Getting YOU back in the game
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.

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

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.

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.

Yarra Valley v UHS-VU
21THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
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.

12 MONTHS AGO – 2011
The C Section preliminary fi nal was a blow out when
AJAX played magnifi cently against Old Camberwell
28.16 to 10.5. Best – Steinberg (3), Lew (9), Jankie,
Winograd, Routman, Measey (AJAX) and Tolson, Deev,
Le Cerf, Kapoor, Killwirth, Carlyle (Old Camberwell).
Parkdale Vultures were too good for Banyule in the
Division 1 Grand Final 16.8 to 8.14. It was all over
by three quarter time. Best – Hayward, Kelleher,
Redmond, Oakley (7), Ryan (5), Grant (Parkdale) and
Cusack, Christian, Dillon, Shepherd, Barclay (3), Brown
(Banyule).
Luke Holmes was voted “Umpire of the Year” at the
VAFAUA’s annual dinner; Jayde Daly was awarded the
“Most Promising Umpire” award.
St Johns won the Division 2 Grand Final 11.18 to 6.10
and the result was a shock to many who thought Glen
Eira to be a certainty. Best – Phaedonas, O’Connor,
Gaget, Dyker, Scott (5), Chalk (StJ) and Mills, Spink,
Waras, Carstensen, Diamond, Higgins, King (GE).
5 YEARS AGO – 2007
Old Brighton defeated University Blues to gain
another crack at Old Xaverians in the A Section Grand
Final. The Blues trailed by 5 goals at half time and the
diff erence increased as the game wore on; fi nal score
13.15 to 6.12. Best – Hendra, Hughes, Jakobi, Pirrie
(5), Gadsden, Dickerson (OB) and McKinnon, Knowles,
Steele, Gleeson, Watts, O’Riley (UB).
Uni Blacks earned their spot in the B Section Grand
Final when they won the preliminary against Old
Essendon 18.13 to 13.5. Best – Batten, M Kempton,
Vanderloo (5), Costello, Symon, Purcell (Blacks) and
Skurrie (6), Day, D Biggs, Goullet, Ward, Clifton (OE).
Oakleigh won the D1 Section fl ag against Hampton
Rovers 19.10 to 8.11 and probably had the game sewn
up at quarter time with 8.2 to 2.4. Best – Britt, Harold,
Bromley (6), Counihan, Holden, Fitzgerald (Oakleigh)
and Dallas, Malthouse, Duddy, Carr, Zampaglione,
Deboer (HR).
It was South Melbourne Districts’ year when they
defeated Aquinas Old collegians in the D2 Grand Final
18.16 to 10.12. The Districts’ 8 goal fi rst term was the
diff erence. Best – Aquilina, Jess, E Costello, Mahoney,
Cronan (3), Cheevers (SMD) and J Jess, Olarenshaw,
Toomey, Williams, Cooper, Lorkin (Aquinas).
Old Westbourne were the deserving D3 Premiers
following their great win over Ivanhoe 14.20 to 7.11
after trailing at half time by 3 points. Best – Connors,
Hunter, Pavez, Connors, Fairfi eld, Smith (OW) and
Crapper, Lynacoln, Rawley, Brown, Meredith, Pye
(Ivanhoe).
10 YEARS AGO – 2002
The U19 Section 1 preliminary fi nal between Old
Brighton and Old Xaverians was a very tight contest
until half time with Brighton holding an eleven point
lead. Brighton broke away in the third term with 7
goals to 2 and despite a fi ght back from the Xavs,
Brighton won 12.5 to 8.10 and would meet St Kevins
in the Grand Final the following week. Best – Hughes,
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
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Williamstown CYMS v Old Geelong

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.
U18 Grand Final
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
for the club in 2012. I lean to Oakleigh in this
one after their second semi win a fortnight
ago.

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.
