THE EASTERN FOOTBALLER


WELCOME TO SEASON 2007 

The start of the Eastern Football League 2007 

season has finally arrived for players, coaches 

and fans of division one and two football. 

Last weekend division three and four 

footballers were welcomed into the 2007 

season with the strange sight of rain …. Yes 

rain! Where was that over the preceding 6 months when 

we needed it? Anyway we should not complain as it was 

much needed, and we are likely to see more again this 

weekend too.

SOUTH CROYDON RETURNS TO DIV 2 

South Croydon today reenters division two 

for the first time since 2003, and whilst 

there are still many familiar faces in the 

division, many things have changed over 

that time as well: 

• Lilydale and Ringwood have now both progressed to 

division one 

• Boronia now find themselves in division three 

• Mulgrave finished second in 2003, and North Ringwood 

were fourth. Both teams have not participated in the 

senior finals since 2003. 

• Wantirna South have progressed to division one (2005) 

and returned to division two (2006) 

• Mitcham will be in the division two this year, with South 

Croydon and Mitcham having not having met since 1993 

in division one.

JUNIOR SEASON KICKS OFF 

This Sunday sees the start of the EFL junior 

season, with over 280 teams set to take to the

certainly are healthy at the moment, with an 

extra 20 teams taking to the 

field this year in the juniors. 

The Rowville junior football club 

will definitely have their work cut out for 

them this year, fielding 21 junior sides – that 

is seven more teams than any other club in 

the competition (the next highest being 

Norwood with 14 teams)

BALWYN IN + HEIDELBERG DENIED 

= FIXTURE REVAMP 

Last October the Eastern Football League took its first steps 

towards an expanded senior competition when the applications of 

both the Balwyn and Heidelberg football clubs to join the EFL 

were approved at a special meeting of EFL clubs. Needing a 

majority vote, clubs approved both applications and supported the 

incorporation of a proposed 12 team division one competition for 

the 2007 season. 

League CEO Rob Sharpe commented after the meeting that the 

approved vote was the first stage of a move to a five division 

competition in the EFL. “The league believes there is enough 

growth in the area for an expansion to five divisions and this is one 

of the first steps in doing so,” Sharpe said. 

The EFL clubs vote did not guarantee both clubs a spot in the EFL 

for season 2007, as applications for transfer were then submitted to 

both clubs leagues, and to Football Victoria (now AFL Victoria). 

Initial submissions were denied by both leagues and Football 

Victoria, until both clubs appealed the decision, and had their 

applications heard by the board of Football Victoria. 

Following these appeals, and after the Southern Football League 

supported the move of Balwyn from their league, Football Victoria 

approved the application of the Balwyn Football Club to join the 

EFL in season 2007, but denied the application of the Heidelberg 

Football Club. 

EFL Chairman Stephen Jones commented “Balwyn is a proud 

club, with strong leadership and their move to the EFL has 

received tremendous support from the local Balwyn community. 

The EFL is confident that Balwyn is fully aware of the challenges 

it faces to compete against the best of the East in division one & 

will acquit itself very well. A positive move already has been the 

appointment of former Collingwood premiership player Mick 

McGuane as senior coach.” 

Turning to the matter of Heidelberg, Steve Jones said “the EFL is 

deeply disappointed by the failure of the Board of Football Victoria 

The Balwyn Football Club are looking forward to starting a 

new chapter of their history in the Eastern Football League this 

Saturday as they take on Lilydale in their division 

one season opener. After being given the green 

light by Football Victoria in November last year, 

Balwyn have been concentrating on being a 

competitive force in the EFL in their first season. 

The move to the EFL is significant for the club, not 

only due to their location and closeness to the EFL, 

but also for the junior development at the club. “We 

(Balwyn) have a significant junior program with 

teams from under 9 through to under 17 colts 

(premiers in 2006) who play in the Yarra junior football 

league,” Balwyn president Richard Wilson said. “We are 

establishing an under 18 team the first time in the history of this 

club with a move to the EFL. This provides continuity for the 

players and an opportunity for under age players in our region 

to recognise the merits of Heidelberg FC’s application to also join 

the EFL in 2007. 

Heidelberg has, in our view, done all that could be asked of it in 

putting to Football Victoria all of the arguments in support of this 

move. The club’s decision to apply to join the EFL has the full 

endorsement of its members, supporters, players, coaches & 

sponsors. The initiative has also been strongly supported by the 

clubs of the EFL. 

The refusal by Football Victoria to grant the wishes of a 135 year 

old club run by volunteers, is to the EFL incomprehensible. The 

decision has ignored completely the rights of a community based 

football club to determine its own destiny” Jones said. 

The introduction of Balwyn and the blocking of the Heidelberg FC 

transfer did result in the need for a bye in 2007 - with 11 teams 

penciled in for division one. EFL CEO Rob Sharpe stated “we 

spoke to a number of clubs about their interest and capacity to be 

elevated a grade. It was important that any club that moved felt 

comfortable about doing so and certainly we were not forcing a 

move. Ultimately our view of a club’s capabilities and their interest 

in moving determined who moved and which grade had a bye in 

2007.” 

After discussions in late November and early December with sides 

across all divisions, the move of the Norwood Football Club to 

accept an invitation from the league to join division one - after a 

strong showing in 2006 where they finished runners up in division 

two - triggered the movement of the bye down the divisions. 

Doncaster then accepted an invitation to stay in division two for 

2007 moving the bye to division three, and that is where it stayed. 

Heidelberg Apply Again: The Heidelberg Football Club has 

again applied to join our competition next season and as a club 

they have shown tremendous strength of character to stand up and 

insist that things weren't well in the Diamond Valley. Their 

application will be put the vote of EFL clubs on May 21. 

WELCOME TO BALWYN 

to continue on at senior level. An important component of this 

progression for players is the geographical area for ease of 

transport to local grounds and we believe this is 

what we have in the EFL.” 

Wilson also believes increased community 

support for their club will be a real positive from 

a move to the east this year. “The interest from our 

local community including the council and 

council ward members, business, other football 

clubs in the district and local press has been 

substantial,” Wilson said. “The opportunity for the 

Balwyn FC as the only EFL team in Boroondara 

provides our club with a unique chance to promote community 

welfare, sport at a very high level, and ground improvements to 

support local footy. These initiatives will encourage crowds to 

watch local football and is an extremely exciting prospect for 

Balwyn.”

A proud sponsor of the 

Blackburn Football Club 

in Season 2007


The Eastern Football League division one will take on a new 

look in season 2007, with the announcement that the division 

will feature 12 teams for the first time in the 

leagues history. Joining the obvious additions of 

Balwyn (transferring across from the Southern 

Football League) and Scoresby (division two 

premiers 2006), the Norwood Football Club has 

accepted an invitation from the league to join 

division one after a strong showing in 2006 where 

they finished runners up in division two. 

The Norwood Football Club has worked hard to 

develop its playing list in recent years, having 

progressed from division four after premiership 

success in 1999, up to division two from 2004 

onwards (after winning the division three 

premiership in 2003) and played in the grand 

final in only their third season in division two. 

The club has a strong junior program and is well 

placed organisationally and financially to take up 

the challenge of making their first entry to the 

EFL’s premier division – which made the club a 

prime candidate for an invitation from the league 

to join division one. 

Norwood president Mark Etherington believes 

the clubs decision to play in division one will be a challenge, 

but they are ready to change their goals and refocus for this 

season and a new division. “All of a sudden you reset your 

goals, and whilst premiership glory is what every club strives 

for, ultimately depth and development of your football club 

and players is paramount. 

Willing to put your reputation on the line and predict who 

the winners will be across the EFL divisions in the 

SENIORS IN 2007? 

Well now is your chance! 

The EFL is please to announce the return of its online 

tipping competition for season 2007. We are also pleased 

to announce the support of LANIER as our naming rights

We refocus now on a division one mentality, and that will 

surpass what we did last year.” Etherington said. 

“You look at the strength of our juniors, and this 

was one of the main items that we looked at, our 

under 15 and 16 teams were in A division, and this 

now gives them a pathway to develop as 

footballers. If we can do the right thing by them, 

and hold a division one position over coming 

years, then we will end up with a flow through of 

division one footballers. 

Norwood football club is always up for a 

challenge and the opportunity to better ourselves, 

and those objectives create an environment where 

success is a by product,” Etherington said. 

With a new look 12 team division one this year, 

changes have been made to fixturing and the 

finals. The division one fixture structure will be a 

12 team competition played over 18 weeks. All 

teams will play seven teams twice and four teams 

once in a structured draw based on 2006 results. 

League CEO Rob Sharpe believes it will make for 

a more even competition. “Certainly we are 

looking forward to a more competitive division 

one. A seeded draw will create greater interest and 

there will be an expanded finals series at the end of the 

season, giving more clubs the chance at premiership glory” 

Sharpe said. 

“The draw is definitely innovative and should result in a very 

exciting 2007.”

CHAIRMANS REPORT 

Welcome to Season 2007 

On behalf of the board of the Eastern Football 

League I welcome you all to the 2007 Season 

Launch. It certainly has been a pre-season with 

a difference and no doubt everyone is hanging 

out for the season to start. We are very much in 

an era of growth at the moment and there is a 

real buzz around this year with plenty of new 

things happening. 

However 2007 is also presenting some new 

challenges for us all to deal with. Already 

coaches have had to call on their 

resourcefulness to get the most out of preseason. 

As an example, one of my boys will be 

playing under 14s this year. His coach arranged for the team 

to train at the local high school on Sunday mornings. They 

had half the oval and a dog training school had the other half. 

Things went really well for the first couple of weeks and then 

the coach decided to use his whistle for one of his drills..... 

Continued Growth 

In terms of the game itself, it continues to go from strength to 

strength in our league. This year there will be 24 more teams 

than last year - 575 more players. In our junior competition 

alone, there has been an 8% increase. We have broken new 

ground with over 400 teams for the first time - 413 in fact - 

and that has increased from 198 teams in 1997. 

More than double in 10 years and there is no sign of that 

growth slowing down with our junior clubs underpinned by 

4,500 Auskick participants. 2007 will see over 10,000 players 

take the field each week in more than 200 games. 

Difficult Start to the Season 

While the standard of football played just continues to get 

better and better over all our grades, I think we all realise that 

the drought is going to have an impact and we could be in for 

a difficult winter. Many of our grounds are not in their usual 

pristine condition and conditions are going to be largely 

determined by the weather. 

For anyone who played in my era, it is unbelievable to think 

that Scoresby is probably the ground in the best condition? 

But the grounds with couch grasses have certainly coped 

better. The real positive is that people are now talking about 

options to manage the effect of the weather on our grounds 

and it is likely that we will see improvements over the 

coming years. 

We are grateful to the councils that have worked with us right 

throughout the summer and they have been very supportive 

of our aim to play all games and start the season on time. 

It can certainly be frustrating not being able to train or have

FROM THE CHAIRMANS DESK 

The following is the speech EFL board chairman Stephen Jones made at this years season launch. 

CHAIRMAN 

Stephen Jones 

practice matches but we all need to support the 

council efforts to have our grounds in as good 

a condition as possible for the season - and 

years to come. Clubs can make a difference by 

considering how you use and manage your 

ground. 

Our Environment 

Another area impacting on us at the moment is 

the changes in the community football 

landscape around us. One of those has been a 

major change to our representative body that 

has moved from being Football Victoria to 

AFL Victoria. The change makes very good 

sense from a branding perspective as long as they do not lose 

sight of the fact that one of their roles is to represent our 

interests in their dealings with the AFL. 

They also have had a change in administration with Ken 

Gannon vacating the role of CEO after a long period at the 

helm. We now welcome the new CEO of AFL Victoria, Peter 

Schwab to the role, who we look forward to working with in 

the coming years. 

Other changes happening around us are the major 

restructures in two long standing major leagues that overlap 

with us (SFL and DVFL). In both cases this is being driven 

by AFL Victoria and if they get it right the process will be a 

positive for community football. 

With problems occurring around us, it is pleasing that we 

have continued to grow and prosper and that our brand seems 

to be stronger than ever. We do have the advantage of 

economies of scale and have met with the SFL officials with 

a view to helping with some resources and pursuing some 

mutually beneficial opportunities. We have also been helping 

where we can with DVFL who have been implementing a 

number of procedures similar to ours. 

Operationally 

In terms of our operations, this is the first full year that Rob 

Sharpe has been at the helm as CEO and the change has been 

refreshing. He approaches problems from a different 

perspective and is constantly looking for better ways to do 

things. This was shown in the proactive approach taken over 

summer where the league arranged meetings with all nine 

councils we deal with so that all stakeholders could work 

together on the issue of grounds. 

We have also welcomed Phil Murton to the role of General 

Manager of Football Operations, Phil brings a wealth of 

football knowledge to the role. With an emphasis on looking 

at ways of improving the game, part of Phil’s role will be to 

develop and implement programs aimed at helping everyone


involved in our game be better at what they do (from players, 

umpires and administrators to parents and spectators). 

Growth is still a major plank of our plans. With more playing 

the game at the younger age groups and the strength of our 

brand improving retention rates, the growth in junior numbers 

is starting to flow into senior ranks. There is no doubt that 

there will be an increase in teams competing in our senior 

competitions. These are likely to be a combination of newly 

formed clubs, existing clubs joining us and maybe extra teams 

run by our existing clubs. 

We currently have 41 Senior clubs and only 16 of them were 

there when the league was formed in 1961. All the indications 

are that we will grow to five divisions and maybe beyond. We 

need to keep growing unless we want to turn our kids away 

from our game. 

Keep in mind it is the strength of our junior competition that 

holds the key to the future of all our clubs. 

Unfortunately, there will be some disruptions with byes, and 

uneven draws as we go through but these have always been 

part of our league as new clubs have joined in the past. We 

have a strong wealth of club experience in our administration 

and they will be working hard to minimise the impact of the 

growing pains. 

Heidelberg Football Club have again applied to join our 

competition next season and as a club they have shown 

tremendous strength of character to stand up and insist that 

things weren't well in the Diamond Valley. 

Finance & Viability 

In terms of financial viability, 2007 is going to be tough for 

all. Most clubs have already missed practice match revenue 

and had the draw changed. However, there is some good news 

for clubs with senior insurance premiums coming down by 

around $800 per senior club. 

We have been planning for changes to our insurance 

arrangements for some time now but in the end the approach 

taken by the AFL was very disappointing. They effectively 

gave us an ultimatum that required us to take all our insurance 

with them and were not prepared to entertain our concerns. 

The result would have cost us our principal sponsor and a big 

chunk off our budget. 

We were fortunate that we have had such a great relationship 

with BJS Insurance over a long period of time and they 

worked very hard to secure a great liability insurance deal for 

us. The result is reduced premiums to clubs while maintaining 

our Principal Sponsor. Dollar wise were are a lot better off 

than if we had gone into the AFL scheme and for the first time 

in a number of years we have some clearer direction in our 

long term financial planning. 

A real change is apparent in our sponsorships. A few years 

ago we started to really promote our brand and the league as 

somewhere that mates matter and there are more businesses 

out there who are keen to associate themselves with us. 

CHAIRMANS REPORT 

We have also been able to access some government funding 

this year with the introduction of trainee programs. 18 of our 

promising players and umpires are currently undertaking 

Certificate 111 in Sport and Recreation and they will be 

taking that knowledge back to their respective clubs. 

There are also changes in our media and internet. We have 

developed the new online Eastore selling a number of 

performance enhancing items – all fully legal of course things 

like shoes, GPS units and compression clothing. Cougar 

Media Awards have also been introduced. We are moving 

down the track of pod casts and video streaming and as a 

result we are no longer broadcasting on Channel 31 as we 

seek a more effective media stream. 

The Brand 

Late last year Andrew Demitriou wrote to us and advised “ 

We regard the Eastern Football League as an excellent 

model for community football and it would be appreciated if 

you could pass on our congratulations to your board, staff 

and clubs.” Recently we won the Football Victoria’s award 

for the best league initiative with the Ladies of the East 

Program. 

It is this sort of reputation that represents our brand at the 

top end of town. But from a club perspective our brand and 

reputation is important in getting people involved – whether 

they be players, administrators, umpires or supporters. 

As well as our work in improving the game, standards and 

behavioural matters are vital to our brand and we all need to 

contribute to maintaining and improving those standards. 

More and more of our clubs are using the resources 

available such as the AFL Quality Clubs Program and the 

Good Sports Program. 

This year all clubs will have Racial and Religious Tolerance 

Officers and we will be working harder to manage 

compliance with the Coaches Code of Conduct. We won't 

compromise on doing what is best for the participants in the 

game because that is what our brand is all about. 

The Constant: Our Clubs 

The quality of the people running our clubs and their ability 

to adapt to change remains a constant strength of our league. 

It is a powerful volunteer network that clubs manage. 

There has certainly been an increase in professionalism at 

our clubs with responsible management building their long 

term viability. Clubs continue to work hard to adapt to the 

changing values of the broader community and are 

constantly improving the culture of their clubs. 

The AFL will lay some claim to their contribution to grass 

roots football, but in reality its impact at this level remains 

insignificant compared to that of local clubs to whom the 

game of Australian Rules truly belongs. 

At the EFL “Where Mates Matter”.

BELLISSIMO TO SPEARHEAD 

“TRIBAL REVIVAL” IN 2007 

It’s probably fair to say that season 2006 won’t go down in 

the annals of history at the Mitcham Football Club as a 

particularly successful season. They tasted 

victory on just three occasions, leading to 

relegation out of Division One for the first time 

since the conception of the-then Eastern Districts 

Football League back in 1962. But with the 

appointment of former Nunawading premiership 

coach Daniel Bellissimo to the senior coaching 

position for season 2007, the Tigers are hoping 

to make their stay in Division Two a short one, as SHAUN 

KELLY reports. 

Bellissimo was somewhat of a surprise appointment to the 

coaching position, having led Nunawading to a Division 

Four premiership in 2002 and, more recently, to their first 

Division Three finals series in season 2006. His 

professionalism and enthusiasm for football piqued the 

interest of Mitcham president Wayne Lowe and his 

committee, who accepted Bellissimo’s application after 

their advertised closing date for applications had passed. 

“Daniel actually rang us when we had closed off 

[applications] and asked whether he could still put in for it 

and we said yes”, Lowe commented. “At that stage we 

hadn’t appointed anyone. We interviewed him three days 

later, and that interview went for two hours. From the time 

that he started speaking we could see that this guy knew a 

lot about football, and we were very impressed with his 

professionalism, and the way he has everything laid out. 

He knew exactly what he was going to do, and showed us 

exactly what was going to happen. We interviewed some 

coaches who turned up with nothing and gave us by voice 

what they were going to do, whereas Daniel had 

everything documented from pre-season all the way 

through which really impressed us”. 

A passionate coach, who is just as good with the marketing 

side of a football club as he is with a magnetic board, 

Bellissimo is relishing the challenge of coaching at 

Division Two level for the first time. “I guess [the 

attraction] was the opportunity to coach at a higher level 

where there’s fantastic resources, brilliant facilities and a 

club that obviously has plenty of tradition within the 

Eastern Football League” stated Bellissimo recently. “It’s 

a big challenge, and I guess they’re probably the key areas 

about why I made the move to Mitcham”. 

Bellissimo started planning for season 2007 right after his 

appointment late last year, with a preliminary assessment 

of the Tigers’ 2006 playing stocks. 

Bellissimo also surrounded himself with some familiar 

faces in his new coaching post. He has brought with him 

from Nunawading long-time confidant David Zappulla as 

Assistant Coach, and Nunawading Life Members Paul 

Dennis and Steve Boyce as Chairman of Selectors and 

Player Development Manager respectively, a move that 

Bellissimo feels will be positive for both his staff and the 

Mitcham Football Club. “It’s about good people 

who can contribute to the culture of this football 

club, and that’s important. They’re excited by 

the challenge, it’s a great stepping stone for them 

in terms of their coaching progression forward, 

and it’s going to be great for this football club to 

get people of their calibre and stature to the 

place.” Bellissimo also recruited Craig Abbott 

over to Walker Park as Head Fitness Advisor after filling a 

similar position at the Box Hill Hawks in season 2006, and 

Matthew Hibbert as Strength and Conditioning Coach in 

his quest to leave no stone unturned in returning on-field 

success to Mitcham. 

At Mitcham’s Meet the Coach night late last year, 

Bellissimo’s presentation was met with universal approval 

by the Mitcham faithful. In launching the “Tribal Revival” 

as his motto for season 2007, Bellissimo acknowledged that 

by coming on board, he has inherited the history of the 

Mitcham Football Club, and called upon the Mitcham 

faithful to assist him in turning the club’s on-field fortunes 

around. “I guess that the committee in its entirety and the 

football department in its entirety have understood and 

realised that things weren’t as good as we would have liked 

last year, but it’s a matter of taking some responsibility as a 

group, as a member, a supporter, a player, a general 

committee member or whatever, to take some responsibility 

and say that we need to make sure that we get this football 

club back to where it belongs from an on-field point of view” 

If their Meet the Coach night was anything to go by, then 

2007 will be a completely different year for the Mitcham 

Football Club. Over 100 people, including a large 

proportion of the current playing group, witnessed a 

professional and inspirational presentation from their new 

leader, and president Lowe introduced a vastly expanded 

committee for the new season, and made mention of the 

positivity that has seemingly started to flow back into Walker 

Park. “[Last season] we were down on-field as well as offfield. 

We had a bad year in both sides, and already we’ve 

turned that around. The committee’s made up of about 

fifteen people now whereas last season we ran on a 

shoestring of about four, so that on its own has been fantastic. 

Obviously Daniel is going to inject his enthusiasm into the 

playing group, and you can tell by the amount of people that 

were here there (at the meet the coach night) that this place 

is ready to go forward”. 

2006 is now in the past for the Mitcham Football Club. With 

Bellissimo and Lowe leading the way on and off the field 

respectively, you can sense the passion creeping back into 

Walker Park, as the Tigers awake from a winter of 

hibernation, ready to roar again.

CLUB NOTES 

BALWYN 

At the end of last season the Prez bought a new Melways and a pair 

of Bata Scouts. Upon scanning Map 46 and checking the compass in 

his heel, he discovered that Balwyn was no longer in the south. 

Reasons are unclear but it’s suspected that this major geological shift 

occurred as a result of Global warming or the Tsunami. Anyway 

Richard got the collective brains trust of the Club together at the Harp 

Hotel in Kew and after a few beers the message was loud and clear: 

Go East young man! So here we are six months later lining up at 

Balwyn Park in Division 1 EFL, looking forward to renewing 

acquaintances with some old friends and hopefully some new ones 

along the way. Well done to Richard Wilson, Paul Johnson, Harve 

and the gang who worked tirelessly to get us into the EFL, and for 

their smart recruiting which will ensure we are here to stay. Welcome 

to our old and new players and supporters, and to Mick McGuane’s 

coaching panel including Mark Donovan, Sharkes and Robert Johns 

Under 18 crew. The new challenge inspired most of our 2006 Tigers 

back on the track again, with two premiership skippers Digger and 

Kieran O’Dwyer shelving retirement plans. Together with our 

recruits to add some class and depth, the EFL Balwyn Tigers are 

looking forward to a big season. Importantly we thank our sponsors 

including Sofia Restaurant- Camberwell, Benalli, Allbanx, Colby 

Southern, Noel Jones Real Estate and the Harp Hotel. Thanks also to 

Cr Dick Menting and Boroondara Council as we work together in 

coming years to upgrade our ground and pavilion to provide better 

facilities for our visiting teams, players, umpires and supporters. So 

today it’s the Near East v the Far East as Balwyn Tigers do battle with 

Lilydale. We look forward to welcoming our new friends and rivals 

from all Clubs down to Balwyn Park. Just turn left at Maroondah 

Highway and follow the tram tracks to the Picture Theatre. BYO 

jaffas. GO TIGERS. 

BLACKBURN 

We welcome all our supporters to the 2007 season, and thank you for 

your support in the past, and look forward to your continued support. 

We welcome all Burnsmen to the first lunch of the year, and to our 

visitors from Vermont. We have two new Life Members - Ian 

McCarty and Dave Johns. Their long record of service to the club has 

been recognised. Kevin Desmond’s outstanding off-field efforts last 

year were recognised with the award of Best Clubman. The Best and 

Fairest winner in the seniors was Tosh Elder, from Chris Logan and 

Chris Wilson, with the Coach’s award going to Scott McCumber, the 

Most Courageous player Ben Kneebone and the Transition award to 

Matt Tuminello. The Reserves award went to Brad Frost ahead of 

Lachlan Ezard and Neil Jackson. The Most Consistent award went to 

Michael Shea, Most Courageous Leon Desmond and Most 

determined to Tom Allen. Lance Blythe won the Colts award from 

Aaron Hatton and Sean Hanrahan. The Most Consistent award went 

to Thomas Yore and the Most Improved to Brenton Cincotta. Our 

three coaches, Jeremy Campbell, Tony Cincotta and Dave Johns have 

been reappointed for 2007, and look forward to building on our 2006 

season. The Burners welcome new members- see Mark Paterson 

0417 073 102 for details. Don’t miss the player auction tonight from 

7.00pm. There are sure to be some great bargains- test your judgment 

at the start of the season! Sadly, Rob McLellan, captain of our Team 

of the Century, passed away recently. We also miss Dwane Van 

Geyzel who passed away suddenly late last year. Dwane was a great 

contributor to the club on and off the field. He also played junior 

football at Vermont, and both clubs will observe a minute silence 

before today’s game, Dwane’s parents are guests at today’s luncheon. 

CROYDON 

It is with pleasure that I can announce that Greg Freemantle has been 

appointed Senior Coach for 2007 and 2008. His reputation and record 

in the E.F.L. is second to none, and I am sure his experience is going 

to take us back up the ladder. Steve Varley has come back on board 

as reserves coach and Rowan Frost will take charge of the colts and 

I wish them all the very best for the season. Over the summer we 

have secured a large No. of new players and we are hoping to get a 

few more signatures before the start of the season. Finally it is very 

important that every supporter becomes a member, and please try and 

talk your friends into becoming members as well. With the 

competition becoming stronger every new membership is going to be 

important for the clubs success. So join up and come along to what 

promises to be a very enjoyable seasons.

DONVALE 

What an interesting year ahead of us in First Division.

first time knowing they will be keen to get off to a good start. We 

have had a number of departures (mainly overseas) from last years 

list, but have picked up a few key recruits. A full Saturday program

Also on that day the East Ringwood and East Burwood Committees 

will be coming together with Tim Hanna of Tobin Bros funerals for a 

light luncheon to celebrate the Tobin Bros’ shield. This is a regular 

feature of the two Clubs. At jumper presentation last week our new 

number one members, Margaret and Laurie Brunell were recognized 

for their service to the Club over the past years. The Under eighteen 

best and fairest award will now be known as the Barry Wenker 

trophy. Barry has worked diligently for the Club being a prime mover 

in establishing our first Colts team and continues to be an example to 

the rest of us around the Club. We look forward to starting the season 

against our rivals Noble Park and wish all teams and supporters the 

very best for the coming season. “GO RAMS”

LILYDALE 

With only 3 more days left in April it is great to finally kick off our 

season. Over the summer there have been plenty of issues to keep us 

busy – the introduction of our opponent today (Balwyn FC) into the 

EFL; the resultant restructure of the EFL first division; the growing 

concerns about the drought; the delayed start to the season; and over 

the last month the scramble to find training and practice venues. 

Today that is all behind us, as we focus on season 2007. We look 

forward with determination to continue our drive to become one of 

the premier teams in division one. Our final’s appearance last year 

has given us a taste of September football, but also a reality check on 

our need for sustained effort and continuous improvement. Our 

playing list at the start of the season looks good, a strong combination 

of new and old. Our 3 VFL listed players from 2006 have all joined 

us for the season – Andrew Walsh, Todd Burley and Brad Condor add 

some height and strength. This year we have another couple of VFL 

listed players, who represent our investment in the future. There are 

also a few new faces from our local area, notably Gerard Healy and 

Vaughan Wheeler, who should challenge for senior selection. From 

within we welcome back, after interrupted 2006 seasons, some 

familiar faces in Toosa, Scuba, DV and Seds. Hopefully they can 

regularly contribute their strength and experience. Finally we have a 

number of the 2006 Colts making the transition to senior football, 

adding some enthusiasm and young legs to our squad. Our Social 

Committee have also been busy and have a full board of fun events


planned for the season. Watch this space, our web site and notice 

boards around the Club for details of the next event. Our big raffle 

is back again, so look out for Browny and Breeser who will be happy 

to sell you the winning ticket. Tonight head back to our Club for a 

drink and presentations – from 6:30 pm. Go Dales in 2007 !! 

NOBLE PARK 

Today is "Sponsors Day" and the NPFC would like to welcome all 

our new and existing sponsors to the game and thank you for your 

support. We encourage all our members to use our sponsors who 

support us in many ways. Also we welcome our supporters, players, 

families and officials. New: Committee members-Eric Caughey 

(Treasurer), Helen Hughes (Fundraising) & Annett Clausen 

(Sponsorship & Marketing). Coaches- Kris Barlow (playing assistant 

Seniors), Peter Sherer (Reserves), John Clausen (Colts) Chairman of 

Selectors, Mick O’Neil. We hope you enjoy your stay with the Bulls 

in the forthcoming season. Congratulations and best wishes 

especially to all players who are playing there first game for the Bulls 

today. A few social events are happening at the Club, commencing 

tonight with the player Auction Night. Come along to buy your 

favorite player and support the Club. On the 19th of May the NPFC 

is holding our Blue & Gold Bullion draw; tickets are available from 

Helen Hughes or any football club committee members. We 

encourage all supporters to become more than a barracker in 2007 

and buy a membership today and support us in attending our 

functions through out the year. Please see Annett or Tracey for a 

Membership form. Ladies, you are welcome inside the Social Club 

during or after the game. Come inside after every home game for 

some refreshments and socialize with others. This is open for 

everyone, but part of this is devoted to letting the women associated 

with the club get to know each other. The idea is to generate a more 

tight knit feeling at the club where everyone feels welcome and 

familiar with each other. Spread the word to your friends, mothers 

and sisters. You will notice all our sides are wearing black arm bands 

today. Late last year we sadly lost Laurie Anson, then earlier this year 

Mark Edmonds and Peter Ross. Today’s game is a special day of 

Remembrance and our sympathy goes out to their families for their 

loss. We acknowledge the support the East Burwood Football Club 

has provided for the Blue Ribbon Foundation over the last two years 

with their Blue Ribbon Shield matches played against us. Today we 

also would like to show our support for the families of police killed 

in the line of duty, with a coin donation at the gate and around the 

ground, please dig deep for today’s Blue Ribbon Foundation 

fundraiser. Two medals have been struck and will be presented to the 

best player on the field from each senior side today. We welcome all 

East Burwood players, officials and supporters to the Bull Ring to 

kick off the season, and invite you all inside the Social Club during 

or after the game to enjoy the facilities. For all the latest news check 

the website www.nobleparkfsc.com.au to find what is happening 

around the Social, football and affiliated clubs. Go BULLS!!!!! 

NORWOOD 

This week’s match against Donvale has been keenly anticipated and 

the club as a whole looks forward to the challenge of taking our place 

in the EFL’s premier competition in 2007, our first opportunity to 

take our place in division one in our history. The preseason has been 

difficult because of the drought and not having our usual ground to 

train on, but we now have had productive practice matches against 

Maffra, Healesville and Northcote Park in recent weeks so that we 

would be ready to take on the challenge awaiting us. On the coaching 

side the club was happy to appoint Mark Attard as senior coach when 

Brett Ratten decided to take on a role back at Carlton, Mark will be 

part of an excellent coaching team with Brian Chamberlin returning 

as the Reserve coach, as well as Graeme Cuff guiding the Colts again 

for the season. We also welcome Wayne, Darren, Stuart, Ian W, Jon, 

Ian S, Andy, Ross and Gavin as the team that will prepare the teams 

to take the field each week. Lastly we cannot forget the work all 

ready done by our excellent medical / training staff they have been 

very busy, so thanks to Bernie, Jess, Kerrie, Claire and Lucy. The 

social calendar includes the 5th of May - Past Players Day, Sponsors 

Luncheon on the 12th of May and also the Norwood Ball on the 2nd 

of June, more next week so GO WOODIES. 

CLUB NOTES 

RINGWOOD 

After what seems a long pre season with disrupted preparations due 

to a lack of ground availabilities and other disruptions, it’s great to 

have the start of the season upon us. We welcome back to the 

coaching helm Steve Parsons as senior coach after a 1 year 'holiday' 

from coaching, and wish him, along with our reserves coach Brett 

Rowe and their assistants, all the best for the season ahead. Our 

U/18's have put in a solid pre-season and we look forward to seeing 

them develop individually as players and together as a team. Good 

luck to first time coach Sean Roach and his assistant Troy Harris. 

Both Sean and Troy are senior players recovering from knee 

reconstructions, and the club appreciate their time and effort in 

helping out the 18's. We welcome all new players and their families 

to the club and along with all our existing players, members, sponsors 

and supporters we hope you all have an enjoyable and rewarding 

year, and we look forward to your ongoing support and commitment. 

Tonight, everyone is welcome back to the clubrooms from 7.00 to 

help kick off the social side of things for the year. Drinks will be 

available at bar prices ( Happy Hour 7.00 - 8.00 ) and food and music 

will be provided. Our ladies luncheon day will be held at our first 

home match on Saturday 12th May in the clubrooms, and further 

details will be provided when finalised. Please note this date down in 

the diary and start organising your table for this annual event, which 

is always one of the highlights of the year. 

SCORESBY 

We welcome all the Club’s new players, officials, sponsors and 

supporters to the Scoresby Family and season 2007. Their arrival 

continues to prove that Scoresby Football Club is the club ‘where 

people want to be’! Despite all the problems of a varied summer 

program because of the water restrictions, we have had sensational 

training numbers on the track with a number of new players both in 

the Colts and Senior ranks. The Club’s youth policy of recent years 

is now starting to pay dividends, with a large number of young men 

now readily aware of what is required to achieve success. This 

injection of exciting youth is complemented by the stability and 

proven leadership team of Kristian Bardsley, Glenn Stallworthy and 

Sean Kavanagh, our three senior coaches. This is all backed by a 

continuing stream of successful off field functions, such as the recent 

Parliament House Dinner again strongly supported by the Club’s 

Number 1 Ticket Holder, Kim Wells; the Club’s outstanding Golf 

Day in March superbly led by Michael Vanin; and the recent signing 

of the Club’s major sponsor, Lamver Engineering. You too can be a 

part of the team and show you’re a true supporter of the Club by 

becoming a member or purchasing any of our exciting range of 

merchandise. See any of the Club’s Committee members for further 

information on what you can do to become part of the ‘Black and 

White’ army. On the social front, we have the President’s Lunch on 

12 May and the Annual Karaoke Night on 19 May. Don’t miss out 

on any of the Club’s functions by making sure the Club’s website, 

www.scoresbyfc.org.au, is on the top of your Favourites list. Finally, 

Division 1 beware because WE’RE BACK ! 

VERMONT 

Well we finally made it to opening day, and after all the problems of 

no rain, there will be a big chance that’s what we will get today. 

Welcome to our new Thirds Coach Greg Macdonald and we wish 

him, David Banfield and Tom Humphrey the best of luck for what 

will be a very testing year. To the many new players to our Senior 

ranks, we trust you also are able to do your best in 2007. We also say 

thanks to the many Sponsors, Particularly our Principal Sponsor in 

Etheridge Ford, who continue to support us. We also welcome Phillip 

Webb Real Estate and Elite Appliances to our major sponsor Group. 

Next week we will play our first game at home and start to enjoy the 

benefits of our new Social rooms. There is a Luncheon to mark the 

occasion of the unfurling of two Premiership flags and it will be 

necessary to book with David Dressing 0417007737 or Don Parsons 

on 0428338906. Cost will be $25 per head. On Sat night we will have 

our Annual Players auction, kicking off at 7pm involving all Colts 

and Senior players. The Opening Function for the New Social Rooms 

will be on Sat 12th May after the Scoresby game. This will be an 

evening to remember and will feature one Australia’s funniest 

comedian/impersonators in Andrew Startin. Cost just $25. There will 

be limit on numbers. Book with Don Parsons.

BAYSWATER 

Welcome to all our sponsors, members, supporters and 

new players to what we hope will be an entertaining and 

successful 2007 season. We, as a committee, have been 

hard at work over the summer to attract new sponsors 

and players to the Club and are delighted to have The 

Knox Club back on board along with a new major 

sponsors in The Coffee Club, Knox Ozone, Mannway 

Transport and Outdoor Timber. We have attracted some 

exciting new talent to cover last seasons departures and 

know that these guys will assist in bringing home the 

results we require in the weeks to come. The numbers on 

the track since November have been encouraging, 

especially in the Colts group whom we expect to show 

great things this season. At home to Mitcham today will 

be a huge challenge as the Tigers will be out to prove 

they deserve to go back up to Division One after their 

only stint ever in a lower grade. The H2O Supporters 

Group is actively seeking new members and general 

membership is always available for a very reasonable 

cost. We kick off with a President's lunch and hope that 

all past and present supporters get here to cheer the boys 

on. Go Waters. 

DONCASTER 

As luck has it we find ourselves remaining in Second 

Division – God bless the fact only Balwyn entered the 

comp this year. Good luck to Rod Mitchell and team and 

Anthony Goodwin and team (in particular your buffed 

Runner). Today we welcome Nth Ringwood who have 

swapped home games – apparently there is a drought 

on!! The least the Saints could do is to get Coops and the 

boys to bring their BBQ, perhaps throw some Flake on 

the BBQ and in vent the Sharks Quambie Burger. Good 

luck to all for the coming season. Bronze Whalers starts 

today - $40 for $2.50 cans at all home games. Pittsy’s 

punt is available at all home games also - $10 a go, pick 

5 horses in 5 nominated races, points – 3, 2, 1 for first, 

second and third, most points gets half the pool. Hang 

around tonight for whatever. 

KNOX 

Well season 2007 is almost upon us finally, lots of issues 

to contend with over the preseason with ground 

availability and weather but in the end we have been able 

to manage well. Numbers at training have been excellent 

and let’s hope we can provide many wins for us this 

season and be successful. Congratulations to the reappointed 

coaches for this season Seniors - Stuart Wynd 

Reserves - Rod Marget Colts - Pierre Schumann. We 

welcome all new players to the club, and wish you all the 

luck in 2007 season. We would like to also welcome our 

current and new sponsors to season 2007, without you 

football clubs struggle to exist, we are pleased and 

CLUB NOTES 

appreciate to have you on board for season 2007 and 

beyond. We are pleased to announce our number one 

ticket holder for season 2007 is Jack Crosbie. If you 

wish become a member of the Falconians, then please 

make sure you see either Wayne Whitten, Rod Marget or 

Ray Wright. For all upcoming social events for the 

season make sure you log on top our website for all 

details. Let's bring on the season we cannot wait. 

MITCHAM 

After a very disappointing year in season 2006, Mitcham 

have already taken significant steps to turn it around this 

year. A new look committee and a complete new football 

department have worked hard in the off season to 

implement a new attitude, both on and off the field. The 

club wishes to welcome all new players and their 

families to the club in what will be one of the most 

important and exciting years in our clubs rich history. 

The Tigers have shown promising form in their pre 

season practice matches and hope to continue this form 

well into season 07’. A reminder to all players and 

supporters that the “Buy A Brick” program is now up 

and running. Along with several new membership 

categories and player sponsorship, it is a great way to 

show your support for the club. For further details on 

these programs contact Peter Dungan on 0413 038 966. 

Don’t forget that our first major function of the year will 

be the “Captain Spalding” band night on Saturday 12th 

May. Tickets are available at the club or by contacting 

Wayne Lowe on 0418 549 115. We encourage all 

members and supporters old and new to come down and 

be part of a fantastic event. As always we thank our 

sponsors for supporting the club once again this year. We 

also welcome the many new sponsors that have offered 

their support for season 07 and the future. We ask 

everyone to show your support for the team this year and 

be part of Mitcham’s Tribal Revival, Refocused, 

Rebuilding & Reunited! 

MONTROSE 

Well, doesn't the 8 months go quick? It is hard to believe 

we are back into footy already, and this week looking 

forward to taking on South Croydon at their ground. We 

would like to welcome both Darren Roth, our new 

Reserves coach and Jason Galante, our Under 18's coach 

to the Senior club and wish them all the best for a 

successful and enjoyable season. On a social note, 

thanks to everyone involved in the Club's Season launch 

held last Wednesday and a reminder to everyone that the 

mid year ball will be held on the 2nd June so pencil that 

in your diaries!! Good luck to all players for today's 

games and here's hoping I am back next week reporting 

three wins! 



CLUB NOTES 26 


MULGRAVE 

We would like to welcome everyone to the much 

awaited start to Season 2007. We have had many 

changes at Mulgrave this year, with three new coaches 

and many new players. We start our season with one of 

our local derby's against Rowville, which is usually a 

hard fought game. Tonight: Back at the club after the 

game, Frankie "The Vibe" will be playing, as it is Bring 

A Girl Night to Mulgrave. Starts at 7.30 $10.00 for the 

guys, girls free. 


Welcome all Saints to season 2007. Good luck to Mark, 

Pete and Locky and the 2007 Colts and we welcome all 

the boys from the Junior club who begin their senior 

football this week. Welcome back and Good Luck to 

Brian and Keasty who will look after the reserves. We 

welcome our recruits for 2007 Jordan, Marcus, Wallsy, 

Glenn, Jason, Brock, Alex and Jordan R and wish our 

senior coaching panel Zac, Wilko and Torpa a 

successful season. Memberships are now available 

please see Neil Cooper or Mark Jonas. GO SAINTS 

ROWVIILE 

The Rowville Football Club welcomes everyone to 

Season 2007 albeit a week late and at a home game. The 

drought has not stopped the Club preparing for another 

shot at First Division with very good recruits, quality 

youngsters coming through and the retention of those 

skilled players loyal to the Club. The Club has also 

picked up two new Colts Coaches, assistants to the 

Senior Coach and a few pretty capable Committee 

people. We welcome those sponsors, life members and 

dignitaries to the first Presidents Luncheon for the year. 

We also welcome all members, juniors and supporters 

of the Club. Rowville extends its hospitality to 

Mulgrave in what should be a close game by 

neighbourhood rivals. Rowville has for the first time 

entered a "second" Colts team playing in Division 4. 

This enables all young men wanting to play footy to be 

able to have a game for the Brown and Gold. Their 

season began last week away to Heathmont. 

Unfortunately we didn't come away with the points but 

great efforts by Josh Hill, Luke Houghton and David 

Smyth showed a positive result is just around the corner. 

We all hope Harley recovers from his serious leg injury 

and is back playing soon. Let this week earn us four 

good wins. Best of luck to the 432 Rowville juniors who 

begin their season tomorrow. Keep an eye out for all 

Social events. 

SOUTH CROYDON 

We welcome all Bulldogs supporters to a new year of 

football, this time, back in Division 2 after last year’s 

premiership success. Congratulations once again to 

Paris, his coaching staff and all the players on their 

tremendous efforts though out last year culminating in 

the grand final win. Despite the preseason difficulties 

with ground availability, training has been good and the 

boys are keen to acquit themselves well in the higher 

division. As always, there have been a number of player 

changes during the off season. Good luck to all our new 

recruits and to our old players who have moved on to 

other clubs. On the coaching front, we welcome back 

Paris Harvie as our Senior Coach, Matt Fittolani as his 

assistant and Ryan Bromage as Reserves Coach. We also 

welcome Rod Allison as the coach of our Colts team. 

Having previously won a Division 2 EFL Premiership, 

Rod’s experience will be fantastic for our young players. 

This week we unfurl our premiership flag in front of old 

foes Montrose before our Round 1 clash at Cheong Park. 

All grades are looking forward to the challenge that lay 

ahead. Good luck to both teams. As always, we cannot 

survive without our sponsors. I will ensure everyone is 

acknowledged over the next few rounds, however will 

start with, our thanks go to: our #1 ticket holder Ray 

Tonisson and the Bendigo Community Bank at East 

Ringwood, Damien Degenhardt and Effective Freight 

Management, and Dave Petersen and South Croydon 

Gourmet meat and Poultry. We also rely heavily on the 

support of our members and volunteers. I thank you all 

in advance for the hard work and commitment you will 

put in supporting the club. To become a financial 

member, you can get your membership or Kennel Club 

tickets from Peter Kaspar or the Bar staff. I look forward 

to seeing everyone in the social rooms after the game. 


Welcome to all members & supporters, particularly 

those new to the club. It's been a very difficult 

preparation for the Coaches & players contributed by the 

lack of rain and ground conditions which has severely 

hampered their training program. However it's now all 

behind us so after been on the track since mid-November 

we now have the opportunity to play for premiership 

points. Round 1 at home against our local rival Knox 

will provide an early indication of how tough Division 2 

will be this year – all teams will be thoroughly tested. 

Special welcome to all our sponsors & coterie group 

members (Deviltonians) who continue to help us grow. 

The Knox Club & Penfold Motors, Burwood have joined 

us this year as major sponsors – we appreciate there 

support and ask all members to continue to support those 

who support us. On a social note the Ladies Luncheon is 

scheduled for Saturday 12 May (Bayswater match) so 

bookings can be made through our Social Convenor 

(Maree Percy 0417 150 977). Cost is $30 per head which 

includes food and drinks.

UMPIRES PAGE 

WELCOME TO UMPIRE’S CORNER 2007 

By Charlie May 

Last Saturday saw the opening of the EFL 2007 

Season and with it came very welcome rains, 

bringing relief to a drought stricken Victoria. 

What a stark contrast this was for Umpires who 

had experienced a long dry frustrating preseason, 

having a lack of practice matches, 

difficult training conditions, unsure of when the 

season would commence and the uncertainty of 

ground conditions. However, I am sure that all 

challenges will be met and 2007 will be a very successful 

season for EFLUA. 

Welcome and congratulations to our new member team 

Balwyn and best wishes to all EFL Teams for success in 

Season 2007. 

This week we focus on our member Bill Moxham who was 

awarded an EFL Service Award at last November’s EFL 

2006, Annual General Meeting. 

Bill told me that that he was inspired to take up umpiring due 

to his grandfather, William and father Norman both being 

umpires. Apparently his grandfather played in the 1909 

South Melbourne Premiership Team and later decided to 

become an umpire with the VFL. Bill added that he 

experienced immense pleasure in umpiring a Grand Final 

with his father and umpiring football with his son Jamie. 

Bill’s umpiring career commenced in 1965 with a two year 

stint with Mountain District League and following this he 

umpired with the South West Gippsland League before 

crossing to the Eastern District League in 1969.

For the record Bill’s 

achievements are as 

follows: 

• Founding Member of 

Eastern Football League Umpires Association 

in 1969 

• 1st Division Grand Final Appointments – 

Officiated as a Goal Umpire in 9 First Division 

Grand Finals between 1970 to 1984 

• Total EDFL/EFL Appointments – 780 Games to 

date over a 37 year span 

• Recognition by Federal Government – In 2001 Bill was 

awarded the Confederation Medal by the 

Commonwealth. This award was an acknowledgement 

of his length of service to EFLUA and the Eastern 

Football League. 

Bill says that he still enjoys umpiring and would continue to 

be involved as long as possible. 

Apart from umpiring he enjoys life with his wife Sandie Lee 

and his seven children and 21 grand children.

EFL CHARITY GOLF DAY 

This season the EFL have decided to run a number of 

events, each with a theme attached to them, with our 

first being an “EFL Charity Golf Day” at Eastwood 

Golf Club (Liverpool Road, Kilsyth) on April 30. 

Our nominated charity is “The Reach Foundation” 

which was founded by former Melbourne ruckman Jim 

Stynes. 

All profits raised from our “$15,000 Hole in One” 

competition and major raffle will be donated to “The 

Reach Foundation” 

Applications to our golf day, can be found on the forms

STABLEFORD” with teams of two. We have limited 

spaces available, so we encourage you to enter your 

team and respond promptly to avoid disappointment. 

Anyone can play and be part of the day, but to be 

eligible to win for your nominated club $1,000 of 

medical supplies you will need to have a registered club 

handicap or Australian Golfpass Handicap. 

For more information and an application form visit the 

forms download section of the EFL website 

www.efl.org.au. 

PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY: 

WHAT DO REACH DO? 

Often the biggest barrier between a teenager and his or 

her goals is a lack of self-belief and support. 

At Reach, a specially trained Crew of inspirational 

young leaders run workshops, weekends away and 

large-scale events that help young people to connect 

with each other. 

In 2006, they ran 16 different Reach programs in more 

than 400 locations across Australia, to over 45,000 

teenagers aged 13-18. 

By creating an encouraging, supportive and stimulating 

environment, teenagers discover for themselves that 

they can do anything they set their minds to. It's this 

personal discovery that makes the best teacher. 

Independent research shows Reach help young people 

improve self-esteem and gain a greater sense of control 

over their lives.

In wet and wintery conditions, Doncaster East took 

on Boronia at Zerbes Reserve on Saturday in Round 

1 of EFL action for 2007 as PAUL HOOPER 

reports. 

Doncaster East unveiled their new strip as 

worn by the Brisbane Lions. The club is 

aligned with the Beverley Hills Junior 

Football Club who have worn this strip for many 

years and previous to the Brisbane Lions strip they 

wore the Fitzroy strip. Doncaster East have worn the 

Adelaide strip since 1993 but decided to adopt the 

junior club’s jumper in 2007 to bring the clubs closer 

together. 

A healthy crowd saw a tough encounter in wet and 

slippery conditions. Boronia had a majority of the 

play in the first quarter with 14 inside 50’s to 

Doncaster East’s 6 but they struggled to convert 

scoring only 1-4-10. New Donny East playing 

coach, Cameron Gillett along with Mick Devine in 

defence were playing well and thwarting the Boronia 

attack. Doncaster East made the most of their 

opportunities scoring 4-1-25. 

Even though the forecast did say rain on Saturday, no 

one could predict the heavy rain that continued for 

nearly the entire match. The playing surface was in 

great condition being quite lush. The contest was 

hampered by the wintery conditions and it became a 

scrappy, in-and-under game for the majority. 

Straight kicking by East Doncaster with 9-2-56 to 

Boronia’s 3-5-23 at half-time was always going to be 

hard for Boronia to counter in the second half. 

Boronia may have taken too many big blokes in to the 

game and not enough smaller guys to cope with the 

very wet conditions. 

Having said this, Doncaster East’s evergreen Mick 

Parthenides was dominant in the ruck duels and onballer, 

Leigh Murphy was hard to stop in a best on

ground performance. John Blias was kicking straight 

and Doncaster East ran out easy winners 17-8-110 to 

7-10-52. DEFC major Goalkickers were John 

Blias with 4, Leigh Murphy with 3 and 2 goals 

to both Mick Parthenides and Dan Viano. 

Several others kicked singles. 

For Boronia, Dylan Sloane and Matt 

Buzinskas booted 2 goals each and singles to Reid, 

Bridges and Appleby. 

Best for East Doncaster was Leigh Murphy and 

others who played well were Mick Parthenides, John 

Blias, Cameron Gillett, Mick Devine, John Laver and 

the serial pest, Saade Daher was impressive with his 

tough, wet weather game. 

For Boronia, James Reid and Scott McKenzie were 

best. Steve O’Reilly, John Raiti, Dylan Sloane and 

Matt Buzinskas tried hard. 

The conditions were not conducive to a high-standard 

game. Doncaster East coped better in the conditions 

and made the most of their opportunities. On a dry 

day, this contest would be a lot closer. Boronia’s 

intensity was good and will win a fair share of games 

this year. If Doncaster East can remain relatively 

injury-free, I expect them to be a top four side. 

This week, Doncaster East takes on Templestowe in a 

local derby which will be a great contest and Boronia 

travel to promoted Warrandyte who will be looking 

for a second win on the trot. 

Get out and support your local Eastern Football 

League club…”Where Mates Matter” !


BEARS MOVE FORWARD TO 2007 

The Basin Bears have put a miserable end to Season 2006 

behind them, after gaining a 42 point victory over the Eastern 

Lions at Fair Park Reserve last weekend. It was a 

typical rainy day of footy; however the wet conditions 

failed to intimidate the Basin, who held the lead from 

start to finish. After a disappointing first half, the 

Lions fought back in the third and fourth quarters – 

however, by this stage it was too late to recover what they 

lost during the first half – the final scores finishing up as 11- 

10-94 for the Basin Bears, defeating the Eastern Lions, 7-10- 

52 in the opening round of the 2007 Season as TESSA 

RODRIQUEZ reports. 

The match started positively for the Bears, with Brett 

Hartman booting two straight goals in the opening minutes of 

the quarter. The Basin dominated possession of the ball in all 

aspects of the ground, with the Lions struggling to push the 

ball forward and cope with the Bear’s strong backline. A free 

kick to Max Gasparroni saw the Lions score their first goal 

of the Season – however, the constant pressure applied by the 

Bears was hard to match. Luke Anderson in particular played 

an important part in the midfield, clearing the ball from the 

Lion’s forward line. After a relatively slow quarter that was 

burdened by heavy rain, the Bears managed to hold a 17 

point lead at quarter time, causing some understandable 

angst by Eastern Lions coach Frank Lesiputty, who accused 

the team of being undisciplined during the first term. 

Ben Holmes opened the second quarter with a classic mark 

and extended the Bears lead to 23 points. The Lions 

continued to struggle in gaining possession of the ball, and 

failed to push the ball into their forward line. Ten minutes in 

and the Lions still had a goalless quarter – with only two 

goals kicked for the match so far. The wet weather continued 

to prove a disadvantage for the Lions, as the Bears continued 

to dominate all areas of the field and managed to hold 

possession of the ball in their forward line for a majority of 

the quarter. Standout performances from the likes of 

Anderson and Hartman helped to give the Bears a relatively 

comfortable 47 point lead into half time – the scoreboard 

reading 3-5-23 for the Lions, trailing the Bears, 11-4-70. 

Despite a disappointing first half, the Lions managed to 

improve their tactics in the third quarter, nailing the first 3 

goals within 10 minutes of the term. Notable performances 

from midfielders such as Paul Capper and Luke Wilson 

contributed to impressive game play for the Lions, 

who relied on teamwork and constant pressure to win 

the quarter. The Bears were left somewhat 

disorientated and struggled to keep up with their 

opponents, with Joshua Best scoring the Bears first 

goal just seconds before the siren. Whilst they dominated the 

third term, the Lions still trailed the Bears by 35 points 

leading into three quarter time. 

The final quarter started off disastrously for the Lions, as midfielder 

Scott Rusbridge took a heavy fall in the opening 

minutes and was stretchered off with mild concussion. A free 

kick to the Bears and it seemed as if they had sealed their win, 

extending their lead to 41 points. Although they improved 

immensely during the second half, the Lions were still hurt by 

the scoreboard that had cost them so much in the first two 

quarters of the game. An uneventful last term saw sloppy 

football from both sides, who continued to compete with the 

rain. Major possession of the ball in the Bear’s forward line 

saw little action in the midfield, as both teams were hurt by 

poor judgement and inaccurate kicking. A loose kick off the 

boot from Stephen Dix resulted in the Lion’s 7th and final 

goal for the match – not enough to come even remotely close 

to victory, as the siren sounded moments later, assuring the 

Basin Bears a 42 point win over the Eastern Lions. 

Impressive performances from the Bears included Luke 

Wilson and Leigh Haslem, who had a major influence in the 

midfield and maintained numerous possessions. Leading 

goalkickers for the Basin were Darren Sharp with 4, Paul 

Hartman and Michael Oxley who both kicked 3 each. 

For the Lions, Paul Capper, Jeffrey White and Matthew King 

were among the best players on the day, dominating the 

ground – notably in the final quarters. David Mazins was the 

only multiple goal scorer for the Lions, contributing 2 goals 

to the final score. 

Next week, the Bears meet with Kilsyth – which should 

prove to be an interesting and possibly close game. The 

Lions take on the Glen Waverly Hawks at home, and 

providing they play the quality football they played in the 

second half last week, they should come home with a win. 

BEARS LOOK FOR NEW COACH 

The Basin FC is in search for a new senior coach after the resignation of Brett Hartman last weekend. 

The club would like to thank Brett for his dedication and service to the Club over the last year, and in the 

past. The club will be looking to appoint a new coach within the next 2 weeks, with Chairman of Selectors 

Darren Searle running the bench for The Basin this week.

PIONEERS WIN, BUT EAGLES 

SHOW SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT 

Traditionally in Division Four of the Eastern Football League, 

there has been a significant gap between the elite teams and the 

strugglers. Nowhere was this more apparent than in 

season 2006, where three games separated fourth and 

fifth spots on the ladder at season’s end. Based on the 

evidence shown in the opening game of the 2007 

Division Four season at Ferntree Gully Reserve on the 

weekend, this gap is starting to close. 

The Ferntree Gully Eagles, who finished ninth in 2006 with 

only three wins, took the game right up to last year’s losing 

Grand Finalists in the Whitehorse Pioneers last Saturday, with 

only a five goal to one second quarter in favour of the Pioneers 

proving the difference as the Pioneers ran out 23 point victors, 

as SHAUN KELLY reports. 

Both teams entered the match almost unrecognisable from their 

2006 counterparts. Just seven of the players who represented 

the Pioneers in the 2006 Grand Final took to the field for the 

Pioneers last weekend, whilst the Eagles featured eleven 

players pulling on a Ferntree Gully jumper for the first time, 

including new coach Jason Allsopp. 

The game started in a most unexpected manner, with rain 

starting to fall just as umpire David Blom held the ball aloft to 

start the 2007 EFL season – a most ironic situation given that 

the EFL season was postponed for a week due to the lack of 

rain over the summer months. Both teams seemed to take some 

time to find their feet, with the slippery ball creating havoc 

amongst players grasping new game plans. Both teams were 

impressive early, with the Pioneers having numerous forward 

entries in the first five minutes as former Surrey Park forward 

Jacob Paulka started the game well at centre half-forward, but 

couldn’t quite find the radar early. Ferntree Gully dominated 

possession over the next five minutes, but whilst ex-East 

Burwood big man Rhys Dahl was presenting well out of fullforward, 

the ball just wasn’t sticking in his sizeable hands. It 

took twelve minutes before the opportunistic Nathan Jones 

kicked the first goal of the game for the Ferntree Gully Eagles, 

and when Karl Lewicki soon followed with his first goal in a 

Pioneers jumper after spending the 2006 season at Surrey Park, 

nothing could separate the teams on the scoreboard at the 

quarter-time break. 

The second quarter was where the game was broken wide open. 

The Pioneers opened the scoring within the first minute thanks 

to the creativity of prodigal son Jacob Daley, who a week ago 

was preparing to don the yellow and black of the Mitcham 

Football Club for 2007, before a late change of heart saw him 

re-join the Pioneers just in time to take the field. And when he 

kicked his second goal of the game not long after, both 

beautiful roving goals from stoppage situations, Eagles fans 

were no doubt wishing he had remained at Walker Park!! 

The Pioneers were starting to gain midfield ascendancy 

through ruckman Brad Hancock, who was dominating ruck 

stoppages, and through Zac Tarr playing as a loose man across 

half-back marking everything that came down. New assistant 

coach John Dinicolantonio kicked his first goal at the seven 

minute mark to give the Pioneers a handy three goal 

lead, then when Paulka kicked his first goal and Lewicki 

his second each in quick succession, the Pioneers lead 

had blown out to beyond five goals, with the rain that 

had been falling since the opening bounce showing no 

signs of easing. 

The Eagles weren’t without their chances during this period, 

but with Dahl still unsure with his marking and the 

effectiveness of Tarr and Chris Aitken down back for the 

Pioneers, avenues to goal were becoming hard to find. That 

was until Dahl was thrown into the ruck for the Eagles after 

Lewicki’s second goal, and almost immediately, the Eagles 

moved the ball through the centre corridor to find captain Ben 

Rawlings, who converted his first goal of the afternoon, but the 

damage had been done, and the Pioneers took a handy twentythree 

point lead into the long break. 

To the amazement of almost everyone, not only did the rain set 

in during the half-time break, but seemed to get stronger, 

condemning the second half to a low-scoring affair. It was all 

Ferntree Gully at the beginning of the third quarter, with 

Rawlings kicking his second goal early in the piece, but despite 

2006 Best and Fairest Daniel Deieso starting to have an impact 

in the ruck and across half-back and the Eagles dominating 

play, they couldn’t kick those much-needed goals that would 

have given them a real sniff in the contest. When Paulka kicked 

his second goal of the day entering time-on in the third quarter, 

it took the wind out of the Eagles sails a touch, and they trailed 

by twenty-two points at three quarter time – winning the 

quarter by one point, but having almost double the possession 

time of the Pioneers. 

As expected, the game really reverted into wet weather football 

after half-time, and this was no more evident than during the 

final quarter. Umpires David Blom and Jamie Beattie paid 

nineteen free kicks during the final quarter – more than the 

previous two quarters combined – as the ball spent the majority 

of the quarter on the deck in contested situations. The game 

took on a sense of finality when Lewicki capped off a fantastic 

debut game for the Pioneers by snapping his third goal early in 

the quarter, and despite Eagles assistant coach Dan McCall 

taking advantage of a rare error by Tarr to and kick the Eagles 

fourth goal of the afternoon, the scoreboard at the final siren 

showed the Pioneers twenty-three points adrift of the Eagles, 

and celebrating their first win of the season. 

The gap is starting to close in Division Four. Whilst the 

Ferntree Gully Eagles couldn’t salute the judges last Saturday, 

they showed that they are a much more formidable 

combination than they were during the 2006 season, and it 

won’t be long until they, like the Whitehorse Pioneers have on 

so many occasions of recent years, get the chance to sing their 

club song with gusto on a regular basis.


CLUB NOTES 

BORONIA 

Well not the best way to start off our season, but after taking 

out all the negatives and there were quite a few, there were a 

number of positives. With a number of our new recruits 

standing up and playing very well we need to take a good 

look at ourselves to achieve the same result .We know we 

have a lot of work to do but we as a club have every 

confidence in you all to get the results we have been looking 

for, for some time. Better players Seniors J.Reid, S 

McKenzie, S O'Reilly. Reserves a great effort, the wins will 

come through the season Better Players Van Dort M.Stevens 

and the rest of the team who through the game did their best. 

Colts a great effort and like the ressies the wins will come, 

some great individual efforts we now need to make a bigger 

team effort Better Players: Allen brothers Mollica and the 

rest of the team who at times did some great work. This 

week is a big must win for the club and it starts on the track. 

Good luck. "go hawkers" 

COLDSTREAM 

In SOS's 150th game the two's got off to a slow start and 

were blown away by a more experienced opposition in the 

first half. The second half was a much more even contest but 

the boys were just not able to pick up any of the lead they 

had conceded in the first half. The pleasing factor though, 

was that most of the young kids played extremely well and 

featured in the votes. There is a lot of improvement left in 

this side. The seniors' game was a much more even contest 

all day with a number of lead changes and there was only 

four points in it half time. Nunawading increased this lead to 

nine points at the orange break. They got to a decisive break 

early in the last, the Cougars pegged that back to just four 

points by midway through the quarter. The momentum was 

all with Coldstream but a few basic mistakes and the 

inability to deal with Nunawading's flooding of our forward 

line allowed Nunawading to regain the ascendancy and run 

out the game. With all the new recruits the team isn’t quite 

gelling at the moment, but this will change as the boys get to 

know each other better. The new boys all played great 

games. Michael Shaw plays his 50th game this week. 

Congratulations Shawry! Go Cougars. 

DONCASTER EAST 

What a great result last week with a trifecta of wins and a 

fantastic day for the club. We had an enjoyable luncheon 

with special guests Rob Sharpe, Phil Murton from the EFL, 

ex Mayor Bill Larkin and wife, Father Gregory and sponsors 

and friends of DEFC. Well done David Sowersby. Today we 

have the local derby and rivals Templestowe. This should be 

a great game and a gauge of where both clubs are this 

season. We have the 'Ladies Luncheon" upstairs which 

means that downstairs the supporters will be fairly packed as 

these games always attract a big crowd. Terrific effort by the 

U 18's last week winning their first game particularly with 

the little training they have done together. We are looking 

forward to the boys getting to know one another and they 

should only improve as the season goes on. Don't forget get

Donny East 

MOOROOLBARK 

The season opened full of promise for the Mustangs, with 

the unfurling of the Colts 2006 premiership flag. The boys 

got things off to a great start with a strong 62 point win over 

last year grand final opponent, showing that they will be 

right up there again this season. Paul Hager kicked 5 goals 

in a b.o.g. performance. Nick Maxwell also got amongst it 

with 4 goals. Others to show out were Watkins, Neumann, 

Peschke & Perrett. The Reserves started with 7 new players 

and after a slow start, managed to overrun Waverley Blues 

by 31 points. Jimmy Hammond & Daniel Dimitriou kicked 

3 goals each and better players were Forbes, Leary, 

Hammond, Lemon, Sudomirski & Rowe. By the time the 

Seniors got on the ground steady rain was falling and it 

didn't let up all game. Unfortunately, we didn't handle the 

conditions as well as our opponents and were 10 goals down 

at 1/2 time. On a positive note, we managed to match them 

in the 2nd half but the damage had been done, going down 

by 74 points in a disappointing start to the season. New cocaptain, 

Scott Dimitriou, tried hard all day, kicking 2 goals 

and being judged our best player. Others who put in were 

Jones, Polkinghorne, Cameron, A.Thompson & Fitzgerald. 

This week we are at home again, this time against 

Nunawading, and we desperately need a win to appease our 

large army of loyal supporters. GO MUSTANGS!! 

NUNAWADING 

Football 2007 style is well and truly under way, and didn't 

we welcome it in fantastic style. Our new-look Reserves 

line-up led the way by picking up where there 2006 

counterparts left off, by recording a strong 54 point victory 

against Coldstream. Great to see Brendan Gasparini back in 

maroon and gold after a horrific Round 1 injury last season, 

kicking four goals, and new boys Julian Mihran and Matt 

Cook kicking three each. Nathan Tobin and the Jones boys 

were all sensational, and have ensured a couple of long 

nights for the selection committees during the week just 

gone!!! Seniors travelled out to Coldstream, where we have 

seen success more often than not of recent, and strung 

together four quarters of solid footy to record our first 

victory of the season over some quality opposition by 21 

points. Captain Sam McCallum led the way, as always, with 

four goals in a brilliant display, new boy Cam Ross was 

fantastic in the ruck, Adam Tobin continued the form that 

won him the 2006 Best and Fairest, and Matthew Groat was 

sensational in a new role. Congratulations to Andrew Goland 

and Andrew "Spider" Campey on their 50th games last 

weekend as well. Another big road test today, as we travel to 

our "bogey ground", Heights Reserve, to take on the young 

and enthusiastic Mooroolbark outfit. After being shown up


in recent years at Heights Reserve, there's nothing more that 

the Nuna faithful want than to come home with eight points 

in the bag on Saturday night. Sunday May 6 marks a historic 

day for the Nunawading Football Club, as our Vets side 

makes its debut at Pinks Reserve against Kilsyth. Led by 

John Charman and Shevy, let's see a large crowd of maroon 

and gold supporting the Vets this year, with good times 

guaranteed. Player Auction is next week - see the flyers 

around the club for more info, or get an Auction Book off 

Shauny during the week. Start forming your syndicates - 

there's $$$$ to be won!!! 

TEMPLESTOWE 

All teams were looking forward to the start of the season and 

we travelled to Upper Ferntree Gully in the knowledge that 

we were to face a formidable group of players who reached 

the finals last year. The day started out as a pleasant autumn 

day with some of our supporters turning up in tee-shirts and 

shorts but who came to regret their clothing decisions as the 

weather deteriorated. For our Colts boys, this was to be their 

first outing playing in a senior club and for most of the 

match they acquitted themselves extremely well, going toeto-toe 

with UFTG in a closely fought contest and leading by 

three points going into the final term. Whatever the reason, 

whether it was tiredness, or match nerves, the boys looked 

pretty flat during the fourth quarter and allowed their 

opposition to take control of game and go on to comfortably 

win the match. The Reserves match, too, was a tightly fought 

contest with the scores at each break only wavering by 

twelve points at most. Both teams looked pretty fit (as they 

should be) and skill levels high. Like the Colts match, the 

scores remained tight throughout, however, UTFG had the 

advantage right up until three-quarter time. The final quarter 

turned into a nail-biter with the lead changing a couple of 

times. Both teams played particularly well and in the end, it 

was the siren that decided the fate of the match, to our 

favour. The key match of the day was going to be a real test 

for us. Upper Ferntree Gully gave us a lesson in playing 

football when we played them in Round 16 last year so we 

needed to prove ourselves. As the siren signalled the start of 

the match, the first drops of rain fell and continued with 

increasing strength for the rest of the day. Unlike the other 

teams who played their matches in dry conditions, this 

contest turned into a different style of game with the ball 

becoming increasingly slippery and the ground wet. Upper 

Ferntree Gully had the upper hand at the end of the first 

quarter but that was to be their only glimpse of the lead for 

the rest of the day. At the end of each subsequent break our 

lead increased, and by the final siren our victory by 41 points 

was sweet indeed. 

UPPER FERNTREE GULLY 

Not our most glamorous start to the year with both the 

Seniors and Reserves going down. Perhaps it was the shock 

of that wet stuff falling from the sky...I think it used to be 

called rain! Who would've dreamed we be playing our first 

game this year in four quarters of rain!! Anyway, the Colts 

CLUB NOTES 

did us proud with a good win to kick their season off and 

the others will make amends today! Welcome our new 

sponsors for 2007...Big Wal from Boococks Meats in 

Studfield and his partner in crime, Craig from CD 

Automotive...look out when these two turn up for 

Sponsor's day! Also welcome back an "old" face in Neil 

Thompson who has brought Staff Australia on board as a 

Silver Sponsor for this year. Now, if you need a job, see 

Neil... if you need to get your car going to get there, see 

Craig...and if you're hungry after all that work, see Big Wal 

for a decent feed! See, we've got all your needs 

covered...you just need to check the sponsors board and let 

'em know you're from Upper Gully! On a more serious 

note, our best wishes go to Donna B who has looked after 

our canteen for the last few years. Speedy recovery to you, 

Mate, and hurry back. Thank you to Marg Hart who so 

generously stepped in at the last minute last week to take 

over canteen duties. Remember, if you can help in any way, 

either weekly or just a one-off stint in timekeeping, the 

van, canteen, bingo, whatever, it would be greatly 

appreciated..see Dave, Ray, Toni, Mitch or anyone else 

who's walking (tearing!) around looking stressed. Party 

Nite TONITE so get back to the club and kick off 2007 in 

true Upper Gully form. 

WARRANDYTE 

It’s been an unusually long summer for the WFC, well at 

least two weeks longer but finally we can see the boys able 

to get out onto the field and fight for the premiership points 

again. After two solid hit outs at Phillip Island, our new 

second home, the mood is optimistic about our return to 

division 3 football. Good luck to all three sides Vs Boronia 

today, a quick reminder to club sponsors that refreshments 

will be put on in the social rooms at half time of the seniors 

at all home games. Don’t forget to purchase your 2007 

Club 100 membership for your chance to win $5000 worth 

of sponsors goods or services, see James Logan or Terry 

Ryan for details. Enjoy the football and help us celebrate 3 

good wins in the social rooms after today’s game… 

(hopefully). GO BLOODS!!! 

WAVELEY BLUES 

A great start to the season by the Seniors last week, and 

wasn't the rain a welcome sight? Not enough of it though! 

Colts showed some promising form early in their game & 

were right in it at 3/4 time, but lack of preseason for quite 

a few, showed in the last quarter. Reserves were also 

overpowered by the Mustangs & will need to work harder 

to obtain positive results. The pleasing aspect of the 

Seniors victory was the manner in which the young players 

coming up from last season's Colts to fill the void of 

experience, settled in to the TEAM. With a BYE this week 

we can relax & enjoy, but need to do some hard work prior 

to the Boronia game. Thanks to our SPONSORS for 

sticking with us in 2007! We also wish Max Day a healthy 

recovery & trust he will be on the Interchange in the next 

few weeks. GO BLUES! - Optic.

CHIRNSIDE PARK 

Seniors - First up win for the season with 21 committed 

players, solid performance from the onball squad of Marc S, 

Matt McN and Matt C. We won all quarters and played well 

across all lines with 11 players contributing to goals scored 

with Troy D finishing with 4 for the day. A pat on the back 

to the coaching staff, trainers and selection committee for 

getting us ready in a trying preseason. Reserves - A well 

fought tough game but not the result we were after. We 

swung the team around after half time with Glenn L moving 

into attack with immediate results, but for wayward kicking 

his return for effort wasn't rewarded. We move onto next 

week with more players available for selection to strengthen 

the two's. Colts - New coach Anthony C supported by Ian L 

went into this game with a strong positive approach, not 

knowing where our strengths on the field were. To the boys 

credit they ran all day , accepted the changes and kept going. 

Two kicks behind half way into the last quarter so going to 

test thier mental resolve. To their credit they came away with 

a win and move onto next week. Better players - The team 

EASTERN LIONS 

Eastern Lions .v. The Basin 21.4.2007. A disappointing start 

to the season with all grades beaten. U18 Colts very 

undermanned. We need you and your mates all to get down 

to training and fill the team. Reserves started well with 

positive attitude. This was followed by poor manning up. 

More accurate kicking needed. Better marking and tackling 

needed. Yes, the basics of football have to come back. Paul 

Franklin performed well at full forward kicking 4 goals. 

New recruit Cameron Ray got one goal and also won a 

Fleischer's meat tray and a slab of Crownies (when is the 

BBQ?) Final score not attractive. Seniors - that strange water 

falling from the sky made the ball slippery causing missed 

kicks and dropped marks. The first two quarters went to The 

Basin's advantage but with more positive play the Lions 

improved over the rest of the game. Jeff White at fullback 

stopped many goals. Matt King, Chad Mitchell and Leigh 

Rankin performed well around the ground. Next week we 

will see a turnaround in positive thinking and a much better 

performance. 

FERNTREE GULLY 

With a hectic summer past, the season got off to a pretty 

good start. Welcome to all the new coaches, Jason - 

seniors, Stocker - Ressies and Rob Stewart - 18's. A good 

solid effort from the senior team last week as we faced last 

years Grand Finalist Whitehorse. It was an even affair all 

day except for a three unanswered goals by Whitehorse in 

the second quarter which was the difference. With many 

new faces last week, each game will bring more confidence 

within the team. Ressies got off to a slow start, but like the 

seniors there are many new faces and once we all get to 

know one another a win should not be too far away. 

Fantastic effort by the under 18's , winning by 20 goals. 

Rob and Johnny will keep the boys on track, with a big 

CLUB NOTES 

game this week against Chirnside. Well done guys. 

Hopefully a win this week for all grades - Go Gully. 

FOREST HILL 

Like the EFL faithful, judging by the rain even the big man 

upstairs is dictated by the EFL fixture. After a difficult preseason 

managing the drought the 07 season finally got 

under way in the most contrasting of conditions. The 

disappointment of not fielding a colts team was 

compounded by the fact I had to wait till midday for my 

first fix of local footy for 2007. However once underway I 

was not disappointed. The reserves fielding what on paper 

appeared to be a strong side proved just that, in a 

devastating display there was only ever one team in the 

contest. The Zebra’s still hurting from a semi final defeat to 

the Panthers erased the memory of that match by 

accounting for Surrey Park to the tune of 127 points. With 

a win of that magnitude I’m not going to bother mentioning 

individuals as the entire 22 performed well. While 

obviously buoyed by this performance I was a little 

apprehensive leading into the senior game as although we 

have added to our list we were coming up against one of 

the most dominant teams during the 06 home & away 

season. The rain assisted neither team but it was clear from 

early on that out tenacity at the football would hold us in 

good stead in achieving the desired result, and didn’t the 

boys deliver. As the rain continued to fall our quality began 

to rise, in what was best described as a scrappy game the 

Zebras were in control from after the long break and ran 

out comfortable winners. Similar to the reserves all players 

contributed to the win and really pleasing to see 6 colts 

players make their debuts and prove to the club and more 

importantly themselves they are more than capable of 

making the transition into senior footy. A great result for 

both teams and their respective new coaches, however as 

always I will add some perspective and declare that is 

round one and one win out of the way with another 17 

games, and hopefully a couple more to come. This week 

we visit the Pioneers who will again prove an extremely 

difficult task but it gives us another opportunity to see 

where we are at. 

GLEN WAVERLEY HAWKS 

A disappointing start to go down by 14 points when leading 

at the last change, the lose of Aaron Riddle before the game 

did not help our structure. Fine individual effort by Mark 

Foote and Daniel Harper and promising signs from Gaddy 

before the rain came. John and the ressies had a day they 

would rather forget with all the practice match form going 

out the window. From the mood around the club on 

Saturday night the boys cannot wait for next week to 

redeem themselves. Up and coming events a Night with 

Chopper Read more details in the weeks to come. For all 

our supporter in the weeks to come you can get a game day 

membership which gives you great value for money a day 

in the MIB tent and entry to the half time function. 



CLUB NOTES 

HEATHMONT 

It was a fantastic day for the Jets last Saturday, with each of 

its teams winning. The Colts got things off to a good start 

when they beat Rowville 2 by 44 points. The reserves and 

seniors continued the good work with victory over Glen 

Waverley Hawks by 51 and 14 points respectively. Let’s hope 

the trend continues today as the Jets host Surrey Park.

KILSYTH 

Welcome to the first clash of the season at Pinks. A more 

worthy game would be hard to find, with both sides out to 

gain the upper hand in an increasingly more bitter feud. 

Today will see the Cougars try to build on a luke warm start 

to the season, and show that with so many new signings a 

great era of success can be formed. Many of the Cougars 

struggled to find their groove last week and have plenty to 

prove to themselves and the club. Our new SUPERBOX 

opens today aptly named the Mike O'Meara Cougar Room 

after our long standing President who will conclude his 

innings at the end of '07. The superbox can be hired for all 

home games with a max. of 12 people, with all drinks & food 

included along with foxtel, sky racing and the best view of 

football in the E.F.L, with an added bonus of heating for 

those chilly killy days. Ask at the pavilion about the box or to 

purchase your '07 memberships. For all Kilsyth Information 

head to our website, carrying all the latest in club news, vets 

news, player profiles & stats, social calendar, photo galleries 

and our new Forum, a place for all our fans (and knockers) to 

have their say on the days games and goings on. Go to

rooms post game today for a drink and to meander through 

the fantastic new trophy cabinets and to see the Mike 

O'Meara Cougar Room. Good luck to all our cougars out 

there today. Remember: If u Want it, Go get it! 

THE BASIN 

The Basin Played Eastern Lions at Fair Park it was always 

going to be a challenge. We started the day with the 18's 

52 


playing against the lions. Due to them being unable to field a 

side we loaned them some players and played a game. The 

18's have been unable to play any practice matches and are 

still an unknown quantity. It wasn't a good start to the season 

but hopefully next week will give us an idea of where we are 

at. The 2nds were very competitive and had Eastern’s 

measure right from the start. There were a lot of very good 

players in the side that will be putting a lot of pressure on 

some of the senior players in the coming months. 

Unfortunately there were a number of players who missed 

out on a game but if these players continue to put in the work 

on the track their turn will come. If you miss out on a game 

get to the match and help Brett Howlett with the team jobs 

such as waving the flags or running boundary. If anyone 

knows someone willing to take on the team managers job for 

the two's please call Brett Howlett and let him know, being 

part of a successful unit can be very rewarding. The one's 

played a great game. Rain fell all day and they still were up 

to the task, which all goes well for the next couple of months. 

The young players all stepped up with Josh Wilson holding 

Mazin's to 2 goals for the day and was rewarded with best on 

ground for the Basin. Shannon Davis did a great job in and 

out of the ruck. Hazza played well as did Willow and Homer. 

It was a good game by both sides. 

WHITEHORSE PIONEERS 

After struggling with numbers through pre season, the U/18's 

took to the field with a full team. The signs early were good, 

with all players displaying a fair bit of talent and run. 

Unfortunately that couldn't be maintained through the second 

half and the boys know they need to put in a few hard weeks 

on the track to get better results in the future. The two's 

showed they may be a good side this year, with a very young 

balanced out fit, which committed early and kept the intensity 

for the whole game, running out good winners on the day. 

The rain came and the style of the footy changed for the day. 

Goals were hard to come by and a second quarter burst of 4 

goals was the difference between the two sides. Some 

promising signs from the new players and with us a little 

under done from a restricted pre season, the coaching panel 

will have the boys working hard over the next few weeks to 

make up for the lack of games and training. Hope all the 

girlfriends/wives/mums are able to make it to the club tonight 

for a drink and chat to introduce the new Ladies to the club. 

Nibbles and champers from 7pm so come along and the old 

can meet the new. Reminder our first Social function is on

EASTERN RANGES 

MATCH REPORT ROUND 3 TAC CUP 

EASTERN RANGES VERSUS 

BALLARAT REBELS 

DATE: SUNDAY 22ND APRIL 

VENUE: AUSTAR ARENA 

Belinda Keay 

Round 3 of the TAC CUP on Sunday saw the Eastern 

Ranges travel to Ballarat to take on the North Ballarat 

Rebels, at the Austar Arena. 

It was an opportunity for both teams to register their 

first win of the season. This is in stark contrast to the 

Rebels of ’06, who went through the entire home and 

away season without being defeated! 

Eastern came out in the first quarter firing with Shaun 

Dixon, Matt Lobbe and Andrew Renton the main 

contributors. Eastern went in to the quarter-time huddle 

leading 3.5.23 - 2.2.14. 

The second quarter was a more even contest with North 

Ballarat playing a tighter game. Eastern had 

opportunities, however failed to capitalize on them. 

Kicking 1 goal 5 points for the quarter and were out 

scored by the Rebels who kicked 2 goals 6 points. 

Thanks to the efforts of Kris Nye, Matt Lobbe and Rory 

Sloane, Eastern still managed to hold a very slender 

leading going into the main break. Scores were- Eastern 

4.10.34- North Ballarat 4.8.32.

North Ballarat came out a more determined 

team in the third term. They had 6 more 

scoring shots for the quarter, scoring 4.5 to 

Eastern’s 1.2. Andrew Renton, Brad Jones 

and Shaun Dixon were all shining lights in 

an otherwise forgettable quarter. Three 

Quarter- times scores were- Eastern 5.12.42 to North 

Ballarat 8.13.61 

The last quarter was a more contested affair, with both 

teams having opportunities to score. Eastern kicked 5.1 

for the quarter while North Ballarat kicked 5.4. 

However the Rebels held on to run out victors. Brad 

Jones, Andrew Renton and Rory Sloane all made 

notable contributions. 

This week the team play Bendigo on Sunday 29th 

April, the venue has been changed to MC Labour Park, 

Carlton commencing at 11.30am. 

Final scores: North Ballarat 13.17.95 defeated Eastern 

Ranges 10.13.73 

Eastern Goals: Zomer 2, Renton, Sloane, Ward, 

Lobbe, Campbell, Debney, Jones. 

Eastern Best: Sloane, Dixon, Renton, Nye, Lobbe, 

Jones

In week one of the VFL season, the Glen Waverley Rovers FC 

were the TRUenergy/AFL Victoria Community Club of the 

week. 

2006 proved to be a spectacularly successful year for local junior 

football club, Glen Waverley Rovers, culminating in the club 

recently being awarded the highly prestigious 2006 City of 

Monash Sports Club of the Year. 

Club president, Warren Lester is proud of the club’s 

achievements, “Winning the Sports Club of the Year Award was 

totally unexpected but delivers the trifecta for 2006, where the 

performances of individuals, the U16 team and now the club 

have all been honoured. Not only did we win an U16 EFL 

Premiership, but our U16 coach, Frank Bugge, won the Oakleigh 

& Northern Region’s Youth Coach of the Year. However, this 

recognition from the City of Monash honours the whole club and 

provides external recognition to all the volunteers and players 

that contribute to make our club such an enjoyable experience.” 

Lester goes on to outline the characteristics of the club. “Rovers 

is a club where mates matter. Rovers is a values driven family 

club which has .engendered a strong sense of community, which 

in fact is our club’s strength and point of differentiation – despite 

the membership being drawn from 33 schools in the Monash 

JUNIOR REPORT 

ROVERS REAP THE AWARDS 

area. The club is about the players and their families. Boys (and 

girls!) can have confidence in joining Rovers. They have been 

able to enter an environment which encourages personal 

development and recognises children grow at different levels, 

and will naturally have different adaptation rates in terms of 

personal confidence, sports skills and athleticism. It is not a winat-all 

costs club, yet it has become a highly competitive club, 

punching well above its weight in the biggest and best junior 

football league in the country, the EFL.” 

Highlights during season 2006 were: 

• The introduction of a pre-season camp for our senior team 

(U16) and their families to honour and celebrate their time at 

the club. This has become an annual event and fully 

subsidised by the club; 

• The introduction of a ‘Buddy-System’, linking each U9 

player and new entrant to the club with an U16 player as a 

‘mentor’; 

• The introduction of Anzac Awards, honouring the Anzac 

spirit to individual players over the Anzac weekend; 

• An U16 premiership and the highly prestigious Regional 

Coach-of-the-Year award to our U16 Coach - in a 

competitive field of 353 teams from 65 clubs 

• The highly successful Family Day at the end of the season, 

involving approximately 500 people; and 

• The continuation of Sunday evening BBQs, souvlaki & roast 

nights during the season for members & friends. 

Lester continued, “The club has much to look forward to. Season 

2007 holds many promises with the club expected to grow 

membership numbers by at least 10%; fielding competitive teams 

in all age groups U9 – U16; forging stronger links with local 

senior club, Mulgrave, where Frank Bugge is now running their 

Colts program; and through a merger with Glen Waverley South 

Auskick, we now run the largest Auskick program in the area – 

all indications of a healthy community based junior sports club.”
