VAFA PARTNERSHIPS In order to administer a successful club it is vital that a club has a successful culture both on and off the field. I speak regularly in this column of the various successes and challenges that our clubs experience each season. To put a team on the ground comes at a significant cost and player subscriptions make up for only a small segment of this.

Similar challenges apply to the VAFA where affiliation fees account for less than 40% of our income. To provide the necessary service to clubs, the VAFA needs to strive to find partners who believe in the values of the VAFA and can provide financial support to both the association and our clubs.

The VAFA has had magnificent support from our major sponsor Sportscover for over 20 years who have provided insurance to all our clubs. Along with them we have also had long term partners including Club Warehouse and Beiersdorf, East Malvern Community Bendigo Bank, Cyan Press, Winning Edge Presentations, 2XU, Schweppes and Sherrin.

This year, through the determined work of commercial operations manager Blair O’Hara, we have managed to increase this portfolio including many that will add direct benefits to all VAFA clubs.

Last month’s President’s meeting was held at Bayford Auto Group in Camberwell. Bayford have seven dealerships around Melbourne and offer a complete range of motor vehicles including Ford, Volkswagon, Kia, Peugeot and Citroen. For every car purchased Bayford will give $500 back to any VAFA club. Six VAFA clubs have already benefitted from this generous offer. I have particularly enjoyed their promotions on our radio partner SEN which have included the VAFA brand.

Cambridge Clothing Company is our official menswear supplier and will support the VAFA Big V Club and the VAFA Woodrow Medal and

Awards night as naming rights partner. Their portfolio of brands include stylish Joe Black, classical Cambridge and modern Cambridge Kit, together with well-known brands Dom Bagnato and Gibson. One lucky VAFA player will attend a personal styling session and get decked out in a new suit and attend the Woodrow medal courtesy of Cambridge.

Royal Brunei Airlines will be flying our players to Ireland to represent the Big V when they take on the All-Ireland team at season’s end. Their support has assisted in making this trip achievable for our players who all pay their own way. Royal Brunei fly daily to London and whilst their prices may be at the lower end of the market their service is at first class. It helps that you go through the Sultan’s private airport and airport taxes are at a minimum!

Bringing together all our on field gear under one company has allowed us to provide state of the art jumpers and other apparel at lower prices. The task of switching all our jumper, shorts and socks to KooGa has been a monumental one. KooGa are another partner that has proven to be financially beneficial to our clubs and players.

Carlton and United Breweries have returned as official beer and cider partner and two-thirds of our clubs have accepted the offer from them to be a CUB club. At each of our functions, CUB has given the VAFA valuable and popular product and in turn makes it more affordable for the clubs.

The VAFA is progressing strongly in the commercial space and all clubs should use these sponsors as their own if there is no conflict. Each will provide returns to your club. So if you’re in the market for a new car, maybe a holiday in Asia or the UK, or a new suit to wear to the races this spring, think of the VAFA partners and you will be assisting in making this competition even more sustainable.

BLACKS FALTER AND BLUES RISE Hope and desperation are wonderful things. If you think you are a chance of something, believe in it and more often than not, you will achieve your goal. At least that’s what positive thinkers, life and most football coaches will tell you. The contrasting fortunes of the two Melbourne University Football Clubs has been as absorbing as anything in Premier this year. The rise of Black and the fall of Blue. A second three-point loss of the season to Collegians put a dint in the bodywork of the Black machine last week.

Whilst the Blues hand to mouth resuscitation continued, defeating De La Salle by nine points.

The Blues win allowed them to come up for air from the relegation places for the first time since Round 5. If you are a neutral and unsure which game to head to this week, can I suggest a trip to the Bayside suburbs of Beaumaris and Mentone.

It’s a top of the table stoush at Brindisi St and a relegation rumble at Banksia Reserve.

Before looking forward we look back, starting at Camberwell where Beaumaris fell short of Old Scotch despite a momentum building final quarter. The Sharks will hopefully channel that final term performance into this week but it was Old Scotch’s middle two quarters that allowed the home side to build a match winning lead.

Jamieson, Strange and Seed all kicked three goals for the Cardinals and perhaps it was the spread of scoring options that meant Old Scotch were able to get the upper hand. Scott Gower kicked five goals at the other end and Josh Ward had three for the Sharks. Dean was again amongst the good Sharks players, whilst Richard Eva marshaled the Cardinals back half with aplomb.

University Blues hosted De La Salle in conditions reminiscent of bygone days. However both teams needed to collect the full four points and with no other available venue the match went ahead. For the first half the conditions didn’t seem to worry the visitors who couldn’t miss any time they had a shot at goal. A four goal to on second term giving them the ascendancy heading to the long break. Ross Young was finding a lot of football though and Blues made the most of their time 2

to the scoring end in the third to hold sway at the final change. Blues were held scoreless in the final term but they did the Aussie Rules equivilant of parking the bus as De La Sall couldn’t find a way to penetrate. Charlie Haley played his best game at senior level and Jacob Williams must be a morale for the club best and fairest if not higher honours. It was a super win for the Blues and if Van De Pol, Maddocks and Heine bring their form to Beaumaris they could yet complete a Houdini on us all.

Old Xaverians cantered around Old Carey’s Dunshea Oval for a confidence boosting win.

As if they needed it. Top versus bottom is rarely pretty and this lived up to expectations. For all of Old Carey’s efforts this year, this is the result they really hadn’t had. Outclassed by Ball and Waller in midfield, out pointed by Handley and Goss in attack and out-‘depthed’ by Smith and Larkins across roaming half forward to half back roles that were played with devastating efficiency.

The solace for Old Carey is their U19s team has strung a few wins together but they require a huge influx of senior talent next season if they are to rebound in Premier B. Old Xavs might be happy with the win but will come to Brindisi St expecting a tougher contest this week.

Collegians hosted Uni Blacks in a match both needed to win. It is strange that these two sides met in almost identical circumstances earlier this year, stranger still was the fact the margin and result were exactly the same. Collegians holding on to win by three points despite a late flurry of Blacks goals that threatened to pinch the game. However the reigning premiers (only a few more weeks of saying this left) deserved this win. Zimbachs and Scott’s form in recent weeks have been instrumental, the tackling pressure PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 45 / 60%) Beaumaris v University Blues De La Salle v Collegians Old Carey v Old Scotch St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v Old Xaverians University Blacks v St Bernards

of Collegians as a whole was immense. They played like we know them to play. Blacks will be disappointed but again they found themselves behind in the game, again they came home strong and not for the first time this year, they fell short.

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers visited the Snakepit in a bid to maintain the pressure on Blacks for second spot. Oblivious to the happenings at Harry Trott, the Tigers played their hand in the second half.

A low scoring battle looked most likely at half time as the Bernies led four goals to two at the break, however St Bedes/Mentone had other ideas. Quarters of six and five goals hammered the home side into submission and silenced the local supporters as Michael Barnes and Pat Keane found themselves on the end of three goals each. Pete McGettigan continues to get better as the season wears on and the brothers in arms of Doherty, Richards and Wintle all provide reasons to like what Mick Dwyer is getting out of this side. The win sees the Tigers in second. The St Bernard’s loss means they need at least one more win.

St Bernard’s will get another chance to secure that season saving win when they travel to Sportscover Arena to face the Uni Blacks. With the match shifted to headquarters it is hard to assess which team is favoured but the general feeling in Premeir that St Bernards at full strength would have been finals material. Without seeing who is in and out until after print it’s hard to go past Blacks. The match of the round is a toss up between Beaumaris and Blues or St Bedes/ Mentone and Old Xavs. Both are interesting for entirely different reasons. Blues to get over the line with experience and the home side to prosper at Brindisi St. Old Scotch should seal a finals berth at Old Carey and Collegians will keep the pressure on by defeating a demoralised De La Salle.

PREMIER B

Kris Neil

@KrisANeil

HOT STARTS, COLD DRINKS. Plenty of Premier B coaches will be scratching their heads in frustration on their early holidays this season, wondering where they could have found the extra bit of mental toughness required to place their team in the finals. Lapses in concentration and an inability to run out games have been the theme of the season for many teams, with one bad quarter each week adding up to see the losses column outweigh the wins. Four quarters of good footy is what could ultimately separate the two grand finalists from the rest of the field in Premier B this year.

In the fight for top position, Old Trinity used a dominant second quarter to secure a comfortable 48 point win against an undermanned Old Brighton side at Daley Oval. The loss sees Brighton slide down to third spot on the ladder. The Tonners will be battling to move back into the top two places due to multiple week injuries to several of their key players. Trinity shared the load both in front of the sticks with nine different goal kickers, whilst around the ground they had noteworthy performances from midfielders Iezzi and Hamilton.

Bruin fought hard all day in the guts for the visitors and Hendra was one of their better players from half back but it wasn’t enough to counter Trinity’s superior energy and pressure right across the field.

At Gary Smorgon Oval, AJAX were able to turn the tides and cause a surprise upset, defeating a St Kevin’s side that had won five games in a row prior to the clash. The Jacka’s utilised a strong first term breeze to gain a thirty seven point lead on the visitors. From there they never looked back, dismantling SKOBs confidence with fierce endeavour on the football. AJAX had a fantastic contribution from all players, but were particularly well served by Routman, who was a livewire all over as he contributed four goals and many other score involvements. For the visitors, Matheson and Brick toiled hard all day but several players were well down on their normal standard. An interesting battle now looms between these two sides as AJAX have given themselves every chance of stealing fourth position on the ladder from St Kevins. The Jackas will need to win both of their 4

remaining fixtures against Fitzroy and Caulfield whilst St Kevin’s must drop both games to first and second placed Old Trinity and Old Melburnians to re-arrange fourth place.

In a low scoring affair at Gerry Green Reserve, Fitzroy confirmed their place in Premier B next season by defeating Parkdale by 26 points. The Vultures threw plenty of numbers behind the ball from the get-go to no avail, as the Roys took a 15 point lead into the first quarter break. Dalton was brilliant for the Roys in a best on ground effort while Patcas sparked them into gear with two goals. Parkdale had stellar efforts from both Sullivan and Lewis in the clash but struggled to put a winning score on the board against Fitzroy’s solid defensive unit. The Roys will be optimistic about their chance to make an impact on Premier B next season, with both the return of key players and the improvement of young guns set to strengthen the depth of the club for the future. The loss will make it difficult for Parkdale to remain in Premier B next year as they are now required to make up both a game and percentage on Caulfield who remain one place out of the relegation zone.

Old Melburnians moved up a rung on the ladder into second position with a 31 point win over Caulfield Grammarians at Glenhuntly Oval. In what has become a trend for the Grammarians, Old Melburnians were able to pile on eight goals to one in the last term to overturn a 10 point deficit at the final break. There were several spearheads up forward for Melburnians with Beck, Carter and Hywood combining for ten goals between them.

Tonkin was lively on the wing for the home side and Edwards was their only player with multiple goals with four for the afternoon.

The shock of round sixteen was undeniably PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 52 / 65%) Old Brighton v Werribee Fitzroy v AJAX Parkdale v Old Trinity Caulfield v Old Haileybury St Kevins v Old Melburnians

caused at Princes Park Caulfield, where Werribee defeated Old Haileybury by 12 points to register just their second win of the season. The Tigers fought hard for the win, kicking four final quarter goals to just one for the Haileyburians. Harrington put on a clinic in front of goal for Werribee with six goals to his name in a BOG performance and the Taylors chipped in with two and three of their own. Meehan and Ridgway combined for seven for the home side who have now gone into a late season slide, losing five games in a row.

Premier B. Caulfield will be hoping to put together a more complete performance against the Old Haileyburians at Glenhuntly Oval and St Kevins and Old Melburnians will test each other in what should be a tight contest at TH King Oval.

AMMO SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH In April 2012 Peninsula Old Boy Tom Barbour suffered a spinal cord injury leaving him paralysed from the waist down and unable to walk. Since the accident Tom has shown great fortitude, focusing on being able to walk again by attending Project Walk in the USA. After a hard fought Round 16 battle with Peninsula, Marcellin hosted a sausage sizzle for Tom, which raised $700 towards his next journey to Project Walk. The event was a wonderful display of camaraderie and showed that the VAFA community puts aside club allegiances to come together for a good cause time and again.

Strangely the centre circle was on the southern wing at Clayton but that didn’t stop the Wellers’ Tom Allwright from sparking their clash against the Ashes, with a crumbing goal and a hanger at half-back before the game was 10 minutes old. It wasn’t an omen though, as Monash Blues’ intensity and run created plenty of opportunities to build a 28 point lead. Gareth Taylor was brilliant in the second quarter for the Ashes, setting up goals and kicking a few himself to put his side 47 points ahead at half time. The second half played out similarly as Old Camberwell found it hard to get past their half forward line while Petering, Young and Smyth ensured the Ashes wouldn’t let up, running out comfortable 59 point victors.

Mazenod hosted a resurgent Oakleigh in a tricky encounter for the ladder leaders. Krushers skipper Dermot Cleary, Chris Hogan and Andrew Murray led a physical, defensive performance in the first half, absorbing all the Nodders threw at them to remain within a point in a low scoring affair. The game opened up after half time and while Mazenod had the better of play, Oakleigh remained within striking distance until a goal from the boundary by Malietzis on the siren put the Nodders up by 16 at the last break. The home side then ran over the Krushers to seal the minor premiershipwith Rees Thomas getting some reward for effort with 4 goals while Bonner and Bourbon were also influential.

PEGS needed a win at home over Old Ivanhoe to stay in touch with the top four but the visitors got the jump thanks to a 5 goal to 0 opening term and 6

some great work from Michael Del Monte. Brad Jones and second gamer Jed Watson tried to lift PEGS in the second but the Hoers extended their lead through Hayden Heta and Keane up forward.

With the game won, the Hoers didn’t let up until late in the game to finish 43 points ahead at full time. Adrian Del Monte kicked 5 to all but seal Premier C leading goal kicker honors, taking his tally to 55, 15 goals ahead of nearest rival David Forrest.

A victory was in order for Banyule and they started well against NOBS-St Pats at the Boneyard, edging to a slender lead as Biscontin and Masters continued their good form. Ezard’s Nobbers weren’t about to lie down though, responding in the second to go into the sheds 8 points in front.

Banyule dominated proceedings in the third despite being profligate in front of goal, kicking 6.12 to 1.0 to lead by 34 before another bout of final quarter déjà vu as the Nobbers slammed on 4 quick goals to get the margin to within 10 points.

Seb Green and Greg Bell then steadied the visitors with great defensive work to ease the Bears to a crucial 8 point win and a claim on 7th spot.

The Pirates got off to a flyer in Sam Murray’s 200th game against Marcellin at Bulleen, winning the clearances and slotting a couple of early goals through Barbour and Whitty. Marcellin then managed to control the tempo of the match before shifting the game in their favour by quarter time. Daniel Bruce led the Pirates in a determined second quarter as they kept Marcellin goalless while converting at their end to draw to within one point at half time. It seemed the visitors were out of puff however, as Blanch, Millsom and Redmond led an Eagles counterattack to open up a decisive 27 point lead by ¾ time before going on to win by 35.

“ROUND OF THE YEAR” PREVIEW Mazenod (1st) v Monash Blues (3rd) – With the four effectively set the Ashes must win this to get the double chance. After a lapse in form the Ashes hit their straps last week and will need Gareth Taylor and Andrew Young to fire again. They’ll have their hands full though as Bourbon and Thomas are in ominous form along with plenty other Nodders and I expect them to prevail in a great finals preview.

Old Ivanhoe (2nd) v Marcellin (4th) – Another finals prequel has the two best attacking sides going head-to-head at Pine Lodge. Marcellin will focus on curbing the influence of the Del Monte and Heta brothers while getting playmakers in Blanch, Carlson and Bortolotto into the game.

The Eagles can get the double chance if results go their way but the Hoers are full of confidence and should get up in a cracking contest.

PEGS 5th) v Oakleigh (8th) –Oakleigh pushed Mazenod until late in the 3rd last week and should take confidence from that performance. PEGS

PREMIER C

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

can’t make finals after three straight losses and motivation may be a factor in the outcome here as the Krushers still need another win to ensure Premier C football in 2013.

Peninsula (6th) v Banyule (7th) – Survival is on the line for both Peninsula and Banyule at Mt Eliza.

Peninsula have played well in losses to Mazenod and Marcellin but Banyule have got the victories against PEGS and NOBS-St Pats. It will be a tough battle early but the Pirates should win at the death.

Old Camberwell (9th) v NOBS-St Pats (10th) – Old Camberwell have used 53 players in their seniors and it showed as they looked tired against Monash Blues. If ruckman Robbie Campbell can get himself right it will boost the Wellers midfield but they simply must win this or they’ll be headed for Division 1 action with NOBS-St Pats.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

MARCELLIN RAISING FUNDS FOR PENINSULA’S TOM In April 2012 Peninsula Old Boy Tom Barbour suffered a spinal cord injury leaving him paralysed from the waist down and unable to walk. Since the accident Tom has been driven in his efforts to get back on his feet and part of that process has been to attend Project Walk in the USA.

When Marcellin played at Peninsula earlier this year, Tom’s mum Louise was selling raffle tickets to those in attendance to help raise funds for his

next trip to Project Walk. Marcellin Committee Members Janiffer Williams and Colette Blanche were touched by Tom’s story that they decided to host their own fundraiser.

Marcellin contacted Peninsula ahead of their return game to inform they would like to host their own fundraiser for Tom. Janiffer and Colette organised a sausage sizzle and raffle for Tom last Saturday with the club raising over $750 for Tom. The atmosphere at Marcellin College on the day was sensational and the two clubs now have an indelible bond. You can read more about Tom’s story at his website www.tommysgunnadoit.com.

This is just one of many stories showing that the VAFA is more than a football competition – we are a community that reach out and help each other in times of need. Congratulations to all at Marcellin and Peninsula for banding together in this way. A long time observer of VAFA matches confirmed that the after match function was one of the best seen in the VAFA in more than 30 years of watching matches.

ST BERNARD’S LADIES DO IT FOR AGAIN St Bernard’s Ladies Committee through its “Women’s Network”, organised their second big lunch for the year last Saturday. The “Ladies Charity Lunch” featured a very special guest, former Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion Cathy Freeman. Post her stellar athletics career, Cathy has thrown herself into a significant amount of charity work for multiple, very worthwhile causes and campaigns. In addition to helping

Diabetes Australia and the Boots for All program, her main focus is the “Cathy Freeman Foundation”, which provides educational assistance to over 600 indigenous youngsters living on Palm Island Queensland.

At Saturday’s lunch, highlights of Cathy’s on track career had the 140+ ladies in attendance cheering her home again, for that famous gold medal at the Sydney Olympics.

However the main focus was on the outstanding work her foundation is doing for indigenous children battling for an education, in a disadvantaged community. Raffle ticket sales and donations were enthusiastic and generous, with $4,000 collected to assist in Cathy’s charitable work. This first class lunch was certainly one of the most inspiring seen for many years and the club and in particular the ladies network, were very proud to assist Cathy Freeman in her endeavours.

TEST CRICKETERS FROM THE VAFA

With the Ashes series being played over in England at present and the hollow news that Australia have fallen 3-0 behind in the series, we thought we would see if a team of former VAFA players that went on to play test cricket for Australia would be any match for this current side.

VAFA Life Member John Bell has collated a very detail list of former VAFA players to have pulled on the baggy green which can be viewed on our website. From that list our cricket experts have selected a VAFA representative best XII. It is fair to say that this team is more suited to the spinning decks of the subcontinent as we have four genuine spinners in the side. We have some star footballers in out side. Our captain is Lindsay Hassett with the great Warwick ‘The Ship’ Armstrong as the Vice Captain. Hassett was captain of Geelong Amateurs from 1935-37 and was a member of the 1948 ‘Invincibles’. Hassett also won back-to-back Woodrow Medals in 193536. Armstrong played at Caulfield in the MJFA (as the VAFA was previously known as) and also played 16 games for South Melbourne in the VFL. Keith Rigg was Collegians Captain in 1927 and 1928 won the inaugural Woodrow Medal in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

1927. Ben Barnett of Old Scotch Collegians was captain of the VAFA Big V side in 1929 against South Australia. Ian Johnson was a VAFA Big V representative. Sam Loxton played and coached at Collegians and also played 41 games in the VFL for St Kilda during WWII. Doug Ring played in the MHSOB B Section premiership side against Old Melburnians in 1946. Graeme Watson played in Ormond’s A Section 1963 losing grand final team against Old Paradians and also played 18 games for Melbourne in the VFL. Ian Redpath played for five years at Geelong Amateurs and claimed four consecutive club best and fairest awards, he was a Big V representative in three years and was twice selected as an All Australian Amateur.

Simon O’Donnell played for both Uni Blacks and Old Brighton and he also played 24 games for St Kilda in the VFL. Of those that have played in the VAFA, three have captained Australia at Test level; Warwick Armstrong, Lindsay Hassett and Ian Johnson. Four of the players were in the 1948 Invincibles team (Lindsay Hassett (vc), Ian Johnson, Sam Loxton and Doug Ring.

Also played test matches for Australia: Roy Park (Collegians and University) 1 Test; Ted a’Beckett (University Blacks) 4 Tests; Les Joslin (UHSOB) 1 Test; Paul Hibbert (Assumption Old Collegians) 1 Test; Julien Wienar (AJAX) 6 Tests; Clint McKay (Old Paradians) 1 Test; Michael Beer (De La Salle) 2 Tests; Rob Quiney (Ormond) 2 Tests.

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

BIG V RECOLLECTIONS

First, the back story. In the Republic of Ireland, there are over 2000 Gaelic football clubs. It is estimated there are upwards of a quarter of a million players, all with one dream in common: to play at ‘the Croker”, where during a Dublin-Tipperary game in 1920, thirteen spectators and Tipperary’s captain were killed in a massacre. Most Gaelic footballers never set foot on it, but this is about a bloke who has. You’ve probably never heard of him.

Matt Eifermann, about 5’7” tall, kicks the dew off the park every Saturday morning and vice-captain of the Banyule Reserves. At time of writing, he hasn’t cracked the best player list for the Bears this year. Yet on October 2011, this man pulled on the Big V and took the field alongside established stars Matt Torney, Ryan Colbert, Daniel Strachan and Woodrow Medallist Cam Howat to play against the All-Ireland team soon to smash the AFL’s International Rules team.

Eifermann wasn’t picked for the tour on form.

He’d won the lottery to be the team runner and emergency player. Coaches Dean Anderson and Luke Beveridge sized him up early at a training run before the team left. Eif didn’t train, he was recovering from long-term arm injury. Eif doubted he could lift a pint of Murphy’s or Guinness with his crook wing. He was happy to go to Ireland as runner. Until he got there.

The first game at Cork against Na Piarsaigh, Eifermann ran the messages. His first was two minutes into the game. Nick Sautner kicked a 12

three point “over”, and the team camaraderie was immediately on show, with all but one player embracing him for his success. No-one remembered that the restart was the same as a “behind” in Aussie Rules. Within three seconds, the Irish had cleared the ball past the Big V square dance and eight loose Irishmen were rushing at goalkeeper Gareth Snow, who seconds later got his first touch when he picked the ball out of the back of the net. 6-3 to the home-team.

Eif commiserated with the players after they lost a close one and had plenty of Murphy’s Stout with them too, at one of the biggest after-match events anyone had ever seen. Just like the players, he slept and snored all the way to Galway on the team bus.

Against Salthill, he again ran the messages, telling coach Anderson he was ready to play if needed.

He celebrated the win with the players in some of Galway’s great nightspots.

The tour moved east to meet Ballyroan in some hard-to-find place near Portlaoise. Eif pulled out his Big V and hung it on the dressing room hook, a hint to the coaches. Midway through the game, Travis Ridgway broke his leg and Eif slipped the Big V under his runner’s shirt.

In the real-life movie “Rudy”, a small but dogged Notre Dame practice team player Dan Ruettiger begs for an opportunity to get on the field in a game. He is ignored by his coach, until the last week of his final college season, when teammates one-by-one went in to see the coach and THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

laid down their jerseys, offering their places on the team to Rudy. The coach succumbs and Rudy dresses for the game. The coach has no intention of letting him play, but with the crowd chanting “Ru-dy, Rudy” he relents in the very last play of the season. Rudy makes a massive tackle and he is chaired off by the Notre Dame players (over 30 years ago and it hasn’t happened since.) This night near Portlaoise, the “Ru-dy” chant began from the sidelines, but was resisted.

So to Croke Park a night later. Any idea that we were playing against leprechauns vanished when we saw them warming up. The Irish team were all 6’2” inch sprinters with immaculate ball control.

Coach Anderson knew we’d need everyone on deck. He checked with the Tour Director Sholly to see that Eifermann was covered by the insurance.

Sholly confirmed he was. Anderson then asked him to call Sportscover to see if he could double it. The coach rang the changes, but still Eif warmed up. The 10 “Ru-dy” chant began, and finally, there he was, sprinting on to the hallowed turf and straight to the contest.

The Godfather of the Big V, Anthony “Mush” Amad, told the Herald Sun “Confidential” column that the Big V had been beaten by four points before 65,000 people. The truth is more like this: The Croker holds over 82,000, but because of GAA lockout, only about twenty-five people

IRELAND TEAM ANNOUNCED The VAFA are please to announce the final 23 man touring team that will travel to Ireland this October for four matches of International Rules matches against Gaelic Football teams. The players are a mix of players that played or were squad members in this year’s VAFA Big V representative matches against AFL Victoria country and for the U23 match against the SAAFL. All players will be working hard to raise money for their trip to pay their way to Ireland and expect to see a few club fundraisers to help support a player from your club get on the plane to Ireland. All 23 players will be on the trip for the first time. The VAFA last toured a side to Ireland in 2011 and all players from that tour recall that experience as some of their fondest memories.

You can read a Big V recollections piece on the opposite page about the last time we toured Ireland.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

witnessed Eifermann’s Big V debut. Oh, and we got hammered by 74. Eif didn’t collect too many Dream Team points, but he had plenty of mates.

(Back in Melbourne a fortnight later, most of our boys cleaned up on the AFL v Ireland result) The tour wrapped with a sterling victory in County Meath over Donaghmore-Ashbourne.

The Godfather handed victory cigars to every player and Eif got his Havana. At midnight, amidst a raucous and brilliant after-match, the team gathered in the middle of the pitch to light up, and Jack Hellier led the team in a rendition of “Thumbs out, Elbows in”, which he had learned in Galway.

Eifermann yelled it louder than anyone.

The Big V goes to Ireland again this season-end. It’s a tour that will appeal to parents and supporters too. I’d recommend that anyone who wants to see the Emerald Isle take the trip to coincide with the Big V tour. The football is fast and furious, the sights are amazing, the travelling companions are great and the generous and hospitable Irish people know how to host a celebration. Also, the VAFA might have a very good deal available. PS: Take your boots. You might just be the next Matt Eifermann.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

300

Peninsula would like to congratulate SHAUN PAYZE on reaching 300 games for the club. All bar one of them have been at senior level. In his time at the club Shaun has won 6 club Best and Fairest award and been runner-up on 5 occasions.

He won the league Best and Fairest in 2005 and has won the League goal kicking 4 times (claiming the same award at the club 10 times). Skipper for 9 seasons Shaun has unfortunately played in 5 losing grand finals – 3 as captain. Shaun played VAFA representative football in 2000 and has also been treasurer of the club for 5 years. There is no known proof of Payzey ever handballing we don’t hold it against you. It is a monumental contribution to the club and all at Peninsula are thrilled for Shaun as he reaches this milestone.

300

Since debuting in 1993, Box Hill North’s GEORGE CAVALLO was quick to make an impact on both a personal and team level. Following on from his 1994 best and fairest efforts, came a reserves premiership in 1995. George’s work rate on and off the field is truly remarkable, from managing a 5 goal haul out of the square last week, to being the main bar man, Vice President and last but not least Life Member.

200

Every club needs a gorilla in the goal square and Yarra Valley Bushrangers’ big BEN SEEGER has prowled the goalsquare for over a decade. A dedicated Bushranger off field too, as Treasurer for the past 6 seasons, he is the youngest Bushranger to reach 200 games. His accolades include: Twice reserve competition leading goal kicker, three times club reserve leading goal kicker and again is the comp leader in 2013. Ben is a very much a straight-ahead player, superb mark and a very reliable left foot kick.

DIVISION 1

@JamesRied9

LOCK ‘EM IN Fluctuations in Division 1 – except at the top and bottom - presented as a tippers nightmare for much of the season, as ladder positioning and form has alternated throughout the year. However, that deviation has come and gone as teams have settled into their designated slots with last-minute hopefuls unable to overcome the odds. Miracles aside, MHSOB booked a seat alongside Glen Eira for a trip to Division 2 in 2014. Even the best mathematicians would rule out the probability of the Unicorns upsetting both Hampton Rovers and Ormond in conjunction with either Old Mentonians or Bulleen Templestowe losing their last two games convincingly. Prahran Assumption will also be the devil’s advocate, keeping a keen eye on the results as they require Whitefriars’ form to collapse and lose the remaining matches along with a flawless fortnight of their own to make the finals. Stranger things have happened.

MHSOB’s last stand to avoid relegation was ended by a reoccurring trend for the Unicorns as one poor quarter cost them yet another chance of victory.

After an even first term, MHSOB were blown away in the second as Old Geelong continued their good form, kicking five goals to none to take a 35-point lead at halftime. The Unicorns responded after the long break, chipping away at the margin scoring four goals for the quarter, but could never fully recover the deficit. Every time MHSOB mounted a comeback the OG’s would answer with a crucial goal, finishing the match 26-point victors.

David Paton slotted four in the win while Matthew Collister claimed best on ground in what has been a respectable tail end of the season for the OG’s.

Prahran Assumption were left to think of what could have been this season as their top four aspirations became utopian dreams after narrowly losing to Williamstown CYMS. The Two Blues’ desperation for victory was a no-show early as Williamstown opened proceedings kicking three goals to nil by quarter time. The margin would never exceed three goals but in a low scoring affair it was a healthy buffer in favour of the away side.

Prahran Assumption switched on in the second 16

slotting three goals and reduced the margin to just 12-points at halftime. The third and fourth quarters would end much the same as the second, Williamstown CYMS having a counter for every Prahran Assumption challenge, denying the Two Blues momentum with a quick reply. Christopher Cini was deemed best afield for the CY’s as they scraped out a 7-point win away from home.

Boss James Reserve was host to a shoot-out last weekend as 1st Hampton Rovers played 7th Bulleen Templestowe in what was a great day to be a forward. The two went goal for goal from the outset, with Hampton taking an unsurprising lead 32-19 by quarters end and extended that margin to 22 at halftime. Another nine goals were kicked in the third term as Bulleen Templestowe doubled their first half score to reduce the deficit to 15.

In familiar fashion the Rovers ended the game with a fury kicking 6.4 for the quarter ceasing the Bullants’ hopes of an upset. Daniel Corp (4) and Matthew Care (4) finished off Hampton’s hard work while Rory Lynch provided an essential role in leading his side to a 27-point victory.

Ormond’s finals preparation rolled on as they put yet another team to the sword winning nine of their past ten matches. An injury-riddled Old Mentonians side fronted up against the in-form team of the competition and as expected the match was over early. OMFC held up a fight in the first term but from then on the Monders’ overran the depleted Panthers, extending the margin at each change before eventually winning by 57-points. Jeremy Simon kicked an opportunistic four goals while Samuel Barnes controlled the back-half for the victors providing opportunities aplenty further afield.

Whitefriars held onto 4th spot as they hosted Glen Eira, gaining a much needed percentage boost to make a finals berth almost certain. Whitefriars used the Saints players like it was a training drill as the Friars had plenty of goal-kicking practice, DIVISION 1 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 54 / 68%) MHSOB v Hampton Rovers Glen Eira v Old Mentonians Bulleen Templestowe v Old Geelong Prahran Assumption v Ormond Whitefriars v Williamstown CYMS

none more so than Jean Daou who kicked nine goals while Michael Nitas (4) and Daniel Tibaldi (3) also contributed. Best on ground, Brendon Stafford ran amuck in the midfield getting touches as he pleased and kicked two goals of his own. The win secured Whitefriars a slot in the top four, while their opponents’ fortune was sealed months ago as Glen Eira still search for their maiden victory.

This week MHSOB’s shot at the lottery begins as they host ladder leaders Hampton Rovers, in one of those cases in which their eyes are certainly bigger than their stomachs. The Rovers to get the four points on the road. Bulleen Templestowe plays Old Geelong who has won their past three matches, expect the OG’s will continue their run of form with another win. Prahran Assumption goes all-in for a finals berth as they face 2nd placed Ormond

With much more than premiership points on the line, predicting the Friars to fight out a narrow victory. Old Mentonians will hold onto 8th with a win over Glen Eira away from home.

@BrentyMann

THE PENULTIMATE ROUND Heading into the penultimate round of the season, following last week’s results, three of the top four spots are locked in. Therry Penola, Yarra Valley and Old Eltham are guaranteed to be play finals, with the fourth placed St Mary’s Salesian still in a precarious position. The Saints face Old Eltham and Yarra Valley and with St Johns still a slight chance of taking their spot, claiming at least one victory is a must.

The top two of Division 2 face each other in what could be the match of the year thus far. The game holds extra significance, as these two are likely to face each other in a fortnight’s time in the 2nd Semi Final. Therry Penola and Yarra Valley have been the most consistent sides all year and deserve to hold top billing. Both sides are well stocked in the key forward posts so the key to victory is in the middle of the ground. The side that gets on top in the clearances and contested footy should take the four points and also the psychological edge heading into September.

IN a quirk of the fixture, the top four all play each other with St Mary’s Salesian visiting Old Eltham in a season defining game. Victory will secure the Saints fourth spot and more than likely a 1st semi final against the same opposition in a fortnight.

The Turtles are certain of finals, it’s all about who they will play. St Marys’ form in the last fortnight has not been that of a finals contender. They lost to cellar dweller Emmaus St Leos and more recently got taught a football lesson by Therry Penola. Old Eltham on the other hand are hitting their straps at the right time of year, their form has been patchy during the year but they will be tough to beat at home.

However the most significant match of the round is at the other end of the table. The fight to avoid relegation takes place as Monash Grphons and Ivanhoe are separated by only 3% and face each other this week. For Ivanhoe victory is a must. In the final round they face Therry Penola and with 18

Monash facing Emmaus St Leos, a win this week should see them avoid relegation. Monash on the other hand knocked off Old Paradians last week must bring that form into this week and finish the year on a positive note.

After their thrilling four point win over Ivanhoe last week, South Melbourne host St Johns and for the developing Districts, a chance for victory in their last home game. The JOCs on the other hand, with their finals chances still hanging by a thread, the four points are a must. The JOCs again pushed a top four side all the way without getting over the line. It has been a frustrating year for St Johns, they have the potential to be a top four side, but potential can only get you so far. South Melbourne has had a very solid second half of the year and will be looking to take that into the pre-season and take another step in 2014.

Emmaus St Leos face Old Paradians at home and after these sides drew in their previous meeting, the Animals could be targeting their second win for the year. The Raiders’ form has been the hardest to read out of any side in Division 2. They are the classic “box of chocolates” side. Their best is good enough to knock off Therry Penola. They followed that great win up last week by getting rolled by Monash Gryphons. They are still a slight chance to be relegated, so victory against the hapless Two Blues this week is a necessity. The Animals on the other hand need some positivity to take into the pre-season and with Monash next week, they have a slight chance to end the year with more than a solitary win.

ROUND 16 WRAP-UP After last week’s shock results, order was restored to the Division 2 ladder. Therry Penola showed that their loss to Old Paradians was just a blip on the radar after thrashing St Mary’s to the tune of 79 points. The Bannister brothers again dominated up forward, with 12 goals between them. They have a serious one, two punch and could very well carry the Lions to the flag. Monash kept their chances of avoiding relegation alive with a 22 point win over the plucky Raiders. South Melbourne continued their late season form with a thrilling four point win over Ivanhoe. Emmaus St Leos failed to build

HAPPY MCMEEL EATS UP 13 Aaron Thornton’s bag of 12 in Round 1 was usurped by star La Trobe forward Jack McMeel on the weekend. McMeel’s 13, an awe-spiring effort in any division, was perhaps slightly dulled by the lack of competitive opposition in comparison to Thornton’s effort against 5th placed Richmond Central however it’s still a performance that no one would sneeze at. Jack McMeel has been a huge feature of La Trobe’s resurgence and if they do manage to sneak into the finals, much credit will be placed on the number 18’s back.

Any comparison with another remarkable number 18 who played for the Kangaroos until that awkward bathroom incident is unfair, but McMeel has been an extremely consistent contributor at both ends of the ground for La Trobe and will cause headaches for many sides in years to come. I had him in my mid season team of the year and he will definitely retain his place in the end of season team.

A man I did not select in the side is Tim ‘BWS’ Allman, who combined with the cover model Andrew Brazzale for 11 goals in Kew’s win over Richmond Central. Allman has continually improved for the Bears and like McMeel is very useful at both ends of the ground. The swingmen in the competition who can do a job at both ends may prove decisive in September.

When the chips are down and the coach needs a change in structure, these players can often produce the spark.

Round 16 spelled the end to Albert Park’s season as they went down to Aquinas by 18 points in a rugged affair. Two of the most valuable Aquinas contributors, Sam Williams and Phil Jurkovsky, were both outstanding as Aquinas kept their cool to claim an important victory. Hayden Turner had another strong game through the midfield however Aquinas was able to steady at the right time with their strong forward line.

Albert Park has had a commendable season however they require far too much luck to push back into the 6 over the next 2 weeks.

As previously mentioned, Jack McMeel had a ‘Buddy’ beautiful afternoon, kicking 13 and keeping La Trobe in the 6. Their game against 20

Albert Park next weekend is hugely important but is unlikely to be the final chapter in the gargantuan battle for 6th with Aquinas playing South Mornington. La Trobe was absolutely dominant against Old Westbourne, kicking 13 goals before Old Westbourne could manage 1.

Old Westbourne has certainly popped the cue in the rack and face another daunting task at home against Kew next weekend.

A strong 3rd quarter was enough to get UHSVU across the line against a courageous Power House. 5 goals to 0 in the 3rd came on the back of another impressive Michael Fitzclarence performance however Power House was far from disgraced. The bearded one, Leigh Johnstone provided a powerful target at full forward, kicking 5 goals for the vanquished.

UHS-VU’s win and Elsternwick’s loss appears to have locked up 2nd spot for Uni High who will be looking to refuel for finals. Their depth is a major strength as illustrated by former Fitzroy footballer Dan Clarke coming into the side for his first appearance and immediately having a strong impact.

Recently St Francis Xavier’s form has been rather up and down with a draw against Kew followed by a heavy loss to UHS-VU, however their 19-point win over Elsternwick is a clear indicator of how ready they are for finals football. The two teams are favoured to play each other again on the first weekend in September, albeit on a neutral ground. In Beaconsfield it was SFX on the back of Dwayne Scott’s 4 who won the battle.

Whether Elsternwick is beginning to tire after a long season with a lack of depth is still a point of contention. Wade Williams again flexed his muscle for the ‘Wick however once again SFX’s big 3 (Dimakopolous, Smith and C Van Dam) featured in the best.

Swinburne smashed their archrivals South Mornington, ensuring they didn’t trip up against them as they did in round 1. Richard Lugg kicked 6 for Swinburne, a side who should feel slightly aggrieved about their 2013 record. Ben Higgins and Jackson Manning kicked 5 between them, DIVISION 3 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 66 / 69%) Aquinas v South Mornington UHS-VU v Swinburne Elsternwick v Richmond Central Albert Park v La Trobe Power House v St Francis Xavier Kew v Old Westbourne

For game notes and match information — email details by 5pm Sunday providing support across the ground. South Mornington was outclassed across the field and their frustration led to a little overt aggression, although that didn’t help on the scoreboard.

With South Mornington condemned to Division 4 for another season, they will search for new players in order to rebuild from a disappointing 2013.

Kew strengthened their position at the top of the table with a 19-point victory over Richmond Central. The ‘Twin Towers’Tim Allman and Andrew Brazzale were decisive, combining for 11 goals but the battle was fierce through the midfield.

Both sides matched very evenly for much of the day and at times it appeared that Richmond had the momentum. A lost contact lens created a stir on the Kew bench but the two defensive leaders, Michael Cochrane and Michael Henderson kept Carland and co reasonably quiet. Tim Nunn and Sam Brown were both excellent for Richmond

but Kew’s ball use in the last quarter was too much for the valiant Snakes.

WILLIE BEE’S CLIVE WATERHOUSE MATCH OF THE ROUND Elsternwick and Richmond Central have both stumbled in the past month and will be desperate to gain some traction in their run home to September. Richmond, after a brilliant start to their season, is facing a struggle to remain in the 6 and a loss to Elsternwick could see them fall to 7th after the weekend. They require a big effort from their back six who were put to the sword by Aaron Thornton in Round 1. I’m backing them in to turn it around. Richmond by 7 points.

BACK WITH A VENGEANCE North Brunswick avenged their mid-season loss to cross-town rivals West Brunswick, upstaging the favourites by nine points at home. The win comes at a pivotal point in the season, with the Bulls moving to fifth on the ladder and two games clear inside the six. In other games, the Hawks and Dogs smashed the Dragons and Mt Lilydale respectively, while Box Hill North kept their slim finals chances alive with a comfortable win over Chadstone. The final game of the round saw the Northern Blues go down by 12 points to ladderleaders Eley Park, in what was a terrific game and a spirited performance by the Blues. The 2013 finals series is shaping up to an exciting affair.

North Brunswick welcomed its past players back to the club on Saturday for its derby against rivals West Brunswick and they gave the greats something to smile about. The home side knocked off the Pies in an exhilarating match of football. In Stuart Hearn’s 100th game for the club, it was revenge at its best for the Bulls, who would avenge their last meeting with the Pies that ended in a close loss. Ben Gallagher up forward (4 goals) and best on ground Sahand Ghasimzadeh were amongst the Bulls best players, but it was an even team contribution that led to the win. West Brunswick will be disappointed with the loss, but they were outplayed all day. Fuzzard and Lloyd tried hard to get the Pies back into the game, but their efforts came unstuck as the home side powered away to victory. A handy tune-up before finals for both clubs.

Daniel Penny’s nine goals was the difference between the two sides as Box Hill North overcame Chadstone by 65 points at Elgar Park. Penny booted five in a blistering first 15 minutes and finishing with a bag, taking his season tally to 63 and leads all comers in the goal-kicking leader board, a terrific effort. The home side led from start to finish and Chadstone could just not match the intensity of a superior side. Chadstone’s best were Dave Bennet, Cisco George and Dan Field, who continue to give it their all week in week out despite being deprived of success this year. With three games to go, Box Hill North sit two games 22

outside the six and must win all three to give itself the best possible chance of sneaking into the finals.

A terrific game between Northern Blues and Eley Park ended in a grinding victory to the Sharks; however the young Blues will take some confidence from this game knowing they can match it with the best. Scores were level at three-quarter time, but a dominant six goal to three final term by the Sharks saw them grab the win. Marcon and Mcredmond bagged four and three goals respectively for the Blues, but poor ball use going inside 50 cost them in the last quarter. For the Sharks who continue to defy the challenges, Baehnson and Lindsay were clinical up forward sharing seven goals between them, while Corstorphin and Viola were again at their very best. An exciting finals series awaits for both sides, with the youthful Blues lineup to learn some lessons out of this defeat.

The Hawks ensured they kept their stranglehold on the competition, destroyed a dismal Dragons outfit by 130 points. 16 goals to two in the second half blew the margin out considerably, with Tremewen (9 goals) and White (5) getting on the end of some excellent delivery to form a potent forward partnership. Finals hopes are still mathematically alive for the Dragons, but on that performance, they would be wondering whether they would be just making up the numbers.

For the Hawks, a premiership and promotion to Division 3 should be their primary focus, as they have the firepower to do inflict some significant damage come September.

Point Cook cemented their spot in the top four with a commanding 95 point win over Mt Lilydale at Saltwater Reserve. The away side was competitive in the first half and still in the game until half time, DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 60 / 75%) North Brunswick v Mt Lilydale Chadstone v Point Cook Dragons v Manningham Cobras Hawthorn v Northern Blues Eley Park Sharks v Box Hill North

but an astonishing fade away saw the Dogs kick 10 goals to none in the second half. Top four would be a great reward for the Bulldogs who can do some damage in September. Archibald and Herbertson both kicked four for the Dogs, while Whitling and Auciello were terrific on the ball. For Mt Lilydale should now be looking on building towards 2014, a four quarter performance is needed to really match the top sides.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2013 SAM MASON – ORMOND As a 15 year old, Sam Mason debuted in the Ormond seniors on June 30, 2012 where he was named in the best players. Sam followed up with another senior game before going back to help his U/16 team try to win a premiership in the SMJFL Division 1 section. The team played well and Sam was one of Ormond’s best but they narrowly lost the Grand Final by 5 points.

Sam has played this season in the seniors in a resurgent team and has continued to prove his worth and rewarding the selectors for the punt they had taken with youth more than twelve months ago. Sam is gearing up for a finals campaign in the seniors this season and we wish him, his team and the club all the best.

* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1992 and playing his first full season of senior football.

VAFA ELASTOPLAST TRAINER OF THE WEEK KRISTYLEE CLARK – ST BEDES/MENTONE TIGERS Kristylee Clark has been a trainer at St Bedes Mentone Tigers for 3 years. Starting in the juniors Kristylee has progressed over the last couple of years into the senior ranks. This year she shares the role of Head Trainer at the club, a position that she handles with aplomb.

As well as looking after all the player’s injuries, niggles, and concerns Kristylee is responsible for organsing the roster of all the training staff, and has the important job of ordering all the medical stock.

Popular with her peers, Kristylee is a great acquisition to SBMT and we look forward to watching her continually grow and develop in her current role over many years to come.

All winners of the Elastoplast Trainer of the Week have won a prize pack from Elastoplast that can be picked up from VAFA HQ at Elsternwick Park during business hours Monday – Friday.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2008 Ladder leaders in C Section, Hampton Rovers, did not play like leaders when Mazenod defeated them 11.14 to 6.11.

The game was lost by three quarter time with the Rovers trailing by over 8 goals. Best: Meehan, Reed, Dunne (3), (Mazenod) and Verlin, Devereaux, (Hampton).

At the Umpires Association Annual Dinner the Golden Whistle award went to Joel Morrison and the Andy Carrick award to Sean Scully Senior.

Jayde Daly was the Young Achiever Award winner and Lionel Katz received a 10 year award.

10 YEARS AGO – 2003 In C Section, Collegians became the ladder leaders with only 1 round to play after the previous coleaders, St Leos Emmaus were soundly defeated

by Old Camberwell 9.10 to 19.10. St Leo’s poor percentage could even cost them the double chance if they were to lose the following week.

Old Camberwell started well and were never headed with goals hard to come by for St Leos.

Best: Cadzow (6), Horgan (3), P Tempone (3), (Old Camberwell) and Ristevski, Vaughan T McCann, (St Leos).

Murray Pitts, highly decorated player for Beaumaris, played his 100th game. Murray had played in senior and U19 premierships, won a competition best and fairest and had been in the VAFA’s senior rep side.

20 YEARS AGO – 1993 Aquinas caused an upset in E Section defeating Glenhuntly and in doing so opened up the fight for the top four. After a slow start, Glenhuntly came back strongly in the second quarter but Aquinas’ second half was impressive in the 14.9 to 9.7 victory.

Best: Hacking, Grierson, Livingstone (4) (Aquinas) and I Withers, Rafferty, Millar (Glenhuntly).

St Leos congratulated Theo (Dutchy) Vandenakker on reaching 250 senior games. After 15 years and 5 premierships it had been a great career for Dutchy.

In F1 Section, St Mary’s made short work of Old Carey and firmed their second place on the ladder.

Best: Mullinger (3), West, Huebner, Mullins (5), for the Saints and Merrigan, Berti, Cutlack, Raft (5), (OC).

30 YEARS AGO – 1983 In A Section, Uni Blues maintained their top 42

position and also put some pressure on Old Xaverians, who were close to the relegation area, with a 9.17 to 4.9 victor. Xavs led in the first quarter but it was all the Blues after that. Best: Angel, Macauley, Yeo (Blues) and O’Sullivan, O’Shaughnessy, S Curtain, (OX) In B Section, clear ladder leaders, Old Paradians did not have it their own way against bottom side Old Camberwell. The Wells were in front at quarter and half time and it took half way through the third term before Paradians led. Paradians went on to win 10.20 to 9.12. Best: P Wood, C Hughes, Grills (OP) and Petty, Armstrong, Spencer (OC).

40 YEARS AGO – 1973 Fairfield caused an upset in C Section by defeating top team Parkside and in doing so threw out the challenge to the other teams in the four as they moved into 5th place, only out of the four by a percentage differential. After Parkside looked to be taking control at half time 7.11 to 6.2, Fairfield played an exceptional third quarter kicking 12.6 to 2.0 and even with the breeze in the last quarter, Parkside could not make up the difference going down 14.16 to 19.11. Best: Fitzgerald, Chapman (9), Hyland (Fairfield) and Carruthers, Gary Dryden (4), Graham Dryden, (Parkside).

Hampton Rovers kept their finals’ hopes alive in D Section with a solid victory over Commonwealth Bank 19.10 to 10.13. Best – R Huckett (4), Bennett (5), Wolfe (7) (Rovers) and Hutchins, Dick, Petrynuik (Comm Bank).

Graeme “Lumpy” Moran played his 226th game for Ormond and broke the record for the most number of senior games at the Club. A remarkably consistent defender over 11 seasons, Lumpy was a key member of Ormond’s ‘triple’ of A Section premier teams.

50 YEARS AGO – 1963 In a great round of amateur football, four of the top A Section teams were opposed. In the surprise of the season in A Section, Collegians outplayed Old Paradians to win by 40 points and thus put a stop to Paradians previous, undefeated run.

Collegians had a grip on the game by the end of the first quarter when they scored 6.2 and kept Paradians goalless. Best for Collegians was David Walduck who kicked 4 goals in quick succession in the first term while others to star were Woodlock, Lucas and Ferguson.

Knight continued a good within 4 of sharpshooter leader run of form being Old Brighton’s best player. A Healey who booted 5 majors. spread of contributors saw St Kevin’s have a solid win over Old Scotch. A late burst from the Blues The game of the round saw gave them something to smile about as St Bede’s OM’s halve the points with St find themselves assured of 2nd spot. Cross found Bernards. Panton was clearly the best player on the the ball all day for St Bede’s kicking 3 in BOG field but not too far behind was the Tom Saundry performance whilst the Blues Craig and Nixon who kicked 2 goals for the Snowdogs. Old Xavs managed 2 majors each to feature in the best continued their good form leading into finals players. with a solid win against Beaumaris. The Sharks’ Williams was a solid contributor and Lovejoy who Thinking Old Xavs won’t be premiers may be a bit is back from TAC Cup duties was again in the best naive but the form of St Bede’s in the past weeks players. Despite dominating, the finals door has says Xavs won’t have it all their way this spring!

U19 Section 2 with Lewis Emmerson

An early morning clash saw Werribee overcome Caulfield Grammarians by 26-points.

Aaron Knezevic was a fresh face amongst Werribee’s goal kickers booting 3 while Hayden Stewart was best afield for Caulfield. Old Carey had a resounding 44-point win over University Blacks.

Carey’s Alexander Moshovelis bagged 5 goals in a standout game while Sam Sher continues to dominate for the Blacks. Parkdale dispatched Old Trinity by 56 points which has put an almost certain end to Old Trinity’s finals aspirations. Parkdale’s Chris Stielow had the ball on a string, racking up

@LewisEmmerson countless possessions. Mark Yeoman was efficient and clean while leading Trinity’s midfield group.

Collegians have all but cemented their spot in the finals with a commanding win over Marcellin.

Collegians lead at every change to finish 58-point winners. Mark Yates went forward and loved every minute of it as he bagged 6 goals for Collegians.

Marcellin’s Xavier Burns nailed 4 goals of his own.

Fitzroy narrowly survived a massive fright from bottom dwellers Mazenod. The Nodders almost pulled off the upset of the season as they jumped out of the blocks kicking 5 straight in the first quarter. Fitzroy’s Dylan Leech kicked 3 while Liam Riley was solid for Mazenod.

U19 Section 3 with Andrew Leonard

Not a lot to take out of the weekend just passed other the fact Old Camberwell and Old Xaverians won. Both are still legitimate finals chances although results would need to go their way. In an 8 team competition the fact that the sixth placed side are on 9 wins and a game outside the four shows that relative strength of this section. The Wellers beat AJAX (4th)to give themselves and Xavs hope. Old Xavs beat Whitefriars (3rd) by 10 points to open up the possibility of the four sides swapping places.

Ironically the fixtures are reversed this week. Again both Old Camberwell and Old Xavs can help 44

@ LennyVAFA each other out by beating Whitefriars and AJAX respectively.

For Xavs it was Fenton and Gallagher delivering the goods whilst for Camberwell it Urwin and Vogel who excelled. For the vanquished, Hickey kicked three for Whitefriars and Kalmus snagged four for AJAX. Elsewhere Delee-Vergini and Hammoud both kicked 5 goals in the Blues thrashing of PEGS. Williamstown CYMS did likewise to Old Geelong although they had a larger spread of goal kickers.

By Saturday evening we will either know the final 4 or we will have an epic round 18 scheduled. Let’s hope it’s the latter.

U19 North with Nick Duxson @nicholasjduxson

Good teams peak at the right time of the year, and with just two rounds left before finals, Old Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe and St Mary’s are all battling it out for the minor premiership. All three have very winnable games this weekend – the Hoes’ traveling to Old Westbourne, the Saints hosting the Unicorns and the Magpies visiting La Trobe Uni. Last Saturday St Mary’s continued a tough run for St Bernards, Holmes booting five goals in the Saints’ 68-point win. Grigg slotted four as Ivanhoe thrashed Old Haileybury by 93 points and Begeman starred as Old Ivanhoe

annihilated the Trobers by 21 goals. Therry Penola remain just behind the top three after a comfortable eight goal win against MHSOB, Jake Butson continuing his hot streak in front of goals with 10 majors. The Warriors fought off a determined Old Paradians outfit, with Josh Stephens kicking nine goals after his haul of eight the week before.

Old Haileybury and the Parade boys are still batting it out to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon, and they will have a tough ask this week taking on Therry Penola and St Bernards respectively.

U19 South with Nick Duxson @nicholasjduxson

ItOakleigh has secured the minor premiership after thumping an undermanned Peninsula outfit by 25 goals. Aaron Cloke kicked 13 of those, with 11 other Krushers getting on the scoreboard.

The Rovers caused a massive upset, toweling up Ormond on the road by 73 points. Massey slotted four for Hampton, while Edgar and Hill both chipped in with three apiece.

Beaumaris proved themselves to be a contender, leading third-placed Old Mentonians at every change as they ran out 24-point winners.

Hardeman starred with four goals for the Sharks, with Rossi doing the same for OMs. UNDER 19 Premier (YEARS TOTAL 58 / 73%) Beaumaris v St Kevins Old Brighton v St Bedes/Mentone Tigers Old Scotch v Old Melburnians Old Xaverians v De La Salle St Bernards v Uni Blues

Lawrence and O’Connor led the way as St Bedes Mentone secured their 12th win for 2013, beating the Blues by five goals.

Parkdale are now guaranteed the wooden spoon, after they suffered a 104-point defeat at the hands of De La Salle. The Vultures were held goalless in the first half before fighting back in the second, while Hogan kicked five and Hay starred for De La. De La Salle’s clash with the Tigers looms as an important one in terms of the top four, after Beaumaris leapfrogged them to take fourth position last round.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallagher

@VAFAUA

CONGRATULATIONS ALL ROUND FAMILY MILESTONES Great to see two of our goal umpiring dads umpiring their 100th VAFA games this weekend.

Ray Stokes and Brett Morton, who both began goal umpiring to be involved in their sons’umpiring careers a few years ago, are reaching milestones that they both probably wouldn’t have expected when they followed their sons down to Elsternwick Park. Brett was just the driver when sons Nathan and Jarryd began umpiring so he thought he may as well wave the flags rather just sit in the car and watch. Pretty much the same story for Ray when he followed sons Frank and Will down. Will be a great family occasion when Nathan and Jarryd run the boundary in Brett’s game at St.Kevins and Frank runs the boundary in Ray’s game at De La Salle. A pity Will’s in retirement. Great to have so many family connections throughout the grades.

Have a great day boys.

IT’S OUR JOB????

A comment from a player that came out from last week’s game that raised the eyebrows of the umpire in charge. When not awarded a free that the player thought he deserved, he paid out on the umpire, and the umpire replied in kind. The player was taken aback by the reply and duly said “you can’t talk to me like that” the umpires reply was “you talked to me like that” the players answer was “but it’s your job to take abuse”. Seriously guys it’s our jobs? – we don’t think so!!!!

QUIET MILESTONE Congratulations to Darren (Daggles) Dalgleish who quietly clocked up his 350th VAFA game in an under 19s game last weekend. Well done Daggles, the work you do with our young umpires is greatly appreciated by the reast of the coaching group as well as the umpires themselves.

HARRIS FAMILY BUTCHERS Don’t forget our sponsors who have been doing a sensational job all season in supplying our barby meat at our VAFAUA meetings. Go down and visit them at 73 Mackie Road East Bentleigh and they’ll look after you.

BACK FROM HOLIDAYS Like most clubs, from time to time umpires like players have holidays during the footy season. As such your return to the fold is not an automatic entry from the level you left. Greg Rolfe made his way back after a two week layoff on a Pacific cruise by running in Premier C. The problem for Rolfey was the one-pace running he was showing due to that lifebuoy that had remained stuck around his stomach after the safety demonstrations on board the ship. That buffet is always a trap! Poor Rolfey got seen by an observer, and at quarter time instead of speaking to him the observers comments were to his partner Alex Anthony, “Alex, you don’t have to do all the running, look at how big this bloke is let him do it.” Better showing from Rolfey in the next 3 quarters, and we’re sure he’ll return to the higher sections today.

CONGRATULATIONS Has been a long journey, but finally a female field umpire has made it into Premier B this week. Not since scribe Leah Gallagher broke into then B Grade in 2001 has another female field umpire reached this level. So congratulations Jayde Daly and enjoy the day.

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO Friday night lights brought UHS-VU a victory that they needed against Richmond Central. Despite a low scoring and inaccurate goal kicking display, the Uni boys got the job done away from home at the famous Victoria Park. With both these sides unable to make finals in 2013, any success they can gain from the next three weeks will assist them moving forward.

Credit goes to St Bernards as they put up a good challenge to ladder leaders Kew. The Snowdogs led by power forward Jeremy Sullivan with 4, had the lead at the last break but the Giants undefeated streak continued as they claimed victory by 5 points with Robert Maibaum kicking 6. This performance shows that they will be a force to be reckoned with come finals time.

St Mary’s Salesian were disappointing at home against fourth placed Point Cook who dominated right from the start, 52 points the final margin with Kurt Mayne kicking 5 for the victors. The Saints, who will miss September action, will be looking to make the most of their last 3 games of season 2013.

Despite the 20 point loss, Collegians were competitive against Werribee who have been a great side all season. Notwithstanding the Lions inability to score for three quarters, they will take some confidence out of the performance.

With two rounds to go, the top two are set and there is only opportunity for St Bernards to sneak into the four.

PRELIMINARY FINALS 13 Semi final weekend produced mainly one-sided games. Two first semi finals provided close results whilst the others were over early as a contest.

We look forward to 3 close contests in Sunday’s preliminary finals.

REVIEW OF SEMI-FINALS: SECTION 1 1st Semi Final: St Bernard’s set up their victory with a 23 point lead at the first change. De La Salle, who failed to score in the first quarter, put themselves back into contention by half time when they trailed by 5 points. St Bernard’s with 4 unanswered goals in the third quarter established a 32 point lead by the last change which De La Salle were unable to make up despite doubling their score in the last quarter.

St Bernard’s winning margin was 13 points. Chris Mitchell with 7 goals proved the match winner for St Bernard’s. De La Salle captain Tom Kovarik with 4 goals tried valiantly to lift his side.

2nd Semi Final: Prahran/Assumption trailed the unbeaten Old Xaverians by 9 points at half time and an upset result was on the cards. However, the undefeated “Crocodiles” asserted their authority throughout the second half by kicking 14 goals to 1 as the “2-Blues” match fitness was again found lacking on a big ground. Old Xaverians’ winning margin was 90 points. Nick Corcoran with 5 goals, John Grigg and Nick Larkins were best for the winners while for Prahran/Assumption the best were the veteran Craig Berger with 4 goals and former University Blue Damian Guengerich SECTION 2 1st Semi Final: Ormond led throughout the game against Williamstown C.Y.M.S. and held an 18 point lead at the final siren. Williamstown C.Y.M.S. outscored their opponents in the last quarter and a close finish seemed likely until a late Ormond goal against the trend of play sealed their victory. Best for Ormond included: ex umpire, Josh Cuikerman, hard hitting forward, Jarred Harry (3 goals) and 58

key forward, Daniel Brosnan (5 goals). For the vanquished C.Y.s, Nick Keating and Tom BurnsWallace were best.

2nd Semi Final: Undefeated, Hawthorn, proved their superiority over Emmaus St Leo’s for the second successive week with a resounding victory by 118 points.

“The Animals” were held goalless in the first half as Hawthorn powered to a 53 point lead at the long interval. The second half saw a continuation of the Hawthorn dominance as they erased bitter memories of losses on Sports Cover Arena. Anthony Demetriou and Con Terzoglou were named as Hawthorn’s best. For the losers: Captain Oliver Scott and the consistent Mark Petryk were named best.

SECTION 3 1st Semi Final Kew bounced back into contention with a comfortable 39 point victory over University High School/ V.U whose failure to score in the opening quarter as well as their inability to kick goals meant Kew was never seriously challenged. Dion Abel and Jarrod Balme were best for the winners whilst for the defeated “Combine” the consistent, Arthur Thomasse and Shaquille Parker were best.

2nd Semi Final: Conditions at Sports Cover Arena on Friday night proved difficult for each team, who each were held scoreless in a quarter. Inaccuracy by Richmond Central in the second quarter could have cost them dearly BUT their opponents, Eley Park were unable to press home any possible advantage. At half time, ,Richmond Central clung to a twelve point lead, which, against the first half scoring pattern, they were able to increase to fourteen points by three quarter time. The “Cardinals” finished the game in fine style as they built their lead to thirty five points by the final siren. Their best were versatile ruckman, Peter Iser and Captain, Robert Nolan. For Eley Park.

Dougal Pumpa and Brendan Donally were best.

PREVIEW OF PRELIMINARY FINALS SECTION 1 St Bernard’s enter today’s game with confidence as they defeated Prahran/Assumption in Round 8.

The Two Blues nadir was their forfeit in Round 2.

St Bernard’s come into today’s match fresher than THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

their older opposition, many of whose players were forced to chase during their second half capitulation last Sunday. Match fitness and the big ground are two reasons I select St Bernard’s today although prevailing conditions could well prove detrimental to the side losing the toss.

Each team has a key forward capable of kicking his side to victory. Who of Craig Berger (Prahran/ Assumption) and Chris Mitchell (St Bernard’s) asserts superiority over opposition defenders could well become the match winner. Although I respect the ability of many Prahran/ Assumption players, I hold the belief they will lack the running fitness to win this game.

SECTION 1 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 42 / 74%) Prahran Assumption v St Bernards

SECTION 2 Today’s opponents Emmaus/ St Leo’s and Ormond have each defeated the other during the season.

Last week Ormond played well and had system in their forward line where Jarred Harry and Daniel Brosnan reigned supreme. On the other hand Emmaus/ St Leo’s were never in the contest against Hawthorn and today they must make a comeback of Lazarian proportions to defeat Ormond. “The Animal’s” stars must shine today if the side is to win. I believe the big ground will mitigate against them and that Ormond will win the right to challenge Hawthorn next Sunday.2nd Semi: Hawthorn, undefeated over the home and away series, meet Emmaus/ St Leos whom the “Hawks” easily defeated last week. It would appear that Hawthorn will be too strong all over the field.

Although I am mindful that Emmaus / St Leos have some star players who will trouble the “Hawks”.

Further Hawthorn do not have a good record on the big Sportscover Arena, which could prove to be a chink in their armour. Nonetheless, Hawthorn have proven worthy of selection.

SECTION 2 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 51 / 80%) Ormond v Emmaus St Leos

SECTION 3 Today’s opponents Eley Park and Kew have met three times this season and the “Sharks” have won all three albeit by less each time. Eley Park forward, Josh Baker looms as a major threat to Kew, of whom I have formed the opinion that THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2013

although they win the ball around the ground, they have trouble converting opportunities.

From observations, I believe Eley Park possesses a deeper range of talent than does Kew and as a consequence I select Eley Park to win this contest.

SECTION 3 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 35 / 73%) Eley Park Sharks v Kew
