Getting YOU back in the game
1THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
In my travel around Melbourne last weekend I
took in a Division 4 reserves game. I stayed to see
the fi rst quarter of the seniors match and a group
of young reserves players came over to a car next
to me to watch the game. A conversation started
with the driver who was a parent and former
player at the club. He stated that he watched
his club play every week and loved it. “I love the
rawness of the matches,” he said, as two players
collided in a bump that saw them sprawling on
the ground.
At the VAFA Umpires Association Awards night at
the MCC Dining Room on Monday, guest speaker
Luke Ball said he stood with his school buddy
Jobe Watson watching the Club XVIII grand fi nal
the previous day at Sportscover Arena and he
used the same phrase, “I enjoyed the rawness
of the game.” His next sentence was a bit more
frightening to other Premier Section clubs in that
he would love to join Jobe and his cousin from
Sydney, Josh Kennedy and fi nish off their careers
together playing for the Old Xaverians.
I am an avid watcher of all sport but at the
moment Australian Rules, and all professional
sport for that matter, has lost that rawness. I
sense the public is tired of the fact there seem
to be more dramas off the fi eld than there are
on it. The major issues fi lling our newspapers are
Lance Armstrong’s USADA doping allegations,
Travis Cloke’s contract, Brett Ratten’s coaching
position, tennis players potentially boycotting
the Australian Open and the horse race fi xing
inquiry involving senior jockeys.
Over the next four weeks you won’t get any better
example of sport in its purest form than watching
the 100 VAFA teams embark on a premiership
campaign. There will not be any discussions of
what price you can get if Parkdale Vultures go
from Division 2 to Premier C in consecutive years,
whether Cam Howat had a drink with his mates at
the Barkly on Sunday night or even whether Old
Trinity tanked against Uni Blues two weeks back
so they could be relegated. There will be no talk
from the clubs who missed out on fi nals action on
how they need to fi nd another $50,000 so they
can compete. What a relief that our competition
doesn’t rely on any outside infl uences.
I know that the readers of my editorials are
already converted to amateur football but at this
time of the year on the eve of fi nals we should
celebrate the great game of amateur football.
There are no benefi ts, no better facilities or
coaching panels that diff erentiate the teams, no
salary cap but just twenty-two team-mates who
have found their level, be it Premier or Division 4
reserves, trying to achieve something together.
The VAFA relies heavily on the gate receipts for
fi nals but we do endeavour to off er reduced
fi nals for those who watch multiple games. This
year for $40 you can purchase a go anywhere
fi nals series ticket that allows entry into all eight
days of action across multiple grounds over the
four week feast of fi nals footy. Five dollars a day
is huge value for the amount of entertainment
provided.

SPORTS INJURY CASUALTY - OPEN 1-7 SATURDAY
Apparently winning form is good form and three
of the four fi nalists in Premier adhered to this
philosophy with solid wins on the weekend. The one
exception was Old Xaverians who came up against
fellow fi nalist De La Salle at the Dairy Bell and were
subject to a De La blitz in the fi rst term that has
interesting ramifi cations for the fi nals in a week’s
time. It must be said that had it been De La Salle
who surrendered to Old Xavs in a similar manner, the
same aspersions would have been cast about them.
Old Xaverians have had a tough run of late thanks to
the winter rains and schedule which has seen them
play three of four games in bog like conditions. Pretty
football had to be sacrifi ced in favour of kicking off
the ground, belting the ball forward and tough
tackling heavy football. So when Old Xavs were faced
with a wave after wave of running possession football
in the opening quarter against De La Salle it was a
shock to the system. However the question remains;
with nothing to play for other than winning form,
how much of Old Xaverians play in recent weeks has
been foxing and how much of it is reality? This week’s
round 18 preview of the second semi-fi nal should tell
us more.
We start the review at Waverly Park where De La Salle
put on a clinic in the opening quarter to slam on
eight majors to one. Half of the goals came from the
boot of Sam Pickett – who ended up with fi ve for the
day - and Brett Eddy is starting to move very nicely
having missed so much football. To be fair to Old Xavs
they managed to bring the game back to relative
parity but still only had four goals on the board to
three quarter time. A short burst from Xavs to start
the fi nal quarter got them to within fi ve goals but it
was as close as they got. The Williams boys – Jacob
and Sam – Sam Haslem and Jacob Gotch controlled
the midfi eld for most of the day for De La whilst Matt
Handley was always a threat up forward for Old Xavs
fi nishing with three of their seven goals.
Old Scotch put any doubts of an implosion to bed
early on at University Oval as the Cardinals led Uni
Blues by 51 points at half time. The Blues having
secured safety the week before, in the opening
exchanges played like they had already had their Mad
Monday as Scotch pressured them out of possession
then executed accurately on the break, showing the
confi dence of a side on its way to September. Tom
McKinley left off from his good form last week and
he had good company with Gene Van Den Broek
also dominant in midfi eld. Messrs Passador and
Davis kicked three goals each as the Cardinals played
quality football throughout.
Collegians have also been building their form into
fi nals like condition and there was no reason to let
that form slip as they hosted St Bedes / Mentone
Tigers at Harry Trott. After a tight fi rst term the game
opened up in the second as Collegians kicked fi ve
goals to two for the term. The third quarter was then
very interesting as the home side were held goalless,
registering just one behind whilst the Tigers got back
to within a kick at the fi nal change. The breeze played
a part but nothing could stop the torrent of ball
coming into the Collegians forward line in the fi nal
quarter. The Lions had 16 scoring shots to one kicking
10.6 for the quarter to blow the margin out to 11
goals. Shura Taft and Cam Lee both kicked four each
for the home side with Josh Kamenar again playing
well off half back. Jaryd Robertson was best for the
visitors while Paul Wintle was their only multiple goal
kicker.
Caulfi eld Grammarians had shown some solid form
in recent weeks and the feeling was a win was just
around the corner. The trip to St Bernards though is
never an easy one and so it proved to be. Perhaps
the Grammarians thought it would be a little easier
having run Old Xavs close the previous week, but
no game is easy in Premier and the Snowdogs have
a proud record at the Snakepit. Six goals in each of
the fi rst two quarters was a great result for the home
supporters in their last home game of the year. The
goals kept coming after the break with Andrew
Merrington on the end of seven goals out of his side’s
20 for the day. Chris Mitchell slotted a lazy six as St
Bernards ran out winners by 11 goals.
Something about Old Carey and Old Trinity brings out
close matches. Perhaps it’s the neighbourly factor, or
perhaps they just match up well. Old Carey were in
control for most of the game but an Old Trinity fi ght
back in front of their home fans for the last time in
Premier section for at least a season got them to

within fi ve points of the Panthers. Both sides were fl at
after the results of the previous week, but perhaps
Old Carey had just a fraction more to play for. They
lifted enough to win by 15 points, but on checking
the live scores app fans of Old Carey would have seen
that Old Scotch had beaten Uni Blues. A fi nal bitter
pill for the season, the reward is another honourable
5th place for Old Carey in just their second season in
Premier.
The team of the year covers all 10 teams from Premier
and has a solid mix of dominant backman, big marking
forwards, in and under midfi elds complimenting the
players that run all day. Congratulations to those that
made it and thank you to all coaching panels that
nominated players.
This week: Final round of the season and we bid
farewell to six sides from the running, two of who
will drop and we say thank you to both Old Trinity
and Caulfi eld Grammarians. Coincidentally they play
each other this week and I believe Caulfi eld will win at
home to avoid becoming the seventh side in the top
section to have a winless season. De La Salle won’t
miss at Old Carey and the Tigers will beat the Blues.
Old Scotch will defeat St Bernards and Old Xavs will
beat Collegians because they have to.

As the sky darkens on another home & away
season, all will be revealed by 4.30pm Saturday
under the neon hue of Live Score apps lighting
up footy pavilions everywhere. Smart phone
calculators will add to the glow as results and
percentages are punched out by nervous fi ngers,
eager to clutch that fi rst post-game bevvy. Can
Oakleigh stave off relegation? Can the Bloods
pull off a Bradbury-esque slide into the four?
Unlikely, but stranger things have happened on
this magical fi nal stage.
After their nine point win over Werribee,
Oakleigh are buoyed by the ever-so-slim
possibility of swapping relegation honours with
the ‘Bees if they can muster a big win over OMs
this week (and the ‘Tonners seal Werribee’s fate).
Leading well for most of the game, a last quarter
fade was probably typical of the Krusher’s
season, but they hung on despite an eight-goal
bag by Werribee’s Alex Taylor.
No such hope for the Hoes who suff ered a
fourteen goal humiliation at home at the hands
of Old Haileybury. The brothers Gieschen toiled
hard, but were no match for the Bloods who
dominated at both ends. Meehan kicked six while
Nicolopoulos got creative in the knowledge that
it isn’t quite over for the Magentas just yet. A big
win over St Kevins (plus a Krusher relegation-
switcheroo) could see them sneak into the fi nals.
Did I actually say this last round was a dead
rubber?
St Kevins under 19 players Giarusso and Paul
impressed on debut against AJAX, but an
otherwise uninspiring performance saw the
tri-colours trail by four goals at quarter time.
Routman was electric in his fi nal 2012 game
as the Jackas threatened an upset; but SKOB
steadied with fi ve in the third to run out 22 point
winners. Mmmm, the Bloods just might get a
sniff this week.
Delahunty showed versatility in Uni Black’s
arm-wrestle with Old Brighton at South Road.
Teammate Lacey kicked a pair in the wind
before a clash of heads saw the claret fl ow from
his noggin; thankfully there’s always a Black’s
surgeon (or three) on hand with a darning
needle. Portelli gave the ‘Tonners good forward
impetus through the ruck in the last term and an
upset threatened, but the Uni boys hung on by
seven points.
The Sharks sent a strong statement to Old
Melburnians, the only blemish being inaccuracy
(12.23) capping the margin at fi ve goals. Di
Natale and Gower kicked four each however,
while Batten batted away what he could for the
dark blues.
Team of the Year
Thanks to those who sent through well
considered nominations. The TOTY is always a
tight squeeze; blending the consistent with the
enigmatic. Surely a true representation has a bit
of both, therefore some have missed the cut by
the barest of margins.
Best and Fairest
Good luck to all clubs competing in fi nals
and farewell to relegated sides - we hope to
see you bounce back quickly. The GT Moore
Medal count will take place Wednesday night,

6 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012

Just one round left in Premier C and only top spot
and relegation is certain, with a mighty struggle
still to be played out between Mazenod, PEGS and
Old Camberwell for the fi nal spot in the top four.
The Rovers would have given themselves a great
chance at scoring that elusive victory against
Monash, in their last home game of the season.
But, unfortunately for the home side, they
couldn’t get out of the blocks in the fi rst quarter,
as the Ashes built a considerable lead, behind
the brilliant play of Tim McKenzie. An improved
second quarter saw the Rovers creating more
opportunities, but failing to convert, going into
the rooms with 2.13 on the board. It got worse
from there, as the Ashes kept them scoreless in
the third, while piling on fi ve goals of their own, to
put the result beyond doubt. Ewan Flanagan and
Zac Ledin were immense for the Blues, while Leigh
Fletcher was BOG in his 150th for the Rovers.
The Vultures were clearly out to make a statement
in their fi nal home game for 2012 and Banyule
unfortunately was on the receiving end of perhaps
the most polished display of football we’ve seen
this year. It was all over by quarter time and the
margin went past three fi gures during the third
quarter. Matthew Boland was back , kicking six as
one of an incredible nine multiple goalkickers.
Mark Kidner had his best game for the year and
Charlie Dillon injected a bit of youth into the
veteran Parkdale outfi t. The Bears struggled to fi nd
a consistent avenue to goal, with young Biscuit Tin
providing a bright spot.
With both Old Camberwell and Marcellin being
on a bit of a roller coaster over the past month,
who knew what was going to happen in this
clash of traditional AGS rivals? It ended up being
Old Camberwell who reversed their recent form,
getting on top in the second quarter and keeping
the Eagles at bay, to grab a famous victory at
Marcellin and keep their fi nals hopes alive.
Bennett, Kapoor and Hart were the standouts for
the visitors, while Jarrod Carlson was at his brilliant
best for the Eagles, who are now no certainty to
hang on to the double chance.
An incredible game was played out at PEGS,
between two teams with everything to play for. It
looked like Mazenod was going to close the door
on PEGS and Old Camberwell, as they opened up
a fi ve goal advantage at quarter time. The home
side bounced back in the second, restricting
the Nodders to a single point for the stanza and
cutting the margin to less than a straight kick.
The tables were turned again after the teams
emerged from the changerooms, with Mazenod
again skipping away to a 23 point lead at the fi nal
change. But, in an amazing fi nal quarter, PEGS
banged home eight straight, as the Nodders again
went goalless in the fi nal quarter. Brett Hannah
has been sensational for PEGS, since coming up
from the unders and Chris Goullet was as busy as
usual. Byron Bonner did his best to stem the fl ow,
but it just wasn’t enough and the Nodders must
regroup in a hurry, in order to book their place in
the fi nals.
Out at Salesian, the game between Rupertswood
and Fitzroy played out as you’d expect, when
one team is stuck in the middle of the ladder and
the other is pushing for a top two spot. Fitzroy
was never seriously challenged and kept Rupo
scoreless in the second and fourth quarters.
The second term, in particular, wasn’t one for
the archives, with just four points added to the
scoreboard from quarter time. Matt Kyroussis was
outstanding for the Roys with four goals and Jack
Dalton was very solid in the win, which leaves

them just half a percent behind Marcellin for that
top two spot. Lachlan Baddeley and Nash Egan
were the standouts for Rupo.
This week, Mazenod again just has to win to hang
on to fourth spot. Problem is, they’re playing
against the Vultures. But I’ve just got a feeling that
at home and with Parkdale being locked in to top
spot, the Nodders will win this one. PEGS travels
to Monash and, if Mazenod slips up, the last fi nals
spot is theirs to lose. They’ll be up for this one and
will win well. Old Camberwell will also be playing
for a chance at fourth spot and will do the job
against Rupertswood at home. Marcellin will beat
an undermanned Banyule and Fitzroy will end the
Rovers’ very tough season, but even if these games
are blowouts, you can be assured that there will be
a great deal of interest in the results, to see which
team earns the right to meet Parkdale in the fi nals.

ST BERNARDS CHRIS MITCHELL AND LUKE O’SULLIVAN BID FAREWELL TO PLAYING
Fittingly, two of St Bernards favourite sons will
hang up the boots together after round 18.
Luke ‘Lossa’ O’Sullivan and Chris ‘Clang’
Mitchell both came through St Bernards Junior
and Under 19 ranks, both went on to play over
200 games (including over 170 Senior games)
in St Bernards most successful era. Luke
O’Sullivan was Captain of the Under 19 side
before he made his senior debut in 1999 and
became a permanent fi xture in the Seniors
line up as a key forward and a member of the
all conquering A Grade Premiership side in
2002. Luke also played in the 2003 and 2004
Grand Finals and has been a Vice Captain and
runner-up in the B&F on two occasions. After a
stint overseas Luke returned to ‘the Snakepit’
and added ‘key backman’ to his CV. While he
has moderated his ‘speccy’ count in recent
years Luke still maintains the big leap and
those long arms fi sting the ball away draw
favourable comparisons with the Bomber’s
Dustin Fletcher. Chris Mitchell Started his
career as a 17 year old back pocket who rarely
lost a one on one contest before becoming
a dangerous small forward who loves a goal
especially if it comes after taking a goal
square hanger. Chris debuted in 1999 and like
Lossa was a big part of St Bernards golden
period regularly playing A Grade fi nals and
capped off in 2002 with an A Grade fl ag. Chris
has been a popular and regular senior player
over many years and it is great testimony to
him that he is now the 6th highest player for
senior games in St Bernards history (175) a
remarkable achievement. Chris is the eldest
of fi ve boys, all of whom have played Senior
footy at ‘the Snakepit’ except youngest Luke
who was drafted to Carlton in 2010 and has
also received great support from mum Denise
and dad Gavin over the journey.
RETIRING CHAMPION PLAYERS
With only a couple of weeks of the home and
away season remaining it’s a good time to
acknowledge the players that have decided
that this will be their last season. Of course
we recognise that by acknowledging now,
we leave ourselves open for embarrassment
when team lists are lodged early next year.
The warmth of summer and a few months off
has players thinking that one more year might
be possible but reality might hit by the middle
of May next season.
FINALS SERIES TICKETS
This year the VAFA is off ering a fi nals series ticket for $40 that will get you access to
all VAFA fi nals venues over the four week fi nals series. That is 8 days of football that
you will get access to for only $5 a day. Details on how to purchase these fi nals series

After the success of last season’s vote count
being broadcast live on 96.5 Inner FM the
VAFA is proud to announce that all senior
sections will have the their vote counts
broadcast next Tuesday 4th and Wednesday
5th September from 8-10pm. Votes will be
read out live on air from round 9-18 for each
of Division 4 through 1 on Tuesday night. The
same will happen for Premier C and Premier
B with all 18 rounds of Premier being read
out on Wednesday night. For those teams
participating in fi nals your Tuesday training
session could be complemented with a post
training get together to listen to the count. On
Wednesday perhaps the Premier clubs might
like to organise a place to meet to listen to the
counts. Ken Petrucco and Michael Crooks will
be dissecting the counts and interviewing the
winners (if they answer their phones) as soon
as the count is complete. There will be a live
blog of the counts at vafa.com.au and you can
get involved on Twitter and Facebook using
the hashtag #vafamedals.
THANK YOU DOLLY
Allister “Dolly” Parton will always be
remembered as an Old Carey legend and the
catalyst in the clubs recent march through the
VAFA’s grades, culminating in their historic
entry into Premier A grade in 2011. No one
player at Old Carey has had such a signifi cant
impact on our club, his leadership, motivation,
example and commitment. Loved by all at the
club and revered by his opponents as a fi erce
competitor, Dolly will be sadly missed. In true
form, Dolly has already committed to the club
in an off fi eld role in 2013, so whilst we will
miss his customary on fi eld presence we are
delighted that Dolly is going to stay involved.
A summation of his football career is full of
highlights. In year 11 he won the Carey 1st
18 B & F whilst playing with Oakley Chargers.
In 1999 captained the 1st 18 to Carey’s fi rst
APS Premiership and was captain of the APS
team. He won another premiership the next
year in A Grade as he switched colours to
Old Xaverians where he kicked the winning
goal in the Grand Final triumph. He played A
Section fi nals for Old Xavs in 2001-2 before
returning to Old Carey in 2003 to play fi nals
in Division 2. In 2004 Dolly was made captain
of Old Carey and he led them to the Division
2 Grand Final with him being selected in the
VAFA representative team that year. As Captain,
Dolly led Old Carey to a Division 1 premiership
in 2006 and runners up in Premier C in 2007.
He was again a Big V representative in 2006
where he was Vice Captain. After a short two
year stint in the Eastern Football League, Dolly
returned to Old Carey in 2010 to be a part of
their successful Premier B premiership side. In
2011 Old Carey had their fi rst year in Premier
and Dolly fi nished 4th in the competition B
& F. This year a shoulder injury forced his mid
season retirement from the game.

David Trinchi played his fi nal game for the
Manningham Cobras last week in their Round
18 two point loss to North Brunswick after
fi fteen years of service to the Club. It was his
259th game and last games and the heartache
of the 2 point loss was felt by all. In addition
to being a legendary player, David has fulfi lled
virtually every other role at the Cobras from
offi ce bearer to ground marking. He is a best
& fairest winner, member of the team of the
decade and a life member of the Club. David
is held in the highest esteem by all at the
Manningham Cobras and while wishing him

A COBRA FOR LIFE
The annual VAFA Umpires Association Pre
Finals Dinner was held on Monday night this
week at the MCC Dining Room. The occasion
is a celebration of the umpiring team and
their achievements to date in 2012. The
guest speaker was Collingwood premiership
player Luke Ball and the former Xavier
College student hinted that he is a chance
to return to the Black and Red colours of Old
Xaverians once his playing days were up. In
a worrying scenario for Premier clubs, Luke
said he watched the Club XVIII Grand Final last
weekend to see the Crocs win the fl ag over
Old Melburnians with his former school mate
Jobe Watson and both discussed a potential
return to Xavs in the coming years. Throw into
the mix the possibility of Josh Kennedy one
day returning too then all of a sudden there
is a massive injection of talent. As if Old Xavs
needed it! Luke confi rmed he would be willing
to play under his brother and current Xavs
captain Matt if he was still going around after
he decides to fi nish with Collingwood.

ACKNOWLEDGING DES
Des Blanchfi eld is a retiring champion of
Mazenod Old Collegians Football Club. Des has
been a member of the club since it’s inception
in 1978 along with wife Trish (canteen) and
sons Mark and Darren (boundary umpiring /
playing). Des volunteered to take on the ground
marking duties in 1994 when the club moved
to Central Reserve (near the family home) and
over that time Des has spent hours each week
doing the rounds of both ovals so the players
can take the fi eld. For many years Des and
Trish also cleaned the Mazenod clubrooms and
ensured the facility was in the best possible
condition for all players and supporters. Des
has decided to hand over the keys to the line
marking machine at the end of 2012, and the
club wishes to sincerely thank Des, Trish and
family for all they have done for the club.
WEIGHED DOWN BY MEDALS
Amidst the celebrations of the Crocs win in the

We say all as before Premiership medallions

Old Westbourne’s Brad Merryweather was an integral member in the Clubs fi rst ever VAFA
Premiership in 2004 and after a few years off itchy feet got the better of him and he returned
at the beginning of this season with a couple of mates to become a fantastic contributor

With the weather taking a decidedly spring-like
turn for the better, in the air around town we can
suddenly detect the whiff of fi nals. The hard slog
of eighteen rounds of preliminaries is over, and
now we have arrived at the big show. Let’s be
honest; for a number of weeks now the fi nal four
has been pretty much cut and dried, with much
of the interest centring on whom would be
relegated back to Division 2 along with St John’s.
But that early settling of the fi nals combatants
in no way detracts from what promises to be a
most intriguing fi nals series.
The fi nal round of the season threw up some
results which were not as easily foreseen as
those of previous weeks. Old Geelong probably
caused the most raising of eye-brows with their
one point defeat of second placed Peninsula at
Como. In a cracking game of footy which was
worthy of two fi nals contenders, the Hoops were
three points up at the fi rst break, and managed
to maintain a narrow lead for most of the day. In
the third, Old Geelong should have put the game
to bed but were wasteful, booting 4.6. Of course
the Pirates only being down by three goals at
the fi nal change threw everything at their hosts
and almost made them pay, falling short by the
narrowest of margins. More than anything else,
this win will give the Oggers enormous belief
heading into the fi nals and shows that they are
not simply there to make up the numbers.
History will record that Whitefriars had a sound
49-point win over cellar-dwelling St John’s, but
the manner of the victory was unconvincing.
Understandably, it could all possibly be put
down to the fact that the Friars had their eyes
fi rmly fi xed on their semi fi nal appointment at
Sportscover. Second and fourth quarter bursts
of 8 and 7 goals respectively were enough to
secure the points. The NOBs were more ruthless
in their disposal of Glen Eira, given that the
Saints were playing for their place in this comp.
But the top team simply had too much class,
booting 8.6 in the fi rst quarter to eff ectively end
the contest by the fi rst break. Todd Patterson led
the way with 5 majors.
Although Old Mentonians have had much to
cheer about, their poor back half of the year
(two wins from their last ten) continued when
they were defeated at home by MHSOB by 10
points. The Unicorns had their share of injury
concerns throughout the year, so to fi nish in fi fth
place is a creditable eff ort. Ormond fi nished the
year on a positive note, crushing Williamstown
by twelve goals. The best that can be said for
Willy’s disappointing season is that they did just
enough to stave off relegation.
2nd Semi Preview: I have always to subscribed
to the theory that – especially for club
administrators – this is the biggest match of
the year. Win this one and you are up into the
Premier grades; a huge relief, and vindication
of all the hard work on and off the fi eld. Lose
this, and it is back to sudden-death! North Old
Boys – St Patrick’s have been the most consistent
team of the home and away rounds. True,
their percentage is some 50 points shy of their
opponents, but they have been much steadier,
losing only one match (way back in round 2).
That the loss was by 88 points to Peninsula only
further whets the appetite for this match. When

the Pirates win, they win big! But last year’s fi nals
disappointment may have steeled the NOBs
veterans for one last almighty crack at it in 2012,
and I think they will prevail. If conditions are
fi ne, it promises to be a fantastic, high scoring
encounter.
1st Semi Preview: Having fi nished four games
outside of the four in 2011, Old Geelong have
undoubtedly been the big improvers of this
season. They are in good form, winning seven of
their last eight, and they are hitting September
with the scalp of the Pirates under their belt.
Whitefriars, whilst blessed with a deep playing
list, have appeared a little unsettled at times this
season due to a frustratingly long injury list. The
Friars have rarely seen all of their best cattle on
the park at the same time. Although Old Geelong
copped a 43-point win caning from Friars only
a fortnight ago, both teams will front up this
week-end with a number of diff erent personnel.
Indeed, the Friars’ line-up could feature up to
seven changes. But I feel OGs are hitting peak
form at the right time and I am narrowly tipping
them to continue on to the preliminary fi nal.
Relegation: Here’s hoping that both Glen Eira
and St John’s OC can have big pre-seasons and
bounce back from the disappointments of 2012.

With the ladder squared away coming into the
fi nal round, round 18 acted as a swan song for six
sides and a vehicle for experimental game plans
for four clubs.
Continuing their incredible record at East
Caulfi eld Reserve, the Gryphons surprised
Old Paradians by 38 points, Kye Cherien was
sensational with three goals for the Gryphs
while Daniel Spitty was back to his scintillating
best for the travelling side. With the scalps of
Prahran, Eltham, and now Old Paradians to their
name, there was a chorus of relief that Monash
won’t be competing in this year’s fi nals series.
In another surprise upset, it was the battle of
the spear heads at Ferndale Park, James Rogers
kicking seven for St Mary’s, only to be matched
by eight majors from Therry Penola’s Carey
Bannister. Unfortunately for the Lions, the eight
wouldn’t be enough, going down by 17. Joining
Rogers in the best for the Saints was Heath
Chipperfi eld and team of the year wingman
David West while for Therry, Mitchell Trimble
and Mark Faroldi were suitable sidekicks for
Bannister.
While he may be putting on a brave face,
whispers coming from Prahran-Assumption
are that Adam Sleight is absolutely gutted that
Sab Ciavola pinched the leading goal kicker
award from his weathered dukes on Saturday. So
much so, to avoid further heartbreak, is fl oating
is no easy task, they’ve done it twice before this
season, and they will do it again on Saturday,
earning a place in the big dance and a week’s
rest.
Prahran Assumption vs Old Paradians
Along with South Melbourne Old Paradians
are the only side to have knocked Bulleen off ,
however their form couldn’t have been worse
coming into the fi nals series. Last week suff ering
a crippling defeat at the hands of the lowly
placed Monash Gryphons. Although Paradians
have the assets, to stop Sleight, players like
Musster and Parsons will prove too diffi cult.

After 18 weeks the fi nal fi ve is set. So, if the Bears
beat the Bloods and Ivanhoe beats Uni High in
the Amateur Division 3 elimination fi nal, then
Kew goes to the Grand fi nal, unless Aquinas can
upset Yarra Valley and Ivanhoe ties Uni, then
Kew would play Aquinas and the Bushrangers
in a blind choice round robin. And if no clear
winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack
race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a
champion can be crowned. Alas into last week’s
fi xtures.
22.20 plays 6.4 read the Brens Oval Scoreboard
at half fi ve on Saturday afternoon. Another
annihilation Division 3 has witnessed. Fitting
I suppose that it was Old Westbourne getting
a footy lesson from the Uni lads. It was a non-
event really. Uni High was too good from start
to fi nish.
Yarra Valley’s search for that heart of gold was in
no way dissolved, as they sent Aquinas packing
with their tails between their legs. The powerful
Bushrangers led at every change. The game
being over at halftime when they pulled away
to a 43-point lead. However there’s no time for
dreaming, Yarra must still get up and do there
thing when it counts.
Albert Park hosted Richmond with only pride
on the line. The two teams played a very
competitive game under the circumstances,
as it was not as if the world was going up in
fl ames for the loser. Richmond has shown they
belong in Div three and while Albert Park had a
disappointing season, both sides will be better
for the run in 2012.
Elsternwick needed a win to keep their fi nals
hopes alive. It was always going to be a
tough ask against Ivanhoe though. It proved
a mountain to high for the Wicks, as Ivanhoe
cruised home to an 11-point win. After being
named in the team of the year, Ryan Fort’s head
has grown a substantial amount, but when
he booted a real dirty drop kick bung from 50
metres out and it dribbled through about 25
players to score the maximum, his head almost
blew off .
Powerhouse caused an upset of sorts when
they defeated Hawthorn. After 16 rounds of
singing “Why is it so hard, to make it in D3”, they
have come out and won two of their last three.
Too little too late for the House, they will still be
relegated to D4 where they should have more
success. Hawthorn will be joining them, this
game is sure to spark some fi re in the belly for
2013.
There was more heartache and pain for St.
Francis Xavier. After a brilliant start to the
year they have fallen away substantially. This
week it was Kew that infl icted the damage. To
be honest Kew had so much more to play for,
with a fi nals birth on the line. The Bears played
accordingly, after a tight fi rst quarter they fl ew
home.
This week: As you can probably tell I still haven’t
fi gured out how the top fi ve fi nals system works.
and piles of data to try and fi nd a winner. After
hours of tossing and turning thinking about
each side’s strengths and weaknesses I came
up with this at about 3am last night, Ivanhoe
will have too much fi repower up forward for
Uni and Kew to cause a massive upset over
Aquinas. I don’t know why.
Again to the teams departing, thank you for a
great season of football. Good Luck next year.

22 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
DIVI
SION
4
After eighteen weeks of a long arduous winter
campaign, we are fi nally on the eve of the division
four fi nal series. As predicted a few months ago,
the best four sides in the section will battle it
out in September starting this weekend. South
Mornington who suff ered just their second loss
of the season on the weekend, Swinburne Uni,
the side that defeated the Tigers in a nail biter,
Point Cook and Eley Park are the four sides whose
seasons are still alive.
For the remaining six sides of Division Four, their
off season’s are probably already in full swing
with plans of travel and Saturday’s spent away
from a football ground more at the top of their
wish lists. With the fate of our fi nal’s aspirants
sealed a long time ago, there was not much to
play for in the fi nal month of the season.
The home and away season has been predictable
at times, but as I’ve mentioned throughout
season 2012, football is a funny game and the
seemingly unpredictable can happen. Less than
two months ago it appeared that there was only
one team that could win the fl ag in 2012. South
Mornington had won the opening twelve games
and looked unstoppable. After the weekend’s one
point loss to the Razorbacks, the Tigers have lost
their aura. No longer are they feared. Swinburne
Uni are the form side entering September and
South Mornington will have to rekindle their best
form if they are going to even reach the Grand
Final and ensure promotion into the next grade.
In one of their more impressive outings of the
year, Chadstone booted sixteen goals before
eventually going down to Box Hill North by 40
points. The Synners remained in the contest
until the beginning of the fi nal term, where the
Demons kicked away from the home side with
six goals to two in the fi nal quarter. Dan Penny
continued his rich vein of form to fi nish the
season on a high with a bag of six majors which
included a little bit of everything including a
miraculous snap over his right shoulder with
his back facing the goals. Damon Cuming was
the stand out for the home team with four goals
and a mob of contested marks to go with them.
Heading into next year, the Synners will be
determined to build on their impressive second
half of the season.
In the battle for fi fth spot, Manningham blew a
four goal lead to go down in one of the games
of the year by two points. With bragging rights
at stake, the Bulls were determined to fi nish
the season on a high and a four goal (and eight
behind) last quarter ensured that they would.
The Cobras have been one of the stories of the
year after climbing from ninth spot last year to
be a genuine challenger week in week out. Whilst
consistency has been their downfall at times, no
one could question their fl air and entertaining
brand of football played. Steve Rose was best
afi eld for the home side and Tarek Moughanie
was brilliant up forward with fi ve majors. Tom
Leary got the job done for the boys in green and
gold.
A 155 point victory should be just the medicine
to bring some confi dence into the fi nals series
for the Bulldogs. Saturday’s demolition of Mt
Lilydale highlighted Point Cook’s capacity to
score heavily and could be a sign of things to
come. Bags of goals from Ricky Munn 6, Brayden
Lucas 5 and Aaron Marsh 5 were the main
reasons for the annihilation. In what has been a
very disappointing season for the Rams, Russell
Strong was once again one of too few to get his
hands dirty. I’m predicting a tough pre season will
be meeting the Mt Lilydale outfi t as they lick their
front up until the fi nal term as the students stole
a victory that shouldn’t have been theirs. The
result ensures that next week’s game, where they
meet for a spot in the Grand Final, will be fi ercely
contested and could be the game of the season.
Eley Park fi nished the home and away season in
devastating form, knocking off West Brunswick
by 78 points in sensational fashion. The Sharks
victory was never in doubt as they got on top of
their opponents early and never looked troubled
in their rout. David Bennet was in scintillating
form for the home side and he fed the footy to
Jon Edlich on several occasions who fi nished the
game with fi ve majors. Jimmy Forbes and Joel
Beer were everywhere for the Magpies collecting
disposals at will.
Today: The time has fi nally come and we have
known who is playing who for a long time now.
Swinburne Uni and South Mornington will fi ght
fi rst to determine who goes through to the Grand
Final. It’s hard to read much into last weeks form
but winning form is good form and the Tigers
have been shaky of late so I’m predicting the
Razorbacks to get the job done in a tight tussle.
In the elimination fi nal Eley Park should have the
Bulldogs covered but deciding fi nals can deliver
inspired eff orts. Time will tell whether or not
either of these predictions were on the money.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR 2012
VAFA ELASTOPLAST TRAINER OF THE WEEK
The AJAX football club has received positive feedback on
Lauren throughout the season (from their head physio and
other trainers). It is great to have someone of her caliber on the
training staff .
She is dedicated, motivated and shows great enthusiasm! She
goes out of her way to help others and is always happy to replace
a trainer that pulls out or come to training nights after a busy day
on physio placement.
She is punctual, organised and responsible. Congratulations
Lauren from all at AJAX.
A former TAC Cup and VFL player, David plays as a medium lead
up forward with the fl exibility to push up into the midfi eld.
With exceptional leg speed, a rare ability to read the play and
adept body positioning David is rarely beaten in a one on one
contest. In the fi rst half of the season David was joint leading
goal kicker in Under 19 premier division, before a call up to the
seniors in round 11 vs. Old Xaverians. David played as a wingman/
forward in the seniors and quickly adjusted to the pace of play
often winning contests and marking against larger opponents.
His excellent goal kicking technique see’s David get full reward
for his eff orts, putting scoreboard pressure on the opposition.
In more recent weeks David has again been a key player and
strong on fi eld leader, back in the Under 19 Premier team as it
pushes into fi nals.
A great club man and former student of the college, David is a
quality sharp shooter and is integral to the success of St Bernards
in the under 19 premier division in 2012
* 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.

In Premier A Section Old Trinity and Uni Blues

hold their position in the top four. Trinity and the
Blues had also been level at three quarter time.
Best – Howell, Clarke, Pacconi, Walsh, Butler,
Banfi eld (OT) and Watts, Shaw, Monteith, Toulmin,
Mugavin, Torney (Blues).
In Premier B Section, Old Brighton defeated

New Guineau and were congratulated by the
VAFA Umpires Association.
5 YEARS AGO – 2007
Old Brighton fi nished off a good home and away

in the second semi fi nal. Best – Clark (3), Jakobi,
Talbot, Ainley, Pirrie (7), Perrett (OB) and Cultrera
(6), Hillas, Troon, Ramsden, Pedro, Osborn (OT).
In B Section, AJAX led Old Melburnians for most
of the game in a crucial contest in relation to
relegation. Unfortunately for AJAX they were not
ahead at the fi nal siren (13.17 to 13.19) and were
relegated as a result of the 2-point loss, Beaumaris
being the fortunate team to escape going down.
With both sides missing crucial shots on goal
in the fi nal term, the AJAX boys were gutted.
Best – Paule, Righetti (3), Lawler, Russell, Prouse,
Wilmoth (OM’s) and Lewski, Wollner, Segal, Jankie,

43THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
of fi nals when they demolished Thomastown
21.7 to 10.14 in a polished display in the ordinary
conditions. Their 5 goals into the wind in the

to kick superbly in the windy conditions all day.
Best – Beare (5), Short, Cloke C Jackson, Linford,
Andrews (Comm Bank) and Theodorou, A Fellows,
D Fellows, S Plant, C Plant, Hart (Thomastown).
In D Section, in what had been a most interesting
and competitive seasons for many years,
Hampton Rovers and Old Camberwell could
consider themselves very unlucky to be relegated
as they had won 6 and 5 games respectively.
Hampton were especially disappointed as they
were destined to compete in E Section the
following season for the fi rst time in their history.
Old Camberwell pushed Caulfi eld Grammarians
all the way before succumbing 14.8 to 13.20.
Best – T Royals, B Matthews, G Harrison, Holmes,
Brohier, Boston (CG) and Forwood, Kyriacou,
Burke, Gibbs, Lodge, Beal (OC).

goal kicking with 60 goals.

In C Section Old Camberwell met Coburg in a
match to decide the ‘minor’ premiership and
appropriate ‘bragging’ rights. It was a terrifi c
game with hardly more than 6 points in it all
day. Coburg fi nished the stronger and won 15.13

Purcell, Egan, Graziosi, Wood, Palmer (Coburg)
and D Steven, Loft (3), Rogers, McRae, Jenkins,

place whilst St Pius had to be content with third
place. Best – K Howell, Jamieson, Arnold, M Ware,
Freeman (3), Griffi ths (Parkside). St Pius failed to
lodge their details in time!

when he reached his 150th game for Hampton
Rovers, Chris was a very accomplished player
with both a Club and a Competition Best and
Fairest to his credit in addition to being a VAFA
representative player in 1982. Chris was also a
current Vice President of his Club.
40 YEARS AGO – 1972
It was a real turn up in E Section when ANZ Bank
defeated top team Marcellin Old Collegians 17.13
to 16.5. But even this accomplishment by ANZ

unleashing a fi ve goal last quarter to take the
points. Best – Dancer (7), R A Watson, Male, Green,
Kelly, Jackson (ANZ) and Butler (4), Delmo, Power,

UNDE
R 19
AND THEN THERE
WERE 20
Andrew Leonard
To say that there are still 20 teams left in Under
19 competitions sounds like you could run
another season with each side playing each
other once. Finals are like another season as the
20 sides try to reposition themselves for a tilt at
one of the fi ve premierships up for grabs at U19
level. Injuries and player availability are a major
concern but there is no doubt that the pressure
and commitment of everyone goes up a notch
or three come fi nals time. If you beat a side by 10
goals two weeks ago then forget it this weekend.
You season will be defi ned by what happens over
the next three weeks, not the past 18. After that
little rev-up we better just remind ourselves what
happened in the fi nal round of the season.
U19 Premier – A Black Day
A strange twist of fate saw the top two in the
section line up against each other in the fi nal
round for a spot of shadow boxing before
meeting again the following week in a second
semi-fi nal. De La Salle and Old Xaverians kicked
the dew off Waverly Park before their respective
reserve and senior sides did battle. There was a
point the diff erence at half time but fi ve goals
to two from the visitors in the third was all they
needed with that diff erence being the fi nal
margin at the end. Nick Sharkey kicked a handful
for Old Xavs whilst Sefton McGraw was doing
good things for De La. There was another case of
the draw throwing up a curly one, as St Bernards
(third) played St Bedes/Mentone Tigers (fourth).
Matt Hutchesson kicked four for the Snowpups
and was best on ground for his eff orts. St Bedes/
Mentone will want a better start than giving up a
28 quarter time lead when these two clash next
week. Old Melburnians celebrated the end of their
campaign with a 115 point win over Beaumaris. A
staggering 17 players kicked goals for the OMs
in a brilliant team display. Old Scotch defeated
University Blues at Crawford Oval. The Blues were
fi fth for most of the year but with nothing much
to play for other than pride a fi rst quarter lapse
saw them 35 points down at the fi rst bell. When
the fi nal margin was just 37, it makes you wonder
how many other times a quarter lapse cost them
this year. Uni Blacks won their fi rst game of the
year defeating second bottom Fitzroy in the fi nal
round of the season. The win wasn’t enough to
get them off the bottom but it was enough whet
the appetite of the players over the summer.
U19 Section 2 – Ace in the hole
Beware of the teams that play dead a week out
from the fi nals. At least that is what you would be
telling your side if you were coming up against St
Kevins and Old Brighton – good thing they play
each other then. St Kevins suff ered at the hands
of Werribee Districts with the Tigers putting 18
goals past the Skobbers in their 12 goal win.
Jaxon Cooke kicked four goals with a host of
others getting in on the act as well. St Kevins
will need to bounce back next week if they are
to do any damage in September. Werribee face a
Caulfi eld side in a knock out semi fi nal after the
Fielders had a win of the same magnitude, albeit
against an injury ravaged Old Carey. Nick Tonkin
(6) and Fred Cooper (4) slotted 10 between them
in the 78 point win. Old Haileybury bid farewell to
2012 in style with a 74 point win over Marcellin.
Matt Mitchell bagged seven goals and Mat Shill
2 and a heap of footy for the Bloods. Old Trinity’s
season ended with a spirited 10 point loss to the
ladder leaders Old Brighton. Oscar Fairweather
was great for the OTs, kicking two goals as well,
but Brighton led at every change in the low
scoring contest. Having said that, there is much to
improve on for this week’s semi-fi nal.
The Phantom says: The last round was a bunch
of 10’s for the top sides- Old Brighton just gets
up against Old Trinity by around 10 points and
the Skobbers were beaten by 10 goals plus at
Werribee. It means a very interesting week next
week. Old Brighton have some questions and
St Kevins have a few more? Other results - Old
Haileybury fi nished well over Marcellin and

U19 Section 3 – Following in the footsteps
Ormond thrashed Old Xavs ended the season in
style to record their fourth win of the campaign.
Sam Stait slotted six goals as the Monders piled
on seven goals to two in the fi nal term to win by
68 points. Mazenod ensure they would head into
fi nals with good form with a 56 point win over
St Bernards. Old Camberwell defeated PEGS to
also carry winning form into September. Carey
McLaughlin and Jackson Hrbek found plenty of
footy in the 29 point win. Collegians upset the
apple cart with doubling the scores of Northern
Blues to send a message to the fi nal four. Sam
Hibbins dominated play and kicked four goals
whilst Steve Maidera wasn’t bad either for the
Lions. The loss means Blues give up top spot and
they will need to turn things around when they
face Mazenod in the second semi-fi nal this week.
Collegians will need to win three fi nals to secure
a premiership but with the talent at their disposal
it is not beyond them. Can they take the lead
from their senior side to fi nd a way to September
success?
U19 North – Flirting with form?
Another team that could do some damage from
outside the top two is Old Geelong as they
showed the sort of form that could have them
challenge for a fl ag when they defeated ladder
leaders Ivanhoe by fi ve goals. Ivanhoe may have
been going through the motions but the OGs had
24 scoring shots to the Hoes 14. Williamstown
CYMS didn’t fl irt with their form crushing La
Trobe Uni by 92 points. Four goals each to Matt
Singleton and Ryan Joy were the major scoring
contributions but Yuma Hemphill’s performance
stood out as he also slotted a couple of goals.
La Trobe were the best of the rest and will have
something to build on for next year. Therry Penola
also took no chances in their 161 point demolition
of MHSOB. Brock Egglestone and Jonathon Tonna
both kicked four in the rout.
U19 South
De La Salle held Beaumaris scoreless for three
quarters in a 151 point win. Fortunately for Beauy
their 1.1 was on the board in the fi rst term. An
incredible 19 players kicked a goal in the win for
De La (would love to know if that is a record?). St
Bedes/Mentone Tigers had a 44 point win over
Monash Blues at Brindisi Street. Jordan Young
slotted six goals and Jack Pollard was very good
for the home side whilst Tom Ruddell for Blues
had a fi ne afternoon. Hampton Rovers ran St
Mary’s Salesian close going down by 15 points
at Boss James but they couldn’t stop the Saints’
Nick Alexopoulos who kicked fi ve goals and
was the diff erence between the sides. Peninsula
played out a tense battle exchanging the lead
with Parkdale multiple times throughout the
afternoon before triumphing by 16 points.
These sides could meet again in the fi nals in the
coming weeks but on neutral territory, how much
advantage the Pirates get at home remains to be
seen.

ST BEDES/MENTONE TIGERS
54 THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2012
The VAFAUA’s big Pre-fi nals dinner was held last
Monday night at the MCG Members’ Dining Room
and once again was a resounding success. To
attain a record crowd of over 330 members and
guests was a sensational eff ort by our President
Luke Holmes and his event coordinator Russell
Davidson. The video highlights were a great hit
and had the crowd in stitches at times. The crowd
was also entertained by Collingwood player Luke
Ball who no doubt gained some insight into the
umpiring world.
As well as the guest speaker being a highlight, our
major awards for 2012 were presented as follows:
Golden Whistle Award (provided by the AFL and
is presented as an encouragement award to an
umpire who is identifi ed as having the potential
to umpire at the highest level.) – Matthew
Dervan (goal).
Most Improved Field Umpire – Sean Scully
junior.
Most Improved Boundary Umpire – Mitchell
Jones.
Most Improved Goal Umpire – Ray Stokes.
Young Achiever Award (presented to an umpire
under the age of 20 who regularly attends training
and meetings, shows improvement throughout
the year and mixes well with the umpiring group.)
– fi eld umpire Nathan Morton .
Best First Year Umpire (presented to a fi rst year
umpire who has natural umpiring ability, a desire
to learn and a commitment to the umpiring
group.) – This year we had a tie between fi eld
umpire Ben La Vale and boundary umpire Leigh
Saunders.
Andy Carrick Award (presented to a member of
the VAFA Umpires Association who does not reach
the higher sections but still performs admirably
each week throughout the season in the spirit of
the late and great loveable rogue Andy Carrick) –
Paul Tuppen.
UMPI
RES Steve McCarthy & Cam Davidson
AND THE WINNER IS…Bob Dunstan Award (This award is named in
honour of Mr Robert Dunstan OAM who is a Life
Member of the VAFA Umpires Association and
umpired over 800 games in the VAFA. The award
is presented to a member of the VAFA Umpires
Association who provides exceptional service to
the Association – Wayne Hinton .
Commitment to the VAFAUA Award – John
Bradford from our Werribee group.
This year we had no nominations for Life
Membership.
A fantastic night when the VAFAUA puts itself on
show - now for the fi nals!!
Wet track
After a horrendous few weeks weather-wise it
was fantastic to be back on dry hard grounds
last weekend. This would also refer to car parks,
just ask Jayson Nooy who had a little wet track
issue at Mazenod’s Central Reserve a few weeks
ago. On arrival at the ground he parked his fully
sick Commodore on a grassed area only to fi nd
that the wheels were spinning and he wasn’t
going anywhere fast. He had a game of footy to
umpire so he had to leave it there. But after the
game, a big thank you to to eight or so Mazenod
players (already covered in mud from playing)
who banded together to wrench the car free. Not
sure if he adjusted the votes to ensure those boys
were looked after.
Harris Family Butchers
Don’t forget our sponsors who always do a
sensational job in supplying our barby meat at
our functions and meetings. Go down and visit
them at 73 Mackie Road East Bentleigh and
they’ll look after you.
Personal Mortgage Managers
For all your buying and selling needs in the real
estate world, enlist the help of long-time sponsor

The curtain fell on another successful Club XVIII
season with the playing of the two Sectional
Grand Finals last Sunday at Sportscover Arena.
The ground was in excellent condition despite
the recent monsoonal rains that Melbourne has
experienced.
In Section 1, Old Xaverians regained the
premiership cup which they had surrendered to
De La Salle in 2011, with a convincing 64 point
win over Old Melburnians. The Xaverians have
built an enviable record in this competition with
sixteen premiership victories since 1992. This was
their twentieth Grand Final appearance since
1992. Their single blemish was in 2009 when they
fi nished fourth.
The Xaverians set up their 2012 success when
they held Old Melburnians scoreless in the fi rst
quarter and led by twenty seven points at the
fi rst change. Although inaccuracy in front of goal
marred the Xaverian’s second quarter eff orts,
they led by thirty one points at the long interval.
Old Melburnians rallied in the third quarter and
outscored their opponents whose lead was
trimmed to 27 points at the last change. The last
quarter, despite a hiatus of 8 minutes for injury,
was dominated by Old Xaverians. They held Old
Melburnians scoreless until the last few seconds
while adding another six goals themselves to
build their lead at the fi nal siren over 10 goals. Old
Xaverians become the premiers and champions
of Section 1 in 2012.
Key Old Xaverian forward, James McDonnell
had a day to remember as in addition to his
Premiership medallion, he collected the King –
Landrigan Medal for being named best player in
the Grand Final and the Steve Mason Medal for
being chosen as the Fairest and Best player in the
competition in 2012. Although disappointed with
the result in the Grand Final, Old Melburnians
can be pleased with their overall eff orts in 2012.
There is no doubt that they were the major threat
to Old Xaverians throughout the season.
Old Geelong have competed in the Club
XVIII for over twenty seasons and were fi nally
rewarded with premiership success when they
convincingly outplayed Hawthorn to record a
53 point victory. The opening quarter provided
an even contest with the scores level at the fi rst
change. Inaccuracy prevented a bigger half time
lead for Old Geelong, who went in with a slender
nine point lead. Hawthorn started the second
half with enthusiasm and kept the ball in their
forward line for many minutes. This was a pyrrhic
rally as Hawthorn added a single goal before Old
Geelong regained their momentum and added
four unanswered goals to give themselves a 31
point buff er at three quarter time. In the last
quarter, Hawthorn could muster little resistance
as Old Geelong continued to build their lead until
the fi nal siren sounded to signify Old Geelong’s
fi rst Club XVIII premiership.
Tom Waters of Old Geelong was adjudged best
player in the Grand Final. Another to play well
for the premiers was tall American ruckman Zac
Taylor (like his 19th century namesake the 12th
US President, Zac played like a leader of men), he
consistently won hit outs and marked well around
the ground. It was another disappointing Grand
Final for Hawthorn who enjoyed a successful
season despite losing their second consecutive
Grand Final. Their club received a boost with
two of their players tying for the competition
Fairest and Best player; Nicholas Criticos and
Constantinos Terzoglou congratulations on great
seasons. Raymond Steer from Therry Penola was
presented with his award for being the section’s
leading goal kicker. It is now time for me to lay
down my pen and to read the off erings of my
literary colleagues and to hope our editor will call
me forth in April 2013.
