SPORTSCOVERVAFA MAJOR SPONSOR

One of the first surprises I had when working out ofElsternwick Park was to view umpires training firsthand . Previously I had always been involved in clubsport and concentrated on the task of organisin gfootball or cricket training at my club . Whilst I alwaystried to have a relationship with umpires on match day,I generally didn't give them another thought until th efollowing Saturday when I would meet the new setagain .I was amazed and delighted to see up to one hundredand fifty umpires training on the Thursday night beforeeach Saturday's match . There were always plenty ofactivities with a number of different skills and drills toeducate our umpires .The goal umpires would split into a couple of groupsbehind portable goals and simulate match situationswhere they would adjudicate on whether the full ballcrossed the line or whether it was touched . Then theywould practice their signals and the all important fla gwave . I haven't yet seen them recording the score butthey do have a familiar pose .Around the extremities, the boundaries would be goingthrough their paces generally working on their fitnes sbut also on the skill of throwing the ball ten metres u pand ten metres in . They also like to assemble at the topof the goal square and practise throwing the ball to eachother to get their transitions correct .The biggest pack which would always have to be split u pinto at least four groups was the fieldies. They wouldhave to work on so many issues weekly . Not only woul dthey have to work hard on their fitness, but the learningof new rules and interpretations, the positions you stan dat the boundary throw ins, the angles you run when th eball gets transferred down the ground quickly . Mostlythough they would all love to grab a footy and pump theball into the ground and see how high they could bounceit . Generally there would be a contest going onsomewhere on the oval .Looking at this mass of activity also showed me howmuch enjoyment people were getting from thes esessions .

Whilst all this was goingon the selectors wouldbe in the stands pickingthe teams for Saturday,the BBQ was fired up andthe ever present sausag esmell pervaded the atmosphere . After training, mostwent to the bar in the umpires' social club, received thei rappointments for the weekend and continued their nigh twith a few games of cards and generally having asociable time .I am sure this scene is familiar to us all .On match day, instead of going to the players' huddle a tquarter and three quarter time, I go to see the umpires .They are experiencing very similar sensations to that ofthe players. They analyse their performance, discussthe conditions with their fellow umpires an doccasionally will have an umpires' adviser to consultwith . They get involved with the match and are able togive a good analysis of the strategies each team i susing .I have had the opportunity to witness the umpires ove rthe past two years and would recommend to anybody t ocome down to Elsternwick Park, view the activities andget involved as an umpire . Whilst you may not b ecompeting for premiership points, you are putting you rskills and your performance on the line each week whic his what all sportspeople enjoy doing .For those interested in umpiring in the VAFA contac tBrian Goodman on 9531 8333 or brian@vafa .com.au .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2005

No Faul Cul . .: :, :ut Is 1_.,C:_ in' _,'R wn 90-jPing Pongin gAbsolutely kicking myself that I opted for a table tennistournament rather than catching the De La Trinity game . Lordhelp us all . De La went gangbusters in the first term, bootingten to zip before the Cultrera led Ts mounted a veryimpressive fight-back . Six majors to the relatively unheraldedMichael Brown from De La and (yet another) five to theexplosive Damien Rayson. He has plenty to say and cuts apretty confident figure out on the field but boy can he back itup . As for Andy Cultrera, he must be a serious WoodrowMedal chance, having won a comp B&F in the lower grades(Aquinas) several years ago . Trinity lost no admirers,particularly given the absence of their captain Ramsden .There aren't many certainties in Amateur footy any more, butyou can pretty safely say that Scotch will be playing atSportscover Arena in the first week of the finals . And hats offto them ; they never demolish sides, just know how to scrapand how to win . To knock off Ivanhoe at home is some effort,particularly after a pasting the week before . As always, aneven Cardinals effort with particularly good games toGerstman and Wigney. Ivanhoe have gone down twice toScotch this year and had a day they'd rather forget . JamesHope's return in the subject of some conjecture but my mailis 2-3 weeks.If Scotch are to get that flag, they'll almost certainly have tobeat Xavs in a final, something they haven't done since 1959.Xavs are circling ominously and seem to have shaken off a!their injury curse b/ their tribunal problems and c/ their homeground horrors. Judging by their run home . Marcellin arepretty much gone . They'll have to pinch a surprise winagainst one of the top teams and beat St Bernards at the "Pitin Round 17 in order to stay up .Beating Bernards will be some task, given their fightingqualities over the last two weeks . If they had have knockedoff Uni, it would have thrown the comp into a tailspin but theclass of the students prevailed . Mark Paterson (again) wasbest for the Blues while Michael Kavangah was the premierFitter on the Varsity Oval. Very, very reminiscent of their2005 season this for the Bernies. And Uni? Well, it's almostimpossible to gauge where they're at from week to week butwhen they're on, they're frightfully good . Still not guaranteeda finals spot by any means .At the Badlands, Haileybury easily saw off OlMs . No dramasthere . Darren Lay played his best game of 2006 to date, alongwith Daniel Brown . David Oman was best for the Grammar.

TodayLots of clubs out there (not mentioning any names Uni Blues,Ivanhoe & Scotch) begging me not to tip them, lest they b e

2

cursed by the kiss odeath! Indeed, havingslipped below FraserCameron in the tippin gpoll and blown off the -- --- ---park by Ed Sill in th emost popular scribe poll, my confidence is at its lowestebb . With that in mind, let's tip Uni to beat Trinity (despitea very patchy record in Bulleen), Ivanhoe over Xavs,Scotch over St Bernards, Haileybury over Marcellin andDe La to absolutely Roger OMs.

TriviaCongratulations to resident Badland hard-man PattyO'Donnell who correctly nominated team-mate MattArmstrong as the current A Section player with the mostWoodrow Medal votes . Paddy, give Michael Sholly a calland he'll fix you up with your prize . It was close though,with Armstrong just shading Ramsden from Trinity,Ockleshaw and Lethlean from Xavs and Nick Mitchellfrom the "Pit . Which A Section club has the lowest andhighest average playing age (of senior players this year)?Might need a week off work to figure it out but feel free toemail jonathan_g_horn@yahoo .co .uk .

(S THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006 7

REVIEr .'Tough one for Mazenod who after leading all day andplaying the better football were just pipped on the line bythe Uni Blacks who obviously kept persisting . A wastefulthird quarter where the Nodders kicked 1-6 kept the doorajar for the visitors, and as by a quirk of fate as the windpicked up in the last with 3 minutes to go the Blacks tookthe lead and never surrendered it to a devastatedMazenod unit. Best players for the Nodders were U19Luke Castledine and Nick Meehan .In what has been a trying year for MHSOB with so manyof their players away overseas, they had the win they hadto have to keep the wolves from the door and givethemselves some breathing space . After an even battle inthe first half, the Unicorns then took total control, kicking9 goals to 2 in the second half to put the haplessWhitefriars totally out of the game and into the dangerzone . Tim Dunne with 6 goals had a major influence,Matty White was back to his inspiring best, kicking goalsat will and young Simon Anderson and seasoned veteransRhys Limbrick and Drew Fairchild also played well .I suppose Collegians were due to drop one after being sodominant, but the Bombers certainly dispensed the firstdefeat with a sledge hammer. Set up by a terrific firstquarter into the wind, OEG's fierce attack at the footy wasable to shutdown the Lions' natural free flowing gameand forced plenty of turnovers . Best for the giant killerswere Blanket Ward, Dermie Kavanagh, the completepackage Jordan Leask, and it was good to see war horseDroof Fletcher back in action for his first game since 99 .Collegians didn't have many winners but were pleasedwith Nick Stone, Clint Harris, and Tom Bull who triedhard all day .An excellent effort by Old Brighton with four aggressivequarters of football that completely shut St Kevins out ofthe game, especially in the third when they kicked anamazing 7 goals to one into the South Road wind . TobyEwart set it all up for them in the Ruck, enabling the likesof Hendra, Buckley, Mason, Dubyna, Jakobi, and Oliverto have a field day. With Tom Mentiplay a big target atCHF and Adam Pirrie kicking 5 despite the best efforts ofan impressive James Keogh, the Tonners continuedhoning up their game as they head towards Septemberaction .Who would have thought, after Caulfield Grammarianskicked the first 4 goals of the game that the Sharkswould go into recovery mode and win by 55 points? Wellthat's exactly what they did with a terrific brand of fast

8

running high pressurefootball that found theFields with absolutelyno answer. It was set upin the midfield whereLuke McNicholas and Lee Wonnacott held sway, seetingup young guns Ryan Heywood and Tom Dean plenty ofchances to kick goals . While down back Mark Ensor andChris Graham did a demolition job on the Sinclair's .Terrific win for Beamaris in a game well officiated by themen in white who allowed the players to play .

PREVIEWMazenod have had a week to get over thedisappointment of last round and have to front up againtoday at home in another "must win" game for them . Nottoo sure that they can do it even at Central Reserve as theSharks full of confidence from last week will consolidatetheir sport and continue a late run at the Top 4 .Gee what a follow up for Caulfield Grammarians asthey welcome the in form Old Brighton to GlenhuntlyPark! Andy has told me to stick with the Tonners nowas he reckons they can play a bit . So based on that, it'sOB for me .

* THE AMATEUR FOOTBAL L ER 2006

Normally coming off a big win one would havesuspicions about OEG backing up but the 2006 versionis a lot different and a lot mentally tougher and todaywith still a sniff of sneaking the double chance will betoo tough for Whitefriars even at Friar Park .Heaven help the Uni Blacks as they welcome what issure to be a pumped up Collegians after the ignominy ofdefeat one in 2006 . Don't read too much into it as it wasthe loss they had to have and the wake up call theyneeded . Blacks will be up too, as a chance to be sittingfourth awaits them tonight, but I feel they will just fallshort.And so to Sportscover where an important clashbetween SKOB and MHSOB takes place . For the victorcome some breathing space and the loser a bit of addedpressure over the last 4 weeks . Both young and learningbut it could be the experience of Paul Greenham, PaulO'Keefe and Luke Mahoney that has Skevvies greetingthe judge .

t.31.-0'_1. ,- iEOld Brighton's champion, Leigh Hendra, recentlyreturned to the action in brilliant fashion with a best onground performance at Whitefriars in his 100th game,and continued his inspirational example last week byleading the demolition of St . Kevins . Leigh's superbskills are matched with an unrelenting work rate, and hereaches his ton having established himself as a VAFAState representative and one of our Club's greatest everplayers . A scrupulously fair player, Leigh is a fiercetackler and ruthless competitor who is respected by allopposition players, and idolised by his teammates.Although mid-season injury may cost him the chance ofa third B&F in a row, Leigh is determined to chargetowards the finals in top form, and the balcony at thebeach is salivating at the prospect of watching anotherhundred from their awesome champ . Well played Lethal !

:~s_,II ~~~~~ •to win games of footbal l

! don't think it is . Winning games of footbal lould be looked upon as a bonus . As the head

coach or senior coach, your role should also includethe development of not only the playing group butalso your fellow coaches, medical staff andadministration staff .

At Caulfield Grammarians we train the seniors,reserves, under 19's and Club 18 together on aregular basis . All teams dine together on theThursday night before the teams are announced forthe weekend's games . This creates a greatatmosphere and helps with players moving betweengrades as all teams are trained to the same gameplan .

As a way of developing future coaches at CaulfieldGrammarians FC, both the senior coach and reservescoach will hand over the reins to other personnel . Inthe senior game versus Whitefriars in round 10,Duncan Kellaway coached the senior team . Duncan'sresponsibility included setting training for the week,conducting all training and team meetings, chairingthe selection committee meeting, coaching duringth game and the most difficult job of them all, tellingpl ; ' icy had been dropped from the senior team .

for that match day included talking to playersinditi' lually, working the team board and supportingDuncan if needed .

The result, a ten goal win after coming off two eightgoal defeats . In the following weeks, other playershad the opportunity to get involved in the coachingstructure by conducting training, writing matchr . ;orts, e~Li ;3g to the playing group before and

during games and setting game plans for the comingweek .

What are the advantages of handing over thecoaching duties to a novice coach ?

It can be a way of refreshing the playing group byhaving a new voice giving them instructions . Theregular coach can also learn from the player,especially if that player has played at a higherstandard of football . It can give the head coach theopportunity to sit back and see the playing groupfrom a different angle . The playing group cansometimes lift as they don't want to let their matedown .

Other important advantages relate to showingplayers is how much work goes into preparing af ootball team to play at their best and it is also hopedthat players will become better performers as theyhave seen the other side of the game were they mustthink of others and not just themselves .

Are there any disadvantages? - Personally I can'tsee any as it is giving players the chance to expressthemselves and it is building coaches of the futureand that is good for the game . Others may disagree !

~ .~s gain some val p Jie grounds drying up pretty much all ove r

irne, and injuries exacting a heavy toll at som ecl '~, I expect more lop-sided scorelines as we run

at ' to the final round .

Th+ rin,nd down to David Street and had a picnic,ith ' ampton Rovers rolling out the tartan ru g

i nd scones all affernoon . Whilst the- 1 oth sides should've provided a nip-

n-t ck g the visitors adjusted to the cross breeze wellant or f rer errors than .he °overs to lead at thefirs cha 7oals . However, iP it second term was afan of essure to Old Camberwelldet i 3 any room to c and pounced onturnovet in ie forward 50 to kic o to a 39 point lead .Frome there on, it was plain sailing as the Tsvo Cans (Pikeand de Sanctis) controlled things down back whilst PaulByrne carried the ball 487 metres off his wing . The onlydowner? Loafs' damn hammy twanged again !! !The Tigers took out the sewing kit against the Reds and notonly stitched them up, but also the minor premiership inthe process - and what a procession it was!!! LukeBeveridge had the luxury of experimenting from and earlyjuncture, introducing Luke McMurray into the line-up andgiving Andrew McMahon a good run at half back .Elsewhere, Anstey racked up a lazy 36 state, only betters bySteve Kidd's 38 off half back . Tigers have firmed to $1 .01for the flag now. . . ..The Jackas took little time at all to get on top of Monash onSunday, making up for last week's ordinary effort in truestyle . The return of several quality players did the trick butboth Sam Bruce and Ben Klein really shone in the windyconditions . Mr Manpower followed up his BOG last weekwith a true cabaret performance for his adoring fans, butmanaged to keep the kit on for a change and will certainlyadd more bite to the midfield when September rollsaround . The Ashes, meanwhile, could only look to AzWilliams as their real standout in a disappointing effort .The remaining games saw runaway victories to Ormondover Paradians and Parkdale over NOBSPC . For Ormond,Ash Russell and Wayne Cove provided half their score,whilst the Paradians are looking down the barrel now witha massive turnaround required to stave off relegation . AtParkdale, I was expecting Lorraine Bailey and Paul Croninto shout the bar as The Sullivans (all four of them)

some crucialga > to look forward tothis week, it's time to extend the pr_ .il-, 3 e. ?~_uch so heregoes:The RedNOB Cup is up for grabs again when the BrunswickSt boys shoot up Albion Street to the Alec Gillen Oval as8th host 7th . The Reds' form is ordinary to say the least,but the whispers are some big guns are back to help themstay out of the bottom two slots . The winner of this canbreathe a little easier, whilst the loser will be sweatingbullets . Should be a cracker, and the Combine will salute by9 points .Some might say the loser of the face-off at Boss Reservecan almost bid farewell to C section until at least 2008. I'mnot so sure about that as, barring a Reds/NOBSPC draw,they'll still only be a game and % behind 8th . Anyhow,enough of the state, the result is all important, and it'll bethe Rovers by 16 points .The Wallets are now at the head of the pack in the battle for4th, but face the Tigers and can't reasonably expect to holdonto that spot unless someone boobytraps the STMBT busand it tails to get to the GBO ~i all . Tigers ~y 7 goals .

18 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

REVIEWA demolition at Dunshea Oval, Old Carey pounding St . Leo'sEmmaus by 85 points. Again, the results of the ruck contestswere influential with Unkles and Basell dominating for thePanthers . Baranello was the only standout for the Animals .Prahran pushed the high-flying Bulleen Templestowe all theway, leading by three goals at half-time in their match at TedAjani Reserve, before the class of the home side prevailed, theBullants eventually winning by 12 points .After being 10 points down at half-time, Old Geelong turned iton, crushing Old Mentonians by 124 points at Como Park .Kris Daft starred in the ruck for the Oggers, while ColbyO'Brien and Will Paul split 10 goals between them .Therry Penola scored a much need win, upsettingRupertswood by 13 points at Salesian College Sunbury .Yarra Valley OB recorded a comfortable 50 point win overBanyule at R J Brockwell Reserve . Valley's Tim Hancockstarred after rucking most of the day unchanged, while CamBritt's courage was particularly admirable.

PREVIEWOld Mentonians play host to Bulleen Templestowe at thePlaying Fields. The Panthers' finals dreams have turned todust, and will now just be looking to record the best finish theycan . The Bullants were severely tested by the bottom side lastweek and the subsequent reality check should shake off anycomplancency that may have been lingering . Both teams haveplayers that are capable of kicking a bag of goals (Basile andTwentyman for the Panthers, Matthews, Williams and Bain forthe Bullants), but around the ground, the Bullants have thebetter balanced side and that extra bit of polish . BulleenTemplestowe to win .Banyule travel to Toorak Park for their relegation dogfight withPrahran. Banyule are the better placed of the two, but theirrecent form (eight consecutive losses) hasn't inspired muchconfidence . Prahran have been respectable since season'sturn, but will be rueing many of those earlier defeats. Thepotential duel between Banyule key defender David Gayfer andPrahran tall forward Paul Scanlon may well be a barometer ofthe overall contest today, so keep an eye out for this particularcontest . I'll gonna pick the Two Blues for this one .Emmaus St. Leos take on Yarra Valley OB at BennettswoodSports Ground . Many eyes will be on Valley ruckman Tim"Herbie" Hancock after his admirable effort last week, whilethe likes of D'Amico and McKenzie will need to have big gamefor the Animals to lift their side onto greater things . St . Leoshave been drawn back to the relegation mire somewhat, and awin here will ease those fears, but this is also a greatopportunity for the Bushrangers to burst into the four, right atthe business end of the season . Look for Valley's Rob and AshDrew and Phil Valoppi to have an influence today also .Bushies for mine .Old Geelong make the journey to John Pascoe FawknerReserve for their match against Therry Penola . The Lionsgained some much needed breathing space from the dropzone after their teriffic win over Rupertswood last week, which

20

®~36iaii~sa1 1

will certainly buoy theirhopes for today. JarrodBannister has been valiant iup forward in recent week sfor the Lions, but canexpect stiff competitionfrom the likes of Sand yMakin and Marty White . Up the other end of the ground, theHoops have a surfeit of goalkicking options (O'Brien, Casboult,Kimpton, etc.), which will keep the Lions' defence on theirtoes. The Oggers, despite last week's massive win, would befoolish to take Therry lightly, especially in light of the Lions'result against Rupp. I'll take Old Geelong in what should be areasonable close contest .A big game at Dunshea Oval sees Old Carey square off againstRupertswood . I gave Rupo some "big ups" last week only forthem to lose, and another defeat may well see them tumble outof the four (depending on the result at the BSG) . Theirindifferent run of late has been baffling, especially consideringthe quality of talent at their disposal . It may well be that theclimate at this time of year does not suit the Rupo runninggame, so look for an improvement in later rounds . I feel itwon't happen today though, as the Panthers continue to playtheir football with aplomb . And with the likes of Mullins, ChrisAngus and Travis Bull due back, it will be tough for theselectors to decide who to leave out . Not a bad dilemma tohave. Hard to go past Old Carey, so Old Carey it is .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

Three players at Prahran this week are scheduled toreach the 50 game milestone . Depending on fitness,Matthew Harrison will play his 50th senior game .Joining the club in 2004, he plays most of his footballin the centre . Daniel James also reaches his 50games after having joined the Two Blues in 2002, andhas been influential in defence . Nathan Gillcompletes the hat-trick of milestones . Initially joiningthe club in 2000, he missed three seasons, andalthough more a reserves player, he has made severalsenior appearances this season, mainly in defence.Congratulations to you all from everyone at Prahran .Old Carey would like to congratulate Ian "Ocka"England who this Saturday will make his 600thappearance as a player/umpire (Writer's Note : not atthe same time, as far as I know) . Ocka is a true clublegend, first appearing for the club in 1969 while stillat school, and going on to play a club record 325games, win five Reserves Best and Fairests, play inthe 1970 Reserves Premiership, coach the Reserves,serve on the committee in various roles, and beawarded a VAFA Certificate of Merit . This Saturdaywill be Ian's 275th as an umpire, also a remarkableachievement. Old Carey would like to congratulateand thank Ocka for a lifetime of service and wish himall the best for this Saturday and the future .More multiple milestones, this time at OldM entonians, where the duo of Blake Carroll andBernie Coghlan both reach the 50 game mark thisweek. Both Blake and Bernie have been greatcontributors to the club, with Blake having developedinto a pivotal member of the senior side, and Bernieusing his senior experience to be an integral part ofthe Reserves' push towards the finals .Congratulations to you both and the club looksforward to many more fine games from Bernie andBlake .A milestone of a different kind at Yarra Valley OB,where six-time club leading goalkicker James"Bargie" K eem became the club's all time leadinggoalkicker with 280 goals, courtesy of the last of hisseven goals in last week's game against BulleenTemplestowe . This saw him overtake the previousmark of 279 set by Paul Telford . Well done Bargiefrom everyone at Yarra Valley Old Boys .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006 25

Glen Ira are m{ ing a late charge for the finals andare now equal on points with Aquinas and Werribee .Down the bottom end of the ladder, the relegationstory is still unclear with Ivanhoe Assumption andWilliamstown holding the bottom two spots at themoment, but La Trobe and St John's are not yet safe .V may have a cl rer picture after today's matches .

' r - _ _ T .70 v _a - - - . : $2 . 05This is Willy's chance to get out of the relegationzone . They were outclassed by Peninsula lastSaturday with only John Gallivan and Daniel Jory ableto hold their head high . La Trobe were somewhatunlucky going down to Werribee by a solitary pointafter leading by 21 points at the last break . StephenPruscino continued his great form, and is now a shortpriced favourite for the B&F out at Bundoora . I thinkWilly will get the points today, but am not overlyconfident. They have let me down too many timesthis year. Williamstown by 9 points.

Glen Eira AFC $1 .40 v I ;umption AFC$2 .70Glen Eire continued their late run ut the finals with a 9point win over Aquinas in a fiery encounter . ScottDiamond and Chris Massis were unstoppable, as theycame from 9 points behind at the last change . TheHoe's were competitive for the first three quartersagainst Oakleigh but again ran out of legs in the laststanza going down by 16 points . Coach John Garrardimpressed, taking what many at the ground describedto me as the best mark they have seen at IvanhoePark for years, whilst Dave Neilson and Travis O'Neillwere amongst the better players . Big danger gametoday for the Saints . If the Hoe's can play fourquarters then they are a huge chance, but with toomuch to play for I think Glen Eire will get the fourpoints by 22 points .

BB $1 .08 v . _ ' G $ 6 .50The premiership favourites won their eleventhstraight match with a 53 point victory ove rWilliamstown . Josh Davis and Reed Powney wereimpressive for the Pirates, whilst Sam Murray wasimpressive in front of goals with four majors . S t

26

John's tried hard and trailed by only 11

points at the last - _-- jchange but ran out o flegs in the last going down by 54 points to Salesian .Veterans Dean Rydquist and Kane Arnold battledhard, and John Ryan managed three goals . It was a132 point drubbing last time these two met in thePirates favour, and today I think Peninsula will win by129 points.

_ - • - - •-- `- - ,'ribee escaped with a 1 point victory over L a

Trobe, after trailing for the whole day. Cameron Leewas unstoppable on the half back line, and AndrewTedesco and Nathan Addamo found plenty of the bali .Aquinas led for most of the day, but were overrun lateby a desperate Glen Eire side by 9 points . GlenWhitehead was good for Aquinas as was Trent Harkinand Michael Glassborow . Huge game today, with thewinner to take fourth spot on the ladder, and to holdthe upper hand in the race for the finals . Dean Whittenis the key for ~ . .̀'-Fribee, and Daniel Den Braber crucia l

for Aquinas . Neither team has been playing greatfootball, but at home I think Werribee will get the winby 2 points .

Oakleigh AFC $1 .60 v Salesian AFC $2 .20The Krushers sit nicely in second spot on the ladder,after disposing of Ivanhoe Assumption by 16 points .Trevor Bromley and Ben Gately were impressive, andJohn Rutter found plenty of the ball in the middle .Salesian were made to work hard to get the pointsagainst St John's, but ultimately proved too classyrunning away to win by 54 points . Andy Thain wasback to his best with six goals, and Ash Rossmarshaled the defence superbly all day . This localderby should probably decide who gets the doublechance and first shot at Peninsula in the finals.Should be some good on-ball battles betweenSalesian's Bonnici, Oldfield and Rose againstOakleigh's Bromley, Rutter and Hogan . I have a funnyfeeling Salesian might cause an upset here . Oakleighgot the points by 25 points earlier in the year, buttoday it might be the other way around . Salesian towin by 22 points .

Ressies Report :With Matty Loughnan in great form, Salesian areslight favourites for the reserves premiership .Aquinas are making a late run for the flag withMichael Visser in fine form, whilst Peninsula havebeen impressive all year. Toss of the coin for fourthspot on the ladder with Werribee and La Trobefighting it out . Tough matches for both' clubs today . IfWerribee can get the points today over Aquinas thenthey will probably hold on to fourth spot. No doubtthat veteran Johnny Marinis holds the key today forWerribee .

:zilley

Dave Waters . (Last

week I had the pleasure

of coaching against a

Mazenod team

containing Dale Grant

and he remains a very

fine player - GR)

St Kevins were primed to see!, revenge on Old Xavs

for their round 5 loss earlier in the season and burst out

of the blocks at Toorak Park to lead the home by

nearly 5 goals at quarter time . Ryan Grinter was the

key player early for SKOBS and Xavs' coach Tim

O'Shaugnessy was forced to make some significant

changes to his line-up in an effort to control Grinter's

impact on the game . Although the Xavs kicked 6 goals

in a more concerted second quarter effort SKOBS

responded later in the term and bagged 5 goals

themselves with Steve O'Connor dominating the

centre . McCarthy and Donati helped Xavs to narrow

the gap by three quarter time but in the last, SKOBS

kicked away again and were delighted with their final

victory, 19 .16 to 16 .8 . Best players - Fraser (4),

Grinter, Gallery, Lynch . Sadler, Byrne (SKOBS) and

McCarthy, Donati, Gowers, A McDonald, Sassi,

Brushfield (Xavs) .

At the Junction Oval, the home side, Old

Melburnians, had to come from behind against a

valiant Therry team . At half time OM's were 25 points

down with their challenge for a top four spot looking

forlorn . Led by Treloar, Berry and Thompson, the

Grammar boys lifted their work rate in the third term

and snuck their noses in front by the final siren despite

the special efforts of Therry's Appleford, Evans and

Crotty . Other better players in the match were

Theodore, Smith and Guest (OM's) and Finnigan,

Boyle and Seratore (Therry) .

Umpires' Corner column congratulated the following

umpires on being promoted to higher grades - Dash

Pieris, Mat Taylor, Paul Withington to B Section and

Troy Brooks, Andrew Chapman, Nick Evans, Simon

Payton to C Section .

Brad Beitzel, in his column, For The Love Of The

Game, related an inspiring story of a young Mazenod

player, Dale Grant, on his first A Section senior game .

Dale had been born with half a right arm . Senior

Mazenod coach, David Murray, certainly provided a

great challenge for Dale in his debut game when he

brought his young charge on in the second term to

cover no less than Marcellin's Woodrow Medalist,

Old Trinity lost their ad game in three weel :s and

the consistency of Old arade, plus their strong win

against Old Ivanhoe, 11 .11 to 4 .5, took Paradians to

top of the B Section ladder . It was heavy going and the

game had been scheduled as a home fixture for the old

boys of Ivanhoe Grammar but due to Chelsworth Park

being under water, the game was moved to Ivanhoe

Park . For Parade to kick I 1 goals in the heavy going

was a great effort and they were never challenged from

early in the second term . Zappa, Vincent, Ciavola all

got plenty of the ball for the winners and Paul Joyce, a

late call up from the reserves, did his bit by rucking

tirelessly all day. Donaldson, Veal and Vaughan were

best for Old Ivanhoe .

One of the colorful characters of amateur football,

MHSOB's Ron Verma, played his 300th game . Ron

had been playing since 1979 and was a former captain

and coach of the club . Perhaps Ron's favourite memory

was the 1991 D Section flag when he was coach! All at

MHSOB offered their congratulations to a club legend .

B Section coaches were Rick Brockwell ( Banyule),

Phil Maylin (Bulleen Templestowe), Doug Gott

(Ivanhoe), Peter O 'Dea (MHSOB), Peter O'Connor

(NOBS), Shane Young ( Old Brighton), Kevin

McLean ( O ld Ivanhoe), Dale McCann (Old

Paradians), Simon Dalrymple (Old Trinity), Des

English (Therry) . No shortage of former VFL players

amon~~ this lot !

C Section was proving to be an even competition, apart

from relegation where it seemed St Kevins and Old

Camberwell were headed to D Section in 1987 . Three

teams had been jockeying for the top two places and

only percentage altered the top four after this round .

34 0 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

Thomastown went to the top with their victory over

fourth placed Kew. Gaining the ascendancy early,

Thomastown kept Kew goalless until the third quarter.

Although Kew got within a few points late in the final

term, Thomastown went on to win 7 .6 to 4 .10 . Best

players - Pavera, Bell, Sinni, Finn, Cope, Pearson

(Thomastown) and Schrober, O'Farrell, Portelli,

Busittil, James, McEwan (Kew) . Thomastown's

reserves were also in the top four and if they could hold

their position, the club's chance of a premiership would

be stronger.

The D Section top four would not change unless

something untoward happened and it would be left to

each team to prepare for the next three rounds before

finals' times . Top team Monash Blues had the most

resounding win when they smacked Power H ouse20.14 to 11 .7 . Sturgess (4), Barker, Quinn, Baring, P

Forbes and McGregor (4) all showed great form for

the Blues . Desler, Flaherty, Harris, Corbett (5), Trist

and Miller were good players for Power House .

Bulleen United captain, Richard Morley, attained his

double century against Clayton . A multiple winner of

his club's best and fairest award ( 7 times) and winner

of the E Section best and fairest for the last three

years, "Dick" Morley was an outstanding contributor

and regarded as the Bull's best ever player. Everyone at

the Bulls hoped there would be many more games than

200 for their champion .

D Section coaches were Jeff Rosewarne (Balaclava),

John Taylor (Coburg), Brian Bond (Heatherton),

Brian Ford (Monash Blues), Michael Taylor (NorthBrunswick), Richard Sykes (Power house), John

Meese (Preston), L Stretton (Old Ivanhoe), BertCalvert (Old Mentonians) and G ~"s ethf r€?3 ("'lest

Brunswick) .

Ormond had not given up hope of competing in tf-~ ,

Section iiuals' series and were only a gamc out of

fourth place and with a good percentage . At home to

Coburg, The Moods were great in the second quarter

with Roger Wood and Bruce Bourne dangerous up

forward . The damage had been done to Coburg in the

first half and the final score revealed a fairly easy

Ormond victory, 16 .14 to 12 .7 . Best for Ormond were

Roger Wood (7), Bruce Bourne (5), Corben, Jenkins,

Morris and Murphy . Coburg hailed Mann,

Cunningham, Egan, Tolley, Leckie, McAuliffe .

Doug Cuttris played his 200th game for Ivanhoe .

Most games had been on the half back flank and

occasionally on the wing or as ruck-rover. Interestingly

Doug's first 13 games were on the bench! In the 1973

Grand final he was voted best on ground .

St Bernard's were advertising their famous Grand

Final Breakfast to be held at the Chevron Hotel, A

favourite watering hole for many amateur footballers

over the years both after games and during the week !

In C Sectfon, the two top teams, North 'W«eurne

CBC Old Boys and St Bernards Old Collegi : as, met

in what may be a preview of the Grand Final in some 6

weeks time . Conditions were not great but the footy

was first class . North failed to take advantage of their

scoring shots in the first quarter but held a 1 point lead,

1 .7 to 2 .0 . St Bernards made better work of their chance

with the wind in the second quarter and were 3 goals up

at half time . North had a great third quarter and wrested

back the lead with 8 goals for the term . St Bernards

answered the challenge, restricted the opposition goal

scorers and only failed by 9 points as North ran out

winners, 12 .15 to 12 .6 . Best players were not received

from North ; maybe they celebrated immediately after

the game . St Bemards submitted Overman, Collins,

Coughlan, Sharkey (5), Considine and Amott .

The VAFA both published an open letter in The

Amateur Footballer and sent a copy to all club

secretaries outlining the new approach taken by the

VAFA Executive to combat the unprecedented surge of

violence on and off the field so far this season . The

edict identified that the Vice Presidents of the

Association would use the power given to them under

the constitution to report players as they saw fit . This

extreme measure was considered necessary as to date

there had been 15 cases of hospitalization due to

`thu~_ _er,' on the field .

iroselburnians) the Coburg club proved their higher

outstanding in the centre for the winners backed up by

Rochow and Mitchell .

In the Junior Section, Ormond (second) held off a fast

finishing H ampton Scouts (third) to win 14.9 to 12 .13 .

Ormond were a bit anxious for the coming weeks

however as three of their players were to head off for

ReviewOld Westbourne gave their finals chances a significantboost by belting Swinburne and gaining some much-needed percentage. With Justin Horsburgh on fireacross half forward and Troy and Trav Edwardscontinuing their great form, the result was never indoubt and it is now back to the drawing board for thehapless Razorbacks .It was another match of percentage significance asBentleigh flogged Kew. It was described as a terriblematch by the Kew faithful, with only Steve Ridd, BenWoodhouse and Glen Evans able to hold their head high .Meanwhile for the Demons, they continue to producequality players . This time it was debutant Jason Westwho demonstrated poise and confidence beyond hisyears . Sco tt Sice, Frank Dimatt ina and Brad Meehanwere also good for Bentleigh .Murphy's law reared its head when I made the call thatthe relegation batt le was over, however, the Saints weregoing to hear nothing of that producing one of theupsets of the year. With Jason Hill a rock at centre halfback, Benny G good in the ruck and Skipper GarretSchembri getting his big " dukes" working, it was a dayto savour for the club, and have kept a faint glimmer ofhope to stay in D3 .The match of the day between Elsternwick and SouthMelbourne was a little anti-climatic, as the Swans laiddown the law and established themselves as the clearleader of D3 . Wicker coach Dennis Grace said, "someplayers were complacent. We had beaten two finalcontenders in successive weeks and thought that itwould just happen again . We also blew it because someplayers were not commi tt ed hard enough at the ballwhen the going was tough ." Stern words indeed, andsomething that will need to be addressed if the club is tocapitalise on what has been a brilliant transition to D3this season .Unfo rtunately, there were no repo rt from the WestBrunswick/UHS derby, but with the result as expected, ithas set up a crunch game for the Magpies this week .

PreviewWith top spot secured, one gets the impression that theSouth Melbourne/UHS-VU match could lack a littlespark with little incentive for both sides . However, theSwans will not be dropping this one to the Vultures andit will be a big win for the visitors .After last week's belting by St.Marys, the spotlight willbe focused squarely on the Monash leadership group asmany in D3 question their commitment to the cause .

36

Bentleigh on the other handcontinue to be rated ashighly as the Swans . Whilethe result will be a formalityfor Bentleigh, the focu smay shift today to Chris Sharp as he draws ever closerto the magical 100 goals .Before last week, Eisternwick would have been eyeingoff today's match against St.Marys as a chance to buildsome much-needed percentage points, however, giventhe turn of events in the previous round, just getting thewin will be foremost in the club's mind . You can donothing but admire the Saint's spirit to strive to stay inD3 and on the confines of "Candlestick Park" they maysurprise . However, despite how much I would lovefollow my heart and pick the upset, I will stick with thehead and pick the Wicks, but not by much .Given the form of both club's last week, you could beforgiven for thinking that today's match betweenSwinburne and Kew would be a nil all draw, however,given Kew's precarious position at present, a win todayis vital for the club . At home though, the Razorbacks area formidable foe, and given last week's result, I would bevery surprised if they did not come out with all gunsblazing . Picking a winner is a tough ask, however, giventhere is more on the line for the Browns, I am inclinedto go with them in an upset .Who said the finals are in four weeks time? The battle ofthe Westies at "Attic Park If" is as close as you will getto a final and you could not get two sides more evenl y

PiZIikLA,RYEDGEAARY,F-TING by Steve McCarthy & Leah Gallaghe r

450 up! !A huge "congratulations" is extended to evergreen fieldumpire Michael Forde who clocks up his 450th VAFAgame today. Mick will be controlling the big clash way outwest at Truganina between Old Westbourne and WestBrunswick with his old mate Mick Gilday .Mick, who has umpired at the highest !evel in the VAFA,now enjoys running around the lower grades and Under19s, putting a bit more back into the game . As a tribute tothe effort he puts in year after year in the lower grades,Mick was honoured by receiving the Andy Carrick Awardlast year. Obviously a very popular and worthy choice!Mick's always been superfit and in most cases he still rideshis pushbike to and from his game. Mick, with thatcommitment, attitude and fitness there is no doubt that500 is well within reach . A sincere congratulations from allat the VAFAUA to one of the true foot-soldiers who in hisown way supports those guys in the top sections . Welldone Fordey, and keep running!! !

WebsiteFor those newer umpires who want to keep in touch withall happenings within the umpiring world, check ourwebsite at www .vafaua .asn .au which is very well-maintained by our resident webmaster Tim Sutcliffe . Alsoif there is anything newsworthy out there you'd like toshare, contact Leah Gallagher on sue_leah@dodo .com .auor Steve McCarthy onSteve .McCarthy@infotech .monash .edu .au

8th to avoid the deductionbeing taken from your pay.There will be no refunds, aswe have to pay in advance .

Heads or Tails?David Phillips and Jamie Kvins made an easy task look hardwhen prior to their recent game the toss of the coin turnedinto a debate . It seems the coin used was not of Australiancurrency and with no head on either side the ca!l of "tails"was a clear winner.

VolunteersOrmond U/19 team have picked up a bonus with a newvolunteer goal umpire at their home games . Lawrence(sorry, forgot your surname) earlier in the year just walkedoff the street and asked to help out, Lawrence takes his roleseriously being decked out in the gear and what he broughtback to the game is the Michael Lentini flag waving - panto-style . Congrats to Lawrence and to all other volunteers whoeach week help out their clubs by running the boundary orstanding in between the big sticks .

Hold the Phon eDoes the VAFA have a mobile phone policy? Yes, we know weare not allowed to drive whilst on the phone, but what aboutduring a game? Last week we noticed a club goal umpire inan under 19s game and a water carrier in a senior gamehaving a chat whilst play was continuing . Whilst we allappreciate the assistance from these volunteers, surely thosecalls could wait till the final siren? Is it, or should it be areportable offence ?

Lemon rinseWhich former occupant of the VAFA's Oval Office wasrecently spotted getting a "touch-up" to those "naturally"blond locks? Obviously his time spent playing with the Saintshad a long-lasting effect .

Are you serious??A change to our usual warm down the other week saw thefootballs come out for some circle work around the ground,so why did Jeremy Heffernan leave the ground? Jeremy ranoff so he could change into his footba!l boots. Get seriousBud, it was just a warm down, unless you were looking totake a few of the senior umpires down . Is this the only wayhe can get a game at a higher level? At least he trains thesedays!!

What a difference a few weeks make . Eltham slip to thirdafter a third loss in a row, whilst the Hawks make it 9straight. The House continue to get the job done whilstthe battle for fourth really hots up !

ReviewAbsolute cracker of a game down at Glenferrie Oval withan inaccurate Eltham failing just short againstHawthorn . The pace in the first half was frenetic, greatskills on show, played in great spirit, well umpired etc!!The Avery brothers were great for the Hawks who werealso well served by Dawson in the ruck . Runco was onceagain great for Eltham who also had a winner inmidfielder Turner.Great result for Bulleen as they moved into the four atthe expense of Box Hill North . I hadn't quite writtenBulleen off but was preparing the eulogy! Fradkin wasunstoppable, slotting a lazy 10 goals whilst Moore alsostarred for the victors. Riscalla and Irvine played well forthe disappointed BHN .Richmond proved to be no pushover as they made surePower House earnt their four points . Driessen was bestfor the House, whilst Edwards helped himself to anotherbag, this time kicking 10. Green and Speakman wereRichmond's best .Great win for Syndal as they easily accounted 1-r NorthBrunswick. The home side got off to a great start b`were slowly worn down by the Sinners a hHannemann starring and Cachia kicking 7 . P.-'-- .".soncontined his fine season for North Brunswick .Finally, the D4 smokies Albert Park kept on keeping onas they comfortably accounted for Eley Park . It was tightearly before the Falcons started to draw away and thenfinally bolted with a 12 goal last quarter . Venables kicked5 for the winners who also had Brown starring . Payneand Doubtfire were the best for the Sharks .

Previe wThe big three don't face off against each other againduring the home and away and thus an upset is requiredto cause a big change . The House have a few tricky onesbut face a simple rule, keep winning and the doublechance is theirs . Hawthorn and Eltham need to do thesame of course but percentage can still play a part .Fourth spot is now wide open. The present incumbents,Bulleen, have the toughest run home, playing off againstall of the big three . Box Hill North has an easier time,only playing one of the big three . Albert Park is in themiddle, playing two of them! So what does all thatmean? Bulleen probably needs to beat two of the bi g

42

three, a tall order. BoxHill Noriit need to ge

t thejob done againstEley Park and Syndaland pinch a win againstAlbert Park . TheFalcons have to win their next two (including a winagainst Box Hill North) and then beat either the House orthe Hawks . Not out of the question that all sides finishon 40 points but still hard to go past Box Hill North .A quick round up of this week's games .Power House and Bulleen clash in a game that will nodoubt be a hard fought affair. Bulleen were great lastweek but get no rest this time round . Learnt my lessona few weeks ago, House for mine .A big test for Albert Park as they travel out to the Houseof Syn to take on Synt' ' . t!o excuses for the Falcons asthey have too much a E ke and should win ,Box Hill North was di< ipointed with their form lastweek as a win would just about have sewn up a finalsberth . They will welcome Eley Park in the City ofWhitehorse Cup . Like the F<' .ons, no excuses for BHNthis week as this is a must . Good sides normally winthese ones and I fancy tha is and will!

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006 45

46 9 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

Last round and the final places are pretty much set instone .

This Sunday games will prove for many teams to betheir last for the season 2006 and although they havenot made it to finals, they should congratulatethemselves on their performances so far and not bedisheartened, as this can be used as a learning point forseasons to come .

At home in Parkville there are 5 games being played ;one is between 1st and 2nd and two between 3rd and4th and this can only mean one thing- "Blockbusters!"Its not very often you will get this line up on the sameday let alone at the same ground . This week will provefor many to be the hardest for the season as pre-finaljitters begin to set in and teams see the end to theirseason .

On Oval 1 we have an early start with Port Colts 2,currently sitting in 3rd spot take on 4th spot Mambourinin third division . This game will start off the day with agreat display of hard footy, where both teams will mostlikely being facing each other in the weeks to comeduring finals .

;Oval 2 will play host Ringwood anr - y 2 t oboth out of the four but should ret i i inthinking that this game is not wori i ~'ng, ' rausrthis writer does not know anyone eafio viould ,ant tofinish the season on a low when the ultimate objective isto get out there, enjoy and hopefully have a win ; )cwork on a tough season, boys .

The next two games up are : Bulleen vs. Pt Colts 1 agame that could potentially go either way but Pt Coltsshould be too strong for the undermanned Bulleen

_ and tighten their 'vice-like-grip' on second divisio arare seen as being clear favourites to take the flag .

Broadmeadows 1 take on the Suildonoers i nshould give the boys from the no

r confidence for the weeks to comeand overrun the undermanne dUnfo rtunately M aribyrnong have bu nseason as their numbers have been low, bu .that fire burning bright in their bellies anddown without a fight until the final whistle has blo

And finally down at Parkville we have our showcasegame between 1st Kananook and 2nd Ballarat, bothteams have beaten each other this season and this willmost likely be blow for blow until the final siren hassound . Ballarat will be hoping to make this back to backpremiership's and will defiantly be the team to beatr-_1ardless of ladder standing .

iurr° f 1 take on their counterpart 0 & M's 2t is ° ; is between the two heavyweights in division 3t ey nave controlled much of the season and now it istime for them to once again face off . This match up willmost likely turn out to be an early grand final as bothteams are sitting comfortably in 1st and 2nd spots . Thisgame could go either way as both teams play very muchthe same game and will most likely turn out to be eachother's hardest opponent ,

n 2 gets the bye and will progress into finals .i's future is not so clear they will be relying on

some losses in a hope to get into the top four .

Keep kfcking . . . . . . .

UNDER 19 [1 )Some interesting results and a brilliant winters' day to round out weekfourteen . What a sport it is that we play - don't you just love it !

Revie wOld Scotch moved an inch closer to the finals with a hard fought victoryover St Bernard's . Three goals down at quarter time, the fellas edgedback in front during the third quarter . An impressive victory, men !Uni Blues have nailed third spot and gained another win over a gallantRupo . Matt Mailman was brilliant all day and was helped out by ScottyHoughton who bagged five rolls .Old Xavs put more percentage on the pie, accounting for one timepremiership favourite Marcellin by eleven goals . Richie Benson jagged fivemore, with his mate James Glenn being awarded the prize for best on .De La, very much in the fashion of the Xavs, snuffed St Kevins quiteeasily. Gab Rae was welcomed back into the fray with five while RyanSemmel was also noted as being handy.In other games, Collegians wrestled BV to the ground, taking home thepoints at Harry Trott .

PreviewA few good games this week, none more than Old Xavs v the Blues . Areal tester for the Uni who have improved in leaps and bounds of late .I'll go with the Xavs to keep holding and clinch that all important doublechance .Old Scotch must win to make the finals today against an equallydesperate Rupo. The form of the lads from Scotch has been enough tomake a wolverine purr. I'll go Scotch.De La front up to an embattled Marcellin, who seem to be in moretrouble than the early settlers . De La have a few back this week . Watchout others . De La.In other games, St Kevin's will takeover Collegians and St Bernard's tobeat BV.Two "locks" in a row. Hence after picking Freo against the Dees and thenthe Dons against the Lions I'll keep things a rollin' . Hawks to beatCarlton by under 15.5. Any feedback to beatonc@tabcorp.com .au .Happy punting !

UNDER 19 (2 )Panthers reign supreme as OM's look to lose double chance .Butch's boys confirmed that they are the best side in the comp,knocking off the Melburnians by 16 . A mammoth first half made itimpossible for the OM's, only coming back in junk time . Full back AlexPattison starred, continuing to negate much taller forwards. Adam andHodges were standouts, while Bull returned with 2 . The Raiders wonoverthe Tonners, as hurricane winds produced an old fashioned scoringend . That end produce 19 of the 25 goals kicked . The 26 point finaldeficit, however, was not indicative of the defiant Tonners outfit thatcame to play. Curcio kicked 5 while Donald and Cunningham were solidin defense for the Raiders . The Fielders proved me wrong taking controlagainst Beatty, running home 27 point winners with Price kicking 2 . TheWellers belted the T's by 135 . Hillier kicked another 7, while the Friarsyanked the Blacks out of the 4 in a big way with a 97 point pantsing . TheBlacks are in all sorts, now sitting half a game out .OM host the T's at the home of Ammos footy (Sportscover Arena), onFriday night . The Melburnians need to and will get back on track beatingTrinity by a chunky margin . The Sharks host the Wallets who are lookin g

46

to own 4th spot. Wellers by afair bit . The Tonners showedhow well they can run the linesagainst the Raiders and shouldhave Caulfield's measure thi sweek at Beach Oval . Th edisarrayed Blacks will host a big loss this week, as the Raiders - Carey'sonly threat for the throne - take control . The Friars have risen from theirmid-season slump but it seems too little, too late as they will struggleagainst trend-setters Carey . The Panthers by 5 goals .bernecich@netspace.net .a u

Essendon's win against Ajax . This was not an upse; by any sTretch, wiOld Essendon charging home with an 8 goal to 2 second half to put thegame beyond doubt . Skipper Damien Cerantonio and David Bensonboth put in stellar performances and helped themselves to three goalseach while Adam Dudderidge also provided plenty of drive . Old Ivanhoekept above Ormond on the ladder with an easy win over Emmaus St .Leo's while Ormond stayed in touch with a 50 point win against LaTrobe, thanks to a six goal haul from Orry Lack . SBMT thrashed adisappointing Bentleigh with the big man Mitch Bodinnar helpinghimself to 12 goals, giving him a nearly unassailable lead for theSharpshooter trophy. Oakleigh smashed MHSOB with Lee Barrandbrilliant and Daniel Costigan bagging 6, keeping them on top of the tablewith a better percentage than SBMT.

PreviewSaturday August 5 presents us with potentially the Grand Final previewfor 2006. This round sees the two standout performers of this season,St . Bede's Mentone and Oakleigh, do battle at Mentone Reserve . Withthe top four settled, it comes down to ladder positions, so whethercoaches start resting stars or players rest niggling injuries, only theywould know. Both teams will probably hold things back and not show alltheir cards at once, however, a win in this game could be a massivepsychological advantage . Oakleigh won the first bout by 41 points butSBMT are a tougher unit at the moment and are playing this game infamiliar surrounds . This clash will be one for the "name a game" videofile and in a toss of the coin affair I am backing SBMT but only becauseit is at their home ground . In other games, Old Ivanhoe will beatBentleigh, Ormond should be too good against Old Essendon, MHSOBjust over Ajax and La Trobe at home against Emmaus.Send all match reports to al_vafa@hotmail .co m

UNDER 19 (Blue)Revie wIt was a see-sawing affair as many pundits predicted out at McKinnonReserve as first placed Old Haileyburians and third placed OldMentonians did battle in a thrilling game. Four points separated the twoteams heading into the last quarter but the might of Old Haileyburiansheld on for an 8 point victory. Old Mentonians kicked poorly to register7.20, however the pressure applied by Old Haileyburians didn't allow fortoo many easy shots on goal . Bradley Dolman was prominent as usual,while Stefan Martin was super impressive in his performance . MatthewWilton was best for Old Mentonians, a team that put in a great effortaway from home and a team that I think will be a contender come thefinals . Jayden Gilmour was everywhere in Oakleigh Clayton's 20 pointwin over Powerhouse/Sth Mornington, while Hampton held on to beatMonash Blues with Nick Lyall continuing on with his stellar season . Itwas the Nicholas Bogar show at Central Reserve as the power forwardkicked 11 goals to help Mazenod demolish Parkdale Vultures. Boger canstart writing his acceptance speech for the Sharpshooter award for theywon't catch him from here . De La had the bye

PreviewA top four clash presents itself this weekend with the red hot Mazenodtaking on the well rested De La in the beautiful surrounds of DarlingPark, Mazenod, thanks to the efforts of Boger, kicked a massive 29 goalslast weekend and will be extremely confident of taking this game awayfrom home . De La have been travelling okay of late and the week's restwill either have given them some time to regroup or it may have furtherdeflated them. The might of Mazenod should prove too strong for De Labut it should be a tight game all day . It doesn't get any easier forParkdale as they host ladder leaders Old Haileyburians who are comingoff a hotly contested game last weekend . Old Haileyburians will wineasily. Old Mentonians will get back on track after their minor hiccup lastround with an easy win over Powerhouse/Sth Mornington, whileOakleigh Clayton should be too strong at home against Monash Blues.Hampton has a week off .Send all match reports to aI_vafa@hotmail .com

Four weeks to go and every kick, mark and handball count for that runfor glory.Kew jumped out of the blocks against the Reds, but by half time thevisitors had taken control . By _ time the 27 point result was a forgoneconclusion . Monaco (5) and Wang were good for Kew while Halliwell (4)and an inaccurate Minnis (4 .5) kicked the goals in the absence of ChrisLigris. Rupo staged a stunning 10 point victory, away, toppling Therryfrom behind and edging the Lions further from the 4 . Rupo slotted goalswhen they mattered with Beau Lovett and Joseph Cariss kicking threeeach. Aquinas took care of Xavs by 29 at the mud pit . The Bullantsfinally took the points away in a spiteful encounter against the OldSaints . The triumphant Bullants took a while to use the gale-forcedwinds to their advantage (7 .8 in the first) . After early scuffles, theBullants pushed hard running home 15 goal winners . Kyle Adams (3)was a shining light for NOBSPC. Marc Mignone dominated in the ruckwhile in-form midfielder Marc Carfi moved forward to kick 7 for theBullants.This week the Aquinians will have the Lions measure, edging closer toFitzroy at the top of the table . Kew won't make finals but showed somefight against the Reds last week, showing they have enough to beat theOld Saints . 3rd and 4th play off as the Bullants host the Xavs in a rip-snorter, with both sides sporting even line-ups I'll say Xavs by a couple .The Reds host the inform Westbourne fresh from a week off . This gamewill be a true indicator of the Westies chances to play finals, but I'mpositive of a Fitzroy victory . The Woodsmen will hang with the geese fora week and are likely to get off the bottom.bernecich # netspace .net.au

Although it is a well known fact that unexpected results occurat this time each season, nothing prepared me or my readersfor the number of upheavals in Round 14 of these threecompetitions .With a success rate of a mere 37%, I reckon I know how theSouth African bowlers must have felt in Colombo!! !

Revie wSection 1Old Xaverians 2 never gave up against their taller and moreexperienced Old Xaverian 1 opponents. Their last quarterefforts were admirable as they outscored their more erratickicking opposition to go down by 21 points . Captain NickRathgaber did well for the "Crocs" whilst Matt Higgins (5goals) and Francis Indivino were best for the "Menages"- StKevin's recorded a 50 point victory over St Bede's IMentoneTigers. It was not all easy going for St Kevin's who trailed wellinto the third quarter. Best for the improving St Bede's /Mentone Tigers were Lynch, McNeill , O'Gorman and theconsistent McGraw. Once again straight kicking carried theday for Old Scotch who, though depleted, cemented fourthplace with a 15 point victory over inaccurate leaders Prahran .This high standard match was a close contest throughout .Scotch had good contributors in Dustin Addreley, AndrewWilkinson and Wilson - Humphries . For Prahran: Paul Limoli,Mark Howard and Luke Farrell were best . Mazenod continuedtheir improvement under the tutelage of Simon Fisher with a22 point win over the enigmatic University Blues. Best forMazenod included Mick Fothergill (8 goals) and mid fielderJon . Byrt . By losing to De La Salle by 41 points, OldMelburnians lost all chance of gaining fourth place. De La Salleset up their win with a dominant first quarter which left O .M.sto try to play "catch up football" . For De La Salle ; Aaron Powelland Scott Howe stood out .

Section 2Monash Blues won on forfeit from Old Brighton Grammarians,who fell short' of the necessary complement . Mt Lilydalefirmed in the premiership betting when they grabbed secondplace with a 138 point demolition of Marcellin. St Bernard'skept their final four hopes alive with a percentage building 114point win over Therry Penola . Despite the discrepancy in thescores, Therry Penola never gave up and St Bernard's had tofight for each possession . Best for St Bernard's were Sumner,Salemme, Cookson and Catterall . For Therry Penola ; Freze,Boden, Watson and Captain Toohey were best . The inaccurateWhitefriars slipped to seventh when they went down to theUniversity Blacks who won by 24 points . Illness and a birthrobbed Whitefriars of two of their stalwart forwards and so theside was not at top strength . Their best were : Spiteri, Atkinso n

56

and Singh. With a 50point win over FitzroyReds, Collegians grabbedfourth place with onegame to play. The Reds ,who have been in second place all season now look likefinishing third (again )

Section 3Old Geelong had one of their better days when they outplayedtenth placed Old Scotch to win by 28 points . CaulfieldGrammarians insured they will finish in fourth place bydefeating La Trobe University by 127 points . In a high scoringgame, Old Trinity insured a semi final appearance, with acomfortable win by 59 points over Emmaus/St Leos . In theclosest contest of the round, North Old Boys/St Patrick's were

able to defeat Beaumaris by 3 points . For the second time thisseason, Fitzroy Reds defeated leaders Old Essendon largelythrough gaining the early ascendancy The Reds, who led by26 points at the first change were only 7 points up at the finalsiren. Old Essendon's best were Turner, Greco, Coach JohnRush and Podger (3 goals) .

PreviewSection 1Old Melburnians could reshape the final four if they defeatPrahran. However judging from what I saw last week and theneed for Prahran to enter the final's on a winning note, Ibelieve the "Two Blues" will defeat the "Dark Blues". Mazenodare confident of ending their season with a victory over OldScotch. I doubt this will happen as a weakened Old Scotchdefeated the leaders last Saturday. Old Scotch will win this andenter the First Semi Final brimming with confidence . OldXaverians, although not running out the whole game last week,still showed the class which has brought them so muchsuccess. University Blues, will show endeavour, but will not beable to sustain the necessary pressure to defeat the OldXaverians . St Bede's lMentone Tigers hope to end theirdebutant season with a victory over Old Xaverians 2 . With theaddition of another species of Tiger, the Mentone based sidehope to field their strongest side . They will need to be in formas the Old Xaverian forwards led by Higgins ended last weekin fine fettle . On the small Brindisi Street ground I select StBede's / Mentone Tigers to win . The De La Salle versus StKevin's match will be an anticlimax as it was expected to be apreview of a final . St Kevin's, who have experienced adisappointing season, will be anxious to end with victory. Idon't see it happening as the big De La Salle team impressedlast week and I believe they will win again .

Section 2The final round in this Section is the promoter's dream as theoutcome of three matches will determine who plays in nextweek's First Semi Final . Fitzroy Reds want to regain the doublechance whereas St Bernard's must win and hope their desiresare answered by two other teams . The Reds may be in a slumpat the wrong time and St Bernard's impressed last week witha disciplined team effort. Their defence is strong and LukeGallant is a focal point up forward . Despite the game being atCollingwood, I will take the punt and select St Bernard's . (Theyusually lose when I pick them!) Two of the season's lesssuccessful sides Old Brighton and Marcellin meet at BrightonBeach . Because they are at home, I select Old Brighton .Collegians hold fourth place, which Whitefriars could take ifthey defeat Collegians by at least thirty seven points and theother results go their way. Collegians, although not playingconsistently each week, still have the advantage of playing athome and a healthy percentage break. Whitefriars, too areenigmatic and prone to errant kicking . I select Collegians towin . In the academic match, University Blacks must defeat theleaders, Monash Blues and hope other matches end in theirfavour. The Blacks form is not consistent and the Bluesfaltered two weeks ago and had a practice game last Saturday.Despite the strangeness of the Crawford Oval, Monash Bluessurely are the more talented side when judged over the season

10 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2006

and I select them to win . Mt Lilydale should consolidatesecond place with a comfortable win over Therry Penola,whose efforts are not matched by depth of talent .

Section 3In a final rehearsal, Old Trinity visit Fitzroy Reds . The Redsshowed great form last week and are entitled to startfavourites . However Trinity are used to a big ground and willcertainly be in the contest . I expect a titanic struggle and selectthe Reds purely for the fact they persist all the time and theyare playing at home . Emmaus/St Leo's should be able to endwith a victory at the expense of La Trobe University even at theUniversity. Caulfield Grammarians should defeat Old Geelongon Como Park, despite the Caulfield aversion to a big ground .Beaumaris, should complete their inaugural season with a winover Old Scotch. Old Essendon should atone for last week'sglitch with a comfortable win over North Old Boy's / StPatrick's .

I m rsPlease keep your reports coming this week . Thank you tothose who do . This week I received a report on each Section 1game . A first!! Please telephone 9467 2857 or e mailnknugent@bigpond .com by 1 .00p .m . Monday.Commiserations to Old Scotch ruckman, Matt Love who,dislocated his reconstructed shoulder last week againstPrahran.
