D IT'S ALL CO-, , .-3, W.'N TO THIS . . . .T :' O TEAMS IN EAC : _ :'_CT--C _ : FOR ONE P=JZE 1 ould firstly like to congratulate both the coachand players of the Old Xaverians and St. Kevin s Football Clubs for putting on a magnificent spectacle of Amateur football last Sunday afternoon .

As I watched the last two quarters from "the hill" . far away from the political and administrative dramas swirling about us at the moment, I realised during those precious moments why we love the game of Australian Rules football - all players hell bent on desperately and fairly gaining possession of the ball and getting it down forward as quickly, cleanly and as often as possible .

I was sorry the siren went - another five minutes St . Kevins could have been in front, another five Old Xaverians . and so on it would go . . .. .

Excited winners, gracious losers . spectators excitedly chattering about the game . Let's hope for more of the same this weekend .

A MUST READ ONE of the more popular columns in this publication this year has been For the Love of the Game .

Since mid-way through the season page 41 ha s been the go to place as soon as many of you have purchased your copy to see what anecdote Brad Beitzel has gleaned from anywhere in the vast Amateur Network .

Today Brad looks at the characters who will attend the VAFA Grand Final Luncheon .

Because there is no Amateur Footballer next week Brad wi ll produce, via e-mail, an official VAFA For the Love of the Game on Grand Final Day 2000 .

This will encompass all sections .

The A Section and award winning Sunday Herald Sun journalist will also produce an official VAFA A Section Grand Final Column available via e-mail .

Brad is keen to receive your views or anecdotes, particularly on the grand finals, so get your e-mail to beitzel qa)phalink .eom .au by Monday 5pm and the columns will be ready by next Tuesday (August 29) .

DES

Meagher has retired as coach of

u -~•

Whitefriars . This ends 38 years of football PH _ 7 STEVE NS that started in1962- C>._IEF EXECUTIV E 1965 with Old OFFICE R Xaverians, Hawthorn 1966 to 1976 (198 games including Big V jumpers), Kilsyth 1977-i979, Hawthorn reserves coach 19801993, and then to the 'Friars, taking the club to the 1998 D and 1999 C section flags . Des was the longest serving coach of the Donvale-hased club . Well played Des .

IT'S HARDER THAN WINNING Losing. It's a word that is detested by sportspeople but often they don't receive it graciously . A measure of a successful person is the way they handle the down times . Last weekend NOBS' Frank Dune ll and St Kevins' Mike McArthur-Allen showed class by agreeing to Channel 31 interviews 30 minutes after their seasons ended .

THANK YOU In another exciting and extremely busy season I wind up my column for another year by thanking a few people, and in attempting to thank people it is always a dangerous exercise because after going to print, you remember the person that perhaps should have been mentioned first . However I thank : Andrew Langford-Jones for his wonderful term as President . Always thinking, always planning his next move . Andrew has been an innovative and progressive leader; Richard Evans, as Chairman for his pragmatic and hard working leadership : to the VAFA's full-time staff of Brett Connell , Sue Anderson an d Karen McNaught for a season's great work : and the many other persons who without their efforts the VAFA would not be the body it is - Noel Rundle. John Dillon, Bruce McTaggart . Peter Harris, Michael and Kain (the groundsmen), Cliff and Mavis Bastow (registrations), the rest of the Executive Committee and the list could go on - and finally my wife Robyn an d daughters Sarah an d Joanne for their support and understanding .

I hope the weekend's football brings the season to a successful close .

R eview Preliminary Final The conditions were excellent at the home of footy. EP . where we saw -- od and NOBs battle it out for the double v hammy of promotion to A section and a GF berth .

The lst quarter was an even one with both team's defences on top . NOBs had trouble finding avenues to goal, and were not able to capitalise on their fonvard moves . There were skill errors by both sides, highlighted by Mazenod . who seemed to consistently handball to stationary players . This was indieative of the pressure being applied, and it took until the 18 min mark for Mazenod to break the ice, and NOBs followed shortlv after. Two more to NOBs . before one from Polan of Mazenod right before the siren saw the boys from Brunswick hold a 6 point lead .

Mazenod came out smoking in the 2nd quarter. Five goals in 12 minutes unanswered saw NOBs punch drunk from which they never recovered . Mazenod's midfield, led by Meehan, Polan and O'Donaghue were getting on top and that was allowing Kavanagh space in the forward line to move . The benching Harrison for the lst quarter paid dividends for Dave Murray . as when he came on at 1/4 time . the results were matchwinning (3 goals for the quarter) . NOBs weren't able to hold pack marks, and were being led to the ball . Frank Drmell even had to give his guns in Saad and Barker a run in the ruck to try to stop the onslaught . Unfortunately . it was not enough, as Mazenod booted 7 .2 to 2 .5 and go into 1/2 time with a 21 pt lead .

After 1/2 time, one could sense that NOBs had increased their intensity, however, it was having little effect on the scoreboard . Mazenod were getting front and centre which was making life difficult for NOBs. Every time NOBs were able to goal . Mazenod would peg it back . Casboult thought he would try and lift his team with an almighty hanger and goal midway through the quarter to bring the margin back to 15 pts . but the pressure and run from Mazenod, especially Kelly . was relentless .

The lead by Mazenod blew out to 26 pis after

nals to i anle - ard . ;elli . b~iore Barke krpuledonbac right before the L siren to give NOBs a sniff. and go to the 3/4 break with a 20 pt defici Any thoughts of a comeback by NOBs we : dispelled quickly after Kavanagh goaled 2 mir in to the last quarter . The pressure fro : Mazenod was forcing errors and turnovers I NOBs and it was too much for them to handl NOBs did have their chances, however, of ma, ing the game interesting as they missed 4 r setivlyashonrwbefgal Harrison and Dunne put the result beyor doubt . The fat lady was rolled in to put the ft : ishing touches on the day . Kelly was going nu in the middle, and was well supporte . Two late goals by NOBs added so dPickerng n respectability to the score, and when the gan ended, Mazenod were 24 pis in front and off to section .

Better players for the winners were Kel1.

Lancaster, M . Murray and Harrison (5 goals) . F the losing side, Casboult, Sanders, Lock ai Wilkinson tried hard .

Preview Old Brighton ( 1/6) v s Mazenod (9/2 )

The 2nd Semi is revisited here with the top sides squaring up at the OK corral .

My pre-season 'coat pullers' indicated th Dave Murray brought a new, more systemat clear and concise structured game plan Mazenod this year . The players have respond in the best manner imaginable by playing col sive and disciplined football week in week oi Their midfield and 1/2 back line run like ha: goats all day and put enormous pressure their opponents . This allows easy passage to t open forward line of Kavanagh and Harrison he's not on the bench!). Win, lose or draw . t boys from Glen Waverley have really enjoy their footy this year and 2000 has seen them the best out of themselves . I've been ridiculed and wide about my writings on Mazenod tl year, but they are on the way to A section, a have won 15 of 20 games so far . I must be a rf sonable judge !

Old Brighton . Does anything more need to said about this team that has taken all before

As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, theare tall, athletic and superbly fit, and this has-enabled them to dismantle opposition teams at the click of Dale Tappings fingers . We saw in the 2nd Semi that they are mere mortals after all, after being outscored in 3 of the 4 quarters . However, they still managed to win . Good sides don't have 2 bad ones in a row, and I wouldn't mind having a lazy wager on them winning more than 1 quarter today. They also have that bloke who is no chump, the All Star Player of the Year in Bradley, and if he has a day out, it will be worth the admittance price alone .

I've been saying all along that I believe that OB will win the flag, and even though Dale Tapping is nervous about this game, he need not worry, as nothing I've seen has changed my opinion . The only way I can see Mazenod winning this is if the bus takes OB to Mansfield to visit my folks instead of EP! The boys from Beach Road will be celebrating with premiership medallions today, as they will hold too manv aces for Mazenod . The odds favourites will win like good things should by 45 pts .

MagoOs De La Sa lle ( 1/ 8 ) vs Old Brighton (6/1 ) DLS have seen their main danger fall over last week . and Paul Dwyer has had to switch his focus to OB instead . The favourites have been the yardstick all year, and I believe that OB played their GF last week, and as such, the hot pots will salute today and take the flag back to Malvern when they win by 35 pts .

Old B ri ghton - congratulations to Andrew Cooper, who last Saturday played his 150th game . At 35 Coops has taken longer than most to reach this milestone due to commitments representing his country in rowing . His dedication and ability to give 100% at all times makes him a great model for all young players . He is an outstanding character and contributor to Old Brighton both on and off the field, especially if a beer is involved . Good luck today and for the next 50 . Well done Coops .

the victors go the spoils congratulations to d Paul Mat%on. John Toohey and all associate on a terrific performance last with Theray-Penola week and rightful promotion to B-Section .

Commisserations to all at Ajax you certainly had your chances during the game but could not take them but nonetheless you have had a pretty good year coming up from D and should be proud of your efforts . Ajax would like to congratulate both Beaumaris and Therry on their promotion .

And so from 10 we are down to 2, let the fun begin may it be a great game and spectacle and may the best team win .

REVIEW SENIORS Therry got away to an early 2 goal lead as th

eegamstldownbuheJack-sprdtov their measure as they kicked the next 3 into a slight breeze to take the lead . But the Therry boys had gotten rid of the jitters by now and appeared more settled . they kicked 3 twins in a row to lead by 9 points at the first change . But it was still anyone's gam e Ajax totally dominated the second stanza but did fall to make the most of numerous scoring opportunities and so were not able to open up the match winning lead they were striving for . Had opened up a 16 point buffer late into the term before Boyle kicked a goal to bring the defecit back to 10 points at the main break . But one still felt that the Jackas still held sway and should have been able to go on with it .

Well somebody forgot to tell John Toohey and the boys that at half time, don't know what they were on but they came out in the championship quarter and absolutely blitzed . Therry kicked 9 goals to 1 through this period to totally run away with the game . Running in 2's and 3's off the half back line and through the centre corridor they completely demoralised the Ajax unit who became

undisciplined with all their top players going mis s ing, it was very much reminiscent of their clash earlier in the year.

Scoring was hard early in the last term with the Jackas trying hard to fight the game right out, but the Therry boys still managed to kick the first major to put paid to the Jackas hopes of a last term revival . At one stage the lead was extended to some 48 points until Ajax kicked a couple to add a bit of respectability to the scoreline . All in all a good day at the office for the boys from Oak Park and a

somewhat disappointing finish for Ajax.

Big Chief Petrevski on his return from injury was terrific al day for the victors especially in the third term where he kept getting the ball to the turf giving hi barrage of little guys first use . Edwards up fonvar, was a fine focal point with 6 big ones, 4 of them 'L the third quarter onslaught, Ricky Bannister playe w~ell as did Mills . Nick Gold . Brad Davis . and Mar Blashki were the only Jackas who were eompetith for 4 quarters whilst Dukes M . Segal and Redlich e battled hard .

RESERVES You could not wish to see a better standard Reserve Grade football than this one . It had ever thing including the Prahran boys lining up in incc rect positions at the start that cost them a goal at ultimately the game . First one side then the otb held sway with the lead changing some 21 tim during the course of the game . The Two Blues It opened up the biggest break of some 22 points It way through the second term but the Shal pegged it back kicking 4 in 5 mins to go in ji behind at the main break . It was nip and tuck during the 3rd term with the Blues still in front the orange break . The Sharks finally hit the froni the 21 minute mark of the final quarter and in longest 5 minutes of their lives were able to hold and record a narrow victory and earn the righi another crack at the seemingly invincible The unit .

Jason Meade, Patty Fisher, Scotty Nish, N McLean and Quentin Groves were all stand outs Beauy while Prahran were well served by Buh Crough_y, Lee Aitken, Robbo in his 200th Justin Nugent in a flying visit from Adelaide .

PREVIE W SENIORS And so it comes down to this . What we hav been striving for since last November becomi reality for the lucky victors today .

Beaumaris have beaten Therry in all t encounters so far this year so that puts the la averages onto Therry's side one would think, this should not have any bearing on the thinki the Beaumaris players who have set themselve today for a long time now and will not want to s ble at the final hurdle . There will be some inte ing tussles and match ups throughout the

watch promises to be a great Grand Final between obviously the 2 best sides in the section . Could write about it all day and night but I won't, suffice to say I have not tipped against the Sharks all year and I don't plan on doing so now in this the biggest game of the year . So I'm tipping Beaumaris to reverse the trend of 1998 and go into B-Section as premiers.

RESERVES Three pretty even matches between the Beauy and Therry Reserves have taken place this vear with the highest margin being in the Second Semi, the boys fom Oak Park have won them all and duly start favourites today, but contrary to my logic in the Seniors favourites are there to be beaten . Last week's win was just the fillip the Sharks needed and I think in a surprise they will get over the line .

PRESS CORRESPONDENT S A final thanks to Rod Moran from Therry . John Brustman from Ajax and Basil Cleary from Prahran for their input in this column for 2000.

Well that's it for the year . enjoy your summer and we look forward to being back bigger stronger and better in 2001 .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2000

round 2500 years ago a Greek bloke called Heraclitus decided that human life was al l about coping with the tendency for events to swing from one extreme to the other . He called the process 'enantiodromia', and there was plenty of it in the social room at Box Hill last Saturday . The elation of the Old Essendon folk, contrasting starkly with the deep disappointment of the Monash Blues and their supporters .

Congratulations to OEG . who, after 4 years of consistent performance in D1 . have genuinely earned their promotion . Deep commiserations to the Blues, surely their prolific talent, plus the experience gained from this fina's campaign will profit them in 2001 .

This year I suffer the same fate that A & B Section's scribes have to wear even, year, that of not being able to report on their biggest day of the season! My thanks to Phil. Brett. Sue. Karen, & Peter for your help during the year.

Special thanks to Geoff Reilley for his smooth operation in the role of Senior Duty Officer for our Finals Series . Also to Alan McDonald, Gary and the team of the Box Hill Hawks for their tremendous support on match days . And not forgetting the happy and efficient Gate Staff, Ross . Lvii, Peter, and Vicki !

I wish everyone associated with Caulfield Grammarians and Old Essendon Grammarians the very best of good fortune today . and to all in D 1 Section, a propitious and fret free off season!

PRELIAHNARY FINALS REVIE W Seniors Old E ssendon stunned Monash Blues with a committed, ultra intense first term, which vielded them 6 unanswered goals, and, effectively, promotion to C Section . Peter Lutterschmidt and Sam Evans were the destrovers in that opening burst with 5 goals between them, but there was not a Grammar player on the field who gave their opponent a millimetre of space . and that's the way it stayed for the rest of the game .

The Blues stopped the rot in the 2nd term and controlled play for long periods several times during the last half but never came closer than 3 kicks to Grammar. The killer for the Blues was a continual 20 minute attack in the last term which produced 6 behinds, three of which were virtual gimme's. For me, the standout Grammar player was Drew Fletcher. whose laces out pass-

ing, and long kicks to position were a constant worry to the Blues ; Peter I,utterschmidt's 'sealer' 24 minutes into a tense last term capped off a wonderful game from an inspirational captain ; U19 Sal Cetin was super in defence; Dan Ryan was busy all day; and Scott MacPherson's work in the ruck and round the ground kept the Blues under the hammer thoughout, Regardless, every Grammar player contributed to a fine team performance . with a special mention to James Heritage for a speedy recovery from the complex finger dislocation he suffered . The Blues in general had a bad, sad day, but Sam McGee stood tall at CHB ; Dave Rogers covered vast territory trying to revive flagging spirits; John Caldwell battled hard in midfield ; and Dave Furnell gave his all in the ruck The field umpiring was adroitly handled by Mart Gibson and Craig O'Donoghue .

Reserves OEG and the B lues both went hammer an( tongs between I 1 .30am and 1 .35pm with neve more than two kicks between them at any stage This was close to the best Ressies match I'v, seen, and was well controlled by Daniel Halliwe] and Sharon Alger, since the level of eommittmen could easily have exploded into a series of wha are termed . 'reportable offences', or worse, thos Club money draining nonsenses . 'Melees'! Fc Grammar, Andrew Hutchison rucked effeetivelr with on-ballers Brett Turner and Shaun Howar rarely far from the action, in an even team effor The Blues had lively games from forward ; Kamphius, Teasdale and Hendretta .

THE GRAND FINALS for 2000 Seniors Caulfield Grammmarians and Old Essei don Grammarians revisit the scene of t1' thriller they played in the Second Semi, and c paper it should be repeated today . Howeve Grand Finals are frequently let downs, the pi mary Club objective of promotion having be( achieved . the keen edge of passion can be dulle Today will probably be different, both Clul derive from proud institutions with a long hist ry of producing skilled, committed footballei none of whom like being beaten at anything' anybody, let alone by each other . Grammar le M ruP: aenaTFt ip FnOTBALLER 2?

r,

the Fields in the 2nd Semi for over 70% of the normal playing time, and it isn't just a case of Will OEG last the distance?', another pertinent question is 'Could the Fields pull off another Lazarus act?', in similar circumstances?

Grammar is reputed to lack grunt towards the end of flowing games on big grounds . Well, that wasn't awfully apparent last week against the hardest running side in the Section! From the Scott MacPherson /Andrew Will ruck contests, through the battle between two outstanding midfield units, to the respective defence's attempts to put the clamps on OEG's Lutterschmidt and Evans, or Field's Amiet and Margerison, this match will be full of skill, drama, and compelling interest . On balance, I'll go with the numbers, Caulfield . over the season, have been more prolific scorers, and had a tighter defence than Grammar: those factors prevailed in the end in the 2nd Semi . I think they will do so again today . For those with dodgy tickers, or, paeemakers installed, bring a goodly supply of downers to pop during the afternoon, because I can't see much space between the contestants . Fields to win a ripper by 1/2 goals, hopefully without extra time being required! !

Reserves Caulfield Gr. and OEG Ressies also carry on from the ding donger they had to leave off two weekends back, just because some killjoy sounded the siren!! There was little between them then, and there won't be today . I know the Grammar Two's wouldn't feel right if I so much as hinted that they had chance of winning, so I'll go for the Fields by a goal after a great contest !

50 YEARS AGO - 1950 Ormond and University Blacks met at Elsternivick Park in the Final - victory to Ormond meant the premiership, defeat a replay against the Blacks the following week for the flag .

The game began in perfect conditions with Ormond holding a narrow lead at halftime . Joe Sheehan . Ormond captain and best player afield in the first half, injured his knee early in the third quarter and was replaced . Brian Manuel, John Brady and Ken Melville were stars for the Blacks .

The last quarter was played in drizzling rain with Blacks taking a one point lead with about a minute to go .

Then Jack Boland Ormond rover, marked 40 vard s out and the bell went . Boland walked straight back, and without hesitation sent a torpedo punt right through the middle to give Ormond a five point victory and their first ever 'A' section premiership for which officials Les Smith .

Doc Porter . Roy Smith, George Frew, Coo Hatton and Fred Yewdall had worked so hard .

: 2 n terms of stages, earlier stage .-- in, focus Ion enhancing self-awareness factors (knowing their own individual strengths and weaknesses), as these are important in recognising critical factors for their performances .

Performance plans are then developed which can be monitored and evaluated in training situations prior to final utilisation in games .

Knowing your ideal performance states (IPS) - knowing the conditions and situations which lead us to our ideal performance state is an extremely powerful factor . Every athlete can remember a superb game when they played in the zone' - when everything they planned came off, when they seemed to play above themselves, when things were almost in slow motion - this is the IPS! Knowing your IPS provides important information about optimal pre-game routines, state of arousal, refocusing strategies, types of effective self talk, effective concentration cues, etc .

Optimal performance is quite individual and differs markedly for each athlete - a factor that the astute coach must juggle successfully .

IPS advises us how each of the mental skill components integrates to produce our optimal performance and gives us the state we can recreate in the future . IPS tells us a great deal about our athletes . At the same time, athletes are encouraged to regularly evaluate and monitor all their performances .

Fostering team harmony and cohesion - for many athletes (in both individual and team sports), a strong feeling of team-belonging is central to their own enjoyment and fun and ultimately success in their sport . The astute and successful coach recognises the iniportance of effective communication channels as well as team building by carefully planning team development, social activities, leadership and initiative opportunities . Coaches might consider regular dinners and camps to sup-

p1el)ient iam cohi ion . The importance of team cohesion cannot be over estimated given the 'insurance behaviour' it provides when athletes are placed under pressure : when required to cope with set backs and obstacles which present themselves throughout ones career (eg. performance slumps, momentum breaks) . The social support provided by the team has also been shown to be an important factor in successfully rehabilitating athletes after injury . The value of team cohesion was evident in the positive and successful culture reflected by the Australian swimmers in Perth for the recent world championships and has been suggested as a factor in the outstanding success of the squad .

Mental toughness reminders - the quote in last week's Coaches Clipboard referred to the view that coaches rarely establish targets and plans when focusing on psychological readiness or mental toughness . In terms of readiness and toughness, Canadian Olympic basketball coach Jack Donoghue uses what he calls the ICE approach : I for Intensity : when practicing and playing, all athletes give everything they have got for the duration of practice .

C for concentration: athletes leave behind all their frustrations and hassles when they come to the game or practice - they come ready to play.

E is for enthusiasm : athletes come with a positive attitude, wanting to work hard, willing to support each other and to have an enjoyable time .

Is your team that ready? What can you do to niake sure they are mentally tough and ready to perform and succeed?

Good Coaching!

ITWEAI21 SENIORS PRELIMINARY FINAL LINI BLACKS -v- PARKSIDE Uni Blacks advanced to the Grand Final in convincing fashion over Parkside . They set up the win early in proceedings by establishing a 5 goal lead which Parkside was unable to bridge . It was a vastly different Blacks unit from that which looked so uninspiring the previous week, with a few changes in personnel proving decisive .

Wilson exerted his influence early, though not in the manner were more familiar with, though he went on to finish with 4 goals, and Parkside couldn't really find a match for him . They missed Hockey's impact and had fewer options on the interchange bench than the Blacks, who rotated players continually throughout the mateh . This trend will no doubt continue today against Yarra Valley, who used the tactic effectively in the second semi-final . Apart from an attitudinal adjustment, the keys for the Blacks were their height advantage ability to spread the load amongst a variety of runners . Additionally, the performance of some of their 'lesser lights', some of whom had been promoted from the reserves, was critical .

Diamond, Brown and Smith all looked to have earned their spots for the big one, while Ben Costello's job on the dangerous Wise was also notable. McCall worked valiantlv in the ruck against Laffy . and Moodie (wing) and Reginato also typified the Red Devils' commitment . They fought hard as afways, and Matthews created opportunities in the forward line, however the Blacks maintained their consistency to win by a comfortable margin .

RESERVES P SIDE -v- YARRA VALLEY OLD BOYS Yarra Valley enjoyed an early lead courtesy of their running fleet and led by plenty at half time .

In typical fashion . Parkside slowly but surely fought their way back to trail by a solitary point at the last change. They continued their surge to take the lead with only minutes remaining, only to watch in horror as a clumsv . rather than violent collision placed Yarra Valley in the goal square and the game beyond doubt .

GRAND FINAL IJNI BLACKS -v- YAR12A VALLEY OLD BOYS Both sides deservedly will contest the grand final after finishing first and second after the home-and-away matches in a very tight competition . There are many similarities in their styles

of play, with both possessing plenty of skilful runnin gplayerswhoi l enjoy the healthy amount of space that Central Reserve offers . The Blacks perhaps have a little more experience in terms of age, although Yarra has tasted ultimate success more recently and combined with the week's break, should discount any influence this may have. Yarra will go into the match favourites after disposing of the Blacks in the second semi in ominous fashion .

They will enjoy a height advantage that appears to be the decisive factor, at least at first glance .

The Blacks are not without their markers, indeed their spine reads pretty well . It will be the difficulty to manage the extra tails that Yarra employs at either end that will cause problems, The Bushrangers were able to keep Wilson fairly quiet after half time and if his influence is minimal, the Blacks may struggle for options up forward . as Yarra rebound well from the back half through their running players, and more decisively through their marking. Caccaviello can expect another tag, and together with Bowder and Laffy. I think his output will be critical . Yarre won the centre clearances last time, and if this continues I feel that sheer weight of opportuni ties for their forwards will see them win . The~ will probably be more settled than the Blacks with the risk of running out a little flat followin ; a week off the only concern . The Blacks put thei faith in a more evenly-spread system last weels which paid dividends . This approach must con tinue if they are to win, along with a similar levf of aggression and commitment in and aroun the packs . Some inclement weather probabl wouldn't hurt either . In all, it would be unwise t tip against Yarra, though the Blacks are a re~ show, and they know this . Yarra by 22 points .

RESERVES iT.NI BLACKS -v- YARRA VALLEY OLD BOYS With both clubs involved in the main gam neither side will hold any advantage in terms 'stacking' . As in the senior match, similar styl, for both sides, with plenty of runners and a hig Iv-skilled encounter anticipated . The Blacks m have a slightly stronger list from which choose, and given their higher finishing positic I believe they will win by 28 points . Yarra's st ring win last week may help keep their passi burning, but this may not be enough.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER ;

by C1 ~-,: & GrGa9a a 速a速 s 速 Reigning A Section Grand Final umpire Mark Gibson was named as the VAFA's Umpire of the Year at the Annual VAFA Vote Count last week. This criteria for this year's award was much different . The Umpires' sub committee along with representatives from the VAFA Coaches' Association voted on five nominations before announcing the winner . The nominations were : Jamie Kvins. 29 who began umpiring in 1985 and has officiated in Ballarat, the VSFL, the Diamond Valley Football League and the VAFA . He umpired the C Section Grand Final last year and has spent season 2000 in A Section , Dirk Kramer, 26, began umpiring in 1991 and has spent his entire career in the VAFA . He was a member of the VSFL Umpiring Academy in 1994 and 1995 . Kramer won the Most Improved Field Umpire Award in 1999 and made his A Section debut in Round 1 2000 .

Wayne Hinton . 42, began umpiring in 1976 and spent several seasons at the AFL where he umpired five senior games . He's umpired several A Section Grand Finals and officiated in last year's B Section Grand Final . He has once again been a successful A Section umpire in 2000 .

Craig O'Donoghue, 24, joined the VAFA in 1992 . He was a member of the VSFL Academy from 1994-97 and won the 1997 Golden Whistle Award . He has been nominated to trial at VFL level three times and was an A Section regular in 2000 .

And then there was the winner. Gibson began umpiring with the VAFA in 1989 after six years with the VFA . He's umpired two A Section Grand Finals and umpired the representative game against South Australia earlier this season . As mentioned previously, he had won a previous Umpire of the Year award but said this year's recognition meant more . "I think so because it's the VAFA's award . I was terribly honoured and it was a huge thrill . I'm sure it will mean more to me as the years go on and I look back . It will have a lot of history with it and there'll only be one inaugural winner which is something special" . VAFA Umpires Advisor Michael Sneddon said Gibson fully deserved 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2000

the top honour. "He's the i consumate professional .

He structures his work so he can get down here early for training to practice his skills . It doesn't matter what games we give him, he never complains . We could ask him to umpire an under 19 game by himself on the Saturday and back up again on the Sunday and he'll do it.

Anything we ask him to do he does because he's so professional with the way he conducts himself. He's got a fantastic rapport with the clubs and the players and most of all he's a good umpire . " Matt Cox may have stumbled across a new diet . He umpired a reserves game last weekend and headed across the road after the match for a few quiet ales and some dim sims . But, the field umpire in the senior game, Cameron Stewart, injured his ankle in the second quarter and couldn't complete the game . The other reserves fieldy, Rick Love, had to catch a flight interstate so he couldn't help out, which forced Matt back into action . . .once he'd finished his lunch !

The Lygon Street Bounce Off Grand Final was held on Thursday night but due to deadlines we have no idea who won . We can tell you it was between Daniel Halliwell and Kevin Segota . Halliwell defeated Mark Gibson 294 to 255 in the preliminary final while Segota knocked off reigning champion Craig Brajtberg 336-309 . Segota is a former Bounce Off champion while Halliwell enters his first Grand Final .

Q UALITY INSURANCE AT A SPORTING PRIC E

`~~,_,~ '4nally, after 744 quarters of footy, the ulti--. mate, the Holy Grail, is up for grabs! Well done to the eight clubs whose season ended over the past few weeks but a hearty congratulations to both the Williamstown CINS and Power House Football Clubs . Both clubs set the standard, both on and off the field and it is little surprise that they have supplied both grades finalists . A special well done to the respective Presidents . Tony Ryan (W) and Craig McFarlane (P), whilst one will be celebrating and one will be commiserating on Saturday night, hopefully you will be able to reflect back on a job well done!

Review Seniors A cracker jack of a first half set up what appeared to be a titanic struggle in the second .

Alas it wasn't to be as Williamstown cranked i t up in the premiership quarter and put the game beyond doubt . The first half was a free flowing affair with both midfields willing to push forward . Richmond had the ascendancy, mainly through Macak on a wing and Andonopoulos in the midfield . Willy kept in touch early through the efforts of D3 B+F winner, Dumbo Williams who had snagged 3 by the first break . Richmond got out to a 2 goal lead in the second quarter, despite relatively little input from O'Sullivan who was being tagged by Daisy Williams . Just when it looked like Richmond was setting up a win, in stepped Dumbo once again to help get it squared up . Willy jumped from the gate at the start of the third quarter, the likes of midfielders Featherston, Phemister and Cocks dominating .

Even a brief surge by the brilliant Siwka wasn't enough to quell the onslaught . Whilst Williams kept his side in it for the first half, it was 'Super" Twist and Lee who dominated up forward for the victors in the second half . An ideal preparation for a Grand Final .

Reserves The Craig Richardson inspired Power House twos were also able to record a convincing victory as they defeated a gallant Uni High . The redoubtable Pavlou once again led from the front with four goals whilst Batty . "Match Day Warrior" Hall and Clarke were also good for the House .

Preview Extremely fitting that the twos side's should meet . Talent, discipline and commitment, plenty

of going around on Saturday !

Backs Both sides have strong backlines who whilst providing drive also are rock solid . The House have the aggressive Doe Morris in the last line of defence, an absolute miser when it comes to full forwards . He is capably supported by D3 team of the year member, 'Junior' Senior and Turner. For Willy, the key backmen include Hynes and Hart, two players rarelv beaten !

Midfields Top sides always have strong engine rooms and this case is no different . The House are led well by Rolls, the Burt brothers, McCrae, Rampling (if fit) and Robertson whilst Willy will rely on the spark of Cocks and the hard work ethic of Daisy Williams and Featherson . Also like the looks of Matthews, his evasion skills will be important in the cut and thrust of a GF. Forward s Both sides have a cast of thousands up for ward . The House are led by Captain Craven (an( VAFA All Star) at CHF. A great leader who rarel) is subdued . His partner in crime is `Dougy Searle, centurion and all round nice guy! Lloyc adds another string to the House bow, an athlet ic big man who is not easily matched . At th other end, Dumbo Williams is "The Man", he wi' be out to atone for a relatively quiet second sem Other key forwards up front for Willy include th dynamic duo . Twist and Lee, and the cieve Wouda . Preliminary finalist debutant 'Magii Moora might be the X Factor.

Rucks Willy will throw the likes of Sadler (if fit) an Toby at the much improved House ruckmai "Sticks", in what could be a key match up .

Coache s Dumbo and Kev Barnes. Both no nonsens low key coaches who have been the catalysts their clubs great seasons .

Match Ups Morris on Dumbo Williams, Turner on Twi ; Daisy Williams on Rampling/McCrae, Hart Searle, Hynes/Sadler on Craven .

Result Ummm? The House have a midfleld th eventually overran Willy in the second semi, t h THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2

have about 8 players that are capable of running all day and this might prove to be the telling point . On the other hand . Willy got close in the previous game without a huge output from their star forwards . Should be a great game, I nominated the House early, and whilst I have no will ingness to part with any folding, must stick with them .

TWOS Sean Quinn has moulded a classy two's side down at Willy. A strong (if not decisive win) in the second semi will see them start favourites in the big one. Dowsey is the key up forward for them . maybe Jimmy Hall will be his dancing partner for the day . Despite the Houses good win on the weekend, Willy for me and consequently a one/one split for the day .

Aftermath Both clubs have plenty to celebrate and have big weekends planned . Willy are opening up the social rooms after the game whilst the Ross Gregory will come alive with a spit roast on the Saturday evening and a BBQ on the Sunday. All welcome .

a column for everyone in Amateur Football with Brad Beitze l

Grand Final Day at EE ELSTERNWICK Park has hosted VFL matches, soccer, cricket and VAFA football .

At high noon on A Section Grand Final day it is transformed from a sleepy suburban footy ground to a social occasion . Entry is by car or foot . The former is dominated by a European flavour and as they gather on the Glenhuntly Road knoll it is like a prestige usedcar lot . As if it were the members' car parks at the races, boot picnics spring up .

Watching proceedings from the VAFA boardroom are the association's administrators, VIPs and sponsors readying themselves for the luncheon . It is the material that the Coodabeen Champions love to milk on their comedy show at the Amateurs' expense .

The VAFA though embodies the ethos of Australian Football : The game of the people for the people and anyone with the $8 admission and a picnic basket can join in while enthusiastic supporters encourage the reserves .

The official luncheon has a convivial atmosphere too . The association's treasurer Noel Rundle sets the ambience with his down-to-earth personality that complements the grass-roots football he has served for 36 years . Occasionally over the din of conversation is Noel's distinctive baritone voice . A first time meeting would not suggest he is a successful chartered accountant . You would think with a voice like that he had missed his calling to be an auctioneer .

Never far from Noel is John Dillon - the VAFA's honorary lawyer and Patron .

A tall man John will be particularly noticeable today as his two sons Andrew and Rob Dillon will line up for the second time together in a grand final for Xavs . Regardless of the result, as long as his boys do their best, Jack will be content .

One of the characters your sure to meet is the VAFA's answer to the corps de commissionaire, Mr an Munro . The well-spoken and immaculately presented Mr Munro is a mystery . Nobody seems to know how he funds the upkeep of his high standard of grooming .

To contrast the formal is the casual president .

Here's a hyphened name the Coodabeens would just love . Mr Andrew Langford-Jones, retiring president of the VAFA .Funny thing if they were to interview him they wouldn't be able to tell he went to Haileybury (when the senior school was still at Brighton) because he has a laconic-speaking style . But when AL-J delivers the formal speech at lunch expect a headmaster's tone . It is hard to believe that he is the opposite in his day-to-day life . In my first interviews with AL-J I've rarely met someone so guarded . Now he talks like I'm in the lounge room of his private golf club . i~ THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2000

-.-- :c Park

Nearby is one of the VAFA's patrons, Mr Alex Johnson OAM . He casts a powerful yet kind figure with his robust torso. Mr Johnson was the first member of the VAFA hierarchy to smile at me and considering some of the stories I was generating he was the only one . It took a season for me to learn that Mr Johnson and I went to Melbourne High and maybe that was the reason he smiled ? I wonder if Mr Johnson will smile next time as I haven't seen him since I blew Peter Daicos out of the Unicorns' team a month ago with an interview I did with Steve Price ?

In the front office busily organising is Brett Connell . Pushing 30 and receiving a promotion to be General Manager of Football Operations of the VAFA, Brett, had to retire from Ormond where he was part of the Menders' incredible run in the 1980s . He makes up for his lack of match practice with his darting around the office foyer - it's as if he is still coming off the halfback line in the 1990 premiership .

At the opposite end of the foyer is Sue Anderson .

You meet few as tranquil as Sue . You can't help but like her despite her passion for the Pies . Sue stay healthy and chalk up 60 years with the Rovers .

Peter Harris, duty officer, is an easy man with which to build a rapport . Twenty years of the crashing of bodies on the footy field and another decade of running as an umpire have left Peter with a walk that is something like that of Shaggy out of Scoobie Doe the cartoon series . It hurts to watch but Peter assures you he's not in pain . You wouldn't know if he was 'cos blokes like Peter keep that info to themselves.

Some personalities like Phil Stevens, the VAFA's chief executive officer I would like to tell you about but I'm running out of room .

So if you want to know about Phil, the other members of the executive and the never ending personalities throughout the VAFA then you'll have to wait until next year when hopefully For the Love of the Game returns , With the spring sun peeping through, a zephyr from nearby Elwood beach flowing overhead, this is one of Melbourne's better kept secrets : the cross-section of people on grand final day at Elsternwick Park.

Brad Beitzel has covered the VAFA for the Sunday Herald Sun for the past three seasons . This season he has written A Section and For the Love of the Game for the Amateur Footballer. This year Brad has been invited to his first Grand Final Luncheon .

, f you were running a book at the start of the sea, son and asking punters to nominate the two teams most likely to meet in the D4 Grand Final in 2000, Bentleigh and South Melbourne would have been short priced favourites . And that's how things turned out with the two clubs new to the Amateurs both earning promotion .

REVIE W South Melbourn e earned their ticket out of D4 with a convincing win over Syndal Tally He out at Scammell Reserve . The Districts were able to skip away to a handy break early before an arm wrestle developed in the second term as the defences got on top and the two midfields fought for aseendancv. South eventually broke the deadlock with a couple of quick goals until the Synners hit back to answer late in the term meaning South held a more than useful lead at the main change .

However after the break it was all South Melbourne as they ran away with things . The work of Jacobs, McDonald and Downing across the half forward line provided the Districts with targets while McGee continually put himself in the right place to hold up the Synners forward moves .

Others such as Daly, Hogan and Rosowski also bobbed up at crucial times for the South and this depth over the ground was a key to their win .

Cachia . Rutter and Dix all battled on for the Syndal side whilst the likes of Bingham and Vanderkruk looked threatening at times but just could not win enough of the footy to seriously hurt their opposition . In the end a thirteen goal win was the perfect tonic for the Districts going into today's Grand Final .

PRE-VIEW So all that's left for the year is the big one as the Bentleigh Demons meet South M elbourne Districts in a fight for the premiership cup .

Bentleigh will go into to this with their tails up courtesy of a comfortable win in the second semi final, but the South side will take plenty of heart from the fact they outscored the Demons in the second half of that match and then went on to a big win last weekend . The battle of the centre and through the middle of the ground will be the key to the outcome of today's clash . After half time two weeks ago the Districts began to win the ball from out of the square and looked a different side .

However the presence of Chris Sharp looms large in the Bentleigh forward line and if the Demons

midfielders can get the ball to him wit h any sort of system -: then another big ba g is on the cards . Sharp's performance, particularly in the first half, the last time these sides met was absolutely exceptional and if he gets the same supply today the only way for South to stop him may be a sniper on the grassy knoll! McGee has been terrific for the Districts in recent weeks and will need to again position himself in the right spot to hold up Bentleigh . South Melbourne's forwards such as Wright, Hall and Downing will be looking to get on top of Eyles and Martin early and try to temper the Demons run from the back half .

Despite the lopsidedness of the scoreboard in t . Ifhsecondmifaltwbedrnsoy s hard to see too many backwards steps being taken by either team and if the Districts can hot( Bentleigh early on things could be tight all day However if the big guns of the Demons take ovei as they did last start a similar result is more thar likely . Although South will give their all it's to( hard to go against Bentleigh given their recorc throughout the year and they should take a fla! with them to D3 next season .

RESERVES N orth Brunswick sent Werribee out ii straight sets last week as they got on by fou points in the prelim to win their win into today' Grand Final against St Marys, The Saints wer convincing winners in the second semi final an deserve favouritism going into this matcl Papanikolaou will be the key for North up forwar whilst Burt and Rousis proved dangerous for 1 Marys two weeks ago . The Saints look to be Ili ones to beat and I'll get on the favourite and with them today .

PRESS CORRESPONDENTS

Thanks again for your efforts this year and I have one more go at thanking Dean Richards fro : Bentleigh for his work throughout the season !

Review Section 1 W at a fantastic game of pressure football we saw on Saturday with both coaches making strategic opening moves . Xavs with Quinn to FF (replacing McDonnell) a quick, tallish, hard running. high leaping player - success 2g in the lst quarter. Coach Brown had Adamis one out in the forward 50m against his much smaller opponent Bonadio - success 2g in the lst quarter.

That quarter was fought out in two halves - the first with Xavs dominating then O .B .'s running the ball and opening spaces all over the ground .

The 2nd quarter saw Xavs kick 3 majors with Calmasi bagging 2 and Davies 1 . O .B .'s was goalless! Bonadio was simply outstanding, continually punching or marking the ball in front of Adamis and running tizrough the lines to relieve the pressure . Fantastic stuff. This turned out to be the decisive quarter. The 3rd quarter saw the dangerous McCarthy finally shrug off Dickerson to take 3 magnificently contested grabs in packs and deliver the necessary 'clutch' goals . O .B .'s had switched Ginnavin to FF, pushed all forwards up the ground and had Maguire moving t into the space provided, for 2g. Only lOpts in i .B .'s .

Twice O - the last quarter was unbelievable got within 3pts through goals to Holt & Maguire but the finals professionals were able to steady and maintain that buffer to run out by 15pts .

Section 2 Whitefriars have been playing some scintillating football over the last six to seven weeks, but looked nervous and a bit off key in the first half against Old Scotch . The Friars' skills were down and they continuously turned over the ball when faced with the unrelenting pressure applied by their opposition . At half time Scotch held onto a well deserved nine goals to three lead and looked like they would stroll into the Grand Final, but the Friars had different ideas and came out with all guns blazing in the third quarter . Key defender Andy Baker went forward to kick five goals in . the second half . while players such as Alexander Barugh and Janson all lifted to put the Friars in with a chance at victory . To their credit Old Scotch withstood the challenge and held onto their lead and eventually ran out winners by sixteen points . Scotch's goal-scoring combination ofo Beaurepaire and Brooke kicked three and tw ___i_ _---ti-1v while Wilson-Humphries was

best afiel d and well supporte d as usual by the likes of Rodski and Hosking . In what was a trying year for the entire club the Whitefriars should be congratulated on a job well done .

Section ( 2) Blue This game was obviously played in 2 halves .

The Ormond team cam out firing in a very physical manner and proceeded to knock the St . Leos Boys off their feet, scoring a 5g to zip opening . Leos lead. Things continued to get worse for St with Ormond booting the first 2g to get to a 44pt the next 2g but lead . St . Leos were able to kick Ormond replied with 2 more . Obviously spectators and probably player's alike thought - how far Ormond? But the 'never say die' St . Leo<, Boys began to claw their way back into the game Through Wood, they began to take control in thf ruck and winning the ball through the centrf and around the packs . Kelly was now proving tcc be extremely dangerous around half-forwar and the forward pockets . The Dig FF McKebegan to have a real impact on the game, boot ing 6g and relieving Wood in the ruck . Also th move of Cullen to be loose across half-back an staying a kick behind the play, proved too tellin! because he continually repelled Ormond's attac in the 2nd half. Best for Ormond was Damie Casey across halfback and congratulations fi winning his team s best and fairest . For St . Lec

a great team effort !

Section (2) Re d In a game played out in near perfect conc tions the North Old Boys managed to turn ( their best to beat Old Essendon and gain a we earned place in this year's Grand Final . C Essendon began the game well but the NO soon gained the lead but could never pul s . They lead by four point lfromtheipsn the first break, ten at the half . five at three qu ter time, and finally claimed victory by just points . With only five minutes to play NOBs by a sizeable nineteen points and were look like they were home, but too their credit 0 never gave up and came storming back . b miraculous turn of events Old Essendon go tquickgoalswhenCmdtobrak : from his opponent to score and then Hakim, awarded a free kick and subsequently kicke j_oal without the ball having even gonebacl

he centre . With less than a minute remaining DEG had a chance to steal victory but missed and the NOBs clung onto the two point win . For the winners Mullins was best-afield kicking three goals, while Delahunty kicked six and was among the best along with Kean. Maplestone and Glover . And for Old Essendon . Hakim was a welcome addition to the lineup kicking eight, while Jinks finished up a solid year with another great effort and was ably supported by Frazer and Slater.

Preview Section 1

For all those Bombers and Blues supporters that can't get into the G, come down to Parkdale to witness this Under 19 blockbuster between the competition leaders and the finals professionals . There is one thing for certain - Marini 's Old Xavs team will not be blown away .

Remember the 2nd Semi? SKOBS could have put Xavs away in the last but Xavs would not lie down and fought the game out to the end (6g last term) . When looking at the match-ups . I wondered whether O'Shannassy had fired off all his surprise moves i .e. Rigby to FB & Pullen tagging.

Has Manni given away a possible surprise by starting Quinn at FF? I wasn't sure, so I consulted coaches Brown . King and O'Connor for their pre-game special comments . The consensus seemed to be that Xavs had to try and 'bottle up' SKOBS to put as much pressure on the ball carrier as possible (through tackles, shepherds, smothers) and to cut down 'turn overs' to a bare minimum . They felt that SKOBS were too disciplined, run harder, too even across the field, use the ball better and are harder at the ball . I agree! Maybe Manni should throw caution to the wind - relv on in form defenders Bonadio, Curtain & Harbeck, open up the FWD line and hope that you win across the middle . Good luck!

Section 2 In this year's Grand Final Beaumaris take on Old Scotch at Toorak Park . Armadale . With an impressive eighteen wins and only one loss for the year the Sharks are red hot favorites going into the big game, but they should be reminded that no matter how impressive their season has been so far it will be viewed as a disappointment if they don't win this week . They also won't be forgetting that way back in round four Old Scotch was the only team to beat them, when Scotch kicked inaccurately but managed to hang onto a thrilling two point victory . Since then the Sharks have beaten them twice ; in round thirteen by twenty-five points when Scotch again was extremely inaccurate, and then again and more importantly in the second-semi final by 16 points . Beaumaris have been too good, too consistent, for way too long. for me to even think of tipping against them . but just so I cover all

bases, we should remember that Scotch stayed with the Sharks for three quarters in the second semi just a little under two weeks ago so it most definitely isn' t beyond them . It what will be a great game of football I'm going for Beaumaris to win by 20 points .

Section 2 Blue The 'never say die' St . Leos face the all-conquering South Melbourne Districts at Bentleigh Recreation Reserve . On paper you would think and rightly so, that the District Boys should win fairly comfortably. With the likes of the goal kicking machine Cheevers (105g) in front . aided by the likes of Tsicadaris (64g), the competition best and fairest Aquilina and runners Skinns, Wood and Brown . But let us take a closer look at what has happened between these 2 sides . It was St . Leos who inflicted the Swans first defeat wav back in Round 11 . They were the first team to show the others in Blue Section that the Swans were not invincible, that under sustained pressure and especially scoreboard pressure, they could be beaten . That day Irvin bagged 8g and McKean 3g and they had 6 other goal kickers . Last Saturday it was McKean (6g) and Irvin (3g), aided by 8 other goal kickers that did the damage. For St . Leos to win, they will need to spread the goal kickers amongst at least 8 players with the main two getting at least 10 majors .

Unfortunately, I just can't see how St . Leos can shut down the Swans big 3 for the entire game .

This match should go down to the wire but for me, the District Boys will get up - too big, too strong and too disciplined .

Section 2 Red With the inclusion of the likes of Rupertswood and Old Essendon, and both team's early season dominance one could be excused for thinking that the chances of a repeat of last year's Grand Final would be unlikely . Yet to their credit both Old Camberwell and the North Old Boys have overcome all other opposition to clash at the Garvey Oval, Bundoora in the big one . The North Old Boys have been consistent all year and despite finishing in fourth place was always going to be a contender for the flag, as their ladder position reflected the evenness of the top four teams rather than any major failing on their part . Old Camberwell had a good start to the season but were by no means flag favorites, the second half of the year saw them change gears to show that they had what it takes to win another premiership . In their two meetings this year the teams have split the games : way back in round one the NOBs ran out easy winners by thirty-two points, then the Wells started to find real form in their round ten clash winning by five points . In a game that really could go either way I'm going for the North Old Boys to continue to play good football and win the 2000 premiership by 1 goal.

This Sat: 26 August B Section Grand Final This Sun : 27 August A Section Grand Fina l

Investigation Results -_A-gust 22nd 2000 Bentleigh and South Melbourne Districts boll charged with a melee in their senior matel played on August 12th at Scammell Reserve .

Both clubs accepted the prescribed penalty c $ 100 (1 st offence over a three-year period) .

EXCHANGE OF AC U LISTS AT TOS OF" '01N It is an expectation that captains at the toss of the coin exchange a copy of the teamlist.

Failure to do this results in automatic fines for the offending elub .

It has also been reported that as a ploy inaccurate lists are being handed over .

Both Parkside and Salesian 0 C charged with melee in their senior match played on Sunda August 13th at Glen GVaverley .

Charge proved . Both clubs fined $300 an Parkside to pay suspended fine of $750 .

South Melbourne Districts charged with miscor duct in that as the umpires were walking off tl ground a derogatory and descriptive sexual con ment was directed to the female umpire by a pe son in the South Melbourne Districts group .

Club to pay a good behaviour bond of $500 ar apologised to the umpire which was accepted .

The Executive will enforce fines if this ploy is proven to be true .

Any club that feels an opposition club has been negligent in this area needs to express in writing (attention Phil Stevens) their concerns .
