~ASSOCIATION Registered,i posting as a Publication. Category`B

Last week our president Bruce Me'E4- ;_?L:: - wrote a lovely piece about my leaving the VAFA after 16 years as the Association's Chief Executive Officer .

I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the emails and comments from people over the last couple of weeks since my announcement became public knowledge. My request to the Executive and staff was that my departure be free of "fuss and fanfare", but I must say I was particularl y moved by Bruce McTaggart's, Nick Bourke's and Andrew Langford-Jones' ST -;- ;: comments at the Vote Count Night, as well as the many genuine best CHIEF EXECUTIVE wishes from many who were at the Vote Count . I can say 1s a OFFICER "g=iazak you" .

I will explain today the reasons for my departure and my hopes for the future, and then I expect he last weekend of the season to be "Phil-free" (apart from calling out the names of the players io receive the premiership medallions) and we can all enjoy the excitement of the Amateur grand linal weekend .

I have always held the view that in such a vibrant and tren such as the VAFA, that to sit in the chair as the CEO until the old grey beard reaches the floor would not be good for the VAFA, and from first hand observations of similar situations in school environments, where I spent a fabulous first 16 years of my working life, and other sporting bodies, I made a personal vow to myself long ago I would not let that happen in my case . I also wanted to take an opportunity, if one came along, to take on a fresh challenge that is different to the football environment that offers weekends back for personal pursuits . Heavens, if I hadn't taken this opportunity not many more would came my way - 54 next week, but let's keep that a secret !

So I go to hopefully rediscover the joy of watching football matches in 2005, without the weight of "being on duty" and look fonvard to contributing in some way "post-2005" to the VA FA, either at the highest level or via a club involvement .

Thank you to all who have made my job so fulfilling and challenging, and if I leave with the place judged to be in as good a condition, or better than it was when I first walked in the door, I am truly satisfied .

7antastic Vote Count and Presentation Night last Monday evening and it was great to see so many players rewarded for their efforts over the season . Well done to the club officials and players for representing themselves and their clubs so well . To the VAFA Executive and sponsors :vell done on your contribution to one of "our nights of i&-Iits" .

Did they have enough decent Mitchell spent time on the bench and persisted defenders?

Were they too reliant on their Dan Jordra,= was battered from pillar to post skipper? Were there to many loose cannons by some pretty heavy bodies (though he still played OK did big Dan and pretty much in the side? And were they simply content to play second fiddle to the big boys?

Today they loom as a genuine threat to progress to an A Grade final . They are in form, have a full complement of players to choose from and their opponents look decidedly shaky . Last Sunday, Bernards were run off their feet, seemed to lack pace and some of their big names were real'-r shaken up .

Having said that, there's just one little thi n I can't get out of my head ; a demolition that took place in West Essendon on the Fifth of July . That day, St Bernards kicked 31 goals, Dan Jordan took about two dozen marks, and Trinity's backmen were shel shocked . Yes they had a host of players out and yes they evened up the ledger later in the year with a hard fought draw on a ground in a shambolic state but they may just struggle a tad with the guns from th Pit .

So much at stake today, such an appetising contest, Bernards by two goals but don't be surprised if Trinity pull off the most famous win in their 50 year history .

Bouquets Thanks to those who made this column possible, particularly Col Glover at De La, Matt Vernal at Whitefriars, Joe Sturrock at Uni and Brett Connell and Phil Stevens a headquarters . Thanks also to those people who took the liberty to have a crack at me, whether by email or in questionable pubs ; it really does brighten up my day and gets people talking about what is a well run and interesting competition . Special thanks to the walking rain cloud known only as Mr Pet (first name Mup?) who crawled out from under his rock to email me approximately 750 times per day with his dastardly dribble and who pretty much threatened imminent Armageddon anytime I tipped against his club . Enjoy your summer Mr Pet ; we'll resume hostilities when autumn comes . . .

To the victors go the spoils, congratulations to John Fogarty, Dave Murray, Tony Miller, Tim Hart, Rob Gross, Luke Mahoney and all the St Kevins players, officials and supporters on your victory on Saturday and the promotion back into A Grade that goes with it . A terrific performance after being relegated at the end of 2003 to re-group and go straight back up within 12 months .

F _: . .

How heartbreaking it must have been for the St Bedes Mentone-Tigers coaches, players and supporters when the final siren sounded the end of their season last Sunday. So close but yet so far. But as Russell Barnes was heard to say we gave it our best shot and just weren't quite good enough . You can ask no more than that .

Old Ivanhoe are happy to admit that they used up all their get out of jail free cards as they looked well and truly gonecvith 5 minutes to go, the Tigers had all the run, Luke Wintle and all the big guys were taking marks and they had a bench full of injured players . But the Tigers squandered a few opportunities kicking 4 points in a row to give the Hoers a chance . Still 9 points down with about 2 minutes to play saw Mark Luxon take the mark of the day and goaled to bring the margin back to 3 points . Somehow the ball again found its way into the safe hands of young Luxon and as he slotted it through the middle the Brown and Whites had booked themselves an appointment with Sportscover.

The smaller players of the Hoers kept them in the game with Stewart Low absolutely dynamite, Luke Lochran played a memorable 100th, Johnny Stevens had racked up 20 possessions by half time, Scott Curatolo yet to put in a bad one in 04 was king of the packs and the defence led by Jarred Gieschen and Chris Quinlan were rock solid . For the Tigers no one was better than little Michael "Mouse" Wintle, he received great support from James "The Stud" Drury while Osbourne was again a revelation up forward .

In the Ressies the Robbie Gross inspired SKOBS won a very hard fought battle against a very determined Old Brighton outfit . Ben Dollman put up his hand for a return to Senior ranks, with a BOG performance, receiving good support from Campagna, Katavolous and Jarred O'Keefe . For the Tonners ÂŁ7-it Reid was outstanding as was Big Pezza, Chris McNicholl had a crack and young

Brendan Crilly was also good .

SECOND SI-A FINAL As has been the norm for any clashe s between those two sides in 2004 St Levine and 'i s turned on another tight encounter. wins took the early lead and had opened up an break until an unfortunate send off allowed ! .ions back into the game as they kicked 5 i : savered goals to have the scores almost level at L ng break .

A t? ^zt third quarter ensured that the fight to be the first into A Grade would go down to the wire .

Collegians kicked the first one of the last to take a 7 point lead, until the SKOB Machine got the wheels into motion started to play the free flowing footy for which they are renowned and came away with a 5 goal victory against the gallant Lions, who live to fight another day.

Mark Brady and Luke Mahoney used their final's experience to advantage, little Tommy Simpson showed poise and maturity beyond his years winning a heap of hard ball, Mulgrew was handy with 3 twins, Paul O'Keefe and Dave Sheehy rock solid up back. Chard was classy, Bowles hard at it, and Perrett tough was the story of the Skobbers day .

Best thing was they won despite only having 17 men for half an hour.

NOBS set the tone for the day by beating Collegians and put some spark into a disappointing season for the club by advancing to the GF.

Power of a Negative Image Thinking is a complicated process. A process that can help you find a solution to a problem, or a process that can bring about the very outcome you hope to avoid .

Over the past few years golfers have been advised to have a strong pre-shot routine . This routine usually includes feeling the swing or putt, seeing the flight of the ball and several other elements designed to separate the thinking from the hitting aspects of a shot. The some applies to other set routine skills such as kicking for goal . You only have to watch Matthew Uoyd preparing for his set shots at goal to know what I mean . Unfortunately, many players include some very destructive aspects in their pre-shot routine. One of the most damaging of these is the negative image .

Remember that every time you think of what you want to avoid, you practice making that mistake . The way the mind processes information makes this nasty occurrence happen . Remember the old joke about "Don't think of a purple covi', and, of course, you have to think about that purple cow . You have to think about what you don't want to think about because part of the process is to clearly identify the subject, the purple cow . Of course, a cow is an object and not an action . If you think of an action, especially one that has a strong emotion attached to it, your mind will automatically begin to recall and/or create the experience .

Never ask yo ' to do what you don't want to do . This means that when yoi '~ of something your mind must process the thought down tc . he fibres of your muscles . When you think of a water hazard, and hitting it into the water, your mind processes the thought and you must mentally PRACTICE hitting the baIl into the water . It doesn't matter if you want it or not . If you think it, you practice it . Avoid the thoughts that force you to practice what you do not want to do . The best way to do this is to occupy

your thoughts with what you want . Focus on the centre of the goals (pick a specific target behind the goals), focus on the feel of a good goal kick, focus on the exact spot where you will put the ball. In the early stages of shot preparation, look up the field, at the target and where the mark is, but when you are ready to actually take your kick your thoughts must focus on the positive, on success . When it's time to kick the ball avoid all thoughts and/or images of failure .

Do not use thoughts such as: 'Watch out for the opposing players on the mark" . "Keep it out of the dead pocket", "I sure hope I don't kick it there again ." or "My last shot was far too short" . These negative thoughts force you to think about the very thing that you want to avoid . When you think it, you practice it . Confidently hold the image of the target and take your kick .

It would be ridiculous to believe that you can avoid or eliminate all of your negative images or thoughts. You do not need to fear having these images or thoughts, they will occur. What you can learn to control is the effect that the images have on your game .

You do this by controlling when you have them . This means that you control the sequencing of your thoughts . If. as you prepare to kick at the goals, you remember badly shanking a similar kick last week, don't panic . Simply remember to take an extra five seconds and immediately go to a positive image and recall a strong feeling of success . Refocus your mind on the target and execute the kick with all the confidence a good shot at goal requires . Never let a negative image or thought be your last image or thought before you kick . You will probably get what you mentally ask for, so don't ask for the negative, ask for success .

In 2004, MHSOB set themselves the task of an immediate return to B Grade competition and the minor premiers were rewarded for their stellar season, by halting the brave Ajax's Julian Ashers campaign and creating a Grand Final Kirzner wa s acknowledged as the leading sharpshooter, clash of salivating proportions . with 89 and Caulfield defended its title , PRELIAUNARY FINAL REVIEW claimed in 2003, by again being the umpire s Biblical type rain on the Friday night, meant oice, for C section's, Most Disciplined Club . for slippery conditions at Sandy and it was J-r T BIG ONE the Ashers, who made the early running , booting the opening goals of the contest .

behind a fortnight ago, when the Highs kicked themselves out of a potentially match winning lead . Over the three encounters, both have snagged 40 goals, so it's fair to say, little separates these teams . If the day is fine, we should be in for another sensational contest . The Unicorns boast enormous A and B Grade experience, that could prove vital when the game is tight . The Fielders play with great passion and perseverance and their tackling was a feature of their victory in the second semi . The side that takes the half chances will prevail in what promises to be a fast paced, free flowing contest of amateur football . The scribe has not done too well in

the finals tipping stakes and has had great difficulty in attempting to identify a winner for this epic . There is a lot to like about both teams, but having to select one, I am choosing the side with experience over youthful endeavour, MHSOB in a nailbiting thriller.

RESERVES Hampton welcome the Jackas, who have survived two cut throat finals and whilst the Jackas will enjoy the "home ground" advantage, the celebrations will be at Boss James tonight .

Always something that comes up in the hurly-burly of the game which has people momentarily (sometimes longer) scratching heads . When a player is "redcarded", this means he has been reported and is to be off the ground for 15 minutes, the time off the field only commences when an official of the offending team reports to the timekeepers who note THAT time . The timekeepers will then advise the official, UPON RE!@UEST, of the expiration of the 15 minutes of actual playing time whereupon the offending player or other player may take the field through the interchange area .

If an umpire "red cards" a player and wishes him to be off the field for the remainder of the game (and cannot be replaced), the umpire is to call over the offending player's runner and ask him to advise the coaching bench of this fact. Of course this event should only happen in the most extreme of circumstances .

® 0 0 A few weeks ago in "From My Desk" Phil Stevens reported on the framed "Big V" jumper that was "removed" from headquarters on a recent matchday .

FTLOTG has been told which club is involved but would still like the club to show some initiative in having it returned .

At this stage confidentiality is still assured .

0 ® ® It was good to renew the relationship with the Carlton Crest Hotel . Banquet and Convention Manager Scott Lovett who accepted an invitation to the night dropped this line - "Thanks again for the invitation . I had a great time and was glad to have the opportunity to mingle amongst the member clubs . I hope we can hold many functions for clubs as well as for the VAFA ."

In good faith, the unclaimed Carlton Crest Accommodation Package will be awarded to the person who correctly forecasts the total number of goals scored by both sides in this Sunday's senior preliminary final between St Bernards and Old Trinity . Emails to phil @ vafa .asn .au are to be received by 6pm Saturday evening . In the event of more than one person correctly nominating the total goals scored, the prize will be awarded to the earliest correct email received .

FfLOTG mentioned recently Old Geelong M ark Vickers-Willis's achievement of scoring 16 goals . In 1999 against Kew in round 15 Antony Rosen kicked 16 and then followed it up with 1S against Yarra Valley two weeks later. That 18th goal also gave Antony his 100th for that season .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2004 19

Amateur Footballer D I Section, Grand Finals Congratulations to Coach Greg Whitcroft & Team, Rick Brockwell & Committee, and all Supporters, on Banyule joining Blacks in C Section next year!

They've done the hard yards this year and have the talent coming through to be worthy contenders at that level . Well done also to Ormond's mercurial Michael Miller for taking out the 2004 L.S . Pepper Medal for the Section's B & F !

Many thanks to our Finals gate team of Michael, Alex, plus Chris, Warwick & Nick (the latter three being Caulfield Grammarians U19s, courtesy of their Coach and VAFA legend Geoff Reilley!) who have handled everything with stylish aplomb .

Thanks also to my fellow Duty Officers John Bell and Keith Sharkie, with whom it is always a privilege to serve ! : Box Hill City Oval PRE Banyule v Fitzroy Reds The rain dump on Friday night left the uncovered wicket square the consistency of black clag, and the practice nets area on the flank in front of the machinery shed cum visiting coaches perch was ankle deep in water. The rest of the ground held up quite well and by the time the Senior game started an 85% good footing rating applied . However, from the first bounce, it was obvious that the Bears were more at home on it than were the Reds, &, equally, the latter were in trouble countering the centre bounce drive of Dave Williams' hits outs to the hard running Brad Willmore . This became more pronounced in g2 when the defensive dash of Dave Gayfer & Adam Dooley dampened the Reds scoring opportunities while at the other end Luke O'Connell, Jayson Egan, Lorenzini & Co. gave the Bears a 32 point buffer which they built into the final 76 point final margin . There was no question that the intensity of the Reds' heroics in their energy sapping lst Semi win had left them drained for this game, and, while they never ceased competing, they were unable to counter the pressure applied by the Bears . Brad Willmore dominated the middle throughout for Banyule, Paul Gloury & Adam Dooley kept Ben Atherton & Vinnie Cahill quiet all day, BIG Dave's contribution was priceless as usual, -while Jason Plant and Dave

Gayfer were effective f stoppers and rebounders . Reds mentioned Abbott, Rawlins, & Cianci i n their top performers, but on the whole had an off day, without that detracting at all from their fine achievement of playing in a D 1 Preliminary Final in their promotion year .

RESERVE : Ormond v Old Mentonian s The Panthers turned on a 5 goal Q2 to take a handy lead in a low scoring match and somehow out scrambled the Monds in a nail biting Q4 to win a spot in the Flag play offl AND, by the predicted one point margin do you mind!!! The midfield trio of Ricky Ironmonger, Daryl Stevens, & Brendan Russo kept the Panthers' opportunities flowing all day . and Matthew Austin again toiled mightily in the Ruck . Chris Telley was effective through the middle for Ormond, while BP bookends, Brad Cormack & Jacob Dale, were their customary efficient selves, & winger Shane Metz also did well .

GRAND FINALS : Box Hill University Blacks v Banyul e So the big day has arrived, and it is great that D1 is once more back at Box Hill because it is such a superb venue for Amo finals . Weatherwise, it looks like being a repeat of last week with rain overnigh t

Friday/Saturday then clearing for the matches .

The firmer the footing the better it will suit the Blacks, but, it has to be said, Blacks are 19-0 this year after playing on & in all manner of grounds and climates, so they are quite adept at coping.

One advantage Banyule could have is, that they have played on BHCO, whereas Blacks have not, but since that doesn't seem to have worried UB through the H & A games it may not be a significant factor. The Grand Finalists are the two highest scoring sides in the competition this year with UB averaging 114 points from 19 games, and the Bears 101 from 20 . Points scored against figures are UB = 59, Bears = 71 . So, on points for and against averages YTD, Blacks rate as a 4 goals better side. Which, in a GF, means 4/5 of 5/8 of diddlysquat! What is critical, is control of the midfield, and there we have magnificent contests in store today . The two best ruckman, Chris Sandiford-UB, and Dave Williams-Ban, and the two best midfielders Andy Costello-UB and Brad Willmore-Ban! The Bears don't perhaps have a set of round the packs beavers like the Wog Squad of Bevaqua, Vilella, & Sibilia, but they do have the Taylor Bros, Cantwell, & Demetriou any one of whom could wreak havoc if left unattended .

Interestingly, for the two highest D1 score kickers, only Sean Lorenzini-Ban features in the Sharpshooters list, so neither side is overly reliant on any particular forward . What will be a worry for Banyule is the field kicking of this Blacks team : it is long and precise, so they move the ball furthe r

faster and with less effort than their opponents have this year. However, whichever way you look at it, Blacks have been the outstanding unit throughout and have to be favoured to win a sensational game (weather permitting) by 2-3 goals.

RESERVE: University Blacks v Old Mentonians Can the fairy tale fina's run of the Panthers continue? Of course it can, but Blacks' percentage for the year is more than double that of the Keysborough tribe and it would be a shock of worrying proportions if UB lost today . Blacks to win an entertaining match by 4-5 goals .

KNITWEAR Old Carey overcame their "Central Reserve Curse" scintillating 14-goalon Saturday with an overwhelmingly convincing 81 to-three second-half point victory over Old Geelong at Glen Waverley . last week and in The first quarter was quite a tight affair, with each doing so erased the side only registering a single goal apiece, defenc e painful memories lingering from their insipid finals ruling early on . An interesting ploy was initiated by failures against West Brunswick last year and the Old Geelong, starting glamour full-forward Mark Bullants a fortnight ago . The Panthers spent last Vickers-Willis in the centre square, but maybe this week facing the galling prospect of bowing out in rendered them impotent up forward . Respective straight sets but can now look forward to the full-backs Stinchcombe (OG) and Munro (OC) prospect of celebrating a premiership . But the asserted their authority during this period . Old Panthers viewed victory today as being less Carey dominated the first half of the second term important than their preliminary final win which and had skipped away to a five goal lead, with exensured promotion to D-grade next year . "It Richmond AFL man James "Jogger" White and (promotion) means a lot for the club," Old Carey Andrew Kent causing mayhem . However, the OG s committeeman John Raftopoulos said . "The club is responded positively to the gauntlet being thrown to finally moving forward ." With promotion achieved them, as they kicked the last three goals before hal f the Panthers are now hoping the players have their time to close the gap to 13 points . At this time, I efforts rewarded with a premiership . "Sometimes was pretty pleased with my prescience, having you think that the promotion game is for the club tipped this encounter to be a thriller, but I doubt and the premiership would be for the players," anyone would have expected what was to follow .

Raftopoulos said . While Old Carey's Grand Final Opening the third quarter against a slight breeze, plans were hatched prior to the season it was not Old Carey the game apart, kicking nine goals until the Bullants showed rapid mid-season to three, st seven unanswered, before Old improvement that they started looking at finals Geelong scr : :,Dled to stem the tide . Al Stewartaction and only in the last six weeks has that aim Holmes was particularly impressive during this been lifted to winning a flag . With 11 players new to spell for the Panthers, as was Nic Everett in the the club this season Bullants coach Steve Easton, a ruck, W110 ouipu ;.,toa +.F,, Oc'o IIuiay Legua fo r six time premiership coach in the Diamond Valley most of the day. "Jogger" White again was rampant . league, said the improvement was due to a"settling After that third quarter blitzkrieg, the final stanza down thing" and a combination of players was something of an anti-climax, also Old Carey communicating better on the field and his side's still meant business, skipper Al Parton imploring improved on-field organisation . Easton also praise d his troops to keep pushing and finish off the game .

The Panthers kicked five goals four to the OGs six behinds, with the usual suspects accumulating possessions at will, and Carey hardman Chris Battle continued to display his trademark tenacity and ferocity . In the end, the final margin of 81 points was a fitting tribute to an Old Carey unit that was fitter, quicker and more committed on the day .

the evenness of his side and said up to 10 players could win the club's best and fairest award this season. 'That's amazing really," he said .

Preview After defeating the Panthers a fortnight ago the Bullants are entering today's clash as underdogs but full of confidence . "There's no doubt Carey are favourites but we'll win," Easton said. But Easton's confidence should not be mistaken for arrogance .

"We've seen them three times and they've been really terrific twice," Easton said of Old Carey . "The third time (two weeks ago), it gave us a fair bit of hope that we could get the better of them ." The Panthers forwards struggled two weeks ago but the inclusion of the super-skilled James White today should improve their goal-scoring stocks. White was one of three players Easton said the Bullants would need to keep a watch on with the other two being midfield dynamo Andrew Kent and athletic ruckman Nick Everett. But Easton also rated "very highly" the Panthers' defence . "They're very disciplined and don't make too many mistakes at all," he said . But if they do then the Bullants, through Robert Williams and Jordan Wise who have kicked more than 90 goals between them and skipper Greg Chivers, have forwards who can make them pay on the scoreboard .But the Bullants forwards could be starved of opportunities if Old Carey trio Everett, Kent and competition best and fairest Allister Parton control the midfield . Combine their skills with the pace of wingman Chris Angus and Nick Vasilopoulos' run from the backline and the Bullants could well be run off their legs if they are unable to reduce the game to a tough and hard contest . But the Panthers of 2004 unlike their predecessors have shown they can slug out hard wins . Panthers' supporters will be hoping they can

show their new-found toughness again today because if they don't, then the Bullants will win their first premiership in 21 years . Prediction: Old Corey , 10 points.

I have been final win of the Krushers was good and whilst it impressed with his form earlier in the year and his didn't prove beyond doubt that they had the Rupo second half was an absolute cracker on the measure, it did go a long way down that track . The weekend . Very hard to call . Both sides had three big guns at Oakleigh are no doubt the dominant years and there are very few obvious mercurial Mackenzie, A Kitts and Captain weaknesses. I think that Rupo need someone to Bromley. All three are capable of match winning 'seize the day' for them to win . Whilst there are a performances and will be the subject of plenty of number of candidates, Oakleigh have a number of homework from the Rupo brains trust during the proven finals performers . Expect Rupo to be in week . Off course, it is not all about the three big front at the last break but the Kruhsers to wear guns. The Krushers had plenty of contributors them down in the last quarter to win ! during the year with the ever reliables in Britt, CORRESPONDENTS Furnell and Way leading the way .

® THE NON-CONTACT TEAM SPORT !

BDF_ Beiersdorf Australia Lt d Congratulations to both Old '(: esiLaurne an d Kew on their promotions to D3 . They were clearly the two bes t sides in the competition for 2004 and their promotion is just reward for the hard work of the players and coaching staffs. Well done also to Craig Mahony o n winning the D4 Best and Fairest Award and Afri m Odza for getting so close to causing a huge upset.

Congratulations also to Justin Horsburgh on taking out the goalkicking . Finally, well done to Horsburgh, Tinetti and Baker on their Coates MVP awards . To all my regular readers, I would like to thank you for your interest and if I happen to be promoted along with the Warriors next year, I wish all those remaining in D4 next season all the best in 2005 .

Review Senior Preliminary Final - Kew vs St .Masys It was a match that lived up to expectations with regards to the closeness of the result, however, the pressure of the occasion resulted in very low scoring and inaccuracy in front of goal. It was a scrappy opening with neither side able to gain the ascendancy as the Saints, through the good work of Wright and Dwyer, went into the first break a goal up . In the second quarter, however, St .Marys completely dominated proceedings but they were not able to convert this dominance onto the scoreboard as the Kew defence stood tall under the barrage . The match then changed complexion after half time, and it was the premiership quarter that saw Kew draw level as they put through four majors for the quarter as Tinetti and Lafranchi lifted a gear. In a tense final quarter, Kew seemed to do enough to jump ahead early, but the Saints refused to lay down . Ultimately though, it was not to be as Kew booked a ticket to the big dance by a mere 4 points .

Reserves Preliminary Final - Old Westbourne vs Elsternwick It was perhaps one of the biggest boil-overs of the season as Old Westbourne registered a memorable victory against the more highly fancied Elsternwick .

The Wickers managed to go with the determined Warriors for most of the first quarter, however, they began to fall away in the second, as Warriors Gerace, Bartolo and Moore dominated . With a lead three goal lead at the major break, the underdogs managed to keep the Wickers at bay and in a fitting tribute to club legend, Daniel Slattery in his 100th game, Westbourne joined their senior counterparts in the Grand Final with a sensational 20 point win .

Preview Senior Grand Final - Old West? :,irr_:z : ;rjc~ ; Kew

42

To quote an old cliche, two weeks in a long time in football, and today, Kew will be hoping that cliche will ring true . Three time s this year, Old Westbourne have met Kew in season defining matches, and three times this year, Old Westbourne have prevailed against the premiership favorites .

Having been at all three of those encounters, I have noted a common theme in every match . Kew begin well, and look as though they could run away with the match . Their taller players dominate early, utilise their superior aerial strength and bombard the Warrior defences . But in all three of these matches, the Warrior defence has withstood the assault . The more interesting trend though, is the fact that the Warrior machine does not click into gear until after half time, and it has been in the final quarter that the Warriors have used their fitness and superior leg speed to run over the top of a tiring Browns line-up .

So we enter today's match pondering the two very important questions . The first is as to whether Kew can again start well, but somehow covert this dominance onto the scoreboard . If they fail to do this early, you can rest assured that the Warrior fitness will prevail . The second is as to whether the young Warrior team will be able to stand up to the extra pressure of the club's first grand final or will the crumble like so many before them? The answers to these questions

will go a long way in determining who will win today's match .

There is no doubt that Browns coach Rohan Doherty would have noted his team's shortfalls in their losses to the Warriors, and as any good team will do, they will learn from their mistakes . Therefore I would expect everything but the kitchen sink to be thrown at the Warriors to open up an early lead, and this is where some may expect the Warrior young-guns to falter .

However, while I believe Tinetti and his troops will kick ahead early, be ready after half time for the inevitable Warrior charge . In what will become a very close match, I am sticking with my heart and predicting my beloved Old Westbourne to destroy my pre-season prophecy of a Kew premiership and close out a fairytale season with a memorable 5-point victory .

Reserve Grand Final - Kew versus Old Westbourne Today's game is an interesting match up given that Kew has thumped the Warriors twice this season, however, given last week's result, the Browns know they are a team not to be taken lightly.

Warrior coach Steven Leitch has worked miracles with his side this season, reviving the careers of many older Warriors whilst elevating the stature of many of his younger chargers . However, reversal of their previous two defeats is a mountain I think may be just too much for the determined Warrior outfit .

In Reserves football, everyone knows if you get in front early, it is rare that you will lose. And today this may be the Warriors downfall . I expect the experience of the awesome Kew juggernaught to get the better of the Warrior line-up of which none have experienced a Grand Final before . Before they know what has hit them, they will be five goals down and will not recover .

As such, I am picking Kew to make it a big double as they beat a gallant Westbourne by 29 points .

TEAM OF THE YEAR Thanks to those who emailed me their nominations, it did make the task a little easier . It was a tough task picking the team with so much talent available, but I think you will agree that players are deserving of their spot amongst such esteemed company . So without further ado, here (above) is the 2004 D4 Team of the Year.

Old Westbourne - Simon Christo plays his 150th club game for the Warriors today after he joined the club in 1992 . 78 of these games have been played at Senior level while has booting 158 goals for the club .

Sime has served on the Committee and his versatility allows him to play at both ends of the ground . He is wished well by all club members as he embarks on bringing home the clubs, first flag this afternoon .

Section One - Review entertained us all Preliminary Final throughout th e An absolute thriller at Parkdale to near-complete what season, and many L _ has been one of the tightest section-one seasons in thanks to Benny recent times, St Kevins coming back from a forty point for his committed reporting . deficit to defeat Werribee by six points . In a game that Grand Fina l looked all but over in the third term Coach Obee's side Collegians would have to be shorter favourites to knock completed one of the best comeback victories of the off Old Camberwell at Preston on Sunday than year, eclipsing their round two effort against Scotch Octagonal was to win the 1997 Australian Cup . Still, that has already entered club folklore . On the verge of stranger things have happened, and Section 2 has crashing out of the finals' series with a 0-2 record, thrown up so many upsets this year that I'm not Obee played his trump card to full effect moving banking the house on them today . 'fhe beauty of both O'Rourke to the forward line reaping instant dividends . these teams is their even-ness . Frankly, that's why Still five goals down at the final break Lynch and they've made it to the last match of the season, and Marchesani were inspirational in the last, Dowd and what a ripper it promises to be. For Old Camberwell, Gullifer ensuring SKOB's would continue their push Davis, Heffernan and Rigzin have hit sweet form at the right time of the year, and with Cottrell bobbing up last for section one glory . week, they've found a new avenue to goal . However, Grand Final After twenty weeks of under-nineteen's football, season Collegians have plenty of boys on song, and the 2004 comes to a conclusion this afternoon as the manner in which they've belted Rupertswood in the section's top two sides play off for the J .S. McCann Cup . Emphatic victors in their Semi Final encounter De La Salle are clear favourites to take line honours, eleven wins from their past twelve outings suggesting they will definitely be tough to beat . However it is hard to write off St Kevins, Obee's boys have played with such tenacity for the entirety of the season that they're CLUB not without a chance . While both sides are fairly U19 1 unaccustomed to the big stage having failed to make University Blue s Shuttleworth 0 71 the finals cut in 2003, SKOB's coach Richard Obee is Werribee Lee C* 2 48 no stranger to final's football, the new recruit formerly Rush 0 45 Old Xavs a premiership coach with Old Brighton in 2002 .

They Rupertswood Morrison* 5 3 7 survived a tense struggle with Rupertswood, finally U193 prevailing by 12 points . After a pretty even first Woods* 2 63 Whitefriars quarter, the Wellers started to find the goals, with Oakleigh Briggs* 0 61 Cottrell providing a formidable target up forward .

Peck* 3 46 Morrison replied in kind for Rupo, who were Old Paradians Ashworth 0 41 determined not to let their season fall apart .

second semi, plus the week's break to freshen up, should be sufficient to see them hold the cup aloft .

Collegians by 32 points .

Section 3 Preliminary Final The Raiders settled better in the first quarter shoot out, hammering home 9 majors, whilst Brendan Stafford had 3 of the Friars 5 goals playing out of the middle .

Whilst Abdallah continued to shine around the packs, he was the target of some close attention from the opposition . Play resumed in a different fashion as both sides had tightened up, but Parade were the first to spark, then produced 4 quick goals to extend their lead . However, after a strong mark and conversion by John Daou, followed up by another Friar goal, it was back to 6 goals . Parade played the second half with 17 men after Thomas was sent-off, and the Friars started making headway from a Walker snap and Daou's second goal, which narrowed the margin to 4 goals .

With so much at stake, Parade were not about to let go easily and they denied the Friars' engine-room space to create and get a'run on' . In the end Parade were simply too good and deserved their GF berth . For Whitefriars, they should be commended for resurrecting their side after a year in recess, and going so close . . . . .

Grand Final Old Carey are justifiably the favourites going into the Grand Final, and not just because they beat the Raiders by 7 goals in Round 12 . They have been brutal in the past two matches (albeit one over Therry) . Laing, Stocco & Costello must be shut down, and the dangerous Ashworth has found a new foil in Thompson . Plenty of firepower there!! Meanwhile the Raiders have finally been able to put their best combination on the park. I was impressed with the games of Girovski and Rehlicki last week, but they'll need that plus more to grab the silverware today. I'm sure if the opportunity presents itself again, they won't end up kicking 2 goals 11 to finish the game offl! At the risk of copping egg on my dial, I'm leaning towards Parade by 11 points .

Under 19 Blue Preliminary final A real arm-wrestle in the first half saw one point separate the teams at the first two changes . Without Miller or De Lange in the goals, the Pirates found Wignall a welcome provider, keeping them in the contest . The JOCs didn't have to rely on Ryan alone, as they produced 6 multiple goal kickers across the day including Walker & Peake who snuck into the votes . It all came down to the final quarter, with the Pirates (who had lead the competition all season) taking a 15 point advantage after a profitable 'premiership quarter' . They had quite a few chances but didn't convert enough to put the game out of the JOCs reach .

In fact, the JOCs slotted 5 goals to get home by 2 points in a thriller. The pain felt in the Peninsula rooms was extreme, as they'd planned this as a stepping stone to the final Showdown . Sadly, for them, the JOCS showed enough mettle in the dying minutes to live to fight another day .

Grand Final Cometh the hour, cometh the man . In this Section, most of those men have been playing football for Bentleigh and racking up cricket scores along the way .

Aside from a small hiccup against the Pirates, the Demons have been virtually unbeatable . Still the JOCs 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2004

have done well to make it this far, and will give themselves every chance of causing a massive upset .

The previous two meetings between these sides sum up the situation - the Demons won in by over 20 goals on both occasions . Frankly, I'm tipping something similar .

Bentleigh by 12 goals .

Section Red - Review Preliminary Final La Trobe Uni confirmed their status as the section's second best side, booking a spot in Sunday afternoon's grand final last weekend with a comfortable 63 point win. Avenging their miserable round-ten showing, La Trobe outclassed Westbourne from the outset, Wood, Tamblyn and Borrelli once again impressive for the university side . The Fitzroy Reds will attempt to etch their name into the record books this weekend, when they meet La Trobe University in Sunday's Section Red Grand Final . Not only would a victory cement the team's name in metropolitan football folklore as one of the few sides to spend a whole season undefeated, it will also mark the side's first-ever premiership at the under-nineteen level. Having dominated the section from the season's outset regularly winning matches by one-hundred-plus margins, Fitzroy have rarely been threatened this year; the top-of-the-table clash in round twelve blowing out to a 182 point win to the Reds . However unlike Fitzroy, La Trobe have nothing to lose this afternoon . They are the clear underdogs, the rank outsiders, and will be encouraged by their impressive performance against the Reds just two weeks ago. The key to victory for La Trobe lies in nullifying Fitzroy's powerhouse forward Kane Maghamez. Still dripping with accolades from Monday night's VAFA presentation night, Maghamez was named the section's leading goalkicker as well as the section's best and fairest player. While shutting Maghamez down is the key to victory for La Trobe, eight sides have been trying to do so since round one with little success, Fitzroy by 31 points .
