1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
It can take a couple of years for a tactical trend
in the AFL to fl ow over to the VAFA. In the last
ten years, we have seen the fl ood and the huge
increase in interchanges take their place on our
fi elds and now we have coaches keen for players
to employ the press. I am not totally au fait with
this ploy but I am sure it takes a lot of education,
time and buy-in from players for it to work. More
will talk about it than be successful with it.
Other changes to the rules or interpretations
have been implemented by the AFL to speed
up the game, increase spectator enjoyment
or enhance the safety for the players. Some of
these have not been introduced by the VAFA for
reason of either lack of relevance or lack of man
power to police them. One rule that comes to
mind is hands in the back, which is still legal in
the VAFA as long as there is no push involved.
In 2007, the AFL introduced a tough stance on
high tackles when CEO Andrew Demetriou
referred to the head as “sacrosanct”. Accordingly
all football competitions around the country
followed this doctrine. All of our coaches were
briefed on the correct way to tackle a player
when approached head on.
However, it seems now that players are seeking
to use this doctrine to their advantage and
the eff ect of this could be serious injuries. This
week the head high tackle has been highlighted
as players are endeavouring to slip under the
tackle to allow the tacklers arms to slide up
around their neck or to the head. The second
and more dangerous method is where players
are using their heads to force front on contact
and be rewarded with a free kick. This method
needs to be outlawed for the protection of the
ball carrier.
I asked VAFA General Manager of Umpiring
Brian Goodman, to explain the interpretation
given to our umpires: “The player who ducks his
head in an attempt to gain a free kick will not be
rewarded. The umpires are instructed that if the
player contributes to the high contact then ‘play
on’ will be called”.
However the umpires are instructed to protect
the player going for the ball and therefore their
natural tendency should be to always reward
that player. This grey area is causing players in
the AFL to test the umpires. In the VAFA, our
players are not going to risk neck injury for the
sake of a free kick. Or are they? Competitiveness,
will to win and natural aggression all come into a
contest and players might use their heads if they
believe a free kick will result.
The AFL Laws are there to ensure player safety
and in my opinion this law doesn’t guarantee
it. If you put your head down and make contact
with a stationary player, then the player should
not be rewarded with a free kick. However
players are then unsure as to whether they can
even lay a tackle and these players sometimes
get a rite of passage. Should we go so far as to
say, for the protection of players, that a free kick
is awarded against players who lead with their
head and barge into contact? In basketball, if
the blocker is stationary, the foul is called on the
ball-carrier.
As for the press, I am not convinced that all
clubs have the fi tness to ensure mastery of it. I
do know that if the ball comes over the top and
behind the last line, it’s time to get the skates on
and run like Billy Slater.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
It was Christmas in May as the Red Men’s “Jingle
Bells” theme song echoed around Camberwell
on Saturday afternoon, signalling the end of a
long stretch of Xaverian dominance over the
Cards. What all this means we will not know
until later, but for now Scotch can look ahead
with confi dence and without fear. Its victory was
convincing enough. It began well, pressed hard
and withstood the inevitable challenge when it
did come. Mark “El Condor” Passador played his
best game for the club and Shane Neaves, who
duelled with Cam Purss at the stoppages, did
likewise. Sam Barnett returned to top speed and
the defence did a great job of shutting down
the Xavs forward setup. Only Brendan Goss, who
booted four, reaped reward for his eff orts, while
Pat Ambrose again showed some form.
St Bernard’s waited until after the long break to
kick its fi rst goal, but then added another four to
climb back into the contest with Old Carey. Still,
their hope was short-lived, as Ben Smithwick hurt
the Snow Dogs and the goals came from Damian
Yze and Julian Rowe and the classy duo of James
Rimington and Carl Peterson got in on the act too.
Andrew Merrington was a strong target for the
Bernies and Toms Caven and Overman kept the
fl ame burning on an otherwise dirty afternoon.
Nick Sautner did not produce the prodigious
numbers he did last time against the Ts and
Collegians had to be satisfi ed with a hard-fought
and slightly uncomfortable win. The Ts led at the
half, though one sensed that inaccurate kicking
had a bit to do with that, and it was not a surprise
that the reigning premier stepped up the pressure
in the third stanza. While Shura Taft and Nick Reis
booted three for the Lions, the tireless and ageless
Andrew Ramsden responded with six, a massive
eff ort given that the Greens managed just eight
for the day. Fergus Stewart and Luke Pacconi were
in fi ne fettle for thevanquished, while Colls had
plenty from Courtney Hylton, a worthy recipient
of this week’s Rising Star award.
At headquarters, Uni Blues looked quite
comfortable for the fi rst half and beyond but as
the third quarter wound down, the Fieldsmen
jumped back into the game and threatened to
steal it. Sadly for them, the classy Tom O’Sullivan
missed one he would regularly nail and the
momentum disappeared as suddenly as it had
arrived. Jack Watts was again best for Blues and he
had some strong assistance from Will Cuningham
and Charles Shaw, while Andrew Lowcock is still
a constant threat. In the thin white hoops, Max
Slonim and Dean Scheetz were solid allies for the
aforementioned O’Sullivan, but the Gladiators of
Glenhuntly went home still winless. The Varsity
won its fi rst points for the season and in doing so
showed signs of really putting its game together.
De La Salle hosted its La Sallian cousin St Bede’s/
Mentone Tigers and showed it no mercy. Once
again, the Seasiders were slower to begin and by
the half, the game was well and truly over, given
the conditions, which were described by one
observer as “appalling”. Still, the condition of the
ground did not seem to worry the home team,
which kept the thumb on its opponent even after
the result seemed certain. Sam Williams made
a welcome return for the Blue and Golds and he
and Jake Gotch seemed to enjoy chewing up the
kilometres. Frankie Pickett booted three, Nick
Roberts was again handy and the Brindisians
could not fi nd answers up forward.
THIS WEEK: De La meets Uni Blues at Waverley and
the conditions will be similar to last week’s. The
home team may make some forced changes but
may be a bit stronger. The Varsity won well here
last year but might fi nd repeating that dose a
tough ask.
Old Trinity returns to Daley for its clash with
Caulfi eld Grammarians. As it has sorted itself in
the fi rst three weeks, this becomes a must-win for
SANTA, WEARING RED, ARRIVES EARLY.

each team. The heavier it is, the better chance for
the home team. What will Rambo do this week?
and will the Fieldsmen get a strong return from
their talls?
The Brindisians will defend the fortress against
Collegians, who have not won at Mentone in this
current epoch. Form and cast list would both
indicate that the perfect record will be broken,
though I have a funny feeling about this one.
St Bernard’s head back to the Snakepit hoping to
catch The Cards still celebrating their R3 win. Back
in the day, St Bernard’s was about the toughest
place to win in all of football and the cognoscenti
are hoping for a return to those times. It’s a big
game and the Cards will not tolerate dropping
this one.
On Sunday at headquarters, (where admission is
free throughout the home-and-away season) Xavs
and Carey celebrate Mothers’ Day with a match-
up that both sides are desperate to win. Coming
off a loss, one would expect the Red and Blacks to
be very tough, particularly in the ruck. “Chopper”
Handley will miss after pleading guilty before his
appearance in front of the stipes and his infl uence
will be missed on the Ponderosa. Old Carey has
a lot of class, but will need its forwards to kick a
score.

This weekend we say special thanks to Mum - in
particular the wonderful collective Footy Mum.
She who thought the fi lthy, muddy loads of
washing were over forever when junior footy
came to an end, and she could bid farewell
to freezing hours on the sidelines, clubroom
clean-ups and canteen rosters. Ah, bookclub
awaits, a regular manicure, perhaps a mid-
winter getaway to a cosy B&B. Sorry Mum! Mind
you, she probably also thought her strapping
young adult sons would’ve moved out by now
too. There’s a footy mum in particular who
embodies all manner of devotion and multi-
tasking excellence who deserves a mention,
anonymously of course. We’ll just call her Kerry.
She’s a single parent, a Thursday night Nigella
creating mouth-watering pasta for the lads, and
variously she is game-day kiosk lady, cleaner,
team manager, uniform-steward, inn-keeper,
raucous joke-teller and staunch confi dante of
all. She talks proudly of each player not just her
son, the club captain. She’s as committed to
the footy club as ever, and they don’t come any
tougher. Or softer. She personifi es the hundreds
of wonderful Footy Mums at every club, and we
wish all of you a very Happy Mother’s Day.
A terrifi c turnout of Mums and WAGs enjoyed
a chicken & champagne lunch at SKOB’s Ladies
Day last week; the girls overseeing their boys
in another resounding win. Old Melburnians
hung tough though in the bleak conditions and
in fact had the better of the second term. Alex
Armstrong and Lachie Bennett kicked a pair
each, but an inspired third quarter proved St
Kevin’s most ferocious display for the year: Karl
Wissell and Glen Chivers winning the hard ball
out of the middle and driving it forward for a 10
goal term and an eventual 89-point win.
In the local derby against Old Brighton, Brayden
Haynes’ mum cheered ‘Des’ as he ran onto
Banksia Reserve in his 200th decorated game
with Beaumaris. A hard-bodied encounter, the
Sharks displayed superior kicking skills despite
the conditions, but the ‘Tonners were revved up
too with the return of Leigh Hendra’s aggressive
tackling. Unlucky to lose key forward Tom
Mentiplay early, Old Brighton’s David Jennings
(3) stepped up while Andrew Edge was superb
in defence and although dominant in the
fi nal term, the ‘Tonners fell short by 34 points.
Tommy Dean continues his brilliant vein of
form for Beauy along with Rob Cathcart, their
hard running and tackling strength super
impressive. Murton and Gowers kicked a trio
each; the Sharks’ many teeth pushing forward
to cover Matt Petering’s absence through
suspension.
Old Ivanhoe came tantalisingly close to a home
victory over Werribee, leading at every change
until the ‘Bees smashed them with fi ve goals in
the last to win by nine points. Adam Morrow
led the way for the Tigers while Andy Panayi
kicked three on VFL release. The Browns found
their big go-to man in Brad Thompson (2), as
Delmonte (2) and Nick Gieschen did the hard
yards in a desperately disappointing loss, but
kudos to Werribee for a grinding, fi ghting win.
Oakleigh also came close to a fi rst victory as
they ran neck-and-neck with Old Haileybury for
three quarters, just 4 points in it at the last turn.
Ioannidis (3) was a solid contributor along with
Wass, but the Bloods kicked away in an eight-
goal fi nal spree, shared amongst Ridgway,
Nicolopoulos (3 each) and the fi nesse of Brede
Seccull (2) also on VFL release.

Unable to score a goal until midway through

C
That was fun while it lasted. We’ve only got
to Round 4 and no teams left in the comp on
maximum points (though we’ve still got two
that are undefeated). Boasting a form line that’s
been tougher to read than Finnegans Wake, it
looks like Premier C is going to be a great season
from start to fi nish, unless you’re a tipster.
As the ‘Keep off the grass’ signs were being
taken down at Boss James Reserve, ahead of its
relaunch this Saturday, the Rovers were under
siege against a rampant Banyule at the Cave.
The Bears defence had a clean sheet at quarter
time and kept Hampton to just two goals all
day. The Rovers’ skipper, Leigh Fletcher was
battling manfully in the middle and Cameron
Sharp made a welcome return, but Banyule just
had too many winners on the day in a 119-point
victory. Adam Barclay was back to his best for
the Bears with six goals, while Gayfer chimed
in with four and Bart Walsh continued his good
early season form.
Monash was at Frearson against Old Camberwell
and while it was a tight battle throughout,
the Ashes were unable to capitalise on their
narrow halftime advantage, with the Wellers
getting home by nine points. In a low scoring
encounter, Old Camberwell’s third quarter
yield of 3.1 to one point ultimately got them
home and with two wins and a draw from three
games, they are now equal top of the ladder.
Greg Tolson starred for the visitors and Ben Hart
put in another dominant display, while Andrew
Hickey was fantastic for the Blues, yet again.
Rupo put the white shorts on for the fi rst time of
the Premier C season and the long drive home
from Parkdale would not have been a happy
one, succumbing to the Vultures by 32 points.
Parkdale gained the early ascendancy on the
scoreboard and managed to hold Rupertswood
at arm’s length all day. Liam Platt was busy for
the Vultures and David Robbins and Andrew
Thompson celebrated their return to the side
with strong performances. John Corso and Josh
Smerdon had their best games for the year for
Rupo and would be looking to build on this
form as their team tries to return to the winners
list in Round 4.
The Eagles hosted Mazenod at Bulleen and
Marcellin would be very happy to take the
four points, just outlasting the Nodders in a
cliff hanger. The loss leaves Mazenod at 0-3,
which probably isn’t an accurate representation
of how competitive they’ve been so far. It was
the Bortolotto show at the college, with JB and
Big B putting on a clinic, combining for seven
goals in a sensational display. Augustine Patti
was good for the Nodders in his fi rst game of
2012 and Tim Bourbon was a solid contributor.
Fitzroy, coming off a confi dence-building win
against Marcellin, went to PEGS, hoping to
make it two in a row. But it was the home side
that would continue its winning streak, with
a big fi nal quarter sealing the deal for PEGS.
David Forrest was a great focal point for the
victors, fi nishing with fi ve goals and Towner,
Skurrie and Biggs were all fi ring. Josh Vansittart
played another great game for the Roys, Sam
Baker performed well and Michael Cussen

7THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
This week, the Rovers are back at their beloved
home, in what will be a huge day for the club.
All three sides are playing there on the day and
hopefully a massive crowd will be there to see
the Rovers take on the Wellers. Old Camberwell
has barely put a foot wrong in 2012, but they
can’t aff ord to underestimate Hampton, who
will undoubtedly be fi red up for this one. Still,
Old Camberwell has been very solid so far this
year and I don’t think they’ll drop this game.
Mazenod is back at home this week against
PEGS and the Nodders would no doubt be
feeling disappointed with no premiership
points to show for three games, considering
they’ve been thereabouts in all three games.
It’s tough to go against winning form though,
so I’ll tip PEGS in a tight one.
The Vultures get their third game at home in
the fi rst month, this one against Marcellin. This
should be a great game between two quality
sides and I’ll tip the Vultures to win at the Nest .
Fitzroy travels to Heidelberg to take on Banyule
in a massive game for both clubs. While the
Bears won’t be a pushover, I think Fitzroy will
get their season back on track with a good win.
Two sides looking to bounce back clash at
Salesian, with Rupo taking on the Ashes. It’s
never easy to get out of Sunbury with the four
points and I think Rupo will get the points at
their fortress.

THIR
DS
Third XVIII football rolled on in R3 and there are now two unbeaten teams in Premier. Collegians is basking in greater depth, which has seen their Reserves join the upper shelf too, clipped Old Trinity to stay on track. Mark “Airer” Parrent was grand in purple while Tim Quarterman was best for the Ts, who led at early before being overcome. St Bernard’s beat Old Carey convincingly, with Matt Sweeney and Chris Godfrey combining for six goals, more than enough to take care of the Panthers. Veteran Justin Evans led the Snow Dog assault, while Matt Baker was in good form for the vanquished. Xavs beat Scotch to stay on track – Paddy Purcell and Josh “Tooka” Hanger were strong for the winners, while the Cards got plenty from Tim Melville. Uni Blues beat Caulfi eld Grammarians, with strong performances from two PMs, Keating and Barton, while Dylan Tobias was best for the Fields.
In PB3, SKOB booted 33 goals – fi ves to Tom Crookes, Nick Marchesani and Simon O’Connor and Matt Lucas – yes, Matt Lucas – kicked six. Jamie Doran and Josh and Jake Paola tried hard for the Krushers, but the Kevs were in dazzling form. Reigning premier Xavs beat AJAX with a great performances from Jim “Mojo Rising” Morrison and Dan “Sail On” Selir. Jon Sacks was in good touch for the Jackers.
Uni Blacks beat the Tonners in a low scoring game, with Rob Moff att’s hat-trick being decisive for the
Varsity. Justin Koob starred for Old Brighton. Old Melburnians edged Northern Blues with a cast that looked like a list of Victorian Liberal leaders – Baillieu, Doyle and Thompson were all in the best.
In PC3, Kevs beat Banyule,with Dan Kerr grabbing three. Fitzroy was strong over Mazenod, with Jim Harding and Max Oliver starring for the Lions and Jake Little best for the Nodders. The Wellers were too strong for Marcellin at the fi nish, winning after trailing most of the afternoon. Sam Ayoub booted four for the Eagles, but the combination of Josef Atkinson, Sam Flanagan and Rock Kwok got it done for the Two Blues. Ben Lane goaled three times as Old Mentonians beat an inaccurate Friars.

In the blink of an eye, there is but one undefeated
team. The unconquered Pirates are alone at the
top of the ladder after defeating the previously
unbeaten Whitefriars. With the intermittent rain
making for slippery conditions, it was a close
low-scoring tussle at Friar Park, particularly for
the fi rst three quarters. And when the Friars
booted the fi rst two goals of the fi nal term to
draw within three points, it was well and truly
“game on”. However, Peninsula seemed to have
the answers all day long and they duly banged
on four unanswered goals to draw away with a
34-point win. Gary Carr was a rock in defence
for the Pirates, while Paul Celotti was excellent
for Whitefriars.
As well as savouring the hard-fought win,
Peninsula president Phil Coghlan was
celebrating the fact that he had six sons turn
out for the Pirates last Saturday: James, Tom
and Will in the ones, Luke and Eddie in the twos,
and Andy in the 19’s!
It was a tough game of footy at Keysborough,
where the Panthers played host to the fi rst tie
of the season against Ormond. Defences ruled
in the heavy conditions. It was goal-for-goal,
but those goals were at an absolute premium;
indicative of this was that both teams scored
only a point each in the second quarter! In
what could have been a fi tting fi nale to his
150th game, a mere three seconds before the
siren Ormond’s Shane Metz had a shot at
goal which would have secured victory. But
it narrowly missed and the match ended in a
stalemate. Best for the Old Mentonians were
Cam Duncan, Zach Nelson, Tim Wigney and
Sam Johnson, whilst Ormond’s stand-outs
were Boyd Upstill, Luke Duthie and Richard
Keane.
After a tight fi rst half, Glen Eira’s seven-goal
third term ended St Johns’ hopes of breaking
its duck. The Saints pulled away from their arch-
rivals to record a big win, their fi rst for 2012.
Best for the Saints were Andy Spink, Justin
Mills and Tom Paterson. St. John’s were in the
game early, but tired badly in the second half:
best for JOCs were Glenn Costas, Liam Mara
and 17 year-old Josh Green.
Back on the familiar surrounds of Gillon Oval,
North Old Boys-St Patricks looked a completely
diff erent team against MHSOB, booting seven
fi rst-term majors to put the previous week’s
horror show behind them. For NOBs, big Todd
Patterson (6 goals) fi nally got amongst them,
whilst Sam O’Connor was a deserving winner
of the “Past Players Mark Sheales Award”. The
Unicorns were never in it, possibly thinking too
much about that night’s annual “Mr. Unicorn”
festivities.
It’s been some years since Old Geelong tasted
success at Williamstown, but they will be more
than satisfi ed to run out convincing 58-point
winners over a CYs team who are struggling
to fi re a shot at present. OGs best players were
Angus Macdonald and Paul Ellis whilst Willy’s
better players were Daniel Calman-Orr and
Benny Gray.

both entertaining and a test of just where the
Oggers are at. The OGs looked much improved,
but I am expecting the Friars to bounce back
from the disappointment of their defeat last
week and win by 14 points. Ormond should
also be on the winning side of the ledger when
they play host to St John’s. A win may not be
too far away for the JOCs but it will not be this
week; the Monders to be 30 points too good.
When Williamstown and North Old Boys-St
Patrick’s last met at the Fearon, the result was
a draw. I reckon the Towners would settle for a
measly two points at this stage of proceedings,
but NOBs will not be giving any ground to their
struggling opponents here, and will win by 15
points. Peninsula, who are at home only twice
in the fi rst six, are on the road again; but the
Pirates form is such that they should have little
trouble dispensing of MHSOB by 40 points.
Apart from their round-one shocker, Glen Eira
have been competitive, but the Saints will be
no match for the new-look Panthers. I’m tipping
Old Mentonians by 25 points.
Smokie says: Many correspondents are
reporting that visiting clubs have been quite
keen to partake in after-match socialising. As
one who does not need an excuse for a chat
by the bar after the fi nal siren, I hope this spirit
continues on throughout the season.

It was only a mere three years ago when wet-
day football was all but extinct. The slower, more
wholesome players found the going tough, while
the taller, athletic players fl ourished, clunking the
pill at will, sending their stocks soaring akin to
Microsoft shares in the 80s.
Through some procrastination-spawned research,
I have since learned that Australia is currently
experiencing a La Nina event, which in layman’s
terms, translates to a whole lot more wet weather
footy. So, like me, if you have a frame that falls
under the “wholesome” umbrella and you have
a centre of gravity lower than a Mini Cooper, our
time to prosper has arrived. For our genetically
gifted 6-foot plus teammates, step aside; you’ve
had your go.
La Trobe University has fi nally freed itself of
Maiden status after a strong second half to defeat
a disappointing St Mary’s Salesian at home by 20
points. Boasting arguably one of the best playing
surfaces in the competition, the fi rst half was
peppered with skilful passages of play and free
fl owing movement despite the inclement weather.
Grasping a narrow fi rst half lead, the Saints were
unaccountable in the third and fi nal terms, kicking
a miserable two goals to the Trobers’ seven. Jack
McMeel’s 5 goals in the wet proved instrumental
for La Trobe while David West and Sid Jones
performed admirably for the Saints and will enjoy
the forthcoming wet weather this season.
Emmaus St Leo’s remain the only side without a
win in 2012 after a heartbreaking 2 point loss
to the resilient Old Paradians at Bennettswood
Sports Ground. Leading all day, and with a six
point buff er going into the fi nal stanza, players
and fans alike started warming the vocal chords
for the fi rst belting of the song. Whispers coming
out of the St Leo’s camp have it that a new recruit,
upon realisation he had no idea what the song
was, came to the bench to ask a club stalwart
for assistance. Alas, the scrambling was in vain,
a resurgent Old Paradians, trailing all day, led
when it mattered. The Baranello brothers were
sensational for St Leo’s as was Thomas Foreman.
For the victorious Paradians, it was Warren Jeff rey
and Wayne Connelly who impressed.
Seemingly content with their newfound underdog
status, Prahran-Assumption prevented the Turtles
from raising their colours for the fi rst time this
season, running out comfortable victors by 27
points. With little more than a kick separating
the two sides all day, it took Adam Sleight’s size
13 Puma King and some handy work from James
Musster to blow the game open in the fi nal term.
Joining his skipper in the best for the four Blues,
full-back Jack Matherson kept the ever-damaging
Sab Ciavola goalless. It begs the question, “beat
Ciavola, beat Eltham?”
Bulleen Templestowe has further cemented its
position as ladder leader with a comprehensive
drubbing of Monash in atrocious conditions at
East Caulfi eld Reserve. Despite rain falling for the
entirety of the match, Bulleen’s skills and tenacity
never wavered, proving too much for the top-
heavy Gryphons. Similar to the family cat with an
innocent fi eld mouse, the Bullants toyed with their
prey, before delivering inevitable death, slotting 9
unanswered goals, and creating an unassailable
lead in the process, running out eventual victors
by 73 points. Justin Khouri, colloquially known
henceforth as “The Titanic” was too strong for
the Monash defenders, slotting 4 and Anthony
Lucisano appeared to have his own footy. For
Monash, it was Clint “The Butcher” Mackie and
the feisty Adrian Flowerday that were marginally
brighter lights than the rest.
Out in the wild, if a swan and a lion meet, you’d

STEP ASIDE. IT’S OUR TURN.

probably put your pennies on the Lion to come
up trumps. While it wasn’t the great plains of
the Sahara, the battle at John Pascoe Reserve on
Saturday had a very similar result, Lions taking
the chocolates to the tune of 18 points. Closely
fought up until the last 10 mins of the match,
South Melbourne lead by Josh Lambert and Elliot
Costello managed to stay within arm’s length for
the majority of the match. For the Lions, it was
the Costello brothers and Eugene Benson that
ensured Therry would stay in the top four.
Similar to every week, and probably more as a
guise to shelter my own self-esteem, I tip with
hesitation again. In the game of the round, Eltham
hosts ladder leaders Bulleen. While the Bullants
will fi nd the VAFA’s largest ground diffi cult to
negotiate, they should still take the points.
Monash should re-join the winning fold this
week against St Mary’s, if it doesn’t, I shudder to
think of the consequences. Prahran-Assumption
should account for Therry easily while La Trobe
will fi rmly stick the Cellar Dweller label across St
Leo’s forehead. Rounding out the week, South
Melbourne will have a resounding win at home
against Old Paradians.

Oh Katrina! Why you gotta be mean? Hurricane
Katrina that is, she was defi nitely the bad this
weekend. She said ‘let it rain’ on Tuesday and
four days later it hadn’t let up, producing tough
playing conditions come 2pm Saturday.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest
of them all. Well at this point it’s Yarra Valley,
which left UHS-VU with cold hands after they
had very little action. In fact they were not even
in the same suburb as the Bushrangers. The top
team made light work of its opposition at home
to make it a perfect start to the season. Sam
Savage and James Amos starred in the diffi cult
conditions.
St Francis Xavier gave Hawthorn an absolute
strafi ng on home soil. The X-men certainly
lived out their mantra of the day which was to
start well. Not only did they start well, but they
dominated the middle and then came home
with a wet sail. A disappointing day for the
Hawks was compounded by the fact that they
now sit at the bottom of the table. Hawthorn,
surely the bad.
The good was the game between Albert Park
and Old Westbourne. In an old fashioned slug-
fest at the Peanut Farm, there was hardly a kick
in it all day until Albert Park drew away towards
the end. Westbourne were fi rst to adjust to the
stormy conditions and started accordingly,
kicking away to a slight lead at quarter time.
However it didn’t take long for Albert Park to
get into the swing of things and when they did
they ran right over the top of the boys from the
West and took the four points.
In the clash between Ivanhoe and Kew it was all
about Duck Wood who played his 200th game
for the Hoers. Despite an early cock up (the
banner being destroyed before the Duck ran
through it) the day could not have gone better
for Ivanhoe. They led at every change and
claimed an easy victory. Ash Close was in the
minority in terms of mastering the conditions
and fi nished with six goals and six equally
dramatic celebrations.
In a huge upset Richmond Central defeated
Aquinas by plenty. While the Snakes had to
make six changes from their team that defeated
Hawthorn last week, it didn’t prevent them
coming out with a fi erce attack on the ball.
Aquinas didn’t fi ne-tune their game plan to suit
the surroundings and were unable to attack
with any real swagger opposed to Richmond
who went long at all costs hitting up their tall
forwards.
And fi nally the ‘not evil’ or is it just evil? A draw!
Elsternwick and Power House could not be split
in the storm. In agonising scenes, both teams
scrambled to get that fi nal point that would
divide the two, but it wasn’t to be and Division
Three had its fi rst tie of the year. The House
staged a remarkable fi ght back in the fi nal term
to almost steal a win, but the Wicks who were
without stars Lachie Bedingfi eld and Brian
Mahoney managed to hang on.

This week: UHS-VU to bounce back after they
were a ghost of their best last week. Yarra Valley
will be like bad kids, showing no respect for the
Wicks or authority. I feel St Francis Xavier will
make it a repeat of the Div 4 grand fi nal last year
and defeat the Stationmasters. Ivanhoe should
account for the Hawks who won’t be able to get
their heads off the block. Kew will be too good
for the House at Victory Park and Aquinas will
bounce back from a shock loss to defeat Old
Westbourne.

For the fi rst time this season the weather came
into play in a big way. Melbourne’s unpredictable
weather on Saturday saw most teams wake up to
bright blue, clear skies, which would have brought
with it much optimism for the two hours that
count on any given Saturday in winter.
However, by 2pm the weather had taken a
major turn for the worse and all grounds across
Melbourne were sopping wet and still copping
a hammering of rain. The forecast earlier in the
week predicted wet weather football so coaches
would have selected their teams accordingly. Yet,
there would have been some coaching panels
wondering if they’d made the right decision
earlier in the morning.
The fi ve games on the weekend may have been
played in less than ideal conditions, but the teams
that will feature prominently at the business
end of the season stamped their authority on
the competition. Consistency is critical in this
competition, and it is was no more evident than
on the weekend when runaway leaders South
Mornington and Swinburne Uni continued their
convincing start to the season with comprehensive
victories. At the other end of the spectrum, whilst
they are improving by the week, Manningham
and Chadstone continue to carry the tail.
South Mornington has started the season like a
steam train. Ninety point winners in round one,
followed by ninety-fi ve point victors in round
two, the Tigers have stamped themselves as the
team to beat this season. Box Hill North made the
trip down the Peninsula on the weekend for the
toughest trip in the division. And Despite holding
South Mornington to six fi rst quarter goals with
the wind, the Demons were never in the ball game
and the fl oodgates opened. By the end, the Tigers
had run out 101-point winners, fi nally breaking
the ton barrier that had narrowly eluded them
in recent weeks. Jesse Albrecht continued his
devastating start top the season booting 8 majors
to take his tally to 22 for the season.
West Brunswick hosted Mt Lilydale in the battle of
the two relegated teams from last season. At the
beginning of the season the collective feeling was
that these teams could be a cut above the rest of
Division Four. However, the fi rst two rounds have
told us that they will be nothing but one of the
many contenders in this competition. Coming off
last weeks hiding, Mt Lilydale lead this clash from
start to fi nish sending a statement. It appeared as
if the Magpies didn’t even want to be out there at
times. Several undisciplined off -the-ball incidents
could come under scrutiny with the Match Review
Panel this week. Either way I’m sure that there
will be some changes down Brunswick way. Jesse
Pulkka and Daniel Cerra were instrumental for the
Rams in the win.
A team with a win-loss record over the past couple
of years like Chadstone may be forgiven for having
the weekend off rather than making the big trip
down to Point Cook on the weekend. However,
the Synners came out of the blocks with all guns
blazing on the weekend, playing with a pizzazz
and a fl air that haven’t been associated with
Chadstone for a long time. Point Cook was stung
into action after quarter time, kicking twenty-one
of the last twenty-six goals to blow the Demons
away. Encouraging signs though for Chadstone
and maybe that elusive victory isn’t too far away
after all. Aaron Marsh dominated the forward
fi fty with a bag of seven goals, whilst Tristan
Furr continued his rich vein of form picking up
disposals at will across the ground.
Swinburne Uni has fi rmed in some premiership
markets after another telling performance on
the weekend. The Razorbacks are yet to be
challenged this season and appear to be making
up for their fi nals meltdown last season. The Pigs

hosted North Brunswick on Saturday and found
themselves down at quarter time against a highly
competitive outfi t. However, the Razorbacks
shifted into overdrive in the second half to put the
Bulls away by seven goals in the end. Jason Brun
was everywhere and Aaron Pettifer collected a
swag of possessions and potentially some votes.
Eley Park Sharks were many pundits’ premiership
tip at the start of the season but their shaky form
continued on the weekend with another less
than convincing performance. Taking nothing
away from the vastly improved Cobras, the
Sharks wasted plenty of opportunities before just
sneaking over the line in a tight last second half.
Zaal Khariwala was the Sharks shining light, as
was David Viola who chimed in with half a dozen
goals. For the maligned Manningham side, Scott
McPherson continued his outstanding start to the
season with a best on ground performance, which
included three goals and a mountain of telling
touches around the ground.
TODAY: Mt Lilydale hosts Eley Park in what might
quickly become a waterlogged aff air. Box Hill
North is at home but may have trouble holding off
the Magpie invasion. Chadstone welcomes North
Brunswick – is this THE week? (Ed: It’s already
been quite a week) Manningham Cobras face the
travelling South Mornington, who won’t need a
map once at the ground. Point Cook must prove
its mettle at home against the Razorbacks.

20 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
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
433 488 by 5pm Monday nights.

Pete commenced his involvement as a trainer with
Whitefriars Under 19’s in 2006 after a stint with Yarra
Valley Old Boys. In 2007 Pete accepted the Head Trainers
position at Whitefriars.
Pete is thoroughly professional and his attention to detail
is very much appreciated by everyone at Whitefriars. He
acts as a mentor to all the trainers at our club and when
required is always willing to assist opposition clubs. His
thoughtful game insights are enjoyed by the players
and his no nonsense approach to diagnosing, treating,
managing and reporting player injuries helps keep Friars
on the fi eld.
This week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star is
Courtney Hylton of Collegians.

played in the 2010 APS premiership team,
Courtney is undertaking a cadetship at Ernst and
Young while studying accounting.
Courtney also played for the Western Jets in 2010
and was part of their leadership team in 2011.
A strong and quick player, who is both clean in
the air and below his feet, Courtney has fi tted in
extremely well into an already tight Collegians
backline.
Congratulations Courtney.

RETR
OGeoff Reilley
12 MONTHS AGO – 2011
Collegians became the only undefeated team in Premier A Section following their comprehensive victory over Old Carey, 18.17 to 8.11. Shura Taft was at his brilliant best for the Lions as they systematically took Old Carey apart. Best – Tardif, Shaft (8), Strachan (3), Kondarovskis, Croft, Cassidy (Collegians) and Smithwick, Howat, Willingham, Josephs, Evans (Old Carey).
Premier B revealed a great result for Marcellin when they proved too strong for Beaumaris in an entertaining contest. Trent Carlson and Jonathan Bortolotto were in outstanding form for the Eagles while Matt Petering and Callan Buckley worked extremely hard for Beauy. After a slow start Beaumaris fought back to be only 2 points down at half time. Marcellin’s accuracy kept them in front at three quarter time and they consolidated by the end of the game 13.7 to 9.12. Best – T Carlson, J Bortolotto, Newnes, Birrell, J Carlson, Viney (Marcellin) and Petering, Buckley, Duggan, Atkins, Ensor, Haynes (Beaumaris).
A ‘Big V Memories’ article in The Amateur Footballer featured the recollections of one of amateur football’s real characters, Brett “Bomber” Burden, former Kew champion who went to Ormond late in his career and played in the 1990 A Section premiership with the Monds and
subsequently to SKOBS. ‘Bomber’ was a colorful and talented midfi elder who played under three legendary coaches at State level - Bernie Sheehy, John Fisher and Mike McArthur-Allen (pictured). He was selected in the All-Australian team in 1988 and was great company off the fi eld!
5 YEARS AGO – 2007
South Melbourne Districts, after a sluggish start, overcame a determined Glen Eira, 9.13 to 6.8, and became the only undefeated team in D2 Section. It took a 6.4 last term by the Southerners to get over the line and they would certainly need to be more
rounded in future games. Glen Eira dropped out of the top four as a result of this loss. Best – Atherton, Costello, Kealy, Kohnesheen, Batchelor, Mahoney (South) and Prantzos, Clark (3), Stuchberry, Tkocz, Massis, Clements (Glen Eira). The fi eld umpires were Alan Stubbs and Santo Caruso, two of the VAFAUA’s long serving contributors.
Swinburne Uni ‘broke their duck’ in D3 Section with a strong win over Kew 15.13 to 9.8. It was the second half before Swinburne took control of the game, they certainly looked far more cohesive after half time. Best – Dell’Olio (5), Whiting, Prior, Farrington, Lyons, Walsh (Swinburne) and Wyley, Williams, Looker, Ridd, Evans, Sortino (Kew). Ryan Robertson and the legendary Anthony Damen were the fi eld umpires.
St Mary’s took some time to shake off a very determined Box Hill North but their 6 goals in the third quarter was the game breaker. Best- Armstrong, Dwyer (12), Papaluca, Gatehouse, Lane, Purcell (St Mary’s) and Riscalla, Penny, Cook, Vagias, Martini, Irvine (BHN). St Mary’s received an added bonus when they were awarded $500 from the AFL Victoria draw for Bronze Level Clubs recognizing the club’s Quality Club Program.
10 YEARS AGO – 2002
In D2 Section, Parkside opened up with 5.2 to 0.3 against top four team Peninsula Old Boys. By half time Peninsula had made up some of the diff erence but Parkside were looking strong, determined and dangerous. A rousing half time address stirred the Pirates into action and, with an 8.7 third quarter and showing better fi tness and run, they raced ahead of the Red Devils. Peninsula held control throughout the fi nal term to win 15.15 to 11.8. Best – A Parson, Cannon, Warner, Payze (4), Bowen, Kent (Peninsula) and Romano, Martinez, Hockey, Barlow, Moodie, Schwabl (Parkside).
It was an entertaining contest in D3 Section between Richmond Central and Power House that belied their respective positions at the bottom of the ladder. With only 2 points separating the two teams it was Power House who surged in the third term with 7 goals to 1 and everybody had a hand in the scoring. Power House continued
23THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
on in the last quarter 20.14 to 13.14. Best – Burt, Robinson, Robertson, Haseler, Rainer (3), Boland (Powerhouse) and Trotter, Smith (5), C white, O’Sullivan, Avery, Barry (Richmond).
North Brunswick remained undefeated in D4 section with a narrow victory over Old Westbourne 17.11 to 16.9. It was only in the last quarter that North Brunswick took control. Best – Care, Closter, Verga (5), D Newton (7), Adams, Twaddle (NB) and Bouloh, Horsburgh (4), Wilson, Leitch, Huntington, Fairfi eld (OW).
20 YEARS AGO – 1992
The ladder in D Section evened out when Preston Marist Brothers defeated Old Ivanhoe 17.17 to 17.12 in a thriller where there was never more than a goal the diff erence from half time. Best – O’Brien, McGaw, Hepburn (5), S Tanner (4), A Philp, Smith (Preston) and G Farlacas, M Huber, B Yarwood (3), Young, I Wells, J Weddle (Old Ivanhoe).
Doveton defeated Bulleen United 17.24 to 14.13 in E Section allowing Doveton to stay in touch with the top four. Best – Forgiarini, S Reiger, J Johnston, Ladgrove, Pauline (3), Giddens (Doveton) and Snape, Thompson, Hopkins (5), Deany, May, Cotterill (Bulleen United).
30 YEARS AGO – 1982
There were only three senior teams remaining undefeated across the sections; Old Camberwell and St Kevins Old Boys in C Section and Old Ivanhoe in D Section – the scribe was predicting a great season in this section. Old Camberwell were far too strong for St Kilda CBC 21.10 to 11.11 and St Kevins trounced Fawkner 30.15 to 12.8. Crothers (6) and Steven (3) were the main goal kickers for the Wells and J Griffi n, Hanna (4), Beale (3), Callanan (3) for SKOBS.
The two leading teams in A Section, Marcellin Old Collegians and North Old Boys had comfortable wins and scored freely. Marcellin 25.9 to Old Xaverians 15.21 saw some excellent kicking for goal for the winners, not so good from the Xavs. Best – Cullinan (3), Jones, B Cooper, Reghenzani, T Holmes (4), P Holmes (Marcellin) and Atkinson, P Curtain, J Morrissey (3), Millard, O’Shaughnessy
(4), Carmody (Xavs).
Old Brighton’s accuracy in their B Section match
against Ivanhoe got them over the line 14.7
to 11.17 and the Hoes were very disappointed
with their wasted opportunities. The win for the
Tonners was their fi rst for the season while the
loss for Ivanhoe saw them slip out of the top four.
Best – Wilson, Grant, Beck (5), Charge, Draper, Kent
(OB) and Cameron, Aristotle, Stewart, Course, Bye
(6), Baker (Ivanhoe).
40 YEARS AGO – 1972
State Savings Bank continued on their winning
way in E Section and easily defeated their banking
rivals, ANZ. But what shocking kicking by the
winners – 7.25 to 4.8. Best – Allen, Spithill (3),
Muir, Brennan, James, Tobin (SSB) and McGregor,
Pearson, Male, Sicily, Trimboli, Kirby (ANZ).
Elsternwick won again and were the in fi ne form,
this time versus Old Mentonians. It was close until
half time but the Wicks ran away in the second half
with precision footy. Final score 20.20 to 12.13.
Best – Sharpe (4), Ramsay, Comber, Curtain (4),
Cornehls, Street (Elsternwick) and Wood, Broderick
(5), Hartman, Sullivan, Francis, Uren (Mentonians).
Alan Metcalf became only the second player to
record 200 games for AMP Society. Aff ectionately
known as “The Flea”, Alan had seen seven coaches
come and go and had won the team’s Most
Consistent Award three years running.
60 YEARS AGO – 1952
Duncan Anderson, (pictured) Uni Blues’ champion
full forward, kicked 12
goals in their big win over
Old Paradians 20.16 to 9.13.
In Ivanhoe’s big win over
State Savings Bank, the
stars were Jim and Jack
Neeson, Ken Aldred and
John Manuell for the Hoes.
Commonwealth Bank
(9.14) just scraped in from
Hampton Rovers (9.12).

Former Caulfi eld Grammarian and Uni
Blue John Kanis, who is doing a spot of
broadcasting with 96.5 Inner FM this season
was presented with his old Fieldsman
jumper at Sportscover last Sunday.
Uni Blue fan Warwick Hutchins handed John
his old guernsey, which he had bought at
auction on the occasion of JK’s 300th game,
with the proceeds split between his two
clubs.
Hutchins and Kanis were guests at the
Winning Edge Presentations lunch held
prior to the fi rst Sportscover Arena Match of
the Round.

Young VAFA umpires Ben Nicholson and Andrew
Heff ernan have been selected as participants
in the the AFL Victoria Umpire Mates Program,
which has a successful track record in connecting
fl ourishing local umpires with professional AFL
umpires.
The pair will be under the watchful eye of Shane
McInerney, who has umpired over 300 games,
offi ciated in AFL fi nals, including grand fi nals,
and been the AFL Umpire of the Year.
The aim of the program is to create an
environment in which a ‘mateship’ is formed,
which will help the personal development and
acquisition of knowledge and skills that are
required for young umpires to progress towards
an AFL career.
NEW DESKTOP WEBSITE
But wait, there’s even more. Sometime soon, perhaps
already, the new-look vafa.com.au will appear on your web.
The new site has a separate page for each section and will
feature more colour, video, pics and stories than ever.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
A very happy Mothers’ Day to
all of our Mums. Thousands of
Mums have made signifi cant
contributions to the VAFA and
to our clubs over the years and
we thank them for their service
and their infl uence on their
sons. Every day
should be Mothers’
Day, but make
Sunday especially
memorable.

FAST, FURIOUS . . .
We think our footy is pretty hot, but it’s also family-friendly. This pic was taken at Sportscover
last Saturday. The young ones didn’t seem too interested in the form of Tommy O’Sullivan or Al
Austin. The dog seemed more amused by the kids playing in the Elsternwick Park water feature.
UMPIRES APPRECIATED
It has come and gone again
and all of our umpires were
feted in fi ne style by our clubs.
At Sportscover, Dave Hindle
was waving the fl ags in his
four hundredth VAFA game,
while at the opposite end
we had Chilli Segota, who is
looking forward to 700. Both
were among the panel of
umpires introduced to the
crowd before the game.
At Williamstown CYMS, which
instituted the idea in 2008,
popular AFL goal umpire
Chelsea Roff ey tossed the
coin.

Old Mentonian David Alexander has been a great contributor to the Panthers over
the years. A product of the Club’s Under 19s, David has been a great clubman over the
year and a regular senior player. David’s outstanding fi tness indicates that he has a few
seasons left and we look forward to seeing that unique left foot kicking style for many
more games to come. Fellow Panther Justin Costello has been an integral part of
the club since 1999. Justin has done just about everything for the Panthers including
being Club captain, Club Champion and President and has been an inspiration to all
at the Panthers both on and off the fi eld. and remains an important part of the OMFC
team in 2012.

Ormond’s Shane Metz fi rst Senior game was in 1996, and in the same year he
captained the U19’s. Shane played a signifi cant role in Ormond’s Reserves fl ags of
2007 and 2008. In 2011 he won the Club 18 South Best and Fairest and goal-kicking.
Shane has started 2012 showing great form.
15

Marcellin’s Luke Considine was a key member of the 2008 B Section premiership team,
and the Best and Fairest winner in 2009. He played his fi rst senior game in 2002 as a
back pocket and over time has moved into the midfi eld where he has displayed his
hard running ability and thirst for the contest. Luke has battled serious injury over the
last few years and today’s milestone is just reward for the diligence he has shown right
through his rehab and into training, post-game rehab and pre-game preparation.
15
0 Old Mentonian Nick Fisher has been an outstanding contributor to the Club and has
played at senior, reserves and U19 levels at the Club and won the Reserves’ best and
fairest award in 2010.
10
0 Old Mentonian Tim Speers is the second player of the U19 ‘class of 2006’ to reach the
100 game mark. Tim is a great contributor to the Panthers off the fi eld and he is also
an integral member of the Club’s senior team.
50
Another product of the U19 premiership team, Old Mentonian Matt Jenkins has
been a great contributor to the club over the past six years. Old Geelong’s David
Andrew started at the club in 2009 where he played in an U19 premiership in his fi rst
season. West Brunswick’s Chris Ashley started his career in 2006, and the 50 game
milestone has been a long time coming. Marcellin’s Matthew Gasparini has been a
very welcome addition to the The Nest and has shown some great promise as a half-
forward/on-baller with his incredible pace and hardness at the footy. Aquinas’ Adam
Wilczynski.

We wrote last week about the daunting task
faced by some U19 Premier teams when playing
against competition giants. De La hit the fi eld
with a percentage of four hundred and might
have expected a fairly short sharp eff ort to
draw clear of the 1-1 St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers.
However, the Bellers led narrowly at quarter
time and after failing to kick a major in the
second term fell behind by sixteen points. They
reduced that to just two points at the lemons
and fi nished slightly the stronger to win by fi ve
points. A great eff ort from the Tiges, but DLS
got the win.
Fitzroy had its issues last week, but showed
up a lot stronger this time out. The Lions fell
behind in the fi rst term, went further back in
the second, but mounted a strong eff ort in
the second half to prevent further fl ooding.
Eamonn Scott booted four for the Roys while
Dylans Patcas and Leech were high in their best.
Old Xaverians beat Old Scotch in a tight one.
Though they led all afternoon, Xavs failed to
shake the Red Men. Nick Sharkey and Lachlan
Smyth traded hat-tricks as the Red and Blacks
held the Cards at bay.
St Bernard’s stayed unbeaten when it was too
strong for Beaumaris. Mike Hughes slammed
though fi ve and was best on as the Snow dogs
Rolled. Nathan Heaton was best for the Sharks.
The Varsity Derby is always a highly anticipated
event and a hotly contested aff air. Les Bleus led
this one by fi fteen points and won it by twenty,
with Pat Gardiner booting four of the victors’
seven majors.
In Section 2, St Kevin’s shot away in the fi rst
term and again in the last to beat the previously
loss-less Fieldsmen comfortably. Zach Ginies
was best for Kevs and Lachy Nankervis booted
three, while Caulfi eld was best served by Matt
McTernan.
Old Brighton took on Werribee Districts in top
versus bottom fi xture, but the game was close
throughout. A point the diff erence at the half,
fi ve points at the lemons, but fi fteen at the end
as the Tonners steadied to take the points. Tom
Hamilton was named best and Mick Tregear
got three for the winners, while three Matts
– Turner, Fitzpatrick and Despott – were in
everything for the Bees.
Another close one in the Bulleen Derby as
the Ts beat Marcellin by a goal, or, to report
inaccuracy more accurately, six points. The
Eagles began better but blew its fi rst quarter.
Trinity were as prodigal in the second and at
three quarter time, Marcellin led by 14 points.
Trinity not only had shots in the fi nal term, they
nailed them to steal the points.
Old Haileybury trailed for most of the afternoon
but not at the fi nal siren. Old Carey faded in the
fourth and went down. Matt Mitchell kicked
four for the Magentas, while Jordan Ceppi had
the same for the Panthers.
In Section 3, Mazenod was all over Ormond and
beat them by 98 points. The Greco Bros booted
fi ve between them and Alex Benbow got three
as the Nodders jumped away early and were
never caught. Blair Atkins booted the Monders’
only major.
Northern Blues easily accounted for Collegians,
with Damon Marcon and Leigh Judd in top
form. The Lions were well served by Nick
Blackney and Lindsay Apted.
DE LA GETS THERE - JUST.
49THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
PEGS rumbled over Bernies in the Northwest
Derby. Matt Semini and Brett Hannah were
omnipresent for the Peggers, while Andrew
Zammit was in good form for the Snow Dogs.
Old Xavs managed just a solitary behind in the
fi nal term and was overrun by the Wellers. Toms
Schipper and Stayner were in everything for
Camberwell, while Xavs were well served by
Tim Fenton.
In the North, La Trobe pounded Emmaus
St Leo’s, but best for the plucky Two Blues
were Robert Staley, Justin Petrulis, Alexander
McDougall, Sam Symeonidis, Steven Downie,
Adam LaRiccia
Melbourne High was no match for Therry
Penola, but Jerome Ah-kan , Liam Ferris,
Tom Fernie, Peter Melilli, Sam Hayes, Michael
Hughes, Sam Shearer, Marco Dogliotti, Jake
Duell and Tom Fernie plugged away for the
Unicorns.
Willy CYMS kept Old Geelong at bay and won
by twelve points. Trent Dimitriou slotted for for
CYs, while Rupert Kemp from OG vied with CY’s
Nick Holdsworth for best on ground honours.
Ivanhoe ploughed AJAX, though Ashley
Shenker, Adam Lerner, Jordan Rubinstein,
excelled for the Jackers, who were always
against it after a slow fi rst term.
In the South, Lewis Emmerson booted eleven
as Parkdale Vultures pelted Beaumaris. “Emmo”
was accorded BOG honours, while Josh Nicklin
was best for the Sharks.
St Bede’s/Mentone Tigers sneaked home
against top of the table De La Salle, reversing
the fortunes from the U19 Premier clash. Steve
Lay got six for the Tiges and Rob McCarthy
nailed four for the Bellers and both were praised
highly in their respective team’s dispatches.
Hayden Brodie dominated action as the Pirates
over-ran Hampton Rovers. The Green and Gold
could muster only a solitary goal in the fi rst half
and despite doubling that output in the second,
were no match for their Southern cousins.
St Mary’s Salesian beat Monash Blues, with
Chris Hill kicking four. Chris Wheeler kicked four
for the ‘Ashes, who shot straight, but not quite
often enough. Billy Anderson was best for the
Sainters, while Ollie Fitzpatrick was strong for
the Sky Blues.

56 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
Cam- It’s fantastic to be back in Melbourne, and
back to the VAFA after a few weeks in China.
A big thanks to Macca for looking after the
column for the fi rst couple of weeks, and to the
coaching panel for appointing me to the fi rst
two games in Premier C. A draw and a 2-pointer
in the fi rst two weeks....not sure I want to move
back up the grades!
“Wow, those two are hot!”
A member of the VAFAUA executive received
a text from his much better half last Saturday
afternoon who had been watching a friend
play at Beaumaris. It read along the lines of ‘I
spent the afternoon perving at the two fi eld
umpires.....Joe (Hartwig) and some other
young guy’. Further investigation revealed that
Hoops also had that game (let’s assume he’s
the “young guy”). Sadly the third umpire didn’t
rate a mention. ‘Droppy’ must be on the wrong
side of 40.....
Family Football (continued)
Following up a story from two weeks ago where
we listed all the family members on our list, as
expected we missed a few, so major apologies
to the following. Father and son Ray (goal) and
Frank (fi eld) Stokes, and of course father and
son fi eld umpires David and Tom Windlow.
With this year’s infl ux of new young boundary
and goal umpires we’re sure to have missed
a few more so feel free to let us know. We do
however note the Meadows’, the Adams’
the Quinlivens, the Bevans, the Booths, the
Powers, the Andersons, the Logozzos, and
the Locandros. Fantastic to see such a huge
family involvement within our ranks.
Milestone
Another one this week as Andrew Hartnett
notches up 50 VAFA games. Andrew joined us
UMPI
RES Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson
CAM’S BACK!from Yarra Valley OB a few years ago and is yet
another example of a club person succeeding
with the transition to the whistle.
Umpire Appreciation Day
Once again Umpire Appreciation Day was
acknowledged by the Williamstown CYMS
Football Club last week. The day was also
acknowledged throughout all VAFA sections
and we as a group appreciated it. Hopefully we
can keep the respect going.

Dane Thomas kicked six and Kieren Delaney
four as Werribee Districts beat favoured
Oakleigh by fi ve goals. It was an even start, but
the Bees moved into gear in the second term
and blitzed in the last. Mason Smith and Nick
Christou stood tall for the Tiges, while the Oaks
had Luke Daidone and Luke Gogis travelling
nicely.
St Mary’s Salesian booted fi ve in the fi rst term
against St Bernard’s but ended up winning by
just three points in a bogged down aff air. Dylan
Gook was the Saints’ only multiple goalscorer.
Rupertswood smote Williamstown CYMS in a
lopsided western derby. Josh Ferraro kicked
four for the Rupo, while CYS saved their only
only goal for the fi nal term, a cracker from
Darcy Wall.
This week, it’s tough to see Oakleigh going
down to Willy, but expect a stronger showing
from the Seagulls. St Bernard’s welcome
Rupertswood and their overlapping histories
provides an interesting backdrop. I think Rupo
here. I suspect Werribee Districts will be too
strong for UHS-VU Flemington, who return
after the bye.

With twenty per cent of the season played,
the ladders have taken shape with only three
of the twenty-two competitors undefeated.
Conditions experienced during Round 3 games
may have contributed to some unexpected
results as the comparative ability of the
competitors became more apparent.
In Section 1, the big surprise (at least to me) was
St Bernard’s forty-seven point defeat of Monash
Blues for whom the “Great Trek” and early
morning start must have added to the Snow
Dogs’ on fi eld supremacy. At Darling Park, Old
Xaverians maintained its unbeaten record with
a fi fty-nine point win over Prahran/ Assumption,
whose poor form must be causing concerns
around Toorak Park. In the afternoon game,
De La Salle moved into fi fth place through its
forty point win over Williamstown CYMS. De
La Salle’s accuracy was a feature of the game,
which sent the CYs tumbling to seventh place.
Fitzroy won its fi rst game with a fi fteen point
margin over Therry Penola, which remains
winless. In the 3079 showdown, Ivanhoe, with
Tim Sheahan outscoring Old Ivanhoe himself,
moved up to sixth place through their forty six
point victory. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s lead
in the competition was short lived because
through their seventy fi ve point defeat by Old
Melburnians, the Brunswick based side slid to
third place.
In Section 2, two of my fi ve selections proved
wrong. Old Geelong, whose form is a tipster’s
nightmare, easily defeated the previously
unbeaten Bulleen Templestowe by eighty eight
points. At Bundoora, Kew proved me a poor
judge when they won their fi rst game by beating
Old Paradians by eight points. Richmond
Central Cardinals moved to third place with a
one hundred and six point win over Eley Park.
Unbeaten Therry Penola kicked the Section
Sweep when they infl icted a one hundred and
twenty two point defeat on Richmond Central
Snakes. Forward, Raymond Steer had a day out
for Therry Penola by kicking nine goals. Leader
Hawthorn was much too strong for UHS-VU
whose players were again unable to apply
scoreboard pressure as Hawthorn won by one
hundred and twelve points.
TODAY: Section 1: Two early morning games
are scheduled i.e. Williamstown C.Y.M.S. and St
Bernard’s and Therry Penola playing De La Salle.
I favour Williamstown CYMS mainly through its
home ground advantage. De La Salle should
consolidate their top six position by recording
a big win over Therry Penola, who languish
eleventh. Old Melburnians should continue on
their winning way against Monash Blues even
though the game is at the University. Ivanhoe,
with Tim Sheahan dominant up forward, should
account for North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s even on
the Gillon Reserve. First meets twelfth when Old
Xaverians host Old Ivanhoe. It would surely be
one of the all time VAFA upsets if Old Ivanhoe
were to win this game. Prahran Assumption
journey to Clifton Hill to play Fitzroy. The Four
Blues bring little form to this game although
their long standing stars Craig Berger and Jason
Storer are capable of troubling Fitzroy. At home

I select Fitzroy … just!
Section 2: Bulleen-Templestowe should regain
“that winning feeling” today by defeating UHS-
VU. Old Geelong travels out east to meet Eley
Park, which is yet to win. This is one game Old
Geelong should win. I select them despite
an uneasy feeling based on Old Geelong’s
enigmatic record. In what could be a fi nal
preview, Richmond Central Cardinals journey
to Hawthorn, who certainly must be fl ag
favourites. Hawthorn is my selection although
the margin should give a good guide to the
Cardinals’ rating in the Section. Therry Penola
journey to Kew where they should prove too
talented for the home side. Richmond Central
Snakes welcome Old Paradians to the Bartlett
Oval. The Paradians disappointed last week
and today, I suspect they will just take the four
points after a dour struggle.
