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.
