PREMIER GRAND FINAL SHIFTS TO IKON Since 1968 the VAFA has been proud to host the Premier Section Grand Final at Sportscover Arena, however the Board has agreed to shift this year’s match to IKON Park, Carlton. The Premier Grand Final will be played on Sunday September 20 with the Premier B and C on Saturday, September 19 at Sportscover Arena and Trevor Barker Oval.

It is with mixed emotions that we have agreed to the shift as I believe that Sportscover Arena is the home of VAFA football and has the potential to provide a great environment for all of our stakeholders. Unfortunately the ground has not kept up with community standards and renovations are required to both the on and off field amenities to bring them up to the required standard. We are currently in discussions with the state government and we believe that with adequate financial assistance, the ground will still provide the ideal setting for our feature matches.

The upside of the change is that the Premier Grand Final will be played in a stadium at IKON Park, a completely different environment that Sportscover has provided. The open feel of Sportscover Arena with its green embankments and cars parked around the boundary will be replaced with grandstands which will shield the wind and provide a completely different experience for players and spectators. It will be an interesting contrast and one I am sure the players will look forward to.

In the past few years we have experimented with a stand-alone Premier Grand Final but this year we will be playing all three Premier Grand Finals on same weekend. Amateur football followers will get the chance to watch the Premier B or C match on the Saturday and back up on the Sunday at IKON Park for the Premier Grand Final. A feast of

VAFA football. Be sure to purchase your Season 2015 finals pass.

Two key VAFA events are being held in the week leading up to these grand finals. At Crown Casino on Monday night we host the Woodrow Medal. This is a gala event held in the River Room overlooking Melbourne’s skyline and the Yarra.

Recent winners still playing are Brendan Iezzi, Cam Howat and Jack Watts and with Watts and Iezzi having interrupted seasons due to work and injury there will be a strong contingent applying pressure to Cam Howat. Players that spring to mind include Adam Bentick, Tom Sullivan, Harry Tinney, Ben Smithwick, Simon Hogan and Jack Bull.

On Friday at the Grand Hyatt, the second VAFA Grand Final lunch will take place. Last year we had three hundred attend to listen live to Mark‘Bomber’ Thompson as the result of the Essendon Tribunal hearing was handed down. Unfortunately this year we won’t be able to organise the same drama however the player voted the greatest of the 20th Century, Leigh Matthews, will be interviewed by the country’s leading political commentator Barrie Cassidy who also doubles up as our Master of Ceremonies.

We are now right at the business end of the season as teams are striving for these cherished finals positions. One more round of Club XVIII, two in the Thirds and four or five in the seniors depending on your section. It has been another terrific season and we look forward to a huge September with VAFA football leading the way.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Andrew Leonard

@ Lennytalk

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS With the exception of the Uni Derby, last week was supposed to be an easy round to predict. Not until the final quarter were the underdogs of Old Scotch, Collegians put to bed, whilst at Bulleen, De La Salle offered up another performance that indicates they are not quite ready to descend to Premier B. De La Salle’s draw with Old Carey changes the game in William Buck Premier significantly. Old Carey’s second draw of the year hurts them. The extra two points were a buffer to percentage calculations and with Uni Blues win over Blacks and De La Salle’s continued resurgence, there are six clubs legitimately still chasing two spots. De La on the other hand already had a strong percentage considering their win-loss tally. Their bid to avoid the drop is building momentum and this takes them two points clear of the Cardinals, but regardless this will feel like two points lost.

The unfortunate thing about football is that regardless of what happens in the proceeding 100 minutes, we tend to scrutinise the final minutes of a match when the result is close. Decisions by players, coaches and umpires alike are all reviewed to learn what could be done next time a similar scenario presents itself. I would put my house on Ben Smithwick to kick a crucial goal from 30 meters out almost directly in front. Smithwick got up gingerly though after being awarded a free kick and subsequently missed the goal that would have given his side a five-point advantage.

There were still a couple of minutes of play remaining but this was the last score of the game leaving the sides deadlocked. Could he have cited injury and allowed someone else to take the kick?

Maybe. Perhaps he will do this next time should the same scenario present. Despite this, Old Carey will probably feel more aggrieved at the tenuous free kick given to Adrian Indovino before the ball could return to the center. De La had goaled to be within six points and as footballers do, a push and shove ensued, only for the umpire to then award another kick to De La Salle from the top of the goal square. It was a crushing blow. A player should have to be dumped to the ground, struck or similar in order for that type of free kick to be 2

paid. Regardless of the above incidents, this was a highly skilled game. De La will trouble more sides on the run home, Carey probably need three wins to guarantee a first finals appearance.

No matter where they are on the ladder, it’s sure to be a spirited contest. That phrase permeated the air at University Oval pre-match. The fact that Blacks and Blues were 5th and 6th respectively indicated that their ladder positions were indeed relevant and finals were on the line. Blacks seemed to have the edge in endeavor, but the class of Blues shone through. Blues established control in the second term through both skill and a little bit of luck. Blues seemed to score easily whilst Blacks had to graft opportunities. Despite this, the contest was willing and Blacks were seemingly only a goal away from being right in the match. That goal took too long to come. Blues led by Marshall Rippon and Ross Young in the midfield and Sean Carr and Piers Flanagan of the flanks, were simply too clinical. Jordan Quaile was everywhere for Blacks, and Andrew Willingham was a welcome return in the ruck. For all the hype however, the second half of the game meandered on and on. With Blues in control, by the 10-minute mark of the last quarter most in the large crowd in attendance were wishing the final siren could be sounded so that cool drinks could be drunk and stories exchanged in the magnificent pavvy.

Old Xaverians enjoyed the biggest win of the round, making life more and more difficult for Beaumaris to extend beyond their three year sojourn in William Buck Premier. The Sharks must enjoy playing the first half of football at Toorak Park, because again they were right in the contest. Xavs though again put their foot to the floor in the second half. Matt Handley kicked another five goals and he was ably supported by WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Beaumaris v Old Scotch Old Trinity v Old Carey Collegians v Uni Blues Uni Blacks v De La Salle St Bernards v Old Xaverians

Marcus Allan who kicked four majors. In fact Allan was everywhere for Xavs. as was an old hand and star Nick Wynne, relieved of Richmond VFL duties.

Tom Dean must be hurting as he continues to fight for the Sharks, but there are not enough Deans to plug the leaks. The win for Xavs means fourth spot is retained for a second straight week.

They have done it again. An inaccurate Old Trinity overran their opponents in the final quarter, again.

The victim this time was a luckless Old Scotch. The Cardinals were on track for a great win that would revitalise their year, however the T’s continued to push forward in numbers in order to secure the win. Old Trinity were inaccurate throughout and their sheer weight of numbers with inside 50’s meant enough scoring opportunities presented themselves in the win. Ned Hunt led from the front in midfield, whilst again the goal kicking

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Collegians are in a rut. The Lions fell to a fifth straight loss to St Bernards, but they didn’t go down without a fight. Collegians pushed St Bernards all the way at the Snakepit, a ground the visitors have traditionally played well. Despite their efforts, Collegians just can’t kick a winning score at the moment. Not once this year have Collegians kicked more than 100 points in a game and so it was again in this match. Collegians managed just eight goals for the game. St Bernard’s only kicked nine themselves, but they did have 12 more scoring shots. It was really only the Snowdogs inaccuracy that kept this game within reach for so long. Tom Sullivan is building his form nicely and Simon Caven continues to put together a brilliant season for the ladder leaders.

PREMIER B

VALE FOOTY AT THE JUNCTION OVAL How often we come back to that humble cliché of ‘Footy: It’s a funny old game’. On the weekend we saw only one side kick a positive ratio in regard to their goal to point tally. We’ve heard about the dropping in our goal-kicking standard and the evidence to back it up is right in front of us. But with the dropping standards in front of goal, the intensity of these clashes remains as high as ever, as shown in the brutal relegation zone contest between the Parkdale Vultures and Mazenod. The crucial victory could see Parkdale Vultures remain in Premier B for another season, however Mazenod has the chance to notch a win against last placed Caulfield Grammarians in Round 16, which could see the race become excruciatingly tight. In other games, there was a scare for SKOB and an upset at Gary Smorgon Oval when Ajax grabbed the points against Old Brighton, keeping the race for the four alive.

St Kevins controlled proceedings at Boss James Reserve against the Hampton Rovers, however they were hardly at their convincing best, taking out a 20-point victory. The Skobbers had plenty of opportunities to shut the Rovers out of the game, however they couldn’t manage to take such advantage and left Hampton with a golden chance to upset the premiership favourites. They didn’t take their own chances in a game where 13.28 was scored by both sides. On their own St Kevins scored 21 of those behinds, a habit they will want to scrap before they reach the beautiful month of September. For SKOB, James Stewart was at his mercurial best, supported by (Sir) Henry Parkes who booted 3 and Phil ‘Rex’ Edgar who was a constant handful for the Rovers. Dan Corp was their best, followed by a strong performance from Mark Devereaux.

St Bedes/Mentone destroyed any hope of a late run to the 4 from Fitzroy when they gutted the Roys by 84 points. The 2nd placed Tigers were at their absolute best on Saturday at Brindisi St, kicking 12 goals to 2 in the first half to erase any hopes of an upset. St Bedes/Mentone seems to have no desire in witnessing the most romantic of premierships for the Fitzroy Football Club judging on their ruthless 4

performance. Doherty and Velluto combined for 8 goals, with Paul Tyquin named their best. Despite their massive loss to SKOB a few weeks back, the Tigers have the game that will push SKOB in September when the nerves are crackling. They are certainly the other most likely team to join SKOB in Premier A next season. For Fitzroy, they retain little hope of September action, but there were still solid performances from Daniel Bisetto, who kicked 3 and Matthew Brown who was solid in the midfield.

In Round 7, Ajax upset Old Brighton by 9 points to snap a 3 game losing streak, and reignite their hopes of a top 4 finish. This week, Ajax advanced their winning streak to 3 with a fighting win against the Tonners to the tune of 3 points. Ajax held the Tonners to a goalless first half at Gary Smorgon Oval but could only manage 4.4 themselves, leaving the contest wide open. In the third term, Old Brighton kicked 3 goals against the heavy wind, and kept Ajax to the solitary one, leading many of the observers presuming that the Tonners would come over the top and ruin the Jackers’ finals hopes. That wasn’t to be as the Jackers produced a scintillating defensive effort in the last to hang onto a 3 point win. Turning the game into stoppage central (as it seems to be across the league!), Ajax did just enough to prevent a slingshot attack from the Tonners. Ben Jakobi did all he could to drive the Tonners into their forward 50 time and time again, but Evgeni Routman and Stuart Fayman were part of the instrumental group who held out the fast finishing Tonners. These are the games that teams celebrate or rue depending on which side of the finishing line they finished.

Parkdale may have saved their season, holding out Mazenod to win by 8 points. The Vultures appeared to be comfortable at three quarter time as they held a 21 point lead, however just as it had happened across Victoria, the strong winds PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD St Bedes/Mentone v Old Melburnians Old Brighton v Parkdale Vultures Mazenod v Fitzroy FC Caulfield Grammarians v Hampton Rovers St Kevins OB v AJAX

changed the course of the game and Mazenod came storming back into the contest. It was the Vultures who held their nerve in the face of a brutal onslaught as both sides clattered into the contest.

With three minutes left in the contest, it was Charlie Dillon who calmly went back from 25 metres out and kicked the sealer. His performance was one of a number of courageous Vulture efforts. Josh Manning produced an enigmatic performance to kick 5 after spending much of the season in the seconds. For Mazenod, they face an uphill battle to stay in Premier B. Their best was Steven Oldman.

Rounding out the round of fixtures was the academic result between Old Melburnians and Caulfield Grammarians. Caulfield’s season goes from bad to worse, with a flat performance against the OMS who came out of the game with a 59-point win. This game was historic on behalf of this being the Junction Oval’s final game of competitive footy after the Junction Oval became sole property of Cricket Victoria. The spice was out of the contest by

MARCELLIN KEEP CLEAN SHEET In a stunning performance Marcellin reclaimed top spot in a 158 point demolition of Therry Penola, keeping them goalless throughout.

Such a display of offensive and defensive prowess was hitherto unheard of as the Premier C flag favouritism changes hands once again.

Elsewhere, Monash Blues extended its win streak to five after defeating PEGS to sit just below Marcellin on percentage; Williamstown CYMS rekindled last years’ spark over the past fortnight as it upset Old Haileyburians at home; Peninsula rebounded from last weeks loss with a 56 point win over Old Camberwell; and Old Ivanhoe kept in reach of the top two with a victory against Oakleigh.

Marcellin had a day out unlike any seen before in Premier C. The Eagles picked apart Therry Penola’s defence, kicking 25 goals past the Lions, and were just as comprehensive down back, keeping them goalless for the whole game. The match was done and dusted by the first change with Therry facing a 44-point deficit. But Marcellin’s performance was devoid of sympathy, as they never gave the opposition any breathing room.

The 100 point mark was notched up by halftime and another nine goals were added until the final siren. Jonathan Bortolotto led all comers with four goals while Ashley Viney kicked three and was named best on ground. The golden years of 2013-14 must look like an age away for Therry as they scratch and claw to avoid relegation with one of the worst percentages in the VAFA weighing them down.

Monash Blues are nipping at Marcellin’s heels as the Blues secured its victory in a more conventional manner. After only the single goal in the first quarter, Monash outshone PEGS with the wind advantage scoring five goals to one in the second term. PEGS could not make the most of its turn with the breeze and only put two goals past Monash. The Blues kept the Bombers 6

scoreless in the last and tacked on four more majors to end the contest 57 point victors. Alfred Oppy was declared best afield with three goals for the Blues.

In the past fortnight Williamstown CYMS has found what won them the Division 1 premiership a year ago. It’s taken the CYs more than half the season, but with two wins on the trot, including this weeks over finals contender Old Haileyburians, they’ve found it. The game at Princes Park was a tight one for the majority, with only a goal separating the two, in Williamstown’s favour. Old Haileybury stepped up in the ‘premiership quarter’ with five goals to take a 13 point advantage into the final change. But Williamstown produced a deafening final quarter to overrun the home side. The CYs doubled its goal tally with nine goals in the last quarter to beat the Bloods by 30 points. Nicholas Ebinger made it a three-peat with another half-dozen goals while Russell Ackerly was best on for his performance and topped it off with two majors.

After Peninsula’s shock loss to PEGS last week it had to tackle another struggling team in Old Camberwell. In tough conditions, a gameending lead was unlikely, and kept the fighting Old Camberwell in touching distance for most of the match. Peninsula couldn’t take a major lead in the first with erratic kicking. Nonetheless, The Pirates created a 31-point buffer in the second with four goals but again couldn’t seal a winning lead in the third as the Wellers brought it back to 27. It took until the last quarter but eventually Peninsula got the game-winning edge over Old Camberwell, keeping them scoreless in the last to PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD Old Ivanhoe v Therry Penola Monash Blues v Williamstown CYMS Marcellin v Old Haileyburians PEGS v Old Camberwell Peninsula v Oakleigh

run away 56 point victors. Alex Wood was B.O.G for Peninsula with two goals.

across the ground, whilst Aaron Cloke kicked 5 for the Krushers, moving to 61 for the year.

The Old Ivanhoe-Oakleigh clash ebbed and flowed throughout, as ascendancy proved impossible to maintain in what was an intriguing battle. Ivanhoe had it first with nine goals in the first quarter with a strong wind at their backs, before Oakleigh kicked three late goals in the term. In the second the Krushers swamped the Hoes’ lead with seven goals to one to earn a two point lead at the main break. Ivanhoe regained the lead in the third quarter to reverse the deficit. Oakleigh fought back once again but Old Ivanhoe were good enough to hold on by 18 points. Ricky Jessop (Old Ivanhoe) was given best on ground honours with a dynamic performance

This week Old Ivanhoe host Therry Penola, where I expect the Hoes to take advantage of the Lions’ horrendous form. Monash Blues face Williamstown CYMS, and despite the fact that the CYs have lifted in recent weeks the Blues will be a too strong. Old Haileyburians travel to Marcellin where I’m predicting the top seed to hold out. In the PEGS-Old Camberwell fixture and on sheer home ground advantage, I am tipping the Bombers. For Old Camberwell, a win would relieve the stress of relegation. Peninsula plays Oakleigh; the Krushers will take home the four points.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

THE POLITICS OF SPORT

Humour me as I take a moment to address a key issue in the AFL and sport in general. Sport is divisive, but generally it shows itself to be a division that is neither harmful nor malicious. We support a certain guernsey, certain colours and certain players. There are other things we debate, such as the state of the game, the best players of all time, the fixture and the best place to have a parma afterward. It is when it goes beyond this division to a place we reserve for bigotry and bullying that we start to see its ugly side. We all have an opinion of the recent spate of booing of Adam Goodes and it is not for me to cast aspersions over the entire footballing community in regard to what they are booing him for. We are all individuals who have different triggers, but sometimes when we associate with the majority (which unfortunately has been the case with Adam), we are thrown into the same basket when it becomes an obvious issue, and something that has turned quite ugly.

Booing has been omnipresent in sport since the early 19th century according to my good friend, the Internet. It is a signal of our displeasure directed at a person, a group or quite simply, an event. Adam Goodes might be a divisive figure on and off the field, but he has also been a wonderful player and an important figure in the Indigenous community and the AFL community.

We can all make a choice to boo or not to boo, even support the man; it really is a subjective matter. What I encourage people to consider is that as much as we might think certain actions to be innocuous and a bit of a joke, our actions carry weight. We sometimes forget that our actions can 10

be hurtful, create unneeded division with certain communities and harm the game that we love more than we even realise.

In the VAFA it is a wonderful thing to have cheer squads who passionately support their team and, perhaps from time to time target opposition players with playful banter to put them off their game – I know I have! But it is important to remember there is a line. It is not an objective line, it depends on the person, but sometimes it is worth considering the implications of our actions prior to letting them escape our person.

VAFA initiatives such as alcohol free games, supporting valuable causes such as Thick and Thin and the vast amounts of money raised for various charitable organisations, show that we have a strong social conscience. Additionally, VAFA crowds, players and officials are generally wonderful ambassadors for our league, however I’m sure there are experiences that have left us hurt, frustrated and disappointed. To put it simply, there is a power of one theorem at play in these circumstances. For instance, when an entire crowd participates in a minute’s silence it is immensely powerful and moving. The reason is that the people who remain silent make an active choice to show respect. The opposite applies in a crowd that is booing and berating an individual. To make the choice to abstain from booing is an active choice that may force some of those who have been swept up in the provocative art of ‘booing’ to consider the implications of their actions.

From Sunday this week we enter Donate Life Week, which is a national awareness week promoting the importance of organ and tissue donation in Australia. Donate Life Week provides a timely reminder to all Australians of the need to discuss their donation decision with loved ones, and to ask and know their donation decisions. It’s a week dedicated to having the chat that saves lives.

CAT STEVENS CELEBRATES FATHER-SON COMBINATION In our heartwarming story for the week, we had a special occasion down at Parkdale Vultures who fielded a side featuring a father and son pairing.

After the Under 19 side for Parkdale had a win via forfeit, a few of the younger lads trudged back to Walter Galt Reserve to fill in for the flailing Thirds team, who were due to take on St Mary’s Salesian. One of those lads was Brad Austin, a talented 17 year old with a bright future at the Vultures (and possibly beyond!). His father Jason, 47 and still playing good footy, was rapt to get the opportunity to play with his son. Parkdale was sitting on the bottom of the table, winless and out of sorts when the father-son combination came along and helped the side take their first win of the year by 26 points. Both were in the best players and Brad even managed to feed his Dad a goal with a trademark accurate pass to him. (Jase reckons he returned the favour by letting Brad take an “out on the full” free kick as it was on the good side for a left footer! A terrific influence!)

VAFAUA (VAFA Umpires Association) as VAFA umpire Wayne Hinton encountered a fight for his life when he endured the anguish of kidney failure. Wayne is best known for his prolific career in the VAFA that stems more than 600 games and countless Grand Final appearances. He is a VAFA treasure, and a great bloke. The VAFA website will feature an interview with Wayne this week so make sure you check in at vafa.com.au to read about his gripping and inspiring personal anecdote.

VALE JUNCTION OVAL With a few misty eyes, the VAFA and Australian Rules Footy waves a reluctant farewell to the great Junction Oval as Cricket Victoria comes into sole ownership of the ground from this point forward. On the weekend, Old Melburnians hosted Caulfield Grammarians in the final game at the venue. Old Melburnians came out 59-point winners in an anticlimactic contest between the two rivals. Unfortunately for the romantic, Fitzroy FC were denied an emotional farewell at the oval when in Round 18 they were scheduled to play the OMs. Fitzroy FC (the now a defunct standalone VFL/AFL side – currently part of the Brisbane Lions) played at the Junction Oval from 1970 to 1984, and the Kevin Murray Stand remains… well, standing to this day.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

THE MAGOOS It wouldn’t be the VAFA without the 11.40 curtain raisers played out by the ‘Magoos’ across the League. Not a whole lot of coverage is given to the Reserve sides, however they still play a pivotal part in the structure of the league. Whilst the Clubbies remain the most romantic league for the blokes who want to have a run around and a kick with their mates, it is the reserves that remain dense with narrative of the men who want to play ones, the kids who are developing and the old fellas who are coming to the end of their career. There are also the anomalies of senior sides doing well whilst the reserves side splutters, and vice versa. One such story is the Old Carey Grammarians, who sit 3rd in the Premier Division yet remain winless in Premier Reserve.

At the other end of the spectrum, PEGS’ senior side in Premier C sit on the bottom at 1-12 whilst their Reserves side are on the brink of entering the 4 at 8-5, with just 2 points separating them and 2nd position. Then, there are the clubs with enormous depth. St Kevins sit 13-0 in both the Premier B and Premier B Reserve. Stretching to the other end of the extremities is Masala who have won just the one game between their ones and their ‘Magoos’. Good luck to the under loved siblings in our competition as they too lurch toward finals!

97 FOR DALE COLLINS Old Westbourne Grammarians’ Full Forward Dale Collins sits on 97 goals in the Division 4 goal kicking standings, head and shoulders above his competition. It has been a few years since we’ve had a player in the seniors kick 100 goals so we expect a few interested observers heading down to Noble Park to witness Dale Collins’ and his side take on Masala in the hope that he can manage at least 3 goals to get him to the ton. The last person to complete the century in a senior side was Ash Close of Ivanhoe in 2012.

Ash managed 117 goals for the season including finals. He kicked his 100th at Victoria Park in Kew. He is now plying his trade in the Collingwood VFL side. As a side note, it has been 17 seasons since a player in any of the three Premier Sections has kicked a ton. Old Mentonians’ forward Adam Acreman has claim to that honour back in 1995. I’m predicting Dale will kick 8.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

300

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s ROWAN WEDDLE – Starting in 1992, Rowan has had one of the great careers for the club. A four-time flag winner of 1994, 1995, 2001 and 2005, he has been a major part of the clubs rise from “D Section”, eventually arriving in “A Section”.

Similar to Dustin Fletcher (only older, sorry Rowan) in his build and style of play, Rowan as a class defender has bested many a champion forward and achieved several state representations. Seemingly unhurried in his play, his long arms are always there for a timely spoil or a saving mark; he is also dangerous when sent forward as his raking kicks have landed many a match-winning goal. Now playing in the Reserves he becomes the third player to reach 300 for OIG.

200

Congratulations to Collegians’ SHURA TAFT – Shura has simply been an outstanding part of the Collegians and VAFA Community. Over the journey he has played largely as a small forward but later as a key forward and had enormous success. He has routinely played on far bigger and stronger opponents but this has not stopped him, regularly winning games off his own boot. He has played in 3 Premierships, 7 Grand Finals, won the competition goal kicking and played for the famed Big V. His finals performances over the journey have been outstanding. He has had to manage his career and football commitments very carefully and make significant sacrifices along the way to enable him to get to this point.

200

Congratulations to Box Hill North’s TONY MANNO – Tony has been around the club for well over a decade, and played in the clubs first game in the VAFA. Tony is a great clubman, is the first to get around the new blokes, and is the Reserves captain. All at BHNFC wish him well for the upcoming finals and look forward to seeing his great skills in action.

200

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s SCOTT CURATOLA – `Scissa’ has truly had one of the amazing careers for the club. 2001 U19 B&F in his first year, a four-time club B&F winner, 2001 “B Section” flag and B&F in 2001, and state rep several times. Built like a Tiger tank, Scott has for years dominated the mid-field with an incredible intensity, seemingly without experiencing any normal human weaknesses like fear, fatigue or pain. He is a fair player with a penetrating kick , has the endurance to play the entire match on the ball and seems to be pretty much indestructible. He also is playing in the Reserves to help them out, as a top clubman does.

150

Congratulations to Collegians’ JULIAN HAMPTON – Clubs are built around quality people and Julian “Chunky” Hampton is everything you would want from a Collegian. Universally admired by all at the club, he bleeds purple and gold and always gives 100%. A great mark and kick and fierce competitor, he would do anything for his mates on and off the field. He has been a great help around the club, nothing is too much trouble. Well done Chunky!

150

Congratulations to West Brunswick’s RAPH TOUZEL – Raph reached the 150 game milestone despite having given several retirement speeches in recent years. The man who bleeds black and white has served as President for two years, has been a committee member for many years, and achieved the ultimate glory of playing in last year’s Senior Premiership.

150

100

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s ASHLEY STEER – Ashley is a versatile all-rounder who can play at centre-half back or forward, and can be relied on to do stints in the ruck when called upon. A great clubman who has played in both the Seniors and Reserves, Ashley is a club stalwart that all clubs are delighted to have.

Congratulations to Old Xaverian JAMES ULBRICK – Since his arrival in 2009, Ulba has been a much loved and valued contributor both on and off field. Ulba played in the Under 19(1) Grand Final team, and was part of the 2011 and 2012 Reserves Grand Final teams, finally cracking it for success with a Premiership in 2013. After a shoulder reconstruction in 2014, the last month has seen him reprise his 2013 form at CHB in the Seniors, using great closing speed and aggressive spoiling to repel opposition attacks.

GAMES

100

Congratulations to St Bernards’ MICHAEL ANGEL – “Scalp”, as he is affectionately known, chalked up 100 Senior games last week against Collegians. An unassuming type, Michael is a member of the Senior team leadership group and is a fierce and reliable competitor who consistently claims an opposition forward scalp most weeks. An outstanding clubman, Michael is one of the first picked and often handed a “job” to do.

100

Congratulations to St Bernards’ JACOB BEVANDA – “Bev” celebrates his 100th Senior game this week against Old Xavs. Jacob is a genuine “utility” who can play on-ball, fill a key post forward and back, and has been a member of the Senior team leadership group in previous seasons. Jacob fulfills critical roles for the Senior team; utilising his strong contested football skills, clean hands, hard attack at the ball and his size to provide genuine physicality to the midfield rotations.

100

Congratulations to De La Salle’s NICK HYLAND – Nick is a product of Murrumbeena Juniors and started with the U19’s in 2010. He was a member of the 2012 Reserves Premiership team and has played some fine games at Senior level. Nick was runner up in the 2014 Reserves Best & Fairest, and the fact he played numerous Senior games that season possibly cost him the award. Nick is a hardnosed inside mid fielder known for his exceptional kicking skills.

100

Congratulations to Collegians’ JAMES KONDAROVSKIS – It seems like “Konda” has been around for a lot longer but what a great player he has been at Collegians over recent years.

He doesn’t say much, but his actions speak louder than words. Extremely skilful and one of the best kicks at the club, he patrols a wing like a shark, and can change the course of game very quickly. He has played in two Premierships and continues to be a great part of the club.

100

Congratulations to Swinburne’s JOSH CARROLL – Josh has endured a lot over his career, including two serious back surgeries. Despite this hurdle, Josh has been courageous in his pursuit of playing footy, winning the 2013 Reserve Best and Fairest. In 2015, he was named Reserves vice-captain. He rarely misses training (injured or not) and his deft touches in the ruck and sticky mitts up forward have made JC a key member of the Swinburne family.

100

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s ANTHONY PARKER – AP is another powerfully built midfielder with a ferocious intensity when attacking the ball. One of the best contested marks seen at the club , AP was an inspirational leader when the club was in “A” & “B” Sections, and led a mid-field that was the envy of the competition. It’s great to see AP back in play once again.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s MICHAEL DELMONTE – A dangerous player when on the ball or up forward, Michael is known for his incredible quick-fire changes in directions that leave opposition players lunging at fresh air. Michael is rapidly building a reputation as a player to watch for mercurial goals and all-round brilliant play .

Congratulations to St Bernards’ ADAM BENTICK – AB or Bench, as he is affectionately known, has captained the club, is the current Senior vice captain, has captained the Big V and represented Victoria with distinction on more than one occasion. An outstanding leader on-field as well as off-field and an elite “inside mid”, AB has achieved this milestone from only a possible 51 rounds of football; an outstanding effort.

Congratulations to SKOB’s JOSH TAYLOR – Josh started at SKOBs in 2012, following a successful football career at St Kevin’s College where he was a member of the 2011 APS Premiership team. In 2012/2013 he was a regular member of the Senior side whist an U19 player, also gaining selection to the VAFA U19 Representative team.

Congratulations to Glen Eira’s JAMIE DORAN – Jamie, better known as Boots, is a tough all rounder who plays a tough game of footy. He is also one who is first to offer help off field when asked.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to Kew FC’s JOSH FIDANZA and ROBERT MAIBUM – Both former Under 18 Premiership players, Josh (a half forward from Emerald JFC) and Robert, have played their 50th games for Kew. Rob also recently represented VAFA in the Under 19 team at Bendigo.

Congratulations to West Brunswick’s JARROD SANDOW – Jarrod’s 50 games have taken five years to amass due to spells of injury. A true gentleman at McAlister Oval, his ruck work has been something of a fancy restaurant’s silver service, the way he guides the ball into the hands of the onballers, a skill that shone in last year’s Senior grand final win.

Congratulations to St John’s Old Collegians’ DAN CATTOLICO – Dan last week played his 50th game for the club. A late convert to the game, Cattolico has made a seamless transition and is one of the premier ruckman of Division 2.

STICKIN’ TO 4TH LIKE CLING WRAP The spiteful and fierce rivalry between two clubs playing out of a couple of Melbourne’s mostsought after areas, Kew and St Mary’s Salesian (Glen Iris), once again provided us with a gripping contest. After last year’s magnificent Grand Final ended in an 11-point Kew victory, we were treated to the second edition of their 2015 clashes where spectators witnessed St Mary’s emerge victorious at Victoria Park. This was Kew’s first loss at the ground since Round 14 last season, and a blow to their dream of three successive minor premierships. In winning, St Mary’s has made it all the more difficult for Prahran Assumption to unshackle St Mary’s formerly tenuous grip on 4th spot. In the other telling story of the round, Ormond smashed Old Geelong in every facet of the game at E. E. Gunn to reclaim top spot. It was also the first time Mal Michael has played in the seniors for Ormond, and no bluffing this time.

With four rounds to go, there are still possibilities of 4th spot movement but essentially it is now a story of 3 for the top 2 and the surprise packet at 4th attempting to discard their lukewarm performances and play as they did against Kew on the weekend.

Yarra Valley will be playing in Division 2 next season after they succumbed to the dash of Old Mentonians to the tune of 25 points. Luke Hull returned to form with 3 goals, as Old Mentonians held off a desperate effort from the Bushrangers who now play purely for pride in attempting to avoid their first winless season. Tristan Strange strengthened his stake for the Old Mentonians’ Best and Fairest with another outstanding performance across the ground. He was well supported by the before-mentioned Hull and Bruno Rossi, whom created plenty of opportunities for crumbers at Centre Half Forward. Yarra Valley’s sad season continues with another honourable loss. Simon Yeo was excellent in his key back role.

Despite playing for the likely wooden spooners, Yeo has had a strong season at Full Back. Simon Donald kicked 4 snags to move to 22 goals for the year.

Ormond claimed their 13th victory for the year to move into outright first place with an impressive 16

@balmey21 57-point win over 3rd placed Old Geelong. From the first bounce, Ormond dominated the OGs and never let up their lead. The bigger bodies on the tight field were too much, and Ormond is poised to wrap up a top 2 finish with a win this week. Small forwards Landman and Tahana kicked 3 each, but the game was won by a masterful performance from Henry and Jeremy Simon and young gun Nick Edwards out of the middle. Coming off a win that catapulted them into premiership contention, Old Geelong has been firmly put back in their place by the muscle of Ormond. Jordy and Colby O’Brien capped off a day for the relatives with solid outings, however they simply could not muster anywhere near enough effective forward thrusts, personified (score-sonified?) by a dismal 6.17 tally for the day.

Prahran Assumption toweled up Bulleen Templestowe in the second half to consolidate 5th position, as the Bullants now appear destined to join Yarra Valley in Division 2 following their 45-point loss. Harrison Taylor produced a bristling performance (Boy oh Boy!) with 3 goals and a presence hard to handle as they drilled 9 goals to 3 in the second half. Kristian Cherbakof, the man, the myth, the legend, kicked 6 out of Bulleen’s 9.

This haul accentuated Bulleen’s lack of firepower outside of Cherbakof, something Prahran exploited throughout the second half. Hogarth kicked 4 for the Double Blues in their 3rd straight win, as Anglin played a bullish and dominant game in the middle. Their win came at a cost though as they lost key defender and captain Jack Matherson to a seemingly serious ankle injury.

St Mary’s Salesian accounted for Kew at Victoria Park as Kew’s worrying mid-season slump continued for the second week in a row. Although Kew only went down by 4 points, St Mary’s Salesian played the game hard, maintained the pressure and kept Kew’s generally comprehensive game at bay. Missing Andrew Brazzale for the second straight week, Kew had willing contributors including Michael Henderson who kept ‘Bucky’ DIVISION 1 — TIPS IN BOLD NOBS/St Pats v St Mary’s Salesian Old Geelong v Prahran Assumption Ormond v Bulleen Templestowe Old Mentonians v Kew Bears Whitefriars v Yarra Valley

Puruntatameri goalless and Sam ‘Slice’ Bishop kicked 2 in another diverse game, however it was an inspired Saints’ effort. Josh Tanner was outstanding with 4 goals and D’Arcy Grant (or Grant Darcy according to Kew President Joe Chessari) was prolific throughout the contest. The game may have illustrated the general frustration with quarter lengths as the 2nd in particular travelled for almost 40 minutes. This came down to the amount of stoppages that occurred insistently over the four quarters.

the field, gathering plenty of ball and planting the Friars’ lads into attack on countless occasions.

Damien Loh was the only multiple goal scorer on the ground with 2. For NOBSPC, they were just outclassed by a quicker and slicker opponent.

Chris Ford was potent and dangerous and Danny King a presence in the midfield, but they were outpointed too regularly. Their season appears destined for a mid-table finish.

In a scrappy, honest battle, Whitefriars continued their resurgence with their 3rd win in a row, this time over NOBS/St Pats to the tune of 42 points.

The game sat in the balance at Orange Time, but Whitefriars blasted along to another strong victory. Their season appeared at crossroads a month ago after yet another big loss, but it is clear that they have addressed a few pink elephants and now remain in the hunt for a most unlikely of finals berth considering their position after that loss. Sean Currie was probably the best player on

Justin Timberlake, what an absolute dreamboat.

And he’s the guest sponsor for the contest between Old Geelong and Prahran Assumption.

The reason? Well, Prahran Assumption doesn’t want to walk away from this season emptyhanded and a win against the OGGS will strike fear into the hearts of the Saints’ boys. Nonetheless, at the Como I think they’ll go down by a point!

GRYPHONS DEVOUR SNAKES Monash put in its best performance of the year and as a consequence, jumped out of the relegation zone with a 57-point win over Richmond Central. The Gryphons fell agonisingly short of victory against Eltham a week prior, and seem determined to once again, consolidate their spot in Division 2. The result took most by surprise, including yours truly, and highlights that with the threat of relegation on the horizon, the lower teams will fight with their pride on the line.

Monash burst out of the blocks and held a threegoal buffer at quarter time. The Gryphons’intensity lifted again in the second as they banged on five goals and held the Snakes goalless and opened up a 49-point lead at the main change. The Snakes offered some momentary resistance post halftime but unfortunately for Richmond Central…it was too little too late. Monash showcased its new found attacking prowess with Erwin-Ross kicking four who was handsomely supported by Cassidy (3) and Nuguid, Pound and Bye who bagged two apiece. Richmond Central on the other hand is not the attacking force they once were, as Jake Munro could only manage two majors, and stood alone as their only multiple goal-kicker. Monash this week face the sternest test of their season as the head north to take on Ivanhoe, who aren’t firing on all cylinders. Richmond Central travel to Eltham College in a game that both sides simply must win.

St John’s held on by the skin of their teeth in a gutsy eight-point win over a fast-finishing Eltham at Thomas Carroll Reserve. In what was a strange game, Eltham for the majority played the better football but simply ran out of time. The loss saw them drop out of the top-four, with Northern Blues taking their spot. St John’s class shone through when it needed to but their decline in intensity in the last-quarter wasn’t ideal. The momentum swayed to the team that kicked with the wind, as both sides took full advantage throughout the day. Goals against the wind were 18

at a premium and heading into the last, St John’s could only manage a solitary goal. Holding a 34-point lead at the start of the last, and kicking against the wind, the JOCs on-ball brigade took control and their forwards took full advantage.

They banged on three goals in quick succession and looked home. The Turtles however, with their finals hopes quickly drifting away, they threw caution to the wind and stormed home with seven unanswered goals, but simply ran out of time. The JOCs simply couldn’t get their hands on the ball, and if the game was allowed to go two-minutes longer, they might not have held on. It may have been ugly, but the win was well and truly needed. St John’s are now a game clear in second and will be hot-favourites this week against South Melbourne. Eltham welcome Richmond Central and the equation is simple… just win.

Northern Blues dealt South Melbourne a harsh reality check after their maiden Division 2 victory with a thumping 95-point win at W.R Ruthven Reserve. The win saw the Blues leapfrog Eltham and entered the top-four for the first time this year. Northern was back to its attacking best with a seven-goal-to-nil blitzkrieg opening term.

Oddly however, both sides shared the points in the second with five goals apiece. The third was where the Blues put their foot flat to the floor and banged on ten goals to two and held a 99-point win heading into the last. The Districts valiantly won the final term, and must take that into this week’s clash against St John’s. The Blues put the cue in the rack in that last quarter and are now finals smokies and a force to be reckoned with.

This week they host Melbourne High fresh off their demolition of Elsternwick.

Melbourne High completely humiliated Elsternwick with a 99-point demolition on the wide expanses on Sportscover Arena. The DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD Eltham v Richmond Central Old Paradians v Elsternwick Ivanhoe v Monash South Melbourne v St John’s Northern Blues v MHSOB

Unicorns showed that their effort to get over Ivanhoe a week prior was no fluke with its near flawless performance over the lowly Wicks. They were defensively sound and dominant in attack as they never gave Elsternwick a sniff, who are now a game behind the relegation zone.

Elsternwick was jumped early and their first-half was forgettable, however the one positive to take out of the day, was winning the last quarter by a point. Elsternwick can’t be fazed by the enormity of the task of beating Old Paradians at Garvey Oval and simply must win if they’re to avoid relegation.

Melbourne High still has a mathematical chance of sneaking in the top-four and with the form they’ve shown over the past fortnight, they could certainly hold their own. We’ll know more after Melbourne High take in Northern Blues this week in the Match of the Round.

stormed home with a six-goal-to-one final term and recorded a 13-point win. The Raiders will be rueing that last quarter, as they led for the majority of the day and had Ivanhoe on the ropes. One of the performances of the year was not enough to hold off a determined Ivanhoe, who has had a tricky couple of weeks. Paradians will be heartened by their effort and shows that if they hold their spot, will not simply “make up the numbers” come finals time. They welcome a desperate Elsternwick this week; in a game the Raiders must win to keep their finals dreams alive.

Ivanhoe host a resurgent Monash who the Hoes shouldn’t take lightly.

DIVISION 3

THE RACE FOR 6TH Blustering conditions all over Melbourne made life difficult for the Division 3 sides last Saturday.

Aquinas escaped a scare over La Trobe. The Vultures have dropped another. The Razorbacks and the Saints are back. With just the 4 games and 3 teams with byes, there was still a lot to like about Round 13. To the games:

LA TROBE DEF. BY AQUINAS Aquinas ventured out to La Trobe Uni, intent on claiming 6 in a row. In this first quarter, La Trobe defended superbly as Aquinas could only muster 3 goals with a very favourable wind. During the second quarter, La Trobe was extremely wasteful in front of goals kicking 1.7 but remained in touch at the half time break, trailing by seven. Aquinas took advantage of the wind, kicking 5.6 to nothing and took a commanding 43-point lead into the last. The home side literally threw caution to the wind in the last, scoring 8.5 to just the 3 points but fell agonisingly short losing by a straight kick. The two Mitchs; Clark and Pearson, kicked 2 and Elliot Kelly and Ryan McMinn worked hard all day for the Students. Michael Jess was the only multiple goal scorer for the Bloods and Tim Neizen was best on.

ALBERT PARK DEF. BY GLEN EIRA Glen Eira travelled to Beaurepaire Pavillion to take on the Falcons. The wind is always a factor on this ground and the wide-open area. The Glen Eira “skeleton” team was no more, as they made 6 big changes in the line-up after resting players against the Animals last week. The Saints started with the wind and amassed a 38-point lead heading into the first change. Then it was the Falcons turn in the second term, outscoring the Saints, 47-2.

The Saints returning the favour again with the wind in the 3rd term, scoring 41-2 in a seesawing battle, akin to the momentum swings in an AliFrazier fight! By the 4th, the wind was less of a factor. Glen Eira was able to hold off the Falcons and evened the scoring, coming away victors by 22 points. Returning star, Daniel Entwistle earned BOG honours and topped the scoreboard with 5 majors, Julius Waras Carstensen with 3. Ryan Want and Jack Amies were best for Albert Park.

@gavsouthern WEST BRUNSWICK DEF. UHS-VU There isn’t much at Ransford Oval either to protect players from the wind. Windy conditions do tend to suit the bigger players and The Magpies have them all over the ground. The under-manned Vultures though, started with the wind and made the most of every opportunity presented to them kicking 3 straight. Any errors made were quickly snapped up by the Magpies but, never really hurt them on the scoreboard until the 3rd quarter, when they kicked 6-3 and 14-25 for the day. UhsVu battled hard but the Magpies simply had too much firepower. Kynan Barnes and John Clark were best for the Vultures. Scott Hulm (4 goals), Will Dillon (3 goals) and Luke Buckler (2) were the multiple goal-scorers for the Magpies. Cashin Cormac and Evan Lloyd both played well. Joel Beer was BOG. SWINBURNE DEF. ELEY PARK It was also a big day for Swinburne with 20-year anniversary celebrations and team of decade being announced. The Razorbacks got off to a great start with the midfield and forward pressure giving a 6-goal lead at quarter time. The Sharks came out in the 2nd quarter, kicking with the wind and kicking 4 goals in quick succession. Eley Park pegged the margin back to two goals just prior to halftime but Swinburne were able to get two more goals late in the quarter to snuff out any chance the Sharks might have had. “Burner” Bahnsen’s return was solid and he was able to capitalize with majors from very few forward entries. It was a well-deserved win for Swinny who are glad to be back in the winners list, having had lost their last 4 games. Chris Marsiglio and Josh Beasley were Eley Park’s better performers and some good signs were Patrick McMahon (2 goals) and Bahnsen (4 goals) getting through full games unscathed.

For Swinny, Tom Kennedy kicked straight with 5 goals, Damon Green 4 and Justin Perillo 3. Daniel Lyon was man of the match. Eley Park now sits in DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD Emmaus St. Leo's v La Trobe Uni

a tumultuous position, just below La Trobe on the bottom of the table.

PREVIEW Just the 4 rounds to go and Eley Park get to rest up. Every game is important in shaping the final ladder. Onto the games for this week: Emmaus St. Leo’s (1st) host La Trobe Uni (10th).

The Animals to win big and La Trobe to drop to bottom.

The Albert Park (8th) vs Swinburne Uni (6th) just misses out as my match of the round but this will be a close one. Swinburne.

A dominant West Brunswick (2nd) travel to Packer Reserve to encounter Glen Eira (7th). If the Saints want finals, they can’t afford to rest players, as

DIVISION 3

Hawthorn (4th) host Uhs-Vu (5th) in my Match of the Round. I’m predicting a rested Hawks to come away with it, which will leave UHS-VU losing 4 of their last 5. Evidently, not good timing for the Vultures heading towards September.

Lastly, Power House (9th) host Aquinas (3rd).

Aquinas got a scare last week and knows Power House is finally starting to find form. Aquinas for me.

Eley Park has their second bye and then a massive game for Division 3 survival against Power House.

DIVISION 4

Rich Hummerson

@Richie_Humm

TAKE ME TO YOUR SPECIAL PLACE TAKE ME TO YOUR SPECIAL PLACE It’s upon us. The time of the year when terms like “mathematically possible” and “eight-point game” enter the vernacular. It’s the run home, and with 2/3rds of the competition still vying for an illustrious top six rung, let’s look at the run home and see who can still ‘mathematically’ make the finals.

faithful have been salivating over the supreme performances of the three powerhouses, Box Hill North has been slowly climbing the ladder. They pushed Canterbury to the last 15 minutes last week and have conquered all those below them.

With no byes before seasons end, they should win 3 of their next four, leaving them on 10 wins and 4th position. 4th

CANTERBURY There’s not much more to be said about the juggernaut of Division 4. The Cobras have been simply devastating this season, flexing their figurative bicep and dismantling opponents with ease. They’re currently undefeated, and it’s going to take either an insipid or inspiring performance (depending from which camp you hail from) for them to notch up loss number one. With Westbourne in the last round their only realistic challenge, it’s hard to see the Cobras relinquishing top spot. Prediction: 1st

NORTH BRUNSWICK As one of three sides on seven wins, North Brunswick faces an uphill battle to remain in the top six. They face Point Cook, Mount Lilydale and Westbourne and realistically could lose all three.

Should that happen, they’ll plummet out of finals contention and will be left with an early mad Monday. I’m predicting a dark end to season with the bulls, and will finish in 7th. 7th

WESTBOURNE GRAMMARIANS It’s been the ‘Dale Collins Show’ down at Westbourne this season, with a phenomenal 97 goals to his name this season; the man is in devastating form. Westbourne face Canterbury in the last round of the game which could be a Grand Final preview or another showing of Canterbury’s might, meaning Point Cook, barring catastrophe, will take the 2nd rung and therefore sending Westbourne to third at seasons end. Prediction 3rd POINT COOK Earlier in the season, it looked to be a two horse race between Point Cook and Canterbury and whilst Point Cook certainly are still in contention, you can’t help but feel their dominance has been somewhat diluted. Should Point Cook, as expected win their remaining three games with Westbourne the underdogs in Round 18 against Canterbury, they’ll leapfrog Westbourne and grab second spot. 2nd BOX HILL NORTH Box Hill North has just been unassumingly going about their business. While the Division Four 22

www.vafa.com.au

MOUNT LILYDALE With trepidation I predict Mount Lilydale’s outcome. They started off the year in appalling fashion, had a mid-season revival owing to some bolstered stocks, plateaued again, and now seem to have returned back to their midseason form.

They should pinch two more wins from their remaining three games, giving them 10 wins, and 5th spot. 5th PARKSIDE The fight for 6th spot is between North Brunswick, Parkside. Manningham optimists will throw their name in the ring, but they’re having a laugh (Ed’s note: Tell us how you really feel, Rich!!). Parkside should win three of their last four games, meaning they’ll finish on eight wins, and pinch the last spot on the ladder in 6th. 6th MANNINGHAM It’s been a rough old year for Manningham.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to rich.hummerston@gmail.com

Crippled by injuries and travel, the Cobras have barely fired a shot. With a meagre four wins to their name, and a tough end to the season, they’ll do well to stave off the challenge from South Mornington for 8th spot. I’ll put them as 9th. 9th

SOUTH MORNINGTON The South Mornington faithful should be buoyed by recent showings from the standings, with their easy beat status nearly erased. While they’ll have a mountain of work to do in the coming pre-season to ready themselves for next season, they will potentially overtake Manningham. 8th

CHADSTONE Another tough slog for Chadstone, however it was fantastic to see them salute for the first time in a few years. They are in the same boat as Masala and will hope to improve next season. Potentially could steal 10th spot, but I’m predicting them to win the spoon. 11th spot here.

MASALA It’s been a brutal initiation for Masala after serving their VAFA apprenticeship in the Clubbies Division.

Chadstone and Masala have traded blows throughout the year, and both sides will be better for the run. Masala to finish 10th.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 DYLAN SWANN – COLLEGIANS Congratulations to Dylan Swann who has been nominated as this week’s Rising Star. Dylan has developed into a senior player at Collegians this year after some strong performances on the half forward flank which earnt him a role in the midfield. Playing a lot like a young Marc Murphy, Dylan is super clean below his knees and uses his burst of speed to break away from opponents. Dylan’s willingness to learn and develop has seen him play 5 senior games and represent the Big V in the Under 19’s.

In Collegians close defeat to ladder leader St Bernard’s, it was arguably Dylan’s best game for the year standing up against the best in the business and was amongst the top players for Collegians.

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 Matullik, marked 40 out and coolly slotted his 6th to give the game to the Sharks 11.7 to 10.11.

5 YEARS AGO – 2010 The Amateur Football Record’s cover highlighted the outstanding achievement of North Brunswick’s champion, Darren Adams, who achieved the distinction of 500 games for his club. Darren won the Reserve’s best and fairest way back in 1991 and then became a senior player for many, many seasons and was selected in the back pocket in the club’s 1996-2005 Team of the Decade. Darren was still a key-playing member guiding the youngsters in the Reserves where his poise and excellent kicking skills were still on display. He had overcome serious injury and was a true legend of the VAFA. Remarkably, he was still running second on his club’s all time list behind his former coach, Peter Dowsett (535 games). The way Darren was going he was set to pass Peter’s record.

In Premier B AJAX cemented their place in the top four with an easy victory over Old Geelong 24.11 to 4.13. The AJAX boys made the most of almost every opportunity, their conversion rate outstanding, the opposite to OG’s 4.13. Best – Lewski, Steinberg, Marks, White, Jankie, Israelsohn (AJAX) and Thomson, Hope-Johnstone, Bell, Legoe, Long, Bayles (OGS).

Williamstown CYMS caused a bit of an upset when they downed ladder leaders Werribee 10.11 to 8.8.

Williamstown were now a real chance to make the top four, only 1 game outside and with quite a good percentage. Best – McCracken, Richards, McKay, Elliott, Lee (3), Cooper (Will) and Murphy, Scudamore, Norton, Pelar, Angelini, Palmington (Werr).

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 C Section scribe, Glen Harrison, said there were 5 cracking games with some absolute thrillers.

Maybe the key game was between Beaumaris and Old Camberwell with the ‘Sharks’ wanting to strengthen their double chance and the ‘Wellers’ a chance to make a run for the finals. Beauy took the early advantage, 7 points up at quarter time, Camberwell narrowing the gap to 2 points at half time. With a strong running game, the Wellers took the lead by a point at three quarter time.

Beaumaris fired right up in the last term, took the lead but the Wellers snatched it back with 90 seconds to go. From the bounce, the Sharks surged forward and their number 4, big Matt 42

In D1 top of the ladder Fitzroy Reds took some time to shrug off a determined Aquinas who belied their lowly spot on the ladder. There were two goals in it at the main break and not much more at three quarter time but the Reds turned on their power game in the last with 6.7 to 2.2 to record a 44 point win. Best – Zanos, Drury, O’Reilly, Gleeson, Cahill, Meighan (Fitzroy) and Box (3), Toomey, Hunt, R Moran Wooden Davies (Aquinas).

Yarra Valley’s Matthew Laing celebrated his 150th game and had been a key member of the 1997 senior and 2002 reserves premiership teams as a goalscoring rover. Off the field, Matt was also contributing as the successful events organiser.

Jacob Dale played his 100th game for Ormond.

‘Yakka” started his junior career at Murrumbeena but transferred to Ormond where he had played in the under 11’s in 1990. He took out the U19’s best and fairest in his first year at that level, went on to play in the seniors and won the 2001 reserves best and fairest along the way. Jacob won the Club Person of the Year in 2003 and was the current Club Treasurer.

D1 Senior Coaches were Steven Bell (Aquinas), Steve Easton (Bulleen Templestowe), Graham Burgen (Fitzroy Reds), Terry Walsh (Glen Eira), Peter Russo (Old Mentonians), David Matthews (Ormond), Steve Maus (Old Carey), Leigh Stafford (Prahran), Stuart Cook (St Leos) and Tim Kilworth (Yarra Valley).

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 In poor conditions, it was another round with many very low scores. In A Section, Ormond only kicked 6.7 for the match but kept North Old Boys to 1.1 to take the points. Not sure when a lower combined score had been recorded in A Section!

Old Melburnians only managed 2.7 versus Uni Blues 17.8 and Old Trinity totalled 3.9 against St Bernards 6.7.

It was not much better in B Section. No senior team totalled more than 60 points and only Old Haileybury kicked more than 5 goals in the reserves grade.

Two VAFA identities and current coaches of the time were mentioned in dispatches. Wayne Harmes and Ken Bremner had been appointed coaches respectively of the Super rules and Masters Rules teams who were to compete in THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

the Master Games in Sydney later in the season.

Wayne was coaching Old Scotch (third) in A Section and Ken was coaching Southbank (fourth) in D Section.

A Section field umpires in this round were W Lyons, J Horwood, C King, F Rossetto, K Coghlan, B Goodman, S Green, R Tracey and M Thomas and S McCarthy.

AFCA VAFA, the VAFA’s coaches’ Association, produced another initiative, A Coach of the Year Dinner as a finale for the season. At the dinner it was proposed to honour the Senior and Under 19 Coaches of the Year in addition to providing a prominent guest speaker. From memory I think Mick Malthouse was the guest speaker!

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 The VAFA umpires held their annual golf day at Torquay ‘Dark horses’ Don Dodds and Andrew Buridge scooped the prizes. The umps finished up with a bar-b-q at David Dressing’s home.

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 The top four teams in C Section looked relatively safe with three games to go but Old Camberwell (4th) had a real scare against bottom placed Coburg. Fortunately for the Wells they hung on to both this game 12.9 to 11.9 and fourth position despite a poor percentage under 100. Best – Haintz (4), Hudson, Holding, Trist, Jepson, Inkster (Camb) and Cugley, Tolley, Krygger, Neivandt, Wood, Peck (Cob).

Bill (Snow) McNamara reached his 250th game with Parkside, only the second to achieve this milestone at his club. ‘Snow’ was an outstanding worker for his club and was acknowledged as one of their finest ever clubmen.

In D Section, West Brunswick (4th) made sure of their position for finals with a big win over State Bank 18.16 to 11.11. Best – Beaumont, Johnstone, Lampard, Lawley, Raindne, Traynor (WB) and Kenez, Matheson, Gniel, Rosewarne (4), Arnephy, Camm (SB).

Chris (Magic) White received congratulations all round from everyone at Footscray Institute of Technology Old Boys upon reaching his 150th game. A reliable clubman off the field, after a number of years on the club committee, Chris had taken on the role of Secretary in this season.

Michael Power and Greg Hobba both recorded their 250th games at Banyule within a few weeks of one another and their football careers had run parallel since they both played Under 10’s with Banyule Juniors. Mike was a talented and versatile left footer who played in almost every position on the field with his long driving kicks always noticeable. In 10 Grand Finals Mike had won 7 premierships and a number of awards including best and fairest in 1979 and 1981. Greg was a highly skilled player who read the game extremely well and had kicked many goals for his club. Greg also played in 7 premiership teams from 10 Grand finals and won the competition best and fairest in 1979 and club best and fairest in 1982. Greg had also been a Victorian representative for the VAFA in 1981 and 1982.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

200 games up to Old Brighton’s ‘Big Joe’ Roger Wilson. Roger was a ‘man mountain’ and a wonderful clubman. Roger was also well known as the celebrated voice of rowing on the ABC.

Old Scotch, 8th in B Section, surprised Ivanhoe (3rd) with a 16 point win. Best were Anderson, Sloss, Hinrichson (Scotch) and Stredwick, R Stewart, C Stewart (Ivanhoe).

Caulfield Grammarians held on to fourth place in B Section when they scraped home by 2 points against Marcellin. Final score was 14.11 to 14.9. Best – Morphet, Watson, Clark (Caulfield Grammarians) and C Price, McDonald, C Mahon (Marcellin).

55 YEARS AGO – 1960 150 games were acknowledged for Alphington’s Ted Whitfield and 100 games for two Kew stalwarts, Noel Stokes and Roy Millist.

Collegians (1st) and Old Xaverians (5th) met in this round. A victory to the Xavs could give them a place in the top four but Collegians proved too strong winning 12.13 to 8.8. Best – Rush (6), Sanders, Powell (Coll) and Malone, Slattery, Edmonds (Old Xavs). The A Section four after this round was Collegians, Old Melburnians, Uni Blues and Uni Blacks in that order.

In B Section, UHSOB were finishing strongly with 7 consecutive wins and were now in top place. De La Salle had won their first 8 games but had dropped 3 of the last 4, now hanging on to second place by percentage from Power House and Kew.

MEGT U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12

FINALS 4 WEEKS AWAY AS TOP 4 SETS The two Uni teams locked horns at Melbourne University Oval and Blacks got the early jump on their rivals leading 29-4 at Quarter time. They stepped up their assault to go into half time at 30-13. After the main break, the Blues rallied and kicked 4 goals to 0 to record a 7-point victory and keep their slim finals hopes alive. Blakey kicked 2 for Blues while Cordell was their best player. The win puts them in 6th place, 2 points behind De La Salle. It will be an arduous task to get to the finals but it looks like the top four may be set.

St.Kevins reentered the winners’ list this week with a 6 goal win over the ailing Old Scotch at T.H.King.

The home side was never troubled by Scotch who have struggled with consistency all year and may find themselves in a relegation battle at season’s end. Kerr and Ring kicked 4 each for SKOB with the latter being named best on ground. The win sees them move to third, four points behind the second placed Old Xavs. Anderson kicked 3 and Hays was the best for Scotch in a tough game for the side.

register a goal in the game shows how potent this St Bernards’ side truly is. They remain the team to beat after their 2014 premiership success and it will take a mighty force to stop them.

Two heavyweights battled it out at the Shark Tank down in Beaumaris in what many hoped would prove to be a game that compared with their first clash of the year where the Old Xaverians came out 8 point winners. In a crucial game for Beaumaris, they played as if they had nothing to lose and threw the kitchen sink at the Xavs leading 27-13 at the first break. Then the Xavs fired up and kicked 5 goals to 1 and wrestled back the momentum in a free flowing tight contest. Beauy took the lead back at three quarter time before the Xavs once again rallied in a true showing of grit and determination and took it in a nail biter by 11 points to just about lock in a top 2 finish, barring a disaster on the way home. Silk starred with Morris and Hausegger putting in strong showings too.

Buckle kicked 2 and was close to the Sharks best.

De La had a whopping 150pt win against the hapless Old Trinity at the Dairy Bell. An 8 goal to 0 first term set up the rot and they powered on from there, with another 7 in the second term.

Old Trinity had little firepower to combat with De La, only managing the 6 goals for the day. Tyquin kicked 7 for De La while Vawser once again found himself best on ground and a serious chance for the league’s best and fairest this year.

Old Melburnians have been quite competitive over the last 6 weeks but nothing could prepare them for the might of St. Bernards. OMs could manage but a solitary point for the afternoon as Bernards kicked a whopping 30, including an eight-goal term to start proceedings and 10 in the third quarter. Sibbald was outstanding kicking 6 and Delzoppo was at his usual lethal best in the rout. It was always going to be a tough day at the park for OMs but the fact that they could not 44

SECTION TWO St Bede’s Mentone kept their season alive on Saturday morning, holding off a fast finishing Fitzroy by 11-points at Brindisi Street Oval. The Lions were left to rue missed opportunities as they failed to capitalise on a strong start, scoring 2.6 to 2.0 in the first term. The Tigers came out with ferocity in the second quarter, taking complete ownership of the game to take a commanding 37-point lead into the main break.

From there it was all Fitzroy as they kicked five of the last six goals of the contest to fall just short of what would have been a memorable comeback.

Dane Heverin and Corey Bader each kicked three for the Tigers, with the latter best afield in the victory.

Marcellin challenged old Brighton at Brighton Beach Oval on their way to running out eventual 50-point winners. The final margin doesn’t tell the true tale of the game however, as Marcellin were right in it for two quarters. The visitors brought the intensity early but poor execution let them down, as the Tonners made the most of their opportunities and Marcellin blew golden chances. At half time the margin was 14-points.

The second half was one-way traffic as Old Brighton put their foot to the gas and took control of proceedings, booting seven goals to two in the second half. Matthew Duchini booted three majors and Thomas Garner was best afield for the Tonners.

SECTION THREE Williamstown upset second placed Old Carey on Saturday to draw level on points with the second placed Panthers. It was expected that the match would be played at a finals-like intensity and the first half didn’t disappoint, with a solitary point separating the teams at half time. Williamstown was all over Old Carey in the second half and this performance is sure to strengthen their credentials as a serious premiership threat.

They ran out 35-point winners in what was a truly impressive performance, showcasing their slick ball movement and power around the ball.

Parkinson and Connolly booted three each, while Zander Adam’s four goal haul for the Panthers wasn’t enough to drag his team over the line.

Old Geelong were never threatened by Hampton Rovers, as the premiership favourite continued on their merry way to run out 42-point winners.

The damage was all done in the first quarter as Old Geelong skipped out to an early four goal lead. Jock Grimshaw ran rampant early on route to another bag of goals. He finished with six majors to take his season tally to 49.

James Planner continued his rich vein of form to finish best afield in the victory. Old Geelong increasingly look like the complete side in the competition and it is getting harder to see them losing their momentum.

In other results, Ormond smashed Old Xaverians by 99-points, and St Bernards overpowered Old Camberwell by 52-points.

Other results saw Parkdale overpower Collegians, Caulfield Grammar was too strong for Mazenod, and Whitefriars ran hot against Old Ivanhoe.

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

Well, things are getting really serious now, as we head into the last part of the season. It’s time to be putting your best foot forward, training hard and striving hard to achieve those much cherished finals spots. The next few weeks are a chance to put your name in front of the coaches and maybe jump a couple of pegs in the rankings as we speed towards September.

ONE FOR TRIVIA NIGHT 2016?

On Saturday we saw the end of an era, when Old Melburnians hosted Caulfield Grammarians in the last game of Australian Football to be played at the Junction Oval. Whilst OMs were able to salute one last time at the Junction, it may be worth jotting down Frank Stokes, Gavin De Krester, Frank Palermo, Max Gray, Rob Parry and Tom Moloney in preparation for next years’ trivia night. The question, name the last Umpires to officiate a football match at the Junction Oval.

200 UP FOR MR SMOOTH One of the most respected umpires in the VAFA brought up 200 games last weekend. Merv Monty has been running around in the VAFA for the last 10 years, after relocating from Darwin. Merv has an amazing umpiring CV, having umpired the Grand Finals in all Premier grades, been named VAFA Umpire of the year and toured with representative sides to New Zealand, the recent game against AFL Vic Country Div 1 and the undoubted highlight, Ireland.

Merv’s attention to detail cannot be faulted, nor can his respect for doing the job properly. When he toured Ireland, he went to the official supplier of the GAA Referees to obtain the correct uniform for the games he was officiating in, so that he and his Irish counterparts looked like a team on the field.

Merv is an extremely popular member of the umpiring fraternity, and is held in extremely high regard by umpires, players and coaches and continues to be one of the best in the business.

This true professional, is possibly getting better with age. And you can be sure that the only time that he’ll complain is when the temperature starts to drop, an you can guarantee that he’ll be the first one on the track to be wearing a beanie (usually 52

in May!).

Merv, from all of us in the VAFAUA, congratulations on 200 fantastic games!

“ARE YOU GUYS MIC’D UP?” There are times when senior umpires run down the grades throughout the year, whether that is on rotation or coming back from injury. When this occurs it is more often than not, with a younger or inexperienced umpire to assist them with their development by acting as an on field coach. This experience is beneficial for both the younger umpire and also the senior umpire who gets to be an unofficial mentor for the day.

One of the pitfalls for senior umpires though, is potentially saying something to themselves out loud and players hearing it.

On Saturday, the perpetually injured Andrew Hartnett found himself running in Under 19 Premier with 2 youngsters. At one point he was hoping one of his team mates would push up closer to the play in the end zone. Unfortunately this encouragement was out loud, with a player asking, “Are you guys mic’d up?” Well we aren’t, but maybe that could be an idea going forward, so that umpires can get instruction on the run.

CONDOLENCES All at the VAFAUA would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Santo Caruso, whose father recently passed away.

ST BERNARDS THE BIGGEST WINNERS St Bernards has easily accounted for Parkside by 96 points with Dylan Gollant having an outstanding game, kicking five goals. Parkside were never in the hunt after St Bernards kicked seven goals in the opening term. St Bernards shared the load with 11 individual goal kickers while Jordan Wood was the standout player around the ground.

Ivanhoe maintains its place on top of the ladder, grinding out a win in a low scoring affair against Old Paradians. There was a total of nine goals kicked in the match and Samuel Aanensen kicked four of them for Ivanhoe. Darcy Cotter had a good game for Old Paradians with a goal and plenty of touches however he wasn’t able to affect the result as his side lost 54 to 17.

In the closest game of the round, University Blues downed Williamstown by seven points. The result could easily have been different had it not been for Williamstown’s inaccurate kicking in the final term. Simeon Flanagan was the standout with three goals for University while Temby and Dawson kicked two each for Willaimstown.

In the final game of the round, La Trobe beat

Point Cook by 23 points on the back of Pattrick Carroll’s three goals while UHS-VU Flemington had the bye.

U19 SECTION 4

ST KEVINS UPSET NORTHERN BLUES Round 14 saw St Kevins record a comfortable 69 point victory over the highest place Northern Blues. The Blues could only manage six goals for the game with power forward Damien DelleVergini being held scoreless. The Blues will need to find more avenues to goal if they want to impress in finals. St Kevins led from start to finish with Kennedy and Edginton booting five and three goals respectively.

Monash Blues had no trouble accounting for last placed Melbourne High. A flurry of eight goals their way in the first quarter broke the game open, with Melbourne High not scoring a major till midway through the third term. The final score read 142 to 7. William Hogan and Nicholas Woodland kicked bags of goals each while Rymarz put in a solid performance.

Mazenod could only manage 100 point this week but that was still enough to beat Old Haileyburians by 37 points. The game was close 54

at half time, however a strong third quarter by Mazenod saw the game put beyond doubt.

Nodders’ Jacob Murdock was best on with a bag of seven goals.

Peninsula is still unbeaten and top of the table after downing De La by 31 points. At the last change the game was anyone’s, however Peninsula kicked five goals to one in the last to take the win.

In the final two games, Beaumaris accounted for Oakleigh and Parkdale beat Therry Penola.

FINAL FOURS SETTLED ST FRANCIS STILL UNDEFEATED SECTION 1 La Trobe University struggled against lowly placed Ivanhoe on the neutral ground of the Paradian Garvey Oval. Accurate scoring was a rarity and each side recorded a scoreless quarter. Although La Trobe dominated early, despite their lack of numbers, (music at Byron Bay was allegedly a better option for some!), their accuracy was wayward.

Ivanhoe defenders did well but their forwards could not convert opportunities. La Trobe, through their twenty-six point victory, insured a First Semi Final berth.

Second placed Hawthorn virtually ended any final aspirations for Prahran/ Assumption when the “Spartans’ won their match by forty two points.

Significantly Hawthorn had three players who each kicked four goals namely John Farah, Stan.

Neohoritis and Daniel Lauletta. For Prahran/ Assumption, Steve De Bolfo kicked four goals and veteran Mason Medallist, Jason Storer was back to his best form.

After an evenly contested first half, Richmond Central gained the ascendancy in the second half to record a thirty four point win over North Old Boys/ St Patricks. Old Geelong forfeited to Old Xaverians.

SECTION 2 Despite marked inaccuracy in the second quarter, Albert Park notched a big win over University High School/ V.U. by eighty-six points. Albert Park held their opponents scoreless in the second quarter as they added seven unanswered goals (and eight behinds), which helped set up their victory.

West Brunswick started well against Kew and led by fifteen points at the first change when an upset seemed a distinct possibility. However Kew gained the ascendancy in the second quarter and held a twelve-point lead at half time. The second half saw Kew gradually build their lead to seventeen points by the game’s end. Jon Mould and Michael ‘Gnocchi’ Walsh were outstanding for the Kew Bears.

58

St Francis Xavier led Melbourne High School Old Boys throughout their match at Forest Hill. The undefeated leaders, who built their lead each quarter, ended up with a winning margin of seventy-one points.

Ormond, who made the long westward journey to Westbourne Grammarians, ended up with a fourteen-point win. However, they had to work hard for their victory as the Grammarians led by fifteen points at the last change. Ormond’s last quarter dominance yielded them four unanswered goals as the Westbourne Grammarians failed to add to their three quarter time score.

ROUND 15 PREVIEW SECTION 1 I expect Prahran/ Assumption to end their season with victory over North Old Boys/ St Patricks when they meet on Como Park this morning.

Ivanhoe should finish their season with a victory over Old Geelong, who has not enjoyed much success in 2015.

La Trobe University will be all out to defeat second placed Hawthorn on the huge University Oval. For Hawthorn the huge ground should prepare them for their remaining games at Sportscover Arena.

La Trobe will need to be at full strength to win this game: unlike their lack of numbers last Saturday.

Significantly many of Hawthorn’s early season stars were prominent in their victory over Prahran/ Assumption last week. Despite my doubts about Hawthorn’s game on big grounds, I believe their overall strength will prove too much for La Trobe, who seems to have lost their early season sparkle.

Old Xaverians will face spirited opposition from Richmond Central, who will be out to gain confidence should these two teams meet again in two or three weeks time. Old Xaverians, who will be short on match practice after last week’s walkover, may start slowly but I expect them to finish strongly and win the game.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

SECTION 2 Kew should be able to defeat University High school/V.U. this morning on the Brens Oval. The home side, with only one win for the season will not be able to match the Kew talent as the ‘Brown and Golds” build up for next week’s Semi Final.

Today sees the first of a possible three clashes between St Francis Xavier and Albert Park over the next four weeks. St Francis Xavier will be aided by home ground advantage as they strive to maintain their unbeaten record today. They are entitled to favouritism and I select them to win and thus enter next Saturday’s Semi Final with confidence.

Melbourne High School Old Boys will be seeking redemption following their big loss last Saturday.

They should be talented enough to take the points from Westbourne Grammarians, who wilted badly last week when in a winning position. Defeat for the “Unicorns” would dent their confidence for next week’s Semi Final appearance.

West Brunswick host Ormond this afternoon.

Ormond are coming off a good win at Westbourne Grammar and West Brunswick was not disgraced in losing to Kew. Thus the stage is set for a close match to finish the season for each Club. On the Ransford Oval, West Brunswick is my selection.

As this is my final home and away column, I thank my contributors and my readers, whose supportive comments have always been appreciated. Until 2016…
