1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Contrasting conditions greeted the players on

the weekend. Saturday was cold and windy with

cross breezes at the north-south venues used in

the VAFA fi nals. But Sunday was a calm, sunny

afternoon allowing players to display their skills in

front of large crowds.

Congratulations to Uni Blacks, Parkdale Vultures,

Peninsula, Prahran Assumption, Ivanhoe and

Swinburne University who have gained promotion

to Premier, Premier B and C and Division 1, 2 and

3 respectively.

Peninsula entered the VAFA in 1980 in the old

F Grade and has generally oscillated between

Division 1 and 2. The win on Saturday got them

into Premier C for the fi rst time. They have played

in 6 grand fi nals and, whilst they have gained

promotion, have never raised the premiership

cup. Their match against NOB / St Pats promises

to be a close encounter after a slender two points

separated them in the second semi and each had

one win apiece in the home and away season.

Parkdale Vultures has shown a resurgence since

Sam Radford has taken over the reigns as coach.

Brilliant winners in Division 2 last year and

convincing winners of last Saturday’s second

semi, they have made the double jump and will

compete in Premier B for the fi rst time. Prahran

Assumption has similarly completed a double

promotion after being unbeaten last year. Two

successful amalgamations.

Premier Section welcomes back University Blacks

after a brief appearance in 2008. From all reports

they are much stronger than their previous

venture and will be looking to make a huge

impact next season. However we know the jump

to the highest section is the biggest hurdle and

in my opinion the standard and depth of clubs

in Premier will be at an all time high. Expect

continued improvement from Carey and St Bedes

Mentone Tigers, St Bernard’s and Uni Blues will not

be satisfi ed with their positions on the ladder from

this year.

On Saturday at Sportscover Arena Beaumaris and

St Kevin’s will compete for the right join the Blacks

in Premier Section. St Kevin’s haven’t won a fi nal

since 2004 and Beaumaris have never played in a

Premier B preliminary Final since they entered the

VAFA in 1995. If successful they will be the fi rst

stand alone district club to play in Premier since

Ormond were relegated in 1996.

Collegians proved they are the team to beat in

Premier with a come from behind victory against

Old Xaverians. After an initial burst of four goals

by Xavs, Collegians outplayed their opponents

to eventually run out 38 point victors. Eleven

goals to three after half time is evidence of their

superiority.

De La always held the upper hand against Old

Scotch and eventually ran out 20 point winners

to gain the right to play Old Xaverians in the

Preliminary Final. These two sides have played

some tense matches in front of huge crowds in

recent years. Whilst the form guide may read

better for De La, the side coming off the second

semi loss tends to have the better record. We will

wait and see on Sunday.

The two fi nal promotion matches are in Premier

C between Fitzroy and Mazenod and Division 3

between Yarra Valley and UHS-VU. Fitzroy made

remarkable progress about 5 years ago and if

successful will progress to Premier B for the fi rst

time. The loss to Ivanhoe was only Yarra Valley’s

second for the year and they will go in as strong

favourites to return to Division 2.

There are some clubs with real momentum and

others reaching their highest sections. Two sides

being promoted and relegated really allows

clubs who have this impetus to progress through

the sections quickly with their current crop of

players. However those players cannot shoulder

the responsibility forever and new players need to

be added to ensure a club survives in the upper

echelons of the VAFA.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY

Temptation to jump on board the team that

wins the cut throat semi fi nal and abandon the

vanquished from the second semi fi nal is strong

no matter what level of football you play. De

La Salle looked very good accounting for Old

Scotch and Old Xaverians didn’t look so good

as Collegians kicked away in the last quarter.

The problem is the statistics alone tell us that

we should never write off the second semi fi nal

loser and more so when that team wears red and

black. I copped a bit of criticism on twitter last

weekend when I tweeted that Old Xavs can’t kick

a score. The insinuation was that I had written

off Old Xavs this year. That was far from the truth,

what is the truth though it that Old Xaverians

have failed to kick more than 10 goals in their

past fi ve matches. The game against Caulfi eld

in the bog was never going to be a goal fest but

after kicking four goals in the opening quarter

last Saturday, Old Xavs kicked only fi ve more for

the game.

What an opening burst it was too. Old Xaverians

came out fi ring and piled on 4.4 to lead 28 to zero

inside 20 minutes of the fi rst quarter. Collegians

couldn’t get their hands on the ball and players

with normally sure hands were fumbling under

fi rst, the real pressure and then, the implied

pressure that Xavs had created.

John Shaw, Matt Ball, Ryan Colbert, and Michael

Darvell were winning the centre clearances,

and the pressure was applied by the Xaverians

forwards to lock the ball in and create scoring

chances. Unfortunately they only managed 4.4

in this period of dominance and everyone knew

Collegians were never going to go away.

At half time there margin had reduced had been

cut to 11 points and we were set for a frenetic

second half. This is when Collegians made their

move. Kicking six goals to three to assume a

seven point break with a quarter to play. Old

Xavs needed something, but nothing came. Nick

Sautner back from a broken leg was getting on

the end of everything, Nick Ries continued his

prolifi c season with another three goals and

double that in score involvements, and Shura

Taft converted twice more for Collegians to take

the margin to 38 points at the fi nal siren. Xavs

were held to just a behind in the fi nal term as

they were restricted greatly by the Lions running

backmen of Tardiff , Hylton and Kamenar.

De La Salle and Old Scotch looked like being a

classic, down to the wire encounter until De La

kicked clear in the fi nal quarter. The margin got

out to 38 points before three late goals to Old

Scotch brought it back to rest at 20 points as the

siren sounded on the Cardinals’ season. It was

what the least they deserved as Old Scotch were

more than a handful all afternoon but the small

break that De La Salle established in the second

quarter after Old Scotch missed chances in the

fi rst term was never really able to be bridged.

De La Salle believed they had their best side on

the park for almost a year. There were 10 changes

from the last time these sides met when Old

Scotch humbled the La Sallians at Camberwell a

few weeks back. Most of those changes were in

the better performers on the day as De La Salle’s

disposal wasn’t always perfect, but found targers

at critical times allowing them to fi rst alleviate

pressure then build an attack, with Brett Eddy,

Sam Pickett and Nic Roberts on the end of many

moves.

Old Scotch fought to be within 11 points at three

quarter time and the fi rst goal of the fi nal term

would be crucial. They got that goal through and

length of the fi eld transition with the ball ending

AND THEN THERE WERE

up in the arms of Hamish Dick who reduced the

margin to a goal. But that would be as close as

they got. The sides traded a goal each but the

margin was still eight points. A burst of points

was followed by a series of goals for De La Salle

as they piled on fi ve goals in a row to blow the

margin out to 38 points. Old Scotch kicked three

late goals to get it back to 19 points but time

was their enemy. The fi nal margin fi nished at

20 points and Old Scotch’s season ended with

plenty to look forward to next year.

Old Xaverians v De La Salle

There is something about a Preliminary Final that

conjures more in the imagination than a grand

fi nal. We see it in the lower sections of amateur

football for the reward is two-fold (promotion

and a Grand Final), but in Premier its all about

getting a crack at the top prize in the game.

Old Xaverians are on a three game losing streak

and you would be a brave person to tip them to

lose a fourth game in a row. De La Salle returned

their up and down season, to the heights of

a great team performance and win last week,

whether they can hold that performance another

week will be the question. Their formline is an

unpredictable WLWLWLW.

Three weeks ago they outplayed Old Xaverians

at the Dairy Bell with pace and panache kicking

goal after goal in the fi rst quarter. They will need

a performance like that again if they are to win

a ticket to the big dance next week. All week

people have been telling me not to write off Old

Xavs in September, of course there is a reluctance

to do so, but we need to assess the form of both

sides.

Statistics show us that the wounded second

semi fi nal loser is often able to get up for the

Preliminary Final. However the feeling amongst

onlookers is that this week is De La Salle’s to

lose, they have the cattle and the form to defeat

Old Xaverians and quite possibly to challenge

Collegians the following week too. However I

keep getting sucked back to the vortex of never

writing off Old Xaverians…. What to do? Back to

statistics is the only solution, for that reason Old

Xaverians will win on Sunday by 7 points in a low

scoring game.

Last weekend’s semi fi nals were about

as contrasting in nature as the weather.

Saturday’s ominous black clouds dumped a

brutal and systematic pounding over Box Hill

City Oval while the warm, still conditions on

Sunday at Trevor Barker Oval were close and

quite breathless really. The haters might bag

Melbourne’s unpredictable climate, but at this

magical time of year it heralds what we love the

most. Footy in Spring. Last month’s skinny trees

have thickened with blossom, there’s the buzz

of lawnmowers (pushed by blokes who missed

the fi nals), the trains are chockers with tribal

scarves and kids with showbag pride. Green

Moon’s running in the fourth at the Valley,

there’s a sizzle down at Bunnings and a line of

cars snaking into Sportscover Arena. It’s the

weekend, in September, in Melbourne. Where

would you rather be?

OLD MELBURNIANS bow out of the fi nals race

after Sunday’s fi ghting loss to Beaumaris.

Coach Nathan Brown would be gladdened by

their vastly improved output over the year with

players growing in strength and confi dence.

Healthy signs for season 2013.

SECOND SEMI

The Box Hill deck is considered one of the best

around town, but conditions were tough and

certainly foreboding for St Kevins. The game

went according to Uni Blacks’ script; their

bigger bodies and power through the rucks

and scrimmages forced the footy forward,

better equipped as they were for the blustery

wind and heavy bursts of rain. Willingham

in particular put the ball out into space and

followed through in a performance that would

have won him the G T Moore had he shown

up in round 18. Ahh, coulda-shoulda-woulda!

SKOB fought hard regardless but poor ball use

added undue pressure, giving their forwards

little hope. The backmen were their better

contributors, Keely a standout and Brick doing

a job on B&F winner Richardson. Sam Bishop

kicked their solitary goal in the second term but

they never looked like getting a run on. Batten

and Delahunty were impressive for Blacks,

along with waves of impetus provided by

Mahon, Weekley and Lahy. Foster (3) presented

well but I daresay there was some cue-in-

rackage; the eventual eleven-goal margin a

moot point with no need for either side to risk

injury when the result was beyond doubt.

FIRST SEMI

In the streaming sunshine and still conditions,

a number of crucial Shark inclusions ran out

onto TBO to take on Old Melburnians in a

thrilling game of end to end footy. Callan

Buckley probably shared best afi eld honours

with the evergreen Desi Haynes, while Rob

Cathcart’s grunt work and electric fi nal term

were pivotal. The fi rst half was tense and

pressure-packed; but once the jitters subsided

conditions were perfect for a fabulous display

of skill and strength. OMs nudged a slight fi rst

term advantage, breaking the arm wrestle in

the second with a goal to Marangon from a free

and 25m penalty. Paule intercepted a handball

and slotted another before the main break

and OMs looked solid going into the sheds

13 points up. Tom Hywood (3) was throwing

himself into every marking contest and Ted

Di Langton

de Fegely had a day out. But the lead was not

enough, the quieter Beauy forwards roared

out of the blocks with a pair of majors each to

Murton, Gower and McBain. Game on, but OMs

answered via Bennett (3) powering out of the

goal square like a locomotive. Two points split

them at the fi nal turn, the huge three-quarter

time huddles deafening as they urged their

lads on. Petering snapped the fi rst and Hywood

responded quickly. The willingness on fi eld was

palpable; Petering kicked another, then a snap

from Cathcart. Beck got one back but Cathcart

slotted his second to eff ectively seal the game,

Beauy into the preliminary fi nal with a 21-point

win on the day of the club’s 50th anniversary.

players that ‘take one for the team’ and to them

best you can. You may get another chance next

week.

Beaumaris would have to be the in-form

favourites for promotion and the right to

square off for the silverware, but St Kevins pose

an unknowable threat with high-calibre players

desperate to return. They are one-all this

season: SKOB in a one point thriller in round six,

the Sharks winning the return bout in round 12

by three goals. I’m tipping Beaumaris but closer

than most expect. Ignore the result at Box Hill,

it’ll be a diff erent St Kevins side this week. But

frankly, I’m going with the Sharks because I’ve

witnessed fi rst hand on a couple occasions:

they know how to win fi nals.

Rarely are the highs and lows of football more

evident than when September rolls around.

No matter how confi dent all four teams are of

raising the cup, one always has to go home after

the fi rst week. On the other hand, another team

gains promotion and a week off to recuperate

before the grand fi nal.

In a wet and blustery day on Saturday at Trevor

Barker Oval, it was the Roys who continued

their great form from the previous week, to

hold a nine-point advantage over the Vultures

at quarter time. But from there, it was all one-

way traffi c, with Parkdale kicking 8.5 to zip in

the second quarter, to turn a slight defi cit into

an almost unassailable lead in thirty minutes.

It’s that kind of precision that not only confi rms

why this team fi nished on top of the ladder

after the home and away rounds, but also

gives leaves their shell-shocked opposition

wondering what they can do to stop the

onslaught. It did slow down in the third

quarter, but the scoreboard was still ticking in

the wrong direction for those who were hoping

for a comeback, or even a tight contest. Lachlan

Oakley, in only his third game for the season,

reminded everyone why he is such a dangerous

player at this level. The Roys simply didn’t have

an answer for him, or Matt Boland, who both

kicked six goals. At the other end, the Fitzroy

forwards were starved for opportunities, going

goalless again in the third quarter.

The Parkdale machine continued unabated in

the fi nal stanza, the class of players like David

Robbins and Mark Kidner was evident, as they

continued to build on the lead .The Roys live to

fi ght another day and while the performance of

players like Josh Vansittart, James O’Reilly and

Rory Angiolella is hard to question, they’ve now

seen the level that they need to get to, fi rstly to

get another crack at Parkdale; and secondly, if

they want to win the fl ag.

The Roy Boys would have been very interested

observers in the proceedings at Box Hill.

Marcellin and Mazenods had diff erent journeys

to reach the fi rst semi fi nal; with the Nodders

making their fi rst appearance in the top four

on the eve of the fi nals, while the Eagles were

permanent residents after round 4. A diffi cult

game to pick a winner between two very

evenly-matched sides, something the fi nal

margin indicated.

Marcellin got off to the better start, earning a

seven point advantage by the quarter time

break. They were able to improve on this in the

second quarter, with Joel Crimmins, in season-

best form, leading the assault. He was joined

by the recently-crowned Zachariah Medallist,

Jarrod Carlson, who was in everything. At the

other end, Tim Bourbon was dominating for

Mazenod and Stuart Inglis’ best game of the

season was coming at the right time. Inaccuracy

cost the Nodders, with only one goal from

seven scoring shots in the second term to hand

the Eagles a 14-point lead at the main break.

With the match still very much in the balance,

Adrian Connolly urged his troops on and they

responded in the premiership quarter, winning

their share of the contests and, importantly,

converting their chances. The lead was theirs,

as they headed into the huddles with the

momentum on their side. The fi nal quarter

was a classic struggle, everything fi nals footy

represents. With Marcellin making a fi nal

charge, it was a desperate Nodders defence,

led by Byron Bonner, that managed to hold

tight and keep the score in their favour, when

the siren sounded, signalling the end of

Marcellin’s premiership dream. Jake Symes,

Matty Gasparini, Ash Viney and Peter Augustin

were their standouts, though the Eagles failed

to fi nd a multiple goalkicker on the day.

Last week’s results leave us with Fitzroy and

Mazenod fi ghting for survival, in what should

be another epic at Sandingham. They haven’t

met in over two months, with the Nodders

handing out a nine-goal belting on that

occasion, reversing the result from earlier in

the year. Recent form is all with Mazenod,

having knocked off two of the top three sides

in the past two weeks, while the Roys have the

advantage of having the extra day to prepare,

along with the experience they gained from

playing at Sandy last week. After a horror fi nal

three quarters last Saturday, it will be interesting

to see if the Roys’ forward line can get back on

track, or whether the Nodders will be able to

keep the clamps on. With my exposed form on

the tips suggesting that both teams would be

keen for me to pick the other, my apologies to

Fitzroy. I think they will bounce back with a win

and book their spot in Premier B for next year.

TG MUSASHI VAFA TV STRONGEST MAN ANNOUNCED

On Monday night three gentle giants of the

amateur game descended on Musashi’s state

of the art gym in Notting Hill to record the

fi nal of VAFA TV’s Strongest Man competition.

Will Oakley from Old Geelong was a late

call up after a promising lift earlier in the

season was restricted to 110kg due to the

lack of weights at Old Geelong’s Como Park.

Mitch Dupljanin from Eley Park Sharks was

the club house leader for a while with a

qualifying lift of 130kg and was fi red up for a

big performance after he had recovered from

injured ribs. Stefan Davis from Mazenod was

the last qualifi er and set a target of 150kg with

his powerful lift. Before the fi nal the players

were taken on a tour of the high performance

gym including a look at the Bod-Pod and the

High Altitude room. The fi nal was contested

in an athletics fi eld event format with each

competitor allowed three attempts to do

three reps of a weight they thought would

win it. Scissor paper rock decided the order of

the competition. To see the completion head

Peninsula Old Boys are be competing in the

Division 1 Grand Final this Sunday and will

be bidding to stop an unlucky run of six

Grand Final losses. Peninsula have lost all six

their VAFA Grand Finals appearances and this

presents a huge opportunity for he club to

celebrate their fi rst ever season in Premier C as

a reigning premiership side.

LUCKY NUMBER 7?

The great thing about the past two weeks are

the joy that many clubs get out of just making

a grand fi nal. For some clubs the promotion

they earn by making the Grand Final is

celebrated almost as much as premiership

success. Congratulations already to Peninsula,

Parkdale and South Mornington who have

earned promotion to the highest levels in their

history. This weekend represents opportunities

for Fitzroy and Beaumaris to make their own

history if they are good enough to win their

preliminary fi nals.

FIRST TIMERS

The VAFA is pleased to announce that KooGa

will supply all on-fi eld apparel for the next

three years. KooGa are an Australian company

and currently supply high quality performance

apparel to a host of international and national

teams, including the Australian Wallabies,

Richmond Tigers, and Melbourne Rebels. The

lengthy tender process began in June and

due diligence was undertaken to fi nd the

best team wear supplier for the VAFA. There

were many excellent proposals submitted for

consideration, however, KooGa ticked all the

boxes. We believe our clubs will benefi t in all

areas from this new arrangement, in terms of

garment quality, performance, durability, and

price. KooGa sets the benchmark in team wear

for systems, processes and customer service

and we look forward to working with the team

at KooGa and trust our clubs will too. Tyron

Brant, Managing Director of KooGa, stated ‘With

origins back to the 1890s, the VAFA was part of

the growth of Australian Rules football and it

is an honour to be the exclusive supplier to an

organisation with such a proud history. The

Big V jumper is icon in Australian sport and we

look forward to producing these for the VAFA

in the years to come.” VAFA CEO Michael Sholly

applauded the partnership saying “The VAFA

is the biggest football competition in the land

and we are delighted to have the international

brand KooGa partner our competition. As a

partner of the Australian Wallabies, Richmond

Tigers, Melbourne Storm, to name a few,

KooGa will not only bring superior quality

apparel to our players but valuable links to

external commercial opportunities.” Further

details about the partnership will be released

direct to clubs in the coming weeks.

In what seems like the blink of an eye, we have

arrived at the season’s denouement. Was it

really six months ago that the 10 Division 1 clubs

were winding up their pre-season programs,

full of hope for the year which lay ahead? The

season has whisked past us so quickly.

Preliminary Final review: Last week’s

penultimate game of the season turned into

a disappointingly one-sided aff air from the

outset. Peninsula’s defence was at its meanest,

denying Old Geelong’s powerful forward line

any latitude, whilst its midfi eld was on top of

the Hoops’ throughout the contest. Despite

triumphing in their two previous meetings,

it appeared as if the Oggers had played their

grand fi nal in the thrilling over-time win over

the Friars, and subsequently had nothing left in

the tank. In the blustery conditions at Central

Reserve, OGs just could not get into the game,

despite the tireless eff orts of midfi elder Mick

Rockefeller. Had the Pirates kicked straighter,

their win would have been much greater. Coach

Frank Dunnell and his charges would have been

left lamenting that Old Geelong had come so

far only to cop an 8-goal belting, but the OGs

have made giant strides this season, and will

now enter 2013 as one of the legitimate Div 1

fl ag contenders.

Today: And now here we are, with the two

stand-out teams of the season, both deservedly

promoted to Premier C, primed to do battle

in the decider which most of us have long

expected to take place. Both North Old Boys

– St Patrick’s and Peninsula Old Boys have an

excellent blend of experience and youth, and

boast depth right down to the 22nd player

on the interchange bench. This grand fi nal

promises to be a corker.

2012’s three previous meetings between

the competition’s titans provide interesting

reading. The results have produced results

which have fl uctuated wildly, and do not off er

any pointers to today’s contest:

Round 2: Peninsula 22.17.149 d NOB-SP

8.13.61. This was NOBs’ only loss for the season,

but what a loss it was! Pirates forwards Payze (6

goals), Coghlan (3), and Grigg (3) all managed

to get off the leash in this romp at Mt Eliza. Two

paltry fi rst-half goals ensured NOBs day was

done at half-time, whilst Peninsula stamped

themselves as the real deal. NOBSP coach Dick

Peoples quickly consigned this game to the

dustbin and moved on and his team have not

lost since.

Round 11: NOB-SP 9.11.65 d Peninsula 3.7.25.

NOBs gained revenge for their round 2 loss with

a convincing win at their boggy Gillon Oval

fortress. The Pirates were surprisingly impotent

in attack, managing only three majors for the

match. Again, the pattern of the game was set

in the fi rst half, with NOBs nullifying any Pirates

scoring opportunities.

Second semi: NOBSP 8.17.65 d Peninsula

8.15.63. NOBs earned the shorter route into the

fi nale with a tough come-from-behind victory

in which they booted the last three goals of a

tight contest. It was a typical fi nal: not a pretty

contest, but tough and uncompromising. Both

teams had heaps of opportunities to steal a

break, but neither could produce any effi ciency

in front of goal until NOBSP fi nally capitalised

on a few late chances.

Grand fi nal: Thus, the stage is now set for a

titanic clash at Trevor Barker Oval. And it could

well be across the NOBs half-forward line that

the match is won or lost. It will be vital for the

Pirates’ chances that their defenders keep NOBs

forwards Matt Firman, Todd Patterson, Scott

Sleep and Matt Keown (the comp best and

fairest) under control. Nothing separates the

ruck divisions, led by Peter Shepherd (NOBs)

and Brett Brisbane (Pen) respectively, although

the former was crucial in the latter stages of

the semi. Likewise, the midfi elds are evenly

matched, and both run deep. Stefan Barbour is

a gun, and looms as a real key for the Pirates if

he can cap off an outstanding season, whilst for

NOBs, sweeping defender Adam Oakley sets up

many forward thrusts with his pinpoint kicking.

Both teams are well-balanced, and are guided

by well-prepared coaching units.

Prediction: Amazingly, your scribe has

correctly predicted the result of the three

fi nals to date. This grand fi nal has warranted

much more deliberate contemplation than the

two previous weeks, and I admit to have been

swinging back and forth like a pendulum. But I

have settled on the refreshed North Old Boys

– St Patricks, just, in a clash which promis es

everything.

Separated by an entire division, the 2011

seasons of Bulleen Templestowe and Prahran

Assumption couldn’t have been further apart.

In Division 1, a 50-point thrashing from

Williamstown CYMS would draw a close to

Bulleen Templestowe’s worst season in the

club’s illustrious history. A solitary win against

Old Mentonians standing out among a sea of

100-point thrashings and scoreless quarters.

The very real prospect of Bulleen Templestowe

completing the maligned “Double Drop” in

2012 seemed all but inevitable.

Meanwhile, down in Division 3, a formidable

alliance formed in a dusty boardroom the

previous year had paid immediate dividends.

The amalgam of Prahran Football Club and

Assumption College completing a rare fl awless

season, capped off with the 2012 division 3

premiership fl ag.

In 2012, the clubs would meet in round 1, one

club mounting a realistic challenge to play

Division 1 football while the other on the brink

of absolute catastrophe.

Despite an entire division separating the two

the previous year, little hope was given to

the former Division 1 inhabitants, almost all

(this scribe included) predicting a Prahran-

Assumption Win.

What ensued was anything but predictable;

Bulleen Templestowe, seemingly in a

declaration of their disgust from the previous

season, annihilated the Two-Blues by 92 points,

putting the competition on notice in the

process.

While Prahran-Assumption would recuperate

from their round 1 and subsequent round

2 losses to (the now relegated) Emmaus St

Leo’s, their perceived pre-season hype and

dominance had been diluted, their early season

form a mere shadow of their 2011 brilliance.

In contrast to Prahran-Assumption’s brutal

Division 2 hazing, the Bullants had a fairytale

start, a loss to Old Paradians the only blemish in

the fi rst 9 rounds of the season. The perceived

inevitability of a “double drop” replaced with a

far more positive notion, colloquially known as

the “yo-yo” in VAFA circles. Bulleen Templestowe

seemed destined to rejoin their Division 1

counterparts after a brief hiatus.

And as it so often does, the season fl ashed

before our very eyes, Bulleen rounding out the

regular season in the same fashion it started,

a 91-point victory over La Trobe University, a

pleasant yet unexpected turnaround from just

a meagre 12 months ago.

A shock loss to South Melbourne, and a pair of

defeats at the hands of Old Paradians the only

blights on an otherwise extremely successful

season. Bulleen’s Semi Final against Eltham

would be a mere formality, on paper, on history

and on form, victory was assured for the men

in yellow and blue. A comfortable 59-point

victory the outcome.

On the other end of the spectrum, Prahran-

Assumption’s gruelling fi nals campaign has

been anything but a formality, forced to come

from behind in both matches to snatch victory

from the jaws of defeat. Unfamiliar to the

current playing group the two bouts will have

undoubtedly taken there toll, both mentally,

and physically.

Encumbered with success is expectation, an

assertion typifi ed with the VAFA’s relegation/

promotion system. This Saturday two teams

meet, one club entered the competition on

the back of its most successful year since

it’s inception in 1886 while the other joined

Division 2 after it’s worst.

Yet despite the two incredibly diff ering

previous seasons, both presumably with

contrasting expectations for season 2012,

Bulleen Templestowe and Prahran Assumption

have earned their spot in the last game of the

season and earned their spot in Division 1 in

2013.

Bulleen Templestowe VS Prahran

Assumption

The ledger stands at 2-0 in Bulleen’s favour, a

record that rightfully should tick over to 3-0 at

5:00 PM on Sunday.

While Prahran get a few ticks in their column,

namely Bulleen’s fragile defence and Adam

Sleight’s size 14 boots, they simply don’t have

the arsenal to account for Bulleen’s midfi eld

and forward line.

Prahran-Assumption have undisputedly the

second best midfi eld in the competition,

Musster and Parsons on their day, are

unstoppable. However unfortunately for the

Two-Blues, Bulleen-Templestowe have the best

midfi eld. Paul Florance has been in incredible

form over the past 6 weeks and has the ability

to turn a game in his favour unassisted. Stick

Cherbakof in there and it’s a David versus

Goliath battle.

Bulleen by 36 points.

It’s fair to say that the quote “fi nals footy brings

out the best in football teams” is an overstated

one. So I’ll change it up a bit. I can only liken the

brilliance that has been served up so far in the

Division three fi nals campaign to a delicious

lamb cutlet, served with a side of minted

potato salad and a glass of heavily malolactic

fermented red. Easily the best game was played

between Uni High and Aquinas. It came down to

the fi nal kick of the day. No matter the amount of

rubbish I write in my column this week, nothing

will come close to describing exactly what went

down.

Regrettably time has come to send Aquinas

on their way, while Yarra Valley would want

to be careful, a repeat of last seasons fi nals

performance may just tip a few over the edge.

I feel the Bushrangers can take solace in the

words (Aerial Pink) Rosenberg blurted, in his

1999 classic ‘Round and Round’ “I’m afraid, you’re

afraid. And we die and we live and we’re born

again, turn me inside out”. What can I say?

And so under bright-lit blue skies Uni High and

Aquinas competed in one of the better games of

the season. I’m sure no one would have predicted

the game to come down to the fi nal kick of the

day, but as so often happens in fi nals neither

team could land a fatal blow until the very end.

Aquinas’ John Jess lined up. The kick had a lot

riding on it. One team was to go through to a

preliminary fi nal and the other to ‘Mad Monday’.

This isn’t life and death, but sometimes, in games

like this it sure feels like it. Unfortunately for the

Bloods JJ hooked it to the left, leading to jubilant

scenes from the Uni team.

Ironically it had been a day that had started

so accurately for Aquinas. They fl ew out of the

blocks kicking eight goals straight in the fi rst

quarter, while Uni could only manage 4.4 from

their eight scoring shots. It was more of the same

in the second, Uni wasting opportunities, while

Aquinas kicked truly. The game was well into the

second half before Uni began to peg back the

substantial diff erence that the Bloods had put

between them and they managed to get within

a kick at the fi nal change.

The last quarter was a fi nals classic. Both sides

had a chance to sink the other, but couldn’t get

the job done. The lead changed several times

and when Jack Price kicked his third it looked

as though the Bloods would hang on. But a few

behinds from Uni pinned the lead back their

way. Thus, a fi nal kick was taken and the rest,

history.

I should’ve known by now that Uni High would

be on my list. The pundits had been spruiking

them for a while, “let me show you, how much I

care”, they said. I hope they’re not too off ended

by my Port Adelaide circa 2001 comments last

week.

In the other game Ivanhoe re-wrote the script

with an amazing fi nal quarter. Yarra Valley have

been the fl ag favourites from about round four,

but on Saturday, their seemingly untouchable

status took a hammering. It was pretty stock

standard Yarra Valley up to three quarter time.

They lead at the half by 23-points and held

Ivanhoe to a four goal to two third quarter

despite Ivanhoe kicking with a three to four goal

breeze.

The Bushies looked for all money to be sailing

to a grand fi nal and a promotion to Division 2.

But the Ivanhoe boys had other plans. Kicking

into that disadvantageous breeze in the last

the Hoers rallied, but with only ten minutes to

play they were still two goals down. Brandon

Flowers once sung, “when your chips are down,

when your highs are low, joy ride”. Whether the

Ivanhoe boys have heard that tune or not, joy

ride they did, they managed to use these words

to overcome the giant that is Yarra Valley. Two

quick goals saw Ivanhoe draw level and then

another saw them take the lead when the last

whistle blew. It really was amazing stuff .

With usual suspects Close, Harris and Harty

fi ring, Ivanhoe will be very hard to beat in two

weeks time.

This week: What can I say? I can’t see Yarra Valley

getting beaten, even though UHS-VU has been

so impressive through this fi nals series.

After eighteen home and away rounds, three

fi nals and a total of 93 matches, we have fi nally

reached the two hours that matter most. We

know what many of us thought all year South

Mornington and Swinburne Uni were by far the

best two sides in Division Four. Regardless of

what happens on Saturday, they will both be

promoted into Division 3 in 2013 come the fi nal

siren. These two sides have already battled on

three separate occasions in 2012 with the most

recent only being two weeks ago in the fi rst

semi fi nal where the Tigers got the job done

by only six points. For the majority of the year,

South Mornington has been the front runners.

Seemingly unbeatable after winning the fi rst

twelve games of the season. Yet after two

losses in the fi nal six games, the boys in yellow

and black from down the Peninsula looked a

little bit fragile. Whilst they have seemingly

reclaimed their ascendancy after their win in

the semi fi nal, the Tigers form is not quite as

devastating as it was earlier this season. 

As for their grand fi nal opponents Swinburne

University, the Razorbacks have appeared to

gather momentum as the season progressed.

Not simply by the number of victories they

accumulated but rather by the manner in

which they chalked up their wins in the second

half of the year. 

In Saturday’s preliminary fi nal, the students

ran over the top of Eley Park in the second

half to book their place in the grand fi nal. The

Razorbacks led by only two goals at half time

before kicking away in the premiership quarter.

Seven goals to just two behinds was enough

to do the damage. Another fi ve to one in the

fi nal stanza was simply the icing on the cake

as the Sharks simply had no more to give in a

disappointing display. 

The 86 point belting doesn’t do the Sharks

justice for the sort of season they have

had. In fact, they have transformed from

an inconsistent side capable of producing

moments of brilliance into a consistent four

quarter team that can match it with anyone.

Unfortunately it just wasn’t their day and I’m

sure they will return next season and be a

massive premiership contender.

South Mornington and Swinburne University

have met three times this season. In round nine,

the fi nal round of the home and away season

and in the fi rst semi fi nal. The Tigers hold the

edge over the Razorbacks with two victories

to one. In their fi rst meeting back in June, the

unbeaten Tigers knocked off the students in

a comfortable fashion by 44 points down at

Citation Oval.  It was a diff erent story in round

eighteen but only by the smallest of margins.

By the end of the home and away season, the

Tigers form had begun to waver and they were

caught out at St James Park. After leading by

as much as fi ve goals in the opening term, the

Tigers were left to lick their wounds on the way

back down the coast. 

In the semi fi nal, only a week after their fi nal

round showdown, South Mornington got the

better of their rivals in a tight tussle at Scammell

Reserve. Inaccurate goal kicking almost hurt

the yellow and black on that day but they were

good enough to get over the line by a kick to

advance straight to the grand fi nal and earn the

week off .

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012

Lachlan Ferguson (Collegians)

Nominated in Round 17, Lachlan had been

putting together a brilliant season to that point

and could have been nominated any number of

weeks prior.

In 2012 he played 14 games in 2012 and has

averaged more than a goal a game this year in

the top team in Premier section, being named in

the best players multiple times.

Lachlan is a product of Wesley College and was

a standout player in their 2010 APS premiership

side. Throughout 2010 he was given a number

of opportunities at Collegians when school

commitments allowed and played some very

good football in the senior side. In fact he was

very close to being selected in the 2010 A Grade

Grand Final side.

In 2011 he carried on his good work and despite

a hip problem became a very dangerous half

forward capable of winning a game off his own

boot. He played in the 2011 Premiership side and

was one of the best on ground with three great

goals.

A hip operation over summer saw a delayed start

to the season, but early form warranted Senior

Big V selection for the game against AFL NSW

where he won the coveted spirit of the Big V

award. He followed that up with selection in the

Vic Under 23 side and but for injury would have

been selected in the Vic Under 19 side.

He is on track to play an integral part in

Collegians 2012 defence of the Premier Section

Premiership.

* 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.

Brighton won 12.5 to 8.10 and would meet St Kevins

Mentiplay, J Salem, Ryan, Peel (4), Adamis (OB) and

Fox, Hardwick, Lourie, Bowen, Doxey (4), Heeley (OX).

The A Section preliminary fi nal looked headed for an

upset at half time as Old Scotch led Old Xaverians 8.6

to 4.7. The third quarter was all Old Xavs with 8.7 to

no score by Scotch. Despite having the advantage

of the wind in the fi nal term, Scotch could not

make up the 7 goal defi cit and with a 14.18 to 10.9

victory, Old Xaverians would have the opportunity in

a week’s time to become the only club in A Section

to win 7 out of a possible 8 premierships at the top

level. Best – Ockleshaw, Dillon, Brushfi eld, Landrigan,

Richardson (6), Orlando (OX) and Finocchiaro, Breisch,

Saunders, Crow Nettleton (3), Ross (OS). Peter James

and Mark Gibson were the central umpires.

It was a similar situation in B Section with an even

game in the fi rst half before Old Haileyburians turned

up the heat on North Old Boys to charge to a 15.18

to 6.16 victory in the preliminary fi nal. Best – Bourke,

Brooks, Jenke, S Lay, O’Farrell, Armstrong (OH) and

Collison, Hosking, Eastaugh, Sanders, Fitzclarence,

Faraci (NOBS).

Whitefriars Old Collegians won the C Section

premiership 20.14 to St Bedes Mentone Tigers 13.15

in a high standard contest. Best – Northey, R Pawlik

(3), A Pawlik, Pasqualotto, Power, Swain (Whitefriars)

and A Hayes (3), S Kidd, P Wintle, Beasley, M McCraw,

S Hecker (StB). Tim Sutcliff e and Wayne Hinton were

the central umpires.

Matthew Power was the Michael Ritterman Medalist

for his best on ground performance. Michael

Ritterman from the AJAX Amateur Football Club was

a champion player who won VAFA Best and Fairest

awards in B, C, D and E Sections as well as having

been a member of the Victorian Carnival team in 1976

and a dual premiership captain for his club.

20 YEARS AGO – 1992

De La Salle jumped St Bernards and were never

Page 47: Amateur Footballer Division Grand Finals 15/16th Sept

43THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

headed in an entertaining preliminary fi nal in A

Section. Pat O’Callaghan was the tall target for De

La and worried the Bernie’s defence to fi nish with 3

goals. Craig Wright was dashing as usual across half

back and although Andrew Ronchi battled hard, he

found it diffi cult to handle Wayne Carey’s expertise in

the ruck. Luke Gollant was strong for St Bernards but

the three quarter time advantage of fi ve and a half

goals would be diffi cult to overcome. And so it was

as De La ran out winners 13.11 to 11.8 and gained the

right to challenge Collegians the following week. Best

– Wright, Campbell, Fiume, Ronchi, Toohey, Hunter

(DLS) and Carey, Mallia, Walsh, L Gollant, Comito,

Overman (StB).

Old Trinity won their way into the B Section Grand

fi nal when they defeated Old Melburnians in a low

scoring aff air 5.10 to 3.12. Best – Hedley, Hopkins,

Beardsley, Alibon, Hudson, Dunn (OT) and Rose,

Nelson, O’Brien, Teal, Bryan, Webb (OM’s).

The talented Fawkner team easily won the C Section

Grand Final against Bulleen Templestowe, 16.17 to

6.5. Fawkner kicked 14.10 to 3.5 after quarter time.

Best – Lawson, Mitchell, Hoare, McMahon (3), Hall,

O’Leary (Fawkner) and Cumming, Harisiou, George,

Philpots, Driver, Tulloch (Bulleen Templestowe)

30 YEARS AGO – 1982

In A Section strong rivals North Old Boys and De La

Salle staged a typically tough yet fast and furious aff air

in the second semi fi nal. NOBS led by 4 points after an

exciting fi rst half but it was De La who fi nished the

stronger to win 15.13 to 10.17 at the fi nal siren. Best

– Maher (4), Williams (3), McDonnell, Bourke, Franetic,

Greene (DLS) and Welch, Griffi n, O’Rourke (3), Clark,

Conti, Ryan (NOBS).

The B Section second semi was a game of two

halves with Old Melburnians leading 10.4 to 8.7 at

half time and Ivanhoe taking out the second half

and more importantly the match 19.13 to 17.10.

Best – McDonald, Balcombe, Simondson, Field,

Hoare, Stewart (Ivanhoe) and Morphet, J Thompson,

Mitchell, Brown, Knight, Trumble (Old Melburnians).

40 YEARS AGO – 1972

Old Paradians defeated Caulfi eld Grammarians in

the A Section preliminary fi nal 13.27 to 10.14 and

Paradians inaccuracy in front of goal was highlighted

by their 5.11 in the fi nal term. Caulfi eld had actually

led at the fi rst three breaks due to Parade’s poor

‘sharpshooting’. Best – J Tudor, Carroll, Bahen, Duke,

Lyons, Tomkins (Paradians) and Williams, Lester (3), P

McLaughlin, G Tootell, Long, Fox (Caulfi eld).

The B Section preliminary was won by Ivanhoe at

the expense of University Blacks 18.10 to 11.22. Best

– Ireland, Hughes, Dickson, Rojo, Berry (3), Flanagan

(Ivanhoe) and Batten, MacCallum, A Costello, Hill,

Stewart (3), Spring (Blacks).

Reservoir Old Boys continued their rise up through

the ranks with a resounding victory in the C Section

Grand Final over Assumption Old Collegians 18.13 to

11.9. The 10 goal second quarter by Reservoir broke

the back of the Assumption defence. Best – Devlin

(6), Bates, R Shepherd, S Aston, J Paulka, Dowell

(ROB) and Lewis, Duro, Phillips, Kelly, Avery, Nugent

(Assumption).

Parkside won a thrilling D Section Grand fi nal over

Old Brighton 15.12 to 14.17 in a match with never

much more than a goal in it. Best – Ridd, Sammut (4),

Graham Dryden (3), P Harvey, Eames, Elliot (Parkside)

and Watkins, Mullett, Templeton, Agar (4), McBriar (4),

Kemp (Old Brighton).

50 YEARS AGO – 1962

Melbourne High School Old Boys won their way into

the A Section Grand fi nal with a convincing win over

Collegians in the A Section preliminary fi nal with a

strong fi nish 8.13 to 6.7, four of their goals coming

in the fi nal quarter. Best – Turnbull, Birch, Macdonald,

Pascoe, Nelson, Hance (MHSOB) and Rowe, R Daff ,

Evans, G Hibbins, Sanders, R Walduck (Collegians).

Kew won the C Section premiership with a score

of 6.19 to West Brunswick 8.3 in the Grand fi nal.

Best – Williams, Fletcher, Taylor, Blay, Haigh, Winton

(Kew) and Nash (5), D Strachan, Tuner, Park, Grinter,

Johnston (West Brunswick).

Fairfi eld won the D Section premiership 7.14 to Old

Carey 3.2. Best – O’Dwyer, Collier, Rodwell, Pearce

(3), Urobst, Hume (Fairfi eld) and Edwards, Dunshea,

Linthorne, Poole, Sedman, B Murray (Old Carey).

60 YEARS AGO - 1952

Uni Blues led all day to win the A Section preliminary

fi nal 16.9 to Commonwealth Bank 11.9 and would

meet Ormond the following week.

MHSOB defeated Ivanhoe in the B Section Grand fi nal

6.11 to 5.7 and had come from behind to win the

premiership.

Elsternwick defeated East Malvern in the C Section

preliminary fi nal 9.9 to 7.13 and Old Scotch defeated

Ormond in the Juniors Grand fi nal 13.9 to 12.6.

SEASON CLIMAX

Andrew Leonard

Premier

For the 4th year in a row, the Under 19 Premier

Grand Final will be contested between De La

Salle & Old Xaverians. The two powerhouses

of VAFA junior football have got a great history

against each other and this Saturday’s fi nal will

no doubt add another great chapter. Will Xavs

go back to back or will De La get revenge for

their loss in the 2011 Grand Final.

De La Salle won through the the Grand Final in

comprehensive fashion with an 87 point win

over St Bernards in last week’s Preliminary Final.

Hugh Nicholson was the star up forward with

nine goals with Dan Convery showing good

form around the ground. For St Bernards it is

the end of the line in 2012, but it has been a

very good season with the last weeks all about

honouring their lost mate Harry Overman.

Grand Final Preview – De La Salle v Old

Xaverians

The Xavs and De La have met three times this

season, each game being decided by fewer

the 3 goals with the Red & Black saluting each

time. In two of those games De La have been

in match winning positions, leading by 6 goal

margins but Xavs have clawed back into the

contest and managed to snatch victories, the

most recent of these of course in the 2nd Semi

Final two weeks ago.

The match will see two quality midfi elds to

lock horns, for the Xavs, Denton, Batten & Pat

Monti against Harry Haley, Gotch & Hamilton.

De La’s ruckmen, Paul Johnson will look to

give his midfi eld fi rst use of the ball and Xavs

will need to be at their best to counteract this.

Both forward lines are also in good form, with

Nicholson kicking nine and Howard bagging

four against St Bernards in the Prelim, then

there’s Charlie Haley winning the leading goal

kicker medal and being on of the premier

players in the competition. Robbie Ralph has

a had a great year and will be heavily watched

by the De La backmen and Nick Sharkey, who

kicked 6 for the Xavs in the round 18 clash will

need close attention too. It will be a cracking

game out at Central Reserve on Saturday

afternoon with the two powerhouse teams of

this competition fi ghting it out for the ultimate

prize. My tip is for De La to reverse the result of

two weeks ago and take the fl ag by 16 points.

UNDER 19 Premier

GRAND FINAL

De La Salle v Old Xaverians

Section 2

During the season the sides met three times

and the Skobbers won all three in tight fi nishes.

What a game - a very high standard in all areas

and played in great weather. Both sides had

opportunities to take control. Caulfi eld led by

eight points at quarter time, St Kevins by nine at

the main break and eight at three quarter time.

The last quarter was amazing - the Skobbers

kicked one goal then Caulfi eld came and came

and came again – kicking nine goals to the

Skobbers three, to run out 24 point winners. To

add insult to injury the Skobbers kicked 11.21

and had 32 scoring shots to 26. St Kevins had

every chance to put them away but just could

not nail them. The long quarters put pressure

Page 49: Amateur Footballer Division Grand Finals 15/16th Sept

45THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

on both sides but Caulfi eld deserved the win

and will take on Old Brighton in this week’s

Grand Final.

Grand Final Preview – Old Brighton v

Caulfi eld

By The Phantom: This clash is a bit like the

Geelong  v Fremantle clash - All the money

is on Old Brighton but Caulfi eld could get up

in a fairy tale fi nish from fourth spot. In every

game everyone has a chance, in this case Old

Brighton hold the cards but Caulfi eld are into

‘take a chance and see what rolls out.” Both

sides are loaded with talent but Caulfi eld are in

form with two great fi nal wins and will run the

game out. It’s important to be trained for the

moment and the Fields will certainly be primed

for the day! Josh McCahon has done a great job

and should be Section 2 coach of the year, for

getting to the grand fi nal from 4th spot! Old

Brighton have been the form side all year but

the punters love an under dog fi nish so I am

going for Caulfi eld.

Final with the two inform sides of the section.

Northern Blues will be wondering where it all

went wrong after a dominant season fell away

at the end.

Grand Final - Mazenod v Collegians

The Grand Final pits two sides against each

other that are very even, so much so that

scores were level at the fi nal siren in a night

match in round 9. After leading for most of the

game, Collegians gave up a lead but Mazenod

couldn’t get the points. In the second meeting

it was and 11 point victory for Mazenod as they

got over a Collegians side that was short on

their key movers that day. So where does that

leave us? Mazenod have had the easier ride

into the Grand Final but Collegians have been

coming for the past few weeks too. Considering

some of the talent on display this should be a

ripping game starting at 11.15am at Scammell

reserve on Sunday, and I lean to Collegians by

12 points.

Section 3

As expected in this column last week,

Collegians accounted for Northern Blues in the

Preliminary Final to set up a Grand Final clash

with Mazenod. Collegians trailed by 2 points

at the fi rst break but turned it on in the second

quarter to run out winners by 39 points. Nick

Blackney kicked three goals and Lindsay Apted

two with best afi eld honours to setup a Grand

North

It’s hard to believe that Ivanhoe have gone out

in straight sets but now that it is on paper it

must be true. Ivanhoe dropped three games for

the year then lost two in a row going down to

Old Geelong in the Preliminary Final by three

goals. The OG’s now have the right to secure

the club’s second premiership this season

when they take on Williamstown CYMS in the

De La Salle thrashed Peninsula in the

Preliminary Final to move into a Grand Final

match against Parkdale Vultures at Central

Reserve at 9.15 Saturday. De La led the Pirates

all day with Matt Hogan kicking four goals

and Jack Hanley three. The Grand Final will

be an interesting battle as Parkdale and De

La Salle have both handed out their fair share

of thrashings for their opponents this season.

Parkdale won the last battle between these

sides in the second semi a fortnight ago by 18

points. Given that most recent encounters are

strongest in the memory it’s hard to go past

the Vultures again.

We also acknowledge the U18 Grand Finalists

this year and say congratulations to Oakleigh

and Werribee. Both sides have had terrifi c

season whee they fi nished on equal points

only separated by percentage. Werribee

won their way through to the Grand Final

comfortably beating St Bernards by 47 points.

They take on Oakleigh at Central Reserve at

9.15am on Sunday for a chance to pinch a fl ag

The VAFA was engulfed by fi nals fever last

weekend and of course, us umpires were in the

thick of it. As the clubs strive for premierships

and promotion to a higher grade, the umpires

strive for that grand fi nal medallion. The aim is

usually to achieve something a little better and

more rewarding than the previous year.

There are always plenty who miss out because

quite simply there are not enough grand fi nals

to go around. But to those members who have

put the whistle or fl ags away for the summer we

thank you for your involvement this year. If you’ve

had disappointment, don’t spit the dummy.

NEARLY THERECome back, work hard, listen to your coaches and

see where it takes you. We hope to see you back

in 2013 striving to reach that ultimate goal.

As we mentioned last week, ensure you read

BENNY’S BULLETINS. Important information

will be there that shouldn’t be missed.
