PROMOTION 

AND 

PREMIERSHIPS 

Contrasting conditions greeted the players on 

the weekend. Saturday was cold and windy with 

cross breezes at the north-south venues used in 

the VAFA finals. But Sunday was a calm, sunny 

afternoon allowing players to display their skills in 

front of large crowds. 

Congratulations to Uni Blacks, Parkdale Vultures, 

Peninsula, Prahran Assumption, Ivanhoe and 

Swinburne University who have gained promotion 

to Premier, Premier B and C and Division 1, 2 and 

3 respectively. 

Peninsula entered the VAFA in 1980 in the old 

F Grade and has generally oscillated between 

Division 1 and 2. The win on Saturday got them 

into Premier C for the first time. They have played 

in 6 grand finals and, whilst they have gained 

promotion, have never raised the premiership 

cup. Their match against NOB / St Pats promises 

to be a close encounter after a slender two points 

separated them in the second semi and each had 

one win apiece in the home and away season. 

Parkdale Vultures has shown a resurgence since 

Sam Radford has taken over the reigns as coach. 

Brilliant winners in Division 2 last year and 

convincing winners of last Saturday’s second 

semi, they have made the double jump and will 

compete in Premier B for the first time. Prahran 

Assumption has similarly completed a double 

promotion after being unbeaten last year. Two 

successful amalgamations. 

Premier Section welcomes back University Blacks 

after a brief appearance in 2008. From all reports 

they are much stronger than their previous 

venture and will be looking to make a huge 

impact next season. However we know the jump 

to the highest section is the biggest hurdle and 

in my opinion the standard and depth of clubs 

in Premier will be at an all time high. Expect 

continued improvement from Carey and St Bedes 

Mentone Tigers, St Bernard’s and Uni Blues will not 

be satisfied with their positions on the ladder from 

this year. 

On Saturday at Sportscover Arena Beaumaris and 

St Kevin’s will compete for the right join the Blacks 

in Premier Section. St Kevin’s haven’t won a final 

since 2004 and Beaumaris have never played in a 

Premier B preliminary Final since they entered the 

VAFA in 1995. If successful they will be the first 

stand alone district club to play in Premier since 

Ormond were relegated in 1996. 

Collegians proved they are the team to beat in 

Premier with a come from behind victory against 

Old Xaverians. After an initial burst of four goals 

by Xavs, Collegians outplayed their opponents 

to eventually run out 38 point victors. Eleven 

goals to three after half time is evidence of their 

superiority. 

De La always held the upper hand against Old 

Scotch and eventually ran out 20 point winners 

to gain the right to play Old Xaverians in the 

Preliminary Final. These two sides have played 

some tense matches in front of huge crowds in 

recent years. Whilst the form guide may read 

better for De La, the side coming off the second 

semi loss tends to have the better record. We will 

wait and see on Sunday. 

The two final promotion matches are in Premier 

C between Fitzroy and Mazenod and Division 3 

between Yarra Valley and UHS-VU. Fitzroy made 

remarkable progress about 5 years ago and if 

successful will progress to Premier B for the first 

time. The loss to Ivanhoe was only Yarra Valley’s 

second for the year and they will go in as strong 

favourites to return to Division 2. 

There are some clubs with real momentum and 

others reaching their highest sections. Two sides 

being promoted and relegated really allows 

clubs who have this impetus to progress through 

the sections quickly with their current crop of 

players. However those players cannot shoulder 

the responsibility forever and new players need to 

be added to ensure a club survives in the upper 

echelons of the VAFA.

AND THEN 

THERE WERE 

THREE 

Temptation to jump on board the team that 

wins the cut throat semi final and abandon the 

vanquished from the second semi final is strong 

no matter what level of football you play. De 

La Salle looked very good accounting for Old 

Scotch and Old Xaverians didn’t look so good 

as Collegians kicked away in the last quarter. 

The problem is the statistics alone tell us that 

we should never write off the second semi final 

loser and more so when that team wears red and 

black. I copped a bit of criticism on twitter last 

weekend when I tweeted that Old Xavs can’t kick 

a score. The insinuation was that I had written 

off Old Xavs this year. That was far from the truth, 

what is the truth though it that Old Xaverians 

have failed to kick more than 10 goals in their 

past five matches. The game against Caulfield 

in the bog was never going to be a goal fest but 

after kicking four goals in the opening quarter 

last Saturday, Old Xavs kicked only five more for 

the game. 

What an opening burst it was too. Old Xaverians 

came out firing and piled on 4.4 to lead 28 to zero 

inside 20 minutes of the first quarter. Collegians 

couldn’t get their hands on the ball and players 

with normally sure hands were fumbling under 

first, the real pressure and then, the implied 

pressure that Xavs had created. 

John Shaw, Matt Ball, Ryan Colbert, and Michael 

Darvell were winning the centre clearances, 

and the pressure was applied by the Xaverians 

forwards to lock the ball in and create scoring 

chances. Unfortunately they only managed 4.4 

in this period of dominance and everyone knew 

Collegians were never going to go away. 

At half time there margin had reduced had been 

cut to 11 points and we were set for a frenetic 

second half. This is when Collegians made their 

move. Kicking six goals to three to assume a 

seven point break with a quarter to play. Old 

Xavs needed something, but nothing came. Nick 

Sautner back from a broken leg was getting on 

the end of everything, Nick Ries continued his 

prolific season with another three goals and 

double that in score involvements, and Shura 

Taft converted twice more for Collegians to take 

the margin to 38 points at the final siren. Xavs 

were held to just a behind in the final term as 

they were restricted greatly by the Lions running 

backmen of Tardiff, Hylton and Kamenar. 

De La Salle and Old Scotch looked like being a 

classic, down to the wire encounter until De La 

kicked clear in the final quarter. The margin got 

out to 38 points before three late goals to Old 

Scotch brought it back to rest at 20 points as the 

siren sounded on the Cardinals’ season. It was 

what the least they deserved as Old Scotch were 

more than a handful all afternoon but the small 

break that De La Salle established in the second 

quarter after Old Scotch missed chances in the 

first term was never really able to be bridged. 

De La Salle believed they had their best side on 

the park for almost a year. There were 10 changes 

from the last time these sides met when Old 

Scotch humbled the La Sallians at Camberwell a 

few weeks back. Most of those changes were in 

the better performers on the day as De La Salle’s 

disposal wasn’t always perfect, but found targers 

at critical times allowing them to first alleviate 

pressure then build an attack, with Brett Eddy, 

Sam Pickett and Nic Roberts on the end of many 

moves. 

Old Scotch fought to be within 11 points at three 

quarter time and the first goal of the final term 

would be crucial. They got that goal through and 

length of the field transition with the ball ending

up in the arms of Hamish Dick who reduced the 

margin to a goal. But that would be as close as 

they got. The sides traded a goal each but the 

margin was still eight points. A burst of points 

was followed by a series of goals for De La Salle 

as they piled on five goals in a row to blow the 

margin out to 38 points. Old Scotch kicked three 

late goals to get it back to 19 points but time 

was their enemy. The final margin finished at 

20 points and Old Scotch’s season ended with 

plenty to look forward to next year. 

Old Xaverians v De La Salle 

There is something about a Preliminary Final that 

conjures more in the imagination than a grand 

final. We see it in the lower sections of amateur 

football for the reward is two-fold (promotion 

and a Grand Final), but in Premier its all about 

getting a crack at the top prize in the game. 

Old Xaverians are on a three game losing streak 

and you would be a brave person to tip them to 

lose a fourth game in a row. De La Salle returned 

their up and down season, to the heights of 

a great team performance and win last week, 

whether they can hold that performance another 

week will be the question. Their formline is an 

unpredictable WLWLWLW. 

Three weeks ago they outplayed Old Xaverians 

at the Dairy Bell with pace and panache kicking 

goal after goal in the first quarter. They will need 

a performance like that again if they are to win 

a ticket to the big dance next week. All week 

people have been telling me not to write off Old 

Xavs in September, of course there is a reluctance 

to do so, but we need to assess the form of both 

sides. 

Statistics show us that the wounded second 

semi final loser is often able to get up for the 

Preliminary Final. However the feeling amongst 

onlookers is that this week is De La Salle’s to 

lose, they have the cattle and the form to defeat 

Old Xaverians and quite possibly to challenge 

Collegians the following week too. However I 

keep getting sucked back to the vortex of never 

writing off Old Xaverians…. What to do? Back to 

statistics is the only solution, for that reason Old 

Xaverians will win on Sunday by 7 points in a low 

scoring game.

PREMIER B 

Last weekend’s semi finals were about 

as contrasting in nature as the weather. 

Saturday’s ominous black clouds dumped a 

brutal and systematic pounding over Box Hill 

City Oval while the warm, still conditions on 

Sunday at Trevor Barker Oval were close and 

quite breathless really. The haters might bag 

Melbourne’s unpredictable climate, but at this 

magical time of year it heralds what we love the 

most. Footy in Spring. Last month’s skinny trees 

have thickened with blossom, there’s the buzz 

of lawnmowers (pushed by blokes who missed 

the finals), the trains are chockers with tribal 

scarves and kids with showbag pride. Green 

Moon’s running in the fourth at the Valley, 

there’s a sizzle down at Bunnings and a line of 

cars snaking into Sportscover Arena. It’s the 

weekend, in September, in Melbourne. Where 

would you rather be? 

OLD MELBURNIANS bow out of the finals race 

after Sunday’s fighting loss to Beaumaris. 

Coach Nathan Brown would be gladdened by 

their vastly improved output over the year with 

players growing in strength and confidence. 

Healthy signs for season 2013. 

SECOND SEMI 

Di Langton 

THROUGH TEMPEST AND CALM, 

FINALS ARE HERE 

The Box Hill deck is considered one of the best 

around town, but conditions were tough and 

certainly foreboding for St Kevins. The game 

went according to Uni Blacks’ script; their 

bigger bodies and power through the rucks 

and scrimmages forced the footy forward, 

better equipped as they were for the blustery 

wind and heavy bursts of rain. Willingham 

in particular put the ball out into space and 

followed through in a performance that would 

have won him the G T Moore had he shown 

up in round 18. Ahh, coulda-shoulda-woulda! 

SKOB fought hard regardless but poor ball use 

added undue pressure, giving their forwards 

little hope. The backmen were their better 

contributors, Keely a standout and Brick doing 

a job on B&F winner Richardson. Sam Bishop 

kicked their solitary goal in the second term but 

they never looked like getting a run on. Batten 

and Delahunty were impressive for Blacks, 

along with waves of impetus provided by 

Mahon, Weekley and Lahy. Foster (3) presented 

well but I daresay there was some cue-inrackage; 

the eventual eleven-goal margin a 

moot point with no need for either side to risk 

injury when the result was beyond doubt. 

FIRST SEMI 

In the streaming sunshine and still conditions, 

a number of crucial Shark inclusions ran out 

onto TBO to take on Old Melburnians in a 

thrilling game of end to end footy. Callan 

Buckley probably shared best afield honours 

with the evergreen Desi Haynes, while Rob 

Cathcart’s grunt work and electric final term 

were pivotal. The first half was tense and 

pressure-packed; but once the jitters subsided 

conditions were perfect for a fabulous display 

of skill and strength. OMs nudged a slight first 

term advantage, breaking the arm wrestle in 

the second with a goal to Marangon from a free 

and 25m penalty. Paule intercepted a handball 

and slotted another before the main break 

and OMs looked solid going into the sheds 

13 points up. Tom Hywood (3) was throwing 

himself into every marking contest and Ted 



Beaumaris v St Kevins 

4 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

de Fegely had a day out. But the lead was not 

enough, the quieter Beauy forwards roared 

out of the blocks with a pair of majors each to 

Murton, Gower and McBain. Game on, but OMs 

answered via Bennett (3) powering out of the 

goal square like a locomotive. Two points split 

them at the final turn, the huge three-quarter 

time huddles deafening as they urged their 

lads on. Petering snapped the first and Hywood 

responded quickly. The willingness on field was 

palpable; Petering kicked another, then a snap 

from Cathcart. Beck got one back but Cathcart 

slotted his second to effectively seal the game, 

Beauy into the preliminary final with a 21-point 

win on the day of the club’s 50 th anniversary. 


Selection Table Stress is a recognised malaise at 

this time of year. Sometimes a luxury, but often 

heartbreaking. With the three teams remaining 

involved in both Senior and Reserve finals, the 

depth of all will be tested, and the Selectors’ 

nous examined. All that aside, there will be 

players that ‘take one for the team’ and to them 

we say bad luck, chin up and enjoy the ride as 

best you can. You may get another chance next 

week. 

Beaumaris would have to be the in-form 

favourites for promotion and the right to 

square off for the silverware, but St Kevins pose 

an unknowable threat with high-calibre players 

desperate to return. They are one-all this 

season: SKOB in a one point thriller in round six, 

the Sharks winning the return bout in round 12 

by three goals. I’m tipping Beaumaris but closer 

than most expect. Ignore the result at Box Hill, 

it’ll be a different St Kevins side this week. But 

frankly, I’m going with the Sharks because I’ve 

witnessed first hand on a couple occasions: 

they know how to win finals.

PARKDALE EARNS PROMOTION; 

EAGLES BOW OUT 

Rarely are the highs and lows of football more 

evident than when September rolls around. 

No matter how confident all four teams are of 

raising the cup, one always has to go home after 

the first week. On the other hand, another team 

gains promotion and a week off to recuperate 

before the grand final. 

In a wet and blustery day on Saturday at Trevor 

Barker Oval, it was the Roys who continued 

their great form from the previous week, to 

hold a nine-point advantage over the Vultures 

at quarter time. But from there, it was all oneway 

traffic, with Parkdale kicking 8.5 to zip in 

the second quarter, to turn a slight deficit into 

an almost unassailable lead in thirty minutes. 

It’s that kind of precision that not only confirms 

why this team finished on top of the ladder 

after the home and away rounds, but also 

gives leaves their shell-shocked opposition 

wondering what they can do to stop the 

onslaught. It did slow down in the third 

quarter, but the scoreboard was still ticking in 

the wrong direction for those who were hoping 

for a comeback, or even a tight contest. Lachlan 

Oakley, in only his third game for the season, 

reminded everyone why he is such a dangerous 

player at this level. The Roys simply didn’t have 

an answer for him, or Matt Boland, who both 

kicked six goals. At the other end, the Fitzroy 

forwards were starved for opportunities, going 

goalless again in the third quarter. 

The Parkdale machine continued unabated in 

the final stanza, the class of players like David 

Robbins and Mark Kidner was evident, as they 

continued to build on the lead .The Roys live to 

fight another day and while the performance of 

players like Josh Vansittart, James O’Reilly and 

Rory Angiolella is hard to question, they’ve now 

seen the level that they need to get to, firstly to 

get another crack at Parkdale; and secondly, if 

they want to win the flag. 

The Roy Boys would have been very interested 

observers in the proceedings at Box Hill. 

Marcellin and Mazenods had different journeys 

to reach the first semi final; with the Nodders 

making their first appearance in the top four 

on the eve of the finals, while the Eagles were 

permanent residents after round 4. A difficult 

game to pick a winner between two very 

evenly-matched sides, something the final 

margin indicated. 

Marcellin got off to the better start, earning a 

seven point advantage by the quarter time 

break. They were able to improve on this in the 

second quarter, with Joel Crimmins, in seasonbest 

form, leading the assault. He was joined 

by the recently-crowned Zachariah Medallist, 

Jarrod Carlson, who was in everything. At the 

other end, Tim Bourbon was dominating for 

Mazenod and Stuart Inglis’ best game of the 

season was coming at the right time. Inaccuracy 

cost the Nodders, with only one goal from 

seven scoring shots in the second term to hand 

the Eagles a 14-point lead at the main break. 

With the match still very much in the balance, 

Adrian Connolly urged his troops on and they 

responded in the premiership quarter, winning 

their share of the contests and, importantly, 

converting their chances. The lead was theirs, 

as they headed into the huddles with the 

momentum on their side. The final quarter 

was a classic struggle, everything finals footy 



Fitzroy v Mazenod 


SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - Get back in the game

epresents. With Marcellin making a final 

charge, it was a desperate Nodders defence, 

led by Byron Bonner, that managed to hold 

tight and keep the score in their favour, when 

the siren sounded, signalling the end of 

Marcellin’s premiership dream. Jake Symes, 

Matty Gasparini, Ash Viney and Peter Augustin 

were their standouts, though the Eagles failed 

to find a multiple goalkicker on the day. 

Last week’s results leave us with Fitzroy and 

Mazenod fighting for survival, in what should 

be another epic at Sandingham. They haven’t 

met in over two months, with the Nodders 

handing out a nine-goal belting on that 

occasion, reversing the result from earlier in 

the year. Recent form is all with Mazenod, 

having knocked off two of the top three sides 

in the past two weeks, while the Roys have the 

advantage of having the extra day to prepare, 

along with the experience they gained from 

playing at Sandy last week. After a horror final 

three quarters last Saturday, it will be interesting 

to see if the Roys’ forward line can get back on 

track, or whether the Nodders will be able to 

keep the clamps on. With my exposed form on 

the tips suggesting that both teams would be 

keen for me to pick the other, my apologies to 

Fitzroy. I think they will bounce back with a win 

and book their spot in Premier B for next year.

MUSASHI VAFA TV STRONGEST MAN ANNOUNCED 

On Monday night three gentle giants of the 

amateur game descended on Musashi’s state 

of the art gym in Notting Hill to record the 

final of VAFA TV’s Strongest Man competition. 

Will Oakley from Old Geelong was a late 

call up after a promising lift earlier in the 

season was restricted to 110kg due to the 

lack of weights at Old Geelong’s Como Park. 

Mitch Dupljanin from Eley Park Sharks was 

the club house leader for a while with a 

qualifying lift of 130kg and was fired up for a 

big performance after he had recovered from 

injured ribs. Stefan Davis from Mazenod was 

the last qualifier and set a target of 150kg with 

his powerful lift. Before the final the players 

were taken on a tour of the high performance 

gym including a look at the Bod-Pod and the 

High Altitude room. The final was contested 

in an athletics field event format with each 

competitor allowed three attempts to do 

three reps of a weight they thought would 

win it. Scissor paper rock decided the order of 

the competition. To see the completion head 

to vafa.com.au and in the News and Media

Three generations of Uni Blacks were on hand 

to get together for this picture taken after they 

celebrated their second semi final win over St 

Kevins an a return to Premier Section. Pictured 

are the University Black’s current captain Dan 

Costello with his Uncle Simon ‘Harry’ Costello 

and Dan’s grandfather Dr Brian Costello. The 

photographer was Dan’s father, Professor 

Anthony Costello who played with Simone in 

the 1974 A Grade premiership. Of course Brian 

was club doctor at the Blacks for 40 years as 

well as being the Big V’s representative doctor 

over almost the same period. It was great to 

see the Costello’s celebrating the triumphant 

Blacks’ return to the top section and in 

particular to see Brian who is a life member 

of the VAFA and is still passionate about the 

University Blacks enjoying the day.

DIVISION 1 

Darren Dawson 

A CLASH OF TWO TITANS 

In what seems like the blink of an eye, we have 

arrived at the season’s denouement. Was it 

really six months ago that the 10 Division 1 clubs 

were winding up their pre-season programs, 

full of hope for the year which lay ahead? The 

season has whisked past us so quickly. 

Preliminary Final review: Last week’s 

penultimate game of the season turned into 

a disappointingly one-sided affair from the 

outset. Peninsula’s defence was at its meanest, 

denying Old Geelong’s powerful forward line 

any latitude, whilst its midfield was on top of 

the Hoops’ throughout the contest. Despite 

triumphing in their two previous meetings, 

it appeared as if the Oggers had played their 

grand final in the thrilling over-time win over 

the Friars, and subsequently had nothing left in 

the tank. In the blustery conditions at Central 

Reserve, OGs just could not get into the game, 

despite the tireless efforts of midfielder Mick 

Rockefeller. Had the Pirates kicked straighter, 

their win would have been much greater. Coach 

Frank Dunnell and his charges would have been 

left lamenting that Old Geelong had come so 

far only to cop an 8-goal belting, but the OGs 

have made giant strides this season, and will 

now enter 2013 as one of the legitimate Div 1 

flag contenders. 

boast depth right down to the 22 nd player 

on the interchange bench. This grand final 

promises to be a corker. 

2012’s three previous meetings between 

the competition’s titans provide interesting 

reading. The results have produced results 

which have fluctuated wildly, and do not offer 

any pointers to today’s contest: 

Round 2: Peninsula 22.17.149 d NOB-SP 

8.13.61. This was NOBs’ only loss for the season, 

but what a loss it was! Pirates forwards Payze (6 

goals), Coghlan (3), and Grigg (3) all managed 

to get off the leash in this romp at Mt Eliza. Two 

paltry first-half goals ensured NOBs day was 

done at half-time, whilst Peninsula stamped 

themselves as the real deal. NOBSP coach Dick 

Peoples quickly consigned this game to the 

dustbin and moved on and his team have not 

lost since. 

Round 11: NOB-SP 9.11.65 d Peninsula 3.7.25. 

NOBs gained revenge for their round 2 loss with 

a convincing win at their boggy Gillon Oval 

fortress. The Pirates were surprisingly impotent 

in attack, managing only three majors for the 

match. Again, the pattern of the game was set 

in the first half, with NOBs nullifying any Pirates 

scoring opportunities. 

Today: And now here we are, with the two 

stand-out teams of the season, both deservedly 

promoted to Premier C, primed to do battle 

in the decider which most of us have long 

expected to take place. Both North Old Boys 

– St Patrick’s and Peninsula Old Boys have an 

excellent blend of experience and youth, and 

Second semi: NOBSP 8.17.65 d Peninsula 

8.15.63. NOBs earned the shorter route into the 


GRAND FINAL 

NOBs / St Pat’s v Peninsula 


SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - Get OPEN back 1-7 in SATURDAY the game

finale with a tough come-from-behind victory 

in which they booted the last three goals of a 

tight contest. It was a typical final: not a pretty 

contest, but tough and uncompromising. Both 

teams had heaps of opportunities to steal a 

break, but neither could produce any efficiency 

in front of goal until NOBSP finally capitalised 

on a few late chances. 

Grand final: Thus, the stage is now set for a 

titanic clash at Trevor Barker Oval. And it could 

well be across the NOBs half-forward line that 

the match is won or lost. It will be vital for the 

Pirates’ chances that their defenders keep NOBs 

forwards Matt Firman, Todd Patterson, Scott 

Sleep and Matt Keown (the comp best and 

fairest) under control. Nothing separates the 

ruck divisions, led by Peter Shepherd (NOBs) 

and Brett Brisbane (Pen) respectively, although 

the former was crucial in the latter stages of 

the semi. Likewise, the midfields are evenly 

matched, and both run deep. Stefan Barbour is 

a gun, and looms as a real key for the Pirates if 

he can cap off an outstanding season, whilst for 

NOBs, sweeping defender Adam Oakley sets up 

many forward thrusts with his pinpoint kicking. 

Both teams are well-balanced, and are guided 

by well-prepared coaching units. 

Prediction: Amazingly, your scribe has 

correctly predicted the result of the three 

finals to date. This grand final has warranted 

much more deliberate contemplation than the 

two previous weeks, and I admit to have been 

swinging back and forth like a pendulum. But I 

have settled on the refreshed North Old Boys 

– St Patricks, just, in a clash which promis es 

everything.

DIVISION 2 

Rich Hummerston 

FROM OPPOSITE ENDS 

OF THE SPECTRUM 

Separated by an entire division, the 2011 

seasons of Bulleen Templestowe and Prahran 

Assumption couldn’t have been further apart. 

In Division 1, a 50-point thrashing from 

Williamstown CYMS would draw a close to 

Bulleen Templestowe’s worst season in the 

club’s illustrious history. A solitary win against 

Old Mentonians standing out among a sea of 

100-point thrashings and scoreless quarters. 

The very real prospect of Bulleen Templestowe 

completing the maligned “Double Drop” in 

2012 seemed all but inevitable. 

Meanwhile, down in Division 3, a formidable 

alliance formed in a dusty boardroom the 

previous year had paid immediate dividends. 

The amalgam of Prahran Football Club and 

Assumption College completing a rare flawless 

season, capped off with the 2012 division 3 

premiership flag. 

In 2012, the clubs would meet in round 1, one 

club mounting a realistic challenge to play 

Division 1 football while the other on the brink 

of absolute catastrophe. 

Despite an entire division separating the two 

the previous year, little hope was given to 

the former Division 1 inhabitants, almost all 

(this scribe included) predicting a Prahran- 

Assumption Win. 

What ensued was anything but predictable; 

Bulleen Templestowe, seemingly in a 

declaration of their disgust from the previous 

season, annihilated the Two-Blues by 92 points, 

putting the competition on notice in the 

process. 

While Prahran-Assumption would recuperate 

from their round 1 and subsequent round 

2 losses to (the now relegated) Emmaus St 

Leo’s, their perceived pre-season hype and 

dominance had been diluted, their early season 

form a mere shadow of their 2011 brilliance. 

In contrast to Prahran-Assumption’s brutal 

Division 2 hazing, the Bullants had a fairytale 

start, a loss to Old Paradians the only blemish in 

the first 9 rounds of the season. The perceived 

inevitability of a “double drop” replaced with a 

far more positive notion, colloquially known as 

the “yo-yo” in VAFA circles. Bulleen Templestowe 

seemed destined to rejoin their Division 1 

counterparts after a brief hiatus. 

And as it so often does, the season flashed 

before our very eyes, Bulleen rounding out the 

regular season in the same fashion it started, 

a 91-point victory over La Trobe University, a 

pleasant yet unexpected turnaround from just 

a meagre 12 months ago. 

A shock loss to South Melbourne, and a pair of 

defeats at the hands of Old Paradians the only 

blights on an otherwise extremely successful 

season. Bulleen’s Semi Final against Eltham 

would be a mere formality, on paper, on history 

and on form, victory was assured for the men 

in yellow and blue. A comfortable 59-point 

victory the outcome. 

On the other end of the spectrum, Prahran- 

Assumption’s gruelling finals campaign has 

been anything but a formality, forced to come 

from behind in both matches to snatch victory 


GRAND FINAL 

Bulleen Templestowe v Prahran Assumption 


SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran

from the jaws of defeat. Unfamiliar to the 

current playing group the two bouts will have 

undoubtedly taken there toll, both mentally, 

and physically. 

Encumbered with success is expectation, an 

assertion typified with the VAFA’s relegation/ 

promotion system. This Saturday two teams 

meet, one club entered the competition on 

the back of its most successful year since 

it’s inception in 1886 while the other joined 

Division 2 after it’s worst. 

Yet despite the two incredibly differing 

previous seasons, both presumably with 

contrasting expectations for season 2012, 

Bulleen Templestowe and Prahran Assumption 

have earned their spot in the last game of the 

season and earned their spot in Division 1 in 

2013. 

Bulleen Templestowe VS Prahran 

Assumption 

The ledger stands at 2-0 in Bulleen’s favour, a 

record that rightfully should tick over to 3-0 at 

5:00 PM on Sunday. 

While Prahran get a few ticks in their column, 

namely Bulleen’s fragile defence and Adam 

Sleight’s size 14 boots, they simply don’t have 

the arsenal to account for Bulleen’s midfield 

and forward line. 

Prahran-Assumption have undisputedly the 

second best midfield in the competition, 

Musster and Parsons on their day, are 

unstoppable. However unfortunately for the 

Two-Blues, Bulleen-Templestowe have the best 

midfield. Paul Florance has been in incredible 

form over the past 6 weeks and has the ability 

to turn a game in his favour unassisted. Stick 

Cherbakof in there and it’s a David versus 

Goliath battle. 

Bulleen by 36 points. 

That’s all folks, enjoy the 6 weeks off before the 

hill sprints, time trials and push-ups resume 

and we do this all again. Any Pre-Season

DIVISION 3 

Nick Wynne 

BEFORE TODAY 

It’s fair to say that the quote “finals footy brings 

out the best in football teams” is an overstated 

one. So I’ll change it up a bit. I can only liken the 

brilliance that has been served up so far in the 

Division three finals campaign to a delicious 

lamb cutlet, served with a side of minted 

potato salad and a glass of heavily malolactic 

fermented red. Easily the best game was played 

between Uni High and Aquinas. It came down to 

the final kick of the day. No matter the amount of 

rubbish I write in my column this week, nothing 

will come close to describing exactly what went 

down. 

Regrettably time has come to send Aquinas 

on their way, while Yarra Valley would want 

to be careful, a repeat of last seasons finals 

performance may just tip a few over the edge. 

I feel the Bushrangers can take solace in the 

words (Aerial Pink) Rosenberg blurted, in his 

1999 classic ‘Round and Round’ “I’m afraid, you’re 

afraid. And we die and we live and we’re born 

again, turn me inside out”. What can I say? 

And so under bright-lit blue skies Uni High and 

Aquinas competed in one of the better games of 

the season. I’m sure no one would have predicted 

the game to come down to the final kick of the 

day, but as so often happens in finals neither 

team could land a fatal blow until the very end. 

Aquinas’ John Jess lined up. The kick had a lot 

riding on it. One team was to go through to a 

preliminary final and the other to ‘Mad Monday’. 

This isn’t life and death, but sometimes, in games 

like this it sure feels like it. Unfortunately for the 

Bloods JJ hooked it to the left, leading to jubilant 

scenes from the Uni team. 

Ironically it had been a day that had started 

so accurately for Aquinas. They flew out of the 

blocks kicking eight goals straight in the first 

quarter, while Uni could only manage 4.4 from 

their eight scoring shots. It was more of the same 

in the second, Uni wasting opportunities, while 

Aquinas kicked truly. The game was well into the 

second half before Uni began to peg back the 

substantial difference that the Bloods had put 

between them and they managed to get within 

a kick at the final change. 

The last quarter was a finals classic. Both sides 

had a chance to sink the other, but couldn’t get 

the job done. The lead changed several times 

and when Jack Price kicked his third it looked 

as though the Bloods would hang on. But a few 

behinds from Uni pinned the lead back their 

way. Thus, a final kick was taken and the rest, 

history. 

I should’ve known by now that Uni High would 

be on my list. The pundits had been spruiking 

them for a while, “let me show you, how much I 

care”, they said. I hope they’re not too offended 

by my Port Adelaide circa 2001 comments last 

week. 

In the other game Ivanhoe re-wrote the script 

with an amazing final quarter. Yarra Valley have 

been the flag favourites from about round four, 

but on Saturday, their seemingly untouchable 

status took a hammering. It was pretty stock 

standard Yarra Valley up to three quarter time. 

They lead at the half by 23-points and held 

Ivanhoe to a four goal to two third quarter 

despite Ivanhoe kicking with a three to four goal 

breeze. 



Yarra Valley v UHS-VU 



The Bushies looked for all money to be sailing 

to a grand final and a promotion to Division 2. 

But the Ivanhoe boys had other plans. Kicking 

into that disadvantageous breeze in the last 

the Hoers rallied, but with only ten minutes to 

play they were still two goals down. Brandon 

Flowers once sung, “when your chips are down, 

when your highs are low, joy ride”. Whether the 

Ivanhoe boys have heard that tune or not, joy 

ride they did, they managed to use these words 

to overcome the giant that is Yarra Valley. Two 

quick goals saw Ivanhoe draw level and then 

another saw them take the lead when the last 

whistle blew. It really was amazing stuff. 

With usual suspects Close, Harris and Harty 

firing, Ivanhoe will be very hard to beat in two 

weeks time. 

This week: What can I say? I can’t see Yarra Valley 

getting beaten, even though UHS-VU has been 

so impressive through this finals series.

DIVISION 4 

Josh Gabelich 

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNER 

After eighteen home and away rounds, three 

finals and a total of 93 matches, we have finally 

reached the two hours that matter most. We 

know what many of us thought all year South 

Mornington and Swinburne Uni were by far the 

best two sides in Division Four. Regardless of 

what happens on Saturday, they will both be 

promoted into Division 3 in 2013 come the final 

siren. These two sides have already battled on 

three separate occasions in 2012 with the most 

recent only being two weeks ago in the first 

semi final where the Tigers got the job done 

by only six points. For the majority of the year, 

South Mornington has been the front runners. 

Seemingly unbeatable after winning the first 

twelve games of the season. Yet after two 

losses in the final six games, the boys in yellow 

and black from down the Peninsula looked a 

little bit fragile. Whilst they have seemingly 

reclaimed their ascendancy after their win in 

the semi final, the Tigers form is not quite as 

devastating as it was earlier this season. 

As for their grand final opponents Swinburne 

University, the Razorbacks have appeared to 

gather momentum as the season progressed. 

Not simply by the number of victories they 

accumulated but rather by the manner in 

which they chalked up their wins in the second 

half of the year. 

In Saturday’s preliminary final, the students 

ran over the top of Eley Park in the second 

half to book their place in the grand final. The 

Razorbacks led by only two goals at half time 

before kicking away in the premiership quarter. 

Seven goals to just two behinds was enough 

to do the damage. Another five to one in the 

final stanza was simply the icing on the cake 

as the Sharks simply had no more to give in a 

disappointing display. 

The 86 point belting doesn’t do the Sharks 

justice for the sort of season they have 

had. In fact, they have transformed from 

an inconsistent side capable of producing 

moments of brilliance into a consistent four 

quarter team that can match it with anyone. 

Unfortunately it just wasn’t their day and I’m 

sure they will return next season and be a 

massive premiership contender. 

South Mornington and Swinburne University 

have met three times this season. In round nine, 

the final round of the home and away season 

and in the first semi final. The Tigers hold the 

edge over the Razorbacks with two victories 

to one. In their first meeting back in June, the 

unbeaten Tigers knocked off the students in 

a comfortable fashion by 44 points down at 

Citation Oval. It was a different story in round 

eighteen but only by the smallest of margins. 

By the end of the home and away season, the 

Tigers form had begun to waver and they were 

caught out at St James Park. After leading by 

as much as five goals in the opening term, the 

Tigers were left to lick their wounds on the way 

back down the coast. 

In the semi final, only a week after their final 

round showdown, South Mornington got the 

better of their rivals in a tight tussle at Scammell 

Reserve. Inaccurate goal kicking almost hurt 

the yellow and black on that day but they were 

good enough to get over the line by a kick to 

advance straight to the grand final and earn the 

week off. 


GRAND FINAL 

South Mornington v Swinburne University

CLUB WAREHOUSE 

RISING STAR 2012 

WINNER OF CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 

Lachlan Ferguson (Collegians) 

Nominated in Round 17, Lachlan had been 

putting together a brilliant season to that point 

and could have been nominated any number of 

weeks prior. 

In 2012 he played 14 games in 2012 and has 

averaged more than a goal a game this year in 

the top team in Premier section, being named in 

the best players multiple times. 

Lachlan is a product of Wesley College and was 

a standout player in their 2010 APS premiership 

side. Throughout 2010 he was given a number 

of opportunities at Collegians when school 

commitments allowed and played some very 

good football in the senior side. In fact he was 

very close to being selected in the 2010 A Grade 

Grand Final side. 

In 2011 he carried on his good work and despite 

a hip problem became a very dangerous half 

forward capable of winning a game off his own 

boot. He played in the 2011 Premiership side and 

was one of the best on ground with three great 

goals. 

A hip operation over summer saw a delayed start 

to the season, but early form warranted Senior 

Big V selection for the game against AFL NSW 

where he won the coveted spirit of the Big V 

award. He followed that up with selection in the 

Vic Under 23 side and but for injury would have 

been selected in the Vic Under 19 side. 

He is on track to play an integral part in 

Collegians 2012 defence of the Premier Section 

Premiership. 

* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a 

player must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing 

his first full season of senior football.

Geoff Reilley 

RETRO 

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011 

The C Section preliminary final was a blow out when 

AJAX played magnificently against Old Camberwell 

28.16 to 10.5. Best – Steinberg (3), Lew (9), Jankie, 

Winograd, Routman, Measey (AJAX) and Tolson, Deev, 

Le Cerf, Kapoor, Killwirth, Carlyle (Old Camberwell). 

Parkdale Vultures were too good for Banyule in the 

Division 1 Grand Final 16.8 to 8.14. It was all over 

by three quarter time. Best – Hayward, Kelleher, 

Redmond, Oakley (7), Ryan (5), Grant (Parkdale) and 

Cusack, Christian, Dillon, Shepherd, Barclay (3), Brown 

(Banyule). 

Luke Holmes was voted “Umpire of the Year” at the 

VAFAUA’s annual dinner; Jayde Daly was awarded the 

“Most Promising Umpire” award. 

St Johns won the Division 2 Grand Final 11.18 to 6.10 

and the result was a shock to many who thought Glen 

Eira to be a certainty. Best – Phaedonas, O’Connor, 

Gaget, Dyker, Scott (5), Chalk (StJ) and Mills, Spink, 

Waras, Carstensen, Diamond, Higgins, King (GE). 

5 YEARS AGO – 2007 

Old Brighton defeated University Blues to gain 

another crack at Old Xaverians in the A Section Grand 

Final. The Blues trailed by 5 goals at half time and the 

difference increased as the game wore on; final score 

13.15 to 6.12. Best – Hendra, Hughes, Jakobi, Pirrie 

(5), Gadsden, Dickerson (OB) and McKinnon, Knowles, 

Steele, Gleeson, Watts, O’Riley (UB). 

Uni Blacks earned their spot in the B Section Grand 

Final when they won the preliminary against Old 

Essendon 18.13 to 13.5. Best – Batten, M Kempton, 

Vanderloo (5), Costello, Symon, Purcell (Blacks) and 

Skurrie (6), Day, D Biggs, Goullet, Ward, Clifton (OE). 

Oakleigh won the D1 Section flag against Hampton 

Rovers 19.10 to 8.11 and probably had the game sewn 

up at quarter time with 8.2 to 2.4. Best – Britt, Harold, 

Bromley (6), Counihan, Holden, Fitzgerald (Oakleigh) 

and Dallas, Malthouse, Duddy, Carr, Zampaglione, 

Deboer (HR). 

It was South Melbourne Districts’ year when they 

defeated Aquinas Old collegians in the D2 Grand Final 

18.16 to 10.12. The Districts’ 8 goal first term was the 

difference. Best – Aquilina, Jess, E Costello, Mahoney, 

Cronan (3), Cheevers (SMD) and J Jess, Olarenshaw, 

Toomey, Williams, Cooper, Lorkin (Aquinas). 

Old Westbourne were the deserving D3 Premiers 

following their great win over Ivanhoe 14.20 to 7.11 

after trailing at half time by 3 points. Best – Connors, 

Hunter, Pavez, Connors, Fairfield, Smith (OW) and 

Crapper, Lynacoln, Rawley, Brown, Meredith, Pye 

(Ivanhoe). 


The U19 Section 1 preliminary final between Old 

Brighton and Old Xaverians was a very tight contest 

until half time with Brighton holding an eleven point 

lead. Brighton broke away in the third term with 7 

goals to 2 and despite a fight back from the Xavs, 

Brighton won 12.5 to 8.10 and would meet St Kevins 

in the Grand Final the following week. Best – Hughes, 

Mentiplay, J Salem, Ryan, Peel (4), Adamis (OB) and 

Fox, Hardwick, Lourie, Bowen, Doxey (4), Heeley (OX). 

The A Section preliminary final looked headed for an 

upset at half time as Old Scotch led Old Xaverians 8.6 

to 4.7. The third quarter was all Old Xavs with 8.7 to 

no score by Scotch. Despite having the advantage 

of the wind in the final term, Scotch could not 

make up the 7 goal deficit and with a 14.18 to 10.9 

victory, Old Xaverians would have the opportunity in 

a week’s time to become the only club in A Section 

to win 7 out of a possible 8 premierships at the top 

level. Best – Ockleshaw, Dillon, Brushfield, Landrigan, 

Richardson (6), Orlando (OX) and Finocchiaro, Breisch, 

Saunders, Crow Nettleton (3), Ross (OS). Peter James 

and Mark Gibson were the central umpires. 

It was a similar situation in B Section with an even 

game in the first half before Old Haileyburians turned 

up the heat on North Old Boys to charge to a 15.18 

to 6.16 victory in the preliminary final. Best – Bourke, 

Brooks, Jenke, S Lay, O’Farrell, Armstrong (OH) and 

Collison, Hosking, Eastaugh, Sanders, Fitzclarence, 

Faraci (NOBS). 

Whitefriars Old Collegians won the C Section 

premiership 20.14 to St Bedes Mentone Tigers 13.15 

in a high standard contest. Best – Northey, R Pawlik 

(3), A Pawlik, Pasqualotto, Power, Swain (Whitefriars) 

and A Hayes (3), S Kidd, P Wintle, Beasley, M McCraw, 

S Hecker (StB). Tim Sutcliffe and Wayne Hinton were 

the central umpires. 

Matthew Power was the Michael Ritterman Medalist 

for his best on ground performance. Michael 

Ritterman from the AJAX Amateur Football Club was 

a champion player who won VAFA Best and Fairest 

awards in B, C, D and E Sections as well as having 

been a member of the Victorian Carnival team in 1976 

and a dual premiership captain for his club. 


De La Salle jumped St Bernards and were never 


headed in an entertaining preliminary final in A 

Section. Pat O’Callaghan was the tall target for De 

La and worried the Bernie’s defence to finish with 3 

goals. Craig Wright was dashing as usual across half 

back and although Andrew Ronchi battled hard, he 

found it difficult to handle Wayne Carey’s expertise in 

the ruck. Luke Gollant was strong for St Bernards but 

the three quarter time advantage of five and a half 

goals would be difficult to overcome. And so it was 

as De La ran out winners 13.11 to 11.8 and gained the 

right to challenge Collegians the following week. Best 

– Wright, Campbell, Fiume, Ronchi, Toohey, Hunter 

(DLS) and Carey, Mallia, Walsh, L Gollant, Comito, 

Overman (StB). 

Old Trinity won their way into the B Section Grand 

final when they defeated Old Melburnians in a low 

scoring affair 5.10 to 3.12. Best – Hedley, Hopkins, 

Beardsley, Alibon, Hudson, Dunn (OT) and Rose, 

Nelson, O’Brien, Teal, Bryan, Webb (OM’s). 

The talented Fawkner team easily won the C Section 

Grand Final against Bulleen Templestowe, 16.17 to 

6.5. Fawkner kicked 14.10 to 3.5 after quarter time. 

Best – Lawson, Mitchell, Hoare, McMahon (3), Hall, 

O’Leary (Fawkner) and Cumming, Harisiou, George, 

Philpots, Driver, Tulloch (Bulleen Templestowe) 


In A Section strong rivals North Old Boys and De La 

Salle staged a typically tough yet fast and furious affair 

in the second semi final. NOBS led by 4 points after an 

exciting first half but it was De La who finished the 

stronger to win 15.13 to 10.17 at the final siren. Best 

– Maher (4), Williams (3), McDonnell, Bourke, Franetic, 

Greene (DLS) and Welch, Griffin, O’Rourke (3), Clark, 

Conti, Ryan (NOBS). 

The B Section second semi was a game of two 

halves with Old Melburnians leading 10.4 to 8.7 at 

half time and Ivanhoe taking out the second half 

and more importantly the match 19.13 to 17.10. 

Best – McDonald, Balcombe, Simondson, Field, 

Hoare, Stewart (Ivanhoe) and Morphet, J Thompson, 

Mitchell, Brown, Knight, Trumble (Old Melburnians). 


Old Paradians defeated Caulfield Grammarians in 

the A Section preliminary final 13.27 to 10.14 and 

Paradians inaccuracy in front of goal was highlighted 

by their 5.11 in the final term. Caulfield had actually 

led at the first three breaks due to Parade’s poor 

‘sharpshooting’. Best – J Tudor, Carroll, Bahen, Duke, 

Lyons, Tomkins (Paradians) and Williams, Lester (3), P 

McLaughlin, G Tootell, Long, Fox (Caulfield). 

The B Section preliminary was won by Ivanhoe at 

the expense of University Blacks 18.10 to 11.22. Best 


– Ireland, Hughes, Dickson, Rojo, Berry (3), Flanagan 

(Ivanhoe) and Batten, MacCallum, A Costello, Hill, 

Stewart (3), Spring (Blacks). 

Reservoir Old Boys continued their rise up through 

the ranks with a resounding victory in the C Section 

Grand Final over Assumption Old Collegians 18.13 to 

11.9. The 10 goal second quarter by Reservoir broke 

the back of the Assumption defence. Best – Devlin 

(6), Bates, R Shepherd, S Aston, J Paulka, Dowell 

(ROB) and Lewis, Duro, Phillips, Kelly, Avery, Nugent 

(Assumption). 

Parkside won a thrilling D Section Grand final over 

Old Brighton 15.12 to 14.17 in a match with never 

much more than a goal in it. Best – Ridd, Sammut (4), 

Graham Dryden (3), P Harvey, Eames, Elliot (Parkside) 

and Watkins, Mullett, Templeton, Agar (4), McBriar (4), 

Kemp (Old Brighton). 


Melbourne High School Old Boys won their way into 

the A Section Grand final with a convincing win over 

Collegians in the A Section preliminary final with a 

strong finish 8.13 to 6.7, four of their goals coming 

in the final quarter. Best – Turnbull, Birch, Macdonald, 

Pascoe, Nelson, Hance (MHSOB) and Rowe, R Daff, 

Evans, G Hibbins, Sanders, R Walduck (Collegians). 

Kew won the C Section premiership with a score 

of 6.19 to West Brunswick 8.3 in the Grand final. 

Best – Williams, Fletcher, Taylor, Blay, Haigh, Winton 

(Kew) and Nash (5), D Strachan, Tuner, Park, Grinter, 

Johnston (West Brunswick). 

Fairfield won the D Section premiership 7.14 to Old 

Carey 3.2. Best – O’Dwyer, Collier, Rodwell, Pearce 

(3), Urobst, Hume (Fairfield) and Edwards, Dunshea, 

Linthorne, Poole, Sedman, B Murray (Old Carey). 

60 YEARS AGO - 1952 

Uni Blues led all day to win the A Section preliminary 

final 16.9 to Commonwealth Bank 11.9 and would 

meet Ormond the following week. 

MHSOB defeated Ivanhoe in the B Section Grand final 

6.11 to 5.7 and had come from behind to win the 

premiership. 

Elsternwick defeated East Malvern in the C Section 

preliminary final 9.9 to 7.13 and Old Scotch defeated 

Ormond in the Juniors Grand final 13.9 to 12.6.

SEASON CLIMAX 

For the 4 th year in a row, the Under 19 Premier 

Grand Final will be contested between De La 

Salle & Old Xaverians. The two powerhouses 

of VAFA junior football have got a great history 

against each other and this Saturday’s final will 

no doubt add another great chapter. Will Xavs 

go back to back or will De La get revenge for 

their loss in the 2011 Grand Final. 

De La Salle won through the the Grand Final in 

comprehensive fashion with an 87 point win 

over St Bernards in last week’s Preliminary Final. 

Hugh Nicholson was the star up forward with 

nine goals with Dan Convery showing good 

form around the ground. For St Bernards it is 

the end of the line in 2012, but it has been a 

very good season with the last weeks all about 

honouring their lost mate Harry Overman. 

Grand Final Preview – De La Salle v Old 

Xaverians 

Both forward lines are also in good form, with 

Nicholson kicking nine and Howard bagging 

four against St Bernards in the Prelim, then 

there’s Charlie Haley winning the leading goal 

kicker medal and being on of the premier 

players in the competition. Robbie Ralph has 

a had a great year and will be heavily watched 

by the De La backmen and Nick Sharkey, who 

kicked 6 for the Xavs in the round 18 clash will 

need close attention too. It will be a cracking 

game out at Central Reserve on Saturday 

afternoon with the two powerhouse teams of 

this competition fighting it out for the ultimate 

prize. My tip is for De La to reverse the result of 

two weeks ago and take the flag by 16 points. 

Section 2 

UNDER 19 Premier 

GRAND FINAL 

De La Salle v Old Xaverians 

The Xavs and De La have met three times this 

season, each game being decided by fewer 

the 3 goals with the Red & Black saluting each 

time. In two of those games De La have been 

in match winning positions, leading by 6 goal 

margins but Xavs have clawed back into the 

contest and managed to snatch victories, the 

most recent of these of course in the 2 nd Semi 

Final two weeks ago. 

The match will see two quality midfields to 

lock horns, for the Xavs, Denton, Batten & Pat 

Monti against Harry Haley, Gotch & Hamilton. 

De La’s ruckmen, Paul Johnson will look to 

give his midfield first use of the ball and Xavs 

will need to be at their best to counteract this. 

During the season the sides met three times 

and the Skobbers won all three in tight finishes. 

What a game - a very high standard in all areas 

and played in great weather. Both sides had 

opportunities to take control. Caulfield led by 

eight points at quarter time, St Kevins by nine at 

the main break and eight at three quarter time. 

The last quarter was amazing - the Skobbers 

kicked one goal then Caulfield came and came 

and came again – kicking nine goals to the 

Skobbers three, to run out 24 point winners. To 

add insult to injury the Skobbers kicked 11.21 

and had 32 scoring shots to 26. St Kevins had 

every chance to put them away but just could 

not nail them. The long quarters put pressure 


on both sides but Caulfield deserved the win 

and will take on Old Brighton in this week’s 

Grand Final. 

Grand Final Preview – Old Brighton v 

Caulfield 

By The Phantom: This clash is a bit like the 

Geelong v Fremantle clash - All the money 

is on Old Brighton but Caulfield could get up 

in a fairy tale finish from fourth spot. In every 

game everyone has a chance, in this case Old 

Brighton hold the cards but Caulfield are into 

‘take a chance and see what rolls out.” Both 

sides are loaded with talent but Caulfield are in 

form with two great final wins and will run the 

game out. It’s important to be trained for the 

moment and the Fields will certainly be primed 

for the day! Josh McCahon has done a great job 

and should be Section 2 coach of the year, for 

getting to the grand final from 4th spot! Old 

Brighton have been the form side all year but 

the punters love an under dog finish so I am 

going for Caulfield. 

Final with the two inform sides of the section. 

Northern Blues will be wondering where it all 

went wrong after a dominant season fell away 

at the end. 

Grand Final - Mazenod v Collegians 

The Grand Final pits two sides against each 

other that are very even, so much so that 

scores were level at the final siren in a night 

match in round 9. After leading for most of the 

game, Collegians gave up a lead but Mazenod 

couldn’t get the points. In the second meeting 

it was and 11 point victory for Mazenod as they 

got over a Collegians side that was short on 

their key movers that day. So where does that 

leave us? Mazenod have had the easier ride 

into the Grand Final but Collegians have been 

coming for the past few weeks too. Considering 

some of the talent on display this should be a 

ripping game starting at 11.15am at Scammell 

reserve on Sunday, and I lean to Collegians by 

12 points.

GRAND FINAL 

Mazenod v Collegians 

Section 3 

As expected in this column last week, 

Collegians accounted for Northern Blues in the 

Preliminary Final to set up a Grand Final clash 

with Mazenod. Collegians trailed by 2 points 

at the first break but turned it on in the second 

quarter to run out winners by 39 points. Nick 

Blackney kicked three goals and Lindsay Apted 

two with best afield honours to setup a Grand 


North 

It’s hard to believe that Ivanhoe have gone out 

in straight sets but now that it is on paper it 

must be true. Ivanhoe dropped three games for 

the year then lost two in a row going down to 

Old Geelong in the Preliminary Final by three 

goals. The OG’s now have the right to secure 

the club’s second premiership this season 

when they take on Williamstown CYMS in the 

45

UNDER 19 & UNDER 18 

Grand Final 9.15am at Trevor Barker Oval on 

Sunday. It’s hard to get a read on how the final 

will go but I tend to lean towards the hooped 

men who are riding the wave of club success 

this year. This is despite Willy, boasting the 

competition best and fairest winner in Nic 

Holdsworth.

Williamstown CYMS v Old Geelong 

South 

De La Salle thrashed Peninsula in the 

Preliminary Final to move into a Grand Final 

match against Parkdale Vultures at Central 

Reserve at 9.15 Saturday. De La led the Pirates 

all day with Matt Hogan kicking four goals 

and Jack Hanley three. The Grand Final will 

be an interesting battle as Parkdale and De 

La Salle have both handed out their fair share 

of thrashings for their opponents this season. 

Parkdale won the last battle between these 

sides in the second semi a fortnight ago by 18 

points. Given that most recent encounters are 

strongest in the memory it’s hard to go past 

the Vultures again.

They take on Oakleigh at Central Reserve at

UMPIRES 

The VAFA was engulfed by finals fever last 

weekend and of course, us umpires were in the 

thick of it. As the clubs strive for premierships 

and promotion to a higher grade, the umpires 

strive for that grand final medallion. The aim is 

usually to achieve something a little better and 

more rewarding than the previous year. 

There are always plenty who miss out because 

quite simply there are not enough grand finals 

to go around. But to those members who have 

put the whistle or flags away for the summer we 

thank you for your involvement this year. If you’ve 

had disappointment, don’t spit the dummy. 

Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson 

NEARLY THERE 

Come back, work hard, listen to your coaches and 

see where it takes you. We hope to see you back 

in 2013 striving to reach that ultimate goal. 

As we mentioned last week, ensure you read 

BENNY’S BULLETINS. Important information 

will be there that shouldn’t be missed. 

Grand Final Lunch 

As usual the VAFAUA will be holding its Grand 

Final Day Luncheon in the social rooms. It kicks 

off at 11 on Premier grand Final Day September 

23 rd . Guest speaker will be Carlton premiership 

player and current GWS backline coach Peter 

Dean. We’re sure all the Carlton supporters in 

the room will re-live that third quarter smother 

against the Cats which turned the game and 

handed the Blues a big win in the 1995 AFL 

Grand Final. We’re sure Chilli will!) 

For details on the function, see Jayde (Silver 

Shoes) Daly, or put your name on the table lists 

now displayed on the notice board in the rooms. 

Feel free to bring along guests from the clubs 

too. We’ll certainly have our regulars from Old 

Mentonians and Elsternwick there. 

Harris Family Butchers 

Don’t forget our sponsors who always do a 

sensational job in supplying our barby meat at 

our functions and meetings. Go down and visit 

them at 73 Mackie Road East Bentleigh and 

they’ll look after you. 

Personal Mortgage Managers 

Field Umpire Mark Gibson 

For all your buying and selling needs in the real 

estate world, enlist the help of long-time sponsor 

Anthony Damen who will certainly do the right 

thing for you.
