that the dates for the Executive seminar have been set (October 1 3and 14) most of the advisory groups to the VAFA's Executive Committee arebusily preparing submissions for the Executive which each group believe svill lead to a betterment of Amateur football . The Rules Revie wCommittee, which looks at the rules and many of the procedures governin gIie way our competition is run, meets in the next ten days to talk and pu t
together its submission. A group representing the Presidents, who met aiortnight ago, meets soon with an Executive sub-group for assistance in itssubmission which will be presented face to face with the Executive at th eseminar.

OFFICER
I ;-<tremely disappointing to see the terrible photograph in last week's Age of an Amateur player,cigarette and can of beer in hand wearing a training jumper sporting an old SmokeFree logo . We aretinder no doubt that this photograph was a set-up - the "ocker" Aussie male and the clean cutJapanese lad, however the Amateur club has to show cause to the Executive Committee why it (theclub) and/or the player should not be heavily penalised for bringing Amateur football into disreputethrough allowing such a photograph to be published. The accompanying write-ups to the originalphoto and the following days' responses require a definite statement from the VAFA .The first day after the photo was published Football V ictoria was quoted as saying they would beseeking a°please explain" from the VAFA as they (FV) "control our Association. "The day after this the Age allowed invited us to put the record straight and it is worth repeating todaybecause clubs and administrators the length and breadth of the VAFA were hell bent that we shouldnever lose any independence when Football Victoria was established .The truth of the matter is that we signed a membership agreement with Football Victoria which
meant we became an affiliate of that body . We argued long and hard to have the words "control of'struck from our agreement as we fiercely preserved the right to run our competition independently
.uzd free of any intervention .
We have lost the independence to deal directly with our former major sponsor (now Level 6 sponsor)VicHealth, as that body has seen fit to allocate funds to the one peak body in each sport it isassociated with . We accept that decision and look forward to promoting well the many healthmessages that VicHealth will require the VAFA to promote . In all other areas we will consider anypolicies "rolled out" by Football Victoria but will then make our decisions as to whether they are bestfor our competition .
Good news for the busy and exciting weeks ahead . The canteen and after match bar prices a tLlsternwick Park (Sportseover Arena) and the gate
admittance prices to all finals venues will stay as they werefor 2002. The Executive and the EP caterer are to be
congratulated in showing this positive lead, especially assport and entertainment continues to become more andmore expensive .
All the best today to all clubs engaged in vital last roundmatches and to clubs embarking on the 2003 finals series .We look forward to many spirited contests played in hardbut fair Amateur traditions .

has flagge dMelburnian sfor a full pre-se< 'Daffy, who joined c
:3 mid-season, will
play on if his knee permits and says he hashad a whale of a time in his one and a half
games under fellow ex-Tiger Justin Pickering.
"I'd like to do a full pre-season and see what
happens," Daffy said Lrsis week .
"Hopefully we can stay in A Section. I feel a bit
slow and a bit out of shape and I've usually gotsomebody running after me, but if I get fit I
can deal with that ."After a while I'll realise more where the ballgoes and where it's meant to go - it's different
from playing in the AFL ."But you have to admire the guys for just
having a crack and they're great guys down
there . "Daffy is playing against his doctor's advice,having worn down the cartilage in his
bl some knee .

over -"•<°s guarar -=ed a spot in x o cc~ :o n
or ne _ason. The club was chuffed with the
return Glenn Cox, who played a peach of agame after serving out a suspension, and
David Johnston .
The news is obviously not so good for theBlues, but they still appear safe .
While both , and old Melhad wins, the Blues' percentage is likely to
keep them out of the drop zone even if they
lose their final game .
Both Old Melburnians and St Revs havedaunting tasks today, and still very little
percentage separates them.
Calculators will be put to good use this
afternoon if both win or if both lose .
And we suspect mobile phone companies wi make a few bob this afternoon as people makf
calls between the grounds .trou eBut as he says, at 30 he is too young to bedoing nothing and would still be playingleague footy if it weren't for a wretched run
with injuries .Much of his link with Old Melburnians eame
through teammate Brendon Gale, who is also
a mate of Pickering's. Gale, the distinguished
ex-ruckman, played with both during his 244
games at Tigerland.Daffy came to Richmond just as Pickering wasleaving, but he remembers his new coach well
from the days at Punt Road ."He was one of the first to come up and sayG'day when I first went down there," Daffy
said.Good manners, it seems, can come back with
a bit of interest .

T ;::AT'S A TURNAROUND
old Melburnians stunning win over St
gernards not only kept the club out of the
r, legation zone, it was also one of the greatest
,jbout-faces in suburban football this year. In
round 8, St Bernards humiliated the Redlegs
;;1 .24 (210) to 4 .12 (36) only to upstaged at
borne last weekend. Old Melburnian's eight-
point win makes it a 182-point reversal . That's
a smidgen more than 30 goals .
Then there's the turnaround inside a match,
: hich happened in relegation rival St Kevins'
ulatch against Old Ivanhoe . St Kevs' were
down by 38 points at the five-minute mark of
[lie final quarter only to hit the front with
niinutes to go .
TIGHTAt the other end of the ladder, Old FlaiTeybury
-aid Old Trinity are grappling for the last
('inal's spot . Old Trinity has an inferior
percentage, and will probably need Old
gaileybury to go down to Marcellin . It also
needs to beat St Bernards .
T H E BsThey've dubbed them The Killer Bs at Old
:>averians, match-winning trio Beetham,
Biddleeambe and Brushfield . The men on the
best list - who were joined by Damian Orlando
- helped the Xavs complete a perfect home
record for the home and away season . And
people say the trip to St Bernards is the most
ardent journey in amateur football . . .
THE DILEMMA
Footballers have talked about it for years : do
you play or attend the birth of your child?
Somebody who wasted no time deliberating
the point was the president of Old Xaverians .
Davina Connors-Calhaem is expected to
give birth some time this week. We wish her
all the best .

Rovers were right in the game until the middle stagesof a fiery last quarter where the class of Whiteftlarstook over to allow them to score a 5 goal victory . t Not too
sure Greg Feutrill would be totally happy
form with finals coming. Buckets was on fire with 8,The
the younger Cuz played well, as I b die AdamGaN Carr wasbig Chief never stopped trying ,
in the ump's votes and the Rovers unleashed youngGuy Marlyn, a player of the future .
St Bedes Mentone Tigers went on a rampage agains t
an injury ridden illness plagued 0 l- - Hans unit .
Total dominance at the center breaks is the key tothe Tigers game as they dominated proceedings as it
took the Paradians until the last stanza to show any
semblance of form . Moose McCraw was in fantastic
touch, as was Andrew Haves with 7 twins, Sammy
Hecker was at it gain . Matt Hyde tried hard for OPS,
along with Martin Joyce and Adrian Heffernan .
North Old Boys were certainly hoping to win their last
game at home but alas it wasn't to be, with the result
looking better for them if they perhaps hadn't shut up
11 earl in the last term . They say "Don't Know"
®ici Dighton put in a
pretty poor effort somuch so that for the
first time this season
Jarred O'Neill was in a dilemma and forced to berate
his players . zeno€1 were good and must now be
totally lamenting their poor start to the season TheTonners had almost their entire forward line on the
sidelines and hopefully will welcome their return soon .
Morris and Maskell dangerous yet again, JeromeDunne led well, with Perrett, Dickerson and Hughe ;
best for the Tonners .
PREVIEWAnd so to the final Round, for some a chance to s e
back and reflect on what might have been for others a
exciting 4 weeks ahead as the Melbourne sun appear
in the fight for ultimate glory A PREMIERSHIP .
De La Salle welcome Hampton Rovers to Malverc
Will be playing for keeps as well the home side 2
mathematically they are not totally safe. Hamptc
Rovers inability to run out a game has cost them dearin the past few weeks and to have a chance today th
must play 4 quarters . Rovers are playing for prid
while the stakes are much higher for De La and f;
lure of September action will see them over the line .
Tough gig for North Old Boys out at Friar Pa
tei jars will be looking to hone their skills a
sha**~Pn their game plan with finals looming. Will
Mazenodv Maskell
s op ydoesn't know but I reckon he does and has theBombers hitting their straps at the right end of the
season. Young Stormy son of Tony was the Bomber's
best . The old in Scott Sleep in his 100th game and the
young in Rocky Davidson were the best for North .
S4B certainly gave it everything they had and took
the game right up to De La Salle who eventually came
away with a 23 point victory in a pretty torrid affair .
The Unicorns started very well and it took the Blue and
Golds a long time to shake them off to get 4 more very
valuable points . Jeff Morel was outstanding for De La .
as was Jarred Moloney, while Leigh Harrison was cool
in the crisis. Rhys Limbrick, Stu McCully and Malty
White gave their all for the High

come to play today as the possibility of secon dis still there . OPS will certainly be looking for the
lal siren to end a disappointing season will try hard
I think Mazenod will defeat MHSOB at Sportscover
irena today . But will they win by enough to make up
lhe percentage gap should De La falter that I think not .The Unicorns have been pretty competitive of late and
ccen though their fate is confirmed they are a pretty
competitive unit and will not go down without a fight .i hey like EP and will take it right up to the Nodders
who unfortunately will finish 5th and spend the
summer ruing the missed opportunities .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2003 13
ReviewThe smell of finals is in the air, after the make up of
aft some great nerformances throughout the year .
the final four was finally settled on the weekend. It
turned out to be BYO calculator at Harry Trott andGlenhuntly as the race for fourth was decided by
0 .6% . A kick either way could have seen theVultures sneak above the Sharks but with identicallosing margins, the mathematicians favoured
Beaumaris .The match at Glenhuntly, was tight all day with thelead changing several times throughout the day, asboth sides fought the game out to secure a final's
berth . The Vultures appeared to have clinchedvictory early in the last quarter after a couple ofearly goals but the desperation of Merv's menpulled them back in and ran over the top of the
visitors by 12 points. Mick Sullivan and Shane
Rowley, as always provided options up forwardbooting 5 each for the victors while, captain Andrew
Will was in inspirational form for the home side.
The result left the Vultures in fifth spot and stuck
the Caulfield boys in third. The Vultures will
certainly lay claims to being the best outside the 4,
training track . TheWells are left ruing
their mid season
slump as theycertainly have showed over the past month thatthey have the goods to mix it with the big boys .
The battle to remain in Crunch grade was left in theSaint's hands as a win would guarantee them their
spot for 2004. The match started in desperate
fashion as Glen Eira threw everything at the Mondsforcing their way to a 21 pt lead at qtr time . From
then on it was left to Mark Dimashki, "Bongo"Varnvakas & Andy Taranto to hold on for the home
side and remain above the dotted line . Centreman
Michael Miller tried hard for Ormond .
The final game saw the Oak Park boys run ou1
inners by 28 points over the Two Blues, aft']
trailing by 18 points. Corey Bannister bootec

Head to HeadRd 1 Beaumaris by 3pts at Shark Pa Rd 1
erIt was a bittersweet day for the Sharks at the Trott
who fell into the finals after going down by 12 points
to the Lions . Beaumaris were on the front foot early
serving it up to Collegians with some solid attack onthe ball from Chris Martin and Brayden Haynes .
The Sharks went into the main break full ofconfidence leading by 4 goals but a second halfcomeback led by Brock Mooney and Shura Taft upforward closed the gap to 2 points at the last chat
.
The match was set up for a classic final quarterwith both sides pushing themselves to the limit asthe lead changed several times before the home side
won a great "warm up" final .
OC finished their season off as they started it andknocked off another finalist in convincing fashion
.
A solid third quarter from the visitors as theybooted 8 goals to 1 set the game up as Nigel Credlin

Beaumaris by 10pts at Glenhuntlyif ever a ground favours defence, it is at Beach Rd.Tight pockets, no wings and a guaranteed howlingbreeze make scoring opportunities difficult .Therefore, this game shapes up as being the battleof the backlines as both sides rely on restrictingtheir opposition and then sharing the goals aroundrather than focusing on one spearhead.Apart from a close game, look out for - Caulfield Gr .
- The "six pack" or Merv's backline has beenresolute all year and will be miserly again today .The midfield of Widjaja, Fallu & Craven and captainAndrew Will to ruck. Mark Frater to show the boyshow to play the ground after his years of experienceat the Zebras .Beaumaris - The other backline lead by ChrisMartin and ferocity of Brayden Haynes and Mark
Boon around the ground . Murrav Pitts in full flightand the mercurial Matt Blackmore up forward .It is a surprise to find these 2 sides in a first semias the early form from both sides pointed to apossible Grand Final clash- But one side has to goand Caulfield appear to have been travelling a bitbetter than the Sharks over the last 6 weeks andwill reappear in a couple of weeks to play for a
skilful pla; _r. Among his achievements over hisyears at Beaumaris have been senior and U19premierships, club and competition best andfairests and selection in A grade and Australian
representative sides. Murray was selected in theBeaumaris team of the century and is a proud andpassionate member of our club . This year Murrayhas taken up the position of captain and has growninto this role providing leadership and inspiration
for all those at the club . We wish him well in leadingthe Sharks through the finals .

Taylor certainly has tremendous respect forthe Magpies ."We're certainly aware of what West Brunswickdid last year," he said . "I know that in finals,they're normally pretty good . "Statistics wise, both sides are evenly matched
in all but one department . Both have wontwelve games and have a similar "points

West Brunswick's performance in last year'sD3 finals and their edge over OC in experiencewill hold them in good stead, but OC have thescore on the board and the edge in firepower .

It was a great day for AJAX who won first semis in both seniors
and reserves. In the big game AJAX had a tough time as theywere 25 points down at half time but gradually took control inthe second half to win by 18 points . Best were Ricky Marks .
Ace Gordon (7 goals) Pat, Briskin, Rozeman, Wrobel (AJAX) andMelleworth, Yee, Beazley (MHSOB) .Old Geelong's 118 points won Sportscover's VAFA Tribunal,Investigations and Reserve Umpire programs, and earned
themselves $500 worth of trophies .Collegians pulled out a "big form reversal" defeating North OldBoys in the first semi, powering away and easy first half to win,
17 .23 to 11 .17. Old Hands in James Bennett, Andrew Wrightand Matt Galbraith were stars and were well supported byBrett Jefferson, Vaughan Cleary (4 goals) and Brad Woolhouse .

final scores 20 .19 to 112 .14 .in round 18 Andrew (250) and Tony Wilts (150) chalked up 400games for Old Melburnians . Can any other club produce two
brothers who total more than 300 games?Promotion from 'C' to 'B' was never in doubt for Mazenod
supporters as they led Ivanhoe all day to win 23 .11 (148) to
11 .12 (78). Best were O'Hara, D . Murray, McLean (Maz) and

What a season it has been! Who would have believed back inApril that De La Salle OC would have relegated to 'B' Section orthat Marcellin would feature in the first semi .
Parkside congratulated their coach Wayne Bannister on hismarriage to Carmel 'Chicken Queen' Chiminello . Legendary
Parkside veteran Jack King gave the GROOM away, or so said
the scribe .In good weather Old Xaverians over-powered Marcellin in the

In 'B' section first semi, Therry after a slow start finally got ontop of Bulleen Templestowe to win 13 .15 to 11 .5. Highlight ol
the match was the wonderful duel in the centre betweenNyman (T) and Smythe (BT) . Nyman's performance turned thetide for Therry and he probably shaded Smythe on the day whckicked what could only be described as "some great captain' :
goals". Best were Nyman. Tyler, Matton (Th.) and Smythe
George, Espenschied (BT) .Closest final game of the day was in Junior Section 3 whetMonash Blues beat Hampton Rovers by the solitary point, 8 . ~

Well, the home and away season is done and at 2pm, and Swinburne
dusted, the top four and relegation issues have
been sorted and the stage is set ("where's my
Juliet baby . . . . . . . . .") for what promises to be a Rupertswood were man
fantastic finals series .By the way, don't forget to keep those nominees forD3 Team of the Year coming in . . . . .
ROUND 18 REVIEW In probably the most significant match of the day ,
St . John's OC recorded the win they needed the
most to overcome fellow strugglers Kew at Thomas
Carroll Reserve . The JOCs win saved their necks
while condemning the Ks to the drop, their secondsuccessive relegation .
A fired up Werribee matched Swinburne for skillsand on the scoreboard in the first half of their
clash at Soldiers Reserve . In fact, discounting thethird quarter, Werribee did outscore their
opponents . But an inspirational half time speechby Razorbacks coach Derek Theone saw Swinnyscore seven goals to one, and the visitors ended up
winning by 31 points. As an interesting side note,Matthew Higgins capped off a long awaiting return
with three goals .Bad kicking at goal prevented Elsternwick frommaking a bigger impression in their game againstMonash Gryphons at Elsternwick Park No . 2 ,
going down by 50 points in the end. Malone made -- ~- -- -_
it 18 goals in two weeks with half a dozen, and "Pocock chimed in with three . Foster bagged four
for the Wicks. '~In other games, Rupert swood got home in a
thriller against Syndal Tally Ho at Jordan
Reserve, despite five goals from home skipperCachia and another great game by Rutter; and SwinburneSouth Melbourne Districts got up against Power Monash Gryphons
House in the Lakeside Derby at Lindsay Hasset t
Oval, with Bell and Aqullina getting three each for
the home side .1ST SEMI FINAL
PREVIEW D3 RESERVE
This week sees the D3 first semi final being playe d
this Sunday (yes, Sunday) at McHale (notMcGuire, as some will have you believe) Stadium,
Collingwood, between Rupert swood and South
Melbourne Districts in the seniors, commencing
University and St .
This into the season. This year, despite the
John's OC in the reserves, starting at 11 .30am,
y people's choice as fla gfavourites in the pre-season, and in my opiniondidn't do too badly in relation to these
expectations, for most of this year. Their first and
second halves of the season were similar, at leastin terms of win-loss ratio, and if not for anexceptional second half of the season by MonashGryphons, may well have been in second spot
right now . However, a lack of consistency at times
did betray them at inopportune moments . and
certainly when the grounds got heavier it didimpact on their running game . With the grounds
getting drier again though, and with the size of theMcHale Stadium playing arena, along with thenumber one ranked attack in D3, they could beset to do some damage in the finals .
South Melbourne Districts make it to the finals
for the first time since 2000, when they won theD4 Grand Final against Bentteigh . In the last two
seasons, they have looked like contenders in thefirst half of the year, only to fall away about two-
tightness and intensity in the mid-table chase forfourth spot, the Bloods managed to end up two

games clear of fifth spot come the conclusion ofRound 18 . Yes, some may argue they may have
been fortuitous in that their fellow members of thepeleton lost when they also succumbed to defeat,but if those other teams couldn't get the job done,well who's to say the Bloods don't deserve theirspot in the finals .The main thing against South though is that theirattack lacks the potency of Rupo, and this couldbe especially pertinent if conditions are dry.Suprisingly, despite leading the "points for"category, Rupo had no particular "go to" man, andno one with at least 50 goals in the home andaway season . I actually see this as a strength, inthat there is no dependency on any one player,and this makes them less predictable . I thinkRupertswood had something like three or fourdifferent players kick 10 or more in a game thisseason, so it shows that South cannot put alltheir defensive eggs in the one basket . South willneed to make the most of their renownedphysicality to give them the best possible chance
for victory . I feel though that the firepowerpossessed by Rupertswood will be too much for
the Bloods . Rupo by 32 points.in the reserves, last year's reserves premiers St.
John's OC square off against an improvedSwinburne University combination . While theirrespective senior teams had contrasting fortunes,the gap is somewhat less significant in the twos .Even so, a fair margin in both wins and losses andpercentage suggests the result should goSwinburne's way . It will be interesting to seewhat portion of the JOCs' line up consists of long-time veterans in comparison to their young upand comers, while the Razorbacks line-up mayalso be affected given their seniors participation inthe second-semi next week. I better hurry up andtip a winner.

The controversial match ratio has again claimed an
unfortunate victim. This years recipient Old
Westbourne, after not losing a game by more than 3goals all year and beating every team within the top fiveis left to consider what might have been after missing
out on match ratio . Let's all just hope that a teamplaying one more match than another does not taint
D4's best and fairest award . Nonetheless, the top five isnow sorted and it is anyone's guess who will take out
the ultimate prize .ReviewWith a final's berth still up for grabs St Yary's had towin and wait on other results for their final's fait .
However, it was a determined Richmond Centrals thattook it right up to the Saints with O'Sullivan and Macakfinding space and showing dash . St .Marys put on aburst in the third quarter to build a comfortable bufferthat they maintained until the final siren, thus enablinga jump to fourth spot and a place in the elimination
final .Box Hill North completed an impressive 2003 seasonwith an equally impressive win against Eltham . The
first half saw North completely dominate proceedingswith 28 shots to 11 . The lead was extended in thesecond half, and with Dave Martini putting in anotherblinder and Dave Worrell strong up forward they ran outcomfortable winners by 55 points .
It was all or nothing for Old Westbourne as they
traveled to Uni High School having to win for a place in
the finals . It was the Vultures though who controlledmost of the first term and then cracked the game openwith a dominant second term to lead by 27 at the main
break. The Warriors threw everything at the Vultures inthe second half with "Juck" Horsburgh and Hodgsonplaying well and Berm holding the dangerous Tate,however it was not to be as Captain Cracknell, Hamsand Farrellv turned it on as the students inflicted theWarrior's biggest loss for the year with an 18 point win.
R--,;viewD4 SectiongUAI,IF~'IPdG FINAi,SENIORS - UHS-VUversus Albert ParkGiven the great form of both sides, this match promisesto be one of the D4 matches of the season. Uni HighSchool have proven to all and sundry they are the realdeal, and with their impressive victory last weekendagainst Westbourne, in front of the Albert Park boys,they will be just itching for a chance to take on theDales for a spot in the finals . Albert Park, on the otherhand, will be refreshed from their week off, and giventheir brilliant recent form, today's winner is a difficulichoice indeed .The last time these two teams met, the students toolthe honours in a high scoring affair at home in an everteam performance . I think it will be another crow(pleaser today with two of D4's premier goal kickers iTate and Allen lining tip at opposing ends .
This encounter will be evenly fought for much of thmatch, however, I think that the week's rest may leak,enough fuel in the tank for the Falcons to push ahealate and run away with a 17-point win .
RESERVES - UHS-VU versus St .MarysBoth tearn are evenly matched here today and there wibe no advantages with increased playing stocks as hotteams have their respective senior teams in finalmatches. In the first of their previous two meetingswas the students who destroyed the Saints with Walla(best on ground and in a more evenly fought seconencounter, the students made it two from two with a Ili
goal win . In what I believe will be a tight battle i a
going with the "Green and Tan" to win by 21 points .
However, it appears that only Mount turned up to play,as the return of players from injury saw the Dales gointo the first break with a ten-goal lead . From that pointon it was how far "the Goats", as Dave Callanan, TrevHansford, Clancy McKenzie and Mattie Alderman rippeda disappointing North Brunswick to shreds with a 158-point thrashing .Albert Park had the bye and were interested onlookersat the UHS versus Old Westbourne game, while Bulleenhad a walkover win against the Brunswick Power .

D4 Sectio nELi:,iINATION FINAL - SENIORS - St .Marys versus
North BrunswickAfter last week's efforts from North, the thought of beingin the finals will be counted as a blessing. The likes ofPizzari, Stelfox and Hamilton will be looking forimprovement from their fellow teammates as they lookto turn around their defeat the last time these twoteams met .In that match at the "Postage Stamp", the Saints got thejump in the second quarter and continued on in thefinal quarter for a solid victory, and will be hoping foranother workman like effort today. Ironically, it was thismatch that put a huge dent in North's premiershipaspirations with the loss of the dangerous Care with abroken ankle .Ultimately, I believe that the Saints will have too manywinners for North to counter, and with the likes ofMcLennan, Dti'<yer and Purcell all on fire, I am going tothe Saints to win by a nail biting 8 points .RESERVES - Albert Park versus Old WestbourneAlbert Park host Old Westbourne in a match that theWarriors will be hoping will bring some joy for what canonly be described as a disappointing season .Westbourne will be strengthened by their senior sidemissing out, and will be looking to build on its recentwin against the Falcons.Albert Park did win their earlier match in the yearhowever, and given the strength and form of theFalcons, they will be a tough team to beat .Ultimately though, I cannot see the strengthened twosteam from the Warriors being threatened, and when youconsider the speed and determination of the likes ofSlattery, Riverland and Mesman, it is the Warriors formine in a 29 point win .PRESS CORRESPONDENTSPlease keep those team of the years coming in as well asweekly match reports for both seniors AND reserves .

s
second win of the year.Uni's, Clarke and Torney, had their own sharp shootingmatch last week, and De La's Skinnsy, Roaster, Junboand Jarvo will have to be at their best to contain them
today . The Blues want a hard hitout before the finals,and that's what they'll get, however they should have alittle too much strength across their home paddock .
Well served by Purs and Serafmi, Xav's are "Back InTown," ending their four game losing streak in emphaticfashion, against the Scotchies . They tune up for next
week with a clash against the Fields . who would enjoy
taking a little wind from their sails . Having regained
that winning feeling, Xav s won't succumb .Marcellin have had a miserable fortnight against the topsides and travel to third placed Scotch, on the rebound!The hosts had a game to forget against the Xavs, and ifSutherland and Swan can lead from the front, willrestore some lost confidence and ensure a cracking
First Semi Final .Barring something extraordinary, it appears Skevs andthe Tonners can prepare for Mad Monday . Skevvies will
kick themselves after a strong start to the season, buttoday the 2002 runners up will have the satisfaction of
defeating the reigning champs .The local derby between the Bernies and OEG seems amismatch on paper with top meeting last, but the Donsare coming off a strong result and funny things canhappen in these games. That said, the minor premiers
will complete the perfect 18 win season .
Section 2Just when the final's schedule looked all but confirmed,Old Trinity kept their slim chances of playing final'sfootball alive, overcoming a tired Old Camberwell outfitlast round by 97 points . With a spot in the finalsguaranteed with victory last week, Old Camberwellfaltered to their lower placed rivals, Trinity now onlyfour points behind Camberwell, but still needing to pull

season . Using the game to settle combinations,will be too strong, the Amateurs looking a real L :

IFinally Hampton Rovers host Mazenod this afternuon,the Nodders nearly victorious last round after allimpressive eight-goal performance down forward by
Bourbon . Two highly skilled sides, both Hampton andMazenod have struggled with numbers this year, aresult of both senior club recruiting and injury .Hampton had the courage to take only seventeenplayers to league-leader Werribee last round, and stillmanaged a commendable score, their persistence likelyto pay off with a win this afternoon over the valiant
Mazenod .Section 3Round eighteen signals the season's conclusion formore than half the section three sides, the top fourRupertswood, Old Carey, Collegians and Therry Penola,now confirmed final's starters, this weekend providingthe last opportunity for the four clubs to settlecombinations, and finetune their preparation for weekone of the finals .Having only played two games in the past four weeks,league-leaders Rupertswood have had a less than idealrun towards September, their away fixture at AJAX thisafternoon the side's last chance to prepare for what willundoubtedly be a fiery semi-final against Old Carey.
With the minor premiership still not sewn up,Rupertswood must win today, and be ready for a fullfour-quarter effort by AJAX who kicked eleven goals toone in the final term last week, victorious by 46 pointsafter trailing at three quarter time .At long odds to snatch the minor premiership, but notwithout a chance, Old Carey must win today and rely ona Rupertswood loss, to displace the side they've played
bridesmaid to all year . There's little doubt Old Carey willwin, facing a struggling MHSOB this afternoon, but theodds are stacked against Rupertswood losing, their onlyloss this season coming on a technicality after fielding
an ineligible player .Now definite finals starters, Therry Penola host Monashthis afternoon, the home side confirming their presencein the first week of the finals with a 157 point victortlast round at the expense of St Bernards (2)• Howeve
r luTherry must be wary of complacency, they play tbottom two sides in the two final rounds, and mustriget too confident as a result of big winning margins .
Finally North Old Boys should be too strong for Bernards (2) this afternoon, while Collegians, no )
winless for several weeks, enjoy a rather inconvenienbye, as they prepare for final's football .

Vol t e unpo sWith a massive task still ahead, Old Trinity travel to OldMelburnians this afternoon, the visitors needing to winto remain in final's contention . Having enjoyed an extraweek on the track, OM's will be fresh and ready for onelast outing before week one of the finals, Trinitystanding little chance at a ground where it is nearimpossible for visiting teams to win .Even with a victory Trinity must then rely on aCamberwell loss, the fourth-placed side hostingBeaumaris this afternoon, both sides less thanimpressive in the penultimate round of the season .
Escaping from a last quarter comeback by bottom sideParadians last week, Beaumaris will be out to regainsome respect, as will Camberwell desperate to avenge
last week's dismal outing. In what will most likely be apreview of next week's semi-final, Beaumaris home in a

Colts looked like being easy winners but totheir credit Broadmeadows persevered and
were finishing full of running when the siren
went . Port Colts 2 : 4 3 27 to Broadmeadows
2: 4 1 25. The other division 2 game was
between Ovens & Murray Jets 2 and Moonee
Valley Magpies . Moonee Valley were favorites
on the day and had the bulk of play but were
unable to kick straight in the blustery
conditions and were defeated by the Jets .
Ovens & Murray Jets 2 : 4 1 25 to Moonee
Valley Magpies 1 9 15 . Maribyrnong,
Bulleen Templestowe and Ringwood did notplay on the day but all have begun planning
for next year and are keen to have another
crack at the finals in 2004 .
In first division we had Ballarat playingt3roadmeadows 1 in a game that Ballarat on
form looked like the likely winners . To quote a
past F.I .D .A. state coach "form is your onlyguide" and it was, with Ballarat just keeping
ahead of Broadmeadows and kicking away in
the last quarter. Ballarat 7 6 48 to
Broadmeadows 1 : 2 3 15. In the last game of
the day Karingal 1 : played Karingal 2 : for a
spot in the grand final . This game was won by
Karingal 1 who like Ballarat will be playing in
the Grand Final for the third year running .
Karingal 2 : never gave up were no match for
the Karingal I side on the day. Karingal 1 : 10
17 77 to Karingal 2 : 1 1 7 .
PREVIEW
Next week we have Port Colts 2 playing Ovens& Murray Jets 2 in the division 2 Grand Final
and Ballarat playing Karingal 1 in the first
division Grand Final. My final predictions for
the year are Ovens & Murray Jets look like
taking the trophy over the boarder in what
should be a very close game .
In first division they are also hard to split butI'm leaning towards Karingal 1 who have beenwaiting all year at a chance to reverse lastyears result .
We wish all finalists the best of luck on theday and also congratulate all teams on theseasons they had and look forward to seeingthem all next season .

The curtain fell on the eighteenth season of this
section within the V.A .F .A. last Sunday atSportscover Arena, where a cold north wind
made conditions difficult for football . The coldweather did not deter the fans from the sixcompeting clubs, who turned out en masse tocheer on their favourites .
Section 1 .
Old Xaverians were largely untroubled to win
their eighth successive premiership after theiropening scoring blitz into the wind . BeforePrahran were warmed to their task, the result
was apparent to most independent spectators .Old Xaverians were outscored only in the thirdquarter and then only by one goal and at three
quarter time the "Crocodiles" led by forty fivepoints. Most interest then centred on whatwould be their final score .
Old Xaverians in winning by sixty eight pointsset a number of Club XVIII records . Their scorebettered the previous highest Grand Finalscore (by Old Carey in 1986) . Their winningmargin was the fourth highest since 1986 . OldCarey, Eley Park and De La Salle are the only
clubs ahead of the "Crocodiles" in this wayafter thirty seven Grand finals have beenplayed .
Prahran contributed too, to the highestaggregate score ever recorded in these thirtyseven Grand finals .
Where to from here is the question oneveryone's lips as the Old Xaverians seem to begaining in skill and although not winning homeand away matches by as wide a margin as inprevious seasons they remained undefeatedand certainly were at their peak in the finalswhen pressure was applied. Matthew Hall(coach) and Captain, Nick Fay are worthy ofrecognition for their persistence and leadershipof this talented team .'Section 2 North .Old Essendon and Fitzroy Reds provided aclose contest for the first half of Northern grandfinal . In the third and championship quarter,Old Essendon all but sealed the game with fourgoals to one, which gave them a match winning
lead of twenty nine
points at the finalchange . Even withthe aid of the wind ,Fitzroy Reds could make no inroad int(
lessening the lead and at the final siren, Ok
Essendon had won by twenty nine points .
This win was the fifteenth in succession by OlcEssendon, whose only loss this season was t(
University Blacks in Round 1 Their Coach
Paul Barry and Captain, Brett Papal have Ie<the side well and have developed splendid teair
work, which should hold the players in goo stead in the seasons ahead.
Section 2 South.
This match proved to be the closest contest oithe day . Again Old Brighton seized the earlyinitiative and held a thirteen point lead at firstchange. Aided by the wind in the secondquarter, Mazenod grasped their opportunityand held an eighteen point lead at half time.

;vtazenod held Old Brighton out in the third(juarter so that they held a ten point lead atthree quarter time and seemed assured of~,ictory .
