CELEBRATING THE YEAR This weekend we celebrate the final home and away round of the season for all competitions except the three Premier grades. Although for the majority, this is not where the season ends. In our projections 54 of our 75 clubs will be playing finals. These finals appearances will come from our 26 different competitions in the seniors, reserves, thirds, under 18 and 19’s and the Club XVIII. One of the highlight events on the VAFA calendar is the Club XVIII Grand Finals, which will be held at Sportscover Arena this Sunday. It is not often we have three premierships up for grades with six different clubs on centre stage. Hopefully the sun is shining and the players from Old Xavs, Hawthorn, Williamstown CYMS, Richmond Central, La Trobe Uni and Melbourne High can put on a memorable day. Just this group of six clubs encapsulates most areas of Melbourne. In our senior sections we have two clubs who are endeavouring to go through the season undefeated. Therry Penola haven’t found the jump from Division 2 to Division 1 too extreme with Jarrod Bannister chalking up his 100th goal for the year when he kicked the even dozen last week. Hawthorn have dominated Division 4 and will be looking to finish the season on a successful note. As each club celebrates their year so too do the VAFA with the inaugural Grand Final Lunch at the Grand Hyatt on Friday, September 19. Most VAFA events are restricted to club officials who represent their clubs at our Season’s launch and Woodrow Medal night. This function is aimed at the whole VAFA community, current and former players, past officials, current supporters, sponsors, to come together for an afternoon of camaraderie.

This lunch is an ideal opportunity to bring together people who may have previously been associated with a club an opportunity to re-engage through the VAFA. From early indications, individual players have taken this opportunity to bring together their friends who they played with and those they socialise with from opposition clubs. There are so many people who enjoyed their time in the VAFA and this event is their chance to reconnect. This function also provides the opportunity for clubs to entertain and thank their sponsors whilst introducing them to the wider VAFA community. The function will not be solely focussed on the VAFA with entertainment provided by singer Alana Conway, Matthew Lloyd will give a state of the game address on the AFL with ABC political and sports journalist, Barrie Cassidy, hosting the proceedings. This is an event that would be attractive to all segments of our community. The VAFA is unique and this should be celebrated. We rarely get the opportunity to really mix among the seventy-five clubs. This is a wonderful chance for all clubs, no matter what section, to come together. When do the supporters of the Premier clubs really get an opportunity to mix with the clubs in the lower sections? This is something that we lose because of our size. We aim to bring everyone together. From La Trobe to Melbourne Uni, Aquinas to Xavs and Point Cook to Beaumaris. We all share one common belief of playing for the love of the game. This year has been difficult for clubs; most have had to endure a changing youth culture where their commitment to 18 rounds of football during Melbourne’s winter is challenged. September though is a time to celebrate the triumphs and tribulations of our season. Best of luck to those fighting for a finals spot this weekend and I look forward to another entertaining finals series. Front cover: Steve Freemantle from Old Carey

DUCKS AND DRAKES Old Scotch were not yet locked in the four so they had to win to maintain their advantage from those chasing. That they defeated St Bernard’s is to be commended as the Cardinals have now beaten all teams above and below them this year. Camberwell certainly offers Old Scotch an edge, but there is enough to like about Old Scotch that could see them do some damage in September. Did St Bernard’s want to win? Yes of course, certainly Anthony Rock stressed that at three quarter time, but the problem was the players knew in the back of their minds that a loss here wouldn’t hurt their position. Subconsciously we do this as humans, when there are no real consequences then why draw on the reserves to make an extra effort? Therefore how much credence do we give to their win? You can certainly give a big tick to De La Salle. They were challenged early then responded in kind in their pivotal win over Old Brighton. The opening half of De La Salle and Old Brighton was engrossing stuff. Players throwing themselves into the contest with the reckless abandon normally associated with Grand Finals. Marcel Bruin has been one of the Tonners stand outs this year and the fact he took the field with an injury concern and deliver as a permanent forward was testament to his season. The Tonners were away but De La were in the game. David Lowe, milked the softest 25m penalty ever given and converted his chance. In the second Sam Williams won the first few clearances of the match and as the game wore on his left foot was causing headaches for Brighton. The Tonners were accountable in close but we getting thrashed on the spread. De La were simply too fleet of foot and had more skilled players. Adrian Indovino is a jet, he put in another display belying his years. De La were on top and it stayed this way. Every goal like gold, and De La kept them coming as they overhauled the small percentage gap to leapfrog Old Brighton and sit in the safety of eighth at the conclusion of the round. As exciting as it was to see Old Trinity flying high early, it is equally disappointing that there season 2

has fallen away so badly. A fifth straight loss gave no signs that they might be able to turn their year around in time to make September. Blacks absorbed a few blows before returning to the field after half time with a vigor that Old Trinity couldn’t match. Uni Blacks piled on seven goals to nil. For the second time in two weeks the T’s were kept goalless in the premiership quarter whilst the floodgates opened at the other end. Brendan Iezzi was tireless and booted three goals in another strong display, but the form of Lacey and the return of Weekley and Kruse proved too much for Old Trinity to handle. Old Trinity had their own run on in the final term as the booted six goals but by then, the damage was done. Who is the most important player at your club? Collegians might beg to differ but Shura Taft is proving to be that player. He kicked another six goals against Beaumaris to help the Lions to a big win. The Sharks were in touch at half time but conceded 11 goals to 6 in the second half to a rampant Lions outfit. James Jorgensen racked up game number 200, a supreme effort from one of the best big men in the VAFA over the past decade. Sent forward in a bid to snare a goal to mark the occasion, when the moment came, Jorgy delivered and they came from everywhere to celebrate one of the club’s greats. Without Gower or Manson Beauy were unlikely to kick a winning score and so if proved. St Bedes/Mentone Tigers are not done with yet, but a failure to field a reserves side wasn’t the best start to their day at Toorak Park. Without a match to run around in Old Xaverians skipper Michael Darvell was a late inclusion to the senior side and he managed to get through the game unscathed in his comeback from a hamstring. The Tigers started well to lead at the first change, and Xavs PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 56/70%) Old Brighton v University Blacks Old Scotch v Beaumaris Old Trinity v Old Xaverians St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v Collegians St Bernard’s v De La Salle

could never put them away. Jarryd Robertson – such a dominant figure last time these two met – was influential but not in the way he was at Brindisi St. Chris Waller likely banked another three votes Handley contributed three goals as he now shares the Sharpshooter lead with Taft. The Tigers got to within a goal in the last but it was Xavs who always looked more likely. Despite the win, Xavs will be disappointed with a net gain of only 20 points for over the past fortnight from their matches against the bottom two. It was a throw back to the good old days as spectators at Camberwell were treated to two marking forwards at the top of their game. Chad Jones from St Bernard’s and Mark Passador from Old Scotch went clunk for clunk, goal for goal as they both booted seven goals each for their

respective sides. It was fabulous football aided by wonderful delivery from the respective midfields. St Bernard’s worked hard to get back into the game in the third term before the Cardinals kicked six goals in the last to kill off the notion of a comeback. Matt Seed continued his fine form this year chipping in with four goals whilst Lachy Hill and the rediscovered form of Ashley Lim were welcome additions to the Cardinals arson. This week is the last roll of the dice for Old Trinity, a win against Old Xaverians will not only upset the Xavs applecart it will also see the T’s back in contention. Sadly I can’t see it happening. Elsewhere Old Brighton have an opportunity when they host Blacks whilst De La and Collegians face difficult trips to Mentone and Essendon respectively.

HOES REVIVAL IN FULL SWING St Kevins defeat Mazenod away to almost lock in finals; Old Ivanhoe account for Caulfield to raising hopes of avoiding demotion; Old Melburnians too good for Fitzroy to firm up third spot; Old Carey condemn Old Haileybury to relegation; and Uni Blues all but dash AJAX hopes of finals. Mazenod hosted St Kevins at Central Reserve, needing to win to keep a finals berth on the cards. St Kevins proved the better team all day, however, controlling most of the play and dominating off the half back line. SKOB were better at using the width of Central Reserve, running and spreading better than the home side. This meant the Tricolours could run and carry freely, and coupled with deft ball movement this became the days most damaging play style. It was an anomaly that the away side was better suited to the ground, but this is a theme of the St Kevins season. SKOB have won far more games away than at home, 7 of their 10 wins coming on the road. Ben Dowd starred, Pana Karageorgiou excellent with three, alongside Jason Salopek who ran all day and solid Steve Salopek and Jake Weber contributions. Old Ivanhoe comfortably beat Caulfield Grammarians at home and in doing so mustered from nothing the possibility of another season in Premier B. A nine goal to one opening half blew the game open for the Hoes, who added eight majors thereafter. The Fields managed six in the second half, however the sting was out of the game. Joel Macdonald was excellent with four majors and plenty of footy, Sam Geilings and the Delmontes also very strong. Old Ivanhoe did themselves a massive favour with this win, a win this weekend coupled with a Caulfield loss to Uni Blues will be enough to jump to eighth spot. Old Melburnians travelled to Brunswick Street and had a valuable win moving into finals. A fairly even game saw OM’s lead by 10 points at the main break, and 15 at three quarter time, before adding six majors to the scoreboard and taking the chocolates. Sam Playfair was classy all day, Charles Cumbrae-Stewart strong and Tom Hywood and Cam Beck kicked four and three goals respectively. 4

Old Carey hosted Old Haileybury and had what appeared to be a bit of a run-through before finals. No discredit to Haileybury, who managed 13 goals against a very strong opponent, but the eight goal margin Carey took in to half time hardly changed in the second half. An indicator to me that the Panthers took their foot off the pedal a bit and made sure they kept the group healthy. Cam Howat high noted what has been a truly stellar season with ubiquitous ball gathering and six majors in a domination of the game. Steve Freemantle, Colin Crowther and Ryan Bongetti all strong also. Uni Blues put an emphatic dint to AJAX’s top four hopes, winning well at home. Yet again the Blues started slowly, the Jakcas actually taking a three point lead into the first break. The Blues silenced any hope of an upset quickly, however, eight goals to one in the second quarter blowing the game apart. The students trotted on to victory in the second half, with the game out of the balance. Jeremy Mugavin, Josh Caldow and Jack Watts all excellent again for Blues. Pat Gardiner, Tom Mackenzie and Ryan Eade leading the goal-kickers list with three each. David Fayman deserves a mention, kicking four for AJAX to remain atop the goal kicking leader board. This week sees five salivating fixtures. AJAX host Fitzroy, with a win possibly providing the Jackas a chance at finals. They of course will rely on SKOB or OMs to lose. With a low percentage though, AJAX have to win big and hope one of these sides gets pumped to have any chance at stealing a spot in the four. Caulfield take on Uni Blues at home. A Blues win looks likely, but not necessarily certain, given Blues’s losses this year have been to Ivanhoe and Mazenod. The scholars should be keen to have a win going in to finals. Old Ivanhoe travel to Old Haileybury, and carrots don’t get any bigger PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 51/60%) AJAX v Fitzroy Caulfield Grammarians v Uni Blues Old Haileybury v Old Ivanhoe Old Melburnians v Mazenod St Kevins v Old Carey

than the chance to avoid relegation. Mazenod and Old Melburnians play off at Sportscover Arena. An OM’s win will sure up a top four spot. Mazenod are out of the hunt, but will be hoping to cap off a solid return season to Premier B. St Kevins square up against Carey at TH King. Similarly to OM’s, SKOB will be keen to win and make their top four spot certain, as a bad loss puts them at risk of being jumped by AJAX.

Thank you to the clubs that have contributed to this column over the home and away season and enjoy the offseason for those that leave us here. Congratulations to those players in the team of the year, there is so much talent in Premier B that if we picked another 22 players it would be a super match.

TOP FOUR SET IN STONE We now have a much clearer picture as to who will be playing finals football this year and who will be making an early departure to go and search for a Mad Monday kit. Parkdale’s demolition of Peninsula has given them a two game buffer over their closest rival in fifth spot, finalising the top four makeup. With only one round of action to be completed the fate of all the other teams has been decided. Oakleigh, PEGS and Peninsula all squandered an opportunity over the weekend to launch a late bid to play in the finals. For the opening 15 minutes of the first quarter Oakleigh played like their finals hopes were on the line. They attacked the contest ferociously, stunning the home crowd with two early goals. Rovers forward Ed Turner felt the brunt of the Krusher assault, forced from the ground after a heavy knock. However this incident only served as a significant turning point in the match, igniting the Rovers. The Rovers were able to seize the ascendency on the back of some great work by youngsters Jack Toouli (4) and Christian Carnovale. The Krushers failed to replicate their first quarter application, allowing the margin to slip out to 40 points by the final siren. Valentini was superb for the Krushers, shouldering the rucking duties all day, while Cloke provided a focal point up forward, finishing with five goals. A devastating blow for the Krushers, with finals now out of the equation. A five goal to one opening term laid the foundation for a Blues victory against Ormond. The Blues weren’t challenged for three quarters, as Petering and Cosgriff ran riot up forward each contributing with four majors. Despite trailing by 48 points at three quarter time the endeavor of the Ormond players couldn’t be questioned. When the stocks are down its quite easy just to drop your heads, however Ormond responded in the final term booting five goals to easily win the quarter. McCooke and Lack led the charge, alongside Stait. For the Blues Davidson played an integral role in the win. The 32 point win has seen Monash consolidate its position inside the four. Peninsula could only have been thinking that things could go up after last week’s heartache. However the only thing that went up on Saturday was the oppositions score, and the competitions growing wariness of the Parkdale Vultures. What did go 6

wrong last week, was only amplified this week. The Pirates woes were compounded at Gerry Green as they could only manage one goal for the afternoon, whilst conceding 24 at the other end. From the first bounce the Vultures could smell fresh meat, gorging at the Peninsula carcass all afternoon. More than half the Vultures team (14 players) joined in the goal kicking frenzy, with Papatsanis (5) and Boland (4) the headline acts. The Vultures registered a staggering 44 scoring shots to a mere 9. It took until the third term when Vaughn Clarke opened the Pirates account with their first and only goal. A rare shining light on a dark day was the performance of youngster Matthew Beggs who held his own in a back pocket. Marcellin has secured itself a top two finish and guaranteed double chance, after overcoming a plucky Banyule. In a tale of two halves, Banyule were able to match it with the ladder leaders for the first half, before the Eagles demonstrated why they have been the benchmark all season. As the game started to open up, the Eagles began to penetrate the Banyule back-six, with Jonathan Blanch providing plenty of drive out of defence. Bolger found himself on the end of numerous forward forays finishing with six for the day, taking his tally to 47 goals for the year. Another positive for the Eagles was the successful return of former skipper Jake Symes to senior football. Despite only adding three behinds in the second half, the performance of Williams and Smith couldn’t be faulted for the Bears. A comprehensive second half was the cornerstone to the 73 point Eagles win. Right now Old Camberwell would be kicking themselves. Despite a narrow two point win over PEGS on the weekend, it’s a case of too little too late. Had the Wellers won clutch encounters earlier in the year perhaps the story would be different. For PEGS the loss to the Wellers has also quashed their finals ambitions. In a seesawing affair at PEGS Sporting Fields the lead changed hands at every interval. The Wellers had opened up a 10 point half time advantage before PEGS literally pegged them back with an emphatic third term. The Jones boys were working hard for the home side, while big man Skurrie had four goals. With the confidence of last week’s final term at the forefront of their minds, PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 60/71%) Ormond v PEGS Old Camberwell v Hampton Rovers Peninsula v Marcellin Banyule v Parkdale Oakleigh v Monash Blues

the Wellers had the belief. The Bennett brothers were pillars in defence all day, meanwhile Hart and Toma were potent up forward. A three goal to one final term ensured the Wellers held on to record a memorable win. All eyes will be firmly fixed on matches involving the Blues and the Rovers, to see whether or not the Rovers can cough up a double chance. Monash face a tough assignment away to Oakleigh, while the Rovers confront a Camberwell side high on confidence. Many observers would love to see Ormond and Banyule say farewell to Premier C on a high, however PEGS and Parkdale will have other

ideas. In what’s been a testing month, Peninsula need to extract some positives out of their final round encounter against Marcellin. Thank you for the clubs who sent me game notes each week of the year, farewell to the six that don’t go on after this week as we head into finals. Congratulations on too all in the Premier C Team of the Year. There were a number very stiff to miss including…Gary Bennett (Oak), Brett Brisbane (POB), Ben Hart (OC), Simon Bennett (OC), David Forrest (PEGS), Daniel Flaherty (PEGS), Leigh Fletcher (HR), Andrew Hickey (MB), Devin McDonald (Ban), Michael Italia (Ban).

JARROD BANNISTER’S CENTURION Congratulations to Therry Penola spearhead Jarrod Banniser (pictured right) who became the first player at senior level of the VAFA since Ivanhoe’s Ashley Close kicked a ton in 2012. Bannister brought up his 100th goal with his 12th goal of the day in Therry Penola’s 17th straight win of the season. Last year Jarrod shared the Division 2 goal kicking award with his older brother Corey (pictured left) when both tied on 77 goals at the end of the home and away season. This year they went goal for goal in the first half of the season before Jarrod established his lead. Corey mind you still has a very respectable 72 goals this year. Corey has also twice previously won the Division 2 goal kicking, in 2008 when he kicked 72 and again in 2009 when he fell an agonising 3 goals short of the ton, stuck on 97 goals.

Congratulations to Canterbury’s REX JOHNSON – Rex is a true stalwart of the club, even if records only date back to 1996! He has had stints on the committee, one year as president (when the club won its most recent Premiership in 2003), and can always be relied upon to fill a spot in the Reserves. Congratulations on playing 350 games; a mammoth achievement!

200

Congratulations to Box Hill North’s GLEN ROBINSON – Robbo arrived at Box Hill North in 2003 and has only missed a handful of games. Also known as the human tackle bag, Robbo has always put his body on the line every week for his team mates. Robbo is a previous Best & Fairest winner at the club and has been the heart and soul of the Reserves team for many years.

200

Congratulations to University Blues’TOM GIRDWOOD – A four time Premiership player (Reserves and Club XVIII), Tom was awarded the Ted McNamara “Spirit of the Blues” award in 2012 and is the reigning Reserves Best and Fairest. Tom has been a significant contributor at every level, from his days as team mascot and water boy through to his time as a raking right footer in Seniors and Reserves. Tommy can hold his head high as he becomes only the sixth Uni Blues player to play 200 games. Congratulations Tom, a super effort.

200

Congratulations to Therry Penola’s TIM GOODWIN – 2011 was a year to remember for the full forward. He won the Division 2 Reserves leading goal kicker with 85 goals, his side won the Premiership and he took out Therry Penola’s Reserves Best and Fairest. Congratulations Tim.

200

Congratulations to Therry Penola’s SAM SACCO – An ultimate clubman, Sam was a C Grade Premiership player with Therry in 2000. In more recent times, Sam has captained Therry’s Club XVIII team and has been a remarkable leader of young and old.

He played in the Reserves backto-back Premierships in 2007 and 2008, and played in a Reserves finals series in most other seasons, captaining the Reserves in 2014.

Congratulations to Yarra Valley’s SIMON YEO – Following his brother Russell down to Yarra Valley as a 17 year old, Simon has given his all for the Red, Black & Yellow, and is one of the most dedicated and passionate players at the club. Simon can play across the field, but his greatest contribution has been as a key forward in recent years, kicking many bags of goals. Simon was a member of the 2012 Senior Premiership team and continues to be an excellent off-field contributor. Congratulations on 150 games amazing and passionate games for YVOBFC, and we look forward many more years of loyal service.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

200

Congratulations to Collegians JAMES JORGENSEN. Has there been a more universally admired player at Collegians in the last 20 years, I doubt it. The “big baby” played his 200th game last week and in doing so adds another line to his outstanding Collegians resume. We can wax on about how good a player he is, the premierships, the state jumpers, the injuries, the highs the lows, the stories, biffs and off course “the plums”. But more importantly just a ripping bloke who loves his club and his mates and we therefore must celebrate accordingly.

200

Congratulations to Collegians NICK BAXTER. “Junior” is the middle stump in the “Baxter Wickets” with siblings Andrew and Tim also champions at the club. Junior has done it all but in the past 5 years he has happily brained the opposition in the Thirds. His career has been hampered by some serious injuries, notably a badly broken arm, the cast he wears now as protection his trademark. Nick’s best was very good, he has an uncanny ability to create something out of nothing. A recent collar bone break left him stranded on 199 so this week he is back to get to 200. We love ya mate, you are a star and we really appreciate what you have put yourself through.

150

Congratulations to Caulfield Grammarians’ LUKE PRICE – Luke debuted in the U19’s in 2005, and after a few setbacks he played his first senior game in 2009. Luke hasn’t looked back since, becoming an integral part of the back 6. A pivotal player in the 2011 Premier B Premiership side, Luke is often called upon to play on much larger opponents, and due to his tenacity and determination he has rarely had his colours lowered. Well done Prince!

150

Congratulations to AJAX’s COREY JANKIE – Corey played his first Under 19 game in 2003 while still at school. He was promoted to the seniors in 2006, where he played every game in the season. Over the next few years he has hardly missed selection. The highlight no doubt would be the 2011 C Grade Premiership.

Congratulations to Monash Blues’ RAMI SHENOUDA – A past captain of the U19s, Rami has been a committed Monash Blue since his debut in 2008. One word to describe Rami would be dedicated, which has seen him excel on and off the field. He has been known to play whilst “on call” to Kilmore hospital! On field, Rami wills himself to each contest, amassing possessions and playing an integral part in the team’s midfield.

BANNISTER NOTCHES CENTURY IN STYLE Jarrod Bannister became the first senior player in the VAFA since 2012 to kick a 100-goal season, and he did so in emphatic fashion. The star forward slotted two majors in the first term against Whitefriars, one in the second, and nine in the second half, with six of those coming in the third quarter. He finished with 12.8 for the day to reach the three-digit mark in what was Therry Penola’s 17th straight victory. Elsewhere in the Division, Old Mentonians’ finals hopes were all but shattered by NOBS/St Pats while Old Geelong unconvincingly sealed fourth spot as they edged past Bulleen Templestowe. Therry Penola are now one win from an undefeated home and away season after they comfortably took care of Whitefriars, who are holding their heads above relegation by two points. The Lions ended the game as a contest by the first quarter, with six goals, keeping the Friars scoreless. Whitefriars managed to put a reasonable score on the board by the final siren, but highlights were limited as the limelight was heavily focused on Jarrod Bannister’s goal-fest and defeating the visitors off his own boot. Jarrod Bannister was a clear best on, while Darcy Ryan and Brock Egglestone played strong parts in Therry’s 91-point victory. Old Mentonians’ form going into Round 17 kept their finals chances a possibility, but those beliefs dissipated by round’s end. NOBSPC sunk the Panthers who fought diligently in the opening half, but were unable to overcome the Nobs’ class. It was a two-goal game for much of the first half, although by the third quarter the Nobs switched on for a seven-goal term to take a 49-point lead. NOBS/St Pats drove home the victory in the last to win at a game-high 58-points. Michael O’Donoghue kicked four in the win and Damon Byrne was best afield. Old Mentonians remain mathematically possible to make the finals, if they can defeated the undefeated Therry Penola, gain another 9% in that victory, and also Old Geelong must lose. Possible? Yes. Likely? No. 16

Old Geelong secured their place in the finals with a shaky effort, but it was a victory nonetheless over Bulleen Templestowe. The Bullants came out firing in the first with six goals straight to establish a nine-point lead. The visitors’ sharp shooting continued into the second with another three straight and Old Geelong had no answer to combatting the Bullant’s accuracy. And eventually, Bulleen Templestowe came to a halt and the OG’s were able to nip past with 4.5 in the third. Old Geelong had an overwhelming 36-16 scoring shots advantage but could only attain a 25-point victory by the final siren. The OG’s will require much stronger performances if they are to make a dint in the upcoming finals series. Williamstown CYMS’ double chance slot was solidified with an absolute rout of Prahran Assumption. The Two Blues seemingly threw in the towel on season 2014 as they mustered up a dismal display from the outset, being kept goalless and had seven majors put past them in the opening quarter. Things didn’t get any better as the game progressed and the CY’s continued to punish them as Prahran Assumption faced a 76-point deficit at halftime. The scoreboard ticked into three figures in the second half and the match couldn’t have ended quick enough for the Two Blues as they were defeated by 121-points. Luke Molan and Jack Gray had a field day with eight and five goals respectively. Melbourne High School Old Boys fought ‘til the final siren against Yarra Valley but were forced to do so uphill as the Bushrangers established an early lead. Yarra held a three-goal advantage at quartertime, which became five at halftime; this normally would be MHSOB’s cue to fold. But the Unicorns held tall and kicked four goals to one, to retrieve the margin to 10-points at the final change. Yarra Valley made a late surge to push away in the fourth and end MHSOB’s chances of a second victory for the season.

goals while Nicholas Maclennan was B.O.G in his first game for Yarra Valley. This week, MHSOB host Old Geelong, who will be out to regain some much needed form before finals and expect them to do so with a win. Bulleen Templestowe have the slim chance of climbing out of relegation, but must defeat Williamstown CYMS to do so. Can’t see this occurring and the CY’s will gain victory here. Prahran Assumption play NOBS/St Pats, predicting the Nobs to win and do

so without any hiccups. 17-0 Therry Penola travel to Old Mentonians, the Panthers will throw the ‘Hail Mary’ and hope for victory and a finals berth but expect Therry to end the regular season 18-0. Whitefriars face Yarra Valley, if Whitefriars win they will cement season 2015 in Division 1, however Yarra Valley will get the best of them and finish the season with their seventh victory.

DIVISION 2

Brenton Mann

@BrentyMann

THE END IS NIGH After a gruelling 16 rounds, the top-four spots in Div 2 were solidified last week, setting-up an intriguing finals series. Kew, St Mary’s Salesian, Old Eltham and Old Paradians have all hit peaks and troughs during the season but are now in top form at the right time of the year. All four had big wins last week, and the premiership race is wide open. Kew and St Mary’s have every right to think that they’ll be playing off for ultimate glory but underestimate Old Eltham and Paradians at your peril. At the other end of the ladder, Glen Eira and Monash unfortunately find themselves anchored in the relegation zone with no hope in sight. For St Johns and Ivanhoe, it has been a year of “what ifs”, “glass half-full”, “sliding door moments” and any other cliché you can think of. Both had their chances to play finals but on too many occasions only had themselves to blame for their current predicament. South Melbourne showed some great form through the year, especially against sides such as Kew and Old Eltham but was simply a class below. The final round holds certain meaning or significance for every side. Some will want to finish 2014 on a high or put 2014 in their rear-view mirror while the top-four will make the minor tweaks necessary for success in the post season. Old Paradians finally cemented their spot in the top-four with a commanding 75 point win over relegation bound Monash Gryphons. After their disappointing effort against St Johns a week prior, the Raiders vindicated their improvement this year by securing their spot in the finals. Their cause was aided by another bag to Dave Boundy, this time it was nine in a near best on ground display. They face a tough task this week, hosting the ladder leaders which should provide a perfect litmus test for finals football. Monash have the minute possibility of avoiding relegation, all they need to do is thrash St Mary’s Salesian...maybe they should start “Silly Sunday” early. At Elsternwick Park fans witnessed a shootout, as Ivanhoe and Elsternwick kicked 47 goals combined and the Hoes saluted by an impressive 74 points. For Ivanhoe the in-form forward of the 18

comp Lovell bagged eight and Renton for the Wicks slotted seven. Fair to say it may have been “bruise free football” with both sides no chance of playing finals it was an exciting, attacking brand of football. There were 17 goals kicked in the last quarter alone in what was a bit of a statistical anomaly. Both sides have showed solid form this year in patches and after consolidating their spot in Div 2 will look for improvement over the summer. Equally both sides go in as underdogs this week, but are not without a chance of finishing their season on a high. Old Eltham showed their attacking prowess last week as they had 10 goal kickers on their way to a 117 point demolition of a luckless Glen Eira. Turtles forwards Tranter and Dummett took full advantage of a weakened Saints’ defence, kicking 13 between them. Old Eltham burst out of the blocks, breaking Glen Eira’s spirit with a nine goal to none first quarter and from then on it was the Turtles by how far. By half-time they’d kicked 15 and were up by 90 points. Scoring slowed somewhat in the second-half but he damage was well and truly done. Old Eltham will look to fine tune their game this week against Ivanhoe while Glen Eira will throw everything at South Melbourne to finish the year on a high. In another big win for a top-four side, St Mary’s Salesian annihilated South Melbourne Districts at Lindsay Hassett Oval to the tune of 106 points. In what has been a trademark of their game in 2014, the Saints highlighted their ability to spread the load...finishing with 12 goal kickers. St Mary’s could not be better placed heading into the last round of the season and have the game and the ability to claim the ultimate prize. It was a tight first-half with St Mary’s only leading by 19 at half-time...then the floodgates opened. The Saints went on a rampage, kicking 16 goals after half-time and ran away with the game. This week they face a hapless Monash Gryphons and may look to manage their list. South Melbourne has a chance to head into “Silly Sunday” on a high as they face Glen Eira in DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 69/81%) St Mary’s Salesian v Monash Gryphons Old Paradians v Kew

a match they should win. Kew stood in the way of St Johns’ chances of playing finals this year. The Bears knew the JOCs were in red hot form and would come out firing. After beating Old Paradians the week prior, St Johns were on top of their game and the first five minutes was crucial for both sides. Unfortunately for St Johns, they were found wanting. The Bears came out full of running, won the ball at ease and ran the JOCs off their feet. They ultimately set-up victory with a

dominating seven goal first quarter and kept the JOCs at arm’s reach for the rest of the day. St Johns stinging after their deplorable first quarter kicked the first two of the second and won the quarter, but that’s where the good news stopped. The Bears owned the second-half as the JOCs simply ran out of legs and couldn’t halt Kew’s constant forays forward. Kew face Old Paradians in a great test before finals while St Johns host Elsternwick and need to finish the year on a good note.

BATTER UP Seventeen rounds later and it’s fitting that the Division 3 finals seeds are still undecided. Power House and Albert Park will start their elimination rounds early as they face one another for the last place in finals action. Richmond Central has the chance to rectify their horror patch in the middle of the season and jump to fourth on the ladder if they can knock off third placed Swinburne University. Aquinas faces a top-two side for the second consecutive week as they line up against a dominant Emmaus St Leos. Lastly, the final safe spot in Division 3 next year is up for grabs, as Eley Park will attempt to make up 11 percent against the hapless South Mornington at Citation Oval. Emmaus St Leos continued their inspired run into the finals with a 125-point victory over sixth placed Power House at Bennettswood Sports Ground. The away side went goalless for the entire first half in the thumping before a 10 goal to one final quarter extended their woes. Ryan Harding’s eight goals made him the second player for Emmaus to reach the 50goal milestone while Chris Beluszar still leads the league with 62 majors. Anthony Smith was brilliant for Emmaus with his forward pressure skills, helping to lock the ball in a fervent forward fifty. The win makes it 13 wins from their last 14 matches for the Animals. UHS-VU’s finals hopes were dealt a significant blow in their one-point loss to the unpredictable St Francis Xavier at Brens Oval. Uni High lead by 15-points at three quarter time, yet couldn’t hold off the rampant X-Men who stormed home with the assistance of four goals from Adam Pavlovic. Rhys Kirk added three goals for his side in the heartbreaking loss. Both sides still remain a mathematical chance to finish in the finals, but will need to make up significant percentage and hope Albert Park can defeat Power House to finish inside the top six. Richmond Central used a massive final quarter to cement their place in the top six in a 23-point victory over Albert Park at Beaurepaire Pavilion. The Snakes trailed by eight points coming at three quarter time, yet a six goal to one last term gave them their tenth win of the season in emphatic fashion. Unfortunately for the Falcons, gun forward Stuart Maunder – who has kicked 20

37 goals in just nine matches – broke his ankle in the first quarter. Neil Sjostrom kicked four for the Falcons while Richmond’s Tim Baker was named best on ground. The loss means Albert Park sit in seventh position with one game remaining in the season. Swinburne University celebrated their milestone mania – three in one match – in style with a 205-point victory over South Mornington at St James Park. Hawthorn threw out perfect conditions for the match and the Razorbacks responded with pristine football in their percentage-boosting win. Jye Bunge and Thomas Kennedy potted seven goals each for Swinburne while Ben Higgins got leather poisoning across half-back. The win moves Swinburne up to third on the ladder while loss is the first time since Round 9 that the winless South Mornington has been held goalless. A season-high five goals from Matthew Holmes ignited a dramatic comeback from the Northern Blues in a one-point victory over Aquinas in the game of the round at Ruthven Reserve. The Blues trailed by over four goals midway through the final term, before a flurry of goals saw them overturn the deficit and retain second position on the ladder. Jai Perrett and Michael Niezen combined for eight goals for the Bloods who now slide down to fourth on the ladder following the loss. Full Back Reed Jepson was back to his dominant early season form against quality opposition. Some left-field coaching moves were needed as Eley Park kept their hopes of remaining in Division 3 alive with a come-from-behind 27-point win over La Trobe University at Whitehorse Reserve. Noel Bahnsen was back to his best in front of goal with four majors for the Sharks while Chris Olson provided the highlight of the day with a four-bounce goal starting from half-back. For the Trobers, Declan O’Connor was named best on ground in their heart wrenching defeat while Jordy O’Brien managed three goals. One of these two clubs will be relegated pending round 18 results.

DIVISION 4

Ryan ‘Hammy’ Goodman

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Last week, I mentioned that Westbourne Grammarian’s finals chances relied on a meltdown of Homer Simpson proportions from Manningham. Unbelievably, the Cobras appear to have left the drinking bird in charge of their workstation as they suffered a shock loss to Dragons. Meanwhile, the Grammarians produced their best performance of the season as they wiped Canterbury from the floor to the tune of nearly 100 points. Point Cook comfortably accounted for the in form North Brunswick in their final game on the road for 2014. After commanding the play early, the Bulldogs never looked troubled by their opponents for the duration. Andrew Auciello and Matt Herbertson stole the show for Point Cook, with the latter picking up five goals for the afternoon. Robbie Santacroce continued his solid form whilst Peter Webb also toiled hard for the Bulls. Neither side is in finals contention, but Point Cook will have the opportunity to put the final nail in Westbourne Grammarian’s coffin at Saltwater Reserve later today. Perhaps inspired by a gold rush for the Aussies in the pool at Glasgow, Manningham and the Dragons went stroke for stroke in the early stages of their clash at Koonung Reserve. After the first break however it was the Dragons who kicked away to record a confident win. Thomas Lowden was in scintillating form as he led the way for the Dragons, picking up a bag of five. For a disappointing Manningham outfit, Eric Sapac led the way but was well supported by the old firm in Wolfgramm and Bell. Manningham’s fate is still in their hands, but they will want to be better than they were last week to not only feature, but contribute in the finals series. West Brunswick easily accounted for the Synners in what believe to be a record sized 283 point win. To their credit, Chadstone battled hard all day despite missing several players. The highlight for the Pies was the Evan Lloyd and Warwick Barker show in the final term. The defenders took it upon themselves to play high up the ground and they put on a six goal exhibition towards 22

the end of the game. The 45 Magpies goals were shared between 16 players. After an easy hit out last week, today, the Pies feature in a crucial clash with Manningham at Koonung Reserve. Westbourne Grammarians embarked on mission impossible on the weekend and did all that they could to keep the pulse of 2014 alive. After starting slowly, Westbourne kept Canterbury scoreless in the second whilst adding 55 points to their own tally. It could have been more, but wayward kicking mediated the scoreboard. Thanks in part to five goal hauls to Nick Schiano and Nikko Arias, the rest of the afternoon became a procession as the finals hopefuls increased their lead at every break. The afternoon soon became not only a win, but a much needed percentage booster for Westbourne Grammarians. They take on Point Cook later today where they’ll be hoping for a similar performance to this one. Canterbury look to have lost their way and something drastic needs to happen for them to have any sort of impact on the pointy end of the year. Once again, Hawthorn produced a clinical display to maintain their glistening record. This time their opponents were Box Hill North, who toiled hard, but like everyone this season, were unable to match the class of the Hawks. No Sam Gold didn’t seem to affect Hawthorn who allowed Jason Ince and Sean Stormonth to set the standard for the afternoon. The depth at the club is as strong as ever and the disappointment of last season seems to have the team more determined than they were at the same stage last year. The final round of the home and away season gives those teams bound for the pointy end a final chance to iron out any crinkles in their game, whilst those who won’t feature have the chance to finish the season on a positive note. All eyes will be on the results in the Manningham Cobras v West Brunswick and Point Cook v Westbourne Grammarians fixtures. Whilst Westbourne Grammarians still need a lot to go their way, all that happened last week will give them hope.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2014 LUKE BUCKLER – WEST BRUNSWICK Congratulations to Luke “Bucks” Buckler, who is this week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star. The strong in and under player came to West Brunswick when he relocated to Melbourne for study at RMIT. He played school football last year for Mentone Grammar, having played juniors at Langwarring and Ormond. Luke is the only West Brunswwick player to play every game in 2014, with Senior Coach Angus Hamilton taking only two rounds to see that Bucks has what it took to play senior football. A regular on the ball, Bucks is an in and under player often going in to retrieve the football for his more senior teammates. Luke’s competitive edge often sends him bull at a gate, towards the footy. Luke is renowned for crashing into packs, and often leaving with the footy. Luke has been a huge influence on West Brunswick’s successful season! * 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 In D1 Section, Aquinas escaped relegation when they thrashed St Leos Emmaus 21.17 to 4.9 resulting in Prahran joining St Leos for D2 section in 2010. Aquinas pretty much made certain of the game by half time with a 5 goal lead and then scored freely while St Leos struggled badly. Best – Maaskant, J Jess Aver (8), Sharpe, Williams, Cormack (5) (Aquinas) and Wierzbowski, Stout, McCann, Hickey, Ballard (StL). Andrew Quail played his 150th for Old Scotch, Jerome Kaicer finally reached his 50th for Elsternwick and Adam Paterson played his 250th for St Bedes Mentone Tigers. The Club XVlll B & F Awards were announced – Section 1 Jason Storer (Prahran), Section 2 Keith Perry (Monash Blues), North Section Matthew Shanks (Whitefriars) and South Section David Logan (Old Scotch).

10 YEARS AGO – 2004 In A Section, Old Trinity (fourth) faced up to ladder leaders, University Blues. A win to Trinity would be very welcome as Old Scotch (fifth) were sure to defeat lowly placed Whitefriars and if so, would continue to snap at Trinity’s heel. A win to Trinity would in fact secure their first ever, A Section finals’ participation. The Blues started slowly and at quarter time trailed Trinity by 3 goals. The Blues leveled at half time but Trinity kicked clear again in the third quarter. In a great last term Trinity held the lead until the talented George De Crespigny slotted one, 45 meters out on a tight angle and Trinity would now have to win the following week at De La Salle. Final scores – The Blues 11.14 to Old Trinity 10.13. Best players – Nailon, Lowcock (3), J K Brook, De Crespigny (3), North, Young (Uni Blues) and Williams, Neville, G Deane-Johns, T Van Der Venne, Cultrera (3), Buttler (Old Trinity). One of Old Ivanhoe’s most colorful players, George Haros, reached his 200th game. A member of the winning premiership teams of 1994, 1995 and 2001 in D, C and B Sections, a Club Best and Fairest winner and member of the Club’s Team of the Century, George had been a typical “heart and soul” member of his Club. 42

20 YEARS AGO – 1994 Old Xaverians (4th), with a finals’ spot at risk, met St Bernards (3rd) and well into the second quarter Xavs were down 48 points. By half time they had reduced the deficit to 15 and by three quarter time were 6 points up. In what had been a remarkable turn around, Xavs went on to win by 7 goals. Michael Blood kicked 8 for Xavs and was joined in the best by Colquhoun, Green, Richardson, Bowen and Taylor. The Overman brothers, Keane, Chatfield, Comito and Gilmore were St Bernards’ best. 30 YEARS AGO – 1984 North Old Boys and De La Salle battled it our for a place in the A Section top four. There was only a point difference at the final change but North kicked 2.2 to 0.2 in the last to win by 9 points. Best – Horan, Maguire, Griffin (NOBS) and Lyons, Beddoe, Groves (DLS). Old Scotch’s brilliant performance against Caulfield Grammarians, 32.29 to 8.17 elevated then from 5th to 2nd and earnt a finals’ berth. 40 YEARS AGO – 1974 Uni Blacks finished strongly in A Section after they defeated Collegians by 15 points and this win firmed their place in the top four. Best – Shackleton, Crouch and Patterson (Blacks) and Dunn, D Walduck and Skinner (Collegians). At the end of the home and away games, the only undefeated teams were Old Paradians (Junior 2), Ormond (B Section Reserves) and Old Trinity (E Section Reserves).

50 YEARS AGO – 1964 Kew, 3rd in B Section, kicked 5.1 in the final term to defeat Uni Blacks by 1 point. The Black’s inaccuracy 12.19 was unexpected as they supplied the top three goal kickers in the section - Morton Browne (45), Ian Murray (42) and Roger Vines (36). Best – Snell, James and Mort (Kew) and J Winneke, Browne and Linston (Blacks). The top two teams in C Section, Parkside and De La Salle, battled out a tough game with Parkside’s sustained finish, 6.3 to 1.5 giving them an easy victory. Best – Lauder, Radwell, Jensen (P) and Toogood, Teague, McCormick (DLS). THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

St Bernards continued to dominate the competition with a 16 goal win against St Bedes/Mentone at Brindisi Street. Sullivan booted 5 while Hughes was instrumental with 4. Bernards have been ruthless this season kicking 20+ goals in more than half of their games. Considine was named best on ground. Old Melburnians were gallant in their 5 goal loss to Old Scotch at Albert Park, Daggian was a big omission for the Cardinals and their goals came from Dennis and McCallum. Beaumaris put in a solid display hosting De La Salle, a tight first U19 Section 2 Report

@jdonohoe12

term meant that they were only up by 8 points at the first change, before breaking clear in the second. Gibbins with 4 and Burke (2) joined Pierce and Johns as the best for the Sharks who are now set to play finals. Gava and Cooke were terrific for De La and were their best players. One Draw in a season is in itself, peculiar, but Old Xaverians have had two this year and may have cost themselves the double chance. A late 25m Penalty with seconds left cost Xavs the win against SKOB at TH King. SKOB roared home from 24 points down at the final change to finish level. Hannan slotted 4 for Xavs and Midgely was best. Sabato kicked 3 for SKOB with Doyle best.

@LewisEmmerson

Parkdale grabbed fourth spot with their resounding 69-point victory over Mazenod. They’re now favourites to hold fourth with both Parkdale and Fitzroy facing tough matches this weekend. Percentage should be the difference with Parkdale’s far greater. Jack Edwards was silky with his left boot while Alex Taylor-Hirst bagged 5 goals, both were key to the Vultures win. Mazenod’s Declan Fowler slotted 3 goals. Whitefriars were too good for Fitzroy as they cruised to a 69-point win. Fitzroy must beat Uni Blues this weekend to play

finals. Whitefriars Sean Currie was brilliant with 3 goals while Nathan Ligris was again solid for the ‘Roys. Caulfield are making a late charge with their second consecutive win. Old Brighton went down to Caulfield by 30 points in a low-scoring affair. Tim Edmonds was amongst the best for Brighton whilst Caulfield’s Zac Amos continued his great season. Uni Blues demolished Collegians by 81-points. Will Blakey was back to his best as he steered 5 between the big sticks for Blues. Old Trinity had a 100-point win over Uni Blacks. It’s a matter of percentage in the T’s battle for the top 2, their big win has them second. Trinity’s James Nitsopoulos kicked 5 goals.

U19 Section 3 with Tom Connolly @tomconnolly15

Old Ivanhoe played Old Xaverians at home and ran away with a convincing win by 67 points. Old Xaverians scored 2 goals straight in the first quarter, but were kept to a single behind for the rest of the game. Old Ivanhoe’s defenders merciless, Crouch kicked 3 for the day while Gough was best. Old Carey took on AJAX and claimed the win by 61 points. Old Carey kicked 7 goals to 2 in the first quarter before AJAX came hard at them in the second term. However, the Panthers were just too strong in the second half kicking 10 goals to 3, 44

Wallace and Nixon both kicked 6 for Old Carey while Harris was best. St. Mary’s Salesian put up another good fight but ultimately fell short. The Saints led at half time by 16 points and at oranges by 15, but Old Camberwell saluted by 28 points. Ryan kicked 3 for St Mary’s but it wasn’t enough to get them over the line, while Taverner kicked 4 for Old Camberwell. Marcellin hosted Williamstown CYMS and in a tight affair, it was the CY’s that won by two straight kicks. All square at half time, both teams locked up on 5.5 a piece, but Willy were too strong in the second half. Ebinger kicked 3 and Christakais kicked 2 to get Williamstown over the line.

U19 North Anna O’Donnell

@annaod_

Banyule recorded a 32-point win over Northern Blues, despite kicking an inaccurate 23 behinds. This much needed win places Banyule in fourth, with La Trobe following closely behind. Balcombe and Clarke were the best on the day, helping get this important win. La Trobe Uni had a good win over Wyndham Suns, beating them by 32 points. They now sit in fifth position, just two points out of the top four. They play Therry Penola this wee in the final round, a must win game if they are to play finals. Ivanhoe remain comfortably on top after beating PEGS by a huge U19 South with Anna O’Donnell

Collegians recorded a narrow win over Monash Blues, beating them by just 5 points. It was Wilson, Till and Sinclair who performed best for Collegians, helping them to get their fifth win for the season. Beaumaris won by a massive 126 points against MHSOB, with Hudson slotting 8 of the 28 goals, and Chamberlain grabbing 6. Barber and Zanca were other notable performers on the day, aiding a convincing victory. However the win won’t be enough the Sharks into finals. Oakleigh appeared to be on top all game, beating Peninsula by MEGT UNDER 19 Premier (YEARS TOTAL 55/86%) Beaumaris v Old Melburnians De La Salle v St Kevins Old Scotch v St Bedes/Mentone Tigers St Bernards v Old Xaverians UNDER 19 Section 2 (YEARS TOTAL 57/71%) University Blues v Fitzroy Caulfield Grammarians v Mazenod University Blacks v Old Brighton Parkdale Vultures v Whitefriars Collegians v Old Trinity

108 points. Scardamaglia, Lagreca and Jacob worked well together for Ivanhoe, helping bring home their 16th win for the season. St Bernard’s had a solid victory over Yarra Valley, beating them by 61 points at home. St Bernard’s now sit comfortably in second position, and face a tough game against Wyndham Suns today, that both sides will be hungry for. Whitefriars had a narrow win over Therry Penola, winning by just 9 points to mark their very first win of the season. It was Jacotine, Morris and Power who performed most notably for Whitefriars as the boys sung the song with gusto at the end of the game. @annaod_

65 points, with Pappon and Nolan being solid contributors for the Krushers. This win places Oakleigh on top of the table by percentage going into the final round of the season. Despite a late charge in the final quarter, De La Salle was unable to knock over Ormond, who beat them by just 12 points. Ormond’s Curwood kicked 7 of his side’s 12 goals in a standout performance, with Carothers and La Greca working well for four quarters to seal the victory. Hampton Rovers had an easy win over Old Haileybury beating them by 87 points. Jones kicked six goals for the day, helping Rovers get the win that sealed a finals berth with a round to go.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Kit Harvey

MILESTONE FOR SIMMO Congratulations this weekend to Anthony Simpson who umpires his 450th VAFA game when he steps out at Aquinas. He’s had an interesting journey to that milestone. Only the old-timers would remember that he started his umpiring career with the VAFA as a goal umpire. During that time his achievements were umpiring numerous senior grand finals with the highlight being the back-to-back C Section grand finals in 1997-98. Early on he was also recognised with the Most Improved Goal Umpire Award. A couple of years after that, he put the flags down and picked up the whistle like his brother Peter (who he has out-lasted), and has been running around ever since. He’s the consummate family man and it’s not uncommon for many members of the Simpson clan to be in attendance at his games. He was also rewarded with Life Membership of the VAFAUA a few years ago. He’s a fixture at the VAFAUA and was also rewarded by picking up the Andy Carrick Award (for the most dedicated umpire in the lower sections) a couple of years ago. We need more members like Simmo, let’s see him at 500!

@VAFAUA

Pre-Finals Dinner is the entertaining montage of umpires falling over. With field umpire and audiovisual wiz Owen Hinson in charge, this year’s compilation is set to be no different. Working with tip-offs from his colleagues, it’s hard to escape Owen’s watchful eye as he scans match footage for men and women in green hitting the deck. It’s never too late to be added to the 2014 edition of this great VAFAUA tradition, so let’s hope we are all feeling sure-footed this week.

AFL INTERNATIONAL CUP GRAND FINAL APPOINTMENTS Congratulations to VAFA field umpires Jayde Daly and this column’s very own Steve “Macca” McCarthy, who have both been selected to umpire AFL International Cup Grand Finals this afternoon. Jayde, fresh from her return to Premier last week will officiate the women’s final at 2.10pm at Punt Road Oval, the storied home ground of Richmond Football Club. Macca has earned the honour of umpiring the men’s final on the hallowed turf of the MCG at 4.50pm, a curtainraiser to the blockbuster clash between Hawthorn and Geelong. Youth policy working well. Both these appointments are huge achievements. On behalf of the VAFAUA, well done and run well!

LAWS OF THE GAME QUIZ

PITCH INVADER

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:

Watching some footage on VAFA TV from the very start of the Old Ivanhoe vs Fitzroy game a couple of Saturday’s ago you may have been wondering why Alex Anthony was waiting and waiting and laughing before holding the ball up to start the game. The camera panned across the ground and there was fellow field umpire Peter James and a kelpie dog on the centre wing, looking intently at one another. Peter was trying to get close enough to grab the dog and escort him off. Peter was quietly trying to coax the dog to stand still long enough for him to get within arm’s reach. Success eventually came and Peter gently picked up the kelpie and cradled it in his arms as he headed for the boundary line to re-unite it with its owner. On the Umpires’ Match Report I wonder if the Observer wrote: “Holding the Dog”: Well handled !! Peter James – Dog Whisperer!

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? The correct answer was OPTION A: the umpire pays a 25-metre penalty against Team B.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: The ball is kicked from the half back flank by Team A and the trajectory of the ball passes outside the boundary line but the wind blows the ball back into play and it is marked. What happens next? a) The umpire awards the mark b) Out of bounds on the full against Team A c) There will be a ball up where the mark was taken

FINAL COUNTDOWN

U18 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 48/73%) Richmond Central v St Mary’s Salesian

UHS-VU went back to back in victories, a first in 2014, against Collegians in a close-knit contest. The Uni boys took advantage of their home ground advantage and played it well, kicking 3.1 to 3 behinds in the last term, led by Nick Munari with three goals to seal the win. As Collegians finished their season, UHS VU will be doing all they can to finish the season on a positive note against ladder leaders Kew. Kew will no doubt make history in the section after this weekend, becoming the first U18 team to go through a season undefeated. It’s something they should be proud of, they have been such a dominant side all year. St Mary’s Salesian was never really in their match against the Giants, only managing to score their 1.2 in the last quarter. It was a day out for the Werribee forwards at home against Richmond Central, their 118 point victory led by Tim Mallia with 7 (and best afield honours) and Jonathan Kaklikos with four. The Tigers had 10 goals to their name by half time, with the Snakes only managing two behinds. A good performance by Werribee as we embark on the finals. St Bernard’s, led by power forward Jack Firth with four, showed good form leading into finals away

Preliminary final day saw entertaining football despite the winds. Scores were low as defenders generally prevailed over forwards.

REVIEW OF THE PRELIMS SECTION 1 - SPARTANS PUSHED BY TWO BLUES Minor premiers Hawthorn, had trouble shaking off a determined Prahran Assumption who right until the final siren threatened to take the game into extra time. The game was a low scoring one in which defenders were superior to forwards. Although Hawthorn led throughout, their winning margin was a mere six points. Prahran Assumption whittled away the 19 point margin by which Hawthorn led at three quarter time. With the game result in the balance big Hawthorn forward, Ari Mitropoulos, the section’s leading goal kicker, stood up with strong marking and a vital goal. The Hawthorn defenders withstood the late Prahran Assumption forward thrusts and ensured their team qualified for the Grand Final. SECTION 2 - SNAKES BITE ANIMALS For the second successive season Emmaus St Leo’s bowed out of the premiership race via back to back finals losses. The Animals were outplayed after an even first quarter as Richmond Central added five unanswered goals in the second term whilst Emmaus St Leo’s could add only five behinds. Thus Richmond Central held a lead of 32 points at half time. Again in the third quarter, Emmaus St Leo’s were held goalless while their faster opponents added a further four goals, which gave them a 60 point lead at the last change. Emmaus St Leo’s rallied to kick two unanswered goals in the last quarter to cut their deficit to 45 points at the final siren. Inaccuracy in front of goal proved another problem for the Animals who are left to lament what might have been. 58

SECTION 3 - UNICORN SURPRISE All form throughout the season pointed to a big North Old Boy/St Patrick’s victory over Melbourne High School Old Boys especially as the Combine had defeated the Unicorns decisively three times throughout the season. The Unicorns, who led at each change, led by 35 points at three quarter time before a late rally saw NOBs/St Pat’s add two last quarter goals to their score. When the siren sounded, MHSOB had provided the biggest surprise result for many seasons, with their 22 point victory.

PREVIEW OF GRAND FINALS SECTION 1 over Hawthorn. After a dominant home and away season, Hawthorn have faltered over the recent past. Today, I expect the Xaverians forwards, Matthew Green, James McDonnell and Dan Rush to again kick their side to victory as they did two weeks ago. The big Sportscover Arena has not proved favourable to Hawthorn over several seasons, whereas to the Old Xaverians it is like a second home ground. Today I predict another Old Xaverians premiership. SECTION 1 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 42/89%) Old Xaverians v Hawthorn

SECTION 2 Williamstown C.Y.M.S. have beaten Richmond Central twice this season whereas, the Snakes victory in Round 1 was their sole success. Significantly ruckman Peter Iser has starred for Richmond Central in the home and away games. Can he continue this form today? Williamstown through their second semi final win will start favourites against the fast moving Snakes who are an evenly talented team. This could well be the closest game today as each team has premiership claims. I select Williamstown C.Y.M.S. to win narrowly largely because they had the week’s rest. SECTION 2 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 31/66%) Williamstown CYMS v Richmond Central

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

SECTION 3 La Trobe University should win this game against Melbourne High School Old Boys in the same vein as they have triumphed in their three meetings this season. The Unicorns provided the upset of the season when they won last week, and victory today would provide another surprise as well as a panacea for the Unicorns’ whose Club has had a dismal season in Division 1. All form points to a La Trobe victory by a wide margin. TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 40/85%) La Trobe University v MHSOB
