VAFA PREMIER SECTION LEADS ALL COMERS As we look forward to the second half of the year and our team’s position in the battle for finals and relegation, it is worth taking a look our scores and competitive balance for the first nine rounds.

Table 1 shows the Average Winning margins for each senior section in each round to Round 9.

Div 4 68 74 50 62 43 58 53 68 39 57.2

In the VAFA’s Strategic Plan, the aim is to have an Average Winning Margin at less than 50 points where the competitions are graded and less than 60 when it is geographically in our Under 19’s.

In our senior sections, five of the seven sections are under the targeted level. Division 2 is just over at 51.1 with Division 4 at 57.2. The relegation matches in the top six sections ensure all matches remain competitive until the end of the season.

This obviously doesn’t occur in Division 4 and a new creative finish to the year may be beneficial to that section. Creative ways need to be considered to ensure the players in the lower clubs in that section remain motivated. One possibility is that after Round 9 the competition could split into two where the top 6 - 8 progress and the bottom 4 are either placed into the Club XVIII or Thirds competitions where a possibility of finals still existed.

The second table compares our Premier Section with Division 1 in the other 5 metropolitan competitions. Our Premier Section provides the most competitive matches with an AWM of only 32.1 points. This is an excellent result and with the fight for relegation looking hotter than ever we would envisage that this would be maintained for the reminder of the season.

It is important to track ourselves against our rivals in Melbourne and it is pleasing to see that we are the most competitive. Our senior representative team have proven to be the best and one could translate that we provide the competition with the highest standard and these figures show us to also be the most competitive.

What these statistics prove to me is that the promotion and relegation system, which involves two teams, in our senior sections is the cornerstone that ensures our competitiveness. I will take a look at our junior sections next week; but it is also worth noting that the average winning margin in the AFL this year after 9 rounds was 37 points, so we are ahead there too.

NICE AND SQUEEZY Herzliche glückwünsche Deutschland – World Champions. Whilst we thankfully haven’t embraced the American ways, there is enough evidence to suggest the winner of the Premier Section premiership could be described as World Champions of Amateur Australian rules football.

Round 11 saw a tightening up of the ladder as the top two and the bottom three all won. Only two games separates 4th from 10th. Everyone is a chance to make the four, which means that all of those seven clubs are a chance to be relegated.

There are some tantalising match ups to come, but a win now is just as valuable as one in round 18.

What Beaumaris would do for a win? The Sharks have been in free fall for a month. Old Scotch presently hold fourth but a 5-6 record isn’t an impressive way to make such a claim. A number of people think the Old Xavs rebuild might see them make a run at the four. At this stage I can’t see it happening; but no doubt the reigning premiers will be the first to tell me about it when they somehow sneak in. The relegation battle the most intriguing as there has been in many years. Old Brighton’s form over the past five weeks has been mighty impressive and they will no doubt give Collegians some real concerns this Friday night. What a night it should be, the first Premier (or A Grade) match for premiership points under lights on a Friday night.

Congratulations to all at Collegians for making this a reality, six years of hard work will all come to fruition this Friday – I can’t wait.

Old Brighton reversed the result they suffered against Beaumaris earlier this year with a vital nine point win at the Aquarium. In a local derby that saw the unveiling of new Beaumaris recruit Waylan Manson (from The Recruit on Fox 8) who took a hanger and kicked three goals, the Sharks were out gunned in the last quarter by a desperate and well drilled Old Brighton. Marcel Bruin would be travelling well in the Tonners B&F and again he let his performance do the talking. A Will Murton special – one of his four goals for the day – to the pavilion end in the third had the natives on their feet, but Beaumaris could never shake free of Brighton. Three goals each to Michael Dewar, Michael Karayannis and Daniel Anthony 2

@ Lennytalk demonstrated that when they click together the Tonners can kick a winning score. Beaumaris are in a slump, the return of Raph Clarke soon will help but their better players are being well held and ultimately are leading too much to too few.

Old Xaverians hung on to beat Old Scotch by a kick in their match on Roche Oval at Xavier College.

Recently a return to school has been a happy hunting ground for Xavs and whilst they got the points this time, they were made to earn them by a Cardinals outfit that came home strongly in the last. Despite the closeness of the result poor kicking in the blustery conditions prevented Xaverians from holding a larger advantage to defend in the last. Xavs forward line is still crying out for a smaller option to be at the feet of Handley and Smith. Importantly senior returns of Kennedy and Biddlecombe will help any prospective run to September, although Biddlecombe may have tweaked that hammy again. For the Cardinals it appears their form lives by the availability of their better players that get VFL call ups. Ed Barlow, the match winner from their win against this opposition last time and Aidan Franetic their best from their win against Blacks both missed this clash. Rupert Wills was again strong for Scotch whilst Waller – again important – and youngster Jaryd Skene shone for Xavs.

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers hoisted the La Sallian Cup after they held De La Salle to just 28 points at Brindisi St. The Tigers didn’t exactly kick a cricket score themselves, however they seemingly always had this game in control. Tim Doherty is having an exceptional season and again he provided the run and creativity for St Bedes/Mentone. Young ruckman Brayden O’Toole continues to thrive in the middle of the ground and his ability to follow up the ruck contest is to be admired. Paul Wintle is almost the best Mr Fix it in the competition and again he banked another fantastic display in the rainbow sash. For De La Salle the highlights were few, Charlie Haley had another Goal of the Year nomination amongst his three, but no doubt Tom PREMIER — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 37/67%) Collegians v Old Brighton De La Salle v University Blacks Old Scotch v Old Trinity Old Xaverians v Beaumauris St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v St Bernard’s

Humphrey would have requested oxygen after his last quarter screamer.

Old Trinity’s visit to St Bernard’s had been marked on the Snowdogs calendar ever since their round 1 clash that the T’s pinched in the last 20 seconds.

When two of your less experienced players in Isaac Madden and Jesse Manunzio are causing headaches for the opposition you know you are looking good for the day. The St Bernard’s forward line was magnificent. Manunzio and Madden harassed and chased and ended up with five goals between them, but it was the threat of Jones, Merrington and Gleeson that would have been greying Adam Andrews’ hair. Throw into the mix David Wall and you can see why St Bernard’s were able to continue to find a path to goal. All this was not withstanding the defensive effort of the Cavens (Simon shaded Tom on this occasion) and the midfield performance of Sullivan and the work of Nathan Kazuro shadowing Brendan Iezzi all day. All in all it was a fantastic team performance from St Bernard’s. Old Trinity have some concerns.

They played five U19 eligible players in this match.

University Blacks smashed any notion that they might fall into a mid season slump they suffered last year with a comprehensive win over Collegians. Defensively it was a Blacks master class, Thomas and Pitt are playing great football.

Led by Willingham in the ruck, the Blacks midfield had a field day, Mahon, Hogan – who has found his groove in recent weeks – and Lacey all getting their hands on the ball. Tyson Kruse is just about the recruit of the year and the spread of goal kickers at Blacks is to be admired. This time 12 players split the middle; Pattison with another three was well supported by Slabbert and Locke.

They are in ominous form. It is unfortunate they will only meet St Bernard’s again in round 18, a match that is likely to be the first of two clashes in a row. The Collegians side was very inexperienced and it showed. Let’s hope the break has some big names back to feature under lights.

NODDERS TRUMP BLUES Mazenod upset Uni Blues by a point at home; Fitzroy hold on in a close one against Old Haileybury; Melburnians silence AJAX to continue a mid season charge; St Kevins solid over Caulfield Grammarians to remain in the top four; and Old Carey a class above Old Ivanhoe.

Mazenod provided what was arguably the upset of the entire VAFA competition in round 12, toppling top-of-the-table Uni Blues by a single point. After a relatively even first quarter, Blues took the advantage in the second term and as has become habit looked set to kick away. However, Mazenod hung tough, kicking two goals in the final term to the Blues’ six behinds, and taking out the match in a low scoring thriller. Michael Johnson and Josh Cowan were both mighty for the victors, winning lots of ball and using it well, including a goal each. While Francis Reed, Tom Chambers, Ben Phibbs (including a goal of the year contender) and Liam Welsford were all gutsy in a Mazeond side that showed some serious grit in grinding out a come from behind victory against the Premier B stalwarts.

Fitzroy kept themselves among the midst of serious top four contenders, with a close win against a hearty Old Haileybury outfit. The game was close all day, and the lead shared by both teams at different intervals. The last quarter saw a number of lead changes as Haileybury added to the scoreboard and rattled the Fitzroy cage. With scores level, Rory Angiolella burst free from a pack and kicked a stunning captains goal, putting the ‘Roys back in front and sealing the game. Angionella‘s return to the Roys side was huge, his three goals and ubiquitousness around stoppages commanding in a stand out best-on-ground performance. Tom Cheshire and Matt Brown were the pick of the bunch in a mighty Fitzroy team performance, while Hamish McLauchlan and Adam Weekes cannot be overlooked as brave players in a courageous Haileybury effort, nor for that matter, Michael Meehan who kicked four majors.

Old Melburnians has officially entered the finals race; with an impressive win over second placed 4

AJAX. After a low scoring opening term saw the Jackas assume the lead, Melburnians kicked ahead of their rivals. The Jackas managed to stay in touch until three quarter time, before the Dark Blues surged away to a comfortable victory.

The victors were the more desperate of the sides all day, winning far more contested ball, and using it more cleanly. Cam Beck controlled the Melburnian’s forward line, kicking four majors and contributing to a number of others. Andrew Prowse and Will Thompson were solid through the middle, setting up Melburnians often and making contests at every opportunity.

St Kevins needed a win after a round 11 loss to Old Melburnians, and with an injury depleted outfit, managed an impressive victory against Caulfield Grammarians. SKOB kicked five goals in the first and second quarters, to completely blow away their rivals early. Seven more goals for the rest of the game saw that St Kevins cruised to a comfortable home victory against a Caulfield side that was plucky after a previous week’s win over Fitzroy. Henry Parkes in his 50th game was classy up forward for SKOB, with five goals, while Tom Cunningham and the Gleeson’s, Gerard and Chris stood up for a St Kevins team which, on some occasions this year has appeared to lack depth.

Will Coates and Nick Wood again found lots of the ball for SKOB, while young two’s elevation Anthony Kirwan was strong in defence, augmenting the point that the boys at TH King have found some depth players, which is now an important factor for a St Kevin’s side that has had more than their fair share of injuries.

Old Carey proved their class with a decisive win over luckless Old Ivanhoe. A six goal to none opening term to the visitors sealed the fate of the game. The match quickly became a Panthers PREMIER B — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 32/53%) Fitzroy v Mazenod Old Carey v Caulfield Grammarians Old Ivanhoe v Old Melburnians AJAX v St Kevins University Blues v Old Haileybury

procession thereafter; although, the ‘Hoes weren’t starved of ball, winning some of the contested possession, but ultimately butchering it in front of goal. Joel Rice again starred for the Panthers, everywhere at stoppages and with a handy goal to top the best list. Ben Fordham kicked four majors, while Laidlaw and Smithwick kicked a trio each, stellar performances that will be difficult for any team to overcome if delivered at finals time.

Following a well earned break, this week’s fixtures make for some salivating contests. Fitzroy take on a Mazenod outfit that is beginning to find some serious form, and could place themselves in the finals hunt with a win this week. Equally important for the ‘Roys, this game provides a chance to move well and truly into the top four. Old Carey have

the chance to remain a game clear over SKOB and AJAX in second position, with a game against Caulfield Grammarians at home, while a Caulfield win could see them move to just within striking distance of the four. Old Melburnians will look to scramble closer to the top four with a win against Old Ivanhoe. Third and fourth placed AJAX and St Kevins square off in what will be a fascinating contest at Gary Smorgon oval, which could define finals campaigns for both sides. While University Blues will surely come out rabid after a long break, seeking to avenge last fortnight’s loss with a resounding victory over Old Haileybury.

PREMIER C

PIRATES GET THE FOUR POINTS As we reflect on round 12 action, teams have had a weekend off to lick their wounds and savor season defining wins. Peninsula and the Hampton Rovers registered vital wins in the context of their seasons, knocking off their fancied rivals, to both now sit in 3rd and 4th respectively. Peninsula’s gritty fourpoint away win against PEGS has seen them leap back into finals contention, whilst Hampton’s 69 point win against ladder leaders Marcellin came as a surprise to many.

A big congratulations to the five Premier C representatives who played against Vic Country over the weekend in the VAFA Premier B - Division 4 side. Leigh Fletcher (Hampton Rovers), Cameron Livori (PEGS), Ben Amberg (Monash Blues), Tim McKenzie (Monash Blues) and Dermott Cleary (Oakleigh) all took part in the match and did the Premier C Division proud.

The match between Rovers and ladder leading Marcellin was played in stark contrast to the hype surrounding its build up. When first takes on third you don’t expect such a one sided affair. However that is how things unfolded at Boss James a fortnight ago when Hampton produced one of its finest performances of the year, dispatching of Marcellin by 69 points. Perhaps the traditional mid-season exodus has stung the Eagles. Carlson and Blanch tried valiantly to limit the onslaught, however there was little they could do as the Rovers put their foot on the gas in the premiership quarter. Trailing by 21 points at the main break, any hopes of an Eagles revival were quickly extinguished when the home side booted seven third term goals. Verlin and McPherson were potent up forward for the Rovers, each contributing with three goals. The Eagles will look to rectify their poor showing with a win at home against the struggling Ormond.

The Blues have retained second spot on the ladder, fending off a gallant Parkdale outfit by 17 points at Frearson Oval. When you come up against the Vultures you know you are going to be in for a tough day at the office. The Vultures have beaten teams inside the four and have proved they can 6

match it with the very best. This was particularly true on Saturday, when Monash were forced to overcome a three quarter time deficit to clinch victory late in the game. The match was an armwrestle for three quarters until the Blues kicked clear in the final term with three goals to none.

Davidson and Meade lifted when it counted for the Blues, whilst Carr’s two goals were crucial in such a low scoring affair. For the Vultures Graham and Meyer were standout performers.

Old Camberwell has further climbed its way out of relegation territory with a six point win over Banyule at Gordon Barnard Reserve. Indicative of the way the match was contested, the deciding goal came in the dying minutes. Scores were tied at 78 apiece with a minute remaining, until a Daniel De Sanctis bomb from fifty meters out edged the Wellers clear. From the ensuing ballup the Wellers managed to win a vital clearance, holding off the Bears to record an important win.

For the Bears Michael Italia continued his recent run of stellar performances, adding another three goals to his tally, while Nick Biscontin claimed best afield honors. In the battle of the midfields Kapoor and Clarke won plenty of the ball for the Wellers, meanwhile in attack the Wellers received an even contribution from their forwards, with four players kicking multiple goals. The Bears were in the hunt all day and could’ve pinched the game, had they created more final quarter opportunities.

In another upset of the round, the Pirates managed to hold off a fast finishing PEGS by four points, to record a telling victory. In a game that lacked consistency from both sides, it was a tale of two halves. The Pirates had opened up a 40 point half time buffer, but could only register two more goals for the day. While PEGS produced eight second half goals to almost snatch victory.

was instrumental all day for the Pirates as was tackling machine George Fletcher. As Khallouf (5) and Forrest (3) lifted their output up forward PEGS could smell victory and were well within striking distance. However it wasn’t to be. Deep into the final term, one final PEGS surge saw the ball sail into their forward line only to be spoiled by young Pirate Tom Feldgen. As the siren rang, the Pirates had clinched the four points.

Oakleigh’s 92 point dismantling of Ormond has seen them shoot right back into finals contention.

Now only one game outside the four, the win was season defining for the Krushers. On what was a dark day for the Monders they could only manage four goals for the afternoon. Krushers by name crushers by nature. Up by 39 points at the major break, Oakleigh refused to show any mercy towards their rivals, slamming on nine second half goals to one. Upstill and Gay battled tirelessly for Ormond, but faced a difficult task combatting the likes of Luke Andreatta, Gary Bennett and

PREMIER C

The Eagles will be hoping to use the bye round as springboard to tackle the six remaining rounds, their first hurdle is to dispose of Ormond this Saturday. A minor hiccup last week shouldn’t halt PEGS’ quest for an 8th win of the year against the Vultures at home. In what shapes as a blockbuster clash I expect the Pirates to spoil the party for the Rovers after a recent run of impressive form.

Monash will be eyeing off a percentage-boosting win, when they take on Banyule. In the other match of the round (Oakleigh) 6th plays (Old Camberwell) 8th, with the result set to have a major bearing on these two teams’ ambitions of playing finals football.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

FORE! BEWARE OF THE SNAKES

Many clubs fear going to the ‘Snakepit’ of St Bernard’s and we have worked out it has nothing to do with the home side’s great record there.

Everyone that knows the St Bernard’s College main oval in West Essendon will be familiar with the natural amphitheatre surroundings off the ground, which sits at the bottom of a bowl.

On the outer wing, the hill of grass seemingly goes up for ever. A fortnight ago in the Premier match between St Bernard’s and Old Trinity, the ball found its way out of bounds on the outer side of the ground. Players from both sides,

SAINTS WIN AT LAST When a club breaks a drought in football, those wins invariably feel like the best wins of all. Whether it is a premiership drought or as was the case with Glen Eira last week, a winless drought, the moment after the game in the rooms with your mates always has more emotion and energy in the rendition of the club song. So after 708 days, or almost two full seasons, Glen Eira Saints finally won a senior match when they defeated Elsternwick two weeks ago in Division 2. The Saints won by 18 points to record their first senior win since Round 14 2012 against Old Mentonians

and boundary umpire took a few minutes to locate the ball, which had disappeared into the long grass. The rest of the ground watched on, hands on hips, like there was a slow group of four in range just off the fairway, frustrated they couldn’t hit their tee shot. Whether there are snakes in the hills around the ‘Snakepit’ is unknown, but with the temperature struggling to reach double figures, we would like to think that they are all tucked up under rocks hibernating before scaring the cricketers in the summer.

in Division 1. That was a series of 33 matches without a win. Congratulations to everyone at Glen Eira on persisting and we are sure more wins are around the corner soon.

ORMOND SUPPORT FOR MARCELLIN Stories in Amateur football don’t get much better than this. Two weeks ago, Marcellin OCFC publicised that they were suffering financial difficulties and the club promoted an open letter to the general public, but more so directed at everyone associated within the Marcellin OCFC. Ormond AFC came across their plea for help and have kindly donated some funds to the Marcellin via sponsorship and a donation, all of which everyone at Marcellin though was just an outstanding gesture.

Ormond President Richard Simon wrote directly to the club and whilst not looking for public celebration was happy to have his letter to Marcellin published.

Hi Tim and Mark The financial challenge that Marcellin OCFC currently finds itself in was brought to my attention yesterday, and I really felt for you guys and the committee upon reading your open letter to members and supporters of the Marcellin family.

I put it to my committee yesterday via a flurry of emails that Ormond AFC has to assist one of our ‘own’. I was absolutely thrilled that they all agreed to my suggestion that the Ormond AFC become a ’social member’ of Marcellin OCFC ($150) and will make a further donation of $100. Last night I announced to the playing group during team selection announcements that the Club had agreed to assist one of our fellow Premier C clubs, and it was then volunteered that the proceeds from the players’ weekly Thursday night raffle also be donated ($83.50).

So from Ormond AFC, please accept $333.50, being a social membership, a Club donation ($100) and the players’ donation. The money will be EFT’ed overnight.

Keep the merchandise items, but a letter or notice confirming our membership would be great so I can put it on the Club’s noticeboard.

Use my name, email and phone if you need those details to complete the membership.

I also read with interest that our return match is a designated luncheon. Send me a flyer and I will ensure we get some Monders supporters along to it.

All of the above dependent upon on at least a 15 point head start for our seniors on the 19 July – Hahaha!!!

All the best with your call to arms, and I look forward to seeing you all on the 19 July at the luncheon.

Richard Simon President Ormond Amateur Football Club

GAMES AGAINST OPPOSITION CLUBS CONTINUE: A fantastic story out of PEGS has come to our attention. Jess Mules has this season been running the boundary for the PEGS U19 North team this year. Nothing too strange about that you might think. There are many female umpires in the VAFA these days. Jess isn’t only a female umpire but she is the mother of PEGS U19 player Tommy Mules. As PEGS Football Operations Manager Sean Flaherty said, “Over the 15 seasons I have been involved in VAFA football I have never seen one of the mums put out their hand to run the boundary. I just think it is a fantastic effort and is a huge assistance to our U19’s when we have Jess, who will put up her hand to do any job.”

LOVE THE GAME FORFOR THETHE LOVE OFOF THE GAME

TOUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE FOR VAFA REP SIDES Last weekend’s bye for club footy meant that the VAFA had representative teams in action. This time it was the turn of the Premier B-Division side and the VAFA U19 representative teams.

Both teams were two of the most diverse the VAFA have ever fielded in terms of the number of clubs represented from across the sections.

Both coaching panels led by Brett Voss (coach off Prem B- Div 4) and David Gately (coach of U19s) did a great job bringing the teams together.

Unfortunately for both sides, their country opposition were stronger on the day. Both matches were convincingly won by AFL Victoria Country’s U19s in the first game and by their Country Number 2 team in the senior game. After winning the U19 match last year, our U19 boys led at quarter time but found the large ground at S Albans Reserve in Geelong difficult to score on after that. Anthony Scott (Old Trinity) was awarded the VAFA’s best player, whilst Mitchell Malt (Whitefriars) was awarded the Spirit of the Big V for his efforts over the four quarters.

In the senior match the story was only marginally better. The Premier B – Division 4 were right in the contest and had got back to within three goals half way through the third before a couple of goals to the country made the deficit five goals at three quarter time. As so often happens in these one off games, the first goal was vital and when the Country kicked the first couple, the VAFA side’s ability to win had faded, resulting in the last quarter being a bit off a blow out. Never the less, Cam Livori (PEGS) was awarded the best player medal whilst Steven Puhar (Williamstown CYMS) was presented with the Spirit of the Big V for his four quarter display.

VAFA BOYS DOMINATE IN VIC METRO WIN It was better news for the VAFA in the other representative match last week. Our four representatives in the AFL Victoria Metro team all played very well in their win over AFL Victoria Country in the AFL Victoria Community Cup. The VAFA’s four all played key roles in the Metro’s 38 point victory at Werribee’s Avalon Airport Oval.

Old Melburnians skipper Tom Paule won the best on ground medal for his work through the

midfield; Paule won clearance after clearance for the Metro team.

Paule had contenders for the medal from his own VAFA colleagues as all of Will Tardiff (Collegians), Joel Rice (Old Carey) and Jack Bull (Old Scotch) were also prominent in the win. The Metro team was made up of players from the six Melbourne Metropolitan competitions in Melbourne and it was their second quarter of 5.5 to 1 goal that made the difference in the end.

Congratulations to St. Marys Salesian’s MITCH OP’T HOOG – Mitch began with the Club’s under age teams and is a “chunky” onballer and forward, hard at the ball and dangerous around the goals. Mitch is a respected clubman and has many good years of footy to come.

VAFA CONGRATULATES YOU IN REACHING THE MILESTONE

100

Congratulations to Swinburne University’s LEE DALTON – Lee was a member of the 2012 Reserves Premiership team and has since consolidated himself as an integral member of the Senior side. What he lacks in stature he certainly makes up for with his uncompromising and fearless attack on the ball, often competing against beating bigger opponents. His ability to read the play allows him to play many positions.

100

Congratulations to AJAX’s JOSH LUDSKI – “Luddo” won his first Club Best & Fairest in 2012, as well as representing the Big V in South Australia in the same year. In 2011 he was an integral part of the Premiership team and was named in the C Grade Team of the Year. Strong and determined, Josh again wore the coveted Big V in Tasmania this year. AJAX supporters look forward to seeing this left footed midfielder for many years to come.

100

Congratulations to Swinburne University’s’ BEN HIGGINS – A Best and Fairest winner in his debut season in 2012, Ben was an important cog in helping the club reach the Division 4 Grand Final. This quietly spoken CHB is a formidable thorn to opposition forwards with a great ability to take a contested mark.

100

Congratulations to HAMISH TOWNSEND on 100 games at ST KEVIN’S OB. Hailing from Lake Cargelligo, NSW and chasing a VFL career Hammer said, “It was pure chance that led me to SKOB, I needed to find a local club and SKOB was the closest to where I was living.” Hammer has won a reserves B&F in ’09 and played his 50th senior game, also his 100th in the win over Caulfield.

100

Congratulations to HENRY PARKES on 50 games at ST KEVIN’S OB. Henry has made an impact like no other for SKOB. His contribution to the senior side in such a short time-frame cannot be understated. He has already kicked over 100 goals for the club - in Round 6 this year - an achievement reached in record time for SKOB.

50

Congratulations to Richmond Central’s JOSH SHARP – Josh arrived at the club in 2011 from Bendigo and immediately established himself as a key component of the Senior side, sorely missed in the Grand Final after breaking his leg in the Semi Final. He soon returned to top form and has since become an invaluable part of club life.

50

Congratulations to Richmond Central’s PETER ISER – Peter arrived during the inaugural Club XVIII intake in 2011, immediately making a name for himself with his attack on the ball and dash off half back. He was outstanding in the 2013 Premiership side.

50

Congratulations to St Johns’ DWAYNE FERNANDEZ – Dwayne arrived at St Johns OC in 2009, where he has played both U18’s and Reserves football. He played in the Reserves one point loss in the 2011 Preliminary Final. Dwayne is a reliable defender who is rarely beaten.

DOUBLE CHANCE BUFFER In the battle to secure second spot and its ever important double chance, NOBS/St Pats and Williamstown CYMS went head to head in the match of the round. Ladder positions and finals aspirations weren’t as significant as the 4-point buffer on the line. With both sides holding an 8-3 win-loss record, a cushion between one another could prove instrumental in the back half of the season. Williamstown were the ones to grasp the opportunity with both hands in a stirring victory away from home. The confrontation was a mirror image of their previous bout in round 6. The CY’s earned the box seat position, their form in the remaining weeks will determine if they keep it.

The matchup saw NOBS/St Pats take the ascendancy in the first, nailing eight majors past the CY’s and kicking more than half their eventual total in a quarter. Aided by a strong breeze Williamstown repeated the exploits of their previous meeting. They would not be rattled by an opening term blowout as they reined in the deficit to eight points by the long break. The defining quarter would be the third as the Nobs were unable to make most of the breeze and create a defining lead. NOBSPC tried to hold onto their slender advantage in the last, staying within a kick up to the 10 minute mark, but inevitably the CY’s cruised past late to seal a 27-point victory. With Nobs big man and possibly their best player this year, Peter Shepherd a late withdrawal, Williamstown ruckman, Steven Puhar took advantage and dominated the contest in the air and in the centre earning best on ground honours.

Old Geelong again proved, when they’re on song they’re a menace to the rest of the competition, as they demolished Yarra Valley. The OG’s didn’t waste any time in their arrival at Doncaster Reserve, booting six goals in the first and six more in the second, to see the game as a contest conclude. The 45-point lead at halftime grew exponentially once play recommenced. As good sides do, Old Geelong didn’t rest on their laurels and kept the pressure on the Bushrangers and ended the match with a game-high 81-point 16

advantage. Alex Stewart (6) and Callum Wood (5) did majority of the scoring for Old Geelong, while Xavier Shiels did damage at the other end in a B.O.G performance. The OG’s made the jump into the top four with the healthy victory and with performances like this they will should consolidate their position in the coming weeks.

Whitefriars recorded the upset of the round, as the knocked Prahran Assumption out of the top four and handed the Two Blues consecutive upset losses. The Friars were ready to play from the first bounce and set up a low scoring affair, which would heavily favour their style of play.

Whitefriars’ scoring power improved but their defensive efforts increased out of sight. A one point lead at quarter time grew to nine points at the half, but it was the third term that delivered the game-winning push. The Friars kicked four goals, which in retrospect was as deafening as eight. From here, Whitefriars coasted to a 26-point win off the back of Alex Marcello’s outing in the midfield and a team effort in front of goal. The win keeps the Friars somewhat safe from relegation as they move two games clear of ninth place.

Although they wouldn’t publicise it, Therry Penola are chasing an undefeated season. The Lions took one step closer to the unspoken goal as they wiped the floor with Bulleen Templestowe. A goalless first quarter along with six goals kicked against them, dissipated Bulleen Templestowe’s chance of the upset of the season.

With the wind they weren’t much better, as they kicked one goal and were confronting a 41-point deficit after halftime. Therry Penola doubled their goal tally in the third as the margin edged ever closer to the century mark. The Bullants kept some face with four goals in the last and reduced the final margin to 77-points. With no surprises, the Bannister brothers fronted the Lion’s goal kickers as Jarrod slotted seven while Corey kicked three.

Old Mentonians evened their season at 6-6 in their win over the struggling MHSOB. The Melbourne High School Old Boys put up a fight and were in touching distance until the final minutes, until the Panthers’ polish shined brighter. Luke Hull playing his 100th game, kicked the opener for OMFC as the visitors made an early break, only for MHSOB to draw the deficit back – a repeated scenario throughout the match. The Unicorns drew back to within 10-points in the last, but Old Mentonians finally caught a break towards the end of the last and created a gap MHSOB couldn’t bridge. Darcy Brown was deemed best on with his five goals in the 23-point victory.

the Bushrangers to get back into the winner’s circle. Old Mentonians travel to Williamstown CYMS, the CY’s will hold onto second spot with a victory at home. MHSOB play Whitefriars in a must win if they are to avoid relegation, however Whitefriars will make in two on the trot and defeat the Unicorns. In the match of the round, Therry Penola host NOBS/St Pats. NOBs pushed the Lions to the limit in their previous outing and this is the biggest test to Therry Penola’s undefeated streak thus far. With that being said, I predict the Lions’ win steak to stretch to 13.

This week, Old Geelong host Prahran Assumption, the two are currently in complete different veins of form and I predict the OG’s to keep winning.

Yarra Valley face Bulleen Templestowe, expect

SAINTS BREAK DROUGHT It’s taken 708 days, but for Glen Eira, the drought is finally over. They have not saluted since July 2012 and to everyone’s delight – except Elsternwick’s – the Saints finally have four points in the winner’s column. What a couple of weeks Elsternwick has had. They knock off the previously undefeated Kew one week, and get beaten by the winless cellar dwellers the next. Fair to say the Wicks would have enjoyed the weekend off, in what was an extremely frustrating performance. On the other side of the coin, one would excuse the Saints had celebrations continued over the bye weekend. Glen Eira will try and bottle that emotion and take it into this week, against Old Paradians at Garvey Oval. The Raiders will be smarting after a disappointing performance.

They went down in what many saw as an upset to a South Melbourne side building some serious form as of late. Having pushed Kew all way a couple of weeks ago and recorded a solid win against Monash last round, the Districts were primed. The win leaves the Raiders vulnerable to the chasing pack, while it gives South Melbourne breathing space from the bottom-two. St Johns made their biggest statement of 2014, with a commanding win over Ivanhoe. The win saw the JOCs take fifth spot as they look to make a late season charge for the top-four. For Ivanhoe, wins against St Johns last week and Old Paradians a week earlier would have cemented them a spot in the top-four. Instead they are now in a two horse race with St Johns, who is starting to hit their straps at the right time of year. They both also have South Melbourne nipping at their heels.

Old Eltham gave their supporters and coaching staff a fright as they scrounged their way to a 10 point win over bottom-two side Monash.

It started well for the Turtles as they held the Gryphons goalless in the first. But Monash caught Old Eltham napping in the second and capitalised with five goals and trailed by a miserly three points at the half. The Turtles were keen 18

to not let one slip as they came out in the third full of vigour, holding Monash goalless for the second time and slammed on seven of their own.

It was that sort of game. In the last the Turtles shut up shop as the Gryphons found something, and slotted home seven last quarter goals all to no avail. The Turtles held on by two kicks.

What a difference a week makes. Riding high on the emotion of their stunning upset over the undefeated Kew a week earlier, Elsternwick had the winless Glen Eira in their sights. Keen to win two in a row for the first time this year, the Wicks should have been on top of their game.

But they were found wanting. After both sides were scoreless in the first, it was clear a classic wasn’t on the cards. What is that saying about assumption? The next three quarters were a dog fight and the last was a shootout. Six goals to five saw Glen Eira scrape home by 18 points in a win that will no doubt have been celebrated well into the night.

The top of the table clash at Ferndale Park lived up to its hype and saw Kew retain their spot at the top of tree. After their thriller earlier in the year and St Mary’s Salesian’s irresistible form at home, a classic was on the cards and thankfully both sides delivered. The Saints got off to a flyer and held Kew goalless taking a 26 point lead into quarter-time. A second loss in a row was on the cards if the Bears didn’t get the game back on their terms. The next three quarters were a titanic struggle. Both sides had their moments but the Saints could not put the Bears away as they slowly cut the lead to seven, setting up a tense final term.

moments in games and want the ball in their hands and stand-in skipper Andrew Brazzale did just that. Three last quarter goals got his side home by 10 points in a gruelling encounter.

South Melbourne made everyone sit-up and take notice as they held off a fast finishing Old Paradians by eight points in their best win of the year. In blustery conditions at Lindsay Hassett Oval the Districts took full advantage of the wind, slamming on five goals to none in a dominant first quarter. The roles were reversed in the second however, and the Raiders gained the ascendency and levelled the scores at half-time.

The third belonged to South Melbourne with a stunning seven goal quarter which equated to a five goal lead heading into the last. The final

DIVISION 2

St Johns reignited their season with an impressive six goal win over fifth placed Ivanhoe. It has been a year of “could have beens” for the JOCs who have been in every game but lapses of form, discipline and concentration have cost them. On Saturday those were still there to see but so was their ferocity at the contest, the pressure all over the ground and their attacking prowess. Ivanhoe were gallant in defeat but simply ran out of soldiers. They challenged in the third and early in the fourth but were simply outworked and outclassed. St Johns ran out victors by 36 points.

MID-SEMESTER BREAK Six is the magic number. Six games remaining, five teams tied on six wins, battling for two places inside the Division’s top six. Just one-percent separates the last spot in the finals race; St Francis Xavier is currently edging out both Power House and Albert Park. With an abundance of teams set to see players return following the week off, no team is safe in these final rounds of the season and every kick, mark, shepherd and tackle is more vital than ever before.

REVIEW Aquinas used a five-goal quarter time buffer against Eley Park Sharks to snap a four game losing streak and come away with a 35-point win at Aquinas College. Switching Grant Deacon (three goals) from defence into attack in the second-half paid instant dividends for Eley Park as they worked their way back into the contest, however the Aquinas midfield held the Sharks off in the muddy conditions. Tim Miller was resilient in defence for the visitors while Matt Kershaw was stellar for the Bloods who sit third on the ladder.

Chris Beluszar kicked 12 goals for the second week in a row as Emmaus St Leos accounted for UHSVU to the tune of 135-points at Bennettswood Sports Ground. The win extends the animals win streak to nine in a row, building a healthy percentage of 211 during that period. Chris Beluszar now leads all goal-kickers in Division 3 on 45 after accumulating 31 goals in his last three matches. The win sees the Animals move above the Northern Blues to the top of the ladder two thirds of the way through the year. Captain Paul Baranello also kicked six goals in his sides’ win.

La Trobe catapulted themselves back out of the relegation zone after easily defeating South Mornington by 141-points at La Trobe University.

The win sees the Trobers jump into 10th on the ladder ahead of Eley Park on percentage, despite being tied on four wins each after twelve matches. Spearhead Jack McMeel was the pick of the forwards in the contest with nine goals to his 20

name. Eight players combined for La Trobe’s 23 goals in the contest.

In the shock win of the round, Albert Park rallied late in captain Adrian Snowden’s 100th game, to register a one point win over the Northern Blues at Ruthven Reserve. The Blues had a chance to steal the win in the dying stages, however a Nathan Cattle spoil, ensured Ryan Hayes goal was enough to seal a fifth consecutive victory for the Falcons. Stuart Maunder was brilliant in the rousing Albert Park performance while Jay Phelan toiled hard all afternoon for the Blues. The loss sees the Blues concede their place at the top of the ladder to the in-form Emmaus St Leos.

Swinburne University used a defensive mindset to end a two game slide, beating Power House by 24-points at Ross Gregory Oval. The Razorbacks limited the home side to just one first half goal in the impressive victory that sees them go two games clear of fifth position in fourth place on the ladder. Five players combined for the Razorback’s ten goals, with Jackson Manning the best of them with three majors. Power House sit in dangerous territory, level on points with five sides all chasing just a couple of spots in the final six.

Richmond Central recovered from a slow start, to run away with an impressive 45-point win at St Francis Xavier College. The Snakes had 15 more scoring shots than their opponents in the crucial clash. With scores level at half time, the Snakes broke clear in a frantic second half display. Ruckman Dane Roy was a clear best on ground in the contest, while midfielder Sam Burns lead the way for the X-Men. Both sides are now situated fifth and sixth on the ladder on six wins and six losses.

PREVIEW UHS-VU v Aquinas: The Vultures are now in ninth place on the ladder after dropping four games in a row and would have welcomed a week off to re-focus for a tilt at the finals. Aquinas on the other hand will have an eye on a higher finals seed and should be too good at Brens Oval.

Richmond Central v Emmaus St Leos: Despite the recent improvement in Richmond Central’s performances, Emmaus are currently the team to beat and will be looking to bring their winning streak into double-digits.

Albert Park v South Mornington: The Falcons will look to win their sixth game in a row and prepare for a tilt at September with form and confidence

DIVISION 3

Swinburne University v La Trobe University: Swinburne will look to solidify their spot back among Division 3’s premiership contenders with a win against fellow university team La Trobe.

Eley Park Sharks v St Francis Xavier: The Sharks are set to get back key players in Bahnsen, Viola, Pollock and Boyall following the week off and will need them all in full flight to overcome St Francis.

DIVISION 4

BULLS BUCK DRAGONS’ FINALS HOPES An exhausting few weeks featured biblical weather conditions, highly contagious World Cup fever and the release of 22 Jump Street had Division 4 well and truly ready for a weekend of R & R. Westbourne Grammarians hit the break off the back of two gutsy wins and look set to make a play at fourth spot in the last stanza of the 2014 season. The Pies reminded the Cobras who sits where in the pecking order whilst a shock loss sees the Dragons sit at the bottom of the midtable logjam.

A spirited North Brunswick came away from their clash with Dragons four competition points richer. The Bulls have showed promising signs in recent weeks and a win was well deserved for their recent efforts. They hit the ground running with a six goal opening term, much to the surprise of a shell shocked Dragons who could only manage one. The second and third quarters were more evenly contested, before North Brunswick bookended the match with seven goals in the fourth quarter to cap off a silky performance. Ben Gallagher was unstoppable for the Bulls, collecting six majors for the day. Peter Distefano was busy as he chimed in with two of his own whilst Adam Makarucha and James Davis made things happen further back up the ground.

Billy Layug and Simon Monas were productive for Dragons, but no match for a Bulls outfit who were clearly more desperate for the win.

The game of the round ebbed and flowed until half time at Canterbury Sportsground with both sides enjoying a lead at the first two breaks. The second half was a different story as West Brunswick found a higher gear and put the hosts well and truly to the sword. Canterbury were trounced six goals to one in the third quarter, but it wasn’t enough to take the wind out of their sails. The Cobras rallied early in the fourth; Rohan Walmsley, Ben Peel and Cameron Woods were outstanding for the Cobras all afternoon, pioneering the fightback late in the game. However, Warwick Baker and Corey Bull lead the Pies backline to a composed display as they absorbed continuous pressure throughout the contest.

Manningham looked comfortable all afternoon against Chadstone until they took their foot off the pedal in the final term and were embarrassed by their lowly adversaries. Despite winning comfortably, the Cobras will be well aware that greater attention to detail will be required.

This will be particularly so in the more closely contested games later in the season to keep hold of the coveted fourth place on the ladder.

Michael Muller, Scott Newton and Adam Pianto lead the charge for the Cobras who led by almost 80 points at three quarter time. The usual suspects for the Synners restored some dignity to the performance, with Polkinghorne, Boothman and Luke Farrugia showing plenty of character – particularly in the dominant final term.

Point Cook was outclassed by the highflying Hawks, in their match at at Saltwater Reserve. The game was relatively well poised at half time until Hawthorn blitzed their opponents with some clinical play, demonstrating just why they are the competition’s best. Sean Stormonth usurped the old firm of Gold and Ince for the victors with a classy four-goal outing. Whilst Dean Monohan, and Shaun Howson were productive through the middle, Lachie Chapman celebrated his return from injury with a well-deserved goal. Robbie Milne, Haydn Wilkinson and Jed Eastwood were the best for the Dogs, who to their credit, kept fighting all day.

Westbourne Grammarians have flown under the radar in recent weeks, sneaking up the ladder like a member of the Pink Panthers international jewel thief network. Their incredible win over Box Hill North has put an end to all of that however. They now find themselves sitting in fifth having been eighth two weeks ago. A fortnight ago the Grammarians looked a far cry DIVISION 4 — TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 50/83%) Box Hill North v Dragons West Brunswick v North Brunswick Hawthorn v Manningham Cobras Point Cook v Canterbury Westbourne Gr. v Chadstone

from the competitive unit that took the field in the early rounds of the year. Box Hill North blitzed the Grammarians in the first term, leading by thirty-eight points at the break. Incredibly, they were unable to add to their first term tally whilst the Grammarians set about compiling an eight goal second term. The second half was a case of déjà vu as Box Hill North registered forty nine points to Westbourne’s one, then found themselves unable to score at all in the last whilst the hosts helped themselves to nine goals. A simply stunning match that had to be seen to be believed.

a fairly set top three. The hunt for fourth spot however, is sure to be hard fought. The frontrunners are Manningham who currently sit in fourth; however, Westbourne, Box Hill North and Point Cook can also sneak in with solid final thirds of the season. Eleven wins will sew up a finals birth for one of those teams, which would sees Dragons, a mathematical, if unlikely, prospect as well. Keep an eye on the Bulls to spoil the party for a few Division 4 September hopefuls in the wake of their win over Dragons and expect Manningham to step it up a gear as they will have to face all three top sides in their run home.

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2014 BRAYDEN O’TOOLE – ST BEDES/MENTONE TIGERS Congratulations to Brayden O’Toole for being this week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star nomination. Brayden’s consistent work rate and fierce attack on the footy has earned himself the nomination.

Brayden is currently in his second year at St Bedes/Mentone Tigers, after completing a solid pre-season and adding some kilograms to his tall frame. Playing in the ruck and jumping into often the tallest opponent week in week out, is by no means an easy task, but Brayden has learnt to use his agile body, against often bigger and older opponents, to offer supply for his midfielders. Brayden has the ability to send the ball deep into the forward line when he gets his hands on it, using his raking left boot, a trait well known by his team mates. When he is not on the field, Brayden studies at Australian Catholic University. * to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing his first full season of senior football.

RETROSPECTIVE

Geoff Reilley

@GeoffreyReilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2009 The top four in D2 Section were looking as though they would go through to the finals unchallenged but the jockeying for positions within the four was of paramount importance. Old Geelong received a shock to the system when they encountered Bentleigh who were hell bent on grabbing the points, it was tight all day and it took a behind after the final siren that saw Geelong finish square on the scoreboard and the two combatants shared the points after scoring 9.15 apiece. Best: Lee, Robertson, Sharp, Ireson, Vukic, Dolton (B) and Bayles, T Betts, Fitzclarence, T Legoe, Melpas (OG).

10 YEARS AGO – 2004 Undefeated University Blacks traveled to the home of the Aquinas Old Collegians with Aquinas not enjoying the best season in D1 Section. The Blacks were quickly into stride but failed with their inaccuracy to tie the game up in the first quarter.

They were no better in the second, with 5 behinds only, whereas the Bloods managed a couple of goals and were confident of placing some pressure on the Blacks in the second half. Goals continued to be hard to come by for the Blacks; Aquinas smelt blood and drew within 3 points at three quarter time. In the final term Blacks could not buy a goal but they kept the Bloods scoreless, winning by 1 goal and thankful to get away with the 4 points. Best: C Price, Ross, S Price, Kempton, Savage, Middleton (Uni Blacks) and Whitehead, Ant. Williams, Helme, Flynn, Hunt, Evans (Aquinas).

Andre Pitts ran out for his 300th game for Prahran having joined the Commonwealth Bank team in 1988, the bank eventually becoming part of a number of amalgamations resulting in the final formation of the Prahran Amateur Football Club. Andre was a past club captain, had won his club’s best and fairest and goal kicking awards in addition to representing the VAFA with distinction.

20 YEARS AGO – 1994 Junior Section 1 coaches were Noel Jenkinson (DLS), Tom De Young (Mazenod), Carmello De Angelo (O Haileybury), Les Bilham (O Melb), Damian Ellul (Old Paradians), Michael Plant (O Xavs), Dale Moore (Ormond), Jeff Osborne (St Bernards) and Steve Carroll (Uni Blues).

30 YEARS AGO – 1984 In Junior Section 1, Bulleen Templestowe and 42

Banyule met in an important game for both teams.

Bulleen Temp took control early and went on to record a strong win 18.19 to 11.11. Homberger kicked 5 for the winners and better players were: Crockford, Sexton, Williams, Wilson and Bone (BT) and Barnes, O’Brien, Dunn, Pyers, Harding and Mikac (Banyule).

40 YEARS AGO – 1974 Fawkner were clearly on top in E Section and it looked as though second placed Old Geelong may be their only serious rivals. Fawkner dispensed with third placed AMP Society 15.17 to 8.9 and Old Geelong defeated AJAX (5th) thereby strengthening the 2 way race. Fawkner’s best: Duggan, Foley, Laba and B Thomas (5) and for AMP it was: Plueckhahn, Henderson, O’Meara and Roulston.

50 YEARS AGO – 1964 In B Section, Uni Blues held on to 2nd place despite losing their second in a row. The Blues percentage had suffered noticeably and now stood at 94.1 whereas even 8th placed Old Melburnians had a percentage of 106.6!

60 YEARS AGO – 1954 The club scribes of the time certainly wore their hearts on the sleeves with their summaries in the footy record – ‘What a miserable performance for a team in the four! Our play was almost completely devoid of determination and cohesion. Except for a few players, it appeared the rest of us had our money on the bank!’ Clearly Commonwealth Bank had taken the points from Uni Blacks!

The South Melbourne City scribe was more positive – ‘Thanks chaps for a grand game. It was gratifying to see you return to your early season form’!

80 Years Ago – 1934 Ivanhoe were outright favourites in D Section and were undefeated, three games clear. Hec Rutherford and Mick Dowling kicked 9 and 8 goals respectively. Tom Miles, of the famous Ivanhoe family, was also one of the better players. Old Brighton firmed in third place and delighted their supporters with another strong performance.

“Skipper” Paroissien was again among the best!

Ladder leaders Fitzroy and University Blues didn’t miss a beat in their victories over Caulfield Gr and Old Brighton by 65 and 83 points respectively. A 10 goal third term from Fitzroy set up their big victory with a variety of multiple goal kickers, but it was Aidan Lambert with 4 goals who was best afield for the Roys. Old Brighton couldn’t match it with University Blues, with a 10 goal defeat despite the efforts of Adam Andrews, judged best afield in the loss. Parkdale Vultures were dominant over University Blacks, Luke Ellis finished

with four for the Vultures and Jackson Gravener was best for the Blacks. A five goal opening term set up Whitefriars 91 point win over Collegians. The Lions struggled to move the ball down forward and score effectively (finishing with 3 goals for the match) as the Friars pressure was outstanding from the first bounce. Mazenod were no match for third placed Old Trinity, the T’s claimed their second win in a row with a 51 point victory. James Nitsopoulos finished with 5 goals whilst Patrick Cincotta was best for the Nodders. After a week off, the next six rounds will be entertaining as the race for top four spot is still open.

CYMS kept on their winning ways with a win at home against top of the ladder Old Carey by 28 points. Ebinger continues to kick bags of goals and it was no different this time kicking 7 for the day. Nixon for Old Carey wasn’t far behind kicking 6 for the day but it wasn’t enough to get his team the 4 points. Morris for Williamstown was best on ground, the Panthers still missing key players.

Marcellin are also getting a roll on with another massive win, beating Old Xaverians by 97 points, Marcellin’s Burns kicked 5. With the last bye done and dusted the run for home is on in earnest as we wait for the warmer weather to arrive.

UMPIRES

Steve McCarthy & Kit Harvey

REPRESENTATIVE UMPIRES Congratulations to all who represented us last weekend as follows: AFL Victoria Country #2 v VAFA Premier B to Division 4 at St Albans, Geelong, we had Russell Davidson (F), Ben Rickard & Liam van Essen (B), and Clayton Evans (G) AFL Victoria Country U/19 v VAFA U/19 also at St.Albans, we had Andrew Bowden (F), Hugh Bennett & Jack Punshon (B), and Josh prince (G).

In the AFL Vic Community Cup, played at Werribee between AFL Victoria Country #1 v AFL Metro we had Mitchel Jones running the boundary.

ANOTHER MILESTONE A big congratulations this week as Shane McNamara umpires his 200th VAFA game, in his 10th year of umpiring. Before he donned the whites (then the greens) he played with Werribee Districts where he played in a premiership. Shane thought that when he retired he would like to give something back to the game that he loves so much. So he took up the whistle and has never looked back. In 2009 he won The Most Improved Field Umpire Award which was a big surprise, and he gives credit to the great coaching he’s received over the years. The other big highlight was when he umpired a Premier B Reserve Grand Final in 2010, he has also umpired as high as Premier B. Again, he says that good coaching got him there.

Shane says he’d like to say thank you to the VAFA Umpiring community over the last ten years for their help, support, advice & friendship. Enjoy the day at Williamstown Shane, and keep going!!

MERV HEADS NORTH Senior VAFA field umpire Mervyn “Swervin’” Monty spent last week working in Darwin and took the opportunity to train with the AFL Northern Territory umpires. But it wasn’t a regular training session for the AFLNT group.

Excitingly, AFL field umpires Jeff Dalgleish and Dean Margetts were up north to officiate the Melbourne vs Fremantle clash at TIO Stadium and both took leadership roles at AFLNT training.

@VAFAUA

Jeff was in charge of the running and core strength exercises and Dean ran through a series of rule clarifications and revised some “blue mooner” scenarios. Heat is a major factor at training and during games in the Territory. Merv confirms that every umpire felt the burn that night, but in the best way. Umpires who are interested in travelling to Darwin for the 2014/15 AFLNT season should contact AFLNT Umpire Manager Mark Noonan: mark.noonan@aflnt.com.au.

LAWS OF THE GAME QUIZ Last week’s Laws of the Game Quiz question: What is the definition of a ‘kick’?

The correct answer was OPTION B: the ball makes contact below a player’s knee.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: What happens if the runner of the team kicking in enters the arc when the player with the ball is about to kick it? a) It is a ball up at the end of the kick off line (top line of the goal square) b) It is a free kick to the team that just scored at the end of the kick off line c) The ball makes contact on or below a player’s knee

LOW SCORING AFFAIRS UHS- VU finally got back that winning feeling, claiming their second victory for the season against Old Paradians by a single point. It was a long time coming for the Uni boys who hadn’t got the four points since the opening round.

UHS VU were switched on from the first bounce, keeping their opponents to a single goal by half time. Old Paradians fought back in the last term to almost snatch the victory from UHS VU hands, but they managed to hold them off and claim victory. After a dominant first half of the season, ladder leaders Mazenod’s dominance has been pushed by a few of their opposition. Point Cook challenged the Nodders in a low scoring affair with multiple lead changes separating both sides at each break. Despite this, the Nodders were able to get the four points over the impressive Bulldogs outfit by 7 points. After a slow start and no score by quarter time, St Bernards fought back to be victorious by 18 points over the CY’s. It was a close knit match and it could have been anyone’s game. Max Jaggard and James Kilpatrick were best afield for the Snowdogs and CY’s respectively. University Blues were no match for Westbourne Gr, suffering a 125 point defeat at home. The Blues struggled to score as the Warriors dominance kept them to one goal for the match. Mitchell Gatti kicked 5 for the victors, whilst Joseph Kemp was best despite the defeat.

CLUB XVIII

Norm Nugent

SPARTANS MAINTAIN RAGE Round 12 results, which were clear cut (with one exception), have virtually decided each Final Four, although the double chance still has to be earned in Section 2.

REVIEW OF ROUND 12 SECTION 1 Hawthorn quickly regained composure after their fright in Round 11. This week they never allowed Old Geelong to gain ascendency as the “Spartans” kicked accurately and built a bigger lead as the match progressed until it was 144 points at game’s end. Surely a gross victory margin!! Old Xaverians had a game to remember against sixth placed Masala, who were shell shocked after the Xaverians kicked 10 goals in the first quarter. For the next three quarters the game continued in the same vein as the Xaverians led by James McDonnell with 10 goals, powered to victory by 174 points. I underestimated the ability of Prahran/ Assumption, whose meritorious 37 point victory over Mt Lilydale, provided a positive note in a Round which saw their Division 1 hopes fade.

I have obviously underestimated Prahran/ Assumption who on present indications could pose problems for opposing finalists.

SECTION 2 Richmond Central set the pace against Emmaus/ St Leo’s in a game where prevailing conditions affected play. The “Snakes” clung to a three point buffer at half time. However they failed to capitalize on the wind advantage in the third quarter and led by a mere 10 points at the last change. Although Richmond Central could not goal in the final quarter, their defenders held out resolutely and only allowed one goal to be scored, which gave the “Animals” a six point margin which they held until the finish of

58

the match. Therry Penola all but clinched fourth place as a result of their 37 point win over Eley Park for whom the loss virtually ended their finals’ aspirations. Therry Penola, who played the more constructive football led throughout the game, were well served by ruckman, Brock Wilson. The veteran club stalwart Corey Cresswell, recaptured the form of his salad days to be best for Eley Park. Williamstown C.Y.M.S. received a forfeit from Bulleen Templestowe.

SECTION 3 Only marked inaccuracy in poor conditions, prevented North Old Boys/ St Patricks from having more than a 58 point winning margin over Kew whose poor start placed them in arrears throughout. Melbourne High School Old Boys made sure of their final four position when they led University High School/ V.U. throughout to record victory by 36 points. Louis Meyer enjoyed his northern journey by kicking eight goals of the “Unicorn’s” fifteen goals. La Trobe University received a forfeit from the Dragons.

PREVIEW OF ROUND 13 SECTION 1 It will require a marked Masala improvement, for their players to defeat Prahran/ Assumption whose form prior to the break was very good. I can’t forecast a Masala victory. Common sense indicates that undefeated leaders, Hawthorn should win again against Mt Lilydale whose form of late has not been good. In an early game, Old Xaverians should win well against Old Geelong who are not enjoying success in 2014.

SECTION 2 In an early game, Richmond Central (second) host Therry Penola who lie fourth. Despite Therry Penola’s recent good form, I believe that Richmond Central will have their measure so that the home team should win narrowly. Eley Park should keep their flickering final hopes alive by beating yet to win Bulleen Templestowe.

In another final’s preview, Williamstown C.Y.M.S. (third) travel to meet Emmaus/ St Leo’s (first). Home ground advantage, especially if conditions are wet, as well as their depth of talent should insure that Emmaus/ St Leo’s emerge victorious.

SECTION 2 TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 23/64%) Richmond Central v Therry Penola Bulleen Templestowe v Eley Park Emmaus St Leos v Williamstown CYMS

SECTION 3 On Friday night, La Trobe University should continue their undefeated run by beating University High School/ V.U.T .who will be tested for endurance by the huge La Trobe ground.

North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s showed flashes of brilliance last Round despite their marked inaccuracy. Their depth of talent and proven goal kickers should enable them to defeat the enigmatic Dragons. In a First Semi Final preview, Kew (third) travel to Melbourne High School Old Boys (fourth). Kew never threatened to take control of their last game while the “Unicorns”, aided by Louis Meyer’s goal kicking had a clear cut victory. From what I have observed this season, I believe that Melbourne High School Old Boys will win this match TIPS IN BOLD (YEARS TOTAL 31/86%) La Trobe Uni v UHS-VU NOBs/St Pat’s v Dragons MHSOB v Kew
