VAFA SUPPORTS MULTICULTURALISM AND DIVERSITY This week is the AFL Multicultural Round and we celebrate the many wonderful cultures who all share a common passion for footy and that no matter who you are or where you come from, Australian Rules Football is a sport that embraces everyone willing to get involved and have a good time.

The VAFA has the extraordinary power to bring people together regardless of background.

Everything’s possible when we unite through the love of the game. We highlight the contribution multicultural communities have made to the game’s history and welcome new communities to embrace Australia’s game in the future.

A number of different initiatives are being promoted at each venue. Footballs will carry the brand name Sherrin, either in Hindi, Mandarin or Arabic, the 50m lines on grounds to be marked to reflect a language theme and the word ‘umpire’ will be translated into seven languages and printed on the back of their shirts.

The VAFA embraces diversity and inclusion and provides football to everyone regardless of colour, race creed and even skill. We are on a continued journey and this round gives us the opportunity to make a statement to all fellow participants that we respect their heritage and their individual story.

Much has been written, discussed and argued over the last two weeks in relation to the booing of Adam Goodes. Whilst opinions vary wildly on the cause of the crowd antagonism towards Goodes, I feel the game would be better off if all booing ceased, whether it be directed toward Adam Goodes or any other individual.

Indeed, our Association is very clear on the matter.

Our spectator Code of Conduct’s number one expectation of those viewing Amateur games is to “Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all individual including refraining from any discriminatory practices on the basis of race,

religion, ethnic background or special ability/ disability”. The Code later requires spectators to conduct themselves in a manner that “enhances the values of the Victorian Amateur Football Association”. Clearly, the number one value that underpins our Association is respect.

It has been pleasing to witness many AFL club leaders, the AFL Players’ Association and a large number of individual AFL players come out in support of Adam Goodes and plead with supporters to stop the booing, but at the end of the day, they have very little control over how crowds behave. And whilst some would say this is a good thing, the game has suffered significantly in recent months because of this lack of control.

In contrast, at VAFA level, we can and do control crowd behaviour and our game is better off as a result. Our alcohol policy is at the heart of our crowd control issue and we are highly respected and envied by other competitions for our strong stance in this area. So too is our uncompromising policy on behaviour both on and off the field and the strict enforcement of our rules.

At a recent meeting of players working towards the formation of a VAFA Players’ Association, I was pleased to hear of the players’ concern in regard to abuse towards umpires from spectators.

They were underlining the basic tenet of our competition: respect for others. We have a great deal to be thankful for in the VAFA and we should prize the way our competition functions; but we must remain vigilant in protecting what we have.

A final thought comes from the last verse of Yevgeny Yevtushenko’s 1963 poem, ‘Picture of Childhood’, which reads: I can’t remember how many there were making a din, beating him up It may have been a hundred, it may have been more But I, just a boy, wept for shame And if a hundred are beating somebody up Howling in a frenzy, even if for a good cause I will never make one hundred and one.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Andrew Leonard

DE LA SALLE SHOWING DE LA SOUL Outside of the rampaging top two, De La Salle is the form side of William Buck Premier. Unbeaten in their past five outings, amazingly De La can still play in September. Collegians, St Bernard’s, Old Trinity and Beaumaris stand in their way. It’s a tough run and the prospect of playing finals will rely heavily on two of Old Carey, Uni Blues or Old Xaverians slipping up, but nevertheless Paul Satterly’s side have shown remarkable resilience to turn their season around.

If they somehow were to keep winning and sneak into the four, De La Salle would be a couple of wins away from playing in the first Grand Final in almost 50 years not to be played at Elsternwick Park. Yes, this year’s William Buck Premier decider will be at Ikon Park, or the venue formerly known as Princes Park. The ground is first class, the amenities will be a step up for the players and spectators alike, but will the crowds swell? After a trial of separating the Grand Final on it’s own weekend, we return to the Sunday following the Prem B and C matches the day before. Hopefully that final weekend is a festival of VAFA football and a growth in crowd will swell numbers to mark it a success.

Back to Round 14 musings. De La held sway over Uni Blacks at every change, but it wasn’t until the final quarter where they were able to break free. Leigh Harrison booted four majors and Matt Fieldsend’s form line is directly proportional with that of his side. De La getting the drive from midfield via Fieldsend and Gotch that they craved.

Jordan Quaile is just about the most improved player in William Buck Premier. Carrying the Blacks midefield burden it has been a breakout month.

Unfortunately the return of Charlie Richardson from suspension didn’t give Blacks the boost they needed.

Old Carey were firing on all cylinders and Old Trinty simply couldn’t get their hands on the ball. The clearance work of Carey’s mids set this game on course in the first half to give the visiting Panthers a four-goal half time edge. Old Trinity are the best second half side in the comp and when the first clearance of the second half went their 2

@ Lennytalk way, Alex Polidoros duly converted the chance inside a minute. Trinity had cut the deficit to three points within five minutes of brilliant football.

Harry Tinney started to get the ball and when he went on a weaving run to kick a goal in the final quarter it was hard to see Old Carey winning.

Cam Howat ran just as hard and Joel Rice was prominent, but again it was the bigger bodies of Old Trinity that torched Carey at the contest in the second half. Jakob Steinhart has made the outer wing his own at the Daley and again he was dominant. I wonder if he will scout the wings at Ikon Park before September?

What has happened to Collegians? Well they haven’t won a game since the Queen’s Birthday bye. Their season form reads three straight losses, five straight wins, now three straight losses to be back in the bottom two after they went down to Uni Blues. In Shura Taft’s 200th club game, the little master could only manage one goal and whilst Nick Corp kicked five, it has been Collegians lack of scoring power that has cost them this year.

Blues on the other hand are up and about again after their own mini slump. Marshall Rippon has taken his game to the next level and his two way running has been a feature for Blues in recent weeks. Collegians were in this game, but Blues always felt most likely. Enter Paddy Hayes, three goals in a 10-minute burst in the last quarter gave Blues all the momentum they needed. Hayes finished with four, as Blues took the points and moved back into fourth spot.

The scoreline at three quarter time of Beaumaris and Old Scotch read like it was a game featuring the bottom two clubs. Both sides had three goals each and the Sharks led by a point with 30 minutes of football remaining. Then finally all the chip, chip, chip kicks started to become long fast ball movement and the Cardinals were in attack again and again. The visitors kicked an incredible 8.13 in the final quarter to blow the Sharks out of the water, and most likely back to Premier B WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Old Carey v Old Scotch Beaumaris v Old Trinity University Blues v Old Xaverians St Bernards v University Blacks De La Salle v Collegians

next year. Hugo Perry was a key for the Cardinals, his propensity to send the ball deep inside and play on commenced a sequence of scoring for the Cardinals that was unexpected as it was transfixing. Beaumaris look to have run their race.

As is so often the case, a depleted outfit with too many eligible U19 players has simply run out of gas. There are still chances left, but the Sharks must now win their remaining four games, which, given their recent run, would be Houdini like.

Old Xaverians were on track for another memorable win at the Snakepit for much of their contest against St Bernards. It wasn’t until just a few minutes to go that the Xavs cause seemed lost. The home side booted 5.6 to 2.1 in the final quarter to break Xaverian hearts. That was not before a fantastic four-goal haul to Andrew Mathis.

The Thirds/Reserves player in his first senior game of the year became the vital alternative to Matt Handley, who also kicked four goals. At the other end, Xav’s defensive deficiencies against tall forwards were again exposed. Chad Jones

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

This week Blues and Xavs battle it out for a place in the four, whilst Old Carey simply must beat Old Scotch if they are to play finals for the first time.

De La Salle can continue their run and heap more misery on Collegians, whilst the top two will again collect wins.

ST BEDES/ MENTONE TIGERS LOCK ON 2ND It seems Premier B put their kicking boots back on in Round 14. In contrast to last week, when it was pointed out that only one team managed to kick more goals than behinds, this week there were several more positive score lines. Some interesting gaps have opened up in the Premier B ladder, and while anything is mathematically possible (even St Kevins being knocked off the top!), things look pretty settled as we head into the final month of the home and away season. There’s the four game gap between St Kevins and the Tigers in first and second. The door to the finals could be quickly closing with a current two-game gap between Old Melburnians and AJAX in fifth. The relegation battle seems to be becoming a three-horse race, with Parkdale in eighth stuck two games behind Hampton in seventh.

Back in Round 4, Fitzroy snagged their first win of the season against Mazenod. The margin was less than a goal at the last change but the Roys stormed home with an eight-goal final quarter.

This time around it was an easier day for Fitzroy.

They led from start to finish and ran away with a 45 point win, to inflict Mazenod’s seventh straight defeat. Daniel Bisetto kicked six for the winners and he was joined among the best players by Matthew Kyrioussis and Luke Baker. Mazenod made six changes to the side that got within eight points of the Vultures in Round 13. Corey Martino and Jacob Murdock made their season debuts and Murdock was impressive with five goals first up. Damian Byrne and Jaydyn Hill also made their debuts in recent weeks and continued their good form against the Roys. Fitzroy’s next match is against Hampton Rovers, both of whom are currently stuck above the relegation zone but out of reach of the top four.

St Bede’s/Mentone have celebrated Paul Wintle’s 300th game in style, with a come-from-behind victory against Old Melburnians. The contest was everything we expect from the teams sitting second and third on the ladder and leaves the Tigers sitting outright second. The OM’s held a 14 point lead at the main break thanks to a five goal second quarter and still held a narrow lead at 4

@ DAChalmers81 three-quarter time. The Tigers came to life in the final term, kicking seven goals to one and claiming a five goal win. Josh Freezer and Stuart Watson were best on for the OM’s while Tom Hywood continued his consistent form in front of goal.

James Murnane and Luke Velluto combined for seven goals for the Tigers while 300 gamer Wintle and the Tyquin boys were also among the best.

Next up, the Tigers take on Parkdale at the Vultures Nest, while Old Melburnians host the Tonners in another top four clash.

AJAX hit some good form in recent weeks. They won three in a row and were knocking on the door of the top four, then they came up against St Kevins. Whatever the pre-match chatter, I’m sure the main goal was to avoid a repeat of their Round 6 match which saw the SKOBs get up by 94 points.

Against an unchanged Jackas line up, St Kevins opened up a 14 point lead at quarter time, but AJAX hit back to trail by seven points at the main break. As often happens, the SKOBs found an extra gear and kicked six goals to the Jackas three in the third term, giving them a five goal buffer. AJAX was unable to bridge the gap in the final quarter and St Kevins increased the final margin to 41 points. Regular contributors David Fayman (four goals) and Jake Lew (two) were prominent for the Jackas, while Adam Caplan and Justin Berkowitz also featured. Stephen Gilham returned after a week off to kick five goals, while Phil Edgar (three goals), Brad McCann and Nick Wood also played important roles in the SKOBs 14th straight victory, which came after being heavily challenged by the Rovers the week before.

The Hampton Rovers pushed St Kevins to within three goals last week and they continued their late season momentum against a hapless Caulfield side, who have now lost nine in a row. The match featured the senior debuts of Rovers Zach Donald and Jandre Olivier; the latter impressed with his work in the ruck and finished with two goals to his name. A seven goal to three opening term set the PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD Fitzroy FC v Hampton Rovers AFC AJAX v Caulfield Grammarians Parkdale Vultures v St Bedes / Mentone Tigers Old Melburnians v Old Brighton Gr.

standard for the contest and the Rovers just kept piling them on, finishing with their highest score for the season. Leigh Fletcher, Harry Hill and Mark Devereaux were best on ground for the Rovers and they featured 13 individual goalkickers, including Daniel Corp and Ed Turner with four goals and Matthew Robbins with three. For Caulfield, Charlie Logan, Aiden Clarke and Lloyd Everett all returned and made good contributions. The Rovers join Fitzroy and AJAX in that weird “twilight zone”, two games above relegation but also three games outside finals.

Old Brighton escaped with a 10 point win against the visiting Parkdale Vultures, despite a third quarter during which they kicked just eight behinds and trailed at the final change. As it was a still day, there was no rhyme or reason for the Tonners inaccuracy, and it got to the point where players were looking to pass off rather than have a shot for goal themselves. The Tonners started well, and opened up an early 13 point lead. However,

the Vultures fought back, kicking six goals to two during the middle stages of the game thanks largely to the work of James Salouris and Charlie Dillon. Nathan Ng also returned to the side and kicked two goals. For the Tonners, Ben Jarick battled hard in the ruck and Ben Gadsden pushed himself to the limit, trying to lift his teammates.

Marcel Bruin was being heavily tagged and he did not return after hobbling off at half-time.

The Vultures led by four points heading into the final quarter and the Tonners needed someone to stand up. Coroneos, Jakobi and Gadsden were all important contributors and in the end they managed to get over the line after a five goal final term. The win leaves the Tonners in third position, level with Old Melburnians who happen to be their next opponent. The Vultures are stuck in the relegation zone in eighth position, two games adrift of the Rovers and they host the Tigers in Round 15.

HOES SLIP PAST GUTSY THERRY A courageous Therry Penola pushed Old Ivanhoe to its limit until falling to defeat in the final moments. The Lions clutched onto the lead with four minutes remaining before the Hoes kicked two important goals to take back the lead and steal the four points. Elsewhere, Monash Blues were tested by a rejuvenated Williamstown CYMS and took a four quarter performance for the Blues to get over the line. Old Haileyburians let its firm grasp on fourth spot slip as Marcellin made light work of the Bloods at Marcellin College.

Old Camberwell escaped the relegation zone for now with a win over last placed PEGS. Peninsula closed within one game of a top four position with a comfortable victory against Oakleigh.

Therry Penola would take comfort knowing they can still push quality teams to the final siren, but in the end it wasn’t enough to beat Old Ivanhoe.

The Lions had the lead at both the second and third quarters – a 10 point advantage going into the fourth term. Although in a low scoring game, four goals to one in the last was enough to get the Hoes over the line by nine. Robert Glavas kicked three in the win whilst Oliver Parks was best on ground. Brenton Egglestone’s return to Therry Penola’s line-up almost proved the game winning move against Old Ivanhoe. He kicked three goals in his return, but as the only multiple goal scorer, it wasn’t enough to take the win home. The loss forces Therry Penola into the relegation zone with four games remaining.

Monash Blues also endured a four quarter slog at Frearson Oval against Williamstown CYMS before emerging victorious. The Blues got the early jump on the CYs with a 13-point lead to end the first. The margin didn’t exceed two goals in the next two quarters as Williamstown stuck with its top two opposition. Much like the game prior, Monash lit up the last quarter putting five past the CYs to hold out a 26-point win against good opposition. Andrew Young was named best 6

afield in Monash’s victory. Williamstown currently have a two-game advantage on those below in relegation – one more win could keep them safe this season.

Marcellin put Old Haileyburians’ finals spot in jeopardy in a crushing 65-point victory over the Bloods. The Eagles increased its advantage at each break, as the ladder-leaders didn’t give the Bloods a sniff. A 22-point lead at halftime became 40 at the final change. 11 goal kickers to Haileybury’s meagre four showed the difference in firepower from first to fourth. Michael Abrahams took best on ground honours for his efforts and also kicked a goal. Old Haileybury now must fight off Peninsula in the last month of the season if they hope to play finals.

The two lowly placed clubs PEGS and Old Camberwell fought it out as both had the opportunity to emerge with a rare victory. PEGS earned the advantage in the first term kicking four goals to one before the Wellers closed the distance at the main break to 12-points. PEGS battled after halftime managing only one goal in the second half. Old Camberwell took a onepoint ascendancy in the third then kicked away with four more in the last quarter. Trent Skurrie’s four majors wasn’t enough for PEGS to win, whilst the Wellers’ shared the spoils, including best on recipient Harry Crothers getting on the end of one.

Peninsula insured there would be only one other contender to the top four as they crushed Oakleigh Krushers’ finals hopes at home. The Pirates made the statement in the opening quarter with five goals, and did so again in the second, tallying on another five and keeping Oakleigh goalless. 10 more majors for Peninsula substantially ended hopes of an Oakleigh resurgence, as they had no answer to the Pirates’ PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD Old Ivanhoe v Peninsula Williamstown CYMS v Old Camberwell Monash Blues v Marcellin Therry Penola v Old Haileyburians Oakleigh v PEGS

six multiple goal scorers. The final siren couldn’t sound quick enough for the Krushers as they lost by 94 points. Stefan Barbour led all comers with four goals and James Fletcher was B.O.G for Peninsula.

This week, Old Ivanhoe face Peninsula at home, the Hoes will be tested once again but expect them to win at Chelsworth Park. Williamstown CYMS host Old Camberwell, and I’m predicting the CY’s to hold onto the points. First plays second as Marcellin travels to Monash Blues. Home ground advantage sways the tip in Monash’s favour with a golden chance to claim top spot. Therry Penola plays Old Haileyburians, a must win if the Bloods are to play finals. They’ll take the points in a close one. Oakleigh is pitted against PEGS to round out the fixtures. I’m predicting that the Krushers will get back on the winners’ list.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

MULTICULTURAL ROUND

Following on from last week’s story in ‘For the Love of the Game’, it is the AFL’s Multicultural round.

As our nation further diversifies itself, we see more and more cultures and ethnicities added to the hotpot of our great game. As players such as Stephen Coniglio, Majak Daw and Lin Jong run around for their respective teams in the AFL, there are VAFA sides with representatives from all across the globe, proudly playing for their team colours. Not from any personal experience, so I can only make wild presumptions, however moving to another country would be a most challenging time for any person, or family, which makes sporting clubs such an inviting prospect, particularly when they are environments that are inclusive and welcoming.

As a competition, we strive to provide a voice

for every player and every group in the VAFA, no matter what their background or creed. The tagline for the round is ‘Many Cultures, One Game’, a very powerful statement of the intent of Australian Rules football, and one that we live and die by. In the VAFA, we all have a different story and a different reason for living in Australia. Some of us may have not explored such reasons; other may have been forced to make the choice for their own self-preservation. for their own self-preservation.

However, essentially we all play amateur football for pretty similar reasons. A community to belong to, a ball we revere and a game we love. Below are just a few of the many, many players who come from various backgrounds and play at VAFA clubs.

During this week, we will be featuring player profiles, videos and other material on the VAFA website that covers Multicultural Round.

BRENDAN IEZZI JOINS 96.5 INNERFM VAFA PANEL Injured Old Trinity champion Brendan Iezzi is joining the panel alongside John Kanis and Kenny Petrucco to make a dream panel at 96.5 Inner FM from Saturday the 15th of August until the end of the season. The addition to the panel comes with Michael Fitzgerald’s departure and his return to South Australia. Iezzi is a two time Woodrow Medal recipient and a three time League B&F winner. He is a genuine star of the VAFA, and is a hugely exciting addition to a panel teeming with amateur footy experience already. The VAFA Radio Show is scheduled for every Saturday morning at 9am until 11am. Be sure to tune in as finals fever builds!

GARY PURUNTATAMERI AND KEIRAN APUATIMI play for St Mary’s Salesian and have come to the club as recipients of the Palmary Development Program, which enables Indigenous young adults to study at Swinburne University and live in Melbourne for a year. Both boys hail from the Tiwi Islands, and will be studying a Certificate in Horticulture at Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn. Whilst Kieran has since returned to the Northern Territory, Gary has kicked 39 goals and is sitting sixth in the overall goal kicking leaderboard in Division 1. He is one of the most mercurial players in the competition.

ROLAND ODENTHAL plays for the Canterbury Cobras. Roland was born in Germany, and his love of the AFL started with his involvement in the German Australian Rules League. He plays in the midfield, and is a carpet layer. He moved to Australia to be with his Australian girlfriend.

BIG DAY AT THE OFFICE

Ivanhoe played Monash Gryphons in Division 2 Reserve over the weekend and Ivanhoe simply smashed their opponent. The end score was 44.25.289 to 0.0.0. According to our sources, the highest score in VAFA history firmly remains in tact. According to an item in FTLOTG published in Round 1, the record was set in 1983 by Melbourne Uni’s combined under 19s against

Kew in Junior Section 1. It was 65.35 (425) to 1.1 (7). Uni had 15 goalkickers and their top goalkicker booted nine goals. However, Ivanhoe can possibly claim a record number of individual goalkickers, with 18. Their top goalscorer was Ryan Smyth with 12 snags. If you know of a game when this mark was bettered, send through your claim and we will look into our archives.

THE CAVEN CABINET ASH CLOSE TO AFL RANKS? Pardon the lazy pun, but former Ivanhoe AFC full forward Ashley Close has been invited to the AFL state draft combine in October, highlighting his meteoric rise through the ranks from Division 3 centurion goalkicker to VFL-listed player. Close, 23, kicked 117 goals in 2012 for Ivanhoe, who came runners up to Yarra Valley despite Close’s individual brilliance. Since then Close has been plying for Northcote Park in the Northern Football League and Collingwood’s VFL team after winning a premiership with Morwell in 2014. Northcote Park coach Harmit Singh praised Ivanhoe for providing an environment for Close to develop his game in a short interview. ‘It’s remarkable because you think someone with the physical attributes he has has missed the system, firstly at TAC Cup level, but developed his game at Ivanhoe.’ Pictured above is the big Moose lining up for goal number 100 against Kew. 12

This is potentially an unprecedented feat in the VAFA. This year, the three Caven brothers have all played VAFA representative football. All of the Caven boys play in the backline for William Buck Premier club St Bernards, and present a formidable task for any of the blokes unlucky enough to be trawling the forward line when they come up against the Snowdogs. Tom Caven (pictured above) played in the most recent senior representative team against Vic Country in Bendigo and was Vice-Captain. He also played in the VAFA representative side in the Victorian football championships earlier in the year and has played in a number of other representative sides. Simon Caven (pictured below) played in the under-23 team in the Australian Amateur Football Carnival down in Tasmania where he was captain.

He was also selected in the best side of the Carnival. Michael Caven was selected in the Under 19 team against Vic Country in Bendigo, where he was captain and won the ‘Spirit of the Big V’ award.

Justin won the U19 Premier Best & Fairest in 1998, before making his Senior debut in 1999.

He won the Reserves B&F in 2002 and starred in the 2003 Premier Reserves Premiership. A great aerialist, Justin is still dominating in the Thirds every week and providing leadership to the young blokes coming through the ranks. A terrific clubman, Justin has also been on the committee for the past two years. All at St Bernards salute Justin on his fantastic commitment and contribution to the club. Well done Evo!

Congratulations to SBMT’s PAUL WINTLE – Paul commenced in 1998, playing two seasons in the U19’s, winning the U19 Best & Fairest in 1999. In 2000 Paul’s efforts saw him awarded Best First Year Player and followed up in 2001 winning the Most Courageous E. J. Turner Memorial Award, an award which he also won in the 2008 Premier Premiership win over Collegians, and again in 2009. In 2003 Paul was Runner-Up Best and Fairest and went one better in 2004, winning the William Groves Club Champion Memorial Trophy and to top that off, also scored the Most Consistent Award. 2006 was another great year for Paul, as part of the Premiership team against AJAX and being presented with the Best Team Player award. In 2010 Paul won the Club Leading Goal Kicker award and in 2012 was honoured to be named VAFA State Captain and awarded Life Membership of the Club.

Congratulations to Old Brighton’s JONO EDGE – One of the Clubs favourite sons, Jono achieved Life Membership when he played his 200th game against Parkdale. Jono joined the Club in 2002 and quickly found his place in the Senior team, either as a nuggetty back pocket or determined on-baller, keen to run and set up play. Jono has captained the Reserves side in famous finals victories and is conspicuous in his courage and ability to win the ball. With retired brother Andrew, the Edge brothers have been respected leaders of the Club for over a decade.

Barra won the 2008 Div 2 B&F and the 2014 Div 3 B&F, and has worn the Big V on numerous occasions. The Animals consider themselves blessed to have a player of Paul’s caliber and integrity to captain the club.

200

Congratulations to Old Ivanhoe’s RICHARD BUTLER – Richie has been a loyal servant of the Club and has fought his way into the Seniors. After many years in the Reserves, where he was captain last year, he now holds down the position of full-back and is an integral part of the defense. Tall and tenacious, he has risen to the occasion on many games this year to take the honours from some top forwards, and is now a welcome addition to the club`s life members.

Congratulations to University Black’s NICK BATTEN – Coming from a famous Blacks family, Nicholas Batten has forged his own history as a Blacker. Having played in the 2012 and 2014 Senior Premierships, the 2010 Reserves flag and the 2007 Seniors grand final, ‘Ninja’ has been at the forefront of all of the key Blacks moments in recent times. Nick has played almost every position on the field during his time at the Club and is renowned for his fearless attack on the ball.

Congratulations to SKOB’s TOM MARCHESANI – Tom began at SKOB in 2007, playing 32 games in the U19s before progressing to play Reserves/Thirds Football. He was part of the 2010 Thirds Premiership team which he says is one of his best memories. Tom is part of a special SKOB family and joins two of his brothers, Ben and Nick in the 100 Club. After a serious knee injury kept him out of the 2013 season, he is now back playing his best football.

Congratulations to SKOB’s BEN MARCHESANI – Ben is a long time servant of SKOB FC, starting his playing career in 2001. After some years away, he returned and played in the 2009 Thirds Premiership, playing a very important role in the Finals. Many SKOBBER’s will remember his performance. Ben continued playing the next few seasons, taking on a leadership role. In 2014, as Premier B Thirds playing coach, he took the team to the Grand Final.

Congratulations to Yarra Valley’s JACK HALL – ‘Biebs’ arrived during the 2010 season and it didn’t take long for him to become a cult figure with his high flying grabs and bomb goals from outside 50. A fierce competitor on the field, he is also known for his tackles and 1 percenters which are always inspiring his team mates. In 2012 Jack was a key part of the Reserves Premiership where he kicked 2 goals in the victory.

Congratulations to Old Xaverian MICHAEL HENDERSON – After joining the club in 2013 in the U19’s, he was unlucky not to play in a Premiership in his first year.

JUST PLAY IT COOL, BOY At one point on Saturday afternoon, the stars appeared to be aligning for the battle for 4th we’ve all been hoping for – minus of course, St Mary’s Salesian. Prahran Assumption was giving Old Geelong a workout and NOBS/St Pats were pounding St Mary’s Salesian. Such results would have been giving Ormond and Kew plenty to smile about as they both chalked up comfortable wins against Bulleen Templestowe and Old Mentonians respectively. Alas, both NOBS/St Pats and Prahran Assumption faced the incumbent fight back from the two contenders and were felled. NOBS/St Pats has every right to be particularly aggrieved as they led by 32 points at ¾ time. Whilst NOBSPC lamented, St Mary’s Salesian put away their sword, hoisted their flag and crowned themselves the 4th most likely… Or something like that, I can only report what I’m told.

In the Clive Waterhouse MOTR, Old Geelong ripped away Prahran Assumption’s burgeoning finals hopes with a telling third quarter effort. I thought the ground size wouldn’t be too much of an issue, considering that Prahran Assumption play on Toorak Park, a ground that, although not quite the size of the pièce de résistance in Division 1, the Como, is still of a comparable size.

However, Old Geelong proved that their superior fitness and judgment of the ground was too much for Prahran Assumption and a feature of their play that will worry key rivals Ormond and Kew. Prahran Assumption started well, through the sublime speed and skill of James Musster and the attacking prowess Matt Shaw and John Robbins, however Old Geelong were too strong across the ground, with Callum Wood back to his best with 5 and Alex Stewart and Brad Gore irrepressible.

Stewart himself was excellent in McMeel’s absence, booting 3 goals. Old Geelong stretched their margin to 46 points at the final siren, and extinguished the flame of Prahran’s late season charge once and for all.

In the aforementioned rendezvous between St Mary’s Salesian and NOBS/St Pats, you could have put a fork in Sinclair and the boys at half time, so dominant were the Ballarat/Brunswick lads in the first half. They booted 7 goals to 2 in the first and 16

@balmey21 didn’t let up in the 2nd, going into the second half as 39-point leaders. For the St Mary’s faithful, it looked like another instance of the hot and cold season dipping into the arctic. However, to the credit of the Glen Iris lads, they did as they always do and fought back furiously, closing a 32-point orange time margin to dead level with a couple of minutes remaining on the game clock. A flurry of goals, starting with one from Sidney Jones and ending in Gary Puruntatameri’s 4th, saw St Mary’s come out 11 point winners. For the Griffins, Ford and Keown were outstanding with 9 between them, however the difference was SMS’ superior fitness. Brett Gatehouse brilliant off half back and Dykes was instrumental in the middle. The win left Whitefriars still 8 points adrift of St Mary’s in 4th. Seemingly an impossible task now after SMS’ gutsy win.

Ormond chalked up win number 14 in a brutal smashing of the virtually relegated Bulleen Templestowe. It wasn’t a pretty picture for the Bullants, who again relied on Cherbakof (6 goals) and club champion Paul Florance (2 goals) to produce a score. They weren’t disgraced, winning the third term, however Ormond is simply too strong at this point in time. They were sublime in every aspect, with Jeremy Simon kicking 5, Chris Coghlan continuing his fine season and Mal Michael creating a contest. It was a fiery clash between the two clubs, with a few spot fires developing at the end of the first term. In saying that, both sides fought the game out with fierce pride in their teams’ colours, as Ormond came out 85-point winners.

Kew reaffirmed their position as a premiership contender, stamping out the flames of an Old Mentonians boilover within the first 15 minutes as they electrified the ground at Turner Road Reserve.

The return of Andrew Brazzale (7 goals) and Kyle Margaritis helped Kew to regather momentum in the charge for a 3rd straight premiership after two straight losses.

ease in a sensational performance. He was well supported by Brough who was pivotal in the ruck and good ol’ cheeky De Neefe kicking 3. For Old Mentonians, the game drifted from them pretty quickly, stretching out to a 75 point deficit at half time. Darcy Brown was solid in the midfield and Kyle Conlon was strong up forward, kicking 3.

game and STEVE* Donald kicking 2. (*Apologies for calling you Simon.) Can Whitefriars pull off a miracle? They face Prahran Assumption this week in a do-or-die clash.

Whitefriars would be rueing St Mary’s Salesian’s outstanding comeback, as they produced a strong performance to slam the exasperated Yarra Valley boys by 79 points. The youth of the Friars’ side has seen them catapult into 2016 premiership calculations, and despite their horrible midseason form, their resurgence has seen them present their case as a possible 2015 finals participant. Andrew Daou kicked 6 goals in a dominant performance up forward, and he had many buddies across the ground including LS Pepper Medal favourite (I don’t condone betting on the amateurs, but where there is money to be made…) Danny Hogan and Damien Loh. Yarra Valley endured their 15th loss for the year, with Jonathon Trend playing a quality

WILLIE BEE’S CLIVE WATERHOUSE MOTR FOR ROUND 16 Do we even need to discuss this one? Ormond travel to Kew in ‘THE REMATCH’. Clive is pumped, I’m pumped and let’s face it, the whole VAFA community is pumped for this clash. But let’s cool our jets for the moment. The sharks were circling Kew after a couple of ordinary weeks (West Side Story reference intended) until they knocked off Old Mentonians. Ormond is in a very strong position, seemingly stronger than they were when they were convincingly beaten by Kew in Round 10. It should be a good game, but one that will open up more uncertainty into their possible September matchup.

TURTLES KEEP FINALS HOPES ALIVE Last week was most certainly not a round of nail biters, with the narrowest margin being Ivanhoe’s 38-point win over a determined Monash. The margins may have blown-out considerably, but the results didn’t come as a shock. All of the favourites won, and were gifted some handy percentage boosts coming into finals. After a disappointing loss a week prior, that subsequently saw Eltham drop out of the top-four, the Turtles bouncedback with an 87-point win over Richmond Central. The win carried greater significance, with Northern Blues thumping Melbourne High by 73 points at W.R Ruthven Reserve. Both sides face each other this week, in a game that may well and truly cement the top-four. Eltham may be a miserly game behind Northern on the ladder, but the Turtles hold a greater percentage, and a win this week would see them reclaim their spot.

Eltham’s attacking prowess was on show for all to see last week, as the Turtles opened the game with a seven-goal opening term, and stormed home with 12 majors. They boasted eleven individual goal-kickers, with Mizzi bagging six, as Woods slotted four and Shea, Ogilvie and Gill kicked three apiece. Unfortunately for Richmond Central, their form has tapered somewhat as the end of the season has drawn nearer. Snakes’ keyforward Jake Munro made the most of limited opportunities, kicking three, but that was a minor positive on what was a gloomy day. After last week’s win, Eltham is perfectly placed to take on a rampaging Northern Blues this week and simply must win.

Northern Blues verified their 2015 finals credentials with a commanding 73-point win over Melbourne High. Northern, similar to Eltham, again showcased its attacking armoury with a fivegoal opening term and a six-goal crescendo. The Blues recorded an impressive eleven individual goal-kickers, a feat that I’m sure will not be lost on the Turtles’ coaching staff. Melbourne High will be disappointed with their performance, but should 18

take solace in the fact that it’s not the only team to be demolished by the Blues at W.R Ruthven Reserve. “Panda” Hawking was again industrious for the Unicorns as he bagged four, while Steve Villani toiled manfully. The Blues had winners across the board, as McRedmond slotted six, as dynamic, goal-kicking midfielder Damon Marcon kicked three. Marcon was prolific throughout and is working into some serious form. The equation this week for Northern is simple, win and finals are all but sewn-up. Melbourne High’s finals hopes are all but lost, but they’ve made strides this season in comparison to their recent dim years gone by.

The Unicorns have bagged seven wins this year, which could turn to eight this week against cellardwellers South Melbourne.

St John’s will have gained a lot of confidence from their 118-point drubbing of a hapless South Melbourne. The writing was on the wall for the Districts as explosive St Johns’ midfielder Carson Strobel slotted one of his five goals for the day in the opening 20 seconds. Strobel combined perfectly with St Johns’ premier ruckman Dan Cattolico as the pair wreaked havoc, both through the stoppages and around the ground. St John’s by their own admission have failed to hit the heights of its early-season form, but hope that last week’s result will go a long way to resolving that. The JOCs opened the game with seven goals to two in the first, and mirrored that performance in the second. The second-half provided little spectacle, and handed St Johns’ three debutants, some much needed senior experience. The JOCs midfield lifted again post halftime, as wingman Corey Ely dominated with three and inside-mids, Corey Ladson and Anthony Brannan bagged two-apiece. For South Melbourne, it was dreary performance on a gloomy day, which gave their fans little to cheer about. Their effort could not be questioned, but the Districts were clearly out of their depth.

Oval should improve this week as their clash with Melbourne High presents a realistic chance to double South’s win tally for the year. St John’s host a Monash side determined to once again avoid relegation, and should by no means be underestimated.

Monash took it right up to ladder-leaders Ivanhoe in the first-half, but unfortunately couldn’t maintain the rage in the second and eventually succumbed to the Hoes by 38-points. The Gryphons had the better of a tight first quarter, and shocked Ivanhoe to lead by 13 points at the first change. Ivanhoe, somewhat dormant in the first, started to stir in the second but still trailed by three-points at the main change. The joy for the Gryphons quickly turned to agony as Ivanhoe piled on eleven goals to four in the second-half to seal a hard-fought win. Monash was by no means disgraced, and are in reasonable form that should see them avoid relegation. A win against St John’s this week will all but seal their spot in Div 2 for

DIVISION 2

Old Paradians and Elsternwick fought out an intriguing encounter at Garvey Oval that saw the Raiders deliver a barnstorming 12-goal final term to run-out 77-point winners. After a tumultuous week, the Wicks started sluggishly and trailed by 19-points at quarter-time. The Raiders, keen to accost second spot on the ladder were on track for a handy win. The Wicks however had other ideas and clawed their way back in second and third terms. With no more than a goal separating the two at the final change, the game was up for grabs. The Raiders did more than take; they grabbed it and ran for the hills. The Wicks will be disappointed with their last quarter fade out but need to take the positives into this week’s game against Ivanhoe. For Parade, they head to Kevin Bartlett Reserve and simply must win to keep their top-two dreams alive.

DIVISION 3

Gavin Southern

TOP 5 DOMINANCE Some one-sided affairs have hurt the bottom sides and the in form Swinburne side has overtaken UHS-Vu for 5th. It’s been a couple of weeks but my 5/5 tipping was an easy one. Just the three rounds to go. To the games:

EMMAUS ST. LEO’S DEF. LA TROBE UNI This was always going to be a tough day at the office for La Trobe. The Animals controlled the game from start to finish with La Trobe down by 6 goals at quarter time and slowly increased their lead every quarter. La Trobe seemed to get better linking together during the game but they were simply outclassed by the rampaging Animals, going down by 102 points. For the Animals, the forwards were lining up. Ryan Harding (6 goals), Chris Beluszar (5), whilst inspirational Captain Paul Baranello (3 goals) was best on in his 200th game.

Mitchell Pearson seemed to be the lone gun with 4 for La Trobe. Stephen Leitch and Elliott Kelly were the students’ best.

ALBERT PARK DEF. BY SWINBURNE UNI In a tightly contested match for both teams, this was a “must win” for the Albert Park Falcons to retain any hope of playing finals footy. Some inaccurate kicking from both teams saw the 1st quarter evening contested. The 2nd quarter saw the Falcons slam on 4 quick goals with relentless running through the midfield a highlight. Down by as many as 23, Tom Kennedy got Swinny back into the game with 3 goals just before half time.

The third was a seesawing affair , which saw 3 lead changes, and Swinny went into the last up by 4.

BOG Ben Higgins continued his great form in the last, kicking 3 Daicos-like goals for a tally of 5 for the day. The Falcons had no multiple goal scorers, however Justin Mahoney played his best game for the year.

GLEN EIRA DEF. BY WEST BRUNSWICK The Magpies went to Packer Reserve to take on the Saints. The Saints chose their strongest side but they were down three men by quarter time.

West Brunswick had a stranglehold on the contest 20

@gavsouthern all day. A 3 goal third term is the only thing the Saints could hold their hat on as the Magpies again kicked inaccurately with 17-35 (unsure how many were rushed). Such a score line has presented a minor concern for the Magpies as they hope to build toward a second straight elevation. William Dillon and Scott Hulm led the Magpies with 3 goals each and Cormac Cashin was named beston. Todd Richardson being best for the Saints.

HAWTHORN DEF. UHS-VU A very important win for the Hawks at home, sews up a finals birth and leaves the Vultures on shaky ground. It was a tough battle for the contested footy in the 1st quarter and a half before the ‘Derricks’ (Sam Gold, Steve Gunn, Dave Pritchard and Dave Kennedy) started dominating the midfield. Their delivery was outstanding and Jack ‘Sauce’ Ince took full advantage, slotting 6 majors from 12 marks. Devan Healey and Lachlan Chapman were also fantastic all day and helped set up a dominant second half. For the Vultures, Luke Temming (3 goals) and Tom O’Halloran (2) were the only multiple goal kickers, scoured by limited entries. Nick Rowland was the Vultures best.

POWER HOUSE DEF. BY AQUINAS Although only one game clear of potential relegation, Power House is technically in their best form of the year. Despite taking on one of the top 3 in Aquinas, they had nothing to lose. Power House won 2 of the 4 quarters and exposed the Bloods in their own game at times. A match for the marking forwards despite the dewy conditions was the highlight. Power House’s Luke Stubbs was man of the match, booting 5 goals. Best for Aquinas was Phil Jurkovsky. Patrick O’Leary and Jai Perrett led the Bloods with 4 each.

DIVISION 4

William Balme

COLLINS TONS UP AS NORTH BRUNNY FIRM Unfortunately for us, Richard has gone walk about and hasn’t sent in a report so I’m popping in to give you a quick rundown of the weekend’s play. I think everyone is pretty over the winter, but there is a rainbow appearing and finals are on the horizon. It’s an exciting time to be a football follower, particularly when we have a defendercum-forward booting a ton! Big congratulations to Dale Collins who booted 5 against Masala to take him to 102 for the season. He is a huge reason for Westbourne Grammarians’ reemergence as a threat in Division 4 and may be bombing goals in Division 3 next year if they keep their form going. In other games, Mt Lilydale once again proved themselves to be a most inconsistent force, going down to North Brunswick and leaving 6th spot a vulnerable proposition.

Masala copped an absolute shellacking at the hands of Westbourne Grammarians, going down by 152 points. From the outset, it was all the Warriors, and the story was all about Dale Collins. The Warriors didn’t search for him as hard as they did the week before, which allowed them to show why their game is just about the best in the competition on their day. Ali Eqbal was the premier forward of the day, kicking 4 and dominating his smaller opponents. Collins, despite kicking 5, was almost somewhat of a decoy forward. Alright, he was pretty solid, but such was the completeness of the performance, they didn’t have to rely too much on the big man. He was well supported by Sneddon and Muhar, who kicked 3 each. For Masala, former Kew Bear Stephen Daw was tough in the clinches and young gun Jordan Toikalkin tried hard.

Canterbury matched (and then bettered) Westbourne’s dominance with a 162-point win over Chadstone, to continue their perfect season. The Gates boys were simply supreme, Richard the big utility and David in the midfield, 22

www.vafa.com.au

@balmey21 and the goals leaked all day. Lowden kicked 9, Szabo kicked 5 and head honcho Wilson kicked 3. As harsh as it is on the hapless Chadstone, Canterbury treated the game like they were training on a Saturday during bye week. Jake Farrugia kicked 2, and his brother Luke tried hard, but the game was finished within the first 15 minutes. Canterbury hits the last two games, with one in the book (South Mornington) and their epic clash in Round 18 against the Warriors. It appears a tasty, tasty morsel to take us into finals footy.

Box Hill North held strong against Manningham, who kept coming until Box Hill North sealed it late to get up by 7 points. Although Manningham’s season was already basically over prior to the match, they played with the ferocity of a side fighting for 6th spot. Kris Johnson, who had an interrupted start to the season, continued his fine form, kicking 2 and proving the difference in the contest. His class rose to the top, bringing players like Matthews and Templeton into the game. Box Hill North stay 4 points atop North Brunswick, but they hold important percentage points in their battle to avoid clashing with the top 2 in the first week.

Manningham, with Stephen Rose kicking 4 goals, has had an unfortunate year with the loss of a club legend, players on extended breaks and injuries. They’ll clean up their scraps and come again in 2016.

Mt Lilydale fell over in the second half against the crusading North Brunswick Bulls, missing a golden opportunity to push 4th position.

Instead, they now sit on the brink of missing the finals after a magnificent midseason rush up the ladder. ‘The dream appears to be over; the writing is on the wall; something needs to change!’ These must just be a few of the thoughts rushing through the head of the DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD Box Hill North v Masala Parkside v Mt Lilydale Point Cook v North Brunswick South Mornington, Westbourne Grammarians, Manningham, Canterbury and Chadstone - Bye

coaching staff down at Mercy College. Benjamin Gallagher kicked 5 goals for the victors, with Tsiaras and Dimarco having excellent afternoons on the boggy oval. For Mt Lilydale, Tom Bailey was strong over the ball, but their ball use was underpar. They need to reassess, particularly with their last two games at Parkside and Point Cook. North Brunswick has two tough games to come against Point Cook and Old Westbourne, but the dream is alive and I expect them to play finals.

Parkside made light work of the riled South Mornington side, claiming an easy victory to the tune of 74 points. South Mornington’s miserable run since they beat Swinburne in the 2012 Division 4 Grand Final continues, and their effort against Parkside illustrates a serious lack of depth. Whilst they took the 3rd quarter, they didn’t raise much more than a whimper for the rest of the game. Shane Potter kicked 5, with Parsons and McLaren kicking 4 each for Parkside,

Willie Bee’s Clive Waterhouse MOTR for Round 16 I’ve brought this segment to Division 1, Premier B and now Division 4. Clive’s got a monopoly on the VAFA. What a life he leads. Anyway, Point Cook welcome the rejuvenated North Brunswick to their happy home in a cracking match up.

Although North Brunswick has re-emerged as a top 4 chance, I expect Point Cook to be too strong and continue to stay with the top 2.

Point Cook by 16 points.

as McLaren firmed as a chance for the League Best and Fairest. South Mornington had few winners all day, however Jack Tunks was one of them, persisting with the contest until the final siren. They had a good spread of goalkickers, but they simply couldn’t kick enough of them and fell down across half forward. Parkside is back in the finals hunt, and could steal 6th spot and a lucky chance against Canterbury… not ideal.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 MITCH HANNAN – ST BERNARD’S Congratulations to Mitch Hannan of St Bernard’s who is nominated as this week’s Rising Star. Mitch arrived at St Bernard’s in 2012 thanks to Peter Wood who brought him to the club to play Under 19 Premier football. After a promising end to his 2014 season, Mitch was offered a pre-season with Footscray VFL. Mitch threw himself into this challenge and was rewarded by being offered a spot on Footscray’s 2015 VFL list.

Unfortunately for Mitch, he broke his wrist in a VFL practice match, meaning Mitch did not play his first game in 2015 until June. Since his return from injury, Mitch has become a rebounding half back, wingman who has progressed to being part of the senior midfield rotation at St Bernard’s. Mitch’s leg speed has seen many rebound attacks from St Bernard’s defensive 50 in his 4 games for the club this year. Known around the club as ‘Fyffe’ for his similar ability to Nat, often breaking packs and taking the occasional hanger.

St Bernard’s recap of Mitch: Mitch came to St Bernard’s seeking to play football at as high a level as possible. At 6’2” and with his athletic abilities and silky skills, we believe Mitch can develop into an elite A grade footballer who may progress to regular VFL football and, who knows maybe even higher.

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 In Division 3 the top three teams, St Johns, La Trobe Uni and Elsternwick seemed certain of finals’ qualification but the fourth position, well, that was anybody’s with no less 5 teams in the running. After this round it was even tighter as there were now 6 teams all on 32 points (8 wins).

Power House helped to even up this group when they held on to defeat Albert Park 8.12 to 8.5 in an exciting game with goals at an absolute premium, although when Albert Park kicked 7 in the second term, they looked certainties to come out on top.

As it happened they could not score another major in fact there was only 1 goal scored by either team in the second half. Best – Fiorini, Saraw Burnside, Leske, Foster, Baker (PH) and McLennan, Maunder, Lanigan King (3), Hagan (AP).

In Division 4, second placed Monash Gryphons added to their percentage with a big win over Swinburne Uni 25.13 to 5.7, putting Swinburne’s faint hopes of finals action completely out of the question. The Gryphons remained in second place but were ahead of top team Mount Lilydale on percentage although a game behind! The next round would probably decide top spot when the Gryphons and Mt Lilydale were due to meet. Best – Allan (7), Fletcher, Munro, Nuguid, Wells (4), Wills (Gryphons); Swinburne failed to name any best players!

In U19 Premier Division two VAFA powerhouse clubs, De La Salle and Old Xaverians met in an important game with De La, the top team clear on top, favoured to take the points. The Xavs however were in third place and, determined to secure their place for the coming finals, threw down the challenge to the D’s. De La kicked poorly (1.5) in the first quarter while Xavs scored 4.1 and the Xavs led at half time 6.2 to 3.7. De La made up a little of the leeway in the third term but were still struggling in front of goal, 5.11 to 7.7. In a cracking last quarter, De La really hit their straps kicking 6.5 to run our relatively easy winners 11.16 to 10.8. Best – Humphrey, O’Halloran, Clinch, Close, Papamilitiades, Williams (DLS) and Bisset, Curtain, McGrath, Pintal, McLean, Franklyn (Old Xavs).

Anthony Calder (Old Brighton) was the Club Warehouse Rising Star in this round and the VAFA Beiersdorf Trainer of the Week award went to Jane Barnes (Ormond).

42

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 In D2 Section, top team Old Geelong trounced Oakleigh 26.18 to 7.5 and may have put paid to Oakleigh’s chances of finals’ participation.

The OGS certainly looked as though they were gearing up for a big finals’ campaign. They set the mood for this game with 10.5 to 2.0 in the first quarter. Best – Stevens (6), Casboult (10), Bayles, Goldsworthy, Cannon, Makin (OGS) and C Collins, C Lamb, S Kitts, Rutter, Murray, Bando (Oakleigh).

In D3 Section UHS-VU not only provided the upset of the round against top four team West Brunswick but also cleared them from the danger of relegation. The scores were close the whole game with the ‘students’ winning 9.14 to 8.8. Best – Gorringe, Hams, Mottram, Cracknell, Greed, Moorfield (UHS-VU) and Irving, Gartland, Anderson, Smythe (3), Monague, Maguire (WB).

In D4 Section Albert Park made sure of their opportunity over bottom placed Richmond Central winning 25.11 to 16.7 and in doing so, removed themselves from the immediate threat of relegation. Albert Park’s first quarter set the standard (6.2 to 1.0) although Richmond did kick 6 in the second term. 18 goals in the second half was a very strong effort by the boys from around the lake. Best – Collins (9), Baker (3), Grace, Venables, Chambers, Bennett (AP) and Robertson (5), Evans, Dukic (5), Liuzzi, Speakman, Green (Richmond).

Eltham Collegians congratulated Brendan ‘Kanga’ Evans on reaching his 150th game milestone.

‘Kanga’ had been with the club for over a decade and was part of their 1993 Club XVlll premiership, was a dedicated committee member and had been awarded life membership of the club. ‘Kanga’ was also making the commitment to journey from Kinglake West to both play and train!

In Club18 Section 1, Old Xaverians won the 2nd semi final in a low scoring game, 6.10 to 3.8.

Prahran defeated Old Scotch comfortably in the 1st semi final, 15.11 to 4.7 and appeared the team most likely to be able to challenge the might of the Xavs at this level.

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 Ivanhoe met St Bedes Mentone Tigers in C Section and made sure of retaining their top position although the ‘Hoes did not have it all their own way and were behind at half time. With their defence gradually getting on top, Ivanhoe won the game 9.7 to 7.5. Best – Tucker, Manuel (3), T Flynn (4), Scoble, Kennedy, Lee (Ivanhoe) and Thompson, McCraw, Newport, Diggins, Johnston, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Bilos (StBMT).

In Section D, the two top teams, Hampton Rovers and Thomastown, met on a very windy afternoon, the wind certainly played a part in the variable skills. The Rovers led at half time and increased the lead by three quarter time. Although Thomastown had a number of opportunities in the final quarter, their wayward kicking for goal did not back up their scoring attempts, the Rovers winning 15.8 to 11.16. Best – Amoore, Marshall, McDonald, Helliger, Melnjak, Le Grand (HR) and Plant, Fellows, Smith, Farchione, Harling, Alberti (Thom.).

In the “Tap Outs” column written each week by “The Rover”, congratulations were given to Brian “Benny” Goodman, one of the Association’s leading umpires, upon the safe arrival of a daughter, Alyssa Maree. Clearly Benny’s wife Wendy would have played the major part! It’s pleasing to report that Alyssa now regularly plays an key role at VAFA finals, with her mum Wendy, as our most experienced gate keepers. Alyssa was certainly born into the VAFA!

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 In E Section, the match of the day was between top team Preston and Peninsula Old Boys (4th).

Preston were safe but Peninsula needed to win to shore up their position. Preston started strongly and led by a couple of goals at quarter time but Peninsula had taken the lead by half time. Preston were back in front at the last change but the importance of a win appeared to mean more to Peninsula who got over the line by 3 points, 12.9 to 11.12 and were now safe in the top four. Best – Carter, Glover, Sampson, McLounnan, McViger, Knight (Peninsula) and Calcutt, Yendall, Caton, Faure, Milner (3), McGowan.

Steve (Stork) Roberts played his 300th game for State Bank a few weeks earlier but in this round played his 302nd game breaking Byron Hill’s record which had stood since 1969. “Stork” joined the club in 1968 and along the way won the best and fairest in 1973 and 1976. He had also won the best clubman award in 1979, was awarded life membership in 1976, elected Vice President in 1984 and had been Club Secretary from 1975 until 1979.

Dennis Grace played his 150th game for Elsternwick and had previously played A Grade football with both Coburg and De La Salle. A pacy and skilful rover, Dennis had been a terrific player for Elsternwick and later went on to a coaching career.

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 Leaders in A Section, St Bernards Old Collegians were rocked when 5th placed Coburg, 34 points down at three quarter time, kicked 6.7 to 1.1 and won by 2 points. Best – Calleson, Leckie, Ellis (Coburg) and M Mahoney, Phelan, Mitchell (St Bernards).

Parkside secured their position in the C Section top four with a convincing 34 point win over Old Melburnians. Best – Howell, Cocks, Blyth, Quoiffe (Parkside) and Pisarski, McMullin, P Dawson (OM’s).

150 games for MHSOB player Warwick Ponton, Old Geelong ruckman Richard Weibye and Old Melburnians rover Russell Weir.

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 Coburg won a very important game in A Section over Collegians on a day of very low scoring for some teams. Final score – 3.8 to 2.7. Coburg held their fourth place ahead of Old Xaverians who were challenging strongly and won their game against Old Paradians 15.14 to 6.3. Best for Coburg - Scanlon (3), Corrigan, McLean, Molloy, Condron, Gardiner and for Collegians – D Walduck, C Roach, Tucker, Symons, Lucas, Clark.

Well-known VAFA identity and a current VAFA Vice President, Harry Heathershaw had been the foundation coach of Commonwealth Bank when they commenced in 1919. Commonwealth Bank first played in the Victorian Banks Football Association but that competition was disbanded in 1931. Commonwealth Bank reformed in 1947 and joined the VAFA and in that season won the C Grade premiership.

60 YEARS AGO - 1955 The B Section final four was already settled but who would stop Coburg, undefeated after 17 games and four games clear of second place.

Fifth side, Old Xaverians had made no impact on Coburg although the final score of 11.19 to 7.10 in Coburg’s favour was not too bad from the Xavs point of view.

The tribunal were determined to support the umpires when they suspended a Bellfield player for 6 games after finding the player guilty of using ‘filthy’ language toward the central umpire. They also handed out a four week sentence to another player for constantly disputing and umpire’s decision.

I GUESS THAT’S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES Round 15 proved little more than a formality as all results went according to ladder position except for one little surprise packet down at Albert Park. Old Melburnians continue to turn expectation on its head as it overcame a 7 point three quarter time deficit to beat University Blues by a solitary point and rule one half of the Melbourne University boys out of contention for finals footy.

Uni Blues would be shaking their heads at their first half effort in front of goals where they could only manage 3 goals from 13 scoring shots, leaving them two points in arrears to the 5.0.30 OMs. From that point on the Blues did not miss a shot, but they could not halt the tide of momentum that was the OMs resurgence. With the one point win in the bag, the OMs found land from the potential relegation zone and ruined the Blues’ season in the meantime. Thomas Fuller was brilliant, booting 4 in a Best on Ground performance and Alex Mcfarlane also performed strongly for the OMs. For the Blues, Darcy Cordell was excellent but the result is a dagger through the heart of their flailing season.

St Kevins blazed away the hapless University Blacks by 95 points at Crawford Oval to signal their intentions. The SKOB lads were far too good on the day with bags to Wallis (6), Bonacci (4) and 3 each to Ostrowsky and Kennedy illustrating their complete dominance in the forward half. St Kevins remain four points off the pace and in a reasonable position to have a crack at a Grand Final playoff but will have to continue to build their momentum considering their heavy defeat at the hands of the Old Xaverians a few weeks ago. With players like Bonacci and De Biase plying their trade, they are capable of matching it with the best on their day.

Speaking of the Old Xaverians, they produced another strong display to dismantle Old Scotch by 10 goals at Camberwell Sports Ground. Not 44

for the first time this weekend, the game puttered through with most of the crowd knowing full well from early on in the game that this was an academic result. Charlie Kennedy snagged 5 whilst Tommy Amad was strong in the middle.

Old Scotch had no answers for the slick ball movement, however Daggian snagged two and McDougall was a key in their minor fight back in the third term.

The terrible season just won’t end for Old Trinity, who slumped to their 14th straight loss against the rampaging St Bernards. The Snowdogs were ferocious in their attack on the footy, scuttling the brave first quarter effort from Old Trinity, and reducing them to mere obstacles in the second half. The first quarter was very encouraging from the OTs but the game whittled into a non-contest when Bernies kicked 5 goals to 1 point in the third term. Old Trinity could only manage one more goal for the game after their 5 goal first term. Timothy Hall booted 3 for the OTs in a brave effort, but it was the blistering trio of Madden, Kennedy and Vague who were too much for the OTs to handle.

De La Salle’s finals hopes were blown out of the water by a determined Beaumaris effort.

Beaumaris’ season has come alive in the past few weeks with some great victories against St Kevins and De La Salle (twice) in recent fixtures. Although their senior side looks destined to be playing in Premier B next season, the future looks bright for the youth, as shown by a 3 goal effort from Max Williams and a great performance from Julian Lam. De La’s season is at crossroads, as their finals prospects appear dim. William Mackie was their best.

SECTION TWO Old Brighton came out on top in the Match of the Round against ladder leaders Parkdale on Saturday. As expected the match was a hot contest in the first half, with both teams displaying an appetite for the contest befitting of a final. The teams couldn’t be separated on the scoreboard at halftime. After the main break, everything clicked for the Tonners. A ten goal to two second half blew the game open and Parkdale was left to lick their wounds and re-group for next week.

For Old Brighton, they dealt a serious blow and will be relishing the fact that they have drawn blood against a Parkdale squad they are likely to meet again in September. For the winners, George Yeoman was influential, booting four goals, whilst Edward Tait was everywhere and was best afield.

SECTION THREE Ormond stunned ladder leaders Old Geelong on Saturday morning at E.E Gunn Reserve. Needing to win to keep their top four ambitions alive the Monders came flying out of the blocks and never looked back, kicking eight goals to none in the first half. Old Geelong managed to stem some of the bleeding in the second half but the damage had already been done on the back of a best on ground performance by Matthew Hirschman and three goals to William Robertshaw. As the season draws closer to finals, next week is shaping as a pivotal round in the season as Old Geelong take on third placed Old Carey in what could ultimately decide the minor premiership.

Elsewhere around the division, Hampton Rovers outclassed Old Xaverians by 80 points, Old Carey got back on the winners list by defeating St Bernards by 54 points, and Williamstown CYMS continued their march towards finals with a 151-point belting of Old Camberwell.

Other results in Section Two saw Fitzroy demolish Old Ivanhoe by 112 points, a determined Marcellin squad overcame an in-form Whitefriars squad by 13 points, and Mazenod were too good for Collegians running out 30-point winners.

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

suburbs Greg was calmly getting ready when he discovered he’d left some pretty critical equipment at home.

We’re on the home stretch now, with every week counting towards our final destination. There’s big games throughout the competition, 5 v 9 can be more important than 1 v 2.

ABOVE AND BEYOND? Gavin De Krester has come to umpiring this year, and has moved through the grades quite quickly.

Gavin has been involved in Amateur football for quite some time but was absolutely blown away by the spread put on by Old Brighton at their after match. Lasagne, roast beef, salads, cakes, scones, and just about anything else you could think of.

There were volunteers serving and a couple more cleaning up. All of this was at no charge, and for all in attendance, players or both teams, umpires, coaches, the lot.

Old Brighton’s reasoning for all this is that they want to create a place where people want to be.

Then if they like the way the after match runs, they might come to a few functions and that’s where they can make their money.

Gavin has also been really impressed by Jacko’s cordial out at Monash Blues!

Would love to hear of any other clubs that go above and beyond in making our days memorable and we’ll give them a plug here.

ALWAYS PAYS TO TRIPLE CHECK YOUR GEAR Getting ready for a game is something that we do every week, and you’d think that we could almost do it in our sleep. Given Matt Oakley’s forgetting the bag incident earlier this season, you’d think that all umpires would check triple check their gear before they leave home.

Unfortunately The Prez, Greg Rolfe, got a little complacent before his game at Mazenod. After travelling to Glen Waverley from the southern 52

Forgetting your whistle is bad, but your partner generally has a couple of spares and a quick rinse in boiling water does the trick. It’s a little hard to find a replacement when your forgotten equipment is your shoes. It appears that not all super heroes wear capes, as boundary umpires coach Gavin Boyd was running the same game and happened to live 10 minutes from the ground. A quick trip home and then he was back, and Rolfey was able to run the game, without looking like Zola Bud (Younger umpires may need to look that one up).

I’M GOING WHERE? Late changes can happen with appointments, someone could be sick, the coaches want a different pairing, the realisation that someone has had the same team a couple of weeks in a row are just a few of the reasons that your appointment may change at the last minute.

Anthony Edmonds though, had more than his fair share of changes at the weekend. Originally scheduled for a 3 umpire game for the match of the day St Bernards v Old Xaverians, on Thursday, that appointment changed to the Beaumaris v Old Scotch game. No problems there, plenty of time to prepare match plans etc. until the email on Friday that changed the appointment again to Collegians v Uni Blues.

We’re pretty certain that Edo went to the right game, but you’d be forgiven for calling teams by the wrong names.

UNUSUAL HALF TIME SNACKS Half time is that moment when we get a chance to recuperate and prepare for the second half. It always involves re-hydration and frequently a bit of hollow sugar in the form of lollies. When the bag of snakes came out at Old Ivanhoe on the weekend there was considerable shock when Joe Dorat Thorpe politely passed. Not because of any medical reasons, but because he was eating a tin of tuna. This may be the source of Joe’s cat like reflexes, but it sure made the umpires room stink!

Andrew Hartnett.

TOP FOUR ALL WINNERS The four teams at the top of the ladder sent a resounding message to the rest of the Colts competition with all four recording comfortable victories last weekend. In the closest game of the round, Ivanhoe withstood Parkside’s final quarter comeback to win by 13 points. Samuel Aanensen was again in the goals with three majors while Patrick Legreca was named best on for his two goals and influence around the ground.

La Trobe recorded the biggest win of the round with a 91 point thumping of Williamstown, who didn’t kick a goal till the final quarter. Liam Guy had a stand out game for La Trobe with five goals, while Williamstown’s only goal kicker was Jacob Splatt.

St Bernards consolidated second spot with a 58 point victory over Uni Blues. St Bernards led from start to finish and Uni Blues didn’t register a goal until well into the third quarter. St Bernards shared the load with nine different goal kickers from their 11 goals with Nathaniel Doody a unanimous best on ground selection.

The final game saw UHS-VU Flemington too strong for Old Paradians by 40 points with Spencer Craggill-Haren best on with four goals.

BEAUMARIS KEEPS SLIM FINALS HOPES ALIVE Beaumaris has remained within touching distance of the ‘four’ with a hard fought win over Monash Blues. Needing to win all remaining games to keep the dream alive, Beaumaris jumped out of the blocks with five unanswered goals in the first quarter. The trend continued in the second quarter as Monash did not score a major until after half time. Monash rallied in the last but the 11 goal three quarter time margin was too much, with Beaumaris victors by 33 points.

Northern Blues put 24 goals past Melbourne High in their 82 point victory. Damien DelleVergini got back on the scoreboard this week with six majors as well as Samual Fleming who kicked five. It was an improved showing by Melbourne High who still remain winless, with William Penhalluriack having a terrific game.

Haileyburians

completely

dominated

Parkdale in their clash at Gerry Green Reserve.

The win gives Haileyburians the ascendency over Parkdale at the bottom end of the table.

Ben Oakes kicked seven and Mitchell Sturgess with four in the 69 point win.

In the remaining games, St Kevins were too strong for De La with Lachlan Wray booting six goals, Peninsula remained unbeaten with a win over Oakleigh and Mazenod firmed up second spot by beating Therry Penola by 65 with Dylan Spooner kicking eight goals.

LA TROBE COME FROM BEHIND TO DEFEAT HAWTHORN. CROCODILES TIE WITH CARDINALS IN A THRILLER. SECTION 1 Two of the three games were thrillers. Old Xaverians started well against Richmond Central and held an eleven-point lead at the first change.

The “Cardinals” then came back strongly in the second quarter and held an eleven point lead at half time. The “Crocodiles”, who worked hard in the third quarter, trailed by just two points at the final change. Richmond Central had more of the play in the last quarter but their inaccuracy allowed the Old Xaverians to level the scores. The two points gained by the “Cardinals” insured that they gained the right to host today’s First Semi Final.

On the big La Trobe University Oval, the home side, came from behind to defeat second placed, Hawthorn by eight points. La Trobe trailed for the first three quarters before a four goal to one last quarter propelled them into the lead by the final siren. The last quarter fade out on the big ground must cause concern in the Hawthorn camp because finals are played on bigger grounds than their base at Rathmines Reserve Prahran/ Assumption finished their season with a forty five point victory over North Old Boy’s/ St Patricks on Como Park.

Old Geelong forfeited to Ivanhoe.

SECTION 2 Undefeated leaders, St Francis Xavier easily accounted for second placed Albert Park, whom they play again today in the Second Semi Final.

St Francis won by one hundred and twenty three points, which makes them even firmer favourites to become Champions of this Section. Twelve players shared the St Francis goals with Dwayne Scott kicking five.

Twelve players shared the twenty goals kicked

by Melbourne High School Old Boys when they defeated Westbourne Grammarians by one hundred points. Among the best players were both Shaun and Shannon Holmes. Perhaps Sherlock is waiting to make his debut in the First Final. Now that’s a true mystery.

58

After an evenly contested opening quarter, the greater skill level of the Ormond players saw them draw away from West Brunswick and build their lead to sixty-three points by the final siren.

Best for Ormond were: Leon Calvert, Scott Walker and Mike Westoby. For West Brunswick, the best were; Thomas Pollock, Mark Dishon and Samuel O’Connor.

Kew had a percentage building game against University High School/ V.U., who trailed throughout the game. Only a fourth quarter rally saved the University High School team from a defeat bigger than one hundred and one points.

Emmett O’Donnell kicked 4 for the Bears.

SEMI FINALS PREVIEW. SECTION 1 Second Semi Final.

Each of today’s teams, Old Xaverians and Hawthorn come to this game after performances well below their best. Each has achieved a home victory over the other this season. Old Xaverians won by thirty points in Round 2 and Hawthorn won by thirtyeight points in Round 13.

Sports Cover Arena has not been a happy hunting ground for “The Spartans” whereas for Old Xaverians it is virtually a home away from home.

Each team has a versatile and effective forward line as shown by their 2015 records. Neither defence has faced a dominant opposition, and the backline which holds up better today could provide the key to the outcome. The Xaverians have the better 2015 record and they are experienced campaigners at VAFA HQ, so I tip them to win once again.

First Semi Final.

Richmond Central and La Trobe enter this morning’s match, with a home win against the other this season. La Trobe was devastating in their ninety-five point win under lights in Round 6 and Richmond Central finished twenty points THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

ahead in Round 13. La Trobe form has tapered off since earlier in the season because of injury and the ever-present University football burden of examinations and vacations (not to mention the odd music festival). Richmond Central defenders must stop Eamon Stringer and Dale Sidebottom from kicking multiple goals, which happened in Round 6. Richmond Central have shown the better recent form and by playing on the Bartlett Reserve, their confidence will be high. The Cardinals are my selection.

SECTION 2 Second Semi Final Undefeated, St Francis Xavier, aided by home ground advantage and the confidence engendered by three wins over Albert Park during the season will start overwhelming favourites to win this match. Their versatile and multi pronged forward line should again kick St Francis to victory.

Despite the success achieved by Albert Park in their first season, I do not believe they possess the required talent to win this game.

First Semi Final.

For the second successive season, Kew and Melbourne High School Old Boys will contest this match. At Kew in Round 6, “The Unicorns” faded in the second half and went down by fifty-one points.

At Forest Hill in Round 12 in a low scoring match, Melbourne High triumphed by twenty points.

Kew aided by home ground advantage must be considered favourites to win, although only percentage has separated the teams on the ladder.

Kew is my selection.
