RESPECT YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES The VAFA is extremely disappointed that the Division 1 match between Kew and Bulleen Templestowe was abandoned on Saturday. I won’t make any comment on this match as at the time of writing it is still under official investigation, but it serves as a timely reminder of the expectations that the VAFA has on all players, officials and supporters.

As the season reaches its conclusion, the results of matches have greater significance and therefore stress levels for all involved are heightened.

The VAFA has always been proud of each club’s ability to host matches at the desired level of appropriate spectator support. I have mentioned numerous times in this column about our policy of non-consumption of alcohol at matches and the respect all of our players and supporters have towards our umpires.

In my column last week I discussed how the relegation battles are some of the best and most intense matches of the season and in the upcoming weeks we will bear witness to this; none more so than in our Premier Section. However, the events of last weekend has all of us on notice that any inappropriate behaviour by players, match day officials or spectators will be dealt with severely by the Board.

On the website we have various codes of conduct including players, spectators, coaches and officials.

Any person who does not comply may be evicted from the venue or their club may be charged with conduct unbecoming. We have included the spectator code of conduct in the ‘For the Love of the Game’ section of this publication. Take some time to read it as the VAFA has high expectations of our supporters.

It is disappointing that we have to raise this when so much positive action is taking place on the field.

The form of De La Salle over the past few months has been devastating. Despite looking like near

certainties to be relegated to Premier B Section earlier in the season, they have turned it around remarkably. After Round 9, De La was sitting at the bottom of the ladder with just one win to their name. At quarter time in their Round 10 match they were 43 points down. From that point on, they kicked 18 goals to three for the rest of the game and have had six wins, a draw and no losses. They sit two points outside the four and host ladder leaders St Bernard’s this week, after disposing of second placed Old Trinity last Saturday.

This has been the most even year of Premier football since 1984 when Collegians made the four with nine wins and Marcellin got relegated with eight. This year you may have to win eight matches to ensure your survival.

Saturday sees the final round of the Division and Junior Sections of the competition. The tightest of these sections is in Division 2 where Northern Blues, Old Eltham and Old Paradians are all equal on 11 wins and vying for the final two spots in the four. Northern Blues has the lowest percentage, however the Turtles are playing top team Ivanhoe.

In the Under 19 Premier Section Old Xavs, St Kevin’s, St Bernard’s and Beaumaris have been the leaders all year and their order won’t be finalised until the final siren as St Bernard’s take on Beaumaris. These four have had great seasons and it looks like a competitive finals series will take place in this section.

Club XVIII Grand Finals are to be played this Sunday at Sportscover Arena. Rivals Old Xaverian Crocodiles play Hawthorn in Division 1. In their semi final matchup, a missed kick after the siren

by Hawthorn handed Old Xaverians a classic four point win. Hawthorn registered a strong win in the Preliminary final to set up a chance to revenge their 2014 Grand Final loss. In Division 2, undefeated St Francis Xavier take on Melbourne High School Old Boys.

SPANNER IN THE WORKS De La Salle has thrown a spanner in the works. At the half waypoint of the year they were destined for Premier B. Now they seem destined for finals.

What’s more, we know they can match it with the best. That’s what they did last week. Defeating Old Trinity at their own game, De La Salle ran and carried and moved the ball at pace all over the Daley Oval to record a sixth win in seven weeks.

De La Salle’s resurgence is one of the stories of the season and the much talked about preseason speculation of the rise of De La has come to fruition. The challenge doesn’t get any easier; with the top side St Bernard’s to visit the Dairy Bell this week. If De La is to pull off a miracle and make the finals they simply have to keep winning. Every game is an elimination final, but on current form, who would deny them?

Perhaps Old Trinity suffered the loss they had to had to re-calibrate before September, but to not have a score on the board and be trailing by six goals would have been slightly concerning for Adam Andrews. The T’s have developed a bit of habit of slow starts in recent weeks. It’s a habit they would want to break before finals.

We know they are a great second half side and that was again on show as they charged home against De La Salle. Come finals, if a team has a five goal break, what is to stop them putting 18 men behind the ball and just locking the game down? Despite the response from Old Trinity it was really only a wasteful De La that kept them in it. The visitors had 27 scoring shots to 13 for the day. Adrian Indovino’s star continues to rise with a five-goal haul, but Antony Forato’s tap work has become the standard in William Buck Premier.

Uni Blacks ended a four game losing streak with what proved to be a dominant win over Old Xaverians. Conversely, Old Xavs are now on a three game losing streak. Both sides are just a game outside the four, but given their form over the course of the year were either to sneak in, it is hard to see them doing much damage.

Nevertheless, Blacks were certainly impressive.

Jordan Foster kicked six goals and was the beneficiary of the work of Charlie Richardson and 2

@ Lennytalk

co. Peter O’Rourke continues to look dangerous forward, but is simply menacing in defence.

Xavs were plagued by inaccuracy and with every behind, the game slipped further from them. It has been a re-building year at Xavs. Youngsters have been given a go and that can only be a good thing for the red and black in years to come.

St Bernard’s are a super impressive side. Sitting down to watch them the first thing I noticed was the number of players that wear their socks up. What does that mean? Nothing really, but it is certainly unusual these days and it makes players look faster and stronger. In many cases the Snowdogs are just that, but it was their disposal and transfer from defence that hurt Old Scotch the most. The Cardinals had been galvanised in the past few weeks, so this loomed as a danger game, for the ladder leaders. Three goals in the first five minutes showed their intent early. Adam Bentick continues to lead from the front in his clearance work, but it’s his ability to drift forward and kick goals that hurts opposition more.

Averaging almost a goal a game is a huge lift on his past two seasons. St Bernard’s spread the load again; eleven Snowdogs kicked goals on the day.

Old Scotch battled manfully and rallied late, but St Bernards were equal to the task.

Collegians did what they needed to do against Beaumaris, although they probably had the opportunity to win by more. A 96 point win is nothing to sneeze at, but kicking 16.20 is a wasteful outcome when every goal matters in their bid to pick up percentage on Old Scotch.

Nonetheless, Collegians can be pleased with kicking over 100 points for the first time this year.

There are enough well known names in the Lions side for them to be confident in winning their last two matches. A win might be all the confidence they need and the way Old Carey are travelling WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Old Xaverians v Old Trinity Collegians v Old Carey De La Salle v St Bernards University Blues v Old Scotch Beaumaris v Uni Blacks

this week; it is very much a possibility. Beaumaris sent their youngsters back to their U19s and suffered accordingly. The Sharks have two more encounters to sign off on a poor season.

It would be great to see Ross Young add a Woodrow Medal to his bulging trophy cabinet.

His slow start to the year may prevent that happening, but his last month has been clinical.

In fact all the Blues’ star talent has stood up and when they do, there is little surprise to the side’s form line. Five goals in each of the first three quarters put the game beyond Old Carey. It was Blue’s eighth straight win over the Panthers.

Should Old Carey somehow hold onto their fourth spot to make a first finals appearance in William Buck Premier, then they will face Blues again. On this evidence, it is hard to see them challenging the Students. Uni Blues are building form nicely and I fear for the loser of the second semi that

On a final note, congratulations to all clubs and particularly Simon Hogan (Blacks) and Scott Sherwen (Old Scotch) and their committee of players that are Thick & Thin. Personally it is an initiative that resonates and I am glad the team managed to pull this off. It’s a great that our community are leading the way in the simple idea to #StartTheConvo.

could face Blues in a prelim. There is a long way to go before that eventuates of course, but it’s worth noting now. Carey’s performance was highlighted by their terrible disposal; upgraded pressure from their opponents or a lack of confidence has beset the side. A tough road trip to play a desperate Collegians this week will determine their season.

NOTHING OFF SCRIPT There were no real surprises in Round 16. While it wasn’t as one-sided as last week, only one match had a final margin of less than seven goals as the top four kept on winning and things pretty much “stuck to the script.” St Kevins and St Bedes/ Mentone are both in ominous form and their run home involves the same two teams: bottom side Caulfield and fourth placed Old Brighton will both need to gird their loins and prepare for what’s to come in the final two rounds of the season.

Ajax went into their contest with the Tigers with a chance of making finals and walked away with a 96 point defeat. It conjured up images of one of those cartoons where a tough guy rolls up their sleeves and goes into a room ready to pick a fight, only to come out the other end battered and bruised.

While finals are still mathematically possible for them if they have two huge wins and Old Brighton get thumped in both of their remaining matches, only the staunchest Ajax optimist would hold out much hope. This game also held some intrigue from a goalkicking perspective. Jackas spearhead Jake Lew (51 goals) was eight goals clear of the Tigers Luke Velluto (43). Like his team, Velluto came out on top, kicking six goals while Lew could only manage one, leaving a three goal gap with two games to play. It is scary to think what the margin could have been if the Tigers had kicked straight. They finished with 20.25, including 6.10 in the second quarter. Somehow the Jackas were within 10 goals at the final change, but the Tigers finished them off with a 6.5 to 0.3 final quarter.

Ajax still has a good chance of finishing the season strongly, with winnable games against Hampton and Mazenod, while the Tigers face Old Brighton and Caulfield.

It was a happy day for Mazenod. After only managing one goal against St Kevins in an absolute shellacking, they bounced back with a 43-point win against Caulfield. The victory snapped an eight-game losing streak and also helped them jump out of the relegation zone for the time being. They are level on points with Parkdale but managed to edge slightly ahead on percentage. The Nodders made five changes to the side that was humiliated by St Kevins the week before, and were well served by their 4

@ DAChalmers81 inclusions. Veteran Ben Phibbs returned to kick four goals and moved to 10th on the Premier B goal-kicking table. Liam Riley also returned after a few weeks off and had an impact, while Patrick Cincotta played his first game for the year and kicked two goals. There were some promising signs for the ‘Fields, who also made five changes and were without their main goal kicker Keegan Stewart. They led at quarter time and were within four goals at the final break but the Nodders just finished stronger, kicking four goals to one in the final term. James Shanahan doubled his season goal tally in one match by kicking five and Tom Small and Tim Nixon continued their excellent seasons. Mazenod finish their season with games against Old Melburnians and AJAX, while Caulfield cop the old “one-two punch,” fronting up to top sides St Kevins and St Bedes/Mentone.

A week is a long time in football. Last week Parkdale put up an excellent showing against in-form St Bedes/Mentone, but a week later they find themselves back in relegation territory after suffering an 80-point loss to ladder-leaders St Kevins. The Vultures only managed one goal to three-quarter time, but were able to avoid a repeat of Mazenod’s effort last week with a five goal final term. Troy McMaster kicked six for the SKOBs, Stephen Gilham chipped in with three and regular contributors Brad McCann and Ben Dowd were again very good. The Vultures were well served by Papatsanis, Everest, Stent-Powell and Tom Redmond, while Josh Manning has found some late-season form in front of goals.

Charlie Dillon and Nathan Ng have had very good seasons but were well-held on this day. Parkdale finish with games against Fitzroy and Hampton, while St Kevins are away to bottom side Caulfield and finish at home against Old Brighton.

Old Melburnians consolidated third place with a solid 48 point victory over the Hampton Rovers.

The margin was under four goals at three-quarter time and the OMs were plagued by inaccuracy all day.

form contributors Nick Daish and Nick De Steiger but on this day there were plenty of teammates willing to step up and fill the gaps. Alex Carter and Ed De Fegeley continued their excellent form and George Hurley-Wellington and Stuart Watson both kicked three. For the Rovers, Ned Fallon and Daniel Corp were the standouts. Old Melburnians finish the season against Mazenod and Fitzroy, while the Rovers face Ajax and Parkdale, two games which could go either way.

Old Brighton and Fitzroy played out the close one of the round. It was a danger game for the Tonners who were coming off a narrow loss to the OMs and a shocking injury to one of their stars, while the Roys were riding on the wave of a 104-point belting of the Rovers. In captain Rory Angiolella’s 100th game, the Roys made four changes to their side and their ‘outs’ included Jack Dalton and Matthew Brown, both of whom have had good seasons. The Tonners got the jump in the first quarter, but by half time Fitzroy were back within four points. Inaccuracy cost the Roys in the third quarter, kicking 1.4 to the Tonners

2.2 and leaving them eight points adrift. The final quarter, with eleven goals kicked, was one of the more remarkable of the season and also probably the longest, running for an astonishing 35:45. The Tonners dominated early and led by 37 points halfway through the quarter. They kicked their last goal at the 25 minute mark, putting them 31 points up and that’s when Fitzroy made their move, adding three goals in five minutes through Sam Baker, Greg Hesse and Nathan Ligris in a frantic finish. The pressure got to everyone, including the umpires, one of whom did a ballup over the top of a clearly injured and stricken Tonners player in the dying seconds. When the siren finally sounded, the Tonners finished 11 points in front. The Tonners were well-served by the ‘usual suspects’: Dan Anthony kicked four to consolidate third place in the goalkicking and King, Gunning, Marston and Gadsden all featured prominently. The lads from Old Brighton might be two games and 43 percent ahead of Ajax but they have a horror run home, playing the SKOBs and Tigers in the last two rounds. Fitzroy finish with Parkdale and Old Melburnians.

PREMIER C

MARCELLIN STEER CLEAR AT TOP Marcellin maintained its one game advantage at the top of Premier C over second running Monash Blues with a crushing 54-point win over Old Ivanhoe. The Eagles wasted no time taking the ascendancy and then booted past the Hoes in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, Monash Blues bounced back after last weeks defeat, coming back after halftime to edge away from Peninsula.

Old Haileyburians returned to the winners list by defeating Oakleigh at home following three consecutive defeats. Williamstown CYMS outgunned PEGS in the second half in a come from behind victory. And Old Camberwell bested Therry Penola despite the Lions having more scoring shots.

Marcellin took a five goal to three lead in the first quarter, and held control for the games entirety. Their dominance grew throughout the opening three quarters until the Eagles put their foot down in the last. Another seven goals in Marcellin’s favour ended the contest as they achieved another percentage boosting victory.

Jonathan Bortolotto did the damage for Marcellin and proved the difference with seven goals while Jeremiah Antypas and Daniel McMahon contributed with four and three respectively.

Ashley Viney continued his stellar month with another best on ground performance and also added a major.

A rampant Peninsula needed victory to have any hope of playing finals this season and tested Monash Blues before falling just short. Peninsula got the slight edge in the first quarter taking a two-point lead and made it eight at the major break. Monash were made to put in a fourquarter effort by Peninsula, lifting again in the second half. The Blues held the Pirates goalless in the third quarter along with kicking three goals of their own to take a 12-point advantage going into the fourth. Another four goals in the last handed Monash the 17-point win with Nicholas 6

Petering top scoring with three.

Old Haileyburians have struggled in the last three weeks but regained some much-needed form against Oakleigh as they head into the finals.

The Bloods wasted no time with a six goal to one advantage at home. The Krushers reduced the deficit to 11-points at the half but Haileybury once again extended the margin in the third term. Oakleigh couldn’t reel in the score line in the last as Old Haileybury held onto a 42-point win. Bloods youngsters Corey Connelly (4) and Aaron Toy (3) led the scoring whilst Lachlan Treverton was their best.

Therry Penola’s accuracy at goal may have just cost them a spot in Premier C in 2016 as Old Camberwell defeated the Lions to move one game clear in eighth. Therry had a one-point lead after an even first quarter, but tripped over themselves in the second, kicking seven points while Old Camberwell booted six goals straight.

The Lions played catch up from here and slowly made progress. Therry had a real opportunity in the last as they closed within six points but the Wellers held strong to win by nine-points. Dale Angus’ five goals weren’t enough to get Therry Penola the four points – James Howells top scored for Old Camberwell with four. Fraser Wells was proclaimed best afield for his efforts and goal.

Williamstown CYMS were made to earn it by PEGS but came out on top at the final siren. The Bombers took the lead at the first change and carried a 14-point advantage into half time. The CY’s owned play in the third quarter kicking 4.8 PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD Old Ivanhoe v Old Camberwell Therry Penola v Peninsula Marcellin v PEGS Old Haileyburians v Monash Blues Oakleigh v Williamstown CYMS

to gain the lead but couldn’t fully make the most of numerous opportunities. PEGS didn’t give in in the fourth quarter but in the end their effort proved to be fruitless as Williamstown went on to win by 17-points. Nathan Bratby kicked three goals for the CY’s in only his second senior game of the season. Jake MacKenzie was named the best in the victory.

supreme here. Old Haileyburians will take on Monash Blues at home. I simply can’t see how the Bloods can outscore the Blues. Oakleigh faces Williamstown CYMS and I’m predicting the Krushers to hold onto the points at W.A. Scammell Reserve.

This week Old Ivanhoe host Old Camberwell, the Hoes can still chase second spot and a win here will help their cause. Therry Penola plays Peninsula and I expect the Pirates to come out victorious despite a rallying Therry attempting to avoid relegation. Top plays bottom as PEGS travel to Marcellin and ladder positions will reign

THICK AND THIN We’ve received a lot of great feedback on the THiCK and THiN round, which saw 36 clubs across the VAFA donning the light and dark socks in support of mental health within the VAFA and in Australian society. As I stated last week, our mental health is still not given the vast attention it requires, and it is so important that we continue fostering connections and having conversations with our peers on the matter. The player led initiative was

a wonderful acknowledgement of this fact, and the weekend’s events have no doubt left a lasting legacy on our great competition. I’ve attached a couple of brilliant photos from the weekend’s action, but head to the THiCK and THiN Facebook page for more spectacular images. Thank you to all involved in THiCK and THiN, and we hope they continue to remain an ambassador within the VAFA. #starttheconvo

TOUR DE BYRON

Ben Hampton (pictured above left with Shane Valenti), the assistant coach of the Parkdale Vultures’ senior side in Premier B, is committing to one hell of a bike ride. Hampton is planning to ride from Melbourne to Byron Bay in December over 15 days in order to raise money and awareness for Suicide Prevention Australia, a vital and ‘pretty underfunded organisation’ according to Hampton himself. The reasons behind this inspirational ride are very personal to Ben. He lost one of his closest friends just over two years ago when he was travelling around Europe. His friend had taken his own life. In an article written in the Herald Sun, Ben told the reporter, “I didn’t see it coming.

I went around Europe with him for eight months.

We were side by side the whole time and not once did I see anything to worry me. He was always an eclectic character. Would light up a room. He had that sort of personality where he made everyone feel they were the centre of attention.”

The uncertainty and mystery surrounding his death made it that much harder for Ben and those closest to the young man to understand. With the bike ride, which concludes on New Year’s Eve, Ben hopes to raise awareness and in turn honour his friend. As we spoke about last week, with statistics showing that 4 out of every 5 people to commit suicide being men, breaking the pattern and investing in our connections with friends, family and others is so very important. We wish Ben all the best in his endeavour. You can read more about Ben’s journey and donate to Suicide Prevention Australia at this website:

CLUBBIES GRAND FINALS The Clubbies. The lads who play hard, and go harder. They’ve reached the final stanza of their season and there is plenty to play for this weekend.

The Old Xaverians (who else?) are once again featured in the Club XVIII Section 1 Grand Final, taking on (FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAA) Hawthorn AFC. The Spartans (Hawthorn) are a formidable squad who have the potential to halt the Xavs’ attempt to produce a fourpeat. The Crocs, who have won 14 of the 18 premierships in the top division of the Clubbies competition, feature players of the ilk of Eddie Maas, Hughie Lyons, the 4 Silks and Clubbies legend James Mcdonell (pictured below). The Spartans, who lost to the Xavs in last year’s Grand Final, will be relying on players such as Nicholas Criticos and the Zitos. It should be a ferocious game of football between two fierce rivals. I’m expecting Hawthorn to break the trend, turn around their four-point loss in the semi final and win by 2 points. The game is on this Sunday at 2.15PM at Sportcover Arena.

In Club XVIII section 2, the undefeated St Francis Xavier take on surprise packet Melbourne High School Old Boys in the curtain raiser in another game that may well go down to the wire. However, such has SFX’s dominance been this year, it won’t surprise many if they take it comfortably. After failing to come up with two teams for Division 3 this season, the remaining players moved to the Clubbies where they have dominated from go to woe. MHSOB on the other hand finished 4th at the end of the H&A and come in as firm underdogs after solid wins against Kew and Albert Park in the lead up to the Grand Final. I’m tipping SFX to come out on top by 37 points. The game is held at Sportscover Arena, scheduled for 11.40AM this Sunday.

SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT

In the light of the events of the weekend just passed, and just in time for finals footy, it is as good a time as ever to remind every spectator of their responsibilities at VAFA fixtures.

A JOURNEY TO THE DEEP (BOX HILL) NORTH A wonderful personal article arrived on the illustrious desk of ‘For the Love of the Game’ desk this week from Box Hill North club goal umpire Peter Kotsaridis. The letter came in at around 4 pages, and detailed both Peter’s personal journey in football and his luncheon with VAFA General Manager of Football and Umpiring Brian ‘Benny’ Goodman. Considering the interesting week the VAFA has had, it also puts into perspective our responsibilities to the umpires who officiate our great game. Below is an excerpt from Peter’s anecdote.

‘As I listen to Benny’s words I reflect back to my early years and the many personal challenges I was confronted with that were being played out within my club. In my initial years I managed to break my leg in amongst crawling to about 40 games. But it was my behavior on the sidelines that had the club and most importantly myself, worried. My abuse at umpires was notorious at the time made worst by a voice that literally bellowed down the eastern freeway. I had little tolerance for them making mistakes. Little if any trust in them protecting my team mates. No respect for their authority. I couldn’t see them as people if they weren’t the perfect people I wanted them to be.

Things did change, fortunately. At the same time I was becoming more involved with the club I was also undertaking a very deep personal journey as part of understanding and growing my own mind and most importantly taking responsibility for my actions. The reality for me was that my attitude towards umpires said more about me then these innocent victims of my tirades. I had always been hard and critical on myself when making mistakes; little trust in people in positions of responsibility or authority; little trust in people in a position to protect the vulnerable; I could somehow do everything better because I was perfect. The fantasy that I carried in my mind, though legitimate as a child, was no longer real and practical in my adult life for I had ceased seeing myself as a real person, such as everyone else including umpires.

The love of the game brought me to the wonderful Box Hill North Football Club. Within this club environment I grew as a person. I’ve made many friends. I’ve always had great support to draw upon through my dark times. I’ve been fortunate to have also developed many good relationships within the VAFA administration based on mutual respect and many others within the entire VAFA community. My past and present roles have given me many great opportunities to experience the eyes of those through numerous sides of the fence and having walked miles in many shoes, it’s important that we are aware that we are all responsible not only for our individual clubs, but the health of our association, our umpires, the entire competition and above all the game that we love.’

Congratulations to Collegians’ ED MALONE – Ed played his first game in 1998 while in Year 9 at Wesley. He played his first Senior game in 2002, with stints in the Seniors and Reserves continuing until a serious back injury in 2004 slowed him down for a while. A Premiership has eluded Ed, but he has been an integral part of numerous tilts at glory, including the 2008 A Grade grand final. He has won a Reserves B&F, was captain of the Reserves, has received numerous accolades and his on field leadership has been inspirational.

200

Congratulations to Glen Eira’s SHANE HOLLOW – Shane arrived at the club with very little football experience and has become a very reliable utility player, playing Reserves and Senior football. Shane is one of those people who rarely misses training and has an eye for the goals. He is always at club functions and is a true club stalwart, well done Shane.

200

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s ADAM HELLNER – Fruity was recruited from a neighbouring park where he was found wandering near the zoo! Since then he’s developed into a straight ahead, no nonsense footballer who is really hard at it. ANZAC Day is the day that typifies his spirit and attitude to amateur football and his club is extremely proud of the way he has stuck with them through and through. It has taken nearly 19 seasons to get there and UHSVU would love to think that you could play another 50 games!

150

Congratulations to St Bernards’ TOM CAVEN – A St Bernard’s Junior prodigy, Tom won an U19 B&F (2006) before making his Senior debut in 2007 and is recognised as one of the club’s all time greats. As Senior captain with multiple Big V State honours, Tom is a dual Senior B&F winner (2008 & 2012) and was named full back in St Bernard’s Team of the Half Century. A genuine star on field and a passionate clubman off field, Tom is one of only 19 St Bernard’s players to achieve the milestone.

150

Congratulations to St Bernards’ JESSE MANUNZIO – One of a group of great clubman to come through U19 ranks and put heart and soul into ‘the snakepit’ over recent years, the Munz has made the number 52 jumper his own. Jesse made his senior debut in 2008 and played in the 2011 Grand Final. A courageous rover/small forward, Jesse’s ability to find the footy in traffic has been a feature of his terrific career to date. Congratulations to one of the most popular clubman at St Bernard’s.

150

Congratulations to De La Salle’s STEVEN HOGAN – An U19 Premiership player in 2008, Steve’s is a story of remarkable perseverance. After playing over five years of mainly Reserve grade football he was finally given an opportunity at Senior level in 2014. A tall and versatile utility, Steve has worked incredibly hard on his football and has played a significant role in the resurgence of the senior team this year. His resilience, loyalty and team first attitude has earned him enormous respect.

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s TOM WOODLOCK – Tom has overcome plenty of injuries on the way to this terrific achievement. A budding ruckman, not exactly in his prime, indicates just how well the Reserves are going. Currently Reserves coach, Wood gives direction through courageous examples week in, week out. The Reserves are lucky to be guided by such a good football mentor. We hope that 200 games are in your sights!

100

Congratulations to De La Salle’s TOM HUMPHREY – Debuting in 2010, Tom played in the U19 Premiership, was joint B&F and named in the U19 Premier Team of the Year.

Tom was named full back in the Team of the Decade and back pocket in the club’s best team over its first 60 years.

100

Congratulations to Collegians’ NICK CREMA – It seems like Nick has been around forever, and 100 games seems a bit light on. Study and work commitments, injury, travel and other pursuits have kept his games tally down, but when he commits he has a real crack and is a very handy player indeed. Fearless, highly skilled and a ripping bloke, Nick is one of those guys who doesn’t say much, preferring to let his actions do the talking. Not surprisingly he is loved by his peers, young and old.

100

Congratulations to Prahran Assumption’s ED MACDONALD – Ed is the first player to come through the Junior ranks and play 100 Senior games since the juniors were re-formed in 1999. Ed won the U12 B&F and three years later he was a member of the first Junior Two Blues Premiership in 2002. Ed’s Senior debut was as a skinny 16 year-old wingman and has since transformed into a hard running defender/on baller and was a key member of the unbeaten 2011 Division 3 Premiership.

100

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian’s HEATH CHIPPERFIELD – Commencing as a talented under-age midfielder where he won the VAFA U18 Best and Fairest in 2010, ‘Chippa’ has graduated to Senior football to become a high quality rover. Heath is very skilful, hard at the ball, good around the goals, and a popular clubman.

100

Congratulations to Aquinas’ JACK MCDONALD – ‘Stats’ started in the U19’s in 2009 where he played for a couple of years. A great Clubman and now Reserves Captain, Jack is always there to do a job, putting his hand up a couple of years ago to be Secretary. He is part of an ever reliable Aquinas family and joins his brother, together with a few (O’Loughlin) uncles and cousins, in the 100 club. Jack is one of the most well liked players at the Club.

100

Congratulations to West Brunswick AFC’s WENDELL VAGG – Not only has Wendell excelled on the football field in his seven years at Park Street, his contributions off the field can only be described as huge. A committee member and co-head of footy ops, his weekly efforts are instrumental to every player getting out on the ground and training track with ease.

100

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s LUKE TEMMING – Luke arrived from Rupertswood with a number of buddies and has proved his worth both on & off the field. Tez has played a majority of his footy at UHS-VU either in the ruck or in the forward line. His games are characterised by playing in front and a never give up attitude. These days the “old back” limits appearances but when he does it is 100% effort.

100

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s DAVID FAZAKERLEY – Well known for his long kicking at goal and occasional handball near the sticks (mainly to himself ), Faz has become a pivotal member of the club. He has the occasional run in the ruck and always hits the ball to advantage. Well done and we all look forward to 150!

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s JOEL MODEN – Joel has chalked up his 100th game since being recruited by Coach Watts seven years ago. Joel is a hard working backman renowned for his close checking style. He is often asked to play on bigger opponents but time and again comes out on top. Well done on this significant achievement.

100

Congratulations to St John’s JARROD GAGET – Jarrod is a dual-premiership player and plays his 100th game for the club. The flint-hard inside midfielder was part of St Johns’ inaugural premiership in 2005 and received best-on-ground honours in the club’s 2011 flag.

50

Congratulations to Old Haileyburians’ TIM WITHEROW – A dashing wingman or defender with plenty of toe, Tim joined the club straight from school in 2013 and has missed only a handful of games since, all bar a couple in the Seniors. This year he has made many solid contributions to the Bloods’ backline in that familiar number 22.

50

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian’s HARRY ANGLEY – Beginning as a talented under-age player, ‘H’ has adapted well to his role as a strong defender in the Senior team. Harry is very determined, plays close, provides a great contest, wins and clears the footy, and is much respected by his fellow teammates.

50

Congratulations to St John’s DALE DUGGAN – Dale played his 50th game for the club last week. The Reserves utility has showed his wares in most positions on the ground and has also made a handful of Senior appearances.

Congratulations to Glen Eira’s DANIEL ENTWISTLE – Daniel has been a prolific goal kicker in his days playing junior football and is proving to be just as prolific in senior football. Daniel is a great team player and is very popular with his team mates.

50

Congratulations to Aquinas’ LUKE BROUWER, JOE MORRISON-STOREY, MICK VALENTINE, SAM WILLIAMS and JOSH TILLEY – Luke, Joe, Mick and Sam all achieved the 50 games milestone over the last few games. Luke and Mick are valuable players in the Reserves while Joe and “Willo” each perform vital roles in the Seniors midfield and forward line respectively.

Josh plays his 50th game this week and is a hard at it player who gives his all in his own quiet way. Starting in the Reserves in 2013, he now plays Seniors and Reserves equally. Josh is a well respected team member. Congratulations to all five players.

50

Congratulations to UHS-VU’s JANNE MANNILA, CHRIS MARCHIO, CRAIG MAWDSLEY, SAM SMITS, WILL CHEESMAN, BRENTON CROSS and BEN ANDERSON– Janne, the Finnish experiment has finally played his 50th game after being smuggled into Australia.

J Man gives 100% on the field at all times. Current President, Chris also donned the green & tan for the 50th time. Squirter loves to run and bounce, generally in the right direction.

Craig is 100% hard at the ball. A very fair player at all times, he is rarely beaten for the hard contested ball. Sam has taken nearly 10 years for his 50th. Currently a fill in for the Clubbies, many opposition players have felt smitten by the Smits tackle. Clubbies Assistant Coach, Will has reached 50 games as well. Cheese was tried as a forward and was sent to the backline where he has established himself in a key position, generally beating his opponent. Brenton is a dogged, determined, backman who attacks at every opportunity. Ben played in the 2010 U18 Premiership and is back from overseas to clock up his first 50 at UHS-VU. Ben is a hard at it type who is composed with the footy and delivers well.

DIVISION 1

JUST A BIG HOT MESS Football clubs, at a lower level at least, are tied together by one indisputable fact; Their love for the club. They come from a host of different backgrounds, hold varying world views, hail from different parts of Melbourne and make ends meet in different capacities. The reason I mention this, as many of you will be very aware by now, is in the murky aftermath of the abrupt end to the KewBulleen Templestowe game at Victoria Park. The incident was ugly and investigations are taking place this week to get to the bottom of something that Australian Rules football as a whole has attempted to eradicate. Kew and Bulleen Templestowe are clubs of great character and passion, but Saturday’s events have thrown both into a time warp of an past era. With controversy comes the horde of social commentary on the various applications that have become the bane of any criminal investigation. This is a time to remain circumspect and remember that we play under one competition banner, the Amateurs.

Here’s hoping for a clean investigation, and an excellent finals series.

I’ll start with this fiery clash between the two old clubs. Kristian Cherbakof went down early with an injury but the Bullants fought on, laying down a fierce challenge to the 2nd place Bears. However, Bulleen entered the final term down by 5 goals with their future in Division 1 firmly on the line. An impassioned speech from coach Anthony Palmer challenged the squad to respond, however Kew had other ideas, with Droessler’s goal handing them an unassailable lead. At this point, frustration from the Bullants’ boys begun to boil over, resulting in multiple 25s being given away and a game that was slowly spinning out of control. The end of the match came prematurely when Andrew Brazzale (knocked out and broken nose) and Rob Maibaum (suspected broken jaw) were struck by a player, who is under investigation, off the ball.

Brazzale spent the night in hospital, where he received surgery. Unfortunately the incident led to an ugly brawl that involved portions of the crowd, but it was quickly smothered by police presence.

It is an incident that neither Kew nor BulleenTemplestowe or the VAFA as a whole can be proud of. We are well past the days when attacks on a 16

@balmey21 sporting field are treated with indifference and the usage of the old adage of ‘what happens on the field stays on the field’ is now a blurry memory.

St Mary’s Salesian and Prahran Assumption fought out a cracking contest in a match that once again illustrated how desperately unlucky the 5th placed Prahran Assumption have been this season. St Mary’s Salesian emerged 12-point victors, and will take some momentum into the first of two successive clashes against Old Geelong this weekend. In his 100th game for the club, Heath Chipperfield was instrumental for the visitors, and Gary ‘Bucky’ Purantatameri kicked 4 including a ripping snap in the last to secure victory. The Double Blues, who had every chance to steal the game, missed late opportunities. Jon Rice kicked 3 and Daniel Anglin and James Musster continued their excellent form.

Old Geelong pummelled NOBS/St Pats, who has fallen into a giant slump after appearing a finals’ smoky as little as 3 weeks ago. Jack McMeel and Callum Wood combined, as they have so frequently done this year, to kick 9 goals. Hugh McKay was the pick of their mids, kicking 4 goals and providing strong link ups on the massive Como Park. NOBS/St Pats once again appreciated the excellent defensive work of Gerrard Bence, but they were comprehensively smashed across the rest of the ground. The loss has seen them dip into 8th spot, and they finish the season playing 7th placed Old Mentonians.

Ormond grabbed another win in their impeccable home and away season, beating Yarra Valley by 52 points in a game that also featured a couple of unsavoury incidents. Dead rubber games between top and bottom near the end of the season are generally fraught with danger, as frustration can boil over. With the game basically over by half time, there was little for Yarra Valley to claim from the game except for personal pride. Nick Pask and Will Elsworth fought hard for the home side, however it was quality and quantity that ruled as Coghlan and Sam Mason, as they always do, ran amuck through the midfield.

on a disappointing afternoon for the Friar boys.

Old Mentonians secured their place in Division 1 for another season with a 55 point win over Whitefriars. It was a surprising result over a side that has freshened up significantly since the middle of the season, however with the season over, it is not uncommon for the resurgence to be flat lined. Dustan Mills was significant up forward, providing a strong target and kicking 4 goals. There was 37 shots on goal to 17 in Old Mentonians’ favour, a clear indication of their dominance. Michael Nitas kicked 3 for the visitors

DIVISION 2

@BrentyMann

IT’S TIGHT AT THE TOP The closing of the penultimate round of the year signalled the Division 2 demise for both South Melbourne and Elsternwick, who are due for relegation at the close of play. Last week’s results also set-up a tantalising and intriguing race to secure fourth spot between Northern Blues, Old Paradians and Eltham. Three doesn’t go into two, and for one of those sides, the final siren of 2015 will sound at around 4:30pm. Eltham face the unenviable task of Ivanhoe at Eltham College, and if they’re able to build on recent form, will have well and truly earnt their finals berth.

Northern will start warm favourites as it welcomes relegation dodger Monash, who should not be taken lightly. Parade head to Lindsay Hassett Oval to face Division 3 bound South Districts, who could offer up some final round resistance.

Ivanhoe’s 43-point drubbing of a disappointing St John’s was the other intriguing result from last week. In a top-of-the-table clash, the JOCs were found wanting for the second time this year. St John’s inability to make the most of early opportunities kept Ivanhoe in the game, who then worked its way into the game, and then put the foot down. The JOCs were all at sea. The Hoes piled on seven-goals-to-one in the first term and held the JOCs at bay for the remainder of the game. St John’s dismal forward pressure allowed Ivanhoe’s defenders to simply waltz out of defensive 50 and set-up countless forays forward.

It was clear St John’s failed to learn from previous mistakes and are playing with little synergy.

Ivanhoe’s imperious system sees them as clear premiership favourites with the gap between the other three finals aspirants widening. The JOCs have failed to recapture its early season form and if last week’s performance is anything to go by… they have plenty of work to do.

Eltham’s emerging forward Benjamin Gill put in his best-performance of the year as he amassed 13 majors in his sides 40-point win over Melbourne High. Gill has kicked 30 goals from six games 18

and is one of the in-form forwards of Division 2.

The game was a shoot-out with 36 goals kicked collectively. No more than four goals separated the two sides heading into the last quarter and the Turtles’ season was on the line, and they lifted accordingly. Eltham banged on seven-goals-tothree and in doing so, leapt to third spot. The Unicorns hung tough for the majority of the day and will look to cap off an improved 2015 against Richmond Central this week.

Richmond Central and Elsternwick treated the crowd to a goal fest on the confines of Oval 2 but it was the Snakes who prevailed by 80-points.

Richmond Central burst out of the blocks with ten goals to two and kept their foot on the throttle for the rest of the game. Snakes’ spearhead Jake Munro feasted on a leaky Wicks’ defence, bagging 13 and was handsomely supported by Steve Bugeja who slotted six. Elsternwick key-forward Justin Hunter built on his late season form with a bag of six as Scott Grace chimed in with three.

Richmond should view its consolidation as a positive for 2015 and will favour themselves against Melbourne High this week. Elsternwick will be looking to end 2015 on a high as it heads to Thomas Carroll to face a plucky St John’s.

Northern Blues kept its finals hopes well and truly alive with a gutsy 20-point win over northern neighbours Old Paradians. It was one of Parade’s most disappointing losses of the year and saw them slip into a three-horse race in order to qualify for the finals. A win would have secured their topfour spot, but now they have let themselves fall into a precarious position. Northern has beaten three of the top-four sides and is the finals smoky.

WHO CAN BEAT ESL? AQUINAS DEF. BY ALBERT PARK Aquinas never seemed troubled. Dominating the game at home, increasing their lead at each exchange until late in the last quarter when Albert Park finished on a 5 to 1 goal term and reduced the margin from 43 to 20 points. This victory well and truly sews up 3rd and a mock final against West Brunswick, next week. Justin Antinucci was the Falcons best with Ryan Want and Jared Mills leading the goal-kickers with 2 apiece. Patrick O’Leary (BOG) and Jack Price led all goal-scorers with 3 each.

EMMAUS ST. LEO’S DEF. WEST BRUNSWICK A great day for footy at Bennettswood between the two top sides. West Brunswick came out running with the Animals looked out of sorts as they missed a lot of easy chances in the first half.

The Magpies held a 27-point lead at 1/2 time. The Animals defence stiffened up in the third and they got on top in the midfield and banged on 7 goals but were still down by 5 points at the end of the third quarter. It was an arm wrestle in the last with the Magpies holding the lead for most of the last quarter due to some inaccurate ESL goal kicking, however, the Animals managed a few goals late to take off a 7-point victory. Best on ground for the Animals, was Jon ‘Chooka’ O’Connor. James Simpson and Cashin Cormac were best for the Magpies.

GLEN EIRA DEF. BY POWER HOUSE Glen Eira hosted Power House and yet another 200 game milestone event took place. This time for Saint Steve Vamvakis. Power House has vivid memories from the last time they allowed the Saints to beat them on their ground by 18 points and Saturday was redemption. Firing out to a 34 point lead at half-time, it seemed like they not only swapped ends but jumpers as well. The Saints restricted Power House to just the solitary point in the third to then snatch the lead by a point, 3-4 minutes into the last. For fear of déjà vu, Power House then rallied and outscored them 3 goals 20

@gavsouthern to 1, to run out (eerily) 18-point victors. Daniel Entwistle (4 goals) again fired and Rob McGirr was the Saints best whilst Luke Stubbs (6 goals) was head and shoulders above the rest for Power House.

SWINBURNE UNI DEF. UHS-VU Swinburne Uni and UHS-VU faced off to decide the bottom two places in the finals. The first quarter was tightly contested, however the Razorbacks should have put them away if not for squandered opportunities, kicking 2-7 to the Vultures solitary goal. Swinny welcomed back Danny “Doc” Manning as he kicked all of his 4 goals in the 1st half, running hard from the wing. The 2nd & 3rd quarters saw the Razorbacks get ahead with some outstanding backline pressure through Marcus Lingham and Michael Daly who never allowed their opponents to get an easy kick. With some heated contests at times, the Vultures fought hard in the last to save the important percentage for finals positions. Dean Benstead led the Vultures with 3 goals and Swinny’s Daniel Noonan was BOG. ELEY PARK DEF. BY HAWTHORN In the only one-sided affair for the round, the injury-plagued Sharks were blown out of the water early (46-3 1st quarter) by Hawthorn but were more than competitive for the middle two quarters. The Sharks were happy with players such as Dan Isaac, Chris Marsiglio and Owen Dickson. Andrew Zaicos was a welcome return and played well off halfback. For the Hawks, the “Derricks” were strong with Dave Pritchard and Brad “Muddy” Waters dominating. Rich Ogge was strong up forward with 6 majors, Jess Kenneally (5) and Jesse Lehmann (4) relishing some time up forward. The Hawks’ supreme fitness showed through kicking 10 goals in the last quarter. Dean “Ranchy” Monohan has been super on the wing since getting his photo in the paper and Paul DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD Uhs-Vu v Glen Eira Albert Park v Eley Park West Brunswick v Aquinas

POTTER WEAVES MAGIC FOR PARKSIDE It’s finally here, the final round. The 30-degree days, the hill sprints the anticipation of new season feels like a decade ago. For some, the last round brings a relief, another season under the belt, some better for the run, some worse. The off season provides an opportunity to take stock, address the reasons for the premature finish to the season, and begin to rebuild.

But for others, the curtain call means the summer of regret begins. A platitude of what if’s haunting you throughout the summer, or until, the first delivery of a cricket ball. But however you feel about the final round, playing finals or not, season 2015 in division 4 has been a cracker, and it’s only going to get better. As you all sit down to your pasta on your Thursday night or enjoying this yarn over a hotdog on Saturday, I thought I’d make it easy for you and decipher the top six as it stands.

The final six appears all but settled after the weekend’s results, while there is room for sides to swap and change within in the six, Mount Lilydale will have to knock off Point Cook if they are any hope to sneak into finals contention.

Canterbury and Westbourne have locked in the top two rungs, providing Westbourne don’t get hammered by 200 points, Point Cook has third secured and Box Hill rounds out the top four, their spot cemented.

The last two spots however make for a far more interesting final round, with any of Parkside, North Brunswick or Mount Lilydale potentially missing out on a finals dance. North Brunswick has the bye, stranding them on 36 points. They pushed Westbourne to the death last weekend, but couldn’t get the chocolates, meaning they have an agonizing wait before confirmation of their finals participation.

Fortunately for our bearded brethren from the North, Mount Lilydale have a tough task ahead, travelling from the far east, to the far west for a clash against premiership aspirants, Point Cook.

Should Mount Lilydale pull off the upset of the 22

www.vafa.com.au

year, and win by a significant margin, they will leap ahead of North Brunswick and leave the bulls licking their wounds.

In the games over the weekend, Parkside smashed Masala by 132 points. There was no stopping the ruthless Parkside boys, with Shane Potter kicking 9 and Brandon Walters snagging 4 of his own. Masala remain 1.5 percentage points clear of Chadstone, however the wolves are sniffing in the final round.

Potter and Walters will create headaches in their finals, with their current matchup due to take place against Old Westbourne. Josh Kyle kicked 3 for Masala in one of few bright moments for the side.

North Brunswick pushed Old Westbourne to the brink in a tough week for the club. They lost club legend Peter Dowsett last Wednesday. The Bulls came out snarling, sticking with Westbourne throughout the game, only to pull up 18 points short at the close of day. Luke Vella kicked 3 for Old Westbourne and William Soonalole was their best.

For the Bulls, Andrew Keegan was stoic down back and Robert Santacroce kicked 3.

In other results, Canterbury smashed South Mornington by 191 points, Manningham knocked off Chadstone in a relatively tight affair by 33 points and Box Hill North pulled off an upset against Point Cook as their rematch approaches.

MATCH OF THE ROUND Canterbury play Old Westbourne in what appears to be a grand final preview. This will be an interesting clash, as both sides don’t have a whole lot to play for. I’m tipping Canterbury to come away with the points, but this game won’t tell us a whole lot as I expect both sides will be holding a couple of tricks back.

that his true loves, in no particular order, were North Brunswick, Carlton, and Victoria Bitter. That changed when his children Lindon, Karrah, and Teagan came along. His devotion was realigned when he had grandchildren of which he was truly proud. Condolences to them also and to Tracey.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 DAMIAN BYRNE – MAZENOD Congratulations to Damian Byrne of Mazenod who is this week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star nomination.

Damian played the last four games for Mazenod’s Premier B side and has found himself in the club’s best players in each of the four games.

Utilising an explosive turn of pace, Damian has secured a spot in the senior midfield as an attacking and highly damaging on-baller.

In his first year at the club, Damian has impressed all on the coaching panel, playing in the Colts, Under 19 Section 4, Under 19 Section 2 and Premier B seniors.

The only thing more exciting than the dominant role he has played in the above-mentioned grades all season, is that he has done so as a 17-yearold. Playing a similar role to Adelaide Crows star Patrick Dangerfield, Damian has no issue with taking the game on and subsequently causing nightmares for opposition teams.

A natural leader both on and off the field, Damian looks set to undertake leadership roles within the club into the future.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1994 and playing his first full season of senior football.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2010 AJAX (third) had a great win over Beaumaris (second) In C Section and with a greater percentage than the Sharks, would hope to take their second spot in the coming rounds. The ‘Jackas’ had gone into the game as underdogs given their loss to Beauy in round 6 and their poor form of late. They were also trailing at half time (3.9 to 5.8) but their third quarter was a beauty (6.3 to 0.2) and their final, winning score 12.14 to 7.10. AJAX coach, Bernie Sheehy, had provided a ‘stinging’ rebuke at half time and a typical goal from Gary Blieden early in the third term started the onslaught in that quarter. Best – White, Lew (6), Lewski, Blieden, Routman, Jankie (AJAX) and Coote, Ensor, Catlin, Bennett, Carroll, Blain (Beauy).

In Division 1 Peninsula Old Boys stopped Williamstown CYMS barnstorming run of late with a huge win, 24.12 to 5.4 and in doing so held on to their second place and made it very hard for ‘Willy’ to make the finals. If it wasn’t all over at quarter time (8.2 to 1.1) it certainly was by half time with a lead of almost 12 goals. Best – Payze (5), W Coghlan, J Coghlan (7), Rees, Clarke, Ashdown (Peninsula) and Taylor, Olarenshaw, Elliott, Read, Long, Walsh (Williamstown).

Division 1 senior coaches were Steve Box (Aquinas), Harry Harisiou (Bulleen Temp), Tim Powell (Monash Blues), Richard Peoples (North Old Boys/St Pats), Andrew Hayes (Old Mentonians), Mark Glenn (Peninsula Old Boys), Gerard Jess (Sth Melbourne Districts), Kirk Norton (Werribee), Greg Feutrill (Whitefriars OC) and Alan Elliott (Williamstown CYMS).

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 In C Section, Old Camberwell stayed in touch with the top four with a big win over Therry Penola, 25.10 to 11.15, leaving them only 4 points behind.

It was a strong all round performance by the “Wellers”. Best – Whelan, Horgan, D Mitchell (3), Howard, Perryman, Goodale (OV) and R Bannister, Faroldi, Forster-Knight, Callegari, C Bannister, Fenton (TP).

In D1 Section, Old Carey needed to win to secure a spot in the finals but at half time, versus Yarra Valley Old boys, they trailed by nearly 5 goals.

Whatever was used to enthuse them in the second half, it worked as they kicked 7.4 to 1.1 in the third term and a further 7 goals to 2 in the last. Best – 42

Evans (3), Unkles, Williams, Kent, Thompson (4), Remmers (OC) and Clark, Middlin, Stevenson, Drew, R Valoppi, Hale (YV).

Swinburne University’s Brett O’Mara became the fifth Swinburne player to record 150 games. A long time member of the club committee, Bretto’s awkward kicking style did not stop him working hard on his game in this season, especially in the gym. As a hard running rover, Bretto’s added strength enabled him to break tackles more frequently and the club were looking forward to many more games from this great clubman.

U19 Junior Section 3 coaches were Michael Konsky (AJAX), Mick Lee (Bentleigh), Zoran Collavic (La Trobe Uni), Brad James (MHSOB), Bruce Waldron (Monash Blues), Mick Holden (Oakleigh), Ben Covelli (Old Ivanhoe), Mark Spinoso (Old Paradians), Owen Lalor (StBedes MT) and Justin Gray (Uni Blacks).

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 The final four in A Section was all but decided – Old Xaverians, Ormond, Old Scotch, University Blues with only De La Salle an outside chance.

De La scored an excellent win against Old Xavs in this round at the Waverley Road ‘bog-heap’; Their 6.2 to 2.0 in the first quarter was the difference as only 5 more goals were scored in the remaining three quarters! Xavs simply could not make up the difference and were now only on top of the ladder by percentage over an improving Ormond.

Best – Betheras, Grant, O’Callaghan, Chun, Brasher, Phillips (DLS) and Tuddenham, Keyhoe, Landrigan, Dunn, Holmes, Leoncelli (Xavs).

It was a quagmire out at Bundoora where Old Paradians (5th) in B Section were making an attempt to make the top four but they needed to defeat Therry (2nd) to have a chance. It was tough in the heavy going and both teams had only 2 behinds on the scoreboard at quarter time.

Therry managed 3 goals in the second quarter, the score 3.3 to 0.3 at half time. Paradians could only score 4 behinds in the third term while Therry only managed 1 behind. The game was still up for grabs at the final break but Therry were too committed and too strong, finishing 6.11 to 1.7.

Peter Riley broke the senior games played record at Mazenod when he played his 259th game.

This figure surpassed the previous record held by Adrian Green. Jeremy Rae played his 150th game for Old Haileybury.

Senior field umpires in the B Section games in this round were P Gersch, G Gioras, P Keogh, P Callil, J Garrett, H Little, W Hinton, G Ridd, P Simpson and THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

T Tingiri.

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 Top team in C Section, Fawkner, although undefeated, had some difficulty with Therry early in the game but eventually broke clear to win comfortably 19.20 to 10.4. It was hard to see at this stage as to who could defeat this well balanced team with a multitude of goal-scorers. Best – Busst, Hills, Weir, Buckley, O’Leary, Mitchell (Fawk) and Wrigglesworth (4), Cerini, Ratcliffe, Matton, Whyley (Therry).

In D Section, top team Old Trinity kicked poorly in their match, 9.24, but that score was good enough to beat the fifth side Balaclava 2.7 and as a result Balaclava would now struggle to make the finals, being two games plus percentage outside the four. Best – Allibon, Brent, Mravlek, Wallace, Adgemis, Dobson (OT) and Palmer, Angwin, Breslin, Rafferty, Monaghan, Withers (Bala).

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 22 year old Uni Blues player, Chris Maxwell was selected as Victorian Rhodes Scholar for 1975 and at the completion of the season would be leaving for Oxford. Chris was to go on and finish 4th in the VAFA’s B Section best and fairest for the season.

45 YEARS AGO – 1970 Ormond kicked 3 goals against the strong wind in the last quarter to defeat Melbourne High School Old Boys by 26 points. It was MHSOB’s third successive defeat but they held on to their fourth position due to Monash’s loss.

The VAFA Umpires Association welcomed Jack Fox, Les Bohen, David Doherty, Bill Mason, Norman Sharpe and Ron Saunder as life members.

Milton Beattie, who led Hampton Rovers Reserves to three successive premierships, played his 250th game.

UHSOB full forward Davis kicked 15 of his team’s 25 goals against Hampton Rovers.

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 In E Section, St Pats Old Collegians made sure of their second place by defeating ES&A Bank 14.13 to 6.8. St Pats had it pretty well sewn up by half time leading by over 5 goals and they cruised home and even switched a few players around.

Best – Seaburgh (4), Labb, Sierakowski, Gartlan, M Murrihy, Martin (St Pats) and Robinson, Jackson, Kirby, Whelan, Auhl, Ryan (ES&A).

It was an interesting result in the ‘top of the table’ THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

clash in F Section. The powerful Reservoir Old Boys team took on second placed Old Ivanhoe in what was expected to be a preview of both the section second semi final and grand final. Reservoir had won 16 on end and Ivanhoe had lost only 2 but were 3 games ahead of the next best. Reservoir missed a number of opportunities in the first quarter kicking 1.5 to Old Ivanhoe’s 2.0. Scores were level at half time but Reservoir led narrowly at three quarter time in a battle of the defences 6.8 to 5.2. Old Ivanhoe came back strongly in the last term but just failed as Reservoir finished ahead, 7.9 to 7.4, The final series could yet prove to be not one sided!

St Kevin’s ruckman Denis Davies played his 100th game having joined the club in 1960. All but two of his games had been in the senior team.

Tony Johnson played his 100th game for Caulfield Grammarians and had struggled through the last 10 games with a knee injury. Tony was also busy off the field as Club Secretary.

History was made at the Ormond Past and Present Players’ Dinner in so much as at least 3 members were present from every team since the club’s inception in 1932.

There were plenty of club social events around this time of the season – Footscray Tech Old Boys (final Bar-B-Que), Hampton Rovers (End of Season Fancy Dress), Parkside (Dinner Dance), Ivanhoe (Card Night), Paradians (Pleasant Sunday Morning), Old Carey (Progressive Dinner), Power House (End of Season Party) and North Old Boys (Presentation Night and Dinner Dance).

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

Fifth side Old Xaverians made no impact on Coburg although the final score of 11.19 to 7.10 in Coburg’s favour was not too bad from the Xavs point of view. Best – Park (7), P Rockow, A Roberts, R Dugdale (Cob) and Mills, O’Brien, Greenway, Donovan, Corby (Xavs).

The tribunal were their usual tough self when they handed out 6 matches to one player for ‘filthy’ language and 4 matches to another for disputing the umpire’s decision on a number of occasions.

That player had also been ordered from the ground in the last quarter!

BERNARDS FADEOUT WORRYING LEADING INTO FINALS St.Bernards seemingly had the game won at ¾ time in their clash with St. Kevins at T.H.King. However, as so often happens, St Kevins created a new chapter as they showed the kind of grit and determination that could win them the Premiership. SKOB kicked 6 goals to zero in the final stanza to come out 3-point winners and dislodge the Snowdogs from the top of the tree. It was a much needed confidence booster for St.Kevins who have been playing some inconsistent football of late but may have just found their feet at the right time of the year. Di Biase and Kerr had great days for SKOB whilst Slevison and Kennedy were accurate in front of goals kicking 2 each.

St Bernards’ Delzoppo continues to dominate the competition and was huge again, however he couldn’t stop the rot when SKOB came. A huge result in the context of finals positioning, Bernards drop to second behind the Old Xavs and are now in danger of losing a home semi.

Credit to St.Kevins for their ‘never give up’ attitude that will prove vital in the finals. They could well avenge last year’s Grand Final loss this season.

Beaumaris continue to slink under the radar in 2015, going about their business quietly.

They are currently 4th, slowly emerging as a contender behind the big 3. They continued their recent run of success with an 80-point win over Scotch at the Aquarium. Beauy was never tested throughout the day kicking 4 goals in the first and stopping Scotch from doing much damage on the scoreboard. Buckle booted 3 and Beattie–Powell was good with 2 majors

FB: HB: C: HF: FF: R: INTER: 44

whilst Kelly and Gibbins were outstanding and will be influential finals’ players. Padbury, fresh off 12 goals last week, didn’t quite have the same impact and could only manage 2 in a tough day for the Cardinals.

Uni Blues got back on the winners list in a tough encounter with Trinity in Bulleen. Not much separated the two sides at quarter time with Blues holding a solitary point lead at the first change. They managed to sneak out to an 8-point lead at half time. Trinity however, rallied and led the Blues at the final change before Blues hit back to win by 26pts. Another great contest however it will be a tough pill to swallow for the last placed Trinity who desperately needed a boost to their ailing season. Keach was outstanding for the Blues with 2 goals and plenty of the footy. Meerman and Sheils were Trinity’s best players.

Old Melburnians were no match for a strong De La Salle outfit at Dairy Bell with the home side recording an 80pt victory. OMs have lost no friends in the way they have gone about things this season however De La were far too skillful with their ball use and their trademark corridor usage was splendid. Greichen, Michael, Marchese and Saunders all kicked 3 goals and all were named in the best players. Lovelock was named OMs best player kicking 2 and getting plenty of the footy. Monk and Paine were impressive as well.

Old Xaverians took the points in a walkover against Uni Blacks and went to the top of the ladder after Bernards lost, setting themselves up beautifully for a home final in Week 1.

SECTION TWO Caulfield Grammar secured a finals berth on the weekend, skipping two games clear of fifth placed Whitefriars with a 109-point smashing of Marcellin OC. The Fields were ferocious at the contest from the outset, knowing full well that a win would cement their fourth position. A six goal burst in the second quarter set them on their way and Marcellin were powerless to stop their opposition who were intent on burying them and playing finals football. Xavier Jordan was everywhere and Jesse Toniolo starred in the win, kicking two goals and playing a part in several other scoring thrusts.

Old Brighton sent a message to the rest of the competition doing as they pleased against third placed Fitzroy enroute to an 85-point thumping of the Roys. If there was a sliver of doubt that the Tonners are the clear premiership favourite, those thoughts were quickly extinguished in the first half of Saturday’s encounter. The football was brilliant, daring and ruthless. By the half time siren the Lions were goalless and 44-points down, Conar Macleod was in dazzling form on his way to four majors and a severe case of leather poisoning. For Fitzroy, they have to regroup and have a strong performance next week against Marcellin in the final round of the season.

For Old Brighton, they couldn’t be peaking at a better time and another flag is within reach.

Elsewhere, Old Ivanhoe outlasted a plucky Mazenod outfit by 4 points, St Bedes/Mentone defeated Collegians by 25-points, and Parkdale ended Whitefriars finals ambitions with a comfortable 78-point drubbing of the lacklustre Friars.

SECTION THREE Williamstown CYMS are a team in seriously, seriously good form. On Saturday afternoon they faced an undermanned Old Xaverians outfit and blew them off the park by 164-points.

The ball rarely left their half and the Xavs were smashed from pillar to post. Mitchell Parkinson dominated for Willy, booting 11 majors and in the process taking his tally to an impressive 61 for the season. He will no doubt be a vital cog in the Williamstown machine in their upcoming finals campaign.

Hampton Rovers stunned Ormond at E.E Gunn reserve on Saturday. With fourth place on the line the Rovers played their best match of the season to run out 95-point winners. The result could be disastrous for Ormond, as the percentage boost for the Rovers could prove crucial this time next week. The 6% that separates the Rovers and Ormond could determine who finishes fourth and who misses out. Next week the Monders take on bottom placed St Bernards, with Hampton wrestling an in form Old Carey team.

Elsewhere, Old Geelong thumped St Bernards by 159-points, and Old Carey couldn’t miss in their 75-point win over Old Camberwell

UMPIRES CORNER

@VAFAUA

MILESTONES Last Saturday two long standing members Grant Wardrop and Simon Stokes both celebrated their 300th VAFA Match. Grant umpired the Premier match Old Trinity v De La Salle and Simon umpired the Premier C match Peninsula v Monash Blues.

Both Grant and Simon would like to thank their respective panels for making the day enjoyable as well as the clubs involved who all recognised their significant milestone.

PUPPY RESCUE A few weeks ago two of our umpires where involved in a rescue of a different kind. Senior goal umpire Anthony Damen and boundary umpire Jack Rogers saved a girl’s dog from being attacked by two other dogs (possibly Staffys (which can be vicious dogs)). According to Jack, AD leapt from his car and raced across 4 lanes of traffic to save this little white fluffy dog, Roxy, from being attacked. Needless to say that both umpires were not harmed - or at the ground an hour before the game started. Of course like any good field umpire would, every ‘all clear’ down AD’s end went like, “All Clear Roxy”. Not to name people - but some are saying that this could be the best excuse for being late ever.

WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER! Kevin “Chillie’’ Segota has added to the growing list of umpires that have taken out the postgame raffle. At De La v Xavs a few weeks ago, he took home a nice 1.5 litre of Leaping Lizard, 2011 Cab Merlot. De La tells us it’s a great drop. To add to this recent win, he has been cleaning up at the poker table on a Thursday night. His name may be changed to Kevin “Chillie card ace” Segota.

GRANT WARDROP

TIGHT SQUEEZE Last Saturday at Old Trinity, seven umpires were appointed to the Premier game on the main oval and six umpires appointed to the Under 19 match on the back oval. For those who do not know the umpires rooms at Old Trinity are the smallest in the VAFA (being about 2 square metres). Hopefully in the near future something can be done about improving the rooms so 13 umpires are not required to prepare for a match in a shoe box.

COMFORTABLE WINS ALL ROUND UHS-VU Flemington has put some breathing space between themselves and St Bernards for second place with a 15 point win over their rival.

UHS-VU led from start to finish with Finn Devlin and Matthew Mallia both kicking three goals in the win.

Williamstown registered a comprehensive 50 point win over Point Cook. Point Cook led at quarter time by three points but from then on it was all one-way traffic with Charley Bold having a good game for Williamstown.

La Trobe was five goal winners over University Blues. The Blues were never in the game after La Trobe kept them goalless in the third term. Liam Guy and Patrick Carroll had great games for La Trobe, kicking five and four goals respectively.

Old Paradians were too strong for Parkside, winning 77 to 43. Joseph Bland turned in a good performance for Old Paradians with three goals.

U19 SECTION 4

BIG WINS AND PENINSULA DOWNED In perhaps the biggest upset of the season thus far, Peninsula, who has won every game comfortably this season, has lost. The culprit was Monash Blues who have turned in some big performances in recent week. At three quarter time Peninsula led by three points but the Blues defence stepped up in the last, restricting their opponents to a one goal term. Nicholas Woodland was the standout with four goals for the Blues.

Mazenod has cracked the double ton again, putting 35 goals passed Melbourne High who would be quite happy that next week is their last game for the year. Dylan Spooner kicked 12 goals while Jacob Murdock registered six in the 230 to 24 drubbing.

Oakleigh 157 to 43. St Kevins defeated Therry Penola by 101 points with Wray kicking 9 while Beaumaris smashed Parkdale 146 to 18.

In the final game, Northern Blues beat De La by 23 points. Jordan Hamilton was best on for the Blues while Matthew Simons kicked five goals for De La. UNDER 19 Section 4 Therry Penola v Peninsula Oakleigh v De La Salle Northern Blues v Beaumaris Parkdale v St Kevins Monash v Mazenod MHSOB v Old Haileyburians

Old Haileyburians, Beaumaris and St Kevins all recorded 100 point plus wins. Hamish Brayshaw kicked a bag of 12 as Old Haileyburians beat 54

GRAND FINALS, 2015 UNICORNS AND SPARTANS WIN THROUGH TO CONTEST PREMIERSHIP SECTION 1 Hawthorn took control early in their match as they surged forward regularly to build a thirty nine-point lead over Richmond Central by quarter time. John Farah and Ari Mitropoulos were both active up forward as they kicked multiple unanswered goals. Although Richmond Central played better in the second quarter, they were still outscored by the “Spartans” who held the lead at half time by a margin of forty-five points. Hawthorn maintained control throughout the second half despite a more determined effort by Richmond Central who outscored the “Spartans” in the third quarter.

Hawthorn players appeared to ease pressure on the “Cardinals” who trailed by thirty-eight points at the last change. The last quarter saw each side slow down as each side added only one goal with the match wound down to a tame finish. Hawthorn, who won by thirty-nine points and thus qualified to again contest the Grand Final against Old Xaverians. Best for Hawthorn included: John Farah (5 goals), Ari Mitropoulos (3 goals) and Nicholas Criticos. For Richmond Central; James Stevenson, Lachlan McKenzie and Mark McCabe were best.

SECTION 2 Melbourne High School Old Boys took the ascendency right from the first bounce and but for errant kicking (a “Unicorn” trait throughout the season), the “Unicorns” would have held a winning lead. In fact their lead was only twelve points. Albert Park was held to one minor score in the second quarter as Melbourne High continued to build their lead. As had happened over recent weeks, the “Unicorns” were able to capitalise on their forward moves whilst their opponents were prevented from scoring. By half time, Melbourne High led by thirty-eight points.

The third quarter provided a tighter contest as only three goals were kicked. Melbourne High School held a forty six-point lead at the last change. The last quarter saw Albert Park displaying their best form of the game as they easily outscored their opponents. However time was against Albert Park who finished thirty-one points behind Melbourne High School Old Boys at the end of the match. Best for the winners included; Louis Meyer (5 goals), William Rebakis and Nicholas Orchard. For Albert Park the best included; Adam Smith, Myles Coker and Matthew Smith.

GRAND FINAL PREVIEW SECTION 1.

Old Xaverians and Hawthorn meet for the fourth time this season with honours just in the Xaverians’ favour. Each won at home against the other during the season and the Xaverians barely survived in a nail biting Second Semi Final two weeks ago. That narrow victory may tip the scales in favour of the Xaverians as Hawthorn did appear to slow up last week as 58

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

the preliminary Final progressed. The two sides do try and outwit each other and today I am sure the tactical battle between Anthony Demetriou and David Landrigan will continue.

The two teams possess potent forward lines where several players have demonstrated their ability to kick goals. Because of the strength of each side, neither backline has faced undue pressure. Today any ascendancy by forwards could produce the winning factor. Hawthorn forwards including the experienced Angelo Lekkas, the fast moving John Farah and quick ball mover Anthony Demetriou will need close attention as will Matthew Green and James McDonnell in the “Crocodile” forward lines. In the Semi Final, the Silk brothers and cousins all did well and proved illusive. Can they produce a “carbon copy” today? Xaverian Captain, Andrew Barrett, will prove a handful for his opponents with his fearless attack on the ball an the drive he generates around the ground.

Who will win is open to conjecture and the outcomes of the off field preparations. Are the Xaverians as good as thought or were Hawthorn looking ahead when they felt victory was theirs last Sunday? We will know by 4.30 p.m on Sunday. My selection is Old Xaverians to win narrowly after a titanic battle.

SECTION 2 St Francis Xavier enters this match, highly favoured to defeat Melbourne High School Old Boys by a wide margin. In their two meetings this season, St Francis have won by ninetyfive points (Round 7) and seventy-one points (Round 14). However, like the wine at Cana, the “Unicorns” have left their best to the last as they did in 2014. I am in little doubt that St Francis will meet sterner opposition today than they did in the home and away matches.

St Francis has not played on Sportscover Arena where the wide wings and vagaries of the prevailing winds have brought many a favoured team to defeat. Despite the great form I have seen displayed by “The Unicorns” over the past two weeks, the depth of talent available to St Francis leads me to believe they will win this game as they have won their previous sixteen matches in 2015. Their multi pronged forward line will prove too talented for the determined “Unicorn” defenders for whom the extra match last week could bring tiredness before the final siren. I select St Francis to win and become Premiers and Champions of the section.
