OF COURSE I DREAMED OF BEING IN A ROCK N ROLL BAND WHEN I WAS YOUNG. But real life soon kicked in

and I found my true calling. For me, that was printing.

With me from day one was my William Buck advisor.

He’s more than an accountant, he stands watchdog over my business with everything from financial reports to negotiating with banks and planning for future growth. Most importantly, he keeps me focused and accountable, which for a creative guy is a great thing.

He’s meticulous with the books, his reports are written in terms I understand and he’s a mentor. I like that. So when the day is done and we close the books, I can relax and open up the guitar case to re-live a little of my misspent youth.

BEWARE THE RELEGATION BATTLE The VAFA has a lot to thank our forefathers for; a 10 team competition, 18 rounds with each team playing each other twice home and away, a final four and a double promotion and relegation has held us in good stead for over a century. Whilst jostling for a position in the four is a feature of any football season, the VAFA, the only metropolitan competition that has two up and two down, has just as much interest in the battle at the other end where clubs are staving off relegation.

Over the years these battles have become as legendary as the ascensions to premierships.

Last Saturday we saw the power of the dreaded relegation spur some teams on and achieve great victories. At the end of a season some clubs lie down whilst others respond and fight to the bitter end.

Old Scotch are the longest serving continuous Premier Section club, earning promotion from the then named B section in 1980. If you’ve been in Premier for 35 years you are not going down without a fight and that is exactly how they have responded in the past fortnight. A big win against Beaumaris followed by a sterling victory against third-placed Old Carey last Saturday. What made both of these all the more meritorious was that they were played away from their home ground in Camberwell.

Now it’s Collegians turn to respond. They play at home the next two weeks, taking on Beaumaris and Old Carey. Win them and University Blacks might be the next in the firing line. It sure will be a great finish to the William Buck Premier season.

Therry Penola hadn’t been in Premier C for a decade and were sitting in ninth position. After some mixed performances over the last month, their backs were to the wall. They were hosting Old Haileybury who were fourth but they too needed a win to shore up a finals berth. At three quarter time Haileybury led by five points but Therry

stormed home to kick five goals to nil and win the match. But alas, their rival in the relegation stakes, Old Camberwell, had the same intensity in them.

Across town at Williamstown, Old Camberwell was trailing the CYs by 15 points at three quarter time. One can make an assumption that the dreaded ‘R’ word was used by the coach and the troops rallied kicking nine goals to win by three.

You wouldn’t believe it but the Footy Operations team at the VAFA have done it again by fixturing Old Camberwell to take on Therry Penola this Saturday.

The other relegation result was in Division 2 with a great win by Bulleen Templestowe over third placed Old Geelong. OGs are still in the hunt for the double chance and would have counted on a victory however they were up against a determined team facing relegation. The Bullants were stoic in the last quarter and held on for a five point victory. Their battle with Old Mentonians will go down to the wire. Bottom placed Yarra Valley had their first win of the season but unfortunately for them it won’t be enough to save their place in Division 1.

THICK AND THIN This round sees a number of our clubs highlighting men’s health with the home team wearing navy blue socks and the away team light blue. Several VAFA players, including Simon Hogan from Uni Blacks, and Scott Sherwen, captain of old Scotch, have undertaken this initiative. The players are delighted that so many of the clubs have supported the cause. I attended the Hawthorn AFC breakfast, which focused on this ongoing and complex issue, and they are at the forefront of amateur clubs. As a result of their promotion most of Division 3 will also be wearing the socks.

All money raised will be donated to Beyond Blue and other mental health charities.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Andrew Leonard

SHARKS FANNING’D After three tumultuous seasons, we will bid farewell to Beaumaris from the top section of the VAFA. As is so often the case with the bottom side, the Sharks are set for an inglorious exit. Their big loss to Old Trinity reminiscent of Mick Fanning delivering a knock out blow, albeit Beaumaris were up against a team of Fannings. The Sharks have had five different coaches in their time in William Buck Premier, regardless of which way you spin it, that can’t have been ideal. This year has been more cathartic. Yes, there have been losses, but there hasn’t been a coach walk out.

Injuries have cruelled and the kids have been played. The Sharks will be back.

Old Carey has hit a wall. For much of this season they were the clear-cut alternative to the to top two. Since the departure of Sam Cust and the loss of Jarrod Reid, the Panthers have struggled. The draw to De La was the start, and at two goals up late in that game, they should have won. There is no shame in losing to Old Trinity, but the Panthers completely controlled that game in the first half.

However the loss to Old Scotch is a concern. A season that promised so much is quickly falling flat. Old Scotch ended Carey’s finals prospects in 2012 in thrilling circumstances. This time round it was more clinical. Sure, their finals chances are not over, but to lose in this manner doesn’t allow for much optimism.

One team that might offer a little more come September should they be able to make it is De La Salle. Last week I anointed them the form side of the competition, and their dismantling of Collegians did little to dispel that notion. The true test for De La Salle comes in the next fortnight.

They face Old Trinity away and St Bernard’s at home. If they pull off those wins, then they deserve to make it. Paul Satterly will no doubt be telling his troops to only worry about what they can control. If results go their way in other matches then they have it all to play for.

Collegians are in a mess. A game from safety and a percentage that would make even the most optimistic of supporters blush. Last year they made a sterling run to the grand final on the good 2

@ Lennytalk form of their veterans and the high standard of their youth. This year, their experienced players are not firing and too much has been left to too few. It’s hard to write them off yet, but they are on the path to being the second team in a row to have been runner up one year and relegated the next.

Two weeks ago, William Balme on VAFA Tragics suggested Xavs might not win another game for the year and miss a second straight finals series in a row. That would be the first time since 1989-90 that Xavs have missed back-to-back finals! Xavs have been highly competitive, but they have lacked that killer blow. Matt Handley has been the key, and at various times, Marcus Allan and John Shaw have delivered match-winning games, but the next line of talent is not quite ready to dominate.

That leaves MUFC and the top two without a commentary on. The top two have locked in a 2nd Semi date and given their match ups this year, it promises to be a beauty. Blacks will not defend their title this year. They may still sneak into the four, but they are not at the level required to counter all that the top two have to offer. Blues on the other hand do have what it takes to match it with the top two, but they are still susceptible to teams that bring their A-game.

Jordan Clarke is a seriously good player. Old Scotch had his services for the first time this year and he rewarded them with three goals. He wasn’t the reason Old Scotch beat Old Carey, but he was a factor in the win. The obvious reason was the Cardinals won the contested ball, executed their skills better and when they didn’t have the Sherrin, Scotch applied exhilarating defensive pressure on Carey across the ground, so much so that the Panthers turned it over repeatedly in dangerous places.

De La Salle stamped their authority on this contest early and whilst Collegians showed some WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Old Scotch v St Bernards Old Carey v Uni Blues Old Trinity v De La Salle Collegians v Beaumaris Uni Blacks v Old Xaverians

fight either side of the quarter time break the reality is they were never in this contest. Harrison added another three goals and Adrian Indovino booted four, whilst Matt Fieldsend again had plenty of the ball.

Seb Nicolosi has been spoken about on these pages before but his transformation into pivotal cog in the Old Trinity forward setup was completed with a career high seven-goal haul against Beaumaris. The fact he and many of his teammates are still eligible under 19 players is irrelevant in this green machine. Despite the seven goals, Nicolosi couldn’t quite take BOG honours. Again it was Jakob Steinhart who made the wing his own.

St Bernard’s forward line is bristling with talent and would be feared by most sides in community footy and given the Brisbane Lions lack of key position players, they would be more than serviceable against them too. Merrington (3), Jones (2) and Gleeson all booted goals, but so too

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Uni Blues couldn’t shake Old Xaverians until the last quarter. After trailing by a goal at the last change, Xavs, were in touch as they sought a first ever win in their red clash jumper. Blues had the answers though; they piled on five goals to none to make this win look a lot easier than it was.

Summers and Young have been the catalysts in recent weeks, but the efforts of Rippon, Williams and Mugavin cannot be denied. It’s a State midfield and one that possibly has the ability to take it to the top two. Blues now have third spot and it looks theirs to lose.

did Simon Caven. The centre half back has been spending more and more time in the forward half, just to give opposition coaches yet another headache. Blacks were never really out of this game, but playing catch up from a five goal to none opening quarter was always against them.

EDGAR THE LESS-THAN-PEACEFUL SPEARS 5 Round 15 was “one-out –of-the-box.” With three results of over 100 points, fortunately for the competition it is the first time it has happened this season. Fitzroy, AJAX and St Kevins were all big winners, while the Tigers just got over the Vultures. The battle of the “Olds” took place at Edwin Flack Field and unfortunately it was marred by a shocking injury to Tonners great Jon Perrett.

Perrett ran into the fence during the course of play early in the third quarter and his arm got caught in the pickets, resulting in a terrible break to his humerus bone in three places. According to club scribe Andrew Mullett, the game was held up for about 40 minutes while ambulance crews stabilised Perrett and took him to hospital.

The match was played out in near-darkness and Old Melburnians got up by 15 points. Everyone associated with the VAFA sends their best wishes to Jon Perrett for a speedy recovery.

Fitzroy and Hampton Rovers met at Brunswick Street, with both teams stuck in that uncomfortable place between the relegation zone and the top four. The first quarter gave no indication of the massacre to come. Fitzroy had more scoring shots but trailed by two points due to their inaccuracy in front of goal. They switched on in the second term, kicking seven goals to three to take a handy lead into the main break. The Rovers would have by no means considered themselves out of the game but the Roys were not done, adding seven more goals in the “Premiership quarter” while the Rovers could only manage a point. Taking a leaf out of St Kevins book, the Roys found an extra gear and finished with an eight goal final term to run out with a 104-point win. Fitzroy had twelve individual goalkickers, with Bisetto and Stevic both snagging four. On a dirty day for the Rovers, Leigh Fletcher and Sam Bradford again led the way, while McPherson and Jones added a couple each. The result doesn’t change much for either club, with the Roys still in sixth and the Rovers now one game in arrears, in seventh.

AJAX appears to have the best chance of the bottom six clubs to intrude on the seemingly settled top four, and they played like it against 4

Caulfield. They put the ‘Fields to the sword in a 16-goal first half with David Fayman and Jake Lew running riot in the forward line, kicking seventeen goals between them. Fortunately for Caulfield they were able to stem the flow somewhat in the second half, but still left with a 124-point loss. With three games remaining, if Caulfield are to have any chance of jumping to eighth and avoiding relegation, they have to beat fellow strugglers Mazenod. AJAX now sits one game and 37% outside the top four, so admittedly a finals berth would be a long shot but at least they’ve given themselves a chance.

The Tigers and Vultures had had contrasting leadins to their Round 15 clash and on paper most people wouldn’t have picked this match as one of the two close ones for the round. St Bedes/ Mentone are priming for finals action and had won three in a row, while all the Vultures had to show for their past month was a win against Mazenod.

The Tigers started stronger but the Vultures made sure they wouldn’t have it all their own way, levelling the scores at half time. The visitors kicked away again in the third quarter, opening up a two goal lead. The game was there for the Vultures and they finished with four goals. Unfortunately for the home side the Tigers managed to keep them at arm’s length, escaping with a three goal win to remain in outright second and kick clear of their main top-four challengers, Old Melburnians and Old Brighton. Nathan Papatsanis and Liam Platt combined for five goals for the Vultures while Tom Redmond and Michael Graham were their best afield. St Bedes/Mentone’s 14 goals came from nine different players, led by Tim Doherty and Luke Velluto with three each. The Tigers face a danger game against an AJAX unit who are knocking on the door of the top four, while Parkdale take on St Kevins.

Not much needs to be said in regards to the ‘contest’ between St Kevins and Mazenod. I think the scoreline speaks for itself. The Nodders managed one goal in the opening term and a point in the third as the SKOBs clocked up another 20+ goal match to run out winners by 153 points.

Mazenod simply had no answers as Phil Edgar helped himself to five goals and Troy McMaster and Henry Parkes kicked four each. Jaydyn Hill kicked the only goal for the Nodders, while Kieren McKeogh came in for his first game of the season and was among the best. Mazenod now plays Caulfield, which is a crucial match for both teams in the battle to avoid relegation.

As mentioned earlier, the match of the round between the Tonners and OMs was marred by a terrible injury to Old Brighton champ Jon Perrett.

Up to that point the game had been entertaining

and close, which is just as a third-vs-fourth contest should be. The Tonners got the jump early on, but a costly error saw them playing one man short for twelve minutes during the second quarter, which allowed the OMs to take a narrow lead at half time. The Jon Perrett injury happened about two minutes into the third quarter. Play was held up and there were conferences involving umpires, coaches and players about what would happen.

It was decided they would play on, and to the Tonners credit they kicked the first two goals after play resumed to keep themselves in the match. In the end, the OMs got up by 15 points and, at least for the moment, skipped ahead of the Tonners to third on the ladder. OMs now travel to Boss James to take on the Rovers while the Tonners host Fitzroy, neither of which is a guaranteed win for either side.

EAGLES OUTRIGHT LEADERS Marcellin came out on top of the battle between them and second-placed Monash Blues at Frearson Oval to move one game clear of their fellow finals rivals. A second half rampage from the Eagles turned the tide and gave Marcellin breathing room in top spot, whilst Monash sit even with Old Ivanhoe on 12 wins. The Hoes kept their chances alive to claim second with a win over Peninsula at home. Elsewhere, Old Haileyburians slipped up again, this time against Therry Penola, and now have a real task ahead of them to hold onto fourth. Old Camberwell moved out of the relegation zone and got the points against Williamstown CYMS on the road in a high scoring affair. And Oakleigh did it comfortably against PEGS at W.A Scammell Reserve.

After an even first quarter Monash Blues jumped Marcellin in the second term, booting four goals to one to take an 18-point buffer at the major break. But Monash’s offence completely died off after halftime with no more goals kicked by the Blues. Marcellin put six unanswered majors past Monash in the second half to run away with a season defining 22-point win. Nicholas Petering’s three first half goals weren’t enough for Monash to hold on, while Andrew Kay led Marcellin’s tally with two. Ashley Viney was best on ground in the victory for his effort and also contributed a goal.

Peninsula came out firing against Old Ivanhoe with a point to prove in the race for a finals berth with three quick goals in the opening quarter. The Hoes answered the call and still managed to take out the term with five goals to four. The scoring dried up in the second as a result of Ivanhoe unable to take its chances as the Pirates closed the deficit to one goal. The Hoes got a muchneeded gap by three quarter time of 22-points.

But Peninsula didn’t drop off going into the last as they outscored Old Ivanhoe. It wasn’t enough however as Ivanhoe held off the fanatic Pirates by 13-points. Ollie Parks was B.O.G for Old Ivanhoe 6

as a great marking target up forward.

Therry Penola continue to scrap in what formerly appeared to be a fruitless attempt to remain in Premier C next year, and at the same time hurt Old Haileyburians’ finals aspirations. The two fought out a tight three quarters with no one able to take the ascendancy with confidence. The Bloods led by five at the final change but a spark from the Lions in the fourth quarter pushed the game in their favour. Two quick goals from Matt Costello to start the fourth quarter gave Therry the lead, while a goalless term for Haileybury ended their day. The inclusion of Jarrod Bannister proved pivotal with his five goals being the difference in the 23-point win.

In a high scoring meeting between Williamstown CYMS and Old Camberwell, accuracy proved key. The Wellers’ had one more scoring shot than the CY’s but ran away with a 21-point win.

Williamstown looked like they could’ve ended the game in the first quarter, with eight goals to start the game. Old Camberwell reeled in the deficit at half time but it wasn’t until the last quarter that the Wellers managed to take the lead. In a shootout between forwards, Old Camberwell’s James Howells came out on top against CY’s known goal scorer Nicholas Ebinger.

Howells finished with nine goals and won the game for Old Camberwell off the back of his performance.

Oakleigh’s last minute effort to play finals remains a mathematical possibility having knocked off PEGS at home. It will require some luck as external results have to fall their way but with a better percentage than fourth placed Old Haileyburians, it is possible. Trevor Bromley led the charge at home and bagged seven goals against the Bombers as the Krushers made light work of PEGS. Aaron Cloke was also strong in PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD Old Camberwell v Therry Penola Marcellin v Old Ivanhoe PEGS v Williamstown CYMS Peninsula v Monash Blues Old Haileyburians v Oakleigh

attack with five majors whilst Jack Davidson was named best afield in the 59-point victory.

This week, rivals Marcellin and Old Ivanhoe do battle, and if the Hoes are to prove a real finals contender they have to win, although I expect the Eagles to hold onto the points at home. Old Camberwell host Therry Penola, both coming off promising victories and both 4-11, with one bound for relegation. I’m tipping Old Camberwell to jump to safety with the win. Monash Blues travel to Peninsula where I expect the Blues will rebound and take the chocolates. Old Haileyburians play off against Oakleigh and the Bloods will break their three game losing streak and knock off the Krushers. PEGS play home to Williamstown CYMS and the CYs should bring home to victory here.

THICK AND THIN ROUND

This year, Round 16/17 of the VAFA competition is dedicated to the THiCK & THiN campaign. Every club from William Buck Premier and Premier B, as well as a further 18 from Premier C – Division 4, has committed to partaking in the round, with home sides set to wear dark blue socks while away teams don sky blue.

Led by a group of seven VAFA players, Thick and Thin aims to create awareness surrounding men’s mental health within the VAFA and normalise mental health concerns by encouraging team mates to have a conversation. One of the leaders of the movement is Simon Hogan, former Geelong Cats midfielder and a pivotal part of University Blacks’ premiership in William Buck Premier last season, who experienced a personal battle with depression during his AFL career. In an article featured on the VAFA website, Hogan bravely acknowledge that “it was very tough to go through (depression) but I learnt a hell of a lot about myself, how footy clubs run and how important

they are to young men’s lives.” Hogan emphasised the importance of teammates, and an inclusive environment, when dealing with severe mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, or even just as a sounding board for the daily troubles that we all encounter.

One of the key reasons for introducing THiCK & THiN to the VAFA was also outlined by Hogan in this interview. “I guess that’s what I’d like to see for any young man or woman who plays any club sport; to feel that same level of support and to feel like it’s a really positive connection that you’re able to maintain even while you’re not going so well.”

THiCK & THiN aims to raise money and awareness for mental health issues, and this weekend’s initiative is proudly supported by BLK, Lithocraft and headspace. In addition, we commend the clubs representing the movement this weekend, and all those who are encouraging and supporting such a valuable movement.

NATIONAL INCLUSION CARNIVAL The second installment of the National Inclusion Carnival was held last week, and the VAFAUA were once again asked to supply umpires for the event. The carnival is a competition amongst the Australian states and is played by footballers with intellectual disabilities. It is a spectacular opportunity for players, umpires and officials alike to participate in a carnival fought in magnificent spirit. You can read more about the carnival in this week’s Umpire’s Corner.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

A COMMENT ON MENTAL HEALTH In conjunction with THiCK & THiN round, the VAFA is part of an effort to reduce the stigma on mental health issues within society. Slowly but surely, Australian society is realising how important it is to have an honest conversation about our mental health, whether it be our state of mind, the stress we are under at work or at home, our relationships or just a chat about whether we are doing OK. For men, it is often hard to acknowledge just how much we are struggling under the weight of the constant pressures of life, and as we repress these feelings, it is common for them to eventually overwhelm us or force us to look to other means in order to bury them deeper within our psyche.

So how do you broach the topic? How can we break the stigma of discussing our emotions, feelings and problems and perceiving it as a personal weakness? There appears to be a prevailing fear amongst many individuals of acknowledging how powerful our minds are. Pushing the perceived ‘negative’ emotions to the back instead of finding ways to channel them, whether the said emotions be discomfort, frustration, disappointment, sadness, anger or a whole mixture tied in together is fraught with danger. You might be able to fool those around you and you can even initially fool yourself, but inevitably it will catch up with you. Opening up to a friend, significant other, professional help or in this case, a teammate may seem daunting and could potentially expose you to discomfort, but in the long run it might well have a dramatically positive effect on your wellbeing and approach to life. It could also lead you to understand the person on the other side of the conversation’s own issues in dealing with mental health.

The THiCK & THiN campaign, amongst a host of other initiatives within Australia and across the globe, aims to create a landscape that normalises mental health concerns, provide a support base for those in need and open up conversation lines. THiCK & THiN is specifically targeting men’s mental health within the VAFA, something that is of exceptional importance, and a player-led initiative that should be celebrated. With the growing number of men and women living with depression and/or anxiety in Australia, it is more important than ever to check in with ourselves, and those around you and ask ‘Am I doing OK?’ THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

HAWTHORN AMMOS HOST MENTAL HEALTH BREAKFAST

Hawthorn AFC has proven itself to be one of the VAFA leaders in clubs supporting community progress of our perceptions of mental illness and the way we support those struggling with the dreaded black dog and other ailments. Six years ago in the shadow of tragic circumstances, the club decided to act and introduced an annual event in order to raise awareness at the club and in the community to help prevent further tragedies.

Hawthorn hosted a breakfast over the weekend where the aforementioned Simon Hogan was guest speaker, as well as GM of Beyond Blue Andrew Johnston. In addition to this, the club hosted their annual Mental Health Awareness matches at Rathmines Reserve against Glen Eira in their slick looking strips.

VAFA PLAYLISTS – THE RELEGATION BATTLE

This week on the award winning FTLOG segment, we explore another set of songs that perfectly complement an aspect of our great game of footy.

Certain teams are going through the morose period of a relegation battle, one that causes glumness and condemnation in defeat and hope and faith in victory. As such, this is a playlist for the times. Ben Howard’s The Fear sets the perfect tone, followed by Tame Impala’s Feels Like We Only Go Backwards to confuse our souls, then we head back into the archives with Van Morrison’s And It Stoned Me into classic Rod Stewart with Maggie May, finishing with the feminine touch of Kimbra with Two Way Street.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

THE RUN HOME FOR RELEGATION IN WILLIAM BUCK As VAFA CEO Michael Sholly stated in his editorial this week, William Buck Premier is raging with narratives both at the top and down the bottom of the table. Particularly prominent is the remarkable battle to stay in the competition in 2016. With Beaumaris condemned to Premier B next season, it is now a battle between 5 for the feared 2nd last place. Although the possibility of it is exceptionally slim, the Old Xaverians are still a chance to play Premier B next season. They won’t, as you’ll see in my predictions that follow, but it is still a remarkable battle that rages on.

Whilst those 5 teams battle to avoid relegation, 4 of them are still in hunt for finals, in addition to the top 4. That Uni Blacks-Collegians game could potentially be the most crucial game of the H&A season.

My predictions are based on previous results and form, so it is with much trepidation that I tip against form with Old Scotch, who were excellent against Old Carey.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

Congratulations to Old Haileyburians’ HAMISH MCLAUCHLAN – A magnificent career that started in 2001, Hamish’s many honours include the 2006 A Grade Premiership, two years as Club captain, 2012 Senior B&F and State representative. One of the Club’s greatest-ever defenders, McLauchlan’s versatility has been used by many of his coaches. Hammer’s toughness was illustrated when he was diagnosed with a serious illness at the end of 2013, but bounced back to play every game in 2014. Hammer is still at the top of his game and is one of the Bloods’ best players.

250

Congratulations to PEGS FC’s ANDREW FRAZER – Andrew has been involved at PEGS FC since his father coached the club in the mid 90s, often running water for the Seniors before commencing to play with the club as a school boy. Andrew captained the club to the 2002 U19’s Premiership and has been a regular member of the Senior side since, playing in the 2008 Reserves Premiership. A life member of the club, Andrew always sets the right example for the group from a preparation and fitness perspective and often runs the club’s preseason program.

200

Congratulations to PEGS FC’s ROBERT BADDELEY – After one year in the U19’s, Badds quickly graduated to the Senior team as the number one ruckman, where he has maintained that position for the past ten years. Rob has been honoured as both an All-Australian and VAFA representative. Between 2006 and 2008, Rob was a key driver in the club’s elevation to A-section and is one of only a select few to have played 200 games for the club. His achievement is enhanced by the fact that he has played the majority of them as a crucial member of the Senior side.

100

Congratulations to Old Xaverian DANIEL HARANGOZO – Gozo joined the club in 2010 in the Under 19s and played his first Senior match in 2012. Gozo has played in a Grand Final every year since joining the club, winning two Premierships in 2011 (Under 19 Premier) and 2013 (Reserves), and is a very popular player at the club. Well done Gozo on achieving this milestone, hopefully many more games in the ‘red and black’ to come.

100

Congratulations to SKOB FC’s ADAM FENECH – Adam joined SKOB FC in 2007 but has missed 3 seasons on his way to reaching 100 games. In his first season, he played in all 18 Under 19 games. Since returning to SKOB in 2013, Adam has been a regular member of the Reserves side, including finals appearances in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Adam is a fearless competitor with un-matched work ethic.

100

Congratulations to Monash Blues’ CHRIS GODSIL – Chris played his 100th game last Saturday. Starting in 2009, Chris earned the respect of his peers and coaches and was made Reserves Captain for the next four seasons. He gives 100% each week and would run through a brick wall for his mates. The whole Club will be smiling with you this week as they reflect on what a great clubman and role model you are. Congratulations.

100

Congratulations to Swinburne Uni’s SCOTT ASHTON – The versatile utility can and has played most positions on the ground. He’s overcome serious injuries, so this achievement is testament to his will and determination. Scotty has been a great contributor with a good footy brain, and it be would be no surprise to see him coach his own team one day. He was a member the 2012 Senior Grand Final side and regular Senior player over the past six years.

100

Congratulations to MHSOBFC’s ALBERT KUANG – A graduate of the MHSOBFC Under 19 side, Albie’s durability has seen him race to the 100 game mark. A dangerous left footer, who continues to develop his game, Albie is one of the most popular names read out at Thursday night selection.

Congratulations to Old Mentonians’ BEN PARKER – Since joining the Panthers Ben has been a stalwart of the Club, both on and off the field. Ben is a strong and resolute defender who loves a goal. He is also the driving force behind the Club’s social activities and is the reigning best Club member. Well done Ben, and thanks for your contribution.

Congratulations to West Brunswick AFC’s BILL IRVING – Bill arrived mid-2004 and soon took the Club by storm, winning five Club B&F’s, two league B&F’s, a Premiership in 2008, and made a VAFA representative team - all before reaching 100 games. Between ‘09 and ‘14, Bill spent a year with Port Melbourne in the VFL, two years in Premier with OM’s, and two years with Warburton in the YVMDFL. Now back at Park Street, we wish him well in his 101st game and beyond.

Congratulations to NOBS/St Pats’ LACHLAN EZARD – Co-captain Lachlan ‘Fossil’ Ezard played his 100th game last weekend, and is still running rings around guys 10 years his junior.

Congratulations to Old Xaverian JAMES FORREST – After joining the Club in 2013 in the Under 19 Premier team, James was unlucky not to play in a Premiership in his first year, losing the Grand Final by a kick. James has had a fantastic year kicking 28 goals to date, also playing some games in the Reserves. Well done James!

Congratulations to St Bernards’ TOM SULLIVAN – A product of St Bernard’s Junior program, Tom was a member of the 2010 Calder Cannons Premiership team before returning to the ‘Snakepit’ where his lightning pace, courage and clever ball use have made him a stand-out performer, winning the past two Club B&F’s and earning Big V selection.

Each player makes an important contribution to SKOB both on and off the field.

50

Congratulations to Old Haileyburians’ NICK BOURKE – Nick played his 50th game for the club last weekend, in a career that stretches back to 2006 but only resumed this year after a fouryear absence. An adaptable utility, Bourkey has height and loads of determination on his side, and has been a very welcome addition to the team.

50

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian’s JAMES BARRIE – A former soccer goalkeeper, ‘Baz’ has developed into a very good knock and around the ground ruckman, and key position forward. James has a unique drop-punt kicking style which enables him to kick long and accurately, and he is enjoying his best season yet.

50

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian’s TOM CLANCY – A utility player able to play in the midfield or as a determined and hard working defender, ‘Clance’ has served the Saints well over a number of seasons. Tom is a good clubman and has been rewarded for his persistence with a well deserved club milestone.

RAMBUNCTIOUS BULLANTS BELIE SNAKES AND LADDERS No matter how much you dislike a certain side, seeing a team go through the year without a win is not a great look. It doesn’t reflect well on the competition and the club itself. That’s why I managed a wry grin when I saw that Yarra Valley had pulled off their first win of the season against NOBS/St Pats. The Bushrangers have had a torrid season this year and will have to restart their attack on the VAFA in Division 2 in 2016; however grabbing a win before they push onto Mad Monday would be hugely relieving for the exasperated coaching staff and playing group.

Additionally, Ormond tightened their grip on premiership favouritism with a strong last quarter display in their win over Kew and Bulleen kept their hopes of survival alive with a massive upset over 3rd placed Old Geelong.

We start our recap with the Clive Dubya for the round 16 contest between ladder leaders Ormond (1st) and Kew (2nd). Earlier in the season it was Kew who demolished Ormond at E. E. Gunn in one of the most impressive performances of the season.

This time it was Ormond who maintained the rage and kicked away to a 39 point win. The scoreboard certainly doesn’t reflect how pressurised the contest was, as the scores were even at ¾ time.

Furthermore, only 5 goals were kicked up until the final change showing how scrappy the conditions were under foot at Victoria Park. Neither side was particularly formidable in attack, presenting itself more as a curtain raiser to the Australia-New Zealand Rugby Union clash than a game between the two top sides. The dynamic of the game changed in the final 15 minutes as Ormond’s hard running midfielders and flankers turned the screws and ran over the Bears. Matthew Oaten was particularly strong in defence for Ormond, whilst William Simon was one of the catalysts for their late charge. Dimitri Fasoulis was my personal pick for best on ground, damaging on the rebound and in attack. For Kew, Henderson was outstanding in defence, putting the clamps on Tahana whilst Margaritas and Jones tried hard. What did we learn? Well, Bulleen beating Old Geelong means that these two will more than likely meet in three weeks time. That’s exciting.

Returning to Yarra Valley’s first win for the season, it was a consolidated effort from the struggling Bushrangers that saw them overrun a tired and depleted NOBS/St Pats side. Yarra Valley controlled proceedings for much of the game; with only a third quarter burst giving the Griffons some hope.

Simon Yeo’s job on Matt Keown was remarkable, and proved the decisive figure in the clash. Jordan Canham kicked 3 as the home dressing rooms at Doncaster Reserve nearly had the roof blown off with a passionate rendition of the club theme song. For the Griffons, it is clear that they will not make the finals this year and they have quite a few issues to sort through if they desire to become a force again. Chris Horsley kicked 4 goals and Nick Holt worked tirelessly to keep them in the contest but it wasn’t to be in a most disappointing loss for the club.

In one of the biggest upsets of the season (perhaps only bettered by Bulleen’s win over St Mary’s Salesian), Bulleen enhanced their giant killer credentials with a victory over Old Geelong by 5 points. Old Geelong will be ruing their implosive accuracy on goal in the last quarter, kicking 3.8 to Bulleen’s 4.1. They had every chance to threaten second spot with a win, but it was Cherbakof who was once again unbelievable, kicking 7 goals.

The man won the game off his own boot and has averaged more than 4 goals a game this season.

He wasn’t alone in the Ted Ajani special, with Paul Florance and Jack Cowell also pivotal in the win. For Old Geelong, it will be a matter of what went wrong. The loss has prevented them from equaling Kew’s points tally in the bid to steal 2nd spot. Dan Freeman was their best, and Bird kicked 3 in place of the negated Wood who couldn’t get one between the big sticks.

After Prahran’s finals chances had ended last week in their loss to Old Geelong, it was Whitefriars who DIVISION 1 — TIPS IN BOLD Old Geelong v NOBS/St Pats Yarra Valley v Ormond Prahran Assumption v St Mary’s Salesian Old Mentonians v Whitefriars Kew v Bulleen Templestowe

became the lone soldier to threaten St Mary’s Salesian’s hold on 4th. As unlikely as it seemed, with the game in the balance at Toorak Park, the ‘Friars dared to dream. Unfortunately, from half time a rejuvenated Prahran Assumption swiftly drew their sword and decapitated all hopes of a Whitefriars’ rendezvous with September. Rick Ellis was the Two Blues’ focal point in attack, kicking 6, with strong support from John Robbins who booted 3. Alex Simpson also starred in the 36-point win. For Whitefriars, Sean Currie kicked 2 and was awarded the six-pack as his side now plays only for their own personal pride.

St Mary’s Salesian controlled proceedings from start to finish in a scrappy affair at Ferndale Park.

Old Mentonians proved an honest opponent for the 4th placed side, but could not match the class of Darcy Grant and ‘Bucky’ Puruntatameri who kicked 5, and returned to his electrifying best.

It wasn’t champagne football but the win has secured a 3rd successive finals appearance for the club. Kyle Conlon backed his strong performance

DIVISION 1

Willie Bee’s Clive Waterhouse MOTR for Round 17 Clive likes Toorak Park, as there is always plenty of talent on offer both on and off the field. Prahran Assumption is playing purely for pride, however the twos’ game between the two clubs is a serious focal point. Clive is tipping two from two for the St Mary’s Salesian boys, but in very tight affairs.

ELTHAM HAND NORTHERN THE SUNDAY BLUES Eltham took another step closer to successive finals births with a dominant 53-point win over Northern Blues at Eltham College. The win saw the Turtles leapfrog the Blues and secure fourth spot. Eltham’s performance may just be its best of the year, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Blues on the other hand will be rueing the loss, which has put a serious dent in their quest for a third successive flag. The Blues are definite finals smokies. Their best is well and truly good enough to match it with Ivanhoe and St John’s, but unfortunately, they haven’t displayed it consistently enough away from home. Northern’s season is on the line this week as it heads to Garvey Oval in a game that they simply must win. Eltham are in a similar position.

Two doesn’t go into one, and both Eltham and Northern can’t afford to drop any of their final two games of the year. The Turtles head to the inner southeast to face a plucky Melbourne High, and will need to bring the same defensive intent as it did last week. Eltham held Northern to a mere five goals, and banged on 13 of their own. The Blues will be hoping it was just a blip on the radar, while the Turtles may be hitting their straps at the right time of year.

Richmond Central threw a spanner in the works as it held on for a nail biting nine-point win over Old Paradians at Kevin Bartlett Reserve. The win all but consolidates the Snakes’ spot in Division 2 for 2016 while the loss means the Raiders are still yet to cement their top-four spot. In a tight first-half, goals came at a premium and both had their fair share of momentum. Richmond held sway by tenpoints at the main change, and with their finals’ spot on the line, the Raiders lifted accordingly.

They slotted five-goals-to-two in the third-term and reversed the deficit and took a five-point lead into the final term. In a pulsating last quarter, the Snakes bagged a match-winning five goals to three and sealed a memorable win. They were led 18

superbly by Jake Munro (5) who worked brilliantly in concert with Bugeja (5). The Boundy brothers combined for eight goals as David bagged six, and Michael slotted two. Parade is in an unenviable position where it now must win its final two games against Northern and South Melbourne to secure their top-four spot. Richmond can’t make the topfour, but last week, they may have helped shape it. They’ll go in warm favourites this week against Elsternwick, and have the opportunity to end the year with eight wins.

Ivanhoe spearhead Mitch Lovell recorded a career-best bag of 13 as the Hoes demolished lowly Elsternwick by 129 points. Lovell was handsomely supported by Reuben BlackmoreMoore who bagged six and will provide plenty of headaches for the St Johns’ coaching this week.

The game went according to plan for the opening three quarters, and in the last, the floodgates burst open. The Hoes stormed home with an 11-goal-to-three and are in scintillating form. The win beautifully sets up this week’s top-of-thetable with St John’s in what looms as an intriguing encounter. It’s extremely likely that the two sides will face each other in a fortnight, and may play their cards close to their chest. Elsternwick finds itself at the other end of the spectrum, as the Wicks find themselves dangling dangerously close to relegation. This week they face Richmond Central, and if they’re any chance at dragging themselves out of relegation, they must win.

Melbourne High was dealt a scare in its hardfought eight-point win over cellar-dweller South Melbourne. Little more than a goal separated DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD Monash v South Melbourne Elsternwick v Richmond Central Old Paradians v Northern Blues

both sides for most of the day, with Unicorn’s “Panda” Hawking’s bag of six proving the difference. South District’s came agonisingly close to recording its second win of the year, and now are anchored to the bottom of the ladder.

After a few lean years, Melbourne High’s ability to consolidate its position in Div 2 will please the Unicorn’s hierarchy. This week they host the Turtles, who have finals on their mind. Souths face possible relegation partner Monash, in a crucial clash for both sides.

late season form and jumped the Gryphons and controlled the match for the remainder. Holding a six goal lead at the main change, St John’s blew the Gryphons out-of-the-park with 11 goals in 15 minutes to start the third and effectively ended the contest. Monash toiled away manfully but was simply outclassed by a St John’s outfit that is priming itself for the post-season. The JOCs this week have an interesting game against ladderleaders Ivanhoe, who beat St John’s handsomely earlier in the season. Monash’s game this week against South Melbourne is intriguing for more dire reasons. One seems destined for relegation and as the Gryphons sit perilously close to the relegation zone, they would want to lift for the occasion.

DIVISION 3

IT’S HEATING UP Round 16 had everything. Blowouts, tough contests and a come from behind victory to see the Animals remain undefeated. Some teams have fallen out of finals contention and it’s up to Swinburne to finalise sixth. To the games:

AQUINAS DEF. BY EMMAUS ST. LEO’S Despite no rain, a wet and slippery day at Aquinas College saw an epic battle for the four points.

Aquinas had nothing to lose and everything to gain. The biggest lead was at half time when the Animals led by 16 points but Aquinas came back with a 5 goal straight quarter to be a point down at 3-quarter time. Accurate goal kicking saw the Bloods get to an 11-point lead late in the last quarter but the Animals put in a surge to take out a two-point victory. Nathan Baranello (2 goals) was best for the Animals, in a strong display in the mud. No one seemed to be able to stop Bloods star, Zac Parr with 5 goals. Chris Beluszar had 4 goals for the Animals. As the old cliché (sort of) goes, this could be the loss they had to have, but didn’t.

UHS-VU DEF. LA TROBE UNI La Trobe needed a strong start if they were going to be any chance and that’s exactly what they did finishing the quarter up by 9. However, a poor second quarter let the Vultures regain control to be up 16. The second half was even with both teams trading goals with the Vultures being able to maintain the buffer or the rest of the match.

Stephen Leitch was rebounding terrifically and Matt Ogle was dominating in the ruck, giving La Trobe first use. UHS did enough to run out 12-point winners. Ben Collins led all scorers with 3 majors and Dean Benstead was BOG. WEST BRUNSWICK DEF. SWINBURNE UNI At home, West Brunswick started well and was able to put a good break at quarter time against the Razorbacks. Swinny weren’t at full strength and in conjunction with a few early injuries; their ability to make rotations was reduced to minimal.

The Magpies would have been pleased with their 20

@gavsouthern free scoring across the 4 quarters. This is only the 4th time this year that they have scored more goals than points. For the Razorbacks, David Webb was the only multiple goal kicker with 2 and Rich Lugg was their best. Scott Hulm (7 goals), Dylan Muscat (5) and Matt Holmes (4) had a field day in front of the big sticks for the Magpies. Russell George was BOG.

HAWTHORN DEF. GLEN EIRA It was a hard fought win for the Hawks over Glen Eira in their Mental Health Awareness match at Rathmines Rd. Glen Eira’s Cris Massis (1 goal) was also celebrating his 200th game milestone.

The margin was never more than 2 or 3 goals for the whole game, as BOG Sam Gold seemingly brought his own footy and was prolific with the pill, hitting up Jason Ince and Richard Ogge consistently on their way to combining for 8 goals (5/3 respectively). Glen Eira were fighting to save a finals chance and never went away, getting to within a goal in the last quarter before the Hawks pulled away to win by 3 goals. Todd Richardson was best for the Saints and Julius Waras-Carstensen led with 3 goals POWER HOUSE DEF. ELEY PARK The Sharks headed out to Ross Gregory Oval to meet Power House. The Sharks started off well, going into the quarter time break up by 10 points after making the most of our opportunities whilst Power House was inaccurate with their shots on goal. The Sharks did not start well in the second quarter with Adam Collett getting on top of their defence kicking 3 of his 4 goals. Then, like clockwork, the Sharks’ injuries began to mount in the 3rd quarter with skipper, Chris Marsiglio and halfback Chris Brown both going down. With the fizz out of the game, the Sharks kicked a few in the last to garner some respect but Powerhouse’s quick ball movement and superior skill on the day proved to be decisive.

the Sharks, Ben Circosta (3 goals) was man of the match for Power House.

PREVIEW Round 17 and 2 rounds to play. The VAFA has saved the best rounds to last, beginning last week.

Some even match-ups in which anyone can win.

To the games for this week: Aquinas (3rd) hosts a well-rested Albert Park (8th).

Albert Park is playing for pride and Aquinas should have real belief after the one that got away last week. Aquinas.

Bruce McAvaney would be saying “delicious” about Emmaus St. Leo’s (1st) vs. West Brunswick (2nd) and my clear match of the round. It’s anybody’s game. The game features the best attack taking on the best defence. The Animals

DIVISION 3

Swinburne Uni (6th) hosts Uhs-Vu (5th). A win for Swinny provided they kick straight will sew up finals for 2015.

Eley Park (10th) hosts Hawthorn (4th). For the Sharks, it’s a win at all costs to save them from relegation but, unfortunately, it’s not going to be.

Hawthorn.

La Trobe Uni (11th) have the bye, will remain on the bottom and will finish the year off travelling to Hawthorn.

Mathematically, the Saints can still do it but it rests on Swinny’s shoulders. No harm in the Saints snatching this victory anyway.

DIVISION 4

Rich Hummerson

TO BYE OR NOT TO BYE The Bye week. It can be a blessing or a curse.

For sides that have already cemented their seat upon the finals express, it’s undoubtedly a blessing. A chance for the players to rest their weary calves, book a brief sojourn to Bali (providing the ash cloud buggers off ), enjoy a bit of team bonding, collaborate on a boy band idea to raise funds for footy trip and take stock before their shot at the ultimate prize.

But for the sides climbing their way up the ladder, the bye makes for drastically different reading. Riding the wave of momentum, the bye proves to be an annoying roadblock, stifling the much-needed momentum as they head towards the end of the home and away season, and with it, the hopeful pull of finals.

With the challenges an 11-side competition throws up, time will tell which sides have negotiated the bye weeks better.

With juggernauts Canterbury and Westbourne on the sidelines this week, it allowed sides of the ilk of Point Cook and Box Hill North to step out from under the radar, and bathe in the glory traditionally afforded to the top tiers of the ladder.

Box Hill North played host to Masala at Elgar Park on Saturday. In a romance novel, the proclaimed champion of multiculturalism in football would have stormed passed Box Hill and claimed the points during Multicultural Round. Unfortunately, the picturesque meander through the leafy eastern suburbs of Melbourne would be as good as it got for the travelling Masala, going down by 127 points. Given the arctic breeze that appears to have plagued Melbourne for the past six weeks, the conditions at Elgar Park were sublime, with a great display of skills on show for the unusually large crowd.

@Richie_Humm Daniel Penny was formidable up for throughout the day, kicking seven, a total that would have been much higher had he not been suffering from a case of the yips in front of the big sticks.

Nicholas Lang played his best game for the club to date; some estimates on his disposal count reaching above 50. While Leon Desmond played a brilliant second fiddle role to Penny, kicking four and unselfishly dishing many more off. For Masala who tried all day, It was Bradley Park and Samuel Freeman who impressed.

North Brunswick, Parside and Mount Lilydale are all fighting it out for the last two rungs in the top six. As much as I hate the adage, the Parkside vs Mount Lilydale at Pilcher Park, was most certainly an eight point game. With Mount Lilydale’s season having more peaks and troughs than a night out with Ricky Nixon (toot toot), it’s hard to ever predict their form, and despite coming up against a side lower than them on the ladder, they crawled out of the gates. Parkside were the polar opposite, piling on the first four goals of the game and building what would prove an unassailable lead. Scott McLaren notched up what must be BOG number 13 this season, clearing the ball at will and making incredibly light work of the throng of opponents he endured throughout the day. Timothy Wise was back to his usual lofty standards and Darren Gresham put in his best performance to date for the club. Despite the thrashing, Mount Lilydale was buoyed by performances from Daniel Dimitriou, Nick Hartrup and Adam Thorne.

Their season looks to be coming to an end, with finals appearing almost out of reach after a very disappointing month.

As all games are at this end of the season, it was DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 50/83%) Masala v Parkside North Brunswick v Westbourne Gr Canterbury v South Mornington Box Hill North v Point Cook Manningham v bye

a must win for North Brunswick as they left the trendy north and headed to the industrial west for their clash against Point Cook. Leaving their fixies and beard oil behind, the Bulls headed across the Westgate brimming with confidence.

The canvas to announce themselves as genuine contenders awaited. Unfortunately for the Bulls, the return trip was far less enthusiastic, heading back north with a 39-point loss in tow. After a lamentable first term, the Bulls rallied in the 2nd term, and went into the sheds only 2 kicks down.

After a brutal address nearly worthy of a YouTube upload from the Point Cook coaching staff, the Bulldogs came out firing, flexing their bicep and running out comfortable victors. William Dawson was sensational in front of goal for Point Cook kicking 7 goals, and Mason Kip had the ball on a string. For North Brunswick, it was Luke Mahoney and Peter Putler who stood tall.

The Match of the Round for round 17 is potentially season-defining. Box Hill North hosts Point Cook in a clash that, with a win, could see Box Hill North lock up 4th and Point Cook become a genuine chance at top 2. With Old Westbourne due to take on Canterbury in round 18 and Point Cook hooked up to face Mt Lilydale in the final round, a win could see them avoid playing Box Hill North in the first week of the finals. They’ll win by 23 points.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 SEB NICOLOSI – OLD TRINITY Seb has flourished at the club since his OT journey began in 2013.

Seb plays purely as a forward renowned for playing a lot taller than he is, with contested marking a feature of his game. When the ball is seemingly going through for a behind, Seb has a habit of plucking a mark right on the goal line. Seb’s notorious for causing headaches for opposition backlines because of his versatility; he’s classy below his knees but even better aerially. We think Seb plays in a similar mould to Luke Bruest from Hawthorn – when he gets the opportunity to kick a goal he usually makes it count! In his first year at club he played six senior games and kicked 20 goals including a haul of six in his second game. Last year he managed four senior appearances before playing out the remainder of the year in the premiership winning under-19 team, of which he was an integral member. As the clubs leading goal kicker currently with 29 to his name, he’s again demonstrated the value he brings to the side. He’s a muchloved member of the Old Trinity fraternity and we hope he can have a big impact in September this year!

* 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 Premier A Section, Old Xaverians went into second place on the ladder when they defeated De La Salle narrowly 11.7 to 8.13. De La appeared to be in control during the second and third quarters but a 5 goal last quarter by the Xavs was critical in a relatively low scoring match. Best – Colbert, Biddlecombe, Prowse, Shaw, Ball, Smith (OX) and Gotch, Lowe, Collins, Harris, Williams, Moloney (DLS).

In Premier B, Old Carey’s heavy defeat of Old Ivanhoe, 16.15 to 5.5, put them ahead of top team St Kevins who faltered at the hands of Old Haileybury. Carey had their game sewn up by half time (9.4 to 2.3). While the top two teams were almost certain of their finals participation, there were 5 teams in the running to fill third and fourth spot.

Three players were acknowledged as members of the 200 games club in this round. Manningham Cobra’s Joey “Junior” Trinchi was known for his fierce determination to get the hard ball in and under the pack and for constantly placing his body on the line. He was the ultimate team player and had already been honoured with life membership of his club. Along the way “Junior” had also been part of the leadership group and had won a number of individual awards.

De La’s Peter “George” Hamilton had been a captain, best and fairest, premiership player, State rep and had been in the leadership core at De La for years.

Brendan Colville was a key member of Marcellin’s B Section premiership in 2008 and was a committed and courageous player and leader. Usually a small defender, he was also known as one of the best tacklers for the Eagles.

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 There was a clear difference between the top five teams in A Section and the bottom five teams.

Old Scotch were in 5th place with 10 wins and out of the top four only on percentage. Best of the bottom five was St Bernards with only 5 wins, the only interest for these clubs would be to see who would join bottom placed St Kevins to go to B Section. There was a crucial gap opening up between one and two with Old Haileybury smashing Old Melburnians 18.16 to 42

5.16 and because Old Xavs failed narrowly against Marcellin, 16.9 to 15.17, Haileyburians were now 6 points clear on top. The Xavs had fought back well in the final term with 7 goals and yet Marcellin always seemed in control.

In B Section, Caulfield Grammarians stayed in touch with 4th place with a win against North Old Boys 22.11 to 11.12. Brett Sinclair and Ben Gross with 12 goals between them led the way for the Grammarians and 9 goals to 1 in the final term was impressive. Best – Frater, Pennycuick, Sinclair (8), Foote, Hammond, Knight (CG) and Maplestone, Sheehan (4), Alsop, Flanders, Hosking, Tonkin (NOBS). Caulfield were only 4 points behind MHSOB (4th) and enjoyed a better percentage.

Under 19 Section 2 coaches were – Phiv Demetriou (Banyule-Viewbank), John Burke (Beaumaris), Sam Calogero (Caulfield Grammarians), Anson Brownless (Old Camberwell, Rob French (Old Carey), Greg Evans (Old Essendon), Ben Dunn (Old Melburnians), Leo Curran (Old Trinity), Greg Bradley (Rupertswood), Andy Dalrymple (Whitefriars).

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 In a thrilling A Section game, De La Salle defeated Old Scotch, 8.10 to 7.7 and in doing so replaced Old Scotch in the top four. Best players were Deveson, Greene, Murphy (3), Leonard, Bourke, Rennie (DLS) and Smith, Marx, McGill, W Matthews, Hodge, Polkinghorne (Old Scotch).

In B Section, Uni Blacks kept their finals hopes alive after defeating fourth placed Old Melburnians despite horrible kicking for goal. OMs were held to only 5.4 for the game while the Blacks kicked 7.24 including 1.12 in the second quarter. Blacks were now only 1 game behind OM’s and with a far better percentage.

Star Bulleen Templestowe player, Rick Demarte reached his 200th game against Old Xaverians.

Rick had a brief stint with the Sydney Swans earlier in the season and had risen through the ranks at Bulleen Temp. He had also spent 3 season with Collingwood thirds.

David Segal played his 200th game for AJAX having started with the club’s juniors in 1970.

David was one of the key players in AJAX’s rise through the grades and he was a member of the grand final sides in 1975, 1976, 1978 and 1979 and a dual premiership player in 75 and 79. David had also become a vice president and delegate for AJAX. Dean Felsenthal, a quality wingman with Caulfield THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Grammarians, played his 200th game. Dean had won the Juniors best and fairest in 1974 before graduating to the senior team. Dean’s pace, marking and handball skills were highly valuable to his team and provided great entertainment for the Caulfield supporters; he was also an excellent clubman.

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 In A Section De La Salle registered an important win over top four team Ormond 6.12 to 3.13 placing them in 5th position and level on points with the fourth team. Ormond didn’t handle the heavy going anywhere near well enough. Best – Maher, Greene, Murphy, Vitacca, Hanrahan, Leonard (DLS) and A Mehrten, McAsey, Kingston, Russell, Gilmore, Sutherland (Ormond).

Uni Blacks’ loss to Old Paradians in B Section may well have cost them a place in the finals. In a low scoring game, the Blacks drew close at three quarter time but Paradians were solid in the tight going to win 7.12 to 5.6. Best – Nelson, Considine, Jackson, Fahey, M Wood, P Wood (OP) and O’Halloran, Costello, Gibney, Marks, Vaughan, Thompson (Blacks).

B Section senior coaches were Ray Keane (AJAX), Peter Chisnall (Caulfield Grammarians), J Ryland (Kew), Neil Le Lievre (Marcellin), Greg Tootell (Old Brighton), Peter Yeo (Old Melburnians), Gerard Sholly (Old Paradians), John Wise (Parkside), Vince Laragy (St Kilda CBC) and Michael O’Donnell (Uni Blacks).

Steve Laussen played his 100th game for Collegians having joined the club after being a member of Wesley College’s 1979 premiership team.

The finals’ venues had been announced and over the 4 weeks the following grounds were to be utilised – Elsternwick Park, Camberwell Sports Ground, Melbourne Uni, State Bank (Oval 4), Parkside, St Bernards, Northcote, Monash Uni, Bulleen United, Harry Trott, and Brunswick.

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 A Section finals’ aspirants, Coburg, remained in contention after they defeated the powerful Uni Blacks combination 12.15 to 10.21, Coburg moved into 5th place, the Blacks held on to 2nd. Best – O’Brien (3), Leckie, King, Hutchinson, Handley, Mann (Coburg) and Bellingham, Larkins, Simon Costello, Clarke, Holmes, Perrett (Uni Blacks).

Caulfield Grammarians held on to their 4th spot when they defeated Marcellin Old Collegians THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

narrowly, 14.11 to 14.9. Morphet (4), Watson, Clarke, Dickeson, Tootell, Bierwirth were best for Caulfield and C Price, McDonald, C Mahon, Power, Gartner, O’Sullivan (Marcellin).

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 In C Section, Hampton Rovers had a narrow but very valuable win over St Bernards. It virtually made sure of the Rovers finishing with a double chance in the finals. The Rovers were behind at every break but were stronger when it counted at the finish – 10.16 to 10.10. Best – Fullager, Deal, Dorey, Devery, Mackenzie, Smith (HR) and Mitchell (3), J Perrett, Overman, Tobin, Collins, Considine (StB).

In D Section Brunswick made sure of the position in the top four with a good win over ANZ Bank 15.18 to 6.4. Best – Mansfield, Quinn (3), Ball, Trinder, Mimmo (3), Donnelly (Bruns) and Pearson, Firth, Grant, Halcolm, Jackson (3), Child (ANZ).

Tooronga Malvern’s reserves captain coach, Bert Liddell, was easily best on ground against National Bank. Bert played well into his 40’s and was still supporting the combine many years later when in his late 80’s. Bert’s grandson, Mark Liddell, was a key player for Caulfield Grammarians in their rise up the ladder and was a triple premiership player for his club.

The tribunal were again proving they wouldn’t stand any nonsense when they rubbed out Brunswick’s official runner for 4 weeks after he abused the field umpire and an Old Brighton junior player copped 8 weeks for striking a Glenhuntly player after the final bell.

60 YEARS AGO - 1955 Old Melburnians (2nd) sounded a real warning to top team Ormond by running away with the game in the second half to win comprehensively 19.16 to 11.4. OM’s had difficulty deciding their best among the many good contributors on the day but they highlighted the performance of Cromby for his skilful handball and play on game. They also said Wallace displayed his ‘magical disposal’ and Ramsden was the ‘pinnacle’ of determination.

Ormond’s comments included ‘Graham Schrober was their most successful player’. Ormond also rued the unavailability of Stock and Rundle due to leg injuries. The OM’s were now only 2 games behind Ormond but neither side could miss out playing in the second semi final in a few weeks time. Both Uni Blues and Uni Blacks, 3rd and 4th respectively, had a mortgage on the first semi final.

MEGT U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12

PADBURY FILLS BAKERY WITH A DOZEN SNAGS A seven goal first term set up Old Scotch against a hapless Uni Blacks side, who now look likely for relegation after just one season in the top flight. Scotch has been dogged all year but really made an abrupt statement at home with the 31 goal hammering. They booted 6 in the second term and a further 7 in the third before kicking a mammoth 13 in the final quarter. Padbury was amazing all day, kicking 12 goals in a dominant performance. He and Rennie destroyed Uni Blacks. The win however was a case of too little, too late, with the top 4 set. This was a battle to avoid relegation and Old Scotch passed the test with flying colours.

Unfortunately, Blacks weren’t up to it this year and will likely find themselves back in section 2 in 2016.

St. Bernard’s showed why they are the team to beat in the competition with a convincing 7-goal win over De La Salle at home. A 5 goal to 1 first term set the tone for the Snowdogs and they managed to hold on to the momentum kicking 2 to 1 in the second and 6 to 5 in the third before running away with the 47 point victory. Sibbald continues to be one of the competitions’ best, booting 5, with Tom Madden playing a blinder in the lead up to the finals.

Delzoppo continued his stellar run of form this season with another outstanding display. For De La, a tough day but solid performances by Cosgrave and Vawser were positives. De La has had an up and down season but can be proud of what they have produced and will continue to show improvement with 2 rounds to go.

St. Kevins continued their good recent run of form with an 86 point thrashing of the hitherto impressive Uni Blues. A tight first term saw St. Kevins take the early ascendency leading by 15pts at quarter time. Both sides would have been pretty confident in their ability to get the job done, however, the cream rose to the top 44

and the powerful St. Kevins showed why they are a force to be reckoned with come finals time with a 7 goal 3rd term. From that point on, they held strong to maintain a huge lead.

Bonacci was outstanding in a best on ground performance where he kicked 5, while Olsen managed 3 majors. For Blues, McKindlay and Blakely were their best performers.

Beaumaris stayed in touch with their fellow top 4 rivals with an impressive 94-point win against Old Melburnians at Albert Park. The first term was a tight tussle with the teams only separated by a goal. A 6 goal to 1 term saw the Sharks burst out to a six goal lead at the main break.

4 goals in the 3rd and 8 in the last ensured the result was well and truly beyond doubt. The Sharks impressed, wel on their way to the finals where they will no doubt be a strong contender.

The Old Xaverians continued their winning streak on the weekend, with their seventh straight victory against an Old Trinity side, who has struggled through Premier this season.. 5 goals in the first term got the Xavs going and if not for inaccurate goal kicking their final winning margin would have been a lot greater.

Sam Cleeve has kicked a number of bags this season and booted 6 on this occasion while Silk kicked 4 and Troiani 2. Amad and Cullity put in their best performances of the season. The Xavs are motoring at the moment and haven’t lost since June, which is great for the side that couldn’t get passed the big two, SKOB and the Snowdogs, last season. They are well coached

by Pete Callinan and Patrick Kennedy. Trinity look like they will be headed back to section 2 next year after a really tough season in their first season of premier.

MEGT U19 SECTION 2 & 3 with Tom Neuendorf

SECTION TWO Parkdale returned to the winners list on Saturday afternoon, belting St Bedes/ Mentone by 106 points.

Clearly disappointed with last week’s loss to second placed Old Brighton, the Vultures were fierce around the ball in the early going. At quarter time they had built a handy 32-point lead, and never looked back. Lachlan Butler was everywhere for the winners, booting three goals and playing a role in a number of other attacking thrusts. Bradley Austin continued his solid season, kicking another four goals on the day.

SECTION THREE Old Geelong bounced back in the game of the week against Old Carey. The 32-point win keeps Old Geelong at the top of the ladder, whilst the loss for Old Carey leaves them only one game clear of the rampant Ormond in third place. The game was won in the first half as Old Geelong skipped away to a six goal lead by half time without much resistance. To their credit, the Panthers tightened up around the stoppages and won the second half but the damage had already been done. For the winners Edward Manton booted four goals to take his season tally to 21.

Caulfield Grammar did their premiership credentials no harm with a convincing win over a faltering Whitefriars squad. The damage was done in the first stanza, with Caulfield bolting to a seven goal lead at quarter time, leaving Whitefriars goalless and demoralised. The usual suspects fired for the victors, with Schaffer and Topp again leading the way with four goals apiece, whilst Jesse Toniolo was also prominent in the win.

Elsewhere in the section, Williamstown CYMS held off a brave Hampton Rovers outfit by 24 points, Ormond outclassed Old Camberwell by 59 points, and Old Xaverians were far too good for St Bernards.

Elsewhere, Fitzroy solidified their position in the top four with a comfortable win over Mazenod, and Collegians notched their second win of the season against Marcellin. Old Brighton went about their business, demolishing Old Ivanhoe and they are really firming as the premiership fancies in the section on the back of their rich vein of form.

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

The finals at the iconic Punt Road Oval on Sunday were something to behold. You would not have known that Tasmania finished last in the competition as they completed a lap of the oval, high fiving the spectators and a few performing handstands.

It’s a big week this week for milestones with not one, but two, three hundred game milestones.

Grant Wardrop and Simon Stokes both bring up this milestone. Congratulations to both of you from all at the VAFAUA and we’ll have a bit more about each of them next week.

AFL NATIONAL INCLUSION CARNIVAL The VAFAUA has a long history of supporting the FIDA competition and last year saw the first AFL National Inclusion Carnival for players with intellectual disabilities. Last week the second instalment of the carnival was held and the VAFAUA was asked to supply umpires. Congratulations and thank you to Jeremy Drossinis, Michael Pavlich, Mark Gibson, Merv Monty, Owen Hinson, Jayde Daly, Shaun Bourke, Felix White, Sean Scully, Logan Webster, Jacob Rockwell, Jono Venn, Andrew Hartnett, Michael Dillon, Clayton Evans, David Hindle, James McCartney, Judy Laing, Campbell McDonald, Bernie Hoare, Ray Stokes, Adrian Keane, Rob Parry and Patrick Holmes for donating your time for this event. Also to Tim Sutcliffe, who looked as good as ever on the field and put together the umpires’ appointments.

Umpiring games like these is extremely rewarding and really shows how much enjoyment just playing football can give someone. There were a number of memorable moments throughout the carnival. After kicking Tasmania’s first goal of the tournament (in their last game), the Tassie full forward took off like an EPL player, removed his shirt and there were concerned that someone was going to have to grab him before he ran up Williamstown Road!

What stood out about this moment was that the ball was kicked to him by his Queensland opponent, because the guy from Tassie “just wanted to kick a goal”.

The joy on the faces of the West Australian team after beating Queensland for third spot was something to behold and the ovation for a player from Vic Country who was stretchered from the ground rivalled that received by league players coming from the MCG. The Final of the carnival was between Vic Metro and New South Wales/ACT. This was a fantastic game of football, played with aggression at the ball, and amazing sportsmanship. After a tense struggle Vic Metro were able to kick away in the last quarter from their northern opponents to record a ten point win, atoning for last years’ loss to their Country cousins.

Both coaches spoke glowingly of their opponents and all the sides throughout the competition, and our contribution was greatly appreciated and admired. Richmond players, Ivan Maric and Nathan Foley, were on hand to present the championship medallions and former Hawthorn player Peter Ryan presented the cup named in his honour.

For those that ran on Sunday, the crowd and noise gave us a little taste of what to expect come September and provided a real buzz around the ground.

As an association, we should be proud of how we present ourselves and the VAFA as a whole at these events and there are reasons why AFL Victoria approaches us to officiate. A number of the states wished that they received umpires like us every week in their competitions and finally this thank you from AFL Victoria, “Thanks for all your hard work this week. It has certainly been much appreciated. Every state has commented on the great quality of the umpiring!”

It doesn’t get much better than that.

IVANHOE WINS TOP OF TABLE CLASH 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 CAUSES UPSET OF THE WEEK 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.

CROCODILES GRIP ONTO GRAND FINAL SPOT BY SKIN OF THEIR TEETH AS ST FRANCIS MARCH ON. SECTION 1 Three of the Semi Finals were decided by comfortable margins, whereas the Second Semi Final in Section 1 was a heart stopper, with Old Xaverians ahead by five points at the final siren BUT with a Hawthorn kick for goal to come. The kick missed and thus the “Crocodiles” won by four points and qualified for next week’s Grand Final.

Up forward the proven goal kickers, James McDonnell (4 goals) and Matthew Green (3 goals) again played their part in the silky Crocodile victory … relatives Tim., Jonathan and Oscar Silk were all named in the Xaverian best.

For the “Spartans” reliable players; Tyson Barber, Nicholas Criticos and Anthony Marguccio all contributed well.

Richmond Central led throughout the First Semi Final against La Trobe University and ran out winners by twenty-six points. It was a disappointing end to the La Trobe season, which promised so much during the home and away matches. Todd Nolan (3 goals), Linton Neilson and Matthew Sandilands played well for the victors. For La Trobe, Dale Sidebottom and Mark Sturges were among the best.

58

SECTION 2 In the First Semi Final, Melbourne High School Old Boys again rose to the occasion and defeated Kew for the second successive season. This was a low scoring game in which backlines proved superior. A marked difference in the sides was the fact that Melbourne High kept their forward line open and maximised their limited scoring opportunities. On the other hand Kew lacked definitive forward structure and the bigger “Unicorn” defenders often intercepted their delivery to their forwards. No goals were kicked in the last quarter as the physical nature of the contest took its toll on players. Melbourne High added six behinds and held Kew scoreless in the last, which gave Melbourne High victory by twenty points. Best for the winners were: Alex Drew, Stephen Grantham and Nicholas Orchard, who was adjudged to best afield (a fact which father Tony has taken vicarious pleasure in!) For Kew, Michael Walsh, Jon Mould, Kieran Gannon and Alex Quinn were best.

The St Francis Xavier juggernaut continued on its way and the club is now just one win away from being Premiers and Champions … This week Albert Park cut their opponent’s winning margin to sixty seven points from the one hundred and twenty three point drubbing they suffered in Round 15. St Francis started the better and inaccuracy by Albert Park did not help their cause nor did their inability to score in the second quarter. In the second half, St Francis gradually built their margin from thirty one to sixty seven points as they again shared their goal kicking between ten players. Dwayne Scott continued his fine season, leading the way with three goals.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

PRELIMINARY FINAL PREVIEW. SECTION 1.

SECTION 2

Hawthorn and Richmond Central enter today’s game, confident of victory as each has beaten the other during the season: Hawthorn won by thirty three points in Round 4 and Richmond Central came from behind to win their Round 11 match by eighteen points.

For the second successive season, Melbourne High School Old Boys has hit top form in the Semi Finals. Their opponents today, Albert Park, are coming off two big defeats against St Francis Xavier as well as a twelve-point loss to the very inaccurate Melbourne High School in Round 13.

These reversals indicate that Albert Park is not playing as well of late as they did throughout the season. Melbourne High impressed last Saturday with their high marking and strength in packs. Another factor in their favour is that they have played three finals on Sportscover Arena in 2014 and thus will be more au fait with its wide wings and prevailing winds. Melbourne High School Old Boys is therefore my selection.

The weather and player fitness on Sports Cover Arena will both play a role in determining the eventual outcome. Last week’s display should end doubts that Hawthorn don’t play well at VAFA HQ. They certainly have multiple avenues to goal as well as accomplished ball movers who will appreciate the extra space to run with the ball. Richmond Central is well drilled and certainly will provide spirited opposition to the “Spartans”. Forwards win matches and in this regard, Hawthorn has the superior seasonal record. How will their defence withstand the pressure from the Cardinals forwards and midfielders? This is a known unknown (as Donald Rumsfeld once stated). Although I am unsure of the outcome, I am selecting Hawthorn purely because of their display on this ground last week.
