1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
April 5 is the earliest start to a VAFA season in living
memory. Having a stand-alone Premier Grand Final
and Easter occurring late in April has caused this
earlier than usual commencement time. Previously
Round 1 has been scheduled as late as the last
weekend in April. This early commencement has
caused some issues for clubs fi nalising grounds
and teams which in turn has impacted on fi xtures.
Still, we got underway last weekend and with
Premier joining the rest of the competition we
have a full book of matches this weekend.
The safety of all players has been highlighted with
an unfortunate incident where Newcastle Knights
player Alex McKinnon was left a suspected
quadriplegic. McKinnon was brought out of an
induced coma two weeks ago following surgery
on his fractured C4 and C5 vertebrae.
Last weekend two country football matches were
called off after players suff ered neck injuries. An
Ovens and Murray League match between Albury
and Yarrawonga was called off in the second
quarter after an ambulance was called to transport
Albury player James McQuillan to hospital with
concerns for his neck. McQuillan had scans at
Albury Hospital on Saturday night before he was
placed in an induced coma for safety reasons and
fl own to Melbourne.
The Heathcote District League clash between
Elmore and Heathcote was also abandoned in the
second quarter after Heathcote coach Grant Ford
copped a knock in general play and hurt his neck.
Recently the AFL has been strong on preventing
the potential for such injuries and have deemed
that any head high contact with a player would
result in a free kick being given to the player who
received the contact. This no tolerance principle
may have led to many players leading with the
head and working a free kick. As a response the
AFL has this year decided that this action is to be
outlawed and any player leading with the head
will not be given the free.
The NRL cases and the AFL incidents are diff erent.
The NRL case involved a tackle where a player
was lifted and ended up head fi rst onto the
ground. This type of tackle is outlawed in the AFL
and is thankfully rarely seen on our grounds. In
Australian Rules the problem occurs when a player
leaves his head unprotected and receives contact
either from the front or side.
When I grew up playing football we were always
taught to protect your head. Maybe the game was
a lot rougher then and the elements of protecting
yourself were always at the front of mind. Possibly,
today’s players don’t have that same fear element
of getting met aggressively, some may say
illegally, by an opposition player and are therefore
less inclined to concern themselves about safety.
When approaching the ball I was always instructed
to turn your body and get your backside between
yourself and the oncoming player – never leave
your head out there to get knocked off . Not only
would this protect your head but also give you
the opportunity to receive a free for in the back.
A much better result than trying to work a free for
around the neck.
One could argue whether paying every free kick
for head high incidents has led to more players
leading with the head but we can’t argue that
players need to be better educated in learning
to protect themselves and approach the ball in
the safest way. Australian Rules is a diffi cult game
to master with players approaching you from
all angles, so teaching our players the best way
to protect themselves is a responsibility of all
coaches, especially those at the junior level.

WATCH EVERY PREMIER GAME AT WWW.VAFATV.COM
Welcome to the 2014 season. Whilst the rest
of the competition started last week it didn’t
quite feel right checking livescores.vafa.com.au
last week and not seeing any Premier matches
taking place. Given the recent AfL Victoria Metro
Championships result and indeed the recent
results of the VAFA’s rep program, it could quite
reasonably be argued that Premier Section
of the VAFA is the best senior competition
in country outside of the AFL and the State
Leagues. We have some wonderful players,
astute pioneering coaches and of course a great
standard of footy to watch every week and it is
great to have it back.
The stakes don’t get any higher unless you are
in a fi nal. Round 1 is the home and away fi xture
win most coveted by every single club. A whole
preseason of training, learning game plans and
preparing for a match that can kick start your
year. Win round one and all is well in the world,
all the preparation has been worth it. Lose and
more questions asked and fi ngers pointed
than an episode of Poirot. I may have lost many
readers with the reference to Poirot, but the fall
out from a round one loss is magnifi ed more
than any other loss throughout the season.
Remember the endless analysis of the AFL sides
that lost their opener. Season over! Game plan
up in smoke? Off fi eld distractions! What have
they been doing all summer? Just some of the
many accusations that were thrown. So what are
the prospects of the ten clubs striving to be there
on the (second) last Saturday in September.
Beaumaris - The Sharks were magnifi cent early
last year before a late season rally saw them
earn a well deserved second crack in Premier.
Tom Dean and Matt Petering are stars, but they
do bat deep. Whilst they might be disgruntled
missing out Jason Blake returning to his old
club, they have secured the services of Raphael
Clarke. They also targeted and got Steve
Lawrence back to a senior coaching job and he
takes the helm of a side with more upside in
them than many might think.
Collegians - Played two practice matches against
St Bernards and Old Trinity, within these two
matches the men in purple played two of the best
quarters of football they have played in sometime.
Both were opening term assaults so look for
Collegians to jump out early in their matches.
Much to improve on last year and promisingly
have 17 Premier Sections premiership players fi t
and available. The loss of Jack Bull to Old Scotch
hurts but the biggest in is new senior co-coach
Darren Baxter to join Mark Hibbins. They have
plenty to be quietly confi dent about.
De La Salle - Much like last year ‘s week-to-week
team, there have been a number of changes,
most notably the coaching group, with Paul
Satterly bringing his AFL and VFL experience
to Waverley Park. Matt Fieldsend and Sam
Williams are back on a more permanent basis,
but Woodrow Medallist Jake Williams will likely
spend the whole year at Collingwood’s VFL.
Importantly they have gained height with old
boys Ant Furato (Frankston),Oscar Persson
(Sandy) joining Tom McMahon back at the club.
Old Brighton - After the euphoria of the Club’s
2013 Premiership, Old Brighton Grammarians
are thrilled to test their abilities back in Premier

Section. Simon Williams has most of last year’s
squad intact, and although the Tonners will
miss James North and Tom Mariani, who is
overseas, they do regain ruckman Matt Smith,
experienced Josh Homann and B&F winner Matt
Gadsden. Youngsters Harry Cannon, Charlie
King and Ollie Cavallaro will step up.
Old Scotch –The Cardinals are due. They have
been in years before but it feels diff erent
this time. Andrerson and Powell are in year
three their plan and they have one of the best
midfi elders in the comp returning home in Jack
Bull, also Eugene Routman steps up from AJAX.
The services of Lindsay Gilbee will be reduced, as
will those of Woodrow runner up, Nick Jamieson
and young gun Jordan Clarke (Footscray VFL).
However, Old Scotch have depth and some
quality youngsters coming through.
Old Trinity – Whilst devastated with a Grand
Final loss last year, the OT’s will be a far superior
group to the one that departed Premier in 2012.
Brendan Iezzi is one of the premium midfi elders
in the competition, Henry Winter will ruck and
Jake Walsh are good inclusions. Only real losses
are Christian Butler (overseas) and the retirement
of a certain Andrew Ramsden (see page 48). I
expect Old Trinity to be very competitive.
Old Xaverians – I wrote a headline last year of
death taxes and Old Xaverians playing fi nals.
It is hard to look past the reigning premiers to
again be amongst the contenders. Nick Bourke is
an out as Dom Berry takes sole control but the
other outs are also telling. Ryan Colbert and Sam
Tagliabue both depart for the country and there
were retirements of fantastic players like Lynch,
Sapuppo and Rogerson. The two Ambroses Pat
(AFL) and Murphy (VFL) are also out. Nick Wynne
was to play VFL but having broken his foot will
most likely resume in red and black. Cayden
Beetham is a great inclusion and there is plenty of
depth so Xavs fans shouldn’t be too concerned.
St Bedes/Mentone Tigers – As demoralising
as last year’s grand fi nal loss might have been
there is no doubt that the Tigers would be
taking the positives out of the day. They had
so much youth in that side and their upwards
curve is looking great. Mick Dwyer is a fantastic
leader and an onfi eld leader in James Tyquin
has returned as has Pat Liston from Bonbeach.
Unfortunately Dean Porter and Hiwad Shaikaib
will both spend large chunks of the year
overseas but there are plenty of reasons to smile
at Brindisi St.
St Bernards – The rumblings from the Snakepit
have been big in the pre-season. New coach
Anthony Rock has instilled a belief that the
players can make an impact on Premier this
year. Liam Wilkinson and Tim Harvey have
retiredwhilst Van Meel, Houlihan and Gosso
departed for other competitions. Chad Jones
(Claremont) is the big in with Alex McLeod and
Jake Calvery new plus Josh Madden returning
from overseas the list is primed to fi re.
University Blacks – If it has been noisy at the
Snakepit, then the off -season whispers have
been deafening at the University. Blacks – and
Blues for that matter – are expected to do
very well in their respective sections this year.
McCauley is out, but the recruits of Jason Blake
and Simon Hogan are testament to the pulling
power of the Blacks and by all accounts new
coach Cam Roberts has taken to the full time job
like a duck to water.
Five new coaches, ten great teams and a few
splinters in the bum has me sitting on the fence
when it comes to producing a ladder. So I will
present the following crystal ball predictions
and wish you all the best in 2014. Premiers: Old
Xaverians; Big Improver: Old Trinity; Woodrow:
Chris Waller (Old Xavs)
4 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
Round one saw AJAX give Old Ivanhoe a baptism
of fi re in their welcome back to Premier B footy;
Uni Blues make a statement to the competition
against Old Melburnians; Caulfi eld take care
of Old Haileybury away; Fitzroy account for
St Kevins at TH King; and relegated Old Carey
outclass the promoted Mazenod. Good luck if
you tipped that!
AJAX won the inaugural Henry Jolson Cup at
Chelsworth Park, by beating Old Ivanhoe in
the fi rst fi xture for the season. After unfurling
their Premier C Premiership fl ag, Old Ivanhoe
struggled to put any scoreboard pressure on
their rivals. David Fayman kicked fi ve goals for
the victors, while debutant Dean Rotenberg
was a pest up forward sneaking four majors.
Delmonte was good across half back before
a cameo forward with two goals for the home
team, but it was not enough. The Hoes added a
fl utter of goals in the fi nal term; but the match
was well and truly done at that point. AJAX
proved themselves as worthy contenders for
season 2014, while Old Ivanhoe were simply
outplayed at a higher grade of footy and will
surely bounce back this week.
Henry Jolson was a legendary member of AJAX’s
fi rst premiership in 1966, a game they won
against Old Ivanhoe. The centre half forward
was one of the club’s all-time greats, a brilliant
high mark, a long, accurate kick and a sprint
champion..Jolson passed away last year at 66,
and both clubs agreed to honour him with a
commemorative game and cup each season.
At Melbourne University, the home side brought
all their Premier Section class with them to
Premier B. Eight goals in the fi rst quarter, one
of which came from a Dom Nixon hanger, saw
them lead 54 points to 14 at the fi rst break
and have the game fi rmly in their control. Old
Melburnians dug their heels in during the
second quarter, slowing the pace of the game
and adding some scoreboard pressure. Led by
Paule, Old Melburnians constricted the midfi eld
in the third quarter kicking one goal to the
Blues’ none. However the fl oodgates well and
truly opened in the fi nal term, with the Blues
making good use of Cam Williams’ dominance in
the ruck and adding 10 goals to the scoreboard.
Dom Nixon kicked four for the game and was
seemingly everywhere in the Blues’ forward
50, while youngsters Williams, Blakely, Curnow
and Rippon were more than handy around
the ground. Hywood kicked four of Old
Melburninan’s eight goals in an impressive
performance, while Paule and Cumbrae-Stewart
showed some grit in the midfi eld.
With no one over 26, it was a young Caulfi eld
Gr. team who took to the park against Old
Haileybury. Noticeably bigger bodied after a
preseason under professional strength and
conditioning program, Caulfi eld looked to have
progressed to a higher standard of football.
After losing star recruit Andrew McGuinness
to a hamstring injury early in the fi rst quarter,
Caulfi eld’s youngsters put on a good display
to account for their opponents by fi ve goals.
O’Keefe was strong for Caulfi eld up forward,
slotting four majors, while Leigh and Price were
ubiquitous around stoppages. Meehan led
the home side’s goal kicking charge with four
and Povey, Witherow and Nicolopoulos were
best around the ground in a game that Old
Haileybury can take a number of positives from.
In what was an unpredictable game between
sides that didn’t play in the Premier B last
season, it was the relegated outfi t that got the
jump. Old Carey began the game with seven
goals in the opening term to the Northerly
end, which was being favoured by a moderate

breeze. Carey’s inaccuracy in front of goal
gave Mazenod chances throughout out the
game, but Old Carey’s skill was too much to
overcome. The Carey midfi eld combination of
Rice, Smithwick, Howat and Roach were very
clean around the ground and moved the ball
decisively. Port Melbourne release player Guy
Dickson, who is still under–19 eligible, played an
outstanding fi rst up senior game and alongside
fellow youngster Andrew Sloane demonstrating
there is some quality up and coming talent in
the Carey ranks.. Inglis, Mann and Phibbs were
best on for Mazenod, who have learnt some
valuable lessons in higher grade footy and will
move forward positively into next week.
Fitzroy proved too strong for St Kevins at T H
King Oval, coming from behind to win by 14
points. Turner starred up forward for Fitzroy,
kicking fi ve goals, as Baker and Mackay made
the play around the ground. Kanakis was good
for the home side up forward, kicking three
goals, as were Karageorgiou and Ring, however
it wasn’t enough to stop the run of Fitzroy who
over ran St Kevins late in the game.
Next week sees Old Haileybury travel to the
historic Brunswick Street Oval in Fitzroy and
have a chance to add themselves to the winners
column. In an enticing encounter, Old Carey host
Uni Blues in a clash of the relegated.Mazenod
have their work cut out, making the trip to Gary
Smorgon Oval for a fi xture against the powerful
and inform AJAX. Old Ivanhoe have a chance
to bounce back against Caulfi eld at Glenhuntly
Oval. Finally , rivals Old Melburnians play St
Kevins at Junction Oval in a game that will see
one of the two more fancied pre season sides
begin the season an unfavourable 0-2.

6 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
Hampton was the quickest away, Peninsula is surging forward, Marcellin have settled on the speed closely followed by Old Camberwell, two lengths to Pegs, Monash are pushing up three wide, on the inside is Oakleigh, a length to Ormond, further back is Banyule and Parkdale who missed the jump is a mile back, last.
Nothing can prepare you for the fi rst ten minutes of a round one encounter. The frenetic pace of the game. The hits and blocks to the body. The mental application needed to push through that initial pain threshold. Struggling through the lack of oxygen in your lungs after willing yourself to make that chase, or apply that extra shepherd. This week determined who could settle their nerves the best and adapt to the heat of round one action. It was a case of who could play four quarters of consistent footy. For some they succumbed to a second half fadeout whilst momentary lapses in concentration cost others.
There were certainly no signs of a premiership hangover at Boss James Reserve as The Rovers sent an ominous warning to the rest of the competition with an 85 point demolition of Parkdale. The Vultures were still in the hunt at half time but any hopes of a comeback were snuff ed out by a dominant second half display that saw the Rovers boot 16 goals to fi ve. Daniel Corp (7) and Ed Turner (4) did the bulk of the damage whilst Jay Ting was named best afi eld. For the vanquished, Sean Hendricks and Chad Ryan worked tirelessly all day and were rewarded with two goals each. The Vultures backline were put under enormous stress as the Rovers peppered the goals all day – registering 38 scoring shots. To Parkdale’s credit they were able to bring some respectability to the scoreboard in the fi nal term.
Ormond got a taste of the standard required for Premier C football going down by 43 points to a Marcellin side that led all day. The game was evenly poised at half time, but a strong second half by the Eagles ensured they opened their 2014 account. Dominic Bolger played a starring role in the win booting four majors, ably
supported by Patrick Millsom and Jarrod Carlson who were instrumental. The Monders were left to rue inaccurate goal kicking as they kicked 5.18 for the day, having only three less scoring shots than the Eagles. A four-goal surge in the premiership quarter set up the win for The Eagles. Despite the best eff orts of Thomas Cameron (2) and Luke Duthie, The Monders failed to hit the scoreboard when it counted late in the game. No doubt some goal kicking practice will be on the agenda at training this week.
An arm-wrestle developed at Frearson Oval as the Monash Blues and Old Camberwell traded blows. In what was a tight contest for three quarters, the game opened up in the last term as the Wellers prevailed by 15 points. Jack Duke was lively up forward for the Wellers kicking fi ve majors and Samuel Killworth chipped in with two of his own. Stephen Romanin and James Howells had plenty of it for the Wellers, whilst Tim Mackenzie was a solid contributor for the Blues. The Blues struggled to fi nd an avenue to goal with Zac Ledin (2) their only multiple goal kicker. When the game went up a notch in the fi nal term the Wellers backline were able to hold fi rm and show poise to retain possession. Monash wasted their fi nal quarter scoring opportunities, unable to fi nd targets when going inside 50.
PEGS and Oakleigh played out a seesawing battle that saw Oakleigh cough up a valuable 15 point lead at three quarter time. Held goalless in the fi nal term, the Krushers were overrun by a fast fi nishing PEGS outfi t, eventually going down by 11 points. For The Krushers Aaron Cloke thrived in his new role down back whilst Tim Scott (4) and Steve Tolongs (3) caused major headaches for the Bombers defence. Coach Jamie Mollo

didn’t lament over the loss and was pleased with the eff orts of his chargers. PEGS held a handy 14 point buff er at half time but a third term lapse in concentration almost cost them the game, as tempers fl ared in a ferocious contest. However the PEGS outfi t were able to regroup and restrict Oakleigh to a solitary behind in the fi nal quarter. Jarryd French and Daniel Flaherty were among Pegs’ best, along with Skurrie who led the way with three majors.
The Pirates held off a number of second half Banyule challenges to win by 37 points. Peninsula set up the win with a powerful fi rst half display, kicking four unanswered goals into the breeze in the fi rst quarter. In his fi rst game, Feldgen was named best afi eld as he ran rampant across half back, Glenn led the midfi eld brigade and veteran Powney mopped up down back. When many thought the game was over, Banyule had other ideas. Smith and French led a Banyule resurgence in the third term, bringing
the margin back to just three goals. However the fi ghtback had taken its toll on the Banyule players. Halfway through the fi nal term the Pirates answered Coach Claringbold’s calls for a ‘lift’ slamming on three goals in quick succession, to defl ate the Bears. The Bears were unable to contain Peninsula’s fi repower up forward, with the Pirates fi nishing with seven multiple goal kickers.
I expect Monash to bounce back and get on the winners list in 2014 when they do battle with Parkdale at Gerry Green Reserve and Old Camberwell will continue their winning form with a win at home against PEGS. In what shapes as the match of the round I’m tipping Marcellin, aided by the home ground advantage, to upset the Hampton Rovers in a tight one. Similarly Banyule should get the points at home against Ormond, and I think Peninsula will have too much class and experience to defeat Oakleigh.

YARRA VALLEY’S ROB DREW WALKS AND
WALKS AND WALKS…
On Saturday March 1st 2014, Yarra Valley Old
Boys senior coach Rob Drew completed the
most inspirational fundraising eff ort that the
football club has seen in its 21 year existence.
Setting off from Sorrento at 3am, Rob walked
to the Bushrangers’ new home ground in Leeds
Street Doncaster. The journey took him more
than 20 hours and in doing so, he raised more
than $30,000 to help with the fi t out of the
clubs new rooms. With the club relocating to a
new home, an extraordinary fundraising eff ort
was going to be needed to ensure that the
new home would be everything that the club
needed and would provide the players the best
opportunity to perform. So Rob went to club
president Ron Garlepp with his “crazy idea” to
walk 100km to raise $50,000 for the club. With
the season fast approaching, Rob didn’t want
to put his players at risk of injury so took on
the task himself. Training for the journey had
been considerably shorter than the 100km to
be walked with the longest training distance
just 23kms. Whether or not this would be a
problem only time would tell. After a restless
night, Rob and his support crew set off and
were accompanied by many patrons of “The
Conti” on their way home. After 4 hours, as he
approached Mt Martha, the sun rose, and whilst
he was still walking well, the sun was a welcome
relief as the road and hills around Mt Martha
are quite treacherous and he was on his own
at this stage and in his own words was starting
to get bored. In a strange role reversal, it was
the cyclists who were abusing him and telling
him to get off the road. Frankston marked the
halfway point, Rob was striding well, but the
feet were beginning to become a factor. The
positive was that he was ahead of his schedule,
but in the back of his mind was the fact that he
was still only half way. As the day wore on Rob
continued, regularly joined by members of the
playing group and supporters, but at 74kms
things became really tough. After continuous
cramping it appeared that the walk was over.
Rob thought he was done. It took a member
of his support walkers to get him through with
quick spot of massage and encouragement.
Fear of failing the task and letting down the
club and those that had sponsored him was
another driving factor in getting him back on
his feet and so he set off again, to complete
the fi nal quarter of his journey. With the sun
setting as he was walking past his workplace, he
fi nally saw Doncaster appear on a road sign his
support crew tried to lift his spirits, telling him
that he was nearly there. However, knowing
that the journey takes 20 minutes by car and
with his walking pace slowing considerably due
to fatigue and the relentless pain in his feet, Rob
knew that he still had a long way to go. At this
point Rob was about an hour behind his plan
and relied of his support crew to keep his spirits
up. As the support crew rotated, each new
member spurred him on. In the last 4kms Rob’s
parents joined him to fi nish it off . Unfortunately
for Rob, he miscalculated the distance from
Middleborough Rd to the ground, and there was
one fi nal hill which he audibly cursed. Every step
was like walking on broken glass. Past players
and committee joined him in the fi nal stages
and would have carried him home if need be.
But the Yarra Valley coach is a determined man
and this was his crazy idea. So at 11:27pm, after
more than 20 hours on his feet, 10 pairs of socks
and 100km, Rob Drew completed the journey
to the adulation of those that braved the chilly
night to see him home. In addition to being
determined, Rob is also very humble. Many

CANTERBURY POST MATCH BAND
Each year clubs are looking at new and
innovative ways to get both the home and away
supporters to hand around post match and enjoy
a celebratory or commiserative drink. One club
that is leading the way is new club Canterbury
who entertained all their bar guests by having a
live band in at the post match. The home team
won their fi rst ever match in the VAFA and the
band 2econd Chan3 were there to help the
players, supporters and sponsors celebrate.
HENRY JOLSON CUP
Old Ivanhoe and AJAX played in their round 1
Premier B opener last week and both clubs got
together to strike and play for the Henry Jolson
Cup. Henry Jolson OAM, QC, who passed away
late 2013 at the age of 66, will be remembered
by many for a distinguished legal career that
spanned almost 40 years.
While he was named a Legend of the Bar in 2012,
Henry also held legendary status as a member of
AJAX Football Club’s fi rst premiership team in 1966.
Many supporters and team mates said Henry
Jolson became a household name in the Jewish
community during his playing days. “He was
one of the club’s all-time greats — the perfect
centre half forward. A brilliant high mark, a
long, accurate kick and a sprint champion.”
As tribute to Henry’s qualities as “a player, a
person and a mediator” AJAX FC joined with
long-time VAFA rival (and loser of that 1966
Premiership match), Old Ivanhoe Grammarians,
to inaugurate a perpetual trophy in his memory.
The proposal for the trophy was put forward by
past Old Ivanhoe captain-coach Bruce Jeeves,
who enlisted the support of friend and former
schoolmate Michael Roth to gain approval
from the committees of both clubs. That trophy
was fi rst played for last week and we are sure
that Henry would have been happy to see his
Jackers do the right thing and claim the fi rst
one! (Pictured are captain Nick Marks (r) and
Vice Captain Josh Ludski (l) holding the trophy.)
would be looking for recognition and when
asked how he would like to be remembered he
merely answered, “Someone who put himself
out there and followed through” and that he
“would do it again if needed”. As for the walk
itself, he doesn’t want it put on any pedestal but
to be remembered as a as “just another thing
that somebody did to raise money for the club”.
Rob’s walk was an example to all who pull on
the jumper as to what self-sacrifi ce is all about
and not being scared to put it all on the line and
have a crack. To those that have formally worn
the red, yellow and black and those behind the
scenes, it was about reminding them how much
the club means to them.
Yarra Valley is a football club that is so much
more that a place to play a game. It is a part of
our lives and we will do whatever is needed to
support the club and one of our own, no matter
how crazy the idea.

PAT AMBROSE STARTS WITH A BANG AT
THE BOMBERS
Quite literally Patrick Ambrose started his AFL
career with a bang as he backed back into a
pack only to be crunched by the traffi c behind
him when he made his debut in Essendon’s
round 1 win over North Melbourne.
The former Old Xaverians forward and Big V
representative was promoted to Essendon’s
senior list on the eve of Round 1 and in his fi rst
two matches, has made an immediate impact
for the Bombers. Putting his body on the line
multiple times in the win over the Kangaroos
before a 3 goal second half performance in the
narrow loss to the Hawks had everyone in the
football world singing his praises. Least of all
his coach Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson who was
considering substituting Ambrose at half time
of the match against the Hawks. Only a late
injury to Patty Ryder prevented the substitution
of Ambrose and given the fact Ambrose
often comes into games late because of his
exceptional fi tness, the move proved a good
one. Ambrose missed last weekend’s match
against the Blues to rest he battered body but
on his opening two games, you can bet he will
be back wearing the red sash sooner rather than
later. Ambrose is the latest in the line of players
to have debuted in AFL after playing regularly in
the VAFA and wearing the Big V for the VAFA in a
representative game
THE LAUNCH OF ORMOND TOGETHER
There were many lunches at clubs to launch the
season but with Ormond returning to Premier C
they had close to 100 members, supporters and
friends from both the senior and junior clubs
present there to welcome the Monders to the
2014 season. Ormond unveiled its new brand
ORMOND TOGETHER uniting players, volunteers
and supporters as the club re-establishes
itself in the VAFA’s Premier grades. The Hon
David Southwick MP reassured the club that
he would do everything in his power to make
sure earthworks associated with removal of the
North Rd level crossing commencing later this
year would not adversely impact on the club.
The club also unveiled a fantastic portrait of
Bob Skilton in the social room to mark his tenth
anniversary as the club’s No 1 ticket holder,
and the triple Brownlow medallist, who has
been making a slow but sure recovery from
complications with hip surgery in 2013, spoke
about the important recreational hub that
local football clubs provide for young men.
Skilton regaled the audience with some of his
trademark cheeky humour and recollections
from VFL days with South Melbourne as a player
and Melbourne as coach. Longstanding Ormond
player, committee member and supporter Greg
Fisher was also re-presented with his VAFA
Certifi cate of Merit in front of the Club at the
lunch. (Pictured: L-R David Southwick (State MP
for Caulfi eld, and Ormond sponsor) Bob Skilton

16 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
The excitement of promotion and relegation brings new teams to rattle the competition each season, and already the new boys are stamping their authority. Two of those clubs, Therry Penola and NOBS/St Pats started their campaign in Division 1 with healthy victories, placing them fi rst and second on the ladder respectively. Early wins of 83 and 56-points earn more than just the four-points, but the respect of the section. You are only as good as your last eff ort, but the rest of the section looks on to see if that form will hold.
Therry Penola’s goal of a hat-trick of promotions too the fi rst step as they pulverised Old Geelong by 83-points. With an eight goal fi rst term, Therry set the tone for a good afternoon, the match ended up a rout soon after. The OG’s managed to keep the margin under 30 at halftime, however they were just clinging on. Following the long break that clasp let go as the defi cit became 47 at the last change. Then the fl oodgates opened and the Bannister brothers, Corey and Jarrod had a fi eld day. Jarrod ended up with 6 goals, while Corey fi nished with double fi gures bagging 10. Last year we saw Old Geelong’s indiff erent form on various occasions, but nothing like this. Expect a diff erent OG’s to show up as they host NOBS/St Pats this week.
For NOBSPC’s home game at St. Patrick’s College in Ballarat, the old boys donned the schools jumper for the fi rst time in the VAFA, and fi tting it was against old rivals Prahran Assumption. The visitors made the most of the pristine conditions and the wind at their backs, taking a two goal lead into the second quarter. And that lead could’ve been extended further as Prahran Assumption were looking at a 30-point advantage late in the term, but NOBSPC rallied with four late goals to be only 7-points behind at halftime. The second half was all one way traffi c, in favour of the home team. They put last year’s Division 1 fi nalists to the sword as they kicked 11.12 to 2.3 for the half, running away to a 53-point victory. St Pat’s old boy, Christian Ryan starred on his old home ground kicking 5 goals, while big man Peter Shepherd was best on ground for his dominance in the ruck.
For a third year in a row Old Mentonians opened
the season against Williamstown CYMS, and again it went down to the wire. In a free-fl owing contest, the now established rivalry was back and forth throughout the fi rst half. The Panthers took the lead for the fi rst time in the second quarter, before the CY’s drove home three quick ones to be 10-points up at halftime. The third quarter was all Williamstown, as they kicked four goals and extended the margin to a game-high 32-points, the game seemingly sealed. However, Old Mentonians didn’t give in and they managed to pull back to within a kick midway through the term. OMFC had their chances to steal a late victory, having kept Williamstown goalless and controlling possession, but they couldn’t convert their opportunities scoring 4.7 for the term and consequentially lost by 4-points.
Yarra Valley was unable to replicate fellow Division 1 newbies’ form as the travelled to Ted Ajani Reserve to tackle Bulleen Templestowe. The Bullants kept the visitors goalless in the fi rst quarter and slotted 3 of their own to take a 19-point lead at the break with the second being much the same. In the third, Bulleen Templestowe’s advantage became 38 and the game was done and dusted from here. Yarra Valley won the fi nal quarter but never seriously proved menacing as the contest ended 87-60. The Bullants played a solid team eff ort with nine diff erent goal scorers while Rob Edsall got plenty of the pill in a best on performance.
Whitefriars started the long road to the post-season on a positive note, knocking off Melbourne High School Old Boys at home. The fi rst term was a stalemate as the sides battled to produce scoreboard pressure with only two goals kicked for the quarter. Whitefriars slowly started to get into the swing of things in the second kicking three goals to one but the game still lacked intensity. Not until the fi nal term did the game get interesting. Eleven of the nineteen goals were kicked in the last quarter as the rolling maul became goal for goal football. The Friars bagged six goals in the fourth to defeat MHSOB by 24-points. Whitefriars’ Jean Daou continued his form with four goals.

Please email your match reports, thoughts and feelings by Sunday afternoon to [email protected]
This week, Old Geelong host NOBS/St Pats and after last week they’ll need major improvement to get over the line. Expect a better performance from the OG’s but still see NOBSP coming out victorious. Whitefriars travel to Fearon Reserve to meet Williamstown CYMS, picking the CY’s in a close one. MHSOB face Therry Penola, and following their fi rst round win, have to back the Lions. Prahran Assumption tackles Bulleen Templestowe, the two played out tight contests last year and after being embarrassed in round 1, Prahran Assumption will get redemption with a victory. Finally, Yarra Valley plays Old Mentonians, OMFC were unlucky not to win last weekend so backing them to fi nish the round 1-1.

With round 1 now done and dusted, and four
of the fi ve games decided by 10 goals or more,
the Division 2 ladder makes for some interesting
reading. St Mary’s Salesian made an opening
round statement, with a commanding 107 point
win, while Old Eltham, Kew and St Johns round
out the top four. All would have had lofty goals
for the 2014 season, and it looks like, very little
may separate the sides as the year goes on. The
rebuilding Ivanhoe recorded a hard fought win
over the relegated Glen Eira, in a perfect debut
under new coach Paul Harris.
Lucky to not be relegated in 2013, Monash
Gryphons faced a formidable task of Old Eltham
away to kick off their 2014 season, and it proved
to be insurmountable. With 12 individual goal
kickers for the day and Ciavola booting 5, the
Turtles had control of this contest from start to
fi nish. They burst out of the blocks with a fi ve
goals to one opening term, as they kept the
Gryphons at arm’s length for the whole day
before blowing them away in the last. In what
turned out to be a tough pre-season for Monash
off the fi eld, may convert into a tough year on
the fi eld as well. The Gryphons will want to learn
from their performance, take stock and get their
season on track in a winnable game against Glen
Eira this week. Old Eltham are always dangerous
at home, but they need to be just as dangerous
away to take the next step in 2014.
In what was the performance of the round, St
Mary’s Salesian, under new coach Jess Sinclair,
sent a message to the other Div 2 sides, after
thumping Old Paradians by 107 points at Garvey
Oval. The game was scrappy early and St Mary’s
forward Ben Andrews opened proceedings
with his fi rst of four for the game. While fellow
forward Louis Holmes led and marked well, but
didn’t convert as he would have liked, kicking
1.4 for the quarter. The game tightened up in the
second as Parade worked their way back into the
contest but failed to capitalise forward of centre.
With new recruit Tim Dudgeon playing well on
debut and goals to Rogers, Holmes, Tanner and
Weetra, St Mary’s opened up a 37 point lead
heading into the main change. St Mary’s came
out after half-time, looking sharper and quicker
than the Raiders, conversion was again their
problem though with 5.5, while Parade put
through 3 straight after an improved eff ort. But
holding a 54 point lead at the start of the last, St
Mary’s produced their best football for the day,
they went for the jugular, and banged on 10.1 to
record a resounding 107 point win.
This season is somewhat of an unknown for both
Ivanhoe and Glen Eira, with both sides coming
off , by their own admissions, a disappointing
2013. Both wanting to start the year in a positive
way, the fi rst quarter was tight. With two goals
apiece at quarter time, Glen Eira would have
rouged missed opportunities with 2.8 for the
quarter. Ivanhoe got the game played back
on their terms in the seconds and turned a six
point defi cit into a 13 point lead, taking the
ascendency into halftime. Glen Eira came out
fi ring in the third, they closed the gap got their
nose in front, which set-up an intriguing last
quarter. It may have been unconvincing, but
Ivanhoe scrounged together 3.6 to 2.2 for the
quarter and recorded a dogged 11 point win and
started 2014 on the right note.
As is much the case in round 1 clashes, in the
fi rst quarter of St Johns v South Melbourne both
sides were rusty and the footy was hot early,
with the tackling and pressure around the ball
fi rst rate. The game opened up as the quarter
went on, with St Johns gaining the ascendency
in the midfi eld but failing with their delivery
inside forward 50. The JOCs rectifi ed this in
the second and their forwards capitalised to
open up a fi ve goal lead at halftime. With their
backline resolute, the pressure high through
the midfi eld, St Johns seemed to counter the
majority of Districts forays forward and took

some fi ght with a fi ve goal to six quarter and
would have wanted to save face in the last. A
ten goal defi cit proved too much for Anthony
Grace’s chargers to overcome with Kew running
out eventual 71 point winners and look set to go
up another gear in 2014. For Kew, youngsters:
Quinlivan, Margaritis, Leeuwen and Maibaum
were exceptional in the senior debuts while
Ryan Wyley was best afi eld with his run and carry
off half back.
Judging by last week’s form, four out of the fi ve
home sides should win this week, while I’ll give
Old Paradians a shot at redemption after their
dismal performance in round 1.

their opportunities when they presented. A
seven goal to three third quarter gave them a
match-winning 10 goal lead heading into the
last. In an even last quarter and the sting out of
the game, two late goals capped off a solid four
quarter performance for St Johns, and for South
Melbourne, it presented a lot to learn from.
In a rematch of the Division 3 Grand Final, Kew,
much like in the GF got off to a fl yer, kicking
six goals to none in the opening term. With
Elsternwick missing 10 players from their Grand
Final side and Kew boasting possibly the best
depth in Div 2, it was always going to be a tough
task for the Wicks. After quarter time, the game
was a lot tighter as the scoreboard suggested
and the Bears took a nine goal lead into the main
break. Andrew Brazzale picked up where he left
off in the Premiership win with a dominating
six goal haul. In the third, Elsternwick showed

20 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
Clean boots, clear lines and fresh ambitions, there is nothing quite like the aura surrounding the beginning of a new football season. The time of year when last year’s fairytale team and the perpetual cellar dweller come together on equal terms, but hope to send an entirely diff erent message out to the competition. Whether trying to prove they aren’t a pushover, one-hit wonder or the team that’s always almost good enough, all of the teams in VAFA’s Division 3 this year have their own unique journey ahead.
ROUND 1 REVIEW:
Aquinas’s new coach Russell Barnes was triumphant in his fi rst game at the club, defeating Emmaus St Leos by 10 points at Bennettswood Sports Ground. Sam Williams was dominant for the Bloods, piling on six goals in the win to continue his 2013 form in front of the sticks. The Animals gave Aquinas a scare in the fi nal term, piling on 8 goals to reduce the 33 point three quarter time margin, but it wasn’t enough as they conceded 5 of their own and fell narrowly short at their home ground.
UHS-VU were made to earn their victory over La Trobe University at Brens Oval, running away 20 point winners. Despite the fi nal margin, both sides registered the same number of shots at goal, as La Trobe were made to rue missed chances with UHS kicking a staggering 16 goals and 3 behinds. The Trobers got great output from captain-coach Brenton Hunt and Jack McMeel up forward who combined for nine goals, but were countered by the Zookeeper’s Rhys Kirk and Thomas Bay who combined for ten to keep the visitors at bay.
Last year’s Division 4 grand fi nalists Eley Park made light work of South Mornington at home, defeating the Tigers by a convincing 74 points. New ruck recruit Pat McMahon gave great supply to his midfi elders at the stoppages for the Sharks, while Noel Bahnsen took full advantage of their inside fi fty entries by kicking six goals. David Viola who kicked 45 goals for Eley Park last season, fl ourished in his new key defensive post.
In the closest game of the round in both Division 3 and every other section for that matter, Richmond Central overcame St Francis Xavier by two points at Kevin Bartlett Reserve. The X-Men led at every change by less than a goal in the nail-biter, but the Snakes came through when it counted stealing the win in the last term. Ben Spencer did all he could to spur his side to the win, kicking six goals in a losing side for the X-Men.
In contrast, the biggest blowout of the round was at VAFA Headquarters, Sportscover Arena, where Division 4 premiers the Northern Blues defeated Albert Park by 91 points. The Falcons toiled away early in the contest before the run and carry of the Blues put the scoreline beyond doubt in the latter stages. James King was a standout for Northern in the clash kicking eight goals. Former section best and fairest Stuart Maunder provided a shining light in a dim day for the Falcons, kicking three goals in his fi rst game back after a year on the sidelines. Blues sending an ominous message that last year’s premiership was no fl uke.
In the fi nal game of the round, Swinburne absorbed ferocious pressure from Power House to fi nish with a comfortable 58 point win at St James Park. The Razorbacks fought hard in the fi rst half before the game opened up, allowing them to kick nine second half goals. Tom Kennedy (5 goals) and Ben Higgins were both among Swinburne’s best players on the day.
ROUND 2 PREVIEW:
Aquinas v UHS-VU -The Bloods only faced the Zookeepers once last season, with Aquinas coming away with a 13 point win in a low scoring aff air. Aquinas should be able to keep their momentum going and make it two on the trot to start the year.
South Mornington v Albert Park - The Falcons will be looking to make amends after last weeks thumping at the hands of Northern Blues. South

21THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
Mornington will have a big job on their hands if
they want to change their fortunes and stop that
from happening.
La Trobe University v Richmond Central - Expect
the Trobers to take a few weeks to get settled in, as
youth and high player turnover cause headaches
in their early season results. The Snakes should be
able to capatalise on this break-in period and get a
win away from home.
Northern Blues v Eley Park -The biggest game of
the round comes in the form of last year’s Division
4 Grand Final rematch. The Blues will be unveiling
the fl ag in their fi rst home game for the season,
which should evoke emotion in both squads.
Result could go either way at the pint sized
Ruthven Reserve.
St Francis Xavier v Power House - The margin from last week’s loss to Swinburne doesn’t tell the full tale for Power House, who were competitive for most of the afternoon. Unfortunately, they may have to wait another week for their fi rst win though as they come up against the formidable X-Men.
Swinburne Uni v Emmaus St Leos - Swinburne look like they could be the big movers of 2014. If they can change their fortunes and win the close games they lost last season, expect them to charge into the fi nals with some confi dence.

22 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
The previews, speculation and Friday night’s out
on the town came to a timely close last weekend as
Division 4 of the VAFA got under way. All Division
4 teams were hungry for footy and keen to get
out on the park – some made bold statements,
some let their season opener slip, whilst others are
clearly still in a state of transition. The competition
favourites confi rmed that very tag, whilst the
competition newcomers performed an enthralling
litmus test. That left the rest of the competition to
either make the early running or consider round
one a week of discovery with their true character
to be revealed in the coming weeks
CANTERBURY (12.14-86) DEFEATED
WESTBOURNE GRAMMARIANS (9.18-72)
The battle of the two Division 4 newcomers
attracted the attention of the competition as other
clubs attempt to gauge the level of their fresh
adversaries. It was Canterbury, who celebrated
their fi rst win since 2012 in their fi rst outing since
transferring from the EFL with a victory over the
freshly minted Westbourne Grammarians. In what
proved to be a tight tussle throughout the match,
no more than three goals separated the sides at
each of the breaks until a rampant Canterbury
produced an almighty fi nal term. The EFL converts
overturned a 17 point defi cit at three quarter
time to win by 14 points. Westbourne will be
disappointed to have squandered a defendable
lead at the fi nal change and rue the consequences
of wayward kicking. Going forward, Division 4 will
be wary of a Canterbury side who proved they can
turn it on when required.
CHADSTONE (4.4-28) LOST TO WEST
BRUNSWICK (29.23-197)
A team in the midst of rebuilding played host to
one of the title contenders. Of recent seasons,
Chadstone have generally faced a challenging
prospect in the opening round, but the Magpies
re-enforced that when you are in re-build mode,
there is no easy path to the top. That said,
Chadstone showed fl ashes of brilliance as they
adapt to a new style of football under coach
Ken Schwab and adjust to playing with new
teammates. All considered, Chadstone showed
promise of competitively mixing it with other
Division 4 teams in 2014. A strong showing
from West Brunswick was punctuated with a
superb mid-air snap goal from custodian Richard
Benjamin from 30 metres. Whilst the scoring
was shared around, Benjamin kicked six for the
day and was well supported by Zac Tisdale who
bagged fi ve of his own. The Magpies will look to
build on last week’s result as they host Point Cook
on the club’s Friends and Family day today.
MANNINGHAM COBRAS (12.7-79)
DEFEATED NORTH BRUNSWICK (4.6-30)
Manningham got 2014 underway at home with a
convincing win over North Brunswick. The Cobras’
poor showing in 2013 was a distant memory as
they comfortably dealt with a team that featured in
last year’s fi nals series. Both teams played a similar
style of footy, but it was Manningham who looked
the better drilled of the two sides, creating more
scoring opportunities and fi nding themselves
better placed to execute than their opposition.
The green and gold will take some heart from the
fact that the distance on the scoreboard did not
refl ect the distance between the ability of the two
sides. Fitness was a perhaps telling factor in this
encounter as North Brunswick conscribed a few of
its reserves roster for the senior match. Both teams
face good tests this week as Manningham take on
Westbourne Grammarians and North Brunswick
tackle Chadstone at The Tip.

23THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
competition favourites, Hawthorn, came out with
a point to prove against Box Hill North. The day
started well with the reserves registering an 88
point win. The seniors set about emulating the
form of their understudies, but found themselves
caught in a contest at the main break with Box Hill
North holding leads at both quarter time and the
main interval. The Hawks came out of the sheds
with renewed vigour in the second half, booting six
unanswered goals in the third term and a further
seven in the fi nal stanza. The 2013 O.J. Meehan
Medallist, David Tremewen, spearheaded the
second half assault with seven goals for the game.
POINT COOK (14.16-100) DEFEATED
DRAGONS (9.11-65)
Point Cook never looked threatened by a Dragons
side who were only slightly off the pace in the
season opener. The Dogs led at every change
thanks to four goals from Matthew Herbertson
and a handy three goal contribution from Peter
Donoghue. Mohammad Babar did his best to
inspire his team with three goals for the match, but
his fellow Dragons were wayward in front of goal.
The statistic of thirty shots to twenty gives a fair
insight to the diff erence between two sides. Point
Cook would have been happy to win in a canter
but they dace a diff erent prospect next week. In
fact both teams face the form sides of Division 4
and will have to up their respective games if they
are to challenge the early ladder leaders.
Round 2 gets underway today with plenty of
teams keen to keep their momentum building
and others hungry to rectify the events of last
week.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012
VAFA ELASTOPLAST TRAINER OF THE WEEK
Dean doesn’t just overcome hurdles, he runs straight through
them. At the young age of 18, Dean continues to demonstrate to
his team mates the resilience and determination that he excels
with. Overcoming two knee reconstructions to cement his spot
back on the senior list. Dean managed only two games last year
due to injury, and has since endured a demanding pre-season,
hardly missing a session since November. Dean is renowned as a
diligent trainer at the club, leading by example week in, week out.
This prolifi c fortitude earned Dean a senior selection for round 1.
Upon selection, eager to rectify the talent that lays within, Dean
oozed class, booting four goals in AJAX’s comfortable victory
alongside a best on ground performance. Dean has excelled
through the AJAX Junior Football Club, playing over 60 games
including four representative matches with SMJFL in the AFL Vic
Metro Championships. Dean is now working in Security, and in his
off time between trainings, enjoys time with family and friends who
he shares a close bond with.
Caroline Hyman has served as an enthusiastic and reliable member
of the Swinburne Uni AFC committee for the last 4 seasons. Caz
received our “Best Club Person” award for the 2011 season and is
always diligent with whatever duties are asked of her. Finding
reliable trainers has been an issue for our club in the past, so as
she so often does, Caroline put her hand up. After being qualifi ed
only a month or so ago, Caz has shown initiative in ensuring that
out medical supplies and equipment are up to standard ensuring
player health and safety. On the weekend, Caz truly showed that
we had a genuine star on our hands in her fi rst game as trainer, not
only doing a tremendous job in looking after our club’s players, but
also helping out an undermanned opposition medical outfi t and
insuring proper treatment of a pretty seriously injured opposition
player. All at Swinburne congratulate Caroline on her nomination.
* 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 of senior football.

BEST: 5 YEARS AGO – 2009
Old Melburnians went to the top of the B Section ladder after disposing of Old Trinity by 17 points. In a stunning opening quarter, the OM’s slammed on 11.5 to 2.0 and Trinity never looked like getting back into the game. Although OM’s only kicked a further 5.4 for the match the fi nal score in their favour was 16.9 to 12.16. Best: Freezer, Seccull (5), J Beaumont, Davis, Harvey, Greene (OM) and Osborn, Pacconi, Ramsden, Gibson, Stockdale, Krakouer (OT).
The ‘For The Love Of The Game’ column detailed the awarding of Life Membership to a great VAFA personality, Peter Rhoden. At the time “Porky” was Old Xaverians longest serving coach and had been a Certifi cate of Merit winner in 2000. Peter also coached the Victorian Carnival team in 1964 and 1965 and was again State Coach in 72–74. Over a forty-fi ve year period, Peter had made an outstanding contribution to the VAFA on and off the fi eld.
10 YEARS AGO – 2004
Collegians remained undefeated in B Section after defeating Beaumaris 12.8 to 8.8 in an entertaining game. Collegians jumped out of the blocks with 7.3 to 1.0 and Beauy never got back into the match although they narrowed the gap signifi cantly. Best: Holst, Phillip, Hosking, Blumfi eld, Mooney, Unsworth (Coll) and Teasdale, Berry, Coote, Boon, Healy, Pitts (B).
Brett Dintinosante played his 150th game for Old Paradians having joined OP’s in 2001 beginning with the U19’s. Eddie Mitchell also recorded his 150th and the gutsy, running left footer had served St Leos Emmaus well over the journey.
20 YEARS AGO – 1994
Mazenod were trailing Old Trinity at half time in B Section but gave a polished display in the second half to run out winners 21.21 to 14.8. Best: Hunt, Buck (5), Green, Murray, McLean, Marshall (M) and Sutcliff e, Hudson, Rogers, Taylor, Norman, Edmunds (OT).
AJAX Utility player, Adam Michmacher, played his 100th game and Robbie Purcell played his 200th for St Bernards. Rob’s career included four premierships.
30 YEARS AGO – 1984
West Brunswick recorded their fi rst win with narrow win over Fawkner, 12.13 to 12.11 in C Section. Best: Buckley, Cecchi, Fyff e (WB) and Mitchell, Cropley, Hills (F). Michael Ritterman played his 200th game for AJAX and was one of the most highly decorated players in the VAFA. Among other achievements was the fact that Michael won the VAFA B&F in every section from E to B in a fi ve-year period.
40 YEARS AGO – 1974
In a great game between Monash Blues and Ivanhoe, it was the Blues who came out on top, 13.16 to 12.10 and consequently headed the B Section ladder with their two straight wins. Ivanhoe trailed all day but kept within striking distance. Best: Griffi ths (6), Sweetland, Ross, Halliday, Hargreaves, Booth (MB) and Hughes (8), Quinlivan, R Stewart, Ireland, Van, Rojo (I).
Ormond great, Bruce Bourne played his 150th in the distinctive brown and blue Ormond colours. No matter what position on the ground, ‘Bourney’ was an outstanding player. He was also honoured with the captaincy of the State team and was an All-Australian amateur.
50 YEARS AGO – 1964
In C Section Brunswick scored a convincing win against newly promoted Old Haileyburians by using their clever handball game to advantage, fi nal score 18.10 to 7.5 with ‘Bubbles’ Ball kicking 7 goals for Brunswick. Stokes and T Benns were other key players in the win. Cole, P McFarlane and Henderson were Haileybury’s best. It was a thriller between Glenhuntly and ANZ in D Section with Glenhuntly holding off a fast fi nishing ANZ, 9.17 to 9.14. Best: Williamson, Burman, Rees (Glenhuntly) and Bloom, Morrow, Mitchell (ANZ). AJAX belatedly entered a team into the Junior Section and evened up the section, which previously had a bye.

U19 Premier with John Donohoe @jdonohoe12
The under 19 season went off with a bang on Saturday with some mixed results and two of last years big teams going down by big margins. Wayward kicking cost St Bedes/Mentone
Tigers against Beaumaris. The Sharks showed the rest of the competition that they could be a force to be reckoned with in 2014. St Bernard’s took on an Old Melburnians side looking to make amends for a poor 2013 campaign. St Bernards trailed at the fi rst break but found their form in the second kicking 8.3 to 0.2 and controlled the match from there for a big win. James Riley and Edyn Sibbald
kicked 3 majors for the Snowdogs while Ryan Haward & Billy Alvin were OM’s best. Old Xaverians got their campaign started with a hard fought 10 point win over Old Scotch. Todd Vander Haar also showed a lot of class up forward in the win and despite a Cardinals comeback last year’s runners up held on. De La Salle took on SKOB at their home, Waverley Park, but it was the visitors who won decisively. Lewin (5) and Canterbury (4) were both instrumental for the hoops. With only 8 teams in the competition this season it could be a tight ladder throughout the year and we may even see one of the heavyweights anchored to the bottom at times.
U19 Section 2 Report @LewisEmmerson
Mazenod produced a 27-point win over newly promoted Whitefriars, who will be disappointed with a scoreless third quarter. Nicholas Peck proved a catalyst in the
Nodders victory while Whitefriars Jason Spencer fought hard. Old Trinity led at every change as they overcame University Blues by 4 goals. In a solid performance, Trinity’s Sam Joyce snagged 5 big ones. Daniel Batarilo kicked 2 goals for Uni Blues. A see-sawing contest saw Old Brighton sneak home by 3 points against Parkdale Vultures. Brighton’s Raury Bolger helped his side over the
line. Kurt Lopo was a shining light for the Vultures.
Fitzroy hosted Collegians, who fi nished 1st and 4th respectively last year. Fitzroy’s 2014 campaign started in the same vein as it ended with a comfortable 45-point win. Joseph Hill bagged 3 goals for the Roys while Michael Irvine led the resistance for Collegians.
Despite trailing at half time, University Blacks opened their year with a commanding 40-point victory over Caulfi eld Grammarians. Uni Blacks Harry King was best afi eld slotting 3 goals. Harry Witts was amongst Caulfi eld’s better players while kicking 2 goals of his own.
U19 Section 3 with Tom Connolly @tomconnolly15
With a lot of the teams
playing each other for the
first time, there was a lot of
uncertainty and doubt going
into these round one games.
Williamstown CYMS started off
the year with a bang with a convincing win over
last year’s pace setters the Northern Blues. The
Old Xaverians were also strong, producing a 10-
goal victory over St Mary’s Salesian. It was a hard
fought come back from Old Camberwell that got
them over the line in their match against Therry
Penola. The Wells kicked 10 goals in the second
half after just 2 in the first half against to win by
10 points. It was an amazing performance by
Xavier Burns from Marcellin who kicked seven of
his teams eight goals, alas it wasn’t enough to get
them over the line against Old Carey who won by
a convincing 37 points. Old Ivanhoe were just too
strong for the AJAX, winning comfortably by 34
points at home.
As the excitement of round 1 is now over, all of the
teams will be looking forward to getting on with
the year ahead and focusing on making finals. If
round 1 is anything to go by, then I cannot wait for
what is to come inthe rest of the year.
45THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
U19 North Anna O’Donnell @annaod_

48 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014
As Old Trinity take the
fi eld today in their fi rst
match of the year on the
delightful Daley Oval on
the Marles Playing Fields
of Trinity Grammar, there
will be something missing.
Andrew ‘Rambo’ Ramsden
will not be available for
selection for the fi rst time
since the AFL Grand Final
entertainment included
a bat mobile and Angry
Anderson. Debate still
rages whether Angry
Anderson or Meatloaf
are the most iconic
entertainment failures in
AFL Grand Final history
but that off the point.
Without doubt Rambo has
been one of the best and
most decorated Amateur
Footballers to have played
the game. It is not just the
longevity either.
Many amateur footballers
have played more matches and many have done
so in the top sections, but few have played at
such a high level and still been one of the key
players in determining the fortunes of their side.
From 1996-2007 Ramsden fi nished in the club’s
top two of their Best and Fairest count in every
single season (except for 1997 when he spent
a year at Essendon’s Reserves). In all he claimed
fi ve senior Best and Fairest Awards. Since moving
to a permanent forward he led the club’s goal
kicking from 2008-2013.
Ramsden confi rmed to the senior coach Adam
Andrews and the Old Trinity football department
he would not be suiting up for 23rd season in the
green and gold just a few weeks ago. Ramsden
has pulled on that jumper 348 times for the
club and is the games record holder. Only 15
of those games were in the reserves. Ramsden
is still struggling with the idea of his retirement
but said “I was starting to feel it a bit more, it
was getting harder and harder to come up each
week and with the club is back in Premier, that is
always where I wanted to fi nish up.”

Ramsden is a three-time premiership player at
the club, playing in the 1994, 1996 and 1999 Old
Trinity B Grade premierships. Of the many career
highlights he has had, Ramsden was able to
pinpoint them pretty easily.
“No doubt they have been the B Grade
Premierships, I managed to play in three of those.
Also representing the VAFA was an absolute
highlight. The chance to wear the Big V jumper
and play with the best players was something I
will cherish. I loved playing for the Big V”
His Big V Rep Coach and the man who made him
the senior VAFA captain from 2002-2005 Nick
Bourke said of Ramsden:
“I fi rst saw him play in a practice match against
Old Xaverians in 1995. He whacked a bloke and
got sent off . I knew straight away he was a bit
diff erent. But in no way did I think that nearly
20 years later he would still be running around
causing opposition so much angst.”
“He has been an ornament to the VAFA in
representative football, hardly ever turning a
bad game. His ability to avoid serious injury and
his underrated goal kicking accuracy have been
just two of his strengths, he is a great Amateur
man.”
Ramsden was also Vice Captain of the senior
representative side in 2000 and 2001. In total
Rambo played 13 times for the Big V from 1998-
2005 and was named in the AAFC (Australian
Amateur Football Council) Team Of The Year
from 2002-2004, in 2004 he was named All-
Australian Captain.
Old Trinity historian and ex club committeeman
Ian Jervis said Rambo was one of the few
automatics when Old Trinity selected their ‘50
year team’ of 1954-2003. “Given that Rambo was
such a good player for another decade after that,
he guaranteed to be fi rst name down in the next
50 year team” said Jervis.
Jervis has probably watched Ramsden in more
of his games than anyone else and when quizzed
on Rambo’s best showing in the green and gold,
he immediately referenced Old Trinity’s fi rst ever
fi nal in A Grade in 2004.
“It was the fi rst semi fi nal on a Sunday at Trevor
Barker Oval and the opponent was Marcellin,
a team we had had great diffi culty beating in
recent times. Being our fi rst ever A Grade fi nal
and the enormity of the occasion, Andrew’s
performance that day was sensational.”
(Ramsden kicked three goals and was named
best in the big upset win.)

However Jervis was quick
to point out another trait
of Ramsden that everyone
at Old Trinity would be all
too aware of.
“He is the only payer in my
lifetime that I have seen at
any level of football that in
the space of one minute,
could infuriate then
delight in equal measure.”
The umpires were fond
of Ramsden too. He is a
two-time section Best and
Fairest winner. Rambo
won the 2005 Woodrow
Medal in A Grade and
six years prior to that he
won the Moore Medal in
a premiership year in B
Grade.
Jervis again: “Probably
2005 was the better year
because it was in A Grade,
but he was extraordinary
in both years.”
Those individual honours were won when he
was predominantly a ruckman who sometimes
went forward but as the legs and body became
weary Rambo moved to become a permanent
forward who sometimes dabbled in the ruck.
“I played my best football as a ruckman and
when I was on the ball I really enjoyed going
forward to kick a goal. However, playing forward
was like a career change and it certainly allowed
me to keep playing. Some days you could have a
frustrating day forward but if I was playing in the
ruck, even if you were being beaten you never
felt like you had had such a bad day.”
Ramsden was made a Life Member of Old
Trinity in 2003 when he reached his 200 game
milestone for the club.
“He is wonderfully humble and very durable for a
bloke his size” said Jervis. “However he regualarly
played with injuries – his hand injury in particular
was quite brutal – but I doubt even people at old
Trinity would even have known about them,
probably because he never complained.”
51THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2014

Rambo said his toughest opponent was
another VAFA rucking legend, the Old Xaverians
champion Michael Blood. The best player Rambo
has played with at Old Trinity was their current
skipper and the reigning Moore Medallist,
Brendan Iezzi.
We will leave the fi nal word to the man himself.
“ I have loved every minute of playing in the VAFA and playing for Old Trinity, playing on Daley Oval certainly made it easier to keep playing year on year.”
On what the future holds Rambo is unsure.
“That’s a good question. I don’t have too many
plans for Saturday afternoons now. I will help out
with a bit of Ruck and goal kicking coaching at
training and I will make sure I get invited to as
many lunches as possible.
There is no doubt everyone at Old Trinity, the
opposition clubs Rambo battled against and the
VAFA selectors who picked in those 13 matches
for the Big sends their best wishes to you on a
great amateur career.

Round one. At no other time outside fi nals is the
classic umpires’ mantra “let ‘em play footy” as
pivotal. Regardless of the grade, players tend to
go in hard and tackle harder, desperate to start
the season on the right note.
During the week, our coaching sessions
emphasised the importance of holding the
whistle, protecting the ball player and keeping
our eyes on players after disposal. It’s a good
thing too, because it was a hot opening round
of competition.
The excitement among the umpiring group
was palpable, with attendance at training
noticeably larger than in recent weeks. For the
record, we shamelessly love the new paperwork
submission system.
I (Kit) was at E.E. Gunn Reserve for newly promoted
Ormond’s home opener against Marcellin in
Premier C. The Eagles got home comfortably, but
the footy was quick and hotly contested from start
to fi nish. When was the moment I knew footy was
well and truly back? It was two-and-a-half minutes
into the fi rst quarter, when I paid a free against a
ruckman who used a volleyball-style spike to slam
the ball deliberately out of bounds.
Footy’s back. Don’t you just love it?
OVER EXPOSURE
We welcomed co-scribe Kit Harvey to this page
last week and it was a great debut. He was asked
to provide a headshot for the top of the page,
so he provided us with a “glamour” shot you see
above. Little did we know that there would be
two other photos of Kit on that double page,
an action shot and as part of the representative
team. OK Kitster, you’ve make your mark. –
Macca.
“LET ‘EM PLAY FOOTY” MILESTONE
We mentioned last week that veteran goal
umpire Bob Seymour was notching up his 500th
VAFA game. Our error, and apologies to Bob
that it was actually game 550. He had a great
day with his crew out at Therry and would like
thank all involved especially Therry Penola and
Old Geelong and old goal-umpiring mate “Ball-
Tearer”.
ROAD TRIP
With the VAFA clubs being spread far and wide
across Melbourne most clubs have to endure
some pretty long road trips during the year. A
couple that spring to mind are PEGS heading
to Peninisula Old Boys and of course South
Mornington heading out to Latrobe University.
In a “one-off ” last weekend North Old Boys/
St. Pats hosted Prahran/Assumption at the
college in Ballarat. Of course we had to supply
umpires willing the make the trip. We thank fi eld
umpires Andrew Hartnett (from the foot of the
Dandenongs) and Owen Hinson (as a pilot he
travels further to work everyday) and of course
the goalies Ron Martyn and John Cahir. No truth
in the rumour that Ron and John stayed for a
weekend in Daylesford. But back to the footy,
a great day was had by all with the home side
being victors against their traditional country
rivals.
TIME FOR A BREAK
After a very long pre-season a string of practice
matches, and a frenzied start to the real stuff , we
need a rest. Enjoy the Easter break and we’ll see
you when we resume hostilities in a fortnight.

As the cobwebs were dusted off and the fi rst ball
was bounced for season 2014, it saw a variety
of all sorts. Only two of the three matches were
played with South Melbourne Districts having
to unfortunately forfeit against Mazenod.
They will have to await their opportunity
today to make their mark within this section.
It was a tight contest out in the west as Point
Cook and Williamstown did battle. The windy
Saltwater Reserve caused both teams to display
inaccurate kicking throughout the day, with
barely a third of shots at goal splitting the
middle. The CY’s were able to come away with
a four point win away from home. Jake Slee and
Andrew Robinson were the only multiple goal
kickers for both sides, with Oliver Becroft and
Blake Boyce judged best afi eld for both teams.
After a disappointing 2013, UHS – VU kicked off
their season successfully with a handy 17 point
win over St Bernards who just missed out on a
fi nals spot in 2013. The Uni Boys led all match,
with Nick Munari leading the way with three
majors for the victors. The Snowdogs struggled
to kick goals with inaccurate goal kicking (7.10)
and it cost them dearly. Josh Turville and Chris
Tormey played major roles for the Snowdogs
despite the defeat.
With round 1 completed, the focus is now on
round two which will no doubt bring another
variety of all sorts

Summer weather lingered to provide
excellent conditions for football. However
those players whose preseason eff orts were
lacking, tired and allowed their opponents to
contribute to the fi tter teams’ positive results.
The closest result was the three point win by
Kew, whereas there were several one sided
results, which hopefully will not prove the
norm over the remaining 14 rounds.
SECTION 1
Mt Lilydale continued their Club XVIII run of
success when they outplayed Masala, who despite
the eff orts of the consistent Ben Nugent, fi nished
43 points in arrears. Hawthorn celebrated their
promotion to Section 1 with a 132 point win over
Old Geelong on Como Park. The big ground held
no fears for Hawthorn for whom Ari Mitropoulos
kicked 10 goals. He was well supported by A.
Demetriou (Anthony not Andrew). Regular
fi nalists, Prahran/ Assumption gave a lack lustre
display against their nemesis Old Xaverians who
won the one sided match by 132 points. James
McDonnell, who kicked 8 goals was named as the
Crocodiles’ best. The Two Blues were well served
by their veterans; Luke Farrell and Craig Berger.
SECTION 2
Out east, Emmaus/ St Leo’s defeated the
promoted Eley Park by 61 points. After an even
fi rst quarter Emmaus /St Leo’s assumed control
of the contest in which Mark Petryk, with 5
goals continued his fi ne form. Richmond Central
recorded a comfortable four goal victory over
Williamstown CYMS. Peter Iser, who played well
for Richmond Central, has returned to playing
after a stint as the Club umpire. Therry Penola,
who led throughout the game, recorded a victory
over Bulleen Templestowe by 16 points.
SECTION 3
La Trobe University who have returned to the
competition, trounced last season’s fi nalist
University High School Old Boys by 139 points in
an impressive display of teamwork as instanced
by 14 players sharing 22 goals. The Dragons,
who led Kew by 22 points at half time, ran out
of fi tness in the second half when they had only
three scoring shots. Kew, on the other hand came
home strongly and wrested the lead for the fi rst
time late in the game. Their three point victory
was the closest result of the round. North Old
Boys/ St Patrick’s, celebrated their return to Club
XVIII with a 56 point win over the debutants,
Melbourne High School Old Boys. Interestingly
MHSOB’s playing side included several players
from Sweden. Best for the victors were: Jarrod
Poynter, Anthony Brennan and Todd Macleod (6
goals). For the “Unicorns”, Tom Fraczek and Albert
Kuang stood out.
PREVIEW OF ROUND 2SECTION 1
Old Geelong face the long trip east to meet Mt
Lilydale who possess a marked home ground
advantage. Based on Round 1 form, Mt Lilydale
should win well again. Prahran/ Assumption
face a daunting task to defeat Hawthorn whose
confi dence in their ability to cope in Section 1
is now sky high. I am in no doubt Hawthorn will
win this match. Newcomers, Masala will be able
to gauge the standard required for success when
they meet reigning premiers, Old Xaverians. For
the sake of the competition, I hope Masala can at
least curtail the Xaverian juggernaut.

SECTION 2
Therry Penola, who are always hard to beat on
the Fawkner Reserve, meet Emmaus/ St Leo’s
who possess a number of good players but who
have shown a lack of match fi tness. Talent may
well triumph but I am selecting Therry Penola to
win this game. Williamstown CYMS travel to meet
Eley Park Sharks. The “C.Y.s” may take time to settle
in the strange environment, but I select them to
fi nish ahead of the “Sharks”. Richmond Central
host Bulleen/ Templestowe in a game that should
tell us how much the “Bullants” have improved. I
select Richmond Central.

SECTION 3
All three games in this Section are scheduled for
the early morning. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s
travel to Dragons, whose match fi tness seemed
suspect on the small Victoria Park last Saturday.
Based on Round 1 performances, North Old Boy’s/
St Patrick’s should win this game convincingly.
For the fi rst time in decades, the once powerful
Melbourne High School and University High School
Old Boys meet at Forest Hill. In times past these
Clubs were regular opponents in Premier Division.
University High School disappointed last week but
the newcomers Melbourne High did not impress
either. At home, I favour Melbourne High to win.
Two round 1 winners Kew and La Trobe University
meet on Victoria Park Kew started slowly last week
while the Trobers won easily. The small ground will
suit Kew, but I believe that La Trobe can win.
