www.efl.org.au dIvISION 2 ClUB NOTeS BaYswater: A great start to 2012 with impressive wins at Doncaster last week. The Under 19's were far too strong, extending the lead at each break to run out comfortable winners by 164 points. The most pleasing thing was an even spread of performances with 14 goal scorers, led by Carlos with fivw and Leacy and Grubby with four each. Better players in a great team effort were Leacy, Carlos, Grubb, Iellamo, Malmborg and Kean. The Reserves also proved too strong, racing away in the second half to a commanding 79-point win. Several players are now putting up their hands for senior selection with Vanderlaak, Hall, Cook, Atkinson and Benny Stallion outstanding on the day. The Seniors certainly didn't have it all their own way with the first three quarters being an arm wrestle with the lead changing several times. A five-point lead at the first change plus four goals early in the second term was whittled away with six goals straight from the Sharks for them to lead by eight points at the half. Five goals each in the third set the stage for a tough last quarter. We slogged it out with another five goals to prevail in the end by 13 points. Five match winning goals to Bryce Galvin, with McInerney four, Burmeister and Winterton two each with singles to Bakker, Comb, Redzic, Hayhurst. Best: Burmeister, Murphy, McInerney, Winterton, Leach and B. Galvin. The Club would appreciate as much support today at the Presidents and H2O luncheon to cheer on a win over the powerful Montrose Club. Go Baysie. DonCaster: Not the way we wanted to kick the new season off with all three sides going down to Bayswater last week. Colts were out gunned in all areas. Best – Lepp, Leonard & Galluzzo. Reserves looked good in patches for the first 3 quarters but were disappointing in the last to lose comfortably. Best – Salamon, Letch & Tempany. Seniors were in a highly entertaining game with a fairly even first quarter before Bayswater kicked away early in the second. We clawed our way back into the game by half time. There was nothing in it in the second half, with Bayswater having just a bit more polish in the last as we went down by two goals. Best – Parker, McKenzie, Liebelt, Polak, Schimma & Muller. This week we are at Waverly Blues. Coterie numbers have passed the 90 mark – see Lad to sign up – a great value package. Ladies Night/Players review is next week at the Club Rooms – not many tickets left but we could do with a couple more acts - see Schimma. DonCaster east: Kicked off with the Under 19’s last week and happy to report they handled themselves well against Montrose winning comfortably. Thanks to Jason Hardwick and his team of helpers who made the game day run smoothly by all who assisted in doing their required tasks and taking the load of the committee. The Ressies had a few late scratchings, but with time and fitness on their side they will improve once they get to know one another. Best on the day, Ryan Gordon, Matt Carlson, Logga, Al Theo, Matt and Dan Vaiano. Seniors played well most of the day but there were a few players down on form. We looked like wrestling the game back early in the last quarter with two early goals from Tim Whitty but some bad turnovers and mistakes cost us dearly in the end, going down by five goals. Best –Tim Whitty, L.McLeod, J.Marshall, D.Mead and J.Lowther. Get to the Players Auction tonight, bring your friends, parents and partners and buy up big and help the Club. See you all around the traps today. Buy a membership of Josh Pratt who will be very happy to assist. If you want to have a scrumptious lunch come upstairs from 12.30, $30 per head, two-course 26 meal and drinks at bar prices. We would love to see you. Go Donny East! DonVaLe: Seniors – Last week we started our season at Upper Gully. At quarter time we were only a couple of points up. Ten minutes after the first change, Upper Gully had a four goal lead and we looked in for a long afternoon. However we managed to be within a kick at three quarter time. We kept putting the footy inside 50 for our forwards. We had our chances but couldn’t kick that last major. In all a creditable performance and basically turnovers cost us. Reserves – Got off to a flyer and seemed on the way to a sizeable lead at quarter time. We let our opposition in for a few goals and then got blown away in the second term. After the main break we held our own but never really looked like bridging the margin. Confident the twos will continue to improve. Colts – Upper Gully kicked four majors before we knew what happened. They had some real talent and we were outpointed. We did get back in the game in the third quarter but spent our pennies and fell short by 33 points. Today we welcome Mulgrave to Donvale. Always had close games and no doubt the same is on the cards. Also Ladies Luncheon today in Social Rooms from 2.00pm onwards. Don’t forget our next Home Game against Mooroolbark – Saturday 5th May. 1988-1992 reunion (5 Senior Flags & 3 Reserve Flags). Plenty of old faces returning to the Club for a Day/Night to remember. montrose: At last a game of football at Montrose and our faithful supporters turned out on a beautiful day to watch us play Doncaster East. The Colts started proceedings well and could have been in front at halftime. A costly lapse in the third quarter gave Donny East the ascendancy for the rest of the match. Colts best were Andy Condello, Jason Bennington, Nick Holloway and Nick Bark. The Development Team started slowly and was given a rev by Chad at the big break. This resulted in a more fluent game of football and a win by 100 points. Best players- Leam Doughty, Seb Colakidis, Gibby, Speedy Den Elzen and Heath Roberts. The senior game was an interesting struggle until half way through the last quarter. Montrose found an extra gear towards the end of the final quarter and went on to win by 38 points. Best players-Weathers, Cookie, Sammy, Barney and Andy Knee. Today we venture down to Bayswater Oval, the scene of many close and interesting clashes over the last few years. On the social front the clubrooms will open tonight with awards presented at 7pm. Note in your diaries our first band night is on Saturday May 5 at 8pm. ‘White Man Can’t Reggae’ will be supplying the music and the players and supporters are encouraged to dress according to the theme of the night. Memberships can be purchased from Graham Puddy or Kerrie Schilling... Become more than a supporter become a paid up MEMBER. GO DEES moorooLBarK: Judging by last week’s opening round results, Division 2 is going to be a fiercely contested competition in season 2012. The Mustangs hosted Waverley Blues at The Heights Reserve in balmy conditions. The Colts started proceedings and unfortunately went down to the Blues by three points after trailing by four goals at threequartertime. Robert Johns was our major goalkicker with three while better players were Hirvonen, Pike, Sutherland, Bishop, Watkins & Taylor. The Reserves were next but they also failed to get across the line, going down by 57 points. Best were Lee, Belli, D.Dimitriou, Bucsuhazy, Verhoef & A.Ahmet. A healthy crowd had built up by the time the Seniors ran out and there was an air of expectation among the DIVISION 2
dIvISION 2 ClUB NOTeS Mooroolbark faithful, knowing that the football department had enticed some quality recruits to the stable. After a good start by the Mustangs, the Blues fought back and held an 11-point lead at the major break. However a six-goal third term got things back on track and we eventually ran out 25-point victors. Kid Talevski top scored with four goals and Ben Mullett got three. New recruit, Luke Armstrong was voted BOG and he was ably supported by Martin, Smith, Polkinghorne, Georgiou and J.McManus. Well done to those who organised last week’s social function, the iPod Shuffle. It was a great success and was well attended so hopefully all our social functions will be well supported this season. Make sure you see John Gallagher or Steve Noonan for your $50 raffle ticket. This week we take on Donny East, which is always a hard task, so we’ll need to be at our best in all grades if we are to bring home the bacon. GO MUSTANGS!!! muLgraVe: Good luck to all our teams as we travel to Donvale today. Last week the season kicked off with a home game against local rivals Rowville. In perfect conditions we experienced three terrific games of football. The seniors let Rowville get out to a 42-point lead at three quarter time, but stormed home to go down by nine points. This vindicates our youth policy and shows that the solid preseason has our players at a high level of fitness. Best players were Matt Young, Tim Knowles, Al Cleven, and Ben Andonov. Congratulations to Tim Knowles, Alex Nichol and Alex Pagliaro for making their senior debuts. The reserves finished strongly to run out winners by 18 points, best players were Ben Newham, Paul Bartlett, Glen Hewitt and Matt Reid. The Under 19’s lead by up to five goals during the game, but Rowville ran us down to win by 19 points, best were Nathan Smith, Alex Small, Matt Hesketh, Jake Byrne and Julian Conte. Later this year we will see the installation of floodlights to the rear oval. This will enhance the usage of our great facility, thanks to the generosity of Monash Council and the State Government. To facilitate this installation we need to raise a portion of the funds ourselves, as part of the fundraising there is an auction night (Lighting Up the Dark) being held on May 12th at Kingston Links Golf Course, there are some sensational items for sale, see the website for more details. Tonight we have our club function is a “Night at the Races” tickets are only $15 per head at the door. Wear your racing outfits and be prepared for a great night. Last Sunday we hosted the Rovers Under 10s at our ground, and then on Sunday night they held their first after match function at our clubrooms, there were in excess of 300 in attendance, a feat not possible at Brentwood Reserve. This is evidence of the strong working relationship which has been built between the two clubs. Go Mully rowViLLe: It was nice to come away from Mulgrave with the four points. After a great third quarter, Mulgrave got a sniff and as we always expect from them came home strongly and we did well to hang on. Matt Stanley is an early contender for Mark of the Year with a great grab in the first quarter. Nathan Hicks kicked five and Michael Bussey four. Jake Ryall impressed in his first game with the Club and was well supported by Gav Willoughby and Matt Jackson. The undermanned Rserves squad had their chances in the last quarter but ran out of legs. After a slow start the Under 19’s showed some great form to get back into the game and record and 19-point win. Paul McEwin kicked five in a terrific performance with Jarryd Hall, Ben Kemick and Jamie Lipetri among the best players. Today we take on neighbors Upper Ferntree Gully for the Boococks Discount Meats – C.D. DIVISION 2 Automotive Trophy. We unveil the Reserves 2011 Premiership Flag and our first Presidents Lunch will feature Footscray Champion Doug Hawkins. Our next Home Game is against Doncaster on May 5 and our Special Guest at the Presidents Lunch will be former Australian Test Cricketer Rodney Hogg. Don’t forget our first Social Function for the year the Trivia Night on May 12 in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Rowville – Lysterfield with funds going toward the purchase of a deliberator for Club.
