PREMIER CAN EPIC THEATRE BATTLEDi LangtonWith Gargoyles standing sentry over the neo-gothicdomain of Melbourne’s Forum Theatre, we saw theglittering prize bestowed upon the cream of the Ammoworld. Under a too-blue sky with winking pseudostars,the real stellar sights on Monday night werethe winners of each section’s best and fairest awards.Taking out the L.S. Zachariah award for Premier C wasMichael Chamberlain from Mazenod with 17 votes,ahead of equal second place-getters and team matesBen Carboni and Dean Scheetz of Caulfield Grammarwith 13 votes apiece.GRAND FINALIn the moments before the grand final bounce at TrevorBarker Oval, pre-game butterflies were evident on thefaces around the ground. Brett Sinclair’s knee injuryin the second semi kept him from the big dance, butBeauy captain Brayden Haynes recovered from atwinged hammy to lead his side in the national anthem.There were big voices urging, a big breeze blowing,and big stakes ahead.How then, did we get to a quarter time margin of 45points? Beaumaris failed to register a solitary pointand struggled to make any meaningful forward foray.Ben Hyland won the first-goal kudos for Caulfield,followed by five of his teammates to kick 6.9 in the firstterm, in hindsight this was waaay too wasteful.A deathly pall seemed to hang over the royal & yellowhuddle. What could Mifsud pull out here? “We keepgoing fellas,” he said. “We keep going, and we keepour composure.”That they did. The shiny pate of Michael Lee burstfrom the centre bounce and the Sharks tore into theirfirst bite; two more in quick succession by McNicholasand Petering, and they were up and about. Caulfieldveteran Mark Liddell managed a trademark leftfooterfrom just inside fifty late in the quarter for theironly major, but Beauy had clawed back five goals andtrailed by 19 points. As the third stanza started, a fewdrops of rain momentarily fell and signalled a lull inthe bluster. With the wind much less a factor, Caulfieldwas slow to get going despite the doggedness ofcaptain Widjaja and Hammond. Beauy defender TimCollins was throwing up barricades, while down theother end Chris Langdon kicked two goals and TravWoolnough nailed his second right on the siren to getthe Sharks within 2 points. Caulfield had managed just4 behinds for the term.The fourth opened with a couple of misses, thenMcNicholas goaled for Beaumaris to put them 4 pointsup before the blood rule saw Woolnough and Price offwith clashed heads. Chris Hammond put the Fieldsback in front by 2 points, the Caulfield faithful berserkwhen Justin Perkins followed it up to make it 7 points.With 24 minutes gone, a bandaged Woolnough markedfrom 45 but missed, another rushed made it a 5 pointgame. With 27 gone, every player was in the Beauyforward fifty, willing themselves with what little energythey had left; and desperation footy sucked the breathfrom every onlooker. The ball fell to best-on-groundLangdon who threw it on the checkside. Goal. Beauyheld a one point lead for another four minutes, mostlyin the Caulfield forward line. Surely a point, a rushedbehind would take us into overtime. It seemed it did atone point, but no, out of bounds. When the siren blewthere was a split second of hesitation from the Sharks.Is that right? Did we win? DID WE WIN?!!!We were treated to a brilliant display of finals football,a battle of epic proportions, and such amazing scenes ofstark contrast: Caulfield’s despair, Beaumaris’ elation.Premier C Team of the YearB: Scheetz (C) Weislitzer (A) Ensor (B)HB: Keleher (O) S.

DIVISION 1BEES CAP OFF BRILLIANT YEARRees QuilfordA season of sweat, blood, toil and tears broughtus down to two. For the third time in a monththe minor premiers Werribee took on MonashBlues for the Division 1 premiership. Werribeecapped off what has been an amazing year with aconvincing 46 point win.The game had all the makings of a shootout atthe end of the first quarter. Monash showed veryearly on that they didn’t plan on leaving anythingin the tank. Kicking the first three majors of thegame was exactly the start they needed but theBees were able to respond in style. Generatingplenty of run and capitalising on some excellentfield kicking they booted five goals to take a5-point lead at the first change.The second term was all Werribee. It wasn’tthat the Monash boys weren’t giving their all,Werribee’s class on every line just shone through.They took complete control of the contest.Stefan Callea was the everywhere man and TateMcCutcheon was absolutely dominant in theruck. His class had a twofold effect, providing hison-ball unit first use but also making life difficultfor the likes of Tim McKenzie, Andrew Youngand George Smyth for the Blues. As such, theBlues weren’t able generate the run they sodearly needed. Six goals to one for the quarterfrom the Bees delivered them a six goal lead atthe main change.To their credit Monash came off the break andproduced a gutsy team-wide effort. They bootedthree majors for the term and managed to holdthe Bees to two. But the damage had been done,it was never looked enough to get them over theline. While Monash remained competitive in thefinal term Werribee was still able to kick away.Four goals to two capped off a memorable win.At the end of the day the Bees simply had toomuch class, their run and disposal by foot wasexcellent all day. Monash were valiant by werenever able to break the game openTate McCutcheon was superb all day in the ruckfor the Bees and was a worthy recipient of themedal for best afield. He got first class supportfrom Wayne Pelar, Stefan Callea, AidanMurphy and Darren Morrish. The Bees alsofound a good spread of goal kickers, AaronTaylor capped off a brilliant year up forward withthree majors. Matt Taylor and Andy Panayi alsobooted three apiece.For the Blues, Justin Main, Dan Brogden andDujon Fuzzard put in sterling performanceswhile Ryan Parsons finished the match withthree.Monash did have some positive news after theweekend when George Smyth was a worthywinner of the Division 1 Best and Fairest awardon Monday night.Well, it has been fantastic year Division 1.

DIVISION 2BEARS WITHOUT SCARESJames CoyneBanyule completed a remarkable season whenit clinched both Division 1 senior and reservepremierships and may not yet be done. Its Threeshave the chance to put the cherry on top of the supersundae when they play in the Premier B Thirdsgrand final this Saturday.Old Paradians, under Phil Gaut, have undergoneresurgence too. On Sunday, they had the chance tocap a great year and send Peter Brabender out ona winning note, but it was not to be. Dreams don’talways come true in the last.It was a low-scoring affair at Craigieburn, as finalsoften are, with the wind making accuracy a priority.Neither team distinguished itself in that department,but the Bears did a little better. Allan Young bootedthree for the Green, but the fearsome Killer Bcombo contributed just one, though it must be saidthat David Boundy was his team’s best player. AshBrown and Luke Giles snagged pairs for the Bears,but otherwise the scoring was restricted to singles.The first stanza was a close affair, but Paradians’failure to draw twin calicos in the second term putit behind the eight-ball. The third term was theirchance, but an eleven point deficit at the last changespelled doom. The Bears seven shots to two in thefinal term and pushed away to a 26 point victory.Congratulations to Rick Brockwell and his team ontheir premiership, which was thoroughly deserved.The Banyule club has much to look forward to asit pushes back up through the sections. It has afine young list and is hellbent on development andimprovement.Their foray into the Thirds competition is proof ofthat. Paradians also has been a power in the pastand will look to keep its upward momentum.It was a season of great interest. The teams promotedto Div 2 – Bentleigh and St Mary’s Salesian – didnot enjoy the success they had last year. The Saintswere relegated along with Prahran, while theDemons simultaneously flirted with the finals anddemotion. Therry Penola crashed and burned aftera bright start and Glen Eira challenged hard until itsexit on preliminary final day. And so to the summerand to time off that is well earned.Thanks to all those who contributed to this columnduring the year, advertently or otherwise.DIVISION 2 GRAND FINAL DIVISION 2 RESERVEBANYULE 0.3, 3.8, 6.8, 9.12 (66)OLD PARADIANS 1.4, 1.7, 4.9, 5.10 (40)GOALS, BANYULE: A.

DIVISION 3GRAND FINAL: FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAMEJonathan HibbertVermont Reserve, home of the Vermont Eagles,bore witness to a massive crowd frothing for acontest. The canteen was stocked and ready, butnot ready enough for a deluge of purchases, outof hot food by 3pm. That said, the a la carte menufrom which I sampled every dish, was sumptuous:snags fried to perfection, hamburgers delightfullybrowned, and the onions caramelised beautifully.It was just the way a Grand Final should be. It wasfrenetic and intense. It was bruising and brutal. Itwas the best game of footy I’ve seen in a long time.In the end, decided by only a point, it turned out tobe more than anybody could have expected.The first half, though exciting, pales in comparisonto the excitement of the final two quarters, so I shalleschew a long-winded report, and simply state myhighlights of the match up until the last quarter (I’llpost a full report of the game on the website):While battling sauce dripping down my jumper,the sauce coloured hair of Dillon Farrell, freshlytrimmed, wailed back and forth between clearances,halting JOC thrusts, and parrying, reboundingconstantly, commanding to screams from the LaTrobe contingent, packed out with picnic rugs,banners and flags. Cult hero, Jack McMeel elicitedwails of delight (from a heady amount of women)every time he got near the pill, the enigmatic 36taking a couple of spectacular grabs and reboundingoff the half back line in the last quarter.The third quarter was clearly dominated by StJohn’s, marked by rugged and fierce play byAndrew Dexter and Kane Arnold, culminatingin some spectacular goals. Liam Mara from theboundary line converted a huge bomb, whileGlenn Costas and Aaron Abela both performedmagnificently, snagging three each. Costas wasparticularly impressive in the third quarter, kickingtwo in two minutes, to put St John’s ahead by fourgoals going into the final break.Matty Phaedonos’ second quarter run from fullback to the half-forward flank a la Mick McGuanewas a sight, the JOC’s crowd urging him on,Phaedonos an unstoppable juggernaut.The final quarter began with La Trobe trailing byfour goals, severely in need of something special.As if sent by the Gods, Tom Harding, who’dbeen leading all day, managed to take a grab andconvert, quickly followed by Xavier Shiels’ goal.Stirring the pot, and rousing the Red and Blackfaithful to their feet was Terry Ludeman with theequaliser, a hard fought running goal from 45. DidLa Trobe kick five or did they kick six? Well, totell you the truth, in all the excitement I kinda losttrack myself. At this point I stopped taking notescompletely and allowed myself to be subsumedby the match. Points here and there, and desperatesmothers followed by crunching tackles and gruntsof pain left La Trobe one point ahead with fiveminutes left. Cachia, left alone in the JOC’s forwardline somehow got his hands on it, and lined up onthe run for the most important kick of his game.Somehow, from somewhere, like an eagle, StephenAdamthwaite flew from the nether regions of theback pocket and smothered. Dean Sheldrick flewacross the face of a pack and marked in the vein ofLeo Barry. These two moments saved the day forthe Students, and as the siren sounded, I realisedI’d just seen the best game of footy ever.DIVISION 3 GRAND FINAL DIVISION 3 RESERVELA TROBE UNI 4.1, 6.2, 7.5, 12.8 (80)ST JOHNS 3.2, 5.5, 10.11, 11.13 (79)GOALS, LA TROBE UNI: G.

DIVISION 4TWIN PEAKSJim SuttonCongratulations to Monash Gryphons, who in their20 th year in the VAFA broke their premiership ducklast Saturday, and how, taking home both the seniorand reserves flags.After a tight opening in the early game, the Gryphonsput their collective feet down early in the secondand raced away to a four goal lead, but then wereforced to fight tooth and nail against a determinedSwinburne Uni outfit. Ultimately the Razorbackswere unable to pull back the early deficit and it wasglory for Gryphons reserves coach Jack McDonaldand his charges, whose only loss for the season wasby a solitary point way back on April 10.In probably the most benign conditions seen duringthe finals series, Monash dominated the early goingin the senior decider and quickly raced out to a 16point lead, but were soon made to pay for theirinaccuracy when Mt Lilydale got their bearings andkicked the last four goals of the term to take a 7 pointlead at the first break.In the second both defences were well on top, withthe Gryphons kicking the only goal late in the quarterto snatch a 1 point lead, despite having almost doublethe Rams scoring shots.The third term was one of fluctuating fortunes.Monash began well and got out to a two goal leadby half way, however, the plucky Rams would notbe shaken and kicked the last two goals to tie upthe scores and go into the final break with plenty ofmomentum.Whatever breeze was present at Vermont wasfavouring the end to which the Gryphons wouldbe coming home, however goals had been just aseasy to come by at the opposite end. Mt Lilydalekicked the first goal to grab back the lead, but as theyhave been able to do all year when challenged, theGryphons found another gear and responded. Withboth sides tiring the game began to open up andthey traded goals before Monash kicked a couplein succession and looked to have a match winninglead of 10 points into time on. Not to be denied, theRams surged forward again and quickly goaled toreduce the margin to 4 points at the 28 minute mark.They won another centre clearance and the ballwas kicked deep, but a desperate spoil enabled theGryphons to regain possession, run forward and goalafter a strong mark. Another major was added justbefore the siren for icing on the cake, and the cupwas headed to East Caulfield Reserve.Clint Mackie was outstanding around the packs forthe Gryphons, Greg Munro had a ton of possessionon his wing, Nick Rutherford’s work rate and attackon the ball was a highlight, and Daniel Wills kickedfour crucial goals. Mt Lilydale’s on-ball / midfieldcombination of Al Stewart, Chris Gibson and TomWall all played fantastic games for the Rams, whileLuke Evans was resolute in defence.Well done to both sides for their terrific seasons anda great game on Saturday, two of last years Division4 promotees played finals in Division 3 this season,and both the Gryphons and Rams should go into2011 confident of continued success.It would be remiss of me not to mention the clubcorrespondents who send in match reports each week,while some clubs have been sporadic at best (and acouple non-existent), I want to pay particular tributeto Matt Healy (Monash Gryphons), Greg Finkemeyer(Mt Lilydale), Dave Trinchi (Manningham Cobras)and Ron Nicholson (Richmond Central) for theirgenerous, detailed and reliable information week in,week out.Eat, drink and be merry folks, for pre-season trainingcan’t be too far away!DIVISION 4 GRAND FINAL DIVISION 4 RESERVEMONASH GRYPHONS 2.6, 3.10, 7.12, 13.12 (90)MT LILYDALE 4.1, 4.3, 8.6, 11.8 (74)GOALS, MONASH GRYPHONS: D.

RETROSPECTIVEGeoff Reilley12 Months Ago – 2009The A Section Grand Final turned out to be amagnificent contest after the Old Xaverians lookedlike breaking away from De La Salle in the secondhalf. In a low scoring match, The Xavs’ 6.3 to 2.4half time lead, looked ominous and they increasedtheir lead slightly by three quarter time (29 points).The last quarter effort by De La was terrific and theXavs could only score 1 behind as the D’s drew evercloser but in the end, the experience and strength ofthe Xavs held firm and the season concluded withXaverians’ tenth A Section senior pennant in fifteenseasons, a remarkable effort. Best – Wynne, Darvell,Howard, Purss, Clarke, Rogerson (Xavs) and Lowe,Close, Moloney, Nethersole, Hale, Pickett (DLS).Russell Davidson, Shane Mackintosh and TimSutcliffe were the field umpires.

Trinityheld a valuable 2 goal lead at half time and OldMelburnians kicked inaccurately again in the thirdquarter but led by 25 points and looked the strongerunit.

The great University Blacks teams ofthe past won six consecutive A Section pennantsbut they were punctuated by the Second World Waryears. In a fluctuating game, St Bernards made theXavs work extremely hard and it took the Xavs toslam on 8.6 to 1.2 in the final term to take the prize,22.14 to 16.5.

It was a fantastic lastquarter with goal for goal but Mazenod refused tosurrender their lead to win 17.7 to 14.18 to takeout their highest honour in amateur football todate. Best – Pickering, Tucker, McIntyre, Harrison(4), Kavanagh (4), Nelson (Mazenod) and Nickas,Lennox, Tymms, Rickarby, Barrow, Perry (OB).Andrew Pickering was awarded the Ian cordnerMedal for his best on ground performance.20 Years Ago – 1990The A Section Grand Final saw Ormond againmeeting Collegians, Ormond having overcome12 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2010

Marcellin in the preliminary final the previousweek. In brilliant, sunny conditions Collegians werefavoured to reverse the previous season’s resultand started strongly with their key forwards posinga real problem for Ormond. Collegians missedsome chances in the second quarter, courtesy ofincreased pressure from both Ormond’s midfieldand defence. Ormond kicked 6 goals straight in thesecond term and left Collegians holding a 1 pointlead at the main break. In the third quarter Ormondcame out full of running but it was their turn tomiss opportunities (5.8) but they had restrictedCollegians to 2 behinds only and the 6 goal lead byOrmond had transformed the game. In a thrilling lastquarter, Collegians peppered the goals and restrictedOrmond’s forwards but when the siren sounded,Ormond had won their fourth successive A Sectionflag, 14.12 to 12.17. Best – Sebo, Mark McDonald,Brown, Burden, Clarkson, Kingston (Ormond) andBen Ingleton, Hinchen, Wright, Mount (4), Schober(3), Galbraith (Collegians).As expected, Old Haileyburians were too powerfulfor Old Melburnians in the B Section Grand Finaland their winning margin 25.25 to 7.4 was one of themost substantial at this level for many years.

Best – MGreene, Bourke, Hollier (DLS) and Orton, Bedford,Yeo (UB). Bernie Sheehy was the premiershipcoach. The field umpires were John Horwood andColin Wills.Old Xaverians won the B Section premiershipnarrowly from Old Scotch 12.12 to 12.10. Best –Burne, Curtain, Brown (OX) and Manson, Duke,Keil (OS).40 Years Ago – 1970Caulfield Grammarians won their first A Sectionpremiership with an outstanding effort by comingthrough from the first semi-final. They won thepreliminary final against Ormond and met thepowerful Coburg team in the Grand final. Somewhatunexpectedly Caulfield took an early lead andincreased it to 21 points at half time. With a 6 goallead by three quarter time the Grammarians lookedto have the game in their control but Coburg cameback strongly to finish only 2 points behind at thefinal siren. The achievement had been well managedby senior Caulfield coach, John Wilson. NormBeattie of Coburg won the J N Woodrow Trophy asbest and fairest player for the season.Old Scotch easily won the B Section flag against StBernards 14.22 to 7.9.50 Years Ago – 1960University Blues (9.10) won the A Sectionpremiership from Old Melburnians (6.6) in verywet conditions and until late in the game, therewere only a few points separating the two teams.B N Kerr (Old Melburnians) and I M Hayden (UniBlues) shared the A Section Best and Fairest award.University High School Old Boys deservedly won theJ V Deane Cup as B Section premiers after defeatingDe La Salle 12.10 to 7.13. The game had originallybeen scheduled at the Collingwood Football Groundbut had to be moved due to the appalling conditionsthere after a week of heavy rain. The match wasplayed at the Technical School Ground at AlbertPark in more appropriate conditions.60 Years Ago – 1950Ormond met University Blacks in the Grand Finaland after losing only one game for the season to date,Ormond started favourites but when Joe Sheehan,the Ormond Captain/Coach injured his knee and hadto be replaced early in the third quarter, the balancestarted to swing in the Black’s favour, Sheehanhaving been the best player afield in the first half. Ina thrilling second half, Ormond managed to hang onto win 9.12 to 9.8, drizzling rain affecting the skilllevel in the second half.

Well last weekend’sdeciders certainly had spectators on a ride theequal of any theme park. No less than four grandfinals were decided by the barest of margins (onepoint), leaving either the despair at opportunitylost or the elation and the exhilaration of victory.In U18 Division 2, a tight tussle all day betweenUHS-VU and St Bernard’s had the sizableCraigieburn crowd holding their breath as theSnow Dogs peppered the goals in the final minuteonly to have the siren snuff their grasp for victory.In U19 North (2), Therry Penola came storminghome against Old Ivanhoe but just fell short infront of an extremely large and vocal crowd atVisy Park and in Division 3, La Trobe Uni madeit back to back premiership victories after trailingSt John’s OC by 24 points at three quarter time.14 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2010

THE GAMEIn what was undoubtedly one of the great PremierC Grand Finals (and there have been a few – 2006St Bedes/Mentone Tigers v Ajax comes quicklyto mind), Beaumaris came back from 45 pointsdown (and scoreless) at quarter time to win thematch in the dying seconds. Holding Caulfieldgoalless in the third term when they had the windwas the key to the Sharks’ victory.Fun for the Whole Family at SCAHeading down to Sportscover Arena this weekendfor the Grand Finals (and already here if you arereading this!), Camp Australia have activities forthe kids on outer wing.

THIRDSDUST OFF YOUR SUNDAY FINESTRichard HummerstonThe reasons behind the seemingly pointless preseasons,alcohol-free Fridays and broken bonesall become apparent as we salute the 4 teamswho have reached the pinnacle of the season, apinnacle so elusive that many men succumb toretirement before achieving it.Congratulations to those that made it andcommiserations that so gallantly fell trying tomake it.An impressive crowd was treated to an almightybattle as De La and OM’s fought out to be therightful suitor in next week’s big dance againstOld Xavs. Utilizing the blustering conditions,the underdogs in Old Melburnians drew first andsecond blood putting themselves in good steadto earn a surprising Grand Final berth. It wasn’tuntil James Lamb lived up to his own hype andrestored order, sending De La into the main breakeven Stevens.With the first quarter played out much like thefirst and owing to some incredible performancesfrom Josh Vagg and Will Ray OM’s once againlooked like an unlikely victor. However, Alas forthe Junction Oval residents, a culmination of thebreeze and De La’s run would see them fall shortby 17 points.In a game that was as equally contested, StKevin’s and Uni Blacks did battle to play offagainst minor premiers Banyule.Played in almost identical conditions to Sunday’sgame, teams went goal for goal right up until thefinal 10 minutes. The breeze would once againprove to be the difference in the teams as the finalsiren drew a close on Uni Blacks season. TomO’Halloran earned best afield honours for theblacks while Patty Dowd was the best amongmany for St Kevin’s.In my final tips for 2010, I’m selecting OldXaverians by a few kicks while Banyule willwin a close one against St Kevin’sPREMIER THIRDS PRELIMINARY FINAL PREMIER B THIRDSDE LA SALLE 0.1, 5.4, 6.4, 12.10 (82)OLD MELBURNIANS 2.4, 5.6, 8.14, 8.17 (65)GOALS, DE LA SALLE: J.

Zac HubberDarren DawsonRichard WilkinsonUNDER 19It’s a Grand Final rematch as Old Xavs ran over OldScotch in the last to keep the dream alive. Trevor Barkerserved up another deck full of swamps and creeks thatmade conditions trying at times. Conversation amongthe faithful came to a halt as the number 18 hit the fieldfor the first time in the 19s since kicking 10 goals inround 12. Brendan Goss lived up to his 2010 form,kicking two goals in the opening quarter and taking theXavs to a three-point lead at the first break.The second quarter revealed nothing as to where theresult was headed after both teams went point for pointand goal for goal. Van den Broek had the better of theruck as he has all season and Matt Seed saw plenty ofthe Sherrin. At the main break it was still three pointsin favour of the Xavs.The third had something about it that made one feelScotch was about to grab the game by the scruff andtake control. The Xavs squandered three shots on goal,only to see the ball threaded through the sticks at theopposite end moments later. Some undisciplined playby the Scotch defenders gifted Goss a goal while LouisTiernan decided to make third quarters his own thisfinals series. A wayward shot on goal after the siren byScotch saw the Xavs hit the oranges with a five-pointbuffer.What occurred in the last 30 minutes not even theplayers saw coming. Old Xavs attacked the contestwith amazing hunger that transpired to a six goal –one quarter and booked a ticket to the grand finalagainst De La Salle. Ruthless tackling and a flurryof momentum had onlookers in awe. Luke Bisset’srunning goal silenced the cardinal-clad spectators andGoss continued to cause headaches, finishing withsix. The Xavs’ defence was again impressive as it wasagainst Beaumaris. Jonny Pintal was a brick, supportedstrongly by Franklyn, Woods and McGrath. It’s unfairthat after such an impressive season, Old Scotch bowedout in straight sets. Tom McKinley battled hard all dayafter copping a heavy knock early in the second, butcould only watch on in shock as the season came to aclose. The jubilation didn’t last long in the Xavs’ roomsas the attention quickly switched to next Saturday.PREVIEW:Undefeated, unbeatable, and undeterred. De La Sallehas been and is the best team in the Under 19s for 2010.Shellackings became unsurprising and close winsmeant a six-goal victory. Every team has felt De La’swrath at some point during the season. All areas of theground are covered as this juggernaut looks to backto-backpremierships. 10 players in the blue and goldexperienced the joy last year. Espinosa, Close, Clinch,Fort-Williams, DeLuca, Williams, B. Humphrey,Bonaddio, Orr-Farrell and O’Connell all basked invictory, while Stean, Lees, Woods, McClusky, Bissetand Parker will be seeking revenge. If anyone’s giventhe Dairy Bellers a run for their money it’s the Xavs.In Round 11 at the slim Stradbroke Park, De La trailedat the final break by 8 points to win by 14. The Xavsstarted the match with a four goal – one display, andheld firm to lead at the main break by 13 points. Bothsides had four players that kicked two goals apiece.For the Xavs, Pietzak, Molony, Pirrie and Ambroseare replaced by Plant, Goss, Stean and Walker. For DeLa, Barda, Gullan, Brooks, and McMahon are replacedby Wilson, Orr-Farrell, East, Bonnadio and DavidMurphy. Some big ins for both teams since last battlingit out. On paper you’d be drunk to contemplate De Ladropping the big one after such an immaculate season –but funny things do occur in the game of football. TheXavs came into the finals with some sketchy form withlosses to St Bedes/Mentone and Uni Blues, only to enda Beaumaris winning streak and run over Old Scotch.For Xavs to win it has to hit the contest early, or playcatch-up to De La at its own peril. If you’re sober, DeLa Salle by 24 points, if you’re a few in, get trivial andsee Xavs by 12 points.NORTH 1All season long, Werribee showed themselves to bea tough, formidable outfit.

went through the home-and-away rounds undefeated.Fitzroy were not nearly as impressive, twice droppinggames at Old Carey, once at St. Bernard’s, and threetimes against Werribee. For myself and most neutralobservers, all roads appeared to be leading west. Butthe second-semi final result threw the season on itshead, and from that day onward the Roys grew in thebelief that they could again tame the Tigers on the bigday. And so it came to pass.On the wide expanses of St.Bernard’s, Fitzroy hitthe ground running, booting 4.7 in the first term withthe Bees only managing one major. In what has beena somewhat familiar story for the Roys, there wereplenty who were concerned that inaccurate kickingmay again come back to haunt them, particularlywhen Werribee worked their way back into the contestprior to half time. But Fitzroy, led by Cheyne Evans,Michael Cussen and Nathan Jumeau, hung tough inthe second half, withstanding a Werribee onslaughtwhich included their own bout of inaccuracy: 4.7 alonein the final quarter. The Roys triumphed by 16 points,capping a magnificent season, and proving that thefinals and the home-and-away season are two entirelydifferent beasts.NORTH 2As an advertisement for amateur football, there couldhave been none better than the North 2 grand final. Whata wonderful match it was! Probably the best I have seenthis year: fast, tough, skilful and clean. In front of avocal crowd, Therry-Penola and Old Ivanhoe staged anepic duel which, in the end, was fittingly decided bythe narrowest of margins. On a blustery afternoon onan excellent surface at Visy Park, the Lions pepperedthe sticks in the first quarter but were not able to makethe most of their chances. The Hoers made them pay,with two late goals to go into the first break with a sixpointlead. In the context of the outcome, the secondquarter would prove decisive. With Dan Steele andJames Moio proving a handful, Old Ivanhoe’s forwardline seemed more open and threatening, and theymanaged four goals, whilst Therry toiled hard for theirtwo. With a 21-point half-time lead, it seemed as if theHoers had the game in their keeping. But the Lionsfought on and, with Josh Howells and Michael Powellat the forefront, outscored their opponents by a goal inthe third term. Therry-Penola coach Rod Egglestoneimplored his charges to run, run, run until the end;his Hoer counterpart Brad Shadbolt urged his team tocontinue to be long and direct. With Therry creepingever closer, the final quarter was one to remember. Ithad everything, including a Lions goal courtesy of a50-metre barrel in the closing stages. But it was OldIvanhoe who were one solitary behind in front when thesiren sounded. Skipper Michael Del Monte was nameda deserving b.o.g., but I thought solid defender MichaelMitris must have been close! So it’s commiserations toTherry-Penola, who were the pace-setters for much ofthe season. And congrats to Old Ivanhoe, whose lateseasonsurge proved unstoppable.SOUTH 1Well what an amazing year of football capped off witha brilliant grand final between the two best teams.The standard of South 1 football in 2010 has beenremarkable and many in premier would be thankful theydidn’t have to come up against teams such as St Kevins,Caulfield and of course Old Brighton. Congratulationsto the Beach Boys whose youth was a shining light atclub which had a disappointing year. Many players onSaturday played for their seniors throughout the yearand that will hold them in good stead for the future.Premier division next year will be a good test. If theycan keep a core group from this year together, then theywill seriously challenge the power house under teamssuch as De La, Xavs and Old Scotch. Furthermorecongratulations to Nick Coroneos who took out theleague B&F on Monday night, a worthy winner whoplayed fantastically well on the weekend.SOUTH 2A brilliant Grand Final full of run, precision skill andplenty of goals. Mazenod’s early poor kicking in frontof goal probably cost them but having said that whenOakleigh was challenged they always had another gearand in the end held up the cup they deserved. A stepup to South 1 will be exactly what this emerging clubsneeds. 19’s are such a crucial part of developing youngplayers and they need to be playing against betteroppositions so that the step up to senior level isn’t somuch of a leap. On Monday night the league B&F wasawarded to Josh Bosnar from Old Xavs, a fantasticyear and hopefully this will give him the confidence toexcel in senior football. Once again congratulation toOakleigh. Sincerely deserved!THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2010 19

UNDER 18TO THE FINALE . . .Nick WaldRupertswood’s premiership came as no surprisegiven their enormous year. They were in gearfrom the outset, bounced away and did notlet Oakleigh back into the game. A look at thescoreboard at the half might have revealed thatthe Krush still had a chance, but Rupo’s thirdquarter, literally the premiership quarter, out paidto all that.The victors had seven goalscorers, an indicationof their all-around strength, while Aaron Clokewho booted four for the Oaks only had one mateon the scoresheet.In Div 2, the game went down to the wire withheartbreak the result for St Bernard’s. Four goals,ten behinds won’t win you too many games,but UHSVUF got there by a point, courtesyof the Snow Dogs profligacy. Three goals andfifteen behinds was their story, one that willbe remembered with sadness in years to come.Ironically, the last minutes of the game saw theBernies desperately trying to score another pointin order to guarantee extra time. It was not to be,and the Acronyms took the flag.Thusly the second season of U18 football drewto a close. I am sure that the clubs would rate it asuccess overall and for two clubs who won flags,a great success. As most would remember, theyear began with two geographical sections andrealigned mid-season based on performance. TheVAFA chose between travel (often a problem forthe juniors without licenses or cars) and on-fieldfloggings and decided that even car pooling washorrible when one’s team was massacred.Many players had their introduction to theVAFA through this level in 2010 and no doubtplenty of the names we have become familiarwith will rise through the ranks to great things.Representatives from all clubs have been chosento tour New Zealand next month, giving twodozen of our players the great experience ofplaying representative football as well as gettingto know better some that they be playing againstfor the next decade or more.Thank-you to all who have helped me write thiscolumn through the season. Taking over fromthe great man Joe Morsello was never goingto be easy. As I undergo massive pain while inrecovery from shoulder surgery, I am gladdenedby the thought that U18 football is just sevenmonths away. Oh, and if Jeremy Bourke has aspare seat on that plane to Christchurch, I willhappily write the match reports. Stay safe and seeyou next April.GRAND FINAL RESULTSUNDER 18 DIV 1UHS-VU / FLEMINGTON 0.2, 3.7, 3.8, 4.10 (34)ST BERNARDS 2.2, 2.6, 2.12, 3.15 (33)GOALS, UHS-VU / FLEMINGTON: E. Pearson 1, N.
