THIRDS
FOUNTAIN OF
YOUTH
Footy’s back! And what a wonderful feeling it is! Pent
up excitement, emotion and physicality from the
idle summer months were all expended on Saturday,
rendering many sore on Sunday and Monday I’m
sure! Unfortunately, there had to be winners and
losers, and I tipped 7 of them correctly!
Old Xavs came away with a comprehensive victory,
defeating old enemies Old Melburnians by 10 goals.
Spreading the load through the midfield and up
forward contributed to this victory, with Will Bull and
Sam Adams the prime movers. It was a great start to
their premiership defence. OMs found themselves
leaving too much to too few, with Amato trying
hard all day and dangerous goal sneak Petsinis only
managing the one major.
Over at Crawford Oval, an inaccurate De La managed
get up in a tight one against a determined Blues outfit.
Despite Jack Heinz and Nick Macrae’s best efforts, the
Blues were not good enough at home. Collegians
easily accounted for a disappointing Old Scotch,
holding them scoreless in the last quarter whilst
booting home seven majors. Werribee stamped
themselves on the competition as contenders, with
an emphatic victory over Old Trinity, using the wind
to their advantage by bursting out of the blocks with
a six goal first quarter to cruise to a 49 point victory.
Over in Premier B, Whitefriars defeated Oakleigh by
51 points, Stafford kicking 5, whilst Tommy Golik
played a loan hand up forward for the Krushers. Uni
Blacks broke the game open against Marcellin with a
5 goal to 1 third quarter, clinging onto the lead to win
by 20 points, Tom Oldfield best on ground booting
5 goals. In a typically wind-affected match down at
Brighton Beach Oval, St Bernard’s prevailed in a low
scoring encounter, to kick off their season in style.
Caulfield spanked Camberwell by 10 goals, with
Peter Mayes, Will Berry and James Cleeve the chief
destroyers. Down at TH King, arch rivals St Kevs and
Old Xavs went to battle. In a tight and physical affair,
Hugh Lyons’ 5 goals and Tristan Parker’s great efforts
helped Xavs prevail by 2 goals.
This Week, tips in bold, good luck to all involved.
