1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
A warm autumn day greeted the unusually late
start to the VAFA season for 2012. Two hundred
and forty-two teams were sent out in the chase
for the twenty-fi ve premiership cups and on the
surface, the battles in all the senior sections are
going to be hotly disputed. As with the AFL, one
should never judge the fate of a team until they
have played all the others. Who knows whether
your team met the premiership favourites or a
team that will be staving off relegation?
The VAFA is proud to have the fi rst application
that will have the live scores immediately
updated in a coordinated digital link to the
timekeepers. It was great to be able to follow
the scores and the time of quarter at each of
our games. First up we had twenty-two of our
thirty six matches on live and we are hopeful
that all clubs will be on board with this simple
process this week.
To download the app place m.vafa.livescores.
redtxt.com.au into the web browser on your
phone and follow the prompts.
One thousand, four hundred people did this on
the weekend and they looked at the scores on
an average of 4.5 times during the afternoon.
It is anticipated that this number will grow
massively in the next few weeks. Make sure
all your friends have the app so they can keep
up with the live scores from wherever they are
around the world.
The heat may have had something to do with
the tired legs that couldn’t get three Premier
sides home in the dying minutes of their
matches. Old Scotch, Caulfi eld Grammarian
and Old Carey all had last gasp kicks fall short
or miss, sending them to defeat. Football can
be a cruel game. Also exciting was the Opening
Day clash of the dual premiership favourites
Collegians and Blues. Momentum changes
in the match coincided with the sin binning
of Nick Sautner and Jack Watts, which I’m
sure would have left coaches and teammates
disappointed.
Club XVIII Section 1 has 12 teams this year and
we are trialling a fi nal six conducted over a
three week period. It can be argued that the
preliminary fi nals are the best games of the
year and this method allows for two. In the
fi rst week we have three matches, fi rst v sixth,
second v fi fth and third and fourth. Week 2 will
see two preliminary fi nals contested between
the three winners of Week 1 plus the highest
placed loser. The top team at the end of the
home and away season will be guaranteed a
place in the preliminary fi nal. The two winners
will then play off in the grand fi nal. This system
has been very successful at Premier and sub
district level of cricket and we are hopeful it can
work in VAFA football.
It all goes on again this week and remember to
download the app and keep abreast of all the
action from the thirty-six senior matches.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
Opening Day promises so much to so many that
it cannot possibly deliver it all. It always brings
joy and disappointment, but this year provided
plenty of heartache and April seems too early for
that.
The round gave us three games decided by less
than a kick, a blowout and a tension packed
afternoon under the spires that was not so
much a gripping contest but a series of strange
momentum switches that saw each team assume
at diff erent times play the roles of both master
and slave.
It began in high tension following a curtainraiser
decided by just a point. For the fi rst fi fteen
minutes, the weather was warm and the footy
was hot. Then Collegians edged, then galloped
away with little resistance from Uni Blues. But
for some wayward kicking, the Lions might have
already won it half way through the second term
when Nick Sautner misjudged the acoustics as
well as the goalposts. The arbiter thumbed him.
The game turned immediately. The Varsity
jumped back into it in spirited fashion, hauled
in the reigning but becalmed premier and took
the lead early in the third term. It then skipped
away to a lead approaching fi ve goals and the
Purple coaching crew was wondering when the
resistance would emerge. Late in the third, Jack
Watts was thumbed, capping an unhappy day
for the Woodrow Medallist. He seemed to me
to be trying too hard to deliver singlehandedly
the victory for his brother, who was debuting as
coach against the club for which he played. That,
as they say, was that. Collegians booted seven
goals to none in the fi nal term to grab the points.
Blues went to the sheds disappointed, but they
have uncovered some good ones, especially the
master midfi elder Peter Summers.
The pre-season skinny on the Brindisians was
that their ballroom days were over. Write them off
at your peril. Mick Dwyer’s team showed typical
Tigerishness and came home hard when most
needed. Old Carey had a chance late to restore
the lead it had held most of the afternoon, but
Julian Rowe slammed the Sherrin into the
woodwork and the Panthers went home empty.
It’s a tough place to win, particularly when the
wind blows. If the Tiges can’t kick straight, it’s
no wonder visiting teams can’t either. Featuring
strongly for the home team were ruckster Dan
Sceney and Mark Geschke, while the fraternal
centurions Al Parton and Lachlan McQueen-
Miscamble did their best for the visitors.
Xavs atoned for their defeat at Marles in R2
last season with a twelve goal victory. Only
woeful fi nal quarter goalkicking marred their
performance. Pat Ambrose booted three while
fellow debutant Tom Carey impressed in defence.
Old Trinity has a reputation for fast starts, but
didn’t have this one in the season plan. Rob
Humann picked up where he left off last year
and Luke Pacconi gave his all in this unwelcome
drubbing.
Caulfi eld Grammarians hoisted the fl ag but soon
slipped behind St Bernard’s, the team it beat in
the 2011 Premier B grand fi nal. It booted seven
in the last term but couldn’t get the four points.
For the victors, Jake Bevanda impressed, while
fans of the Snow Dogs will have been happy
to see Tait Wilkinson and Tom Overman back in
the colours. Tom O’Sullivan was a winner for the
Fieldsmen and new boy Matt Kremmer booted
three. Had he made it four with less than a minute
remaining, the Fieldsman would have won.
Out at the Bell, Old Scotch battled all the way

and nick Jamieson had a chance to win it for
them after the siren. No good: De La wins! While
the Cards didn’t collect the points, they won a
few new fans with their perseverance. DLS won
because of Nick Roberts, who booted four in
a display that indicated he is back to his best.
He was well assisted by the high-fl ying Frankie
Pickett. Mark Passador’s four goals would have
gladdened Scotch hearts, but it was Max van den
Broek who really stole the show with fi ve goals in
a BOG eff ort.
THIS WEEK: The new Old Scotch welcomes the
Brindisians and I believe the Cards will win their
home-opener. Caulfi eld gets another crack at
home, this time against Old Carey. I’m leaning
to the home team, but it will be close. Collegians
raise their fl ag but then must contend with De
La, which seems to relish wearing the clash strip
on the Trott. I’m with the visitors here. The Snow
Dogs will be waiting for Old Trinity and on last
week’s form, should be 2-0 tonight. Old Xaverians
meet Blues at Toorak Park. While the Varsity has
recruited well, it will need to be in top form (and
without the long lapses it suff ered last week) to
have a chance. Red and Blacks here.

I’m not sure about the wonderful world of social
media with its instant-click-tweets, clever little
memes and totally suss wiki pages. Spelling and
general accuracy are often casualties. Besides,
sports reporting in Melbourne has traditionally
been fairly speedy and reliable anyway. Stylish
too. Remember the trademark pink substrate of
the Sporting Globe? Saturday night’s edition had
all the day’s VFL, metro and country footy scores,
golf, bowls and a dozen other sports featuring
lovely crimson-hued photos. The paper came
out about 7pm; more comprehensive than the
afternoon Herald it had the complete race results
and umpire’s votes from ‘round the grounds. So
it was possible for a bloke who’d put in a blinder
to have a hot shower and a few sherbets in the
clubrooms, pick up a copy of the Globe and some
Chinese on the way home and read all about
himself as he sat down to a steaming saucepan of
Chicken Chow Mein. Yes, the VAFA Live Scores App
is brilliant, but can you smell it, frame it, or chuck
it in the bin in disgust? And how on earth do you
wrap tomorrow’s fi sh ‘n chips in it? For more info

The friendly folk at Pine Lodge put a positive spin
on the Hoers dismal round one performance
against Beaumaris (smashed by 127 points at
home) by invoking St Bernard’s miraculous 2011
turnaround after a similarly woeful season debut.
Hayden Heta and Nick Gieschen were welcome
returns, but fi tness and forward options were
otherwise sporadic. The Sharks on the other hand
looked well-drilled and unifi ed, albeit hard to
judge just how good they are given the lop-sided
opposition. Best was Callan Buckley hard at the
ball all day, De Fontenay on the wing and Gowers
bagged six to shoot to the Sharpshooter lead.
In stark contrast, the battle at Soldier’s Reserve
between Werribee and St Kevin’s was pressure
packed, end-to-end footy. The Tiger sweepers
from half back combined well with their on-ballers
in furious forward waves, fi nding Brent Morrow (5)
more often than not. New Skobber coach Harford
administered some home truths at half time,
McPherson and Brick lifting in response. The game
see-sawed, the ‘Bees looked home late in the fi nal
term, but St Kevin’s big man Anthony ‘Plugger’
Lynch had other ideas, kicking true from 50m to
seal a three point victory just before the bell. Wow,
pencil in the return game.
Fellow-relegatees Old Melburnians and Old
Haileybury met at the Junction Oval, jostling for
a positive psychological start to the year. OMs
got a two-goal jump amid a slight breeze, but
the Bloods shook off their malaise easier than a
Selwood shrugs a tackle, reeling in the scoreline
to trail by fi ve points at the half. OMs broke clear
in the third kicking six goals to three, telling in
the end as they snared an eight point victory
for new coach Nathan Brown. Ex-captain James
Beaumont’s decision to focus on his football
paid off with a best-on performance, while
Haileyburian debutant Josh Alkemade showed
impressive poise at full back.
AJAX unfurled their two Premiership fl ags before
taking on Old Brighton in another tight tussle. The
Jackas looked faster and cleaner in their disposal,
Routman scintillating in his 100th game while
the ‘Tonners at times fumbled and squandered
opportunities. They regrouped however, forcing
the Jackas wide and counter-attacking via Austin
and Riley. A heart-stopping, lead-changing fi nal
term featured dashing Jacka defender Nick
Marks breaking Old Brighton’s grip, AJAX nailing
the sealer in the fi nal minute to salute by eight
points. Lew and Fayman kicked fi ve apiece, as did
Jordan Portelli who made an exciting return to the
‘Tonner’s lineup.

Oakleigh and Uni Blacks took part in a moving
ANZAC tribute prior to their Sunday fi xture
at Warrawee Park, a tough and physical dual
appropriate to the occasion. The hard-bodied
Krushers came out strong in the fi rst quarter, big
man Stephen Ott was impressive in the ruck and
rotated forward, while Mick Harold snapped an
early pair as heavy clouds loomed in the distance.
Blacks revealed a much more competitive edge in
the second term led by Dan Costello and Tooradin
recruit Adam Cook (4) taking a ten point buff er
into the sheds. Oakleigh were committed but
unable to regain their early spark, Uni pulled away
to win by 5 goals as a freak downpour took much
of the sting out of the game.

C
In a predicted year of transition for Rupo, there
was a question mark over what would be
reasonable expectations for 2012. And after a
twenty-goal win to kick off the season in front of
its home crowd, chances are there would be a bit
of optimism out Sunbury way ahead of Round 2.
It was an emphatic performance out at Salesian,
with Rupo gaining control of the game early and
the margin being pushed out past eleven goals
by half time. Leigh Brennan had a dream start to
the year in front of the sticks, bagging ten majors
to lead an otherwise even spread of twelve
goalkickers. Jordan Gay and Matthew Quigley
were also lively in the demolition. Jackson Ward
and Leigh Fletcher never gave up for the Rovers,
who had half their side making their senior
debut for Hampton and lost a couple of players
during the game to injury.
The 2011 fi nals rematch out at Central Reserve
looked like being one of the games of the round
and it certainly was a tough contest, with the
visitors, after a rejig of their forward line, skipping
away in the second term and withstanding a
couple of Nodder rallies in the second half to
run out winners by 23 points. Simon Bennett
and Warren Carlyle were great focal points for
the Wellers, with some timely contested grabs
and conversions halting potential Nodder
comebacks. Mazenod’s Chamath Jayaweera,
contributed fi ve goals and was a standout for
the home side.
The Vultures unfurled their fl ag at Gerry Green
and ensured the celebrations continued into
Saturday evening, with a fi ve point win over
the highly fancied Fitzroy. In a tight contest, the
Vultures managed to get a valuable early-season
win, with Sam Kelleher and David Robbins
leading the way. The Roys lost no supporters
from their gallant performance and will be
eagerly awaiting the rematch on their home
patch. O’Reilly and Vansittart were brilliant and
Luke Ablett received a big tick for his fi rst up
performance.
There’s plenty of history involved whenever PEGS
and Marcellin lock horns. The AGS rivals and
2008 B Section grand fi nal combatants did battle
again at the College and the fi rst stanza was not
one for the archives, with a combined 1.5 kicked.
The game opened up a bit after that and while
the Eagles ultimately had a comfortable victory,
PEGS will be ruing their missed chances, with
a late surge in the last quarter producing 3.8,
to make it 5.17 for the day, against Marcellin’s
10.11. Steve McPherson would be pleased with
the Bortolottos, while Trent Cummings would be
similarly encouraged by the early season form of
Cam Livori and Mark Wilson.
While Graham Arnold can be satisfi ed with a
season that yields a top fi nish on the ladder, out at
Banyule the Bears certainly had some unfi nished
business from the disappointment of the 2011
fi nals series. Banyule opened its 2012 campaign
at Brockwell Oval and managed to get an early
lead, but Monash gained the ascendancy, with
four straight goals to fi nish the fi rst quarter. It
didn’t take long for the Bears to fi nd their touch
though, piling on six goals to one in the second
quarter and then seven to two after the main
change. The pressure was immense on the Blues’
defenders, with Banyule pumping the ball inside
50 68 times for the game and Sam Baring stood
up admirably for Monash. It was Adam Barclay
with six goals and Abe Williams was everywhere

for the Bears. Joe Cosgriff had a great game in
the ruck for Monash, combining well with Tim
McKenzie.
This week we see Monash Blues hosting
Hampton Rovers in a clash between two sides
who will be hoping to bounce back. The Blues
were still in last week’s game up to halftime and
at home, I’ll be backing them to square their
ledger for 2012.
The Vultures have the attention of the rest of
Premier C after knocking off Fitzroy and their
next test is at the Barnyard against the Wellers,
who had a pretty impressive win themselves.
It’s a fl ip of the coin between two teams who
will hope to be there at the business end of the
season. I’ll go with Parkdale, just.
PEGS are back at home against Banyule and will
be hoping they’ve recalibrated their kicking
radar. The Bears were impressive in their Round
1 win, but I think PEGS might get over them here.
Rupo is at Salesian against Mazenod and
chances are they won’t have things quite as easy
in Round 2. Nevertheless, it’s tough to go against
a team with a percentage over 300, so I’ll stick
with Rupertswood.
Fitzroy is back at Brunswick Street against
the Eagles. Seeing the Roys go 0-2 to start the
season would be a surprise and I think they’ll win
an epic encounter.

DS
From one, to two and now three sections of Third XVIII
football in three years and more graduates of the U19
program have reason to stay with their VAFA clubs
and push for senior selection. It’s not always easy to
get that third team together, but once on the park,
the extra numbers create pressure on the Resssies
and Seniors and give clubs another opportunity to
unearth some diamonds. In the past two seasons,
several players have begun the year in the 3s and
been in the 1s by season’s end.
So to last week’s highlights… a very close one
between Caulfi eld and the Bernies, De La slashed the
Scotchies, Xavs torched the Trins, while Collegians
and Blues played out an interesting duel.
In PB 3, the Tonners whacked AJAX, Northern Blues
were too strong for the Krushers, and St Kevin’s
binned OMs with the Marchesanis sharing 9 goals.
In PC3, the Nodders belted the Friars, the Wellers
monstered Banyule, Fitzroy went gigantic on
Mentonians, booting 200, while Kevs (2) beat
Marcellin.

10 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
DIVI
SION
1
The new season was ushered in by some glorious
autumnal football weather. Under clear skies,
spectators across Division 1 were, in the main,
treated to some good old-fashioned thrashings.
The skinniest winning margin was a not-so-lean
22 points, and even that should have been much
larger if not for some wastefulness in front of goal.
Glen Eira will be looking to turn their form around
quick-smart or a return to Division 2 will be a
formality. The Saints were completely outplayed
by an Ormond outfi t which put some indiff erent
practice match form behind them. Stalwart Shane
Metz provided the Monders with the target
they needed, slotting back into the forward line
like he had never been away to boot 12 majors.
Percentage may play a part come the pointy end,
so whilst early wins are important, big early wins
are like gold also.
The second-biggest spanking of the day was
handed out by the Pirates, who look determined
not to repeat last year’s mistakes, when it was
their ordinary early season form which ultimately
cost them a fi nals berth. Led by the seemingly
ageless Shaun Payze (5 goals), with support
from James Coughlin (4 goals) and Will Sansom,
Peninsula showed no mercy on a St. John’s team
whose initiation into the higher grade could not
have been more harsh. Best for JOC’s were Ryan
Thomas and Glenn Costas.
The closest match of the day was between North
Old Boys-St Patrick’s and Old Geelong at Gillon
Oval, but this was due in part to the profl igacy
of the NOBs forwards; their 3-12 fi rst quarter set
the tone for their day, allowing the Oggers to be
only two points down at the main break, despite
having seven fewer scoring shots! Whilst the
home team recorded a comfortable victory, led by
2011 Pepper Medallist Matt Keown (6 goals), OGs’
coach Frank Dunell would have left Brunswick
with plenty of positives.
Whitefriars, historically a much-better performed
team at home, would be delighted to come away
from Woodfull-Miller with a hard-earned four
points. The Friars got the jump on their hosts
with a 6 goal to 1 fi rst quarter; the visitors then
stretched the lead out to almost 10 goals, before
some late goals before the half brought the
Unicorns back into the contest. However, with
newcomer Tom Pollett and winger Jarrod Scannell
both on fi re, and Dan Tibaldi and Luke Kaldor on
top in the midfi eld, the early lead would prove
decisive. Best for MHSOB were Will Taft and Heath
Taylor, with Frank Carlucci notching up fi ve goals.
Undoubtedly the biggest upset of the fi rst round
was at the Fearon Reserve, where a new-look Old
Mentonians thrashed a lacklustre Williamstown.
The CYs had no answer to the run and carry of the
Panthers, whose 6-goal third term sealed victory.
Gareth Snow, with six goals (and probably even
more behinds) was unstoppable up forward, whilst
Sam Johnson and Cam Duncan were outstanding.
Even to the somewhat untrained eye of your
correspondent, the Panthers look a completely re-
modelled team, totally unrecognisable from last
season. Willy coach Ian Rickman’s fi rst foray into
ammo footy left him recognising he has plenty
of work to do if the Seagulls are to be a more
competitive force in this division.
Preview
A couple of intriguing match-ups this week, with
none better than the clash down at Mt Eliza where
NOB-SP travel to the Pirates’ fortress. I am tipping

11THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
Peninsula to be three goals too resilient in a close,
hard-fought tussle. Ormond’s visit to Como Park
will provide both the Monders and Old Geelong
with some early indications of just how successful
their respective seasons will be. For me, it’s the
OGs by 7 points.
Glen Eira, at home again, will be keen to atone
for last week’s disappointing result. However, I
expect MHSOB to bounce back from their fi rst
round defeat and to be too strong for the Saints.
The Unicorns to post their fi rst win by 25 points. A
huge day is in the offi ng at Whitefriars, what with
a triple-header and the club’s fi rst luncheon of the
season. The Friars should be far too powerful for
Williamstown, who may still have memories of the
shellacking they received at Donvale last season.
And speaking of luncheons, Old Mentonians will
today be celebrating their big move to Kavanagh
Reserve in Mordialloc with an off -fi eld gathering
attended by the AFLPA’s Matt Finnis, a past
Panther player. On-fi eld, I expect the rejuvenated
Panthers to be celebrating just as hard in putting
the St John’s to the sword by 40 points.

DIVI
SION

Just when you thought you could put the 3B
cream, Vaseline, Talcum Powder (insert preferred
chaffi ng remedy here) away for the winter,
Mother Nature puts on an Opening Day that had
us reaching for the cricket whites rather than the
customary footy shorts and Puma Kings.
The completion of round one usually brings a
sigh of relief for players, coaches and scribes
alike. For the players, the completion of round
usually signifi es the end of the push-ups, the hill
sprints and the 3 km time trials, replaced with the
far more enjoyable match simulations and goal
kicking drills. For the coaches, the game plans
devised over the summer BBQ’s and camping
trips get their fi rst live run. And for the Scribes,
the off -season, prediction plaguing rumours and
innuendo make way for cold hard statistics and
legitimate playing lists.
While incorrect tips in round 1 are inevitable, I
certainly wasn’t expecting the game at Garvey
Oval to be one of them. The highly fancied Old
Paradians quickly found themselves under the
pump as they played host to the not-so-fancied St
Mary’s , surrendering a 4-goal defi cit after a quarter
of play. Led by new skipper Brett Gatehouse
and hard nut Sidney Jones, the Saints continued
to apply crippling pressure on the inaccurate
Paradians, running out eventual winners by 39
points and gifting Coach Erwin Leyden his fi rst
win from as many starts. For St Mary’s, Jack Flynn
joined his skipper in the best, Joshua Lidyard and
Daniel Spitty performed admirably and Tommy
“Tim Tam” Clancy was dangerous on debut.
In contrast to the baffl ing result between St Mary’s
and Paradians, the Therry Penola, Emmaus St Leo’s
played out in far more predictable fashion with
Therry strolling away with a very comfortable 80
point win. A controlling second term led by Luke
Kowalski (6 goals) and Michael Pell ensured order
was restored and the Division 2 faithful wouldn’t
walk away from round one with zero correct tips.
Jarrod Egglestone joined his talented mates in
the best for the Lions while Phillip Carey and Ryan
Harding gave their all for the visitors.
La Trobe arguably had the worst start to a season
in their long and distinguished history, managing
only a solitary goal against Eltham Collegians at
home. Coming off two games decided by less
than a kick in 2011, perfect conditions and a large
crowd, the stage was set for an almighty contest.
What ensued was anything but, Eltham taking
a commanding lead from the opening bounce.
Sabastian Ciavola was unstoppable with his fi rst
Michelle of the season while John Galvin appeared
to take his own pill onto the fi eld.
An address from South Melbourne’s number
one ticket holder Bob Maguire couldn’t help the
Bloods get over the line in their contest against
Monash, going down to Division 2’s newest team
by 54 points. After a fi erce and closely fought
opening half, Monash, boasting a host of recruits
in the ilk of Chris Heppell and Matty Savage found
their groove, piling on goal after goal, cementing
their position in Division 2 in the process. Sam
Sheehan and the ever-consistent, ever-great Lee
Wells were sensational for the Gryphs while Viv
Butler and Hugh Griggs impressed the South
Melbourne faithful.
If you logged onto the Ammo’s website on
Saturday night, looked at the Prahran vs. Bulleen
Templestowe results, rubbed your eyes, looked

minutes, let me assure you, you weren’t alone.
After a less than mediocre season last year and
pitted against possibly the most dominant Div
3 side in the amateurs history, little hope was
given to the Bullants on Saturday. Bulleen, (now
colloquially known as the Dragon slayers) with a
plethora of new recruits, and a brutal pre-season
behind them, have arrived in Division 2, arrived
in a big way. Leading from post to post, Paul
Florance up forward headed a host of sensational
performances demolishing the once dominant
Four Blues by 16 goals. For Prahran, it was Jack
Matherson and Adam Sleight that stood tall in
very unfamiliar territory.
Today I’m tipping Prahran-Assumption to bounce
back against Emmaus St Leo’s, the Gryphs
to stamp their authority on Division 2 with a
resounding victory over the Turtles. St Mary’s vs
Bulleen Temp should be the game of the round:
BT in a close one. South Melbourne should knock
off the Trobers in Sam Atherton’s 150th and Therry
should touch up Old Paradians.

Aquinas made their fi rst game in Division 3 for
sometime a memorable one with a 25 point
victory over newcomers St. Francis Xavier. A
brilliant opening half saw the Bloods run away
to a 65 point lead and what an ordinary punter
would have thought an unassailable lead. But
in the second half the X-Men, led by Dimitri
Dimakopoulos proceeded to come back like last
night’s pizza and looked to cause a real upset.
It was not until Paul Jess and Fossil Toomey
reintroduced some sanity back into proceedings
that Aquinas got back on top and won the day.
Richmond made a promising start at a ground
they had not visited in nearly a decade leading
Elsternwick by a Major and a Lieutenant at quarter
time. Seb Angus and Ben Zelencich were playing
some super football allowing Richmond to move
the ball with precision and purpose. Some soul
searching was needed in the Wickers huddle
at the fi rst break and Alan ‘Gangsta’ Patey was
apparently overheard threatening mayhem if
Richmond’s lead blew out further. Luckily for
Gangsta the lead was dissolved and Elsternwick
were comfortable winners. Cesario’s paddock was
utilised to full eff ect with Justin Hunter and Scott
Grace kicking 14 sausage rolls between them in a
stunning display.
Ivanhoe crashed the Albert Park Party. Mali Jacobs
was in extraordinary nick for the Hoers. He was so
pleased with his fi rst half performance that he told
Coach Cole to print out an AFL Draft nomination
form. Albert Park managed to steady the ship after
the main break, Blizzard and Dallas able to get
fi rst use, but it wasn’t enough and Ivanhoe were
fi rst past the post. Ryan Fort was inspirational for
the Hoers coming up with a Polly Farmer-esque
rucking display. He had THAT many hit outs that
he was literally smoking post game.
UHS-VU went out hard against Hawthorn, and
then brought it home to win easily. The 4th placed
team in 2011 look to be a slicker collective this
year with an obvious injection of youth helping
their improvement. The Hawks were held to just
two goals in the fi rst three quarters. An eight goal
to four fi nal stanza in favour of the Hawks added
some respectability on the scoreboard. Declan
Barlow and Daniel Musil set the game up early
while Tom O’Halloran was excellent all day for
UHS-VU. David Tremewen was best for the Hawks
kicking half their goals.
Premiership favourites Yarra Valley had an
absolute day out on Power House’s home turf. The
fi rst quarter provided one of the few highlights
for the House when Gerry ‘Piggy’ Turbridy weaved
through 10 opponents to kick a magnifi cent goal.
The fact that Piggy had used the whole season’s
supply of sunscreen was most likely what made
him so evasive. After that it was all the Bushrangers.
Coach Drew whose team was noticeably fi tter than
Power House would have been proud of the way
his troops ran out the game. Another promising
sign for the Bushrangers was the way that fi rst
gamers Daniel Ricketts, Chris Hodgens and Todd
May stepped up.
Kew’s second quarter blitz set up a 66 point
victory against Old Westbourne. In a tight opening
the two teams fought hard for the ascendency,
but none could be gained. With a two point
buff er at the change of ends Ian Aitken said a
few choice words and after quarter time it was all
Kew. Michael Bailey was everywhere in an inspired
performance while Joel Keeble was outstanding
on debut. For the boys from the West it’s back

to the drawing board as they hope to open their
account against Power House this week.
This Week: Both UHS-VU and Kew were super
impressive in round one. UHS-VU are full of
confi dence after a big win last week and home
turf will get them the points today.
Yarra Valley is looking a delicious prospect for
2012 and whilst Ivanhoe was impressive last week
I can’t go past the Bushrangers at home. Match of
the round, without a shadow of a doubt.
Elsternwick take on Aquinas and will have to adapt
to the intensity the Bloods would have picked up
from Division 2 last year to win this game. I’m
tipping the Wicks to roll on in an extremely tense
clash.
Bitter rivals Hawthorn and Richmond do battle at
the Snake Pit, and I think Richmond will improve
on last week to come away with the chocolates
and the win.
St. Francis Xavier takes on Albert Park in what
could be a spiteful bout. Albert Park will need
another great performance from their midfi eld
to make it a contest, but X-men will have the fi re
power up forward to get the job done.
Old Westbourne will notch up their fi rst win for a
while in front of a massive home crowd against
Power House in another close encounter.

In sensational conditions, Opening Day brought
with it a mixed bag of results across the fi ve
games. Pre-season form and off -season recruiting
always makes the task of telling fortunes diffi cult
and this round was no diff erent. The deceptively
hot weather made the diff erence between good
and bad pre season preparations even more
noticeable.
Of the two relegated teams, Mt Lilydale enjoyed
a return to the winners list. By contrast, the
heavily fancied West Brunswick suff ered a shock
home defeat to Eley Park, which looks like it may
have the team to challenge at the pointy end of
the season.
Cellar dwellers from 2011 Manningham Cobras
and Chadstone sadly continued last year’s form,
going down comprehensively to Swinburne Uni
and Box Hill North respectively.
The upset of the round was in the battle of the
‘car trip’ which saw the South Mornington boys
undergo a 110km drive to Point Cook and blow
them out of the water in the second half to win
by 15 goals.
Box Hill North opened its account this season by
pummelling the hapless Synners by 95 points at
Elgar Park. Chadstone fans were hoping that a
new campaign would bring with it new hope but
it would seem that one week into the season and
already their season is in tatters.
Demons spearhead Dan Penny had a day out
bagging ten majors, and he was fed plenty of
quality delivery from star onballer Cam Liston as
the Box Hill North on ball brigade ran riot. James
Sutton-Sheehan was the only shining light on a
dark day for Chadstone.
In a hotly contested battle in balmy conditions
at Mt Lilydale Mercy College, the Rams got the
job done in the end over the impressive North
Brunswick line up. Max Hampton kicked ten
goals in a best on ground performance for Mt
Lilydale, which went a long way to infl uencing
the outcome of the game. For the Bulls Pat
Notaro snagged six goals whilst Dean Gee found
plenty of the ball all over the ground.
In a disappointing day for the Bulldogs in front
of a home crowd, Point Cook was belted in the
second half by South Mornington, raising large
question marks over their fi tness levels. The
Tigers kicked fi fteen goals to fi ve in the second
half with a whopping ten diff erent goal kickers
highlighting their even spread of contribution.
On a dirty day for Point Cook, Tristan Furr was
one of only a handful of Bulldogs to not have his
colours lowered. For the victors, Michael Clark
and Jesse Albrecht were the standouts.
After Saturday’s stellar performance against
quality opposition away from home, the Sharks
have stamped themselves as genuine contenders
this season. Eley Park grinded out the win after
only three goals were scored in total in the fi rst
half. The football wasn’t pretty but it was a tough,
ferociously contested game. Billy Wood and Matt
Holmes were the stars for the home side but
unfortunately for the Magpies they weren’t good
enough to get West Brunswick over the line. The
Eley Park Sharks appear to have improved even
more on last season’s fi nals appearance and with
strong performances from utility Tim Miller and
Al Renshaw they could go all the way in 2012.

19THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
Defi nitely the team to watch this season.
After bowing out of the fi nals in straight sets last
season the Razorbacks have marked this season
as a year of redemption. Their performance
on the weekend supports this drive after a
dominant ten-goal victory over the Manningham
Cobras. Off -season departures have been a worry
for Swinburne Uni but the massive contribution
by Ben Mason’s eleven goals has their worries at
ease for the meanwhile.
The football seemed to follow Zac Scrase around
St James’ Park as he racked up phenomenal
numbers. For the Cobras, Scott McPherson’s
presence up forward was encouraging as was
David Gibson’s ball winning ability in the middle.
This week’s fi xture sees the Demons head out to
North Brunswick to try and go back to back over
the Bulls. Mt Lilydale make the trek out to South
Mornington in the game of the round. West
Brunswick gets a chance to redeem themselves
against the lacklustre Chadstone away from
home. Point Cook have now got to come all the
way to Manningham and respond well to their
dismal round one performance. And in the other
juicy encounter for round three, the Sharks host
Swinburne Uni in an intriguing battle.

RESE
RVES
The Legends of the Late Morning returned last
week and not before time. It’s great to hear that
fi rst whistle pierce the air and the chatter around
the ground as all players tell themselves “here
goes” and take that fi rst step toward a premiership.
I remember those days myself, though I don’t
recall too many seasons ending in fl ags. It’s
particularly tough to win one, tougher to repeat
and tougher still to grab three or more in a row.
And it’s tougher to do in the Ressies than it is in
the seniors, because of promotion and relegation.
Unless your club is in Premier or Div 4, it’s at least
four new opponents every year.
In fi fty two seasons of Ressies, Ormond has won
a few curtain-raiser cups to go with the more
expensive silverware collected by the seniors.
The Monders have won Reserves fl ags in Premier,
Premier B and Premier C as well as the now defunct
South East Section. Its best eff ort in Premier
Reserve was a three-peat 84-86, won four on end
in Premier B 1965-68 and in Prem C Reserve in
1998 split up Old Brighton’s four fl ags.
A look at the lists of premiers is a veritable walk
down memory lane, with quite a number of
clubs amalgamating, moving or disappearing
altogether. St Pat’s Mentone (now Parkdale
Vultures) saluted in Div 4 Reserves in 1992. Uni
High (Now UHSVU) won Div 4R in 85 and twice
in the 90s. Bentleigh, Doveton, Preston Marist,
St Pius and Fawkner all chaliced at one time or
another: now they all gone.
Bank teams did OK in the warm-ups too. ES&A
won a fl ag in ’65, ANZ in 69 and 74 (all E Section
Ressies, 74 being my fi rst year with ANZ and the
VAFA.) while State Bank won Div 1 Res in ’77 and
’88 and won E South Ressies in 1997 in the merger
with Commonwealth Bank that was known as
Southbank.
Of course, the most successful bank in VAFA
football is the Bendigo Community Bank, which
wins premierships every year with its heavy and
healthy branch support of VAFA clubs.
So, a quick scan of Opening Day reveals some big
scores and some big scorers. Who topped the lot?
Rhys McConville-Brain (now there’s a great football
pedigree) slotted ten for South Mornington. Jake
Archdeacon had eight for Peninsula, Marc Brazzale
(Ivanhoe), Chris Van Dam (SFX) and Jarrod Belsey
(Therry Penola) kicked eight apiece. Tim Hunter
(Kew), Mitch Sweeney (UHS-VU), Caine Hillier (Old
Camberwell) and Tom Kennedy (Swinburne) were
in fi ne form with seven each.
About half the blokes who took the fi eld on
Saturday will have lowered their expectations
after R1. Some will realise their team is not so
great and there’ll be no fl ag this season without
a miracle. Others will have realised that their team
is great, but the time might be coming when the
coach comes over to tap the shoulder suggesting
it might be time to commence the victory lap.
Ignore it all, boys, keep it going as long as you can
because you’re retired a long time and dead even
longer.
Please let me know about any action, fun and
photographs from around the ranks of pre-noon
football. Email me on [email protected].

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012
VAFA BEIERSDORF TRAINER OF THE YEAR
Each week the VAFA will acknowledge a trainer from a club who
has worked to ensure the wellbeing of the players at their club.
The award is sponsored by Beiersdorf and the weekly winners will
receive $100 of personal care products. At the end of the season
there will be an award for the Trainer of the Year.
This week we would like to acknowledge the work done by our
trainers as part of the Big V pre-season program.
A big thank-you to Ian Wheeler, Kylie Da Fonte, Ben Seeley and
Nikki Phillips. Nikki (pictured) from Old Paradians, was the 2011
Trainer of the Year.
This week’s club Warehouse Rising Star is Jacob
Williams of De La Salle.
Jacob played all his junior football at Ashburton
Junior FC, fi nishing as captain of Ashburton Colts in
2010 and playing off in the Colts Grand Final in the
same year. In 2011 he followed his older brothers
Sam & Luke to De La Salle and after a couple of U19
games spent the rest of the season playing for the
Oakleigh Chargers TAC Cup team. He was a key
member of the team that reached the grand fi nal
against Sandringham Dragons. Jake was awarded
the Oakleigh Chargers best midfi eld award, a
wonderful achievement given the strength of that
team in 2011.
Rather than take the traditional TAC Cup path of
playing in the VFL, he returned to De La Salle this
year and played his fi rst senior game against Old
Scotch in Round 1. He was adjudged best fi eld
for De La Salle a wonderful achievement for an
18-year-old debutant.
Jacob hopes to establish himself as a senior player
at De La this season and hopefully play alongside
both his brothers in the same senior game.
* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a
player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing
his fi rst full season odf senior football.

RETR
OGeoff Reilley
12 MONTHS AGO – 2011
Old Trinity defeated Old Xaverians in Premier
A for the fi rst time in six seasons. Led by new
skipper Brendan Iezzi the run and discipline was
responsible for the hard fought win, especially
in the dying moments when the Xavs could
have taken control. Final score 9.10 to 8.8. Best
– Iezzi, Stewart, Aitken, Butler, N Hunt, J Hunt
(Trinity) and Howard, Allan, Williams, Prowse,
Lees, Smith (OX).
The match of the day in Division 1 was between
North Old Boys/St Pats and Old Mentonians
down at Mentone playing fi elds. There was
little in it all day although NOB’s held sway for
the majority of the time. When Mentonians
surged in the fi nal term NOBS held fi rm to
take the 4 points in a nail biting fi nish, 11.10 to
10.12. Best – Gill, Harwood (3), Porter, Cassell,
Keown, Tonkin (NOBS) and Johnson, Norton,
Ironmonger, Macquire, Cochrane, Snow
(Mentonians).
Ben Spencer was the leading senior ammo goal
kicker for the round when he bagged 13 for St
Francis Xavier in Division 4.
5 YEARS AGO – 2007
Old Brighton joined Old Xaverians as the only
undefeated teams in A section when they
won a very tight tussle against Old Scotch, the
fi nal term being so tense it resulted in an old
fashioned “all in”. Matt Gadsden was best for
the Tonners and Big Gerta impressive for the
Cardinals. No more than a goal the diff erence at
each change, Brighton won the contest 16.22
to 14.17. Best – Gadsden, Hendra, Perrett, Tolj,
Edge, Buckley (OB) and Gertsman, Widmer,
Nettleton, Routledge, Davis, Barton (OS).
In B Section AJAX’s inaccuracy was costly against
Marcellin Old Collegians with 12.16 falling to
match 14.9. Best – Symes, M Bortolotto, Carlson,
Abrahams, Cullinan (5), Redmond (Marcellin)
and Rapoport (5), Routman, Israelson, White,
Henzel, Ritterman (AJAX).
Steve McCarthy and Leah Gallagher were
again reporting for Umpires’ Corner as well
as controlling games as fi eld umpires of
undoubted ability and experience.
10 YEARS AGO – 2002
Brad Beitzel (pictured in umpiring days) was
the A Section scribe and was also writing the
popular column, For
The Love Of The Game
(FTLOTG). Brad correctly
described Old Xaverians
as the benchmark and
so it seemed when they
kicked 7.5 to 2.2 against
St Bernards in the fi rst
quarter and maintained
control of the game for
the rest of the day. Final
score 20.17 to 18.12.
Best – Mollard (3), Orlando (5), Ruyg, Parton (5),
Brushfi eld, Dillon (OX) and Harvey (6), Mount, L
Wilkinson, Cousland, Byrne, Legudi (StB). Rob
Sneddon and Albie Firley were the umpires in
control.
In B section, the Therry Penola versus Ormond
match went down to the wire with Ormond
triumphant 11.15 to 11.10. Best – Kelleher,
Cramly, Wilson, Miller, James, Martinov
(Ormond) and Kuret (3), Elliott, C Bannister,
Appleford, Castaldi, O’Sullivan (Therry).
Peter O’Donohue’s Life Membership of the
VAFA was highlighted in FTLOTG. Captain of
23THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
Hawthorn in the VFL from 1950 to 1952 and
that club’s senior coach in 1966, Peter came
across to the VAFA in 1970 to coach University
Blacks. His achievements included the A
Section premiership in 1974, Senior Rep coach
between 77 and 79, AAFC coach in 1979 and
service to Old Melburnians, Marcellin and La
Trobe. Peter had also served on the VAFA’s
Independent Tribunal and Permit Committee.
A great man for football is Peter O’Donohue.
20 YEARS AGO – 1992
St Bernards went to the top of the A Section
ladder after disposing of Ormond comfortably
at Ormond. Looked good early and led until just
before half time but it was St Bernard’s great
work rate that allowed them to win the second
half comfortably; fi nal score 15.17 to 105. Best –
Fraser, A Capes, J Gollant (5), Calthorpe, Wood,
P Capes (StB) and McConvill, D McDonald,
Schuhkraft (6), Orr, A Grace, Jobling (Ormond).
A Section fi eld umpires were Mark Bushfi eld,
Russell Francis, Andrew Kilner, Steve Clinch,
Richard Simon, Justin Toohey, Darren Dalgleish,
Robert Bell, Steve McCarthy and Geoff Ridd.
In an extraordinary turn around in B Section,
Monash Blues overcame a ten goal defi cit
against Banyule at half time 0.8 to 10.8. The
Blues kicked 13 goals to 3 in the second half
winning 13.17 to 13.14. Best – Hildebrand,
J Quin, Seaton, A Quin, Spencer (4), Barker
(Monash) and Turnbull, Short, Broster, Pyers,
Fidler (5), Witchell (Banyule).
30 YEARS AGO – 1982
Ormond proved too strong for Old Xaverians
in A Section 16.24 to 11.20 in a fast and furious
style of game. Best – McCooke, Ritchie, Bourke,
A Mehrten, McAsey, Kitely (Ormond) and
Steve Curtain (pictured),
Atkinson, Thomas, Ryan,
Brimacombe, Meehan.
North Brunswick ran all
over the top of Parkside in
the last quarter in D Section
17.10 to 8.18. Best – D
Demir, Spinner, D
Di Marco, Campbell,
Morritt, Strickland (NB) and B Clarke, Sweeney,
T Gard, Allen, D Clarke, Rowe (Parkside).
40 YEARS AGO – 1972
The closest game in A Section was between
Old Paradians and MHSOB. After leading at the
fi rst break, The High School boys fell behind
and were fortunate that Paradians were not
all that accurate in front of goal. Final scores
OP 13.20 to MHSOB 11.8. Best Carroll, Kyne,
Denavi, Johnson, J Tudor, Burt (OP) and De
Raad, Silberberg, Ternes, Ponton, Wilson, R
Wood (MHSOB).
In B Section, Kew were cruising at half time
but overran Tooronga Malvern in the second
half to win 17.16 to 12.13. Best – Hayes, Berry,
Aitken, Anderson, Mullin (3), Holzer (Kew) and
Cartledge, Casey, Davie (5), Cameron, Carde,
Hogan (TM).
60 YEARS AGO – 1952
Laurie Mithen (pictured)
made his debut with
Ormond Juniors, went on to
win the A Section best and
fairest the following season
and then became a star
centreman with the great
Melbourne premierships of
the 1950’s.

This week’s rising star winner Jacob Williams
caps off a big week for the family. Eighteen
year old Jacob debuted brilliantly in the clubs
spirited win against Old Scotch. Father Dick
(pictured left) took over the presidency of
De La Salle this year and offi ciated at his fi rst
President’s lunch prior to the match.
Meanwhile, brother Sam, a regular Big V under-
ager, played for Collingwood in the VFL and
was in their best.
Also at Collingwood, other VAFA Development
players Jack Hellier (SB/MT, second best, and
Matt Boland (Parkdale Vultures) who kicked
two goals. This follows up Matt’s eff ort of 6 the
previous week against Northern Blues.
The other VAFA Development player, the 2011
Club Warehouse Rising Star Dan Garside (SBMT)
debuted for Bendigo and kicked a goal.

The Oakleigh Krushers commenced the season
at Warrawee Park with a Sunday game against
University Blacks to commemorate ANZAC Day.
The day commenced with a luncheon at the
RSL hosted by Ann Barker, the local member
for Oakleigh and the secretary of the Oakleigh-
Carnegie RSL.
The guest speaker was Brigadier Keith Rossi, AM
OBE RFD ED and he spoke of the history of VFL
footballers who have represented our country in
wars. Keith is a historian for the RSL and he passed
on his amazing knowledge of the ties between
football and the World Wars where football
games were played on battlefi elds. The lunch also
celebrated the 90th anniversary of the dedication
of the Oakleigh RSL building.
Following the lunch, Ann led an ANZAC ceremony
on the ground prior to the start of the senior’s
game and after the match awarded the cup to
University Blacks who were the winners on the
day.
Other clubs will hold Anzac ceremonies this week.
L.A. Adamson, Amateurs’ president from 1896-
1932, after whom the Premier cup is named,
believed that sports should not be automatically
stopped during war. He argued in early 1915 that
“from its moral side the British love of games has
provided a magnifi cent asset to the Empire” and
that sports were both
excellent preparation
for greater confl ict
and a way of keeping
physically fi t.
Yet Adamson was
critical of the then
VFL, believing that
footballers receiving
money would be less
likely to serve their
nation on the fi elds of
battle. He argued in early 1915 that the VFL should
cease competition, and off ered as evidence that
while the 1914 VFL premier had lost one player to
war service, eighteen from the Amateur premier
had enlisted.
Adamson was also chairman of the Australian
cricket Board of Control and let fl y at the Victorian
Sheffi eld Shield team for not enlisting in the same
numbers as their New South Wales counterparts.
In response, the Melbourne Cricket Club produced
a list of its members who had enlisted and the 109
who had already died. Many of these would have
been Amateur footballers.
Dickie Adamson remains the singular most
important person in the development of the
VAFA and someone should make a movie of his
extraordinary life.

CHAMPIONS OF THE CANTEEN
One of the great traditions of VAFA football is
the club canteen that provides food to hungry
spectators and players and makes a few
welcome dollars for the club.
Many of these gourmet garages are run by
hard-working volunteers who work hard
to source the best available footy fare from
wholesalers and bring it to you at the best
price.
This week, FTLOTG focuses on Box Hill North,
where Jane runs the show at that land of hope
and glory, Elgar Park. In sunny weather, Jane
says that her ham and salad rolls are very
popular, while the colder weather means more
of her delicious roast beef rolls will be sold.
Good hot dogs, hot fresh pies and excellent
pasties are on sale too.
Send your nominations and pictures for
Champions of the Canteen to Olivia@vafa.

R 19
Week One of Under 19 Premier re-established
some widely held views. De La Salle and Old
Xaverians are going to be good. “What else is
new?” I hear you ask.
Beauy might be around the mark too. It led all
the way against Uni Blacks for a handy win to
get the season started. McDonagh booted fi ve
and was high in their best, while Sharp was a
shooter for the Varsity Noir, slotting fi ve.
Bernies went big on the Royboys. Wall kicked
eight in a best on ground performance, enough
to win it off his own boot. The Lions will improve
on this eff ort.
St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers ran away from Old
Melburnians in the last term, exhibiting greater
fi tness, fi nesse and style. Cross kicked four for
the Brindisians, while Spargo got four for the
Dark Blues.
De La was comprehensive and clinical in
its destruction of Old Scotch. It just kept
on moving away like a fi nely tuned vehicle
moving into its work. Too many grand players
to individualise for the Bellers, but Watts was
good for the Cardinals.
Xavs pumped Uni Blues, with Berengo and
Lachal kicking fi ve apiece. A nine goal second
term opened the fl oodgates. Blues came hard
in the last, but the game was gone.
Section 2
The big winners of the Section were Old
Brighton, who smacked St Kevin’s. Graham got
four for the Tonners, while Barrie did likewise
for SKOB.
Haileybury moved away from Werribee Districts
after an even fi rst half. Mitchell and last year’s
vote magnet Pinot got three apiece in the solid
fi rst outing.
Trinity threatened Caulfi eld Grammarians, but
couldn’t get them. Trailing by over three goals
at the half and six at the long break, it was a
mighty eff ort for the Greens to come back. Not
mighty enough, as the coach will no doubt tell
his charges. Stacker and Hagreaves were great
in Green, while the Fieldsmen were helped by
Vivian and three slots from Small.
Carey and Marcellin went at it all day and io
the end, the Panthers got home by four points.
Evans kicked four in the Carey win, while
Millsom steered through a quartet for the
Eagles.
U19 Section 3
Collegians tripped up PEGS with Goodman and
Hibbins (a familiar Lions name) managing four
each.
Northern Blues beat Ormond in a one-sided
aff air with Powell booting fi ve for the victors
. The Olsons battled hard for the Monders to
little avail.
Proska booted eight and Howells fi ve as the
Wellers ran away from St Bernard’s after a tight
fi rst quarter.
Mazenod atoned for last year’s GF defeat at the
hands of Old Xavs when it beat the Red and
Blacks. Harry Healey booted nine in a losing
eff ort.
U19 North
Old Geelong beat Ivanhoe in a low scoring aff air
it should have lost. The Hoers kicked 2.8 in the
fi nal stanza, which cost it dearly. De Crespigny
was a champion for the OGs while Stevie Nix
49THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
was eff ective for the vanquished.
Therry won a squeaker over La Trobe with
Calfi ore, Egglestone and Gumley doing well for
the Penolans. The Trobers led for much of the
game, but didn’t get the points.
It rained goals for Willy CYs as the Westerners
pumped AJAX. Dimitriou slotted seven and
had plenty of mates in a big fi rst up eff ort. The
Jackers wee slow to begin, but plugged away
and became more competitive as the day
progressed.
Melbourne High booted 200 in destroying
Emmaus St Leo’s. Thrre Unicorns – Melilli,
Dimitropoulos and Shearer – all kicked fi ve in
the rout.
U19 South
Beauy was too good for its neighbour Hampton
Rovers in an interesting aff air. Ballard shone
for the Sharks, while DeLisle was excellent for
Rovers.
De La Salle clipped Peninsula with McCarthy
getting four and Harvey best on ground.
Pomeroy and Rothery were excellent players for
the Pirates, who tried hard but were outclassed.
St Mary’s/Salesian is a happy place to be right
now and its win over St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers
underlines it.. Carolan kicked four, while his
team managed 14.26. O’Connor got fi ve for the
Tiges.

Milestone
We start with a big milestone this week. Former
boundary umpire and current fi eld umpire
Brendan Corcoran reaches game 350 this
weekend. Brendan has had a pretty successful
career on the boundary but has really enjoyed
his move to the centre circle in the last twelve
months. He’s umpired quite a few grand
fi nals and representative games but lists his
highlights as the 2003 A Section Grand Final,
the 1999 B Section Grand Final, and of course
the “Game of the Century” 2006 C Section grand
Final. Brendan has also had an involvement
off the fi eld and for many years served as
Captain Blood for the VAFAUA encouraging and
organising group visits to the Blood Bank. Well
done Brendan, have a great day and hopefully
there’s many more to come.
Family Football
As we all know the VAFA certainly promotes
family aspect of the game, and here at the
VAFAUA we are leading that charge. Last week
in an under 19 game we saw young Bridget
Morton make her debut as a boundary umpire.
(Photo below) Big brother Jarryd ran the other
boundary and of course eldest brother Nathan
was one of the fi eld umpires. Not forgetting
dad Brett who was waving the fl ags in Premier
B. Hopefully mum will join them soon? Made
us think of all the others we have out there.
UMPI
RES Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson
WELCOME BACK!Brother and sister fi eld umpires Damien and
Alex Anthony. Sister fi eld umpires Jayde and
Tayla Daly. Brother fi eld umpires Russell and
Cam Davidson. Father and son fi eld umpires
Peter James and Julian Maccioni. Father
and son Colin (goal) and Ben (fi eld) McElwee.
Father Byron (goal) and sons Alex and William
(boundary) Sedgwick. How could we leave out
the fi rst family of VAFA football the Scullys?
Father and son fi eld umpires Sean senior and
junior are out there each week and of course
a couple of years ago we even had Dan in the
goals and James on the boundary. Apologies if
we’ve left any out. Please let us know.
Well done to the VAFAUA and its members for
creating such a welcoming and family friendly
environment.
After match Paperwork
Last week was our fi rst attempt at the new online
system. A few little glitches but all in all it went
pretty well. Give it a chance and we’re sure it will
all start to fall into place. A big thank you to our
president Luke Holmes who has spent hours and
hours of his own time designing and conducting
training sessions on the system.

R 18
The U18 results are often a case of watch this space.
Teams can vary in strength, clubs apply diff erent
selection policies and one can never quite be sure
how the day will pan out – particularly for Round
1.
Werribee Districts and Rupertswood battled it out
all afternoon and goals were hard to come by. The
Bees managed three in the fi nal term and that was
enough (just) to win by the narrowest.
St Bernard’s did it in style against Williamstown
CYMS, which did not draw twin calicos until the
fi nal stanza. Russell kicked six for the Snow Dogs,
who barked loudly with fourteen second half
goals.
What is going on at St Mary’s Salesian? What a
week it had and the U18 team joined in the fun
with a 114 point munching of UHSVU/Flemington.
Most of the damage was done early, with the Saints
going to half-time leading by 84. In the second
half, the Combine provided a better contest, but
could not prevent further seepage.
This week, Oakleigh meets Rupertswood. On
exposed form, I’d take the ‘woods, but who knows.
The Combine hosts St Bernard’s and the Snow
dogs make make short work of a short trip. The
Bees host St Mary’s Salesian and I’m picking the
visitors to continue the club’s grand start to the
season.

II Norm Nugent
Section 1.
Near neighbours Therry Penola and North
Old Boys/ St Patrick’s met at the Fawkner
Reserve in what became a one sided aff air as
the visitors from Brunswick ran out eighty
three point winners. Two of the 2011 fi nalists
in Old Melburnians and Old Xaverians played
an evenly contested game at Albert Park. The
home side led early but a third quarter lapse
saw the Xaverians wrest the initiative and
build a lead which they held until the fi nal
siren. Victory thus came to the “Crocodiles”
by ten points. The much vaunted Prahran/
Assumption started with a big win over Old
Ivanhoe, who fi nished ten goals in arrears. This
victory in some ways compensated for the Four
Blues’ Division 2 losses. The closest game of the
day was that at Monash where the Blues ran
reigning premiers De La Salle to four points in
a nail-biting fi nish. Williamstown CYMS proved
too good for Fitzroy and won by twenty two
points. St Bernard’s overpowered an inaccurate
Ivanhoe to win by seventy points.
Section 2
Therry Penola opened with a resounding win
over UHSVU The ex students, who managed
just one goal lost by one hundred and nine
points. Likely fi nalists, Hawthorn commenced
their sophomore season with a seventy one
point win over Old Geelong. Kew, won their
comeback game against Richmond Central
“Snakes” by twenty four points. Newcomers,
Eley Park proved no match for the returning
Bulleen Templestowe which won by one
hundred and fi fteen points. In the afternoon
match, Old Paradians went down by fi fty four
points at Bartlett Reserve, to Richmond Central
“Cardinals”.
Preview of Round 2
Section 1
The clash of the Round will be that between
last season’s Grand Finalists at Darling Park.
De La Salle will unfurl their fl ag while the Old
Xaverians watch and contemplate what might
have been. A close encounter should ensue
before I believe the Xaverians will again emerge
with a narrow victory. It is hard to select the
winner of the Ivanhoe and Fitzroy match as
both teams lost last week. Traditionally Ivanhoe
Park has proven to be a losing venue for visitors
across the eight Sections in which Ivanhoe has
competed. For no other reason than history,
I select Ivanhoe. Two R1 winners North Old
Boys/ St Patrick’s and St Bernard’s meet on the
Gillon Oval. Home ground advantage I believe
will enable a narrow Combine victory. Monash
Blues visit Old Ivanhoe for another match
between two Round 1 losers. I lean to Monash
as their form last week was better than that of
Old Ivanhoe. Two of the 2011 fi nalists meet in
Albert Park when Prahran/ Assumption visit Old
Melburnians. Although the Four Blues won well

last week; Old Melburnians did show a lot of skill
in their display against Old Xaverians and for
this reason they are my selection. Williamsown
CYMS should win again as their form last week
was far better than that displayed by today’s
opponents, Therry Penola.
Section 2
Bulleen Templestowe should outplay Richmond
Central Snakes and win its second game for the
season. Out east, Hawthorn should record a
big win over Eley Park. I suspect Kew will play
close to its Old Geelong opponents and that
its strength will see the home side triumph. In
the early match, I select Old Paradians to defeat
UHSVU., which again has experienced diffi culty
scoring goals. At home, I favour Therry Penola
to defeat Richmond Central Cardinals because
the Fawkner Oval has presented great diffi culty
to visitors over many seasons.
