28 APRIL SEASON 2012

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

go to: http://m.vafa.livescores.redtxt.com.au

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.

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.

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

again, pinched yourself and repeated for 5

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.

A big thank-you to the clubs that have provided

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.

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.

LIVE SCORES OFF TO A GREAT START

The RedTxt Live Score service proved popular with VAFA fans, with over 1,400 following

round One on their phones. This year, all fans of VAFA clubs can follow the scores as they

happen on their Smart phone (ie, any phone that can connect to the internet, eg. iPhone,

Blackberry, iPad etc).

If you don’t have the service, please connect you phone to

m.vafa.livescores.redtxt.com.au

and follow the prompts.

Numbers will soar when all clubs comply with the directive for time to kept on an

iPhone or iPad. In Round 1, Premier C had all fi ve games going out live. Divisions One

and Two had good percentages of clubs using the system, while Premier and

particularly Premier C lagged badly.

If your club’s score is not appearing, talk to your club.

43THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

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.

CLUB

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.
