1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
I have been here for a few years now but it never
ceases to amaze me the numbers of umpires
required to fi ll all our needs each weekend. There
is an incredible amount of hard work that goes on
just to allocate the umpires, let alone coaching
and reviewing each match. This is a twelve month
a year operation that costs the Association in
excess of $680,000 last year.
One weekend each year we show our support
to the umpires at both the AFL and community
football level. This initiative was instigated by the
VAFA’s very own Williamstown CYMS and we ask
all the players, club offi cials and spectators to
acknowledge their eff orts this weekend.
Prior to the 2:00 matches, the players from
the competing clubs and the players from the
reserves match will acknowledge the umpires by
standing together as they walk onto the arena.
Both club captains and coaches will shake the
umpires’ hand on behalf of their respective teams
and the toss will be made.
The VAFA is without peer as the leading
developmental competition in Australia
providing numerous opportunities at the AFL and
VFL level. Our two shining lights at the AFL are
fi eld umpires Chris Donlon and Simon Meredith.
Chris umpired the 2011 AFL Grand Final and
Simon the preliminary and semi-fi nals. They
umpired together in last Wednesday’s Anzac Day
Blockbuster between Collingwood and Essendon.
At the VFL level in 2011, the VAFA provided a fi eld
umpire and both goal umpires in the Grand Final
whilst we were represented at the TAC Grand Final
with a boundary umpire. Over the last ten years
we have sent 18 umpires to the elite programs.
What a tremendous pathway for our umpires,
who know that if they have ambitions in this area,
the VAFA will send them down the right track.
We can all play our part in ensuring that we get
the best quality umpires who feel safe when
they walk on the ground each weekend. Sure,
we need crowd involvement but there is a line in
our competition that everyone knows and only
a few cross. Umpires often speak to me saying
how the water boys from the clubs always off er
them a drink, or the trainers assist if there are any
emergency requirements.
I was at South Melbourne Districts last weekend
when the goal umpire went down with a calf
and was obviously struggling. Immediately their
trainer was there to assist and normal goal umpire
who was relieved of his duties for one week
off ered his services. We have a great community
of people who are always willing to help.
The person who occasionally lets the team down is
the one who has them most eyes trained on them
and that is the coaches. They are the match day
leader at their club and iit can be disappointing
that we apply strenuous rules to our players
on the fi eld yet the ones who occasionally lack
discipline are the ones not even in the battle.
From my observations those coaches who get
involved with the umpires quickly lose the respect
of their players on the ground and the supporters
who view their irrational behaviour.
The new coaches at AFL level that are in control
of their emotions will be the ones that succeed.
Those who look to blame others or act in a
frustrated aggressive manner will not last.
At the end of the game let’s all join together for
a celebratory and recognise the great eff orts that
our umpires do in providing a game of football to
our 5,500 players that suit up each week.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
No last minute heroics were necessary in R2,
with Dame Fortune having smiled on some
well before fi nal sirens sounded around the fi ve
Premier venues. There was no absence of drama,
however, as the largest margin of the afternoon
was 25 points – at the Snakepit where St Bernard’s
recovered from a half time defi cit against the Ts
and at Glenhuntly where Old Carey maintained its
half-time grip on the Fieldsmen.
University Blues went down to Xavs at Toorak
Park by an even three goals. It trailed by six goals
at quarter-time and had the Red and Blacks been
more judicious with their ball-use, it might have
been ten or more. Matthew Handley, Josh Agius
and Pat Ambrose dominated the opening stanza
as the Varsity, pressing hard, left themselves
exposed to the fast break and paid the price. Blues
had a better second term and an even better third,
as Xavs reverted to the “entitlement” football
that they played in the fi nal six quarters of their
2011 campaign. Blues coach Fergus Watts rated
his team a chance at the lemons, but despite a
breeze at their backs, it was the home team who
dominated for most of the quarter, with Tom Carey
marking and kicking the sealer as the clock ticked
into time-on. Josh Caldow, who had a summer run
with Xavs, booted four goals in a strong display for
Blues, Charles Shaw did everything asked of him
and Jack Watts was in the sort of form that had
plenty asking why his opponents would kick it
anywhere near him.
Dean Anderson and Mick Dwyer have had a
strong association through Big V football, but
they were in opposing dugouts as the Cardinals
hosted the Brindisians. In R1, each team’s result
had been decided at the last and this game looked
a beauty. Anderson and his co-conspirator Stuey
Powell won plaudits for Scotch’s R1 eff ort and
again they fl owed when the Cards trotted out to
a handy lead. But there’s something about those
Seasiders that prevents them giving in. They came
back to make it a contest. Again, Scotch kicked
away and again the Tiges roared back, before Rich
Eva kicked an impossible goal and the home team
fi nally fi nished the business it had begun. Hamish
Dick was the unanimous choice as BOG. The
Hammer has been at his best playing in defence
and is combining well with a backline that seems
settled and assured. Shane Neaves gave plenty
in the ruck, while Lachy Hill again showed some
star quality. For the Tigers, who just don’t quit,
Patrick Kean lived up to his coach’s pre-season
wrap, while Michael Curcio and George Rowlands
provided strong avenues to goal.
It was hardly a goalfest at Glenhuntly, which
might not have bothered the Caulfi eld faithful
had the Fieldsmen kicked a few more themselves.
One goal before the long break was not a great
start and while the home guard stood fi rm
against the invasion, the counter-thrust was not
eff ective. Holding the onslaught to nine goals
on a pleasant afternoon seemed a wasted eff ort
when the Fieldsmen managed only fi ve. Of the
visitors, Panther debutant Nick Richardson had
his admirers and then there was always the class
of Cam Howat, Ben Smithwick and Julian Rowe.
For the vanquished, Tim Nixon shone in just his
second senor outing, and the inexperienced Ben
Price stood tall.
Collegians managed a home win against De
La Salle for the fi rst time since 2008. With their
premiership fl ag fl uttering in the breeze, after a
sold-right-out lunch, it wasn’t a bad day all round
for the Lions. Nick Sautner kicked four, while at the
other end, Stu Inglis was miserly. Charlie Simmons
was prominent in dispatches. The premiers
began the better and held DLS at arm’s length
all afternoon. Jake Gotch and Aaron Shields were
grand midfi elders, the youngster Hugh Nicholson
also impressed and Frankie Pickett looked
ominous at times.
After a six goal second term haul, Old Trinity held
the lead at St Bernard’s as the players headed for
the half-time homily. That sort of behaviour has
not traditionally been tolerated by the Snow Dogs,
and the home team responded with a blistering

nine goal third stanza that left the Greens
fl oundering. The Bernies had eleven goalscorers,
Andrew Merrington and Alex Singleton booting
four each, while Andrew Ramsden nailed fi ve for
the Ts, assisted by Matt Brown with four. Singleton
was consensus best afi eld, with strong eff orts from
Andy van Meel and Michael Sullivan. Trinity will
rue its third term, though the eff orts of newbies
Will Oldfi eld and Nick Chamberlain will have been
appreciated by those looking for positives on the
drive home.
TODAY: Uni Blues meet Caulfi eld Grammarians at
Elsternwick for the Kanis Cup. The Fieldsmen will
need to be near their best to topple the Varsity
on the Sportscover expanse, though it will be
interesting to watch the press on the big ground.
Collegians, loaded with class all over the ground,
should beat Old Trinity at the Trott. De La Salle
hosts the Brindisians and expect a close one. These
are always hard-fought contests and there will be
a fair bit riding on this game. Carey is back home
for the fi rst time this year and Bernies drop by to
see if they can stay unbeaten. Methinks this will be
a tough assignment. The young Old Scotch meets
its bogey side Old Xaverians and if ever the time
appeared ripe for an upset, this is it. Then again,
it seems we’ve been saying this for quite a while.

B
After two rounds we have three undefeated
teams, three teams without a win, and the middle
four sitting at one-and-one. Interestingly, none
play within their own group today, so we may
have to wait another week or so to get a clearer
picture of the form line, particularly that middle
set. Last week’s results had none of round one’s
cliff -hangers, in fact a couple of blow-outs seem
to have put paid to the boa-like constriction of the
ladder that has been a trademark of the Premier
B competition in recent years. Mind you, it is only
round three.
Oakleigh struggled to match it with the much
improved Sharks at Banksia Park, who made best
use of the ball in the fi rst half where the game was
eff ectively won. Unable to muster a multiple goal
scorer, the Krushers fell further behind at each
change as Beauy full back Lachie Boyd punched
and repelled at will, along with Alex Bennett
across half-back. On-baller Tom Dean was again
infl uential, while the irrepressible Scott Gower
snagged a lazy fi ve. The Oaks had solid workhorses
in brothers Tim and Steve Doherty along with new
guy Kev Holden, but needed a chop out pretty
much all across the ground, going down by a
disappointing 77 points.
Another weighty scoreline was heaped upon Old
Ivanhoe at T H King Oval as St Kevin’s delivered a
methodical, high pressure demolition to run out
92 point victors. With Weatherly and Fragiacomo
amputated from the forward line, the Hoes are
still twitchy as they adjust to their new setup
but dominated the centre clearances early and
showed improved delivery into Nick Butler (5)
nonetheless. The tri-colour’s classy half-back line
rebounded well however, Parkes was brilliant up
forward with six majors while ‘Filthy’ Phil Edgar
(5) crumbed everything and was crucial at the
stoppages. Patrick Aughton shone in his 150th
club game, and the Skobber’s round six shootout
against Beauy is beginning to loom large.
The ‘Bees travelled to Brighton Beach and
despite some injury woes from their bruising
round one encounter with St Kevin’s (to wit, the
loss of Matt Palmington with a badly broken
forearm), were barely bothered by the ‘Tonners
who were, according to one pundit, “insipid and
embarrassing.” Undisciplined play along with poor
misses in front of goal were costly early for the
home side, however Ben Austen was solid at half
back and young Ben Jarick contested valiantly in
the ruck. For the ‘Bees, Chris Molivas kicked six and
fl ew the fl ag for a new wave of under 19s coming
through, ably assisted by Schibeci (3), Huxtable
and Alex Taylor as they romped through the
second half to infl ict Old Brighton’s worst home
defeat in recent memory; going down by nine
goals.
Hamilton lad and former North Ballarat TAC
and VFL player Jandre Slabbert displayed an
exceptional work-rate kicking seven for Uni Blacks
in a tight battle of wills with Old Melburnians at
University Oval. The two new senior coaches
pitted game plans in an intense encounter that
belied the end result; Blacks were somewhat
erratic in front of goal compared to OM’s greater
effi ciency, yet managed to lead by eight points
at three quarter time. Grammar wrested back the
lead early in the fi nal term, albeit briefl y, but the
Uni lads turned on the afterburners to kick away as
OMs struggled with injuries to James Beaumont
and Nat Nixon. Al Armstrong was creative and
unswerving in his delivery to the OMs forward
line, while Blacks big man Andrew Willingham
gained the ascendancy in the ruck to help build
their momentum.

McKinnon Reserve reminded us just how contrary
this side can be. Old Haileybury’s high marking
was a feature, along with their relentless pressure
forcing numerous turnovers; Lockwood, Millard
and Nicolopoulos (6) amongst their shining lights.
Ludski and Routman were best for the Jackas who
showed fl ashes mid-way through the third kicking
the last six goals of the quarter, but the Bloods
steadied and kicked away in the fi nal term to
salute by 56 points.

Thursday’s GHL at the selection table. The Hoers
continue to improve but won’t outrun the young
Tigers at Chelsworth Park, and watch for an
intriguing battle at Gary Smorgon Oval as the fast-
fi nishing Jackas push the in-form Blacks right to
the bell. An injury-ravaged Old Melburnian side
will struggle this week against St Kevin’s, while
the Bloods should account for the Krushers at
Scammell Reserve.

6 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
PREM
IER
C
After just two rounds of Premier C in 2012, we’ve
already got an outright ladder leader, with two
teams yet to open the account at the other end.
And with a few games already being decided by
less than a kick this season, it looks like we’re in
for another exciting year.
Monash had their fi rst game at Frearson in 2012
and were able to celebrate the 200th game of
their champion, ‘Scalpel’ Hickey, in fi ne style
with a convincing win. Hickey, playing at half
forward, was one of the Blues’ best, in a vintage
performance. Another standout for Monash
was fi rst year ruckman, Joe Cosgriff , who has hit
the ground running in 2012. Cosgriff provided
the Blues with strong pack-marking, clean
skills below the knees and an impact on the
scoreboard with three majors. Monash kicked
into gear in the second and were never seriously
challenged after that, registering a 77-point win.
Rory Lynch was solid for the Rovers down back
and Jack Sperring was a welcome inclusion.
In a contest between two early fl ag favourites,
the Wellers and the Vultures battled to a
stalemate at Gordon Barnard Reserve. It was the
home side that seemed to have the ascendancy
for most of the day, with Parkdale digging in
with a big fi nal quarter and the Wellers’ defence
working manfully to salvage the draw, as their
opponents had most of the play towards the
end. Claye Tobin bagged four for the Vultures in
an impressive display, while young gun, Jackson
Eade, managed the same for Old Camberwell.
Banyule headed over to the Grammar to face
PEGS, in another game that went right down to
the wire. The Bears would be disappointed that
their handy 22-point halftime lead evaporated
in the third stanza, with the home side getting
their noses in front when it counted and
securing their fi rst win of the season. Mark
Wilson continued his hot early season form for
PEGS, with four goals. Despite the loss, Banyule
would be heartened by the performances of
Tim Cusack and Jack Langford, who were again
amongst their best.
The early pace-setters for the season had
another quality performance at Salesian, with
Rupo securing a 26-point win. Leigh Brennan
was a constant threat for the Nodder defence,
with four goals, on the back of his ten in Round 1.
Matt Quigley and Lachlan Baddeley have started
the season on fi re for Rupo, whose dominance of
the contest in the fi rst three quarters allowed the
hosts to push the lead out past six goals. To their
credit, Mazenod, led by Francis Reed and Steven
Oldman, never stopped fi ghting and were able
to win the last quarter. Still 0-2 is not where
Mazenod would have wanted to fi nd themselves
after two weeks and will be desperate to get
their season back on track in R3.
Fitzroy opened their account for the season
at home against Marcellin. With the visitors
getting the aid of a strong breeze in the fi rst
quarter, ‘Bizza’ Birrell was responsible for several
Marcellin forays forward, but they squandered
a few opportunities, allowing the Roys to take
a narrow lead. Jono Blanch was given the run-
with gig on Luke Ablett, and it was a great battle
all day. With Fitzroy making better use of the
wind-advantage in the second term, they took
a 19-point lead at the main break. In the third

quarter, Augustin got on top in the middle
for Marcellin and Tom Jones was repelling
most of the Fitzroy forward entries, with the
Roys kept goalless for the quarter. As good
teams do though, the Lions responded to this
challenge, with Ablett getting on top for the
home side and Matt Bortolotto doing the same
for the Eagles. Steve McPherson would have
extremely frustrated by some undisciplined
play by the Eagles, with two 25m penalties
ultimately proving very costly, as Fitzroy hung
on for a 16-point win. James O’Reilly was again
outstanding for the Roys and it looks like away
team wins at Brunswick Street will be as rare as a
Florentine steak in 2012.
Today, Old Camberwell heads to Monash and I
think while it’s never easy to get a win at Frearson,
the Wellers will do enough. Rupo puts on the
white shorts for the fi rst time in 2012 against an
impressive Vultures outfi t and I think Parkdale
will end Rupertswood’s perfect start. Marcellin
hosts Mazenod at the College in a crunch game
for both teams, which I think will result in an
Eagles’ win in young forward, Nic Crosbie’s, 50th
game for the club. PEGS are aga in at home,
though this time I think Fitzroy will knock them
off . The Rovers continue their nomadic start to
the season with a trip to Banyule and the Bears,
stung by their close loss in R2 will get back on
the winners list.

Caulfi eld Grammarians smothered Old Carey in the fi nal stanza to win their Premier Thirds contest last week. Reigning premier Old Xaverians accounted for Uni Blues in similar fashion, kicking away in the fi nal term to win comfortably. Old Trinity got home against St Bernard’s by a goal, courtesy of straighter shooting. Collegians were never in trouble against De La Salle, booting in the fi rst stanza almost the equivalent of the Sallians’ full-time score.
In PB3, Dan Anthony booted eleven and led Old Brighton to a massive win over Oakleigh. St Kevin’s beat Uni Blacks comfortably, while AJAX edged Northern Blues on the back of six from Dan Sandler. Old Xaverians beat Old Melburnians by 28 points after a tight fi rst half.
In PC3, Mazenod beat Mentonians, while Shelley Fulton’s fi ve helped the Roys home over Whitefriars. Banyule beat Marcellin and St Kevin’s beat Old Camberwell.

Last season, Peninsula was 1-4 after fi ve rounds.
On refl ection, it was this sluggish start to the
campaign which ultimately cruelled the Pirates’
fi nals chances, as they would only lose four
matches thereafter. It is obvious that Peninsula
are in no mood to again give the competition a
head start, winning their initial two matches by
89 and 88 points respectively. The win last week
was easily the more impressive of the two: the
Pirates thrashed a North Old Boys – St Patrick’s
team who themselves would have been banking
on a fl ying start to the season. Make no mistake.
The trip down to Mt Eliza will this year will prove
to be the most daunting for all teams in this
division. NOBs had no answer to the goal-kicking
power (again led by the familiar fi gures of Shaun
Payze and Jim Coughlin) and experienced
midfi eld grunt of the Pirates, particularly in the
fi rst half when the visitors could only manage
two goals.
Another year, another spanking for Williamstown
out at Friar Park. Whitefriars well and truly pulled
down the pants of the CY’s, ending up massive
113-point winners. Rob Petracca made light of
opposition attempts to tag him, sparking the
midfi eld and booting seven majors. Ryan Storey
was outstanding in defence, and Jean Daou was
once again the best big man on the ground.
Friars had a good spread of eleven goal-kickers.
Williamstown will quickly need to arrest a serious
loss in form and confi dence which has already
seen them sucked into the relegation zone.
Old Mentonians, in the fi rst of four “trial” home
games at Mordialloc, once again took control
in the second term. The Panthers piled on 7-2
whilst keeping St John’s scoreless. Best for OMs
were Cam Duncan, Ben Johnson and Nick Imlach
on the back line, Tim Wigney and Sam Johnson
on the ball and Luke Hull up forward.
At their newly-renovated Como Park home, Old
Geelong got on the board with what turned
into a comfortable four-goal victory over the
Monders. It could have been game over at
quarter-time but for OGs poor kicking for goal
(5-9), and it was this waywardness which allowed
Ormond to work their way back into the match
after half-time. But, led by Luke Duthie and Trent
Bond, the Oggers held fi rm to prove they will be
no push-overs this year.
It was gratifying to at last see a close contest.
Glen Eira and MHSOB fought out a low-scoring
battle at Packer, which fell the Unicorns’ way
by three points. The Saints will be cursing their
wastefulness in front of goal: up by nine points at
half-time, their score of 4-11 suggested the lead
should have been greater, and this ultimately
cost them dearly.
Today’s game of the round sees the Pirates
set sail for Donvale to take on the Friars. It
promises to be quality match-up between two
heavyweights of the competition. As I stated
earlier, Peninsula have done little wrong thus far
and I am tipping them to continue their hot early
form to down the Friars by 8 points in a real arm-
wrestle. By 5pm this evening, Old Mentonians
should be the only other undefeated team. Back
at Keysborough and facing an Ormond team
who are giving off mixed messages at present,
the up and about Panthers will account for
Ormond by 4 goals.

Last season, St John’s upset Glen Eira in the
Division 2 grand fi nal, so today the Saints will be
looking to exact some small measure of revenge
on their conquerors. However, despite Glen Eira’s
improved form last week, I expect JOCs to be too
strong at home. St John’s by 15 points. At Gillon
Oval, MHSOB face NOB-SP and won’t the hosts
be smarting from last week’s humiliation? With
the lady-folk of the club watching on, expect the
NOBs to bounce back and comfortably put away
the Unicorns by 30 points.
Although Williamstown are struggling at the
minute, and in unfamiliar territory at the foot of
the ladder, a visit to the Fearon is never an easy
one for opposition clubs. Old Geelong’s bona
fi des will be severely tested by a CYs team eager
to get their fi rst four points for the season. And
although the Oggers are looking more resilient
this year, I am plumping for Willy at home by 14
points.

While the opening round of the season often
dispels the rumours and innuendo that snowball
during the pre-season, more often than not,
the results create more questions that answers.
Questions about the current economic climate
and the decision to paint the picket fence in ivory,
off -white or bone make way for far more pressing
issues. Was the Bulleen Temp result a fl uke? How
could La Trobe kick only one goal? What makes
the Ham and Salad Roll at East Caulfi eld Reserve so
incredibly delicious?
Round 2, away from the hype and skewed results
of the opening round, off ers arguably the fi rst
accurate outlook on how the season will unfold.
Kicking 11 goals more than their solitary goal
from last week wasn’t enough for La Trobe as they
went down to their maiden counterparts in South
Melbourne by 16 points at Lindsay Hassett Oval.
With both sides determined to right the wrongs
of last week’s shellackings, it was the Bloods who
drew fi rst blood through Seb Mahoney and would
subsequently lead from post-to-post despite some
inaccurate kicking in the fi rst and third stanzas. Best
for South Melbourne was Elliot Costello and Joseph
Foley, likewise for the students David Hacker and
Jack McMeel with his four majors impressed for the
students.
Unsubstantiated reports have surfaced that after
last week’s shock shellacking, High St and its
surrounding shopping strips put the Prahran-
Assumption players on notice with a strict curfew.
The publicans would only serve soft drink to the
players; the restaurants would only cook meals
laced in protein and the local Neighbourhood
Watch patrolled the streets, ensuring anyone
that wears a Prahran-Assumption jumper wasn’t
out frolicking past 9:00pm. While the rumours
are probably untrue, Prahran’s 79 point hiding of
Emmaus St Leo’s is not. Adam Sleight was simply
sensational with 8, aided by Ryan Costin’s sublime
delivery. For St Leo’s Phillip Carey and Anthony
Smith with 5 goals stood tall.
The Turtles didn’t off er Monash the same warm
welcome to Division 2 that South Melbourne
extended the week before, accounting for the
Gryphs comfortably in a fi erce aff air at Eltham
Secondary College. Eltham applied the pressure
from the fi rst horn, exploiting Monash’s weaknesses
in all corners of their huge home ground (I’m told
is only a mere 3 metres shorter than the MCG!)
Sabastian Ciavola was once again too strong for the
Monash defence, snagging six in the process while
Samuel was instrumental in the Eltham engine
room. For Monash, Stuart Heppell in his fi rst game
impressed and Mark Tapscott stood out among an
average bunch.
In a battle of the R1 surprise packets, Bulleen
Templestowe reaffi rmed its intentions to bounce
straight back up to Division 1 with a resounding
win over St Mary’s Salesian, defeating the Saints
by 124 points at the leafy Ferndale Park. While the
Saints remained tenacious to the fi nal siren, the
highly drilled Bulleen Templestowe proved too
superior. The Bullants jumped straight out of the
blocks piling on the fi rst nine majors of the game,
building an unassailable lead in the process. Greg
Williams was outstanding at the clearances for the
Bullants, while Michael Pace ensured the ball didn’t
pass his heavily guarded half backline. For the
Saints, Samuel Autio wreaked havoc on the Bulleen
defence and Mitchell Smith did his best to reduce
the margin.
Coming off contrasting opening rounds, Old
Paradians delivered the upset of the round,
knocking off Therry Penola by 25 points at home.
The opening two stanzas were closely fought with
both sides utilising the handy breeze, it wasn’t

until the third term when Old Paradians married
the gale with a relentless attack on the pill, and
superb skills from the stoppages, killing the contest
in the process. While Therry had their chances in
the last, inaccurate kicking ensured they would go
into round 3 with a record of 1 and 1. Coach David
Boundy was instrumental when it mattered for
the home team, chipping in with two majors and
Paul Turner was best afi eld. For the losing side, Ben
Harding toiled all day in the ruck and Matt Lyon
pleased the Paradian faithful with three sausage
rolls.
While I’m more confi dent to off er my predictions
this week, my fi nal decisions are all laced with
apprehension and uncertainty. Nonetheless, here
they are.
Old Paradians should continue to keep Emmaus St
Leos winless; Bulleen Temp will continue to make
a push for instant promotion and should punish
an over-confi dent Monash. Therry will re-join the
winning fold with a win over the Bloods. St Mary’s
will belt the Trobers who could be a while off their
fi rst win and in the match of the round, Eltham
will throw their hat in the ring for premiership
contention after a scintillating win over Prahran-
Assumption.

Kick! The spirit kicks, but the moonshine plays
cheap tricks making it nearly impossible to pick
a winner. This week the fortitude shown on the
track was unrivalled by any I’ve seen before.
These guys got gusto, they are headstrong, but
only six have got the taste of victory dancing on
their tongues.
It was Ivanhoe’s turn to go bush this week, and
they travelled east with confi dence. However
the commute left them blunt and it was Yarra
Valley that came out dancing, by half time not
even Joe Byrne could have navigate the Hoers
home. It was a game dominated by Yarra Valley,
which looked to turn defence into attack at
every opportunity. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,
the Bushrangers are looking a class act, even if
it is early.
Another top rated side Elsternwick couldn’t
deliver the goods against a resilient Aquinas.
Aquinas looked to be in some trouble early
and it was not until the coaching panel sprayed
the walls that their cattle sharpened up. Fossil
Toomey was again the star for the Bloods the
Enforcer doing as he pleased. Unfortunately
for the Wicks, the Skull (William Christian) was
shining only in a literal sense and he couldn’t
inspire a victory.
St Francis Xavier was the talk of Beaconsfi eld
and in a spectacle for the ages the unfurling of
their fi rst ever fl ag received a standing ovation.
It only got better for the X-men who managed
to out play their more fancied opponents to
win by three goals. Matt Scanlon who managed
to push his way up from the reserves starred
as did the usual suspects Dimakopoulos and
Butterfi eld. Albert Park will have to surf the
mountain, ride the crest during the week in
search for a new direction.
The X-men were not the only former Div 4 side
to get a favourable result on the weekend as
Richmond Centrals also claimed their fi rst win
against bitter rivals Hawthorn. The game was
highlighted by Richmond’s disposal into their
forward line. This delighted Seb Angus no end
and he devoured his opponent fi nishing with 8
big ones. Hawthorn’s Captain David Tremewen
was outstanding, but try as he might to stop his
side going up in fl ames he could not, but surely
will not get the blame for his sides loss.
UHS-VU were left hooting and howling after
they held off a gallant Kew. The Grizzly Bears
who were down by 34 points at the fi nal change
put in an epic last quarter to almost snatch
victory. They managed to kick six goals to one
in the last, but it wasn’t enough and fortunately
for Uni High Cheyne Kelly and David Pinny who
had been clowning around in cahoots all day
showed enough class in dying minutes to hang
on for what could be a season defi ning triumph.
Hysteria hit Price Reserve when Old Westbourne
pulled of an absolute Harry Houdini eff ort
coming from 23 points down half way through
the last quarter to lead by three at the fi nal bell.

Power House should have put the game to
bed in the premiership quarter, but inaccurate
kicking in front of the sticks cost them and gave
their opponents a sniff , and a sniff was all they
needed. The fi nal quarter heroics of Pudgy
Hudson, Scotty Kidd and Mozza Morris lead to
one of Old Westbourne’s great victories.
Today: Aquinas will stay classy against the
in-form Richmond. Top of the table battle
between UHS-VU and Yarra Valley will see the
Bushrangers go on their merry way. Ivanhoe
will get the better of Kew in a match for the
ages. Old Westbourne will pick up where they
left off and defeat Albert Park in what looks to
be the highlight of the weekend. Elsternwick
will turn the Power out against the House and
St. Francis Xavier will be too high-quality for the
Hawks in Beaconsfi eld.

18 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
DIVI
SION
4
Two weeks into the new season and one thing’s for
sure already: consistency is the key to success. Just
two teams, South Mornington and Swinburne Uni,
remain with unblemished records for season 2012.
Last season’s disappointments, Manningham and
Chadstone might possibly endure another season
of suff ering after second successive crushing
defeats.
A common trend from this week’s winners was
an even spread of contribution from the twenty-
two players who pulled on jumpers. Whereas,
this week’s losers only had handfuls of players
who stood up in the overcast conditions that
Melbourne put on for football on Saturday.
In the game of the round, Swinburne Uni came
out fi ring against fellow premiership fancies Eley
Park. The Razorbacks’ devastating victory sent a
reminder to the rest of the competition that they
have what it takes to go all the way this season.
After marking their return to Division Four
successfully in R1, Mt Lilydale was handed an
absolute hiding by South Mornington, the Tigers
belting the Rams at home by 95 points. The other
newly relegated side, West Brunswick got off
the mark with a comprehensive win against the
Chadstone Synners.
Point Cook and North Brunswick bounced back
strongly from poor Opening Day performances,
with the Bulldogs knocking off Manningham by
ten goals, whilst the boys from Brunswick belted
the impressive Box Hill North Demons all over the
ground.
At the beginning of the round it was hard to split
these two sides.
Both have stars, both have great depth. But at
the end of the day the gap between Eley Park
and Swinburne Uni was far greater than we
originally thought. After six unanswered goals
in the opening term, the Razorbacks ran away
with an easy win over the Sharks at Whitehorse
Reserve. Ben Higgins and Adam Hyman racked
up big numbers in the middle, whilst Al Renshaw
picked up where he left off last week with another
impressive performance for the Sharks.
Before a third quarter meltdown, Chadstone
showed the football world that they can be
a competitive football team this season and
potentially pinch a few upset victories along
the way. Just two goals up at half time, the West
Brunswick faithful would have been more than
worried. However, a fourteen goal to four second
half was more than enough to steer the Magpies
home. Dane Sisic kicked six goals for the victors in
a best on ground performance, whilst David Barry-
Macauley was the shining light for Chadstone.
South Mornington is a team with a point to prove
this winter.
Consecutive fi fteen goal wins would suggest
that it is going to give this competition a serious
shake. Hosting recently relegated side Mt Lilydale,
the Tigers held the visitors goalless until deep
into the last quarter. Jesse Albrecht dominated
the forward fi fty with nine goals and he received
plenty of delivery from the likes of Scott Smith
and Stuart Cunningham. The Rams dismal
performance highlights the work they need to do
in order to compete in this division. Brad Hughes
was the only shining light on a dark day for the
football club.
North Brunswick bounced back strongly after last
weeks devastating loss to Mt Lilydale. In their fi rst
home appearance for 2012, the Bulls led from
start to fi nish against the sluggish Box Hill North
Demons. In a match that they would quickly like to
put behind them, the away side didn’t fi re a shot all
day. Davor Lucevic and Adam Jeff rey dominated
from the opening bounce for the home side in a
great day for Bulls, and Sahand Ghasimzadeh four
goals were a highlight. The Demons may have
been disappointing on Saturday but there were
some positives to take out of the clash. Ayden

19THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
Walker’s sterling start to the season continued on
the weekend, unfortunately he didn’t have many
mates who decided to come to the party.
Fifteen goal losers one week, ten goal winners
the next. Could this be the trend of Div 4 football
this season? Time will tell, but for Point Cook it
appears it desperately wanted to erase last week’s
hiding from their memories as quickly as possible.
Aaron Marsh’s six goals and Phillip Auciello’s swag
of disposals played a major role in the Bulldogs
crushing victory over the hapless Manningham
Cobras.
Stuart Fisher and Scott McPherson once again
tried their hardest to lift Manningham off the
canvas, but it wasn’t to be once again.
This week is critical for both South Mornington
and Swinburne Uni as they try to gain a break on
the competition at this early stage of the season.
Eley Park will be aiming to bounce back strongly
against the Manningham Cobras at home. Point
Cook host Chadstone in what could be an absolute
bloodbath unless the visitors have all their stars
available. The battle of the relegated sides heats
up when West Brunswick hosts Mt Lilydale. In the
game of the round, Swinburne Uni take on the
in-form North Brunswick Bulls in what should be
a tough assignment for the Razorbacks at home.
In the fi nal game of the round, South Mornington
tackles Box Hill North down the coast in what
should be a win for the Tigers.

RESE
RVES
Where were you and what were you doing in
early September 1972?
E Reserve Section that year threw out many
great games. At the end of the Home and Away
season we saw AJAX on top, followed by the then
State Savings Bank (my team), Old Ivanhoe and
Marcellin. These were four very evenly matched
sides, with each having had a victory over the
others during the season.
Old Ivanhoe accounted for Marcellin in the First
Semi, and had the week off waiting for AJAX
and SSB to fi ght out the Second Semi. Led by
their big ruckman and coach Hiram Janover, the
Jackers absolutely thrashed the Bankers, who
went away with their tails between their legs
having to regroup for the next week.
Unbeknownst to us and the Hoers at the time,
the Grand Final was set down for the Jewish Day
of Atonement, which precluded the Jackers from
playing. Despite repeated requests by AJAX to
have the game moved to another date, the VAFA
administration of the day denied this request.
And so the 1972 E Section Reserves Prelim
became the Grand Final. The day dawned bright
and sunny and as I drove to the Brens Oval, I had
a great feeling of anticipation and anxiety. No
one had any idea what would transpire and in
the SSB rooms, we were decidedly nervous. We
had plenty of support from the senior players,
who would have their day in the sun the next
week in their own big dance.
At the fi rst break, it was the Bankers who led by a
couple of twins. Old Ivanhoe, not to be denied,
clawed their way back into it and led by a couple
of points as we headed to the rooms for a rest.
There were no such things as rotations in those
days.
SSB veteran coach Kevin Staff ord implored us to
stay composed and the breaks would come our
way, it was nip and tuck in the championship
quarter with fi rst one then the other taking
control, but never fully, so much so that at the
fi nal break the scores were level.
“Keep going, they will break eventually,” repeats
Staff o and for a while it looked like happening.
We controlled the play and opened up an 8
point lead with 10 minutes left. Both sides were
desperate, diving on the ball and creating plenty
of stoppages. The Hoes got one back and were
points behind with about a minute left. That
minute seemed like an eternity. The ball entered
the Hoes’ goalsquare and a brown sock in a pair
of then new Adidas boots touched the ball. As it
dribbled towards the goal, three SSB defenders
made a gallant but fruitless attempts to smother
it. The Hoes were home by 4 points.
There was in us a feeling of desolation and
devastation when that fi nal siren sounded.
Chances to play in the ultimate game of the
year and to win a fl ag with one’s mates doesn’t
happen often (or often enough!) Although
hurting, the Bankers were quick to shake hands
and congratulate the victors.
It was great to see the Field Umpire Ian Jenkin
come into our rooms and commiserate and say
how courageous he thought we had been. For
the pundits, the better players for Old Ivanhoe
were, Carroll, Gibbs, Gill, Dickson, Gurney and
Wiltshire. And for SSB, Jeff Dawson (who would
play in a premiership with the seniors a week
later) Barnes, Dumbrell, Phillips, Brain (yes, me)
and Hatfi eld.
So any clubs, past players or offi cials out there
who have vivid memories of special games in
their careers send me an Email to brainco@
optusnet.com.au or an SMS or phone call to 0423

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012
VAFA BEIERSDORF TRAINER OF THE YEAR
Jacqui Perry joined the Yarra Valley Old Boys in 2009 when she commenced a Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science at Deakin University. She immediately impressed with her interest in sports medicine, her enthusiasm as a trainer, and her studious nature. She consequently completed her undergraduate degree in outstanding fashion with a High Distinction average.
Jacqui revels in assisting the club’s medical staff with the assessment and management of injuries, reduction of dislocations, suturing and anything else she can get involved in. She is a most popular member of the club and her recent birthday party was attended by a large number of club members.
This year Jacqui has commenced a Doctorate of Physiotherapy at Melbourne University, which she will no doubt complete in an impressive fashion.
Jacqui wins $100 of personal products from Beiersdorf and will be a fi nalist in the Trainer of the Year.
Nick Jamieson is the Club Warehouse Rising Star
for Round 2.
Nick played his junior footy with East Malvern and
was also an important member of the Scotch
College 1st XVIII. In 2010, Nick played several under
19 games around school football commitments,
and impressed with his composure and awareness
around goal. Nick was hopeful that the U19 side
could make the fi nals in 2011, but when their
fi nals aspirations were extinguished, he focused
his attention on securing a berth in the Senior
side. Nick plays with plenty of natural fl air and
confi dence, an unusual attribute for a young
player. He is explosive off the mark and has already
become an important part of the Old Scotch 1sts.
He is happy to be part of a young, enthusiastic
Old Scotch team.
* to be eligible for the club Warehouse Rising Star, a player
must be born no earlier than 1991 and playing his fi rst full
season odf senior football.

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011
In Division 2 the match of the round was between
the two top teams, La Trobe Uni and Glen Eira.
The Trobers took the early honours and the lead
at quarter time by a goal and a half but Glen Eira
reversed that to hold a 7 point lead at half time in
a very competitive aff air. Glen Eira then decided to
step on the gas in the vital third term and La Trobe
had no real answers and, by the fi nal break, the
result was beyond doubt. Glen Eira, with Glenn
Boyd in outstanding form up front continued the
assault in the fi nal term and no one, outside of
Glen Eira, expected the fi nal demolition of 21.18
to 10.12. Best – Higgins, Boyd (7), Spink, Harris,
Mills, O’Donnell (GE) and Steele, McMeel, McLean,
Sheldrick, Atkin-Smith (3), Harry (LaT).
Division 3 produced some high scoring wins
and Elsternwick were one of the teams to play
some real good footy with an appropriate result,
courtesy of excellent shooting for goal. Their
27.10 to Mount Lilydale 12.16 was more than
conclusive and led by Aaron Thornton obtaining
‘a bag’, the Wicks had 24 goals on the board by
three quarter time. Daniel Cerra was best for
the ‘Mountain Men’ but needed much more
assistance than he was given. Best – Thornton (7),
Craig, Richardson, Healey, Yemm (3), Richardson
(Elsternwick) and Cerra, Moyes, Hickey, Paull (3),
Evans 3), Hollingsworth (MtL).
Kevin Marks (Hampton Rovers) deserved the
VAFA Beiersdorf Trainer of the Week Award for
his continued dedication to his club. Kevin fi rst
became a trainer for the Rovers in 1998, taking on
the head trainer’s role in their premiership year of
2001.
5 YEARS AGO – 2007
Mazenod Old Collegians traveled to Whitefriars
College in Donvale for their C Section fi xture but
after an even fi rst term (4 goals each), the Friars
started to assert themselves and made sure of it
with a 7 goal burst in the third quarter. Although
Mazenod bounced back in the last, Whitefriars
held control and took the points 17.6 to 14.11.
Best – Staff ord, Day (3), Power, Swain, Pawlik,
Daou (Whitefriars) and Hose, Reed, Jayaweera
(3), B Chamberlain, D Chamberlain, Steinfort
(Mazenod).
D Section Senior Coaches were Steve Easton
(Bulleen Templestowe), Gary Sheldon (Hampton

(Old Geelong), Ben McGee (Old Mentonians),
Mark Spinosa (Old Paradians), Mark Glenn
(Peninsula Old Boys), Paul Greenham (Prahran),
Garry Datson (Therry), Kevin Barnes (Yarra Valley

Rod Penaluna received a VAFA Certifi cate of Merit
for his outstanding contribution to Yarra Valley
Old Boys. As the club’s fi rst secretary in 1996,
“Rocket” was instrumental in recruiting players
and club offi cials, establishing social events and
raising funds. Rod also coached the U19s and
served as President for two years and was one of
only four life members at the club. He went on to
become a VAFA umpire and is one of the colorful
and passionate people within the VAFA.
10 YEARS AGO – 2002
Prahran held off Collegians in C Section to

Van Rooyen, A Pitts (4), Rhodes (Prahran) and
Shinkfi eld, Holst, Harrison, Unsworth, Browning,
Phillips (Collegians).
Aquinas moved into the top four in D1 Section
with an emphatic victory over Williamstown
CYMS 17.13 to 8.11. Williamstown kept in touch
until half time when the goal scoring ability of
Aquinas really told on the visitors. Best – Jess,

achieve the milestone at his club since it started
in 1989. A dual best and fairest winner, he also
captained the club to their fi rst premiership in
1996.
Bernie Jephson celebrated his 200th game as a
VAFA umpire and Alan Stubbs his 300th.
20 YEARS AGO – 1992
Bulleen Templestowe showed they may be the
team to beat when they annihilated University
Blacks, 33.18 to 8.11 in C Section. The Bullants’
fi rst half was excellent and they led by 10 goals
at the main change, however, they proceeded to
kick 10 goals in both the third and fourth quarters
to kick one of their club’s highest ever totals. Best
– Cumming, Shine, McLaren (12), Pace (8), Field, T
Matthews (BT) and Bromell, Rourke (3), Longley, A
Gray, O’Neale, Merrett (Uni Blacks).
Preston Marist Brothers Old Boys surprised St
Bede’s by matching them all the way and then
proving to be too strong in the fi nal quarter with
a 15.16 to 12.12 victory. Best – Smith, McGaw (8),
Philp, McDonald (4), Smart, Yendall (PMBOB) and
Hambridge (3), Lancaster, M Beasley, Manson,
McLachlan (St Bedes).
Milestones recorded were – Glenn Roulent (200
games) at Hampton Rovers, Charlie Richardson
(150) at Old Geelong and 100 to Stephen
Mulholland at Hampton Rovers.
30 YEARS AGO – 1982
Footscray Tech Old Boys remained undefeated as
they demolished St Johns 23.17 to 10.12. Best –
Chatfi eld, Boswell, Englefi eld, Carr (5), Egan (4),
Fletcher (FTOB) and St John’s failed to reach the
deadline to submit their best.
The great Peter “Agate”
Harris (pictured) played
his 400th game in an
eff ort to help his ailing
club Fairfi eld and he
found plenty of the footy
with his experience and
passion. (Once retired,
“Agate” became a highly
popular member of the VAFA administration and
was awarded life membership for his services to
Amateur Football before his death in 2008.)
40 YEARS AGO – 1972
Reservoir Old Boys continued their unbeaten
run in C Section despite strong opposition from
Assumption Old Collegians. Best – Bates, Martin,
A Shepherd, Trevascus, Aston (3), McGaw (ROB)
and Stuart, Pavone, Daly, Tuck (8), Nugent, Avery
(Assumption).
Elsternwick defeated Dookie and Longeranong
Old Collegians 14.8 to 9.15. Best – White, Freer
(4), P Mahoney (4), Street, Schofi eld, Rosewarne
(Elsternwick) and K Patterson, Christie, Lievers,
Stephens, Venn, Simpson (Dookie).
50 YEARS AGO – 1962
1961 A Section Grand Finalists, Collegians and
Old Melburnians, met in the match of the day
with OM’s gaining revenge winning narrowly 6.10
to 5.13.
Umpires of the day were Pat Loy, Hec Roberts, Bill
Mason and Norm Sharpe.
60 YEARS AGO – 1952
Sam Birtles starred for Hampton Rovers while
‘Bandy’ Beck and ‘Blower’ Byrne were inspirations
in Melbourne High’s victory against Geelong at
Corio.

UMPIRE APPRECIATION ROUND
It all began at Williamstown CYMS and now
it has achieved popularity throughout the
football world. Today is the day we recognise
the eff orts of our umpires, who keep the peace,
blow the whistles, fetch the balls, wave the
fl ags, and hopefully buy a beer at the social
club afterwards. Players at all clubs are asked
to acknowledge today the commitment of our
umpires to our great game.

MENTONIANS: FLYING UNDER THE LID
The Old Mentonians’ administration has worked
extremely hard over the summer to work on
a deal with City of Kingston and Mordialloc
Football Club to play four games at Ben Kavanagh
Reserve. The ground will also be their training
base for the season and they are using it very well
if the results from R1 and R2 are any guide.
Last Saturday they celebrated the move with
their fi rst lunch of the year and they had Matt
Finnis as their keynote speaker. Matt (pictured)
is currently the CEO of the AFLPA and he spoke
about his role in working with the players in the
AFL. Matt also serves as a director of HeartKids
Australia, a charity supporting children born with
congenital heart disease. At the conclusion of his
speech, the Old Mentonians Football Club made
a generous donation to the charity.
The lunch was a celebration of the move to their
second home ground and there is a very positive
atmosphere around the club after a good win in
round one but you could sense that they were
defi nitely keeping a lid on their progress so far
in 2012.
Today is the fi rst of the Elsternwick Park matches
for 2012, featuring Uni Blues and Caulfi eld
Grammarians. Admission is free, as it will be for all
ten HQ matches this season. This week’s contest
is sponsored by Winning Edge Presentations,
which will provide a trophy for the occasion.
The proprietor of Winning Edge is Alistair Ewart,
pictured VAFA CEO Michael Sholly and a man
keen to see Julia Gillard spend more time at Point
Cook FC fulfi lling her duties as patron.

One person who didn’t get to see Black Caviar
race on Saturday was Caulfi eld Grammarians
President Matthew Scholten. Matthew
was lying down in the committee room at
Morphettville, recovering. Matt was the proud
owner of the winner of the previous race,
Heaven’s Riches. A 150/1 shot!!!
Matthew is not afraid to back his horses
when he thinks they have a chance and I’m
sure he couldn’t resist taking a piece of this
action. Jockey Michael Walker has postponed
his holiday to take the ride in the SA Derby
at Morphettville today. I am sure Matthew
shouted the bar for all VAFA supporters down
at Warrnambool this week.
EATING CAVIAR
WELL DONE, THE AGE
After an ordinary Opening Day, the Sunday Age got off to a huge R2 when it featured full
results from all senior sections in the VAFA, plus a feature piece by Brad Beitzel. Well done and
congratulations to Sunday Age sports editor Andrew Tate.
LIVE SCORES
Round 2 saw a 50 per cent growth in VAFA fans accessing Live Scores.
Now, there are 2000 following the progress of VAFA games on their mobile phones.
This number will increase exponentially as more clubs embrace the technology,
which is extremely simple to use.
If you haven’t yet downloaded it, Live Scores can be accessed by

Beaumaris’ Brayden Haynes is one of that club’s most decorated players. He spent his
early years in the Sharks junior program before Ray Jordon recruited him to the Sandy
Dragons where he fi nished up as captain in 1998. He then returned to Beauy in 1999 and
won the fi rst of his record four Senior B & F Awards as an 18 y.o. in Beauy’s fi rst stint in B
Grade.
Brayden then had a stint at Sandringham in the VFL where he played seniors and won the
reserves B & F before returning to Beauy for another B & F and a key role in the club’s fi rst
C Grade fl ag in 2003 when they defeated Collegians at headquarters.
After a fourth B & F in 2008, Brayden took up the mantle of senior captain and his proudest
legacy is the role that he has had in working closely with Jason Mifsud to develop the
leadership group of Beauy’s senior squad and seeing the results that are now becoming
evident.
Dedication, courage, loyalty and drive have been hallmarks of Brayden’s career with the
Sharks and he has made a giant contribution to the club both on and off the fi eld.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and
do the other things, not because they are easy, but
because they are hard, because that goal will serve
to organise and measure the best of our energies
and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one which we intend to win, and the others, too
– John F Kennedy 1962
It was fi fty years ago this season that Kennedy gave
this speech in a football stadium. He was talking
about putting a man on the moon but he could have
been talking about the challenges of playing U19
Premier football.
In 2012, six of the ten teams have senior sides in
the VAFA’s top tier. The others are Uni Blacks and
Old Melburnians, which would consider themselves
Premier teams in exile; Beaumaris, which is sitting
atop Premier B and hoping for a grand fi nal
appearance this year; and Fitzroy, which is playing in
Premier C and building.
This week, coaches, supporters and U19 players from
Beauy and the Roys might well be wondering what
it is they have gotten themselves into. Both were
indisputably drubbed last week. Bumping into De
La Salle and Old Xaverians, which have been strong
year after year at U19 level can be a daunting task.
This is what happened to Beaumaris and Fitzroy
last Saturday. The Sharks have seen better days
against these overlords of the comp and realise
there are bumps in the road. For the Lions, it’s a new
experience. But those friendly, playful cubs grow to
be the kings of the jungle.
Getting teams together for junior football can be a
tough deal for volunteer administrators. One year,
the team can be strong, the next year the majority
graduate to senior ranks. A cowboy’s work is never
done. Every club must have a lot of cowboys to keep
the ball rolling, to ensure the steady infl ow year after
year.
While U19 players love to win as much as the
next guy, the junior ranks are all about preparing
footballers for senior performance. Over the years,
many clubs, especially De La Salle, have blooded U19
players in senior ranks. These experiments would not
have worked as well as they did if their 19s had not
been playing in the top junior section.
Successful clubs know these things:
1. Fielding an U19 team is preferable to not
fi elding an U19 team
2. U19 footballers will benefi t more in the long
term playing in a higher grade against better
players.
3. Winning is more fun than losing.
4. Balancing 2 and 3 is the real trick.
Enough. Let’s look at last week’s games.
In Premier, as we have mentioned, De La torched
Beaumaris with Luke Barda and the Haley Brothers
dominating the best players and goalkicking lists.
I suspect there won’t be too many De La people
going to Noosa in September. Beauy could not have
enjoyed the experience, but will bounce back. Full
credit to those lads who hung in there.
Xavs lashed the Roys, with its honours list featuring
famous Red and Black names such as Ralph, Woodley,
Pirrie, Batten and Cotchett. The Lions got going
after a fi rst quarter pasting and while they could not
prevent Xavs scoring, they did better themselves.
Uni Blues beat the Brindisians by four goals, which
was the margin at half-time. Sean Carr was the game’s
Number One star.
Old Melburnians led St Bernard’s at the long break
but the Snow dogs booted six goals to two to take
the chocolates. Dave Wall added three more bricks to
his eight from R1.
Old Scotch pumped Uni Blacks with a splendid eff ort
from Ed “Fists of” Furey, who booted seven in a best-
on performance.
In Section 2, Jackson Small booted fi ve as Caulfi eld
clipped Marcellin’s wings. Joe “Mack” de Neefe was
best for the Eagles.
SKOB won a low scoring aff air with Old Trinity. It set
up the win with a four goal fi rst term. Francis Keely
was best and Mitch Manning kicked two. For the Ts,
Alex “Tex” Heuston kicked four.
Old Brighton defeated Old Haileybury to take the
Gadsden Cup, with Michael “Trigger” Tregear slipping
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY
49THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
through seven for the Tonners. Matt Mitchell got
three for the Bloods, whose second term was their
best.
Old Carey beat Werribee Districts in a fabulous
contest of jungle beasts. Pat Cremean kicked six
for the Panthers, while Mick Secoulidis, Jax Cooke
and one-time NZ tourist Matty Fitzpatrick had three
apiece for the Tiges.
In Section 3, PEGS belted Old Xaverians, booting six
goals to two after half-time. Sandon McCann was
best for the Peggers, who led all day.
Collegians had thirty-two scoring shots to seven in
defeating Mazenod. The Nodders, 18-2 and runners
up in South Division last year, are fi nding the jump
none too easy (as is South fl ag winner Xavs). The
Lions had the luxury of playing senior Big V squad
member and 2011 Senior premiership player Lachlan
Ferguson, who returned from injury. Luke “Buddy”
Greco kicked four for the Nodders.
Northern Blues were too strong for the Wellers,
winning by 44 points. Jake Powell starred for the
Northerners, while the classy and alliterative Francisco
Fernandes booted a couple for Camberwell.
Nick Curwood’s six goals and a fi ne eff ort from Stewart
McCooke saw the Monders home over St Bernard’s.
Harry Overman was best for the Snow Dogs.
Up North, AJAX wrested a tight one from Old
Geelong. Adam Lerner booted two and was best on
for the Jackers, while Rupert Kemp starred for the
OGs.
Uni beat High School as La Trobe bested the Unicorns
by 28 points. Tommy Williams slotted fi ve for the
Trobers while Sam Shearer managed four for MHSOB,
Therry monstered Emmaus St Leo’s, tipping them
by 170 points. Three Lions booted three each, but
Darrell ‘The Sentimental” Blake kicked ten to win all
the awards. Jason “Kitchen” Schink starred for ESL.
Ivanhoe got home by two points in a squeaker
against Will CY. The Hoers added fi ve of its eight goals
in the fi nal term to steal the points. Jai Swainger
booted four and was best in the win. Nat Bratby was
best from the West.
Down South, Chris Wheeler kicked eight and Bill
Kittlety six as Monash Blues routed Beauy. Liam
Brennan drew the notices for the Sharks.
De La Salle slaughtered Hampton Rovers, with Matt
Hogan booting seven and Jack Hanley six for the
Bellers. Jordan Mayne fought hard for Rovers against
the tide.
Larry Webb and Jordy Young kicked four apiece as
St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers outlasted Peninsula. Jordy
Owens booted three for the Pirates, who led at QT
and HT, but had no answers in the fi nal stanza.
Chris Welch kicked four and Lew Emmerson three as
the Vultures belted SMS. Parkdale began strongly and
kept going. For their part, St Mary’s Salesian achieved
plenty themselves, booting multiple goals in each
quarter. Sam Murphy was best in yellow.

56 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
We start with another big milestone this week. Goal umpire David Hindle reaches game 400 this weekend. David has taken a long journey interrupted journey to reach 400 considering he commenced umpiring with the VAFA in 1969.
He joined as a fi eld umpire after four years with the VFL’s Reserve Grade panel and retired as a fi eld umpire in 1983. He returned to the VAFA in 2007 as a goal umpire with a gap which is greater than the age of many current umpires.
David’s highlights are as follows:
First game – A Reserve - Old Paradians v Caulfi eld Grammarians (and like accountant the accountant he is remembers that he was paid $11 for that game.
First A Grade game – University Blacks v University Blues in 1969.
Highest achievement was the A Grade Preliminary Final in 1979 between De La Salle and University Blacks.
“In the 1970s we didn’t have our own boundary umpire squad and fi eld umpires did the boundary jobs in fi nals and representative games. In the 1973 Amateur Carnival at the MCG I umpired two boundary games (Tuesday and Saturday) - a big ground with only one boundary umpire on each side unlike today. Also boundary umpired 5 consecutive A Grade grand fi nals on Elsternwick Park from 1971 to 1975.
Other highlights include the best non-fi nal game was in 1972 the lost home and away game between Parkside and Alphington with the winner playing fi nals. Parkside by a point with the Alphington full-forward running into an open goal as the bell (yes, bell) rang just before he kicked.”
David has been awarded with VAFAUA Life Membership and the Bob Dunstan Award for services to the Association and has spent time as the VAFAUA auditor, Executive member, Treasurer and member of the Investigations Panel.
His advice to young umpires? “The VAFA is a great organisation which has always been totally supportive of umpires, be proud to be part of it. Make a point of going into the after-match functions, get to know the clubs. Enjoy
UMPI
RES Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson
MILESTONE – 400 UP!what you do. Strive to do your best. There will be disappointments along the way, when there are, challenge yourself to rise above them and achieve greater heights. Support the VAFAUA as it also is a superb body that works hard to achieve a great environment for umpiring.”
All try to make it back to Caulfi eld Grammarians to share a couple with David tonight.
Another one Sig Sokolowski hits 150 games today. Sig joined us from the SFL a few years back and has quickly reached that mark. 200 not too far. Have a great day.
ThanksBrendan Corcoran would like to thank all at St Francis Xavier for acknowledging his 350th VAFA game last weekend at the fl ag unfurling and also presenting him with the match ball.
Splinters – Rule of the weekWhat do you do when the ball hits an overhanging tree during play? Ask Ben Nicholson and he’ll tell you what to do. No, its not carrying a chainsaw in your kit bag.
InnovativeSenior umpire Merv Monty is so dedicated to training there was no way that leaving his runners at home last week was going to stop him. Popped into a local department store for a $10 pair of runners to get him through. Who needs those expensive brands anyway.
Road tripPaul Jones was umpiring with his coach Mark Gibson at South Mornington last weekend so they decided to travel down together. What Gibbo didn’t count on was that Jonesy would bring his mum (in her 80s) along for the ride. No stranger to footy clubs, Mrs J had a great day, even attending the aftermatch.
Umpire Appreciation DayOnce again Umpire Appreciation Day is being acknowledged by the Wiliiamstown CYMS Football Club today. Check out the game on Channel 31 next Friday night.

UNDE
R 18
Oakleigh looks to be the one to beat if R2 results
are any indication. After a bye on Opening Day,
the Krushers moved into their work and beat a
highly fancied Rupertswood by 55 points. Ben Still
slotted fi ve and he had support from Zach-Pearce-
Thomas and Aaron Cloke (four goals and three
respectively). Rupo plugged away all afternoon,
but was not in the hunt. Adam Phillips was best in
blue and gold.
St Bernard’s was too strong for UHS-VU/
Flemington, disposing of the Combine by nearly
100 points. Jerry Sullivan booted four and Toms
Russell and Riley got three each. Stavrou and Vella-
Horne (both Dylans) were best for the vanquished.
Werribee Districts defeated St Mary’s Salesian by
81 points. Dane Thomas shot out the lights with
ten goals for the Bees. Clem McInnes was best for
SMS and one of its fi ve single goalscorers.
Today’s big clash features Werribee Districts and
Oakleigh. I’m selecting the Krushers, despite the
travel. St Bernard’s motor to SMS and should be
too strong. Rupo meets Willy in a battle of blue
and gold and it looks like the match of the day to
me.

CLUB
XVI
II Norm Nugent
Round 2 results, although fairly predictable,
served to consolidate early ladder ascendancy for
teams not usually found in the vanguard of Club
XVIII.
Reigning premier De La Salle lost by twenty four
points against the Old Xaverians, which now sit
second while the Malvern-based side fi nds itself
outside the top six. Ivanhoe, led by their star,
Tim Sheehan, with eight goals, defeated Fitzroy
by thirty-two points. Competition leaders North
Old Boys/ St Patrick’s defeated traditional rival
St Bernard’s by sixty fi ve points. Monash Blues
fi nished fi fty nine points ahead of Old Ivanhoe,
which now fi nds itself on the bottom of the ladder.
Old Melburnians recorded their fi rst win when
they overwhelmed Prahran/Assumption by one
hundred and fourteen points. Despite marked
inaccuracy, Williamstown C.Y.M.S. managed to
defeat Therry Penola by eight points and so
maintain its unbeaten record.
The reformed Bulleen Templestowe team led
throughout its match against Richmond Central
Snakes and won by sixty two points. Early
premiership favourites, Hawthorn had a day out
against the hapless Eley Park, who returned to
Elgar Park with no pomp and in dire circumstances
after their two hundred and forty one point loss.
Old Geelong’s fi fty three point win over Kew was
one I had not expected. The OGs were in no way
impeded by the small Victoria Park and just maybe
they could qualify for their fi rst fi nal in 2012! Old
Paradians fi nd themselves in fourth place after
their one hundred and nine point win over UHS-
VU., which once again found scoring diffi cult. At
Oak Park, Richmond Central joined the long list of
losing sides against Therry Penola, the “Cardinals”
down by twenty points.
PREVIEW
Section 1
Darling Park is set to provide a feast of Club
XVIII football today. Prahran/ Assumption hosts
Old Xaverians, which should maintain their
undefeated status especially given the “Four
Blues” form in Round 2. In the afternoon, seventh
placed De La Salle faces undefeated Williamstown
CYMS whic will be making its Darling Park debut.
It will be a good test of the CY standard against
the reigning premiers. I select De La Salle because
of home ground advantage and I suspect superior
match fi tness. Two sides without a win, Fitzroy and
Therry Penola play at Ramsden Street. At home I
favour Fitzroy to break the ice. Near neighbours,
Ivanhoe and Old Ivanhoe meet at Ivanhoe Park.
It’s neighbour versus neighbour in this battle
for the hearts and minds of the good citizens
of the area, with many front fences no doubt
adorned in ribbon, black or brown, depending on
allegiances. Judged on their respective showings
so far, I believe the district side will triumph over
the school-based side. Leaders, North Old Boys/
St Patrick’s should have their colours lowered by
Old Melburnians, which has shown impressive
form in each game. The game should provide a
guide as to the comparative strength in Section 1
of its established sides and its newcomers. In the
tradition of Mao and his followers, Monash Blues
will make an early morning “long march” to the
north and west. In the once inhospitable but now
gentrifi ed “Snake Pit” the enigmatic St Bernard’s
await them. Monash has played two consistent
games, whereas St Bernard’s form has been

erratic. Despite the obvious home advantage and
their wide ranging coaching guidance, I believe
the Snowdogs will be beaten by the ‘Ashes.
Section 2
Undefeated Bulleen-Templestowe should
continue on its winning way at Como against the
unpredictable Old Geelong. Old Paradians, which
looked good last week, should win again at the
expense of Kew. Richmond Central “Cardinals”
should win its fi rst game by defeating Eley Park,
whose players have struggled hitherto to meet
the required sectional standard. This week it is the
turn of the Richmond Central “Snakes” to face the
unbeaten Therry Penola on the unfamiliar terrain
of the Fawkner Reserve. I expect the home side
to win again despite some periods of good play
by the “Snakes” last Saturday. Leaders, Hawthorn
should record another convincing victory over
UHS-VU, which despite trying hard each week, at
present lacks the skill to put its opposition under
scoreboard pressure.
