HEAD HIGHNO DUCKING THE ISSUE

AFL has this year decided that this action is to be outlawed and any player leading with the head will not be given the free.

April 5 is the earliest start to a VAFA season in living memory. Having a stand-alone Premier Grand Final and Easter occurring late in April has caused this earlier than usual commencement time. Previously Round 1 has been scheduled as late as the last weekend in April. This early commencement has caused some issues for clubs finalising grounds and teams which in turn has impacted on fixtures. Still, we got underway last weekend and with Premier joining the rest of the competition we have a full book of matches this weekend. The safety of all players has been highlighted with an unfortunate incident where Newcastle Knights player Alex McKinnon was left a suspected quadriplegic. McKinnon was brought out of an induced coma two weeks ago following surgery on his fractured C4 and C5 vertebrae. Last weekend two country football matches were called off after players suffered neck injuries. An Ovens and Murray League match between Albury and Yarrawonga was called off in the second quarter after an ambulance was called to transport Albury player James McQuillan to hospital with concerns for his neck. McQuillan had scans at Albury Hospital on Saturday night before he was placed in an induced coma for safety reasons and flown to Melbourne. The Heathcote District League clash between Elmore and Heathcote was also abandoned in the second quarter after Heathcote coach Grant Ford copped a knock in general play and hurt his neck. Recently the AFL has been strong on preventing the potential for such injuries and have deemed that any head high contact with a player would result in a free kick being given to the player who received the contact. This no tolerance principle may have led to many players leading with the head and working a free kick. As a response the

The NRL cases and the AFL incidents are different. The NRL case involved a tackle where a player was lifted and ended up head first onto the ground. This type of tackle is outlawed in the AFL and is thankfully rarely seen on our grounds. In Australian Rules the problem occurs when a player leaves his head unprotected and receives contact either from the front or side. When I grew up playing football we were always taught to protect your head. Maybe the game was a lot rougher then and the elements of protecting yourself were always at the front of mind. Possibly, today’s players don’t have that same fear element of getting met aggressively, some may say illegally, by an opposition player and are therefore less inclined to concern themselves about safety. When approaching the ball I was always instructed to turn your body and get your backside between yourself and the oncoming player – never leave your head out there to get knocked off. Not only would this protect your head but also give you the opportunity to receive a free for in the back. A much better result than trying to work a free for around the neck. One could argue whether paying every free kick for head high incidents has led to more players leading with the head but we can’t argue that players need to be better educated in learning to protect themselves and approach the ball in the safest way. Australian Rules is a difficult game to master with players approaching you from all angles, so teaching our players the best way to protect themselves is a responsibility of all coaches, especially those at the junior level.

THE BEST OF LOCAL FOOTY IS BACK Welcome to the 2014 season. Whilst the rest of the competition started last week it didn’t quite feel right checking livescores.vafa.com.au last week and not seeing any Premier matches taking place. Given the recent AfL Victoria Metro Championships result and indeed the recent results of the VAFA’s rep program, it could quite reasonably be argued that Premier Section of the VAFA is the best senior competition in country outside of the AFL and the State Leagues. We have some wonderful players, astute pioneering coaches and of course a great standard of footy to watch every week and it is great to have it back. The stakes don’t get any higher unless you are in a final. Round 1 is the home and away fixture win most coveted by every single club. A whole preseason of training, learning game plans and preparing for a match that can kick start your year. Win round one and all is well in the world, all the preparation has been worth it. Lose and more questions asked and fingers pointed than an episode of Poirot. I may have lost many readers with the reference to Poirot, but the fall out from a round one loss is magnified more than any other loss throughout the season. Remember the endless analysis of the AFL sides that lost their opener. Season over! Game plan up in smoke? Off field distractions! What have they been doing all summer? Just some of the many accusations that were thrown. So what are the prospects of the ten clubs striving to be there on the (second) last Saturday in September.

missing out Jason Blake returning to his old club, they have secured the services of Raphael Clarke. They also targeted and got Steve Lawrence back to a senior coaching job and he takes the helm of a side with more upside in them than many might think. Collegians - Played two practice matches against St Bernards and Old Trinity, within these two matches the men in purple played two of the best quarters of football they have played in sometime. Both were opening term assaults so look for Collegians to jump out early in their matches. Much to improve on last year and promisingly have 17 Premier Sections premiership players fit and available. The loss of Jack Bull to Old Scotch hurts but the biggest in is new senior co-coach Darren Baxter to join Mark Hibbins. They have plenty to be quietly confident about. De La Salle - Much like last year ‘s week-to-week team, there have been a number of changes, most notably the coaching group, with Paul Satterly bringing his AFL and VFL experience to Waverley Park. Matt Fieldsend and Sam Williams are back on a more permanent basis, but Woodrow Medallist Jake Williams will likely spend the whole year at Collingwood’s VFL. Importantly they have gained height with old boys Ant Furato (Frankston),Oscar Persson (Sandy) joining Tom McMahon back at the club. Old Brighton - After the euphoria of the Club’s 2013 Premiership, Old Brighton Grammarians are thrilled to test their abilities back in Premier PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 3 / 60%)

Beaumaris - The Sharks were magnificent early last year before a late season rally saw them earn a well deserved second crack in Premier. Tom Dean and Matt Petering are stars, but they do bat deep. Whilst they might be disgruntled 2

Section. Simon Williams has most of last year’s squad intact, and although the Tonners will miss James North and Tom Mariani, who is overseas, they do regain ruckman Matt Smith, experienced Josh Homann and B&F winner Matt Gadsden. Youngsters Harry Cannon, Charlie King and Ollie Cavallaro will step up. Old Scotch –The Cardinals are due. They have been in years before but it feels different this time. Andrerson and Powell are in year three their plan and they have one of the best midfielders in the comp returning home in Jack Bull, also Eugene Routman steps up from AJAX. The services of Lindsay Gilbee will be reduced, as will those of Woodrow runner up, Nick Jamieson and young gun Jordan Clarke (Footscray VFL). However, Old Scotch have depth and some quality youngsters coming through. Old Trinity – Whilst devastated with a Grand Final loss last year, the OT’s will be a far superior group to the one that departed Premier in 2012. Brendan Iezzi is one of the premium midfielders in the competition, Henry Winter will ruck and Jake Walsh are good inclusions. Only real losses are Christian Butler (overseas) and the retirement of a certain Andrew Ramsden (see page 48). I expect Old Trinity to be very competitive. Old Xaverians – I wrote a headline last year of death taxes and Old Xaverians playing finals. It is hard to look past the reigning premiers to again be amongst the contenders. Nick Bourke is an out as Dom Berry takes sole control but the other outs are also telling. Ryan Colbert and Sam Tagliabue both depart for the country and there were retirements of fantastic players like Lynch, Sapuppo and Rogerson. The two Ambroses Pat (AFL) and Murphy (VFL) are also out. Nick Wynne was to play VFL but having broken his foot will most likely resume in red and black. Cayden Beetham is a great inclusion and there is plenty of depth so Xavs fans shouldn’t be too concerned. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers – As demoralising as last year’s grand final loss might have been there is no doubt that the Tigers would be taking the positives out of the day. They had so much youth in that side and their upwards curve is looking great. Mick Dwyer is a fantastic leader and an onfield leader in James Tyquin has returned as has Pat Liston from Bonbeach. Unfortunately Dean Porter and Hiwad Shaikaib will both spend large chunks of the year overseas but there are plenty of reasons to smile at Brindisi St. St Bernards – The rumblings from the Snakepit have been big in the pre-season. New coach Anthony Rock has instilled a belief that the players can make an impact on Premier this year. Liam Wilkinson and Tim Harvey have retiredwhilst Van Meel, Houlihan and Gosso departed for other competitions. Chad Jones (Claremont) is the big in with Alex McLeod and Jake Calvery new plus Josh Madden returning from overseas the list is primed to fire. University Blacks – If it has been noisy at the Snakepit, then the off-season whispers have been deafening at the University. Blacks – and Blues for that matter – are expected to do very well in their respective sections this year. McCauley is out, but the recruits of Jason Blake and Simon Hogan are testament to the pulling power of the Blacks and by all accounts new coach Cam Roberts has taken to the full time job like a duck to water. Five new coaches, ten great teams and a few splinters in the bum has me sitting on the fence when it comes to producing a ladder. So I will present the following crystal ball predictions and wish you all the best in 2014. Premiers: Old Xaverians; Big Improver: Old Trinity; Woodrow: Chris Waller (Old Xavs)

SHOCKS AND STATEMENTS Round one saw AJAX give Old Ivanhoe a baptism of fire in their welcome back to Premier B footy; Uni Blues make a statement to the competition against Old Melburnians; Caulfield take care of Old Haileybury away; Fitzroy account for St Kevins at TH King; and relegated Old Carey outclass the promoted Mazenod. Good luck if you tipped that! AJAX won the inaugural Henry Jolson Cup at Chelsworth Park, by beating Old Ivanhoe in the first fixture for the season. After unfurling their Premier C Premiership flag, Old Ivanhoe struggled to put any scoreboard pressure on their rivals. David Fayman kicked five goals for the victors, while debutant Dean Rotenberg was a pest up forward sneaking four majors. Delmonte was good across half back before a cameo forward with two goals for the home team, but it was not enough. The Hoes added a flutter of goals in the final term; but the match was well and truly done at that point. AJAX proved themselves as worthy contenders for season 2014, while Old Ivanhoe were simply outplayed at a higher grade of footy and will surely bounce back this week. Henry Jolson was a legendary member of AJAX’s first premiership in 1966, a game they won against Old Ivanhoe. The centre half forward was one of the club’s all-time greats, a brilliant high mark, a long, accurate kick and a sprint champion..Jolson passed away last year at 66, and both clubs agreed to honour him with a commemorative game and cup each season. At Melbourne University, the home side brought all their Premier Section class with them to Premier B. Eight goals in the first quarter, one of which came from a Dom Nixon hanger, saw them lead 54 points to 14 at the first break and have the game firmly in their control. Old Melburnians dug their heels in during the 4

second quarter, slowing the pace of the game and adding some scoreboard pressure. Led by Paule, Old Melburnians constricted the midfield in the third quarter kicking one goal to the Blues’ none. However the floodgates well and truly opened in the final term, with the Blues making good use of Cam Williams’ dominance in the ruck and adding 10 goals to the scoreboard. Dom Nixon kicked four for the game and was seemingly everywhere in the Blues’ forward 50, while youngsters Williams, Blakely, Curnow and Rippon were more than handy around the ground. Hywood kicked four of Old Melburninan’s eight goals in an impressive performance, while Paule and Cumbrae-Stewart showed some grit in the midfield. With no one over 26, it was a young Caulfield Gr. team who took to the park against Old Haileybury. Noticeably bigger bodied after a preseason under professional strength and conditioning program, Caulfield looked to have progressed to a higher standard of football. After losing star recruit Andrew McGuinness to a hamstring injury early in the first quarter, Caulfield’s youngsters put on a good display to account for their opponents by five goals. O’Keefe was strong for Caulfield up forward, slotting four majors, while Leigh and Price were ubiquitous around stoppages. Meehan led the home side’s goal kicking charge with four and Povey, Witherow and Nicolopoulos were best around the ground in a game that Old Haileybury can take a number of positives from. In what was an unpredictable game between sides that didn’t play in the Premier B last season, it was the relegated outfit that got the jump. Old Carey began the game with seven goals in the opening term to the Northerly end, which was being favoured by a moderate PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 1 / 20%) Fitzroy v Old Haileybury Old Carey v Uni Blues AJAX v Mazenod Caulfield Grammarians v Old Ivanhoe Old Melburnians v St Kevins

breeze. Carey’s inaccuracy in front of goal gave Mazenod chances throughout out the game, but Old Carey’s skill was too much to overcome. The Carey midfield combination of Rice, Smithwick, Howat and Roach were very clean around the ground and moved the ball decisively. Port Melbourne release player Guy Dickson, who is still under–19 eligible, played an outstanding first up senior game and alongside fellow youngster Andrew Sloane demonstrating there is some quality up and coming talent in the Carey ranks.. Inglis, Mann and Phibbs were best on for Mazenod, who have learnt some valuable lessons in higher grade footy and will move forward positively into next week. Fitzroy proved too strong for St Kevins at T H King Oval, coming from behind to win by 14 points. Turner starred up forward for Fitzroy, kicking five goals, as Baker and Mackay made the play around the ground. Kanakis was good for the home side up forward, kicking three

Next week sees Old Haileybury travel to the historic Brunswick Street Oval in Fitzroy and have a chance to add themselves to the winners column. In an enticing encounter, Old Carey host Uni Blues in a clash of the relegated.Mazenod have their work cut out, making the trip to Gary Smorgon Oval for a fixture against the powerful and inform AJAX. Old Ivanhoe have a chance to bounce back against Caulfield at Glenhuntly Oval. Finally , rivals Old Melburnians play St Kevins at Junction Oval in a game that will see one of the two more fancied pre season sides begin the season an unfavourable 0-2.

“THE LIGHTS ARE ON.....RACING NOW...” Hampton was the quickest away, Peninsula is surging forward, Marcellin have settled on the speed closely followed by Old Camberwell, two lengths to Pegs, Monash are pushing up three wide, on the inside is Oakleigh, a length to Ormond, further back is Banyule and Parkdale who missed the jump is a mile back, last. Nothing can prepare you for the first ten minutes of a round one encounter. The frenetic pace of the game. The hits and blocks to the body. The mental application needed to push through that initial pain threshold. Struggling through the lack of oxygen in your lungs after willing yourself to make that chase, or apply that extra shepherd. This week determined who could settle their nerves the best and adapt to the heat of round one action. It was a case of who could play four quarters of consistent footy. For some they succumbed to a second half fadeout whilst momentary lapses in concentration cost others. There were certainly no signs of a premiership hangover at Boss James Reserve as The Rovers sent an ominous warning to the rest of the competition with an 85 point demolition of Parkdale. The Vultures were still in the hunt at half time but any hopes of a comeback were snuffed out by a dominant second half display that saw the Rovers boot 16 goals to five. Daniel Corp (7) and Ed Turner (4) did the bulk of the damage whilst Jay Ting was named best afield. For the vanquished, Sean Hendricks and Chad Ryan worked tirelessly all day and were rewarded with two goals each. The Vultures backline were put under enormous stress as the Rovers peppered the goals all day – registering 38 scoring shots. To Parkdale’s credit they were able to bring some respectability to the scoreboard in the final term. Ormond got a taste of the standard required for Premier C football going down by 43 points to a Marcellin side that led all day. The game was evenly poised at half time, but a strong second half by the Eagles ensured they opened their 2014 account. Dominic Bolger played a starring role in the win booting four majors, ably 6

supported by Patrick Millsom and Jarrod Carlson who were instrumental. The Monders were left to rue inaccurate goal kicking as they kicked 5.18 for the day, having only three less scoring shots than the Eagles. A four-goal surge in the premiership quarter set up the win for The Eagles. Despite the best efforts of Thomas Cameron (2) and Luke Duthie, The Monders failed to hit the scoreboard when it counted late in the game. No doubt some goal kicking practice will be on the agenda at training this week. An arm-wrestle developed at Frearson Oval as the Monash Blues and Old Camberwell traded blows. In what was a tight contest for three quarters, the game opened up in the last term as the Wellers prevailed by 15 points. Jack Duke was lively up forward for the Wellers kicking five majors and Samuel Killworth chipped in with two of his own. Stephen Romanin and James Howells had plenty of it for the Wellers, whilst Tim Mackenzie was a solid contributor for the Blues. The Blues struggled to find an avenue to goal with Zac Ledin (2) their only multiple goal kicker. When the game went up a notch in the final term the Wellers backline were able to hold firm and show poise to retain possession. Monash wasted their final quarter scoring opportunities, unable to find targets when going inside 50. PEGS and Oakleigh played out a seesawing battle that saw Oakleigh cough up a valuable 15 point lead at three quarter time. Held goalless in the final term, the Krushers were overrun by a fast finishing PEGS outfit, eventually going down by 11 points. For The Krushers Aaron Cloke thrived in his new role down back whilst Tim Scott (4) and Steve Tolongs (3) caused major headaches for the Bombers defence.

didn’t lament over the loss and was pleased with the efforts of his chargers. PEGS held a handy 14 point buffer at half time but a third term lapse in concentration almost cost them the game, as tempers flared in a ferocious contest. However the PEGS outfit were able to regroup and restrict Oakleigh to a solitary behind in the final quarter. Jarryd French and Daniel Flaherty were among Pegs’ best, along with Skurrie who led the way with three majors. The Pirates held off a number of second half Banyule challenges to win by 37 points. Peninsula set up the win with a powerful first half display, kicking four unanswered goals into the breeze in the first quarter. In his first game, Feldgen was named best afield as he ran rampant across half back, Glenn led the midfield brigade and veteran Powney mopped up down back. When many thought the game was over, Banyule had other ideas. Smith and French led a Banyule resurgence in the third term, bringing

PREMIER C

I expect Monash to bounce back and get on the winners list in 2014 when they do battle with Parkdale at Gerry Green Reserve and Old Camberwell will continue their winning form with a win at home against PEGS. In what shapes as the match of the round I’m tipping Marcellin, aided by the home ground advantage, to upset the Hampton Rovers in a tight one. Similarly Banyule should get the points at home against Ormond, and I think Peninsula will have too much class and experience to defeat Oakleigh.

the margin back to just three goals. However the fightback had taken its toll on the Banyule players. Halfway through the final term the Pirates answered Coach Claringbold’s calls for a ‘lift’ slamming on three goals in quick succession, to deflate the Bears. The Bears were unable to contain Peninsula’s firepower up forward, with the Pirates finishing with seven multiple goal kickers.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

YARRA VALLEY’S ROB DREW WALKS AND WALKS AND WALKS… On Saturday March 1st 2014, Yarra Valley Old Boys senior coach Rob Drew completed the most inspirational fundraising effort that the football club has seen in its 21 year existence. Setting off from Sorrento at 3am, Rob walked to the Bushrangers’ new home ground in Leeds Street Doncaster. The journey took him more than 20 hours and in doing so, he raised more than $30,000 to help with the fit out of the clubs new rooms. With the club relocating to a new home, an extraordinary fundraising effort was going to be needed to ensure that the new home would be everything that the club needed and would provide the players the best opportunity to perform. So Rob went to club president Ron Garlepp with his “crazy idea” to walk 100km to raise $50,000 for the club. With the season fast approaching, Rob didn’t want to put his players at risk of injury so took on the task himself. Training for the journey had been considerably shorter than the 100km to be walked with the longest training distance just 23kms. Whether or not this would be a problem only time would tell. After a restless night, Rob and his support crew set off and were accompanied by many patrons of “The Conti” on their way home. After 4 hours, as he approached Mt Martha, the sun rose, and whilst he was still walking well, the sun was a welcome relief as the road and hills around Mt Martha are quite treacherous and he was on his own at this stage and in his own words was starting to get bored. In a strange role reversal, it was the cyclists who were abusing him and telling 10

him to get off the road. Frankston marked the halfway point, Rob was striding well, but the feet were beginning to become a factor. The positive was that he was ahead of his schedule, but in the back of his mind was the fact that he was still only half way. As the day wore on Rob continued, regularly joined by members of the playing group and supporters, but at 74kms things became really tough. After continuous cramping it appeared that the walk was over. Rob thought he was done. It took a member of his support walkers to get him through with quick spot of massage and encouragement. Fear of failing the task and letting down the club and those that had sponsored him was another driving factor in getting him back on his feet and so he set off again, to complete the final quarter of his journey. With the sun setting as he was walking past his workplace, he finally saw Doncaster appear on a road sign his support crew tried to lift his spirits, telling him that he was nearly there. However, knowing that the journey takes 20 minutes by car and with his walking pace slowing considerably due to fatigue and the relentless pain in his feet, Rob knew that he still had a long way to go. At this point Rob was about an hour behind his plan and relied of his support crew to keep his spirits up. As the support crew rotated, each new member spurred him on. In the last 4kms Rob’s parents joined him to finish it off. Unfortunately for Rob, he miscalculated the distance from Middleborough Rd to the ground, and there was one final hill which he audibly cursed. Every step was like walking on broken glass. Past players and committee joined him in the final stages and would have carried him home if need be. But the Yarra Valley coach is a determined man and this was his crazy idea. So at 11:27pm, after more than 20 hours on his feet, 10 pairs of socks and 100km, Rob Drew completed the journey to the adulation of those that braved the chilly night to see him home. In addition to being determined, Rob is also very humble. Many THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

would be looking for recognition and when asked how he would like to be remembered he merely answered, “Someone who put himself out there and followed through” and that he “would do it again if needed”. As for the walk itself, he doesn’t want it put on any pedestal but to be remembered as a as “just another thing that somebody did to raise money for the club”. Rob’s walk was an example to all who pull on the jumper as to what self-sacrifice is all about

and not being scared to put it all on the line and have a crack. To those that have formally worn the red, yellow and black and those behind the scenes, it was about reminding them how much the club means to them. Yarra Valley is a football club that is so much more that a place to play a game. It is a part of our lives and we will do whatever is needed to support the club and one of our own, no matter how crazy the idea.

CANTERBURY POST MATCH BAND

Each year clubs are looking at new and innovative ways to get both the home and away

supporters to hand around post match and enjoy a celebratory or commiserative drink. One club that is leading the way is new club Canterbury who entertained all their bar guests by having a live band in at the post match. The home team won their first ever match in the VAFA and the band 2econd Chan3 were there to help the players, supporters and sponsors celebrate.

HENRY JOLSON CUP

Old Ivanhoe and AJAX played in their round 1 Premier B opener last week and both clubs got together to strike and play for the Henry Jolson Cup. Henry Jolson OAM, QC, who passed away late 2013 at the age of 66, will be remembered by many for a distinguished legal career that spanned almost 40 years. While he was named a Legend of the Bar in 2012, Henry also held legendary status as a member of AJAX Football Club’s first premiership team in 1966. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

Many supporters and team mates said Henry Jolson became a household name in the Jewish community during his playing days. “He was one of the club’s all-time greats — the perfect centre half forward. A brilliant high mark, a long, accurate kick and a sprint champion.” As tribute to Henry’s qualities as “a player, a person and a mediator” AJAX FC joined with long-time VAFA rival (and loser of that 1966 Premiership match), Old Ivanhoe Grammarians, to inaugurate a perpetual trophy in his memory. The proposal for the trophy was put forward by past Old Ivanhoe captain-coach Bruce Jeeves, who enlisted the support of friend and former schoolmate Michael Roth to gain approval from the committees of both clubs. That trophy was first played for last week and we are sure that Henry would have been happy to see his Jackers do the right thing and claim the first one! (Pictured are captain Nick Marks (r) and Vice Captain Josh Ludski (l) holding the trophy.) 11

PAT AMBROSE STARTS WITH A BANG AT THE BOMBERS Quite literally Patrick Ambrose started his AFL career with a bang as he backed back into a pack only to be crunched by the traffic behind him when he made his debut in Essendon’s round 1 win over North Melbourne.

The former Old Xaverians forward and Big V representative was promoted to Essendon’s senior list on the eve of Round 1 and in his first two matches, has made an immediate impact for the Bombers. Putting his body on the line multiple times in the win over the Kangaroos before a 3 goal second half performance in the narrow loss to the Hawks had everyone in the football world singing his praises. Least of all his coach Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson who was considering substituting Ambrose at half time of the match against the Hawks. Only a late injury to Patty Ryder prevented the substitution of Ambrose and given the fact Ambrose often comes into games late because of his exceptional fitness, the move proved a good one. Ambrose missed last weekend’s match against the Blues to rest he battered body but on his opening two games, you can bet he will be back wearing the red sash sooner rather than later. Ambrose is the latest in the line of players to have debuted in AFL after playing regularly in the VAFA and wearing the Big V for the VAFA in a representative game THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

THE LAUNCH OF ORMOND TOGETHER There were many lunches at clubs to launch the season but with Ormond returning to Premier C they had close to 100 members, supporters and friends from both the senior and junior clubs present there to welcome the Monders to the 2014 season. Ormond unveiled its new brand ORMOND TOGETHER uniting players, volunteers and supporters as the club re-establishes itself in the VAFA’s Premier grades. The Hon David Southwick MP reassured the club that he would do everything in his power to make sure earthworks associated with removal of the North Rd level crossing commencing later this year would not adversely impact on the club.

The club also unveiled a fantastic portrait of Bob Skilton in the social room to mark his tenth anniversary as the club’s No 1 ticket holder, and the triple Brownlow medallist, who has been making a slow but sure recovery from complications with hip surgery in 2013, spoke about the important recreational hub that local football clubs provide for young men. Skilton regaled the audience with some of his trademark cheeky humour and recollections from VFL days with South Melbourne as a player and Melbourne as coach. Longstanding Ormond player, committee member and supporter Greg Fisher was also re-presented with his VAFA Certificate of Merit in front of the Club at the lunch. (Pictured: L-R David Southwick (State MP for Caulfield, and Ormond sponsor) Bob Skilton (No 1 ticket holder) and Club President Richard Simon (a former VAFA umpiring great, but now the father of two boys in Ormond’s 1sts and a third coming through). 13

Congratulations to Old Haileyburians’ veteran CHRIS FERGUSON who played his 150th game for the club last weekend. “Ferg” joined the Bloods in 2004 and has filled roles down back, up forward, and even in the ruck. Well known for throwing his wiry frame into any contest, Ferg’s courage has seen him on the injury list many times, only for him to keep getting back up again. Well done Ferg!

DIVISION 1

@JamesRied9

NEW BOYS MAKE THEIR MARK The excitement of promotion and relegation brings new teams to rattle the competition each season, and already the new boys are stamping their authority. Two of those clubs, Therry Penola and NOBS/St Pats started their campaign in Division 1 with healthy victories, placing them first and second on the ladder respectively. Early wins of 83 and 56-points earn more than just the four-points, but the respect of the section. You are only as good as your last effort, but the rest of the section looks on to see if that form will hold. Therry Penola’s goal of a hat-trick of promotions too the first step as they pulverised Old Geelong by 83-points. With an eight goal first term, Therry set the tone for a good afternoon, the match ended up a rout soon after. The OG’s managed to keep the margin under 30 at halftime, however they were just clinging on. Following the long break that clasp let go as the deficit became 47 at the last change. Then the floodgates opened and the Bannister brothers, Corey and Jarrod had a field day. Jarrod ended up with 6 goals, while Corey finished with double figures bagging 10. Last year we saw Old Geelong’s indifferent form on various occasions, but nothing like this. Expect a different OG’s to show up as they host NOBS/St Pats this week. For NOBSPC’s home game at St. Patrick’s College in Ballarat, the old boys donned the schools jumper for the first time in the VAFA, and fitting it was against old rivals Prahran Assumption. The visitors made the most of the pristine conditions and the wind at their backs, taking a two goal lead into the second quarter. And that lead could’ve been extended further as Prahran Assumption were looking at a 30-point advantage late in the term, but NOBSPC rallied with four late goals to be only 7-points behind at halftime. The second half was all one way traffic, in favour of the home team. They put last year’s Division 1 finalists to the sword as they kicked 11.12 to 2.3 for the half, running away to a 53-point victory. St Pat’s old boy, Christian Ryan starred on his old home ground kicking 5 goals, while big man Peter Shepherd was best on ground for his dominance in the ruck. For a third year in a row Old Mentonians opened 16

the season against Williamstown CYMS, and again it went down to the wire. In a free-flowing contest, the now established rivalry was back and forth throughout the first half. The Panthers took the lead for the first time in the second quarter, before the CY’s drove home three quick ones to be 10-points up at halftime. The third quarter was all Williamstown, as they kicked four goals and extended the margin to a game-high 32-points, the game seemingly sealed. However, Old Mentonians didn’t give in and they managed to pull back to within a kick midway through the term. OMFC had their chances to steal a late victory, having kept Williamstown goalless and controlling possession, but they couldn’t convert their opportunities scoring 4.7 for the term and consequentially lost by 4-points. Yarra Valley was unable to replicate fellow Division 1 newbies’form as the travelled to Ted Ajani Reserve to tackle Bulleen Templestowe. The Bullants kept the visitors goalless in the first quarter and slotted 3 of their own to take a 19-point lead at the break with the second being much the same. In the third, Bulleen Templestowe’s advantage became 38 and the game was done and dusted from here. Yarra Valley won the final quarter but never seriously proved menacing as the contest ended 87-60. The Bullants played a solid team effort with nine different goal scorers while Rob Edsall got plenty of the pill in a best on performance. Whitefriars started the long road to the postseason on a positive note, knocking off Melbourne High School Old Boys at home. The first term was a stalemate as the sides battled to produce scoreboard pressure with only two goals kicked for the quarter. Whitefriars slowly started to get into the swing of things in the second kicking three goals to one but the game still lacked intensity. Not until the final term did the game get interesting. Eleven of the nineteen goals were kicked in the last quarter as the rolling maul became goal for goal football. The Friars bagged six goals in the fourth to defeat MHSOB by 24-points. Whitefriars’ Jean Daou continued his form with four goals.

This week, Old Geelong host NOBS/St Pats and after last week they’ll need major improvement to get over the line. Expect a better performance from the OG’s but still see NOBSP coming out victorious. Whitefriars travel to Fearon Reserve to meet Williamstown CYMS, picking the CY’s in a close one. MHSOB face Therry Penola, and following their first round win, have to back the Lions. Prahran Assumption tackles Bulleen Templestowe, the two played out tight contests last year and after being embarrassed in round 1, Prahran Assumption will get redemption with a victory. Finally, Yarra Valley plays Old Mentonians, OMFC were unlucky not to win last weekend so backing them to finish the round 1-1.

DIVISION 2

ST MARY’S MAKE EARLY STATEMENT With round 1 now done and dusted, and four of the five games decided by 10 goals or more, the Division 2 ladder makes for some interesting reading. St Mary’s Salesian made an opening round statement, with a commanding 107 point win, while Old Eltham, Kew and St Johns round out the top four. All would have had lofty goals for the 2014 season, and it looks like, very little may separate the sides as the year goes on. The rebuilding Ivanhoe recorded a hard fought win over the relegated Glen Eira, in a perfect debut under new coach Paul Harris. Lucky to not be relegated in 2013, Monash Gryphons faced a formidable task of Old Eltham away to kick off their 2014 season, and it proved to be insurmountable. With 12 individual goal kickers for the day and Ciavola booting 5, the Turtles had control of this contest from start to finish. They burst out of the blocks with a five goals to one opening term, as they kept the Gryphons at arm’s length for the whole day before blowing them away in the last. In what turned out to be a tough pre-season for Monash off the field, may convert into a tough year on the field as well. The Gryphons will want to learn from their performance, take stock and get their season on track in a winnable game against Glen Eira this week. Old Eltham are always dangerous at home, but they need to be just as dangerous away to take the next step in 2014. In what was the performance of the round, St Mary’s Salesian, under new coach Jess Sinclair, sent a message to the other Div 2 sides, after thumping Old Paradians by 107 points at Garvey Oval. The game was scrappy early and St Mary’s forward Ben Andrews opened proceedings with his first of four for the game. While fellow forward Louis Holmes led and marked well, but didn’t convert as he would have liked, kicking 1.4 for the quarter. The game tightened up in the second as Parade worked their way back into the contest but failed to capitalise forward of centre. With new recruit Tim Dudgeon playing well on 18

debut and goals to Rogers, Holmes, Tanner and Weetra, St Mary’s opened up a 37 point lead heading into the main change. St Mary’s came out after half-time, looking sharper and quicker than the Raiders, conversion was again their problem though with 5.5, while Parade put through 3 straight after an improved effort. But holding a 54 point lead at the start of the last, St Mary’s produced their best football for the day, they went for the jugular, and banged on 10.1 to record a resounding 107 point win. This season is somewhat of an unknown for both Ivanhoe and Glen Eira, with both sides coming off, by their own admissions, a disappointing 2013. Both wanting to start the year in a positive way, the first quarter was tight. With two goals apiece at quarter time, Glen Eira would have rouged missed opportunities with 2.8 for the quarter. Ivanhoe got the game played back on their terms in the seconds and turned a six point deficit into a 13 point lead, taking the ascendency into halftime. Glen Eira came out firing in the third, they closed the gap got their nose in front, which set-up an intriguing last quarter. It may have been unconvincing, but Ivanhoe scrounged together 3.6 to 2.2 for the quarter and recorded a dogged 11 point win and started 2014 on the right note. As is much the case in round 1 clashes, in the first quarter of St Johns v South Melbourne both sides were rusty and the footy was hot early, with the tackling and pressure around the ball first rate. The game opened up as the quarter went on, with St Johns gaining the ascendency in the midfield but failing with their delivery inside forward 50. The JOCs rectified this in the second and their forwards capitalised to open up a five goal lead at halftime. With their backline resolute, the pressure high through the midfield, St Johns seemed to counter the majority of Districts forays forward and took DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 4 / 80%) Monash Gryphons v Glen Eira St Mary’s Salesian v Elsternwick

their opportunities when they presented. A seven goal to three third quarter gave them a match-winning 10 goal lead heading into the last. In an even last quarter and the sting out of the game, two late goals capped off a solid four quarter performance for St Johns, and for South Melbourne, it presented a lot to learn from. In a rematch of the Division 3 Grand Final, Kew, much like in the GF got off to a flyer, kicking six goals to none in the opening term. With Elsternwick missing 10 players from their Grand Final side and Kew boasting possibly the best depth in Div 2, it was always going to be a tough task for the Wicks. After quarter time, the game was a lot tighter as the scoreboard suggested and the Bears took a nine goal lead into the main break. Andrew Brazzale picked up where he left off in the Premiership win with a dominating six goal haul. In the third, Elsternwick showed

Judging by last week’s form, four out of the five home sides should win this week, while I’ll give Old Paradians a shot at redemption after their dismal performance in round 1.

some fight with a five goal to six quarter and would have wanted to save face in the last. A ten goal deficit proved too much for Anthony Grace’s chargers to overcome with Kew running out eventual 71 point winners and look set to go up another gear in 2014. For Kew, youngsters: Quinlivan, Margaritis, Leeuwen and Maibaum were exceptional in the senior debuts while Ryan Wyley was best afield with his run and carry off half back.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Clean boots, clear lines and fresh ambitions, there is nothing quite like the aura surrounding the beginning of a new football season. The time of year when last year’s fairytale team and the perpetual cellar dweller come together on equal terms, but hope to send an entirely different message out to the competition. Whether trying to prove they aren’t a pushover, one-hit wonder or the team that’s always almost good enough, all of the teams in VAFA’s Division 3 this year have their own unique journey ahead.

ROUND 1 REVIEW: Aquinas’s new coach Russell Barnes was triumphant in his first game at the club, defeating Emmaus St Leos by 10 points at Bennettswood Sports Ground. Sam Williams was dominant for the Bloods, piling on six goals in the win to continue his 2013 form in front of the sticks. The Animals gave Aquinas a scare in the final term, piling on 8 goals to reduce the 33 point three quarter time margin, but it wasn’t enough as they conceded 5 of their own and fell narrowly short at their home ground. UHS-VU were made to earn their victory over La Trobe University at Brens Oval, running away 20 point winners. Despite the final margin, both sides registered the same number of shots at goal, as La Trobe were made to rue missed chances with UHS kicking a staggering 16 goals and 3 behinds. The Trobers got great output from captain-coach Brenton Hunt and Jack McMeel up forward who combined for nine goals, but were countered by the Zookeeper’s Rhys Kirk and Thomas Bay who combined for ten to keep the visitors at bay. Last year’s Division 4 grand finalists Eley Park made light work of South Mornington at home, defeating the Tigers by a convincing 74 points. New ruck recruit Pat McMahon gave great supply to his midfielders at the stoppages for the Sharks, while Noel Bahnsen took full advantage of their inside fifty entries by kicking six goals. David Viola who kicked 45 goals for Eley Park last season, flourished in his new key defensive post. 20

In the closest game of the round in both Division 3 and every other section for that matter, Richmond Central overcame St Francis Xavier by two points at Kevin Bartlett Reserve. The X-Men led at every change by less than a goal in the nail-biter, but the Snakes came through when it counted stealing the win in the last term. Ben Spencer did all he could to spur his side to the win, kicking six goals in a losing side for the X-Men. In contrast, the biggest blowout of the round was at VAFA Headquarters, Sportscover Arena, where Division 4 premiers the Northern Blues defeated Albert Park by 91 points. The Falcons toiled away early in the contest before the run and carry of the Blues put the scoreline beyond doubt in the latter stages. James King was a standout for Northern in the clash kicking eight goals. Former section best and fairest Stuart Maunder provided a shining light in a dim day for the Falcons, kicking three goals in his first game back after a year on the sidelines. Blues sending an ominous message that last year’s premiership was no fluke. In the final game of the round, Swinburne absorbed ferocious pressure from Power House to finish with a comfortable 58 point win at St James Park. The Razorbacks fought hard in the first half before the game opened up, allowing them to kick nine second half goals. Tom Kennedy (5 goals) and Ben Higgins were both among Swinburne’s best players on the day.

ROUND 2 PREVIEW: Aquinas v UHS-VU -The Bloods only faced the Zookeepers once last season, with Aquinas coming away with a 13 point win in a low scoring affair. Aquinas should be able to keep their momentum going and make it two on the trot to start the year. South Mornington v Albert Park - The Falcons will be looking to make amends after last weeks thumping at the hands of Northern Blues.

Mornington will have a big job on their hands if they want to change their fortunes and stop that from happening. La Trobe University v Richmond Central - Expect the Trobers to take a few weeks to get settled in, as youth and high player turnover cause headaches in their early season results. The Snakes should be able to capatalise on this break-in period and get a win away from home. Northern Blues v Eley Park -The biggest game of the round comes in the form of last year’s Division 4 Grand Final rematch. The Blues will be unveiling the flag in their first home game for the season, which should evoke emotion in both squads. Result could go either way at the pint sized Ruthven Reserve.

Swinburne Uni v Emmaus St Leos - Swinburne look like they could be the big movers of 2014. If they can change their fortunes and win the close games they lost last season, expect them to charge into the finals with some confidence.

DIVISION 4

Ryan ‘Hammy’ Goodman

DIVISION 4 KICKS INTO GEAR The previews, speculation and Friday night’s out on the town came to a timely close last weekend as Division 4 of the VAFA got under way. All Division 4 teams were hungry for footy and keen to get out on the park – some made bold statements, some let their season opener slip, whilst others are clearly still in a state of transition. The competition favourites confirmed that very tag, whilst the competition newcomers performed an enthralling litmus test. That left the rest of the competition to either make the early running or consider round one a week of discovery with their true character to be revealed in the coming weeks

CANTERBURY (12.14-86) DEFEATED WESTBOURNE GRAMMARIANS (9.18-72) The battle of the two Division 4 newcomers attracted the attention of the competition as other clubs attempt to gauge the level of their fresh adversaries. It was Canterbury, who celebrated their first win since 2012 in their first outing since transferring from the EFL with a victory over the freshly minted Westbourne Grammarians. In what proved to be a tight tussle throughout the match, no more than three goals separated the sides at each of the breaks until a rampant Canterbury produced an almighty final term. The EFL converts overturned a 17 point deficit at three quarter time to win by 14 points. Westbourne will be disappointed to have squandered a defendable lead at the final change and rue the consequences of wayward kicking. Going forward, Division 4 will be wary of a Canterbury side who proved they can turn it on when required. CHADSTONE (4.4-28) LOST TO WEST BRUNSWICK (29.23-197) A team in the midst of rebuilding played host to one of the title contenders. Of recent seasons, Chadstone have generally faced a challenging prospect in the opening round, but the Magpies re-enforced that when you are in re-build mode, 22

there is no easy path to the top. That said, Chadstone showed flashes of brilliance as they adapt to a new style of football under coach Ken Schwab and adjust to playing with new teammates. All considered, Chadstone showed promise of competitively mixing it with other Division 4 teams in 2014. A strong showing from West Brunswick was punctuated with a superb mid-air snap goal from custodian Richard Benjamin from 30 metres. Whilst the scoring was shared around, Benjamin kicked six for the day and was well supported by Zac Tisdale who bagged five of his own. The Magpies will look to build on last week’s result as they host Point Cook on the club’s Friends and Family day today.

MANNINGHAM COBRAS (12.7-79) DEFEATED NORTH BRUNSWICK (4.6-30) Manningham got 2014 underway at home with a convincing win over North Brunswick. The Cobras’ poor showing in 2013 was a distant memory as they comfortably dealt with a team that featured in last year’s finals series. Both teams played a similar style of footy, but it was Manningham who looked the better drilled of the two sides, creating more scoring opportunities and finding themselves better placed to execute than their opposition. The green and gold will take some heart from the fact that the distance on the scoreboard did not reflect the distance between the ability of the two sides. Fitness was a perhaps telling factor in this encounter as North Brunswick conscribed a few of its reserves roster for the senior match. Both teams face good tests this week as Manningham take on Westbourne Grammarians and North Brunswick tackle Chadstone at The Tip. HAWTHORN (18.19-127) DEFEATED BOX HILL NORTH (8.4-52) After a meltdown in last year’s finals series, the DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 3 / 60%) North Brunswick v Chadstone Box Hill North v Canterbury Dragons v Hawthorn Manningham Cobras v Westbourne Grammarians West Brunswick v Point Cook

competition favourites, Hawthorn, came out with a point to prove against Box Hill North. The day started well with the reserves registering an 88 point win. The seniors set about emulating the form of their understudies, but found themselves caught in a contest at the main break with Box Hill North holding leads at both quarter time and the main interval. The Hawks came out of the sheds with renewed vigour in the second half, booting six unanswered goals in the third term and a further seven in the final stanza. The 2013 O.J. Meehan Medallist, David Tremewen, spearheaded the second half assault with seven goals for the game.

POINT COOK (14.16-100) DEFEATED DRAGONS (9.11-65) Point Cook never looked threatened by a Dragons side who were only slightly off the pace in the season opener. The Dogs led at every change thanks to four goals from Matthew Herbertson

DIVISION 4

Round 2 gets underway today with plenty of teams keen to keep their momentum building and others hungry to rectify the events of last week.

and a handy three goal contribution from Peter Donoghue. Mohammad Babar did his best to inspire his team with three goals for the match, but his fellow Dragons were wayward in front of goal. The statistic of thirty shots to twenty gives a fair insight to the difference between two sides. Point Cook would have been happy to win in a canter but they dace a different prospect next week. In fact both teams face the form sides of Division 4 and will have to up their respective games if they are to challenge the early ladder leaders.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012 RISING STAR - DEAN ROTENBERG AJAX Dean doesn’t just overcome hurdles, he runs straight through them. At the young age of 18, Dean continues to demonstrate to his team mates the resilience and determination that he excels with. Overcoming two knee reconstructions to cement his spot back on the senior list. Dean managed only two games last year due to injury, and has since endured a demanding pre-season, hardly missing a session since November. Dean is renowned as a diligent trainer at the club, leading by example week in, week out. This prolific fortitude earned Dean a senior selection for round 1. Upon selection, eager to rectify the talent that lays within, Dean oozed class, booting four goals in AJAX’s comfortable victory alongside a best on ground performance. Dean has excelled through the AJAX Junior Football Club, playing over 60 games including four representative matches with SMJFL in the AFL Vic Metro Championships. Dean is now working in Security, and in his off time between trainings, enjoys time with family and friends who he shares a close bond with.

* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing his first full season of senior football.

VAFA ELASTOPLAST Football Club would like to thank TRAINER OF THEKew WEEK our sponsors for their continuing in 2014 CAROLINEsupport HYMAN – SWINBURNE UNI

Caroline Hyman has served as an enthusiastic and reliable member of the Swinburne Uni AFC committee for the last 4 seasons. Caz received our “Best Club Person” award for the 2011 season and is always diligent with whatever duties are asked of her. Finding reliable trainers has been an issue for our club in the past, so as she so often does, Caroline put her hand up. After being qualified only a month or so ago, Caz has shown initiative in ensuring that out medical supplies and equipment are up to standard ensuring player health and safety. On the weekend, Caz truly showed that we had a genuine star on our hands in her first game as trainer, not only doing a tremendous job in looking after our club’s players, but also helping out an undermanned opposition medical outfit and insuring proper treatment of a pretty seriously injured opposition player. All at Swinburne congratulate Caroline on her nomination. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

BEST: 5 YEARS AGO – 2009 Old Melburnians went to the top of the B Section ladder after disposing of Old Trinity by 17 points. In a stunning opening quarter, the OM’s slammed on 11.5 to 2.0 and Trinity never looked like getting back into the game. Although OM’s only kicked a further 5.4 for the match the final score in their favour was 16.9 to 12.16. Best: Freezer, Seccull (5), J Beaumont, Davis, Harvey, Greene (OM) and Osborn, Pacconi, Ramsden, Gibson, Stockdale, Krakouer (OT). The ‘For The Love Of The Game’ column detailed the awarding of Life Membership to a great VAFA personality, Peter Rhoden. At the time “Porky” was Old Xaverians longest serving coach and had been a Certificate of Merit winner in 2000. Peter also coached the Victorian Carnival team in 1964 and 1965 and was again State Coach in 72–74. Over a forty-five year period, Peter had made an outstanding contribution to the VAFA on and off the field.

10 YEARS AGO – 2004 Collegians remained undefeated in B Section after defeating Beaumaris 12.8 to 8.8 in an entertaining game. Collegians jumped out of the blocks with 7.3 to 1.0 and Beauy never got back into the match although they narrowed the gap significantly. Best: Holst, Phillip, Hosking, Blumfield, Mooney, Unsworth (Coll) and Teasdale, Berry, Coote, Boon, Healy, Pitts (B). Brett Dintinosante played his 150th game for Old Paradians having joined OP’s in 2001 beginning with the U19’s. Eddie Mitchell also recorded his 150th and the gutsy, running left footer had served St Leos Emmaus well over the journey.

20 YEARS AGO – 1994 Mazenod were trailing Old Trinity at half time in B Section but gave a polished display in the second half to run out winners 21.21 to 14.8. Best: Hunt, Buck (5), Green, Murray, McLean, Marshall (M) and Sutcliffe, Hudson, Rogers, Taylor, Norman, Edmunds (OT).

30 YEARS AGO – 1984 West Brunswick recorded their first win with narrow win over Fawkner, 12.13 to 12.11 in C Section. Best: Buckley, Cecchi, Fyffe (WB) and Mitchell, Cropley, Hills (F). Michael Ritterman played his 200th game for AJAX and was one of the most highly decorated players in the VAFA. Among other achievements was the fact that Michael won the VAFA B&F in every section from E to B in a five-year period. 40 YEARS AGO – 1974 In a great game between Monash Blues and Ivanhoe, it was the Blues who came out on top, 13.16 to 12.10 and consequently headed the B Section ladder with their two straight wins. Ivanhoe trailed all day but kept within striking distance. Best: Griffiths (6), Sweetland, Ross, Halliday, Hargreaves, Booth (MB) and Hughes (8), Quinlivan, R Stewart, Ireland, Van, Rojo (I). Ormond great, Bruce Bourne played his 150th in the distinctive brown and blue Ormond colours. No matter what position on the ground, ‘Bourney’ was an outstanding player. He was also honoured with the captaincy of the State team and was an All-Australian amateur.

50 YEARS AGO – 1964 In C Section Brunswick scored a convincing win against newly promoted Old Haileyburians by using their clever handball game to advantage, final score 18.10 to 7.5 with ‘Bubbles’ Ball kicking 7 goals for Brunswick. Stokes and T Benns were other key players in the win. Cole, P McFarlane and Henderson were Haileybury’s best. It was a thriller between Glenhuntly and ANZ in D Section with Glenhuntly holding off a fast finishing ANZ, 9.17 to 9.14. Best: Williamson, Burman, Rees (Glenhuntly) and Bloom, Morrow, Mitchell (ANZ). AJAX belatedly entered a team into the Junior Section and evened up the section, which previously had a bye.

AJAX Utility player, Adam Michmacher, played his 100th game and Robbie Purcell played his 200th for St Bernards. Rob’s career included four premierships. 42

U19 Premier with John Donohoe

The under 19 season went off with a bang on Saturday with some mixed results and two of last years big teams going down by big margins. Wayward kicking cost St Bedes/Mentone Tigers against Beaumaris. The Sharks showed the rest of the competition that they could be a force to be reckoned with in 2014. St Bernard’s took on an Old Melburnians side looking to make amends for a poor 2013 campaign. St Bernards trailed at the first break but found their form in the second kicking 8.3 to 0.2 and controlled the match from there for a big win. James Riley and Edyn Sibbald

@jdonohoe12

kicked 3 majors for the Snowdogs while Ryan Haward & Billy Alvin were OM’s best. Old Xaverians got their campaign started with a hard fought 10 point win over Old Scotch. Todd Vander Haar also showed a lot of class up forward in the win and despite a Cardinals comeback last year’s runners up held on. De La Salle took on SKOB at their home, Waverley Park, but it was the visitors who won decisively. Lewin (5) and Canterbury (4) were both instrumental for the hoops. With only 8 teams in the competition this season it could be a tight ladder throughout the year and we may even see one of the heavyweights anchored to the bottom at times.

Harry sneak home by 3 points against Parkdale Vultures. Witts was amongst Caulfield’s better players while Brighton’s Raury Bolger helped his side over the kicking 2 goals of his own.

U19 Section 3 with Tom Connolly @tomconnolly15

With a lot of the teams playing each other for the ﬁrst time, there was a lot of uncertainty and doubt going into these round one games. Williamstown CYMS started off the year with a bang with a convincing win over last year’s pace setters the Northern Blues. The Old Xaverians were also strong, producing a 10goal victory over St Mary’s Salesian. It was a hard fought come back from Old Camberwell that got them over the line in their match against Therry Penola. The Wells kicked 10 goals in the second 44

half after just 2 in the ﬁrst half against to win by 10 points. It was an amazing performance by Xavier Burns from Marcellin who kicked seven of his teams eight goals, alas it wasn’t enough to get them over the line against Old Carey who won by a convincing 37 points. Old Ivanhoe were just too strong for the AJAX, winning comfortably by 34 points at home. As the excitement of round 1 is now over, all of the teams will be looking forward to getting on with the year ahead and focusing on making ﬁnals. If round 1 is anything to go by, then I cannot wait for what is to come inthe rest of the year. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

RAMBO CALLS IT A DAY As Old Trinity take the field today in their first match of the year on the delightful Daley Oval on the Marles Playing Fields of Trinity Grammar, there will be something missing. Andrew ‘Rambo’ Ramsden will not be available for selection for the first time since the AFL Grand Final entertainment included a bat mobile and Angry Anderson. Debate still rages whether Angry Anderson or Meatloaf are the most iconic entertainment failures in AFL Grand Final history but that off the point. Without doubt Rambo has been one of the best and most decorated Amateur Footballers to have played the game. It is not just the longevity either. Many amateur footballers have played more matches and many have done so in the top sections, but few have played at such a high level and still been one of the key players in determining the fortunes of their side. From 1996-2007 Ramsden finished in the club’s top two of their Best and Fairest count in every single season (except for 1997 when he spent a year at Essendon’s Reserves). In all he claimed five senior Best and Fairest Awards. Since moving to a permanent forward he led the club’s goal kicking from 2008-2013. 48

Ramsden confirmed to the senior coach Adam Andrews and the Old Trinity football department he would not be suiting up for 23rd season in the green and gold just a few weeks ago. Ramsden has pulled on that jumper 348 times for the club and is the games record holder. Only 15 of those games were in the reserves. Ramsden is still struggling with the idea of his retirement but said “I was starting to feel it a bit more, it was getting harder and harder to come up each week and with the club is back in Premier, that is always where I wanted to finish up.” THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

Ramsden is a three-time premiership player at the club, playing in the 1994, 1996 and 1999 Old Trinity B Grade premierships. Of the many career highlights he has had, Ramsden was able to pinpoint them pretty easily. “No doubt they have been the B Grade Premierships, I managed to play in three of those. Also representing the VAFA was an absolute highlight. The chance to wear the Big V jumper and play with the best players was something I will cherish. I loved playing for the Big V” His Big V Rep Coach and the man who made him the senior VAFA captain from 2002-2005 Nick Bourke said of Ramsden: “I first saw him play in a practice match against Old Xaverians in 1995. He whacked a bloke and got sent off. I knew straight away he was a bit different. But in no way did I think that nearly 20 years later he would still be running around causing opposition so much angst.”

such a good player for another decade after that, he guaranteed to be first name down in the next 50 year team” said Jervis. Jervis has probably watched Ramsden in more of his games than anyone else and when quizzed on Rambo’s best showing in the green and gold, he immediately referenced Old Trinity’s first ever final in A Grade in 2004. “It was the first semi final on a Sunday at Trevor Barker Oval and the opponent was Marcellin, a team we had had great difficulty beating in recent times. Being our first ever A Grade final and the enormity of the occasion, Andrew’s performance that day was sensational.” (Ramsden kicked three goals and was named best in the big upset win.)

“He has been an ornament to the VAFA in representative football, hardly ever turning a bad game. His ability to avoid serious injury and his underrated goal kicking accuracy have been just two of his strengths, he is a great Amateur man.” Ramsden was also Vice Captain of the senior representative side in 2000 and 2001. In total Rambo played 13 times for the Big V from 19982005 and was named in the AAFC (Australian Amateur Football Council) Team Of The Year from 2002-2004, in 2004 he was named AllAustralian Captain. Old Trinity historian and ex club committeeman Ian Jervis said Rambo was one of the few automatics when Old Trinity selected their ‘50 year team’ of 1954-2003. “Given that Rambo was THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

RAMBO CALLS IT A DAY However Jervis was quick to point out another trait of Ramsden that everyone at Old Trinity would be all too aware of. “He is the only payer in my lifetime that I have seen at any level of football that in the space of one minute, could infuriate then delight in equal measure.” The umpires were fond of Ramsden too. He is a two-time section Best and Fairest winner. Rambo won the 2005 Woodrow Medal in A Grade and six years prior to that he won the Moore Medal in a premiership year in B Grade. Jervis again: “Probably 2005 was the better year because it was in A Grade, but he was extraordinary in both years.” Those individual honours were won when he was predominantly a ruckman who sometimes went forward but as the legs and body became weary Rambo moved to become a permanent forward who sometimes dabbled in the ruck. “I played my best football as a ruckman and when I was on the ball I really enjoyed going forward to kick a goal. However, playing forward was like a career change and it certainly allowed me to keep playing. Some days you could have a frustrating day forward but if I was playing in the 50

ruck, even if you were being beaten you never felt like you had had such a bad day.” Ramsden was made a Life Member of Old Trinity in 2003 when he reached his 200 game milestone for the club. “He is wonderfully humble and very durable for a bloke his size” said Jervis. “However he regualarly played with injuries – his hand injury in particular was quite brutal – but I doubt even people at old Trinity would even have known about them, probably because he never complained.” THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

U19 – SOUTH

Rambo said his toughest opponent was another VAFA rucking legend, the Old Xaverians champion Michael Blood. The best player Rambo has played with at Old Trinity was their current skipper and the reigning Moore Medallist, Brendan Iezzi. We will leave the final word to the man himself.

“I have loved every minute of playing in the VAFA and playing for Old Trinity, playing on Daley Oval certainly made it easier to keep playing year on year.” On what the future holds Rambo is unsure. “That’s a good question. I don’t have too many plans for Saturday afternoons now. I will help out with a bit of Ruck and goal kicking coaching at training and I will make sure I get invited to as many lunches as possible. There is no doubt everyone at Old Trinity, the opposition clubs Rambo battled against and the VAFA selectors who picked in those 13 matches for the Big sends their best wishes to you on a great amateur career.

“LET ‘EM PLAY FOOTY” Round one. At no other time outside finals is the classic umpires’ mantra “let ‘em play footy” as pivotal. Regardless of the grade, players tend to go in hard and tackle harder, desperate to start the season on the right note. During the week, our coaching sessions emphasised the importance of holding the whistle, protecting the ball player and keeping our eyes on players after disposal. It’s a good thing too, because it was a hot opening round of competition. The excitement among the umpiring group was palpable, with attendance at training noticeably larger than in recent weeks. For the record, we shamelessly love the new paperwork submission system. I (Kit) was at E.E. Gunn Reserve for newly promoted Ormond’s home opener against Marcellin in Premier C. The Eagles got home comfortably, but the footy was quick and hotly contested from start to finish. When was the moment I knew footy was well and truly back? It was two-and-a-half minutes into the first quarter, when I paid a free against a ruckman who used a volleyball-style spike to slam the ball deliberately out of bounds. Footy’s back. Don’t you just love it?

OVER EXPOSURE We welcomed co-scribe Kit Harvey to this page last week and it was a great debut. He was asked to provide a headshot for the top of the page, so he provided us with a “glamour” shot you see above. Little did we know that there would be two other photos of Kit on that double page, an action shot and as part of the representative team. OK Kitster, you’ve make your mark. – Macca. 52

MILESTONE We mentioned last week that veteran goal umpire Bob Seymour was notching up his 500th VAFA game. Our error, and apologies to Bob that it was actually game 550. He had a great day with his crew out at Therry and would like thank all involved especially Therry Penola and Old Geelong and old goal-umpiring mate “BallTearer”.

ROAD TRIP With the VAFA clubs being spread far and wide across Melbourne most clubs have to endure some pretty long road trips during the year. A couple that spring to mind are PEGS heading to Peninisula Old Boys and of course South Mornington heading out to Latrobe University. In a “one-off ” last weekend North Old Boys/ St. Pats hosted Prahran/Assumption at the college in Ballarat. Of course we had to supply umpires willing the make the trip. We thank field umpires Andrew Hartnett (from the foot of the Dandenongs) and Owen Hinson (as a pilot he travels further to work everyday) and of course the goalies Ron Martyn and John Cahir. No truth in the rumour that Ron and John stayed for a weekend in Daylesford. But back to the footy, a great day was had by all with the home side being victors against their traditional country rivals.

TIME FOR A BREAK After a very long pre-season a string of practice matches, and a frenzied start to the real stuff, we need a rest. Enjoy the Easter break and we’ll see you when we resume hostilities in a fortnight. THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

MIXED BAG As the cobwebs were dusted off and the first ball was bounced for season 2014, it saw a variety of all sorts. Only two of the three matches were played with South Melbourne Districts having to unfortunately forfeit against Mazenod. They will have to await their opportunity today to make their mark within this section. It was a tight contest out in the west as Point Cook and Williamstown did battle. The windy Saltwater Reserve caused both teams to display inaccurate kicking throughout the day, with barely a third of shots at goal splitting the middle. The CY’s were able to come away with a four point win away from home. Jake Slee and Andrew Robinson were the only multiple goal kickers for both sides, with Oliver Becroft and Blake Boyce judged best afield for both teams. After a disappointing 2013, UHS – VU kicked off their season successfully with a handy 17 point win over St Bernards who just missed out on a finals spot in 2013. The Uni Boys led all match, with Nick Munari leading the way with three majors for the victors. The Snowdogs struggled to kick goals with inaccurate goal kicking (7.10)

and it cost them dearly. Josh Turville and Chris Tormey played major roles for the Snowdogs despite the defeat. With round 1 completed, the focus is now on round two which will no doubt bring another variety of all sorts U18 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 2 / 66%) Williamstown CYMS v Mazenod Point Cook v UHS VU St Bernards v South Melbourne Districts

CLUB XVIII

Norm Nugent

DANCING IN THE SUN Summer weather lingered to provide excellent conditions for football. However those players whose preseason efforts were lacking, tired and allowed their opponents to contribute to the fitter teams’ positive results. The closest result was the three point win by Kew, whereas there were several one sided results, which hopefully will not prove the norm over the remaining 14 rounds. SECTION 1 Mt Lilydale continued their Club XVIII run of success when they outplayed Masala, who despite the efforts of the consistent Ben Nugent, finished 43 points in arrears. Hawthorn celebrated their promotion to Section 1 with a 132 point win over Old Geelong on Como Park. The big ground held no fears for Hawthorn for whom Ari Mitropoulos kicked 10 goals. He was well supported by A. Demetriou (Anthony not Andrew). Regular finalists, Prahran/ Assumption gave a lack lustre display against their nemesis Old Xaverians who won the one sided match by 132 points. James McDonnell, who kicked 8 goals was named as the Crocodiles’ best. The Two Blues were well served by their veterans; Luke Farrell and Craig Berger. SECTION 2 Out east, Emmaus/ St Leo’s defeated the promoted Eley Park by 61 points. After an even first quarter Emmaus /St Leo’s assumed control of the contest in which Mark Petryk, with 5 goals continued his fine form. Richmond Central recorded a comfortable four goal victory over Williamstown CYMS. Peter Iser, who played well for Richmond Central, has returned to playing after a stint as the Club umpire. Therry Penola, who led throughout the game, recorded a victory over Bulleen Templestowe by 16 points. 58

SECTION 3 La Trobe University who have returned to the competition, trounced last season’s finalist University High School Old Boys by 139 points in an impressive display of teamwork as instanced by 14 players sharing 22 goals. The Dragons, who led Kew by 22 points at half time, ran out of fitness in the second half when they had only three scoring shots. Kew, on the other hand came home strongly and wrested the lead for the first time late in the game. Their three point victory was the closest result of the round. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s, celebrated their return to Club XVIII with a 56 point win over the debutants, Melbourne High School Old Boys. Interestingly MHSOB’s playing side included several players from Sweden. Best for the victors were: Jarrod Poynter, Anthony Brennan and Todd Macleod (6 goals). For the “Unicorns”, Tom Fraczek and Albert Kuang stood out.

PREVIEW OF ROUND 2 SECTION 1 Old Geelong face the long trip east to meet Mt Lilydale who possess a marked home ground advantage. Based on Round 1 form, Mt Lilydale should win well again. Prahran/ Assumption face a daunting task to defeat Hawthorn whose confidence in their ability to cope in Section 1 is now sky high. I am in no doubt Hawthorn will win this match. Newcomers, Masala will be able to gauge the standard required for success when they meet reigning premiers, Old Xaverians. For the sake of the competition, I hope Masala can at least curtail the Xaverian juggernaut.

SECTION 2 Therry Penola, who are always hard to beat on the Fawkner Reserve, meet Emmaus/ St Leo’s who possess a number of good players but who have shown a lack of match fitness. Talent may well triumph but I am selecting Therry Penola to win this game. Williamstown CYMS travel to meet Eley Park Sharks. The “C.Y.s” may take time to settle in the strange environment, but I select them to finish ahead of the “Sharks”. Richmond Central host Bulleen/ Templestowe in a game that should tell us how much the “Bullants” have improved. I select Richmond Central. SECTION 2 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 2 / 66%) Therry Penola v Emmaus St Leos Williamstown CYMS v Eley Park Richmond Central v Bulleen Templestowe

SECTION 3 All three games in this Section are scheduled for the early morning. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s travel to Dragons, whose match fitness seemed suspect on the small Victoria Park last Saturday. Based on Round 1 performances, North Old Boy’s/ St Patrick’s should win this game convincingly. For the first time in decades, the once powerful Melbourne High School and University High School Old Boys meet at Forest Hill. In times past these Clubs were regular opponents in Premier Division. University High School disappointed last week but the newcomers Melbourne High did not impress either. At home, I favour Melbourne High to win. Two round 1 winners Kew and La Trobe University meet on Victoria Park Kew started slowly last week while the Trobers won easily. The small ground will suit Kew, but I believe that La Trobe can win.
