27 August - Victorian Amateur Football Association

pesky. Andrew Ramsden kicked four from nineshots, and Rob Humann and Joel Aitken eachadded another good game to their impressiveseasons. The Greens troubled, but did notthreaten. Xavs’ skipper Matt Ball has hit a purplepatch and they can always count on some strongperformers from its star-studded defensive cast.Finally, Old Melburnians produced football it hasbeen promising since March. Smooth, purposefuland efficient, it sliced and diced Old Carey despitethe great efforts of Cam Howat, Paul Fiorenza andTom Evans. Michael Davis, Adam Morgan and KarlLombardozzi showed the way across the lawn andCam Beck kicked six in a season-high.TODAY: Try picking five winners this afternoon. DeLa at Scotch: both must win, both can’t. The Redsnearly beat De La at Camberwell early last yearand could do so again. OldTrinity home to Uni Blues:both must win, both can’t.The Ts have tossed Xavs, theTiges and De La at home, but lost to lesser lights.Blues? Can’t figure them. Melburnians at Brindisi:both must win, both can’t. Could the Redlegs getout of jail yet? At the fortress? Rest assured, they’lltry. Collegians at Haileybury: the Purples couldn’tgo to finals losing four straight. They’ll get theirmojo back here. Xavs at Carey: The X Men needto win in case others falter and that should beenough to see them home. Or not. The Panthershave had a fine debut season and can dreamabout what might have been. Then again, dreamsdie hard in Premier section. It’s a jungle out there,but often the hunters rule the beasts.PREMIER LAST ROUND PREMIER RESERVEOld Xaverians 3.4 7.4 13.10 15.14 (104)Old Trinity 2.1 6.3 9.3 12.5 (77)GOALS Old Xaverians: M.

PREMIER BJonathan HibbertROUND 18: DEAD RUBBER SURPRISEMy sincere thanks to the editor, who managed tosomehow throw together last week’s column atthe last minute, while I was incapacitated. In myfeverish delirium, I missed Hampton thumpingCaulfield, I missed St Bernard’s consolidatingtheir finals berth by utterly denying Ivanhoe oneof their own. I missed Oakleigh missing fourthposition like a fat kid on a diet misses cake. Thatsaid, if the Krushers win by about 150 againstMarcellin, and St Bernard’s get done by over120 by Caulfield, Oakleigh could slip into fourth.Statistically possible.Vindictive, Brighton was never going to bestopped by a desperate Marcellin, out off BulleenRoad. Having lost their earlier encounter withthe Eagles by a solitary behind, the Tonners werenot in a forgiving mood, and despite an evenlymatched scorecard, Brighton was decidedly incontrol. Dominating in the ruck, Tom Skeweswas brilliant, backed up by Dewar and Marston.Clutching at straws, Marcellin’s basic tacticswere to restrict the damage, flooding Brighton’sforward line, the ensuing third quarter congestionfrustrating players and spectators alike. JonathanBlanch and Stephen Pesavento’s best efforts wereshortly brushed aside, as Brighton’s strangleholdgrew tighter, the inevitable playing out, Marcellinlooking for solace this week away, againstOakleigh, Brighton’s finals berth well and trulyfixed.Leaping ahead with a six goal first term at theSnake Pit, St Bernard’s put the wind up Ivanhoe,Alex Singleton emphatically stamping his markon the game, and Tom Gleeson playing his bestgame for the year, following his return from thecollege tennis circuit in Florida. Trevor Cotsworthimpressed, offering his best game yet, as NickButler shot four straight majors, and Ivanhoebegan to claw its way back into the match. In atight arm wrestle, Tankard’s Snow Dogs began toshow their fitness, running longer and harder thanthe eastern interlopers, and in a telling final term,pumped home 7.2 to Ivanhoe’s 4.1.It’s been a disappointing back half to this seasonfor Uni Blacks. Having only won one from thepast seven games, Blacks must be rueing thislate slump, having now slipped from third toignominious seventh. SKOB’s, by comparison,have continued in a solid vein, and consolidatesecond position on the ladder after a tremendousmatch at T.H.King, the fifteen point victory overthe Varsity a welcome four points before lining upaway against Brighton this week. Plugger Lynchwas marvellous in the ruck, and Mick Giansiracusa’sfour goals signalled his return from suspension.Batten and Tom Napier again performed for Blacks,and continued to strive for an upset until the bitterend, ultimately countered by Tom McPherson andBen Dowd, as St Kevin’s ramp up preparations fortheir push back to Premier.Oakleigh’s spirit was krushed by the Sharks ina 19 point upset at Banksia Reserve, Oakleigh’sfinals hopes all but shattered, now strugglingin fifth behind the Snow Dogs by a game andpercentage. Fluctuating wildly, last week’s matchcould’ve been anyone’s, Oakleigh piling on threegoals after half time to scrape ahead by 16 points,only to have Beumaris bounce back with four oftheir own, Sean Coote forceful and Will Murtonbagging a couple for the Sharks to edge ahead atthree quarter time. Tim Scott bagged four of hisown, as Dermot Cleary added three for Oakleigh,TODAYSelections in BOLDOLD IVANHOE v BEAUMARISOLD BRIGHTON v ST KEVINSCAULFIELD GRAMMARIANS v ST BERNARDSOAKLEIGH v MARCELLINUNIVERSITY BLACKS v HAMPTON ROVERS4 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran

the frantic match ending just a little too late forthe Oakleigh faithful, despite it being one of theKrushers’ better games for the year.Consolation somewhat for Hampton, followingthe most unexpected result of the season barringCaulfield’s initial demolition of St Bernard’s inround 1. Entering the social club to rapturous localapplause at half time, Hampton was in the unlikelyposition of being 34 points abreast of the ladderleaders. Down back, Gary Carr had remainedreliable, strangling Caulfield’s opportunities, andas Mark Devereaux and Leigh Fletcher racked uppossessions, Danny Corp slotted three deliciousgoals. Chris Game and Ryan Lewis countered theRovers’ somewhat, but the day truly belonged toHampton, finally breaking the mould in the mostunlikely of fashions, closing the game out by overten goals.This Week: A cracker downat Beach Road, whereBrighton host SKOB’s. I’mstruggling to pick a victor, but SKOB’s footballhas been delightful this season, and they shouldnarrowly pip the Tonners. Beaumaris travel toChelsworth, where a grumpy Old Ivanhoe awaits,Ivanhoe to trump the Sharks narrowly. Resurgent,St Bernard’s will continue their winning streak overCaulfield, as the ladder leaders relax a little andconserve their energy for finals. Blacks will seeksolace by getting up over Hampton, last week’sanomaly holding no sway under the collegespires, and Oakleigh should prove a disastrousarena for Marcellin, the Krushers taking out lastweek’s frustration on the Eagles.PREMIER B LAST ROUND PREMIER B RESERVEBeaumaris 4.4 7.6 11.9 15.11 (101)Oakleigh 3.4 6.9 9.11 11.16 (82)GOALS Beaumaris: S.

Old Essendon torched Ormond on the back of DaveForrest’s seven goals. The Bombers had it won atthe half and kept the pressure on. Early seasonform and other results have conspired against theEssendonians and they won’t play finals, while thesituation is more grievous for the Monders, who faceanother drop.Ormond, for many years the power club of the VAFA,will need to regroup in Division One should they failto defeat Werribee today. Frankly, no-one expectsthat to happen, but stranger deeds than this arepart of folklore. With all the chatter about the Beesthat has established clubs reaching for the Melwaysto find Soldiers’ Reserve – “it’s only once a season, Iguess” – it’s ironic that they, the “new force” on theway up, will shake hands with the “old force” as theyhead up and down different paths.Monash Blues, not quite safe, has Mazenod tocontend with. The Nodders have found their formafter a shaky start and will be in no mood to tinker toomuch with a semi-final a week hence. The Ashes willplay to the wire on this, not wishing to say sayonarajust yet, and be hoping that the team that beat themin last year’s Div 1 GF will do them a favour today.Fitzroy should finish the year with a win against theUnicorns. The Lions haveshown plenty this season, butthere have been some lowpoints too. Premier C can belike this. It has been describedas the Crossroads section, with rich and poor oftencrossing paths and having their situations muddled.AJAX, sitting first or second all year, will take on OldEssendon. Coach Sheehy will have his final chance totry a few new tricks. Not a lot hinges on this result andan upset could be on the cards if experiments fail. TheBombers have some talented players, but so too dothe Jackers. It might be a goalfest if the weather suits.The decider is at Gordon Barnard, where OldCamberwell meets Rupertswood. The prize is a datewith the Nodders next week. The Wellers have provedtighter defensively, but Rupo has the stronger attack.The midfield schemers may well decide the fates ofthese teams, who will be both thinking that a fifthplaced finish is a waste of a season. Then again, thereteams below them that will feel similarly. This is ahard one for the visitors, methinks and I’m pickingthe Wellers.PREMIER C LAST ROUND PREMIER C RESERVERupertswood 2.6 6.11 9.15 14.18 (102)Monash Blues 1.1 8.1 11.3 14.7 (91)GOALS Rupertswood: L.

DIVISION 1Darren DawsonA FINAL ROUND OF THRILLSWhere do we start when talking about the highsand lows of a thrilling wrap up to the Division 1year? The final round was a microcosm of the homeand away season. All emotions were writ large.Disappointment? Try Peninsula and Williamstown,the latter of whom missed out on finals action bypercentage only. Survival against the odds? Howabout those Panthers, who produced their bestwin of the season when it mattered most. Elation?Whitefriars and North Old Boys – St Patrick’s wouldboth have been experiencing that feeling lastSaturday night. Uncompromising determination?Banyule, of course, who ground out a win over theirclosest challenger to maintain their remarkableunblemished record. And, finally…heartbreak!Who else could that be but Old Paradians, whohave been relegated despite being so competitivein so many of their games?Whitefriars had the luxury of knowing that theirfinals destiny was in their own hands, and theymade sure of a first semi-final berth with a hardfought14-point win over the Pirates. The Friarsgot on top early but it was only some inaccuracyfrom Peninsula in the first quarter that had theFriars ahead at the first break. However, in the2nd quarter Friars set up the victory with a greatdisplay in which strong tackling and quick ballmovement proved to be the difference. RowanMattinson was again controlling the ruckcontests while Daniel Tibaldi and Alan Garreffawere excellent at ground level. The third term wasan arm-wrestle, but Peninsula challenged againin the final term to drag the margin to within twogoals. However, the Friars had enough in the tankto maintain their advantage. For Peninsula, it wasa sad end to a season in which they had droppedonly four games after round 5.When Williamstown arrived at Bulleen Park,they realised the heavy conditions would not beconducive to a percentage-boosting win, so thefinal margin of 47 points was meritorious in thecircumstances. However, it would be nowherenear enough to overtake Friars. And the events atBundoora ensured that there would be no leapfroggingof NOBs. In all honesty, Willy’s away form(including massive defeats at Parkdale, Whitefriarsand NOBs) cost them a finals spot. Small forwardJames Wong booted seven for the CYs to snatcha win in the goal-kicking award, whilst BenNewman was in everything. For the Bullants, whowill be keen to quickly put this season behindthem, Michael Considine was all class.Old Mentonians were always going to turn up atComo with all guns blazing in a last-ditch effortto stay up.

third term meant OM would keep their end of thedeal, and NOB-SP did the rest at Garvey. For theRaiders, it was despair. Scores were all tied up atthe orange break, but NOBs had been the morethreatening of the two teams. They blew apartboth the game, and the Raiders’ hearts, in a sevengoal final term which delivered a deserved berthnext week. Old Paradians have plenty of youth towork with, and are well placed to bounce straightback. As for Old Geelong: what went wrong in thesecond half of the year?This weekend, all roads lead to SportscoverArena for what should be an exciting start to thefinals series. Despite playing on a relatively smallhome venue, Banyule are actually more suited togrounds with wider expanses, and should havetoo much run and carry,and too many options upforward for the Vultures.But like last week’s preview,it will be a tight, hard-fought affair. (This season’sresults: Ban d Park by 34 in R7; Ban d Park by 18in R18).The Friars and NOB-SPC face off in a first semiwhich really could go either way. NOBs’ huge awaywin over Friars last time has me leaning towardthe boys from Gillon. Overall, NOBs are a moreexperienced outfit, and this could be telling in thepressure-cooker finals atmosphere.

DIVISION 2Jonno NashDONE AND DUSTEDGlen Eira has done enough to capture the minorpremiership and a potential place in the grandfinal. There’s no silverware for this award, justbragging rights leading into the finals. A shakymonth of football has not undone their seasondominance from a side that was undefeated for alarge portion of the season. Eltham Collegians hassnuck into the final four in the last couple of weekswhile La Trobe University’s fairytale climb from Div3 will have to wait until next season. St John’s andTherry Penola are content to take out second andthird place respectively.Old Westbourne, after only winning one game forthe year, is in the relegation pit along with Aquinas,who has had to deal with some close defeats.Both sides will have to prove their wares in Div 3.Like most relegated sides, the most challengingprospect is retaining your talented key players,who may be persuaded to play football at a higherlevel else where. Let’s hope this isn’t the case forthese two teams.Eltham struck the first blow defeating TherryPenola away from home by 14 points. The Lionspulled away early before Eltham pushed themargin to their favour and held it for the remainderof the match. It was a pre-eminent finals previewwith fourth toppling third in a match where theforwards were prolific. Eltham’s Sabastian Ciavolabooted five in a strong forward display as Therry’sJake George snagged four. Michael Costello wasa solid contributor as too was Mark Farold, whokicked two goals. Sam Richardson was Collegiansbarometer. Put simply, when he had the ball greatthings happened. Who knows if the result will fallthe same way when these sides meet this week?Aquinas had to win to claw themselves out ofthe bottom two. Unfortunately, their fate restedon beating La Trobe University. La Trobe pushedaway in each of the quarters despite a spiritedreturn from Aquinas in the third quarter. However,any resurgence was quashed in the last with Unibooting six-goals to one to march away 63-pointvictors. Stuart Patten, in a masterful best on groundperformance, finished the match with eight goalsto his name. He’s performance ultimately provedto be the difference. Aquinas lacked forwardpower with no multiple goalkickers as LiamToohey (two goals) and David Harry had much oftheir opponents for the day.Glen Eira kept St Mary’s Salesian goalless inthe opening stanza to build a 64-point lead bythe final siren. Glen Eira continued to win eachquarter through the heroics of Justin King andBen O’Donnell. Glenn Boyd and King collectivelycontributed nearly half of their side’s score withnine goals. St Mary’s Cam Rose did all he could asJos Op’T Hoog was his team’s leading goalkickerwith three. With Glen Eira having 14 more scoringshots, the result could have been greater.St Johns nullified a determined Emmaus St Leosby 44-points. St Johns’ winning margin lookedset to explode in the third quarter until Emmauskicked six –goals to five in the last. Nicholas Poukihad four to his name as Leos Nic Robin was themajor goal scorer with three in a strong halfforward/midfieldrole. Darryn O’Connor playedhis best game to date in a best afield performancethat gave forwards Doug Carmichael and DarrynDick three goals each. The match was a tastefulintroduction to finals football for St Johns who aimto swipe at ladder leader Glen Eira.TODAYSelections in BOLDSEMI FINAL 2GLEN EIRA v ST JOHNSSEMI FINAL 1THERRY PENOLA v ELTHAM COLLEGIANS10 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran

Old Westbourne, through the efforts of GaryWalker and Scott Kidd, nearly clenched theirsecond victory before being overrun by SouthMelbourne Districts after halftime. Scores wereall but locked at the major break before SouthMelbourne booted seven goals in the thirdquarter. The final quarter was a stale mate. TroyWhiting came to life with four goals, as did JohnFerguson. South’s Seb Mahoney had four, but theday will be remembered for Toby Parish’s threegoals in a dominant performance.FINALS: Glen Eira v St Johns. It’s hard to go passthe kings of the jungle, Glen Eira. They’re top for areason but their form is still questionable. The bigstage of finals can rock anyone’s boat, includingthe ladder leaders. Thewinner advances to thegrand final. This timearound, at least, Glen Eirawill trump, but it could be a different story if thesetwo teams meet again on the grandest of stages.Glen Eira by 20 points.Therry Penola v Eltham Collegians. Last week’saffair was a dress rehearsal with both sides nowhaving a healhy gauge on their opponents. I’dexpect that given Eltham’s victory last week, theywould go into the match favourites. Their form hasbeen unquestionable and that’s why they’ll win bythree goals.DIVISION 2 LAST ROUND DIVISION 2 RESERVELa Trobe University 5.3 8.6 9.8 15.11 (101)Aquinas 2.1 2.6 4.7 5.8 (38)GOALS La Trobe University: S.

DIVISION 3Rich HummerstonFOUR PLAYWe play football for a number of reasons, someof us play to keep fit, others to keep in touchwith familiar foes. For many, just the illusion ofparticipating in finals is the very reason we slugout countless sessions on the training track, wearknock after knock to their seasoned torsos anddedicate our lives to our favourite pastime for6 months of the year. After 18 gruelling rounds,peppered with agonising losses and lamentablethrashings, finals football is upon us and for fivesides, the prospect of new silverware sittingproudly in the trophy cabinet this summer is astep closer to becoming a reality.If you subscribe to the belief that thumbing a sideto oblivion isn’t the most ideal lead up to a finalscampaign, then you’ll probably need to write offYarra Valley, as they absolutely annihilated Kew,in a result that had the Kew faithful hot underthe collar before the West Brunswick result wasknown. Likened to the current Port Adelaide outfit,Kew was smashed in all areas of the ground. Forthe Bush Rangers, Damien Pagan was sensationalwhile the Yeo brothers kicked 11 between them.The Gryphons concluded what has been adisappointing 6 weeks with yet another belowpar performance, going down to Albert Park by aneven 2 goals. Although considered a ‘dead rubber’,the match was played with lofty intensity andferocity. Dylan Muscat with 5 goals and NicholasMclennan capped off impressive seasons for theFalcons while Kye Cherian and a few of his matesstood up among a bleak bunch for Monash.You’ve got to feel for West Brunswick. In contrastto the preseason beliefs of the Div 3 following,they started in superb fashion, finding themselvesin the top 3 after 3 rounds. From there onwardshowever, we’ve been witness to their slow andsome would say inevitable demise as they findthemselves in unfamiliar territory next season inDivision 4 after going down to Uni High 47 points.Patrick “The Saint” John was invincible in a perfecthit out before finals as was Sam Payne. If I mayindulge myself for a moment, I’d like to offer mycondolences to the ever-gallant Magpies. Kudoson the season gentleman, and hopefully we’ll seeyou do the opposite of Lilydale next season.Elsternwick will undoubtedly lead a chorus ofcheers at Mt Lilydale’s demotion (for none otherthan their home ground) as they fell victimto arguably the most prolific home groundadvantage in the VAFA. Strangling Elsternwickfor the entirety of the match, Mt Lilydale laidclaims that they’ll be a dominant force nextseason in D4. Alister Stuart was sensational for theMountain Men as were most of his teammates.For Elsternwick, credit goes to the entire backlinewho owing to their inept midfield, were under thepump all day. As I did to West Brunswick, I offer mycondolences to Mount Lilydale, and on behalf ofDiv 4 clubs, beg that you implement some form ofdrainage over the summer.For those of you that remember the hit 90’svideo game ‘Mortal Kombat’ you’ll have anunderstanding on how amazing Prahran-Assumptions flawless season actually is. Saturdaycapped off a sensational, blemish free season forthe Four Blues and has them in excellent stead toclinch the flag in a month’s time. Winning by 75points is a feat in itself, when it’s against the clubthat will occupy the third rung at season’s end, it’ssomething else, certainly no word in my limitedvernacular can describe it. Peter Cristoforo didhis best to eat into his 14 goal deficit to AdamSleight by slotting 8 majors while old mate LukeGiansiracusa dominated all day. For Ivanhoe itTODAYSelections in BOLDQUALIFYING FINALYARRA VALLEY v IVANHOEELIMINATION FINALUHS-VU v MONASH GRYPHONS12 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - Get back in the game

was Ashleigh Close (7 goals) Paul Harris and EilanHealy who were bright lights among a dark day.Like most of the Div 3 following, I had pencilledHawthorn down to be enjoying the companyof Chadstone and Point Cook next year.They’d been in appalling form for the betterpart of the season and a stint in Division 4seemed as likely as an impending down turnin our ever-fruitful economy. However boastinga rejuvenated list, all proudly showing offGreek Islands tans that stood out among thepasty calves synonymous with Melbournefootballers, the Hawks put on a final quarterthat will undoubtedly be forever etched in thehistory of the proud club.Going into the last downby a couple of goals, theHawks led by the old firm inLuke Piccolo and skipper Rick Ogge dominatedto come away easy winners. After the game, itwas reported that the Power House presidentwas drafting an apology to West Brunswick whowill wear the ramifications of the House’s dismalperformance.Given that Ivanhoe and Yarra Valley only metseven days ago, it’d be impossible to tip againstYarra Valley while Uni High will bring an end toMonash’s once promising now mediocre season.DIVISION 3 LAST ROUND DIVISION 3 RESERVEUHS-VU 5.2 6.5 8.9 17.13 (115)West Brunswick 3.3 3.7 7.9 9.14 (68)GOALS UHS-VU: S.

DIVISION 4Simon FullerTHE REAL STUFF STARTS NOWThe home and away season has come to itsconclusion and the teams who have occupiedthe top four spots since round eight are still there(and in the same positions) two and a half monthslater. It sets up a fascinating first week of finals atVermont.Richmond Central had the Bulldogs at home and,with second spot up for grabs, depending on theother results, they were keen to put them awayearly. Peter McBrearty would have been frustratedwith the first quarter, as the Snakes registered tenminor scores for to go with their five goals. Thecoach would have been happier with the returnof skipper, Sean O’Connor, who kicked five. Afterextending the lead at half time, the marksmanshipfrom Central improved significantly in the secondhalf, with fifteen goals. Ricky ‘Cantstandya’Costanzo had his best game for the Snakes andBen Ryan, who has really finished the seasonwith a flourish, was at his dynamic best in themiddle. Mark Pozzuto, with his four goals, was thestandout for Point Cook.The Sharks knew they needed a massive winagainst Chadstone to have any hope of taking thedouble chance and Jon Edlich, Corey Cresswelland Kirk Lindsay obliged with a combined twentygoals. After a fairly competitive first term, Eleygot off the leash in the second and third quarters,piling on fourteen goals to three. The Sharksmanaged to put thirteen more majors on theboard in the final quarter to blow the marginout. Fairbanks helped himself to another bagfor Chaddy and Nick Boothman never gave up.Dave Bennett and Sam Thomas joined the majorgoalkickers as the best for Eley Park.With their two rivals recording massive wins, theRazorbacks managed to hold on to second withan eighty point win. After the uni jumped out toa comfortable early lead, the Demons fought backwell, to still be hanging around at the final break.Swinburne was able to show its class in the finalquarter, ramming ten goals through to finish withthe substantial victory they required. DamonGreen was terrific for the pigs up forward witheight and Phil Wild was BOG. Dan had five snagsfor Box Hill North.The X-Men headed up to Allard Park to take onNorth Brunswick and, like the other Division4 finalists, they ended up recording a big win.The SFX ressies got the day started on a highnote, winning their virtual elimination final andhanging on to fourth spot. In the firsts, it was overat quarter time, with the lead nearly out to fifty.While North was able to keep things even in thesecond and last stanzas, the damage was donein the first and the third, with the X-Men winningby 79 points. Lucas Day and Dwayne Scott led theway for the X-Men, while the coach, Chris Van Damwas magnificent. Kenneth Zuidema paced NorthBrunny with five and Simon Mair was a standout.The Tigers finished the season on a sour note,losing a thriller to the Cobras. Manningham ledall day, before a furious fightback by the Tigersnearly snatched the win. Scott McPherson hadanother great game with six goals to ensure theManningham faithful had something to cheerabout as they head into the offseason. SamWright did everything he could, but it was afrustrating end to a disappointing season forSouth Mornington.Finals football starts this weekend out at Vermontwith the second semi on Saturday, betweenSt Francis Xavier and Swinburne Uni. It will befascinating to see who controls the midfield battle,TODAYSelections in BOLDSEMI FINAL 2ST FRANCIS XAVIER v SWINBURNE UNIVERSITYSEMI FINAL 1RICHMOND CENTRAL v ELEY PARK SHARKS14 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY

with two of the absolute stars of the comp in AdamHyman and Dimitri Dimakopoulos responsible forproviding the drive for their respective sides. ChrisKilmartin and James Lees were the matchwinnersfor the uni last time and will demand someattention from the SFX coaching panel. At theother end, Ben Spencer is an obvious danger manfor the Swinburne defence and Lucas Day hasbeen in sensational form over the second half ofthe season. This should be a classic and the winnerwill be decided by the team who handles theintensity of finals footy the best. I’ll stick with theX-Men in a cliffhanger.Either Eley Park or Richmond Central’s season willbe over by Sunday evening and this also promisesto be a gripping encounter.Sam Thomas has been theSharks’ best in both theH&A matches. Dave Bennettwill be a tough matchup in the middle and MattCorstorphin has provided great drive off the halfback line. There are also several options in theEley Park forward line, with many Sharks kickinga bag at various stages this year. Seb Angus willbe expected to control the hitouts, ‘Irish’ O’Connoris a vital inclusion, Pike and Woodberry will beexpected to keep control of the backline and BenRyan is one of the form players of the competitionand could get a tag in the middle. It’s hard to pick awinner in this one, but I’ll go with the Snakes, withTraeger to kick a bag.DIVISION 4 LAST ROUND DIVISION 4 RESERVESwinburne University 6.4 10.9 15.13 25.18 (168)Box Hill North 1.3 7.6 10.9 13.10 (88)GOALS Swinburne University: D.

High flying forward, RichardWilkinson’s 3 rd quarter cameo for Old Scotch, wasnot enough to stop them from being steamrolledby Uni Blues. The Uni boys ended up winningby 85 points. St Bedes battled gamely againstCollegians, before being overrun in the 2 nd half.Old Xavs had a confidence and percentageboosting victory against Old Trinity.The race for fourth will be finalised this weekend.All three contenders, Melburnians, Blues and DeLa should be victorious, leaving Old Melburniansfifth and starting their ‘mad Monday’ this Monday.Uni Blacks propelled themselves into the topfour with a comfortable 55 point victory overMarcellin. Leigh Dadswell, whose dad we hopeis well, and Tom Oldfield with five goals, were thebest afield for the students.

Darren DawsonFTLOTGMILESTONESElsternwick’s Aaron Foster joined the club as a mature aged played in 1999 and is one of themost accurate goal kicker in recent years. After starting at Full Forward for the Seniors in thetwilight of his playing life has filled that position for the Reserves kicking almost 400 goals todate. Aaron has qualified for Life Membership of the club and has been a tremendous clubmaneach year.200150St.Bernards Chris Mitchell has been a popular and regular senior player since his debut as an 18year old in 1999(172 seniors, 25 reserves, 3 U/19s). Chris was a member of the 2002 “A” GradePremiership as well as playing in the 2000,03,04 losing “A” Grade grand final teams. He wasone of only 3 players at the club to play in all 4 grand finals. His father Gavin was an “A” Gradepremiership player, who started his career as a tough back pocket who rarely lost the one onone contest. Chris has since been a lively small forward who has been a regular goalkicker atsenior level. Loves a goal along with attempting and occasionally taking a goal square hanger.Rarely leaves the goal square these days and is quite often heard saying “just kick it to me” and“leave me one out”.Collegians Shura Taft has become one of the most important players at the Club and hasmanaged to play in a Premiership and has represented the VAFA with distinction. On manyoccasions Shura has been our key forward which is quite an achievement for his size. Shura’sability to kick big bags of goals on occasions has been amazing and a game last year againstOld Melburnian’s where he bagged 8 comes to mind. It has been a credit to Shura that he hasbeen able to manage his career whilst playing at the highest level with Collegians.

The gameswere virtually incident free and each providedmany thrilling passages of play.Section 1De La Salle started well but kicked inaccurately,which enabled the more direct Old Xaverians tohold a two point lead at the first change. In thesecond term, the more experienced and fresher OldXaverians took control of the match and with threeunanswered goals, took a twenty one point leadinto the half time interval. In the third quarter, thescoring rate was increased as the teams engagedin a virtual goal for goal battle. De La Salle, througha rearranged forward line gradually overtook theXaverian lead and by three quarter time, the lessfavoured side led by five points. The last quarterprovided a repetition of the third quarter play asthe lead fluctuated with each side scoring twogoals and two behinds. The closeness of the scoresbrought the large crowd to life as each act of playwas greeted vociferously.

At half time Carey held a twentytwo point lead and a close contest appeared likely.It was not to be, as Old Carey, who were stung intoaction by the vituperative and stentorian tones ofCoach, Ian England, responded with their strongsecond half effort.Congratulations go to Old Carey who provedthemselves to be Champions of the North Section.Nicholas Colbert from Old Carey was adjudged theBest and Fairest player in the Grand Final.Also recognized at the presentation ceremonywere the competition Best and fairest winner; MarkPietryk and the leading goal kicker Tim.

UNDER 19Michael CollinsNick DuxsonWhilst the four was set, the battle for the doublechance was conducted at Brindisi Street as St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers hosted Old Xaverians. Most teamsheading down to Mentone feel very uneasy andthis queasiness would have been heightened as theTigers stormed to two goal lead at the first break.However this was their last roar as Xavs got theirgame into gear and piled on five unanswered goalsin the second. They didn’t let up in the second halfrunning out comfortable 54 point winners. DanielIaucione’s seventh brought him his half centuryfor the year whilst Charlie Woodley continued hisoutstanding form this year. The Tigers were bestserved by Sebastian Faulkner and Joshua Herron.Whenever the two University teams meet braggingrights around the crescent are up for grabs. Blueswere coming off the bye and judging by theirperformance in the first quarter had decided to putthe queue in the rack and begin exam preparations.Six goals to nil and the Blacks never gave them a sniff.Blacks’ form over the past month had been sound asthey had been getting close to better teams withoutmanaging a victory. Jonathon Bunge snagged sevenfor the victors whilst Cameron Turner and HarrisonMcKenna were everywhere. Daniel Zambon and SamDalton tried to rally the Blues boys in the second halfbut they were never going to bridge the gap.Beaumaris kept their form strong going into the finalswith a solid win over Old Scotch. They got out to athree goal lead early in the match and were able tohold of a defiant Scotch. In a high scoring affair Fitzroydefeated Old Melburnians by 35 points. SebastianKremmerer finished off his season in spectacularfashion booting 9 goals and winning the PremierUnder 19 goal kicking with 62 majors. Toby Hudson-Bevege was magnificent for the Lions and managedto cap off his best on ground effort with 4 goals.This week: On Sunday at Sandringham the two VAFApowerhouse clubs meet to decide who will go straightinto the grand final. After the success of last year, DeLa Salle has performed above expectations and goneabout their work in a professional manner. The Xavshave always thought they were a better combinationthan last year. This is going to be a beauty but I’mgoing to swing the red and black way only becausethe bye hasn’t been kind to clubs this year.The first semi pits seaside rivals in St Bede’s MentoneTigers and Beaumaris against each other. I have beenvery buoyant about Beaumaris all year and after adisappointing loss to the Xavs last week, they will goin as favourites. Beauy for me.Todd BeamesTIME TO TAKE THEDANCE FLOORSECTION 2A dead rubber between finals contenders OldEssendon and Marcellin brought about match of theround, with the Dons securing a hard-fought, eightpointwin. Trailing by 24 points at three quarter time,Marcellin fought back through Matthew Molloy andAlex-Sean Ioannidis, but to no avail. James Shinglerand Jackson Marr were among the Dons’ best.Wooden spooners Old Ivanhoe won their secondmatch on the trot, getting over the Northern Bullantsby three goals. Bullants ruckman Nathan Parkesstarred, while Jay Phelan and Todd Beames wereagain solid contributors.Five goals apiece to Sam Stacker and OscarFairweather led minor premiers Old Trinity to amassive 123 point win over Old Camberwell. Trinityheld the ‘Wellers to just one behind in the first half,with Edward Weatherson dominant. Stuart Quinnfought valiantly in defeat for the disappointing OldCamberwell outfit.Ajax had no solution for Collegian’s riddle – BillyRiddle, who booted seven majors and led his side to athumping 18-goal win. The Lions piled on nine goalsto one in the opening stanza, with Chris Jesavelukand Toby Goodman dominant. Ajax ‘superboot’Richie Simon split the sticks four times from limitedopportunities, topping off a wonderful season infront of goal.SECTION 3A look at the week ahead…Semi Final 1 (3v4) St Kevins vsCaulfield GrammariansCaulfield and St Kevins have had different seasons.Caulfield began the season with a bang, winningtheir first nine games and moving into the mergeddivision undefeated. They were the early premiershipcontenders before a mid season slump saw themlose five of their next seven. St Kevins booked theirspot in the finals with a seven game winning streakthroughout the middle of the season.Caulfield and St Kevins have squared off twice thisyear, with each side taking a victory. The first gamewas way back in round 7 when an undefeatedCaulfield were too strong to win by 22 points.

Bradshaw (Caulfield)My Tip: St Kevins by 5 goals.Semi Final 2 (1v2) Werribee vs St BernardsWerribee have been the team to beat all year, losingtheir first game for the season last weekend, The‘Tigers’ have torn teams apart this year with theirrun and spread. St Bernards on the other hand arethe more working class team, fighting out everycontest. They have just kept plugging away and withconfidence seemingly endless, they are a genuinecontender.They have faced off twice this season with bothteams tasting victory. The first game was back inround 6, Werribee being too strong at home winningby 16 points. In the second game, just last week, StBernards came from behind to record an eight pointwin. It is hard what to take from that game, with bothteams knowing they were to face each other a weeklater.Players to watch: Mikhal Secoulidis, Chris Molivasand Bol Kolang (Werribee)James Weir, David Wall andTODAYSelections in BOLDPREMIERSSEMI FINAL 2DE LA SALLE v OLD XAVERIANSSEMI FINAL 1ST BEDES/MT v BEAUMARISU19 SECTION 2SEMI FINAL 2WERRIBEE v ST BERNARDSSEMI FINAL 2ST KEVINS v CAULFIELD GRAMMARIANSU19 SECTION 3SEMI FINAL 2COLLEGIANS v OLD ESSENDONSEMI FINAL 2OLD TRINITY v MARCELLINU19 NORTHSEMI FINAL 2BANYULE v THERRY PENOLASEMI FINAL 2BULLEEN TEMPLESTOWE v LA TROBE UNIU19 SOUTHSEMI FINAL 2MAZENOD v OLD XAVERIANSSEMI FINAL 2ST MARY’S SALESIAN v MONASH BLUESJack Gay (St Bernards)My Tip: Werribee by 2 goalsNORTHFirstly, to the upset of theround - an inspired Whitefriars outfit ended theirseason on a high with a 20-point victory, endingIvanhoe’s season. The Friars led by 11 points at thefinal change, and it was the usuals – David Blewonski,Dominic Chambers and Michael Nitas who led thecharge. Ivanhoe was well served by Harry Robinson(four goals), but will be ruing the fact they aren’tplaying next week.Therry Penola had to knock off second-placed LaTrobe Uni at home, and that they did, recording acomprehensive 44-point win. The Lions booted fivegoals to two in the first term and never looked back,Matthew Jones and Hayden Rowe booting four eachfor the home side. Bart Thompson kicked three indefeat for La Trobe.A more-than-solid 10 goal effort from BulleenTemplestowe forward James Hodson allowed theBullants to cruise to a 20-goal win over St Leos.The Bullants booted no less than seven goals eachquarter, Adam Luaria chipping in with six handymajors.

UMPIRESNIGHT OF NIGHTSThe VAFAUA’s big Pre-finals dinner was heldlast Monday night at the MCG Members’ DiningRoom and once again was a resounding success.To attain a record crowd of over 350 members andguests was a sensational effort by our PresidentLuke Holmes and his band of assistants. Thecrowd was entertained by former Richmond greatin Matthew Richardson.As well as the guest speaker being a highlight, ourmajor awards for 2011 were presented as follows:Golden Whistle Award (provided by the AFL andis presented as an encouragement award to anumpire who is identified as having the potential toumpire at the highest level.) – Andrew Heffernan.Most Improved Field Umpire – Andrew Green.Most Improved Boundary Umpire – RobertHamilton.Most Improved Goal Umpire – Matt Dervan.Young Achiever Award (presented to an umpireunder the age of 20 who regularly attends trainingand meetings, shows improvement throughoutthe year and mixes well with the umpiring group.)– Kit Harvey.Best First Year Umpire (presented to a first yearumpire who has natural umpiring ability, a desireto learn and a commitment to the umpiringgroup.) – Josh Prince.Andy Carrick Award (presented to a member ofthe VAFA Umpires Association who does not reachthe higher sections but still performs admirablyeach week throughout the season in the spirit ofthe late and great loveable rogue Andy Carrick) –Anthony Simpson.Bob Dunstan Award (This award is named inhonour of Mr Robert Dunstan OAM who is a LifeMember of the VAFA Umpires Association andumpired over 800 games in the VAFA. The awardis presented to a member of the VAFA UmpiresAssociation who provides exceptional service tothe Association – Sean Scully senior .Ten Year Service Awards – Luke Holmes, RobParry & Grant Wardrop.This year we had no nominations for LifeMembership.Thank to St.Bedes/Mentone Tigers Luke WintleSteve McCarthy & Cam Davidson& Jack Hellier, along with Uni Blues Jack Wattsand Collegians Shura Taft for their fantasicallyentertaining interviews.Once again, a fantastic night was had by all.Way Out WestOur piece on the VAFAUA’s budding rock star JeffMann was met with some interest and amusementfrom an anonymous Western Australian readerlast week who contacted us with a couple of littlepearlers.Earlier this year a few of the WAFL umps travelledto Victoria for the weekend and bumped intoManny busking at Flinders Street Station. Hehas unique ways to say he’s playing in front of a bigcrowd. 1) Turn up where there is already a crowdand just start playing. 2) Tell people they canget out of a cold night’s training if they turn up!But I suppose you have to give him credit. A coupleof years’ back he won an award with the WAFL andgave possibly the worst speech ever seen. He wasa bumbling, nervous wreck. Then he took a publicspeaking course and now he’s on stage singing.Great turnaround!And in relation to one of our other new arrivalsfrom the west, is it true that (continuing in thetrain stations theme), Greg Rolfe proposed to hisnow wife at the train station on the way to a FooFighter’s concert! It’s still one of the more bizarrestories our contact has heard.Thanks to the VolunteersAs the year comes to a close, it’s now time forthose many, many club volunteers to put their feetup and have a well-earned rest. We’d especiallylike to acknowledge those who go out of theirway to look after the visiting umpires each week.All clubs have these great people and there aretoo many to mention, but we’d like to pass onspecial thanks to a man who has done this role forlonger than anyone can remember – Lou Belli atAquinas. Lou makes all visitors to the club verywelcome before and after the game and the workhe does behind the scenes is immeasurable. Lou,we appreciate you! And all the others out therejust like you. Was fantastic to see some of you atlast Monday’s dinner.58 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011“Umpiring is Everyone’s Business”

UNDER 18Ben HodgesThe Snow Dogs finished off a bit of a disappointingyear on a high note last weekend, when they camefrom behind and snatched a draw against finalscontender Werribee. The Snow dogs were downall day and seemed to be out of it early in the thirdquarter. To their credit they fought back kickingfour goals to one in the last to shock the tigersand nearly steal victory in the final minutes of thegame! For St Bernards, Michael Hughes kicked 3while Daniel Thompson did the job. It was a greatcredit to a team who seemed to struggle at times,but also showed promise at times. The Snowdogswill be back and ready to go next year looking tobring in some good youngsters! For the Tigers,there season is not over, starting finals this weekagainst the Krushers. The Tigers will be lookingto find some of their earlier form in what will bea cracker of a game! For Werribee, Dillon Taylorkicked 4 and played his part while Joel Patty didthe job for the Snow dogs.Rupertswood beat UHS at Sunbury in adisappointing last game. The boys from Rupoopened up the game kicking seven goals to onein the first quarter to show their strength and putsome doubt into Williamstown who they face intheir Second Semi final. The Sunbury boys arelooking the goods at the right time of the year andwill be hoping they can get over the new boys onUNDER 18 LAST ROUNDRupertswood AFC 7.4 11.5 16.9 18.12 (120)UHS-VU/Flemington 1.1 2.4 4.5 5.6 (36)GOALS Rupertswood AFC: M.

The rest of the game was played on goodterms with both teams playing well at differentpoints in the game. The score line didn’t quitereflect how both teams played and their efforts.Hopefully the UHS boys will come back nextyear and maybe it could be their year with somequality players growing into the new competition.For UHS the big Shaq played a good game,helping the team where needed while BenjaminAnderson was best on. For Rupertswood they takeon Williamstown in what should be great game atSt Bernards College. Rupertswood will be lookingfor the likes of Mitch Wilson, Damon Cerini andJason Dunn to play their role along with everyoneelse in this years finals series.In the last game Trent Dimitriou stole theSharpshooter award from team mate JaydenCostello in their round 18 mauling of a haplessTherry Penola. The first quarter saw Willy kickeight goals to one, and looked a very solid unitleading into the finals. Therry Penola, despitehaving a few good wins, might be glad the year isover and they can rebuild for next year where theywill be looking to make some inroads into the tophalf of the competition. For the Lions, Tim Gumleydid his part for the side while Sam Calafiore alsoplayed well. For Williamstown, they look to nextweeks clash with the all conquering Rupertswoodside, and will be looking to make a big impact intheir first finals series. Congratulations must alsogo to the very powerful unit of Trent Dimitriouand Jayden Costello, who looked on track for bothplayers to win the Coleman, unfortunately Trentkicked a lazy eight goals to steal victory fromhis partner in crime. It is a massive effort for oneplayer to kick 58 goals but for another player in thesame team to kick 50 is a great achievement bythe new boys.TODAYSelections in BOLDSEMI FINAL 1OAKLEIGH AFC v WERRIBEE AFCSEMI FINAL 2RUPERTSWOOD AFC v WILLIAMSTOWN CYMS60 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2011SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
