Seniors avenge the losses by the Under 19’sand C – D4This Saturday sees the half way mark of the season anda time when we get a true assessment of the fortunes ofour teams. Getting yourself on the positive side wouldbe an objective for most at the beginning of the season.I am delighted with the competitiveness of each of thegrades and in particular have been thrilled with the waythe promoted sides have handled themselves in recenttimes.

This has been particularly evident in A Section whereover the past few seasons we have seen promoted sidesOld Brighton, Collegians and this year St Bede’sMentone Tigers add depth to this level and would behopeful of securing a top four spot.

Last weekend the VAFA took a huge undertaking byplaying three matches in three states. A difficultlogistical exercise and a real stretch on the resources andvolunteers of the VAFA. It is the desire of the Board toensure all players get access to representative football andthis was achieved with the Under19’s, C – D4 and theSeniors all representing the Association.

Whether we have the right partnerships is anotherquestion as we were disappointed to go down by suchlarge margins in the Under 19’s and the C – D4 teams.However a determined win by the seniors rescued theweekend for the VAFA.

Most competitions around the country do not have anunder19 competition so securing a partner was difficult.AFL Queensland agreed as long as they could playUnder 21’s. We agreed however the strength of theirteam has grown over the past 3 years to such a state thatwe were defeated by 20 goals last Saturday. Our playershave on average played about 5 senior games.Queensland, on the other hand, had a number of playerswho have played well over 50 senior games. Add to thisthe greater physical development that occurs during

those two years and it is understandable that the resultwas obtained.

A number of the players from Queensland aredevelopment players who have been targeted by the AFLand brought from the far regions of the state to join eliteprograms. Therefore it is necessary for them to have thisgame at this age level as it gives these players valuableexperiences and a last chance to get drafted.

Out of these games Sam Gilbert was drafted by St Kildain 2006 and last year John Williams was picked up byEssendon.

The dilemma facing the football sub-committee is do wecontinue to provide a representative match for ourjunior competition or do we increase the age to under 21to ensure a more competitive game? This match is awonderful opportunity for our players to get toexperience football in another state and also play againstan elite AFL system.

The home match was played between our C – D4competition against the VCFL district competitions.This is the second level in the country and consists of 26leagues. This is again a very difficult assignment for usas we are choosing from only 5 divisions.

Whilst in no way am I making excuses for our teamsperformances it is vital that we have competitive gameson a level playing field.

I would like to formally record the VAFA’s appreciationto Dean Anderson (Senior), Mark Lowe (C – D4) andJustin Pickering (Under 19’s) on coaching theirrespective teams. It is an exhaustive campaign and theVAFA were delighted with their efforts. Thanks also toall the selectors, managers and medical staff who gave sofreely of their time.

The Under 23 match against SA is played during the A– C bye weekend on July 19 and we look forward togiving another group of players the opportunity to pullon the Big V and square the ledger for the season.

Sunday’s game atheadquarters bydashing on to the field.Unfortunately, theyweren’t the onlybehinds that day as OldIvanhoe effectively kicked themselves out of contentionwith a string of minors. SShhaarrkkaa PPrriiccee and JJaarrrrooddGGiieesscchheenn were best for them while Sam Anstey andPPeetteerr MMccggeettttiiggaann shone for the Tigers, who arebeginning to build an ominous record at SportscoverArena. In the final match, Scotch saw off a determinedTrinity side, with SSaamm TThhoommssoonn best a field for theCardinals and BBrreennddaann IIeezzzzii returning to his 2007 formfor the battling Ts.

Today’s GamesTwo years ago, Scotch were six and zip, riding high andready to take down the struggling Xavs at ScotchCollege. Of course, Xavs walloped them and turned theirseason around while Scotch struggled to win a game forthe next 18-months. Circumstances aren’t as black andwhite today but the stakes are high and I fancy the Xavsagainst their despised nemesis. The other standout is Bayside, where Old Brighton arehosting a massive lunch to kick-start what they hope willbe another memorable day, this time against ladderleaders Collegians. And despite questions marks aplentyhanging over some key players, I reckon Brighton are ared-hot chance to win this.In the other games, let’s tip St Bede’s to roll Uni Blacks,Blues to just beat Ivanhoe and De La to get the better ofOld Trinity.

Turtle Bags Ten, ‘Tonners Bag FourthTTiimm CCllaarrkkee.. Now there’s a glaring omission from theTop 50 if I ever saw one. And after he kicked 10 in alosing team, it just rubbed it in that little bit more. Clarkeis a funny sort of player – not tall enough to be classifiedas a spearhead and not quick enough to be yourstandard forward flanker but his footskills are flawlessand he has a knack of finding the right spaces. Hisincredible performance aside, this day was all about OldBrighton, who stamped themselves as bona fide finalscontenders. 30 plus possessions to MMccGGuuiinnnneessss andPPeerrrreetttt, a great defensive job by second gamer JonPriestly and another imposing game from TToommMMeennttiippllaayy were the highlights for the ‘Tonners. Threepretty serious injuries in time-on in the last quarter puta slight dampener on things but it was one hell of a day.

As predicted, you’ve never seen a man struggle more fora park at Albert Park than your A Section scribe. It waslike that scene in ‘The Club’ where a flustered Ted Parkerturns in one of the all time worst driving performances(“I think we should just remain calm Gerry…”) Anyway,by the time I got to the HHaarrrryy TTrrootttt, Collegians were wellin control and big FFeerrgguuss was all over PPeetteerr SStteeeellee, oneof the best defenders in the amateurs. Collegians play achipping, stop-start sort of a game but they know howto look for their stars and they also play their homeground a treat. It was my first really good at Uni thisyear and they seem to lack a bit of height and muscle.Then again, they have a habit of bobbing up (and indeed,going under) when you least expect it, so maybe weshould all reserve judgement and let them do their thing.

LLiieesseell JJoonneess, one of the world’s finest female athletes ofrecent years, was on hand at Melbourne Uni to beholdthe work of noted swimming aficionado JJeeffff MMoorreell. Ohshucks no she wasn’t, she was there to support partnerMMaarrttiinn PPaasskk, who responded in kind by turning one onin the first term as his side kicked six of the first sevengoals of the game. But De La did some rearranging andran all over the hapless Blacks, whose season has beenderailed by injury upon injury. Two absolute standoutswere noted hard-nut AAaarroonn SShhiieellddss, who won a stack ofcontested ball and spearhead MMaatttt MMoooorree, who can be abit hit and miss but was certainly on song this day, withten match winning majors.

Two nude men (one of whom was NOT TToomm BBrraaiinn,, ashas been reported in some circles) who had probablybeen on the sauce all weekend, decided to upstage

Since returning fromSandringham in 2006 as a dual premiership player,Matt has been an inspirational leader at our club withhis fearless and skilful play in many positions.Variously used as a running half-back, a specialistdefender to close down a star opponent or anattacking mid-fielder, Matt carries out his tasks with aminimum of fuss and a huge dose of class. Blessedwith speed and lightning reflexes, Matt oftenproduces something special to turn a game our way,and we salute him today for his achievement. Welldone Matty!

kicked themselves out ofthe match and going downby 21 points – after having4 four more scoring shotsand secured last spot onthe ladder. AAnnddrreeww SSlleevviissoonn up forward proved the differencebetween the two sides as he kicked 4 invaluable goals forCaulfield and GGaavviinn WWiinntteerr and DDaarrccyy DDaallyy were amongst thestand outs. I am not too sure what hurt Beaumaris the most. The finalscore or current petrol prices as they did the long trek to the‘Snake Pit’. Tate Pearson once again proved that he has animpact on opposition defenders by kicking 5 goals and CCaallllaannPPootttteerr came back into the side and added further strength alsowith a 5 goal haul for St Bernards. Showing no mercy StBernards ripped into the game with a smashing 7.7 in the firstquarter and a 56 point lead at half time. Outscoring StBernards slightly in the third and fourth quarters, Beaumarisgave some glimpses of improvement to come as KKeellvviinnBBaarrnneess kicked 4 goals and NNiicckk HHeennrryy continued to run in allday in a losing side.

TODAY:Caulfield Grammarians v Old EssendonNobody can deny the improvement in performance and attitudelately by the Caulfield stable but they meet a class act here. TheBombers are averaging more than 31 shots at goal this seasonand Caulfield only 21 that gives the suggestion that the OEG’swill go into the season undefeated at half way by 48 points.Reserves: Does not appear likely that the Caulfield reserves willimprove on their one win for the season and it’s the Bombersfor mine by 68 points.

Old Camberwell v Old HaileyburyHaileybury are on a hat-trick for losses as Camberwell are backto playing at the ground that have given them their 2 wins forthe season. The statistics say that Haileybury will be victoriousbut I am not of that opinion. Both sides have met the verystrong Marcellin in the last two weeks and Old Camberwellshowed a lot more promise in their game. Old Camberwell by12 points. Reserves: Haileybury once again on another losinghat-trick as the club would give anything for a win. Not to bethough and Camberwell by 23 points.

Marcellin v Old MelburniansAt home and winners in 6 of their last 7 games, Marcellin are‘absolute morals’ against Old Melburnians. The Eaglespercentage is more than double of their opposition and theyaverage over 97 points per game they play whilst theMelburnians can only manage a little more than 71. The gamewill be a blow out on the score board and the Eagles by 82points. Reserves: Winners in 4 of their last 5 matches, onlylosing to the strong St Kevin’s, Marcellin look the morethreatening of the two. In a game that will be a lot tightercontest than the seniors, the Eagles again by 27 points.

St Kevin’s v St BernardsSt Bernards start far too well for St Kevin’s. A standard half timescore line this season is about 58 points for the Bernards whilstSt Kevin’s is only 37. When you factor into account that theBernard’s average full time score is 117 and St Kevin’s is only78, then not even the home ground advantage can help StKevin’s. I make it St Bernards to win by 46 points. Reserves:Match of the Round!! First plays second with nothing betweenthem and you got to get there early for this one. Too hard to split– Draw!!

Beaumaris v Old CareyAt VAFA head quarters with Carey number 1 for the lowestscoring team in B Section and Beauy number 2 for most pointsscored against. Carey has lost their last 3 as the Sharks havelost their last 4. Does not write the script for a classic match butit does tip toward a tough contest where both sides must takeadvantage of the 4 premiership points on offer. The Sharksstronger scoring power looks to be the difference and theSharks to break the losing streak by 13 points. Reserves: Afterwinning their first 2 matches, Old Carey has lost their last 6outings. The Sharks have lost their last 3 but should be goodenough by 8 points.

8 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV

B SECTIONby Matt Cosgriff

The cream is really starting to rise to the top as the top threeteams in the B Section competition stamped their authority withhigh scoring and convincing victories in round 8. The cluster atthe bottom of the ladder still has the question of who will be theimprover in the second half of the season and one game had thefinish that not even Steven Spielberg could have produced whenSt Kevin’s went to Haileybury.Scrappy, tight and physical were the three attributes thatportrayed the low scoring affair between St Kevin’s and OldHaileybury. By half time St Kevin’s had only kicked 1 goal withthe locals comfortably holding them at bay. With 2 goals eachin the third quarter the 28 point lead to Haileybury at the lastchange looked sustainable. However as they have only kickeda total of 9 last quarter goals in their last 4 four matches, StKevin’s were still in the game. In the words of Hong Kong racecaller DDaarrrreenn FFlliinnddeellll, Old Haileybury ‘stopped like a Baliwatch’ and St Kevin’s kicked 8.5 to steal the match and win by7 points in a miraculous come back. JJoosshh MMaahhoonneeyy provedhis worth for St Kevin’s as he kicked 4 goals and AAnntthhoonnyyLLyynncchh was best afield. The score at the first bounce was the closest that Old Carey gotto Old Essendon as the Bombers handed the home team aclinic. Straighter kicking would have made the score line morepunishing but the result was well beyond doubt at half time asOEG led by 65 points with 20 more scoring shots. A big secondhalf from the OEG goal kicking machines in JJaammeess CCoonnddooss andLachlan Teal who combined kicked more than the oppositionand DDeeaann BBiiggggss etched closer to the club best and fairest withanother best on ground performance. The final siren soundingwas the best thing the Carey fraternity heard all day as itprevented further carnage and Old Essendon ran outresounding 97 point victors. That man CCaammeerroonn MMaaccllaarreenn once again turned the show onfor the spectators as he fired the footy 7 times through the bigsticks for the Eagles. His off sider, GGiiaannlluuccaann RRoommaanniinn is stillyet to remain goalless when he plays as he kicked 6 in what isbecoming an unstoppable combination for Marcellin. OldCamberwell who are finding it tough to win set the tone early asthe first change had them within a couple of goals. Although theEagles are literally flying at the moment and the 11 goals in thesecond and third quarters just broke the hearts of Camberwellwho showed some tenacity in the final term but went down by40 points. RRoorryy HHiillttoonn and MMaatttthheeww PPaarrttiinnggttoonn cannot bequestioned over their efforts lately as they both snagged 3 goalseach and TTrriissttaann BBeerreennggeerr and AAnnddrreeww CCllaarrkkee kept the ballgoing forward all day for the OC. Things have to be going your way when ex-AFL premiershipplayers join your club to help like Caulfield Grammarians foundand things are definitely going your way when you only have 15scoring shots to 22 at ¾ time yet you are 3 points in front. OldMelburnians could not have chosen a worse game to be aswayward in front of goal as they were against the Grammariansas they desperately seek an outlet from the bottom of the ladder.The final score line was a train wreck for the home side as they

M I L E S T O N E SMILESTONESOOlldd CCaarreeyy congratulate PPaauull GGrraahhaamm on playing his 115500tthhgame this week and thus achieving life membership at theclub. Since arriving shortly after leaving the school, PG hasbeen a stalwart of the club over the years, despite oftenkeeping us guessing as to his next movements, both on andoff the field! PG has stepped up to take on the role ofsecretary this year, and in combination with this, we lookingforward to seeing many more of his dashing runs out of thebackline over the years ahead.SSKKOOBB congratulate MMiicchhaaeell MMaagguuiirree on finally reachinggame 110000 this weekend. "Sticks", originally from the school,came across to SKOB from NOBs in 2001. A two timepremiership player with the reserves in 04 & 07, the popularclubmen is renowned as having the best long left foot at theclub. SKOB also congratulate JJuulliiaann ""CChhuucckklleess"" CChhaarrlleessand MMaarrkk MMaazzzzaarreellllaa for notching up their 5500tthh ggaammeess..Chuckles has been playing great footy for the seniors sincereturning from a jaw injury with his pace and evasiveness ahighlight. Mazza is always a regular sharpshooter for thereserves and has played several senior games over the pasttwo years.

COACHES’ CLIPBOARDAFCA/VAFA

A.F.C. V.A.F.A.

“Your Coaches’ Association”

THE THREE PHASES OF COACHINGI always have a quiet chuckle when I hear someone come back from a huddle after listening to a coach andthen making a judgement as to whether or not the coach is any good. A rousing speech that captivates theaudience means he is all right where as general ramblings that lack any spark or instruction means he is nogood. The few minute speech to your players at the break makes up a very small part of your overall coachingpreparation, which in most cases started about 10 minutes after the previous week’s game.I have given some great speeches and coached terribly and spoken poorly and coached very well.Coaching in the VAFA is an extremely challenging and demanding task which requires a wide range of skills.For a club to engage a coach who is good at all aspects of coaching is rare and therefore recognising what yourclub needs and a coach’s strengths and weaknesses is crucial. I believe there are three clear phases to being asenior coach in the VAFA and not all coaches are strong in all phases.

THE THREE PHASES ARE:Post season, Pre season and In season.

Post season – I define it as thetime from immediately after theseason up until Christmas. Thistime can be crucial for clubspreparing for the next year andreviews of all areas are carried outand changes to structures can beput in place. It is also a time whennew assistants can be recruited andalso potential players are courted.I can remember doing formal sitdown interviews after the 2006season with a large number ofplayers and giving feedback as towhat they could do in the offseason to improve. The interviewswere also a time for the players toshare some thoughts of where theywere at and for the coaching staffto find out about the players plansand goals for the next season. Atthe very least, it can make theplayers feel valued and it also canprevent the surprise of turning upin the first week of training andwondering where all your playersare. A pro-active approach duringthis period can set up success forthe next year. I would love a dollarfor every player who hascomplained about not beingcontacted by their club in the offseason.

Pre-Season – I define this as theperiod from Christmas to the startof the season. This is the time wherethe planning skills of a coach willcome to the fore. Maintainingattendance records, organisingvenues for training, practicematches and ensuring that theprogram is both meaningful andchallenging is an underestimated artform. Also liaising withstakeholders (eg cricket clubs,councils etc) is a part of this phaseas is effective delegation of tasks.What do your assistants do in theinitial stages where there isobviously a greater emphasis onfitness? I have seen many examplesof sloppy organisation which hasleft a club without a training venueor a practice match.Similarly, there have been manyexamples of teams ill-prepared duethe pre-season not being hardenough or doing the wrong type oftraining. You generally reap whatyou sow.

In-Season – Probably the mostvisible phase of coaching. Somecoaches have excellent match dayskills and can also prepare sidesvery well to play against certainopposition. I have seen somecoaches who are brilliant onmatch day and struggle in mostother areas but can prepare theirteams very well. Givingappropriate feedback to playersduring the week, getting potentialmatch ups right, selecting theright side (an underestimatedaspect of coaching!) andmanaging your list to enablethem to win at the most importanttime of the year. Other crucialaspects of being a good in-seasoncoach include being able to reacton match day to changingcircumstances (ie weather,surprises from the opposition)and to be able to handle bothwinning and losing with equaldignity.

Coaching is a complex mix of wide ranging skills and very fewcoaches will tick all the boxes. It is vital that both the club andthe coach identify strengths and weaknesses and then put peoplein place to enable the coaching jigsaw to become complete.

Newcomer KKyyee CChheerriiaanndid well and GGrraannttCChheessssaarrii did well in hisbattle with MMaarrttiinnoovv..MMiicckk DDaavviiddssoonn stitchedup a VAFA jumper withanother belter across half-back, but he was kept too busyby the Monders, who again were impressed with JJuussttiinnHHooggggaann on the wing (kicking one of the longest goals atOrmond in a long time).

Nodders comfortable in local stoushBit quiet on this one, where the Nodders put in a fantasticfirst three quarters and were well and truly in front at threequarter time, leading by a lazy 10 goals. It was duly notedthat both AAsshh KKiittttss and TTrreevv BBrroommlleeyy was kept goal-lessfor the Krushers, leaving them light on for scoring power,despite a great effort by SStteepphheenn DDoohheerrttyy. Mazenod’s clearwinners were TTiimm BBoouurrbboonn,, MMiicckk CChhaammbbeerrllaaiinn, andSSttuuaarrtt IInngglliiss, and a few of their guns watched the finalterm from the comfort of the pine.

Vultures swoop home over disappointing HighWith less than a kick in it at the final break, this oneloomed as a classic finish – but someone forgot to tell theUnicorns there was another quarter of footy to play.Parkdale ran berserk and it ballooned out to a 50 pointbelting!!!

Drought broken in Koonung calamityYou’d have thought the Friars lads would be cock-a-hoopafter chalking up their first win of the season, buteverything’s been quiet out atDonvale….well….Koonung….in the past 2 weeks. Fairenough – one swallow doesn’t make a summer, but thebattle at the bottom now looks even more intriguingdoesn’t it? No longer a race to avoid 9th, its more a 3 wayrace to avoid the drop!! As for Rupo, well they’re only 6points adrift of

ROUND 9 PREVIEWHampton –v- WhitefriarsMaybe the reason for muted joy at Friar Park over the break– they knew what was waiting for them in round 9. Won’tbe all one-way traffic though. I’d expect a solid first halffrom the visitors, with SSwwaaiinn,, BBrroossoolloo,, PPoowweerr and JJaannsseennrelied upon to lead the younger brigade. Rovers should runaway with this one though, probably by 8+ goals.

Ormond –v- ParkdaleClearly the most intriguing match of the day, where we pitthe class of Rochford at one end against the experience andpower of MMaarrttiinnoovv and RRoobbbbiinnss at the other. Ormond willneed to hold down CHB in order to deny the Vultures anavenue to goal. Expect RRoocchhffoorrdd to play deep, and the tightground should suit the Vulture midfield. Tempted to tip anupset, but it should be Ormond in a thriller by 4 points.

Monash –v- MazenodBit of a tough one here as both teams are consistentlyinconsistent. Monash traditionally have a tendency to uniteas a team in the middle weeks of a season, especially aftermid-June, whilst Mazenod are running hot and cold. I havea funny feeling it’ll be cold this week. Ashers by 3 goals.

Rupertswood –v- OakleighHaving had 2 weeks to digest their respective losses, oneof these teams will bounce back (unless it’s a draw). Rupoat home should be a 4 to 5 goal better team, and that’sexactly what they’ll need to get this one done. Rupo by 2points.

AJAX –v- MHSOBB section last year must seem so far away for both theseteams, neither of whom would be pleased with theirpositioning thus far. I’ll have to stick with the Jackas’pattern here, which means another W coming up. AJAX by13 points.

C SECTIONby Fraser Cameron

ROUND 8 REVIEWAhh, the old celebration of Queen (Victoria)’s Birthdayalways brings the VAFA its traditional weekend off to co-incide with the opening of the ski season. Sadly, nary aflake of natural stuff could be detected in the Alps, so wepresume there weren’t any season ending knee injurieswhilst trying out the new board or skis last weekend.Unfortunately, in the C-D4 match against the VCFL,Prahran’s playing coach PPaauull GGrreeeennhhaamm suffered that fateafter kicking a sweet 3 goals in the first term for the Vics,before an opposition player fell across his knee. Whilst notparticipating in C grade, our thoughts go out to Greeny ashe’s a great VAFA person, and quite a few of the C sectionclubs would’ve played against him over the years. Best ofluck in your recovery Paul.Now back to the footy. Well, not only did us players havea week off, but (understandably so) a few clubs’correspondents followed suit! Hence, the review will be alittle briefer than usual, and we’ll focus more heavily on thecritical round 9 clashes ahead.

Rovers miles ahead of the packAJAX appeared to have its strongest side for the year in itsmatch of the day against the undefeated Hampton Rovers,who welcomed back several VFL listed players to theirsquad, and then played a brilliant brand of football toconfirm their title of flag favourites. In each quarter AJAXchallenged, however the Rovers always had answers in adisciplined display. Early on GGaarryy BBlliieeddeenn and RRuubbiinnWWiinnooggrraadd were constructive but the forward line otherthan JJeerreemmyy DDuukkeess was unable to apply scoreboardpressure. For the Rovers GGuuyy MMaarrttyynn effectively did as hepleased in the pivot, and then up forward where herammed home 7 majors. Trailing by 38 points at the finalbreak, AJAX threw everything into the first 10 minutes, butthey couldn’t really put much of a dent in the margin asSSttuueeyy BBuurrggggrraaaaffff and LLuukkee DDaallllaass led the home side on amerry dance to a massive 12 goal win.

Monders ominous as Ashers stumbleThe Ashers enjoyed a great start and should haveestablished closer to a 5 goal buffer at first change.However, a red card to key big man AAaarroonn WWiill lliiaammssopened the door for the Monders, who used the time in thehuddle to plan for the extra player (probably a choicebetween DDiiggggeerr and DDaavvee RRoobbbbiinnss) and they enable to getthe ball into the reliable hands of MMaattttyy RRoobbbbiinnss oftenenough for him to kick 4 or their 9 goals for the secondterm. Monash regrouped at half time with Williams back inthe fray but could not convert any early chances in the 3rd.

20 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV

showing that there isquality in the 'lower'sections of VAFAfootball.

ROUND NINE PREVIEWBulleen Templestowe travel to Ringwood for theirgame against Aquinas OC. The Bullants were wellrepresented in last week's VAFA v. VCFL match, andpound for pound, player for player, have arguably themost talented list in this section, with quality on eachline. However, it is their attack that make themparticularly dangerous, as shown by them blowingaway the otherwise stingy Reds defence early on lasttime out. Both DDeeaann MMaatttthheewwss and PPeetteerr VVoogglliiss are ina four way tie for second in the goalkicking with 28goals each, while Aquinas' leader MMiicchhaaeell CCaarrddaammoonneesits outside the top ten with 16 goals. In short, I thinkthe visitors have too many weapons. Bullants for me.It's top against bottom at Domeney Reserve as YarraValley OB host NOB/SPC. 8-0 versus 0-8. On paper itappeared fait accompli, but stranger things havehappened. The Bushrangers' JJaammeess KKeeeemm, againstthe odds, still leads the section goalkicking, and heshould prove to be good value against whomever getsthe job on him (perhaps CChhrriiss HHoosskkiinngg may get firstcrack?). The home side will find it harder to cover themultiplicity of Cobber forward options (MMiicchhaaeellBBaarrkkeerr, TTiimm BBrraaddyy, KKyyllee AAddaammss, SSiimmoonn HHaarrwwoooodd andPPaauull BBrryyaarr all have double figures and a 2+ goals pergame this year) and this may prove to be their breakingpoint. Cobbers to keep it going. Peninsula OB make the long journey to LindsayHassett Oval to take on South Melbourne Districts.The Pirates have done better thus far this year thanmany people (yes, including me) expected, whileSouth look like they have found their feet at this leveland should be a team to look out for as we head intothe second half of the season. This game could welldecide whether or not these teams will stay in finalscontention, or scrambling for survival. Both teamshave a comparable form line over recent weeks, but Ithink the pedigree of the Bloods' result, coupled withhome ground advantage, should see them over theline. Districts it is then.Two of 2007's D1 finalists, currently facing leanertimes, square off as Prahran entertain Old Mentoniansat Toorak Park. Prahran got their first win in a whilelast round, halting a five game losing streak, and it willbe interesting to see how the break affects their

ROUND EIGHT REVIEWNorth Old Boys/St. Patrick's College preserved theirperfect record with a hard fought 24 point win over apersisent Peninsula OB at Gillon Oval. At times, itlooked as if the Pirates were a chance of stealing thegame from the Cobbers, but just as they appeared togain the upper hand, the home side would respond.Will Coghlan was a classy presence for the Pirates inthe middle of the park, while the Cobbers were wellserved by stalwarts TToomm OO''HHaalllloorraann,, CChhrriiss HHoosskkiinnggand SSccootttt SSlleeeepp in his 200th game.The so-called premiership quarter was indeed thedecisive term at the Playing Fields, as SouthMelbourne Districts kicked six goals to one, toovercome Old Mentonians by 24 points (hmmm...).Ruckman GGaarreetthh SSnnooww, half back MMiicckk MMccCClloosskkeeyy andfull back TTrreenntt MMiittvvaallsskkyy did well for the Panthers,while for South, AAnnddrreeww HHaannnnaann and RRyyaann GGiinnggeellllhad probably their best games for the season.A fast start by Bulleen Templestowe proved to be vitalas they defeated Fitzroy Reds at Ted Ajani Reserveby...you guessed it, 24 points. The Bullants' efficient,open play, driven by CCaamm AAzzeerr and MMaarrkk PPiieettrryykk andfinished off by DDeeaann MMaatttthheewwss, was in stark contrastto the arm wrestle of the second half. DDaann DDyynnoonn andAAll TTeehhaann kept the Bullants' defence tight enough towithstand the Reds' second half superiority. Thecolourful NNiicckk PPeerrccyy kicked four majors for the Reds.In other games (i.e. those not decided by 24 points),Prahran won in a shootout by 32 points over AquinasOC in Ringwood, with Two Blues playing coach PPaauullGGrreeeennhhaamm''ss nine goals especially notable. At ComoPark, Old Geelong set the scene with a 10 goal firstquarter, and barely let up from there, eventuallydefeating Yarra Valley OB by 117 points.Also, congratulations to all the D1 Section boys whogained selection in the VAFA (C-D4) rep. team lastweekend (and there was certainly a healthycompliment of D1 players in that team). A pity theresult didn't go the way we would've liked, buthopefully a few players impressed observers anyway,

"momentum" (well, as much as you can get after onewin). The Panthers have been somewhat toothless inrecent weeks, and whilst I'm tempted to think they maybite back, but I think that at home, the Two Blues cando the business today. Two Blues for mine.Finally, Fitzroy Reds clash with Old Geelong atBrunswick Street Oval in a battle between third andfourth place respectively. I think the Reds will learnfrom their previous outing and be up for the contestfrom the start, as they certainly were a better team inthe second half. Again, it's just a question of wherethe goals will come from. The Oggers are a potentattacking force, and will play a freewheeling brand offootball, which could well become unstuck against aReds defence generally tighter than a Scotsman'swallet (look, I'm of Scottish background - I can saythese things!). Tough call, but I think the Reds willprevail in an arm wrestle.

VAFA UMPIRES APPRECIATION DAYThis Saturday the 14th June 2008 we will seesomething that is a first in VAFA football, an“Umpires Appreciation Day”.

“What a wonderful initiative this is which will go a long wayto assisting with recruitment & retention of umpires” statesVAFA General Manager of Umpire Operations BrianGoodman.

VAFA club Williamstown CYMS, with the backing of theVictorian Amateur Football Association Board, is doing itspart to show appreciation for the work the umpires do. The D3 section club has planned a day especially for Umpires this Saturday at the Fearon Reserve when they takeon La Trobe University starting at 2.00.

The brainchild of former coach Dene Macleod, who has spoken to Brian Goodman, quite a bit over the past fewseasons over the lack of respect umpires get on any given match day, is very excited in getting this initiative off theground.

The Umpires Appreciation Day will see special guests including AFL Umpires Association CEO Bill Deller, AFL VictoriaCEO Peter Schwab, President of the VAFA Nick Bourke, VAFA CEO Michael Sholly, AFL Umpire Development ManagerNeville Nash, a high profile AFL umpire and other guests enjoying this important day.

Williamstown’s president Peter Welsh admits he’s never been the umpires’ biggest fan – ‘‘It’s a bit ironic comingfrom someone like me’’. But, he said, ‘‘I think it is something you appreciate the more you get involved in footy.‘‘Unless you have good umpires who are respected then you really don’t have a game.’’ Welsh conceded such a day,which his club would be happy to support each year, was well overdue. ‘‘I think it can have a spin-off to umpiringand refereeing in all sports,’’ he said.

Peter Welsh said he believed young umpires would benefit from showing more authority out on the field ‘‘they justneed to be a bit more confident in their own ability,’’ he said. ‘‘Just say ‘that’s it’, and get on with it.’’

But, Brian Goodman is not asking for umpires to be glorified, just granted a little respect. ‘‘One of the things I sayas coach of the umpires is ‘we’re there to adjudicate on the game, and it’s a players’ game – we’re there to just makesure that they play within the rules. It’s not about us; it’s about the players’.

This day will highlight that there is a need for more respect for umpires and it is a huge step in the right direction.

Anyone wishing to take up umpiring can contact Brian Goodman at brian@vafa.com.au

Almost halfway through the season and coming off aweek's break, sounds like there is no better time to lookat the D2 premiership betting and competition best andfairest market.

Emmaus St Leos $1.20 v Old Paradians $4.10The Animals continue to roll along nicely and will startwarm favourites to pick up their eighth win of theseason in this one. Despite the absence of the MMccGGllooiinnss

27THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV26 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV

in the midfield afortnight ago, EmmausSt Leos proved far toostrong for Bentleigh,with CChhrriiss BBeelluusszzaarrbooting another five goals up forward. Old Paradianswent down by two goals to St Mary/Salesian and needto start picking up a couple of wins or they will findthemselves deep in relegation trouble. CCaarrll SSaaggee,, AAllllaannYYoouunngg and MMaarrkk RRyyaann will all need to be on top of theirgames here as Emmaus St Leos possess plenty ofmatch winners in their line-up. I am expecting anotherbag of goals (maybe six) for BBeelluusszzaarr and for theAnimals to win easily. Emmaus St Leos by 73 points.

Bentleigh $1.85 v Ivanhoe $1.85Crunch game for Bentleigh here as they currently sit onthe bottom of the ladder and have to win at least threeof their remaining home games if they are to stay up.The good news for them is that they are likely to regainCChhrriiss SShhaarrpp to their line-up and there is also an outsidechance that Ivanhoe spearhead AAnnggeelloo PPaaccee could bemissing (tribunal result not known when going to print).There is no doubt that Ivanhoe are playing the betterfooty - they stretched Werribee last start and could havepinched the win - but I have a feeling that Bentleigh willhave earmarked this clash as a must win game andshould be ready to fire. If Sharp plays then I amexpecting a flood of money for the home side on Fridayafternoon. Bentleigh by five points.

St Marys/Salesian $1.75 v Therry Penola $1.95Another dominant performance from CCaamm AArrmmssttrroonngggot St Marys/Salesian over the line against OldParadians last start and the combine will be keen tomake it back-to-back wins in this one. While PPaappaalluuccaais likely to head back to the VFL, the combine is likely toregain the services of up to five senior players (theskillful Joe Morsello included) for this clash and will go

into the match full of confidence. Therry Penola werepoor last start when they went down to Old Westbourneby 10 goals and will be keen to hit back in this one. CCoorreeyyBBaannnniisstteerr will need a big game up forward if they are toget the points, but the home side may just have enoughto get over the line. St Marys/Salesian by 18 points.

Werribee $1.33 v Glen Eira $3.10Werribee will be keen to get back to Soldiers Reservesafter indifferent performances in their past two startsaway from home. After losing to Emmaus St Leos tworounds back, Werribee needed all of their big guns firingto get past Ivanhoe a fortnight ago. Somehow, I don'tthink the wheels are falling off (just yet), but a return totheir home patch here is only going to help. Glen Eira losta game they should have won last start when failingmiserably in the final quarter to go down to Banyule by25 points. In front of the gold mine, RRyyaann CCllaarrkk has beendelivering the goods so far this season and he will needto be at his best once again today if the visitors are to getthe points. Under the tutelage of retired club legendTToommmmyy CCaannnnaarrdd, Clark has transformed himself into oneof the best forwards in the league, but can his midfieldersget him enough of the ball so he can kick the Saints awinning score. I say no. Werribee by 17 points.

Old Westbourne $2.10 v Banyule $1.65Just when I wrote off Old Westbourne they produced astrong performance to win on the road against TherryPenola, but can they back it up here against one of thebetter teams in the division? Banyule are coming off animpressive victory over Glen Eira and the Warriors willneed to play even better in this one if they are to get thepoints. BBeenn HHuuttttoonn has been in good form for OldWestbourne, but when are we going to see partner incrime AAkkiiff JJeekkaa back in the senior side? One goal in theressies last game probably not enough to earn a recall,but we all know that at his best he is a walk up start tothe ones. Banyule are a pretty consistent outfit, but thisgame has an upset written all over it. I just don't knowwhether or not I have the guts to go with the home side.Oh, what the heck. Old Westbourne by one point.

It would be great to hear from every club after eachround to help me in writing my weekly column. Pleasesend all match reports, social events, milestones andanything else that may be of interest tojonathan.healy@hotmail.com by 5:00pm on Monday.

• QUEENSLANDERS TOO GOOD FOR VAFAYOUNGSTERSThe VAFA’s U19 side were totally outclassed by a slickAFL Queensland side in Brisbane last Saturday, goingdown by 131 points. Queensland had their runninggame going right from the start and took a 64 point leadinto the first break. From there the match waseffectively over and it was all about pride for the Vics.They did show a great deal of fighting spirit in thesecond term to stem the flow and put a few goals on theboard themselves. Jack Hellier and Jeremy Mugavinwere starting to get their hands on the football throughthe midfield and Trent Lee started to rack uppossessions across half forward. Turnovers howeverwere killing the Vics and some exciting passages of play

VAFA REPRESENTATIVE MATCHES• VICS HOME IN SYDNEY THRILLERThe VAFA senior representative side came from 20 pointsdown late in the second quarter to score a hard-fought 5point win over AFL Sydney at Henson Park in Marrickvilleon Sunday, 13.8 86 to 11.15 81. Sydney jumped out ofthe blocks and with three of the first four goals raced toan 11-point lead, but goals to Tony Brown, Adam Pirrieand Ben Doherty gave the Vics a 7 point lead at quartertime, 4.3 27 to 3.2 20. The second quarter mirrored thefirst as Sydney’s 38 year old Troy Luff and half forwardMatt Carey each kicked two goals to give the Blues a 20point buffer.But Andrew McGuinness and Marty Pask replied for theVAFA to be within 10 points at half time, 6.4 40 to 7.8 56.The Victorians were down to 19 fit players after half time,with Tony Brown concussed, Andrew Lowcockdislocating his shoulder and Sam Johnston with ahamstring. Curiously, all three players were roomingtogether in 313! Victoria had to dig deep and with thepace coming off the game put their bodies on the line,holding Sydney goalless in the third term whilst kickingthree goals to lead by a goal at the last break, 9.6 60 to7.12 54. The last quarter was a thriller, and almost goalfor goal, with each kicking four goals. When Adam Pirriekicked his third goal deep in quarter the VAFA lookedhome, but Sydney would not lie down and with goals toAngus Darling and a second to Jon Vlatko the marginwas just five points. Sydney went forward again, but the siren went with theBlues in possession just outside fifty. Only a MalcolmBlight spiral could give them an unlikely win, but suchwas not to be. A gutsy win to the VAFA and coach DeanAnderson, the only win on the weekend, 13.8 86 to 11.1581. Peter Steele was sensational at full back all day andwas rewarded with the Best on Ground Medal. TheVAFA’s other defenders were very important too led byNick Serafini, Simon Fragiacomo and in the second halfMatt Robbins. Andrew McGuinness was desperate in themidfield. As usual, Hayden Heta was strong in the ruckand around the ground. Ben Doherty lifted in the secondhalf to be a key player across half forward. It has been alean time in recent years for the VAFA seniorrepresentative side, so the look of relief on the Victorianswas very evident. The match was well fought and it isexpected that AFL Sydney will journey to Melbourne intwo years time.

• CYSTIC FIBROSIS CUP HEADS TO THECOUNTRYIn perfect conditions and before a large andenthusiastic crowd at Sportscover Arena, the VAFA’s C-D4 team under Coach Mark Lowe took on the VCFLDistricts team for the first time in history for theprestigious Cystic Fibrosis Cup. With Leigh Fletcherlively in the centre and good early work from TrevorBromley, Ryan Semmell and Mark Pietryk, the VAFAwithstood a torrid opening and soon had the first 2goals on the board through the dangerous PaulGreenham. The VCFL finally got into their stride to kickthe next 5 unanswered goals before the brilliantGreenham kicked his 3rd goal (and all of the VAFA’s) toleave the Ammos 18 points down at the 1st break. Thecountry lads continued to press and aided by adominant ruck display by Schouler and a serious injuryto the VAFA’s Paul Greenham, they were able to extendtheir half time lead to 9 goals. Although seemingly overat half time, on resumption the VAFA played with vigourand enthusiasm but further injuries to key positionplayers Chris Fairbairn and Corey Bannister, thwartedany chance of a VAFA comeback, despite the continued

broke down with simple hand or foot errors, on whichthe fast running Queensland side capitalised. Brittainand Merrett were proving hard to stop for theQueenslanders, but given the amount of quality ballthey were receiving from their midfielders and half-backs, the Victorian backmen including James Savilleand Tom Caven did an admirable job. Injuries werestarting to take their toll on the VAFA side with BrettCollins suffering a shin injury and being forced out ofthe game just before half time and ruckman CallumSinclair also had to leave the field with a knee injury, butwas able to return late in the match. The Victorianscould have easily dropped their heads but they stuck ongamely, still tackling and chasing with intensity andpurpose throughout the second half. Joe Macula andBen Capra went forward and provided a target for theVics and Chris Richards imposed himself on the gamewith some courageous play through the midfield.However, the well drilled, highly talented Queenslandside were just far too good and now the matchcommittee must go back and find a way for the VAFA tomatch it with their strength when we meet next year inMelbourne.

suspension, also provided some spark by controlling theruck. The recent recruitment of four players fromNorthcote added depth to Ivanhoe and, Stranwick inparticular, with 4 goals, was instrumental in the last term.Although Mark Sedgwick, skipper Mark Page and LeoPanjari did their utmost for Parkside, Ivanhoe gained fullcontrol and ran out winners 21.7 to 17.20. Ivanhoe’ssupporters were delighted with the turn around in form andrealised that the season was not necessarily lost. Bestplayers – Barro, M Flynn, Stranwick (6), Parkinson,Pettingill, Corlett (Ivanhoe) and Sedgwick, Page, LPanjari, Freeman, Sherlock, Pavia (Parkside). The 18th AAFC Carnival was being played inLaunceston and the Victorian side started with a strongwin over Western Australia by 33 points. OwenAbrahams, Tony Egan and Paul Schuhkraft were allprominent early while Paul Cox and Simon Macauleywere great on-ballers. A 4 goal lead at half time wasextended only marginally in the second half but the Vicsran out comfortable winners 11.14 to 7.5. Brett Burden,Rick Schober and Rob Fuller were outstanding indefence in the last term. Best players – Burden, Moir,Abrahams, Egan, Kingston, Macauley, Schober (Vic).Major goal kickers for Victoria – Egan 4, Schuhkraft 3,Young 2.

30 YEARS AGO – 1978In A Section, Ivanhoe and De La Salle fought out a greatcontest with both team looking to consolidate theirposition in the top four. De La had an excellent firstquarter with 6 goals although a couple of late goals toIvanhoe kept them in touch, 17 points down at the firstchange. Ivanhoe narrowed the difference with a bettersecond term but De La kicked away again in the thirdterm. Ivanhoe came at their opponents again in the finalquarter and with the aid of the breeze, scored 7.1 to run outwinners by only 3 points. It had been a great victory byIvanhoe. Best players – Shepherd, Jones (6), Adley,Renshaw, Stewart, Stredwick (Ivanhoe) and Groves (7),Maher, Nugent, Loft, Dunn, Beddoe (DLS).The top two teams in A Section also met in this round andit was another excellent contest between University Bluesand Old Scotch. All square at quarter time, Uni Bluescrept ahead to lead by 10 points at half time and in anexcellent third quarter, both teams scored readily but theBlues were ahead by 10 points. A great last term wasplayed out before a very enthusiastic crowd with the Blueshanging on by only 3 points and they went two gamesclear on top of the ladder. Best players – Curnow, Christie,Carmody, Dobbie, Moore, Hindle (Uni Blues) and Mason(6), Kefford, Bubb, Bedford, P Hays, Tallent (Old Scotch).

40 YEARS AGO – 1968In B Section the gap was widening between ladderleaders, Ormond, and the rest of the pack. When

place, were already 3games plus percentagebehind. The match of theday was betweenPeninsula and OldCamberwell and after atight tussle in the first half,Peninsula drew away from Camberwell to win 15.12 to10.12. Best players – Cook, Angus, Sharpin, A Landry,Dentry, S Parsons (Peninsula) and Leitch, Town,Wilson, Short, Whitehead, Pratt (Camberwell). In E White, Old Carey, Richmond Central, Kew, NorthBrunswick and UHSOB looked as though they wouldfight it out in September, however, UHSOB and Kewsuffered a minor set back in this round at the hands ofFitzroy Reds and Williamstown CYMS respectively.UHSOB led with a reasonable margin for the first threequarters but Fitzroy Reds stormed home in the final termto snatch a well earned victory, 15.15 to 15.8. Best players– Wharf, P Jackson, Farrell, Wright, P Keppell, B Hart(Fitzroy) and McLennan, Major, Farrelly (5), Pfeiffer,Skinns, Gunthorpe (UHSOB).In F Section it was a great game between Syndal Tally-Ho and Hawthorn Amateurs with second spot the prizefor the winning club. Hawthorn jumped out of the blockswith a great first quarter and but for some wayward shotsfor goals, would have been better placed than the eventual4.5 to 1.3. Syndal then turned the tables with 8 goals to 4and a 4 point lead at half time. Hawthorn failed to grab theascendancy in the third quarter and Syndal Tally-Hoconfidently fancied their chances with only 30 oddminutes to play. Hawthorn decided otherwise, made up hedifference and then forged ahead to win 14.18 to 15.9.Best players – Broadley, O’Brien, S Avery, Reed,Hopkins (3), Bourke (Hawthorn) while Tally-Ho in theirdisappointment failed to nominate their best!

20 YEARS AGO – 1988In B Section there was a clear gap between the top andbottom fives. But had the section started to turn around?Bottom placed Ivanhoe hosted Parkside (equal second)and were coming off a hiding from middle of the roadteam, Monash Blues, in the previous round. By half timeParkside had the game under control with 23 scoring shotsto 12 and a lead of 30 points. A 9 goal third term by theHoes brought the game alive but they still trailed by over3 goals. Aware of Parkside’s poor last quarter record oflate, Ivanhoe applied the pressure from the word go in thelast quarter, led by some inspirational marking by SimonCorlett.

5 YEARS AGO - 2003Following the playing of the two AAFC Championshipmatches, the AAFC Team of the Year was announced inplaying positions. 13 of the 24 players were from theVAFA. There were 7 South Australians and 4 WestAustralians. The Victorian players were – Murray Pitts(full back), Danny Byrne (half back flank), CarlSteinfort (centre half back), Paul Corrigan (centre),John Stevens (wing), Luke Hawkins (half forwardflank), Tim Harvey (full forward), Laz Siampantis(forward pocket), Andrew Ramsden (first ruck), BenJordon (rover), Lincoln Reynolds (interchange), TimOckleshaw (interchange) and Matthew Dennis(interchange).St Bedes Mentone Tigers were delighted with theopening of their new facilities. President, Dale Collinsand his hard working team were congratulated by all andsundry. The City of Kingston were also applauded fortheir contribution and support of the project. The VAFA/AFL Umpires’ Association initiative called“The Whistle in Harmony Day” was gatheringmomentum as they issued invitations to a SundayLuncheon at Sportscover Arena. The luncheon would beattended by many Club Presidents, representatives of theAFL Umpires’ Association and of course the VAFAUmpires’ Association. AFLUA CEO, Rob Andersonwas to be Guest Speaker and former VAFA umpires,Matthew Head and Corin Rowe would also attend intheir present capacity as senior AFL umpires.Two “Centurions” were acknowledged by theirrespective clubs – Paul Levins, an aggressive, under thepack rover, had given St Leos Emmaus great service overthe years. (Another of the Levins dynasty, Bradels, playedhis 50th in the same game). Simon Widjaja, (CaulfieldGrammarians) reached his milestone with a typicalpower packed display. Dual Senior best and fairest,premiership player, U19 Competition best and fairest,Wij has never taken a backward step. ‘Wij’ was also aleader off the field without ever missing a social event.150 games up for Old Brighton’s Simon Williams,appointed Captain of the club in 1999. Simon started in1993 on the wing and then moved to key positions

10 YEARS AGO – 1998The two E Sections, Blue and White, were starting to sortthe “wheat from the chaff”. After 9 games, it seemed therewere only 4 teams capable of contesting the finals in EBlue, Caulfield Grammarians, Peninsula Old Boys,Old Camberwell and Oakleigh. Power House, in fifth

Ormond disposed of Geelong 10.13 to 1.7, theyremained undefeated and revealed a three game breakover second placed Monash University. Best players –Ladd, Moran, Bolt, Fitzroy, Meeking, Adams(Ormond) and G Lamb, Wheeler, K Andrews,Rhodes, Dexter, Allden (Geelong).While Monash remained in second spot, they had gonedown to the fast finishing Ivanhoe. Monash looked likewinners all day until Ivanhoe stole the initiative in thefinal quarter with 4.4 to 2 behinds. Best players –Paterson, McWhinnie, Burns, Robinson, R Freeman,Berry (Ivanhoe) and Shannon, Cole, Whettenhall,McMaster, Hong, Windust (Monash). The VAFA tribunal officers were in no mood forleniency and during the week had handed out somesevere sentences. One player, reported for ‘interferingwith a goal umpire’ in that he pulled the goal umpire’shat over his eyes’ was dealt no less than 16 matches! A‘strike with the elbow’ warranted 6 weeks. ‘Insultingconduct toward the field umpire’ and ‘deliberatelypreventing the umpire from carrying out decisions’was not tolerated and the guilty player suspended untilthe end of the current season! The player had alsobeen ‘ordered off’ by the field umpire. ‘Foul andabusive language toward the field umpire’ received 8matches and a ‘deliberate charge behind the play’ ina reserves’ game saw an outcome of 4 matches. Thereis no doubt the tribunal members ‘got value for theirtime spent’ when considering each case!

50 YEARS AGO – 1958A record crowd for a home and away match at OlympicPark saw a thrilling clash of the A Section ladderleaders, Collegians and Old Xaverians. In the first halfCollegians were unimpressive but rebounded strongly inthe third term to take a 6 point lead at the final break. Thefinal quarter unfolded to reveal first one team and thenthe other appearing to be gaining the upper hand.Collegians had been in control in the air for the majorityof the game but the Xavs’ smaller players, especially therovers, were in brilliant form and nullified Collegians’ruck advantage. Lambert (Old Xavs) goaled to level thescores but Sanders and Bennett replied for Collegians togain a 10 point advantage. When Rhoden kicked hissecond goal for the match for the Xavs they were in witha chance but Collegians held on 11.12 to 10.14 for a greatvictory. Best players – Mansfield, L Hibbins,Unkenstein, Farrell, Evans, Jobling (Collegians) andCallan, Greenway, Johnson, Rhoden, Gibson (OldXaverians). Main goal kickers were Bennett (4) andRush (4) for Collegians and Ralph (4) for OldXaverians.Ray Kilner (Captain of Malvern) and John Neeson(Ivanhoe Best & Fairest in 1957) both played their 100thgames.

although I think luck mustgo their way with injuriesin the next month or so.

St Johns are a verydifferent side at home as we are all learning eachsecond week. The Turtles consistent form so far wouldhave meant their confidence was high to escapeDoveton with the four points and securing the secondspot on the table. The scoreboard shows that the hometeam probably won this by kicking eight straight goalsin the second half as opposed to nine goals sevenbehinds. Good kicking is in the end good football. Thefinal frantic five minutes saw the lead swap as thesides traded goals with the home team in front when itmattered most. Best for the turtles was GGaallvviinn, whileJJaammeess MMuurrpphhyy kicked 5 great goals.

Brens Oval was the host of a great honest contest withWilliamstown gunning for eight straight wins againstUHS. The University High team have been great thusfar in not losing quarters by big margins and thedifference here may have been DDaavviidd LLeeee and his eightgoals. That’s about fifty majors for him now so the tonis very much on the cards I think. BBeenn HHyynneess is aterrific player when in form and it showed here. Thehome side had multiple goal scorers but just fell short.Huge game for them after the break to follow.

Latrobe and Powerhouse did not inspire the masses onthe weekend with a low scoring affair. The Piranhashave effectively no second goal scorer on the booksand this week was no exception. Are they too ‘Eddo’conscious or just lack polish in the forward third? Atany rate eight goals was a poor return but enough towin. The home side here have some soul searching todo if they are to post more wins for the year.

PREVIEWSSome very intriguing affairs this middle of June to endthe first half of the season.

Monash host UHS in a classic ‘eight pointer’. The loserhere is really behind the pack in terms of finals and Ifancy Monash, at home, to do the business. Themargin to be 11 points.

Willy host Latrobe and this will ensue a 9 – 0 start. Inmost years the VAFA record shows this to be uniquebut a few other divisions have undefeated sides. Thisteam will remain like that for a while though . . . 59points at the end here.

Hawthorn host Eltham in a classic. Tough for bothsides, the Turtles however control possession well andit is a critical advantage at Rathmines Road. I fancy theaway side by under a kick in our match of the round.

Powerhouse should beat an old foe in Elsternwick athome – but I can not have them with any degree ofcertainty. Adverse times for the red and black may seethem produce a stunning upset here. Under ten pointsto Grace’s charges here.

Finally St Johns – who must start winning away – geta great chance against Swinburne to do so. Will be atight tussle but selecting the away tem by 16 points.

D3 SECTIONby Stephen Clarke

Glorious sunshine for our most recent collection ofmatches and big scores were the order of the day – insome cases anyway. Our top four has not only takenshape but may well be finalised with some ten roundsremaining. The Queens birthday break could not havecome quick enough for some teams however -

I think most people agreed a win by the Hawks thisweekend would diminish the finals chances ofElsternwick to nothing more than a pipe dream. With amassive 95 point loss for the home side, the season isall but a nightmare now. This game started well forboth sides and by half time the margin was three goalsto the brown and gold. But from there it wasprocession with RRiicckk OOggggee finishing off his stellarmonth of May with twelve majors and the whippet,NNaatthhaann LLyynncchh enjoyed his best game for the year.Elsternwick were stunned in the second half with therelentless pressure of Hawthorn and they simply can’tproduce over four quarters the quality required, withexceptions this week being SSttuucchhbbeerryy and SSmmiitthh. Thiswas a win for a younger, fitter and hungrier side versusan older team struggling to win enough possessionweek in week out.

Monash travelled to Swinburne knowing a win wasvital to keep up the momentum gathered thus far andthey delivered with a strong seven goal victory. TheRazorbacks have been a low scoring side far too oftenand here ten goals was not going to be a winningscore. I guess it’s not easy to score against a Wellslead defence, whilst the Gryphons through LLeeeettoonn andSShhaarrkkeeyy were scoring or setting up goals all too often.The home side here are enjoying a season to forgetwhilst for Coach NNaauummooffff the mission is on track stillwith new players to the Monash club having regularpositive impact. They remain a possible for finals MELEES –

Keeping warmThe one weekend it did rainand have a chill factor ofminus 1 degree, one umpire came up with a novel idea ofkeeping warm. BBrreenntt WWooooddhheeaadd decided that the use ofhis hair dryer would come in handy to generate some muchneeded warmth within the umpire’s rooms. It seems thatthe “splinter” had the dryer going before the game, duringthe halftime break and at the end of the game. Not once didhe use it for his hair, we hope he shared the warmtharound.

ApologyWe would like to send our apologies to trucking magnateLLiinnddssaayy FFooxx for not allowing him to park his helicopter atMHSOB. Unfortunately the game between MHSOB andHampton Rovers was still going on at 4.40 pm, Lindsay gotpretty low while circling the field and decided to park thechopper elsewhere.

FunctionsHuge, huge milestoneOn June 21st goal umpire KKeevviinn ““CChhii ll ll iiee”” SSeeggoottaaofficiates for the 660000tthh time as a VVAAFFAA uummppiirree. A former Asection grand final field umpire (who was the best bouncein the business), he turned to the flag-waving caper andhas had plenty of success there as well.After his game at SSppoorrttssccoovveerr AArreennaa on that day, KKeevv willbe celebrating with family, friends, fellow umpires and anyother people that have been with him along this longjourney. This is a fantastic achievement and we’d like to see asmany as possible attend to help him reminisce on the greattimes he has had in this very distinguished career. The function will be held in the Umpires Function Rooms atSSppoorrttssccoovveerr AArreennaa,, EEllsstteerrnnwwiicckk PPaarrkk from 77::3300 oonnwwaarrddss..Food & drinks at our regular reasonable prices. Just forcatering purposes, please RSVP to MMaaccccaa atSteve.McCarthy@infotech.monash.edu.au if you’d like toattend. Let’s have a big one to celebrate this very importantevent.

Trivia NightIt’s back on again the “2008 VAFAUA Trivia night” onSaturday 5th July at the umpire’s rooms. Start time7.30pm and $10 entry. Hosted by our very own “MCJones”, plenty of giveaways, raffles and spot prizes.Usually a big night so get in early.

TriathleteOur good luck and best wishes go out to field umpire AAllbbiieeFFiirrlleeyy who has just left for Canada to represent Australia in theTriathlon World Cup. (see photo)AAllbbiiee tells us about his road to Vancouver. “Reachinginternational representation level has been a long road, with allof my resources and spare time devoted to the cause during thelast 2-3 years. National selection races are held all over Australiaso travelling has been a big part of the experience. There wereno selection races held in Victoria this year so the task was evenmore taxing, with no home turf advantage. Racing against Australia's best Olympic distance triathletes overthe summer months in Nowra, Newcastle, Hobart, and theAustralian Triathlon Championships in Perth was extremelychallenging, but delivered a very pleasing outcome with myqualification and selection for the Australian Olympic distanceTriathlon age group team. The Australian team will compete at the Triathlon World Cup inVancouver Canada this coming June, racing over the Olympicdistance of 1500m swim/ 40km Bike/ 10km run.”His event will be run on Sunday 8th June (Vancouver time) Keepan eye on Albie’s progress athttp://www.triathlonvancouver.com/index.html(As we went to print we learned that Albie finished a credible57th in his age category. Unfortunately the swim leg wascancelled due to rough conditions, so no doubt the other twolegs were pretty tough. A sensational effort to representAustralia, and we’ll see Albie back out in the middle soon.)

We go through the fact thatfootwear is important, the ball will be slippery, more contestedball, dropped marks and muddy centres, all this but with oneimportant element missing. That would be the rain!!! The boysare having as much luck predicting the rain as weathermanDDaavviidd BBrroowwnn has of understanding the holding the ball rule.Just keep going boys, we love running around in flats.

quarter though theXmen used their paceto great effect and setup a handy four goallead. Two furthergoals at the start ofthe third set what was ultimately a match winninglead, though the Demons never gave up and a lastquarter surge almost overwhelmed St Francis Xavier.BBrreennddaann and AAnntthhoonnyy PPrryyoorr led the way for theXmen, though a long bomb in the third from JJeessssMMaatthheerrss was probably the highlight for the day. The dominance of Sharks full forward DDaavviidd VViioollaaproved be the difference against a plucky Cobrasunit, despite some heroics from RRyyaann DDaalleeyy at theother end. Both sides were missing some talls, themost notable being TTiimm FFrraaddkkiinn for Bulleen. In theend it was the side who adapted best with Viola andpinch-hit ruckman KKiirrkk LLiinnddssaayy providing the edgefor Eley Park. Bulleen were within five points at thefinal change and never gave up, however ran out oflegs in the last. Despite the loss, the mood is stillupbeat at the Cobras who continue to improve,though I do understand there is one trainer who isunhappy with her photo in the record last week.Kewwere too big, and too polished for North Brunswick,though once again the improvement from the young‘junkyard’ crew was evident and their five goalsecond quarter was a fair reflection of their tenacityand growing confidence. HHaayyddnn TThhoorrpp and ZZaaccVVaannssii ttttaarrtt again topped the Bears best, whilst MMiicckkSSoorrlleettttoo led the way for the green and gold.There were no reports from the other two matches,won by Mt Lilydale and Albert Park respectively,though an insider did tell me that WWaall tteerr MMccIInnddooeewas at his destructive best in the ruck for theFalcons, and that they are building for a big secondhalf of the year. Watch this space.

D4 SECTIONby Duncan Palmer

The Sunday Sports section of the paper can evokemultiple emotions from a coach. Take this Saturdayfor example. The West Brunswick second halfperformance against Richmond would evokeconcern, trepidation, resignation, hope and maybeeven nausea. The hope is for coaches like NNaatthhaannDDaallllaass, who would see the Centrals as the side theyneed to dislodge from the five. PPeetteerr AArrmmssttrroonngg onthe other hand would be more prone to frustrationand would be cursing the football deity who hadsubjected him to Kew, SFX and West Brunswick inconsecutive rounds. He would also be wonderinghow he could turn what had been brave, butultimately fruitless losses, into a season changingvictory over the ladder leaders. Can Box Hill North’s‘‘DDaavviidd’’ slay this ‘‘GGooll iiaatthh’’?I often wonder what a coach does in these “David vGoliath” situations. Does he attempt to shut downthe opposition stars, with a match-up or tag for eachof them? Otherwise he could back his own players tokick a winning score, go for full attack, and stack hison-ball and forward line. Most coaches probably takethe middle road, with a few designated shut-downroles, however the major focus on their usual gameplan. I will leave it to PPeetteerr and his fellow coaches todevelop their own tactics. What I will say is that noteam is unbeatable. The team that is prepared to runhard, tackle, and block, all match, is best placed totake advantage of any potential drop in form.For a fair portion of the first half at Kevin BartlettReserve the Snakes were more than competitive withWest Brunswick. A goalless first quarter was notindicative of the heavy pressure Richmond weresubjecting the Magpies to, and it was probably onlythe wealth of scoring options available to them thatallowed the black and white to take a four goal leadat half time. After the break though RRiicchhaarrdd PPeeoopplleesstraded in his ageing fedora and whip, and broughtout his big guns. JJaarrrroodd SSuuddhhoollzz belied his absencefrom my list of top forwards to blast nine through thebig sticks, while EEvvaann LLllooyydd,, SSccootttt DDiisshhoonn andruckman JJoosshh MMeelliiccaann rounded out the best as WestBrunswick played their best half of football for theyear and ran out 116 point winners.Box Hill made the perfect start on Saturday with twoquick goals and with a taller side more suited to theirhome ground, looked to be well on their way to agood result. DDaavvee MMaarrttiinnii was proving a headachefor the SFX defenders and Jason Irish in his seniorreturn was dangerous around goal. In the second

WEST BRUNSWICK v BOX HILL NORTHBULLEEN COBRAS v SYNDAL TALLY HOALBERT PARK v ST FRANCIS XAVIERMT LILYDALE v RICHMOND CENTRALELEY PARK v NORTH BRUNSWICK

KEW v SOUTH MORNINGTON

TODAY’S D4 MATCHESBulleen Cobras - Rod Sheehan is playing his lastgame of D4 footy this weekend after playing over 550games for the club. Rod has had an involvement withthe Bulleen Cobras since playing Under 10’s roughly40 years ago with only one break of about 5 years inthat time. He has been the heart & soul of the BulleenCobras footy club & it is with great pride that he hasplayed in the same side as his son, Cameron, this yearand also having his his daughter Jess as a clubtrainer. Congratulations on a great career & we lookforward to sharing many yarns at the bar in the future.

M I L E S T O N E SMILESTONES

PreviewsMatch of the RoundMt Lilydale v Richmond CentralIn a pivotal ‘eight point game’, the winner will create somebreathing space in the five, and the loser will drop closerto the edge. Can Mt Lilydale contain Troy Whiting? Whowill stifle the athletic Michael Rhodes for the Centrals?Home ground advantage on the mountain is enormousand will see Mt Lilydale victorious by 17 points.

Bulleen Cobras v Syndal Tally HoThis is another chance for the Synners to break theirduck, but the home side appear to have too manyavenues to goal. Cobras by 32.

West Brunswick v Box Hill NorthAnother huge challenge for the Demons will prove toogreat as Jason Sudholz boots another nine and theMagpies win by 36 points.

Albert Park v St Francis XavierThe Falcons have returned to form, and this match will bea lot closer than many expect with veteran Justin Kanedangerous for the ‘lakesiders’. St Francis Xavier just, by3pts.

Kew v South MorningtonSouth seem to be slowly regaining a few players and willreturn to form soon, however the Bears are travelling verynicely and the Tigers will find Greg Bell too strong in theruck. Kew by 43 points.

Eley Park v North BrunswickThere is something to like about both these sides as theylook to gel new young combinations together. Eley Parkmay just have too many goal-kicking options through theViolas and sneak the win by 11points.

CONTACTReports please to deejaypalmer@bigpond.com bymidday Monday. I have held over the ‘Rising Star’ list foranother week, so please get those nominations in.

Grima’s Corner:NORTH (1) ROUND REWINDWelcome back to another edition of Grima’s Corner.Hopefully all sides enjoyed the break and any nigglinginjuries were repaired quickly to continue on with ourwonderful season.

Prior to the break, it was the Fitzroy Reds who easilyaccounted for an inconsistent Old Carey line up, runningout winners to the tune of 46 points. DDyyllaann TTeemmppllee putin a best on ground performance with his four goals,whilst the hyphenated express in TThhoommaass MMaaccrreeaaddyy--BBrryyaann was again solid for Old Carey with his fourmajors.

Look up the word spanking in the dictionary and you’llfind an archive of the game between Old Ivanhoe andBanyule/Viewbank. Old Ivanhoe kicked the year’shighest total score of 197 to belt a lack luster Banyulesquad by 117 points. AAlleexx DDiioorriieetteess starred forIvanhoe, kicking three goals in his best on grounddisplay. HHaarrrriissoonn TTiippppeerrtt was a stand out in a forgetfulday for Banyule.

Old Essendon got into the winners circle on a rareoccasion after they produced a gutsy display to downcellar dweller Old Paradians by 21 points. NNiicckkBBuullhhaakkooww was on fire, booting six goals to lead his sideto victory. CChhrriiss KKaannddiillaakkiiss was named best for theParadians.

U19 PREMIERAfter a refreshing week off for all VAFA footballers wehead into a cracker second half (well just short of it) ofthe season for U19 Premier footy. The halfway marksees the evergreen De La Salle undefeated and the newlypromoted St Bedes/Mentone Tigers travelling in greatfashion. The ladder would tell you at this stage that only3 sides in Old Scotch, Marcellin, and Uni Blacks canfight out the last two remaining spots. I guess asobvious as it sounds, only time will tell………

Although 2 weeks ago, last round we saw the favouritesall come away with the chocolates. St Bedes/Mentonekept Scotch comfortably away with a 72 point victory.

The ““SShhaakk”” kicked 6; BBaassttiioonn and BBrroowwnn were solid forthe tigers. Scotch will be disappointed to becomprehensively beaten by a side whose necks they arewell and truly breathing down. LLiimm battled hard for thecardinals throughout proceedings. Marcellin tried hardagainst De La Salle being in touch at half time. But theDe’s came away with a comfortable 10 goal win withMarcellin only kicking 1 goal in the last quarter. The De’swere aided through TToolloonnggss, CCoolllliinnss, and BBoonnnnaaddiioo’’ssgood work on the footy and for Marcellin, WWiillddssmmiitthhwas best on for the visitors. Rupertswood put togethertwo in a row to pick themselves right up off the deck tothe tune of 11 goals. Last years grand finalists in StBernards are well and truly struggling being down atevery change against Rupo. JJoohhaannsseenn and SSccootttt triedhard for the Snowdogs and for the victors SSmmeerrddoonn wasBOG with his 5 coffee scrolls. Blues also recorded theirsecond victory for 2008 defeating SKOB’s by 40 pointsat “Spaghetti Righetti” oval. PPrryyddee was best on with his6 sausage rolls (yes I’m trying to find another termevery time I say goals) for the Blues, and SKOB’s werewell served by NNaasshh and MMccDDeerrmmootttt who kicked 4citylink tolls (sorry, that was a terrible gag). Blacks cameout winners by 4 points in a hard fought, rip-snorting,tight tussle at the CCrraawwffoorrdd. Scores were tight at everychange with SShheepp and BBeellllyy in the best for the Blacks.For Xavs it was LLyynncchh and SSkkiiddmmoorree who led the way forthe visitors.

Round 9 sees Scotch v De La at Camberwell. De Lashould be too good me thinks. Blues host Rupo whichshould be a very close game of Under 19 footy.Marcellin looks a good thing at home and shouldaccount for SKOB’s. Uni Blacks should be too strong out

UNDER 19 SOUTH 1Old Melburnians, awesome. Sharks vs Tonners, fairlyclose. And three games with the winning sides booting30 goals or more.

Ormond looked the goods early, holding a narrow leadfor much of the first half, but then went fromchocolates to boiled lollies, as the Old Melburniansjuggernaut came to life and literally destroyed thevisitors over the next two quarters. OMs’ nine goals totwo (against a side boasting a percentage over 300) leftOrmond reeling, with EEdd HHuugghheess and DDaann SSaarrttoorriicapitalizing on great work right round the ground by atightly knit group of Old Melburnians.

The Beaumaris vs Old Brighton clash was pretty closefor most of the first three quarters, before the Sharksdecided to assert their authority over the Tonners - bypiling on six goals in the final term to record acomfortable victory.

The Panthers were able to field full a side, but - thatstep achieved - the rest of the day followed a sadlyfamiliar pattern and Caulfield were virtually able to domuch as they liked, with PPaauull MMccGGllaasshhaann kicking 11.However, Mentone were able to get a bit of systemgoing after half time: their best were JJaarrrroodd LLuummssddeenn,MMiikkee MMyyeerrss--SSnnyyddeerrrrss and MMaatttt CChhrriissttooppoouullooss. Specialmention to two players who played their first game forthe club: DDaanniieell AAlleexxaannddeerr and CCaamm LLaabbrrooooyy - bothwere good.

The second of three massively uneven games sawCollegians totally demolish Old Halieybury in three ofthe four quarters. As with the Panthers v Caulfield gameabove, the home side trailed by 18 goals to 2 at halftime, and Collegians - after a bit of a breather in thethird - finished with eleven goal-kickers on the day, asthey surged to 30 goals at the final siren.

And not to be upstaged, Mazenod had 19 goals to threeon their board against Oakleigh by the long break. Here,too, the third quarter saw a bit of a breather, with theKrushers matching the Nodders with four goals apiece,before the carnage continued.

This Week Round 9CCaauullffiieelldd aaggaaiinnsstt MMaazzeennoodd.. This just could be acracker. The Fields, third, against a side who after theawful start have been going up like a rocket at ChineseNew Year. Caulfield by two points.

CCoolllleeggiiaannss vv OOrrmmoonndd.. Collegians have performed wellin recent weeks, but now need to step up a notch todefeat a top side. Ormond – not enjoying that first loss- will not let them in.

BBeeaauummaarriiss vv OOlldd MMeellbbuurrnniiaannss.. Reckon the home sidecould trouble the OMs, on and off, but the incentive togo through the first half of the season undefeated (tosay nothing of their ability) will get the red-legs homecomfortably.

OOlldd MMeennttoonnee vv OOlldd BBrriigghhttoonn:: hard to see a huge changefor the Panthers, although the return of a couple ofinjured players would help. Brighton, big-time.

OOlldd HHaaii lleeyybbuurryy vvss OOaakklleeiigghh.. The long-sufferingOakleigh team and officials might give themselves achance today; however, I’m going for Haileybury, whowill also be grateful for a win, and who at least seem tohave better numbers.

UNDER 19 SOUTH 2A perfect five out of five selections here, and with allmargins very much as suggested. If you noted somelop-sided half time scores in South 1, the sagacontinued in South 2, with Monash Blues in front bynine goals to one at that stage, against Bedes/MentoneTigers, with BBeenn RRoobbeerrttssoonn well on the way to his 6 forthe day. The onslaught continued in the third and itwas only in the last that Monash eased back a little.

And in case you are wondering, De La Salle lead by just14 goals to 2 at half time, in their game with theParkdale Vultures. The visitors then only managed acouple more points in a continuing second-half blow-out.

However, still concentrating on half time scores,occasionally a game bucks the trend. Bentleigh, nearlysix goals up at half time, must be wondering what onearth they must do to win a game. They did everythingright until against Hampton Rovers until about halfwaythrough the third (another spray from the H-R bench?)and then went on to put in a final quarter akin to onefrom the Fremantle Dockers. The Rovers just wouldn’tlie down, and came through with five goals to one inthe last to take the game.

Another side perfecting the last term fade-out was thePirates. After playing some of their best football in

weeks, Peninsula, 27 points to the good at the finalbreak, looked like odds-on certainties. Only to seeMHSOB muster something pretty special to add 6-4 tojust 0-2 to take the game. (Glad I wasn’t there – mighthave lost a fortune.) Suspect the boys from Peninsulawould have been shattered.

AJAX returned to the winning list against Prahran-Caulfield, deriving great drive from the midfield led byKKaallmmuuss, ““AAllkkaa”” SSeellzzeerr and WW.. SStteeiinnbbeerrgg.. SpearheadFFaayymmaann added another 6 to his tally (how long to the100?) and WWeebbbb five in a clever display in the goalsquare. The Jackas didn’t have it all their own wayearly, when The Blues heeded instructions to play tightand contest everything. However, Ajax were very quickand well drilled and they started to assert a bit ofauthority in the second quarter, whilst the PC boysbecame a little distracted while debating someumpiring decisions - which didn’t really help the cause.

This weekMonash at home to Peninsula: the Ashers will takethis game as a welcome distraction from upcomingexams and will enjoy the day greatly at the expenseof the Pirates.

The AJAX game at home has the potential to beinteresting, given the visitors’ propensity forplaying good football for about half a game a week.If Hampton Rovers could find some means ofputting in four quarters at their top level, they couldreally push this down to the wire. However, despitethe occasion, and the incentive to prove me wrong,I don’t think they will do it. AJAX by 15 points.

Two teams coming off big losses last round areParkdale Vultures and Prahran/Caulfield. Reckonthe Blues – if they concentrate more and aredistracted less - will have the ability to take thepoints.

MHSOB are at home, and will be ecstatic with lastweek’s win. However, Bentleigh - as long as theyare no less than five goals in front at ¾ time -should have the talent to take the game.

St.Bedes Metone Tigers have yet to make muchimpression on any of the better few teams in thesection, and with De La Salle in that category I can’tsee the Tigers making much headway today. De Laeasily.

fourth place. Their bestwere: RRoobb NNoollaann,, PPeetteeTTaatttteerrssoonn and BBeennPPiiggggoott..

SouthOrmond and Emmaus/St Leo’s played a closelycontested match, which Ormond won by fifteen points.Accurate kicking helped Old Geelong defeat Oakleigh bytwenty seven points.Old Camberwell defeated Beaumaris by one hundredand six points at Sports Cover Arena.St Bede’s’ Mentone surrendered the Section lead bygoing down to St Mary’s/ Salesian by three points.

NorthThe closeness of the scores throughout the OldWestbourne versus Box Hill North game was reflectedby them being identical at the final siren. Best for OldWestbourne included: TTrriissttaann UUttttiinngg,, BBrriiaann KKnneeee andTToonnyy JJooffrree. Box Hill North was well served by: JJaakkeeBBuueennaavveennttuurraa,, JJoohhnn TTrraann and TTrrii TThhooii.Kew moved up to second place through their onehundred and forty two point victory over Therry Penola,who did not score until the second half.Undefeated leaders, Marcellin pushed North Old Boy’s/St Patrick’s down to third place as a consequence of the“Eagle’s” win by sixty five points.By defeating Bulleen – Templestowe by thirty eightpoints, Old Carey moved two games clear of the“Bullants” on the ladder.

Preview of Round 9Section 1The two winless teams viz Mazenod and Old Scotchmeet on Central Reserve where I forecast a Mazenodwin purely on home ground advantage.Leaders, University Blues can expect spirited oppositionfrom De La Salle, whose recent form has been verygood. How the Blues will be affected by examinationsand vacation is the unknown variable in selecting thewinner in this match. I select University Blues, whoseoverall performances in 2008 warrant it.Prahran should be able to defeat Old Melburnians inwhat promises to be a closely fought game.Collegians, who impressed last Round, should record acomfortable win over St Kevin’s.

CLUB XVIII SECTIONby Norm Nugent

Round 8 results which yielded me an eighty nine percent success rate, served to clarify the respectivestrengths of many sides and have given a clearer pictureof which sides are likely to feature in the August action.

Review of Round 8Section 1The accurate Prahran team comfortably accounted forMazenod by eighty three points. Mazenod, who wereweakened by promotions to their Reserves, did notcapitulate and their players tried hard to honour Coach,SSiimmoonn FFiisshheerr in his 330000tthh ggaammee..St Kevin’s did improve their scoring against leaders,University Blues, who this Round won by eighty fivepoints.Old Melburnians kept their finals’ chances alive bydefeating Old Scotch by ten points.Old Xaverians had a rare close encounter as they onlybeat traditional rivals, De La Salle by two points.Close games were the order for Old Xaverians as their“Ménages” and Collegians only had a few pointsseparating their scores for most of their game before theharder running Collegian’s players established a twelvepoint margin by game’s end. Best for Collegiansincluded: ruckman, WWiillll CCrrootthheerrss and SSiimmoonn DDaayy. ForOld Xaverians, AAnntthhoonnyy TToorrrree and DDaavviidd KKiinngg did well.

Section 2University Blacks through their fifty point win over OldTrinity pushed Trinity out of the top four.Leaders, Monash Blues comfortably defeated FitzroyReds by seventy five points. Monash opened well butthe Reds fought back to be only thirteen points inarrears at half time. The second half saw Monash breakaway to record their big win, in what spectators rated askilful encounter. Best for Monash were: the consistentPPaauull CCoouugghhlliinn (four goals), EEdd BBaattrroouunneeyy and DDaannOO’’DDwwyyeerr.Old Brighton justified my faith in them by defeating OldScotch by twenty points. The win lifted Old Brighton intofourth place.St Bernard’s easily defeated Caulfield Grammarians astheir margin was ninety nine points.Whitefriars, despite another inaccurate display upforward, probably defeated Box Hill North by a point (theresult is in dispute as I write). Confirmation of victorywill give Whitefriars a much greater chance of gaining

59THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV58 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2008VV

The most intense match of the Round will be thatbetween the Old Xaverian teams. In Round 1 theaccurate Ménages broke away from the “Crocodiles” towin by forty one points. Since then the fortunes of thetwo sides have turned as the Ménages have won onlytwice more whereas the “Crocodiles” have not lostanother game. The Ménages are an enigmatic side, whohave not been able to sustain their best form nor theiraccurate kicking. Today, I favour the “Crocodiles” toreverse the Round 1 result by winning.

Section 2Although the clash of top of the table Monash Blues andUniversity Blacks may lose some of its appeal throughvacation and examinations, it should still show thecomparative strengths of the sides. Those who saw lastyear’s Preliminary Final will remember how the Monashside overran the Melbourne based side in the finalquarter. Could it happen again? Even though I favourMonash to win, I suspect the game will provide closescores throughout its duration.The fluctuating form shown by Old Trinity makes thetask of predicting their results extremely difficult. Trinitycertainly aspire to a top four spot, and I believe they willhave the talent to defeat Fitzroy Reds today.A potential final’s preview will be seen when fourthplaced, Old Brighton visit second placed, St Bernard’s. Iselect St Bernard’s who are always hard to beat at home.Whitefriars should be able to defeat CaulfieldGrammarians, who are yet to win a game.In the afternoon match, Box Hill North and Old Scotchappear to be evenly matched. I select Box Hill North towin narrowly.

SouthLeaders, Old Camberwell visit St Mary’s/ Salesian, wholie in fourth place. From what has occurred in the firsteight rounds, Old Camberwell has proven the moreconsistent side and so I select them today.Old Geelong should keep their finals’ aspirations alive bydefeating Emmaus/ St Leo’s, who have yet to tastevictory this season.In a southern based contest, St Bede’s/ Mentone shouldregain their winning way at the expense of Beaumaris.Ormond should consolidate their place in the top four byaccounting for Oakleigh today.

NorthToday provides North Old Boy’s/ St Patrick’s the chanceto regain momentum by defeating Old Westbourne. Ibelieve they will do so.Marcellin should continue on their winning way by againdefeating Box Hill North. I doubt the “Eagle’s” winningmargin will be as great as that (148 points) in Round 5.Old Carey make the long trek out to Oak Park to play thekeen and determined Therry Penola, who lack the heightand depth of talent to defeat the fourth placed side.Second placed, Kew who seem to be improving witheach game should defeat Bulleen – Templestowe on theAjani Reserve.
