WE ARE NOT ALONE

The events of the past week just go to show that itis not only the elite professional players that comeunder the media microscope but all football codesin general. Regardless of personal opinions on theseriousness of events that took place prior to theClub XVIII match on 1 May, the consequencesshould serve as warning to all players andadministrators from sporting clubs in all levels.

What disappointed me most of all about theincident was its timing and location. To chooseElsternwick Park, VAFA headquarters, before amatch played for premiership points is totallydisrespectful to opponents, the competition and theAssociation.

Whilst there may be many who find the eventsamusing, it strikes me as an immature andunsavoury display of machismo that belongs to abygone era.

The VAFA has an impeccable name in thecommunity, built by clubs, individuals and theAssociation over 115 years. I believe that if thisincident had occurred in another metropolitancompetition, the media could have been far moreaggressive. However, no matter the positives of ourAssociation, our name has been tainted by theseevents.

Whilst in speaking to the media about these eventswe endeavoured to stress our family friendlyculture, our alcohol-free policy and our history ofgood crowd behaviour, their focus was on theactions and the penalties.

So it was disappointing indeed that the Herald Sun,who viewed the episode as worthy of a Mondaymorning front page, got its facts wrong on thosepenalties when reporting the investigation findingson Tuesday.

While in the VAFA media release it clearly statesthat “The Prahran Amateur Football Club is fined$5000, of which $1000 is payable within 7 days and

the balance suspended untilthe conclusion of season2010, conditional on thegood behaviour of theclub,” Brendan Robertsreported that The VAFAfined the club $5000 . . .with a further $4000 finesuspended until the end of the 2010 season.

Radio stations took the Herald Sun story at facevalue and subsequent discussion featured criticismof the severity of our penalty. It goes to show thatno matter how diligent one can be in distributinginformation, the media, intentionally or not,sometimes does not pay the same attention todetail.

This story broke a week after the game on breakfastradio and it was then that we first acted to find outwhat had happened. A week later, a concoctedparagraph that bore little resemblance to the factsappeared in the Herald Sun. I can only presumethat because of the Matthew Johns affair, itsuddenly became a big story for Australia’s largestdistribution daily. Not only in Melbourne but it wasa lead item on Sky News in England.

All sporting clubs are now on notice. With digitalcameras and high resolution phone cams,anonymity can be difficult. When in the company ofteammates in any social situation, we are, rightly orwrongly, representing our club and individualbehaviour will be attributed to a wider group.

Prahran, as a club, did not organise theseshenanigans, but because they were set up by anindividual associated with their club, took place atVAFA headquarters in the Prahran rooms in front ofa Prahran team, means that the club must wear theburden of the penalty. That they accepted samewithout argument is a positive, but their nextchallenge is to ensure that they prevent furtherinfringement, which could spell the end of the lineof a proud old club in our Association. None of uswants that.

The team the premierssmashed the previousweek, Collegians, areemerging from the cloudsand will be well in the mixif their effort against OldIvanhoe is a guide. JJoonnoo DDiixxoonn is again the big manin town and posing problems for oppositiondefences. The Brownies might yet charge back intoit, but the portents aren’t good. They’ve been wellbehind by half-time in their four consecutive lossesand there will be a lot of head-scratching atChelsworth in the weeks ahead. AAddrriiaann DDeellmmoonntteecontinues to kick goals and is one of the fewpositives to emerge in a brown guernsey.

Sunday football returned to the Arena with a muchanticipated clash between Old Xaverians and OldBrighton. The conditions were not the issue they hadbeen the previous day and there was somemagnificent ball movement from both ballclubs.Somehow, you could sense the Red and Blacks hadbeen to HQ before. It was they who navigated theworn path to goals better than the Tonners and itpaid off. The young Xavs defence, currently leadingthe league, again blunted a dangerous forward setup.There would have been some sore bodies onMonday morning, as this was a tough contestindeed. The teams trudged off like boxers who hadgone fifteen rounds for a tie. The Xavs got the points,but both teams realise that a more meaningfulshowdown or two is likely before the season is done.

TTooddaayy::OOlldd IIvvaannhhooee @@ OOlldd EEsssseennddoonn:: Surely the Browniescan find form against the embattled boys in blue. Ifnot, it’s trouble ahead.

CCoolllleeggiiaannss @@ DDee LLaa:: An intriguing contest betweentwo in-form teams. I’ll take the visitors in a tight one.

SStt BBeeddee’’ss MMeennttoonnee TTiiggeerrss @@ OOlldd BBrriigghhttoonn:: Bede’swill find some reason to get riled and they’ll probablywin again. Tonners might be better on the road thanat home, but still could surprise.

MMaarrcceellll iinn @@ UUnnii BBlluueess:: Blues are better than theirrecord suggests and will get it done against a youngEagles team.

OOlldd SSccoottcchh vvss OOlldd XXaavveerriiaannss ((EE’’WWiicckk,, SSuunn)):: If Xavslet up on this one, they’ll be beaten. It’s their last dipat the ‘Wick this winter and they’ll win a tough one.

Former Marcellin star and now coach GGlleennnn CCooxxmight have left the wrong impression with the paneland listeners alike in his interview on 96.5 InnerFMlast Saturday morning. Resorting to the cliché that isthe preserve of the afflicted, viz. “We just want to becompetitive,” the rookie gaffer somewhat undersoldhis team’s intent.

By half-time, they were 39 points to the good anddespite a strong comeback from Old Scotch,managed to hold on by 7 points in a 35 minute finalquarter. Now the Eagles have opened their accountand are off the bottom and the punters who put downtheir hard-earned on this being the year of theCardinal are looking for avenues to lay them. With abunch of high profile recruits, a two-from-five startwas not the April expectation at Camberwell.

Meanwhile, the other promoted club, Old Essendon,which spent so many good seasons trying to makethe top tier, are winless and rattling around at thefoot of the table and picking a 40-1 chance at theDapto dogs seems a safer bet than getting on theBombers right now. Old Essendon has not yet foundanyone to get them a big score but that is just part ofthe problem. Their back half is conceding nearlytwenty goals a game. This was a club that recruitedwell over the summer months and seemed ready forprime time. Their performance against De La wouldindicate otherwise, though count yours truly amonga pack of pundits who marked the Sallies too hard inthe pre-season.

I also belong to the group that has the gold staralways at the ready to affix to the weekend work of StBede’s Mentone Tigers. They looked to be in sometrouble in the first ten minutes of their game againstUni Blues at Sportscover, but then someone wavedthe wand and away they went. Conditions weredifficult and the game was not of the higheststandard, though both teams were hard at it. TheBlues reminded me of a group of studious andthoughtful types trying to figure out Rubik’s Cube(and didn’t), whereas the Beders reminded me ofthose smarties capable of solving it as if the thingwere a puzzle for toddlers. Yes, they’re good, butthey would have been better had their opposition notworked so hard, particularly into the wind.

the first 3 goals of the lastto get a taste of it. Alasonce again the chargecould not be sustained andTrinity snap a 3 matchlosing streak. RRaammbboo wasmagnificent for themillionth time, six goals and a couple of easy missespaints the picture. JJaacckk OOssbboorrnn returned to formand Jumping JJaacckk HHeeaallyy continued his form.

Dual Brownlow medallists tend to inspire things. OnSaturday it was the Bloods to topple the table leaderSKOB. After a tight, tough encounter for the first 3quarters out at the Badlands OH converted theiraerial supremacy to run away to a 5 goal win in thelast. Harvs was sensational, his constant movementand goal from the boundary line a joy to watch.Industrious St Kevs onballer TToommmmyy SSiimmppssoonndominated the middle of the ground for much of the2nd & 3rd quarters but the black and magentadefence was stead fast only giving up 7 goals allday. No doubt SKOB forward line coach BarryStoneham will have the brain working overtimeduring the week.

It never rains but it pours!!! After a shaky start tothe season Hampton Rovers won their secondconsecutive game lifting them to the cusp of the 4.Visiting GB Rovers used the breeze at their backs tokick the first goal of the day within the 1st minuteand were never headed from that point. In an evenfirst half only a single major separated thecombatants at the main break. After half time HRAFCemerged from the club rooms breathing fire andwent on a scoring spree booting eight goals to blowthe margin out to 40 points and seemingly securingthe game.

However the home side had other ideas and theyslowly crept their way back into the game. With theclock exceeding 30 minutes, OC got themselveswithin six points and the pressure was right on theHampton Rovers. With every Hampton supporter atthe ground yelling for the siren, OC scored yetanother minor, bringing them to within 1 straightkick. In the final desperate seconds the Roversmanaged to hold the ball up. When final siren rangafter 34 and a half minutes it must have soundedlike opera to the exhausted Hampton Roversplayers.

PPRREEVVIIEEWWRed Legs to end Hampton Rovers good run.Bloods to continue the misery for Carey.Monders to bounce back at the Graveyard.SKOB to enjoy their return to the Rat Cage.Snowdogs at the Pit.

RREEVVIIEEWWMore upsets, more drama and more Banga Harvey.Round 5 saw both unbeaten teams have theircolours lowered while the three teams who hadpreviously won 1 game all saluted. B grade isproving to be the most even, most exciting & mostdynamic section in the Amateurs. (With probably thebest scribe to boot!!!)

In the match of the day OMs put in a commandingdisplay to keep their unbeaten home record intactand take top spot. Bad kicking in front on the bigsticks from the premiership favourites kept the Dogsin the game until the long break. After that it wasone way traffic, 16 shots on goal in the second halftells the story of a 1 sided affair. The Freezer wasagain OM’s best and JJiimmmmyy BBeeaauummoonntt chimed inwith 4 majors. Veterans BBeennnnyy JJoorrddaann and DDuuttcchhyyHHooll llaanndd held up their end for Bernards.

In Parkville, Blacks recorded a strong win to keepthem in the 4 at the expense of a gallant Mondersoutfit. In a game that came down to the last quarterit was the Uni youngsters who really stood up to becounted. HHuugghhyy SSyymmoonn and “St” Bede MMaahhoonn playedwith flair and a fearless attack on the ball. “Robin of”LLooxxeellyy sealed the game with a running 50m sausageto cap another outstanding game. Ormond was wellserviced by the age defying big fella MMaatttt MMccCCoonnvvii ll ll;JJuussttiinn HHooggggaann provided some silk.

Mark Twain once remarked “rumours of my demiseare much exaggerated”; and so it proved for OldTrinity. One week after this pundit stated that the“wheels have fallen off” the T’s bounced back toclaim the scalp of the injury riddled Old Carey. Forthe only winless team in the comp, the game startedpromisingly, kicking the first 3 goals of the match.Unfortunately for OC it was all their cross road rivalsfor the next 2 ½ quarters. Trinity by 3 at 3 quarter.Led by emerging VAFA superstar RReeiidd, Carey kicked

“Your Coaches’ Association”

“Leadership: The capacity and will to rally people toa common purpose together with the character thatinspires confidence and trust.” – Field MarshallMontgomery.

“Leadership in football: it is just about impossible todescribe in one sentence, yet it is the one singlefactor that, if missing, is a guaranteed recipe forfailure. Essentially, good leadership is setting theright example in everything you do. On and off thefield. At football and in private life. At home, at workand at play.” – Michael Voss

“You do not lead by hitting people over the head -that's assault, not leadership” – Dwight Eisenhower

Leadership is and has been a traditional institution inall forms of life. A leader is required to represent thecore values of a club. They need not be the bestplayer in a team as leadership covers far moreboundaries than playing ability alone. The commontrend in modern football is the have a “leadershipgroup” who are bastions of the established values ofa club both on and off the field. A leadership group will be as good as you let it. Themore say and power you give them in consultationwith the President and the Coach, the more effectivethey can be. The reality is the leaders are the matesof the “majority group” in football clubs, that beingthe players. Peer pressure is one of the biggestinfluences on young lives and the more positive thepeer pressure, the better the outcome. Therefore, ifwe were to give the players more opportunity toexpress their ideas in regards to the behaviours theyexpect, then they can introduce and support themwith their actions. If the players have ownership ofthe team values, then they should also implementand assess their effectiveness in terms of the team.

This can mean individual feedback to players inregards to strengths and weaknesses they offer theteam from the team. A player can often say that a personality conflict witha coach or selection panel is the reason for theirdemotion or perceived lack of opportunities.However; when the playing group can honestly saythat the player needs to improve in a certain area, itcan have a far greater impact and make it difficult forthe player to search for an excuse.Inevitably we are developing many leaders in a club,who have a vested interest in what the club portrayson and off the field. The leadership filters down theentire group so that at any given time you can relyon a number of players to put their hand up and becounted. This requires and enormous amount ofcourage and direction by the coach and matchcommittee. Instead of leading, the coach nowdirects in consultation with the players and thisconsultation can be to do with anything he wishes.Training, planning and game style can all havehonest and constructive input from the players andthis engagement will have rewards with a greaterlevel of ownership. Honest feedback onimplementation and selection can also achievegreater player engagement.Hopefully, if you whole list has ownership over thevalues and direction of your club and team, then wein fact have 22 leaders on the field who will allprovide the some form of leadership whichcontribute to the common goal. Having a team ofleaders, rather than just one provides a moreconducive environment for the development offuture leaders whilst obtaining the most thosecurrently fulfilling those roles

Edging ahead early, MHSOBfound a way to plug theforward threat of SSccoottttGGoowweerr with AAnnddrreeww ““ TThheeGGlloovvee”” VVii llllaannii keeping aclose check on the section’sglamour full-forward. A twogoal buffer at orange time to the Unicorns still had thegame truly in the balance but with skipper LLaacchhiiee MMEEvvaannss popping a 60 metre drop punt into the Yarra earlyin the last, MHSOB got right on top late to runway withan entertaining 38 point win. RRoobb ““RRoovveerr”” CCaatthhccaarrtt wasagain best for the Sharks but those around him need tolift if the Sharks are to avoid back to back losses with amonster game against Mazenod this week.Finally, we trek over to TTeedd AAjjaannii where the winlessBullants looked to kick off their 2009 season with a homewin against Oakleigh. Aided by an Eastern Freewaynorth-westerly, Bulleen-Templestowe found themselvesthree goals in front at quarter time with MMaarrkk PPiieettrryykkracking up possessions. From there on, a mixture ofsuperior class and forward dynamo Trevor Bromely sawthe Krushers pile on seventeen goals to the Bullants sixas they sailed away to a 43 point victory. GGaarryy BBeennnneettttwas instrumental for Oakleigh as they kept in touch withthe Top 4 while it is back the drawing board for theBulleen-Templestowe hierarchy.

PPRREEVVIIEEWWMMaazzeennoodd (($$11..6600)) vv BBeeaauummaarriiss (($$22..3300)):: Key game forthe Sharks here as a loss could signal a drop out of theTop 4 and you couldn’t think of a worse road trip thenout to Central Reserve. Mazenod are a high class teamand with forwards like Bogar and Jayaweera, they havetoo much polish and artillery for Beaumaris who rely onsole lynchpin Scott Gower. Mazenod by three goals.MMoonnaasshh BBlluueess (($$11..9900)) vv OOlldd GGeeeelloonngg (($$11..9900)):: 9thversus 8th doesn’t normally whet the football appetitebut make no mistake, this game is pushing for match ofthe round honours. Winless in 2009, Monash have facedthe top teams so far but at home to C Sectionnewcomers Old Geelong, they need to get a four pointeron the board. More desperate, I’ll stick with the hometeam.BBuulllleeeenn--TTeemmpplleessttoowwee (($$99..0000)) vv AAjjaaxx (($$11..0044)):: A win forBulleen-Templestowe at the moment is about as hard asgetting a reservation at Dorsia. Unable to continuemomentum after the quarter time break, they leak goalslike a sieve and against highly-skilled Ajax; they arestaring a walloping right in the eyes here. Ajax by plentyfor the second week in a row and Fayman to kick 8+.

PPaarrkkddaallee VVuullttuurreess (($$22..5500)) vv MMHHSSOOBB (($$11..4400)):: Down theNepean, the Vultures are in an early season freefall and aUnicorns team fresh of a confidence building win over apowerhouse team in Beaumaris, is not an idealproposition. Gigantic ruckman RRooggeerr MMccIInnttyyrree is the keyand with his 200cm+ frame gifting MHSOB first use ofthe pill, they should sew up three straight wins.OOaakklleeiigghh (($$33..0000)) vv CCaauullffiieelldd GGrraammmmaarriiaannss (($$11..3333))::Oakleigh disposed of Bulleen Templestowe but Caulfieldannihilated them by 137 points more and sitting on top,they command all the money wagered on this match.Forward ace SSlleevviissoonn has climbed to the top of the goal-kickers leaderboard and Gehrig or no Gehrig, theyshould remain unbeaten after Round Six. The Fields bysix goals.

Caulfield drew first blood at home when they handedMazenod their first loss of the season to remainunbeaten and with rumours abound of dual ColemanMedallist Fraser Gehrig keen to pull on the blue andwhite jumper, they assume flag favouritism.

AARROOUUNNDD TTHHEE GGRROOUUNNDDSSTo the Racecourse firstly, with the top of the table clashbetween the Fields and the Nodders causing all sorts oftraffic mayhem around the Caulfield area, the canteeneven selling out of meat pies before the main game hadbegun at 2.00pm (Pies the New York Matinee had called"a playful but mysterious little dish"). A shootoutprevailed early with DDaarrccyy DDaallyy’’ss run for Caulfieldallowing it to go into half time 18 points ahead. Thepremiership quarter proved the turning point with thehome team aided by sharpshooter AAnnddrreeww SSlleevviissoonnslamming on eight goals to three, ending the game as acontest. The Price brothers continued to shine asCaulfield humbled Mazenod by 35 points, to take theearly honours in what promises to be the Geelong versusSt Kilda version of rivalry for C Section 2009. By the Yarra, the Vultures travelled to Old Geelong light,missing the hulking presence of DDaarrrreenn RRoocchhffoorrdd.Unable to handle the massive expanses of Como Park,Parkdale were behind the eight ball all day as the midfieldbrigade of LLoonngg and SSuutthheerrllaanndd were providing TTiimmBBaayylleess with supreme delivery. At the other end, MMaatttthheewwBBoollaanndd was made to do it tough as the Como Boys easedearly relegation talk with a professional 21 point victory.Old Vultures stalwart TToonnyy MMaaccGGeeoorrggee defied age andarthritis with another sterling effort from centre half-back. The Vultures need to regroup and avoid thedreaded ‘R’ word being mentioned down at Gerry Green.Next to the Albert Park lake, and Ajax were pleased toreturn to home surroundings after failing to swim whenheld goalless the week prior by Beaumaris in the secondhalf at Shark Park. Spurred on by the Jackas faithful,long locks Isrealsohn was showing his renowned polishoff the half back line and with young star DDaavviidd FFaayymmaannon fire early, Ajax opened up a six goal lead at quartertime. Monash Blues responded with six goals in thesecond quarter to narrow the deficit but after the mainbreak, classy JJeerreemmyy DDuukkeess started to swalloweverything in the defensive fifty, with his good workcomplimented by freakish FFaayymmaann who ended up witheight majors. A fifth straight loss was the story of the dayas Monash went home empty handed, on the end of a 72point hiding.Over to Chapel Street, the Unicorns hosted theundefeated Sharks on the famous postage stamp oval.

In an era where playing for money can bemore attractive than lining up with your mates, to havea player with Brick’s talent commit his footy career toan Amateur club gives an insight to the quality of hischaracter. Four State Representative jumpers, threesenior B&F’s (one in A Grade), one Albon/Betherasaward and a Premiership Flag suggest something else.That he’s a champion player. Well done Brick. Today we congratulate AAddaamm CCaattlliinn for becoming thethird BBeeaauummaarriiss footballer to play his 220000tthh VVAAFFAAggaammee.

who responded “that’s truly remarkable given that GeoffReilly bloke usually only writes about games that Xavslost!”

Other family affiliations brought to our attention recentlyare the Waldrons at Monash Blues, where Justin,Brendan and Lee all play in the seniors, but only if theyare good boys at home and remember to make theirbeds. (Dad is coach!).

The Taylors are prominent at Werribee (cheap suitsanyone?) with Aaron, Alex Andrew and Matt Taylor allsenior players.………………………………………………………

FINGER ON THE BUTTONThings were looking grim for the Haileybury U19s.Leading by eight goals at half-time, their lead hadslipped to three goals at the last change as Mazenodcame storming back. Three goals to the Bloodsstemmed the tide but again the Nodders came with fiveof their own. On the time clock, a tense Brett Steenholdtglanced back and forth at the clock, then the scoreboard– 5 points up, two minutes left. Such was hisconcentration that he was slow to notice his young son,who had been kicking the footy behind him had arrivedalongside him. When he did spy him, Junior was alreadyringing the bell to signal the game’s end. The Mazenodteam slumped, only to learn when an embarrassed Bretttook the field, that they had another shot. Alas for thevisitors, the remaining minutes were scoreless.………………………………………………………

TOPIC FOR DEBATE: THAT THREE UMPS ARE BETTERTHAN TWOHistory was created in the VAFA when the 3 umpiresystem was trialled in the Xavs-Brighton A Section gamelast Sunday. Umpires guru Benny Goodman was like anexpectant father as the trio marched to middle to beginthe game and watched their positioning and decision-making throughout the afternoon. The system will beutilized at all Sunday games at Sportscover, with a viewto implementing it for the finals. Goodman says a greatbenefit in the system and would like to expand it if moreumpires can be recruited.………………………………………………………

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 3VAFA Board Member and new life member Bruce Iveyhas taken on the role of Sunday Ground Manager andwent to the umpires’ room to welcome the Reservesarbiters. “G’day, I’m Bruce Ivey,” said the genial giant. The umpire looked at him and said “Yeah, I know. Youbroke my nose thirty years ago.”“Geez, you can hold a grudge,” replied Ivey, who givenhis temporary slowness of foot due to a medical shoe,was probably glad that the umpy decided not to even thescore.Warming up alongside the field umpires was PeterGadsden, who ran the boundary for Old Brighton.Running the lines at Sportscover is a tough job,particularly in the higher sections where the ballmovement tends to be quicker. His performance wasespecially meritorious given that he had been a fieldumpire the day before. A big effort for a man half hisage! After the main game, Gaddy not surprisinglyheaded home for a bath and a bottle of red. ………………………………………………………

DINING AROUND WITH TOMMY BRAINThe VAFA’s Tommy Brain puts in the long miles eachweek in his role of League Lunchguy and this weekswung the turbo-charged high performance modifiedExcel into Trinity.Half an hour later and on his second lemon squash, hewas asked to fill in as guest speaker. Tommy, a greatcompany man, was happy to comply and scanned thecrowd before deciding on the appropriate oration.However, once on his feet, the Trinity President, DysonHore-Lacy QC also rose and began his questions. Manyhave wilted under pressure from this eminent counsel,but the blond baritone assures all that he handled thecross-examination with aplomb. “If I was a crook, Iwould have got off,” he told FTLOTG.………………………………………………………

FAMILY AFFAIRSThe VAFA is, among other things family football. Manyfathers of current players also played in the Ammos, butit is rare that father and son feature in the same“Looking Back” column. In R4, the 5 years ago piecenamed Rich Carey as best for Xavs in their win overOMs, while the 40 years ago piece named Phil Carey, hisfather, as among the best for a losing St Kilda CBC. Dadproudly pointed this out to a fellow Xaverian watcher

Rupo should get the job donehere although Aquinas at home is always a hard task.Rupertswood by 32 points.Grand Final re - match from 2008 will see Werribeetravel to Bennettswood to tackle a St Leos side who arenot only desperate for four points but eager to gainsome respect back from the Tigers. Werribee are aprofessional outfit and should get the task done. Tigersby 22 points.South Melb dist host the Panthers with both sidesdesperate to break away and establish themselves nearthe four. South Melb has a fantastic record at home andwill prove hard to beat. Districts by 17 points.Prahran host NOBs at Toorak Park and should be full ofconfidence after their first victory in 09. Although the bigground will suit NOBs, I’m going to stick with the homeside. Prahran by 8 points in a tight low scoring one.Big Danger game for Fitzroy sees them travel out east tomeet Whitefriars. Another close one here and the homeground advantage again may prove the difference.Without any confidence, Whitefriars by 3 points.

RROOUUNNDD FFIIVVEE RREEVVIIEEWWWerribee traveled to Gillon Oval up against a NOB/SPside that is always hard to beat on their home turf.Werribee got off to a great start with four un – answeredgoals against the breeze before NOBs pegged them backand managed to stay with the Tigers to be 18 pointsdown at the main break. With the use of handy wind inthe 3rd quarter the Old Boys could only manage asolitary goal leaving Werribee with a 4 goal lead and thebreeze coming home. The Tigers continued on for a 10goal win leaving them with a hold on second spot. Paceydynamo CCaamm LLeeee returned to form with 7 goals, AAaarroonnTTaallyyoorr continued his grand start to the year, with MMaattttDDeeaann and DDaarrrreenn MMoorrrriisshh also performing well.

For the FriarsCale Smith had one of his better hitouts for 09.The Districts traveled to Sunbury to take on theundefeated Rupertswood. Full of confidence afterwinning their last two on the trot South came out firingwith a 6 goal to 3 first term. The strong southerly hadplenty to say in the 2nd with Rupo kicking 6 goals to zipto go in 3 goals up at the half.

UMPIRES CORNERby Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallagher

TThhee TTiimmee iiss ccoommiinnggJust around the corner is the prelude to finalsappointments, “the half yearly appointments torepresentative games.” The umpires, who get thesegames, are at the moment on top of their owngames; however that’s unless the coaches pull arabbit out of their collective hats just to keep thegroup guessing. Guys, look forward to seeing thosecoaches behind trees or away from the crowd atyour games in the next few weeks. It’s always agood form guide to see who will get the big gamesin September. Speaking of September, it’s highlylikely that we will see the three-umpire system inoperation during the A & B finals. Will certainly helpthe game as a spectacle and also give a few extraumpires those big appointment opportunities.

HHuurrrryy BBaacckkLast week we wrote about PPeetteerr ((AAuuttuummnn LLeeaavveess))AAnnggeell iiss falling over three times in a game, well PPeetteerocked to training with a neck brace on and with thepossibility of not umpiring for a very long time. Wewish him well in his recovery, and hope to see himback on the before the end of the year. No doubthe’ll be sadly missed at the poker table as well.

SSeennii llee??A couple of our more aged umpires ran together lastweek in PPeetteerr TTeeaassddaa llee and PPaauull JJoonneess atSt.Francis Xavier in Beaconsfield. At the end of thegame when all the paperwork was completed, PPaauullput it all together and placed it into PPeetteerr’’ss folderready for delivery to the VAFA. On arrival atElsternwick Park on Saturday night PPeetteerr askedPPaauull where was the paperwork? Answer: “in yourfolder!” No paperwork was in PPeetteerr’’ss folder, aftersome hurried investigation and detective work, theonly other folder in the umpires room was theSt.Francis Xavier team folder, which was back inBeaconsfield. Hope it arrived on time by Monday,boys. And we tell the young ones’ to get it right!!

The cream has risen quickly to the top this season, as apotential top four sits atop the ladder after five rounds. OldWestbourne and Eltham may have a genuine dispute to thisclaim, but have their work cut out to prove otherwise. Theladder is stabilizing and there are ominous signs for YarraValley and Glen Eira, who remain winless despite their bestefforts. It is up to the mid-range teams to shake it up a littlebit, and Eltham gets its chance again this week out atPeninsula.Eltham came off a great win against Williamstown only tolose to Banyule last weekend in disappointing fashion.Eltham college may be a fortress for them, but they need tolearn to travel, especially if they hope to defeat Peninsulathis week. Eltham dropped away after the first quarter, keptin the game only by some Banyule inaccuracy in thesecond. Despite SShhaannee MMaahheerr and HHaayyddeenn DDiill lloonnss bestefforts, Banyule were just too good on the day. Four goalsapiece from DDaavviidd DDrraappaacc and PPeetteerr JJeennkkiinn helpedBanyule on their way to a victory which was by no meansa foregone conclusion. This week will be a good challengefor Banyule, facing off against the top team, who wereactually unconvincing last week.

Therry Penola defeated OldParadians last Saturday, bothsides labored hard all gamebut Therry's superior first halfproved the difference in theend. The usual culpritsimpressed for Therry, onballersMMaarrkk TTssiittoonnaakkiiss and GGaarreetthh RReeeess were solid, with DDaannMMaaddddeenn on the wing providing plenty of run. CCoorreeyyBBaannnniisstteerr had a quiet day out with just four goals. OldParadians are certainly not out of the finals race, and werecompetitive on the weekend against a stronger side. TheParadians need to put away Glen Eira early this weekend toput their season on track, and so as not to give the saintsa sniff.Glen Eira are edging closer to a win, playing a good gameof football on the weekend, and kicking what would oftenbe a winning score. Unfortunately for the Sainters theywere unable to repress the goal scorers from OldWestbourne, who eventually ran away victors by fourteenpoints. Glen Eira came home strongly with the breeze, buthad set themselves too difficult a task in the end.

Westbourne played some smart footy to boot three goalsinto a healthy zephyr in the last. Westbourne should winthis week, however Yarra Valley are well overdue for a win.Yarra Valley were unable to compete with a Williamstownside back to their best on Saturday, behind by 65 points atthe finish. Still smarting from its embarrassing defeat at thehands of Eltham the week before, a more focusedWilliamstown got away to a great start to lead by 27 pointsat the first break. Dominating possession through theirgood work at the centre breaks and scrimmages,Williamstown continually had the Yarra Valley defenceunder siege and by the half time break the CY’s had welland truly broken the game open to lead by a commanding48 points. With both sides tiring and with the cross windstill quite strong, the game deteriorated into a scrappy, stopstart affair during the last term. A couple of late goalsallowed Yarra Valley to outscore the visitors for the quarter,reducing the final margin slightly, but they still left theground beaten soundly by the Williamstown. The CY’s hada lot of good players, but none contributed more thanmercurial small forward SStteevvee BBaarrllooww who lead the YarraValley defence on merry dance all day, finishing with a bagof 8 goals. JJuulliiaann HHaattffiieelldd was spurred on by criticism ofthe CY’s midfield effort the week prior, he lead a dominanton ball brigade with his hard tackling and committedrunning from the centre. Williamstown will beat Ivanhoethis week at home.The “Hoes” were simply not good enough againstPeninsula on the weekend, who bounced back well after aheartbreaking blockbuster against Therry Penola. JJaammeessCCoogghhllaann kicked eight goals for Peninsula, ensuring a returnto the winners list with the help of brother WWiillll, andTThhoommaass RReeeess who continues a stella season. HostingEltham this week should not prove too much trouble forPeninsula.

10 YEARS AGO– 1999

In E Blue Section, thematch of the day wasbetween MonashGryphons andSalesian at EastCaulfield. Salesian failed to make the most of theiropportunities in front of goal early and the twoleading goal kickers in E Blue, Gilchrist (Monash)and Thain (Salesian) looked dangerous. At the endof the day, the Gryphon’s Tim Gilchrist (5) hadthe advantage of team mate Killmister (5) forsupport while Thain’s 5 goals was a lone effort.Best players – Killmister, Grady, Watson, Wells,G McCormick, Bourbon (Monash Gryphons) andGrace, Sutherland, Thain, Stevens, Wiseman(Salesians).

In E White Section, the third side, Williamstown,hosted top of the tree, University Blacks, and thegame became a very low scoring affair. The Blackswere goalless at half time although Willy had onlyscored three goals. Uni continued to kick poorly infront of the sticks with a final score inWilliamstown’s favour, 6.7 to 2.12. Best players –Wouda (4), Hart, Jacobs, Cocks, Soccoccio,Williams (Williamstown) and R Mackie, S Smith,J Toose, Neville, Darroch, Pekin (Uni Blacks).

In F Section, ladder leaders Old Westbourneremained the only undefeated team and put paid tofifth placed Werribee Amateurs who had their eyeon a place in the top four. Westbourne dominatedthe match almost from the opening bounce and thefinal score had them 25.14 to 3.6; an embarrassingdefeat for the Werribee boys. Best players –Leitch, Mutimer, A Horsborough (4), Board,Crosswell (8), Craig (Westbourne) and G Shelley,Addamo, Pisak, Edwards, Towers, Gibson(Werribee).

20 YEARS AGO – 1989What a round in E Section! Close scores in mostgames, the odd upset and a few headachesdeveloping for middle order teams. The clash ofthe day saw West Brunswick hold on against OldGeelong to win by 3 points. These two teams werenow second and fourth respectively and separated

5 YEARS AGO – 2004Ivanhoe/Assumption returned to the top four inD2 Section with a strong performance at WestBrunswick’s expense. There was not a lot in it athalf time but the Westies had some ground tomake up. Although they did reduce the deficitslightly to 11 points at three quarter time it was allIvanhoe/Assumption in the last with DoniValkanis the real difference. West Brunswick hadnow dropped off the pace in terms of top four andhad become a member club of the bottom four!Best players – Icefo, Morris, Rawley, Blayney,Valkanis (5), Wood (Ivanhoe/Assumption) andLeahy, Coonan, S Benjamin, Maguire, Cannane(West Brunswick).

Oakleigh disposed of Mount Lilydale in D3Section to take hold of second place on the ladder.It had not gone all Oakleigh’s way in the first halfhowever as the Mountain men leveled the scores.Led by skipper Bromley off half back in thesecond half, including his “goal of the year”,Oakleigh went into top gear in the third term with6.12 for the quarter to 2.2. The shooting for goalwas far more productive by the Krushers in thelast quarter (7.3) as they coasted to a convincingvictory 19.24 to 11.6. Best players – Britt,Bromley, Treacy, Collins, Furnell (3), K Holden(Oakleigh) and Kellett, Hansford, Cunningham,Leonard, Cartens (Mount Lilydale).

In D4 Section, the gap widened between the topfour and the rest and Elsternwick staked theirclaim for one of the top two spots afterobliterating Box Hill North, 27.20 to 9.5. Aftersomewhat of a sluggish start in the openingquarter it rained goals and the combination Scottand David Grace plus Justin Hunter, whokicked 17 goals between them, enabledElsternwick to build their percentage. Bestplayers – C Mahoney, S Grace (7), Hunter (6), SMahoney, D Grace (4), Cummins (Elsternwick)and Odza (4), Ball, Olsen, Doyle, Keillor, Thoi(Box Hill North).

Field Umpire, Geoff Curran, achieved his 300thgame and counted the camaraderie of his fellowumps as the highlights of his VAFA career. Geoffhad also spent 4 seasons with the VFL U19competition.

40 YEARS AGO – 1969In E Section, Old Mentonians kept in touch with topspot after the easily accounted for ES&A Bank, 13.16to 5.14. Mentonians had control of the game by halftime and were never threatened after that. Best players– Bungey, Bolton (4), Page (5), Ingram, Pearson,McKinley (Mentonians) and Westcott (3), Burgess,Robinson, Kirby, Kelly (ES&A). For the youngerreaders, ES&A stood for the English, Scottish andAustralian Bank who merged with the ANZ Bank in1970 - GR

In Junior Section 1, the two top teams, Universityand Ormond easily won their respective games. Unidemolished AJAX 25.29 to 1.6 and almost everyonewas among the goals with Pitt (8) and Martini (5) themain scorers. Ormond also registered an easy win overMonash Uni 12.17 to 3.4 with Beacom (4) their majorgoal kicker.

Alan MacKenzie achieved his 150th game forHampton Rovers and team mate Geoff Grimmer his100th. Both players had given great service both onand off the field for the Rovers. Two Fairfield boysreached their ton in Tommy Zerella and ArthurStanley Wing.

Old Haileybury certainly had a “brotherly” look aboutthem boasting no less than 5 sets of brothers – Rod andAndy Home, Bruce and Andy Langford-Jones,Garry and Phil Marshall, Peter and KeithMacFarlane and Peter and John McCready.

50 YEARS AGO – 1959After a good start, bottom placed A Section club,Ivanhoe, failed against a dashing University Bluesoutfit. Ivanhoe, with the backing of a slight breeze,scored the first goal and although the Blue respondedwith two quick majors, Ivanhoe held a 17 point lead atquarter time. In the second quarter, the students’ ruckdivision got on top and provided the drive needed topressure the Ivanhoe defence. Peter Rush and Hickeywere both prominent for the Blues, each scored 2 goalsfor the term and their lead at half time was 17 points.Following an even third quarter, the Blues withaccurate passing and clever play all around the groundkept the ‘Hoers scoreless – final score 14.11 to 7.3.Best players – Pascore, W Rush, Northey, Hayden,Smith, Read (Blues) and Manuel, Burt, Jeeves,Aldred, O’Brien, Mumford (Ivanhoe).

Neil Stubbs, Footscray Tech Old Boy’s Vice-Captain recorded his 100th game. Neil had joined theFTOB’s Junior when only 17 years of age and the clublooked forward to his next 100 games.

by both 4 points plus a healthy percentagedifference. There was never more than 2 goals inthe match and it certainly went down to the wire.Best players – Bargiamidas, Campagna, Cecchi(3), Johnstone, S Lampard, N Magaas (WestBrunswick) and Burn, Munnings, Harwood,Burgess Twigg, Alexander (Old Geelong).

In F Section, undefeated Mazenod Old Collegiansdid not have it all their own way against WaverleyAmateurs, 13.8 to 10.8. Down 4 goals at half timeit was a courageous effort by Waverly to close thegap against the top team. Best players – McMullin,Smith, T Chilcott, Hall, Robinson, Riley(Mazenod) and Caygill, Burghardt, Lawler,Darvell, Dunstan, Dupuy (Waverley).

30 YEARS AGO – 1979In C Section, St Kevins Old Boys continued ontheir merry way and after earning promotion fromD Section, appeared to be more than comfortablewith the higher section. It was a great game againstGeelong with the lead changing a number of timesearly before SKOBS took a two point lead into thehalf time break. Geelong continued to throweverything at their opponents but could not gettheir noses in front with SKOBS eventuallysuccessful by 9 points and sharing undefeatedstatus with Kew. Best players – Corredig, Olle,Lalor, B Campbell (6), Day (SKOBS) and Bullen,Nielson, Taylor, Birrell, Paulke, Mulligan(Geelong).

In D Section, in the battle of the Titans, BulleenTemplestowe travelled to Melbourne High Schoolwith top place the prize for the winners. Thecombine played to their best and by half time hadopened up 25 point lead with Clark and Quaifecausing plenty of problems for the Melbourne Highdefence. After half time, MHSOB got into top gearwith Martin and Cooper placing appropriatepressure on Bullen Temp’s defence and in anexcellent second half of footy, the High Schoollads hung on to win 20.18 to 19.17. Both teamswere expected to feature at finals’ time if thisperformance was anything to go by. Best players –Tennant, Martin (7), Cooper (7), Pappas, Taylor,Delaney (MHSOB) and Gilmore, Clark (7),Graham, Kelly, Ling, Miles (BulleenTemplestowe).

Kevin “Crackers” Clarke, Parkisde’s popularTreasurer, played his 250th game. Still a regularsenior player and a former B&F in the seniors, itwas hoped that “Crackers” would continue to theRed Devils for some time yet.

at home they are always adifficult opponent. As it turnedout all four quarters here wereepic. A two and a half goalGryphon lead at half time wasslowly whittled away by St Johns who won much of thecontested ball in the final term and converted theiropportunities more effectively. For the away side, LLeeeeWWeellllss was back to his best in defence, CClliinntt MMaacckkiieeproduced his own sherrin on the wing and LLeeiigghhDDoooolleeyy was played well up forward. BBeenn PPiicckkeerriinngg putup his hand for a competition leader with a stellarperformance and DDaammiieenn NNiieellsseenn made a great seniordebut bagging three majors. Both sides here havesome quality but need to be ruthless the whole game ifthey want to play some September football. I did mention round five was big for some teams, andElsternwick and Uni High were the two I had in mind.The ‘Wicks had not been bad at all thus far, but theirtalented list was perhaps teasing us a bit in regards towhere to best place them. A contender ? A pretender ?The team sheet showed a couple of debutants butotherwise a really really strong side for them who needto come to Brens oval to get down to business. Andlike DDaarrrreenn CCllaarrkk all those years ago (remember 1990in Auckland) that business was completed in fine stylestriding away to a great away win. NNaatthhaann HHooddggkkiissssand DDaavviidd GGrraaccee were beating their key opponents andboth went on to be the best two players for the day, theformer is having a great 2009. DDaavvee SSmmiitthh was greatat full forward with Hunter in absentia, and he helpedthe final margin get out to almost ten goals. Not surewhere to now for Uni High. I think they lack class intheir bottom dozen or so players and although the twowins looks way ahead of, say the Hawks, they may bein the bottom two soon. Elsternwick simply must goon from this dominant win.A grand game was played out at McAliser Oval with theMagpies hosting St Mary’s Salesian. West Brunswickcame up against another fancied opponent and againshowed they could match it with the best sides forperiods of games – but once again were unable tosustain the pressure for four quarters. This week, apoor first quarter-and-a-half cost West Brunswick thematch. From the mid-point of the second term, thehome side wrestled back some momentum andoutscored St Mary’s in the second half. TThhoommppssoonn andGGrriieevveess were best for the West while St Mary’sSalesian continued their great form through theAArrmmssttrroonnggss and young JJaacckk FFiisshheerr.

TTIIPPSS –– St Mary’s host St Francis Xavier in 2009’s firstblockbuster game! The away side here finally get a bigtest and I think they may stumble but only at the finalhurdle. Home side by 14 points. Bentleigh look to seekredemption at home and should account for Monash bythree goals whilst St Johns can inflict a bit of pain toUniversity High by a solid margin. Then we have somebig games of the Round. Powerhouse playing at homemust translate their form to Ross Gregory. They canjust fall in against West Brunswick but this will be on allday and the margin under a kick. And then in thebiggest game of the year for Hawthorn they hostElsternwick. The visitors have a poor recent Rathminesrecord. For that reason I am tipping the Hawks who cannot afford anything less than four points . . . .

Quick. To the time machine. Marty set the year for1996. Round 5. Old Xaverians were the glamour clubof the VAFA and celebrated just their first win of theseason. Not great when you are a dominant flagfavourite in A Grade. However that away win probablysaved their season and ultimately lead them to anotherflag in the 1990’s. In round 5 The Hawks needed a good result at StFrancis Xavier. And we always say a win is a goodresult but this week was more for them just to fightand scrap all day and ensure at days end they walkaway with heads high. Mission accomplished ? I thinkso. Firstly they had a very good win in the Reservesand in the Seniors were able to score all day for thefirst time this year. Their opponents are white hot andhave been ultra impressive at home. I am a fan of thenames here like LLeennddeerrss,, DDiimmaakkooppoolloouuss and PPaabbssttwho at times have shown they are well above thissection we play in. Well above. The second termproved the difference here in the result but with theright names appearing for the brown and gold likeCCoolllliinnss and PPrrii ttcchhaarrdd, they get to go home with somebelief that they are a serious player and will be anissue for sides for the remainder of 2009. The X Menwould not have dreamt of a five zip start so must nowbe very happy. I went to Bentleigh not sure what to expect from thevisiting side in Powerhouse. Their depth is beingtested by injuries and I felt the fast track might not suitthem, particularly when the likes of JJaammeess RRoobbeerrttssoonnfront up. Well the time machine was in action againhere but for the Piranhas with both PPaauull EEddwwaarrddss andthe former Monash Blue NNaatthhaann MMoorreessii playing likethey did in the early 2000’s. They were excellent all dayand never allowed CChhrriiss SShhaarrpp much room in theBentleigh forward line. IIllyyaa FFrriiddmmaann started well alongwith the speedy Wills but I thought as the contest wentlonger their influence petered out and were below theirbest. DDaarrrreenn BBaakkeerr was exceptional in the second andthird term for the ‘House and he was everywhere withan unlikely hero in FFrraannkk MMaaccaakk who loved the ‘one onone’ contest all day. This was a bit old school fromPowerhouse but it proves again when they are fiercethey can be very effective. Coach CCooooppeerr must be veryhappy. Serious injuries to Boland and Burnsideprobably accentuated the effort here if anything. The Gryphons started 2009 with a Batman like ‘pow’,but since then it’s been slim pickings for them. Thisappeared to be a daunting road trip down the MonashFreeway to Doveton. The Joc’s form has been good and

Chris joined Haileybury in 2007 after playing his junior football at St Peters. A very likeableyoung man, he has gained enormous respect from the faithful since he walked into McKinnon.After playing the U/19’s in his first year, Chris burst onto the scene playing his first senior gameround six in 2008. Since then he has become a permanent fixture in the Haileybury backline.Chris is a favorite with the OHAFC supporters due to his old fashioned style of play which canbe best described as a “straight at it half back” with a no nonsense approach.With more experience, Chris should develop into an elite midfielder in the VAFA competition foryears to come.Chris has been selected in the Victorian U21 squad for the upcoming clash with AFLQ U21.Congratulations, Chris.

Each and every club strives to recruit over the off-season. The priority is normally a mature age playeraged between twenty-five and thirty, who can make aninstant impact, and be the difference between winningand losing. We have seen several notable recruits thisyear, and in a few weeks we will look at some of these inmore detail. This week though we will look at a different sort of recruit; the ‘Rookie’.

A senior rookie can bring new enthusiasm to an outfit,an unbridled passion for football, that while raw, caninspire his team-mates, and bring a smile to even thesternest coach. They are the player that future recruitingcan be based around, and from whom hope can bedrawn from the depths of despair-as a Melbournesupporter I am all too familiar with this. In D4, with onlyLatrobe having an U19 side, younger players are at apremium and I asked clubs to nominate ‘Rising Stars’from their own ranks.

At South, Ben Williams, 18 yo, who plays on-ball anduses his raking left foot to set up many attacking forays,is a perfect example, with 15-20 senior games alreadyunder his belt, he is certainly a rising star of note.Waiting in the wings too is a seventeen year-old keyforward who kicked twelve in the twos on Saturday,BBrryyccee DDoowwlliinngg. With these two and several others,Tigers supporters can be assured that the future looksbright.

At Chadstone there have been a few promising signs inan otherwise tough start to the season. On SaturdayDDaanniieell AAllllssoopp, 19, was one of the best for the Synners.Playing across half forward, the lightly framed, lightningquick and appropriately named forward showed that hewill cause opposition sides plenty of headaches incoming weeks.

In a back pocket at Mount Lilydale, young Ram MMaaxxHHaammppttoonn, 18, is showing that he will be a very goodplayer for the mountain men. On Saturday he was in theRams best, and they are looking for him to develop intoa quality on-baller though he is spending most of histime at the moment down back.

At Richmond Central, with a slightly more mature list,RRyyaann CCaarrppeenntteerr, 23 is probably the best of their youngbrigade, and whilst slightly older than the standard‘Rising Star”, Ryan has been fantastic on a back flankfor the Snakes this year. Nth Brunswick, Latrobe, and

Bulleen Cobras are othersides that have some verygood youngsters runningaround, and I am sure wewill hear a few more namesfrom these sides in comingweeks.

Next week I would like to look at the other end of thespectrum and focus on a few of our veterans that arestill pulling on the boots in senior football, so invite allclubs to nominate over 35’s who still figure prominentlyat senior level.

Results on Saturday were all as predicted, with onlymargins surprising in some cases. Albert Parkcontinued on their merry way, despite missing a fewplayers including RRiicchhaarrdd BBaakkeerr. TToomm KKiinngg was a ‘forcemajeure’ for the Falcons, whilst BBiillllyy LLiimm was good allday for North. Latrobe also remained undefeated,crushing the Sharks. SSttuuaarrtt PPaatttteenn kicked another eightto add his name to the already crowded que lining up forsection goal-kicking honours. Speaking of leading goal-kickers, AAttttii llaa YYaammaann booted thirteen for theRazorbacks who had a comfortable victory despite theimpressive return of FFrraanncciiss VVaarrggaa up forward for theRams. DDaann HHaall ll iisseeyy worked hard for Chadstoneattempting to stem the tide, as the ‘new fish’ Daniel Pike,continually drove the ball inside fifty for the Snakes.With injuries to key defenders, the Synners had no hopeof stopping the rampant NNaatthhaann NNuusskkee who kickedanother ten goals. JJaarroodd KKoosscchhiittzzkkee proved more than ahandful for Manningham who started brightly, but fellbefore a second quarter Bear onslaught. WWaarrwwiicckk DDeeVVeerrcceellllii was tireless in the middle for the Cobras.SStteepphheenn HHaarrrriissoonn tried hard all day for the injury‘decimated’ Box Hill North, but to no avail as SouthMornington, led by SSaamm WWrriigghhtt, consolidated their topfour spot.

RROOUUNNDD 66 TTIIPPSSMMaattcchh ooff tthhee RRoouunnddSouth Mornington has the legs to challenge Latrobe andMCG no.2. They have shown this year that travel is notthe issue that it has been in the past and have a potentforward line. Latrobe relies on their skilled on-ballcontingent and will need to work hard to ensure PPaatttteenn,CCooffffeeyy and co. get enough opportunities to kick awinning score. I am going to take the easy option and gowith home ground advantage, just; UUnnii by 9 points.

Box Hill North have far too many out to threatenRichmond Central who are at the top of their game;SSnnaakkeess by 85 pts.

Manningham have the slightly better form-line despitesimilar results and should be favoured against theSynners, however a home win would not surprise;CCoobbrraass by 11 pts.

Mt Lilydale will need to be wary of North Brunswick,who will be desperate to notch up their first win, but theRams rarely lose at home, and I cannot see it happeninghere; RRaammss by 24pts.

Albert Park are too big, too quick and will be too strongfor the Sharks; FFaallccoonnss by 55 points.

Kew and Swinburne Uni play in the other contender formatch of the day status, and the performances of HHoorrnneeat one end, and YYaammaann at the other will be a delight tosee.

Under 18sby Joe Morsello

JJooeeyy’’ss JJaarrggoonnFive rounds into the season and the word on the streetfrom the most dedicated of Under 18 supporters (includingnone other than myself) is that there are only twocontenders for 09. One of which I gave a fair plug last weekwhich is probably why I didn’t receive an email from themabout this week’s performance, and the other is Oakleighwho with a full strength side are very tough to beat. I’msure all eyes will be on these two sides which do battle thisweek.

LLaasstt WWeeeekkThe Tigers hosted the Snow dogs at the Home of Footballand put the foot on the accelerator in the dewy conditionsthen just eased it up into cruise control after half time tosalute by 56 points, keeping St Bernard’s to 1 goal. TheSides of the Ship had his second BOG for the season in asolid performance. Other good contributors for the Tigerswere AArryy (2) and BBeeddffoorrdd (1). For St Bernards’, theSSuulllliivvaann siblings tried hard all day.I dubbed it match of the round and the low scoring contestwas just that, with UHS –VU hanging on for a 2 pointvictory against an Old Camberwell side yet to get off themark in 09. Mount Everist kept his good form in tact andwas best on for the hosts, with other good contributionsfrom KKeerrsshhaaww and HHaabbeell. For a desperate Camberwell sideJJoohhnnnnyy YYoouunngg tried his heart out with BBaarrrryy finding someleather.Northern Bullants got the job done against a disappointingTherry side by a cool 97 points. Therry were no doubtintimidated by a stronger outfit and unfortunately for themdidn’t really fire a shot. Better players for the Bullants wereKKyynniiggooppoouullooss (4), DDaall SSaannttoo continuing his form, andDDaallttoonn also playing some good footy. For Therry MMaattttJJoonneess was good down back, and JJaammiiee CCuurrrraann was morethan serviceable in the ruck.St Marys / Salesian pushed the pre verbial up hill from startto finish against a full strength Krushers. Luckily for theSaints the Oaks didn’t kick as straight as they would have

MMaarrcceelllliinn vvss OOlldd TTrriinniittyyMarcellin has found their mojoman. To go to Mentone andleave with four points is a hugebonus for any team and willgive The Eagles the kick in thebum they needed to startfiring. While OT are yet to findthat kicker as of yet this couldbe their week. Watch for theT’s to jump the Eagles earlyonly to be pipped late in thegame after a spirited Eaglecomeback. Marcellin by 2 or 3goals.

RRuuppeerrttsswwoooodd vvss DDee LLaa SSaalllleeDe La are back baby! Too early for that call mate, I hearyou say. Well, if De La are serious about this footy caperthen we should see them win this week, however, I’mnot so sure of it. I’ve heard about their VFL and TAClisted players but Rupo at Sunbury are tough to beat andwon’t drop this one out there. Rupo by 3 goals.

OOlldd XXaavvaarriiaannss vvss SStt BBeeddeess MMeennttoonnee TTiiggeerrssNot sure what this Xav’s team has to do to earn outrightfavoritism. Having beaten the 3 other sides sharing thetop 4 a win this week against last years champs shouldsee them settle into top spot comfortably. The Bedershave mis-fired on occasions this year but don’t for asecond think that will be the norm all year. SBMT willfind out where they’re at this week at me thinks, oncurrent form, a fair way behind the Black and Red. Xav’sby 5 goals.

48 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VV

RROOUUNNDD 55 RREEVVIIEEWWOut at Waverley Park Uni Blues were looking for winnumber two of season 2009 and things were all rosythrough the first quarter. Three goals to one put theParkville boys in command as the sides went for a sip atthe first interval. Whatever De La Coach John Edgar saidto his boys in the huddle obviously had the right effectas his charges came out and smashed in seven goals totwo in the second stanza to send Bling’s boys to thesheds at the half staggering but definitely not out for thecount. The third quarter dished up the sort of armwrestle purveyors of U19 footy love to watch. Hard at it,enthusiastic, no holds barred footy only players of thisquality can supply. Battle as the might the young Bluescould not hold the well polished De La Salle outfit all dayand after a very even third term The Gold’s kicked awayin the final quarter eventually running out 8 goalwinners. Better players for The Blue Baggers were HughVickers Willis and Jared Edwards, stand outs for TheGold and Blue were Ben Humphrey and Kieran Grant.Elsewhere, St Bedes Mentone Tigers were well out-played by an aggressive Marcellin outfit who cracked thegoose egg with a huge come from behind win downingthe home side to the tune of 5 goals. Beaumaris weretoo strong for the travelling Rupertswood boys and ranout comfortable winners at Banksia Reserve. Uni Blackschalked up win number 3 in a solid performance againstOld Trinity however there may be spot of goal kickingpractice at The Black’s training this week and in a tightone league leaders Old Xavs got the job done againstOld Scotch in a low scoring slugfest that saw the Claretand Stout 3 points up at the final siren.

RROOUUNNDD 66 PPRREEVVIIEEWWBBeeaauummaarriiss vvss OOlldd SSccoottcchhThe Sharks at home are travelling very well if you don’tmind umpire. Old Scotch have lost their last 2 and ifyou believe the goss are battling injury and a raid ontalent from their A section side. While I’d prefer notabout to jump on the Scotch doomsday wagon I’mthinking The Sharks at home are irresistible. Beauy by4 goals.

UUnnii BBlluueess vvss UUnnii BBllaacckkssBlack and Blue all over is the catch phrase in this one,if you spent your time in the science end of the schoolraise your hands for The Blues, Bachelors of the Artsget on Blacks. For the rest of us sayBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLacks by 3 goals.

A ripper game between Old Haileybury and Mazenodwent down to the wire as the Haileyburian's got up by 5points. A credit to the Nodders for showing some fightbut just lacked the class of an A. Johnston who booted7 and dominated throughout the day to set up amemorable victory.

Old Brighton did what was required over the w/e by justedging out a brave Collegians by a couple of straightkicks, As for De La Salle they enjoyed plenty ofrelaxation time on Saturday, as I believed the teamprobably whacked on the anchorman:Legend Of RonBurgandy DVD or perhaps an Adam Sandler classicwhilst enjoying a Bucket of the Kernals finest as theybelted the forfeit (Oakleigh).

PPrreevviieeww::Mazenod vs. De La Salle: De La to have enjoyed thebreak and to have solid 7 goal win this week. Caulfield v.s St Kevins: Both teams looking to bounceback, St Kevin's by 5 goals.Collegians vs. Old Haileybury: Collegians raring to gothis week, 2 goalsOld Melburnians vs. Old Brighton: Melburnians well 50+Oakleigh vs. Ormond: If Oakleigh get on the park thisweek they will regret it 100+

SSoouutthh 22RReevviieeww:: The Ashes were back on the winners list this week afterserving a 10 goal belting to the lads from Beauy. D.Brogden led from the front delivering plenty of footydown to T.Mackenzie who jagged 5.

Prahran put on a show this week by smashing thevultures with ease. J. Herbath and C. Trigellis-Smithwere great to watch but the main man was O. Hagenwho literally went to the Gold Coast Mango picking andback before any one could bring him to ground.

Ajax remain undefeated after doing the job on Bentleighas J. Lew slammed 4 through the sticks and plenty ofseed to M. Kaye & M. Selzer proved just a tad to strongfor the Bentleigh boys.

Hampton Rovers enjoyed listening to Bob Marley beforeand after the game this week as they literally walked allover a disappointing MHSOB. M. Innes kicked 8 (crafty)and N.(the Late Show) Fallon jagged 6 to lead the wayfor Rovers.

The Mentonians pre game music of choice this weekwas the Bee Gee's this week as they never got out of 1stgear against the Pirates. For the Tonians it was M.Myers-Snyders & S. O''Halloran that reaped the rewards

of hard work at both ends of the ground, TheMentonians also remain undefeated and looksensational.

PPrreevviieeww::Parkdale vs. Old Mentonians: Mentonians to whack 'TheVillage People" on before the game this week to marchon to another comfortable 70 point win.Beaumaris vs. Prahran: Prahran by 7 goalsMonash Blues vs. Hampton Rovers: Great game thisone.

flank, whilst Killworth added another 3 onto the seasontally.In my North 1 match of the round, Fitzroy got knockedoff in a nail bitter to St Bernards, going down by a point.Fitzroy led at every change, and would be kickingthemselves after dominating most of the play, but StBernards had the accuracy and got over the line 13.7.85to 12.12.84. Thomas Gleeson and Michael Sullivan aredominating for the Saints, named in the best all seasonfor St Bernards’ 19s and 18s.In the other match of the day, Manningham Sharks haveput two wins together, knocking off Bulleen Temp9.14.68 to 6.8.44. They bridged out to a 7 goal gap by 3Quarter Time, and a last quarter comeback wasn’tenough to knock over the Sharks, who now move onegame outside the 4. Daniel Di Bartolomeo and BenJenkins were named best on field for the Sharks.

RRoouunndd 55 RReevviieeww -- NNoorrtthh 22In the biggest upset of the year so far, Emmaus has gotup over potential premiers Therry, winning by 26 points.A 4 goal last quarter couldn’t do it for the Lions, andwith Peter Jones bagging 5 for the Saints, Emmaus ranout victors 14.10.94 to 10.8.68. Jones now leads thegoal kicking on 16 for the season. Hayden Farrelly had agood game for Therry, but the week off last week hasnot worked in their favour as Old Geelong take over topspot on the North 2 ladder.They continued their unbeaten run, smashing Old Xavsat home by 72 points. A 7 goal to zip first quartercrushed Old Xavs from the outset, and OG didn’t lookback kicking 16.19.115 to Old Xav’s 6.7.43. Rob Officerbooted another 4 for OG up forward, whilst TristanParker has been having a blinder of a season.An 8 goal bag from Aaron Lee has helped OldWestborne secure their 3rd win of the season over awinless Fitzroy. Lee was superb, as was SeanSchumacher who bagged 3 himself, in 109 point victory,the final scores 20.23.143 to 5.4.34. They findthemselves third on the ladder, and take on a lack lusterRupertswood team next week.And in the final match of the round, Ivanhoe have pickedup the pieces, smashing La Trobe by 68 points. KynanBorthwick put in another good effort infront of thesticks, kicking 4 for La Trobe. Phillip Cardys iscontinuing to score goals consistently, whilst ChrisKingsford played another blinder for Ivanhoe.

RRoouunndd 66 PPrreevviieeww -- NNoorrtthh 11Old Carey take on an inform Sharks outfit this Saturday,and although Manningham is playing some good footy,I reckon OC is playing even better. TIP: Old Carey by 42points.Old Camberwell face off against Bulleen Temp in whatwill be a one-sided shellacking, with Sam Killworth to

kick 10! Don’t expect an upset here. TIP: OldCamberwell by plenty. A struggling Banyule outfit are up against a fired StBernards outfit who are coming off a thriller last week.Not worth the raps, should be a one-sided affair. TIP: StBernards by 53 points.And in the final match to finish off what will be a roundof smashings and beltings, Fitzroy take on Aquinas in atop of the table verses bottom crushing. Close your eyesAquinas fans, here’s a real taste of North 1. TIP: Fitzoryby bucket loads.

RRoouunndd 66 PPrreevviieeww -- NNoorrtthh 22Rupertswood take on Old Westborne at home, andalthough Rupertswood play well in front of theirSunbury crowd, OW are looking the goods at themoment. TIP: Old Westborne by 72 points.Fitzroy plays host to La Trobe in a wooden spoon clashthis weekend, and although I’d like to see the ‘Roys geta win on the board, I can’t see it happening. TIP: LaTrobe by 25.Old Geelong take on Therry Penola in my match of theround. Therry are coming off their first loss, whilst OGare on a roll. Tough to pick, but might go for the Lionsto bounce back, and get over the top in a close one. TIP:Therry by 5 points.And in what will be another thriller this week, Ivanhoetake on Old Xavs in a Semi-final repeat of last year.Ivanhoe came trumps up last year, and had a great winlast week, but with their inconsistency this year, I’mtipping Ivanhoe to have a shocker this week. TIP: OldXavs by 12 points.

SSoouutthh 11RReevviieeww:: Some big wins this round, and we kick things off withthe battle of the ladder leaders which saw theMelburnians get up over St Kevins in a comfortablemanner. P.Karageorgiou played a lone hand for theKev's but for the Buner's it was L. Bennett booting 4and major prune plucking from N. Von Bibra, A. Carterand A. Armstrong proving to be unstoppable on theday. Burner's = Flag favourites, the lid is off!! " That'swhat i'm talking about!"

The Monders also had a gutsy win over the Fieldersdown at E.E Gunn. T. Dureau, K. Sonnberger and M. Oaten decided they'dput the fielder's under one almighty test, proved to befar too strong and helped the Monders on to a 26 pointvictory, The big question remains down at Monderland, will Big Bustling Daniel 'T.D' Willis return fromsenior duties over the next few weeks to furtherstrengthen the Ormond outfit? If so, they could be anall mighty outfit.

58 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009

PPrreevviieeww ooff RRoouunndd 66..SSeeccttiioonn.. 11..Old Scotch should possess sufficient talent to defeat Prahran.Old Xaverians should continue their upward surge withvictory over St Kevin’s.Leaders, Collegians should maintain their unbeaten record byaccounting for St Bernard’s.I forecast a third successive loss by University Blues todayagainst the undefeated Old Xaverians 2. End of semester“Blues” have hit the reigning premiers, who must now be ingrave danger of missing the finals.The closest match today would seem to be that between DeLa Salle and Old Melburnians. The winner will open a twogame differential over the loser and should O.X. 2 defeat the“Blues”, the winner will be a game clear of the fifth side. Somuch for theory. In five Rounds, De La Salle have been thebetter performed side and at home I believe they will winagain today.

SSeeccttiioonn.. 22..Leaders, University Blacks, should be able to defeat Mazenod,despite the long journey necessary to reach Central Park.As I do not know what has happened to the availability of OldCamberwell players, I must select North Old Boys/ St Patrick’sto defeat them today.Fitzroy, buoyed by their win last week should prove tootalented for Old Trinity.Marcellin and Monash Blues meet in what could prove to be afinal’s preview. Home ground advantage will assist Marcellin,who will want to celebrate Chris. Wall’s milestone with victory.Monash, on the other hand, are again a very good side. Ibelieve the game will be close but I lean towards Marcellin toachieve a close win. In the afternoon match, Whitefriars knowledge of KoonungPark should enable them to take the points against thedisappointing, Old Brighton.

NNoorrtthh..North Old Boy’s/ St Patrick’s should prove too tall and fast fortheir neighbours, Therry Penola, who will really strive toachieve victory.Kew, who looked good last week, face an improving Banyule.I expect a good contest, but favour Banyule to win.Leaders, Old Ivanhoe should win over Werribee despite thelong journey they must make for the game.The journey from Donvale to Truganina is one of the longestin the V.A.F.A. and Whitefriars must make it today to playbottom side, Old Westbourne. Having said all that, I selectWhitefriars to win.After their defeat last week, Bulleen Templestowe travel to OldEssendon, who are proving to be a strength in the Section. Athome, I select Old Essendon.Williamstown C.Y.M.S. travel to play fourth placed, Old Carey.This should be a close contest, the winner of which could wellbe rewarded with a place in the leading bracket. At home Iselect Old Carey.

SSoouutthh..Despite Old Geelong’s big win last Round; I select Ormond tobeat them today.Caulfield Grammarians should remain in final’s contentionwith a win over South Melbourne Districts.Leaders, Old Melburnians will receive strong opposition fromSt Mary’s/ Salesian but I favour Old Melburnians to prove toostrong and so win the game.Both, St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers and Oakleigh recorded poorperformances last Round and each will be seeking to atonetoday. The winner will remain in the top four but the loser willbe under renewed pressure to remain among the leadingsides. At home I favour St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers to winnarrowly.Old Scotch should record another win by defeating HamptonRovers in the afternoon game.

TODAY’S CLUB XVIII MATCHES

M I L E S T O N E SMILESTONESMarcellin : Today against Monash Blues, Marcellin’s longserving CChhrriiss WWaallll will actually play his hhuunnddrreeddtthh ggaammee,although last week’s walk over will be recorded as his100th game … a double celebration is in order, Chris. As areward for your years of dedicated service to the “Eagle”cause. Last season Chris Coached the championpremiership team in Club XV111 North and this year he hasreturned as a player who is noted as a cheeky goal sneak,who possesses a silky left foot, which he uses with skill!Well done Chris from all at Marcellin, who look forward tomany more good games.

59THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VVVV

In a morning match, Banyuleproved too strong forWhitefriars and won easily byseventy five points.Old Carey celebrated with style as they outplayed Werribee bysixty five points to honour Kelvin Shrives milestone.Despite marked inaccuracy, Old Essendon maintained theirunbeaten record with a forty four point win over OldWestbourne.Kew drew away from Therry Penola, after half time to recordan eighty three point victory. Therry Penola could only managenine minor scores in the second half whereas Kew added sixgoals to build on the forty point lead they held at half time.Williamstown C.Y.M.S. kept in touch with the leaders bydefeating North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s by forty points.

SSoouutthh..Old Geelong made a mockery of my forecast of a HamptonRover’s victory, when the O.G.s defeated the “Seasiders” byone hundred and six points.With victory by seventeen points, Ormond halted CaulfieldGrammarians winning run. Their win lifted Ormond to secondplace on the ladder.Leaders, Old Melburnians, confirmed their premiershipfavouritism with a one hundred point victory over top fourside, Oakleigh. The winning margin was widened by the lastquarter effort of the Melburnians, who added nine goals in thattime. Their best were: D.O’Loughlin, W. Harris and R. Matthew.Oakleigh’s best included: Jess. Pickett, Robert Gee and PaulMalcolm. Despite inaccuracy, Old Scotch defeated South MelbourneDistricts by thirty four points.St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers dropped third place as a result oftheir sixty point loss to Saint Mary’s/ Salesian, whose form hasfluctuated so far in 2009.

CLUB XVIII SECTIONby Norm Nugent

With one third of the season over, there are teams in eachSection, who seem assured of final’s participation. Converselythere are weekly results which do not follow the establishedform trends. With a success rate of 66%, my track record ofpredictions is none too good.

RReevviieeww ooff RRoouunndd 55..SSeeccttiioonn.. 11..Old Melburnians kept in touch with the leading teams as aresult of their twenty six point win over St Kevin’s.Leaders, Collegians outplayed University Blues, who lost byfifty five points and who fell to fifth place as a consequence.De La Salle scored a resounding ninety five point win over StBernard’s, whose players are struggling to reach the requiredstandard of play in this Section.Second placed, Old Xaverians 2 maintained their unblemishedrecord with an eighty five point win over Old Scotch.In the afternoon game, perennial premiers, Old Xaverians,continued on their inexorable march to another final’s serieswith a ninety three point win over Prahran, who seem a mereshadow of the sides of season’s past.

SSeeccttiioonn.. 22..Whitefriars kept in touch with the Section leaders with atwenty four point win over Old Trinity.Monash Blues strengthened their grip on a final’s berth whenthey defeated Mazenod by forty eight points in a match marredby strong winds. Best for Monash were; Sheldon, Costello,Tracy, Woods and O’Meara.University Blacks tightened their grip on top position with afifty four point win over the very inaccurate North Old Boys/ StPatrick’s.Fitzroy broke through for their first win of the season, whenthey defeated a very inaccurate Old Brighton by twenty points.The Fitzroy win was made more meritorious by the fact it wasachieved at Brighton Beach Oval where a strong cross breezeaffected the play. Best players for Old Brighton were: Earl,Dooley and Krzywniak.Despite their rapid fall from grace as instanced by their forfeitto second placed, Marcellin, Old Camberwell cling to fourthplace on percentage.

NNoorrtthh..The clash between the two leading sides turned out to be adisappointing contest because; Old Ivanhoe defeated BulleenTemplestowe by eighty seven points. Best for Old Ivanhoewere: Matthew Joel, Tim. Farrentine and Nathan Pratt. ForBulleen Templestowe; Ben. Peel, Stephen James and TomWalters tried hard.
