GREAT TO BE BACK A glorious start to the 2015 season as all 240 teams enjoyed magnificent autumn weather in Melbourne. In my opinion April is second only to September as the best month to play football.

As I went around to watch games on Saturday and in the feedback I have received since, overwhelmingly, the positive talk was that our grounds were in magnificent condition. I first went to Turner Reserve in Noble Park where Masala played and won their first senior match in Division 4. The Greater Dandenong Council has provided this club with the sole rights of this oval with new goal posts and a lush playing surface. From there I went to De La Salle’s Waverley Park and the oval there was in as good a condition as I have seen.

Reports from Toorak Park stated that the MCG couldn’t have provided a better surface. We have received similar reports from other council grounds including Hampton Rovers, Point Cook and Beaumaris. Of course this is not limited to councils with the VAFA playing matches on some of the finest school facilities including Trinity, Whitefriars and Marcellin.

We are currently experiencing some short term pain at a number of ovals as they undergo renovations. These include Parkdale Vultures, Old Brighton, Oakleigh and St Bernard’s. I am sure the wait will be worthwhile when we return to these ovals. Add to these the new facilities last year at Melbourne University and St Kevin’s and we do have some of the finest grounds in Melbourne.

Building strong relationship with our councils, schools and universities are one of the key responsibilities of a club’s committee.

As mentioned previously I visited Masala’s first game in Division 4 and it was with great excitement

@vafaceo that they won their first match. Their secretary highlighted the major differences to a Club XVIII match and even the fact that the reserves players could clap the seniors onto the ground. There are so many things that are taken for granted. Parkside, the other newcomer returning after 12 seasons in the Northern FL, put up a sterling performance before going down to last year’s preliminary finalists, Canterbury, by a solitary point. We look forward to following their journey this season.

What’s the biggest gap in the sections? Maybe this year the jump from Division 1 to Premier C. Promoted teams, Therry and Williamstown had big losses that totalled a combined 177 points. Added to this the two relegated Premier B teams, Old Ivanhoe and Old Haileybury who both spent long periods in Premier recently, registered strong wins.

The rise and fall of teams seem to gather in Premier C in what many expert amateur observers regard as the most competitive section in the VAFA. Andrew Leonard’s own version of Footy Classified titled VAFA Tragics commenced on VAFATV. The weekly program looks back at the key matches from the previous week and highlights some of the controversial aspects of the competition. The three other Tragics are former VAFA communications manager Michaels Fitzgerald, former De La Salle President Marty Kelliher and Fairfax journalist Ewen McRae. I am looking forward to their weekly take on events.

We are delighted to announce William Buck as the naming rights sponsor of our Premier Section.

This is the first occasion that the Board has allowed naming rights for a senior section. They are the new ball sponsor for the section and will also sponsor the VAFA Grand Final lunch held at the Hyatt on Friday September 19. William Buck is a leading firm of Chartered Accountants and advisors with offices across Australia and New Zealand. They have a close association with a number of VAFA clubs and want to broaden their relationship to the competition as a whole.

WILLIAM BUCK PREMIER

MISTAKES AND BEING WRONG Nothing announces you were wrong like only managing to select one measly winner from the weekend. Pre-season speculations was cast aside in a hurry with only University Blues saving my credibility. Not that the other results were that surprising, it’s just you have to pick a winner each week and I failed miserably. The result of the round was no doubt the Cardinals’ triumph over reigning premiers Blacks. Despite the fact that Old Scotch were one of a handful of sides to defeat Blacks last year, all signs still pointed to a win for the home side. Old Trinity’s win shouldn’t have been a surprise considering the outcome of the corresponding game last year. The similarities to round 1 in 2014 were everywhere as Old Trinity mowed down St Bernard’s when the Snowdogs should have iced the game. Beaumaris failed to win in Round 1 for the first time in William Buck Premier, but the Sharks didn’t lose either. At least the draw monkey is off our back.

Beaumaris have made a habit of having fast starts in Round 1 since they joined the top flight in 2013, however Old Carey who are back in the section for the second time in their history were keen to dig their heels in and not be blown away in the first week. So an arm-wrestle ensued for the four quarters with neither side able to extend their advantage beyond a couple of goals all day. Just as one side looked to have the edge a couple of quick goals to the opposition had the game back on an equilibrium. The draw was probably the right result, although both sides will feel like they had chances in the dying stages of the game to win. James Gaff was the standout for Old Carey on his wing, whilst Beaumaris were best served by Raph Clarke, who without the coaching burden, was in everything. It was an enthralling last quarter of football, if you are a fan of high stakes never say die footy then you could do worse than watch the final quarter on VAFA TV. Old Scotch as already mentioned were the surprise packet of the round, but when you apply pressure in the manner in which they did, it makes it hard to execute skills regardless of how good an opposition you are – just ask Hawthorn 2

who suffered the same fate to Essendon in the AFL. The Cardinals were at their breathtaking best as they amassed 7.5 in the opening 30 minutes.

Jonothan Daggian debuted last year under lights in Old Scotch’s ill-fated Round 18 showing against Collegians. That night the youngster showed some real promise in the second half. Fast forward six months and another pre-season of hard training was put on display as the youngster booted four goals. Blacks welcomed back 2012 Moore Medallist Charlie Richardson from his time up North and midfielder split the middle three times and was best for the Students. At half time the game looked done, but Blacks responded in the third, alas the final term was a free scoring affair and Old Scotch were able to secure a vital first up win for Mark Passador.

Old Xaverians must have been drinking from the same summer fountain as Old Scotch, as they too opened their season with a fine first quarter blitz of Collegians on the bowling green that is Toorak Park. A 28 point quarter time lead was whittled down to one point at half time though as the Lions roared back into the contest. Fergus Watts back in a purple jumper chimed in with one goal and last year’s goalkicking winner Shura Taft two, but the Collegians forward line was largely impotent compared to the firepower of Xavs. Eleven goals to three in the second half sealed the win for Xavs and co-coaches Hawkins and Woodruf would be delighted with the goals being shared amongst eleven players in red and black. Handley kicked an almost customary four, but he had plenty of mates in a good win.

University Blues travelled to the Dairy Bell quietly confident, but were cautious of the pre-season hype surrounding the return of many of De La Salle’s best over the summer. So the cautious nature of the PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD Old Scotch v De La Salle Old Xaverians v St Bernards Old Carey v University Blacks University Blues v Beaumaris Collegians v Old Trinity

game showed as both teams foxed each other out in the opening exchanges. Blues did this through much of their dominant 2014 season in Premier B, before opening the floodgates in the second half.

Whilst the figurative gates were not exactly holding back a flood, Blues did kick clear in the third term to assert control of the game, and in no time had extended the margin beyond reach early in the last.

De La’s prized recruit Xavier Murphy kicked a couple of late consolation goals and ended the day with four. George Curnow had three of his own for Blues, whilst it was a welcome return for Ross Young. Matt Moore’s report and subsequent suspension this week was a sour note for De La, but more so was the lack of effort in the second half.

Old Trinity and St Bernard’s (and for that matter many of the previous game) contained an awful lot of turnovers as both sides adjusted to the

required intensity of a match for premiership points. St Bernard’s by rights, should have stitched up this game at the start of the last quarter. A Jesse Manunzio miss from directly in front would have put the Bernies 33 points clear. Then all of a sudden the game changed. Old Trinity started hitting targets and playing with carefree abandon and confidence that had them in the four for much of last year. Jack Hunt kicked to inspiring goals on the run – one on the left and one on the right – to ignite a comeback that in so many way mirrored the 2014 result here. Woodrow Medallist Brendan Iezzie had been held for three quarters by Sam Fleming, but he along with teammate Harry Tinney started to win the ball from stoppages with regularity. Adam Bentick had been awesome and Chad Jones a handful, but Jones did kick 1.4 for the day and St Bernard’s missed more than they should have. The one that got away.

PREMIER B

MAKING A STATEMENT IN RD 1?

The 2015 Premier B season started with a bang down at Brindisi St in the match-of-the-round clash between newly-relegated St Bedes Mentone and perennial B section performers St Kevins.

The Tigers were looking to get off to a flying start after seven years in Premier, while St Kevins will be looking to take the next step this season after losing to Old Carey in the Preliminary Final in 2014.

In an enthralling contest in which the margin never got beyond four goals, St Kevins came out on top thanks to a long goal by Steven Salopek in front of the St Bedes faithful late in the game. The visitors held on to win by four points.

The match started in fiery fashion, with players brushing off the cobwebs and clearly eager to stamp their mark on the game. A push and shove in the first two minutes resulted in a free kick and easy goal to St Kevins, who dominated the first five minutes of the game. However St Bedes, kicking with the breeze, fought back to ensure that the first quarter honours were shared. A highlight included a huge early mark-of-the-year contender to Tiger Chris Richards. In contrast to the second quarter, the third was a high scoring, free-flowing affair. Defence seemingly went out the window as the two teams traded goals early on, before St Bedes broke the game open with five unanswered goals, despite St Kevins winning the ball around the ground the Tigers had a two point lead at the final change.

This set the scene for the final quarter which, for a neutral observer, was a captivating arm wrestle.

Both teams had their chances, but goals were hard to come by as the pressure and intensity gradually built up. The final ten minutes were manic as players started succumbing to cramps and the umpires seemingly put their whistles away, resulting in eruptions of anger on both sides of the fence. The Tigers managed to build a 10-point lead halfway through the quarter but gradually saw it whittled away, and they were eventually overtaken thanks to the long Salopek goal. The match was a credit to both teams, and they have set an excellent standard for Premier B in 2015.

Hampton Rovers enjoyed a dream start to their 4

@ DAChalmers81 promotion to Premier B. After unveiling their 2014 premiership flag before the match, they ran all over Mazenod and finished with a convincing 69-point victory at Boss James Reserve on Saturday. In perfect conditions for football, the Rovers dominated from quarter time onwards, although it was tight early on. The first goal of the game came from rover Adam McNeil after nine minutes and at quarter time the Rovers held a ten point lead. The floodgates opened in the second quarter and Hampton kicked nine goals to five with the wind. The Mazenod defence managed to stem the flow in the third, with Tom Warby and Steve Oldman working hard. While Mazenod didn’t play poorly, the Rovers were just too good on the day, and as the final siren sounded they had claimed a 69-point win. Nathan Smith (four goals) and Guy Martyn (five) led the way for the Rovers, while for Mazenod Dalton, Cowen and Welsford each kicked two goals and Nick Thomas and Ben Phibbs were both were amongst the best.

Old Brighton has wasted no time in sending the rest of Premier B section an ominous message, with a 77-point mauling of Fitzroy on their home turf to kick off the 2015 season. Back in Premier B after one season at the top level and under new coach Greg Hutchison, the Tonners kicked 5.7 against the wind in the first quarter to set up the victory. Tom Cheshire levelled the scores early on for Fitzroy and the Fitzroy defenders, including Max Ellis and Jack Parkinson battled manfully, but struggled to contain the constant forward thrusts from the Old Brighton midfield, notably Jon Perrett and Tom Mariani. Fitzroy coach Michael Pickering asked his defence to play tighter and show more niggle but unfortunately the second quarter was much of the same, with Old Brighton spearhead Dan Anthony kicking two goals and the superb Tonner defence led by Ben Austen and Nick Marston held the Lions scoreless. Old Brighton added five goals in the quarter to take a 57-point lead into the main break.

Old Brighton extended their lead to 72 points by three-quarter time, with a lone Sam Baker goal PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD St Bedes/Mentone v Hampton Rovers Mazenod v Old Brighton AJAX v Parkdale Caulfield v Old Melburnians St Kevins v Fitzroy

providing a rare highlight for the Fitzroy faithful.

There were brighter signs for Fitzroy in the final term, as they appeared to be more structured in general play and started getting the ball regularly inside their forward line. Late goals to Will Fenton and Dom Pound-Palmieri ensured there would be no three-figure margin at the end of the game. Old Brighton coach Greg Hutchison would have been impressed by his side’s pressure, quality of disposal and understanding of their team structures.

Over at Glenhuntly Oval, the lowest scoring match of the round was between Caulfield Grammarians and the Parkdale Vultures. Caulfield are contesting their third straight year of Premier B, while Parkdale finished runner-up in C section in 2014 to earn another promotion. While the match was evenly contested, ultimately it was accuracy in front of goal that proved the difference, with the Vultures kicking 1.6 in the first half to trail Caulfield by 19 points. Things improved marginally in the second half but they were still outscored, resulting in a 29 point victory to Caulfield. Keegan Stewart kicked three goals for Caulfield and was joined in the best

Old Melburnians hosted AJAX in a spiteful contest at the Junction Oval. Heading in to the first round, the Jackas were coming off one of the most intense pre-seasons in the club’s history, and new coach, Marty Pask, had developed a very positive atmosphere around the club. AJAX jumped the hosts in the first quarter, taking a 3.4 to 1.2 lead at quarter time despite injuries to Josh Kalmus and debutant ruckman Ryan Winston. Whatever Old Melburnians coach Nathan Brown said at quarter time worked, as they came out and kicked 5.6 while keeping AJAX to one goal, taking a 13 point lead into half time. Old Melburnians were never headed in the second half and only inaccuracy prevented the margin from being greater, running out 14.17 (101) to 8.10 (58). Old Melburnians boasted 11 goalkickers for the match, while for AJAX Jake Lew kicked three goals and Jason Ritterman and Ashley Kalb were standouts.

PREMIER C

WELCOME PARTY The step up in competition proved to be too demanding for the promoted Division 1 duo, Williamstown CYMS and Therry Penola in Round 1. The CY’s and the Lions were both handsomely defeated by experienced premier footballing sides and perhaps will take longer than first thought for these two to adapt. Marcellin delivered Williamstown a 124-point loss while Premier B demoted pair Old Haileyburians and Old Ivanhoe secured victories in their first games in a new section. Oakleigh and Peninsula OB dined out with big opening round wins away from home.

Williamstown’s first game at Fearon since the Premiership couldn’t have gone much worse.

The CY’s were within two-points of Marcellin at the first term break but their joy ended here. The Eagles displayed no remorse and lathered an insurmountable score giving Willy a welcome to remember. Jeremiah Antypas’ leapt to front the goal tally leaderboard, finishing with 12 goals for the Eagles. Daniel McMahon (6) and Jonathan Bortolotto (5) chipped in with bags of their own in the 124-point victory. Antypas was voted best on with his dozen goals.

Therry Penola received the same treatment as Williamstown did and copped a rare beating. Old Haileyburians outlined the difference in standard of football from Premier B to Division 1 kicking six unanswered goals in the first term and four more in the second on the back of a strong breeze. The Lions made use of the wind advantage with five goals to zip in the third including Jarrod Bannister kicking his fourth just before three quarter time.

Therry believed they had a chance but when Corey Bannister and Brock Egglestone both left the field due to injury, Haileybury steamrolled the visitors with seven goals in the final term. John Nicolopoulos ended with five goals for the Bloods, 6

Jimmy Paul winning best on honours.

Old Ivanhoe Grammarians controlled the opening game without any hiccups and sealed a comfortable victory over Monash Blues. The Hoes took charge early in the first, never letting the Blues shift momentum. Defensively Old Ivanhoe torched Monash - forcing clangers and making them pay at the other end. By halftime Monash totalled 12-points and Hoes’ 27-point buffer felt untouchable. The margin seeped each change until reaching 50 at the final siren. Bradley Thompson led Ivanhoe’s’ offense with four goals along with Alex Vella claiming B.O.G. Old Camberwell Grammarians held their own for the first half at home but were unable to withhold Oakleigh’s Krushing mentality. The Krushers sunk their teeth into Old Camberwell early drawing first blood and dominating early play but the home side fought back to pull the margin to 3-points.

Oakleigh did the same again in the second but again faded late in the term to keep the game within two kicks. After Halftime the Krushers fixed their first half mishaps and stormed past Old Camberwell to slot 14 goals to three in the second half. Aaron Cloke tallied six majors for the victors, Shane Borland earned Oakleigh’s best player with decisive possession and two goals.

Peninsula Old Boys did it easy against PEGS in Essendon winning by 77-points. The Pirates’ first term score mirrored PEGS’ final as the Pirates kicked five goals in the first with PEGS only scrapping PREMIER C — TIPS IN BOLD Old Ivanhoe v PEGS Old Camberwell v Williamstown CYMS Therry Penola OB v Oakleigh Marcelin OC v Monash Blues Peninsula OB v Old Haileyburians

the same in four quarters. Peninsula kept PEGS at bay and slowly ticked over the scoreboard in the second and third terms before cementing the victory in the last, kicking six more and keeping the opposition scoreless. Oscar Whitty was deservedly named best afield having won the game off his own boot with the game high six goals.

This week, Old Ivanhoe host PEGS, expect the Hoes to finish Round 2, 2-0 and defeat PEGS. Old Camberwell Grammarians play Williamstown CYMS, the CY’s will respond from last weeks thrashing and will do enough to get the four points against Camberwell. Therry Penola face Oakleigh

at home, the Krushers already look like the bullish team in Premier C, but Therry have yet to show the section their capabilities. Tipping Oakleigh to continue winning in forcible fashion. The Division’s frontrunner, Marcellin take on Monash Blues where the Eagles will again show their dominance. Old Haileyburians travel to Peninsula OB, both with momentum heading into Round 2, backing the Bloods to bring home the four points.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

PREMIERSHIPS BY SECTION As we mentioned last week, the new VAFA website details all the premierships by club and we observed that only three clubs have won a senior flag in at least five sections. They are: University Blacks, Caulfield Grammarians and Elsternwick. Blacks and the Fields are the only two to complete the feat in the top five sections.

With the Wicks having won flags in Premier and Premier B as well as Divisions 1, 2 and 4.

There are a further 15 clubs that have won senior premierships in at least four sections.

Below is the list of clubs with which sections or equivalent sections they won their flags in.

Question for next week: Who was the first club to win a senior premiership in each of the top four sections of the VAFA? 1 Hampton Rovers (Premier – Division 1) 2 Ivanhoe (Premier – Division 1) 3 Old Haileyburians (Premier – Division 1) 4 Old Xaverians (Premier – Division 1) 5 Ormond (Premier – Division 1) 6 St Bedes/Mentone Tigers (Premier – Division 1) 7 De La Salle (Premier – Premier C and Division 2) 8 Marcellin (Premier - Premier C and Division 3) 9 St Bernard’s (Premier – Premier B and Divisions 2 - 3) 10. AJAX (Premier B – Division 2) 11 Old Ivanhoe (Premier B – Division 2) 12 Kew (Premier B – C and Divisions 2 – 3) 13 Old Camberwell (Premier C – Division 3) 14 Power House (Premier C – Division 1 and Division 3-4) 15 Oakleigh (Divisions 1-4)

AMMO ODD SPOT Making a guest appearance at a Royal Command Concert in London may, or may not be high on one’s bucket list of things to achieve.

It certainly was on the radar of two VAFA players during the mid-sixties. Both played for MHSOB and while holding down promising careers they moonlighted as members of a folk singing quartet. They were Athol Guy and Bruce Woodley who gave away their football and jobs to pursue showbiz. They became the 10

Seekers. Following a string of chart toppers they appeared as a headline act at the 1966 Royal Command Performance. The following year,1967, Athol and Bruce made up half of the group who were awarded Australians of the Year. Stellar achievements for two regular players from MHSOB.

HIBBINS IN FOR LONG HAUL

[Hibbins (L) and Arnott (R) top right] Collegians senior coach Mark Hibbins. Hibbins has outlasted his co-coaches Simon Arnott (2009-2013) and Darren Baxter (2014) and every other senior coach at a VAFA club in terms of consecutive years spent at one club. Yes Mark Hibbins is the current longest serving coach of any single club in the VAFA. Sam Radford’s five seasons is next best at Parkdale Vultues. Hibbins has coached or co-coached 118 games at Collegians including last week and has a winning percentage of 69%. There are four Grand Final appearances in there too. Interestingly of the years Hibbins has been in charge, if Collegians make the finals, they also make the Grand Final.

VALE GRAHAM CONDRON

Amateur Football has lost a fine servant of the VAFA over the off season after a short but hard fought battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Graham Condron was a stalwart of the Clayton Amateur Football Cub and was one of the members of the club assisting them to gain entry in the VAFA in 1978. He played with the seniors and reserves and assisted the clubs under age team before retiring. An extremely solid ruckmen and defender he was both a gentleman on and off the ground who gained the respect of everyone he dealt with in both his football career, business and family. After concluding his on field and direct involvement at club level with his football career he remained involved with the VAFA and served continuously over many years on the Tribunal as a valued and respected member until his illness in 2014.

He started playing for the Clayton Meths in the ESCFA in 1967 when he was 18 years old and remained with the club playing with them when they joined the VAFA in 1978 until his retirement from “on the field”. He started as a ruckman because of his obvious physical size, but his pace eventually decided that his true position THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

was at full back. He often said that he was a bit worried by this positional change, as the only other move in that direction was “over the fence” as a spectator. Graham was a very hard but extremely fair player - often too fair for his own good, having opposition players lined up and then opting for a tackle rather than a shirtfront etc, which didn’t please some of his coaches. He was always very loyal to any sporting club he had involvement with and that was very obvious in the lifelong friendships he had made along the way from both football and his long cricket career. His family readily recall that “to spark a conversation with Dad, all you had to do was to mention a name of a player and he was ‘ off’ with the names of players at Clayton he would talk about in great detail.”

Graham was also a great supporter of the Junior teams as he would always offer to transport the players to the away games. He also served the club assisting with coaching and as treasurer for a number of years. The only time he was suspended was when he acted as a runner and ran onto the field to stop the fighting and got two weeks for “interfering” with a player. He was then destined to continue to serve and when he was asked to accept his nomination to the VAFA Tribunal he readily accepted. Graham loved his time on the tribunal and enjoyed sharing some of the funnier stories from his Tuesday nights. One that stands out is when an umpire went into the change rooms after the game to confirm a report and the player threw a full bin at him, that player received additional time for that. Graham was also involved with his sons football team at Heathmont and did that for 14 years and was well respected and much liked at that club as well.

He leaves a loving wife and family and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

MASALA’S DEBUT AT SENIOR LEVEL It was great to see the new VAFA senior clubs commencing in such great conditions on the weekend. Masala played and importantly won their first ever senior match against Chadstone in Division 4 (The first bounce of 2014 pictured below). Everyone at the club and indeed at the VAFA are delighted at the efforts of Dandenong Council in securing a permanent home ground for Tigers this year at WJ Turner Reserve in Noble Park. Masala now have a sole use of the ground after sharing a ground for the past two seasons when they were playing at Club XVIII level. It was also a welcome back to the VAFA for Parkside who returned to Division 4 at the famous (or should that be infamous) Pitcher Park. Unfortunately for the Red Devils they fell agonisingly short of Canterbury, going down by a point.

300 GAME RECOGNITION FOR NOBS GREATS VAFA CEO made the trip out to North Old Boys / St Patrick’s last Thursday for the club’s season launch and naming of their Round 1 teams in order to present 300 game club certificates to two legends of the club.

DIVISION 1

William Balme

A LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN Football creates compelling parallels on a Sunday morning. For some, a morning listening to the ABC, picking weeds out of the garden as they whistle their club’s tune to themselves with broad smiles whilst for others, it is a grim bowl of soggy Weet Bix and uncomfortable realisations. For Yarra Valley and Old Geelong, these realisations came in the form of the two promoted young sides, St Mary’s Salesian and Kew respectively. Having witnessed Yarra Valley first hand in a practice match last month, I was gobsmacked that they were not only beaten by the young St Mary’s boys, but also slaughtered.

Those Weet Bix might have been accompanied by a half-glazed stare into the abyss as they collectively pondered where on earth this Gary Purantatameri character came from.

The great Bruce Springsteen is fond of a mysterious figure named Mary, and it really comes as no surprise. It is a beautiful old name and the origins of it take us back to the birth of Christianity. Now, I’m not suggesting that Gary Purantatameri is a descendant of Jesus Christ, but his performance on Saturday has some of us wondering if he can turn water into wine, or in St Mary’s case, a promotion into a… well… another promotion. This is the sort of literary gold you are going to get if you continue reading this column; a reference to Bruce Springsteen transforming into an analysis on the curious similarity between a small forward and Jesus Christ. Enough jabbering on, there was so much quality football being played on the weekend in Division 1 that it will be a miracle if I can smoosh it all into this 900-word column.

The Match of the Round lived up to its billing as NOBS/St Pats survived a ferocious late charge from Prahran Assumption and held on to win by 6 points.

I think it is a safe assumption (pun unintended) to suggest that both these sides will figure heavily deep into spring. Both sides are hardworking, tough and strong and have quality players seeping through their systems. On three occasions NOBS/ St Pats looked to increase their lead to unassailable 18 points in the final term but on three occasions 16

@balmey21 Prahran crawled back, only to just fall short.

Reigning Best and Fairest Winner Adam Oakley was outstanding for NOBSPC as returning forward Chris Ford’s four goals proved decisive. For Prahran, it was Gerard Hogarth who kicked 6 goals as 10 of their 11 goals came from two sources. The Round 1 fatigue is inevitable but after a marathon 35 minute final quarter, it is safe to say that both sides earned their post-match dimmies.

In Doncaster, it was a stunning sequence of events that led to a 93 point win for St Mary’s Salesian over Yarra Valley. 15 goals to 6 was the second half narrative with goal kickers coming from every postcode across Australia for the victors. It appears that the match winner was Gary Purantatmeri, the Northern Territory compatriot, who kicked 9 goals. However, he certainly was not alone. Louis Holmes, the handsome devil, kicked 5 and Ananth Pathirana was tough in the clinches. They certainly know how to play a small ground well, the Saints. For Yarra Valley they were simply outplayed but Mark Letson kicked 4 and looked handy.

Mitch Brown popped in for a run around for Old Mentonians on Saturday and helped his feeder team to an 8-point win over Bulleen Templestowe. Although Old Mentone led all day, they were put through their paces in the last quarter as the fast finishing Bullants pressed hard to attempt to snatch the points. For the victors, Wiltshire and Mills proved difficult to stop as Mitch Brown put the cherry on the cake.

We’re talking the former Geelong Cat here, not the man who tragically did his knee last week. That would have been some comeback.

For Bulleen, they were not without their own winners as Kristian Cherbakof played out of his skin, supported ably by David Dakin. Hold the phone? David Dakin? Or what about Dave Dobbyn? Dave Dobbyn, the writer of classic 80s hit Slice of Heaven fame? Yes! Is this potentially the week 2 reference to mediocre 80s bands from the Trans-Tasman? Maybe.

Kew and Old Geelong battled out an intriguing contest at the Bear Cave on Saturday in another surprising result. Whilst Kew was challenged throughout and almost looked like being run over in the third quarter, they had enough quality to stem the flow and take out the four points. It was Tim ‘Torch’ Orchard who led the charge for the victors, illustrating his vintage small man courage and super skills. Callum Wood and Rupert Kemp were both dangerous up forward and around the ground for the OGGS but it wasn’t enough to keep Andrew Brazzale out of the contest, booting 3 and pleasing his legions of fans.

Whitefriars went into this game confident they could run over the top of the big-bodied and more experienced Ormond side. Unfortunately they simply couldn’t match it with Ormond for 4 quarters, as Ormond came out 41 point victors. Ormond unveiled their prized recruit Mal Michael who supposedly went about his business in his typical no-nonsense way. After his debut on Truck Hunting, it’s no wonder that

DIVISION 1

WILLIE BEE’S MATCH OF THE ROUND Yet again I am torn in two here but I’ll have to go with the new and the old down at Ferndale Park as St Mary’s take on NOBS/St Pats. This result will say a lot about how the competition is shaping up. St Mary’s win and the whole dynamic of the competition has shifted, NOBS win and they’re flag favourites.

St Mary’s in a boil over by 7 points.

DIVISION 2

RAIDERS AND TURLTES STAKE THEIR CLAIM Round 1 went mostly to plan, but there were a few standout performances and exceeded expectations. Old Paradians handed the Northern Blues and Division 2 reality check, as the Raiders celebrated David Boundy’s 200th in grand style, with a gruelling seven point win. The game was a four quarter arm wrestle with a six goal to four final quarter sealing a memorable win.

Northern Blues will lament leaving Garvey Oval without the four points and were well served by McRedmond who bagged five. For the Raiders, they will look to build on the momentum gained from such a win and take it into this week against Richmond Central. The Northern Blues however face a sterner test, as they head to Thomas Carroll Reserve and take on an inform St John’s side keen to go 2–0.

Old Eltham sent a message through Div 2 with their dismantling of a developing South Melbourne side by 80 points. The Turtles have seen some personnel changes over the summer but look to have the right mix to have a tilt at another finals birth. Eltham College looks to once again be a fortress and prove a tough ask for visiting sides. The Turtles beefed up forward line was there for all to see with Iaquinto booting six and Tranter five. With Sab Ciavolla retiring, Old Eltham needed to find alternative avenues to goal and look to have done so. South Melbourne Districts appointed ex-AFL President Gary March as senior coach and look to be in for a tough year. The Districts are a young side and March will endeavour to stamp his imprimatur during the early rounds and it doesn’t get any easier this week as the head to Ivanhoe Park.

Ivanhoe got their 2015 campaign off on the perfect note with a commanding 13 goal win over Richmond Central. The Hoes headed to Kevin Bartlett Reserve intent on sending a message to the rest of the Division…and they did just that.

Ivanhoe will be eyeing off a top four finish after narrowly missing out last year, and last week’s win 18

was a solid first step. Lovell was classy up forward with six, but it was their seven goal opening term which set-up the win. Ivanhoe will enter this week’s clash with South Melbourne as favourites and a win will solidify their improvement.

Richmond Central with be disappointed with last week’s showing but they were shown the level they’ll need to reach to consolidate their spot in Div 2. The Snakes will have a possibly sterner test this week as they face Old Paradians away who look to have ironed out their deficiencies of last year. The battle for Richmond Central will be curtailing Boundy and Bellizia up forward and James Kandalakis through the midfield.

The crowd at Cheltenham Recreational Reserve were treated to a high scoring affair, as Elsternwick handed Monash a ten goal drubbing.

After narrowly avoiding relegation in 2014, both sides will be looking at getting their graph trending north and last week’s win was a good start for the Wicks. Monash though will look to take that attacking style into this week’s clash against Melbourne High, with both sides keen on redemption after coming off Round 1 losses.

The Wicks’ new improved forward-line was on show for all to see with Hunter slotting 6, Grace 5, and Robertson and Fuller with 3. Elsternwick will be intent on showing their wares against Old Eltham this week, but the Turtles at home are a far different beast.

With a bevy of past players looking on, Melbourne High were keen to start 2015 on the right foot, unfortunately for them, St John’s had the same idea. The JOCs were simply too good across the board and prevailed by 45 points. After a DIVISION 2 — TIPS IN BOLD Monash Gryphons v MHSOB Old Eltham v Elsternwick Old Pardians v Richmond Central

frustrating 2014, and a summer filled with change, St John’s couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year. Melbourne High weren’t disgraced and will need to take the lessons learnt from the loss into what’s a winnable game against Monash this week. The JOCs won the midfield battle and were simply harder in the contest. They were cleaner around the stoppages and their forward pressure was good at times. Boom recruit Aaron Thornton starred with seven on debut and adds further class to an already handy forward line. St John’s this week host Northern Blues in the match of the round and will be intent on building on their claims as a legitimate top-four side. If they’re to intent on a finals birth then these are the games that they must win to solidify their spot. A point

DIVISION 3

SMELLS OF FOOTBALL After some fast and frenetic games, the smell of liniment and deep heat were in the air, some cramping and early injuries, footy is definitely BACK!! The sun was out and it was a glorious day for football. Enjoy it while it lasts . . . With the departure of St. Francis Xavier to “the clubbies” during the week, Division 3 saw just the 5 games played. Aquinas get another week of preparation before beginning their campaign this week against UHS-VUI. All the home teams were victorious in round 1 but, we will most certainly see that trend change this week.

Emmaus St Leo’s defeated Albert Park. To put it simply, Emmaus St Leo’s have told the competition that they are the team to beat in season 2015. Despite Albert Park recruiting heavily in the off-season, the Animals came out hard in both the 2nd (11 goals to 2) and 4th quarters (10 goals to 3) to have it all sewn up. Led by eight goals from a dominant Ryan Harding, three from Daniel Hill and another nine players got amongst the tally of 23. Albert Park tried hard all day and managed to stem the tide in the third quarter but, it was too little too late as the Animals ran away 105 point victors. Kirk Murray, Adrian Snowden, Ryan Want and company will need more support this week on the small ground at Rathmines Rd. UHS-VU defeated Power House. UHS-VU also chose to make a statement last week against Power House at Brens Oval. For Power House, they will have to go back to the drawing board as their game plan did not come together.

Power House had no answers for Ross Dickson (4 goals) and the eight other goal scorers. Joel Moden, Nick Devereux and Robert Churkovich, dictated the proceedings and are a force to be reckoned with. Ben Circosta and Adam Collett were best for Power House as the Vultures ran away to a 70 point win. Power House have some soul-searching to do but, it’s certainly not panic stations. Far from it.

Eley Park defeated La Trobe Uni. La Trobe Uni made the trek on to the M3 to match up against 20

www.vafatv.com

@gavsouthern Eley Park at Whitehorse reserve. Eley Park started out by being just that little bit harder at the contest and setting up a good, 3 goal qtr time lead. Christopher Marsiglio provided the spark in the mid-field, constantly creating opportunities. The Sharks took advantage of early forward entries with Noel Bahnsen and Old Camberwell recruit, Declan Mitchell, by getting on the scoreboard with multiple first half goals.

The Sharks had two injured at half time and it got worse. They had no rotations by the last as their bench was on ice. To La Trobe’s credit, they hit back and reduced the deficit to 2 pts before David Viola moved forward and kicked two last quarter goals to quash the comeback, ensuring the win by just 7 points West Brunswick defeated Hawthorn. The Division 4 Grand Final replay was billed as match of the round. Ransford Rd Oval is much bigger than what Hawthorn are used to and after a Magpie onslaught in the second quarter, like the Grand Final, the Hawks were playing catchup for the rest of the day. Hawthorn payed more attention to Premiership hero, Dylan Muscat, holding him to just the solitary goal but, Scott Hulm and recruit Bill Irving picked up the slack with 3 goals apiece for the Magpies. Hawthorn, led by Dean Monohan and Phil Avery, were valiant in defeat.

Swinburne Uni defeated Glen Eira. Glen Eira broke out early by snatching the first two goals of the game. Swinburne Uni responded strongly, finishing the quarter off with a 6 goal to 1 run. Glen Eira, through Nathan Dennis and Harvey Scholes kept trying to come back late in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but, the Razorbacks always had the answer and kept a 3 goal buffer for most of the day.

Jye Bunge finished with four goals, Ben O’Sullivan and Tom Kennedy snagging three each. Glen Eira will be disappointed with the loss as you could imagine, but there’s plenty to be positive about, including 21 year old Daniel Entwistle (4 goals).

DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD Eley Park v v West Brunswick Hawthorn v v Emmaus St Leos Glen Eira v v Albert Park La Trobe Uni v v Power House UHS-VU v v Aquinas

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to gavsouthern@me.com

PREVIEW Aquinas begin their 2015 season by heading off to Brens Oval to face UHS-VU. UHS-VU will need to slow the game down and pick a solid back 6 to ensure they continue their strong start. Aquinas are a high-scoring team and should have too many options to go through. I’m sure Emmaus St Leo’s will be watching the outcome of this game closely.

Both Power House and La Trobe Uni have recruited good numbers in the off-season. La Trobe Uni have improved from last season but, I believe they will fall just short. Power House need to forget about last week and soldier on.

I’m expecting Power House to bounce back with a 6-8 goal win.

Albert Park travel to Packer Reserve to face Glen Eira, which I believe is the match of the round. It’s a coin toss - it landed on tails = Glen Eira.

Hawthorn have a big task this week as they host

DIVISION 3

Coach Michael Polley and Eley Park have West Brunswick as visitors and this will also be an important game for both clubs. Eley Park won’t be able to compete if their players break down like last week. They will need all 22 players up and ready to go against a very tall and agile Magpie line-up. This is another 50/50 guess and I’m leaning towards West Brunswick. Sorry Trav.

Swinburne Uni get a week off with the bye and they will need it too, as they’ll have two weeks to prepare for Emmaus St Leo’s.

Emmaus St Leo’s. Hawthorn will need to make this as scrappy as possible and on their very small ground, it can be easy to do. Emmaus St Leo’s are the team to beat and will have no problems in counter-acting this.

DIVISION 4

Rich Hummerson

@Richie_Humm

CHAFING & CAN’T SHAKE CRICKET SEASON Over the course of a cricket season, you pick up a number of remedies for the dreaded chafe.

Some like medicated creams like 3B cream, while others tend to go down the more traditional path and grab for the talcum powder or Vaseline.

Well just when you thought it’d be safe to tuck the Vaseline away for another year, mother nature puts on an opening day that would have been more appropriate for 80-overs in the field than a four quarters of footy.

The completion of round one usually brings a sigh of relief for players, coaches and scribes alike. For players the completion of round one brings the end of monotonous preseason running, replaced with the far more enjoyable match simulation drills for goal kicking. For the coaches, the game plans devised over summer BBQ’s and camping trips get their first live run. And for the scribes, the offseason rumours that cause havoc on our predictions make way for cold hard statistics and legitimate playing lists.

Masala’s initiation into the major leagues went off without a hitch after they strolled home comfortable winners over the much improved Chadstone. Kicking against the breeze in the opening stanza, Masala opened their account early and led from start to finish. Samuel Freeman of Camberwell Grammarian fame booted three majors for the home side and was well supported by Jordan Toikalkin and Jaryd Coghill.

For Chadstone it was Ian Bingham, back from his lengthy spell on the sidelines who impressed and Caillin Austin who was awarded best afield.

Mount Lilydale’s return to Division 4 football didn’t have the same fairytale start as their fellow counterparts, falling victim to the well drilled Box Hill North. The benefits of Box Hill North’s regimented and brutal preseason was on show as they cruised home to the most comfortable of victories. While the sides traded blows in the 22

first quarter, the fight would become one-sided early into the second half. Rowan Lawrence had the ball on a string, his benefactor Daniel Penny, who managed an impressive seven goals due to Lawrence’s relentless attack on the ball further up the ground. Mount Lilydale were well supported

by David Brambilla and Adam Thorne.

Traditionally in Division 4 football, a side’s performance in round one is inversely related to the hype around their preseason. Fortunately for Point Cook and their loyal band of followers, they’ve bucked the trend. Not since Hawthorn in 2005 has a side been more highly rated before a ball has been bounced but as opposed to the Hawks, Point Cook actually delivered. Trailing the whole game, Point Cook arguably put together their greatest final quarter to date to pinch victory at the death. Julian Mandahl as phenomenal, particularly in the last while for Manningham it was reigning Meehan Medallist Tommy Bell who again impressed.

Parkside were agonisingly close from having the dream start to their reintroduction to the VAFA, falling to the highly touted Canterbury Cobras by the smallest of margins. Capitalising on Canterbury’s inaccuracies and their almost brand new starting lineup, Parkside put behind the terrors of season’s past and announced themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

Shane Potter up forward was in great touch from the outset and Shane Mclaren was allowed to roam around at will, gathering touches as he went. With 20 minutes to play and momentum in heavily in their favour, the fairytale looked a certainty. Unfortunately for the Devils, DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD North Brunswick v Box Hill North Canterbury v Masala Chadstone v Manningham Point Cook v Parkside Mt Lilydale v Westbourne Gr.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

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

Canterbury unleased their brand new recruit in Scott Fitzgerald with devastating consequences.

He booted five final quarter goals and helped Canterbury to the four points.

South Mornington’s inauguration was a baptism of fire, going down by 87 points to the highly fancied, North Brunswick. Unfortunately for the relegated Tigers, they were never in the contest, the bulls piling on goals at will. Ben Gallagher was in scintillating form in front of the big sticks, slotting a Michelle while his brother, Shaun, was best on.

will be trying to right the wrongs of last week’s capitulation with a hiding of Chadstone and Parkside should get the chocolates against Point Cook in the game of the round. Rounding out the week’s play I’m selecting Westbourne Grammarians to get up over Mount Lilydale, despite the longest trek in the VAFA.

This week I’m selecting North Brunswick to deliver a reality check to Box Hill North, while Canterbury should extend a warm welcome to Masala, they’ll stroll home comfortable victors. Manningham

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2015 JAMES GAFF – OLD CAREY This week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star is Old Carey’s wingman James Gaff. James has been at the club for three seasons but has already played an extensive amount of senior football as a bottomage 19 player in 2013, showing plenty of raw talent. In 2014 he was somewhat starved of senior opportunity, however managed a further 5 appearances in the Panther jumper, and ultimately was a significant player in getting his Under 19 side into the finals. With his junior career behind him, in the 2015 pre-season he has made every post a winner and when push came to shove was a lock for Round 1 selection. James’ work rate & performance across the vast expanses of Banksia Reserve on Saturday were crucial to the final result. James played VAFA U19 rep football in 2013 and benefited from a pre-season in the VFL in 2014. James has great balance and vision and is one the new generation coming through at the Panthers in 2015. James clearly has a good many years of senior footy ahead of him at the club and we wish him many more great games for the Panthers.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

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

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2010 It was looking good for Powerhouse in Division 3, sitting on top of the ladder with two from two after demolishing West Brunswick at the McAlister Oval 13.5 to 3.11. It may have been poor shooting by the Westies but ‘The House’ were far too strong.

Best – Edwards (5), Burnside, Bowden, Macack, Elliott, Watson (PH) and Martin, Melican, Moore, Jane, Brown, Barclay (WB).

At Elgar Park, Box Hill North won their game against Eley Park after the siren. The talent of Dan Penny was again on display around the goals and he was the logical one to demonstrate the winning kick. Best – Summerfield, Penny (6), Harrison, Ball, Irvine, Marcakis (BHN) and Broadbear, Brown (3), Wignell, Bennett, Viola (EP).

Dan Noonan (Old Xavs) was awarded the Club Warehouse Rising Star Award. Daniel is the son of former Xavs ruckman John Noonan, who won five club best and fairest awards and played in four premierships in six seasons. Daniel spent most of the 2009 season in the U19’s where he proved to be a huge handful for opposing defenders.

10 YEARS AGO – 2005 Aquinas had a resounding win in D1 Section over Glen Eira 24.13 to 12.12 to make up for their first round loss. Best – Whitehead, Wooden (8), Toomey, Williams, Olarenshaw, Tzoumenakas (Aquinas) and Conroy (5), Zagame, Tsirogiannis, Pryde, Emmett, Sheedy (GEira).

Old Geelong were being touted as early favourites in D2 section. They certainly demolished Peninsula OB 18.17 to 9.5 in this round. Best – McCarthy, White, Kimpton (4), Casboult, H Legoe, Lansdell (OG) and Day, S Parsons, Barron, Stainforth, Murphy, Pratt (Pen).

Ian Cave, 284 game player at Hampton Rovers and their reserves’coach for 8 years, was acknowledged as a VAFA Certificate of Merit winner. An inaugural member of the Rovers’ Hall of Fame, Ian had also served as a VAFA selector and member of the VAFA Permit Committee. Ormond congratulated Tim Stewart for playing 350 games for his club since 1985, a club record at OAFC. Tim had captained 42

the reserves for 11 years and had enjoyed playing in 5 Reserves’ premierships.

Elsternwick, the VAFA’s oldest district club were celebrating their 100th VAFA season, had planned a number of celebratory functions including a Reunion Ball of grand proportions. As part of their special occasion they had arranged to play the only night game under lights at Elsternwick Park later in the season.

20 YEARS AGO – 1995 E Central Section saw North Brunswick on top after two rounds with a massive percentage. Their huge win over Eltham 29.11 to 5.4 was a major contribution to the 489.96%. Eleven goals in the third term was their best but Eltham fought the game out and kicked 3 goals to 6 in the final term.

Best – Thompson, Dimarco, Keay, McClure, Miller (5), Marin (NthB) and Koster, Gasparotto, Mitchell (3), Weatherall, A Tucker, K Tucker (Eltham).

Old Carey just got over the line against a determined Richmond Central 8.16 to 6.9. The weather was atrocious and the ball became a lump of concrete after half time. The C’s had just enough class to get the 4 points. Best – Everett, Vasilopoulos, Morrison, Anderson, Hughes, Hickey (OC) and Malcolm, Katelis (4), Sutherland, Bove, Holt, Bromley (RC).

Elsternwick thrashed Monash Gryphons in E South Section after an even first quarter. The Wicks had too much talent on each line running out victors 25.14 to 7.7. Best – Ward, Christie, Murphy, Andrew (10), Mussared (9), Cox (Elst) and Adams, White (3), Blandford, Kenyon, Lacy, Fuller (MG).

Geoff Ridd chalked up 150 games as a central umpire. ‘Riddy’ automatically fitted in to become a good umpire following his distinguished playing career with Kew and Parkside. He was adjudged Best on Ground in Parkside’s D Grade premiership team in 1972. Anthony Damen also registered a milestone with the VAFAUA with 100 games with the whistle.

Anthony had previously played with Powerhouse.

30 YEARS AGO – 1985 Rob Green played his 300th game for West THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

Brunswick and along the way epitomised the finest attributes of an amateur footballer and clubman while fulfilling many committee positions.

In A Section, Ormond, fresh from a first up win over Uni Blues in round 1 played Old Xaverians whose first game resulted in a 85 point loss to Collegians.

Well what a turn up, at Yarra Park, never a happy hunting ground for Ormond, Xavs won by 75 points with Steve Curtain kicking 10 goals. Peter Metzner, Nick Wilton and Brendon Ryan were best for the winners.

Ian Chettle broke the UHSOB club record with his 232nd game. The record had been previously held

by Robert Reid. Ian started in 1971 and had been the club’s press correspondent for 6 years and VAFA delegate for 7 years.

In a real thriller in B Section, Old Brighton held on to beat St Kilda CBC 21.15 to 20.18. Best – A Grant, Lade, Wilson (OB) and Riddell, Gilmore, Gillan (StKCBC).

40 YEARS AGO – 1975 AJAX’s three new leaders, Michael Ritterman (Captain), Daryl Cohen (Coach) and Ron Rogers (President) were all smiles after the club’s 64 point win over St Pat’s-Monivae.

Highest scoring game in B Section was Uni Blues 19.18 defeating Ivanhoe 17.12. Best – Anderson, Pleydell, Church (UB) and Hughes (10), Steen, Rojo (Ivanhoe).

A Section umpires were Brian Goodman, Trevor Rowe, Colin Wills, Phil Rowell and Ken Jorgenson 50 YEARS AGO – 1965 In A Section Old Paradians were down by 2 goals against Commonwealth Bank at half time but in the second half turned on a powerful display to finish ahead 13.12 to 8.7. In a great third term Parade kicked 7 goals in 16 minutes as Mount and Weyman each finished with 5 goals. Jones, Pivetta, P Booth and Parker were also strong for the winners. Tony Borrack was as usual strong for the Bank and was mainly aided by Radford, Dick, McQueen, Cleary and Rowley.

MEGT UNDER 19

MEGT U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12 Round 1 finally got under the bragging rights after 1 game. Bowman and way and it was go time for Joyce kicked two each for Trinity and Bennett the MEGT Under 19 Premier and Moore were superb all game. Chalkley was competition with the stronger Blacks’ best and Bartlett kicked 2 goals in the sides already showing their tough encounter. Blacks will head to Albert Park hand. next week and Trinity to Beaumaris which will be a really good test of where the newbies are at.

Old Melburnians took on De La at Albert Park and were jumped by the Dairy Bell boys, who SKOBs dominated against Uni Blues kicking 4 kicked 6.6 in the first quarter to no score…. The goals to none in the first term and then piling home side can take solace in the fact that they on another 9 to 2 in the second and were never won the second term by 1 goal but were never tested at TH King. Hurting from their Grand Final in touching distance of a classy De La Salle outfit. loss St Kevins really made a statement here and Bobby De Fegely and Kelly were the home side’s will no doubt be a tough side to get past this best. Tyquin booted 6 for De La, but Marchese year. Dicintio was among the best and booted was best with Vawser and Tyquin featuring too. 5 while Webb was phenomenal all day getting A 50 point win to De La gets them off to a perfect a lot of the footy. A positive for Uni Blues was start.

Batarilo kicking 4 goals on an otherwise tough day.

St Bernards flexed their muscles against Old Scotch showing no sign of a premiership The Old Xaverians started their 2015 campaign hangover thumping the Cardinals by 80 points with a tough, hard fought 5 point victory over at Camberwell. The usual suspects were superb the under rated Beaumaris. Beautiful conditions for Bernards with Vague kicking 4 and Sibbald greeted both sides but it was the Sharks who got 2 and DeLeur booting 3. Delzoppo, Carey and the early ascendancy leading by eight points Vague were the best for the Snowdogs while at quarter and five points at half time. It wasn’t for Scotch it was Murchie, Hays and Mason best panic stations just yet for the Xavs as they found afield with the latter booting 3. Another cracking a spark in the 3rd to take a three point lead into performance by the reigning champions, who the final term. An ambulance holted play at the have managed to keep most of their Premiership end of the third as a Beaumaris’s player was players in this side and will no doubt be hard to stretchered off with suspected broken ribs and beat this season. a punctured lung.

Blacks may have thought they kicked 2 each for the Sharks with Henricks and were still in it from there but a 4 goal to 1 quarter Douglass the best for Beauy. killed off any hope of a win first up.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

UNDER 19S PREVIEW SECTION 2 Feeling the sting of being relegated from Premier, St Bedes/Mentone didn’t take long to flex their muscle, holding the Lions to a solitary goal in the first half whilst piling on seven of their own. The Tigers put their foot on the pedal in the second half running out convincing 73-point victors. For the winners, Lachlan Palfrey was the dominant forward on the ground booting seven majors whilst Reagan Maddaford was also prominent in the win.

Whitefriars put the disappointing end to last season behind them, playing a typically daring and direct brand of football on their way to an 84-point demolition of Old Brighton. For the Friars, Spencer was influential in the victory booting five goals.

Old Ivanhoe got the jump on Fitzroy in the early going at Chelsworth Park. In a match of momentum swings, Fitzroy responded with a flurry of their own kicking six of the next seven goals on their way to a thrilling 4-point victory in a Saturday special. For the Roys, Daniel O’Connor and Jacob Long bagged three goals apiece whilst for the Hoes Francesco Portella held his head high in defeat with an impressive four goal haul.

In other results, promoted Marcellin were pummeled by a fired up Mazenod team who ran out convincing 72-point winners.

Caulfield Grammarians failed to show signs of improvement after their disappointing 2014 MEGT UNDER 19 Premier Old Melburnians v Uni Blacks Beaumaris v Old Trinity Uni Blues v Old Scotch De La Salle v St Kevins St Bernards v Old Xaverians

campaign, copping a 113-point hiding at the hands of a clinical Parkdale squad.

SECTION 3 It was hot in the kitchen at Carey Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon with rivals Old Carey and Old Xaverians putting on an excellent display of football. Carey made the running early establishing a handy five-goal half time lead. The margin might have blown out in the second half but for some wayward kicking on goal from Carey. Xavs fought back bravely in the final term but it was a case of too little too late, eventually going down by 23-points. For the victors Mitchell Nixon was brilliant kicking five majors. Old Geelong stunned Ormond in the first quarter of their encounter at Como Park, booting eight goals in a devastating burst. The Monders’ showed considerable heart in drawing within 19-points at the main break, however that is as close as they would come. Geelong came home with a head of steam running out emphatic 91-point winners. Oliver Graham and Nicholas Annastassiou were outstanding for Geelong with five goals apiece.

Elsewhere, Hampton Rovers picked up where they left off last season notching a dominant 64-point victory over St Bernards. Williamstown CYMS ran all over the top of Old Camberwell kicking the final five goals of the match to run out 52-point winners.

UMPIRES

@VAFAUA

AND WE’RE OFF Well what a day Melbourne put on for round 1. A beautiful autumn day that had crowds out enjoying the sunshine, fast tracks to run on, field and boundary umpires complaining about the heat (we’ll forget these days in the middle of July when we’re battling icy rain and mud) and the rare sight of goal umpires in short sleeve shirts. Yes it really was a fitting day for the first round of what promises to be another fantastic VAFA season.

Last week, we looked at the career of Steve McCarthy, this week we’re looking at the legend that is Russell Davidson.

Despite it being only round 2, it’s important to note that there will be something very different about the last match of the VAFA season this year, as the man who has officiated in in 7 of the last 8 Premier Grand Finals, won’t be there.

Rusty is one of the most highly credentialed umpires to have blown the whistle in the Ammos, having been on the AFL list and also umpiring a VFL Grand Final. He really is one of the greats to blow the whistle here.

Starting in the SW Gippsland Juniors in 1987, he moved to the Southern Football League in 1988 where he stayed until 1990 when selected to join the VFL/AFL. From 1991-2000 Rusty chalked up 106 VFA/VFL games, 48 AFL Reserves games and even wore the tracksuit as emergency umpire in the AFL on a few occasions.

A true umpire of merit, he took out the John Russo trophy in 1997.

Rusty started giving back to umpiring in 2002, when he was coach of the VFL Umpires Academy, a role he fulfilled until 2004.

umpiring and it was here, that the legend was formed. In 10 seasons in the Amateurs, Russell umpired senior grand finals in all of them. What makes this achievement even more outstanding, is that 7 of those were the Premier Grand Final, add to that a Premier B, Premier C and a Division 1 Grand Final and his record speaks for itself.

But of course, he isn’t finished there. A 12 timer representative umpire, including a trip to NZ and the 2011 AAFC carnival where he was selected as the AAFC representative umpire, and finally twice being selected as VAFA Umpire of the Year, in 2006 and his final year of 2014.

Off field Rusty was a tireless worker for the VAFAUA, serving as President of the Association in 2009 and 2010 and co-ordinating the famous PreFinals dinner from 2009-2014. Fittingly Russell is also a Life Member of the VAFAUA. So with his whistle hung up, Rusty is taking a well-earned break and is training for Iron Man Melbourne 2016!

So Rusty, from everyone at the VAFA and the VAFAUA, thank you for what you have given us.

You have been a true servant of the game and have left a legacy that will live a long time, in fact it is doubtful that anyone will be able to match your 7 Premier Grand Final appearances.

Russell Davidson, you are in every sense, a legend of the VAFUA. Milestones This week, Ian “Horse” Clydesdale takes charge of his 100th VAFA match and his 200th overall, having previously umpired in Sydney, Southern Football League, SW Gippsland FL and MPNFL. Obviously Horse has found his home with the VAFAUA as it is the longest he’s stayed in any league! Well Done

Season 2005 saw the VAFA get lucky, when Russell chose us as the league in which to continue his 52

LIFE MEMBERSHIP

VAFA LIFE MEMBERSHIP – GEOFF REILLEY Geoffrey Reilley was welcomed as the 55th Life Member of the VAFA at the Sportscover Season Launch. Reilley’s assocition with the VAFA stretches back to 1960 when he was a boundary umpire for ES & A Bank whilst still at school at school commencing a 55-year love affair with amateur football that has him more well known to today’s supporters as the excellent scribe of the Retrospective column in the Amateur Footballer.

Reilly played first game with Old Brighton in 1961 where he unfortunately broke his arm on debut. He returned to ES & A Bank in 1962, ran the boundary for their seniors, and started playing with their reserves when they commenced a few seasons later, playing in 1 premiership.

Following the theme, Reilley returned to Old Brighton this time to play reserves and run the boundary for their seniors for a few seasons.

At the end of his playing days, Reilley took up umpiring with the VAFA for five seasons before he was invited to commence an illustrious coaching career in the VAFA. His first appointment wasn’t necessarily in the VAFA, but the role as Ormond U15’s coach for two seasons, allowed Reilley to do some extra support work for their U19’s in the afternoons. A stint as to Ormond Reserves Coach was followed by three seasons as their U19 coach.

Reilley was to become part of the famed coaching panel at Ormond under Mike McArthur-Allen when as Senior Assistant/Reserves Coach,

premierships seemed to come as a matter of course.

Still the fire burned to take on a senior role on his own, so Reilley was appointed senior coach of Whitefriars in 1992. The Monders came a calling in 1995 and Reilley became their senior coach for two seasons.

In 1997, Reilley took up coaching at his third and final club, as he was appointed senior coach at Caulfield Grammarians. A couple of seasons in that role before he subsequently coached Caulfield’s reserves and U19’s when the positions could not be filled.

Reilley’s overall coaching record comprised 486 games (including more than 20 finals and 4 premierships). This of course does not include his time spent as part of the coaching team for the representative program where Reilley was assistant coach of the rep team and also was at varying times a selector and served as Chairman of Selectors for the U19 team. To complete the offfield roles at state level he also served as the Team Manager and Selector for the Victorian Carnival team that travelled to Perth in 1991.

However, his contribution to the VAFA did not end there. Reilley was appointed to the VAFA Executive where he spent five seasons on the Board, including one term as Vice President. Reilley has also been former VAFA Ambassador a role which he relished.

Reilley’s other notable contributions and achievement include: being a long term member of VAFA Australian Football Coaches Association including time as President; he is a current scribe for The Amateur Footballer and is about to enter his 10th season writing the enormously popular Retrospective columne; he is a current match day official of Caulfield Grammarians; Reilley is a Life Member of both the Ormond and Caulfield Grammarians Football Clubs; he received the 2010 AFL Recognition Award for services to Amateur Football; he now serves on the VAFA Cultural and Historical committee; and Reilley has won the Best Clubman award at ES&A Bank, Old Brighton and Caulfield Grammarians.

All in all it is a fantastic resume of service and time spent on the VAFA, congratulations Geoff Reilley, Life Member of the VAFA.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

continued from page 45 SECTION 4 The newly formed U/19s Section 4 kicked off with a classic encounter between Old Haileyburians and Therry Penola. The Lions led all day before Old Haileybury charged home only to fall one point short at the final siren in a thrilling contest.

Mathew Dixon led the way for the victors in a standout performance, whilst for the losers Ben Oakes booted a hard earned three goals.

Playing in their inaugural game in the division, St Kevins got off to a dream start in a hard fought match against a dogged De La Salle side at T.H King Oval. The two teams were neck and neck all day, but a four goal to two final quarter saw the St Kevins side prevail in what was a gruelling encounter. Xavier Siebell and Nick Dachs were both excellent for the winners nailing three goals each, whilst Vincent Newton was also a prominent figure in the victory. In other results, Peninsula were relentless in their 138-point demolition of Point Cook, whilst Oakleigh will also be licking their wounds after falling to an ominous looking Beaumaris side by 98 points.

Northern Blues easily accounted for Monash Blues by a landslide 85 points. Parkdale were far too strong for MHSOB, capping off a great day all round for the club with a resounding 84-point victory.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

COLTS One hundred point victories were the flavour of the day in the opening round of the Colts season. Following on from their premiership last season, Mazenod made light work of Old Paradians with a commanding 119-point victory.

It could have been far worse for Paradians with the Nodders amassing 46 scoring shots to 7 on the day. In one of the closer matches for the round, UHS-VU/Flemington held off a determined Williamstown side by 15 points.

Matthew Mallia was the best forward on the ground booting five goals for Williamstown, whilst for the victors Mac Short was amongst the best players on the ground scoring three majors and playing a major role in the win. Other results from the round saw La Trobe dissect Bulleen Templestowe by 150 points, whilst Ivanhoe had an emphatic 124-point demolition of Uni Blues.

Playing their first game in the colts, Parkside were overwhelmed by a piping hot St Bernards side who ran out 95-point winners.

CLUB XVIII

EALRY STATEMENTS After the polished prose written by the Editor to usher in the season, my poor prose will pale by comparison.

The first quarter in many matches last week provided the only close contest of the game as heat, ability and match fitness took over from adrenalin and youthful exuberance.

REVIEW Last season’s runners up, Hawthorn, showed they will again be a force to be reckoned with when they overwhelmed 2014 third place getter, Prahran/ Assumption to win by 160 points. Ari Mitropoloulis and John Farah each kicked five goals in the Hawthorn landslide victory.

Newly promoted, La Trobe University, carried their 2014 form into Round 1 when they outplayed North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s to win by 112 points.

Josh Auchettl with seven goals starred for La Trobe. The victory would have removed some of the disappointment felt at La Trobe, because North Old Boys / St Patrick’s was the only side to beat them in 2014. Richmond Central started brightly against perennial premiers, Old Xaverians who then asserted themselves to clearly outplay “The Snakes” over the remaining three quarters as the “Crocodiles” powered to victory by 38 points.

Old Geelong forfeited to newcomers, Ivanhoe who have returned after a season in recess. Whilst it is unusual to see a forfeit in round 1, perhaps some at OGs were still away with family in the last week of school holidays.

In Section 2, Old Westbourne’s plans were diverted from Bulleen Templestowe – who will not field a side this year – and instead made the long trip to Beaconsfield to play St Francis Xavier, who have found their way into the section at the last minute. Despite the X-Men’s lack of numbers, they took control after quarter time, as they held Old Westbourne scoreless in two quarters en route to victory by 85 points.

Bennett, with six goals, starred up forward for the winners. Kew and University High School/ V.U. played a lively and even first quarter before Kew took control of the fast, open game and ran away 58

on the scoreboard to win by 101 points. Pat Slingo contributed seven goals for Kew. Ormond trailed Melbourne High School Old Boys for the first three quarters, before they gained control in the last quarter to record victory by 22 points. Louis Mayer (4 goals) was again prominent for the losing “Unicorns”. Two newcomers to Club XVIII, in West Brunswick and Albert Park met on the Ransford Oval. Albert Park led throughout because their players were more match fit and because several of the West Brunswick players participated in their first ever match of Australian rules. Albert Park recorded a 34 point winning margin as their opponents tired in the last quarter.

Best players for Albert Park included: Cameron Fennell, Beau Coyle (4 goals) and Miles Coker. For West Brunswick; Jack Anstey, Luke Jacobson and Angus Carroll were best.

PREVIEW OF ROUND 2 Section 1 sees Northern neighbours Ivanhoe and La Trobe University meet on Ivanhoe Park where many a visiting team has suffered defeat over seventy plus seasons. Despite this history, I believe La Trobe will prove too strong this morning. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s are my selection to defeat the yet to play Old Geelong. I base this assumption purely on the fact the match is to be played on the Gillon Oval. Old Xaverians will unfurl their 2014 pennant before they face their moment of truth against Hawthorn whom they defeated in the 2014 finals.

Hawthorn may find the size of Stradbroke Park difficult because they are accustomed to the smaller Rathmines Reserve. I expect a high class game which will test both sides. I favour the Xaverians to win a close contest. Prahran / Assumption host Richmond Central in another afternoon match. The “Two Blues” form was too bad to be true last week as for many seasons they have started slowly. Conversely Richmond Central acquitted themselves well against Old Xaverians and on that form I select them to win this afternoon.

In Section 2, the early match sees Albert Park travel to Kew who impressed last Saturday. I select Kew, THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2015

whom I watched in Round 1, to win as the report I received on the Albert Park / West Brunswick match indicated Albert Park had the bare minimum number of players, some of whom were injured during their game. On their small home ground, Melbourne High School Old Boys should record their first win of the season by defeating the travelling Westbourne Grammar side. Ormond will hold a marked home ground advantage over St Francis Xavier, whose better talented players could swing the game in their side’s favour.

However at Ormond, I feel the home side will triumph narrowly. Royal Park neighbours, University High School/ V.U. and West Brunswick meet this morning on the Brens Oval. University High/ V.U. players tired badly last week after a promising start while West Brunswick proved dogged opposition despite their players lack of experience. I select West Brunswick.
