THE MONTH MELBOURNE COMES ALIVE At the end of this weekend 54 senior, reserves and under age teams will be continuing on their football journey to the SEN VAFA Finals series.

Spring weather arrived last weekend which saw the conclusion of the Division and Junior sections, the penultimate round of the Premier and the Grand Finals of the Club XVIII. Congratulations to Hawthorn and St Francis Xavier on their victories.

This time of the year the centre of our focus is on the action in the middle. This not only includes the players and the teams but also our men in green.

I attended the Umpires Finals Dinner on Monday night at the MCC Dining Room and it was a great occasion. Many of their long standing umpires were celebrated with recognition for games umpired as well as representative honours. Their major award of the night is the Golden Whistle, presented to 17 year old schoolboy Peter Bailles. Peter has umpired in the VAFA for three seasons and is a regular in Premier. He is hopeful of getting one of those Grand Finals – possibly even the auspicious William Buck Premier nod.

As I go around the grounds on a Saturday it is evident to me just how young and fit our umpires are. Previously the Premier section was a fortress with only the experienced hardened professionals reaching that level. You had to do your time in the lower grades but how things have changed.

Credit to this change must go to Tony Hales and his coaching predecessor Brian Goodman. Peter Bailles and his peers are the beneficiaries. We have record goal umpires and I am sure they are all looking forward to a big finals series just as much as the players. As supporters and players I urge you to give them your support during September.

We couldn’t wish for a better conclusion to the William Buck Premier Section. A month ago, the form of the teams below St Bernard’s and Old Trinity was questionable but how things have changed.

De La Salle and University Blues are now the form

@vafaceo teams leading into the finals. Whilst the four is not set, a win to De La Salle on Saturday down at Beaumaris will set up an exciting finals series. I wouldn’t want to lose the second semi-final and face one of these two in the preliminary finals.

As I stated in this column last week, relegation battles are sometimes the most gripping. Can you imagine either Old Xaverians or Old Scotch in Premier B? Well this will happen if Collegians can get over University Blacks. Old Scotch returned to A Section after going down to Old Xaverians in the 1980 B Section Grand Final and haven’t been back since. Old Xaverians had one year in B in 1991 but quickly returned. At the moment, one game and 55 points separate them on percentage so Old Scotch will have to win by a minimum of 28 points to overhaul them. This must be the biggest home and away match in the VAFA’s recent history. It may be a long summer for one of the competitions’ powerhouses.

The Division finals commence today. Divisions 1 and 2 have a final four whilst 3 and 4 have a final six. After the weekend two teams will have earnt promotion. Ormond has finished the year strongly and go in as favourites against Kew. Sportscover Arena will spark memories of the halcyon days of Ormond premierships in the 1980’s and some of those greats will be returning to watch their sons play. It should be a great day as they take on one of their old foes.

In Division 2, another great Premier Section club of a generation ago Ivanhoe, take on St John’s to seek promotion and a Grand Final berth. The Hoers have had a big year, also only tasting defeat on one occasion. The VAFA’s quiet achievers, Northern Blues, again just snuck into the four as they did when they won their last two flags in Divisions 3 and 4.

This Saturday also sees the Gay? That’s OK! match being played between University Blacks and Collegians. The VAFA fully supports this match and I would encourage everybody to take some time and watch the YouTube video by Lachlan Beaton, which has gone viral and been picked up by the world media. Read the article by Nick Armistead at vafa.com and Will Balme’s piece in this week’s FTLOTG. Have a great weekend of Amateur football.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

Andrew Leonard

GET TO CAMBERWELL SPORTS GROUND Finals are almost here, but if you are anxious for a finals like atmosphere, get to Camberwell Sports ground this weekend. Old Scotch host Old Xaverians with relegation on the line for both clubs. Of course University Oval will hold our attention also as Uni Blacks host Collegians.

Remarkably, one of Old Scotch, Collegians or Old Xaverians will be relegated come approximately 4.40pm this Saturday. Let me put it another way, of the 113 premierships awarded at the top level of the VAFA, these three have won 39, or 34.5%.

If you take away the seasons before there was promotion and relegation (and the premierships Collegians won before 1923), the number rises to 38.4% of premierships won are by these three clubs.

I’ve never been fond of sports movies. I loved the Mighty Ducks first time round, but by the time they made follow ups, I had discovered that nothing can replicate what happens on the sporting field. A script-writer couldn’t have delivered a more perfect script for the final round of William Buck Premier. All will be revealed this week and regardless of who goes down, it will be a significant scalp that the relegation system claims.

Old Scotch relegated Collegians relegated Old Xaverians relegated

If Old Scotch lose to Old Xaverians If Collegians lose to Uni Blacks and Old Scotch win.

If Collegians win and Old Scotch beat Xavs by more than 28 points.

Old Scotch last time not in Premier: 1980 Collegians last time not in Premier: 2006 Old Xaverians last time not in Premier: 1991

So Collegians are still fighting for their season after a great win over Old Carey last week. The Panthers have done a Collingwood and haven’t fired a shot in the latter half of the year. Despite this fall from grace, their loss to Collegians was the first time they have fallen out of the four since round 4. In fact the Panthers have been in the top four for 14 2

@ Lennytalk of 17 weeks this year. Whilst they are still a chance to play in September for the first time in William Buck Premier, a trip to the Snakepit makes the task more daunting. Collegians jumped to a four-goal lead early before being hauled in by Old Carey.

Clearly up for the fight the visitors pegged the Lions back and the sides were locked in an arm wrestle at half time. The third quarter was a tale of two opposites. Collegians kicked straight and Old Carey didn’t. The gap was insurmountable and eventually blew out to 40 points at the final siren. Shura Taft kicked four goals and played one of his better games this year. Julian Rowe also booted four for Old Carey. Collegians are still alive and a win against Blacks ensures they stay safe for another year.

All of the above hides the sensational story that is De La Salle. De La Salle are the form side of the competition and their win over top of the ladder St Bernard’s saw De La move into the top four for the first time this year. A win against Beaumaris this week will confirm a brilliant come from the clouds back nine to end the season.

Whilst I tipped against them when they played Old Trinity, I couldn’t be more confident about the prospects of the blue and gold against the visiting Snowdogs. De La had Tom Humphrey’s 100th game to celebrate, but more importantly they have an undefeated streak stretching back to round 10. De La Salle is unbeaten since May! So often derided for their mosquito fleet, it is players like Indovino and Nicholson causing havoc for opposition. Take your pick of the brothers Caven for the best from St Bernards.

Old Xaverians were no match for Old Trinity, whose win completed the double over Xavs for a second straight year. The T’s were sublime throughout as they returned to the winners list and tuned up for finals. Late goals to Xavs might prove valuable preserving their percentage ahead of this weekend’s final match.

Beaumaris played their best match in over a month but the Sharks still fell short of Uni Blacks.

The Sharks were within a goal at the final change but with finals still a possibility, Blacks were able to kick clear in the final quarter led by Willingham and Richardson.

Finally Uni Blues took no prisoners as they threashed Old Scotch. The loss sent the Cardinals back to ninth, staring down the barrel of a return to Premier B for the first time since 1980. Jack Watts returned, he and Pat Gardiner booted four goals each. Cam Williams was brilliant in the ruck.

For the team of the year, we are playing a Sunday

game; hence I have named a squad of 25. St Bernard’s and Old Trinity players dominate the squad as is to be expected. Blues have played more players and hence have shared the load in their push towards September. Old Carey as previously stated occupied the top four for much of the year and De La Salle’s run to September has been intrinsically linked to the individuals below.

There are so many good midfielders in the comp, so to assist in selection I considered: number of games played, ability to win their own ball, lift their side with an X-Factor and a capacity to impact the scoreboard.

TIGERS SECOND IN LINE, SKOB RUTHLESS After a lopsided couple of weeks in Premier B, it was great to see a few close games in the penultimate round of the home and away season.

Here’s how it all went down: Caulfield are a club in mourning, with the death of Under 19s player Lucas Grigg during the week after battling illness. Unfortunately things didn’t get much better on the field as they came up against a St Kevins unit coasting toward an undefeated season. SKOBs made ten changes to their Round 16 side, and those ten players had contributed a combined 146 goals this season. It mattered not, as the ladder leaders still kicked 26 goals and had 11 individual contributors, led by McMaster and Gysberts with five each.

I had considered the AJAX-Hampton matchup to be a 50-50 contest, but by half time I knew I had been mistaken. The Jackas dominated the Rovers from the outset with a six goal to two opening term and never took the foot off the pedal, finishing with a convincing 69-point victory. They were superbly led by spearhead Jake Lew who kicked ten goals and have now won five of their last seven games, leaving them just one game outside the top four. Unfortunately an inferior percentage will mean they will fall just short of finals action, even if they beat Mazenod and the fourth-placed Tonners lose to St Kevins in Round 18. Daniel Corp (two goals) and William McTaggart (three) played well for the Rovers. Lachlan Hayres kicked a goal in his first game for the season and, in a staggering stat, was the 56th player to debut for the Rovers in 2015.

There was a lot at stake when Mazenod hosted Old Melburnians at Central Reserve. The Nodders were going for two wins in a row and were desperate to avoid relegation territory, while the Redlegs, sick of merely making up the numbers in the top four, were potentially gunning for second spot.

The contest was tight and scrappy at the start with scrimmages, skirmishes and stoppages galore.

Neither team got on the scoreboard in the first ten minutes, but once things opened up the Nodders got on top. Four goals in ten minutes to Reed, Mann, Thomas and Sier gave them a handy buffer.

Alex Armstrong stood up and provided a target 4

for the Redlegs in the second quarter, kicking 2.1 and four for the match. Theodore Rosenthal was also influential as they worked their way back into the match in the early stages of the quarter. The OMs had a great third quarter, kicking four goals to two and landing within a point at the final change.

Nodders Sier and Cowan kicked the first two goals of the final term to establish a two goal gap, which they maintained for most of the quarter.

Armstrong finally kicked the Redlegs first goal of the quarter at the 14 minute mark to make the margin five points. Both teams kicked one more goal each and the Nodders managed to hold on for one of the upsets of the season. They skip a game clear of Parkdale out of relegation danger for now, and finish their season against AJAX. The mood was relaxed and festive at Brunswick Street, with footy minstrel Mike Brady entertaining the masses before the game. Perhaps this mood rubbed off on the players as the game got off to a sluggish start. Although the Vultures led for much of the game, their early inaccuracy would eventually cost them the points. They kicked 2.6 in the first quarter and found themselves level with the Roys at the first break. The second quarter was eventful and entertaining, and was one of the highest scoring of the season. With contributions from Ligris, Stevic, Bisetto and Bryce McAdam in his first game for the season, Fitzroy kicked five of the first seven goals and opened up a handy lead. From there, however, it all went pearshaped for the Roys. Thanks to several free kicks, a 25m penalty and plain old undisciplined footy, the Vultures kicked four goals in three minutes, including three to Charlie Dillon, to work their way back in the match. In total, 14 goals were scored in the quarter and the Vultures took an 11-point lead into half time. A Fitzroy defensive blunder gifted the Vultures a goal in the first thirty seconds of the second half. However, the Roys slowly worked PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v Caulfield Grammarians AJAX v Mazenod OC Parkdale Vultures v Hampton Rovers Old Melburnians v Fitzroy FC St Kevins OB v Old Brighton Gr.

their way back into the game and seemed to get the better of the umpiring, much to the chagrin of the vocal Vultures crowd. Greg Hesse was providing some dash off halfback and the Roys gained the ascendancy with five goals to two, including goals from Bisetto and Julian Turner. The Roys managed to carry this momentum into the final term and finish with a 14-point win.

The match of the round was the top-four clash between the Tigers and the Tonners, and it lived up to all expectations. Ultimately, inaccuracy in front of goal cost Old Brighton the match; they kicked 3.7 in the first quarter and 5.5 in the third, in the end falling four points short. Now, for them to have any chance of moving above fourth, they must beat St Kevins and rely on Fitzroy to beat Old Melburnians. The Tonners got on top early

with rapid ball movement and fierce tackling but the Tigers still looked dangerous because their precise foot passing made the most of their forward thrusts. The visitors got on top in the second quarter, kicking seven straight goals and delivering well to spearhead Luke Velluto, who kicked six for the day and remains second in the Premier B goalkicking. Five goals to two resulted in a three point lead at the final break. The final term was an arm wrestle. Tonners main man Dan Anthony had struggled all day but kicked a couple of late ones to give his team a chance. It wasn’t enough, as the Tigers cemented second place with a four point victory.

FINALS ALL BUT SOLIDIFIED With one round in the home-and-away season remaining the top four is all but locked in for next fortnight’s encounters. The first three have been guaranteed for some time, however fourth place, currently in Old Haileyburians’ warm hands, could still loosen their grip on a finals spot if two upsets occur. Marcellin will hold onto the minor premiership after defeating PEGS last weekend with Monash Blues tucked closely behind them in, beating Old Haileyburians. Elsewhere, Old Ivanhoe moved past Old Camberwell, Peninsula kept Therry Penola in the relegation zone for another week, and Oakleigh rejoined the winner’s list with a victory over Williamstown CYMS. Marcellin’s showed its supremacy over PEGS in the first quarter with five goals to two and maintained that dominance throughout the game. The Bombers could never close the given gap set by the Eagles across the next three terms.

It was far from the blow out that was expected, particularly considering the polar opposite ladder position as Marcellin claimed a standard 32-point win. Jeremiah Antypas led Marcellin’s goal tally once again with four majors while Jonathan Bortolotto and Daniel McMahon kicked three apiece.

Old Haileyburians played host to Monash Blues as the two top four sides clashed at Princes Park. And the second seeded Blues ended the fourth placed Bloods in the first quarter. Monash rattled five goals past Haileybury and held them goal-less to take a decisive 30-point lead. The Bloods got as close as 19-points but could never completely breach the deficit. Inaccuracy in the end cost Old Haileybury as they kicked 7.15, as the reverse score line would’ve turned it into a victory. Instead they fell 28-points shy of the four points. Maddison Hardiman booted three for the blues and Jake Meade was named best on ground.

Old Ivanhoe was facing a two-point deficit at the end of the first quarter against Old Camberwell, but adjusted soon after to holster victory. The Hoes kicked six goals in the second to gain the lead and began to slowly creep away with the points in the second half. The Wellers made another run at Ivanhoe in the third and won the quarter, but the lead was stretched out again in the fourth to hand the Hoes a 39-point victory.

Michael Delmonte was Ivanhoe’s best while Bradley Thompson bagged four in the win.

Peninsula was in a similar position to Old Ivanhoe last weekend as Therry Penola got the jump on the Pirates in the opening term. Therry kept the fifth placed Pirates goal-less and snagged four of their own to lead by 22 at quarter-time. But in a similar vein to what the Hoes did, Peninsula clawed back in the second. Their lead progressed in the third quarter and secured a game-winning buffer midway through the fourth to win by 23.

Jarrod Bannister was Therry’s shining light with seven goals while Stefan Barbour was Peninsula’s best with three.

It took until the last quarter for Oakleigh to dispense Williamstown CYMS but the eightgoal quarter sealed the Krushers’ return to the winner’s list. Following an even first quarter Oakleigh drifted to almost a five-goal lead at the half. The CY’s responded in the third to draw the margin to four points at the final change but were helpless against Oakleigh’s rampant final term.

Aaron Cloke led the charge as per usual with six goals for Oakleigh while Patrick Loannidis was their B.O.G. In the last round, Williamstown CYMS host Old Ivanhoe; I expect the Hoes to show pre-finals form and claim victory. Monash Blues play Oakleigh in what will be a close win for the Blues.

Old Haileyburians travel to Old Camberwell and in order to guarantee a finals place the Bloods must win. PEGS and Therry Penola do battle at PEGS Sporting Fields; the Lions could potentially escape relegation in the last game if they win here. And Peninsula faces Marcellin with the

Pirates needing to pull off an unlikely victory over the Eagles and an Old Haileyburians loss to Old Camberwell for them to squeeze into the four. I expect the Eagles to retain their form and keep Peninsula out of September action.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

GAY? THAT’S OK! GAME

a man’. I was in tears and it was just the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. I felt like I would lose all my friends and my family wouldn’t like me and I wouldn’t be able to play footy again. This whole time I had this fear of losing everything. For me the big one was losing all my footy friends and not being able to play footy again.”

University Blacks will wear a specifically designed rainbow coloured football jumper against Collegians in a bid to showcase their support of the initiative and communicate their acceptance to the wider community.

With all the magnificent footy to be played this weekend, it would remiss of me not to refer to one of the most ambitious and inspiring games that will be played on Saturday. Collegians take on University Blacks at Melbourne University Oval in their Round 18 clash in what is already a hugely anticipated clash for a number of reasons, including Collegians’ battle to remain in the top flight. Adding to this build up is the fact that this game is a showcase for the Gay? That’s Ok! Initiative headed by University Blacks life members Lachlan and Charles Beaton. The initiative is a vehicle to encourage society to promote ‘tolerance, acceptance and safe environments for same-sex attracted people.’

Most importantly, the initiative preaches more than simply acceptance. It is about the opportunity to start a conversation, to talk about the issues the LGBT community are facing and come to a deeper understanding of what it is to be gay in Australian, and wider, society. Lachlan, who posted a video on YouTube called ‘My Story – Equal Love’, is a 34-yearold man who is openly homosexual. In the years where he hid from his true identity, Lachlan turned to alcohol and other means to numb his ongoing pain.

Some excerpts taken from the Herald Sun on the 19th of July 2015 in an article written by Jon Ralph detail this agonising journey that took him through a whirlwind of self-hate and a grand fear of derision.

“It was the hardest thing. I couldn’t actually bring myself to say that I was gay,’’ he said. “I couldn’t bring myself to do it sober. It was like getting blood from a stone. “I spent all day agonising over it. The only way I could say it is if I said, ‘I have met someone and it’s 10

The support University Blacks have offered the Gay? That’s OK! Initiative is unparalleled in the world of community football. On the day of the match against Collegians, the club will be hosting a pre-match luncheon, which will serve to launch the initiative in conjunction with the 10-year anniversary celebration of the 2005 Senior C Grade premiership. Guest speakers will include Hawthorn FC premiership player and anti-homophobia campaigner Russell Greene and Victoria’s first Gender and Sexuality Commissioner Rowena Allen.

Lachlan Beaton’s story has gone viral and with that has come articles in The Guardian, The Herald Sun (aforementioned) and radio stations across Australia and the world. Even the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott chimed induring a morning interview on Sydney station 2UE, when asked about Lachlan Beaton’s video. Abbott responded to questions regarding the initiative by admitting he’s happy to say it’s OK to be gay. “What this gentleman (Lachlan Beaton) wants is someone to say it’s OK to be gay,” he said. “Look, I’m happy to say that. I am very happy to say that.”

The VAFA are very proud to support an event that is at the forefront of a social movement that is inclusive, inspiring and for the greater good for Australian society. It is one thing to be accepting, it is a completely different kettle of fish to understand and educate on the lifestyles and landscapes of the lives of those who are attracted to the same sex. Hopefully we will see a large gathering for a magnificent moment in Australian sport.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

WOMEN’S FOOTY GROWING IN STATURE The Bayside City Council is leading a petition to ensure sporting women and girls get a fighting chance in order to access the sporting infrastructure they so desperately need. As stated in the petition, ‘Lack of appropriate facilities for women and girls is an acknowledged barrier to their participation in sport. Upgrading sporting infrastructure at the grassroots level will enable more women to participate in sport.

With Federal Financial Assistance Grants frozen for three years and the state government capping council rates, local councils can’t do it alone.

We call upon state and federal governments to increase their investment and accelerate the upgrade of sporting facilities to create a level playing field for women and girls.’

After the massive success of the exhibition game that was held between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs on the 16th of August at Etihad Stadium, it is only a matter of time before the idealistic conversations about a professional women’s football league are concreted. Getting the facilities of grassroots clubs up to standard is of vital importance. Visit https://www.change. org/p/federal-and-state-sports-ministers-breakthe-grass-ceiling to read and sign the petition.

KEW AND WHITEFRIARS UNITE After a tumultuous week, it was nice to see that Kew responded to the controversy with a show of unity with their opposition Whitefriars after their loss on Saturday. Both sides happily posed for a photo in the middle of Whitefriars College Oval after a tough and intriguing battle in Division 1.

Players from both sides shared in banter and a show of respect for the Amateurs competition.

JUICY FINALS/FINAL ROUND MATCH UPS How good is Week one of finals looking? How incredible is the final round of William Buck Premier looking!?! I’m excited. In fact, I wrote a bit of an ode to September. ‘We muse about how fast the year has flown past and our fear of growing another year older. But it’s okay because love is in the air, hope is in the water and elation is in the sparkles of sunshine. September is our reward for staying loyal to our great Southern city when the call of a tropical climate screamed louder than the fat lady singing in the fourth quarter at the MCG. September is when the trains all seem to arrive on time, Acland Street becomes a Sunday afternoon hub and the Yarra River is filled with rowers, surrounded by picnic rugs and passed by every bike rider in town.’

More importantly, did I mention the clash between Ormond and Kew at Sportscover Arena on Saturday afternoon? One-all throughout the year, this is the first time the two have THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

participated in the same section’s finals series since 1966. There’s also the classic Division 3 clash between Aquinas and Hawthorn at Casey Fields on Saturday as well that is too close to call.

Point Cook and Box Hill North face off at Garvey Oval as well. Don’t forget the two Grand Finals between traditional rivals Old Xaverians and St Kevins on Sunday at Sportscover Arena in the Premier and Premier B Thirds sections.

However, the biggest clash of the day? The relegation battle between Old Scotch and Old Xaverians at Camberwell Sports Ground.

Former Media Chief Andrew Leonard couldn’t hide his grin this week on VAFA Tragics when it came time to analyse the clash. He quipped that Yarra Trams have agreed to put on more trams in order to deal with the traffic coming their way on Saturday. Get in early for a pie because they’re going to be running hot on what is one of the biggest games in VAFA H&A history!!

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

250

Congratulations to Elsternwick’s ALAN PATEY – Alan played his 250th for the Wicks on Saturday against St John’s, the venue where he played his first game back in 2002, following in his father’s footsteps after starting as a 15 year old water boy. Alan has been the ultimate clubman and is loved and revered by everyone that comes into contact with him. He has won numerous awards and was named Captain of the Reserves this year.

200

Congratulations to Old Camberwell’s STEVE DERRY – Steve first played U19’s at the Club in 1997. Continuing to play Reserves, Steve proved to be a handy ruckman with a deft tap and sometimes found his way into the forward line for a rare goal. He was a prominent part of the triple Premiership in 2001. He then stepped into the Senior squad as a reliable ruckman.

Off the field, Steve has been on the committee for over 10 years, holding the positions of Secretary, President and now Vice President. His 200 games include 80 in the Seniors.

200

Congratulations to Oakleigh’s ANDREW MURRAY – Andrew played his 200th game against Williamstown. Recruited from Mt Waverley Blues JFC, Andrew played his first game against Ajax Under 19’s in Round 1, 2002. Andrew has finally managed to establish himself as a Senior defender in recent seasons, after spending more time in the Reserves than the Seniors. Well done Muzz.

200

Congratulations to North Brunswick’s LUKE SPANO – A hard running versatile player, Luke has been used in various positions by his coaches over the years. Probably better known as an attacking half back, he has never questioned where he should play. He has also been a committee man over the last few years and a leader amongst his peers. With a growing family, Luke has shown his dedication to the Green and Gold cause. We hope to see him achieve further milestones at Allard Park. Well done to Luke on his 200 game milestone.

150

Congratulations to University Blacks’ ANGUS DRYSDALE – A dual Premiership player and passionate clubman, Angus Drysdale has been the heart and soul of Uni Blacks for a number of years. Known as 'White Lightning', he is renowned for his supreme fitness, manic attack on the ball and his unparalleled passion for the Blacks. Angus has emerged as a respected leader within the Club and it is no surprise that his journey to 150 games has coincided with a successful period in Blacks history.

150

Congratulations to Old Camberwell’s BLAKE HILLIER – Blake played his 150th game for the Club in round 9. "Tubes" is a solid Ressies player and loves the hard ball gets. He is also a great contributor off the field and is a valuable member of the committee. "Gas Bottle" is also a prolific MC and entertains at all major club functions, and is best mates with Josh Frydenberg who is a regular attendee at match day luncheons. Congratulations Blake!

150

Congratulations to Old Camberwell’s ANDREW CLARKE – Andrew reached this significant milestone in Round 3. Andrew started playing U19’s for the Wellers and has since played only one game in the Reserves. He plays a valuable role on field and his lightening quick pace ensures plenty of possessions each week, and the odd couple of goals. A terrific achievement, well done Clarkey!

150

Congratulations to North Brunswick’s STEVE MILLER – A fleet footed attacking mid fielder, Steve’s electrifying runs are a sight to behold. His love of a goal on the run and ability to bring teammates into the game with his creative handball is a feature of his game. The last few years Steve has taken on more responsibility with club in the administration side and has shown great talent as a future senior administrator. Well done to Steve on his 150 game milestone.

100

Congratulations to St Bernards’ DAVID WALL – Another product of St Bernards Junior program, David’s light frame has not held him back from playing some great footy Senior, Reserve and U19 level over the past few years. Dave played in the 2011 U19 Premiership and made his senior debut in 2012. A smooth mover, Waller knows how to find space, is a strong mark and loves a goal. Another great clubman, we wish Waller all the best in his 100th game.

100

Congratulations to Old Brighton’s TOM MARIANI – Arriving at the Club in 2009, Tom captained the U19’s Grand Final triumph over Caulfield Grammarians. Tom is an important part of the mid-field and played a vital role in the 2013 Premiership. Tom was overseas last year and his return has lifted the quality of Old Brighton’s footy. A courageous and skilful player, Tom is a popular team-mate and will continue to cement his reputation as one of South Road’s best.

100

Congratulations to Old Brighton’s LACHIE NICHOLLS – Lachie has established himself as a key defender since arriving from BGS in 2009. A member of boththe 2009 U19 and 2013 Senior Premiership teams, Lachie’s strong marking and long kicking are hallmarks of his footy. Lachie can also play up forward and take a turn in the ruck when required. He is a ripping bloke and one of the most valuable and consistent players, around whom OB are building their next champion side.

Congratulations to Old Haileyburians' NATHAN WAITE – Vice captain, Nathan plays his 50th game for the club today. The burly forward with a massive presence has made a welcome return to the club this year, and has been a great addition to the leadership group. A strong mark and accurate kick, Waitey has plenty of good footy ahead of him.

Congratulations to Kew's KYLE MARGARITIS – An excellent rover and dual Premiership player with the U18's and Seniors. Kyle also represented the VAFA U19 this season.

Congratulations to Kew's Reserves ruckman Dan Boehm on reaching 50 games and showing fine form after four seasons interupted by injury and overseas jaunts.

50

Congratulations to Swinburne’s MARTY LEAHY – A tenacious little rover, Marty throws himself into every contest with scant regard for his own safety. An avid traveller, who has taken a little longer to accumulate this milestone, he was a member of the 2012 Senior grand final team. He loves a goal and tackling far bigger opponents.

DIVISION 1

William Balme

JUST FLESH AND BLOOD EXISTS I’ve saved some wonderful clichés for this week.

The most overused, emotionally overwrought and inspiring clichés in order to amplify the grandeur of finals footy. This is it. This is what we all play for. The long preseasons, the cold winter months, the social events, the personal triumphs and tragedies. Footy can be as poetic as it is emotionally exhausting. Six teams head off for a few beers to mark a season that was, or for a couple of teams, the season that might have been.

The other four gear up for a crack at the ultimate, and for St Mary’s Salesian, it could potentially be a shot at redemption.

Their victory over Old Geelong surprised many, as they wrestled the momentum early and continued on for a fine win on the eve of playing the Oggers in the elimination final next weekend. Whether there were games being played by the Old Geelong coaching staff is not a matter I bother to deal with. Essentially, finals are just another 22 on 22 battle, with season momentum playing a huge role in how they end up playing out. I’ll detail the imminent battle later on this article. The weekend’s game saw SMS burst from the blocks, racing to a 26 points lead at quarter time. ‘Bucky Done Gun’ Puruntatameri booted 6, with Nick Baum tremendous out of defence. Despite going down by 26, the undermanned Old Geelong had a strong showing from McMeel and Wood with 4 each.

Old Mentonians finished their season strongly with a 17 point win over the exhausted NOBS/St Pats side. This will mark the final loss for NOBS/St Pats in the current form with a pending name change to Brunswick firmly on the cards. Matt Keown capped off an outstanding season and an outstanding career (it was announced pregame that it would be his, and the great Ron Rooney’s final game) with 5 goals, whilst Bence kicked 3 for the defeated side.

For Old Mentonians, Conlon was irrepressible in attack with 7, supported well by Bruno Rossi who marked strongly and booted 3 majors.

Ormond will enter finals brimming with confidence after they withstood a strong Prahran Assumption challenge, to win by 21 points. Whilst the game was somewhat of a dead rubber, Ormond would have been keen to send a message to their competitors 16

@balmey21 and Prahran Assumption wanted 5th spot. Gerard Hogarth was dangerous for the Double Blues, kicking 6 and creating a firm presence. James Musster is a genuine smoky for the league medal with another outstanding showing. For Ormond, they had plenty of contributors in another even performance. Can they be beaten? On current form, they are a very tough proposition. Sam Barnes, who has returned from a 2014 exodus, was adjudged best afield.

An emotional week for Kew and Bulleen Templestowe saw both sides fall short of their respective opponents. For two proud clubs, it was just nice to see some footy played. Bulleen Templestowe were beaten by six goals against Yarra Valley at Ted Ajani. Without Cherbakof and Florance, the Bullants didn’t have the cattle to go with the Bushrangers. Jordan Canham kicked 5 for the victors, who have finished a disappointing season well, as Tom Balme made an impact in his first game in the seniors for the Bullants.

For Kew, Whitefriars were the team who beat the Bears, who are out of sorts. Without Brazzale, Maibaum and a host of other players, Kew were overrun by a dogged and gritty effort from a hungry young side. Early on, Alexander Marcello was unstoppable, kicking a couple in the first stanza as Whitefriars raced to an early lead. In the third quarter, Kew fought back to the lead with Andrew ‘DONK’ Doxey booting 3 and Tim ‘BWS’ Allman in his best game for the year, with 4.

Despite this resurgence, the Friar lads combined very well together. Mitch Geilings was impressive off the wing and Sean Currie’s hands were crisp, as he took a number of strong pack marks. Much respect was shown between the two sides at the end of the game with a group photo that is featured in this week’s For the Love of the Game.

WILLIE BEE’S WAYNE WEIDEMANN FINALS PREVIEW I’m joined by former Adelaide Crows living legend Wayne ‘Weed’ Weidemann as we preview a bumper first week of finals in Division 1. Two sides come into the finals in form, the other two are struggling somewhat, so it is a really intriguing narrative.

St Mary’s Salesian will battle it out for the second successive week at Waverley Oval (2PM, Saturday).

St Mary’s Salesian enters the game with five wins on the trot, and a victory over Old Geelong in Round 18. Mentally, they have the edge, however Old Geelong were without a few of their stars in the game just passed, including my tip for the league medal Colby O’Brien. The Saints are a strong side. They have players of the ilk of Jackson Strangward, Josh Tanner and the much improved Harry Angley. However, Old Geelong are mobile, well drilled and a hard team to stop when they get a run on. Callum Wood and Jack McMeel have to be subdued if St Mary’s Salesian are going to wrestle this one away. For mine, Old Geelong’s forward line will prove the difference.

Wayne Weidemann’s impact players: Jackson Strangward (SMS) and Mathew Young (OG) Old Geelong by 5 points.

DIVISION 1

Wayne Weidemann’s impact players: Sam Bishop (Kew) and Nick Edwards (Ormond) Ormond by 1 point.

SECOND SEMI FINAL In the Second Semi Final at VAFA HQ – Sportscover Arena (2PM, Saturday), Ormond (1st) and Kew (2nd) will fight out in a classic match up. Kew has lost 4 of its last 6, whilst Ormond has not lost since Kew smashed them at E. E. Gunn in Round 10.

Ormond is in a firm position to go straight back to Premier C next season, and are warm favourites in this encounter. However, do not rule out Kew, who has considerable September experience and plenty of players with solid resumes. Whether Andrew Brazzale plays is unknown, however Kinsella, Margaritas and Bishop are all match winners. For Ormond, Chisholm and Martinov will be a handful, and the Simons are quality.

DIVISION 2

SAVE THE LAST DANCE Northern Blues leapt into this year’s finals series on the back of their gritty 16-point win over Monash.

The win puts the Blues in an ideal position to one; obtain their third straight promotion and two, their third premiership in as many years. Monash once again avoided the relegation zone and finished the year a lot better than it started. Northern’s finals eligibility was aided by Eltham’s inability to land a knockout-blow against premiership favourites Ivanhoe. The Turtles simply had to win to make finals and unfortunately kicked themselves out of contention with 13.24 (102) to 20.11 (131). St John’s gained a much needed confidence boost with a commanding 96-point win over the relegated Elsternwick.

The JOCs’ performance against Ivanhoe the week previous was extremely underwhelming but were back to their attacking best in the final term against the Wicks. After an up-and-down year, Elsternwick is destined for Division 3 in 2016 after a disappointing final month of the season.

Melbourne High won the battle of the mid-table with a hard-fought 18-point win over Richmond Central. The crowd at Kevin Bartlett Reserve was treated to shoot-out between Melbourne High’s “Panda” Hawking and Snakes’ spearhead Jake Munro who bagged six apiece. Both sides will retain their spot in Division 2 in 2015 in what’s been a year of consolidation for both. Old Paradians will enter this year’s final series in supreme form after their 13-goal dismantling of cellar-dwellers South Melbourne. Raiders’ forwards Dave Boundy and Michael Bellizia slotted six majors apiece.

South Districts were simply ran out of steam after an improved month of football but will find themselves in Division 3 next season.

The final that many have waited for plays out from two o’clock this Saturday at the aptly named “Snakepit” at St Bernard’s College between Ivanhoe and St John’s. Ivanhoe has been the form side of 2015 and has taken all before it. The Hoes have only dropped games to Northern 18

Blues and Melbourne High, and have beaten St John’s handsomely in both their encounters this year. Their latest was over by quarter-time when Ivanhoe systematically picked apart St Johns’ game plan and left them all at sea. It was a game of structure, Ivanhoe had it and St John’s crumbled under serious finals like pressure. The JOCs possess the talent, but in finals, talent can only get you so far. Ivanhoe’s ability to generate scores from defensive 50 and superior ball movement has the Hoes ideally placed to take out the ultimate prize. Finals footy however, is won and lost at the coalface. St John’s has the edge around the ball with players such as Carson Strobel, Anthony Brannan, Nathan Chalk and Cory Ely who will hold the key. To secure victory, St John’s must not only win the ball but control it and lock it in their forward-half for as long as possible. St John’s will no doubt send key-back Liam O’Connor to the in-form Mitch Lovell, who is coming off a bag of 13. Reuben BlackmooreMoore looms as a danger as well, while the trio of Rohan Scott, Tim Edwards and Aaron Thornton must gel for St John’s. Ivanhoe’s imperious use of the ball is its strength and should see it move straight into a preliminary final.

VAFA glamour side Northern Blues head into this year’s finals series with an unblemished finals record and the wares to gain a third successive promotion. Old Paradians however stand in their way and also hold onto the said tools to obtain victory. Big-game players such as Dave Boundy, Michael Bellizia and James Kandilakis loom as keys for the Raiders and will be of high priority for the Blues coaching staff. For the Blues, renowned finals performer, midfielder Damon Marcon has been prolific in recent weeks and generally hits the scoreboard.

Reed Jepson is impassable and provides plenty of rebound with Lachlan Redmond dominant inside-50. Northern has beaten the three other sides in the top-four and only as recent as two weeks ago, knocked-off the Raiders at Garvey Oval. The Raiders will no doubt look to nullify Northern’s rebound off half-back and their ability to move the ball laterally and run in waves.

Paradians both a tempo game with time in possession a key stat. They will look to control the pace of the game, and methodically dismantle Northern’s frenetic attacking style. Northern hold the edge slightly after its recent win over the Raiders, while Highgate Reserve will still hold demons for Parade after their swift finals exit last year.

DIVISION 3

Gavin Southern

END OF SEASON BLUES AND REVIEWS The sun has come back and players were getting chaired off to end careers. This means the homeaway season has finally finished and it’s finals fever!

So, it’s also time to review our Div 3 sides for 2015:

1ST - EMMAUS ST. LEO’S Coach Alan Sutherland did not miss a beat this year, managing the strongest forward line in the competition and a mean midfield. Going undefeated throughout the year and finishing off with a bye, the Animals are in the driver’s seat to snatch a premiership.

Leading goal-kicker: Ryan Harding 70 Predicted B&F: Nic Robin 2ND - WEST BRUNSWICK West Brunswick had the best defence, dominant talls around the ground and genuinely play for each other. Only losing to the Animals (twice), we could see déjà vu again and see another upset for the Cup. Kicking for goal could be their undoing.

Excellent effort coming from Division 4.

Leading goal-kicker: Dylan Muscat 46 Predicted B&F: Evan Lloyd 3RD - AQUINAS The Bloods had a great year but they are still a way behind the top 2 despite their 2 point loss to the Animals. The Magpies put them to the sword last week, however some would consider it an aberration. Finishing 3rd again with the same amount of wins, the Bloods are capable of an upset. We’ll see.

Leading goal-kicker: Ben Nucifora 25 Predicted B&F: Lachlan Barnes 4TH HAWTHORN The other Division 4 promoted team this year, the season didn’t start all that crash-hot losing 3 of their first 4. Unable to snatch a win off the top 3 but winning the last 7 has capped off a brilliant year. But, the season isn’t over yet for the Hawks and they are super confident.

Leading goal-kicker: Jason Ince 37 Predicted B&F: David Pritchard/Sam Gold 5TH SWINBURNE UNI “Swinny” didn’t quite set the world on fire like they did last year. Finishing 8-8 shows they were inconsistent some weeks and had some horror kicking displays. BUT when the season was on the 20

@gavsouthern line, they rallied to win 4 of their last 5 and here they are in September.

Leading goal-kicker: Tom Kennedy 42 Predicted B&F: Danny Manning

6TH UHS-VU The Vultures were also a side with an inconsistent year. Even though a similar year to last year, they deserve a pat on the back for climbing 2 positions and securing the last finals spot. They beat the teams they needed to and had some bad losses to the teams above. Their loss to Glen Eira would still burn but their last round more than certainly made up for it. Congratulations on making it.

Leading goal-kicker: John Clark 19 Predicted B&F: John Clark 7TH ALBERT PARK The Falcons missed out on the finals by 3 games after scraping through by percentage last year.

Knocking off Uhs-Vu in round 13 was their only top 6 scalp however, 20 point losses to the Razorbacks and Aquinas (twice) were admirable. Finishing the year off kicking their highest score against Eley Park, has at least given them hope for 2016.

Leading goal-kicker: Ashley McNaughton 19 Predicted B&F: Jack Amies 8TH POWER HOUSE Power House would have to be disappointed with 2015. After just missing out on finals by percentage last year, there were high hopes to go one better. The punishing loss to the Vultures round 1, a 6 game losing streak through rounds 3-8 and only reaching 100 points once doesn’t bring you success. The positives were that they took it up to Hawthorn Round 13 and got one back against Glen Eira.

Leading goal-kicker: Luke Stubbs 39 Predicted B&F: Jacob Whelan 9TH GLEN EIRA Hopes were high for the Saints after being relegated from Division 2. Losing their first 5 games, we were unsure where their first win would come from. Then there was the 4 game winstreak, which included wins against Swinburne and UHS-VU, and the Saints really had their tails up. Considering they only played the Animals and Magpies once, maybe they were lucky with 5 wins.

FINALS PREVIEW

10TH LA TROBE UNI 2 wins would not have been what the doctor ordered for La Trobe. A tough draw where they played 5 of the top 6 twice and Eley Park/Glen Eira once. Pushing Hawthorn in the last round shows they can play Division 3 football.

Leading goal-kicker: Shaun Field 37 Predicted B&F: Brad Hoffman just

Well the wait is over and we have cracking games on Saturday/Sunday. To the games:

11TH ELEY PARK My heart bled for the Sharks. Injury-plagued all year, the Sharks were still highly competitive but couldn’t get going. They also had a relatively tough draw playing 4 of the top 6 twice. They could score easily but their defence was lacking.

No news about relegation yet, we’ll have to wait and see.

DIVISION 4

Rich Hummerson

@Richie_Humm

CANTERBURY’S SIMPLE PLAN NOT QUITE PERFECT With the ladder essentially squared away for the year, and no threat of sides facing the chop and a sentence in a division below, round 18 was a swan song for five sides and a chance for those playing finals to iron out any last kinks, and for the audacious, an opportunity to trial a couple of last minute game plans before the real stuff starts.

But despite the round meaning little in the grand scheme of things, it still provided one of the biggest upsets of the season and stripped Canterbury of that elusive perfect season.

Just like a late goal from Chris Grant cruelly stripped the Bombers of the honour in the final round of the 2000 AFL season, Old Westbourne were too strong for an undermanned Canterbury and inflicted their first blemish of the season.

With a horde of stars missing from the Canterbury side, Westbourne jumped the Cobras early, the travelling side seemingly perturbed by the industrial surroundings, a long throw from the leafy golden mile where many of them reside.

Canterbury managed to wrestle the lead back in the 2nd half, but would again relinquish the advantage, this time permanently. Tim Nichols was given the arduous task of holding Dale Collins for the day, and performed admirably, keeping him to just the three, while at the other end of the ground, ‘The Flash’ Andrew Baker kicked seven in a fantastic display. For the home team it was Brayden Smith, Chris Sneddon and Adam Imber who stood out, but credit needs to go to the entire side for a well-rounded performance.

In the other games featuring finalists, Parkside inflicted one final blow to Manningham, who will be one of the happiest clubs to see season 2015 in the rear view mirror. They’ll be hoping for a quick turnaround in 2016 in their quest to escape the bottom division. Box Hill North annihilated the improved Chadstone and Point Cook repeated the dose against Mount Lilydale, destroying their slim finals chances in the process.

The top six finals system implemented to tackle our 11-team competition is a peculiar one, with the main benefactors being those that finish in 3rd and 4th, but whether you love it or hate it, or flat out, don’t understand it, let’s take a look at the matchups for the first week of finals.

POINT COOK VS BOX HILL NORTH These two sides have met as recently as round 17, with the lower placed Box Hill North getting the job done in a high scoring affair. Earlier in the year, the results were reversed, Point Cook saluting in a scrappy one out at Saltwater Reserve.

Until recently, Point Cook were billeted as a certain top two finisher, their early season form was second to none and for many, considered premiership favourites.

Fast forward half a season, and Point Cook’s perceived dominance has undoubtedly been diluted, capped off by the disappointing loss to Box Hill a fortnight ago.

Despite the drop off in form, I’m still selecting Point Cook to tip the season ledger with Box Hill North in their favour. Boasting names like Team of the Year inductee Mason Kip and the formidable Matty Herbertson in front of goals, they’ll be too strong. Fortunately for Box Hill, despite finishing 4th and losing their first final, such is the Da Vinci code of the finals system, they’ll still go through.

CANTERBURY VS NORTH BRUNSWICK Read into last week’s result what you will, but only a man far braver than me would dare tip against the juggernaut that is the Cobras, especially considering the ease they dismantled North Brunswick with on the one occasion they met this year.

DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 50/83%) Canterbury v North Brunswick Point Cook v Box Hill North Old Westbourne v Parkside

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to rich.hummerston@gmail.com

What North Brunswick do have in their favour, is the noticeable omission of skipper Michael Peel and veteran Rowan Walmsley from last week’s team sheet. It doesn’t take a genius to draw a parallel between their absence and Canterbury’s first loss, and should they miss again this week, it’s a cause for concern.

Regardless, Canterbury easily in this one.

OLD WESTBOURNE GR. VS PARKSIDE After a shaky start in their return season in the VAFA, Parkside have turned their season round, and deserve their spot in this year’s finals series.

After leaving the Association in 2002, the VAFA were delighted to regain the side in both Division

DIVISION 4

Unfortunately for Parkside though, this will be a mountain too big to climb. Even if McLaren racks up 50 touches and Potter kicks 15, I expect them to still come up short. Dale Collins has slipped away a little in his own individual efforts as the rest of his side tune in, however I wouldn’t be surprised if he produces a bag this week.

Old Westbourne is devastatingly good form at the moment, and unlike their ladder topping counterparts in Canterbury, they have a near full list to chose from.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 SAMUEL DEVLIN – WEST BRUNSWICK Congratulations to Samuel Devlin of West Brunswick who is this week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star nominee.

Sam made the move to the VAFA from Country Victoria for university commitments and to play alongside his older brother, Rob. Whilst he is quiet around the club, he lets his ferocious attack and willingness to compete at each contest do the talking.

Sam plays taller than his stature dictates, often out-marking much taller opponents and more often than not, finishing with the most tackles on the ground. Sam previously played senior footy at Echuca Football Club, playing his first game at the age of 17.

Much like North Melbourne’s star forward Lindsay Thomas, Sam causes headaches for opposition teams by working hard up and down the wing and becoming dangerous when going forward.

In just his second senior game, Sam was best on for West Brunswick as he carried his side to victory by kicking four miraculous goals.

* 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.

University High School – Victoria University AFC Division 3 - VAFA Seeking applications for coaching positions for Senior, Reserve, Club XIII and Colts.

Finalists 2010 – 2015, we are looking for coaches to join us in taking the next step.

Excellent facilities at Brens Oval, Royal Park.

Established feeder network with Flemington Juniors and Victoria University.

Applications to uhsvuinbox@gmail.com Applications close September 30th, however potential applicants are encouraged to express interest before that date.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2010 Elsternwick recorded a terrific win over La Trobe Uni and booked themselves a finals’ berth. After an even first quarter, the Wicks took control by the main break and stormed home to finish with a 19.8 to 8.13 victory. They would play Albert Park in the elimination final the following week. Best – Bedingfield (5), Convery (3), Smith, Glassenbury, Hayes, Mahoney (Elst) and McLean, Adamthwaite, McCormack, Harry, Wood (La Trobe). The Trobers were left to lick their wounds and prepare to face Power House in the qualifying final in a week’s time.

In Division 4, a spirited Box Hill North put paid to South Mornington’s finals’ aspirations with a great win, 19.12 to 14.19, leaving a grateful Eley Park in fourth position with a week of finals’ preparation ahead of them. In the windy conditions, a wasteful South Mornington kicked 3.9 to 2.2 in the first quarter. Box Hill North made no such mistake when their chance came with the blustery conditions favouring their end in the second quarter and led 10.8 to 4.9 at half time. South Mornington kicked 6.6 in the third term but it was not enough and the Boys from Box Hill cantered home 19.12 to 14.19. Best – Tiley, Harrison, Charles (4), Berlowitz (5), Desmond (3), Doney (BHN) and Foon, Wright, Hocket, Killen, W Spencer (3), Woodruff (SthMorn).

At Ivanhoe’s centenary year dinner, special mention was made of life member, John Miles, for his outstanding contribution over the past 60 years. Four time premiership player in his 170 games, including the A Grade premiership in 1956, “Milesy” was a highly esteemed past player. But it didn’t end there; John had coached numerous junior teams at Ivanhoe, had been a member of the club committee since 1953 in various roles from Assistant Secretary to President. He was also a previous winner of the Best Clubman Award (by 2010 known as the John Miles - Best Clubman Trophy) and had been responsible for architectural, plumbing and building improvements at the Ivanhoe Club over many years. John had served the VAFA at executive level and had been awarded VAFA Life Membership in 1987. John also played a very handy game of ‘500’ on VAFA Interstate trips (and I speak from experience). John would like nothing better than another Ivanhoe flag in the current season (‘2015).

Jordon Heffernan played his 250th game for Old 42

Camberwell having first played for the club in 1996. A former U19 best and fairest winner. Jordan had been a regular member of the 1st XVIIl over 12 seasons He was a premiership player in 2001 and 2007 and was a life member of his club.

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 In Division 2 the semi finals went according to the positions in the top four. Old Geelong was ‘brutal’ in the first quarter against Rupertswood with 8.

6 to 2.2 but ‘The Woods’ fought back strongly in the second quarter and trailed by only 8 points at half time. It was a hard fought third term with Rupertswood straining to stay in touch, the difference 3 goals as OGS wasted a number of chances in front of goal. Old Geelong finished even stronger to win 18.18 to 12.8 and Rupertswood would need to come back via the preliminary final. Best – Bell, O’Brien (3), Vasey, Vickers-Willis, Casboult, Fairbairn (OG) and Burrows, T West, Gaunt, Brennan, Whitehead (5), McGovern (Rup).

The first semi saw Peninsula Old Boys also start superbly with an 8.5 quarter, Williamstown CYMS only able to kick a solitary goal. Peninsula continued on their merry way finishing well on top, 21.17 to 9.11 and with plenty of confidence for the following weekend against Rupertswood.

Spearhead and skipper Payze would be a key player again in the prelim, his 10 majors in the semi taking his total to 101 for the season. Best – Murray, Payze (10), White, Powney, Atchison, Wood (Penin) and Manning, J Hynes, Hinsley, Kosmatos, McNamara, Ryan (Will).

West Brunswick easily won the first semi final 12.14 to Old Westbourne 6.9 Best – S Benjamin, Edwards (3), Maguire, Miller, Smyth (3), Pietsch (WB) and Baulch, Walker, M Aquilina, Fairfield, A Miller, Hodgson (OW).

St Mary’s had the 1st semi pretty well sown up by half time and ran out winners over Hawthorn 16.16 to 9.12. Best – Graetzer, Ballantine, L Armstrong, C Armstrong, Waller, Ryan (StM) and Jackomos, Martin, Saulle, Lauletta, Rielly, Rice (Haw).

In the ‘For the Love of the Game’ column, the following coaches were said to be retiring from their respective positions – Mike McArthur-Allen (Mazenod), Peter Russo (Old Mentonians), Leigh Carlson (Old Trinity), Russell Barnes (St Bedes MT), Peter Smith (Albert Park), Steven Bell (Aquinas), Justin Paul (Bentleigh), Jon Edgar (Monash Blues), Ange Sammartino (Nth Brunswick), Steve Maus (Old Carey), Brett Devlin (Power House), Earl Henderson (Sth Melb Districts) and Shane Mottram (UHS-VU). A number of these coaches THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

were to go on to continue their coaching careers in the VAFA at different clubs.

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 St Leos Wattle Park demolished Yarra Valley Old Boys in the E East Section 2nd semi, 20.13 to 7.12.

Best – Dincolantonio (5), Douglass, Gill, Armstrong, Kelly, Robinson (St Leos) and Livesey-Cole, Peake, Downs, McVean (4), McLeod, Fung (YV).

In the 1st semi Aquinas were far too goo for Old Carey, 26.12 to 6.12. Best – Dunne (3), Wilkinson, Whelan (10), Kenny, Colliver, Boland (Aquinas) and Popplewell, Lord, Everett, Harris, Greenwood, Anderson (Carey).

In E Central Section North Brunswick came from behind at the final break to defeat Uni Reds 14.20 to 13.13. Best – “A great team effort” as submitted

by Nth Brunswick and Arnott, Cook (5), Wright, Rowland, Perkins, McLennan (Uni Reds).

The first semi was won by Old Essendon easily over UHSOB 20.16 to 8.7. Best – Panagiotopoulos, Goodger, Tonks (4), Pigott, Turner, Gulbis (OEss) and Smith, Griffiths, Ryan, Fennessy (3), McLean, Williams (UHSOB).

The E South Section first semi was won by Power House, behind at half time but victors 16.10 over Oakleigh 14.14 at the final bell. Best – “Another fantastic team effort” was submitted by Power House and Heverin (4), Marshall (4), Moutis, Walsh, Brereton, McKenner (Oak).

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 In C Section, Banyule considered themselves a real chance in the finals and their strong win over Old Haileybury 18.8 to 12.13 only confirmed this.

After a slow start the Bears came home strongly with 6 goals to 3 in the last quarter. Also in C Section, Thomastown were only just outside the four and with a better percentage than the fourth placed team. Against Monash Blues, Thomastown controlled the game after Monash broke away in the first term with 7 goals to 2, Thomastown running out winners 16.14 to 12.7.

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 Uni Blacks were defeated by 10 points against St Bernards but held on to 4th position, as Ormond, who finished level on points, did not win by a big enough margin to overcome the percentage difference. It would be the first time in 10 seasons that Ormond had missed the finals.

The Umpires’ Association elected Alan Bishop and Ken Jorgenson to life membership. At an umpires’ THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

social event (champagne and chicken dinner) at Ray Muller’s home, relatively new umpire, Fred Grubb, entertained the crowd with his repertoire of Al Jolson hits.

Geelong congratulated their evergreen rover turned wingman, Mick Allden, on 150 games. Mick had played in two premiership teams, C Section in 1966 and B Section in 1972. He had also won three club best and fairests and had represented the State in Hobart in 1969.

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 In A Section Coburg defeated Old Paradians 9.10 to 7.12 and it was Coburg’s 6 goals in the first quarter that set up the win. Best – Callahan, Scanlon, Condron, Carolan (3), Merrick, Gardner (Cob) and Parker, Quinlan, T Booth, Ford, Peyton, Boyle (OP). These two teams would go on to play one-another in the first semi final the following weekend.

In B Section, Ivanhoe, who could not lose their fourth position in the top four, enjoyed a practice run for the first semi final the following week by steamrolling Power House 24.23 to 5.3. Ivanhoe kicked 7 and 8 goals in the 2nd and 4th quarters.

Best – Logan (43), Cairns, Grylewicz (6), Berry, Atkinson, Blackwood (Ivanhoe) and Hutchinson, Hughes, Alde, P Dakin, Sabey, South (PH).

Ormond were ‘tickled pick’ with the display of champion half forward, John Craig, who made a reappearance in the Reserves after weeks on the sidelines with injuries. John finished the day with 12 goals 12 behinds and Ormond stated that ‘Craigy’ was back in town!

60 YEARS AGO - 1955 The VAFA’s best and fairest awards had been decided and announced.

A Grade - R Fenton-Smith (Ormond) 19 votes, P Harkness (Uni Blues) 15 votes, R Oakley (State Savings Bank) and W Reynolds (Commonwealth Bank) both on 13 votes.

MEGT U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12

HOME & AWAY DONE…TIME FOR FINALS FOOTY! With all the top 4 places sorted, the battles between the rest of the competition were taking place for a bit of pride and wanting to finish their seasons off in the best possible way. Old Melburnians took on Old Scotch at Camberwell Sports ground, the home side took a 1pt lead into the first break, but kicked away from there and lead by 13 at the half. Scotch continued their dominance after the break kicking 7 goals to 3 and blowing the game into their favour. They went on to win by 93pts and avoid relegation by 2 games.

Padbury continued his goalkicking dominance booting by kicking 8 goals in what was a dominant performance by the team of the year Full Forward. Ted De Fegeley was the best player on the ground for Old Melburnians. Tough year for both sides but had some real positives throughout, will be back next year to try and improve their ladder position from this year.

best on ground performance kicking 3 along the way. Beattie Powell kicked 3, while Zagni had another blinder and was just about best on ground. Both sides head to the finals with plenty left in the tank, Beaumaris will take on St.Kevins on Sunday while Bernards face the Xavs at Waverly Oval.

Old Trinity finished off their 2015 campaign with a comprehensive win against a fellow cellar dweller University Blacks, it looks like both teams will be getting relegated, but they still wanted to finish their seasons off in style. A tight opening term saw Trinity lead by 7pts at the first change before kicking 6 goals to 2 in the second and trinity took the momentum from their on.

Hargreaves had a great day kicking 4 goals for the home side and was a serious presence up forward. Allen was just about Blacks best player kicking 3 goals and getting plenty of the ball. Trinity running away with a 7-goal victory. Unlucky year for the 2 new sides, tough competition to be in but they battled to the end and will no doubt be more comfortable in section 2.

The Old Xaverians took the minor premiership out in 2015 and consolidated their position on top with a 20 goal win at the hands of Uni Blues who have showed some positive signs this season. The Xavs were far too strong though with this years “Coleman Medallist” Sam Cleeve kicking 11 for the day to win the medal. He was dominant and will be a big presence come finals time no doubt. Amad and Morris were also impressive in the win. For Uni Blues Fry and Curnow were their best. Uni showed some good signs this year but were ultimately overpowered by the top 4 sides throughout, as for the Xavs, a slow start to the season but an impressive end saw them win 8 in a row in the back end to take top spot.

St.Bernards were far too good for a gallant Beaumaris side at the Snakepit. The Snowdogs took a 1 goal lead at QT and a 23pt lead at the main change, before the Sharks rallied to try and shake the home side going in at 3QT 7pts down but with plenty of confidence. Bernards eventually kicked away to win by 4 goals with Sibbald kicking 4 and O’Halloran putting in a 44

St.Kevins took De La after their impressive victory over St.Bernards the previous week and continued their winning ways, albeit in a tough contest. 1 goal separated them at QT while at 3QT De La lead by 1pt before Skobs settled and kicked 3 goals to 2 to run away with a 14pt win and finish 3rd on the ladder.

De La had an impressive but often inconsistent season but showed glimpses of being a champion team and will no doubt be a force in 2016. Stagg put in a good performance for Skobs while Anastasio was impressive in the loss.

It was a great season, with big wins, small wins, bags of goals and ladder fluctuation. Its all over now, so let the games begin, finals footy starts this week, were all very excited!

MEGT U19 SECTION 2 & 3 with Tom Neuendorf

SECTION TWO The final round of the season ended with an ominous performance from a full strength Parkdale side, as they defeated Old Ivanhoe by 123 points. Daniel Rendell booted six and Parkdale’s spread of goal kickers will be the most pleasing aspect of the win as they head into finals.

Mazenod finished the season on a positive note with a gritty come from behind win at Whitefriars. The 7-point victory was a fantastic finish to an otherwise disappointing campaign for the Nodders who end the season on five wins.

SF TWO — Parkdale Vultures v Old Brighton Old Brighton got the best of an undermanned Vultures side in their previous matchup this season, but Parkdale are almost at full strength now and the clash promises to be a beauty. Jack Vorbach is one name to watch for the Vultures, and has been prominent in the midfield all season. If Vorbach and the Parkdale midfield can get the ball rolling their way early it will create headaches for Old Brighton, especially with the likes of Bradley Austin and Josh Green buzzing around in the forward line to finish off the work. For the Tonners, what more can you say? They have had an absolute dream run to this final and are in scintillating touch. They just have so many avenues to goal and if you shut down one of them, another will bob up for a bag. Jack Cowling is an excitement machine and will need to be stopped; Thomas Larkworthy has been in hot form the last two weeks and will be looking to take his form into this final.

Final Prediction – Old Brighton by 24 points SF ONE — Fitzroy v Caulfield Grammar Caulfield Grammar enter their Semi Final against Fitzroy in a rich vein of form. They have won five on the trot and their last loss just happened to be against the team they are facing this weekend. They have match winners across the field, with Lachlan Topp coming off a ninegoal haul against Collegians in the final round. The key for Caulfield is getting off to a strong start away from home; if they can achieve this it will go a long way to a famous victory.

SECTION THREE Old Carey and Hampton Rovers played out a classic on Saturday afternoon, with the Panthers coming away with a 1-point victory. The loss was absolutely heart breaking for the Rovers who kicked themselves out of the game, squandering opportunity after opportunity in front of the big sticks. They now miss out on finals football, with .22% separating them and Ormond in 4th and 5th on the ladder.

Old Geelong will play Williamstown CYMS twice in two weeks after defeating the red hot Willy team by 29 points on Saturday. The result will give Old Geelong a massive confidence boost heading into their semi final showdown this weekend.

SF TWO - Old Geelong v Williamstown CYMS The two teams meet for the second time in two weeks, and Williamstown will be keen to get revenge on Old Geelong. If they are to win this weekend, they will have to stop the most dominant forward in the section in Jock Grimshaw, who has booted an almighty 68 goals for the season. Williamstown do possess a weapon of their own, with Mitchell Parkinson not far behind Grimshaw on 65 majors for the season. If either of these two get their opportunities it will go a long way to determining the outcome of this beauty. Prior to the weekends defeat, Williamstown were in red hot form, and call me stupid but I think they will roll Old Geelong this weekend.

Final Prediction –Williamstown by 3 points SF ONE – Old Carey v Ormond I wouldn’t be surprised if Ormond were still partying, having scraped into the finals by the skin of their teeth.

Old Carey head into this game warm favourites having swept the Monders in their series this season. Harrison Hill has been in unbelievable form for the Panthers over the past month and he will be a key factor in the midfield. If Ormond are to win in this one they will need a significant contribution to the scoreboard from their midfield, as their forward line hasn’t been their strength this year. I think Old Carey will do it comfortably in this one.

Final Prediction – Old Carey by 36 points

Fitzroy have had a super consistent year and are deserving recipients of the home final. Their attack can match it with the best, boasting two of the most talented goal kickers in the section in Daniel O’Connor and Joseph Hill. If the Lions can supply these two with opportunities in front of goal, they will inflict some serious damage to the scoreboard.

Final Prediction – Fitzroy by 6 points.

TOP TWO FINISH IN STYLE

VAFA COLTS — TIPS IN BOLD St Bernards v La Trobe Ivanhoe v UHS-VU/Flemington

Ivanhoe and UHS-VU both recorded big wins in the final round to take the momentum into what promises to be an exciting semi-final clash next week. UHS-VU put 20 goals past Parkside who didn’t score until the third quarter. Hawkins, Munari, Mohamed and Legudi all kicked three goals each in the 136 to 21 win.

Ivanhoe was clinical against Williamstown, as their defence was rock solid by only conceding one goal in the first half. Samuel Aanensen was again potent up forward with four goals while Patrick Conlan stood out for Ivanhoe 71 point win.

La Trobe recorded a 40 point win over Old Paradians with Liam Guy booting five goals while University Blues finished the season in fifth spot after beating Point Cook by 44 points.

U19 SECTION 4

ST KEVINS LEAPFROG BOTH BLUES Needing to win and have other results go their way to sneak into the four, St Kevins ticked the first box by beating Parkdale by 41 points. In a tight first half where goals were scarce, SKOB led at half time by 11 points. With a rev up at the break, knowing a finals spot was on the line, SKOB responded with a stronger second half, kicking eight goals to Parkdale’s four. Lachlan Wray was again best on with five goals.

St Kevins then needed either Monash or Northern Blues to lose their respective games to qualify. They needn’t have worried as Monash was smashed by Mazenod and Northern lost a close one to Beaumaris. Monash didn’t manage to score until the third quarter, with Mazenod’s Jacob Murdock and Jaydyn Hill booting eight and seven goals respectively in the 161 to 11

FB: HB: C: HF: FF: R: INTER: 54

drubbing. Unfortunately the loss ends Monash’s season as they fell out of the top four.

Northern Blues were overrun by Beaumaris as they kicked eight last quarter goals to win by seven points. Delle-Vergini kicked eight majors, taking his regular season tally to 84, a remarkable effort. In the other games, Peninsula finish the season on top, beating Therry Penola by 54 points. Oakleigh downed De La by one point with Anmol Malhotra kicking five goals and Old Haileyburians finished the season in style with a 60 point win over Melbourne High.

a message to the staff at HQ telling them that he’d be providing lunch for them on Friday as there was so much left. Unfortunately the Poker crew weren’t aware of Woody’s plans and proceeded to consume most of what was there as sustenance for a long night at the table, leaving Woody to frantically make other arrangements for lunch.

It’s hard to believe that finals are already upon us. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we entered round one, carrying full hopes and expectations, with the business end of the season a distant thought. Now, in the blink of an eye, we are here and it’s time to get down to the really serious stuff.

To those clubs whose season ended on Saturday, thank you for your support this year. As an umpiring group, we are lucky at the calibre of clubs and people that we work with each week and we wish you all the best for next year.

To those who are in the finals good luck and we’ll see you on the field.

PAZZA’S 300TH Congratulations to Rob Parry who umpired his 300th game at Collegians last weekend. Rob was lucky to make it to the start of the season this year, let alone his milestone after suffering a life threatening health scare late last year. But Pazza has bounced back and was able to celebrate his milestone in Premier, a really fantastic effort.

Rob would like to thank both clubs for their support on the day as well as his running mates for the game, with special praise to Dom Napoli, who organised for Rob to receive the match ball and even a mount so that it can be proudly displayed.

MASTERCHEFS VISIT THE VAFAUA The whole of the VAFAUA would like to thank Old Ivanhoe for putting on a feed for us last Thursday night. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all, especially the poker crew, but this doesn’t mean you’ll be getting any favours from us in the finals.

WOODHEAD LETS DOWN HQ As the boys from Old Ivanhoe overestimated the amount that we eat, there were plenty of left overs after the feed. Umpires chief Brian Woodhead, sent THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

PRE-FINALS DINNER What a night it was. A fantastic turn out at the home of football. The MCG really is an amazing venue at night.

From all the VAFAUA we congratulate Paul Tuppen and David Windlow on their life membership awards. Both have been outstanding servants to the world of umpiring for a long time and this recognition is thoroughly deserved.

We also would like to congratulate and thank St Bernards, who have been awarded the best club by the VAFAUA. We found this award extremely hard to give this year as we are looked after extremely well by all the clubs but this year, the Snowdogs were first past the post.

Other major award winners on the night were: Best First Year Umpire: Logan Webster

Andy Carrick Award: Graham Booth Bob Dunstan Award: Bernie Jephson Young Achiever: Hamish McCartney Most Improved: Matthew Clinton (Field), Sam Beer (Boundary), Michael Driver (Goal) Golden Whistle: Peter Bailes As usual festivities kicked on at Crown, but this is where footy trip rules kick in.........

So here we are, one round of Premier grades to go, and finals kicking off in the Divisions. It’s been a fantastic year, and it promises to be a great finals series. For those who have the opportunity to run in the finals, enjoy the experience. This is what we train for. For those whose season has ended, thank you for a great year and we look forward to seeing you all again for season 2016.

SPARTANS SPARKLING SUCCESS; ST FRANCIS TRIUMPH. Before a large crowd and with conditions conducive to good football, the Club XV111 Season concluded on a balmy early spring Grand Final day.

SECTION 1 Hawthorn proved their late season form was of the required standard as they led throughout the game to defeat defending Premiers, Old Xaverians, by thirty-six points.

Hawthorn’s pressure was unrelenting and their ball movement by hand and foot oftleft the “Crocodiles” flat footed. Their stamina and precision kicking put to rest the thoughts I shared with others that the big Sportscover Arena would not suit Hawthorn.

The first quarter proved to be one where each defence was on top of the forwards. The Xaverians were only able to record four minor scores whilst the “Spartans” scored two goals.

Hawthorn defender, Adam Jesser brought the crowd to its feet when he carried the ball from the Hawthorn half back line, broke through a Xaverian tackle and kicked a team-lifting goal.

This surely was “the goal of the season”. The Hawthorn ascendency continued throughout the second quarter when they added another three goals and held their Xaverian opposition to a solitary goal kicked late in the quarter by veteran “Crocodile” coach, David Landrigan.

The third quarter was the best for Old Xaverians

who added four goals to three by their opponents. The closest the Xaverians came to the Hawthorn score was when their several attacks brought them to within eight points.

However, Hawthorn rallied, and by three quarter time their lead was twenty-one points. The last quarter again produced a close tussle where defenders again held the ascendency. It was a rare occurrence for the Xaverians, who failed to score in the quarter. Hawthorn continued their scoreboard dominance by adding another two goals, which gave them their winning margin of thirty-six points, doubling the “Crocodile” score.

Veteran Hawthorn player, Angelo Lekkas won the Landrigan – King Medal for the best player in the game. Angelo played 180 games with Hawthorn in the A.F.L. between 1996 and 2005. Others to do well for Hawthorn, included; Nicholas Criticos and defender, Jean Daou.

Best for Old Xaverians included: Simon O’Brien, Tim. Silk and Nick Corcoran. The Steve Mason Medal for the Fairest and Best in the Section was awarded to Matthew ‘Warren’ Walsh of Old Xaverians. John Farah of Hawthorn won the Section goal-kicking award.

WINNING EDGE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP ST KEVINS TAKE OUT WINNING EDGE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

A big congratulations is in order for St Kevins Old Boys who officially sewed up the Club Championship in a canter. It has been a remarkable year for St Kevins, with their Seniors and Reserves still undefeated with one fixture to play, their two thirds sides playing off the premiership this weekend and their two under

19 sides competing in the finals. Whilst it is easy to see how the club has done so well considering the overdose of talent coming through their system, it must be said that it has not been an easy road. The club has not won a senior final for almost a decade and has moved through several coaches since the heady days of their 2004 premiership in Premier B. They appear set for William Buck Premier under the guidance of Daniel Harford and VAFA stalwart Jon Edgar. Currently sitting on 159.5 points, they are the 2015 Winning Edge Club Championship winners, proceeding University Blues, who also claimed the award when they were in Premier B, in 2014 and the Old Xaverians in 2013.
