Many people last weekend asked what happened if amatch was still drawn after extra time was played . TheExecutive discussed this last Monday night and the fol-lowing is to apply when a drawn match occurs in anyVAFA final i .e . senior ; reserve or U19 match.

Extra time shall be played in any drawn match of asenior, reserve or Under 19 final including a GrandFinal .

When the final siren sounds the players will remain onthe field, change ends (without an address from thecoach) and in the meantime the goal umpires willmeet and confirm that the scores are in fact level .Once confirmation is notified to the field umpire, 5minutes plus time on will be played after which thesiren will be sounded . The teams will cross straightover (without an address from the coach) and playanother 5 minutes with time on .

Should the matchscores still be drawnthe above is repeat-ed exactly - that istwo further periods of 5 minutes plus time on i splayed .

If after the twenty (plus) minutes of extra time shouldthe match scores still be drawn, the match will bedeclared a draw and will be replayed the followingweek at a venue and time as directed by the ExecutiveCommittee .

Clubs looking goodl

Monitoring of on-field officials clothing. A greatimprovement has been noted.The following continues to apply:Runners - VAFA approved green top and white shorts ornavy track pants .Trainers - white tops and navy blue track pants . If shortsare to be worn they must only be white .Water carriers -(must not exceed 3 in number) . YellowVAFA approved tops with either navy track pants or whiteshorts .

The assistant duty officer (charged with umpire secu-rity) is responsible for bringing to the attention of theumpires incorrectly attired officials who are to be orderedfrom the field until they are correctly attired . The VAFAduty officer has a number of white shorts with him whichoffending officials will be asked to wear .

Starting times and match durations .It was previously decided to continue with the old A

section reserve match times during the finals of 25 min-utes plus time per quarter . However due to the delay instart ing the senior matches because of this timing ithas been decided to revert to the standard 20 minutesplus time on for each qua rter of an A section reservefinal - same as during home/away season .

Whilst on times, all Grand Finals of reserves match-es will commence at 11 .15 am and senior Grand Finalsat 2 .15 p.m. The reason for this is to give plenty of timebetween the reserves and senior match for presentations.

A SECTIONby Jason Frenke l

t was an emotion-charged weekend at footballgrounds around the state, and not just because o f

the news which filtered through from Paris in th ehour preceding Sunday's first semi-final clash atElsternwick Park. With the likes of Harvey,Pritchard and Langford subject to moving ovationsand rousing farewells at league grounds, that mostelusive of football qualities, 'spirit.' was alive and well,and never more evident in Old Haileybury's magicalcome-from-behind victory over a shell-shockedCollegians.

The contest looked all but over at three-quartertime. The Lions, having kicked with the aid of thebreeze in the third term, had skipped out to a 28point lead at the last change after restricting OldHaileybury to just one behind for the quarter ; theBloods, had they not cracked already, would surelybreak now. Simon Meeehan said later he thought hisplayers did a fairly good job in that third term in con-taining the Lions and giving themselves every chancein the final quarter, but to most, a Bloods revivalseemed unlikely .

As unlikely as it seemed, it all took place incredi-bly quickly. Fantastic goals to Hilton and Baxter inthe space of a minute at the 1 0 :00 minute mark andthe Bloods looked empowered, spirited and desperate .And for about 6 or 7 minutes, the game turned into adesperate, last-man -standing affair as the Lionssensed they were being challenged and the Bloodsrealised they had a chance . Hilton's second for thequarter gave Haileybury the lead and signalled thebeginning of the end for Collegians .

Suddenly the Lions looked defensive, vulnerableand unsure . Capitulation is often swift in the face ofa rampant force, and for some minutes, that's exact-ly what the Bloods were as they piled on 8 .7 for thequarter while keeping the Lions scoreless . Time aftertime Haileybury went forward with little resistance ;the joy among Bloods supporters was almost replacedwith disbelief as the magnitude of the win becameapparent .

No game ever rests on a single move or player butthe switching of Mark Seecuil into the ruck was asclose as you get to a match-winning move . Jeffersonand Hilton played out an excellent duel in the bigman stakes for most of the afternoon with honoursgoing both ways but Seccull gave the Bloods drive inthe final term which they had previously lacked, andfreed up his team-mate to kick two important goals atthe start of the last term.

And for the most part in that final quarter it wasone-way traffic . On the odd occasion the Lions forcedthe ball forward, it was a cool, composed DavidConnell who gathered it first, calmly weighing up

options before feedingthe ball off. Connell'sexcellent defensivework was supportedby Carty's efforts on the dangerous Warne-Smith.The exciting Lions forward was blanketed for most ofthe afternoon by his toey minder and only in the sec-ond quarter, when he was able to contest one out, didWarne-Smith ever threaten to get among the goals.But the Lions did have their winners - that tirelessworkhorse, James Bennett, kept working, battling,trying when others might have given up, Gabe Deane-Johns, fleet of foot and with plenty of dash, threat-ened to ignite the Lions' spark on occasions, andBrooke King was a good target up forward for mostof the day.

Both sides will take a hard-earned rest this week ;unfortunately for the Lions, they won't be fronting upthe week after, but the Bloods must surely take heartfrom the chance to refresh over the next week andprepare for the next step; a grand final berth .

PreviewTheir opponents in next week's preliminary final

is anyone's guess - results over the past weeks haveproven that anything goes in 1997 and the recentform of today's combatants, Old Xaverians and OldScotch, would leave most punters confounded, par-ticularly the Cardinals . Wayne Harmes' charges haveshown themselves to be everything in recent weeks -contenders and pretenders, winners and sinners -but if they are to take one positive thought from theirinconsistent form, its that they have played wellagainst the top sides and performed poorly againstthe lower ones .

Xaverians, too, have been difficult to gauge . Whilethey did enough throughout the year to secure topspot, many believe they have yet to properly hit theirstraps . Will they? Can they?

Xavs' forward line has enough options to troublethe Cardinals defence . With Bourke and Richardsonforming a two-pronged attack, either forward canbreak a side open on his day and with the likes

o Tim Ockleshaw on hand at half-forward with hi silky skills and good goal sense, accomplished

Cardinals defenders Adam Nettleton and StuartGrigg are likely to have their hands full .

Scotch have scoring power of their own . Aujard,Heath and Phillips are more than capable of kickingmajors and the nuggetty on-baller\forward pocketPhil Goldberg has proven to be a handy goalsneak,too . Expect a fantastic clash between two talentedruckmen as Michael Blood takes on Tom Wilson,and one might expect that first use of the ball out o;

the middle will be a telling factor in the outcome ofthis game .

Having said that, much depends on the mood;_otch are in when they take the field ; given thenature of today's game and what lies ahead for thewinner, they should not be anything less than whole-heartedly desperate and totally ferocious.

Xavs have the chance to make it three-in-a-row,and Nick Bourke showed last year that his men cando incredible things at finals time, but the premier-ship defence will get off to a shaky start today as theCardinals come home by 17 points .

B TIby Terry Quirk

In superb conditions, the first semi final attracted ahuge crowd that saw St. Kevins come from 26

points behind late in the third term to score a 19point victory over a very disappointed Ormond side.

REVIEW

As anticipated Ormond started very confidentlywith first use of the ball for most of the quarter butcould not score enough goals at the end of the groundfavoured by the slight breeze. SKOBS' taller playerswere harrassed at every contest as Ormond made itknown that it wanted the ball at ground level and wasintent on delivery of the ball into space with on ballersand centre line players creating many options . Theloss of Sam Gribble early in the match was a crucialblow for SKOBS who seemed to be in disarray for abig part of the second quarter .

Ormond should have just about wrapped thegame up in the second quarter with much possessionparticularly by Block, Collins an d Gilmore but fourvery costly misses from fairly easy shots enabled theMoods to hold a slender half time . The clash in theruck between 'Dream Teamers' in Paul McDonaldand Marcus Olive was a highlight with honoursabout even until McDonald was forced from theground before half time with a leg injury . WithOrmond already at a height disadvantage AnthonyTurner and Craig Symes were called upon to com-pete against SKOBS' tall timber.

The Hart Foundation went to work at half timewith Jim Macey taking over at the centre bounce andMark Brady moving into the centre to curb the run ofMark Horsfield . The game suddenly swung the wayof Ormond who kicked five goals to race to a 26 pointlead at the start of time on . The Ormond supporterswere doing handstands whilst some SKOBS' support-ers were looking forward to next year . Goals in timeon to Ryan an d Gargano left Ormond with a handy13 point lead but Greg Healy would have been mostdispleased with the effort of his charges in "turbotime" which allowed the SKOBS back into the contest .The move of Warren Keighran onto the ball was alsopaying dividends for the SKOBS .

The loss of Anthony Turner for 15 minutes at thestart of the last quarter was a cruel blow for Ormond.With Brady on fire, the SKOBS kicked two goals intwo minutes to bridge the gap then called on the run-ners in "Huddo" an d the "Boss" to send the ball for-ward on numerous occasions to Gross an d Ryan whowere now well on top . Paul Joy and Craig Fraserwere tireless in their efforts to lift Ormond for anoth-

er charge but the con-fidence of St . Kevinswas sky high aftergoals to Andrew Ha rtan d Gargano appeared to seal the issue . Greg Heai3gave full credit to his players after the match-for theiexcellent efforts in a year of re-building for the ClubThe Hart Foundation rejoiced as another step wa,taken on the journey to the 1997 goal .

PREVIEW

The big guns are out today as Old Brighton take

on MHSOB for the second time in three weeks . Iwould be a very brave man to select the High Schocboys against the team that has held top spot anbeen the form side for the 1997 season . The conditions will be important as will Old Brighton's ability tutilise the vast spaces of Elsternwick ParkMelbourne High will be confident of success herafter its effort last time against the OB's with severzplayers missing . This will be a great contest whicwill be decided by the ability of the defences of hotsides to close down the big marking forwards and thsuccess or failures to succeed in manning up the rurning players . IT select Old Brighton by 8 points inmatch where much is at stake for both sides .

RESERVES

Therry Penola's season came to an abrupt e nlast week as Old Brighton powered away early theburied Therry in a third quarter landslide . Todaymatch between St. Kevins an d arch rivals Ormonshould be a beauty . The last time these sides meOrmond scored convincingly in the blustery condtions and have certainly been the form side over ifpast six weeks. The big ground will test both sidtwith St . Kevins centre line and on ballers being relicupon to use the vast spaces and run with the baAgain a difficult one to select but SKOBS may be beter equipped to handle the big ground and shouprevail by 14 points .

Second Semi-Final ReviewSeniors

C SECTIONby Russell Gould

I \]I o rth Old Boys advanced to next weeks 'C' Section~ Grand Final after a come from behind victory overSt Bedes/Mentone at Sandringham last week .

It was indeed a game of two very distinct halves, agame dominated by both teams at varying stages dur-ing the match, but the NOB's managed to do more withtheir dominance and took the game by 32 points .

The first quarter was fairly even, the match had notyet been taken control of by either side, and with Northup by a goal at the first break a close game looked like-ly .

In the second quarter however the Tigers tookabsolute control and threatened to cause a blowout .Steve McCarthy took over in the middle, continuallypushing the ball forward from the ruck, and when hedidn't push it forward it was helped there by Marinicand Lannan. The Tigers were dominating and turnedthat dominance into scoring opportunities that werecapitalised on . They kicked 11 goals to 2 to take a veryhandy 36 point lead into the long break and with rainclouds gathering it was looking good for them.

But the rain never came, except that is a storm ofgoals from North Old Boys, who in the second half tookthe control from the Tigers . On-ballers the likes ofManassa started to get the ball for North. They workedit forward and with the Tigers looking a bit flat aftersuch a big second quarter. North pegged back the mar-gin and went into the final break just a kick behind.

In the round 16 clash between these two sidesNorth pegged back a 20 point lead the Tigers held in thethird quarter to win, and with this looming largely intheir minds, the Tiger fans would have been wary of arepeat performance .

The Tigers needed the first goal if they were to takethe ascendancy from the NOB's, but as per Round 16,it didn't happen . North proceeded to beat the Tigers tothe ball, control the play, and pile on enough goals, thesealers from the all-taped-up Boyle, to take the gameand enjoy a week off before the Grand Final, safe in theknowledge that their stay in 'C' Section would be knownonly as a very short one .

The Tigers can take solace only in the fact that theywere able to kick eleven goals in a quarter against ateam who otherwise controlled the game . The Tigerslooked unstoppable in that second term, but just couldnot keep it going. North on the other hand failed topanic in the face of adversity, and were as professional,as you can be in amateur football, and did all the thingsyou need to do to win.

ReservesSt Bedes/Mentone Tigers v. North Old Boys

This was a clash of the two teams clearly the bes t

6

throughout the year.They had managed todispose of teams insuch a fashion tha tthey both looked to be sure winners . But on this dathere had to be a loser, and after going through arentire season undefeated, you would probably not havtsuggested it would have been the Tigers . But it was .

In a game that really failed to live up to it's expectations, North managed to want the ball just that little bimore and converted more of their scoring opportunitiesThat is not to say it wasn't close, The Tigers were in iup until the end, but in the last quarter it was on thEscoreboard alone .

North managed to out scramble the Tigers, and goover the line by what ended up being a very comfortabld21 points .

So North have both teams in their respective Gran(Finals, and a week off to watch their opponents .

Preliminary FinalSeniorsSt . Bedes/Mentone Tigers v . Marcellin

This will surely prove to be a daunting task for thiTigers . Marcellin are entering yet another preliminarfinal and will be so keen to win they could literalf,intimidate the Tigers out of the game . But I don't thinlthey will be able to .

The Tigers know they have the capability to putwinning score on the board, and defend it for most othe game, and if they are fair dinkum about this final,series, they will have to want to defend it for the wholigame .

Marcellin have the drive after a good win in the firstsemi, where they just fell over the line in some of thiworst conditions we have seen all year . Their big gun ;fired that day and that is what you need if you are tiwin the fmals . Their defence and running abilities antheir keys to victory. They allowed an average of just i(goals a game to their opponents during the season, an(in attack averaged 18. If they can find a couple of extrathey will go that little bit better .

The Tigers averaged just under 22 goals a game hattack, getting a lot of drive from a defence that allowe(13 goals a game, They could have the edge thereMarcellm not having as potent an attack which shoukenable that drive from the Tiger's backline to continue

But I think it will go the same way as last week, thabeing whichever teams' mid-field is able to control thidirection of the play for the majority of the game shoulcprove the winners . And the Tigers slight edge in attaclsways my thinking towards them as the winner.

It will be a close one, but if the Tigers can kick 1 :goals in a quarter against the premiership favourites,sustained performance should get them home .

6% THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 199

i

Mentone Tigers v. Monash BluesTo go on regular season performances, you would

say that the Tigers look home . They beat the blues con-vincingly twice during the season and after a loss likelast week would be breathing fire . But a straight set exitlast year by the Tigers gives the Blues a slight sniff .They were not bad in defeating Marcellin, althoughoutscored in all but one quarter, and a week off couldbe a help . But the Tigers were the benchmark all year,and it is a very hard ask to win every game and a flag,- 3 I think they will come out this week and do what theynave to, to earn a re-match with the NOB's next week .

r n near perfect conditions a large crowd witnessedtwo exceptional games of football . Congratulation s

to the Beaumaris club who are bound for `C' Sectionin 1998 . Although the results in the seniors appearone sided, at the orange break the sides were lockedtogether at 73 pis a piece . The display by both seniorsides was a pleasure to watch. For three quarters nei-ther team could break loose and establish a lead asthe conditions and excellent Mazenod ground(Central Reserve) lent itself to a fast skilful game . Theten goal last quarter by Beaumaris was champagnefootball.

REVIEW OF LAST WEEKS 2ND SEMI FINAL .

ReservesIn the Reserves match played between

Whitefriars and Old Geelong a superior reservesside in OGS showed their opponents what finals foot-ball was all about . They played a very high standardof football and were first to the loose ball and made ita contest at every opportunity. Old Geelong extendedtheir lead steadily during each quarter and theParkside contingent watching from the stands wouldhave been fairly concerned as they tried to note thebest players from both sides for their next two games .OGS had winners all over the field and Whitefriarswho play Parkside today will need to lift their workrate and recognise that finals football is another stepup (as is the Grand Final if they make it past today) .Last Saturday too many Friars were prepared to waitfor the ball rather than run to a contest a problem Iam sure their coaching staff will be aware of .

SeniorsIn the Senior game 10 minutes went by before a

goal was scored with Old Geelong attacking con-stantly but being unable to get a major on the board .A thrust forward by Beaumaris saw Salisbury swoopon the ball and kick the first from a left foot snap onthe half forward line . The contest began. For threequarters the sides fought to break free from theiropponents with Old Geelong appearing to have aslight edge on the field but not able to get clear on thescore board. During the second quarter OGS openedup a handy lead only to be reeled in by Beaumariswho trailed by 7 pis at the long break . The third quar-ter saw OGS attack as they had 65% of the play butcould not convert missing easy and set shots to bothsides of the big sticks . Three quarter time saw thegame dead level and no indication of what was aboutto happen . The Sharks who had been struggling a lit-tle to get their free flow game going suddenly hit theirstraps. The forward line clicked and the backs turned

every OGS attack into a rebound scoring opportunity .In the space of 15 minutes Beaumaris had securedthe promotion to C Section and sent OGS off to dobattle with Whitefriars in the Preliminary final. Thebest player on the field was Salisbury who kicked 8goals and assisted in others with Sherman, Pitts,and Nicholson consistent four quarter performers .PREVIEWS OF TODAY'S GAMES .Reserves

In the reserves Parkside take on Whitefiiars whowould be extremely disappointed with their game lastweek . The Devils will be hard to toss as they workhard at making it to every contest the main area thatbeat Whitefriars last week . I feel Parkside may causeWhitefriars day to start on a sad note as the Devilsmove to the Grand Final.

SeniorsOld Geelong meet Whitefriars today with both

sides having won an encounter against the other thisseason . Old Geelong will be very disappointed afterthe last quarter last week and their inability to con-vert their many forward thrusts . Whitefriars whomanaged to just roll Parkside in the worst conditionsfor the year two weeks ago would have been thankfulfor the weeks rest and watched the senior game lastweek with interest from the Mazenod stand. Bothsides relegated from C at the end of the 1996 seasonwill be keen to first return to C Section and then havea crack at the flag and Beaumaris in next weeksGrand Final . OGS appear to have an edge over theFriars around the ground whilst the Friars have anedge on the ball . Both will rely on their respective for-wards in Howells and Robinson to get a bag full andcap off the efforts of their midfielders . I predict OGSwill get up by 2 goals in what promises to be anotheroutstanding game in the annals of D Section for1997 .

The Season in ReviewPART 1 OF THE 97 REVIEW.

Reviewing the performance of teams in D Sectionthis week with the top five next week.

Old Camberwell - did not have enough tall timberaround the ground and appeared to lack fitness bynot being able to run out games that they had achance to win . Will need to recruit 6 - 8 Senior play-ers to lift their skill level or may suffer in E Section in1998 where I predict at this stage they will finishbetween 4th and 7th . (Rating 57% )

'f~ M TNC AAAATCIIO Cl1f1TQAI i CO 1 no1

Caulfield - appeared to play defensive footballconcentrating on game plans instead of the basics . Alittle underdone in the talls department and lost outradly with injuries to some of their best, they canlook forward to a fairly good 98 if they work hard inthe off season. Will be a strong E Section Club .(Rating 65% )

St Johns - Lack the concentration required toplay four quarters and are not as fit as other sides .Need to recruit a mobile CHB and some runningskilled onballers to free up players being played out ofposition. Concentration and fitness will enhancebadly needed on field discipline. Will finish 4th to 8thin D Section . (Rating 67% )

Salesian - Have consolidated in D Section and willagain be 4th to 8th in that section next year if theycan retain their players . Need a bigger ground to suittheir style of play and allow freedom for their runners .A tall ruckman and backup would be handy to allowoptions for some other players . Will continue toimprove if they work on their present policy over sum-mer. (72% )

Aquinas - Came with a rush at the end of the sea-son after a disappointing start. Good influx of U19'sthis year and if repeated next year will see a blend ofyouth and experience . Their prospects look fairlybright and if they can resolve their home groundissue the Club will improve through concentrating onon-field rather than off-field issues . '98 should seethem 4th to 9th in D Section. (74%)

E EAST SECTIONby Barry Hickey

~'he big day has arrived once more and the two mostworthy clubs do battle for this years honours .

Every best wish to Yarra Valley OB's an d Kew for whatshould be a fitting climax to a great year of footy .

THE PRELIMINARIE SSENIOR

Old Carey succumbed to a more purposeful, andbetter directed Kew in a magnificent game last week .Robe rt Bayley won the strategies battle with his fourman half back set up . and it worked a treat, causingvacillation and confusion amongst the C's own backsleading them into persisting with an indirect, shortdefensive tactic, bringing them undone time and again.Even so, the C's sheer talent nearly won the day, butwhile they were running on strongly at the finish, itwas all too late . In almost ideal conditions, the gameopened at a furious pace, and stayed that way all day.Kew had the better of the first term, but as they so fre-quently did in the H&A rounds, squandered chancesby sloppy finishing . May be it was the finals tensionbecause the C's weren't any better their end . Kew dom-inated the first 25 minutes, but let the C's backs inwith 3 goals in time on . Kew were losing the centrebounce knocks, but winning the midfield clearances,and their backs shut Addo and Hedgie out of thegame . Cullen an d Lafranchi were prominent for Kew,with Bruce Cohen, Vas, Simon Wood and Dino Faelispicking up disposals for the C's . The 2nd term startedwith a Kew flurry, leading to a good mark and goal byJ . Barnes . Then the C's hit their straps and rammedthrough 7 goals in 14 minutes, with Addo kicking 4,and Hedgie creating many chances by getting hardballs out to teammates . The C's took a 19 point leadinto half time and looked like winners . This all changedin the 3rd term, which Kew made their own . By scor-ing 7.3 to 1 .2 Kew virtually wrapped up a berth in thegrand final, with Dimasi, Harrison, Pulverenti an dCullen running rings around the disarrayed C's, andG reg Porte taking telling marks in the forward line.Kew had turned a 19 point deficit into a similar advan-tage by dominating the centre clearances, and havingtheir half backs and centres streaming into the forwardline, smothering the C's feeble clearance attempts . Totheir credit, the C's regrouped in the last term,outscoring their opponents, but Kew had judged theirrun nicely and were able to weather the storm. fullmarks to Robert Bayley, he stuck to a strategy that hadfailed twice against the C's during the year, but in thegame that counted, it worked . For Kew, Ric Pulverenti(6 goals), Cable Hope on his wing, Jamie Bell, thewandering CHB, Stewie Harrison in the forward line,and B rian Cullen on the ball, were all standouts. Forthe C's, Chad Esler, rucking. Matt Cohen round theflanks, Simon Wood with his great marking, ChrisAngus's pace and beautiful disposal, Dino Faelis'sdashes and smothers at half back, an d Michael

Addison up forward,gave their best. A mag-nificent game, with avery deserving victor.

RESERVESWhat a game this was to start the day. The C's

whipped on 3 goals in the first few minutes of the open-ing term, then Kew came back to within 10 points . Thesecond term was a goal for goal affair with the defenceson top, but the C's clung to an 8 point lead at the longbreak . Kew came out with a 6 goal third quarter, andPresident Andrew Barnes kicking them from every-where. Kew looked in command starting the last withan 18 point break in a backlines dominated game. Acontroversial end to the third quarter, when the C'shad a point disallowed after the umpire recognised thesiren with the ball in the air, it rolled over the point lineuntouched, but was deemed to be dead after hittingthe ground . Don't know about that one Ump!!! The 4tt ;was a thriller. The C's slowly pulled Kew back, a

n early into time on hit the front by a goal. A minutelater, and Kew kicked the equaliser. Extra time had tcbe played, and what about that disallowed point to thfC's? The first 5 minutes saw Kew inch ahead by 4points . Then right at the death knock a great snalfrom 15 metres out by Ian Cohen gave victory to thfC's . Matt Dalrymple at CHB was terrific for Kew, sctoo Justin Po rt er, and Robe rt Bruni, with an hon .ourable mention to Andrew Barnes. For the C's, And}Drever played a blinder, Matt Curry appeared to bfeverywhere, Rowan Bardwell controlled the middkagain, Ian Cohen was strong on the ball, and oncEagain, if there was a pack, there was Simon Jackson

GRAND FINALSENIORS

At least I can write without bias about this gamein which I had hoped the C's to be participating . Suclwas not to be, and the two best sides of 1997, YamValley and Kew, take the field to decide the flag . Lethere be clement weather for this match, it should be ~ripper. The Bush Rangers will endeavour to blitz theiopponents early, with their super leg speed and snappy disposal. As it was last week, this will be a contesbet-veen breakneck pace and football nous, with victory going to the team that holds its nerve to the endBoth sides rely on their half backs and on-ballenswamoing the opposition defence, the Bush Rangersby a line of runners, and Kew more with long penetrating kicks . There was only 15 points between thenin their last encounter out at Domeney Reserve, an(for much of the game there won't be any more todayKew showed steely resolve when under pressunagainst the C's last week, and if they can repeat thaeffort they will be hard to beat in a tight finish. I thin]though, that this is the year of the Bushranger, anthey will take the flag, and the medals, by 3 / 4 goals

RESERVESYarra Valley meet the surprising Old Carey in th e

early game. The C's Ressies have had an up and downyear, but seem to be playing on at the right end of sea-son. Yarra, on the other hand, have hardly put a footwrong, and though pressed by Kew in the 2nd semi,must be favoured to win this encounter. TheBushrangers are the younger combination, whereasthe C's have a coterie of more mature campaigners aswell as plenty of pacy youth . Their will only be a fewpoints in this game either way, and I feel the C's willprevail in a very high standard start to the day .

~

Old Carey players Matt 'Jacko' Jones, and Brian'DJ' Humphrey play their 100th and 50th games inthe Black, Gold and Blue today. Two of the real char-acters round the club, avid trainers, active socialisers,who give their all on the field, well done Jacko & DJ.

E CENTRALby Mick

The fickle nature of football came to the fore lastweekend when the red hot premiership favourite

bowed out of the race in straight sets under the pres-sure of injury and an unexpectedly committed anddisciplined opponent . Commiserations to all atWilliamstown who, for a second year in a row, put asplendid home and away season together withoutreward.

Preliminary Final Review

With fine weather predicted and the playingsurface a picture Wi lliamstown went in quietlyconfident despite injury worries and the absence oftheir skipper. Everything appeared to be going toplan early with the CY's looking confident up for-ward and able to move the ball through the centreat will with Featherstone on fire . But, just as Willilooked set to go on their merry way. NorthBrunswick were able to get back in touch, morethrough hard work than anything else with MooseMalkoun tough at the ball. In the second stanzathe same pattern was repeated with theNortherners slipping further behind before aninspirational goal by Dave Ellis and a strong finalfew minutes took them to the main break in a pos-itive frame of mind despite a 25 point deficit . Thecomplexion of the game changed markedly in thesecond half, with Mick Sorletto using his pace asNorth began to move the ball more quickly andeasily out of defence . They set up a series of for-ward thrusts that brought De Morton andTirchett into the game with, Williamstown coachAlan Elliott apparently powerless to stop therevival . At the final change the margin had nar-rowed to less than 2 goals and the momentum hadshifted firmly to the underdogs . North coach CraigFox was growing more confident and simplifiedthe forward set up with his two big guns given freerange within the fifty . The move paid dividendswith skipper De Mo rton the difference in the homestretch despite the best efforts of Dean Macleodwho led the CY's resistance across half back andprovided the desperately needed rebound that histeam mates were unable to capitalise on . The comefrom behind win prompted emotional scenes in theNorth box with an emotional coach Fox wrapped inthe application his side showed after struggling formuch of the first half.

In the ressies there was more disappointmentfor Williamstown who lost the chance for onemore crack at Blacks . The victorious Reds puttogether their best performance of the year lead byCaptain rilimo and the experienced Farrell andAtkin . Bond, Bubnic an d Menhennet were best

for the CY's withTwisty their onlyeffective fonvard des-pite being dragged upthe ground to find theball .

Grand Final Preview

The big question that will be answered today twhether North Brunswick played their grand finalast week or will they be able to repeat that performance and avenge their '95 grand final loss? As ithe premiership isn't motivation enough only thwinner will be promoted with both grand finalistin E East already guaranteed a birth in D in 199ENorth will have to play at or above their best fathe year to knock off the rested Uni Blacks outfi,who will have done their homework on thPreliminary final performance . The rest and thdepth at Uni are hard to go past as decisive factorin the game with no single player crucial to thperformance of the students and a plethora of forward options making it hard to restrict them tolosing score. North, on the other hand, will relheavily on De Morton and Tirchett to kick theyinto contention and it will be up to the coachinstaff to come up with some innovative optionsthose two fail to fire . The game promises to bphysical and played at a blistering pace, condtions permitting . Despite head to head hono

u being even between these sides in '97, the consi :tency and overall fitness of the Blacks are enougfor me to go with them to hang on for an 8 poirwin .

In the early game the Black's corresponderalready has his team mates pencilled in for a°pack" of premierships and it's hard to go past th~record given the failure of all comers to get pa :the Blacks to date . The Blacks have the matcwinners in Dooley, Howe and "Buckets" Lowand should run out 40 point winners over theRed cousins who have had a red hot go this finacampaign . The most interest will be with MUFstalwart Jack Clancy and where his loyaltie

s lie given a long association with the Blacks and hown perl,)rmances for the Reds in their (and hisalad day.; . At least one person can't lose!

Thanks again to everyone who contribut eto this column during the year especially Ithose who copped a bit of stick and best of lusfor today and the season to come.

& Tom Brain

W ll, after 21 weeks it has dawned upon us, yes thee'Grand Final' . The very best of wishes are extend-

ed to all the participating clubs and their players and offi-cials . Let us spare a thought for those guys amongst thecompeting clubs who have for whatever the reason,missed selection in the 'big one . Success unfortunatelycomes at a price we're not talking about injury, whilst thatmight hurt, the one that causes match committees themost grief is the selection on the criteria of'tearri balanceor just that little bit more of natural talent and ability atthe expense of loyalty . There is no definitive answer and itis a perennial problem, however it's a problem that manyother clubs would openly welcome. Personally, havingbeen through the mill ourselves at both ends of the spec-trum we can only urge the players to eat the 'humble pieand support your club and your teammates to the hilt .Remember, you have been an integral part of your club'ssuccess to this point in time and will be today! From aclub point of view it must be remembered that GrandFinals are won on Grand Final day, nothing else, howev~er in reality Premierships are won, way back in aboutJanuary or February when you have embarked uponselection strategies and manpower . From both Tom andmyself, thank you all for the year past and may thebest team win on the day!

REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY FINALSENIORS

St Pat's Mentone hit the ground running andremained a totally committed unit throughout the day,much to Peninsula's despair. The Pirates in their ownright were very tenacious and deserve special mentionand praise for sticking to their 'guns. At days end the'Vultures' had run their race and welcomed the final sirento finish 13 points ahead of a rampaging Peninsula.Another stanza and the result may well have been differ-ent. However, footy spans four quarters and not five andSt Pat's rightfully deserve their shot at Southbank for thePremiership honours .

St Pat's had the Pirates off a'bit' early and by the firstbreak the writing was very much on the wall . Peninsulawere being forced into a situation whereby they were re-active rather than pro-active . The game was torn apartmid way through the second quarter when a successionof unanswered St Pat's goals allowed them to take a 5 goallead into the long interval. At stages of the third andfourth quarters the Patters extended this lead to as muchas 7 goals before being reined in by the determinedPirates. As mentioned previously, the 'bell' sounded pre-maturely for Peninsula and not before time for St Pats,however nothing can detract from the quality of thePatters victory. Best for St Pat's were Sebire, Wise andDavies and for Peninsula Dentry, Sharpin and Bedford .

It would be remiss of us not to pay special mention toPeninsula. A proud and strong club who this year under-

id

went some not so subtle internal surgery and who haveemerged a better, bigger and we believe stronger club,albeit without the ultimate prize. We congratulate all theirplayers and officials, especiaIly President, Allan Angusand Senior Coach, Brett McIItwraith on setting theirgoals and striving to achieve them. Good fortune isn't fararound the corner for the Pirates .

RESERVESSouthbank and their opponents Peninsula staged a

real 'ding-dong, 'rip-snorter first half that kept all thesupporters on their toes. After weathering the storm theBankers finally settled into their stride and graduallyexerted their superiority over the enthusiastic Pirates . Thewinning margin of 41 points didn't give credence to theefforts of the Peninsula guys but it did all the sameunderline the strength of Southbank and gives rise to theopinion that the second semi final loss was more of ablessing than anything. MVP's for the Pirates wereBowman, Bonner and Barclay and for the Bankers,Macca, Coggo and Robbo.

PREVIEWSENIORS

We're on a bashing to nothing today . Any praise forSouthbank will by viewed as biased opinion and likewiseof St Pats will be seen to be condescending . Anyway, whccares, our remuneration is such that weve just gotta sa}it as it is? Weve got the pen, you ain't so cop this lot !

The very best two teams on performances this yea meet to decide the Premier team of 1997. It's a level play,

ing field and no excuses can or will be extended by eitherArgument can be made that on the 'lau/ of averages thcPatters are due to knock off Southbank whilst thfreverse is that records are made to be broken and wh3can't the Bankers keep rolling on?

The strengths of both camps are well documentedmiserly defences, prolific scoring forwards, big and stronleffective followers and on-ballers and free flowing midfielders. They've both got the lot . Then where does on(gair the ascendancy ?

Our belief is that Southbank holds the key in twcareas:- the ability to match-up better on key players; and- the extra weeks break to recuperate from injury an(stress .

St Pat's have been fast out of the blocks throughouthe finals and the Bankers will need to be wary of givin!away any starts . The Patters are tenacious and definitel .,not a team that will hand over a lead without one helluv,,'dog fight. The Bankers have earned a reputation thi

M THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 199

year of just 'grinding away and going on with the job' .With the weeks rest in the bag, Southbank will have noexcuse not to be full of running and with a full contingentto select from we're 'gunna' shoot from the hip and selectthe Bankers to win a 'ripper' by the narrow margin of 7points . Fair dinkum, good luck to both teams !

We both really hope it isn t that close as were gettingon in years and our hearts, the Brain's especially may notbe able to cope with the strain .RESERVES

Southbank having won the right to meet Oakleigh inthe 'big one, take into the match terrific form, notwith-standing the one blemish two weeks ago in the secondsemi against the Krushers. Oakleigh have every right to beoptimistic of their chances given that their finals squad issupported by some very handy 1's players . That in itself isa very crucial point, as it was the lack of those types ofplayers that brought about the Bankers demise . As weresure the Krushers brains trust? over the fence last weekwitnessed, the Southbank team took on a vastly differentlook and the resultant win came as no surprise . KB and

UMPIRES CORNERby Leah Gallagher

and Peter Simpson

`~r six teams today, this is the only game worth1~ playing and at the end of the day when the victorsare celebrating there will be another team who wearwhite that the day will be of mixed emotions, elation ofa grand final appointment and the disappointment (orelation again) that the season is over. To all teams intoday's Grand Finals we at Umpi res' Corner wishevery one the best in their quests .

MARKING THE BALL 8 .08.1 A mark is catching the ball directly from the kickof another player, no less than 10 metres distant, theball being held a reasonable time and not having beentouched in transit from kick to catch .8.1 .1 A mark shall be awarded to a player who .cross-es the boundary line from the playing field but controlsthe ball before it has passed completely over theboundary line . If the field umpire is in doubt he/sheshould consult the boundary umpire .8 .1 .2 A mark shall be allowed when the ball is caughtand controlled on the goal, behind or boundary line .8 .1 .3 A mark will be awarded where a ball in flightstrikes an umpire, or any other authorised official orreplaced player.8.2 When a player takes a mark or is given a free kick,an opponent is permitted to stand on the mark or spotwhere this occurrence took place .8 .2.1 Only one opponent may stand on a player'smark .8.2 .2 No other player is allowed within a corridorwhich extends from five metres either side of the markto five metres either side of, and a five metre radiusbehind the player with the ball . This corridor is knownas the ten metre protected area.8 .2.3 In the event of an opponent encroaching over themark when a player is kicking for goal and a goal iskicked, the field umpire shall give the 'all clear' and thegoal is registered. If a goal has not been kicked, theplayer shall be given the option of another kick, andthe mark advanced 25 metres .

When you umpire in the low grades and have noofficial goal umpires all year it's a blessing to finallyhave them around. Just remember Dirk Kramer and

GeorgeGiorasthey goout withyou at the start of the game and they should be in posi-tion when the game is started !

Will wonders never cease!! For those who didn'tturn up to the Annual General Meeting because youhate long meetings you will be surprised to know thatthis one lasted a grand total of 14 minutes, which leftheaps of time to drink plenty of fluids after a hardnight's training . From the meeting came the new officebearers for season 1998.

President: Wayne Hinton, Vice President : ColinSegota, Secretary : Richard Eastwood, Assistant See:John Kelly, Social Secretary: Chris Stevens (S),Ordina ry Members: Mark Bushfield, Leah Gallagher .

There are two positions vacant - that of the trea-surer and assistant treasurer. If anyone is interestedplease see the Executive committee .

Also from the meeting the Woody Award to KenWalker.

The White Wacker is given for this fine effort: PaulTuppen, keen to impress, gets to his game earlySaturday morning, changes into his gear, walks into ateam's room, checks the boots of the players, has achat to players, goes back to the umpires' room andthen realises that he is due to umpire the next day onSunday.

Into the semi finals of the bounce off:G. Thwaites v. R. EastwoodK . Segota v. W. Hinton

SOCIAL NOTE SThe President has announced that his fridge is

open on 13th Septembe r, so come on down and cleanthe fridge out .

Also the Pub Run is on $ 10 down the sock and thebest trigger point of the year, up to the "Wick' on the18th September.

Only a couple more Saturdays to go, keep runningguys .

COACHES' CLIPBOARDAFCANAFA

Coaching ® Whom listen to?~oughout the last (15) years, I've constantly won-

dered about the best way a coach or cricket cap-tain can obtain the best result from his players . (Theterm best result - is difficult to deflne succinctly and isgreatly determined by Committee expectations . Is it thehighest number of wins in a year? Or is the prepara-tion for something further ahead? Finals? Next Year? )

And not many coaches would back themselves tobe the all-knowing, always-correct interpreter of themany things that happen in football. So given that thecoach relies on external people to assist him, whomdoes he listen to? How does he sort the "wheat fromthe chaff? How does he take that external advice anduse it for the betterment of his Club ?

Let's take a common Saturday. During the game,other coaching assistants and Chairmen of Selectorsoffer advice . When do you take that and when do youignore it? After the game, Committeemen, supporters,players, parents opposition players and supporters,are all available to discuss the game .

But for every coach when he gets to his isolationand thinks of the worrying tasks at hand, he must beable to find inner peace . And it is at these times thatyou must have a clear understanding of:1) what you like to see in a game (eg. accountable

football v. non-accountable)2) what you think are the main ingredients for suc-

cess (eg. one %ers, long kicking, intensive train-ing)

3) what positions/instructions/training you thinkare best for your team . (eg . best tall in ruck or fullforward, disciplining 25 mt penalties, your reac-tion to low numbers at training, risk one of yourgood, solid players after injury or start him in the2's )

I like the term "what you like" as "goalposts" .My first two goalposts have been developed from

my experiences with four outstandingly good men :

Allan Olle (SKOB coach 76-78), Bernie Sheehy alltime football guru; Bernie Dunn - the best possession-style coach and methodologist outside AFL and NeilBuazard - the epitome of preparation, determination tosud&ed and ongoing adaptability to "current" thinkingon the modern athlete .

However, it is probably the third goalpost thatcoaches tend to spend most of their time on. And hereis you big choice. Whom do you listen to? MatchCommittee only? Or do you avail yourself of all theadvice from committeemen, parents, ex-AFL acquain-tances, ex-Club Champions, supporters, VAFA offi-cials . . . . . . . . . . . and on and on .

Personally, although Bernie Sheehy probablythinks "I'm too constructive", I tend to listen to nearlyeveryone . As well, I'm very lucky to have John Tooheyas my assistant this year. We both feel comfortablewith each other, we laugh a fair bit, he's terrific withthe players and he's a good watcher of all importantaspects of our play .

But a coach at the end of the day/ end of a set peri-od, must feel comfortable with himself that he hastaken enough of the advice/ear bashings and exploredall reasonable avenues to attain the best result - asdefined by yourself and the Committee.

And as coach (with a sacking only four lossesaway!) it's obviously politically important to have thePresident and Committee understanding and comfort-able with all the match committee thinking and also tohave their feedback and historical viewpoint on rele-vant issues.

So good luck with all your listening . Some pearls ofwisdom could well be in that next idle conversation .

Hope your team wins today.Peter HannanSenior Coac h

U19 SECTIONby Brett Connel l

No second chances after today .

Review - Second Semi-Final sSection 1

~n fine conditions and magnificent playing facilities atTrinity playing fields Bulleen the two powerhouses of

the VAFA competition of the last couple of years battledit out for the right of direct entry into the Grand Final,and after a solid start the Blues never looked back .Leading comfortably at quarter time the Blues added(15) goals to (5) to run out convincing winners andprove my prediction of Xavs being favourites asnowhere near the mark . With Kordick, Sturrock,Johnson and Terrill in fine form the Blues were neverreally threatened after the first break and with Cammand Christie on target up forward the Xavs were pow-erless to stop the Blues machine . Better Xavs on theday were Deane-Johns, Conno lly and Webb, withDillon and Ireland being their only multiple goalkick-ers .

Section 2In a tight match between two very evenly matched

teams Coll egians and Whitefriars fought out a highlyentertaining match at Trinity playing fields as a cur-tain-raiser to the Section 1 match . After an even firsthalf the Friars defence led by Winterburn an d Croughwas on top, while the Lions had fine players inChampion and Moon. In the second half the trendcontinued with players obviously aware of what was atstake for the winner. The Lions fought back from a halftime deficit to hold a slender lead at the final break .However with Baxter, Clark, Hosking an d Byrneexerting their influence on the game the Lions steadiedthe better to book a place in the Section (2) Grand Finalnext week . Other better players for the Friars wereTreyvaud, Walsh, Hilton and Winch .

Section (2) BlueOrmond opened up with all guns blazing against

Premiership favourites St . Bedes Mentone Tigers andalthough the scoreboard was not a true indication, theMoods could well have been in with a chance had theykicked more accurately. However with Kingwell up for-ward booting (8) and onballers Ryan and Wintle tak-ing control the Moods could only manage (9) goals to(15) in the remaining three quarters to finish second onthe day . The Tigers were dominant in many positionshowever Conno lly an d Serofm stood out, while for theMonds Naughton, Broadhurst and Dale were promi-nent, along with never-say-die players in Brown,Stasiak and Gleeson.

Section (2) RedOld Trinity proved my tipping was well off the

mark with a compre-hensive victory overladder leader Yarra '"Valley at Scammel lReserve last Saturday. Leading by (5) goals at quartertime while keeping the Valley goalless, the OT's wereabout to slip into gear and they did . With Medlin andGrelg (5) up forward on fire the OT's looked ominous,and with Shaughnessy, Jones, Hall an d Passador atdominiating the writing was on the wall for the Valle}early in the piece . They added another (15) goals to thFValleys (11) to win comfortably in the finish. YarnValley were best served by a solid team perfomanceand will be looking forward to today's game with StLeos Emmaus to make sure that they get the opportunity to have another crack at the OT's on Grand FinaDay.

Previews - PreliminaryFinalsSection 1

Reigning Premiers Old Xaverians face ObParadians in today's do or die preliminary final at thTed Ajani Reserve . The score stands at (1) win apiecand both by similar margins, with the more recenresult being in favour of the Xavs by a healthy WEpoints . Hilbert, McGuigan, Barrett and the Carrousehave been prominent for the Xavs in the clashes tdate and will no doubt be watched closely by the OP' :who have been equally as well, served by LynchVecchio, Ventura and Boyd. Both teams score witease and boast solid mid-fielders and attacking baellines . The match itself like any preliminary final will ba hard tough affair with my leaning towards the reigrtug premiers by a whisker.

Selection : Old XaveriansSection 2

Much like Section 1 the results of previous mateles played during 1997 between Whitefriars and 01Scotch sees both teams with (1) win each, and very litle separating each team from the other. Players sueas Junkeer and Frankenburg have stood out in pamatches against the Friars, as to have Winch anBeattie been prominent for the Friars. Add to ifequation players of the calibre of Sullivan, Northeand Winterburn (Whitefriars) and H awkins, Groiand Hanneman (Old Scotch) and the game should Ia beauty from go to whoa. With the winner deservirthe right to challenge Collegians for the pennant neweek both sides will be pumped up to gain the asce :dancy and lead from the start, in what promises to 1a very skilful game of football . In a toss up given tleveness of the two teams the Friars should get tlpoints narrowly .

THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 1f

Selection: WhitefriarsSection ( 2) Blue

Ormond must firstly dispose of an in-form AJAXteam before it looks ahead to clash with the Tigers nextweek, and with Czarny, Golvin an d Segal in-form forthe Jackas this match should go right down to thewire. The Jackas have improved steadily since the sec-ond half of the year, and although the scoreline thisyear stands at (2) (0) in the Monds favour finals are adifferent kettle of fish . While the Jackas will rely heav-ily on Blashki, Sloane an d Waisman, the Monds havekey players in Robbins, Black, Naughton andWonnacott, add to this Ashford, Cull en, Stephensan d Pasara and in most positions the Monds shouldhold the edge. In what I predict will be another fine dis-play of U 19 finals football the Monds will get the pointsby (3) majors .

Selection : OrmondSection (2) Red

Yarra Valley on the rebound face the form side ofthe section St . Leos Emmaus who came storming intofinal's contention in the second half of the season . Thewins stand at (1) each with the most recent victorygoing to the Two Blues in early August . Yarra Valleywill be looking to Thompson, Mcilraith, Coleman an dSearle, while the Two Blues prime movers in Devlin,Willis, McClusky and Cashen will be relied upon onceagain to get the ball rolling . Overall nothing separateseither team on paper and it will no doubt come downto which team settles first in this cut throat final . TheValley have been steady all season but over the lastmonth have faltered somewhat, while the Two Blueshave been strong winners more regularly and I favourthem to advance to the Grand Final next week againstOld trinity.
