1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

This will be our 111th season of VAFA football. Not

many sporting organisations can boast survival

over such a long period. More importantly, few

have prospered for as long and continued to

play a meaningful role in the lives of so many

people. We should all be very proud of this.

The VAFA continues to be an association admired

greatly by the wider football community.

What stands out is the quality and depth of

football talent, the size of our competition, the

diversity within our community, the standards

of behaviour right across the Board, the respect

both for and within our Association and above

all else our players “play for the love of the

game”.

I am really proud of our current Administration

and Board as well as previous Administrations

and Boards for their role in shaping our

Association into what it is today.

Similarly I am very proud of the role our clubs

have played. We continue to be aided by high

quality people who serve their clubs in an

honorary capacity and I take this opportunity

to again thank all of the volunteers who

generously give their time. If you get the

opportunity, please go out of your way to thank

the volunteers at your own club. It will make

their job just that bit easier knowing the time

they commit to their clubs and to the VAFA is

truly valued.

Much has happened since the end of the last

football season and one area I would like to

highlight is our representative football calendar.

In October of last year, we sent a senior VAFA

team overseas. I was really proud of the fact

that our twenty-one players represented fi fteen

diff erent clubs across fi ve sections. Additionally

an invitational U18 team played in New Zealand

in October and won both of its games against a

New Zealand U20 representative team.

Earlier this month we played two games

against the Eastern Football League: our C-D4

team went down by 17 points and our Senior

team came from behind to win in a hard

fought contest. All of the players representing

these teams are to be congratulated for their

commitment. Twenty-eight of our clubs had

players participate on this day and I thank all

of our clubs for continuing to support the Big

V program.

The Board has just completed a 3 year Strategic

plan for the VAFA. The broad strategic goals

associated with this plan include the following:

Competition Integrity - To vigorously uphold

the “Amateur” ethos and provide a safe and

respectful community environment.

Football Growth and Development - To

maximise participation and develop the

frameworks to ensure the highest possible

standard of football is attained.

Commercial - To develop the commercial and

administrative operation for the benefi t of the

competition.

Facilities - To ensure all grounds and amenities

reach the relevant approved AFL standard.

Our vision, mission and values remain

unchanged but there are many new initiatives

designed to assist us in meeting these strategic

goals. The plan will bring a sharper focus to the

activities of the Board and Administration and I

look forward to sharing with you the progress

made.

Good luck to all of our clubs. I wish all of you a

successful and rewarding season.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY

Collegians’ supremo Wayne Dyer hugged the LA Adamson Cup for the fi nal time at the Lions’ season launch last week before returning it to headquarters. Now the Purples begin the defense of their crown and are the favourites to be prowling around the dais again in fi ve months time. But they’ll have plenty of opposition.

However, I don’t see much room at the top to accommodate the aspirations of the improvers, with Colls, Xavs and Blues very diffi cult to shift from the four. The Brindisians appear vulnerable despite a massive home ground advantage. I fancy De La Salle to take their September spot. In fact, I am predicting (albeit, with no great confi dence) that De La will chalice and end the drought that began in 1992.

So let’s look at the ten contenders:

CAULFIELD GRAMMARIANS: (Last year, 1st in Premier B.) Despite tearing up Premier C and Premier B over three seasons, the Fieldsmen refuse to budge from their “wait and see: one week at a time” approach. To watch them in full fl ight is to get quite excited about their quality, but the Navy and Whites stay calm. Steven Lawrence has proven a fi ne mentor thus far and in their fi rst season since 1986 in this company, they will not look out of place. Some really good ones, among them Perkins, O’Sullivan, Garrubba and Scheetz, but can they threaten the big boys? Biggest acquisition: Declan Reilly (North Melbourne): Biggest loss: Nil. Breakout Year: James Shanahan. Finishing range: 5-10

COLLEGIANS: (1st) They will squeeze a few new ones into their lineup as they regenerate their list. Have an excellent farm system with Wesley College churning out good players. Boast perhaps the competition’s best player in Sautner, a raft of gifted midfi elders in Bull, Strachan, Ferguson, Ries, Zimbachs and recruit Cam Lee, plus a no-nonsense defence and some boom recruits. It’s a pretty nice time to be a Wesleyan. Biggest acquisition: Cam Lee. Biggest loss: Harry Croft (overseas). Breakout player: Courtney Hylton. Finishing range: 1-3

DE LA SALLE: (6th) Their 2011 campaign stalled when the injuries to star players piled high. The

upsides are that they blooded many more players than perhaps they would otherwise have done and that most of their injured players are back on the park, including Moloney, Eddy, Harrison and Moore. Biggest acquisition: Matthew Hine (Collingwood): Biggest loss: Sam Nethersole (overseas). Breakout year: Damien Hale. Finishing range: 1-5

OLD CAREY: (5th) An impressive fi rst year in the top tier, but taking the next step is going to be tougher. Woodville West Torrens premiership player James Rimington will be enormous for the Panthers. Big V skipper Cam Howat will also toss the coin for the his club and he has some class around him in Julian Rowe, Steve Freemantle and Al Parton. Biggest acquisition: Rimington: Biggest loss: Luke Crozier (VFL). Breakout year: Matt Parker. Finishing range: 3-6

OLD SCOTCH: (8th) The Cards have toned down the red in their uniform and have concentrated on building from within while re-establishing stronger links with the school. Veterans are fi t and fi ring and plenty of young talent including Sherwen, McKinley and Bowden. It could be an interesting year for the Caledonians under new coaches Dean Anderson and Stuey Powell. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen.

Biggest acquisition: A fi t Rob Ferraro and Mark Passador. Biggest loss: George Dick (injury) Breakout year: Nick Jamieson Finishing range: 6-10

OLD TRINITY: (7th) The chatter around town has the Greens included in almost every Demotion Double. There have been few headlines over the summer and second year coach Adam Andrews is seeking a greater consistency and perhaps fewer injuries as springboards to greater performance. As in other years, depth could be the issue. Iezzi, Humann, Walsh, Healy, Howell, Pohl and the evergreen Ramsden can play with the best of them, but the Greens need others to emerge if the oddsmen are to be proven wrong. Biggest acquisition: Mason Cole. Biggest loss: Jake Walsh (NFL punting). Breakout year: Christopher Riggs.

NO ROOM AT THE INN?

TODAY SELECTIONS IN BOLD

St Bedes / Ment Tigers v Old Carey Grammarians

Old Trinity v Old Xaverians

Caulfi eld Grammarians v St Bernards

University Blues v Collegians

De La Salle v Old Scotch


Finishing range: 7-10

OLD XAVERIANS: (Last year 4th) Xavs peaked in the

fi rst half of their fi rst semi-fi nal last year, playing

the scintillating football that had eluded them all

year. But their form vanished in an instant and they

were dumped in the Prelim fi nal. Have recruited

mainly from the list of Barkers Road alumni

while preparing some impressive grads of their

U19 premiership for senior football. As a group,

much fi tter than in 2011. Biggest acquisition: Ben

Kennedy (Box Hill). Biggest loss: Marcus Allan

(Overseas) Breakout year: John Shaw. Finishing

range: 1-5

ST BEDE’S/MENTONE TIGERS: (2nd) Stunned Xavs in

the prelim but most of the news since has been

about departures. Hellier, Garside and Holden

might be irregular with VFL duties taking priority

and many of the older brigade have departed.

New coach Mick Dwyer is a great developer of

younger players and it would surprise if a goodly

bunch of these don’t step up to help out the

Wintles. It could be a tough year, however and a

fi nals fi nish, though not beyond them, would be a

mild surprise. Biggest acquisition: Blake McGrath.

Biggest loss: Hiwad Shakaib (injury). Breakout

year: Patrick Kean. Finishing range: 4-9

ST BERNARD’S: (Last year, 2nd Premier B) The Snow

Dogs are back, and their return has been much

anticipated. They’ve had a massive load of new

players come in to bolster their list and have

lost but a few. Their depth will be excellent but

we are yet to learn about their quality. Biggest

acquisition: Liam Wilksinson: Biggest loss: Tate

Pearson Breakout year: Ryan Schroder Finishing

range: 6-10

UNIVERSITY BLUES: (Last year 4th) Blues have

installed Fergus Watts as coach and signed former

Sandy great Peter Summers and U23 All-Australian

Jonno Nash as well as a swag of players from their

traditional country zones. Should contend again,

though star veterans Andrew Lowcock and Matt

Torney have not enjoyed the best of pre-seasons.

Biggest acquisition: Summers: Biggest loss: John

Meagher (retired) Breakout year: Richie Langham

Finishing range: 1-5

I don’t see much room at the top to accommodate

the aspirational and the improvers, with Colls,

Xavs and Blues very diffi cult to shift from the four.

The Brindisians are vulnerable and I would fancy

De La Salle to take their September spot. In fact,

I am predicting (with no great confi dence, albeit) that De La will chalice.

THIS WEEK: Traditionally, Xavs have trouble at the Marles, but should be sharp enough to trip up the Ts. De La should have too much for Old Scotch, Old Carey will fi nd Brindisi Street a tough proposition, Caulfi eld to raise the fl ag but might lower their colours to the Snow Dogs, while Collegians traipse to Uni Blues to renew acquaintances with Fergus Watts in the match of the day.

B

Years of loyal service, camaraderie, personal

milestones and premiership glory may

entrench a man to his club, but it doesn’t

necessarily make him a leader. Or a strategic

mind. Or a stirring motivator. Buckley knows

it’s not all beer and skittles, Ratten may be

breathing a little easier but it hasn’t happened

overnight. Oh it’s a ruthless game, this playing

for your mates business. Chris Scott took his

pedigree elsewhere and struck immediate gold.

Premier B sees six new coaches this year and a

clear message from clubs: we want success,

we want promotion …and we want it now.

There is a common trend of replenishment

and revitalisation, plenty of youth, a steadying

core of experience and a sprinkling return of

the wise old stager. Here’s a snapshot of where

we fi nished last year together with off -season

movements.

Ajax – Premiers Prem C

Bernie Sheehy’s boys surprised with a

smashing grand fi nal victory, but a number

will be travelling this year; expect only guest

appearances from Routman, Steinberg and

others. Pinch-hitting ruckman Adam Spencer-

Laitt will be missed, but Jason Samuel and

Danny Freed are looking likely and Jason

Tendler arrives from Balwyn to stir up a bit of

Jacka chatter.

Werribee Districts – Runners Up Prem C

In a decade of Amateur footy the Tigers have

moved from D4 to Premier B with coach Kirk

Norton steering a swag of talented juniors

for the past six years. The loss of Zachariah

medallist Cam Lee (Collegians) and prolifi c

forward Nathan Black (EDFL) will be sorely felt,

but plenty of class returns in the guise of Josh

Bellegante and Alex Taylor.

Old Haileybury – 10th Premier

The Bloods’ forward line gets an injection from

Johnny Nicolopoulos (DLS) and Nick Gooda

(Mornington) while defender Corey Millard

returns from Collingwood’s VFL list. Following

the club’s misfi re in Premier, newly installed

coach (and past premiership captain) Darren

Seccull has adopted a youth focus, although

brother Mark may go again. Son Brede will

wear the guernsey (if and) when released from

the Pies.

Old Melburnians – 9th Premier

Former Demon Nathan Brown takes the

Redleg reins after a stint at Cheltenham, with

lots of exuberant Grammar youth replacing an

outgoing dozen of varying levels, including

rookie-listed Sam Dunell (St Kilda) and Tom

Campbell (Bulldogs). Brown has implemented

a hugely physical pre-season program to lift the

overall fi tness of the group.

Beaumaris – 8th

An undeniable off -season horribilis for coach

Mifsud will be a faint memory as he ponders

just WHO will fi ll the gaping defensive hole

left by retiring club favourite Mark ‘Dougie’

Ensor. On the upside, the Sharks welcome

back 2010 grand fi nal lynchpin Tommy Dean

from overseas and Wilba Murton looks set for

a stellar year.

Uni Blacks – 7th

The Students have a new Master in 2006 Moore

medallist and two-time winner of the Brendan

Keilar medal, Matt Kempton. Along with the

usual country imports watch for Cameron

Roberts from the Northern Territory Thunder.

Captain Mark Bolton has retired, as have John

Kosch and Anthony Evans ...big Batas to fi ll

indeed.

Di Langton

FAVOURITE SONS, OLD AND NEW


Old Ivanhoe v Beaumaris

Ajax v Old Brighton

Old Melburnians v Old Haileybury

Werribee Districts v St Kevins

Oakleigh v University Blacks


Old Ivanhoe – 6th

A Scribe’s dream; a club with endless alliteration

potential! Coach Hunter welcomes Hayden

Heta back to the Hoers and holds high hopes

for a heady start from Chris Harder across

half-back. The Big H will co-captain with

Jarrod Gieschen (limited this year due to

work commitments) and the 2007 Woodrow

medallist has already set a high benchmark

on the training track. A big loss is Simon

Fragiacomo who returns to the Razorbacks.

Oakleigh – 5th

Bucking the old-boy trend, career football

administrator Martin Stillman clutches the

Krusher clipboard after an assisting gig at

Canterbury. Three-time club B&F winner

and last year’s Moore Medallist Mick Harold

was primed for the Big V pre-season hitout

and while Tim Edwards & Dion Lucas have

departed, the Krushers welcome Kev Holden

to the fold. Gabby Irons looks set to continue

his excellent late 2011 form.

Old Brighton – 4th

The ‘Tonners have also gone for the favoured

son in the top job: Simon Williams played 221

games, won a B-Grade fl ag and holds the record

as the club’s longest-serving captain. James

North returns with dash from Port Melbourne

and Ben Austin will cause headaches for

opposition forwards. Last year’s club B&F

winner, Nick Marston heads overseas.

St Kevins – 3rd

The tri-colours will be pushing hard for

promotion; such is the expectation of a club run

as expertly as this one, but it’s gotta translate

on-fi eld. Dan Harford brings a dynamic combo

of caché and credibility, Captain Ben Dowd

is in scintillating pre-season form and John

Liston returns to the backline after a few years

overseas. Daniel Mahoney is tipped for big

things however spearhead Mick Giansiracusa

exits the lineup.

feelings are heartily encouraged. Please email

C

It’s always diffi cult to predict what is going to

happen in what is aff ectionately referred to as

‘Crunch’ Section. The stakes in Premier C will

be high, there will have been a few butterfl ies

ahead of this week’s games and we’re all no

doubt delighted that VAFA footy is fi nally (it’s

nearly May, for crying out loud) back in our

lives.

While promotion is undoubtedly a great

achievement for any football club, when the

seniors go eighteen and zip in the home

and away rounds and then miss out on the

silverware, it’s a disappointing conclusion

to the year, which should serve as a huge

motivation for the upcoming season. This is

what faces Banyule as they step up a level in

2012. Adam Barclay kicked eight in the recent

Premier C-Division 4 Big V match and looks

likely to be a constant thorn in opposition

defence’s sides. Consolidation should always be

the fi rst priority when making the step up and,

with that in mind, Banyule will be keen to get

some early wins on the board.

The optimism is high out at Brunswick Street,

which is not surprising when a former AFL

premiership player headlines a stellar list of

recruits. Luke Ablett will undoubtedly provide

the Roys with some additional class in the

midfi eld and it’s clear that Fitzroy will be a

strong contender at the business end.

The Rovers will be Premier C’s nomads for the

fi rst few weeks of 2012, as some upgrades are

fi nalised to Boss James. That won’t be the only

obstacle to contend with though, with some

noteworthy departures from last year’s team,

as they drop down from Premier B. Their new

skipper, Leigh Fletcher, will again provide

plenty of drive out of the middle.

It’s been a while since Marcellin has found itself

in C Section. The net has been cast far and wide,

as recruits from all points of the compass have

made their way down to Bulleen Road. Steve

McPherson will be expecting the Eagles to be

very competitive and with three of his players

earning a Big V guernsey in the preseason, the

talent is certainly there.

Ben Phibbs and Ryan Power arrive at the

Nodders from St Bede’s/Mentone amid plenty

of fanfare and they will be looking to make

a signifi cant mark on Premier C. Mazenod

generally seems to be thereabouts at this level

and they will be looking to make the most of

the Central Reserve fortress as they remain a

team to watch.

Luke Egan has joined Tim Powell’s coaching

staff at the Blues, and the Monash people are

very impressed with the football knowledge

he has brought to Frearson. There will be the

standard sizable list of comings and goings

associated with a university team, but the word

from the Ashes is that some of their young guns

from last year’s U19s, particularly Ben Cailes

and Martin Beecroft, will be causing opposition

sides some headaches this season.

The Rifl eman, Mark Williams, had a cup of coff ee

with the Wellers, before ultimately deciding

to head to the bush in 2012. Nevertheless,

last year’s fi nalists may only need internal

improvement from their returning players to

take the next step. Preseason form has been

solid and Killer has every reason to be confi dent

heading into round 1.

BIG YEAR AHEAD

Parkdale Vultures v Fitzroy FC

Marcellin v PEGS FC

Banyule v Monash Blues

Rupertswood v Hampton Rovers


The Vultures are back in Premier C, after

claiming the fl ag in Division 1. The whispers

around the league however, are that they are far

from satisfi ed with that win and are expecting

to hit the ground running at the higher level.

Zeke McCarthy was vice captain of the Big V

side and was joined in the team by Mitch Grant

and Paul Groves.

It has been an off season of change for the

artists formerly known as Old Essendon. In a

move that is sure to strengthen their bond with

the school, the club is now known as PEGS and

has made a switch to the traditional school

guernsey . Trent Cummings will be at the helm

again in 2012 and there is an air of anticipation

over at Wright Road that it could be a big year.

Rupo will be very hopeful that their steady

infl ux of recruits will be enough to off set the

loss of some prime movers. Still there usually

seems to be an abundance of talented under-

agers ready to step up and this should ensure

that the trip to Salesian will not be a happy

hunting ground for Rupo’s opponents.

So, on to the predictions. I think Old Camberwell

will get home (just) against Mazenod; the Roys

in to upset the Vultures’ fl ag unfurling; Marcellin

to knock of their old foes, PEGS; Banyule to

make a successful start back in Premier C; and

Rupo to outlast the Rovers.

DIVI

SION

The fi ne-tuning has all been completed. And

now the Division 1 train is about to leave the

station. Four new teams are on board (Ormond,

MHSOB, Glen Eira and St. John’s), but no-one

really knows where this journey will end. The

only certainty is that, as of this morning, all

ten teams were on an equal footing. However,

come 4:45pm this evening, fi ve of those

teams will have stolen a march on the others

and be one win closer to a fi nals berth. From

experience, practice-matches are never really a

hugely reliable form guide. Plenty of tinkering

takes place, not all players are available, and

it’s a last chance for coaches to check out new

players and try a few diff erent strategies.

I am excited about what this section promises,

as there appears to be plenty of teams “on

the up”. On that basis alone, I expect that

competition for the top four will be fi erce. Last

season’s beaten fi nallists North Old Boys-St.

Patrick’s (3rd in ’11) and Whitefriars (4th) will

both be eager to turn the pain of September

defeat into something more positive come the

pointy end of the year. Really, it is a no-brainer

that both NOBs and Friars, both with excellent

depth and returning coaches Richard Peoples

and Theo Vlahos at their respective helms,

will be at the forefront of teams vying for

promotion.

Williamstown CYMS (5th) last season missed

out on fi nals action by percentage only. Despite

the loss of a couple of key players, a focus on

fi tness during pre-season under new coach Ian

“Chops” Rickman should ensure that the CYs

are better placed to run games out. Pre-season

wins against Anglesea and Ormond mean that

expectations are high at the Fearon, as are those

of their fi erce rivals the Pirates. Peninsula (6th)

was surprisingly lack-lustre for long periods last

season, and this ultimately cost them a place in

the fi nals. A strong run home was not enough

to make up for ground lost early on, so I would

think that they will hit the ground running from

the get-go.

After starting 2011 like a house on fi re, Old

Geelong (7th) ran out of steam just as quickly

and had a most disappointing second half of the

season. With some solid practice-match form

under their belt under new coach Frank Dunell

(a familiar name in Ammo footy circles), look for

the Oggers to be much more competitive this

year. As the old tune goes, for Old Mentonians

(8th) the only way is up. The Panthers are looking

to “restore the roar” following a horror season

which was somewhat salvaged by a fi ghting

win in the fi nal home-and-away match of the

season. A talented young list could translate

into more wins than losses.

For me, the unknowns are the new teams.

Ormond won six matches in Premier C last

year, and had the sixth best percentage. Talk

about being stiff to be relegated! Rumour has

it there has been a clean-out at Gunn Reserve,

and depth may be tested. MHSOB will be

looking to bounce straight back to the more

familiar premier grades, but the Unicorns will

defi nitely not fi nd the going any easier this

season. However, from all reports pre-season

decider, and the subsequent loss of some key

players could see the Saints struggle early on.

The big question is how well the new recruits

will fi t into the team. St. John’s will be keen to

avoid the dreaded premiership hangover, and

will need to if they are to be competitive in this

higher grade.

A purely speculative top four at season’s end:

NOB-SP, Whitefriars, MHSOB, Peninsula. With

Ormond and Williamstown the other main

contenders.

But enough prognosticating…let’s get to this

season’s kick-off . Picking winners for today’s

matches, with no form guide other than the

intangibles of scratch matches, is fraught

with even more danger than usual. The

conservative, lazy, unimaginative tipster would

merely plump for the home teams and be done

with it. Some would say that describes me to

a tee! But sometimes I can surprise; here are

my winners for today: NOB-SP, Williamstown,

MHSOB, Peninsula, Ormond.

So hang on to your seat, this train is leaving the

station. 2012 promises to be an enjoyable, but

sometimes bumpy and unpredictable ride.

As Rex Hunt once voiced, a closed mouth catches

no foot but doesn’t pay the bills either. Or

something like that. So here are my predictions

for the season upcoming. And for those who may

disagree, don’t get mad, get even. As someone

else once said, the last shall be fi rst . . .

Bulleen Templestowe

After a lamentable 2011 in Division 1, the Bullants

will unquestionably be looking to improve on

their solitary win from the seasons past. Boasting

an impressive 100% winning record in this years

pre-season, including a resounding victory

against the highly touted Banyule Bears, all signs

are pointing to a far more enjoyable time at Ted

Ajani this season, fi nishing 7-9.

Old Paradians

Joining Bulleen in a step down in class this season,

Old Paradians, too, should fi nd the going a touch

easier in Division 2. While 2011 yielded marginally

better results than their demoted counterparts,

(4 wins) the demotion has left a sour taste in

the mouths of the Paradian faithful and will

undeniably be the catalyst behind their predicited

success in 2012. With coach David Boundy at the

helm and coupled with some extensive recruiting,

I’ve got Old Paradians fi nishing 1st 1-3 at seasons

end.

South Melbourne Districts

History tells us, when a club remains tight lipped

through summer, they usually have something

to hide. (Did someone say Fevola?) If the lack of

information coming from Lindsay Hassett this pre-

season is any indication of South Melbourne’s form

this year, the Swans will be looking to improve on

last year’s 6 wins. While the Fevola allegations are

unfounded, South Melbourne’s unrelenting spirit

is not, I have them fi nishing 5-7.

Eltham Old Collegians

Coming off a successful 2011 campaign and

boasting arguably one of the most signifi cant

home ground advantages in the VAFA. Simalarly

to South Melbourne, Eltham have kept their cards

close to their chest this season but providing

they kept Sabastian Ciavola in cotton wool

and adequately hydrated over the summer

months, there should be no reason to bein fi nals

contention. I’ll pencil them to fi nish in 4-6.

St Mary’s Salesian

The Saints administrators have had a busy

summer, recruiting from far and wide to bolster

their stocks coming off a less than satisfactory

season in 2011. After narrowly avoiding relegation

last season, SMS on the back of some decent pre-

season form are poised to catapult themselves

upwards. I’m predicting 7-9.

Therry Penola

Showing debatably the strongest pre-season

form, and a 2011 season that netted a preliminary

fi nal appearance, Therry have the goods to be the

side to beat in 2012. Add the arduous trip down

the Tullamarine for most sides; they shouldn’t lose

many games at home. While I’m pencilling them

in between 2 and 4 , and anything could happen

come fi nals time.

Monash Gryphons

After clawing their way to a Grand Final from 5th

position last year, Monash have the undeniable

spirit, culture and the tenacity to mix it with the

big boys. Time will tell if their “stocky” midfi eld

have the talent to mix it with the best of division

2, but with the likes of Munro, Wells, Baxter and

Cherien, I’m predicting they can, fi nishing 4-6 at

season’s end not out of the equation.

La Trobe University

After missing out on fi nals action by a mere

draw last season, the Students will be throwing

everything at Division 2 in 2012. Joining the fold of

Rich Hummerston

A DANGEROUS GAME

Old Paradians v St Mary’s Salesian

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - 316 Malvern Road, Prahran


clubs who have chosen to implement protection

to their pre-season recruits similar to the codes for

nuclear warheads, I’m a touch hesitant to make a

prediction. Nonetheless, I’ll go with 5-8

Emmaus St Leo’s

Unfortunately in all ladder predictions, there

must be the Cellar Dwellers of the season. While

I enjoy giving out the term as much receiving as a

Tetanus shot, my eyes are on Emmaus St Leo’s. My

prediction is not a statement about their list but

rather the competition they will be pitted against.

Prahran-Assumption

Rounding out the Division 2 competition, it’s

Prahran-Assumption, the undisputed champions

of Division 3 in 2011. Boasting a playing list

probably more suited to Premier, I see it inevitable

that the 4-Blues join Old Paradians at the top

of the table this year. The twin towers in Peter

Cristoforo and Adam Sleight to kick 150 goals

between them.

Looking towards opening weekend, I’m going

with Monash over the Swans, Old Paradians to

touch up St Mary’s, while Therry will send Emmaus

St Leo back down the Tullamarine without any

points. Eltham will take the chocolates over the

Students away and Prahran to account for the

Bullants easily.

To assist me in making my outlandish statements

more accurate, I would be more than happy to

receive any match reports, milestones and praise

Cass McCombs sang “Love thine enemy, but

hate their lack of sincerity”. I can almost assure

you that no coach will be using this quote as

a way to ‘rev’ their team up this weekend. That

being said, I feel it wise to have a little bit of love

for thine enemy come round one.

Aquinas v St Francis Xavier

Aquinas Coach John Le Grand was so obviously

annoyed with his teams performance last

year, that he put them through a vigorous

pre-season that included a Tactical Advantage

Bootcamp. Rumour has it he deliberately

scheduled it on the hottest day in February.

I expect Aquinas to be a threat this year with

Captain Nick Morrison-Story leading the way.

2011 was an extraordinary year for the X-Men,

who fi nally won their fi rst senior premiership.

They should be strong again with not much

movement in their camp. However the step

up could prove diffi cult and I imagine it will be

today. Bloods too strong.

Elsternwick v Richmond Central

Elsternwick were a bit out of tune last year,

just missing the fi nals. I’m tipping this year

will be diff erent. Declan Healy has had a hand

in recruiting a number of Irish lads to help on

and off the fi eld. The nice people at The Wick

Hotel and Bistro have informed me they are

struggling to cope with the unprecedented

spike in Guinness consumption. To add to this

follically challenged young gun William ‘Skull’

Christian is looking to have a break-out year.

Richmond Central had an impressive 2011 and

whilst there have been seven retirements in all,

including former skipper Sean ‘Irish’ O’Connor,

their defeat in the Division 4 grand fi nal will

no doubt whet the appetite for some similar

action in Division 3. New recruits Shane Lowry

(Golden Square) and Nino Bucci (Mt. Pleasant)

will try their best to fi ll the void. I’m backing

Elsternwick to come away with the suburban

beverages today.

Ivanhoe v Albert Park

Albert Park has made the fi nals three years

running now and will be a major challenger

come September. The Falcons will be looking

for a big win as to enjoy their season launch.

I hear DJ David Guetta will be special guest at

the lavish event.

Ivanhoe is another interesting prospect this

year, with a couple of solid wins in the lead up to

round one it will be ready to rumble. Although

I can’t see Leigh Cole’s men making the fi nals

this year, they will defi nitely be around the

mark. Albert Park to win this battle of the birds.

Hawthorn v UHS-VU

New coach Rick Barkla is injecting plenty of

enthusiasm down at Rathmines Reserve. New

recruit Scott Timmins will add to the sensational

depth the Hawks possess. For some, picking the

Hawks B&F winner this far out would be near

impossible. However, not so for Luke ‘Buckles’

Barkla who admits it will be “probably me”.

David “Fatty” Wallace steps up as senior Coach

for UHS-VU this year, and the fat man will have

his hands full. There were pleasing signs over

the pre-season with plenty numbers attending

all sessions. Nick Deveroux and Lachlan Habel

Nick Wynne

Hawthorn AFC v UHS-VU

are expected to build on solid seasons last year

and will need to if UHS-VU is to be competitive

again this year. Hawks to swoop.

Power House v Yarra Valley

Power House will be trying hard to stamp their

authority onto Division 3 after a middle of

the range 2011. I am excited to see how they

progress this year. However I am predicting that

they may be the victim of four very strong sides

being introduced into the Division and falter.

Here’s hoping that new coaches Tony Miller and

Jeff Scotland can prove me wrong.

You could forgive Yarra Valley for taking it easy

over the pre-season after a solid year, but it

was not the case, in fact quite the opposite.

Ironically the Bushrangers lived up to their

name when Coach Drew took them on a 50km

sprint/hike through ‘Kelly Country’. Ross Little

impressed on the hike and will be looking to

bring that form into round one. Yarra Valley to

win, photo for second possibly Power House.

Kew v Old Westbourne

Kew will be hoping to make it a grizzly opening

for the relegated Old Westbourne. With Ian

Aitken at the helm looking to keep the “Kew

fl ame burning” there are high expectations for

the Bears. Six fi gure men Aaron Carmen and VC

Michael Cochrane will be pivotal if the Bears are

to snaffl e a fi nals birth.

Old Westbourne had a horror season last year,

but with Coach Roger Hand at the controls they

seem a much improved and more confi dent

collective. There are a number of impressive

kids that have stepped up over the pre-season

including Harley Tunnecliff e and Tim Davidson

that look to be bringing back the wonder years.

Kew to open their account at home.

Well, here we are again. The dawn of a new

football season is upon us and it looks like

Division Four might once again bring plenty of

excitement this winter. With the nature of this

competition seeing the two top teams from

last year stepping up the Ammo’s ladder into

Division 3 and two teams falling down, there’s

sure to be a hotly contested battle at the top.

The two teams coming down, West Brunswick

and Mt Lilydale will be tough to beat as they

fi ght to get back into the higher grade, whilst

Swinburne Uni and the Eley Park Sharks will be

looking to build on their impressive form last

year and try to win the ultimate prize. Let’s take

a closer look at the teams.

BOX HILL NORTH: (Last year – 9th) Despite only

winning fi ve games in

2011 the Demons showed plenty of promise

throughout games, however their inconsistency

ultimately lead to them fi nishing the season in

second last place. With a new jumper being

launched in the off -season and some new

recruits heading to Elgar Park, 2012 could

provide Box Hill North with a more competitive

output this season. Finishing range: 6 – 9

CHADSTONE: (Last year – Wooden Spoon)

Winless in season 2011 means one thing for

the Synners this year – they can only go up. At

least that will be the plan. The coaching staff at

Chadstone put a line through

2011 as soon as it ended and have put the work

in on the track over the summer to ensure that

this season is a lot more prosperous. Finishing

range: 8 – 10

MT LILYDALE OC: (Last year – Wooden Spoon,

Division Three) The Rams have spent the hot

months working hard on rectifying the faults

that lead to the poor season in 2011. Only fi ve

wins in the home and away season resulted

in them taking home the wooden spoon and

joining Division Four. Mt Lilydale Old Collegians

will be moving heaven and earth to force their

way out of the VAFA’s cellar dweller. Finishing

range: 1 – 4

NORTH BRUNSWICK: (Last year – 8th) Things

are changing down at Allard Park or ‘The Tip’

as it is more fondly referred to. A new jumper

and new logo have brought with them high

expectations for 2012. One thing is for sure;

winning only six out of eighteen games again

won’t be acceptable. The off season has seen

several new signings joining the Bulls and with

arch rivals, West Brunswick, being relegated

to Division Four the emphasis has been lifted.

Finishing Range: 3 – 6

POINT COOK: (Last year – 7th) The word from

Dunnings Rd is that actions will speak louder

than words this season. Another mid-range

fi nish will not be the answer this year as the

Bulldogs are fi rmly aiming for a fi nals berth

come the business end of the season. The team

from the far west will be hoping to improve

their ability to use their home ground to their

advantage and make it as hostile as possible for

visiting away teams making the large trip down

the highway. Finishing range: 6 – 9

SOUTH MORNINGTON: (Last year – 5th) After

just missing out on the fi nals last season, the

Tigers will be gunning for a spot in the top

four. The Peninsula side have acquired several

Josh Gabelich

handy recruits over the off season and could be

one of the big improvers in season 2012 if they

can improve their troublesome goal kicking

effi ciency. Finishing Range: 3 – 5

WEST BRUNSWICK: (Last year – 11th, Division 3)

The magpies have come down from the higher

grade and will be desperate to return to form

this season after last year’s disastrous output.

Their demotion sets up a tantalising derby

against local rivals North Brunswick. Anything

less than promotion back into Division 3 will

be a failure for the black and white in 2012.

Finishing range: 1 – 3

ELEY PARK: (Last year – 4th) One of the more

exciting sides running around in this division,

the Sharks will be aiming to build on their

impressive 2011 campaign. The Box Hill based

team narrowly missed out on the double

chance last year on percentage. Another fi nals

appearance must be the goal for the Sharks in

2012. Finishing range: 2 – 5

SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY: (Last year – 3rd) After

fi nishing second at the end of the home and

away season in 2011 the Razorbacks couldn’t

continue their form into September and bowed

out of the fi nals in straight sets. A summer

spent dwelling over the missed opportunity

should see the Hawthorn side frothing at the

opportunity to make amends for last years melt

down. Finishing range: 1 – 4

MANNINGHAM COBRAS: (Last year – 6th)

The Cobra’s inconsistency in 2011 hurt them

deeply and would surely have been a strong

focus over the summer. A string of new names

joining the Cobra’s have many predicting an

improved season is imminent. Form away from

Bulleen was a worry last season, so hopefully

Manningham can lift their game in this

important area. Finishing range: 6 - 9

BIG

V

The Big V triumphed over the Eastern Football League by 12 points in a tough contest at Bayswater on 1 April, reinforcing the reputation of the VAFA as the most successful representative outfi t in our great game.

After struggling to kick straight early and then losing momentum, the Ammo team appeared likely to fi nish second, but with great determination and resilience, the visitors thundered home to a memorable victory.

Coach Simon Lethlean, a former Big V captain who had worn the famous jumper in many important victories, praised the eff orts, character and resilience of his team.

Julian Rowe was named best afi eld, while his Old Carey teammates Cam Howat, Lachy McQueen-Miscamble and newcomer James Rimington showed plenty of class too. NOBSPC newcomer Matt Firman also showed polish.

In the fi nal term, needing big eff orts from the forward line, Andrew Merrington and Matt Handley re-asserted their infl uence, while Nick Sautner broke Eastern hearts with two precision kicks as the clock went into time-on.

Ben Dowd and Tommy Simpson fl ew the fl ag early, getting plenty of service from John Shaw, but the

EFL kicked the fi rst goal of the game. And while

the Easterners displayed confi dence and moved

the ball with aplomb and hurried help back to

combat the VAFA’s aerial threat, they never broke

the backs of the Big V team.

Mistakes wee made by the visitors, gifting a couple

of easy goals, but the spirit never waned. Jack

Bull, playing his fi rst senior game in the jumper

and the seasoned Ryan Colbert came into the

game as coach Lethlean demanded quicker ball

movement. In the end, it seemed that only one

team was running and while the home team came

back from a goal down late in the piece, Sautner

strutted his stuff again to seal an emphatic victory.

BIG V TRIUMPHS OVER EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE


BIG V Premier C-Division 4 vs EFL Divs 3 and 4.

In the curtain-raiser, the EFL defeated the

VAFA Premier C – Div 4 team by 15 points in a

highly entertaining contest. Banyule’s Adam

Barclay booted eight for the Big V in a brilliant

performance, but could not get his team over the

line.

Skipper Gareth Snow won the toss for the VAFA

and kicked with a slight breeze. The Ammos held

sway early, but might have registered a few more

scores given their forward entries.

The Easterners had an unhappy time in front of

the sticks but straightened up to dominate the

middle part of the contest, booting ten goals to

fi ve in the second and third terms.

The last quarter was a shootout but the visitors

couldn’t get closer than 9 points despite the

mercurial Barclay and a supporting cast that did

everything possible to steal the game.

Coach Dean Matthews suff ered poor luck when

he lost Rob Chisholm and Ben Phibbs before the

game and Paul Groves soon after the fi rst bounce.

EFL: 1.2 5.12 11.13 17.16 (118)

VAFA: 3.3 6.7 8.10 15.11 (101)

Goals: Adam Barclay 8, Leigh Fletcher, Paul

Baranello, David Boundy, Rees Thomas, Matt

Keown, Justin Crotty, Warren Carlyle.

Best: Adam Barclay, Gareth Snow, Mitch Grant,

James Tran, Leigh Fletcher, Jon Blanch.

The games were held to conclude the Eastern

Football League’s 50th anniversary celebrations

and the proceeds went to the offi cial charities of

the respective bodies.


RETR

OGeoff Reilley

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011

In a stunning opening to the season, Caulfi eld

Grammarians trounced St Bernard’s at St Bernard’s

in Premier B by 119 points, 25.21 to 7.10. The

stalwarts at St Bernard’s were dumfounded but

promised a much better showing in the return

game. Best – Shanahan, L Price, Meredith (6), L

O’Keefe, T Sundberg (3), Pelchen (Caulfi eld) and A

Stapleton, M Stapleton, Sullivan. Madden, George

(3), Cooke (St Bernard’s).

It was a low scoring and dour struggle in Premier

C between Monash Blues and Old Essendon.

Still anyone’s game at three quarter time, it was

Monash who got over the line, 9.9 to 7.4. Best

– McKenzie, Bartram, Smyth, Main, Davidson,

McCart (Monash) and Wilson, R Jones, Ryan,

Stewart, B Jones (Essendon).

5 YEARS AGO – 2007

VAFA CEO Michael Sholly welcomed two new

clubs, South Mornington in D4 and St Francis

Xavier in Club XVlll. South Mornington met a

pumped up Box Hill North and after an even fi rst

quarter succumbed to BHN’s pressure and all

round ability, 24.12 to 10.19. Best Hood, R Ball (5),

Odza, Irvine (3), Riscalla, Manno (BHN) and Brower,

Welsby, Sissons, Ryan, Kemp, Bolger (SM).

St Francis Xavier had a great start against Mazenod

Old Collegians 18.23 to 10.7. Best – Russo, A Pryor,

B Pryor, Lenders, Gargan, Cunningham (StF) and

D McMullin, Crameri, Hawkins, Fahey, Buszard, S

however and there hadn’t been more than a

goal in it until the fi nal change. Best – Fennel,

It was the centenary year of the VAFA and the

introduction of a 25 metre penalty to replace the

former 50 metre was one of the major changes. St

Bernard’s and Old Xaverians returned to A Section

at the expense of Uni Blues and Old Melburnians

and the State team would play the South

Australian amateurs as a curtain raiser at Waverley

Park before the Hawthorn V Adelaide game. St

Bernard’s made a great start with a comprehensive

other OI player to crack 250. Power House’s Peter

Stewart reached his 150th along with Rod Bertram

at Clayton. Ron Verma (MHSOB) and Mark McColl

(Kew) both played their 50th. Both Ron and Mark

and fairest. Since then Evgenie has been a regular senior player. In 2010 and 2011 he has

often shown his brilliance and is one of the excitement machines at the Jackas. Certainly

the highlight of his AJAX career would be the 2 medals he won last year as the Michael

Ritterman medallist as best on ground in the winning AJAX premiership. Congratulation

Evgenie.

50 Kew’s Lachie Orr a lively centre man and a good clubman who adds a bit of never

forgotten spice at our functions.”

UNDE

R 19

Another season of U19 football begins today. For

so many, it is the fi rst toe in the VAFA waters, the

fi rst venture in what may become a long career

with an Ammo club. We look back ten years to see

those names on U19 playing lists and we can ask

“where are they now?” of most. But a signifi cant

number are still with us, stars for their club and

in the Big V, doing well in a profession, business

or trade. Ben Carboni of Caulfi eld Grammarians,

Leigh Fletcher of Hampton Rovers, Jack Healy of

Old Trinity spring to mind.

In recent years, De La Salle has consistently

been the power club at this level. Old Xaverians

has been nipping at its heels and last year won

the U19 Premier fl ag as well as the U19 South

premiership. However, U19 football can change

quickly, with players graduating to senior ranks,

being lured elsewhere or retiring through lack of

senior pathways. Sadly, in recent years, more than

one club has won a premiership at U19 level yet

failed to fi eld a team the following season.

In 2011, North 1 and South 1 became Sections

2 and 3 in the mid-year, which reduced the

incidence of blow-outs. Accordingly, this year

the competition comprises three sections graded

according to strength and two according to

geography.

This is how it looks, with my stronger possibilities

Melburnians; Old Scotch; Old Xaverians; St

R 18

Changing football priorities has left the U18

competition a little short on teams, though

there is no doubt that this age level is a very

important part of the strategy of some clubs.

Once again, we expect some fearsome

competition among the VAFA’s youngest

players. With a bye built-in, there is an

opportunity for players to test themselves at

higher levels, whether U19, Reserves or for the

very best, seniors.

The clubs competing this year are mainly

from the west/north-west, a hot-bed of junior

football. However, watch for St Mary’s Salesian,

who have had great numbers at training in the

pre-season and hope to get off to a good start.

The seven teams are: Oakleigh; Rupertswood;

St Bernard’s; St Mary’s Salesian; UHS-VU /

Flemington; Werribee Districts; Williamstown

Great to be back with a new season fi nally

upon us after the longest preseason ever.

Macca: Just like to start off by acknowledging

my co-scribe Cam Davidson on recently

completing the Tough Mudder Challenge at

Phillip Island. He needed a big rest after that

and we’ll see him return from overseas very

soon.

Cam: Thanks Macca, great to be back. Tough

Mudder was tough but I wish you well and of

course big brother Rusty as you both compete

in the Oxfam Trailwalker over 100 km. Rusty’s

team will be fl ying along hoping to fi nish in

about 16 hours, whilst Macca’s team is hoping

to amble along and fi nish in about 25 hours.

Hopefully both will be fi t and well for Round 2.

Changes at the top.

We’d like to welcome a couple of new assistant

coaches to the ranks as well. Neil Woods and

John Booker will assist Robert Sebbens with

the boundary umpires Peter Teasdale will

assist Mark Gibson with the D2 to D4 fi eld

umpires.

Milestones

We start with a couple of big ones. At

Glenhuntly in the Clash between Caulfi eld

Grammarians and St. Bernard’s, both goal

umpires will be hoping for a great day. After

stints as a fi eld umpire and boundary umpire,

Life Member Craig Brajtberg celebrates

350 VAFA games. At the other end we see a

slighter bigger milestone as the legendary

Dom Napoli celebrates his 400th VAFA game.

Both have had fantastic careers with plenty of

fi nals and grand fi nals along the way. Hope

you guys have a great day and a few people

can call into the after-match at Caulfi eld to

give them the respect and recognition they

deserve.

WELCOME BACK!Pre-Season Review

Plenty of news coming out of Elsternwick Park in

the early stages of pre-season. We have dozens

of new members (thanks largely to the Bobby

Sebbens Recruitment Drive continuing from

last year), and some returning faces (Michael

Hooper from WA, amongst others).

Bowled Over

A fantastic social night was enjoyed by all at

the Elsternwick Bowls Club recently. Well done

to President Luke Holmes for this initiative and

the large numbers in attendance. Great shot of

Lionel Katz as the most formal bowler we’ve

ever seen. (Photo attached)

A Snag, Beer and Mortgage From Our

Sponsors…

The VAFAUA is proud to announce the ongoing

association with our major sponsors Orca and

Personal Mortgage Managers.

Boags have kindly agreed to assist us with

match day polo shirts (minus the logo for those

underage umps!), and there will be further

announcements to come regarding their

involvement. Finally, the good folk at Harris

Family Butchers (73 Mackie Rd, East Bentleigh)

have done a fantastic job in providing us with

meat for our regular BBQs.
