ENDINGS AND NEW BEGINNINGS This weekend marks the final round for 138 of our 242 teams while many of the others are battling to the wire in this intriguing season. The highlights this weekend are our four Club XVIII grand finals. One is being played under lights on Friday night and the other three in an action- packed Sunday at Sportscover Arena. If you have never been to this day, I can highly recommend your attendance. There are not many places where you can see three senior grand finals on one day. The crowds are large, emotions run high and the stress is enormous. It can be that a single mistake means a premiership slips from grasp and it is interesting to see the composure of club XVIII players who usually play without spectator support (or non- support). We are anticipating big crowds on Sunday with six different clubs represented – Old Xaverians (2) v Collegians, Marcellin v Old Brighton and Old Ivanhoe facing Old Essendon. On Friday, Ormond take on Old Melburnians. The other Sections are playing their ultimate or penultimate rounds and as usual, there are many scenarios at both ends of the ladders. Next season, D3 will consist of 12 teams resulting in only one club being relegated and three promoted. The bottom of D3 has been incredible. One week, clubs have been staving off the dreaded drop only to find a victory places them with a shot for a finals berth. This battle has gone on for the entire second half of the season and we will have Elsternwick and St John’s battling for the fourth spot and one of Monash Gryphons or Power House relegated. D4 has been very competitive at the top end. The incentive of three being promoted and a final five has provided a real motivation in this section. La Trobe’s loss at Kew has seen Albert Park go a game clear who head out to Mt Lilydale. Mt Lilydale must win to hold off South Mornington for fifth place. There is a great reward for the minor premiers, as they get the weeks rest and the opportunity to watch their fellow- combatants slug it out. Incredibly all positions in C Section has been finalised with Caulfield, MHSOB, Beaumaris and Oakleigh marching onto the finals whilst Monash Blues and Bulleen Templestowe go down to D1. That section has the final four settled but it is in the bottom end that holds the interest. Ninth placed Aquinas is at home to Emmaus, which is certain to be relegated. They are in battle with South Melbourne, which hosts a Prahran that have lost by a combined total of 216 points in the last two weeks since confirming their place in the section. In D2, Ivanhoe and Yarra Valley have been relegated whilst Williamstown and Banyule battle it out for the chance to play Peninsula for promotion. The Under 18 competition has been a great innovation for the Association. We have been able to secure a representative match for our U18 players in New Zealand during October. NZ is hosting their regional championships over a long weekend and we were invited to play against their National Under 20 team. This is a self-funded tour and a marvellous opportunity for these young players. Oakleigh and newcomers Preston Bullants have been the stand out teams with St Bernard’s certain finalists in our inaugural U18 comp. UHS-VU combined with Flemington JFC to formulate a hybrid team that features many African lads. The true spirit of VAFA football has been extended to these new teams, who have enjoyed the positive experiences of under age football in the VAFA. It is anticipated that up to eight new teams may enter this competition in 2010. All five under 19 sections conclude on the weekend. Old Camberwell (North 1), along with Old Melburnians Reserves are the only undefeated team remaining out of the 242. The other minor premiers will be De La Salle (Premier), Old Melburnians (South 1), Old Geelong Blacks (North 2) and either Ajax or Hampton Rovers in South 2. Of course, the minor premiership counts for little. That’s why we play finals and we look forward to many absorbing contests over the next month.

the last quarter procession.Sam Chadwick was again intop touch for the blues, whowelcomed back Big V repMMaarrkk MMccLLeeoodd, but the oldstager MMaarrkk PPaatteerrssoonn gotthe votes. For the Bombers,NNiicckk BBaarrttrraamm got the nod, while DDaann CCooooppeerr, usuallytheir best defender, was their only multiple goalkicker.

Old Brighton went to the Trott seeking to continue therampage it had begun the previous week, but theyfound Collegians, who retain hopes of a Septembercommitment, just a little too good. Well, that’s anunderstatement – the Purples smashed them, with theTonners unable to stop FFeerrgguuss WWaattttss or even matchhis scoring. BBrreetttt SSiinnccllaaiirr was the solitarysharpshooter for the visitors, with one in the first andthree in the third, but the goal umpires at the Brightonend in the second and the fourth didn’t have to move amuscle except when waving the calicos to signalanother Lion’s score. MMiikkee DDyyeerr and AAnnddrreeww BBaaxxtteerrwere rampant and SShhuurraa TTaafftt was in the goals again forthe victors, while JJoosshh DDiicckkeerrssoonn and DDaavviidd SSpprriiggggsswere the best performed for the again disappointingsurf-side outfit.

LLeeiigghh HHaarrrriissoonn made his long-awaited return for De Laagainst Marcellin, and the Blue and Golds went inwithout BBeennss CCoorriinn and MMaannnniixx. The four goal leadthey established early held all afternoon despite theEagles’ strong efforts to haul it back. MMiicchhaaeell DDuuggggaannalso returned for De La after being a late withdrawalthe previous week and he and fellow lefty MMaattttFFiieellddsseenndd were livewires, as was best afield JJaakkeeGGoottcchh. DDaann CCuulllliinnaann kicked three for the Eagles, whileMMaarrkk BBoorrttoolloottttoo was again very impressive.

OUTLOOKOnly a miracle will prevent Xavs playing in the second-semi and their opponent should be decided next weekwhen SBMT meets DLS.

Uni Blues continue to hold Collegians at bay onpercentage and are still favourites for fourth spot.

Old Ivanhoe must win both remaining games andMarcellin lose both to stay up.

THIS WEEKCCoolllleeggiiaannss @@ MMaarrcceell lliinn:: It’s tough to go past therecent form of the Lions, who have hit top speed, butit could be a case of “Here comes Tails at a hundredmiles an hour: won’t run a place”. Fans of both clubswill likely keep a close watch on the happenings at theVarsity.

OOlldd EEsssseennddoonn @@ OOlldd XXaavveerriiaannss:: If the Xavs are sore atlosing last week, they won’t hesitate to let OldEssendon know about it. The skinny on theNortherners is that they struggle to play four quartersand if that holds true, it might get ugly.

OOlldd SSccoottcchh @@ SSBBMMTT:: All Tigers will remember howScotch beat them at home on Anzac Friday last yearand this should provide sufficient motive to go for abig kill. The Cardinals are giving their young ones agood taste of senior footy, but cannot win without theirfull list.

DDee LLaa SSaall llee @@ OOlldd BBrriigghhttoonn:: Are things looking a bitshaky for the Blue and Golds or has their recent formbeen part of the regular season ebb and flow? Will itmatter at the Beach? Will Brighton regroup and atonefor the drubbing at Waverly Park earlier in the year orwill De La again find the momentum to kick a bigscore. It may be the game of the round, but then again,it may not be. De La to win, with only the margin anissue.

OOlldd IIvvaannhhooee @@ UUnnii BBlluueess:: The white-picketed Uni Ovalmay be the ground that best suits the Browns outsideof their own Chelsworth Park. Are Old Ivanhoe strongenough to pull off a massive win here? Not this week,methinks. Blues are too good and will slowly stranglethe Browns’ eleventh-hour hopes.

3THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VV2 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VV

All things must pass, as George Harrison oncereminded us, and last week in R16, two significantstreaks came to an end. At the top of the table, StBede’s Mentone Tigers smothered and choked the lifefrom Old Xaverians in the wind at Brindisi Street, whileat Chelsworth Park, the strains of the nearly-forgottenclub song shook the walls after their long-awaitedsecond victory of the year.

The flag was never vertical at Mentone as thepremiership aspirants battled it out. The home teamhad first use, but the Xaverians played some of theirfinest football for the year into the breeze to keep itclose at quarter time. Their second term was as pooras their first was good, as the Tigers clogged it up andapplied the physical pressure. For some strangereason, the Red and Blacks attacked relentlessly to thesocial club side, from which scoring was nigh onimpossible, and squandered their grand start. The thirdquarter saw the Tigers kick away before Xavs hit backlate to wrest the momentum, though a PPeetteerrMMccGGeettttiiggaann goal after the bell set the line to 20 with aquarter to play. Xavs got to within two goals midwaythrough the final term, but missed four clear shots toend their chances of stealing the win. Bede’s kickedthree in time-on to add the cheery to the whippedcream. The home team was best served by skipperJJaammeess “Taxis” TTyyqquuiinn, BBrreetttt CCoollll iinnss and aassssoorrtteeddWWiinnttlleess, while JJoosshh AAggiiuuss and JJoonn MMeerrccuurrii were thevisitors’ most effective. It was a confidence builder forthe Combine, though whether yesterday’s ascendancytranslates to Sportscover Arena won’t be known for afew weeks yet.

The Browns finally got there, winning by nine pointsover Old Scotch to end their horrific skein. RRiicckkyyJJeessssoopp was again in fine form in a low scoringencounter. The Cardinals went in without many of theirestablished stars and couldn’t kick a winning score,despite winning three of the four terms. Old Ivanhoe’ssecond term in which they kicked 6.5 did the trick.CChhaarrlliiee TTaalllleenntt was again best in Red and must be arunaway leader in their B+F. After being written off ascertainties for the drop, the Hoes can now still possiblysurvive, though the odds are stacked against them.

Old Essendon got away to a flying start against UniBlues out at East Keilor, kicking five goals in the firststanza. Unhappily for them, they added just one morebefore the final siren, while Blues pegged their wayback and applied the full body slam with 10.8 to 0.0 in

Out at Boss James, theHampton Rovers defeated OldCamberwell by 21 points tojump three positions on theladder to seventh and take a bigstep forward in the fight tosurvive relegation.Again, windy conditions, favouring the David Street end of theground, to which the Hampton Rovers kicked towards in theopening term. It started a scrappy affair and the home sidecould only manage two goals. However, the Wellers failed toscore at all.Hampton Rovers were far from dominant with the wind in thefirst quarter and it was always going to be interesting to seewhat transpired in the second term. Importantly Roversmanaged two goals against it while Camberwell managed thesame with it, from their eight scoring shots. At half time, itwas Hampton Rovers leading by 12 points.The game opened up somewhat in the third term with theRovers kicking five goals while the visitors could only managea single point. At the final change, it was the Rovers holdinga comfortable 43 point lead. The game was far from overthough – last time the two teams met, Old Camberwell booted10 goals with the wind in the last to come within 5 points ofthe Rovers, the conditions were very similar at the Boss onSaturday.The Wellers kicked the opening goal of the final quarter andslowly began pegging back at the Rovers score. Throughoutthe final term, the visitors wasted plenty of opportunities, withfour behinds, and more shots at goal going out on the full.With minutes remaining, Old Camberwell had reduced themargin to a few kicks and the atmosphere was tense.However that tension somewhat eased shortly after with alucky bounce handing Rovers a goal to stretch the lead to 27points. An OC goal on the final siren reduced the winningmargin for the Rovers to 21 points.RRyyaann SSeemmmmeell and RRoobb AAlleexxaannddeerr each kicked three goals forthe Rovers while TToomm CCuurrrryy kicked two. Captain MMaattttLLaawwrreennccee and Vice Captain GGaarryy CCaarrrr were amongst theRovers best.With other results falling their way, Rovers have bouncedback to seventh, a healthy bit of percentage above the drop.One can only think that the final round game against the oldrivals Ormond will be what it all comes down to. The final game of the round was played at the wind-sweptCarey Sports Complex. Riding on a high for the previousweek’s death defying win OC took the game to SKOB in theearly minutes of the game. Unfortunately the home side couldnot put it on the scoreboard and St Kev’s simply took controlof the game from that point. Out by 6 at quarter time the gamenever really threaten to become a contest there after.

Carey’s best spell came in the 3rd quarter win drawing towithin 5 goals before a piece of typical Ben Dowd pace andskill broke the home side’s momentum. Pleasing for the victors would have been the tenaciousdisplay from the SSuull lliivvaannss. The first senior game of the yearfor EErriicc CChheesssseemmaann MMaazzzzaarreellllaa would have also been givencoach PPoowweell ll something to smile about. The big cheeseplugged gaps all over the ground but was able to gainenough leverage so the hips did not lie.For the vanquished, AAllaann SStteewwaarrtt--HHoollmmeess continued hisimpressive season while HHoowwaatt and KKeenntt gave everything totry and pull Carey into the game.

PPRREEVVIIEEWWSSMy tips proved to be wide of the mark last week but havebeen on the phone all week to my spies and a have a fewupsets that may right the ship.At GB I’ll go for an upset and tip the Wellers. Camberwellseemed to be the sort of animal that won’t bite unless backedinto a corner….well they are now in that metaphorical cornerand with plenty of talent to make it happen they will come outsnarling. Rumours have floated through of OC making thistheir game of their year and will come out with a do or dieattitude. Contrast that with a SKOB team that is now safely inthe finals and you see my logic.The Snowdogs will have coped a grilling this week and willrespond by ending the Bloods season. I have struggled to geta gauge on either team this season but I expect the old timersBBeenn JJoorrddaann and DDuuttcchhyy HHooll llaanndd to lead a strong WestEssendon resurgence. In the MOTD toss a coin. The Blacks are almost at fullstrength while Trinity love playing at the Marles. I’ll go for thehome side for no convincing reason. This will be a beauty, ifyou wander down look for the MM.. KKeemmppttoonn vs. IIeezzzzii & BBoollttoonnvs. RRaammssddeenn clashes.Ormond take on Carey in potential decider. Impossible to tipOrmond in the form they are in but every loss takes themcloser to the next win. I don’t fancy it will be this week. Careyto keep their B section hopes alive.The Redlegs will simply have too much for Hampton Rovers.The Rover’s will be keen to keep the game nice and close asthey would realise that percentage is all important while anOM win makes certain a top two finish.

There is a saying in the old country that goes “If you’re notconfused, you don’t know what is going on”. Well, B grade isa little like that at the moment, but it sure ain’t boring. Westarted Round 16 with four in the relegation scrap and 6premiership contenders...and that’s pretty much the way itfinished too, although the Bloods are hanging onto theirfinals chances by the skin of their teeth.I’ll start my report out at McKinnon Reserve. In a game thateach side would have been desperate to win, it was a wire-to-wire win for the Redlegs, leaving the premiership favouritesone win from cementing their double chance. 2009 hasbumper year from the boys from Domain Rd, with theirReserves already certain of top spot and in line for anunbeaten season, while just to sweeten the deal their U19sare also top of the tree. For the Bloods, the picture is not aspretty, however they could still be an A grade side in 2010 ifresults fall their way. It’s hard to know what to make of the result out at the Uni.Some massive ins for the Blacks included the brothersKKeemmppttoonn, 1997 Number 4 national draft pick MMaarrkk BBoollttoonnand the impressive Savige. Through their all star midfield,Uni controlled the game from start to finish. Starting well andjust going on with it, the Blackers simply had a day out. Uni’scoach will be well pleased with the pressure exerted on theyoung Snow Dogs outfit. Best in an outstanding team effort was SSccootttt HHiisssseeyy.Strongly rumoured to be first picked in an effort from the UniBlacks hierarchy to increase female traffic through the ivoryclad gates on game day, the onballer has proven to be avaluable addition in 2009.The losers will find solace in the fact the double chance is stilltheirs for the taking. Although I’m sure the debut coach willbe challenging his troops to take a leaf out of AAlleexx JJoolllleeyy’’ssbook and maximise their time in the gym. The result sets up Blacks for the game of their lives againsttheir old foe Trinity. These two sides have been lockedtogether for the best part of two years now and will fightanother epic battle potentially deciding the last finals spot upfor grabs.Speaking of Old Trinity, they were in vintage form out atBulleen. RRaammbboo and CCuullttrreerraa both kicked bags and evenwithout IIeezzzzii they were dominant in the middle due to theendeavours of young JJeessssoopp and ““JJaacckk”” OOssbboorrnn. Trinity kicked with a strong breeze and by quarter time were53 points up on Ormond and the game was over. The leadwas stretched to over 100 points by three quarter time, andthe end margin was 95.MMaatttt MMaarrttiinnoovv was the only clear winner for the Ormond sidethat has now lost 7 on the bounce; at one stage during thethird term, he had kicked the entire Ormond score, finallyfinished with five goals in a dominant display.

This week’s Rising Star is Michael Dyer of Collegians, who was best afield in their win over OldBrighton last Saturday.

Dyer is a will-o’-the-wisp nineteen year old who is playing his first full season with the Lions afterdipping his toes in the water while still at Wesley College.

Plagued by broken arms and hands while at school, Mike went through his first real pre-seasonthis year and was aided in his development by Fergus Watts. Despite his small stature, he is anexcellent tackler and can play roles in attack or defence.

Given that his father is the club President, his uncle David Hoyle played in three A Section flagswith the Lions, and that Mike himself has helped out at the club since his early teens, there waslittle doubt that he would head to the Trott for his post-school football.

Well done young Mr Dyer.

cruelled by injuries at keymoments throughout theyear.

Sorry Grandma Match ofthe Round watchers were inshock at the Racecourse,Beaumaris silencing the home side to lead 40 points tozip at quarter time with CCaatthhccaarrtt and DDuuggggaanndominating play. Showing why they are the premierteam in the competition, Caulfield rallied to close themargin to under two kicks at the main break with theSundberg brothers starting to rack up the possessions.Kicking five goals to one into the wind, the Fieldssnuffed any hope of a Shark upset as they controlledthe match to run out 25 point winners. AAnnddrreewwSSlleevviissoonn was kept to just the two goals, rising hisseason return to 88, a dozen shy from the ton.

Over at Monash University, Bulleen-Templestowechanneled some Dale Kerrigan logic that football is10% brains and 95% muscle, the rest is just good luck.With both teams heading to D1 in 2010, the honour ofavoiding the wooden spoon was on the line, threequarter time seeing the home side ahead by eightpoints. Unveiling the CChheerrbbaakkooff & BBuurrrriiddggee show, theBullant forwards put on a show for their travellingcheersquad as they kicked seven unanswered goals tomake it back to back wins, clearing away to score by sixgoals. NNiicchhoollaass HHiicckkss was best for the Sky Blues in alone hand up forward, his bag of six kicked earlyshowcasing his immense talent.

Finally, Parkdale compounded further misery on alifeless Ajax with a low scoring victory at GarrySmorgon Oval. Boasting the double threat of RRoocchhffoorrddand BBoollaanndd up forward, the Vultures had the class edgeon the home side and kicked straighter to notch winnumber five for 2009. DDaanniieell FFrreeeedd tried in vain for theJackers, winning the player of the day award from theAjax coaching staff.

OOaakklleeiigghh (($$22..0055)) vv MMHHSSOOBB (($$11..8800))Redemption time for Oakleigh after their winning streakwas quelled by the Unicorns earlier in the year in aSouth Yarra shootout. Expect fireworks in the middle,the big bodies of Jon Rutter and Matt White bound toinflict some nightmares. At home and with Bromely insupreme form, Oakleigh can sneak in by a goal.

MMaazzeennoodd (($$11..3333)) vv AAjjaaxx (($$33..0000))Only a month ago, this match looked set to be one ofthe year’s highlights with the winner taking the last spotin the Top 4. Fast forward the clock, the game now onlyboasts interest to players pushing for best and fairestvotes. The Nodders should brush aside the depletedJackas who are done and dusted for 2009. Mazenod byplenty.

BBuulllleeeenn--TTeemmpplleessttoowwee (($$77..0000)) vv CCaauullffiieelldd GGrraammmmaarriiaannss (($$11..0088))The entire Slevison family tree will venture to Ted Ajanito see if Andrew can reach his ton against the relegatedBullants. A dozen away from 100, Slevison will look toreplicate the deeds of Jason Dunstall in 1996. Underthe lights of the MCG, he kicked ten to bring up hiscentury against the Demons in a last round matchshrouded in merger talk. Caulfield by ten goals.

BBeeaauummaarriiss (($$11..0066)) vv MMoonnaasshh BBlluueess (($$99..0000))In a last goodbye to C Section, the Sky Blues ventureacross to the sand belt with the Beaumaris homeground looking much like a public golf course fairwayin summer, brown and dry. It’s an opportune time forShark full-forward Scott Gower to find some touchbefore finals next week. Beaumaris by plenty.

PPaarrkkddaallee VVuullttuurreess (($$11..3333)) vv OOlldd GGeeeelloonngg (($$33..0000))The Ozmosis Vultures versus the Ralph Lauren ComoBoys, both of these teams have been lucky to stay in CSection this year after registering only five wins each.Old Geelong has been pummeled the last fortnight,harking back to days at Western Oval watching Fitzroyon the terrace. Parkdale by five goals.

AARROOUUNNDD TTHHEE GGRROOUUNNDDSSAll the interest lay within the boundaries of postcode3141. Only 600 metres apart, the finals wouldeffectively be locked in if Oakleigh could defeat OldGeelong at Como Park and Mazenod failed to triumphat Melbourne High School. Unfortunately for thebagmen and the Nodders, both scenarios eventuated,Oakleigh sealing the last available spot in the Top 4 witha royal shellacking of the Como Boys.

Limping off a 100 plus point demolition by Caulfield,Old Geelong showed some early resilience to test theKrushers, only five points adrift at quarter time. Thereafter however, things went awry with Oakleigh goinginto overdrive, booting twenty goals to three as theyserved the league an ominous warning. TTrreevvoorrBBrroommeellyy was simply brilliant, his nine goalscomplimented by full-back LLeeee BBaarrrraanndd, who travelledinto the forward arc in the last quarter to kick three ofhis own goals as the boys from Scammell walked in by111 points.

Down the road, Mazenod finals flame was all butdistinguished as the Unicorns peppered the goals earlyon, having an incredible 22 scoring shots in the firstquarter but only registering 6.16 with little LLuukkeeCCaammppbbeellll slotting through three majors. With thebreeze, Mazenod responded but never looked withinsite of a win as goals in the third term to RRhhyyss LLiimmbbrriicckkand JJiimmmmyy TTrraann steadied the Unicorn ship. Into the lastquarter, AAnnddrreeww VViillllaannii was thrust forward and belyinghis defensive mindset, he kicked just the second goal (acrisp snap) of his career to send the Nodders packingfrom season 2009.

JJiimm PPooddeessttaa of Watts Fencing inOakleigh, and Krusherscommitteeman has come to the aidof the fence around SportscoverArena this week. He’s patched a fewholes here and there, whichappeared when football fans (from

non-VAFA clubs of course) attempted to get aroundpaying finals’ entry fees. Memo to them: You will becaught, you will be punished. Plans are afoot toinstall stocks in front of the Alex Johnson Pavilion onGrand final Day to showcase any vandalouscheapskates. Caterer Neil Weatherson expects to doa roaring trade in shaving cream pies!

Emmaus St Leos' TTiimm ““WWiiffff””MMccCCaannnn plays his 200th game thisweek. Tim first played in 1997 whenhe joined the McCann dynasty at theclub with his four brothers and isnow the club's inspirational seniorcaptain. An important member oftheir 2002 premiership team and

senior B+F in 2003 and runner up in 2005, Tim hasfought back from a career ending injury last year andcontinues to be an important and versatile memberof the Animals. Some would say he does his bestwork organising and financing the end of seasontrips, but Tim would say fathering his first son Josh,born last week was his best.

Only five of our seventy-three clubshave sent in the requisite $100 forCystic Fibrosis that will see thementered in the draw for $1000 worthof training jumpers. Club Treasurers,time to pull out the cheque books

and give to the VAFA’s official charity. ContactJeremy Bourke for further details on 9537 6777.

Prahran’s WWii ll ll WWaallffoorrdd reached 100senior VAFA games with the TwoBlues recently. He joined their U19sin 1987 when they played in the VFA,and was wearing the Two Blues’jumper before several of his currentteammates were born. By year's end,

he was a Senior Premiership player as the clubdefeated Waverley to take the Second Division flag.Will amassed 91 senior games in the VFA, beforejoining Southbank via a season with MHSOB. When

the goals (he managed three last Saturday).Although Therry has slipped through the grades inrecent years, Mick was always a standout performerand was a C-D State representative in 2000.

The excitement is building with theAnnual Umpires’ dinner to be held nextMonday night at the MCG. The men inwhite have done a great job thus far,

though injuries and unavailability have causednightmares for Benny Goodman, who organises theweekly rosters. Up for grabs is the much covetedUmpire of the Year Award and the AFL VictoriaGolden Whistle, which is not an Acme Thunderer andnot gold, but a magnificently inscribed trophy.

CChhrriissttoopphheerr SSuullll iivvaann is one of sixbrothers to represent ParkdaleVultures and this week becomes thethird to hit 200 games. Debuting in1996, Chris won the senior Best &Fairest in 1999 and 2000, and was apremiership player in 2001.

More broadcast news: As well asfollowing VAFA action via 3G mobilephones on Twitter, iPhone users canalso pick up the InnerFM broadcast ofthe Match of the Day via the Shoutcastapplication. It might chew up some ofyour data allowance, but the dulcet

tones of Ken Petrucco come through loud and clear,as good as the quality through innerfm.org.au

DDeeaann TTuull lloocchhruns out for his300th for BulleenTemplestowe thisweek. Dean is theoriginal "PocketRocket" and hasroved, rockedand rolled hisway into allBullants’ hearts. He has been adual best andfairest winner,

played in their most recent Premiership in 2008 andendeared himself to millions the world over. Hefeatured in the BT Team of the Century.

Bentleigh’s PPaauullHHuuttcchhiissoonn is only the fifthplayer in that club’shistory to reach 300games. Hutchie had a briefretirement in 2006-07where he coached theU19s but his love ofplaying the game saw himreturn to win the ReservesBest & Fairest in 2008.

This after around 230 games in the seniors.The Hutchison family are tireless contributors to theclub’s success and with seniors and reserves ridinghigh, a successful September might well see moreawards in the Hutchison trophy cabinet.

VAFA board member and broadcastveteran TToomm BBrraaiinn dashed throughCustoms last Sunday morning to get tothe radio studios in Mentone in timefor his Sunday morning stint on88.3FM. Tommy had missed twoweekends while relaxing in Fiji, but

followed all the VAFA action on Twitter and throughthe live scores on vafa.com.au and as such, was fullbottle on all recent events. “I tipped this” he toldfellow host SStteevvee MMccCCaarrtthhyy with some enthusiasmabout SBMT’s win over Xavs, though his on-airpartner seemed more interested in Tom’s selectionsfrom the resort wine list.

It was a great day out for Old Trinitylast Saturday, with both reserves andseniors notching impressive wins.Not only that, but the club alsocelebrated MMiicckk EEll ll iiootttt''ss 300th gameof VAFA football. Mick only joinedOld Trinity in 2007 because his

fiancée was related to the OT hierarchy and since hasnotched up 31 senior and reserve games for theclub. Mick however will best be remembered for hisstellar 269 game career at Therry Penola, whichcommenced in 1992 and included several years in ASection.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME...Southbank and Prahran merged to form PrahranAFC, Will came home! A great clubman over manyyears, Will continues his role on the committee aswell as a mentor and role model to younger playersat the club. Well done Equity.

Power House’s MMaarrkk DDrriieesssseenn finallyhits his 100 this week. Hailing fromTasmania, “Storma” has made ahome for himself in the seniors as ahigh leaping, strong runningwingman over many injuryinterrupted years at the club. Power

House is hoping that Driessen’s next 100 comearound a little more quickly.

The countdown clock atSportscover Arena, for nowat least, will be seen nomore. Timekeepers in Club

XVIII have been instructed that quarters will nolonger be a straight 25 minutes, but 17 plus time on.A few too many were getting wise to time wastingtactics, it seems.

RRyyaann ““ NNuuggggeett”” DDaall eeyy plays his100th game for the ManninghamCobras this week. Nugget hasplayed many positions and has takenmore punishment to the head than asecond-rate career boxer. His abilityto take the freakish grabs has seen

him kick many bags and steer his club to victory onmany occasions.

FTLOTG congratulates BBrraadd SSccootttt onhis new appointment as coach ofNorth Melbourne. Scott, who hasbeen seen at enough VAFA gamesthat we can tell him apart from twinbrother Chris, is a good St Kevin’sboy and the SKOBs are no doubthoping that their man might send a

few players their way. They might have somecompetition there, as a former roommate of his hasties to another VAFA club.

NOBSP will finishon a high, giving the Panthers something to think aboutover Summer, and the top four will stay as is: Rupo ina close one over Fitzroy at BSO, Friars at home in asimilarly close one over the Tigers, but not enough todislodge them from second.

(2) and CCaarrddaammoonnee (4).The two Bloods have nowtransposed positions on theladder, Aquinas in 9th andlooking anaemic.

Prahran looked in need of a transfusion – maybe eventotal amputation – after its abysmal effort againstFitzroy at Trak Park. At quarter time the Two Blues werea single behind and trailed by 55 points, Fitzroy captainJJiimmmmyy OO’’RReeiillllyy scoring a monster from the edge of thegoal square on the siren. At the huddle Roys coachSSiimmoonn TTaayylloorr implored his boys to ‘crunch up’ in thesecond, and the home team barely saw the ball in theirforward fifty, bar a single major. Halftime margin 64points, it was more entertaining watching Jimmy Hird’stackers run around while the dads hoovered dimmies.Fitzroy continued to outplay Prahran in the second half,the final margin 86 points and SSiimmoonn KKeelllleehheerr takingbest on ground honours, closely followed by MMccKKaayyand TToopppp. For the home side SStteewwaarrtt,, SSlleeiigghhtt andFFaallccoonnee were the few with their minds on the job, andas a consequence the Blues are no cert to stay in D1 –today’s results and margins are crucial betweenseventh and tenth.

In a sometimes fiery clash, Old Mentonians travelled toSoldiers Reserve and despite first use of the significantbreeze, allowed the Tigers the first two goals and a 3point lead at quarter time. Frustrations boiled over. Thewind rattled through every living thing over the PleurisyPlains, and turnovers proved costly as Werribee kickedto a 28 point lead at the main. OMs used the eddy in thethird and closed the gap to just two points but soon ranout of legs in the last as the super-fit Tiger machinefinished strongly, 45 point victors. Best for Werribeewere PPaallmmiinnggttoonn and FFaassttuuccaa (4); CCuunnnniinngghhaammadding four also, while Panthers NNoorrttoonn, PPrroowwssee (3)and GGrraahhaamm (3) played well.

Game of the round was Rupertswood v Whitefriars, atight, tough contest at Sunbury between two verycommitted outfits and a classic one-point thrillerdecided on the last kick of the day. Every possessionwas hard-earned, Rupo had the best of it early andwhen the ball got into space used their skilled ballhandlers PPrreettttyy (2), PPlluummmmeerr & PPhhiilllliippss (3). BBiisshhooppwas easily the best for Rupo with his inside work thatreally set up the game for them. Neck and neck with 10seconds to go, a well directed Rupo worm-burner

Here we are at the business end and the usualphenomenon is taking place. I know that’s a bit of anoxymoron, ‘usual phenomenon’ but the same strange,mystifying thing happens every season. Likeclockwork. The Mighty reveal an Achilles heel, and theMeek find a bit of ginger. Something has stirred deepwithin South Melbourne Districts - who lookeddestined for relegation – and while they may still leaveus, they’re having a red hot crack.Here they are, the D1 Transformers. More than meetsthe eye. It’s as if a sleeping Decepticon has risen fromits slumber to deliver a challenge to the usual band ofAutobots. A do or die struggle to stay here on D1 earth.Is Werribee the cute and inoffensive Bumblebee? Idon’t think so, more like the slashing Ultra Magnus,just ask the Panthers last Saturday, who could beconsidered the Cliffjumpers given some wastedopportunities this season. The muscular Friar outfit arethe Omega Supreme of the pack; the slick Roys theJazz Autobot and NOBSP the hard rock Blasters.Prahran’s Perceptor over-thinks its game; Aquinas isthe space-cadet Cosmos while the peace-loving (andoh-so-appropriately-named) Eject would have to beEmmaus at the drop. The leader of the pack is of courseminor premiership winner and thunderous Sunburysemi-trailer, Optimus Prime. But will Rupo hold thesupremacy over these crazy robotniks who from weekto week morph between a DeLorean and a Datsun120Y?

RROOUUNNDD SSEEVVEENNTTEEEENN RREEVVIIEEWWHighlight for the Animals at Bennetswood was theladies lunch, SMD spoiling the party as they powered toa 14 goal lead at half time. The game was over and sowas the Animals’ chance of remaining in D1, but theyfought the game out, matching SMD in the second halfwith RRoossee HHiicckkeeyy,, DDiicckk HHooddddeerr (3) and FFooxxyy BBeelluusszzaarr(2) giving their best. South pulled off a 97 point victory,spotted driving home with that crazy wind in their hairwere BBaattcchheelloorr (2), KKoohhnneesshheeeenn and CChheeeevveerrss (6),who seem to have engaged their late-season fluxcapacitor.

MMiicchhaaeell BBaarrkkeerr and JJoosshh MMiinneennkkoo bagged 6 each forNOBSP at home to Aquinas, shoring up their 40 pointwin and fifth pozzie nicely. As the world swirled aroundGillon oval, OO’’CCoonnnnoorr and KKeeoowwnn were outstanding forthe Cobbers who shrugged off a first quarter malaiseand nailed 8 second term goals to the Bloods’ solitarysalute. Valiant efforts from NNiieezzeenn (2), MMiicchhaaeell JJeessss

It appears that when grabbed hisumpiring gear out of the washingbasket on Saturday morning he’d found that hisflatmate (of course blame someone else) had obviouslythrown a few red things into the wash with theumpiring gear. Result – you guessed it, nice pink tingeon the shirts. Personally we would have liked to haveseen him umpire like that, but luckily for him he wasassisted with a spare white shirt from one of hiscolleagues running on the ground next door. If it hadn’tbeen one of the writers of this column this little incidentprobably would have slipped straight through to thekeeper. Be careful with your cricket whites over thesummer EEvvoo! And a big congratulations to EEvvoo whoruns around in his 110000tthh VVAAFFAA ggaammee as an umpiretoday. A former PPoowweerrhhoouussee legend (allegedly) he isyet another success story of a player taking up thewhistle.

BBeennnnyy’’ss RRuullee ooff tthhee WWeeeekkOOFFFFIICCIIAALL WWIITTHHIINN TTHHEE FFOORRTTYY –– FFIIVVEE AARRCC A free kick is to be awarded against a club if its runneror any other on field official is positioned within the 45metre area when the full back is kicking in after aBehind has been scored. In this event the Free Kick isto be taken by a player of the opposition team directlyin front of goals on the 45 metre arc in that half of theground and the kick to be taken by the nearest player tothis point.An umpire may show discretion only in the event of aclub trainer being in the area to attend a player who isgenuinely distressed or injured.An official who runs from the actual playing area beforethe full back kicks the ball in is to be deemed “ssaaffee”.

GGeett wweellll ssoooonnAll at the VAFAUA send their regards and best wishes toPPeetteerr LLoovvee of OOlldd IIvvaannhhooee who is dealing with somehealth issues at the moment.

NNiigghhtt ooff NNiigghhttssIt’s here this Monday night, finally we can let our hairdown and enjoy the successful year. For clubs who areinterested, this is like your Best and Fairest night wherewe announce of all our award winners, pay tribute toLife Members and focus for the finals. Do we drink?Responsibly - Yes! But the late night will turn into earlymorning and this is where the experienced umpires riseto the occasion. Finally, to our running coach RRoobbSSnneeddddoonn - just take a good look to who turns up totraining the next day, these are your die-hards who arejust running the fumes off.

UMPIRES CORNERby Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallagher

RRoouunndd 1188For some clubs in CC sseeccttiioonn down this will be do or diefor either finals spots or to avoid relegation. In somecases you players and coaches might not recognise theumpires, don’t be afraid it’s just some of the highergrade umpires. Introduce yourself, tell them they aredoing a job (they like that) and get to know their style ifyou are playing in finals. Good luck today. For thoseteams that are not in either position enjoy MadMonday!!!A fond farewell to some of those legends who are quitelikely to hang up the boots tonight. To a couple of themwho we won’t name (one from Bulleen/Templestoweand one from Parkdale Vultures), you have beenfantastic servants of the VAFA over many years. Putyour feet up boys, and think of the money your clubswill save on ice.

MMuuttee –– aatt llaasstt!!A couple of weeks back, veteran field umpire WWaayynnee((CChhuucckk)) HHiinnttoonn found himself in a spot of bother at thestart of the game. Standing in the centre of SSppoorrttssccoovveerrAArreennaa he raised the ball to the timekeepers and thenblew his whistle, or did he? Not a single sound, not apeep, nothing, nada. After about four more attemptswith still no joy, the contesting ruckmen, all otherplayers, the crowd and of course his partner weregetting a little impatient as the timeclock was headingtoward the one minute mark. He finally decided to pullout the spare whistle (that’s why we carry one) and getthe game underway. At quarter time a supporter walkedpast CChhuucckk and said, “What happened, after thatmassive warm-up did you run out of breath or is it justthat age is catching up with you?”

HHuurrrryy uuppSome umpires can be ready to go 15 min or 10 minbefore starting, but then there is GGiibbbboo who will justtake his time. Well GGiibbbboo, AAnnddrreeww WWaalltteerrss can giveyou a run for your money. AAnnddrreeww when your team isready with 10 min to go that means you should be alsonot getting a rub from a trainer then spending another5 min putting on the skins then shorts, plan betteryoung man. We have a new champion GGiibbbboo!

IInn tthhee PPiinnkk ffoorr aa CCeennttuurriioonnA few weeks ago we saw three young female umpiresdecked out in pink shirts for the Community Cup.Certainly no colour clash with the players there.Seemed a little ironic that the organiser of theCommunity Cup, our own JJaassoonn ((EEvvoo)) EEvvaannss wasstruck down with a serious washing mishap last week.

After seventeen grueling weeks of football only oneround remains before the finals series decides theseason’s ultimate winner. The top four have bookedtheir spot for September action, whilst the bottomtwo have anchored themselves to the relegationpositions. Despite this round eighteen’s games stillhold much interest for punters, who will be looking tofind the form teams going into finals, and those thatcan’t match it with quality opposition.

This week Banyule play Therry Penola, and aftersuffering a demoralizing defeat at the hands ofPeninsula last weekend, Banyule will be looking toregain some confidence against another top fourside. Banyule were only able to stay with the ladderleaders for the first half last week, until Peninsulaturned it on and upset Banyule’s hopes for a doublechance. A loss this week would see Banyule dropagain to fourth position, whilst a victory could seethem snatch second spot.

Therry Penola will not be an easy task for Banyule, asthey come off a very comfortable win against Ivanhoewhich all but secures their position in the top four.The game started slowly last week with both teamstaking their time adjusting to the conditions, but thenTherry opened up a lead and Ivanhoe were simplyunable to stay with them. CCoorreeyy BBaannnniisstteerr movesever closer to the celebrated hundred goals mark,while MMaatthheeww RReeyynnoollddss and MMiicchhaaeell CCoosstteellllooacross the backline were very good also.

Williamstown CYMS have snatched second positionand the double chance with just one week remainingin the regular season. After a huge victory over YarraValley the CY’s leapt over Banyule and simply have towin next week to hold their position. Williamstownhad the game sewn up after outscoring Yarra Valleyinto a strong breeze in the first quarter, and thenpunishing the bottom side in the second by kickingten goals to one. Yarra Valley regrouped somewhatafter the break and were able to win their share of theball during the third term but were wasteful upforward kicking only one goal from seven scoringshots. The revival was short-lived as Williamstownseized complete control during the last term to kicktwelve unanswered goals to register their biggest

winning margin of the year.In the midfield JJuulliiaannHHaattffiieelldd continued hisrecent good form with apolished game in thecentre. He had a capableally in rover MMaatttthheeww LLiisshhmmaann who showed plenty ofzip in and around the packs. Yarra Valley still havesomething to play for against Glen Eira this week, asthey will strive to avoid the wooden spoon.

Glen Eira produced a spirited effort against a classierWestbourne outfit with more to play for. The victorykept Old Westbourne’s season alive mathematically,however it would take an unbelievable game againstWilliamstown this week to see them gain enoughpercentage to take over Therry Penola. Westbourne’sbest were PPaauull OO’’KKeeeeffee and PPaauull HHuuddssoonn with threegoals, whilst AAlleexx TTssiirrooggiiaannnniiss, SSaaiidd EEllmmii and BBoonnggooVVaammvvaakkaass in his 150th game were good for Glen Eira.A good opportunity this weekend for the Saints tofinish their season on a high.

Eltham’s second half of the season has not quite livedup to the promise of a team with so much potential.The Paradians were too good for them at ElthamCollege on the weekend, and although they sit next toeach other on the ladder, there seems to be a largegap between these two sides. However they are bothsides that are improving, and the signs have beenthere throughout the season that both these teamsare capable of much improvement. Old Paradians cantest themselves against the best this weekend, andEltham have the opportunity to finish their seasonwith a win against Old Ivanhoe.

Sections, a Club Best andFairest winner andmember of the Club’sTeam of the Century,George had been a typical“heart and soul” memberof his Club.

At the Umpires’ Annual pre-finals Dinner awards weremade to – Peter Simpson and Geoff Curran (LifeMembership), John Robinson and Phil Callil (10 YearsService), Ben Ryde (Golden Whistle Award), SimonStokes (Most Improved Field Umpire) and Peter Angelis(Best First Year Umpire).

10 YEARS AGO – 1999In A Section, St Kevins played St Bernards and with thefinal four settled, SKOBS were looking to strengthen theirform for the coming finals’ series. St Bernards would finishin the middle but were determined to finish on a winningnote. And what a close contest it became – SKOBS holdinga slight advantage at quarter time and maintained thenarrow margin (1 goal) at half time. The third quarter wastorrid stuff as St Bernards tried to get their noses in frontand while they threatened, SKOBS held firm. The finalterm commenced with both forward lines looking verydangerous. Damian Ryan and Sam Lowerson the maintargets for SKOBS and Nick Mitchell and Jason Gollantprominent for the Bernies. Despite the importance of astrong finish by SKOBS with a first semi-final looming, StBernards closed in and hit the front just before the bell towin 18.12 to 17.12 in an entertaining game. Best players –J Gollant (7), N Mitchell (5), Gleeson, Harvey, S Perrett,Osborne (St Bernards) and Finch, Callery, Perrett,Powell, D Ryan (5), Fraser (SKOBS).

In B Section, Mazenod hosted Beaumaris and had to winto have a chance of making the four and at the same timeneeding Old Paradians to defeat North Old Boys. Neitherof these prognostications were impossible. Mazenodstarted slowly as Beaumaris made the most of their chancesbut the home side had sneaked in front by half time. Fivegoals each in the third term set the scene for a desperate lastquarter and it was Mazenod who wanted it more as theyforged a 15.11 to 13.7 victory. They had more reason tocelebrate as soon as they found out NOBS had been beaten;they could now prepare for the finals. Best players –O’Donoghue, Polin, McMullin, Belleville (3),Cavanagh, Ryan (Mazenod) and Mitchell, Lee, M Quinn(3), Rowbury, Sherman, Ensor (Beaumaris).

. . . Retrospectiveby Geoff Reilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2004In A Section, Old Trinity (fourth) faced up to ladderleaders, University Blues. A win to Trinity would be verywelcome as Old Scotch (fifth) were sure to defeat lowlyplaced Whitefriars and if so, would continue to snap atTrinity’s heel. A win to Trinity would in fact secure theirfirst ever, A Section finals’ participation. The Blues startedslowly and at quarter time trailed Trinity by 3 goals. TheBlues leveled at half time but Trinity kicked clear again inthe third quarter. In a great last term Trinity held the leaduntil the talented George De Crespigny slotted one, 45meters out on a tight angle and Trinity would now have towin the following week at De La Salle. Final scores – TheBlues 11.14 to Old Trinity 10.13. Best players – Nailon,Lowcock (3), J K Brook, De Crespigny (3), North,Young (Uni Blues) and Williams, Neville, G Deane-Johns, T Van Der Venne, Cultrera (3), Buttler (OldTrinity).

A thrilling contest took place at Brindisi Street where StBedes Mentone Tigers (third) hosted Old EssendonGrammarians (fifth) in a match that would in allprobability decide the final four. Old Essendon wereoutstanding early and peppered the goals but only scored3.5 to 0.2 at quarter time. St Bedes only just outscored theEssendonians in the second term and trailed by 3 goals athalf time. The difference remained three goals at the finalbreak after a tough, tight 30 minutes of footy and in thefinal term, every player threw everything they had at thecontest before St Bedes got to the front and hung on by thenarrowest of margins 11.14 to 10.19. It would now takealmost a miracle for Essendon to make it with 1 round toplay. Best players – Zakic, M Wintle, Bristow, P Wintle,Groves, Kane (St Bedes) and Wicks, Biggs, Foster,Oxnam, Fleming, Flaherty (Old Essendon).

De La Salle’s “Captain Courageous”, Robbie Bonnici,played his 150th game comprising 138 senior and 12Under 19 matches. Robbie had been a consistent highachiever in VAFA awards being 3rd in A Section in 1998,winner in B Section in 2000 and 4th in B Section in 2003.He represented the VAFA at U19 level in both 1998 and1999 in addition to numerous awards for his Club includingClub Champion in 2004 and Club Captain. (Robbie isstill contributing strongly to De La in 2009 as an AssistantCoach and Fitness Advisor – GR)

One of Old Ivanhoe’s most colorful players, GeorgeHaros, reached his 200th game. A member of the winningpremiership teams of 1994, 1995 and 2001 in D, C and B

The boys from Bulleen clearly took their feet of the pedalhaving led at half time then allowing Old Carey to kick 14goals to 7 in the second half; final score Old Carey 19.12 to15.18. Best players – McHarg, McMahon, Loader,Harrison (4), R Weir, Smith (Old Carey) and Ling,Lockhart, Clark (6), Kelly (Bulleen Templestowe.

40 YEARS AGO – 1969In E Section, Elsternwick hosted Old Mentonians and thevisitors needed a big win to take Elsternwick’s place in thefour. Elsternwick made it clear in the first quarter that theirspot was not up for grabs with 8.3 to 3.3 and went furtherahead by half time. Mentonians rallied in the third term butcould not make up the difference and with 7 goals in thefinal term, Elsternwick were looking forward to thecommencement of the finals the following week. Bestplayers – Fitzsimmons, Ramsay, Caravias (5), Sharpe(3), Everett, Holt (Elsternwick) and Sinclair, Jamieson,Pearson, Vinning, Robertson, Moloney (Old Mentone).

In the final round in Junior Section 2, Army Apprenticesscored a huge win over National Bank, 38.34 to 0.1.Unfortunately for the Army lads, they finished 2 pointsoutside the top four. Despite a very difficult season,National Bank, were to be congratulated for completing theseason and avoiding a last round walk over. The bankershad only scored 221 points for the entire season and finishedwith a percentage of 6.4, one of the lowest on record. Theydid however have 8 points for the season due to the bye inthis section! Best players Clapton (6), Kelly (8), Prince(13), Black (3), Terry (Army Apprentices) and Canty,Garro, K Bentley, Miller, Kurpell, Vale (National Bank).

50 YEARS AGO – 1959The Association Best and Fairest award winners wereannounced. A Section – I Law (Old Scotch) 1st, J Winneke(Uni Blacks) 2nd, D Wright (Alphington) 3rd, G Hibbins(Collegians) 4th. B Section – J Nelson (MHSOB) 1st, LEldering (Commonwealth Bank) 2nd, I Mort (Kew) 3rd,F Hillyear (Coburg) 4th, I Redpath (Geelong) 5th. CSection – R Harrison (Caulfield Grammarians) 1st, KShearn (UHS Old Boys) 2nd, D Foster (UHS Old Boys)3rd, R Conway (Port Melbourne) 4th, H Marston(Bellfield) 5th. D Section - J Douglas (SKOBS) 1st, WMcGrory (Murrumbeena) 2nd, P Kalman (AJAX) 3rd. ESection – I Hughes (West Brunswick) 1st, R McLellan(Old Brighton) 2nd, C Batrouney (Old Trinity) 3rd.Junior Section – R Smith (Hampton Rovers) 1st, RHumphries (Alphington) and G Eddy (West Brunswick)Eq 2nd, B Currie (University) 3rd.

Old Carey’s Captain, David Yuille, became the firstplayer for his club to reach 100 games. David, a foundingmember of the club, continued to play an important part onand off the field.

20 YEARS AGO – 1989In C Section, although the game between Ivanhoe and OldIvanhoe Grammarians could affect relegation, it nevereven came close as Ivanhoe smashed the Grammar boys22.15 to 3.7. Ivanhoe would live to fight another season inC Section whilst Old Ivanhoe would accompany St Kevinsto D Section for the 1990 season. Old Ivanhoe could noteven muster the strength to submit their best players andgoal kickers. Ivanhoe acknowledged the efforts ofLengacher (6), Donohue, Barro, Gittos (5), Witchell andBarro.

In D Section, it was a preview of the following week’ssecond semi-final as Thomastown (1st) and OldMentonians (2nd) went into battle. Thomastown’s homeground advantage meant for nothing in the first quarterwhen Old Mentonians had 15 shots on goal to their 4,however, Mentone only converted 4 times to lead 4.11 to2.2 at the first break. Thomastown went into top gear in thesecond term and kicked 5.9 to Mentonians’ single behindand in a tight third quarter, held their lead, albeit narrowedto 11 points. In a great last quarter for the ladder leaders andpossibly a huge psychological advantage in the weeksahead, Thomastown kicked 5.10 to run out very easywinners, 13.23 to 8.15. Best players – Karalambelas (4),Molella, Leavold, Koulinos, Carroll, F Farchione(Thomastown) and Gardner, Newman, G Buxton, RBuston, Barrett, Grant (Old Mentonians).

Two centuries had been recorded by Sharpshooters todate. Wilson of La Trobe University (E Section) andMcGowan of Williamstown were on 105 and 102 goalsrespectively. McGowan remarkably kicked 24 goals in thelast round against the hapless Eltham!

30 YEARS AGO – 1979In C Section, St Kevins faced up to top team Kew andneeded to win to cement their place in the four. It alsodepended on the result of the St Kilda CBC versus OldIvanhoe game with St Kilda needing to win to have achance of taking St Kevins fourth spot. St Kevins were upagainst it early in the game as the Kew powerhouse sprunginto action with 7.5 to 2.2 at quarter time. SKOBS foughtback to get within three and a half goals at half time. Kewkicked clear again in the third and were too powerful in thefourth as SKOBS went down 18.14 to 23.15 in a valianteffort. Waiting for the results of the St Kilda CBC game tocome through SKOBS half expected the result, a St Kildawin and SKOBS out of the finals’ race!

In D Section, games went pretty much to expectations withthe exception of the loss by second placed BulleenTemplestowe to fifth placed Old Carey Grammarians.No real damage however to the Combine who would stillface up to hot favourites MHSOB in the second semi final.

Powerhouse do not registerwins in the final round.However the home side neededform running into finals andwere red hot all day. It should be noted how far the homeside has come as their seconds kicked twenty four goalsfor the day here and have stormed home after a terriblestart to the year.

That relegation battle we refer to is with Powerhouseright now and they had another tough road trip this timeto Doveton and the St John’s boys, who desperatelyneeded a result to keep a chance alive for fourth spot.This game had so much riding on it and the Piranhasagain just had to hang in there and take it goal by goal.One of the big issues that has faced the travelling teamhere is goals outside EEddwwaarrddss when they elect to playhim forward. Any team realises the value of strongmarking options who can contribute with six pointers,and this squad just not have any in form. A side that was5 and 4 now find themselves 5 and 12 after another loss.St Johns have improved their scoring options since 2008and through SSccootttt and PPeeaakkee they were able to mange ascore again over 100 points. BBeenn PPiicckkeerriinngg is very adaptin a game of cricket but people shouldn’t forget hisfootball prowess either. Another great season from theclub champion.

The Hawks went south to the lush surrounds of BentleighReserve knowing this was last roll of the dice time. Ithought their set up would enjoy the open forwardexpanses of the ground the conditions were going to suita high scoring affair which never bothers them. The homeside have been enormous all season and really excelled tolead our competition well. The Bentleigh was short theleagues leading goal score in SShhaarrpp but enjoy having aback up in LLaasskkeeyy and RRoobbeerrttssoonn. The first half wasthoroughly entertaining and the home side was just threepoints ahead and not able to shake the Hawks. Butperhaps it was fitting that in the ‘third’ or Premiershipquarter Benteligh won a lot of contested ball, controlledthe tempo and converted accordingly. In the end the 48point margin seemed fair and the travellers here have juststruggled against the better opponents over a whole day.

A prevailing breeze was noticeable at McAlister oval forthe local derby of sorts with the Magpies hosting Uni

High. Both sides have been good in recent times andthis was a tough and close affair most of the day. Unihave at times not done too well with converting a scorewith all their hard work and this was on show again thisweek. Their six goals was not a big enough return hereand the home side were too consistent inside theirforward arc. SShhaannnnoonn MMooaannggllee did well to hold downthe defensive side of things for the home team in hisbest effort for the year. MMaagguuggaann and GGaallll alsocontinued their good form of late to help the Magpies toanother home victory.

So the top three (not in order) is now done and dusted.The battle for second is between St Marys Salesian andSt Francis Xavier is separated by 4% or about 40 points.

For fourth place Elsternwick lead the battle by just 3%and need a good showing to hold on given their draw.

The relegation spot sees Powerhouse uncomfortablyhold an advantage of just 4%.

TTIIPPSS –– Yes, margins here will have impact everywhere.

Powerhouse host Bentleigh, just need to go into lockdown and impersonate the set of Outbreak. Who will betheir Dustin Hoffman or Renae Russo ? Away team by50 points. St Johns to beat Monash as they are gunning for finalsbut only by say 10 points. That has Powerhouse stayingup, by hey, I’m no math degree holder.Elsternwick will be going off like a fish milkshake athome to the X Men and win their way to a finalsexistence whilst our less poignant moments seeHawthorn beat the Magpies by ten goals and St Mary’sSalesian hold second spot beating Uni High.

What a finish !

Well folks, with just a game to go in our regular home andaway year we can now confirm that our top four is notsettled nor is the only relegation spot settled. In what canonly be described as a dramatic season I can not think theVAFA would have wanted our section go any other way.Unlike Under 19’s competitions of just last week we haveno forfeits, we have just good old fashioned familyfootball being fostered in all parts of Melbourne.

We may as well start at Ferndale Park, where playerswere greeted with surprisingly warm and breezyconditions. Coach GGrraaccee knew that it was D Day for hischargers and only a win would satisfy the objective allthe way back to their planning day in January for 2009,that is, play finals. For too long the ‘Wicks had knowntheir ability when shown in maximum gear can troubleany D3 side but they were resigned to the fact that someroad performances were below standard in the past fewseasons and that had to change. This was anothercommanding road show from the red and black and aterrific victory against a very well organised St Mary’sSalesian side. A total of 34 scoring shots showed thedominance of the away team who are not troubled onsmall to medium sized grounds and have now maturedinto a consistent four quarter package. Their best resulthere I guess was the fact they did not allow the hometeam multiple scorers that we have been used to. In fact,their score of just ten goals twelve behinds was a poorreturn on such a day.

Monash who just had to hang tough all day at St FrancisXavier endured a harsh reality check against thiscompetitions most exciting prospect. I say most excitinggiven their tender age of the club and the way they are socommitted to playing all day football. The Gryphons wereon the board early which was critical but then aprocession of classy goals ensured the X Men held astrong lead at half time. There are some hard nuts in thehome side line up and MMaatthheerrss and PPrryyoorr lead the teamin that area. Again in the 3rd term the Xmen, kicking withthe aid of the strong breeze kicked 7 goals for the termto not only put the game in no doubt, but get some muchneeded form before the finals. The highlight in the finalterm was a super goal from Spencer, off the ground froma boundary throw in. It was a dreadful result for Monashin the context of their relegation battle, as they couldpossibly hang on through percentage if they and

Page 22: Editorial - Victorian Amateur Football Association · quarter to play. Xavs got to within two goals midway through the final term, but missed four clear shots to end their chances

I’m not sure when the ‘Wizard’ transported tornadoalley to Melbourne but I am sure I spotted a certainonballer clicking his red boots together and whispering“There’s no place like home. There’s no place likehome…” as we were plagued by yet another blusteryday, albeit in bright sunshine. Whilst we haveexperienced yet another dry winter I am certain we havenever seen one so windy.The match of the round at Kevin Bartlett reservecertainly displayed a final like atmosphere as the Ramslocked horns with the Snakes. With LLuukkee EEvvaannssapplying a vice-like grip to. NNaatthhaann NNuusskkee and JJuussttiinnRRoobbeerrttss converting up forward the Rams bounced outto an early lead in the first quarter. With twelve scoringshots to three Mt Lilydale’s lead could have been evenbigger however accurate foot-skills were at a premiumin the ravenous gale. Richmond duly countered in thesecond, with DDaanniieell PPiikkee consistently clearing the ballfrom the centre and DDeeaann SSuutthheerrllaanndd pushing hardforward to kick a couple. At half time only a solitarygoal separated the two sides. In the third Richmondapplied the clamps to Mt Lilydale, with some dourdefence, and assisted by some poor shooting for goal,managed to restrict the Rams to only two goals and anarrow 16 pt lead. IN the final quarter, despite an earlygoal to the away team, Richmond Central were able tokick some long goals to bridge the gap and sneak aheadat the final bell. KKeevviinn MMaanniissccaallcchhii was a fantastic fourquarter contributor for Mt Lilydale, whilst Snake, RRooooLLiiddddiiee again showed why he is one of the premierwingmen in the competition.South Mornington placed themselves within sniffingdistance of a finals berth in only their second seasonwith a big win over Chadstone. From the first bouncethe Tiger onballers dominated proceedings withMMiicchhaaeell HHeeiibb carrying the ball by a string, and coachSShhaannee MMoottttrraamm providing huge problems for theSynners’ backline. Each quarter the home sideextended their lead despite some strong defensiveefforts by DDaammoonn CCuummiinngg and at the final bell hadrecorded a huge victory. Whilst only Manninghamapparently stands between South and the finals, theywould need to be fully prepared as the Cobras wouldrate themselves a good chance of a home victory andwill steel themselves to shape the finals.At Elgar Park the Cobras kicked first with the breeze,and with youngster CChhrriiss AArrmmaann continuing to displaysome fantastic endeavour, the away side jumped out toan early lead. In the second the Demons duly bouncedback like their AFL counterparts and with DDaann PPeennnnyy

showing some of histrademark skill, managedto claw back the lead. Athalf time the game wasvirtually even and theability to score against thewind was going to prove crucial. In the third CraigIrvine duly responded, and provided the catalyst acrosshalf forward as Box Hill North managed an outstandingsix goals to three into the avaricious gale. DespiteSStteevviiee SShheeaalleess again showing a clean pair of heals,Manningham were unable to edge back into the gameand Box Hill North continued their determined efforts ofthe past couple of weeks, epitomised by CChhrriissLLaanngglleeyy’’ss fantastic defensive efforts.With the Eastern boundary umpire enjoying a quiet dayas the wind pushed the ball to the South-West pocket,JJaammeess SSuuttttoonn showed that there was still some springin his well-worn legs controlling the ruck for theFalcons. Albert Park struck hard early despite a slightwind disadvantage, and quickly established acomfortable lead. JJaassoonn HHaarrkkiinnss was working hard forNorth in defence; however Albert Park were showing theimportant ability to find multiple goal-kickers. In thesecond they extended their lead, and despite some greatfight from the green and gold, continued to increase themargin, albeit slightly, as the match wore on. BackmenOOllllyy WWiinncchheesstteerr and JJuussttiinn KKaannee provided drive for theFalcons who appear to have a lot of depth, and with acouple of players possibly returning next week AlbertPark will be very hard to beat in the finals. BBeenn WWiilllliiaammsswas great for North Brunswick as was competition bestand fairest contender AAddaamm JJeeffffrreeyy.Eley Park managed to hold onto a five goal lead goinginto the last quarter with DDaavviidd BBeennnneetttt and MMiicchhaaeellVViioollaa leading the way. As in quite a few games thisseason the Razorbacks were unable to quite snarevictory as they fought back hard. AAddaamm ‘‘MMiissttyy’’ HHyymmaannworked hard for the home side, as did ex-Dragon Big Vplayer JJiimmmmyy LLeeeess.In a thriller between two closed-lipped sides, Kew justsnuck home at Victoria Park. In a match that wasclosely contested all day, the Bears managed to edgehome to keep themselves in prime position for thirdspot, and to create the possibility of a repeat of thiscontest in the first week of the finals. TTiimm BBaaggnnaall llkicked his fiftieth goal for the year, and the having a keyforward kick a bag of goals was possibly the differenceas Latrobe had a bevy of goal-kickers but only thesolitary multiple goal-kicker in DDeeaann SShheellddrriicckk.

JJooeeyy’’ss JJaarrggoonnThe Krushers have firmed into solid favouritism after a stronglast quarter signifying they’re the main player. You would feelthat the Oaks v Bullants Grand Final quinella is the shortpriced favourite but finals as they normally do throw up someextra pressure and anything can be expected although thesetwo sides have been the best all year and deserve their place.But there is still one round to go and two sides vying for onespot in the four. Also, I tipped zero of four this week, why theVAFA intrust me with this job I’m not sure…..

LLaasstt RRoouunndd::SStt BBeerrnnaarrddss vv UUHHSS // FFlleemm:: In a low scoring affair, St Bernardsdefeated UHS to gain some momentum coming into finalsand put some pressure on the ultra consistent UHS lads.Jones was the difference it seemed for the snow dogs kicking3 goals in a best on ground performance. The St Bernardsboys have hit their straps at the right time that is for sure.Better players for UHS were Everist and Coombe who we havebecome accustomed too.

NNoorrtthheerrnn BBuullllaannttss vv OOaakklleeiigghh:: Well match of the round wasup and going until the last change but after that it was allOakleigh as they put the foot down to pull away to win by acool 49 points and more importantly for them continue to flextheir muscle. Pappon and Scott were up to their old tricks asper usual with the Krushers forwards making the most of theiropportunities. For the Bullants it was Simcoe and Beamesleading from the front.

Page 25: Editorial - Victorian Amateur Football Association · quarter to play. Xavs got to within two goals midway through the final term, but missed four clear shots to end their chances

The Eagles continued their lateseason run taking care of nextdoor neighbours Old Trinity to thetune of 14 goals. Running with nobench Old Trinity were in the gameearly but had the goal radarslightly off and unfortunately whilethey were scoring behindsMarcellin were kicking straight andafter quarter time could no longercontain The Eagles who poweredaway with the win. Best for OTwere Nick Birrell and ThomasFogarty while for Marcellin DanMcMahon with 9 goals was thestandout Premier player of theround.A rare Sunday fixture saw De La Salle (Blues) travel toMelbourne Uni to take on Uni Blacks in what wasexpected to be a one sided affair. Conditions weren’t greatfor clean, free flowing footy and both teams struggled toput the score on the board. The resulting slog went theway of De La with Kieran Ellis and Aiden Orr-O’Farrellamongst the votes for the Blue and Gold. ZacharyO’Connor from Uni Blacks rounds out my all Irish bestplayer report getting plenty of the pill on a dirty day forthe Uni side.

With the final four settled unless Xavs and Beaumarisboth win by 20+ goals (won’t happen) our attention turnsto the lower rungs. Rumor abounds that yet anothershake up of the U19 divisions is coming but for now I’lltreat it as the normal 2 down 2 up scenario meaning OldTrinity will drop with either Marcellin or Rupertswood tofollow.The Eagles take on De La Salle (Blues) with De La to winby 6 goals meaning the game at Rupertswood betweenRupo and St Bedes Mentone Tigers is the match de jour.The Tigers showed glimpses of what could have been lastweek against Xavs and won’t go away without a fightwhile Rupo have no choice but to win. This will be acracker with the road trip taking it’s toll on The Tiges andThe Woodsman to survive in Premier another year. Rupoby 2 goals.Xavs over Blues by a goal or two.Old Scotch by 5 goals against Beauy.Old Trinity to say ciao to premier with a 2 goal win.Please send your Team of the Year nominations torroossss2266@@iiiinneett..nneett..aauu The side will appear in the GFedition of this article.

UUNNDDEERR 1199 PPRREEMMIIEERRYou had to feel sorry for Dino; drawing the early game ina SBMT Vs Xavs triple header at Brindisi St wasn’t ideal.As if it wasn’t tough enough getting your side prepared toplay at a time when most Auskickers are still pouring milkover their weet-bix. Trying to coax your clearest tacticalthoughts out 5 hours earlier than usual and hoping all ofyour player’s alarm clocks work, you also have to dealwith that nagging feeling of being watched. Playersparents, club supporters and administrators all look to thecoach for assured decision making that’s in the bestinterest of the team but rarely at this level can a coach turnaround and see so many of his peers scrutinizing his sidesevery move. Under the watchful eyes of the other finals bound coachesfrom De La, Old Scotch and Uni Blues, Old Xavs battledkicking into the wind in the first quarter while St BedesMentone Tigers went long at every opportunity. With thebreeze however The Claret and Stout looked smart,patiently and systematically finding the forward in the bestposition to score and the results began to come. Thesecond half was a pretty even affair with no side able toput the other away until with only 4 minutes to go Xavs hitthe lead and then followed up shortly after with the sealer.For the Tigers Dale Foley was amongst everything whilefor Old Xavarians the lively Tristan Parker was superimpressive in his first game in the Premier divisionfollowing a sensational season in the North 2 line up.Later in the day all eyes turned to Banksia Reserve asBeaumaris hosted Uni Blues in a battle that would have ahuge impact on fourth spot and early on it looked asthough the Sharks had the answers. After the first breakthough Uni Blues gained the upper hand with some soliddefensive work the Blue Boys strangled Beauy’s forwardsupply and in turn hit up their numerous forward threatsand extended their lead throughout the remainder of theday. Best for The Sharks were Tim Lees and Greg Robertswhile for Uni Blues Angus Nice and Ben McClure were allclass.Rupertswood traveled to Camberwell desperate to beatOld Scotch and give themselves every opportunity toavoid relegation however Old Scotch were themselvesdesperate for a win to right the ship a couple of weeks outfrom finals. Right the ship they did, comprehensivelysmashing The Woodsman on their way to a 19 goalvictory. Standouts were everywhere for The Cards as 10different goal scorers joined in the party while Ash Limcontinued his rich vein of form. For Rupo, Kayne Murphyand Ahren Berry provided most highlights in what was aforgettable day for the undermanned Sunburians.

UUNNDDEERR 1199 SSOOUUTTHH 11 AANNDD 22SSoouutthh 11RReevviieeww::Well that smell of finals footy is so close I can taste it. Thebig question this week is do the St Kevins lads want to bethere? Two weeks ago they were looking to secure adouble chance then they drop two games and findthemselves a game out of the 4. In diabolical trouble theywere beaten at the weekend by a far more desperate De LaSalle who have really busted their chops to be competitivein South 1 this year after fielding another side it is a realcredit to a strong VAFA club. The final margin was 34points.

Old Brighton have remained in the 4 after a Caulfieldbelting to the tune of 62 points. J. Portelli booted 4 and P.Healey had a ton of prune. The Brighters need a win tostay in the 4 next week as the Kev's have a Bye but this isthe case for De La salle and Ormond also.

Speaking of Ormond they again had another solid win asthey smashed Mazenod by 146 points. J. Plostins booted6 and S. Clements jagged 5 as the Monders face thedaunting task of knocking off the Burners to play finals inseason 09.

The Collegians continued their 2nd half sprint to the finishline as they again recorded another impressive win overOld Haileybury by 40 points. A terrific finish to the seasonfrom the Collegians.

Melburnians had the week on ice in preparation for thisyears final campaign.

PPrreevviieeww::De La Salle vs. Mazenod: De La to secure a finals birth.Caulfield vs. Old Haileybury: Caulfield by 6 goals.Collegians vs. Old Brighton: a must win for Old Brighton 5goals.Old Melburnians vs. Ormond: Ormond need to win and illgive them a chance. 2 goals.St Kevins to rely on the bye getting them in the final 4.

The rain had ceased by thethird quarter, which reallybelonged to Old Brighton,who with surer ball handlingadded four goals while restricting the Blacks to a solitarygoal.In the last quarter, there was no scoring until at the tenminute mark. Old Brighton then attacked for thediminutive, MMaatttthheeww JJaacckkssoonn to score a lifting goal froman acute angle.Quickly the Black’s Coach, LLiinnccoollnn MMeerrlloo replied and hisexample was followed by his teammates whose late rallyleft them just ten points short of their quest as the gamewound down to the final siren.Best for Old Brighton were: NNiicchhoollllss,, MMaatttthheeww JJaacckkssoonn,,JJaacckkssoonn MMaagguuiirree and SSeesstt (5 goals) For the Blacks the defeat meant another premature finishto a successful season and a third successive PreliminaryFinal loss.

NNoorrtthh Old Essendon, who opened with the wind advantage, heldout Banyule in the first quarter as they led by twenty twopoints at the first change. The second quarter advantage again belonged to OldEssendon, who while conceding three goals to Banyule,kicked three themselves into the wind. At half time OldEssendon led by twenty one points.The third quarter again provided an even contest as eachside added three goals, which enabled Old Essendon tolead by twenty six points at the last change. A third quarterhighlight was the long goal, “soccered” off the cricketpractice area and into the wind by Banyule veteran, DDaavviiddWWiillll iiaammss.The last quarter provided a tense contest as Banyuleplayers repeatedly sent the ball forward as they tried toclaim the lead. Banyule’s efforts petered out when theytrailed by a point. Old Essendon, in a rare forward move,then goaled to secure a seven point victory.Best for Old Essendon were: MMiicchhaaeell FFllaahheerrttyy with fourgoals, veteran BBrreetttt PPaappaall, TTooootteellll and HHoowwaarrdd.SSccootttt PPllaayyffaaiirr, GGrraayy, HHaazzeellwwoooodd and HHeerrbbeerrtt were bestfor Banyule.

SSoouutthhOrmond regained lost form when they outlasted CaulfieldGrammarians by twenty points to earn another chance tochallenge Old Melburnians for the premiership.The game provided a close contest for most of its duration

with neither team being able gain the ascendancy.Generally each defence outplayed the opposing forwardsand often players were forced to win the ball from a pack.Late in the final quarter Ormond was able to break awayand kick three unanswered goals to give themselves theirtwenty point winning margin. Best for Ormond were: TToomm HHaayyssoomm,, MMaatttt.. HHoollmmaann andBBrreennddaann MMaarrcchh.For Caulfield Grammarians: TToomm JJuuddssoonn,, SSccootttt SSaauunnddeerrssand the consistent SSiimmoonn CCuunnlliiffffee were adjudged best.

PPRREEVVIIEEWW OOFF GGRRAANNDD FFIINNAALLSSSSeeccttiioonn 11Today’s opponents Old Xaverians 2 and Collegians haveplayed twice this season. The Xaverians have won bothgames … by six points in Round 9 and by the minimummargin (in extra time) in the Second Semi Final.Judged on these performances another close contestshould ensue today. How have Collegians’ playersrecovered from last Sunday’s conditions? The week’s restsurely will be in the Old Xaverian’s favour.In the semi final, MMoorrttoonn proved an effective forward andthe Collegians’ defenders led by PPeerrkkoovv and SScchhnnookknneecchhttmust again be able to negate Xaverians forward thrusts.The final’s to date have been low scoring affairs in whichdefenders have done well. Can a forward take controltoday?I expect a close encounter although I favour the OldXaverians because of their previous victories and becauseof their fresher legs.

SSeeccttiioonn 22The season’s third clash between Marcellin and OldBrighton should provide a fitting climax to the season.Their first meeting was at Bulleen in Round 9 whenMarcellin won by forty one points. At Brighton Beach inRound 14, Old Brighton triumphed by twenty seven points.It is a football axiom that forwards win matches and so ithas been borne out between these teams. At Marcellin,GGaarryy PPeettrrooffff,, DDuussttiinn CCrraacckknneellll and LLaacchhllaann HHaannsseenn wereall multiple scorers. Sest for Old Brighton kicked fourgoals in Round 14 and is in form as he kicked five lastSunday. Today’s winning team will be the one whoseforwards can gain the ascendancy.Who from Marcellin can negate MMaatttthheeww JJaacckkssoonn?? CanOld Brighton stop AArrmmssttrroonngg, DDiiggnnaamm and AAbboouudd frominfluencing the result?There are likely to be many vital duels in this game so topredict the winner is really difficult. I lean to Marcellin,whom Old Brighton Coach, MMaarrccuuss BBaarrbbeerr considers to bethe best his team has encountered, simply because they

CLUB XVIII SECTIONby Norm Nugent

Conditions last Sunday really tested the stamina andadaptability of all players as winds blew and swirledaround Sports Cover Arena throughout the seven hours ofplay. In addition rain fell for a long period. In contrast theSouth Section Preliminary Final on the previous Fridayevening was played in clear and mild conditions. Of mypredictions only Old Brighton won; so my success ratewas a mere 25%.

RREEVVIIEEWW OOFF PPRREELLIIMMIINNAARRYY FFIINNAALLSSSSeeccttiioonn 11By scoring a hard earned victory by nine points, Collegiansbroke their three game losing streak in finals.University Blues, who kicked against the wind afterwinning the toss, were first to score and after a lowscoring opening quarter, the Blues led by five points at thefirst change.The second quarter saw only three scoring shots with thesolitary goal being kicked for Collegians who led by a pointat half time.Only inaccuracy up forward prevented Collegians fromholding a lead greater than five points at three quartertime. The Blues seemed to tire and Collegians greaterheight combined with their cleaner ball handling seemedlikely to result in victory.Perhaps the Blues thought the wind would aid their finalquarter attacks but in reality their own inept kicking forgoal assisted by the greater aerial strength of theCollegians rucks and defenders meant the Blues wereunable to wrest the lead at any stage. A late goal byCollegians was the “sealer” and gave them an eight pointvictory.Collegians best were: RRoossss,, WWoozznniiaakk,, CCooookk and the everreliable, veteran, DDaavvee PPeerrkkoovv.For University Blues: WWiillssoonn, the veterans CCaalllleerryy and““BBoommbbeerr”” TThhoommaass as well as Captain Coach, TToomm.GGrraannlleeeessee were best.

SSeeccttiioonn 22Rain fell throughout the first half of this game as MinorPremiers, University Blacks and Old Brighton battled forthe right to challenge Marcellin for the premiership.The Blacks had first advantage of the wind but determinedBrighton defence held them to three goals. Converselywhen Old Brighton did go forward they were able to addtwo goals. Low scoring continued into the second quarter,when Old Brighton only managed two goals with the windto one by the Blacks into it. At half time the Blacks led bya point.

rested last Sunday while Old Brighton battled in the heavyconditions at Sportscover Arena.

NNoorrtthhOld Ivanhoe and Old Essendon clash for the fourth timethis season today, with honours favouring Old Ivanhoe twowins to one.In the semi final, Old Ivanhoe came from behind to defeatOld Essendon, who then had a hard game last Sunday inthe wind and rain while Old Ivanhoe players relaxed.A significant factor in deciding the outcome of this gamecould be the overall evenness of the Old Ivanhoe side. Ineach of their three games six different players have beennamed as the best whereas Old Essendon have relied onthe efforts of FFllaahheerrttyy, who has been a prolific goal kicker.WWiilllliiaammssoonn, the fleet footed FFeerrnnaannddoo and OOvveerrmmaann arethree other players on whom Old Essendon has relied.Judged on their overall performances this season there isvery little difference in the respective strengths of thesetwo sides. I suspect that Old Ivanhoe will win simplybecause they will outstay Old Essendon as they did twoweeks ago.

SSoouutthhOn form it would seem that Old Melburnians will be theshortest priced favourite in this week’s four Grand Finalsas they have thrice defeated Ormond including twocrushing wins in the past three weeks.Can Ormond cause an upset? Given good use of anyprevailing wind they can extend Old Melburnians. Toachieve success each Ormond player must concentrate onmatching his opponent and on being prepared to assist histeam mates. By cutting the supply of the ball to KKlluuttkkee,who has kicked fifteen goals in his last two games againstOrmond, the Ormond ruckmen and defenders will greatlyhelp their team’s cause.Old Melburnians are not unbeatable and strange results doemanate from Grand Finals. (Think 1995 and 2005 in ClubXV111) However on form I must select the OldMelburnians.
