FOOTBALL FEAST

Club XVIII Grand Final day is one of the biggestweekends at Sportscover Arena andcongratulations to the four premiers – Collegians,Old Brighton, Old Essendon and Old Melburnians.Approximately 3000 people attended the ground towatch these games and I am sure everyone wassufficiently entertained to mark it in their diary fornext year.

That said, this weekend is unique in the VAFAbecause our clubs can be at once, finishing thehome and away season, playing finals andcelebrating the post-season.

This weekend is also is our most difficultadministratively. Our Umpiring Department mustarrange field, goal and boundary umpires for 32finals and 20 A and B section matches. The VAFAhosts all finals and we require volunteers to beground managers at each of the venues.

Outstanding work by our Football Department hasmeant that we have been able to secure greatgrounds including the Junction and Sandringhamand in the following weeks, Box Hill, Coburg andPreston.

Whilst this week may present its difficultieslogistically, it also provides us with someintriguing matches.

In both A and B Section there are virtual qualifyingfinals, with De La Salle and St Bede’s MentoneTigers battling for the right to play Old Xaveriansand St Kevin’s and St Bernard’s meeting for theright to take on Old Melburnians in next week’srespective second semis.

De La has surprised A Section teams with theirbrave running and sharing of the ball. No doubtthey will need to maintain confidence in their gameplan if they are to defeat the Tigers, who appear tobe peaking at the right time.

B Section has arguablybeen our most competitiveand this week, each matchhas significance on eitherfinals or relegation. It is notoften you get a true R18relegation battle and theOrmond and HamptonRovers clash is, for mine,the match of the round.This will be cut-throat football at its best and therewill be no holds spared at Boss James Reserve.Trinity will need to win against the fast finishingCarey to stave off the Uni blacks’ challenge for thefour.

With C-D4 finals on us this weekend, four seniorteams will be celebrating promotion on Sundaynight, while five will be out of the race for 2009.The dual prizes of premiership and promotionmakes all these games that much more riveting.Caulfield, Rupertswood, Peninsula and Bentleighgo into the second semi-finals as favouritesagainst MHSOB, Werribee, Williamstown and StFrancis Xavier respectively. D4 have final five withLa Trobe Uni playing Kew and the winner playingminor premiers Albert Park next week.

Friday night at Sportscover Arena will see anotherwonderful experience for our junior players withour inaugural Under 18 finals. The two standoutteams, Northern Bullants and Oakleigh have metthree times during the season, and it’s with 2-1 infavour of Oakleigh.

It’s a feast of football action that might just be myfavourite VAFA weekend? Or does it get even betternext week, with preliminary finals on the menu?

Whatever your favourite weekend of VAFA football,I am confident you will need your copy of AmateurFootballer at hand to check on ladders, promotionsand next week’s matchups as the results comeflooding in.

Editorial

University Oval was the lastchance saloon for theBrowns, but the Blues werein no mood for upheaval.With JJaacckk WWaattttss dominant,the Varsity powered awayearly, only to be drawn backin by a determined Old Ivanhoe, who won praise frommany for their persistence. DDrreeww SSoollllyy was back to hisbest for the victors while SSttuueeyy LLooww and captain-coachBBrraadd TThhoommppssoonn battled away for the visitors.

TTHHIISS WWEEEEKK::

The clash at Waverley Park between De La Salle and StBede’s Mentone Tigers will decide who takes secondslot. The first time around, at Brindisi Street, the Tigerstested De La early with its eighteen man blitz, but thevisitors hung in and then gave it back even harder toregister a famous win.

Recent form suggests the outcome here will be different,though De La’s apparent dip in form has in large partcome in games against lesser fancied opponents, UniBlues excepted. The Mentonians have the twin ambitionsof revenge and a second-semi spot, and playing on thisforeign turf shouldn’t hamper their progress. Thereigning premier seems to have hit top form at the righttime and are playing with the confidence and theswagger for which they have become quickly renowned.

The big question mark is the weather. Rain, and lots of it,is currently predicted for Saturday, so a wild contest mayensue. Such mayhem will neither suit nor dissuadeanyone. The reigning premier is quick, but De La isquicker, but how well can they swim? It’s certainly notlooking like a day for the high marking forwards, thoughfootball punditry is a safer occupation than meteorology.It’s difficult to go past BBeeddee’’ss in this one – wiser, moreexperienced, perhaps slightly more talented - though itwould not really surprise to see the Dees find their verybest when needed and take the massive prize.

Old Scotch tackle UUnnii BBlluueess (and Collegians will behoping they tackle them hard). Six weeks ago, thislooked a marquee match-up, but recent form has takensome of the shine off the contest. Yes, it’s still vital, asBlues need to win to guarantee their booking atSportscover, it’s just that it’s hard to say Scotch raisingthe necessary firepower to steal the points. Their teamsheets of late reveal names unknown to us, and the focusis already on the future. By contrast, blues look to regaina couple of stars to add to their mix.

The Purples, apart from hoping for a Scottish revival,also hope they can go with Xavs. Last time, they lost bythe even hundred, though no-one expects that to happenon the Trott. Will the league leader rest players, and if so,will it make any difference to the result? Can the Purplesmaintain their good form against a top flight opponent?Expect a scrappy, low scoring affair with the final sirenhigh up there in the day’s highlights.

Old Brighton head north to meet OOlldd IIvvaannhhooee in the finalchapter of their sorry season. Once again, rain could bethe key and the wetter the better for the Browns. All clubslike to finish with a bang rather than a whimper, but a topeffort here from either club will merely leave their fansasking “why, why now?” I suspect that the home teamwill win in what could prove a rather bitter/sweet day atChelsworth.

Old Essendon had harboured hopes that this final homeclash would give them the victory they need to stay in ASection. As things have transpired, MMaarrcceelllliinn havearound fifty-five goals to play with and need only to takethe field to guarantee their A Section spot. The 2008 BSection Grand Final that featured both these clubs is buta distant memory.

Round 17 was one for the front-running tipsters to tickthe favourites with confidence and impunity. Nothingreally changed: some teams firmed, others just died alittle more. It was the round we had to have, though itlooked to be a bit of a yawn, and indeed, was exactly that.

No feathers ruffled, no ripping rags-to-riches yarns, thefavourites saluted and the Pick 5 paid $1.05. That’s justthe way it was, a rare dead spot in a lively season thathas produced drama and disappointment, though it mustbe said, evolution rather than revolution.

Marcellin had an opportunity to guarantee their spot andend Collegians’ fading finals’ hopes, but they foundtrouble early and were pounded late. The Purples had noshortage of contributors as they added sixteen goals tofour after a cautious beginning. SShhuurraa TTaafftt, whoseseason began just this month, kicked six in a display notunfamiliar to Lions’ fans. MMiikkee DDyyeerr was againprominent for the Colls, as were the brothers BBaaxxtteerr, TTiimmand AAnnddrreeww. The Marcellin names were all too familiar –CCaamm MMaaccLLaarreenn, DDaann CCuulllliinnaann and DDaallllaass JJaarrrreedd.

Down at the Beach, the Brighton nightmare went anotherweek. This time it was De La who came in to steal thefour points from the Tonners. LLeeiigghh HHaarrrriissoonn and MMiicckkDDuuggggaann got four each, which was enough to match OB’soutput for the afternoon. DDaann CClloossee,, JJaakkee GGoottcchh andJJoosshh OOaakklleeyy were named best in a solid Blue and Goldteam effort, while the home team had just few who gotthe job done, among them, AAnnddrreeww EEddggee, who workedhard and TToomm MMeennttiippllaayy, who kicked three and was itsmost effective forward.

Old Scotch travelled to Mentone and to no-one’ssurprise, went down to the reigning premier. The Tigers,however, did not have it all their own way, though thelead they established by quarter time held up. LLaacchhiieeTThhoommppssoonn and CChhaarrlliiee TTaalllleenntt were again standouts ina young Cardinals team, while no-one would have beensurprised to see SSaamm AAnnsstteeyy,, BBrreetttt CCoolllliinnss and JJaammeess““TTaaxxiiss”” TTyyqquuiinn among the Combine’s top contributors.

Xavs welcomed Old Essendon, toyed with them for aquarter and then put them to the sword. DDaammiiaann LLyynncchhand JJoonn MMeerrccuurrii were dangerous, while MMiicckk DDaarrvveelllland RRyyaann CCoollbbeerrtt ensured they were never starved ofopportunity. JJoorrddaann LLeeaasskk and TTrreenntt SSkkuurrrriiee were bestfor the Bombers, the latter doing a good job on MMaattttHHaannddlleeyy, though the big blond did break free to kickthree.

8 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VV 9THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2009VV

The B Section ladder leaders &premiership favourites had anear full-strength side includingall four Beaumont’s playingtogether in the seniors for thefirst time and were far too good.As seems to be the norm, it wasagain windy, favouring the St Kilda end in the opening term, ofwhich the Rovers had the advantage of. The visitors kicked theopening goal of the game however it didn’t take long for theOM’s to warm up – they went on to kick five majors to theRovers two to hold a 16 point lead at the first change.The second quarter was a repeat of the first, again five goalsto two in favour of the home side to stretch their margin to 39points at the long break. Old Melburnians pace and skill allover the ground was proving to be way more than the Rovercould handle.It was all Old Melburnians in the second half eventuallyrunning out 77 points winners and sealing top spot.It was also blowing a gale out west where the Snowdogs tookon the Bloods. St Bernard’s started like a train kicking to thesouthern end with a 4 goal breeze favouring the southern endThe Snowdogs went into the first huddle with a tidy lead. Coming out from the break the bloods were buoyed by an earlygoal to Voss. Four more to OH and two to St Bernards saw thegame almost level at the long break. The Premiership quarterproved to the turning point as the Bloods were able to holdtheir own against the wind.The game was the visitors for the taking. When former VSFLpremiership player Laz ran an open goal the Bloods lookedliked they had sealed the deal. However this Bernards vintageare full of fight and got back into the match looking like theywould sneak a win. Alas for the West Essendon boys on 27minutes mark former B section B& F winner Tony Brown rovedbeautifully and converted from about 65 metres out. Therewould be no miracle escapes this time and St Bernards wereconsigned to losing 2 on the bounce meanwhile for the victorsseason 2009 lives another day. Out in North Balwyn SKOB were playing for a potential doublechance while Old Camberwell were playing for their skin. Withwildly varying motivations it was a game the held considerableinterest. For the opening bounce it was all Old Camberwell inthe first half, they looking like it should have been them andnot their visitor on the cusp of a finals campaign the Homeside took a 5 goal lead into half time. Not overly dis-similar tothe half time lead the side held in corresponding fixture earlierin the year. The long trip down to the change rooms bought about achange in the second half. With the game at their mercy and Bsection 2010 beckoning Camberwell were unable to extendtheir half time lead despite kicking with the aid of a strongbreeze; a 5 goal lead at ¾ time left the door was very much ajarfor the fast finishing SKOB. The barnstorming finish has become somewhat of atrademark of SKOB 2009, this has been required due to the

continued poor starts the Tri-colours like to dish out in equalmeasure. Round 17 proved to be no different, skipper BenDowd led by example, his hard work and courageous actsgetting the side back into the contest. Inch by inch SKOB crawled their way back into the match andfinally it was left to 2009 recruit Luke Williams, on a tight anglewith a shot on goal to put SKOB in front with minutesremaining. As he did earlier in the season his checkside sailedthrough the middle and SKOB hill erupted as they hit the leadfor the first time since the opening minutes of the contest. The visitors were good enough to hold on for a win and moveinto second place while Camberwell, much like Bon Jovi arelivin’ on a prayer. Results now need to go their way to be a Bsection side in 2010.

PPrreevviieewwssWell what a massive massive last round of football.Ill start out at Boss James for the match of the day. Very rarelydo sides get the chance to atone for grand final loses but forHampton here it is. Expect a massive crowd down bayside wayto see the loser disappear from B section and the winners gointo Mad Monday with some serious gusto. As I said last weekit’s impossible to tip Ormond given recent form. Rovers by asmallest possible margin.Carey take on Trinity not knowing if they have already doneenough while Trinity would want to make sure there not anyfreak results that knock them out. Ill take the Ts with Ramboto kick another bag.OC vs. OH. Camberwell lose and they are GAWN…it’s thatsimply. The Bloods have run into some cracking form and willend Camberwell as a B section jaunt. (Slightly beside the pointbut OH have a great record against the teams inside the 4,Doubles against SKOB & Bernards) Blacks take on OMs at the Varsity. Uni actually took the pointsat their last meeting but I don’t fancy a repeat. The Red Legsto put the boots into a desponded Students outfit.If the blockbuster out at Boss James is the MOTD than theSnowdogs vs. SKOB game is a pretty handy support act. Bothside approaches this game two wins from A section. Bernardshave struggled of late and will no doubt have their poor finishto last season in the back of their mind. Balancing that will bea great recent record against St Kevs, many Bernards people Ihave spoken to this week believe they have a mental edge overtheir east suburban brethren.In the biggest match between the two sides since the 2001 Asection prelim final I’ll go for the home side with plenty backto stem the tide of poor starts and fall over the line against afast finishing Snow-dogs. Finally I’ll be putting together my team of the year this week.Great chance to pump up your favourite player or evenyourself. wwiillll__mmccccaannnn@@hhoottmmaaiill..ccoomm

RRoouunndd 1188RReevviieewwss1 round to go but so much to still be decided. Round 17 wasa girl in a Burqa....it didn’t reveal too much. Technically we stillhave 6 contenders and 4 teams fighting like all hell to stay upalthough this scribe cant see the light at the end of the Blacksor Bloods tunnel. I’ll start my report with the match of the round out at Marles.The game certainly lived up to expectations yesterday. UniBlacks rocked by the pre-game withdrawal of Matty Kemptonand the big Savige came out of the blocks and fairly led OT amerry dance getting out to a first half leading by 38 points.Much of the dominance attributed to Aaron Rau who seemedto be everywhere. OT Coach Brett Chandler gave his boys a fair spray that wouldhave made a sailor blush at the long break and it obviouslyworked with the boys responding with a season defining 3 rdquarter. Six goals into the wind in the third quarter with thetimeless Ramsden kicking four all from strong marks on the40 metre mark. Still 14 points down at the final change OT had the wind andall the momentum, it didn't take long to over haul the Blacksand the rest is history. The winners have almost certainlybooked themselves into the finals. They were best served byCaptain Brent Walsh, his brother Tim and the impressiveJessop. However the star of the day was undoubtedly the oldstager Rambo with a 7 goals to wrap up the B section goalkicking comp. The other game with massive ramifications was out atOrmond. Carey travelled south east to take on a badlystruggling Os outfit. In many long years of watching AmateurFootball I can not recall a more stunning loss of form. Whenthe newly promoted C grade champs knocked off OMs yousimply could not have imagined that they would findthemselves in this position. To the game, winning the toss and kicking with the aid of astrong breeze Carey was able to keep Ormond goal-less untilhalf way through the second term and took a 15 pointadvantage into the main break . By the end of the third quarterthe game was over as OCs lead extended to 47 points. Ormondfought hard in the last term and finally were defeated by 33points.Ryan Martin was best of the Ormond players getting plenty ofthe footy on the wing and through the middle of the ground.While Howat just racked them up for Carey. Special mention should be made to Ormond stalwart MattMcConvill who battled hard in the ruck in what was his lastgame for the club after 20 years of senior football. In that timeMatt has won competition best and fairest as well as anOrmond best and fairest and in one amazing year atSandringham had the distinction of coming runner up in theseconds’ competition B& F as well as the Liston trophy .Just to make sure the Hampton/Ormond clash this week hadabsolutely everything riding on it OM went through an understrength Hampton Rovers like a hot curry.

Atruly classic piece of broadcasting that would beworth a listen. As we write, the balcony is beingchecked for sonic damage to its structure.

SSEEMMII FFIINNAALLSS PPRREEVVIIEEWWFirst of all, congratulations to Rupertswood spearhead,LLeeiigghh BBrreennnnaann, on winning the 2009 D1 Goal Kickingwith 68 majors. Leroy will hope to add to that tallytoday as the minor premiers take on Werribee in whatwill be a classic second semi struggle for a GF berthand promotion to C grade. The St Bernard’s venue sitshalfway between the two clubs, who in their twomeetings thus far have each won away. Rupo droppeddown to D1 this year from C Grade, adamant it’s but afleeting visit; while the Tigers came up from D2 andwould surprise no-one if they kept that momentumgoing. Both have finished the home and away season inwinning form on the road, and would love the week’srest. Werribee is the only team to have beatenRupertswood this year, and has had more recent finalsexperience than the Sunbury outfit. It’s going to be aclose one, however I’m tipping Rupo by 10 points infront of a huge crowd after their Reserves take on OldMentonians in the earlier game.

The first semi tomorrow between Whitefriars andFitzroy should also be a ripper as these two old stagersbring out the big guns in a do-or-die at Central Reserve.The Friars have had the wood over Fitzroy on bothoccasions this year, but through injury, holidays andsuspension there hasn’t been a full-strength battle totruly test their mettle but both will have a number ofsignificant ins, two teams close to their prime. It’ll bean arm-wrestle early, but a three goal margin in theend. Both will be at St Bernard’s looking at matchupsand tactics for the Preliminary, only one will get to putthose thoughts into action. And that will be Whitefriars.

ahead of today’s semi. Butgird your bustles andhedgerows; I think they’reabout to get medieval.

Similar ducks and drakesat Whitefriars College in a somewhat timid affair.Werribee maintained a steady lead throughout thegame, notching up a 29 point win and a little paybackfor round seven …but without the breakdancefighting. Tigers DDeeaann and PPaallmmiinnggttoonn are in primefinals form, while plenty of well rested Friar Men willpush for selection in today’s clash with Fitzroy.

South Melbourne Districts took a dramatic final standat Albert Park, determined to stay in D1 and workedhard from the first bounce. Prahran struggled to movethe ball forward, the Bloods taking full advantage andby half time their tenure was secure. The Two Blues’only hope of survival in this section was to reduce thedeficit and hope that ESL could do the same againstAquinas - thereby keeping a superior percentage.Unable to make any inroads in the final quarter,however, Prahran’s fate was sealed as the shell-shocked crowd was seen scratching its collectivehead in the eerie blue glow of mobile phonecalculators.

Is Aquinas the Steven Bradbury of D1? They weregone. As in GAWN. Even if they beat Emmaus St Leoslast week they were still gone. To stay in D1 theplanets had to line up just so: they would have to beatEmmaus by HEAPS; they’d have to promise to tidy uptheir rooms; South Melbourne would have to win;they’d have to wear one sock up, one sock down; andPrahran would have to lose by HEAPS. Well that’swhat happened and Aquinas literally stood up on theice with the two arm salute and sailed through thefinish line doing a crazy little dance, singing narnee-narnee-nah-nah.

I feel really bad. You know when you’re so comfy in arelationship that you can just sledge away withoutfear of reprisal? No matter how ordinary it gets,you’re joined at the hip and so self-assured you flingany nasty ol’ comment you like, knowing full wellthey’ll still be there at the end, loyal and true. Well lastweek I was a cow. Sure, performance had not been upto scratch but I just let fly with the stinging barbs like‘abysmal’. And yeah, I might’ve suggested you wereno cert to stay, but as everyone knows, chicks saystuff they don’t mean all the time. In a cruel twistyou’ve just up and left and I’m still in a state of shock.Sure, you can blame others, say they were conspiringagainst us, but we know the truth. Goodbye Prahran,can I have my CDs back?

RROOUUNNDD EEIIGGHHTTEEEENN RREEVVIIEEWWThe middling clash between North Old Boys StPatricks and Old Mentonians could well have been aho hum affair, nothing to be gained for either except awinning end to a fairly beige season. The Panthershosted and NOBS dominated for most of the game totake a 33 point lead at the last change and yes, a fairlypredictable result was looming. Ooh but wait, what’sthis? The Panthers showed some serious ginger inthe last kicking 9 goals and reversed the deficit,winning by 33 points! Not so tedious after all, and thePanthers’ mad Monday was anything but.

Fitzroy hosted Rupertswood at BSO in one of two top-end dead rubbers that brought to mind that weirdsaying reminiscent of a whacky Led Zeppelin lyric (butI think it’s actually from the bible), something abouthiding your light under a bushel. The Roys had fiveouts, noticeably captain OO’’RReeii ll llyy (who ran themessages), KKeell lleehheerr, BBiiggggss, et al and playeddebutante, HHaarrbboorr who kicked his first goal in seniorfooty. Rupo had all the usual suspects on the ground,but it was youngster RRuusshh who kicked a handy bag of6 as the visitors cruised to an effortless 41 point win

Still got itIt’s great that umpires who have had their time at thehigher ranks still run around at lower levels to help outthe up and coming umpires. One such umpire in MMaarrkkJJeennkkiinnss runs around at U/19 level imparting hiswisdom onto umpires that require it. At one U/19 gameone club noticed his over the top wisdom on theplayers, not only is it good to see MMaarrkk has not lost hisskill but he hasn’t lost the angry ant attitude. Goodeffort JJeerrkkeerr.

Double-barrelled GunnA fantastic effort last weekend by Club XVIII umpireJJaammiiee GGuunnnn. GGuunnnnyy was appointed as a field umpirefor one of the grand finals which itself is a greatachievement. GGuunnnnyy arrived at Elsternwick Park niceand early and put his hand up when the appointedboundary umpire was a no-show in the curtain-raiser.Result – two grand finals in one day. Is this a newrecord/achievement?Well done to David Windlow and the rest of the ClubXVIII panel.

Benny’s Rule of the Week

WHEN TO CALL PLAY-ON It is imperative that when a player has been awarded afree kick or takes a mark that when they move off theirline to play-on we call it quickly and tell everyone in aloud voice why we have called play-on such as – play-on you are round! – Play-on you have moved off line!

Do not get caught calling play-on too quickly if theplayer has not made a genuine attempt to do so – wemust concentrate so we get it right.

The VAFA does not have a time limit as to when a playershould be called upon to get the ball moving so weshould ensure a player moves the ball on after areasonable time has elapsed – this is a judgment calland we should take in to account the level of footballbeing played.

All good things must come to an end, and so it was lastSaturday with home and away season 2009 finishing in style.The last round saw many sides giving their all to finish theyear on a positive note, and has shaped an intriguing firstweek of finals for those that are left standing. After eighteengrueling weeks only the super high quality teams remain, andfor them the next two weeks will define their season. Forthose that didn’t make it, mad Monday will have helped themforget their troubles and now it’s back to the drawing board.

Williamstown were able to overcome a persistent OldWestbourne last weekend to secure second spot and adouble chance in the finals. Williamstown seemed the betterteam for the first half, but Westbourne simply wouldn’t goaway and were still well and truly in the game. The thirdstanza saw Westbourne come out with all guns blazing andpile on six straight goals to go into their last quarter for theseason with a sixteen point lead. Williamstown then tookcommand in the last quarter and were able to quickly bridgethe gap with BBeenn GGrraayy and AAnnddrreeww MMccKKaayy in good form. ToWestbourne’s credit they never gave up, but Williamstownwith more class and more to play for eventually ran out 22point victors. This week is a great challenge for Williamstownagainst flag favourites Peninsula, they should play withnothing to lose and really test their mettle in a pressuresituation. For Westbourne the season has ended earlier thanthey might have hoped, but there have been good signs,especially in the latter stages of the season. The club will nodoubt look to 2010 with optimism.

As to the unbackable premiership favourites, Peninsulamaintained their winning form and appear set to embark on asuccessful finals campaign. The Pirates were always incontrol against Old Paradians last week despite failing toapply scoreboard pressure early on. The Paradians battledhard against the minor premiers and applied fierce pressureall around the ground but were simply outplayed by a betterteam. The Paradians are another team that would no doubthave hoped for a finals berth, but should not be toodisappointed with a season that contained some good winsand much improvement. AAll WWoooodd and TToomm RReeeess lead the

way for Peninsula as they haveall year, and the onlydisappointment for the day wasCaptain SShhaauunn PPaayyzzee’’ss injury.The Pirate’s assault on thefinals this year will be hard tostop, and Williamstown havethat undesirable task this weekend.

Therry Penola’s morale boosting victory over Banyule was atelling one, and could provide a psychological edge as theymeet again in the first elimination final. It was a low scoringaffair and both teams worked hard into the wind. It was notuntil the third quarter that Therry Penola was able to open upa healthy buffer that ultimately won them the game. Banyulefought back gallantly in the last but was unable overcomeTherry, who produced a good team performance. JarrodEgglestone continued his impressive year, and they will becomforted in the knowledge they can beat a good side with arelatively low scoring contribution from CCoorreeyy BBaannnniisstteerr.Therry Penola at their best is certainly a force to be reckonedwith, but when the wheels fall off they can be a shambles. Thepressure of finals football will be a good test for them.

Yarra Valley’s last hurrah for the year was a valiant effortagainst Glen Eira. In a high scoring affair both teams wereclearly desperate to finish with a win, but it was the Saintswho proved they had made much progress throughout theyear. Yarra Valley had their opportunities and were wasteful infront of goal, while Glen Eira only needed half a chance tosnatch victory. It was a high quality match and both teamscan take positives for the season. Glen Eira will look to takeanother step forward next year and push for finals, whileYarra Valley will take relegation as an opportunity for successand improvement.

Eltham finished disappointingly, losing badly to the relegationbound Ivanhoe. It has been a season of ups and downs forEltham, but with more consistency they could have a muchbetter season next year. Ivanhoe would have enjoyedfinishing the year with such a comprehensive victory.

too strong and deserved theirwin. Best players –Atherton, Meighan,Cianci, O’Reilly, Drury,Rawlins (Fitzroy) andKeleher, Miller, Whelan,Robbins, Martinov, Bailey(Ormond).It was a very comfortable victory for the highly fanciedUniversity Blacks in the second semi-final over Banyule.The undefeated Blacks continued their charge toward a“champion status” season and were never seriously threatenedapart from Banyule’s 5 goal to 3 goal second term. With a finalwinning score of 19.11 to 11.12 few thought the Blacks wouldbe threatened in two weeks time. Best players – Rawnsley,Batten, Barry, Sibilia (5), M Kempton, A Costello (UniBlacks) and O’Connell (5), D Gayfer, Williams, Demetriou,Brown, P Gloury (Banyule).

10 YEARS AGO – 1999Old Geelong ran away with theC Section first semi-final andfollowing on from their 5.9 to Assumption Ivanhoe’s 1.2 inthe first quarter, were never pressured. Over 10 goals up atthree quarter time, OG went into cruise control in the last andwon 17.20 to 8.17. Best players – Taylor, Higgins, J Wilson(6), Fisher, L Wilson, W Paul (OG) and Doherty, Jacka, Lee(3), McFarlane, Chazan, Narkiewicz (Ivanhoe/Assumption). Old Geelong’s day was complete as theirreserves also won 13.6 to 5.7.D Section, with twelve teams, saw the elimination final wonby Thomastown over Old Camberwell, 9.7 to 7.5.Thomastown led from start to finish. Best players –Farchione, P Valeri, Godino, Delpapa, Buron, Scott(Thomastown) and S Derry, S Hancock, Rowe, C Williams,Spurritt, Alex (Old Camberwell). The D Section qualifying final between AJAX and OldEssendon was a fluctuating affair, Essendon holding the earlyadvantage and AJAX mounting their charge just before halftime. The Jacka’s third quarter was a telling period and theyincreased their lead to win 14.17 to 11.8 in a great last quarter(4.6 to 1.0). Best players – Levin, P Goldberg, Cohen,Gelbart, Halphen, Rajch (AJAX) and Goodger, Dragoljo,Doolan, Fletcher, Hunter, Fleming (Old Essendon).

20 YEARS AGO – 1989In A Section, it was a monumental round 18 game out atBundoora with fourth place up for grabs for either the visitors,Marcellin Old Collegians, or the home team, OldParadians. Marcellin held the first advantage with 4.4 to 3.3

. . . Retrospectiveby Geoff Reilley

5 YEARS AGO – 2004In the C Section first semi-final, Monash Blues metParkdale Vultures at Sandringham. The Blues had the lion’sshare of the play but could not convert and the Vulturesdefence was to be commended for applying appropriatepressure as did their on-ball brigade. Parkdale were 2 goals infront at the first change and still enjoyed a margin of 7 pointsat half time. De Young, Renton and Smythwere excellent forthe Ashers while the O’Sullivan boys and O’Meara wereworking hard for Parkdale. With Rowley and Macgeorgebecoming more dangerous as time wore on, the Vultures gotout to almost 4 goals ahead at three quarter time while Monashstill had plenty of the ball but could not find a secure avenueto goal. With Parkdale’s defence working overtime as Monashmounted a huge challenge early in the last term, suddenly thegoals started to come for Monash and the Monash defenceshut down the dangerous Parkdale forwards. Craven, Smithand Gregory became really dangerous forwards for Monashand despite a Vultures’ goal against the flow, Monash, with 5.8in the last quarter, ran out winners 12.16 to 11.14 in a veryentertaining game. Best players – De Young, Janssen,Renton Farrar, Craven (3), Smyth (Monash) and Dixon, MSullivan, Rochford, Johnston, O’Meara, P O’Sullivan(Parkdale). Mark Gibson and Peter James, two veryexperienced and former A Section Grand Final FieldUmpires controlled the game. The second semi-final in C Section saw Melbourne HighSchool Old Boys fail to take full advantage over CaulfieldGrammarians in the first quarter with multiple shots on goal.They still looked in good state at quarter time 4.8 to 4.1. Inexcellent conditions, both teams had key forwards who weregreat targets, Jason Bamert (MHSOB) and Brett Sinclair(CGFC). Caulfield were more accurate but MHSOB increasedtheir lead slightly at half time, 6.14 to 6.1 and may well havehad the game sown up. After half time Brett Sinclair, MarkLiddell andBen Gross led the charge up forward with majorsand Caulfield hit the lead just before three quarter time. In agreat last quarter, Caulfield continued their surge withThompson, Pertzel and McCully working overtime forMHSOB but even their efforts could not stop the inevitable asCaulfield celebrated their return to B Section in many years,15.9 to 10.21. Best players – Fagan, Will, B Gross, BSinclair, Fallu, Erickson (Caulfield) and Cassell,Thompson, Gerner, Suirskis, Pertzel, McCully (MHSOB).Geoff Caulfield and Damian Anderson were the “Men inWhite”. In D Section it was a thriller in the first semi-final as FitzroyReds overran Ormond in the last quarter winning 10.10 to10.7. Ormond seemed to have had the game in their keepingwith a three goal buffer at the final change but the Reds were

half. Best players – Bluzer (3), Zemski, Korn, Lisner,Feldpicer, M Ritterman (AJAX) and Code (4), Gerny,Meadows, Paul, Schmidt, Thomas (Old Haileybury).

40 YEARS AGO – 1969There would be no changes to the A Section top four afterround 18 but Old Paradians (3rd) may well have beenconcerned over their loss to University Blues, a team outsidethe four. Paradians were struggling from the start and trailed atquarter time and at half time. A temporary rally in the thirdterm was thwarted when the Blues answered the challenge towin the quarter and won comfortably in the finish, 12.14 to8.12. Best players – Owen, Hume, Norman, Barkley (3), RJames, Scarfe (Uni Blues) and Gordon, Quinlan, Audley,Coghlan, O’Brien, Kendall (Old Paradians). Paradianswould need to lift their game as they were due to face up to anin form Collegians outfit in the first semi-final. Old Scotch inB Sectionwere in a similar position given theycould not lose their spot in the top four but went down to Kew(5th) in the final home and away game. This was an extremelyclose encounter for the first three quarters and the scores wereall tied up at three quarter time, 6.13 each. Scotch hardlytroubled the scorers in the final term and could only manage 1behind while Kew kicked 4.7 and their season finished on ahigh note. Best players – (Kew must have been concentratingon their end of season celebrations as they failed to tender theirbetter players!) for Old Scotch, Anderson, Hiddleston,Sowden. Welch, Whitford (3),Wilson.

50 YEARS AGO – 1959In the C Section first semi-final University High School OldBoys outplayed and outpaced Glenhuntly in the first half anddid enough to hold on and earn the right to advance to thepreliminary final. UHS’ pressure caused the ‘Hunters tofumble early and their strong backline cleared easily enoughwhenever Glenhuntly advanced. Glenhuntly made a shortcomeback in the third term and again in the final quarter butUHS always had the answers and won 11.17 to 10.8. Bestplayers – Shearn, Master, Leigh, Beissel, Rainsford, Jones(UHS) and L Shannon, Bryant, Walker, Moss, N Smith,Davis (Glenhuntly).Powerhouse easily won the second semi-final 13.13 toNational Bank 6.17. Best players – Bishop, Crane, Pirrie,Thompson, Hutchinson, Chalmers (Power house) andBrewer, Wall, Mueller, Dunn, Neale, Daniels (NationalBank). St Kilda CBC defeated St Kevins Old Boys in the D Sectionfirst semi-final 11.17 to 10.8. Best players – O’Brien (4), ERiordan, J Healy, Davidson, Sharkey, Sheehan (St KildaCBC) and Presnell, R Donohoe, Chapman, Filgate,Bennett-King, Summers (SKOBS). AJAX won the secondsemi-final final 9.17 to FTCOB 6.10. Best players –Lebransky, D Merkel, Levy, R Merkel, Pratt, Bridgeman(AJAX) and Carrall, Broadway, Luke, Kelly, Wardell, MWildie (FTCOB).

at quarter time in a high standard game. Joe Amad and MattGetson were setting the early standard for the Eagles and theConsidine boys were in the action for Parade. Paradians liftertheir work rate and with Brendan McClements the maininstigator, held a 17 point lead at the main change. Back cameMarcellin in the third term with Origlasso and Lennox firingbut a 9 point lead may not be enough with Parade having thescoring end in the last quarter. In a truly great last termtypifying the amateur spirit, Marcellin did not score a goal butstill held on to a slender lead and finally won by 4 points andlooked forward to a first semi-final encounter the followingweek. Best players – J Amad, Origlasso, M Getson,Lennox, Zannoni, Battistella (Marcellin) and Wood,Heffernan, Angove, M Considine, P Considine,McClements (Paradians). Typical of the promotion/relegation pressure of two up twodown out of only ten teams, B Section held a few more shocksin the final home and away round. Monash Blues played afantastic game against the more favoured Old Melburnians,winning 12.7 to 4.9 and therefore avoiding relegation. TheBlues were desperate from the word go and their form of thepast few weeks had really been ‘relegation avoidance’ at itsbest. The OM’s remained in fifth place. Best players – Kiers,Culvenor, J Quin, Hipwell (3), Alexander, Kohler (MonashBlues) and Smith, Con, Pisarski, Tyrrell, Nicholls, A Witts(OM’s).John Kanis played his 200th game covering his career firstlyat Caulfield Grammarians and withUniversity Blues wherehe was currently Captain. JK’s dash and ability had played asignificant part in the Blues rise back up the A Section ladder.(John is presently the senior coach of the Blues – GR)

30 YEARS AGO – 1979In A Section, Ormond travelled to Old Paradians needingto win to have a chance of replacing North Old Boys in thetop four. NOBS were expected to struggle against UniBlacks but the lure of a possible finals’ spot could wellchange this prediction. Ormond may have kicked theirchances away with 3.8 to Parades’ 6 straight goals in thefirst quarter. They did not improve their chances in thesecond quarter with the scoreboard showing them 10.16 toParade’s 10.2. Paradians jumped to the lead (6 points) atthree quarter time as Ormond continued to miss shots ongoal (11.22). In what was a complete contrast in sharpshooting, Ormond eventually won the game 16.29 toParade’s accurate 19.5 and the critical news came through;NOBS had gone down to the Blacks and Ormond finishedin fourth place. Best players – Hardham, Naylor, Bourne,Herkess, Buckley, Boyanton (Ormond) and C Hughes,Grills, P Wood, McGough (5), B Considine (4), Roe(Paradians).In B Section Old Haileyburians joined Old Trinity forrelegation to C Section as they struggled against top teamAJAX and lost 9.9 to 17.17. Haileybury put up a reasonablefight until half time but AJAX powered away in the second

with ‘‘FFeerrggaall’’ SShhaarrkkeeyy they weregreat targets up forward all day forthe home side. At three quartertime coach Naumoff saw his sidehad registered sixteen majors and missed just three shots.This was an outstanding return. RRoohhaann SSccootttt and BBeennPPiicckkeerriinngg tried to ignite the visitors in the final term but thegap was too great to close and they missed out on the win anda finals berth. Monash left the field proud of their effort buthave gone down to D4 with some six wins. Considering eightwins plays finals you would be shattered. It’s their first visit tothe lowest grade since 1998 which is amazing. Butconsidering it was the Gryphons who have the youngestsenior squad going around, their future is rosy and thisdemotion might be nothing more than a speed hump in theiroverall journey.

So with the bottom of the ladder sorted and the top foursettled now the attention turned to see who would finish insecond or third position. If the X Men were to gain thatvaluable top two berth they had to gain a win at Elsternwick. Attimes Dennis Grace’s men have started big games poorly andtoday was no exception. An eleven goal romp from the awayoutfit in the first term embarrassed the ‘Wicks and all butdecided the result for the day. The long term coach now wasfuming at the quarter time huddle and simply told his sidesome home truths. Get working. And get it working together.Suddenly the game was even and the goals flowing at bothends. The home side realise that the hard work they do to winthe ball is rewarded through the genius of SSccootttt GGrraaccee and bigDDaavvee SSmmiitthh. And it was LLuukkee SSiimmmmoonnss who got things rollingfor the red and black brigade showing great form. The marginhad been cut from 79 points early in the 2nd term to just 2points late in the final term and coach Lenders was urging hismen to keep positive and move the ball to their targets inPPaabbsstt and SSppeenncceerr. They were able to hold on in this epicfinish which saw the X Men need all their great players to showtrue form to take the points away. If this game means anythingon form then Elsternwick are very much in the mix to win afinal even though they finish fourth with an 8-10 record. Alsothe X Men would be confident in their massive game against

Bentleigh. We also congratulate Ben Spencer for winning theD3 leading goal kicker award. His total of 61 goals was afantastic effort considering he played a lot of football duringthe season in the midfield.

St Mary’s Salesian who have been extremely confident oftaking this competition for some weeks now had a chance tosew up second spot with a trip to the Zoo and a match withUni High. Blustery conditions greeted both sides who enjoyedan even first half where goals were shared between AAlleexxLLeeaacchh and RRyyaann SStteevveennss. The visitors were from thereinaccurate and wasteful going forward and the ramificationsof their actions has sent them into a sudden death final.Eleven behinds was a slight disaster whilst for the home teamthis was a positive end to a some what flat season.

The West Brunswick Magpies in 50 years have had successbut sadly 2009 never hit the really high notes. There weremoments like Saturday though when they simply outclassedthe Hawks all day to run out big winner son the score board.The Hawks usual fortress that is Rathmines Road reserve isno longer since Peter Tyson left the helm and a new breed ofplayers came to town. They never really held sides to lowscores this time round the Hawks and that hurt most games.The Magpies wrapped up with a 70 point away win withMMaaccGGuuggaann and LLaayylleeyy most effective. They may be a forcenext year as they do take their A Grade on the road oftenenough.

Huge thanks for the reports in season 2009. Jono Healy atMonash deserves special mention along with Dennis Graceand Colin Page at Elsternwick, Chris Seuren at SFX and MickVerberne at the ‘House

TTIIPPSS FFOORR FFIINNAALLSS –– Coming off zero from five, I make these with a low degree ofconfidence . . . Saturday Bentleigh versus SStt FFrraanncciiss XXaavviieerrGoing with the X Men just by just 6 points. Their top five playersshould adjust well to Scammell in hopefully fine conditions.Their scoring ability has increased and that is the key.Seems ridiculous to pot a 16-2 side but just feel this will beextremely close all day with the lower ranked side to prevail.

Sunday St Mary’s Salesian versus EEllsstteerrnnwwiicckkI think this is even tougher. Elsternwick did beat St Mary’sSalesian at Ferndale 15 days ago and then the round 18results firmly should place the red and balck unit asfavourites. But Scammell is a consideration and the fact thatmaybe this is where the focus has been for SMS the past fewweeks. Say 14 points.


As I drove home from the footy yesterday in busy Melbournetraffic I had time to reflect on the season and what I had beenlucky to witness since April. Our great game means differentthings to different people but for me it’s about peoplecompeting fairly and doing their best week in week out with asmile at day’s end. I have been lucky to coach a flag, painfullycoached some huge losses but it always comes back to thepeople, your mates, your foes, who make it all worth it.

There was some feeling at Ross Gregory in the last homegame for Powerhouse. They needed a win or at least a veryhonourable loss to survive in the section. Their assignment onpaper was brutal, defeat Bentleigh who boasted some 16 wins.Sure they took confidence from the fact they did defeat themearlier on but their good form since has been absent. Bentleighrested JJaammeess RRoobbeerrttssoonn but had expectations of a good showand inside a minute kicked a great goal. LLuukkee FFoorrrreesstt wasrunning from end to end and opening up the hosts but thenthey gradually started to win some contests and move the ballwith purpose. RRhhyyss HHuummpphhrreeyyss was silky with all his first halftouches and AAddaamm CCoolllleetttt showed his finishing was of thehighest standard. Five goals each at half time had the crowdwondering if Bentleigh could come out and simply blast thelesser rated side away. However the ‘House continued to workharder and kept their heads about them to score eleven secondhalf goals. BBaahhrr and DDrriieesssseenn just won so many ‘fifty fifty’balls through the day it made the difference. The end of thegame saw the end of playing careers of DDaammiieenn BBoollaanndd andDDaarrrreenn CCooooppeerr. A changing of the guard at the lake now withthese two club champions having said goodbye on a win. TheBentleigh form is not a worry but they were disillusioned withthe officials efforts on the day and drove south down thehighway refocusing for the finals.

So with that result Monash needed a win and a massive one atthat to stay in the section. Their opponent St John’s neededvictory to grab fourth spot so the interest at East Caulfield wasimmense. To be successful the Gryphons needed to converttheir chances all day and ensure they started, continued andended well. CChhrriiss LLeeeettoonn bought his A game on this occasionand continued his terrific second half of the season. Along

Building or Renovating?

The final round didn’t quite serve up the surprises thatbeckoned, however certainly saw some tight battles asseveral lower ranked sides took the game right to their morehighly rated opponents in an attempt to either make finals orleave one last mark on the competition. Hopefully all thesides that have finished will enjoy the off-season and lookforward to a fresh start in 2010. I offer commiserationsparticularly to Mt Lilydale who missed at the final step, andwill rue injuries through the middle of the year. At their bestthe Rams would have been worthy Grand Final contenders,however sometimes that is the way the cookie crumbles.Exciting times now beckon for the five sides left, with SouthMornington competing in their first finals series, RichmondCentral returning after many years, Albert Park searching fortheir first flag, and already heading to D3, and Latrobe Uniand Kew seeking to return to the higher echelons of the past.At the College the Falcons enjoyed first use of the breeze andsteadily built a solid 5 goal lead with Tom King continuing hisdominant year at centre half forward. On the back of somegood running football from Daniel Cerra, in a second termwhich lasted a remarkable 40 minutes, the Rams struck backwith a flurry of late goals> JJuussttiinn RRoobbeerrttss was alsoprominent as the margin was reduced to a couple of pointsat the last break. In a tense third term Mt Lilydale defendedstoutly and were able to restrict Albert Park to a 3 goal leadat the final change. In the last though the Falcons ran andran, and you guessed it, ran, with SSttuuaarrtt MMaauunnddeerr andBBrreennddaann MMuurrnnaannee typically creative up forward. At the finalbuzzer the Falcons had sewn up top spot and promotion toD3, unfortunately for the Rams relegating them from the topfive in the process.In the second game with a significant bearing on the finalmake-up of the top five, Manningham hosted SouthMornington. The Cobras won the toss and enjoyed first useof the breeze. With BBeenn CCooookkssoonn in vintage form, the homeside was able to create a 21pt lead at the first change. Likethe Tigers, Manningham managed to kick a couple againstthe wind, and appeared to be heading into the half-time withan important lead, however elusive forward NNiicckk WWoooodd,popped up with a couple of quick goals, including his 50th,and helped South to a narrow lead. In the third the topsy-

turvy nature of the contestcontinued as RRyyaann DDaalleeyydominated through themiddle for the Cobras, andSouth were staring down thebarrel at ¾ time. SSaamm WWrriigghhttwho had been brilliant all day sparked the Tigers, and withCCooll iinn OO’’BBrriieenn in his 100th dour in defence, and GGrraanntt RRyyaannkicking a couple, South Mornington surged home, and intotheir first senior finals campaign.Chadstone were ferocious in the first term, taking the gameright up to the Snakes, who were a little shell-shockedinitially as the impressive KKiieerraann CCoonnrraauu dominated.Richmond quickly adjusted though and in the second‘‘PPoorrsscchhee’’ PPoooonnaassaammyy revved his engine, and almost single -handedly tore the game open. A tight contest quickly becamea rout as RRuurryy LLiiddddiiee also displayed some of his trademarkclass. In the third the Synners again stepped up their game,but were unable to make the required inroads intoRichmond’s lead, and the Snakes carried on through the last,with CChhrriiss CCrroouugghh finding some important form coming intoand exciting finals series.In a game of contrasting styles, North Brunswick’s runnersattempted to combat the big marking Bear outfit. In the firsthalf JJaassoonn HHaarrkkiinnss and AAddaamm JJeeffffrreeyy showed theircounterparts a clean set of heels, and with BBeenn WWiill lliiaammsskicking accurately an upset was well and truly looming. Kewto their credit tightened their defence in the third quarterholding North top a solitary behind. GGrreegg BBeellll took controlon the ruck, and HHeeaatthh MMccDDeerrmmootttt controlled the air. At thefinal change the Bears established a two goal lead. In the lastNorth threw everything at Kew, however with the allimportant double chance beckoning, the Bears held on.AAnnddrreeww DDeehhnneerrtt was fantastic all day for the victors, whilstSSaannddyy FFaammuullaarrii was impressive for North Brunswick.Eley Park notched up their third win on the trot to finish ofthe season as they comfortably won the battle of Box Hill.After a good first quarter from the Demons, led by CameronListon, the Sharks dominated. SStteevveenn BBuuggeejjaa, the evergreenMMiicchhaaeell VViioollaa and AAddrriiaann PPiill llaayy were in everything as EleyPark dominated the second quarter then ran away with the

contest in the third. Only some inaccurate kicking preventeda far larger margin.After an inaccurate first quarter where they kicked threegoals seven, Latrobe Uni tuned up nicely for the finals with adominant performance against Swinburne. Enjoying thespaces of their huge ground, Latrobe benefited from the runof BBrraadd VVaann OOooii,, LLeeiigghh CCooffffeeyy,, and clever forward GGeerreemmiieeGGaanniinnoo. SSttuuaarrtt PPaatttteenn was in ominous form with eight goals,whilst at the other end, competition goal-kicking leader AAttttiillaaYYaammaann was starved of opportunities.I would like to take the time to thank all the presscorrespondents for the year, and their efforts in improvingthe articles that you read. It would be fantastic to receivereports from all teams in finals, including reserves, andplease keep team of the year nominations coming.

The Bears will be hoping that players likeCCrraaiigg HHoorrnnee,, SStteepphheenn DDuukkee,, and JJaarrrroodd PPooxxoonn are fit, orthey may find the task beyond them. At the same time TTiimmBBaaggnnaall ll has established himself as one of the premierforwards in the competition and GGrreegg BBeellll continues to beone of the top ruckmen. LaTrobe is a very even side. Theycertainly have some class players, none less than CoachDDeeaann SShheellddrriicckk, key forward SSttuuaarrtt PPaatttteenn, and the Pres.BBrraadd VVaann OOooii, but it is their spread of talent that may provethe edge.

Big Moustafa will have tostep up for the Bullants and kicksome sausage rolls to support his goal kicking midfield. Thewide spaces at Sportscover Arena have suited the Oaks moreso than the Bullnats this year.

UHS in my opinion have been a more consistent side allyear and deserve their finals spot. If UHS can keep TomSullivan quiet they may go close to doing enough to win withtheir midfield’s strong defensive pressure which has provedthe difference in a number of close matches. On the otherhand UHS will have to rely on “Plugger” Sullivan to keepHenry quiet whose 32 goals have been against some handyopposition. Although they haven’t beaten them I believe thatUHS’s midfield is superior to St Bernards and for mine UHSwill get the chocolates by 8 points.KKeeyy PPllaayyeerrss:: UHS/Flem: Everist, Moore, Coombe, FreeSStt BBeerrnnaarrddss:: T.

Under 18sby Joe Morsello

JJooeeyy’’ss JJaarrggoonnAnd then their were four. Just another rubbish cliché I havegiven you this year. Fine effort in Round 18 of the tipping topunch in four winners but more importantly its finals time,and Sportscover Arena Friday night and Saturday morningthere promises to be two tight clashes between fourdeserved finalists. For the big one the bookies have firmedOakleigh into $1.55 with the Bullants not far away at $2.45.Plenty of value about for UHS / Flem at $11 and the Snowdogs at $14. Let’s see what happened in the last round ofUnder 18 footy for 2009.....

LLaasstt RRoouunndd::UUHHSS // FFlleemm vv OOlldd CCaammbbeerrwweellll:: Old Camberwell came outfiring for their last hit out for 2009 and although it was alltight at the final turn the UHS boys stuck to their guns andsaluted by 14 points to hold onto third spot. It was Habel andBourke down back who were the key to UHS’s victory, alongwith Allen in the ruck who was a consistent performerthroughout. For Camberwell, Benson and Tenace finished ona good note.OOaakklleeiigghh vv SStt BBeerrnnaarrddss:: St Bernards made the early trekdown the freeway to meet Oakleigh and gave a good accountof themselves a week out from the finals. Despite not takingthe points the Snow dog lads would have taken someconfidence out of this one. Hunt and Scott proved thedifference in the midfield and for St Bernards it was Sullivanagain showing his class.TThheerrrryy PPeennoollaa vv NNoorrtthheerrnn BBuull llaannttss:: The Bullants startedslowly but their midfield got on top to run away 42 pointwinners. Therry tried their best in their last hit out for 2009but unfortunately lacked the Bullants class. Better players forTherry were Jones and B. Ratcliffe. For the Bullants, Violaand Sutton were the main destroyers.

SStt BBeeddeess//MMeennttoonnee TTiiggeerrss vv SStt MMaarryyss//SSaalleessiiaann::Unfortunately for St Bedes they left their run too late as theirwin was soured with news of them missing the four despitea 64 point victory. Shipsides was good again and staked hisclaim for a team of the year spot. For St Marys Batchler andDocker tried their hardest.

out the day. De La Blues cappedoff the home and away seasonwith a 20 goal drubbing ofMarcellin who no doubt willregroup and be a force in South 1.

11sstt SSeemmii FFiinnaall –– OOlldd SSccoottcchh vvssUUnnii BBlluueessWhen these two sides met a fewweeks ago it was Uni Blues whotook the chockies however my gutinstinct is the OS coaching staffmay have been reluctant to showtheir hand. That said though UniBlues have been flying down thehome strait only to come up shortagainst the highly rated Dinomites. Ash Lim and the OSrucks hold the key for mine, if they get on top early UniBlues will pay however The Bluebaggers have some gunsof their own and no doubt the names Townley, Nice andMcClure will be keeping Doddy up late Friday night. OldScotch by 2 goals.

2nd Semi Final – Old Xavarians vs De La Salle (Blues)Will this be the Muller vs Noonan show or the Murphy vsBuckley show. Read either of the team sheets and youcan’t help but be impressed with the talent that will runaround in this game. De La Salle are an awesome unitand will be hard to top however if anyone can pick a waythrough the star studded midfield and half back line it’sDino and his boys. Let’s hope the Sandy Doctor can stayaway until Sunday night as this will be a cracker. De Laby 3 goals.

The topteam faulted in their first loss of the season, as Old Careycame back from a first quarter deficit. B. Elzarka wassuperb in the finals like clash.St Bernards smashed Banyule Viewbank, but without anyincentive for the effort, narrowly missing out on the fourdue to Old Carey’s win.

UU1199 PPrreemmiieerrWelcome to the finals. Congrats to De La Salle (Blues) onwinning yet another minor premiership and to Old Xavs,Old Scotch and Uni Blues who also join them in postseason. Before we have a look at this weeks Semi’s aquick look back at round 18.Uni Blacks traveled to Bulleen Road to meet Old Trinity intheir last Premier engagement before returning to North1 and made life difficult for an under manned OT outfit.After a lack luster first half Blacks fired into life in the 3rdquarter and then ran away with it to record a solid 10goal win just to help those end of season drinks tasteslightly better. Tommy Cerini was at his best for The T’swhile for Uni Blacks Tyran Bell and Shane McNamara gotamongst the votes.An even first quarter in the match between Old Scotchand Beaumaris kept their rivalry bubbling along but TheShark’s resistance waned in the second as The Cardsslotted through 5 goals 8 to Beauy’s solitary point in thesecond stanza. Contrasting fortunes in the third as it wasthe Scotchies midfield who went to sleep allowing TheBaysiders back into the contest with a big quarterhowever Old Scotch were kicking to the scoring end inthe last and ran out comfortable 6 goal winners. Beauycan be proud of their efforts finishing 5th in their firstseason in the top flight while the welcome return to formof Old Scotch is just what the doctor ordered as they lookto a 1st Semi Final against Uni Blues.Finals contenders Old Xavarians squared the 2009 ledgeragainst Uni Blues in their clash at Parkville. The contestwas on a knife edge with The Bluebaggers only 3 pointsdown late in third term but Xavs with Hamish Buckley infine form powered away to win this battle by animpressive 6 goals. Better players on the day includedWoods, Cross and Davies in Black and Red while in Blackand Blue Vickers-Willis, Robertson and Llewyn Butler gotamongst it.St Bedes Mentone Tigers visited Rupertswood who wereplaying for their Premier lives and The Woodsman didn’tdisappoint rolling The Beders by 10 goals. Adam Jones(SBMT) capped off a stellar season with another eyecatching performance although it was Rupo’s LachlanMcKenna who proved to be the difference smashing in 6goals on his way to a best on performance thatconfirmed 2010’s Premier sides will be making the trekout to Sunbury again.It couldn’t have got much worse for The Eagles, comingup against our rampant ladder leaders and needing tobeat them by a huge margin to maintain their Premierstatus things got ugly early and didn’t improve through

RRoouunndd 1188 RReevviieeww -- NNoorrtthh 22Aquinas won their last match of the year over La Trobeby 15 points infront of a home crowd. Aver, North 2’s stargoal kicker of 2008, kicked 5 in his first game for the 19sthis season after a productive year in the seniors.Ivanhoe finished Old Xav’s late run, and forcedthemselves into the 4 in the last round of the home andaway season, knocking them off by 7 goals. C.Petricevich was instrumental for the Hoes, booting 6majors, the key if Ivanhoe can knock off Old Westbornenext week.Old Geelong knocked off bottom side Rupertswood toguarantee form into the finals. Kent, Officer and Pricebooted 17 between them in a demolition down inSunbury. Swallow was the best in the last game forRupie.Old Westborne secured 3rd spot and bumped Emmausout of the 4 in their final game, victors by 35 points. A 5goal to none last quarter snatched the heart out of the StLeos faithful, Turner again turning on a show through themidfield.And Therry has comfortably matched Fitzroy, beating theRoys by 104 points. Will Dean was a vital contributorwith 6 majors, McMahon booted 5, and Cannatellidominated around the stoppages.

WWeeeekk 11 ffiinnaallss -- NNoorrtthh 22Can’t go past Old Westborne, with recent form overTherry and Emmaus in their last 2 games, should be toostrong for Ivanhoe, by 30 points.Therry to continue the hoodoo over Old Geelong andsneak narrow victory, by a goal.

UU1199 SSoouutthh 11 aanndd 22RReevviieeww::Yes I’ve been sniffing for that finals action for some timenow and you little Beauty!! It is here!! We have waited 18long rounds but finally we are there. More on thatshortly. Ormond will begin my review this week as theyhave fallen from grace after being 2nd on the ladder last

week to now finding themselves out of this seasonsfinals series after the Melburnians defeated the Mondersby 21 points. P. May and A. Armstrong were the realdanger men for the burners as they aided there side toanother win and some good form heading into thefinals.

I will keep this one short as De La Salle had a trainingrun against Mazenod this week getting up by just the 31goals. A. Zaia was best afield after he booted a lazy 8goals. The battle was won this week by the Fielders whodefeated Old Haileybury by 22 points. Best afield for theFielders was R. Lewis.

Collegians who finished the year off so well would leaveseason 09 disappointed after an 11 goals drubbing bythe Brighters this week. T. Tickell and J. Portelli bothbooted 4 sausage rolls but it was A. Dewar who wasnamed best on ground.

PPrreevviieeww::OOlldd MMeellbbuurrnniiaannss vvss.. OOlldd BBrriigghhttoonn:: Hard to go past theladder leaders heading into the 1st week of the finals butI am going to tip the underdogs this week. Old Brightonhave hit their straps at the right time this season and Ibelieve the momentum is with them and feel they willclinche this one in a nail bitter. Old Brighton by 2 goals.

DDee LLaa SSaallllee vvss.. SStt KKeevviinnss:: Terrific effort from De La tohost a 2nd side in the under 19's competition and makethe 4. They have been up against the odds all year and Iam not going to jump off the band wagon now. De La by5 goals in a very tough contest.

SSoouutthh 11RReevviieeww::One word this week people, FINALS!!! You little Rippa.Kick things off this week with two teams that may meetagain come finals time as the Hampton Rovers defeatedthe Mentonians by 7 points. J. Sperring was best for thehome side and for the away team it was E. Macquirewho battled his guts out all day long.

Ajax find themselves in all sorts a week before the finalsas they copped a belting this week at the hands of arampaging Bentleigh who defeated the Jackers by 4goals. B. Morrison booted 6 and looks to be Bentleighsreal weapon in this years finals series.

In other matches it was Monash defeating the Pirates by71 points as L.Waldron and D.Hood put on a clinic forthe home side. Prahran finished their season off with athrilling win over Beauy and Parkdale finished theirseason off in style with a whopping 129 point win overMHSOB. For the Vultures it was R. Irvine who stole theshow.

PPrreevviieeww:: HHaammppttoonn RRoovveerrss vvss.. AAjjaaxx:: Ajax in big trouble this weekas the Rovers are a ball of momentum and Ajax are aticking time bomb ready to self destruct. It will be analmighty upset if the Jackers were able to get up but Ican't see it happening. Rovers will triumph by acomfortable 7 goals.

BBeennttlleeiigghh vvss.. OOlldd MMeennttoonniiaannss:: Can the Mentonians stopbig bustling B. Morrison as he seems the real problemfor the Tonners this week. This one could go either wayin my opinion even though Bentleigh have been in somesensational form of late, I believe the Tonners may gainsome old team members back and could well cause anupset. I will play it safe this week and tip Bentleigh by 6goals but keep an eye on this one because there could bean upset on the cards.

SSeeccttiioonn 22Old Brighton culminateda seven game winningstreak with winning thePremiership by thirteen points over Marcellin. Likethe phoenix, Old Brighton surged from the ashes ofdespair to win over minor premiers, UniversityBlacks, in Round 12 and under the tutelage ofrejuvenated Coach, Marcus Barber the players havecarried all before them since that July day.The wind played a big part in deciding the outcomeof this game. Old Brighton started with its aid and ledby twenty one points at the first change. Marcellinutilized the wind but only led by a point at half time.Old Brighton then were able to build a twenty onepoint lead by the last change.The fourth quarter saw Old Brighton mount manyattacks to the Glen Huntly Road end only forMarcellin defenders to repel them all. At the otherend and in the mid field the superior aerial strengthof Old Brighton came into force as they defendedstoutly and held Marcellin to a solitary goal, whichmeant Old Brighton won by thirteen points.Significantly Marcellin’s two scoring shots at theGlen Huntly Road end in the first quarter were theonly scores there for the game.Congratulations go to Old Brighton and to KarlSheehan, who was adjudged “Best on the Ground”.Other good players for the Premiers were: MatthewJackson, Ewert and Alcock. Marcellin, who were unable to reproduce the formwhich qualified them for the Grand Final, haveenjoyed a successful season in the higher grade.Their better players included; Leigh Hanson, Coach,Dustin Cracknell, veteran Garry Petroff (the leadinggoal kicker in Section 2) and the Matthews Brothers.Congratulations were given to Monash Bluesruckman, Keith Perry who won the Best and FairestAward in Section 2.

NNoorrtthhCongratulations go to Old Essendon, who set uptheir Premiership win over Old Ivanhoe with adominant opening quarter, when they kicked sixunanswered goals. Old Ivanhoe were never able tomake up this deficit and by the game’s end they hadbarely passed the Old Essendon quarter time scoreInaccuracy in the second quarter did not help OldIvanhoe’s chances as they trailed by twenty points athalf time. Aided by the increasing wind intensity OldEssendon went further ahead in the third quarter andled by thirty six points at the last change. The lastquarter saw old Ivanhoe score two goals but theyconceded one to their opponents at the GlenhuntlyRoad end which virtually halted the Ivanhoe advancebefore Old Essendon ran out twenty seven pointwinners.Best for the Premiers included: John Hughes, whowas adjudged as “Best on the Ground”, Captain Tim.Campbell and Jeremy Williamson.For Old Ivanhoe Tieman, Delaney, Paine and Goldenwere best.Each of these teams deserves commendation forqualifying for the Grand Final in its comebackseason.Congratulations go to Luca Guerra (Old Carey) whowon the Section goal kicking.Elmi Amarch, (Therry Penola), Matthew Shanks(Whitefriars) and Nicholas Everett (Old Carey) tiedfor the section Best and fairest award.Congratulations go to all three.

SSeeccttiioonn 11Collegians have won their first Section 1Premiership. This fact and the final score line, givingthe “Lions” victory by sixty five points will berecorded in V.A.F.A. annals. What won’t be as easilyrecalled will be the unprecedented last quarter surgeproduced by Collegians to turn a three quarter timedeficit of two points into the huge win. Twelve goalsin a quarter is not a common football event… muchless so twelve goals kicked in seventeen minute’splaying time (plus one kicked by Old Xaverians)For the first three quarters the game was a closelycontested and low scoring one with neitherCollegians nor Old Xaverians 2 able to breakawayfrom the other’s persistent pressure. Then came thedeluge!Best for Collegians included; Luke Schnoknecht, whowas awarded the King / Landrigan Medal for beingnamed “Best on the Ground”, twin co – captainsMatt. and Simon Day (4 goals), Blair McDonough,who dominated in the mid field, and left footedflanker, Josh. Heard, who kicked three goals. Namingthese players could be considered unfair to so manyothers who contributed to Collegians victory.Old Xaverians, who led the competition for most ofthe season, were overrun and could find no answerto Collegians last quarter heroics. Their betterplayers included; Lynch, Ockleshaw, Lukatis andMorton.Congratulations go to Collegians, to Jason Storer(Prahran) who won the competition Best and Fairestaward for the third time and to Edward Cooper (OldMelburnians), who was the leading goal kicker inSection 1.

SSoouutthhOld Melburnians again defeated Ormond for thethird time in three weeks. In the Grand Final theirwinning margin was reduced to eighty sevenpoints. Ormond started brightly and against allexpectations led by three points at quarter time.Unfortunately their players could not sustain themomentum and Old Melburnians took control andincreased their margin as the game progressed.Ormond did not score in the last quarter, whichaided the Melburnian’s margin.Best for Old Melburnians included: William Harris,who in addition to being judged “Best on theGround” also tied for the Section Best and Fairestaward with David Logan from Old Scotch. Ray (5goals), Wright and Phillips also played well.For Ormond the consistent, Brown, Broadbent,Calvert and Holman were again prominentCongratulations to Old Melburnians who lost onlyonce for the season and to Ormond who have beenfinalists in their first two seasons in the section.

Scott Saunders (Caulfield Grammarians) won theSection goal kicking. Congratulations go to himand to William Harris and David Logan for theiraward.
