AGE OLD QUESTION? Three weeks ago, I shared the competitive balances, which were very favourable for the VAFA compared to the other metro senior leagues. The ladders in all our senior competitions make for very good reading however it is in the Thirds, Club XVIII and some of our junior competitions that are areas requiring consideration.

Clubs require the transition from Under 19’s to the senior sections as smooth and less intrusive as possible. One of the major reasons the Thirds competition was established was to give these players a respected grade that they could play in without being directed to the Club XVIII. The Club XVIII competition was mostly established to cater for the more social footballer who didn’t have the time or the inclination to compete in the rigours of the senior sections.

Most clubs have embraced this concept and should be congratulated on endeavouring to expand their playing list to provide opportunities for young players left out of the reserves. This has seen the number of teams in the competition increase by approximately 20 teams providing another 600 players with a game of amateur football.

However it hasn’t been all plain sailing for clubs, with many experiencing difficulties in maintaining their numbers during the tough months of July when injury, uni holidays and even the winter blues take hold. As a result we have experienced a number of forfeits in both the Thirds and U19 competitions.

This issue is complex and what suits one club doesn’t fit the requirements of others. What most would agree on is that we need a strong under age competition to bring in new players from either their junior club or school team. We need an additional competition to our reserves to aid in the transition from juniors to seniors players. And we require a separate competition where those who are unable to commit full time to the game can enjoy the social aspect of participating with

their mates in a serious match.

Twenty years ago when the VAFA changed the age of the U19’s to allow an extra six months, which increased the number of eligible players. This had the dual effect of easing the strain on clubs, decreasing forfeits, whilst providing school leavers with at least two years of under-age football before they embark on the seniors. At the moment more than half of the players can only play one year after leaving school.

Could it now be time to consider adding another six months to the eligibility and changing to an Under 20 competition to allow for a more viable and sustainable competition? Changing to an U20 competition would also allow a clear delineation for our Under 18’s. This U18 competition could provide to our community clubs a better transition from the junior club to the senior club.

Then we turn to the next phase of a player’s development and that of the transition to the seniors. Rather than looking at the issue in relation to the Thirds we could go the other way and solve it through the Club XVIII. As this is seen as an older competition with players unable to make the time commitment due to work, why not have this as an over age competition, say over 25’s? This would provide a clear distinction from the Thirds where the true spirit of Club XVIII can be recognised. The Thirds competition would not be restricted by age and would still provide a pathway to reserve and senior teams.

Since the introduction of the Thirds, there is a false perception that the Club XVIII is a burden on the VAFA. This is simply not true and if you come to the Club XVIII Grand Finals next Sunday you will see the joy of winning a premiership has on all the players and their family and friends. It is a great competition that needs to find its own niche in the total structure of the VAFA. Possibly an over 25’s is the perfect fit.

Not too old that it is Masters’ competition and not too young that it compromises the playing stocks of the senior teams.

The VAFA’s aim is to continually adapt to our changing environments and assist all of our clubs to ensure theirs and the games long-term viability is sustainable and indeed flourishing.

WRITING ON THE WALL Sometimes in a game, the writing is on the wall of where a match might be headed. With tram works on Chapel St ruining every southbound rout I abandoned my trip to the seaside and headed East along High St to take in De La Salle hosting Old Xavierians. Wind certainly favoured the visitors and whilst they were profligate with their chances, a Goss goal after the siren gave them a resounding 39 point lead at quarter time. It wasn’t so much the lead that was the issue as the fact De La Salle hadn’t scored. Even with the breeze is was De La who wasted their chances in the second to be just 7 behinds at the main break. Waiting in a longish queue for a couple of dim sims and a drink allowed me to watch the first five minutes of the second half, but by this stage I had seen enough. Xavs looked home and De La looked like they had already been relegated. What transpired from there is anyone’s guess but the measured voice of Paul Satterly obviously was having an impact on the De La group. It was a slow response at first but in a matter of a mad last 15 minutes De La roared home, although 35-minute final quarter wasn’t enough. The momentum gained should be carried into this week in what is the biggest game the club has been in since the 2012 Preliminary Final.

De La Salle’s shortcomings – pun intended – have been well documented over the past few seasons, however when even your best small players are struggling to get on the park each week, it makes it a tough season. Listening to Paul Satterly at the breaks is fascinating; you can see why the players are responding. Whilst De La might not have the cattle this year, regardless of where they end up in 2015, they must prioritise retaining their coach. Xavs looked destined for a comfortable win before a rather uncomfortable last 15 minutes. De La’s first goal of the game four minutes into the second half didn’t exactly get the ball rolling. Despite an improved showing in the third, outscoring Old Xavs 29-22, the game seemed done when Goss kicked his third goal four minutes into the last. Then out of nowhere, the home side kicked five goals in six minutes to reduce the gap to seven points. Tom Humphrey 2

again made calls to air traffic control to take another screamer, but his long range effort was rushed through for a behind. Haley had a difficult chance to level the scores from the boundary but missed the lot and that was all she wrote.

It is always unfortunate when two teams on losing streaks meet, as one will more than likely watch their streak continue. So it was for Old Trinity who racked up a fifth straight loss. Beaumaris on the other hand broke their seven match streak without singing the song when they eventually triumphed by 17 points. Steve Lawrence was effusive in his pre-game comments about how good the spirit had been at the Aquarium. A six goal to none third quarter had the Sharks up and about. The match was beholden by the conditions, Beaumaris were able to do as the T’s couldn’t. They kicked goals into the breeze in the last to sap the morale of the visitors. It was great to see Rob Cathcart back amongst the best and eight goals between Jack Grange (5) and Manson (3), again illustrated the lack of a key forward for the T’s, Iezzi their main contributor with three.

An improved start from St Bedes/Mentone Tigers had them trailing by just a point at the first change at Uni Blacks. Then Blacks piled on seven unanswered goals in the second to create a game winning buffer. The Tigers were certainly not disgraced as they had been a week prior but this match still demonstrated the uphill battle they face if they are to avoid an almost certain relegation. Harrie Lahy and Alastair Robbins both kicked 5 goals each, career best hauls at Blacks.

Michael Barnes was the Tigers best and he kicked three goals from his wing.

Old Brighton missed an opportunity to all but seal the fate of the teams below them as they fell agonisingly 9 points short of Old Scotch at the Beach Oval. Both sides were wasteful with their use of the breeze and despite clear instructions PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 51/68%) De La Salle v Old Brighton Collegians v Beaumaris Old Scotch v St Bernard’s Old Trinity v University Blacks Old Xaverians v St Bedes/Mentone Tigers

from the coaches of both sides, the game was in large parts played on the defensive side of the ground. Old Brighton did a fantastic job of thwarting another Old Scotch hot start and so the first half proved to be an arm wrestle. Five points separated the sides at the main break and the Cardinals won the match with a premiership quarter that netted them 4.5. Whist Old Brighton came hard in the last, a Matt Seed goal with a minute to play gave Old Scotch the buffer they needed. Routman played one of his best games for the Cardinals and Eva’s stellar form continued.

St Bernard’s have not been as ruthless as you might expect for a team that sits second with a percentage of 136. At the Snakepit in particular, so often the game has been done at quarter time, with St Bernard’s holding Collegians goalless in the first term whilst taking a five goal advantage into the first break. However, it seems these five goal leads are all that is required. The

Games don’t get much bigger than De La Salle and Old Brighton. Should the home side lose, they will likely return to Premier B for the first time in 10 years. A loss to the Tonners makes the last two rounds very very interesting. All eyes on the Dairy Bell.

Bernies happy to trade blows for the ensuing three quarters. So it proved again, their 28 point lead at the first change was 32 by the final siren.

The time in between saw the margin extend for brief periods and a mini Collegians comeback at the start of the last had the gap down to a few kicks, but in reality the home side were always in control. Tom Gleeson took forward line honours this week with four whilst Chad Jones (3) closed to within six goals of Premier’s leading goalkicker Matt Handley. A couple of goals to Shura Taft has him in second just three from Handley.

BACKS TO WALL JACKAS AJAX travelled to Old Carey with their backs up against the wall. One of the three teams in the chase for fourth at the round’s commencement; AJAX had fixtures against the Panthers followed

by Blues consecutive weeks made their finals chances appear slim. However, the Jackas arrived with class, playing a truly gutsy game from start to finish that saw them come out deserved winners. Stellar games from Josh Ludski and Ruben Winograd, as well as three quality goals from Jake Lew when the game was in the balance proved the difference.

Old Melburnians ravaged Caulfield Grammarians, kicking 13 goals to one in the first three quarters of football, before taking their foot off the pedal in the last term and conceding three junk time goals that flattered the away side. Lewis Haralambous and Robert Hayward were best, alongside Al Armstrong and Lachy Bennet, who nabbed three majors each. The Dark Blues move to third place on the back of this performance, thanks to a healthy percentage. The OM’s certainly have an ability to turn it on and they could be the X-factor at the completion of round 18.

Mazenod suffered a levelling loss to Old Haileybury at Princes Park. After a quality third stanza saw the Nodders close a five goal half time deficit and lead by one point at the final break, Haileybury won the ultimate shootout.

The home side managed to convert six of their 14 scoring shots, out kicking Mazenod by 21 points to come away 20 point winners. The Nodders finals chances take a dent after this loss, one they’d have pencil in as a win pre-game.

Peter Gleadhill, Hamish McLauchlan and Josh Dawson all mighty in the Haileybury win that leaves them still needing to win the final two matches to escape the drop.

University Blues took St Kevins to task at TH King, reminding SKOBs what footy is like at the top of the table. Another slow start saw Blues click into gear after quarter time and run away with what became a fairly comfortable victory thereafter.

Tom MacKenzie drilled seven commanding goals, while Tim Blakey and Jack Watts were exceptional, 4

with a major each and plenty of footy. St Kevins can draw some positives from this loss. They did manage to score more goals against the Blues than any other side has achieved all season.

Old Ivanhoe blasted away Fitzroy with a seven goal to one opening half that the pout the Roys behind the eight ball. However ten Fitzroy goals to four wasn’t enough to peg back the margin in the second half. A brave Old Ivanhoe side holding on to their lead of just four points as the final siren sounded over Chelsworth Park.

Delmonte was great with four goals, Dean Heta, Robert Hondromatidis and Sam Geilings also hearty in the win.

RUN HOME Uni Blues: Blues take on AJAX and Caulfield in the coming weeks and, they’d be counting on these as wins at the University. This week’s game against AJAX could be dangerous; the Jackas no doubt plucky after last week’s brilliant win. However Blues already have top spot in concrete.

Old Carey: Carey host Old Haileybury this week, a win would virtually seal the double chance. A final round match will be like a mini final against SKOB. Carey will be keen to win both these games. The Panthers can potentially lose second spot, if any of OM’s, AJAX or SKOB manage two on the trot and Carey suffer even one sizeable loss. Despite this I think Carey’s class and healthy percentage will see them keep their spot at number two.

Old Melburnians: Of the group of sides vying for a finals berth, OM’s are best placed. A very winnable game against Fitzroy this week backs into what could be another mini final against Mazenod. With AJAX playing Blues and SKOB playing Old Carey, even one win in the last two might be enough for OM’s, but relying on the stars to align is not how they should be approaching it.

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to bwmor5@student.monash.edu

St Kevins OB: The hooped tricolours have their work cut out. Mazenod this week and Old Carey next are both tough fixtures. The proud club will be desperate to hang on for finals after a long season spent mostly amongst the top four. A win this week and the possibility of knocking Carey out of second spot to earn the double chance a huge motivating factor for SKOB. AJAX: A tough fixture against Blues this week put the Jackas in a tough spot. A loss doesn’t kill their chances, as long as SKOB or OM’s lose one of the next two also, but it does make it hard given their low percentage. If they play like they did last week, especially against a Blues side that has shown some chinks in the armour at stages this year, anything is possible.

Mazenod: Probably the hardest run of the contenders, Mazenod are up against it. St Kevins and Old Melburnians may have their measure. With so much on the line, anything is possible. A great season for a promoted side so far, particularly after their disastrous start is to

PREMIER B

The Rest: Fitzroy at one stage looked like finalists, as they were as high as third only half a dozen games ago. A tough month ensued and the Roys will be keen to set momentum in order for a fresh start next year. Caulfield Gr are still not safe, a win against Old Ivanhoe this week confirms another year in Prem B next year.

If Old Haileybury defy the VAFA Gods and beat Old Carey this week, then beat Old Ivanhoe in the last round, they could jump Caulfield on points and escape demotion. Unlikely, but dangling carrots don’t get much bigger.

Old Ivanhoe also have faint hopes, two Hoes wins and two losses to Caulfield will see them leapfrog the Fields to safety!

ROVERS, VULTURES TAKE BOX SEAT Hampton Rovers defeat of Monash Blues was the best indication yet, of how well the Rovers are travelling this year. With a series of recent injuries to important players, the Rovers whilst having the home ground advantage were expecting a fierce challenge from Blues. However 27 scoring shots to 14 demonstrated that the Rovers are on the march again in 2014 and will be a tough finals proposition for any side with serious ambition.

Parkdale Vultures also control their own destiny and whilst they had arguable the easier contest against ninth placed Ormond, the match was a danger game. The Monders were on their last chance if they were to avoid the drop. The Vultures killed any notion that Ormond might work a miracle with a display that is best illustrated by the 38 scoring shots to 10.

Scoreboard pressure is an amazing thing in football, and at quarter time Monash Blues would have seen 9 shots to 1 as they trailed Rovers by 23 points. There are two ways this could have gone.

Was it a wasteful first term or did it reveal a more realistic trend line. Luckily for the neutral, it was the former, Monash Blues responding in the second term to close the gap to a couple of kicks at the main change. However a third term that saw Blues add just a further behind to their score was more telling than the opening stanza. Whilst Rovers were unable to convert all their chances they were far more creative and despite being outscored in the last were always on top in the overall contest.

Turner kicked 3 goals for the home side whilst Petering managed three of his side’s seven goals.

Ormond had played an international fixture against the Kiwis midweek at Sportscover Arena and whilst they may not have played their best side, it was certainly a highlight in an otherwise disappointing year. The Monders will return to Division 1 a season after they were promoted via a Grand Final loss but the old VAFA powerhouse will be back better for it. Their loss to Parkdale confirmed their fate as again they had now answers for a raft of scoring options the Vultures presented.

The Vultures had ten goal kickers, eight of whom kicked at least a couple and Dillon, Papatsanis, 6

Glasscott and Platt all bagged three each. Charlie Dillon was omnipresent throughout the afternoon as the Vulture hold a game advantage on those chasing their fourth spot with two games to go.

Marcellin officially locked in a double chance with a nervy 10 point win over the visiting PEGS. PEGS are still in the mix for the four but their efforts at Bulleen suggested they knew this was the game to make their move. A horrible opening term ultimately cost the Bombers as they went in 25 points down having managed a solitary behind.

A wasteful second quarter didn’t help matters but there was no doubt PEGS were back in the contest.

They cut the margin again at three quarter time and the mood was they could do it. Jon Blanch and Simon Considine were playing good games for the Eagles and despite the run and carry of Cam Livori the Eagles were able to hold on to win.

Peninsula coughed up a 45 point three quarter time lead to lose in an astonishing manner to Old Camberwell by 17 points. IN one of the biggest comebacks of recent memory the Wellers produced a 62 point turn around in the final quarter to secure a win that will be talked about for years. The Pirates led comfortably and looked destined to keep the pressure up on Parkdale and add some needed percentage in the process in the last term. However, Old Camberwell had other ideas. The Wellers kicked a staggering 9.9 – think what it could have been if they were accurate – to win in a canter. Rob Cambpell was a huge influence and five majors from Jack Le Cerf equally as stunning. Makes you wonder if the Wellers had brought this kind of game in matches earlier in the year what could have been.

Oakleigh showed no sympathy for Banyule who had announced midweek of their intention to leave the VAFA. The Krushers ran out 65 point PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 55/69%) Hampton Rovers v Oakleigh Monash Blues v Ormond Parkdale Vultures v Peninsula Marcellin v Banyule PEGS v Old Camberwell

winners in at Scammell to keep their season alive in their bid to secure a finals spot. Aaron Cloke booted four goals as this Josh Paola, whilst Stuart Wines was in everything. Adam Barclay was the Bears’ best with a goal and it will be sad to see the likes of Barclay leave the competition if he chooses to stick with the Bears next year. Oakleigh are well placed to pinch fourth spot with two to go. Their percentage is superior to Parkdale’s, however matches against Hampton Rovers (A) today and Monash Blues (H) next week will be a true indication of whether they deserve to be involved in the post season.

It’s last chance saloon for PEGS who host Old Camberwell and Parkdale Vultures can effectively end the season for Peninsula. If Oakleigh can somehow beat the flying Hampton Rovers at Boss James it will certainly keep things interesting heading into Round 18.

ST BERNARDS LADIES CHARITY LUNCH - BREAST CANCER AWARERNESS Last Saturday over 100 Ladies and friends heard from an inspirational guest speaker Mike Leddin. Mike is 26years old, past SBC student and past player at St Bernard’s FC. Mike’s mum Maree was 31 when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer and sadly passed away in 2011. Since the passing of his mother, Mike has been on a driven personal crusade and fundraised to search for a cure, to the disease that took his mum away so young. Mike has raised over $250,000 in his three year fight against breast cancer, and his amazing work was recently honoured when he received a “Special Achievement Award” from Breast Cancer Ambassador Sarah Murdoch. (as pictured) Mike is about to publish his family’s memoir in memory of his mother. He hopes the book will “educate and inform those in prevention, treatment and coping mechanisms for both the directly impacted [by breast cancer] person and those around them” 2014 marks an important milestone for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). This year they are commemorating 20 years of funding vital research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer. Since 1994, some $105 million has been raised to help fund over 370 Australian-based research projects to improve the health and wellbeing of those affected by breast cancer.

NBCF believe research is the most effective

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

way for us to reach our aspirational goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030.

In 1994, 30 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer passed away from the disease.

In 20 years, this percentage has halved. NBCF know the work is far from over and are now committed, and looking forward, to funding vital and innovative cancer research for the future. St Bernard’s FC would like to thank all those who joined us for this very special lunch with Mike Leddin, at which we raised both awareness and funds, as the search for a breast cancer cure goes on.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

GOAL KICKING CLASS It has been a big year for some of our clubs power forwards with their accuracy in front of the two big sticks. It is interesting to see that five players across our 26 sections have kicked more than 70 goals so far this season.

In division 1, the Bannister brothers have caused havoc for their opposition down forward and are currently leading the section goal kicking with Jarrod currently on 88, whilst Corey is on 69.

With two games remaining in the section, could Jarrod hit the 100 goal mark like Oakleigh’s Aaron Cloke did in 2012? In other sections, Old Xaverian Matt Handley with 42 goals still leads by three in Premier section in front of Collegian Shura Taft on 39 and St Bernards Chad Jones on 36. Still anyone’s for the taking with three games remaining.

In Premier B, AJAX’s David Fayman leads by

11 from Old Haileybury’s Michael Meehan.

As miracles do happen and with two games remaining anything’s possible. In Premier C, it is still anyone’s game with only five goals separating the top three respectively, currently led by Hampton Rovers Ed Turner.

In the division sections, division 2 sees Old Paradian David Boundy eight ahead from Kew’s Andrew Brazzalle with two games remaining.

In division 3, the top four leaders are still in the hunt for the medal with only minimal goals separating the leader Chris Beluszar from Emmaus St Leos who leads by one straight kick.

Division 4 sees Hawthorn’s Jason Ince sitting on 75 goals ahead of team mate Sam Gold on 53. The difference of 25 goals seems hard to catch and Jason should have it in the bag in two week’s time.

VOSS HEADS TO BANKSIA RESERVE Good to see former Brisbane Lions Captain and Coach Michael Voss pop down to Banksia Reserve last Saturday to watch Beaumaris and Old Trinity. Voss is currently the coach on the TV show “The Recruit” which includes two VAFA players, Beaumaris’ Waylen Manson and Old Xaverians Brendan Goss. Judging by this article, Waylen seems to be grabbing a lot of attention from AFL recruiters.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to Aquinas’ LEIGH TOOMEY – Debuting at Aquinas in the U19s in 2002, Leigh won the U19 B&F in his first year. He quickly established himself in the Seniors, awarded the player-voted Seniors MVP in 2007, 2012 and 2013, as well as joint Senior B&F in 2013. As Club captain, Fossil is a hard at the ball midfielder/on-baller, with the ability to get “in and under”, weave his way through the packs, and clear the centre stoppages to advantage. Congratulations to Leigh on achieving this major milestone.

Congratulations to St Marys Salesian’s ALASTAIR DWYER - A St Marys player in pre-merger days, Dewy is a good mark and kick, hard at the ball, and a valuable goal kicking forward, who has returned to SMS after a couple of successful seasons with Pyramid Hill in the Loddon Valley Football League. Alastair is a popular clubman and his experience is invaluable to younger teammates.

Congratulations to Old Trinity’s BRENDAN IEZZI – Brendan reaches this important 150 game milestone at 26 years of age. He has been captain for four seasons and has won OT’s Best and Fairest four times since he commenced in 2006. A regular VAFA representative player, Brendan was awarded the 2011 Woodrow Medal and two G T Moore Medals. He leads by example, is a mentor of the game and plays hard but fair.

Congratulations to Swinburne Uni’s ADAM HYMAN – An inspirational leader, Adam has been Senior captain for the last 6 seasons. His ability to win the contested ball and influence play has won him admiration within and outside the club. Recent injuries have slowed him down but certainly not halted his hunger for the game. Adam often takes an on field coaching role to assist his teammates, along with his outstanding committee work as club treasurer.

Congratulations to St Johns’ DARRYN O’CONNOR – Ever since his debut, Darryn has been a staple of the St Johns’ backline. Rarely beaten, Dasher played in the club’s 2005 Premiership and captained the 2011 Premiership side. Held in the highest regard for the best part of a decade, Darryn has had the thrill of playing alongside his brother’s Mitch and Liam this year, with the trio holding down key defensive posts.

Congratulations to Old Xaverians’ ED LACHAL – Ed played in the U19 firsts in 2009, moving into the Reserves in 2010, playing in various positions. In 2013, Ed moved into the ruck, where he finally found his position. He has developed into a real weapon, and uses his old basketball skills to provide the midfielders with an “armchair ride”. Ed is a great clubman who rarely misses training, and never a social event.

Congratulations to Old Xaverians’ MATT SKIDMORE – Matt made his mark early in his first year of U19s and quickly became an important part of the Premier team. His ability to read the play and constantly intercept opposition kick-ins was invaluable to the side. Matt then moved onto Senior football and was a regular in the seconds, finishing third in the B&F in 2009 and 2010. Matt is the ultimate club man and we hope that this continues for years to come.

Congratulations to Old Xaverians’ MATT DIMATTINA – Matt’s ability to find the footy and finish off with a goal is excellent. Always wanting to know how to improve himself, Matt works hard on his game. Socially, Matt’s energy matched his forward pressure in games, and his inclusiveness and passion for the Ménages has been a driving factor for the team’s recent success. A 3 time Premiership player, Matt should be proud of his achievements as a footballer.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to St Bernard’s JACK SAUNDRY – Another St Bernards Junior, Jack was a member of the U19 North Premiership side in 2011, before winning the U19 Premier Best & Fairest in 2012. A tough backman and on-baller, Jack continues to improve and has a bright future at the club. Congratulations to popular clubman at the Snakepit.

Congratulations to West Brunswick’s EVAN LLOYD – Evan commenced playing for West Brunswick AFC in 2007 and despite having to overcome some hamstring injuries, he has been the rock of West Brunswick’s defence over the past eight years. A 2008 premiership player and Senior Co-Captain in 2012, Evan has run the club’s bar for the last three seasons. We congratulate Evan on his magnificent service to the club and wish him well in his 100th game this week.

Congratulations to Yarra Valley’s JORDAN CANHAM – A crafty, hardworking and consistent forward, Jordan was a member of the 2012 Senior Premiership team and continues to be an excellent off-field contributor. Well done on all of your contributions to YV, and we look forward to 100 more excellent games.

Congratulations to Swinburne Uni’s DANIEL HASSABELLA – Hassa’s ability to hit targets and break opposition zones with his prolific kicking has made him a major thorn for opposition teams, and a serious weapon for the razorbacks. His rebound from half back often has him manned up by a defensive forward in a bid to curb his influence. His casual demeanour off the ground coupled with his infamous humour make him just as entertaining in the clubrooms.

Congratulations to Swinburne Uni’s KANE FITZPATRICK – Kane is in his third year at the club, with his natural leadership seeing him installed as vice-captain.

Often found on the bottom of packs getting his hands dirty, Kane’s tenacity for the contest has seen the quietly spoken midfielder certainly let his attack on the footy do the talking.

TWO-HORSE RACE The surge for the fourth and last spot in the finals remains open to two combatants, Old Geelong and Old Mentonians, with neither giving an inch in posting strong victories. Old Geelong finally returned to winning form with no time to spare, beating Whitefriars to retain their percentage advantage over their the Panthers. While Old Mentonians handsomely brushed aside Bulleen Templestowe to find themselves nipping at the heals of the OGs. Bulleen Temp are still on the cusp of relegation as the result put a major dent in their attempted resurgence to safety.

Elsewhere, Prahran Assumption slipped out of the finals race as Therry Penola won their 16th in a row and Williamstown CYMS edged their way past Yarra Valley.

Old Geelong put their foot on the accelerator at the opening whistle and didn’t remove it until the final siren, something that’s been missing from the OG’s game in recent weeks. The visitors sliced through Whitefriars in the first with an opportune wind at their backs kicking five majors. The second quarter produced a similar output, this time in favour of the Friars who kicked five of their own and squabbled back the lead heading into the main break. Once again the OG’s made considerable indents in Whitefriars’ defenses with an eight-goal term and a 33-point buffer at three-quarter time.

Whitefriars were unable to reproduce their second quarter efforts as Old Geelong fought diligently to hold off a comeback and claimed a 37-point victory. Colby O’Brien was named best on ground for the OG’s while John Hogan held the honors for Whitefriars.

It was similar scene down at Turner Road as Old Mentonians had first crack at with a five-goal wind. After a slow start the Panthers delivered the goods to be on par while their opponents, Bulleen Templestowe bagged two against it.

Bulleen Temp answered the hosts five-goal opening term with three of their own and heavy forward pressure resulting in many mistakes by OMFC reducing the deficit to seven-points. Old Mentonians had seemingly blundered their 16

opportunity – and despite the wind – hadn’t scored until the 14 minute mark. But when it rains it pours, and goals came in a similar fashion once the drought was broken with six goals in as many minutes. The Bullants had their chances to reply but erred shots at goal cost them the match. Ben Roberton kicked a game-high four goals, Darcy Brown was B.O.G in the 49-point win.

Prahran Assumption’s fate is now sealed, as the miracle of defeating the undefeated Therry Penola and playing finals are now both in the past. During the Two Blues’ opening half both those were a real possibility, as they kept Therry goalless in the first and outscored them throughout the half to lead by nine-points.

However, by the following quarters’ completion reality set in following a blistering five goal to zip third term. The Lions kicked another four goals to cement a 38-point victory. Jarrod Bannister increased his goal tally to 88 for the season with a bag of five and Jarrod Egglestone was best on for his contested ball dominance in the middle for the victors.

Williamstown CYMS (2nd) were in touching distance of losing their handle on the double chance at the hands of Yarra Valley. The Bushrangers’ opening term was far from exceptional but the remaining three were remarkable. For a side that’s displayed both their best and worst this season Yarra Valley were on the verge of breaking the ceiling last weekend.

In the second quarter Yarra Valley rebounded to win the term and reduce Williamstown’s lead to nine-points. And made another imprint on the CY’s in the third, drawing it to just four-points.

Yarra forced the CY’s to play out of their skin and kept the game a contest throughout its entirety.

Unfortunately for Yarra Valley, Williamstown snuck home 12-point winners thanks to three goals from Luke Molan and a best afield effort from Ryan Danaher.

NOBS/St Pats proved to MHSOB you can’t win without work ethic and they displayed this for four quarters. NOBSPC’s opened proceedings with an inaccurate 4.9. It was a poor return as they wasted repeated shots on goal following the hard work to get there. MHSOB responded well and stood up with the wind at their backs but it proved too much for the inexperienced Unicorns fighting against it again in the third.

The Nobs made them pay with a whooping 11.8 bombardment in the third quarter to end the contest. Full-back Mick O’Donoghue (6) will be

This week, NOBS/St Pats host Old Mentonians, OMFC will be desperate to remain in the race for the top four, but expecting the Nobs to end their hopes. Old Geelong plays Bulleen Templestowe, the OG’s will consolidate fourth spot with a victory at home. MHSOB travel to Yarra Valley, where the Bushrangers will earn their sixth win for the season. Williamstown CYMS face Prahran Assumption, predicting the CY’s to defeat the Two Blues at Fearon. Therry Penola take on Whitefriars and they will make it 17-0 and convincingly beat the Friars.

DIVISION 2

RAIDERS CHOKE ON JOCS St Johns’ late season charge at the finals gained momentum after the JOCs upstaged their more fancied rivals in Old Paradians. It was their best performance to date, St Johns snapped a three game losing streak against Paradians and in doing so, gave themselves a realistic shot at taking the Raiders’ spot in the top-four. With the last three games between the two decided by under two goals, and both sides’ finals chance hinging on victory, it was clear from the opening bounce that this was going to be a test of attrition. St Johns had greater impetus for victory as club champion Darryn O’Connor played his 150th and the JOCs were keen to celebrate his milestone in style.

In blustery conditions at Garvey Oval, superior ball use and efficiency up forward were key focuses for both sides. No more than two points separated the sides for the first three quarters; leaving both sides to will themselves for one final effort aftert 3/4 time. Old Paradians held sway early and skipped out to what seemed a matchwinning two goal lead but then it changed. With their season on the line, the JOCs owned the final 20 minutes of the game. St Johns’ on-ballers took control around the stoppages, their pressure around the ball at a manic level. They turned the final quarter into a dog fight, capitalised on the Raiders’ turnovers and banged home four goals to two to record a memorable 10 point win.

The JOCs momentum is at a season high and will need to hit another gear this week against ladder leaders Kew in what is a must win. For Old Paradians, a win last week would have killed off St Johns’ charge, but now their season is on the line away at Monash Gryphons.

Elsternwick did their chances of avoiding relegation no harm last week, with a five goal win over a disappointing Monash Gryphons which sees the Wicks one game clear of the bottom-two.

Elsternwick built this game as the “granny within our season” and their effort and intensity in trying conditions is what got them the four points.

18

Captain Aaron Thornton was back to his best as he nearly single handily dragged his team over the line with a scintillating seven goal haul. After a tight first quarter, Monash were held goalless in the second and it proved costly, as the Wicks banged home three and all but set-up victory. Bad kicking nearly cost the them but their superior class up forward, in the blustery conditions sealed a confidence boosting win. Tough assignments for both sides this week as Elsternwick host Ivanhoe and Monash face Old Paradians who will be keen on a form and percentage boost.

St Mary’s Salesian put pay to the notion that there are more than two genuine premiership contenders in Div 2, as they dominated an in-form Old Eltham to the tune of 58 points. The Saints were back to their attacking best on their home deck with Alastair Dwyer the star in his 150th with four majors. The win puts St Mary’s a game clear in second place and equal favourites for the flag.

The Saints caught the Turtles napping in the first, holding them goalless whilst slamming through four of their own. Old Eltham found their form in the second as they slotted home five goals to two and reduced the margin to eight points at the main break. But after half-time it was all the Saints.

They held the Turtles goalless for the second time in the match in the third, and kicked ten goals to two for the second half. Both sides have winnable games this week and will look to make minor adjustments with finals a mere two weeks away.

Ivanhoe handed South Melbourne a football lesson last week, as the Hoes totally dominated the Districts. They put the previous week’s draw behind them with a resounding 67 point win.

Lovell was the star again for Ivanhoe, as the inform forward kicked another bag of five and outscored South Melbourne by himself. Ivanhoe had winners on every line and kept the Districts goalless for two straight quarters. Finals maybe out of the question but the Hoes seem intent on finishing off their season in grand style. It is a different story for the Districts who may have run out of legs after a long and arduous season. Ivanhoe will look for two in a row against Elsternwick whilst South Melbourne face a daunting task as they host St Mary’s Salesian.

defence, kicking a bag of five as defender come forward Sam Bishop helped himself to three. The Saints were held scoreless for the second and third and had just two goal kickers for the, whilst more than half of Kew’s side recorded majors.

“Silly Sunday” cannot come quick enough for the luckless Saints who face their second relegation in as many years. For Kew, the win cannot be taken out of context as they face a barnstorming St Johns side in what is the match of the round.

Kew gained some much needed form as the Bears feasted on the carcass that is Glen Eira, holding onto top spot with a thumping 128 point win.

Brazzale took full advantage of the leaky Saints

DIFFERING DESTINIES It seems like yesterday that the Northern Blues were underdogs in the Division 4 finals, eventually defeating Eley Park to become premiers in their maiden year as a senior club from 6th place capping off the most memorable of finals series. Nearly 12 months on, both clubs are on contrasting crossroads in their respective seasons. Eley Park face La Trobe this weekend in their final chance to keep their pulse alive and survive another year in Division 3. The Blues have forged a different path, retaining that winning culture to take the target on their backs into the 2014 finals series. Twelve months is a long time in football.

REVIEW Richmond Central registered their third consecutive victory on Saturday, leading from start to finish against UHS-VU to take a 56-point victory at Kevin Bartlett Reserve. The result leaves the Vultures in a precarious position outside the top six trailing by a game and percentage.

On the other hand, Richmond is now a game clear inside the six after a dramatic change in form over the last five weeks. Luke Carland (RC) and Rhys Kirk (UHS-VU) shared the spoils as the game’s major goal-kickers with four majors each while Stuart Ward was best on ground for the Snakes.

Northern Blues endured wet and windy conditions at Ruthven Reserve to defeat a gallant South Mornington by 118-points. The Tigers remained competitive despite trailing for the entire match in the lopsided affair. Tony Vuwai was dominant for the Blues in the midfield while James King kicked things off with three goals in the first quarter. The Blues blooded two up-andcomers in Thom Evans and Matt Thompson in the clash.

Emmaus St Leos remain on top on percentage from Blues after countering wild winds at La Trobe to defeat the Trobers by 46-points. The home side couldn’t manage a goal until the final quarter in the clash, kicking just two behinds in 20

the first three quarters. A big third term sparked the win for the Animals, registering 10 of their 19 scoring shots for the game in a fast-flowing quarter. Emmaus were forced to share the load up forward with Chris Beluszar going goalless for the entire contest. Daniel Hill helped ease that burden by finding plenty of the ball and kicking a major of his own. La Trobe are still a game clear of Eley Park outside the relegation zone with five wins for the season.

Aquinas elevated their game to another level in Michael Jess and Lachie Barnes’ 100th games, kicking six unanswered goals in the first quarter to steam away to a 50-point win at Beaurepaire Pavilion. The Blood’s placed a big emphasis on forward-pressure under tutelage of Russell Barnes and delivered truly, locking the ball inside their front half for a majority of the contest. Jack Price and Jai Perrett combined for seven goals in their team’s win as Aquinas remain comfortably in third place on the ladder. The loss sees the Falcon’s lose their place inside the top six to Power House.

Ten players were among the goal-kickers for Ant Voyage’s Power House as they trampled Eley Park by 60-points at Ross Gregory Oval. The win sees the home side move into sixth position on the ladder with just two rounds left to play in 2014.

The Sharks had no reply for Power House’s first half onslaught in front of the sticks, conceding 11 goals in a rampant first-half. David Burnside and Adam Collett kicked three goals apiece for Power House while Andrew Zaicos was the only multiple goal-scorer for Eley Park with three as well. The Sharks have now lost five consecutive matches and could be bound for a return to Division 3 next year.

In the closest match of a breezy round, Swinburne University vanquished St Francis Xavier’s chances of a finals berth in a 27-point DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 67/70%) Emmaus St Leos v Power House Eley Park Sharks v La Trobe University Northern Blues v Aquinas Swinburne University v South Mornington Albert Park v Richmond Central UHS-VU v St Francis Xavier

win at St Francis Xavier College. Not wanting to go down without a fight, the X-Men led at the first change of ends and were within striking distance for most of the match, but lacked the staying power to defeat the Razorbacks.

Brendan O’Hara was among St Francis’ best with two goals while Ashley Woodhead performed admirably for Swinburne. The result makes a first round finals match-up between Swinburne and Aquinas highly likely.

PREVIEW Emmaus St Leos v Power House: A great start to a great round. Power House is unlikely to go down easily like they did in their 88-point Round 8 loss to the Animals. UHS-VU v St Francis Xavier: With finals looking like a distant dream for the X-Men,

Albert Park v Richmond Central: Albert Park will need to be at their best to defeat an in-form Richmond Central and take back sixth place.

Swinburne University v South Mornington: If results swing in Swinburne’s favour, a move into third position should be on offer.

Northern Blues v Aquinas: A win for Aquinas could see final’s match-ups rearranged. Blues won by 11-points in a tight contest last time the two sides met. Eley Park Sharks v La Trobe University: Eley Park must win if they want to remain in Division 3 in 2015, however form is with the Trobers.

DIVISION 4

Ryan ‘Hammy’ Goodman

HAWTHORN MAKE IT A SWEET 16 Whilst most results were clear-cut one-way affairs last week, the closest game was also the most crucial. Manningham’s narrow win over Point Cook now means that Westbourne Grammarians will have to rely on a Homer Simpson-esque meltdown from the Cobras to stand any chance of qualifying for the finals. Elsewhere, Hawthorn helped themselves to a confident win against third placed Canterbury – a result that only reaffirms the feeling that Division 4 is theirs to lose. Both Brunswick outfits registered strong wins and Westbourne Grammarians controlled the controllables in their win over Dragons.

The Hawks unblemished 2014 season continued with a composed display against fellow September lock-ins Canterbury. Whilst the Cobras performed well enough to stay within striking distance in the first half, the Hawks always looked comfortable. The third quarter was a different story, with Canterbury enjoying the run of the play, quashing the momentum of the undefeated ladder leaders in the process. An explosive finish to the third saw the Hawks bag four quick goals. They reverted to auto-pilot in the last to keep the juggernaut rolling. Despite the absence of Sam ‘screamer’ Gold, the Hawks enjoyed the return of key-player David Tremewen who made up for lost time with four goals. As ever, Jason Ince and Sean Stormonth collected multiple goals and provided great targets all day.

Accurate kicking was also a feature for the Hawks, who only registered five behinds, of which two were rushed. Canterbury have only beaten one top four side from six attempts (Manningham by two points in round nine). Whilst their final’s position is not under threat, they will need to lift to ensure they make a stamp on the competition in their debut VAFA season.

the first term and made the most of it, helping themselves to nine goals in the process. Whilst Box Hill North mounted a solid comeback in the second, the last half of the game became a procession as West Brunswick set about doubling their opponent’s score. A mixture of tough conditions and a testing run of the green in regards to injury and suspension caught up with Box Hill North, who were gallant in defeat, but now look ready to wrap up the season.

North Brunswick made it two on the trot with a their best performance of the year against the Synners. Their destructive display was spearheaded by Kenny Zuidema who collected 15 majors – yes that is not a misprint – and played the final hand in at least half a dozen other goals.

Simon Mair collected six goals playing in the midfield and Tom Leary did not miss a target all day – he even hit a teammate on the chest by soccering a ball off the ground. The result is testament to a patient approach to 2014 from North Brunswick. They struggled early in the season, but now have the opportunity to go three in a row against Point Cook in their final home game of the season.

Manningham kept a challenging Point Cook outfit at bay to maintain the gap between the top four and the rest. The Bulldogs led at both changes in the first half, before the Cobras bunkered down and got the job done. Tom Bell was busy as ever for the Cobras, finding the ball regularly. Inside forward fifty, Dylan Wolfgramm was lethal as always with five. Paul Hegarty, Robbie Milne and Jake Perrins were the pick of the litter for the Dogs.

rue wayward kicking and will need to improve this weekend to stop the Bulls’ charge to the end of the season.

Westbourne Grammarians found themselves on their back early against a fiery Dragons outfit at Westbourne School Ground. Despite a whirlwind opening term, the Dragons ran out of puff in the second and were unable to recapture their early momentum for the rest of the afternoon.

Except for a lacklustre first term, Westbourne Grammarians were the far better of the two teams all afternoon and should have won by a lot more. As the likelihood of finals football now looks all but dead and buried for the club, the opportunity to boost their percentage was let slip courtesy of fifteen behinds. Amber Imber, Carl Chesterman and Chris Sneddon were the best for the Grammarians. At the other end, Tom

DIVISION 4

Westbourne Grammarians will be looking to draw inspiration from Tom Cruise and the Mission Impossible film franchise as they search for inspiration to keep their slim, yet mathematically possible finals hopes alive. They’ll be hoping for a helping hand from the team they easily accounted for in the Dragons, as they take on the current custodians of fourth spot Manningham.

Elsewhere, North Brunswick will be looking to keep building towards 2015 when they take on Point Cook, but I’m expecting the Dogs to improve on last week’s result. West Brunswick will be looking to celebrate Evan ‘Red’ Lloyd’s one hundredth game for the club when they take on the Synners, their final home game before the finals.

In the last two weeks, Adrian has taken his game to the next level, being a major contributor regularly amongst De La Salle’s best players. Last week, Adrian was again instrumental for De La Salle, booting two goals against Old Xaverians after his three goals the week before against Collegians.

The talented youngster looks at home at senior level and is a great asset for De La Salle. * to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing his first full season of senior football.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2009 B Section ladder leaders, St Bernards, were made to earn it against bottom placed Hampton Rovers at Hampton.

It was the Rovers who did the ‘nipping at the heels’ and each time St Bernards looked like bolting away, the Rovers reacted positively. In a free scoring last term, St Bernards maintained control to win 16.9 to 12.10. Best: Church (8), Schroder, O’Sullivan, Caven Jordon, Stapleton (StB) and Semmell (4), Theodore, Fletcher, Woods, Carr, De Boer (HR).

In C Section, ladder leaders Caulfield Grammarians had a ‘Field’ day and scored what may have been their highest ever score as they obliterated Old Geelong 40.17 to 8.13. Best: J May, C May, Parsons, Noblett, Nelson, Zara (4) (CG) and Middleton, Stevens, Hope, Johnstone, Legoe, Betts, Bell (OG).

Well known amateur player Dean Matthews (Bulleen Templestowe) played his 300th game and along the way had won numerous awards and was a well performed rep player.

10 YEARS AGO – 2004 In D3 Section, the match between UHS-VU and South Melbourne Districts would probably decide fourth place. It was shocking conditions and both teams managed 1.4 in the first quarter in the slog.

UHS made a monumental move in the second quarter by kicking 3.2 to a solitary behind and a three goal lead was invaluable as conditions worsened. Only two goals in total were scored in the second half with UHS-VU winning 5.10 to 2.10, gaining 4 points and they already had lot of percentage advantage over the Districts. Best players: Cooper, Bell, Madra, Mottram, Tate, Butera (UHS-VU) and Aquilina, Washington, P D’Andrea, Cheevers, M Hannan, Merveich (South Melbourne Districts).

D3 Section Senior coaches were – Peter Tyson (Hawthorn Amateurs), David Keast (Mount Lilydale OC), Chris Moore (Oakleigh), Brett Devlin (Powerhouse), Tony West (Rupertswood), Ben McGee (St Johns OC), Brendan Moloney (South Melbourne Districts), Jeff Bingham (Syndal TallyHo), Shane Mottram (UHS-VU) and Tim Ellis (Werribee).

20 YEARS AGO – 1994 In A Section, De La Salle upset Collegians 17.17 to 42

9.16 and may have done the Lions’ double chance some harm and at the same time provided the D’s with a slight chance of avoiding relegation in the coming weeks. Best: P Mannix, B Mannix (6), O’Brien, Moloney, Conroy (DLS) and Wallace, Harrison, Thomson, Lake, Schober (Coll).

Bulleen Templestowe held off a strong challenge from Old Brighton in B Section and held on to 4th place. BT stormed home in the 22.9 to 17.9 victory with dynamic Dean Matthews kicking no less than six goals in the final term.

At the VAFA Umpires’Annual Dinner, Joe Ischia won the ‘Golden Whistle Award” and ‘Most Improved’ went to Anthony Damen. Guest speaker was past VAFA umpire and former Australian Cricket Board CEO, Graham Halbish.

30 YEARS AGO – 1984 All associated with amateur football were shocked to hear of the death of former VAFA Secretary, Jack Fullerton, a very forceful character with ‘firm decision making’ the trademark of his administrative capabilities.

A surprise result in C Section as Old Camberwell recorded a 5 goal win over 2nd placed Old Brighton and in doing so made sure of avoiding relegation.

40 YEARS AGO – 1974 Ray Wookey (Geelong) reached his 200 games after many injury frustrations and had enjoyed a long and distinguished career including captaincy of his club and VAFA representation.

Marcellin’s Peter French, known as “Kookaburra” for his constant chatting on and off the field, played his 100th game. Peter went on to become General Manager of the VAFA before proceeding to the MCC in a management position.

80 YEARS AGO – 1934 In C Section, Sandringham (3rd)‘woke up’in the last quarter to beat MHSOB (6th) by 3 points. MHSOB finished with only 17 men in the final term after skipper, Gus McNaughton received a very nasty, broken nose. Best: Joe Richards, Artie Roberts and Jim Sheedy for Sandy. ‘Curley’ Webster and ‘Bluey’ Truscott were good players for MHSOB. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

St Bernards defence was resolute and their attack was terrific, as they did not concede one goal and kicked 29 of their own against a hapless Old Melburnians.

Ten goals in the first quarter got the ladder leaders started as Sibbald and Hughes kicked 5 and Piantella 4 goals in the rout. Piantella was outstanding all day in the win. SKOB led by just 4 points at half time against St Bedes/Mentone at Brindisi St, before the class of SKOBs shone through. Dicintio kicked two and Snell was best for SKOB, whilst Iudica kicked a goal and was

@jdonohoe12

named best on for the home side in a positive performance. Jonno Daggian was at his best for Old Scotch, booting 6 goals in the 98-73 win over De La. Inaccuracy cost the Cardinals a bigger winning margin, 20 behinds just wasteful. Otter and Ballon were best for Scotch. Dumbelton kicked 4 for De La and was named their best. At Strabroke Park Old Xaverians kicked the first four goals to Beauy’s one. The goals were shared for Xavs who won by 50 points. Todd Vander Haar was Xavs’ best player along with Hess and Barry.

For the Sharks, Guiliano kicked 5 goals of their 7 goals and was their best. Both teams are safely in the finals with two games to play.

U19 Section 3 with Tom Connolly @tomconnolly15

A perfect day graced us on Saturday for some round 16 Under 19’s Football. Old Xaverians took on St Mary’s Salesian at home and came away 44 point winners. Old Xaverians led from the first siren to the last and Wilson for Old Xaverians was best on ground.

Old Carey took on Old Camberwell, with Old Camberwell leading at quarter time by 4 points it was Old Carey that were to strong running away with a comfortable 47 points. Wallace kicked 5 and was best on ground and Nixon kicked 3 for Old Carey. In a tight affair between Old Ivanhoe 44

and Williamstown CYMS, Old Ivanhoe were in control all day but Williamstown came hard in the last quarter, however it was too little too late in the end with Old Ivanhoe holding on to take out the points by one straight kick. Ebinger kicked five goals for Williamstwon but it wasn’t enough to get his team over the line. Marcellin gathered up another 4 points by defeating AJAX by 61 points, it was a all even at quarter time but Marcellin who are having a run of wins took it out. Di Roberto kicked 5 and Robertson 3 for Marcellin and Grant was BOG. With only two rounds to go before finals this is when teams want to be playing their best football.

@annaod_

La Trobe University grabbed a 45-point win over Yarra Valley at the weekend, with Oliver kicking three goals and being amongst the best performers for La Trobe.

The Suns beating the Friars by 42 points as Gallina slotted seven goals for the day, with Ryan and Iannacone chipping in to help get the win. Ivanhoe beat Banyule by 32 U19 South with Anna O’Donnell

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Kit Harvey

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE WHISTLE “WHY DO YOU UMPIRE FOOTY?” It’s a question I (Kit) get asked a lot and although my answer has started to feel a bit rehearsed, it hasn’t become any less true. As a former player of our great game, umpiring in the VAFA has been a way for me to stay involved in footy, keep fit and earn a few extra bucks in a safe, friendly environment.

Last weekend, I travelled to Beaumaris and realised there’s another thing I’d like to start telling people about umpiring in this competition. It’s a great way to see Melbourne and experience the diversity of our footy culture. On any given weekend, I could be officiating in Fitzroy, Mentone, Ivanhoe, Toorak, Bulleen, Carlton - the list goes on. Sure, footy clubs can have certain similarities - passionate fans, hard working coaches and administrators, dedicated volunteers - but I never get sick of seeing how (and where) different clubs go about their business.

WHO’S THE RECORD HOLDER? A recent story in “For the Love of the Game” caught our attention. A couple of players were claiming to hold the record for the amount of clubs they have played against. We’re sure there would be plenty of umpires (old-timers) out there who could blow them out of the water.

Yes, the umpires have the advantage of seeing two clubs each week and usually across different sections during the year so it’s not a fair comparison to the players. So get your record books out and let us know. It’s only for bragging rights, but who will it be? Chillie?

Chuck? Dave Hindle? Macca? Simmo? Bernie 52

Hoare? Dom Napoli? Maybe even Benny.

Don’t forget those clubs no longer with us such as Parkside, Fawkner, Preston MBOB, Footscray Institute of Technology OB, Thomastown, Heatherton, Coburg, Rupertswood, etc.

There’s also that group of clubs that have merged or morphed into another identity such as ANZ Bank, State Bank, Balaclava, St Patricks’s Mentone etc.

Get us your stats and we’ll announce the winner during the finals.

LAWS OF THE GAME QUIZ LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: A player from Team A is having a shot at goal.

A teammate goes through the mark, closely followed by a Team B player. What does the umpire do?

The correct answer was OPTION C: the umpire blows time on and tells both players to clear the area and resets the mark.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: A player from Team A is taking a shot at goal after the siren. Before the Team A player kicks the ball, a player from Team B climbs on the shoulders of his team mate on the mark. What happens next? a) The umpire pays a 25-metre penalty against Team B b) The umpire blows time on, warns the Team B player and clears him out c) Nothing, it is allowed by the umpire and the set shot proceeds as normal.

VAFA COLTS

@Liv_Crowe

FULL OF SUPRISES The match of the round and a potential final like game between Westbourne Grammarians and Mazenod, didn’t turn out that way. The Nodders opened up with a five goal first quarter and by half time had kept their opponents to one goal.

Elijah Van Rensburg was impressive all game, whilst Kieran McKeogh and Josh Swainson kicked 3 each. Jeremy Jardine was best for Westbourne Gr, the loss ends their five game winning streak.

Despite UHS VU’s improvement over the last few weeks, they couldn’t continue it against another quality opposition in Point Cook. The second quarter cost the Uni boys as they were unable to add to their score, whilst the Bulldogs kicked away with four. The second half was much the same as Point Cook were victorious by 52 points.

St Bernards led by Matt Zammit, who finished with 6 goals and best afield honours, were simply too classy for the Uni Blues by 94 points.

The Uni boys could only managed 2 goals after half time and as a result were never really in the match as the Snowdogs skill efficiency on the scoreboard superb. Benjamin Willersdorf was best despite the defeat.

A 5 goal haul from Ashley Zedal helped Williamstown CYMS claim victory over Old Paradians. Despite a slow start in the first term, Paradians were able to reduce the margin back to 17 points at the main break. After half time the CY’s stepped up a gear and kept Paradians

scoreless in the third term as they extended their lead to 39 points at the last change before continuing their solid form to win by 35. This victory keep’s the CY’s finals hopes alive and in the hunt for that top four spot.

CLUB XVIII

Norm Nugent

The Semi Finals, played over three days provided a feast of football for the hardy souls who braved the Sportscover Arena winds.

Each of the six games played was won by a clear margin giving those victorious sides confidence as they sit back for a week off.

REVIEW ROUND SECTION 1 - CROCS AND TWO BLUES SALUTE Perennial finalists, Old Xaverians continued their August success against Hawthorn who suffered their second successive loss to the Crocodiles, by 30 points. The game started evenly with neither side able to gain a break. The Xaverians early inaccuracy saw Hawthorn hold a three point lead at the first change. Five unanswered Xaverian goals in the second quarter gave the Crocodiles a 31 point half time lead. Hawthorn, failed to respond to Coach Anthony Demetriou’s stirring half time address as they managed just a single goal in the vital third quarter, which ended with Old Xaverians holding a 38 point lead. To their credit, Hawthorn maintained their competitiveness and outscored their opponents in the last quarter. Nevertheless, the Xaverians had built an unassailable lead and were 30 points up when the final siren sounded.

Heavy rain fell in the opening quarter before the sun shone through the clouds for the first semi between Prahran/Assumption and Mt Lilydale.

The first half provided a close contest as each team took the ascendancy during play. Prahran/ Assumption held a one point lead at half time.

After the interval, Prahran/ Assumption took control and allowed Mt Lilydale only three minor scores throughout second half which enabled the Two Blues to win the right to play this Sunday.

SECTION 2 - SEAGULLS SOAR INTO GRAND FINAL Emmaus St Leo’s, who started with a distinct 58

wind advantage, had the better of the opening duels and led by 14 points at the first change.

It was significant though that Williamstown C.Y.M.S. had goaled into the wind. This fact took on greater meaning in the second quarter as Emmaus St Leo’s failed to score while their opponents, added three goals and went to the half time break six points ahead. The third quarter really set the stage for what was to come. Although Emmaus St Leo’s scored three goals with the wind, the CY’s forwards were again able to goal at the Glenhuntly Road end and trailed by only nine points at three quarter time. The last quarter was a repeat of the second for the tiring Animals who again failed to score while their opponents gathered momentum with each forward foray. Only inaccuracy in front of goal prevented Williamstown being further than 21 points ahead when the game ended.

For the third successive final, success had eluded Emmaus/ St Leo’s. Richmond Central started slowly against Therry Penola who led by seven points after a low scoring first quarter. From then on, Richmond Central took control of the game to hold a lead of 15 points at half time. They goaled into the third quarter wind while holding Therry Penola to two goals with the wind. At the last change, Richmond Central despite forward inaccuracy held a lead of 10 points. This margin increased in the final quarter as the Snakes powered home by kicking six goals to one to give themselves victory by 45 points.

SECTION 3 - ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR UNI AND MHSOB La Trobe University won this game convincingly by 50 points against their conquerors of two weeks previously, North Old Boys/St Patrick’s.

Despite the disparity of the scores, the game was one of high quality played in cold and damp Friday night conditions. La Trobe accustomed to a big ground were quicker to the ball and were able to run out the game much better as indicated by their five unanswered goals in the final quarter. Over night rain made the surface slippery for this early Sunday match. MHSOB led throughout as Kew found scoring difficult.

They were goalless in the first half and trailed by 26 points at half time. Two third quarter goals

by Kew cut their leeway to 16 points at the last change. The final quarter saw each team kick three goals as Kew was only able to cut their deficit by one point.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

PREVIEW OF THE PRELIMS SECTION 1 Hawthorn enters the game against Prahran/ Assumption with the more impressive record.

Hawthorn has won at each of their 2014 meetings: by 119points (Round 2); by 82 points (Round 8) and by 7 points (Round 11).

Significantly their third victory was gained despite marked inaccuracy and it was on the Righetti Oval, a bigger ground than Rathmines Road. Sportscover Arena has not been a happy hunting ground for Hawthorn whose losses there outnumber their victories. Despite any misgivings, I believe Hawthorn will be victorious today. They will outrun their older opponents, many of whom are in the twilight of distinguished careers. Hawthorn possesses a multi pronged forward line, whose members will benefit from the ball movement from the midfield.

SECTION 1 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 42/89%) Hawthorn v Prahran Assumption

SECTION 2 Richmond Central has defeated Therry Penola twice this season as well as playing the only tie of 2014 against them in Round 13. On form this year, Richmond Central must be favoured to win again.

Their defence has been the more impressive although over the 15 rounds there has not been a marked difference in points scored by each team.

Based on the form to date, I select Richmond Central. Surely the success story of 2014 (so far) has been that of Williamstown CYMS, a team considered unlikely to compete this season after early setbacks. They have finished second and will approach today’s major semi final knowing they hold a two to one winning advantage over the Animals including that in round 4 when the CY’s powered home to win by two points. Emmaus/St Leo’s won in Round 8 when their stars, Ben Walters, Mark Petryk and Robert Hughes were all on form.

In Round 13, Willy won by eight points to set the stage for today. I have memories of Emmaus/St Leo’s fading out of the 2013 finals with consecutive defeats. Could it happen again despite their galaxy of much travelled stars? I am taking the risk on the Animal’s fitness and select them to win.

SECTION 2 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 31/66%) Emmaus St Leos v Richmond Central

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

SECTION 3 North Old Boy’s/St Pat’s enter this match against MHSOB as firm favourites based on their three victories during the season: by 58 points (Round 1), by 49 points (Round 7) and by 92 points (Round 15). Ground size will certainly favour the second placed NOB/St Pat’s, who have several avenues to goal whereas The Unicorns have often relied on the efforts of Louis Meyer to keep their chances alive. I forecast a decisive victory to NOB/ St Patrick’s.
