out to ensure it does not lose the experience of Worsfold.

here is not much more Scott Camporeale can do in auditioning for the top job at Adelaide, with the only question being whether he actually wants it.

The Crows have been in good hands since Camporeale was thrust into the role mid-season and the club will continue to be if he decides he is capable of doing it full-time following the finals series. He has grown in the position, under the guidance of Director of Coaching John Worsfold. Together they can steer Adelaide towards future success. Phil Walsh saw something in Camporeale during his short time at the club, even persuading management to extend his contract to ensure it did not lose his expertise. Now Camporeale is in the limelight as the head man. While strongly maintaining the Walsh ethos, such as making Adelaide the family football club, Camporeale has put his own stamp on the place which

has seen the Crows reach their current heights.

The football club appears to be a fun environment at the moment. The players appear to enjoy having their young families around which makes for more relaxed surroundings from the rigours of preparing for games every week. But again, winning will do that! It was never more evident than after the side’s great victory over the Western Bulldogs last Saturday night watching players celebrate with their families, in particular for the Victorian youngsters to keep them involved at the club. The attacking game plan, which Walsh obviously instigated but Camporeale has built on, has steered the side to its current position and provided fans with more entertainment. If anything, Camporeale has guaranteed himself a position still in an assistance capacity, should he decide the stresses of the top job are not for him. In this case, the club must go all

He looms as the key to the Crows next premiership as either Director of Coaching or in the head chair. His interest in remaining involved in some capacity has been ignited and some people may think that Adelaide is more desirable than a move to Essendon. However, Worsfold’s interest may only be to stay in his present role, which still allows him to have a major input in coaching strategies but also be more of a figure head to the leading man. With those thoughts in mind, Adelaide CEO, Andrew Fagan, and the coaching selection panel should not look much further than West Coast assistant Don Pyke. Pyke ticks so many of the required boxes that the club is seeking, he is almost unsurpassable. He has been at the club previously as an assistant supporting Neil Craig, before returning to Perth where he learnt much from Walsh himself. Whilst Worsfold was at the helm during a successful period for West Coast. One could say a dream team – do we dare to dream?

THUMBS UP

THUMBS Down

The changing face of Australian cricket has begun, due to retirements, injury and resting of key players, with a few surprises named in the squad for the coming tour of Bangladesh.

The Matildas having to boycott a sold-out tour of matches against world champions USA, in a dispute over pay is a blight on women’s sport.

Little known Tasmanian bowler Andrew Fekete and uncapped West Australian opener Cameron Bancroft join recalled foursome Joe Burns, Usman Khawaja, Glenn Maxwell and Stephen O’Keefe in a new-look squad for the two-match series in October. Adam Voges has also been handed the vicecaptaincy duties ahead of Nathan Lyon in the absence of David Warner. But where are the South Aussies?

It is disappointing the FFA could not come to some form of agreement with the Australian women’s soccer team over pay and conditions, which are a fraction of those enjoyed by its male counterparts. Despite regularly outperforming the Socceroos in global competitions, including being the first Australian team to win a knockout game at a World Cup in June, the Football Federation of Australia will not boost the pay or conditions, such as maternity provision, to the Matildas’ players.

Driven to succeed T here is a resilience among the current Adelaide group that could take it anywhere.

The drive to succeed is palpable and sits at the highest level it has been for a long time. It is hard to say that it will diminish for this week’s second semi-final.

Mentally the players are strong but they know there are still areas of improvement skill-wise that are needed to take them to the next level. Although being down on most of the key performance indicators against the Western Bulldogs, they were able to find a way to break through and it wasn’t just luck or blind faith either. Kicking for goal was improved. Straight kicking wins matches as was proven. Disposal efficiency around the ground was enhanced on past performances as well. Both will need to be up there again on Friday night if the Crows are to have any chance of upsetting former flag favourite Hawthorn at the MCG. However, the key components they will need to work on to bring about success are their clearances at the centre bounces and pressure at the contest to restrict the Hawks’ ball movement. Adelaide has been centre-clearance kings this season, ranked number one in the league. But it was smashed in this area by the Bulldogs. The Hawks are ranked second here so winning the ball in the middle will again be a deciding factor on Friday night. When Hawthorn does win the ball, it will be important that the Crows’ intensity level is high. They cannot allow the Hawks to get a free rein so their resolute pressure must be unwavering. Adelaide’s kick-outs from defence were also an issue last week. It won’t be able to give its opponents’ second chances on goal this week as it will be punished severely. Breaking the lines through half back and clearing the ball quickly, like Rory Laird and Brodie Smith have done all year, will pave a direct path to victory and keep the dream alive. The Crows need to be prepared for an unsociable Hawthorn. By getting on top early, both on the scoreboard, for a change, and by the way they attack the contest from the outset, can limit their opponents’ behind the play

niggle and ensure their attention is focused on the football.

There will be pressure on the Hawks this week, considering their desire for a ‘three-peat’ of premierships. Taking it up to them will build pressure over the course of the contest. Hawthorn will miss former Crow Jack Gunston, which gives Adelaide one less goal-kicking forward to worry about. Coach Scott Camporeale can build his defensive structure around containing the influence of Jarryd Roughhead, Luke Breust, Cyril Rioli and Paul Puopolo. Adelaide’s attack of captain Taylor Walker, Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Tom Lynch and Charlie Cameron are going to have to take

Footy footnotes It was a gutsy performance from the Crows to beat the Western Bulldogs last week, we can only hope that they have got more in them to keep the dream alive. It was a fascinating weekend of finals football though with the two West Australian sides sending Perth into raptures, but Richmond became the real talking point of the week. • The Tigers may have lost their moniker of ‘perennial ninth place-getters’ but their tag could be considered far worse, now known as ‘finals chokers’ • But how much did the ‘non-holding the ball decision’ 30m from goal which could have put them back in front late in the match cost them victory, especially seeing as the Kangaroos immediately rebounded to score a decisive goal to extend their lead? • A damning statistic is that the now defunct Fitzroy has still won more finals than Richmond since 1982 • The Tigers did at least make it a week further into September this year • Could Hardwick end up at Essendon next year? • Will the Roos rest up this week to get ready for the Eagles? • Just fined? – North Melbourne forward Lindsay Thomas is lucky to be available to play this week after his kick to the chest of Richmond’s Dylan Grimes • Getting on the field looked slim for Roo hero and former Power youngster Ben Jacobs after spending two days in hospital with gastro during the week and losing three kilos, but his inspired effort to keep Richmond captain Trent Cotchin to only

their opportunities when presented. They may be limited by a more experienced Hawks back six, that includes Brian Lake, Josh Gibson, James Frawley, Shaun Burgoyne and Grant Birchall, than the Bulldogs. Getting the ball in quicker while having the midfielders provide support on the scoreboard as well could prove vital. Camporeale may be reluctant to make too many changes to a confident winning formula, but maybe a Mitch Grigg for Rory Atkins would bring in a little more composure and deft skills with the ball. It’s there for the taking. Who knows when these opportunities will come up again, as seen with the Crows most recent three-year wait to return to the finals. Could we be in for an Eddie-Cyril showcase? BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN nine possessions was crucial in his side advancing to this week’s semi-final • Kangaroo Todd Goldstein needs just 17 hitouts this week to become the first player in history to reach 1000 in a season • Dockers serial pest Ryan Crowley is now free to play following his drug ban but even coach Ross Lyon says its “a million to one” chance that he’ll play • Has Sydney’s premiership chance gone with the absence of ‘Buddy’ Franklin (and fellow forward Sam Reid) from the finals series? – we hope he gets well soon though and inspires others who need help • Former coach of both Hawthorn and West Coast, Ken Judge was offering Eagle Jeremy McGovern no sympathy on Friday night when the defender popped his shoulder out, suggesting he was “made of plasticine” – well, medicos must have been able to ‘remould’ him as he came back and had an influence on proceedings • Four players - Dayne Beams, Stefan Martin, Mitch Robinson and Dayne Zorko – tie for Brisbane’s Club Champion award – you’d feel bad if you missed out • A priority draft pick for bad player management – the Blues are kidding themselves, aren’t they? • Karma perhaps that it was Crow Charlie Cameron who kicked the winning goal after being decked by Bulldogs skipper Robert Murphy moments before, leaving him gasping for breath – Murphy was fined for his action • There must be concerns around the corridors of the NRL head office when finals ticket prices had to be slashed to just $15 to ensure relatively decent crowds last weekend

Second semi-Final

first semi-Final

HAWTHORN V ADELAIDE

SYDNEY V NORTH MELBOURNE

Hawthorn has won its past five games against Adelaide including their only clash this year in round 12 at Adelaide Oval. The Hawks lead at every change, including by 16 points at half-time but they lost the lead briefly in the third quarter when the Crows peppered the goals early in the second half. Hawthorn though, steadied to win, 17.12 (114) to 12.13 (85), with three goals from Luke Breust. The Crows last beat the Hawks in the opening round of the 2011 season by 20 points at Football Park. They haven’t beaten Hawthorn in Melbourne since winning by 27 points at the MCG in 2009. The sides have met seven times at the MCG with the Hawks leading four wins to three, having won the past two. The sides have met in three finals with Hawthorn leading 2-1. Adelaide played the Hawks in its maiden AFL finals appearance in the 1993 first elimination final, winning by 15 points at the MCG. They lost the 2007 first elimination final at Docklands by three points after Buddy Franklin kicked seven goals. More recently, they lost the 2012 first preliminary final at the MCG by five points despite four goals from Taylor Walker and Kurt Tippett. Hawthorn’s loss to West Coast was its first in a final since the 2012 grand final, ending a run of six straight wins. The Hawks have a 5-2 record in knockout semi-finals, same as Adelaide but it hasn’t won back-to-back finals since winning the flag in 1998. Hawthorn hasn’t missed a preliminary final since finishing seventh in 2010. The Crows have only reached the preliminary finals once since 2007. Last year, both qualifying finals losers went out in ‘straight sets’. However, they were the first to suffer that fate since West Coast in 2007. Hawthorn has never gone out in straight sets. The Crows and Hawks have met 36 times for 18 wins apiece.

Sydney has won nine of its past 10 games against the Kangaroos. Its only defeat since 2008 was a 43-point win at the SCG in round four last year when North Melbourne stunned the Swans kicking nine goals to three after half-time. Aaron Black and Daniel Wells top scored with three goals apiece. However, Sydney turned the tables in last year’s first preliminary final at Homebush, winning by 71 points, 19.22 (136) to 9.11 (65). The Swans won every quarter with Lance Franklin scoring five goals and Kurt Tippett four. The Swans won their only meeting this year at Docklands in round 11 by 16 points, 14.7 (91) to 10.15 (75) with four goals from Lance Franklin and three from Adam Goodes, after leading at every change. The Swans lead 2-1 in finals. Before last year, Sydney lost the 1996 grand final by 43 points before winning the 2008 second elimination final by 35 points at Homebush. Sydney has now lost its past two finals and hasn’t dropped three in a row since 1998-2001. The Swans are 4-9 in knockout semi-finals. North Melbourne has won three of its past four finals – its best sequence since the 1999 premiership. North is 8-4 in knockout semi-finals, having won its past five in a row and is unbeaten under the current finals system. The Roos’ last knockout semi-final loss was to Footscray in 1985. Sydney hasn’t gone out in ‘straight sets’ since 1987. The Swans are endeavouring to reach the last four for the fourth straight year. They achieved that six years in a row from 1909-14 but in a smaller 10-team competition. Overall, Sydney leads North 82 wins to 72 with one draw. Sydney’s two finals wins at Homebush against North are their only previous meetings at the ground.

AFL MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Fyfe wins second AFLPA MVP award

teammate’s impeccable work ethic and desire to keep improving. “From day one this season it was clear that Nat’s outstanding form was continuing on from last year and that he was more than willing to work hard to keep growing and improving his game,” Pavlich said. “To be voted Most Valuable Player by his peers ... two years in a row is a true testament to the dedication and skill that he brings to the game.” Western Bulldogs skipper Bob Murphy was voted the competition’s best captain, with Sydney’s Isaac Heeney the best first-year player and teammate Luke Parker taking out the most courageous player award. Bulldogs star Jake Stringer was named captain of the best 22 under 22 team – a side consisting of the best players aged under 22 as voted by the public. Greater Western Sydney had the strongest representation in the allstar line-up with four players - Adam Treloar, Jeremy Cameron, Devon Smith and Dylan Shiel - making the side. BY JASON PHELAN – AAP

PRELIMINARY Final WEST ADELAIDE V CENTRAL DISTRICT Sunday 2.40pm, Adelaide Oval TV: 7Mate, Radio: Life FM, ABC891, 5AA HEAD TO HEAD:

WA 55, CD 73, Drawn 1

LAST THREE ENCOUNTERS:

Paul Thomas led from the front in a superb captain’s performance, with his opening quarter goal from beyond the 50m arc setting a tone that the rest of the playing group lifted universally from. The Magpies’ accurate kicking – only one of their three behinds were off the boot – kept them in the contest late in the game. But some of their young talls couldn’t impose themselves on the contest for lengthy periods. The club will assess the performance carefully to see how it can best work next year’s squad when it becomes clearer after the drafts. The Bloods started slowly against the Eagles in the second semifinal and paid the price, leaving their run too late, as usual, in coming from 30 points down at three quarter-time. Despite bridging the gap to nine points in the final term, kicking 2.3 in the opening seven minutes of the quarter proved costly, as did losing Aaron Fielke and Logan Hill to head knocks. Their running game around the flanks was not as free and fluent early, and Central coach Roy Laird will aim to close the game down from the start to a more contested situation and force the Bloods into rushing possession from the clearances. The Bulldogs work at the stoppages was crucial in gaining the ascendancy, winning the clearances 54-36, although West has been one of the leading exponents in this area all season, so Bloods mentor Mark Mickan will not mind the game being shut down in parts. West’s attack seemed a little jumbled last week until the last term, when Mickan pushed the smaller forwards such as Shannon Green to work at the top of the 50 while pushing the talls like Daniel Webb closer to goal to give the Bloods some bite when winning the ball through the middle. This tactic, while effective initially, may play into the hands of the Bulldog defenders such as Murray Stephenson and Tom Collier to work the ball wide from defence around the flanks if they can take advantage of errant Bloods attacks. This plays into the hands of the likes of Luke Barmby to rebound through the midfield, so West may look to again play Chris Schimdt loose around the stoppages to pick off shallow entries. Jason Porplyzia was pivotal in swinging the tide as a loose man in defence against the Eagles and it is hard to see Laird allowing him so much latitude this week with his creativity and dash. Central will need more in the ruck, with the combined hit-out tally of Jesse Kemp and Ben Mabon (22) only just more than half of Ryan

Willits’s 43 that were vital in getting it down to his Bloods running brigade last week. The latter’s ability to push forward is also something that will need to be monitored closely, although the Bulldog smaller forwards led by Wayne Milera and Jackson Potter were very damaging in space against the Magpies. Daniel Caire is a chance to stand Milera early and force the latter into a more defensive role to reduce Caire’s influence. The Bloods have found diversity through their squad to new degrees this season, with the likes of Aaron Anderson and Travis Tuck filling a variety of roles around the ground to throw out opposition planning. Mickan has been adept at taking early rabbits from hats to mix things up around the ground. When tipping this one, it is easy to look solely at finals form and not the bigger picture across the season. There is no question that Central has been outstanding over the second half of the year and its two finals wins have been excellent. However, West has been one of the benchmarks across a number of indicators in 2015 and has shown the ability to find gears regularly when challenged. Despite the temptation to run with the Bulldogs for another week, will lean to West to get another chance at the Eagles the following week.

general sport Groth pumped for crucial

Davis Cup doubles battle

avis Cup doubles doesn’t come any bigger than Saturday’s must-win showdown between Australia and Great Britain in Glasgow.

Kyle Edmund is the world No.100 and James Ward ranked 141 after slumping to eight straight defeats since his run to the Wimbledon third round.

“Definitely looking at them as the doubles team at the moment,” Masur said.

A place in the 2015 Cup final goes on the line at the Emirates Stadium and the daytwo doubles match-up will almost certainly decide the indoor hardcourt tie.

The stage is well and truly set for one of the most significant doubles encounters in Australian Davis Cup history.

Groth is pumped about the opportunity.

British spearhead Andy Murray carries a commanding 15-0 winning record over Australian opponents, the world No.3’s dominance stretching a decade since his first career victory over Lleyton Hewitt in San Jose. Murray will be a raging favourite to collect two singles points in the semi-final, while Bernard Tomic, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Sam Groth and Hewitt between them should take care of whoever British captain Leon Smith chooses as his No.2 singles option.

Jamie Murray, who has partnered Australian John Peers to back-to-back grand slam finals at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows, is a lock for one of the British spots. Smith is weighing up his options, with Andy Murray and Dom Inglot both proven candidates a chance to partner the older Murray sibling. Australian captain Wally Masur is making no secret that Hewitt and Groth will again team up in Glasgow after doing the business against Kazakhstan in July.

“I won’t go all (former captain) Neale Fraser and play ducks and drakes.” “The doubles is always crucial but when you have someone like Andy in the opposing team who it’s very tough to win singles against, the doubles becomes even more important,” he told AAP. “I’m extremely excited about playing. I believe we are good enough to win. “Lleyton has always played his best in Davis Cup and I think in Darwin we both proved we can win and perform in a situation where our backs are against the wall and the pressure is on.” BY DARREN WALTON – AAP

Cheika unfazed by Woodward barbs

he 2003 World Cup-winning coach said this week in the UK media that Cheika’s side has no chance of lifting the Webb Ellis Cup for a third time, citing a lack of top quality front-rowers as the team’s biggest problem. Australia must beat England and Wales to have any realistic chance of topping Pool A and booking a quarter-final spot in a group that also contains Fiji and Uruguay. Woodward said memories of their struggles at Twickenham last year when England forwards dominated in a 26-17 victory would still be fresh in the minds of the hosts when the two sides meet on October 3. But Cheika said he was happy to let other teams think what they want about his side.

“From a perception point of view I know what I am working on and thinking,” Cheika said in Bath, where the team will be based for the next 10 days ahead of their opening clash with Fiji in Cardiff next Wednesday.

The 84-capped Puma is a veteran of four World Cups and Cheika believes the improved showing of his forwards in recent wins against the All Blacks and Argentina is a sign of his influence.

“I think Clive Woodward said there were four or five club rugby props that would make the Australian team before our props so I think the perception is still there (about us).

“He’s been very good from a philosophical point of view and what we want our scrum to be like and also our set pieces and driving mauls as well,” Cheika said.

“But it’s up to the opponents to think they can push us around but let’s see if they can do it on game day.”

“We acknowledge we needed to improve. It’s our consistency more than anything and we’ve been working hard on that.

So concerned was Cheika about his pack after last year’s disastrous Spring tour where the team lost to France, England and Ireland, he added legendary former Argentina hooker Mario Ledesma to his coaching staff.

“But now we need to show that the fruits of our labour are borne out on the field.”

Gullies must rebound E

xperience told at the end of the day as Tea Tree Gully was punished by a well-structured finals unit last week and it must find a way to rebound quickly for Saturday’s Division 1 preliminary final against Payneham Norwood Union.

The strength of Goodwood Saints, now heading to their eighth grand final in 12 years, proved too great for the finals-green Gullies who were never in the contest last week. It’s a lesson learnt and they must move on focused to atone against the Falcons at Pertaringa Oval this week. Tea Tree Gully is better credentialed to match the Division newcomers who just won’t go away, continuing to rise above all expectations so far.

Payneham Norwood Union is just one win away from a remarkable grand final and the fact nothing overawes it puts it in good stead to continue the run going.

Talking of experience at this level, the Falcons are certainly well down on the opponents they have been facing, including Henley away in last week’s first semi-final. But they have tackled each contest with the vigour and mental tenacity of more seasoned veterans. This will make Saturday’s clash another tight and physical encounter with the one that shows the ability to push that bit harder set to come out on top. Their last meeting was just that in which either could have been successful but it was Tea Tree Gully which claimed the victory in round

16 at Payneham Oval by six points.

However, the Falcons won’t be daunted by having to make the trip to Pertaringa Oval after coming away with a confidence-boosting 24-point win back in round eight. They will take that belief into this week’s visit north. Payneham Norwood Union will need its big guns such as Cameron Milne, Nick Jolly, Tom Langford, Lewis Klemm, Paul Lowe, Tyler Brimacombe, Jack O’Leary and Pierce Seymour firing again though. After finishing top, falling out of contention in consecutive weeks would be a huge disappointment for the Gullies. They cannot allow that to be on their minds and require the likes of dual Division 1 medalists Josh Hand and Alex McKay, coach Mitch Sandery, Adam Cockshell, Nathan Rudloff, Zac MacKay, Adam Maschotta and Jonathan Birkin to come out strong on Saturday.

would understand that it requires the full package this week to account for the leading side throughout the season. It was able to hold its weekend opponent in parts defensively in the second semi-final two week ago, but it took away from it being able to gain any offensive influence. Both areas of play will be needed this week to get over the high flying Jets.

Unley Mercedes has taken all before it since rising to this level following success in Division 3 last season and its continual climb this year has been nothing short of meteoric, especially considering the jump in standard between the top echelons of the competition. The Jets did not win the premiership last year, despite their standout season, much like this year, and will be mindful of that going into Saturday’s decider. Their hunger for that success and the memory of the hurt felt at the end of last year’s Division 3 grand final against Modbury will be a driving force this week. The talent around the Jets line-up will make it hard for the Reds, such as Division 2 medal winner Luke Harder, Nick Chettle, Nick Wark, Tom Rodger, Luke Heaslip, Jesse Duval, Ryan Wilsdon and Stephen White. Prince Alfred OC cannot afford to give its opponent an inch from the outset and definitely prevent the Jets from gaining an early ascendancy that it will not be able to come back from. The Reds will rely heavily on Adam Perryman, Brendan Papps, Gavin Hughes, Tom Ashby and Sebastian Moroney as they did last week while the influence provided by the Dalwoods - Will and James, Karl Siebels and Drew Clayfield will suggest whether they can pinch the prize.

Vili’s DIVISIOn 3

Magic day out for Phantoms I t was a golden day for PHOS Camden Football Club from morning to night when the club won three amateur football premierships at Adelaide Airport Stadium on Saturday.

PHOS won the C3, division three reserves and division three grand finals to cap its best return on the one day for many years. In the A grade final the Phantoms beat Old Ignatians 15.11 (101) to 11.7 (73) after trailing 3.2 to 1.1 at quarter time. But the pendulum started to swing in the second quarter as PHOS hit back in the middle of the ground to lead 6.3 to 4.5, spectators not knowing what the score was for about 10 minutes when a power outage affected the electronic scoreboard. The third quarter saw the Phantoms edge to a 10.9 to 7.6 lead at the last change. The game was over early in the last quarter as PHOS took control but Iggies kept hanging in late in the game. The win sees the Phantoms return to division two next season. But coach Simon Quinn said that was not a motivating factor on the day or during the season. “That (promotion) wasn’t even spoken about,’’ he said. “We had plenty of work to do and had to tidy up our own backyard and

strip things right back,’’ he said. “Our aim was to be effective and to not let your ego overtake you. We want to be a humble club and be respectful. I am so proud of them. We had to take them back to the basics to learn how to win, how to defend, how to attack. Not once did we talk about playing in division two, winning takes care of that. This has also been a very special moment for the club to get three flags.’’ Best for the Phantoms were Jarrod Braley, Dylan Gamble, Ryan Reavley, Hamish Gordon (four goals) and Orry Cross. PHOS lost one game for the season, to Athelstone by three points at home in May. Old Ignatians is well placed for next season said coach Jeremy Cini after the side’s loss to the Phantoms. Old Iggies, despite its loss, will be promoted to division two along with the Phantoms. Cini, who played his last game in the B grade final against the Phantoms, said his side was spirited. “They (PHOS) were better on the day but I am super proud of the boys,’’ he said. “It was very disappointing to lose but they are where they should be in division two next

As disappointing as it was we have a strong group of players who can do it next season for the club.’’ Best for Old Iggies were Lachlan Murdoch, Luke Washer (two goals), Sam Cooke, Thomas Kolesnik (two goals) and Cameron Ortlepp (two goals). The Phantoms won a nail-biting division one reserves grand final, hanging on to beat Old Ignatians 4.4 (28) to 3.9 (27), Iggies attacking just metres out from goal when the siren sounded.

Chics rule in a thriller

wo of the feel-good stories of this season’s amateur league competition saw Kilburn edge out Salisbury by two points in a classic grand final at Alberton Oval. While both clubs have had off-field issues to contend with it was forgotten for a few hours last Saturday as Kilburn won 14.11 (95) to 13.15 (93). The Magpies led for most of the day but a few missed shots on goal and Kilburn’s ability to keep hanging in saw the Chics get home. Kilburn footy director Peter Thomas said the win was a thrill for everyone at the club. “It was a great game and we came from behind to win it,’’ he said. “Really both sides deserved to win it and we just happened to be two points up when the siren went.

We knew over 12 months ago we had a lot of work to do’’ he said. “We knew we were in big trouble about a year ago when players walked out so we had to get back to being a normal, competitive club and recruit a lot of those players back. We think we can be okay in division three next season. We just have to work with the budget we have. We have cocaptain Adam Clutton and Jake Levy retiring so we will need some replacements there.’’ Best for the Chics were James O’Loughlin, Cameron Williams, Scott Galbraith, Clifford Wilson and Levy (four goals). Salisbury president Dave Ward said the club did a great job after losing premiership points and being forced to come from the elimination final for breaching sanctions imposed on the club by the amateur league.

“That probably hurt us’’ he said. “We probably needed a week off to get a few players right but overall we did a good job to win all finals except the final. We missed a few chances and could have been four or five goals up but it wasn’t to be. We know where we sit as far as going to division three. We have a number of good, young players who should do well. We have been in division three before and then come down so we know what is required.’’ Best for the Magpies were ruckman Nathan Kennedy, Ryan Paget and brothers Scott and Justin McPherson. In the division four reserves grand finals Salisbury beat North Haven 7.5 (47) to 4.6 (30). Kevin Smyth, Cohen Biddle and Ryan Wood were among the best for the Magpies, while Matthew Mooney, Brock Day and Michael Anderson led the way for North Haven. BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

Celebrations aplenty for Big Reds

n a tense contest, Para Hills was able to hold off Colonel Light Gardens to celebrate a Division 5 premiership.

The Big Reds got the better of their opponents early and kept their composure throughout the seesawing decider. With a strong southerly breeze affecting the match, worth two or three goals, the scoreline reflected the conditions. Despite kicking against the breeze in the opening term, Para Hills held the Lions in check to be only five points down at the first break and then lifted further in the second, kicking away to what seemed a matchwinning lead of 26 points at half-time.

However, as coach Scott Bamford expected Colonel Light Gardens hit back in the third term to regain the lead by just three points at the final break.

A comprehensive 56-point loss to the Lions in the qualifying final meant they had to do it the hard way, winning the next three finals to take out the premiership.

The Big Reds then ran the game out better than their opponents, kicking crucial late goals to take the title by 13 points. “Our first quarter probably set it up for us,” Bamford said. “We played really well into the breeze.”

Bamford said his side was still confident of success going into Saturday’s grand final, having played Colonel Light Gardens numerous times over the past few years where most of the results favoured the home ground advantage.

“There was not a lot of difference in the game. In those sort of you’ve just got to keep believing.”

“They did beat us well in the first final which taught us a bit of a lesson but probably helped us really” he said.

“After losing the first final, the boys showed good character to come back and win it.” Once they got onto neutral confines, Bamford held the belief that his side’s game style would suit the big oval at Saint Marys Park. It gave Para Hills key forwards Paul Cree (six goals), Nick Lynch (four) and Shane Hanson (two) more space to work in and their efforts were praised by Bamford for spearheading the victory. Sean Buss, Terrence Sleep, Sean Maher and Peter Bradtke were also instrumental in the win. BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

CH9AFL Division 6

Panthers on prowl to success

mithfield capped off a consistent season in division six when it outran Lockleys in their grand final at Payneham Oval on Saturday.

The Panthers won 16.16 (112) to 11.18 (84) after trailing by a point at three quarter time. Club president Simon Coulthard said it was an even effort and the club was keen to do well in division five next season. “We have had our hard times but everyone has stuck together,’’ he said. “We will look forward to testing ourselves next season and look forward to keep developing as a club.’’ Best for the Panthers, coached by David Thompson, were Daniel Marston, Swedenson

Hanuman, Robert Abdulla, Anthony Thompson and Mark Garner. Adam Moss and Ricky Nisbet kicked three goals each. For Lockleys, the club has set the groundwork for success despite going down in the grand final, says coach Stephen Zweck. Zweck said there were many positives from the season and game. “I thought we had a good chance but we kicked 3.8 in the third quarter and couldn’t go on with it. But that’s footy,’’ he said. “The season went beyond our expectations and our main focus was to get to division five, to get that prize. We will focus on bringing in a few players but they are more than likely going to be ex players from the club because

of the points system. We have a good group of players and there is plenty to look forward to. There is a big upgrade going on at the club so there are good things ahead.’’ Zweck will coach again next season. Best for the Demons were Nicholas Jones, Shaun Dowling and Dylan Ross. In the division six reserves grand final Trinity Old Scholars proved too strong for Ingle Farm at Payneham Oval, winning 9.13 (67) to 1.4 (10). Best for the Lions were Michael Dimuccio, Jonathan Iacopi and Hunter Martin. The Bulldogs’ best were Brett Dellar, Tim Bryant and Aiden Burt. BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

Horse racing news

Kirramosa returned to the track mid-August fully recovered from a hamstring injury and fractured pedal bone that have hindered her progressed Hence it has been a couple of frustrating years for trainer John Sargent since her Oaks victory after which much was expected, but he has kept faith and now she’s on the up with more success in sight. Lightly raced having had only six starts since that win, Kirramosa boosted Sargent’s optimism about her comeback with an eye-watching fifth in the Tramway Stakes on 5 September when she finished just 1-1/2 lengths from the winner Hooked

Tommy Berry rides Kirramosa, a $12 chance. Glyn Schofield will replace the suspended Glen Boss aboard Doncaster Mile winner Kermadec, who is the $2.90 favourite for the George Main ahead of his Chris Waller-trained stablemate Royal Descent at $5.50. Royal Descent has been runnerup in the race for the past two years behind Streama in 2013 and Sacred Falls last year. Waller will also saddle stayer Moriarty who is looking towards the Metropolitan and big cups races again in Victoria. Protectionist will try to rediscover the form which led him to last year’s 2014 Melbourne Cup win in the race on Saturday. The import will be one of two George Main Stakes runners for trainer Kris Lees with former New Zealander Lucia Valentina also in the field.

“She is well and truly on the way back and is injury free,” Sargent said.

Godolphin trainer John O’Shea will have two runners as well in Sweynesse and Hauraki.

“She runs in the George Main and then she will go to the Epsom. She gets into that with hardly any weight on her back.

Group Two Tramway winner Hooked will be out the lead from the front again while Gai Waterhouse has high hopes for her imported stallion Pornichet.

IT’s a joke “I THINK THAT IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE,” Joe said to the barman. “That’s very generous. Are you a humanitarian?” the barman asked. “No, I’m a boxer,” Joe replied. IN THE LAST THREE YEARS CARLTON HAVE WON MORE FINALS THAN RICHMOND, yet the Tigers have made the top 8 three times, and Carlton have made the top 8 zero times – that’s a joke!
