half time with a scoreline of 9.10. Again not all were easy shots, but if just two scores split the middle then the margin would have been close to seven goals and a long way back for Blues. Hot off the back of great performances the week before, Pete Summers (3 goals) and Ross Young lifted their games and Cam WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Beaumaris v St Bernards Old Scotch v University Blacks Old Trinity v Collegians University Blues v De La Salle Old Xaverians v Old Carey

Williams started to dominant the clearances for Uni. Carey managed to maintain a one point lead at orange time, but Blues had the momentum.

That momentum took them to a 15 point lead commencing time on in the last, before Carey found their groove again. The Panthers kicked the last four scores of the game, but still fell one point short in a thriller. Julian Rowe kicked four goals and was omnipresent for the visitors who missed a chance to steal a break on the rest of the pack chasing a finals spot.

University Blacks established a lead they never looked like relinquishing against Old Xaverians until late in the final term as Xavs stormed home.

Black’s six goal advantage at the final change was whittled away to just a couple of straight kicks as Sparky Larkins (4 goals) tried to ignite the Xavs to get over the line. Joel Ernest (4) was pivotal and Charlie Richardson is right back in the groove now for Blacks, who have joined Xavs at 5-5.

then expect some bumper crowds. St Bernards and Old Trinity, played the best game of the year at the Snakepit with the Bernies reversing their round one result to the T’s. The top of the table clash delivered on every level. Alex Boyse has been a revelation this year and again he was a livewire for the Snowdogs. The game was almost goal for goal throughout, and only the time clock prevented Old Trinity from levelling the match in the dying stages as they surged forward. Give Adam Bentick the Woodrow now, as he might have as commanding a lead as Iezzi had at this point last year. Bentick was again superb. Equally as impressive was the never say die attitude of the entre Trinity 22. Both these sides are a cut above the rest at the present time.

If there is more of this to come in September,

SKOB SURVIVE ROYS SCARE I love a good underdog story as much as the next fella. So, I may have temporarily discarded my journalistic objectivity for a wee moment on Twitter after the Roys led for three-and-a-half quarters against the undefeated SKOBs and came SO CLOSE to toppling them in the greatest of upsets. Having said that, such is the class of St Kevins that they endured a goalless quarter and were held to eight goals to ¾ time, and yet still managed to win by 25 points. Unbelievable.

Brunswick Street looked picture-perfect on a sunny but chilly ten degree winters day. The game was physical from the outset, with the Roys determined to show they would not be pushed around. SKOBs opened with the first two goals through Kanakis and Gilham before Fitzroy replied with three in a row. Roys Borland and Ligris came off the ground for running repairs early on and the home side held on for a one point lead at the first break. Fitzroy extended their lead with the first two goals of the second term through Bisetto and Stevic. St Kevins showed signs of being rattled for the first time this season, and Fitzroy’s pressure affected their decision making. This was perhaps best summed up when ‘Plugger’ Lynch marked 50 metres out and despite the pleas of several open teammates closer to goal, chose to have a kick and proceeded to kick into the man on the mark, to the jeers of the Fitzroy faithful. The two teams traded behinds for the rest of the quarter and when the half time siren sounded, St Kevins found themselves on the end of their first goalless quarter for the season. SKOBs started the second half stronger and within eight minutes they had wrestled back the lead through Gilham and Parkes. Lesser sides would have wilted, but Fitzroy matched St Kevins in every area and they managed to maintain their lead at the final change. There was an air of expectation around the ground, as Roys supporters dared to dream of a victory. St Kevins scored first through big man Dylan Jones and Fitzroy replied six minutes in. From there, however, St Kevins class and experience shone through and they completely took over the game, scoring the next 5.7 to escape with a 25 point victory, making it ten in a row. The Roys were simply undersized in defence, with Jones, Gilham and Nankervis proving 4

a headache. Despite coming away with a loss, they certainly managed to knock away some of the aura of invincibility that has surrounded St Kevins in recent weeks.

Old Brighton Grammarians played entertaining and determined football at South Road, defeating Mazenod by 43 points in the first of the return round matches. The team recovered from a disappointing loss at Brindisi last week and were quickly into gear.

Jack Rutter and Charlie King, largely unsighted last week, were prominent early and both goaled in the first term. The Tonners are still without a number of regulars but several players have stepped up when required. Young Jesse McLean raced about collecting possessions and Tom Gunning has been working tirelessly for some weeks now. The Tonners’ defence continued to work as a unit and forms the foundation of the team’s progress. Dylan Verney is having a brilliant season and yesterday his intercept marking continually closed off Mazenod’s forward thrusts. The Nodders never gave it away, but the Tonners led by four goals at the main break and by seven at the final change. In the finish, the Tonners simply combined better, used the ball efficiently, worked harder and had a winner in Charlie King, who kicked four and always presented when they needed to capitalise on their forward thrusts. The win puts the Tonners two games inside the top four.

Mazenod were served well by regular contributors Josh Cowan and Ben Phibbs, while Francis Reed returned after a few weeks out to kick a couple and be amongst the best.

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers consolidated second spot with a 63-point win against Hampton Rovers at Boss James Reserve. Leading by two points at quartertime, the Tigers sent through another 14 goals to five in the remaining three terms on the back of Luke Velluto’s five majors.

on-ground as the Tigers extended their current winning streak to three games. Matthew Care, George Hillary and Bryce Pewtress all contributed for the Rovers in their first games for the season. The Rovers now find themselves two games outside the top four and have a chance to bounce back when they visit Central Reserve to face Mazenod.

Old Melburnians did just enough to get over the top of AJAX by three points at Gary Smorgon Oval.

Missed opportunities cost the Jackas dearly as they finished with 6.13 compared to the Redlegs’ 7.10.

Marks and Measey were in good form for the Jackas, and Brad Caplan chipped in with three goals. Lachie Borthwick and Alex Armstrong continued excellent seasons for the OMs, who remain third and host Parkdale in Round 11. AJAX remain seventh on four wins, and face an important Round 11 clash

PREMIER B

Parkdale welcomed Caulfield to the Vultures Nest to fight out a contest which would see the loser occupy bottom of the ladder. The match was closely contested all day, with the ‘Fields holding a nine point lead at the half. The Vultures were determined not to let this one slip, and kicked 6.9 to 5.3 in the second half to get over the line by three points. The Vultures had several contributors. Charlie Dillon continued his good form, Josh Green was excellent with two goals in his first game since Round 2 and Brad Austin kicked a goal in his first game for the season. Tom Small and Declan Reilly kicked three for the ‘Fields, while Tim Nixon and Jay Neratzoglou again led the way.

MONASH’S 1000TH GAME CELEBRATION Monash Blues’ 1000th game was as good a celebration for the club as it has had this season.

It defined the difference between the top three and the rest of the division in a crushing victory over fellow finals contender Old Haileyburians.

The Bloods were defeated by 91 points as the Blues continue to push for top spot. In their way is Old Ivanhoe Grammarians, who kept its crown topping PEGS away from home. Elsewhere, Williamstown CYMS returned to the winners list over Oakleigh; Therry Penola’s woes remain as they slipped to Old Camberwell at John Pascoe Fawkner Reserve; while Marcellin kept in reach of the top two by beating Peninsula.

Old Haileybury’s challenge for a top two spot was shot down in emphatic fashion in travelling to Monash Blues. The Bloods stuck with Monash in the first quarter, but the game was lost from here on. After the even three goal term, the Bloods were held goalless for the next two quarters while the Blues tallied on 10 of its own. The 100 point mark was in sight midway through the last but fell just short. Another five goals in the fourth quarter brought the final margin to 91. Nicholas Petering (5) and Damien Hatch (4) led the goal kicking whilst Charlie Rossetti earned his second best on performance in as many matches.

When top of the ladder meets bottom you’d expect a serious thumping. PEGS who haven’t won a game all season came out like a completely different side, and while PEGS didn’t get the points it was a worthy fight. Old Ivanhoe created a 16 point buffer in the opening quarter, but it never grew exponentially as most were expecting. The second term was fairly even and PEGS won the third to pull the margin to a reachable 27 points. The Hoes improved in the final quarter kicking four goals to skip away 42 point victors. Bradley Thompson (6) and Ricky Jessop (4) were the match winners with 10 goals between the pair.

Williamstown CYMS revived the CY’s of 2014 in a rallying upset victory over Oakleigh. The CY’s put two on the board before the Krushers could blink and continued firing to end the first quarter 16 points to the good. An injury riddled Oakleigh played catch up for the following two quarters, reducing the deficit to 12 points at the half and eight points at three quarter time. By the last quarter the injuries toll had caught up to Oakleigh and the CY’s edged the advantage out again finishing at a game-high 21 points. Aaron Cloke kicked seven in the loss while Nicholas Ebinger was B.O.G for the CY’s with six goals.

Therry Penola’s season keeps unravelling as struggling Old Camberwell gained its second win of 2015. Therry were put on the back foot from the outset and could never recover. The Wellers extended the margin each quarter, well and truly earning the 56-point victory. Robert Campbell led the charge for Old Camberwell with a best on ground effort, capped with two goals. Jackson Eade fronted the goal kicking with five majors.

Troubles get worse for Therry Penola as it’ll be without Brock Egglestone for a number of weeks as he broke and dislocated three fingers.

Marcellin is all but claiming a top 2 spot barring percentage, as the Eagles stuck fat in a win over Peninsula. Marcellin did what they needed to earn the four points in what could’ve been a danger game. It is known that Peninsula can’t be taken lightly as they have the capability to cause an upset. Marcellin got the jump on Peninsula in the first quarter, but the Pirates quickly bounced back in the second to steal a 5 point lead at the main break.

third and four timely goals in the last secured the points. Matthew Bortolotto was best afield for the Eagles in the 27 point win.

This week, first battles second as Old Ivanhoe hosts Monash Blues. The two fight for top spot in a true eight point game – going out on a limb and tipping Monash to provide the upset. Marcellin travels to Old Camberwell, a victory will see the Eagles jump at least one of the top duo and expect it to do so. Peninsula plays Williamstown CYMS, at home predicting the Pirates to take the points. Old Haileyburians will return to the winning column as they face PEGS at home. And expect Oakleigh to do the same as they take on Therry Penola.

FOOTBALL AND LIFE LESSONS

CHADDY BREAK DUCK

Excuse me while I indulge for a moment in the wake of VAFA Media and Communications Manager and For the Love of the Game’s predominant contributor Andrew Leonard’s departure from the VAFA and my first column.

Every now and then football brings us down, perhaps for some more than others. We currently see clubs like Kew, Hampton Rovers and the Northern Blues making the VAFA look easy whilst Chadstone, Masala, South Mornington and Glen Eira (prior to the past four weeks) have suffered through periods of multiple losses and unfulfilling seasons.

However, the beauty of amateur football is that going along with our application to the game, whether as a player, official, supporter or just interested observer, we all lead busy and interesting lives. Occasionally we will feel the need to ask ourselves the inevitable question of ‘why do I bother?’ in the face of a moralesapping defeat and you might not be able to manage an answer.

One of the most beloved clubs in the VAFA, Chadstone, had not won a game in the senior competition of Division 4 since Round 16, 2012 until the weekend. That game was against Mt. Lilydale, some 1043 days ago, where Chadstone led from the outset to come out 20 point victors. On the weekend just passed, Chadstone was able to extend on their previous winning margin to beat Masala by 27 points.

When this happens to me, I remember that it is more than a game. It is a connection to the game, a connection to your team mates, a connection to your opponents, a connection to the ground, a connection to the community and a connection to the traditions and customs of this great game. There’s that innate connection to the game that makes it too hard to walk away after a few hard losses, an injury or something far more complicated occurring in your own existence outside football. There’s so much more to life than just football, but life wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful without our stupid, disappointing… and utterly spellbinding game of football.

10

Coach Ken Schwab (pictured above), spoke of his great pride in the win, stating ‘two weeks ago we sat down and had a meeting about the direction the club was heading. The players decided to take real ownership of the club and we’ve had a lot more spirit since then.’

It was Jake Farrugia’s 7 goals that proved decisive in a fantastic team effort from a club who have worked extremely hard to remain both competitive and self-sufficient. Their Reserves’ team also recorded a win, their second for the season. Chadstone face Box Hill North this weekend and a win there might see a few of the lads getting nervous about those prebooked early September footy trips! We also look forward to VAFA Tragics’ this week where we anticipate that ‘Fitzy’ might be eating some humble pie!

MONASH PLAYS 1000TH GAME

ORMOND AND KEW REUNITE One of the great stories thus far this season has been the terrific starts to the year by old foes Ormond and Kew in Division 1. Both clubs arrived for their E.E. Gunn Reserve clash with an undefeated record in the seniors and similar records to that in the ressies.

On Saturday, the Monash Blues senior team took to the field for the 1000th time in the VAFA. Fittingly, the game was against Old Haileyburians, their opponents in the grand final in our debut season, 1962.

A luncheon was held during the reserves game and was attended by 100 past players (including some from the inaugural season), supporters and sponsors.

The major pre-luncheon activity was past players attempting to locate their name on the banner listing the 3060 players who have pulled on the Turquoise and Silver Monash jumper since 1962. The generation gap was apparent post game with the current playing group preferring to take “selfies” in front of the banner.

Club President Julian Smith’s speech paid tribute to Doug Ellis, Keith Frearson (and their modern day equivalents) for creating and maintaining a Club culture that is inclusive of players from a broad range of backgrounds and abilities. This is particularly important because the club remains a home away from home for many country kids making their way down to live away from home in Melbourne.

The build up to the game saw historians trawling their textbooks to find out the last time the two had met in a clash, considering Ormond’s status as one of the competition’s former powerhouses and Kew’s history as an underdog. The 1989 clash in the Premier A Section was the last time the two played. This was Kew’s last season in Premier A and Ormond’s 3rd of 4 consecutive premierships in Premier A. Suffice to say that Ormond won on that occasion as Kew slumped to the bottom of the table. There are other great points of conjecture between the two clubs, including the great Brett Burden façade in which Brett, a former competition best and fairest winner moved to Ormond after many fine years playing at Kew. In the newest chapter of a storied and fractured past, the Bears became the hunter, beating Ormond by 63 points in a competition boilover.

The game was also notable for being between two great district clubs and it is fantastic to see the spirit of the two sides was well and truly living on both on and off the field on Saturday. I’m sure there will be a rematch come September.

Monash recorded a strong 91-point win over Old Haileybury to mark a great day of celebration for the club.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

BLUE COACH JOHN BARKER A NORTH OLD BOY and Hawthorn player and more relevantly, a North Old Boys/St Pats’ player in the aftermath of his storied career.

It is no secret that Carlton has had a series of resounding challenges this season, particularly in the wake of former coach Mick Malthouse’s sacking, but their fortunes appear to be slowly turning with the arrival of a new coach and a fresh pair of eyes… and a man who doesn’t frighten the daylights out of many of the AFL’s own media pundits! The coach in question is John Barker (pictured below), former Brisbane

in the Grand Final that year and NOBSPC were relegated. His second was another blinding performance under great duress. Breaking his hand early in the game, John still managed to fight through the pain to kick 5 goals.

According to the club’s historian, John played 3 games for the club through 2007-09. His first game against Old Carey in 2007 in Premier B saw John kick 5 goals and nearly pull off one of the great upsets. Old Carey went on to play

Furthermore, John’s two brothers both played over 200 games each for the club.

We wish John all the best in his new role at Carlton. Of course, considering the club he is coaching... we don’t want him to do too well.

DEMONS AND XAVS TRAIN TOGETHER Melbourne Football Club will join Old Xaverians at their home at Toorak Park on Thursday night for a ‘back to the heartland’ special training session. This comes in the wake of Xavier’s ‘back to school’ clash against Old Carey on this Saturday at the Roche Oval at Xavier College. Following the Melbourne squad training at 5PM, the under 19 players and coaching group will be taken through an indoor training session with a senior member of the MFC’s coaching group. Let’s hope Old Trinity boy and current Melbourne Demons’ midfielder Dom Tyson doesn’t get too nervous around so much of the red and black.

MARCELLIN PREMIERSHIP REUNION

On the 18th of July, Marcellin will be hosting a past players and officials luncheon, specifically to celebrate 30th anniversary of the 1985 Premier

B premiership side and the 10th anniversary of the 2005 U/19 premiership side. The event will be held at The Marcellin College Functions Room and tickets can be purchased online or at the door.

For the VAFA history buffs out there, Marcellin beat Caulfield Grammarians by 32 points in the 1985 Grand Final and the Unders smashed Collegians by 67 points in 2005. I’m sure it’ll feel like just yesterday when it all happened, as they reminisce on two of Marcellin’s golden years at the event.

COBRAS MOURN BEN COOKSON One of the greats of the Manningham Cobras Football Club, Ben Cookson, lost his battle with cancer over the weekend. Ben won multiple best and fairest awards, was captain of the club and was once runner up in the OJ Meehan medal. He was also a much loved figure at the club and will be sorely missed. The Manningham Amateur Football Club committee, playing group and supporters’ prayers and thoughts are with Ben’s family and friends during this difficult time.

WALKING AROUND ON BROKEN LEG Ormond Vice-Captain Alastair McCooke had a nasty injury a couple of weeks ago when he played in the Reserves.

His injury was certainly not for the faint hearted, and his X-Ray has apparently followed suit. As his father stated, ‘no problem, easily fixed’. Phew. We wish Alastair all the best in his recovery.

Congratulations to Emmaus St Leos’ ANTHONY BALLARD – Anthony is a true champion of the two blues, playing in his 17th year with the club. Beginning with the the U19's, he was a member of the 2000 U19's Premiership team. Bally established himself as one of the great Animals ruckman, winning the 2005 B&F and going close in several other years. A consistent and fearless finals player, Bally has re invented himself as an attacking, strong marking backman with a booming kick, and continues to lead from the front.

150

Congratulations to Old Xaverians’ NICK LARKINS – ‘Rog’ joined the club in 2002, playing two years in the U19’s. Rog has played in seven Old Xavs Premiership teams, one in the Menages and six with his beloved Crocs. Rog is a much loved figure down at the Diles for his on and off field exploits. He exhibits the trademark Larkins leap, is as tough as nails and is always making his teammates laugh. Congratulations Rog, hopefully there are many more games in the ‘red and black’ to come.

150

Congratulations to Emmaus St Leos’ MATTHEW MCIVER – Matty has reached 150 games with the Animals, beginning with two years in the U19's from 2006.

After persistent shoulder problems, he toured the world surfing to forget about football and build up his battered torso. Matty returned and established himself as an important swing player in the Seniors.

150

Congratulations to Emmaus St Leos’ SHAUN KAY – Beginning with two years in the U19's from 2004, Shaun captained the U19 Premiership side in 2005, and still has the same haircut from that great day. Kayser is a well liked Animal around the club, doing plenty of work on and off the field.

150

Congratulations to Ormond’s LACHLAN UPSTILL – Lachy joined the Ormond juniors in the U14’s. He played in the 2005 U19 Premiership, along with the Reserves back to back Premierships in 2007 and 2008. The only one missing here is a Senior Premiership, which he is aiming to achieve this season.

100

Congratulations to Prahran Assumption’s TIM MAYA – From the moment he donned the Two Blues jumper in his Under 19 days with Prahran-Caulfield, Tim became an integral part of the club. His infectious personality quickly made him a popular teammate and his friendships have enabled the club to secure some quality teammates. On field Maya is known for his pace and goal kicking prowess. Tim is a member of the leadership group and a proud Two Blue.

100

Congratulations to Yarra Valley’s DANIEL PERRY – Pez has been at the club for many years and thoroughly deserves this milestone. A flash up and down the wing, Pez has played across the Seniors and Reserves throughout his career.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

100

Congratulations to Monash Blues’ ANDY YOUNG – Since arriving at the Club in 2009, there haven’t been many players to have a more outstanding first 100 games. Youngy's list of individual accolades runs deep, particularly the 2013 Club B&F and wearing the ‘Big V’ in Ireland. He is undoubtedly deserving of all his achievements given his hard work and commitment on the training track and during a game. He is a fantastic clubman, team member and a great leader.

100

Congratulations to St Kevins’ PATRICK KEELY – Determined backman Pat Keely plays his 100th game for SKOB this weekend. One of three brothers to play for SKOB, Pat is a member of the leadership group and also captained the U19’s when he began at the Club in 2008. His hulking physique, damaging skills and ability to drag teammates with him make Pat an invaluable part of the Club.

100

Congratulations to Bulleen Templestowe’s CAM AZER – Cam will play his 100th Senior game the Club this weekend.

100

Congratulations to Swinburne’s ZAC SCRASE – Zac has done well reaching this milestone whilst he has endured two knee reconstructions. His determination is unparalleled, proving to be a big game player, able to play in virtually any position. He was a member of the 2012 Senior Grand Final side and adjudged 2014 Best Finals Player. His work on the weekly newsletter is also a must read, especially his infamous comic strips.

50

Congratulations to Yarra Valley’s STEVE DONALD – A Premiership player in 2012, Stevie has developed into a most dangerous forward with the ability to achieve the impossible by way of mark or goal. He’s consistently set the standard with his hard running up and down the ground and is regularly rewarded with a bag of goals.

50

Congratulations to Emmaus St Leos’ CHRIS LOWTHER – Chris has reached 50 games in his fourth year with the Animals. Hot Dogs is a quick onballer and a prodigious kick, especially within 60 metres of the big sticks.

DIVISION 1

William Balme

AND THAT’S MY KEW TO EXIT E.E. Gunn Reserve played host to a wonderful afternoon of football on Saturday, and a lively post-match function in the aftermath as two old rivals finally reunited for the first time since 1989.

Whilst there were other key match ups occurring across Melbourne at the same time, the attention of much of the VAFA was on the Live Score App as Kew mounted a challenge to former Premier A powerhouse Ormond. It would be folly of me to continue to refer to the ‘old days’ as the dynamic and format of the VAFA has evolved to be more conducive to clubs who have a relationship with a school, however the romance of the matchup is something that I, among many others, was drawn to. Two district clubs undefeated, with Kew coming so close to the bottoming out in 2010 and Ormond still reeling from years of promotion and relegation. The script was perfectly written for cracking game, on the back of an Ormond victory by a solitary point in the reserves.

Clive Waterhouse was not in attendance for the big game, however big Mal Michael was spotted amongst the bumper audience, again not pulling on the famous Brown and Blue and raising the question of just when the three time Brisbane Lions’ premiership player will don the boots. Back to the game, and both sides came out in a huff, with a fierce tension in the air that threatened to boilover very early on. On the scoreboard it was Kew, led by Ned Rohrt who kicked a cracking first quarter goal and laid countless tackles, who rushed out to a 3-goal lead at quarter time. The bigger bodies of Ormond kept Kew on their toes, however it was the ferocious run and carry and defensive interceptions that allowed Kew to take the ascendency into half time, and therein after, they retained control to win by 63-points.

Samuel Barnes and Andrew Brazzale engaged in a fascinating battle in Kew’s forward half, just as Michael Cochrane and Matthew Martinov did at the other end. Whilst there were whispers that Ormond had half of their starting 22 out, it provided little solace and further fuel for the much anticipated fixture (or perhaps fixtures) that will occur later in the season. For Kew, Darcy Spencer and Tim ‘BWS’ Allman were crucial in forward surges, while Chris Coghlan played tirelessly for 16

@balmey21 Ormond.

The other much anticipated matchup took place at the Como, where Old Geelong stormed back in the last term to knock off 4th placed St Mary’s Salesian by 29 points. It was a repeat of 2 weeks earlier against Kew for the Saints who rallied in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, only to run out of puff in the last. Callum Wood was a key absentee for Old Geelong, but their proficiency up forward was again on display with Aaron Bird kicking 4 and Jack Mc’Happy’Meel kicking a couple and clinging onto some strong contested grabs. The disappointment of the last quarter fadeout would be amplified for Jess Sinclair considering their 0-3 record against sides above them this year, however the form of Jackson Strangward (4 goals) would be particularly pleasing. Cameron Butler led from the backline along with VC Nick Baum for St Mary’s. For the victors, the spoils as they now sit in a legitimate position to wrestle 2nd spot away from Ormond. Hugh McKay was excellent in the forward half.

Bulleen Templestowe was absolutely dominant in a meteoric performance against Yarra Valley, who has been seemingly condemned to Division 2 with this 76-point loss to the fellow cellar dwellers. The result compounds Whitefriars’ lack of depth and puts the Bullants in a position to remain a Division 1 participant. With 43 shots to 17, the Yarra Valley boys were basically relegated to witches’ hats, such was the dominance and spread of the Bullants. Bill Tourogianis was meticulous and dynamic for the victors, but you could make a claim for half the side being named best on. Yarra had little to smile about, although youngster Nick Maclennan was a saving grace.

Early in the 3rd quarter the game was in the balance at Turner Road Reserve as both mid table sides traded blows, as a NOBS/St Pats goal saw them take the lead and the momentum against Old Mentonians. From that point on, Old Mentonians kicked 16 of the next 18 goals DIVISION 1 — TIPS IN BOLD NOBS/St Pats v Ormond Old Geelong v Whitefriars St Marys Salesian v Yarra Valley Bulleen Templestowe v Old Mentonians Prahran Assumption v Kew

to smear NOBSPC’s finals chances into a putty not seen since Robin Williams’ brilliant sci-fi pic Flubber. It was a wonderful display from the Panthers, who had come to struggle with numbers in the weeks leading up to this clash.

Dustan Mills continued his fine season, booting 6 and taking his season tally to 29. Old Mentonians’ dash and exuberance proved too much for the workmanlike NOBSPC lads, who have become a source of constant frustration for my erratic tipping results. After beating Prahran Assumption, I made the presumption (boy, oh boy) that they’d handle a fierce challenge from Old Mentonians.

However, once again Keiffer Smith-Cameron (the hyphenated star) and Kyle Conlon led an array of talented and focused men to a huge 92-point win.

Matthew Keown was basically a lone hand, with 3 for NOBSPC, as their top 4 hopes whittle away.

Prahran Assumption won their first game under new coach Anthony McMahon in a display that would warm the hearts of their supporters.

The game was locked up at ¾ time, 59 apiece,

however a 5 goal to 1 last quarter was enough to manage a gusty Whitefriars’ performance. In a scrappy contest, the better side is usually the one who can muster enough courage to wrest the contested ball tally out of the hands of the other side. The Two Blues managed to do that, and with John Robbins kicking 4 and another terrific performance from Gerard Hogarth, Prahran was finally able to play a quality final term in order to gain a victory and release some of the tension that has been hovering over Toorak Park for much of the year.

DIVISION 2

@BrentyMann

BLUES ON FINALS MARCH Northern Blues kept its finals hopes alive with an emphatic 33-point win over St Johns at W.R Ruthven Reserve. The win comes after two disappointing losses to Eltham and Melbourne High. It was certainly the Blues’ best for the year. The Blues led at every change and simply outworked and outmuscled a St Johns outfit which has had a very bleak fortnight. After storming to 8–0, the JOCs have dropped the last two games which have highlighted some deficiencies in their game. The Blues’ ability to push numbers behind the ball, press-up on the JOCs and create turnovers and then capitalise going forward were pivotal to the win. St Johns simply butchered the ball by hand and foot, with their decision making under pressure well below par. Blues’ key-forward Lachlan McRedmond was a beacon in attack, marking strongly all-day and kicking six. Rebounding Blues’ defender Reed Jepson continually stifled St Johns’ forays forward and was both offensively and defensively sound.

Damon Marcon vindicated his selection in the VAFA Representative side with a flawless display through the midfield. St Johns was beaten on every line with ruckman Dan Cattolico a shining light. It’s testing times now for Ben McGee and the JOCs with next week’s game against a plucky Melbourne High a must win. For Northern, they face Division 2 yardstick Ivanhoe in what looms as the match-of-the-round.

It was a shoot-out between opposing keyforwards at East Caulfield Reserve as Monash leapt out of the relegation zone with a stunning 54-point win over Elsternwick. Wicks’ goalkicker Justin Hunter booted 7 but it was Reynolds for the Gryphons with six who proved the matchwinner. Monash recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this year and are well on their way to once again avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth. With scores tied at quarter-time, Monash’s inaccuracy kept Elsternwick in touch, but for the following three quarters, the Gryphons flexed 18

their muscle. It was a slow burn for the second and third terms with the last a nine-goal blitzkrieg

by Monash. The win puts them a game clear of the relegation zone and gives Monash a much needed confidence booster going into this week’s clash against Old Paradians. For Elsternwick, they welcome an in-form Eltham, who should relish the confined spaces of the back oval at VAFA HQ. Eltham would have headed to Lindsay Hassett Oval keen on a percentage boost against cellar-dwellers South Melbourne. What they got however was a committed Districts outfit that proved very hard to shake. In a gruelling encounter, the Districts put in one of their performances of the season as they pushed the Turtles up until half-time. Eltham, no doubt stinging from its first-half performance, banged on 11 goals to five after the main change and ranaway with the game. The Turtles found another avenue to goal as Jamie Hyndman bobbed-up with four majors and gelled effortlessly with elusive forward Chris Mizzi who bagged thee.

Districts’ forward Jordy Heis made the most of his opportunities up-forward bagging six as veteran Elliot Costello slotted three. South Melbourne will want to build on its first-half performance from last week as it takes on Richmond Central, who must win to keep its faint finals glimmer alive.

Eltham head to Elsternwick knowing full well that a convincing win could see them leap-frog St Johns and take second spot in the ladder.

The Ivanhoe juggernaut rolled on as it stormed past Richmond Central with a scintillating sevengoal last quarter that sealed a commanding 63-point win. Fresh off its stunning upset over St Johns, the Hoes were tested by a resolute Snakes’ outfit which simply couldn’t cover Ivanhoe’s raft of attacking options. The Hoes registered 11 goalkickers with Mitch Lovell again the stand-out DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD Monash v Old Paradians Elsternwick v Eltham Ivanhoe v Northern Blues Richmond Central v South Melbourne

with five majors. Richmond Central held its own and did its best to stay in touch with the ladderleaders for the majority if the day, but simply were a rung below. Ivanhoe are now not just ladder-leaders, barring injuries or a massive form slump seem destined for promotion. Richmond Central has showed glimpses this year and are a classic middle of the road side. Their best is good enough but they don’t show it consistently enough. The Snakes will go in warm favourites against South Melbourne this week and will need a solid win to stay in touch with the top-four and also consolidate their spot in Div 2. Ivanhoe faces a huge test of its dominance as it welcomes a Northern Blues side starting to hit its straps. The Blues in recent years have done their best work in the latter half of the year and seem poised to replicate that trend.

Old Paradians recorded a workmanlike 45-point

win over a developing Melbourne High on the back of a six-goal haul from key-forward Michael Bellizia. In a tight first quarter, Melbourne High, if not for inaccuracy, should have been ahead and not three points in arears at quarter-time.

Unfortunately for the Unicorns, that’s where the good news stopped as the Raiders took total control and slammed on 13 goals to five in the ensuing three quarters. The result was no shock, and Paradians should secure a similar result against Monash this week. Richmond Central should bounce back this week as it hosts South Melbourne, with Snakes key-forward Jake Munro surely licking his lips and looking forward to feasting on a leaky Districts’ defence.

DIVISION 3

William Balme

GLEN EIRA ∑, EMMAUS 10 It is odd to return to the Division that I first wrote for back in 2013, but here I am as the guest columnist in Gavin’s one week absence. Amongst many other VAFA pundits, I consider Division 3 the hardest division to get out of. There are 12 sides, some of them scrambling to get out of the division of death, others who have almost accepted their own fate of a decade long plight of being submerged in the quick sand. Either way, it becomes a matter of striking when the iron is hot in regard to escaping up to Division 2 and beyond. In this case, Emmaus St Leos is in perfect shape for a tilt at the before-mentioned regions, but from there the situation becomes a little trickier. I’ll stick to Gav’s method of choice in analysing another week of cracking footy.

AQUINAS DEFEATED HAWTHORN Hawthorn nearly pulled off a Christmas (in July) miracle comeback when they stormed home against Aquinas, only to come up a kick short.

After a 6 goal to 2 first term in Aquinas’ favour, the Richard Ogge show turned up as the big man kicked 6 which gave the contest a new life.

The battles raged on throughout the day in a fiery contest, but eventually it just came down to the clock allowing Aquinas to outlast the Hawks.

Sam Gold continued his scintillating form for the visitors, but the match winner for Aquinas was Jai Perrett who was simply brilliant at Centre Half Forward and around the ground. He was well supported by the slight yet tenacious Russell Foster. Hawthorn sit in a perilous position at 4-5 after 10, as Glen Eira’s resurgence continues to inspire hope that they may be able to snatch a spot in the 6. Aquinas go into their second bye in the knowledge that they have a top 4 position basically sewn up.

EMMAUS ST LEOS DEFEATED UHS-VU A gargantuan second and fourth quarter into the win helped pave the way for another comfortable Emmaus St Leos victory, their 10th in a row. After last year ended in heartbreak, the Animals have reaffirmed their place as the one most likely to make the jump up to Division 2.

UHS-VU had patches of good play, but were simply outclassed by a formidable opponent.

Matthew Lalor kicked 5 and was supported by 20

@balmey21 a host of multiple goal scorers and a pristine performance from Al Mcdougall off the half back flank. It appears to be the same old story for UHS-VU who can’t seem to bridge the gap on the very best but still remain finals bound.

Sam McSweeney kicked 4 in a fine individual performance and the Benstead brothers tried hard but they simply were not good enough for a side at the top of their game.

ALBERT PARK DEF BY POWERHOUSE Powerhouse has relieved the pressure of possible relegation with a thrilling 4 point win over Albert Park. The game’s importance, considering the makeup of the table could see 6th spot not even requiring an over .500 winning percentage, couldn’t be accentuated enough. The two teams have faced each other many times since Albert Park won promotion to Division 4 in 2010 and played in some terrific games. This week it was Power House who fell over the line at the final siren. Tom Collett was simply outstanding with 3 goals, hardnosed attack and clever use of the ball. He was ably supported by Steve Divine and Jacob Whelan. For Albert Park, they lurch back into relegation territory and will rue the lost opportunity with the game even at ¾ time.

Justin Antenucci played an excellent game, kicking 3.

SWINBURNE UNI DEF BY WEST BRUNSWICK Dylan Muscat continued his fine form for West Brunswick with 4 goals as his team continued their fine season in Division 3 with a 21 point win. The former Albert Park forward was simply superb, grabbing a host of contested grabs and turning a game that was in the balance for much of the day into something of a premonition.

Emmaus St Leos appear to be almost unbeatable when taking into account their incredible percentage but West Brunswick is certainly the next to the pin. This is no disrespect to Swinburne who were very competitive for most of the afternoon on the back of fantastic games from Ashley Woodhead and Joldy Bradley, but West Brunswick appeared just a little too classy.

Warwick Baker was again terrific for the victors.

ELEY PARK DEFEATED BY GLEN EIRA The renewed zest for life at Glen Eira continued with a come from behind thrilling win against Eley Park. Eley Park is quickly evaporating from finals contention with yet another loss and unfortunately for them they are playing Glen Eira of June, not Glen Eira of the past few seasons.

Such is the gravity of Glen Eira’s resurgence, they have shot from a winless start to 4-5 and out of the 6 by percentage. It truly is wonderful for the competition to see this side doing well again. The man with the longest name in the VAFA (Julius Waras Cartensen) snagged 5 and was well supported by gun mids Samuel Jeanes and Callum Buchanan. For Eley Park, they simply don’t have enough goal kicking support for Noel Bahnsen and Dec Mitchell, who are the only players to kick more than 10 goals this year for the Sharks. They kicked all 10 of their goals on the weekend in their 16 point loss.

DIVISION 3

Emmaus St Leos (1st) currently appear untouchable (although they were in the same boat last year) and will manage Swinburne (5th), La Trobe (11th) and Albert Park (8th) fight off in a crucial relegation battle game and I’m tipping La Trobe to win and cause further contention down the bottom. It will be the home teams of West Brunswick (2nd) and Hawthorn (6th) to knock off their respective opponents, Power House (9th) and Eley Park (10th). Both these two teams are languishing down the bottom so they’ll be desperate for an upset. All the home sides. Enjoy your footy.

DIVISION 4

Rich Hummerson

MID YEAR REPORT CARD After a tumultuous fortnight in Division 4, with upsets causing us to lose conviction with our predictions and sending a number of coaches back to the drawing board, order was finally restored this week, with four of the five favourites getting up. The outlier created by a triumphant win by Chadstone, saluting for the first time since 2012, sending the crowd at Jordan Reserve into a rapturous frenzy.

It was a perfect day for football, the sodden grounds had time to heal, the rain and bitterly cold winds went into a brief recess, and the sun broke free to give the pins some much needed vitamin D. And with the winter solstice now in the rear view mirror, we can hopefully expect Mother Nature to repeat the dose in the ensuing weeks.

It would be remiss of me to neglect to kick proceedings off with the historical victory at Jordan Reserve as the Chadstone faithful dusted off the vocal cords (for those that actually knew it) and belted out the song for the first time in years.

In stark contrast to, well, every game in the past three seasons, Chadstone lead from pillar to post, running out victors against Masala by 27 points.

Jake Farrugia put together his best game of the season, slotting seven, and Keith Biggs looked to have his own footy out there. For Masala it was the ever-reliable Dean Maher and Wayne McMahon who stood tall throughout a dark day.

Equipped with their arsenal of their shiny new, and incredibly talented players, Mount Lilydale loaded up the car with their mid-season acquisitions and headed West down the Maroondah Highway to face Canterbury. A date with the ladder leading side awaited them. Almost overnight, Mount Lilydale has transformed from a cellar dweller to a genuine premiership contender, and similar to their past two games, piled on the goals early against Canterbury, stunning the premiership favourites. While the early blow stunned the Cobras, it certainly didn’t kill them and the Cobras piled on an incredible 20 goals in the second half, squashing Mount Lilydale by 105-points. James Wilson was sensational for the home side, booting seven, and Rowan Walmsley played like a man half 22

his age. Mount Lilydale was well supported by Josh Ingram, Josh Ramadan and Jarrod Runge.

Manningham has been crippled in recent weeks by injury and sojourns to Bali to stock up on Bintang singlets, so despite South Mornington’s lack of success this year, this was very much a danger game. After South Mornington ran out victors in the scoobies, the concern on Coach Jock McDonald’s face could be seen on the other side of the bay. Fortunately for Jock, his concern would prove unnecessary as Manningham got off to an impeccable start and won by a massive margin.

Manningam welcomed back Tom Bell who was up to his lofty standards and Daniel Wills, who helped himself to a bag of six. For South Mornington, Jake Shepherd and Jake Tunks impressed the Tigers’ faithful.

After a dream start to the year, North Brunswick has been left to lick their wounds in recent weeks after back-to-back hidings from Canterbury and Mount Lilydale. A date with their northern neighbours Parkside, would provide the perfect vehicle to get their season back on track. The Bulls dutifully obliged, winning by 41-points and hopefully, realigning their season in the process. As usual, Parkside was well supported by Shane McLaren, who surely must be a ‘monty’ for the League Best and Fairest, and Isaac Romano, who showed poise up forward, kicking three. Ben Gallagher was sensational again for the Bulls, kicking six, and Jarryd Dimarco capped off a brilliant month with another best afield performance.

Have Box Hill North finally cracked the Westbourne Grammarians code by keeping Dale Collins almost goalless? Well they lost, so technically no, but they got very close, far closer than anyone was expecting. Box Hill lead from the first bounce, Cam Liston and Toby Manning putting in brilliant DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD Masala v Mt Lilydale South Mornington v Westbourne Gr.

performances, and an unlikely victory beckoned.

But a scoreless final quarter would spell disaster for the travelling Box Hill North with Westbourne running over them to post a 14-point victory. In the absence of a Dale Collins display, the other Westbourne forwards were finally called upon, Justin Johns and Mitch Ferrie kicking thee apiece.

Cam Liston and Toby Manning for Box Hill were joined by Ben Marcakis and Dylan Liistro in the best for Box Hill.

been waiting for will be too strong for Point Cook.

This week I’m selecting Mount Lilydale to be far too strong for Masala and Westbourne to inflict a hiding on South Mornington. Box Hill North will end a fantastic week for Chadstone, and should run out very comfortable winners. Manningham, who continue to bolster their stocks as their playing list returns with enough Bintang singlets and pirated DVDs to sink a ship, should beat Parkside and Canterbury, in the game we’ve all

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 RISING STAR – JAMES FLETCHER – PENINSULA OB Congratulations to James Fletcher who is this week’s Rising Star nomination. James joined Peninsula OB earlier this year to play alongside his brother George. The 19 year old set the tone for pre-season demanding more of his team mates and continuing to raise the training standards each week. Playing in the midfield each week, James has been in Peninsula OB’s best players 8 of his 10 games due to his elite skills, tackling work rate and on-field leadership similar to Dan Hannebery of the Sydney Swans. James looks a future captain of the club striving to be the best he can be and ensuring that his team mates are too. It looks like Peninsula OB’s have recruited a gold mine in James with a bright future ahead of him and the club.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1994 and playing his first full season of senior football.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2010 Leaders in C Section and undefeated, Caulfield Gr. hosted near neighbours, Ormond, who were determined to stay clear of relegation. In the first quarter, former Caulfield student, Rob Chisholm, following the family tradition for Ormond, was a real handful and the Monds only trailed by 7 points at the first break. Caulfield set about their business in the second quarter with 6.5 to 1 behind and effectively sealed the game. Ormond outscored Caulfield in the third quarter but Caulfield ran out easy winners 18.11 to 8.3. Best – B Sinclair (5), Johnston, Winter, Wood, Carboni, Fagan (Caulfield) and Chisholm (5), M Hine, Upstill, Martinov, T Hine, Allan (Ormond).

In D1 Section, Monash Blues held their second place with an easy win over bottom placed Sth Melbourne Districts with a whopping 31.16 to 5.2 victory. In the process, Monash’s McKenzie kicked 13 goals straight in an outstanding performance. This feat broke Christian Gregory’s record of 12 goals in 1999.

Best – A McKenzie (13), Parsons (6), Smyth, Hickey, Young, McCart (Monash) and O’Dea, Butler, Aquilina, Brendan, Nunn, Foster (Sth Melb).

The VAFA’s Under 23 team would take on Tasmania in Ulverstone and a win would ensure the VAFA would prove to be the winners of the Australian Amateur Football U23 Championship title. The squad was – David Fayman (AJAX), Bart Walsh (Banyule), Paul Florence (Bulleen Templestowe), Stuart Inglis, Will Tardif, Trent Zimbachs (Collegians), Nathan Harris, Tyson Hunt Joshua Oakley, Nicholas Roberts (De La Salle), Chris Gleeson, Ryan Semmel (Hampton Rovers), Michael Dewar, Tom Jakobi (Old Brighton), Andrew Clarke (Old Camberwell), Grant Baldwin, Lachlan McQueen-Miscamble (Old Carey), Josh Freezer, Will Lewis, Thomas Paule (Old Melburnians), Sebastian Angus, Tom Campbell, George Dick, Alistair Pike (Old Scotch), Brendan Iezzi (Old Trinity), Jon Mercuri, Nick Wynne (Old Xaverians), Will Coghlan (Peninsula), Gareth Phillips (Rupertswood), Jack Hellier (St Bedes Mentone Tigers), Karl Wissell (SKOBS), Charlie Richardson (Uni Blacks), Alastair Austin, Mark McLeod, Dan Nicholson, Jack Watts (Uni Blues).

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 In A Section, Old Xaverians held on to top place but didn’t have it all their own way against bottom placed Collegians. Although the Xavs held the lead for the whole game, Collegians simply would not go away and were only 4 points behind at the final siren. Best – Arnold, Chatfield, Ford, Purss, McDonald, Bingham (Old Xavs) and Dixon, Unsworth, Bull (4), Blumfield, A Baxter, Lockett (Coll). Jason McNeice and Peter James were the field umpires.

42

In B Section there were three clubs sharing top place with 8 wins each; De La Salle, Old Brighton and Old Ivanhoe. De La and Old Ivanhoe had very easy wins but Old Brighton were strongly challenged by St Bedes Mentone Tigers with barely a goal between them throughout the game. It took a strong finish for the ‘Tonners’” to get the points, 18.11 to 14.13 and the coveted ‘double chance’ was still up for grabs. Best – Perrett (4), Crilly, Mason, Hendra, Morley, Dawes (Old Brighton) and J Connelly, Corda, J Lynch, Beasley, Collins, Kane (StBedesMT). Richard Eastwood and Dash Peiris were the field umpires.

B Section senior coaches were Steve Wright (Caulfield Grammarians), Mark Lowe (De La Salle), Mike McArthur-Allen (Mazenod), David Skinner (MHSOB), Tony Egan (Nth Old Boys), Greg McLoughlin (Old Brighton), David Calthorpe (Old Essendon), Gerrard Sholly (Old Ivanhoe), Russell Barnes (St Bedes Mentone Tigers) and Pat Mannix (Whitefriars Old Collegians).

Nine players were selected in the Under 23 All Australian team – Ben Waite, Tim McKinnon, David Boundy, Michael Barker, Joel Rice, Ari Lewski, Daniel Cullinan, Damien Rayson and Huw Lacey.

The only undefeated teams after 11 rounds were Elsternwick (D4 Section), Old Xaverians (A Section Reserves), De La Salle (B Reserves), Old Geelong (D2 Reserves) and Whitefriars (Club 18 Section 3).

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 In A Section, North Old Boys met Collegians in an important game in relation to relegation positioning.

The explosive start by Collegians, 6.6 to 1.1 by quarter time made it very difficult for NOBS although they came back strongly after the first break. Collegians rallied again in the last term and but for inaccurate kicking could have done much better than the final winning result, 13.18 to 11.9. Collegians now had a handy two game advantage over the bottom teams North Old Boys and Old Trinity. Best – Dilena, Stubbs, Grigg, Harrison (4), Daly, Davidson (Collegians) and Carroll, Barker (4), Petinis, Klvac, Conti, Martin (NOBS).

A Section umpires were Marty Jackson, Graham Thwaites, Steve McCarthy, Justin Toohey, Robert Bell, Peter Gersch, Wayne Hinton, Mark Bushfield and Colin Segota.

At Central Reserve, Bulleen Templestowe put a dent into the security of Mazenod’s fourth spot when they made the most of the third quarter. Mazenod held a 4 point lead at half time but Bulleen Temp kicked four goals in the third quarter and then held off a fast finishing Mazenod for a 5 point victory, 11.10 to 10.11. The Bullants were well served by Pete George in the pivot, Graham Vimpani at centre half back, ‘Rusty’ Prior at half forward and rover Dean Tulloch.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Mazenod’s best were Andrew Pickering on the ball, Tim Chilcott in defence (also booted 2 up forward) and skipper Chris Belleville on the wing.

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 The 16th Australian Amateur Football Carnival was held in Melbourne and experienced controversy when Andrew Smythe (Bulleen Templestowe) had failed to inform the VAFA that he had played with Melbourne Reserves the previous Saturday and therefore became an ineligible player as no new permit form had been lodged. This cost Victoria the game they had won on the scoreboard against Western Australia. As a result Victoria had to beat South Australia in the final game but failed to do so and South Australia (12 points) won the Carnival from Western Australia (8), Victoria (4), Tasmania (0).

Seven Victorians were named in the All-Australian team – Rohan Brown (Old Melburnians), Mick Deveson (De La Salle), Simon Eishold (Ormond), Peter Gittos (Ivanhoe), John Kanis (Caulfield Grammarians), Peter Sherwen (Old Scotch) and Nick Wilton (Old Xaverians).

This was South Australia’s fifth Carnival win and the second win in Melbourne, the previous being in 1973 when the Carnival was held at the MCG. Rod Thomas (Tasmania) won the AAFC Best & Fairest Medal from Nick Wilton (Victoria) and Leigh Sprylan (West Australia).

Gary (Lumpy) Rosewarne played his 250th game for Elsternwick and had enjoyed a terrific amateur career including highlights – Victorian Amateur representative in 1981, Competition best and fairest in 1982, 4 club best and fairest up to this stage and five seasons as Elsternwick Senior Coach. Lumpy was also a Life Member of his Club and still follows Elsternwick and amateur football as fervently as ever.

Old Geelong congratulated Tony Brocksopp on breaking the club record for games played when he ran out for the 227th time. Tony had played 176 consecutive games and was a long serving member of the club committee.

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 Reservoir Old Boys made a statement early in ‘the match of the day’ against St Bernards in A Section.

Reservoir took control in the first quarter, slowed slightly in the second before regaining control in the third and final terms to emerge as winners 15.10 to 10.20. Reservoir’s best were Galea, Crook, Jarvie, Slater, Paulka and Bates. For St Bernards - Burgin, Santamaria, Snowden, Mitchell, Angel and Drennan.

The ‘Bernies’ would have rued the lost opportunities missing so many shots on goal!

Melbourne High School Old Boys belatedly THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

acknowledged the efforts of their Club Secretary, Daryl Price, for his on-field effort of 100 games played. It was actually Daryl’s 121st game in this round as the previous Secretary had overlooked Daryl’s century earlier in the previous season by not accounting for Daryl’s games in the Juniors. Better late than never!

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 Editor George McTaggart’s headlines read ‘Collegians crush Blacks’. Although the 27 point victory by the old boys of Wesley College may not have been real proof of a ‘crushing’, the fact that Collegians were on top and the Blacks were second probably justified George’s comments. The score line of 8.8 to 3.11 resulted in Collegians taking a two game, plus plenty of percentage, lead over Old Paradians who now moved into second place ahead of the Blacks, Best players – Lucas, Tucker, Ferguson, Read, D Walduck, Dunn (Collegians) and Porter, Balzey, Lee, Barker, Tuck, Fleming (Uni Blacks).

The ‘Club Histories’ feature in The Amateur Footballer in this round covered the ANZ Bank Amateur Football Club who were born into the VAFA in 1954 but to date had yet to win a premiership. Geoff Ridgeway, star amateur footballer with 194 games as a player, had taken over as the Bank’s coach. The ANZ Club boasted league footballers Bernie Henderson (Collingwood) and Footscray star Bob Spargo among its former playing ranks. The former E S & A Bank Football Club were invited to merge with ANZ in the early seventies after the two banks merged as commercial entities but only a few E S & A players were left to take the option!

60 YEARS AGO – 1955 In the Junior Section it looked like a boilover at Old Scotch when bottom placed Bellfield led at quarter time and half time. By the last break, Scotch had fought back to lead by one point but then piled on the pressure to run out winners 9.12 to 4.8. The Scotch summary of the game read – ‘It must be admitted that Bellfield has improved. While we floundered around trying to anticipate the tricky bounce, they went in and got it’.

ODD SPOT There had been a number of leading goal-kickers to have won the award in both A and B Sections in separate seasons but only Rick Harley, a star player with MHSOB and also a rep player, achieved it in separate decades. Rick won the goal kicking in A Section in 1966 and later won B Section in 1973. His win in A Section with 80 goals was the highest total in 12 seasons in the top grade.

MEGT UNDER 19

MEGT U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12

XAVS TAME THE BEAST, ENTER FLAG RACE It was billed the game of the round, and it well and truly lived up the hype. Old Xaverians sent a stern warning to the rest of the competition with a 33 point victory against ladder leaders St.Bernards at Stradbroke Park. Vander Haar, fresh off his Big V selection was dominant and skipper Anderson followed suit with 3 goals and ample possessions. Wynne booted 3 also as the FWD set up worked perfectly.

Ronke proved a handful for the Old Xavs defence adding 4 goals to his tally of 7 last week, while Jed Carey showed why he is one of the competition’s elite players with a strong display. It was a terrific game of football that will definitely lead to plenty of lessons learnt for both sides. A Cracking Contest between two heavyweights, let’s hope there is more to come later in the year.

Beaumaris returned to the winners’ list with a 30 point victory over a gallant De La Salle at Banskia Reserve. The Sharks took a 9pt lead into the first change and then kicked 5 goals to 2 in the second to take a 32 point lead into half time. The Sharks continued to kick plenty of goals on their way to a 5 goal win but De La never gave up and they can take a lot away from the contest. Zagni continues to be a revelation up forward, kicking 5 in a BOG performance, and Gibbins booted 4. For De La, McGaw kicked 3 and was impressive in the defeat, as was Anastasio and Vawser. Beauy did what they had to, to stay in the top 4, De La will need to get their skates on and start winning if they want to see Finals action in 2015.

Scotch returned to the winners list for the first time since round 3 and did so in emphatic style against a struggling Old Trinity side at Camberwell. A tight opening term saw Scotch go in 7 points ahead and many thought Trinity was up for the fight. Scotch rallied though and booted 5 goals to 1 in the second term, and ended up 25 goals to 5. Anderson kicked 8 for the home side and Stewart was not far behind with 7 goals as both were outstanding for the Cardinals. Trinity’s 44

debut season in Premier is dire straits, as they sit in relegation zone.

Old Melburnians, on recent form, appear to be a resurging force, despite their lowly position on the table. They had a miserable start to the season, but wrestled back a bit of form since and are now not playing bad football, in a similar vein to Carlton. They were right in the game against an exciting Uni Blues side who led by 13 points at QT before an OMs fightback saw the home team down by 6 at the Half. Although, they fell short by 30 points, they showed plenty of fight. Jess Kicked 5 for Uni Blues, and Curnow was their best player.

McFarlane went one better and booted 6 and was Old Melburnians best player.

St.Kevins did it easy against Uni Blacks, recording a 68 point victory at T.H.King further cementing their spot in the top 4. The Blacks never looked like getting close and found it hard to contain Olsen, Bonacci, and Clough who each kicked 3 goals.

Lewis and Massey were unstoppable, with both lads getting plenty of the football throughout the day. For Blacks, 6 goals to Mills was the only thing worth cheering about as he played his best game to date against a pretty handy opposition.

St.Kevins have a mouth-watering match up with the Old Xaverians next week at Xavier College.

CAULFIELD PICK AT BONGIORNO GIVES XAVS VULTURES’ CORPSE MORNING WAKE UP CALL Parkdale Vultures’ nine game winning streak was brought to a stunning end on Saturday, falling to a surging Caulfield Grammar outfit by 55 points. The Vultures were unrecognizable from the previous week, with a number of key players missing. Caulfield took the ascendancy early, bolting out to an early four goal lead. They never relinquished the lead, and even added to the final margin by bullying Parkdale in the second half. Lachlan Topp and Harry Schaffer both contributed multiple goals, with Schaffer best afield in the win.

Nick Reeves-Smyth booted eleven goals to help his Old Ivanhoe squad sink Collegians in another heavy defeat for the men in purple on Saturday. The ‘Hoers slammed on ten straight in the first quarter and quite simply couldn’t miss. At one stage the margin threatened to eclipse 200-points but to Collegian’s credit they dug deep in the last quarter to stem the bleeding. Reeves-Smyth was clear best afield, and Ben Oliver collected plenty of leather in the 155-point thumping.

Old Carey will be ruing a missed opportunity to jump a game clear in second position, falling to a gritty Hampton Rovers outfit by 13-points on Saturday. The Panthers kicked 6.16 for the match, and it really did cost them in the end. Most of the damage was inflicted in the second quarter, with Old Carey booting 1.6 to head into the main break 13-point down. James Massey was everywhere for the Rovers, and Oliver Sweetapple-Gagiero was also prominent in the win.

Old Camberwell overcame a 1-point three quarter time deficit to run over the top of Old Xaverians in a thriller at Gordon Barnard Reserve.

The teams were neck and neck all day, with Alex Bongiorno the standout forward on the ground booting five for the ‘Wellers. Hamish Cullity did his best to drag Xavs over the line but it wasn’t enough, as his team fell by 15-points at the final siren.

Elsewhere, Whitefriars had a comfortable 44-point win against St Bedes/Mentone, Fitzroy continued their rise up the ladder with a 55-point win over Marcellin, and Old Brighton are only one game behind Parkdale in second position on the ladder following their 39-point win over Mazenod.

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

Saturday presented us with one of those days where it’s an advantage to be in the field or running the boundary, with clear but icy conditions meaning that the keeping on the move was more important than usual. With a thick blanket of fog across a lot of Melbourne, those that were running early games would have had a great excuse for any missed free kicks.

AN UPDATE FROM BETWEEN THE BIG STICKS Most weeks in Umpires’ Corner we hear about life from the Field perspective, this week we’ve handed over the reins to Rob Parry to get an update on the goalies season to date.

NUMBERS I’m quite sure it has been noticed but, there seems to be a lot of Goalies appointed each week - and many of them of training on Thursday nights at Headquarters or on Wednesday nights at Bulleen and Westbourne.

Well, the last count was that we had 81. It did reach 86. But, 81 goalies is the most I’ve ever seen, and this is my 15th season! Remembering back, it used to be good turn up if between 20 and 30 got down on the track! The more the merrier I reckon.

COMEBACKS Part of the story above is the comebacks of some of the members. Bratjberg, Kenna, and after facing death then, fighting back, yours truly.

ENJOYING YOUR FOOTY Anyone who has ever done a game with Balltearer will tell you about the after-match adventures, where it would be 6pm at a ground and you haven’t left to come home yet - even though the game finished at 4.25! Enjoy the games and the drinks afterwards.

A bit of a personal note to finish (hopefully people aren’t too squeamish!)

I referred above to my goings-on health wise.

Hopefully this will explain things a bit more.

Late October last year, I started getting sick. Went to the doctor, and was told to rest, no medication, nothing. I progressively got worse. I got through my birthday and Melbourne Cup day, and then it all started to happen, I couldn’t breathe.

Luckily for me, where I was living in Lara was just 2 minutes from the ambulance station by road.

I was rushed to Geelong Hospital and after a few hours in emergency, it was determined I had to be placed in an induced coma. Whilst under, I had a tracheotomy inserted in my neck to breath, amongst other things.

I would spend 3 and a half weeks in the coma. It got shaky and very close to it being all over. Once I was brought out of the coma, it would another few days in intensive care. From there it was on to the ward, where I had to re-learn swallowing, eating, drinking, walking and everything else, from the ward it was rehab for 2 more weeks.

Lucky? For sure. But, it’s a wake-up call. Never, ever take your health for granted folks.

See you at the footy, Rob Parry

From all at the VAFAUA Rob, it’s great to see you back waving the flags again.

If any of the Boundary guys or girls want to let us know what you’ve been up to, see Andrew Hartnett at training, we’re more than happy to hand over control of the column to you.

EARLY ARRIVALS We all know of the rules about what time we have to be at games, being 1pm. Think that stops a few of the group from getting to games at 12pm or before? If anything, I have found getting there that early gives you more than enough time to prepare, park cars, have lunch, check padding, put up holders.....

@jackpayn edge. Soligo tried hard for Parkside with 2 goals.

BERNARDS WIN THRILLER It’s not often that a team doesn’t score in the last quarter and wins the game, but that’s exactly what St Bernards did against UHS-VU Flemington did last weekend.

Leading 4.2 to 2.4 at the final change, St Bernards held their nerve as UHS-VU bombarded their goal on the last quarter, Bernards eventually winning by 3 points.

Toby Nathan kicked 2 goals and Darcy Heenan provided hard running and plenty of touches to set up the win.

Point Cook had an easy win over Williamstown by 89 points. An 8 goal first quarter killed the contest early with Brandyn Foley registering 8 goals of his own to be best on ground.

Ivanhoe maintain their place at the top of the table with a comfortable 13 goal victory over University Blues. Burge and Byrne-Connell helped Ivanhoe overcome a slow first quarter, while Max Post booted 3 goals in the win.

Parkside gave La Trobe a run for their money but were unable to stay with them in the last quarter, with La Trobe winning by 28 points. 6 goals to Liam Guy and 4 to Patrick Carroll gave La Trobe the

Old Paradians had the week off with the bye and return to play Point Cook next round.

PRAHRAN/ ASSUMPTION INJECT NEW LIFE AND ALBERT PARK PUSH KEW FROM SECOND ROUND 10 REVIEW

Round 10 saw three teams forfeit their matches (the most in any round of Club XVIII history).

Nonetheless, the unexpected happened in one game and at half time another unexpected result loomed before a big second half saw the “Crocodiles” triumph.

SECTION 1 Prahran/ Assumption injected new life into the final four quest when they led throughout against fourth placed Richmond Central and won by thirty three points.

Prahran/ Assumption’s form turn around surprised me as I had watched these two sides in Round 2 and certainly Richmond Central was the more impressive. A feature of the “Two Blues” success was that their fifteen goals were shared between nine players.

North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s won their second game of the season when they outplayed Ivanhoe and won by eleven points. The win lifted the “Combine” into seventh place and will give the team confidence for more success over the remaining five Rounds.

I was an interested spectator for the first half of the afternoon match at La Trobe University where Old Xaverians were the visitors. The Xaverians took an early lead but were then outplayed by the home side who went to the long interval three points to the good. The second half scoring bore no relationship with that in the opening two quarters, because the undefeated leaders rose to the challenge and added nine goals to two by the home side. The dominance of the rejuvenated “Crocodiles” was reflected in their forty eight point winning margin.

Old Geelong forfeited to Hawthorn.

SECTION 2 Albert Park, who led throughout, proved too talented for Kew who went down by forty one 58

points in the contest from which the winner claimed second place. Leading goal kicker Beau Coyle again did well for Albert Park with four goals whilst Pat Godfrey kicked 4 for the Bears.

Melbourne High School Old Boys virtually won their contest against Ormond with seven unanswered goals in the first quarter. “The Unicorns” built percentage through their winning margin of seventy five points. Second generation “Unicorn”, Nick Orchard kicked four goals whilst umpire turned player, Josh. Cukieman kicked two of Ormond’s three goals.

There were two forfeits from both University High School/ V.U. and Westbourne Grammarians, who forfeited to St Francis Xavier and West Brunswick respectively.

ROUND 11 PREVIEW SECTION 1 This week’s four games are all scheduled for 9.20 a.m. (Who can recall the Saturday Morning League?) North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s will be hoping for more success when they meet La Trobe University, a team with a significant amount of their players on vacation. Although this looms as a danger game for the Students, their quick ball movement and active forward line should enable them to record a win.

Although Hawthorn’s match fitness could be suspect after their two June breaks, I select them to defeat Richmond Central for whom last week was an aberration. This game is a “must’ if the “Cardinals” hope to be serious challengers in the finals.

Prahran/Assumption make a rare appearance on Toorak Park when they host Old Geelong. Prahran/ Assumption will win for two reasons; their quest for another final appearance is now a reality and their 2015 form is much better than that displayed, to date, by Old Geelong.

Old Xaverians will appreciate their return to their THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Alma Mater for their match against Ivanhoe.

Ivanhoe, although having displayed skill and tenacity, have fallen short of consistent form.

Today, I am in no doubt the “Crocodiles” will record their eleventh victory of 2015.

SECTION 2 Fourth placed, Melbourne High School Old Boys can consolidate that position today by defeating their challenger, West Brunswick. The Ransford Oval will provide a marked advantage to “The Magpies” as none of “The Unicorns” will have played there. (How many of them have seen it?) Nevertheless talent will prevail and I select Melbourne High School Old Boys to win.

It is hard to predict the winner of the University High School/ V.U. and Westbourne Grammarians match because neither side has displayed much winning form in 2015. The University High School/ V.U. players have impressed on occasions but they have experienced difficulty converting opportunities into scores. Today without any confidence, I select them to “break the ice” in 2015.

Second placed Albert Park should have little difficulty in defeating Ormond who are finding difficulty meeting the required standard. In their first season, Albert Park is enjoying success and seem certain to feature in the finals.

Kew will be anxious to erase memories of last week’s reversal, when they host the undefeated St Francis Xavier. The small Victoria Park will suit the home side, for whom victory is essential if they hope to secure the double chance in the finals.

Although Kew have been impressive, I doubt they possess the depth of talent of St Francis, and as a consequence I select them to retain their unbeaten record.
