(--I hould a club wish to contribute towards the costs of(1) the coverage of finals matches by paving either$100 or $200, grand finals tapes will also includethe presentation ceremonies where the premiershipcup and individual premiership medallions are pre-sented to each player of the winning team.

It is felt that this will be an added attraction toclubs, players and supporters lodging orders with theVAFA for a cop_v of a tape . Each tape includes the wholematch with full commentary and as stated the presen-tation ceremony in full .

A participating club must agree though to con-tribute towards the costs to a) have access to a tape ofthe match and b) to then have the abilitv to order mul-tiple copies of the match tape .

The payment of $ 100 entitles the club to one tapeand any number of extra tapes at $20 each, whilst a$200 payment automatically entitles the club to 10match tapes .

UNDER 19 BEST ON GROUND MEDALLION SIn a team sport winning a premiership is what it's

all about. However for the last five vears the best on theground in the A section grand final is awarded the"Jock" Nelson Medal. The Executive this year hasexpanded this concept to include the Under 19 sec-tions .

The best players on the ground in the followinggrand finals will be awarded the follotiving :

Under 19 section 1- The Alex Johnson Medal

Under 19 section 2 - The John Miles MedalUnder 19 Blue section - The John Simpson

Medal

Under 19 Red section - The Max Lyon MedalAt the conclusion of each final the VAFA appointed

duty officer will confer with the umpires to decide onthe winner and this will be conveyed to the person afterwhom the medal has been named to enable him to pre-sent his medal .

It is hoped to expand this further in the future toinclude other senior sections of the VAFA .

LOSING IS NOT EASY.Most of us are able to be both jubilant in victory

yet gracious enough toacknowledge the feel-ings of the losin gteam .

As the loser in any PHIL STEVENScontest it is often CHIEF EXECUTIVEexcruciatingly hard to OFFICER"grin and bear it" .

Everyone understands how hard this is, but inAmateur football, one of the unwritten requirementsis for a losing team to remain on the ground whilst thewinning team is given both a premiership cup and pre-miership medallions . Unfortunately last weekend acouple of clubs were not able to demonstrate this levelof sportsmanship and vacated the arena as soon asthey could .

Hopefully this weekend and next weekend, losingclubs and tivinning clubs can demonstrate all thosequalities that make most of us think Amateur footballis something pretty special.

VOTE COUNT NIGHT.

On Monday night the final three rounds of votes foreach of the senior sections will be counted at theCarlton Crest Hotel. Each club's leading vote earnerhas been invited and many close finishes are assured .

Other presentations will be made on Mondaynight to - the major winner of the guit SmokefreeClub Awards: the best and fairest players in the ClubXVIII and Under 19 competitions : each winner of eachsection's leading goalkicking competition : the BladesChampionship Club ; the Quit Most Disciplined Under19 team . The goal of the year and the mark of theyear will be shown as captured by our Sportscover /Channel 31 team from games covered and videos sub-mitted by clubs .

A tape of the highlights of the Vote Count Eveningcan be ordered through the VAFA - each tape costsS20 .

We hope to provide an entertainment package dur-ing the evening as well .

GOOD LUCK to all teams in grand finals todayand to the A and B section preliminary finalistswho will meet for the right to meet Marcellin (B)and Old Xaverians (A) in next weekend's grandfinals .

It was a strangely subdue affair: the skills from

both sides were of the highest standard, but theatmosphere was clearly lacking for an A-section sec-

Xaverians' methodical approach and shee rProfes

Cardinals forward line could prove to be a real hewache for Garry Foulds .

Wayne Harmes might find himself similarly troibled by the array of options in front of goals for tl

the latter capable of turning a match inside out .

Despite Vassallo's good form early last Saturday,a seven goal to three second term by Xavs put St

St . Bernards - congratulations to GaryMathewes on recently playing his 200th game. Garyis our current Reserves Captain and a fine clubmanover many years . From all at St . Bernards Well done .

MARCELLIN V. OLD IVANHOE, SECOND SEMI

FINAL, ELSTERNWICK PAR K

The Second Semi Final saw Marcellin grab a placein the Grand Final and in A Section next year with

a fighting win over Old Ivanhoe . The game saw bothside have patches of dominance, with one breakingaway only to be reeled back in by their opponents .

Marcellin started well kicking with the wind andcontrolled the play in the first quarter . But the Eagleswere unable to translate possession into scores .However by the end of the quarter they had two goalson the board and had kept Old Ivanhoe goalless .

As the second quarter progressed it appeared thatMarcellin were running away with the game as theykicked the first three of the quarter, taking a five goallead . Marson and Caffrey were providing an avenue togoal and Cox and Waters were breaking up the playwith their hard running.

But Old Ivanhoe with a place in the Grand Final atstake lifted and found plenty in the second half of thequarter. They kicked the next four, with Lochran andShadboldt both kicking clever goals and their midfieldof Haros and Donaldson starting to find more of theball .

Their ruck/centre half forward combination of J .Weddle and Hope also started to fire moving the ballfrom the ruck contest and providing marking targetsaround the ground. By the time the half time sirensounded the two sides were still locked together withMarcellin holding a slender five point lead .

Old Ivanhoe picked up where they had left in thethird quarter and added another two goals to hit thefront for the first time in the game . Old Ivanhoe'sdependable back line led by Kent was able to quietenMarcellin's spearhead Treganowen and the signs werelooking positive for Old Ivanhoe .

But again, the game saw a slight shift in momen-tum with Marcellin scoring twice in the third quarter toregain the lead.

With their noses in front and having countered OldIvanhoe's surge . Marcellin's midfielders in Cox, Watersand Dinneen continued to run and create scoringopportunities . The quarter saw both sides add twogoals and the game still hung in the balance .

Perhaps the defining moment of the game came latein the quarter. Old Ivanhoe had worked the ball for-ward and had created what appeared to be a certaingoal . But Marcellin's Moran in an inspired chase andtackle mowed down his Old Ivanhoe opponent . The ballrebounded and Marcellin kicked the winning goal .

OLD TRINITY V.OLD IVANHOE,PRELIMINARY FINAL

Old Ivanhoe liv eagain in the Preliminary Final but the cost of the lo;last week is high as they meet the Elsternwick Patspecialists Old Trinity.

Old Trinity confounded the students of form wiltheir display a fortnight ago against North Old Bo,when they got over the line in a high quality clash .

Old Trinity obviously enjoy the spacesElsternwick Park and their skilful possession orient2ed game play is better suited to the kinder Septembconditions .

The keys up forward are Stickland at full forwaand Heath . In the midfield they have a numberoptions including Allibon, Burrows, Andrews aiKennedy. Ramsden is a handful for the opposition r.just in the ruck contest but also with his ability t

o out in defence or sneak forward as a goal scor ioption . However Old Ivanhoe are also strong in truck and can use either Weddle or Hope in the ruand will no doubt throw all of them at Ramsden o)the day . Old Ivanhoe's success this year has bebased around a game plan that centres on reboundithe ball out of the backline into a open forward lineup . Kent and R . Weddle hold down the key defensposts and runners such as Jenkins. Veal and Youinitiate many fonvard thrusts off the half back line .

The problem for Old Ivanhoe might not be hmany goals they concede, but how many they can kiIn good conditions on the large EP oval it is unlikthat Old Ivanhoe will be able to keep Old Trinity's

s ing options quiet all day and on that basis Old Tri rshould be able to kick a winning score .

Old Trinity by 23 points .

t is a bit hard to write the column this week as the en«Prinrr mv face is hindering mv vision . Yes egg 1

You see I twice picked against the Rovers in tnis tmalsseries, and twice they have won . Congratulations tothem on firstly their victory, and secondly on makingthe Grand Final, and 'B' section for season '99 . Aftertheir 'D' Section flag in 1995, they had a couple of verylean seasons, and in particular last year when they onlyjust managed to stave off relegation . And when I sayjust I mean just . They finished the regular season withjust 5 wins, equal with Monash Blues, but a percentagebreak of 18% saw them remain in 'C' section for thisseason . This year they won 11 matches, an increase ofmore than 100% and they have now made the jump tothe next level. That is a feat that should not be under- .

stated . and credit must go to all at their club who haveturned it around this year and made the absolute mostof their finals opportunities, forcing a lot of sceptics tothink again. To Old Mentonians, another finals seriesdefeat should prove a spur for season '99, although Iam sure that is a long way from their thoughts .However credit to them on a fine season, and to AdamAcreman for booting 100 goals .

Preliminary Final Review - Old Mentonians vHampton Rovers

On a perfect day for football it was Hampton Roverswho opened up impressively against Old Mentonianslast week at the Beach Oval (soon to become the TrevorBarker Oval) . Solley and Brooks were prominent for thePanthers . while the Andersons (Drew and Stephen)were providing their forwards with plenty of opportuni-ties. Power (HR) and Stroud (OM) reaping the rewards .At the half it was the Rovers by 3 points . with the allimportant "premiership" quarter to prove the Panthersdeath knell. While keeping the Panthers goalless theRovers added 4 themselves with Browne, Parkinsonand Blick coming to the fore . Youngsters Palmer andStephen worked tirelessly and showed that they will begood senior performers in the years to come, whileWhitford too kept the Panthers within striking distancealthough some 28 points in arrears . The final quarterwas tense with both sides attacking at every opportuni-ty. unfortunately for the Panthers Acreman could notbreak free and with the Rovers fonaard line on songthey added 3 to the Panthers 5 to advance to the GrandFinal against the Sharks and gain promotion for 1999 .

Rese rv es - Old Geelong v Beaumaris

In a thrilling match from go to whoa the Oggers fin-ished the stronger booting 5 second half goals to 4 topinch a I point victory over the Sharks . Straighter kick-ing by the Sharks could well have seen them advance tochallenge the Tigers today, however this was not to be .

Grand Final Preview - Beaumaris v Hampton Rover

After 18 games, three finals, and a lot of traini rsessions, it has come down to this . Two teams are le

noon . Who will it be ? I think it will be Beaumaris,a here I will tell you why. In their two regular seas(

encounters, the Sharks twice defeated the Rovers, f¢up by 34 points, and second time round a more covincing 72 points. On both occasions the Sharks maforwards kicked more than two goals each, whilst thidefence both times limited the Rovers to just 10 athen 11 goals . In their two finals to date, the Rovehave managed just 6( granted in ordinary condition :and then again that 11 goals, from what is a good fward line at best. The Sharks forward line on the otthand is very good . Mahmoud, Mills, Vance, and anumber of other players can, and have kicked goalsBeauy this year, and their season average of 21 goper game is the best evidence of a very potent offenAdam Power threatened early in the year to be agoalkicker for the Rovers, but he has struggled insecond half of the year and if he doesn't kick lotsgoals . neither do the Rovers. I think he is too flashy <is easily stopped by a quality defender, of whichSharks have a couple to choose from .

The mid-field battle though should prove an intriing one . Neither team has a ruckman who will win evcontest, take 7 or eight marks around the ground . ~get 15 possessions . Every ball up and throw in will tchance affair. Whichever of the onball brigade readsball best will be the initiator of the next play, rather ta ruckman delivering the ball perfectly to his roMurray Pitts is the Sharks most prolific ball getter,was injured in the first final, a shoulder or arm it Nso whether he is at his best remains to be seen .Rovers have Stephen Anderson and their skipper 'Mckellar around the packs . one usually feeding toother, a long kick forward the result of the by play .

Reserves Grand Final - St .Bedes Mentone Tigers vOld Geelong

1998 has been a good year for the Tigers . All threesenior teams made the finals, the Seniors and Under19's though falling short of the Grand Final, and theReserves are looking to repeat their success of'97 . Outto stop them are arch rivals Old Geelong, their Reservestheir only finals participants . their only flag hope . Thismatch is a repeat of the second semi fmal, won com-fortably by the Tigers . the margin just under 9 goals .This however is the Grand Final, and if last year is any-thing to go by . the result is far from decided. It was lastyear the Tigers were defeated by their eventual GrandFinal opponents in their first final, then having to facea cut-throat preliminary final to make the big one . It isthe threat of bowing out and losing your chance thatcan propel you to victory one week later. This year it isthe Oggers who have had to do that . And a more cut-throat final than last year theirs proved to be. Theymanaged a I point victory in their preliminary final andso come in to this weeks match knowing all too wellwhat it takes to win . The Tigers had the week off, anx-ious in the knowledge that their chance was coming,comforted by the fact they had been their before, andprevailed . This contest will not be one won by smartermatch-ups, crisp skilis, or even intelligent coaching.This will be won by the team that doesn't break underthe pressure. It will be on from the start . Bodies will becrunching in to each other at a constant rate, each con-test more trying than the other as both teams attemp tograb the upperhand. Mental and physical exhaustioncome in to play a lot earlier in a grand final than in anyother game, and it is the team that better handles thisthat will win . In their last contest, the Tigers were calm.executed well, and were on top early. and the Oggersnever recovered . For all their emotion, they were justnot up to the Tigers on that day . And sadly for them, I'mnot sure this day will be any different. The Tigers knowhow to win a Grand Final . Last year they got on topearly, and won . If they can do that again this year, theOggers will not catch them, and that is the way I seethis one going . The verdict, Tigers by 25 points .

Review - Preliminary Final (September 5)Reserves - Ajax V Southban k

Ajax advanced to the Grand Final courtesy of agallant and gritty performance over an equally res-olute Southbank . It was an extremely low scoring anddefensive game with very little separating the teamsthroughout the day. At 3 qtr time, leading by only 3points and defending against a strong breeze . the'Jackas' hopes looked forlorn to say the least . To adegree, Southbank may have thought the wind woulddo it for them, but this would surely be understatingthe supreme effort the 'Jaekas' raised in the term . Thegame concluded in controversy over a mark takenright on the siren in front of goal by a Southbank for-ward . I'm sure a replay would vindicate the umpiresdecision to not pay the 'grab' . This was only one 'if or'but' situation throughout an absorbing game and itwould be grossly unfair to hinge the result on it . Thegame was there for the taking by the 'Bankers' andthey failed to capitalise on their chances whilst Ajax,especially in the last stanza grasped theirs . Well doneto both teams on a fine performance throughout theentire season, not just Saturday gone, and best of luckto Ajax in the OF .

Seniors - Southbank V AjaxDisappointing that one of the clubs lost out in

what was keen rivalry throughout season '98. Ajaxwent into the game with 6 changes and several play-ers carrying injuries . Mind you, they weren't RobinsonCrusoe in that matter. The 'Jackas' bad luck contin-ued early on in the game when Blashki and JeremyWrobel collided in a freak accident resulting in the lat-ter being stretchered from the ground . Ajax settleddown well given the circumstances and got their run-ning game going to snag a string of goals together tohold a commanding qtr time lead . Southbank failed tomake any great impression through the 2nd stanzaand at the long break. trailing by 23 pts looked dispir-ited and to all intents and purposes out of the contest .A different Southbank took to the field in the 3rd qtrand by flooding the Ajax forward zone and in turn lift-. . ., . . . _ _ _ .._ _ _ . . ._tt . . «_ . ..... ..... ..a 1. . . . .i . t7~ 10 .. .7

KB/TBThe 'Jackas'deserved more than their poor finish aftesuch a courageous season, but full credit tSouthbank who go into the GF full of running anconfidence . Best for Ajax were Halphen and Kalinslin defence whilst up forward Rosen and Freund batled hard all day . Jason Wrobel and Blashki did weon the ball whilst Gelbart and Weisler showed sonsigns of form . For the victors . Hodgson was a grancontributor all dav all with Lancie Van Loon, KiWaiford . Robt .

Preview (Grand Final) - September 1 2

Rese rves - Whitefri ars V Ajax - (KB) The playirstocks at the 'Jackas' are decimated at present arcertainly not helped out by last weeks tough and hagames against Southbank. Whilst Ajax may be itposition to drop back a few senior list players, tl'Friars' can have an open slather policy at selection Ivirtue of having both senior teams in the grand fin

a Added to this is the bonus of a weeks rest and the pschological advantage of having defeated Ajax in t :2nd semi final . If the game was only scheduled forqtr's I'd give the 'Jackas' a real chance, however theqtr duration will suit the 'Friars' admirably and I cofidentlv select them to be victorious by 30 pts . ITYou really KB are in an inspired mode this weekeiKenny, all your reasoning is perfect so who am Idisagree .

Seniors - Whitefri ars V Southbank - (KB) Ydon't need to be an Einstein to fathom it out that t'Friars' have it all set up for them. En masseMordialloc last week the Whitefriars contingent mihave been giggling to themselves as they witnessed thard slog between the 'Bankers' and the 'JackeMinor Premiers . a weeks rest in hand and you havitext book recipe for a grand final victory. Not neosarily so says old KB (wise one as we know), consicthe following :

(i) Whitefriars have contested only 1'hard' matin about 4 weeks : (ii) Southbank are without doumatch hardened, confident and free of any pressur e____« ,.. ._,., .. ..t.,. .,,. . ., ..A r. ; ;t 6, rr,t,,,rl 7r Linlv 9F1 rt

tested between these 2 teams at 'Yarra' Park .Southbank lost the battle (13 pis) but to all present(excepting Whitefriars personnel) they had gone a verylong way to winning the WAR! If body language countsfor anything, then Southbank players touted that theywouldn't again succumb if there was to be a next time .

Guess what? Next time has arrived . It promises tobe a classic encounter of youth and exuberance ver-sus experience and strength . Don't be surprised if itdevelops into a Tortoise and Hare extravaganza, and ifit does, then the 'Bankers' can have supreme confi-dence in their ability to fight their way back into con-tention following last week's herculian performance .

Southbank will have their hands full in containingthe likes of Robinson, Carrigg and Pawlick up forward,Pasqualotto and Bateman on ball and the 'General'Cam Houston down the back half. Meanwhile the'Friars' will have to contend with a particularly strongmidfield, a miserly defence and a workmanlike attack .

With the greatest of respect to Whitefriars . I've gotto wear my heart on my sleeve and select Southbankto win by the narrowest of margins . 1 pt. (TB) What agreat summation KB not much point me adding anyrubbish to that except to say that I hope the margin isnot as close as 1 point as I don't think that my weakheart could handle it . All your above reasons are cor-rect, it's fitting that Nos . 1 and 2 on the ladder areplaying for the ultimate glory they have been thestandouts and although everything points to a Friarsvictory I'm tipping against those odds and going forSouthbank .

VALE : BRIAN LAUDER

Parkside lost a Champion when Brian Lauderpassed away on Thursday September 3 . Hehad battled a grave illness with great courageand dignity .

Brian joined Parkside in 1954 as a 20 yearold and played full-forward in the C SectionChampion team of that year. In a 250 gamecareer, "Harry" captained Parkside, topped theVAFA goal kicking, and coached the D Sectionreserves Premiership team in 1971 .

Brian made his greatest impression onParkside as President where he led the clubwith great pride and dedication . He joined theVAFA Executive in 1974 and was Manager ofseveral representative teams .

During and (8) year break in Qld, Brianwas thrilled to hear of Parkside's rise to ASection and the extension and renovations ofthe clubrooms .

Upon his return to the club, Brian was thedriving force behind the Parkside FIDA teamand impressed the new generation ofParksiders with his character and commit-ment .

Brian's many friends at Parkside andthroughout the VAFA will treasure their mem-ories of a great clubman and individual .

Deepest sympathy is extended to Brian'sfamily

E SECTION (Blue)by Craig Richardson

rand Final day . well its over CaulfieldGrammarians AFC are the 1998 E Blue pre-

miers and thus have been promoted back into DSection for season 1999 . Along with Caulfield, OldCamberwell , the runners up . having lost the GrandFinal are also on their way back up into D Section .

So do you see the pattern, last year Southbankwere relegated and went straight back up, this yearboth Caulfield and Camberwell who were relegatedhave gone straight back up . Therefore, the rest of ESection we need to improve . 'c'mon teams' lets stopthe trend next year.

In brief, the 1998 season was another success(for most) so well done to Caulfield on beingPremiers, well done to all finalists and well done toall other teams who competed in E Blue and againwith better recruiting, pre-seasons etc . maybe along time E grader will be promoted at the end ofnext season .

THE GRAND FINAL

In a rather timid (quiet) opening both teamsseemed to struggle with the general nerves factor.The ball handling skills were all over the place earlylet alone some of the kicking skills . However, it wasCaulfield who settled down first and managed aminor lead (4 goal breeze) at the quarter time inter-val .

For mine I didn't think Caulfield had done near-ly enough with the wind, but for some reasonCamberwell were struggling with it as well . Again,general poor delivery and some excellent defencecaused most of the turn overs . so come half time,Caulfield who managed a couple against it were stillin there and looking the goods . After the mainbreak . Caulfield again started slowly andCamberwell took advantage of this by posting a fewagainst a softening breeze . However, cool heads pre-vailed and Caulfield through a better forward setupmanaged to steady the ship and come three quartertime had a reasonably handy lead .

Starting the last quarter. I generally thought ifCamberwell could start to hold their marks up for-ward then the minor lead that Caulfield had didn'tgenerally seem to be enough . From the openingbounce though of the last term Caulfield continuedto apply the most pressure and thus put the neces-sary 'runs on the board' . So against achanging/ lessening breeze Caulfield did the major-ity of the attacking in the final stanza and ended up

running out fairlycomfortable winnersby 32 points.

IN THE MAGOO S

As predicted (bad luck Matty and the boys) OldCamberwe ll proved to be too big, too strong andgenerally too fast on the day. However, Caulfieldwho put up a great fight by leading at all 3 changes(only just) unfortunately tired a little and the classof Camberwell came across . In the end OldCamberwell (only one loss) for the year were worthypremiers.

Just a short finishing touch, I thought I wouldattempt to highlight a possible chance from eachclub in the VAFA's Vote Count (Monday week) .

Caulfield Grammarians - D. Anderson, OldCamberwe ll - T. Hardman, Peninsula - C . Landry,Oakleigh - C. Marshall, Chirnside Park - B . Pedler,Power House - S. Craven, Swinbune Uni - J .Dell'Olio. Elsternwick - L . Murphy, Glenhuntly -T. Rossiter, St. Ma rys - B . Frail .

All the best to all over the summer and I hope tosee you all again on the playing fields of the VAFAnext year . Go Pirahna's in '99 .

HIV AND HEPATITIS IN SPORT : THE LEGALISSUES

~j~hat do Hepatitis B and AIDS have to do with~f , foot- ball coaching? Not much you could say .No one you know is HIV-positive or has been diag-nosed with Hepatitis B .

You may already have trainers who don't wearrubber gloves when they treat a bleeding player . Ifyou were vaccinated for Hepatitis B during the firstpanic in the early 1992's, then you are probablydragging your feet about getting booster shots .

So what are the risks of contracting either ofthese diseases through sport?

HIV: HUMAN IMMUNO-DEFICIENCY VIRUS

HIV is not only transmitted sexually. Direct inoc-ulation of infected blood . whether by intravenousdry use, needle stick injuries or. potentially, by bloodcontact injuries between athletes participating insport, can result in infection .

Because HIV initially causes an acute viral ill-ness from which individuals usually recover. fol-lowed by an extended period of years with no furthersymptoms, it is possible for a sportsman to have thedisease and be unaware of it .

It has not been shown that the disease can betransmitted through contact with the sweat or spitof an infected person or through ordinary physicalcontact during sporting events. There is no vaccineavailable, so precautions taken in handling bloodare critical in preventing infection .

HEPATITIS B

Hepatitis B infection can follow two pathways .Acute Hepatitis B infection may be symptomless, orit may cause fever, vomiting, jaundice and othersymptoms which require hospitalisation . However,the death rate is very small, less than one per cent,with most cases becoming non-infectious in three tosix months.

Chronic Hepatitis B may be a symptomlessinfection which progresses insidiously, leading toliver cancer, cirrhosis and other lethal ill nesses .

Hepatitis B infection, like HIV, may be transmit-ted sexually . by direct inoculation of infected bloodor . potentially by blood contact injuries betweencompeting athletes .

It may also be transmitted by splashing body flu-ids, other than blood, on to mucous membranes,such as the eyes . Infection can also occur through

M TNF GMATFI IR F(1(1TRAI I FR 1 00A

relatively minor cases of inoculation through theskin, for example, by sharing razors .

While HIV/AIDS is getting the publicity, it isHepatitis B which is more widespread and more eas-ily transmitted.

THE RISK OF INFECTION

There has been work done on the statistical riskof HIV or Hepatitis B transmission in sport. Whilethis shows the risk is small, it is greatest where ableeding wound from an infected athlete conies intocontact with an open lesion on the skin of an infect-ed athlete/official .

In football, aggressive physical contact is permit-ted by the rules . As a result, injuries will occur thatinvolve blood being shed . Coaches should ensurethat players have blood cleaned away promptly . Thisshould reduce the risk of disease transmission to anuninfected player.

On the basis that it is trainers who specificallytreat all player injuries, it is trainers who are mostat risk .

As there is no requirement for testing of athletesfor either disease, it is sensible to take precautionswhen dealing with blood or treating wounds .Arrange for players, coaching and support staff to bevaccinated against Hepatitis B or have booster shotsto maintain protection. Ensure that trainers areaware of the risk of infection .

The Australian Sports Medicine Federation hasdeveloped an infectious diseases' policy which advo-cates:

- strict personal hygiene- Hepatitis B vaccination where contract is per-

mitte d- Prohibiting sharing of towels, razors, drink con-

tainers and similar items .- Stop bleeding and replace all contaminated

clothing and equipment before participation inthe game is resumed .

THE LEGAL POSITION

The legal position with regard to proof of diseasetransmission in sport is an extremely complex one .Any athlete with an infection has a duty of respon-sible care not to injure other players . But because aplayer may not know he is infectious, there is nosubstitute for taking the above precautions .

~ enes' is the French name for the Italian portof Genoa . 'Genes' also became the name of a

style of trousers worn by Geonese sailors . 'Serge deNimes' was a tough blue sailcloth made in Nimes inSouthern France, it was shortened to 'denim' . LeviStrauss was a Bavarian who emigrated to New Yorkin 1843, joining his brothers in a business supply-ing goods for the California Gold Rush . In the1860's Levi's company starting making theGenoese trousers from the Nimes blue sailcloth,strengthening them with brass horse-harness riv-ets at the pockets and seams . So, a German immi-grant, using French material, and Italian styling,invented America's gift to the world . 'Blue Jeans' .

Just as any specials' gene pool relies on diversi-ty for successful survival, so do Clubs andAssociations . Have a look at the Kew and Old Careyteam lists, each has Italian, German and Frenchnames, plus Greek, Briton, Angle, Saxon, Norse,and Celt . Richard Evans praised the role of DistrictClubs, such as Kew, emphasising how vital theyare to the secure future of the VAFA. by addingvariation to the Association structure .

Kew have had a magnificent year, three teamsin Grand Finals, promotion for the Seniors, and aFlag for the Reserves . Well done Rob Furlan, andeverybody at Victoria Park Reserve.

Thanks again to John Montgomery and the OldScotch crew for the Camberwell finals, you werejust terrific . Also thanks to Norm Walsh of OakleighAmateurs for our one day at the Scammell .

The field, boundary and goal umpires did theirUmpires Advisors proud . Well done chaps, andBecky.

And special thanks to Richard Evans and IanMunro for their efficient handling of all mattersadministrative throughout the series .

RESERVES GRAND FINALKew grabbed the Flag with both hands right

from the first bounce and never looked like lettingit go . While it was a defence dominated game, thestandard of the football was top shelf. GeorgeBakogiannis at CHF was Kew's star, followed close-ly by Robbie Bruno in midfield, Rowdy Harrison onthe ball, and Nick Peters on a wing . For the C's,Leigh Small's strength and long kicking were inspi-rational . Chris Withington and Jack Farmerworked hard on the ball all day, but the K's werejust too good.

SENIOR GRAND FINALThe C's opening quarter didn't worry the K's .

They reckoned it was a 5 goal wind, so that was asix goal lead . Old Carey did catch their attentionwhen they kicked 7 goals against the wind to Kew's2 goals with it though . Everett, Esler . Campbell,

and Birkill dominat-ed the midfield, andthe C's defence shu tout all but the inim-itable Jamie Bell . Kew had problems with the C'sversatile forward set up, and while they regroupedand did better in the second half it was all too lateEven in the dodgy wind, the C's forwards had theconfidence to go for the hard goals, and mostly ihappened for them. Dean Wood gave a great display of crumbing round the ground, Sam Brun(battled on against spirited opponents . and Jami,Bell played effectively in defence and attack . Th,C's didn't really have a weak link, and the backlines led by Captain and CHB Cam Matthews helia potent attack to an ordinary score ; the midfielders and on-bailers, while curbed a little in the secend half were too mobile for their opposition anthe players mentioned above plus Chris WrighMatt Cohen and Hedgie Hickey were outstandinlFor coach, Glenn Taylor, the day was a triumpihis talented set of youngsters were at their peak ftthe big day of the year. And for the Club, after 1long years, at last a Flag! !

To people such as Howard Bishop, Max and VEvans, John Hands, Erick Dick, James McQuand all those who kept the Club alive in the dreaidark years, last weeks result was a fitting tribut e

So, this scribe mothballs his sadly phthistic t<ents for the year with the heartiest thank?; to P1Stevens . CEO supreme, Sue Anderson, for hadministrative guidance, Brett Connell, the kindeditor, and Angela Giles, for her general excellencand particularly, her patience .

GRAND FINAL REVIEW - MONASH GRYPHONS VHAWTHORN AMATEUR S

FIRST QUARTERMonash won the toss and kicked with the

agency of a stiff breeze which was blowing to theCramer St . end . After the initial frenzy. Monash set-tled the better and with Bennett proving slippery ona HFF had soon established a handy lead . TheGryphons were willing to run to support their teammates and were hard at the footy . With the firstbreak approaching, they led by 5 goals but a lastminute into the wind goal to Stu Avery reduced thedeficit . Even though the breeze was reasonablystrong, the Gryphs would have been pleased withtheir efforts.

SECOND gUARTE RHawthorn started the second quarter strongly

and with a couple of quick goals, the quarter timelead did not seem too insurmountable . TheGryphons rallied however as their star CHB, RobRafaniello, came into his own providing drivethroughout the backline. An against the wind goalby John Blandford helped maintain the Gryphslead until the last few minutes when the elusiveMick O'Brien took the game by the scruff of theneck with a goal himself as well as setting one up .The Hawks managed to get their noses in front attime by a couple of points.

THIRD gUARTERThe Gryphs hit the ground running in the third

quarter and piled on the goals . Grady andHetherington were having an impact in the middlewhilst up forward Healey and Wells were creatingnuisances of themselves . Ten minutes into thequarter the Gryphs led by 5 goals and whilst not outof their reach . the Hawks would have been con-cerned with their position . They really nutted it outfor the rest of the quarter in what would prove to bethe most pivotal time of the game . Shane Parkerwas particularly good as he quelled the dangerousTim Gilchrist . Nonetheless a four goal deficit atthree quarter time in Grand Final means a lot ofhard work was required .

FOURTH gUARTERThe Hawks started exactly how they would have

wanted with a couple of quick goals . They finally hit

the lead at about theten minute mark andwith the wind stillblowing were going tobe hard to catch . The Gryphons continued to appl}the pressure and a tense battle in the midfie

l occurred with neither side willing to concede a r

easy possession . A wayward pass gave the Gryph :an opportunity to surge forward but an absolutfclutch mark by Hawk Grant Broadley managed tcsteady the ship. Two more goals through the agenc,of Paul Barker and Dan Lauletta sealed the gamfor the Hawks .

The Hawks were best served by Stu Avery whispent some time at CHB when his younger brothePhil was injured in a marking contest . Also gooiwere Chris Reed in the centre, Darren Hutchinsoiin the ruck, Nathan Patterson roving, Paul Orcharin defence and Mick O'Brien whose display of skiwas fabulous to watch . For the vanquisheconballer Justin Hetherington was his usual soliself. skipper Lee Wells set up numerous attack:Tank Davev at Full Back and Rob RafanielloCHB .

A great year for both clubs who will be joyed Imake the move back into the salubrious ranks ofsection in a far better state than they were prevously in .

RESERVESWest Brunswick were also able to celebrate

victory when they overwhelmed Eley Park by aboififteen goals. The standard of the game was hi~and after an even first quarter it looked like a clagame was on hand . However, Eley Park stoppeda walk whilst the Westies rolled on and on . Pdoubt Brunswick would have been a great placebe on Saturday night .

Review

Section 1

The Old Paradians started the better of the twoteams, however it was De La Salle who steadied

the better after half time to hold a solid advantage atthe half. Curran and Cosgriff had been prominent upforward, although the D's aerial strength was show-ing out . Bailey . Pedacini and Clancy standing outparticularly. The third term was by far the mostentertaining. Both teams attacked the goals feverish-ly, with the OP's taking the lead mid way through theterm with disciplined running and teamwork . O'Sheaand Talarico doing their utmost. with Richardson .Collins and Szewezyk also doing well . At the lastbreak a small advantage was held by the D's of some4 points. The OP's attacked early to hit the frontalthough a steadier De La Salle team with Forer,O'Donnell and Bonnici dominant, found the spaces totheir liking and maintained their ascendancy toadvance to the Grand Final .

Section 2Poor kicking early could well have seen

Whitefriars throw awav their chances of another shotat Old Scotch when they had booted only 3 goals from13 shots at the half. The more even St . BedesMentone Tigers unit led at both quarter and half

time . The Friars through Winch and O'Meara werebattling hard, while for the Tigers Drury and Ryanwere giving their all . The premiership quarter proveda dour struggle with neither side giving anythingaway, although the Friars did manage to hold theTigers which would eventually set up a barnstormingfinish . Reid, Anderson, and Duffy moved into top gearto add 6 final quarter goals to 2 to avenge their mostrecent defeat by the Tigers. For the gallant Tigers

none tried harder than Mizzi, P. Wintle and Tesoriero .

Section (2) BlueFine conditions and a fast surface greeted both

teams with Hampton Rovers taking advantage ofwhat little breeze there was in their match againstOld Mentonians . Jenkin was prominent up forward,as to was Humphries, with Duddy and Hogan havingan enthralling battle in the ruck . Drinan, Martin andR . Alexander were battling hard for the Panthers butto no avail and with Cripps and Woods (HR) defend-ing stoutly, the Panthers were unable to use the windto their advantage in the second . Wilmott andLandrigan proving headaches up forward for thePanthers as the Rovers held a solid 5 goal advantage

at the half. An even third quarter followed withNorris . Kennedy and Ballantine giving their all for thePanthers however neither team could break away,although Adams was looking dangerous for t

h Rovers as to Crowther. However it was not until th last that the Rovers broke away to assure themselve ;

another crack to MHSOB today .

Section (2) Re dAn even first half prevailed at Bundoora whe

r Old Ivanhoe were looking to win their third conseculive match over Warringal and more importantl}advance to the Grand Final . The Redbacks had man~chances to hold the advantage, however their lack o

accuracy proved costly. On the other hand Davis an(

Logan were on target for OIG . and their lead at th+half although small was enough to springboardstrong (7) goal to (3) second half, and eventuate ingreat win . Sloan, Anderson and Thomson were prominent for the Redbacks, while a "Team Effort" warecorded for OIG (giving nothing away for today) .

Preview

Section 1Third time both Old Xaverians and De La Sail,

will meet for the season today and unfortunately fothe D's 10 goal thumpings both times would suggestodav will not be for the D's. Finals however are dilferent and with their tails up the D's will throw ever\thing they possibly can at the Xavs from the starClancy must start well and kick a bag, while Har

Mercuri. Buick and Aron will again be heavily relieupon to carry the bulk of the load . For the XavOswald may well be the key, with Skidmore, HedfFarrow and Coughlan bound to be fired up to not lfthis one slip . Too good and strong all year the Xauare today to become Premiers and Champions ft1998 .

Selection : Old Xaverians .

Section 2Whitefriars earned the right for another shot

the title that mid-season not many would haiargued would be threatened . Some 4 months on anthe Friars have had to earn their Grand Final spot ithard way, while Old Scotch won through after conpleting a routing of the Friars two weeks ago . HugThomas fired last time they met and booted Imajors . his contribution today will no doubt havebearing on the result, while the Friars . PhaiAnderson, Winch and Setches will need to twatched . Both teams have the ability to boot hul

scores and given fine weather both mid-fields shouldrelish the conditions at Scammell Reserve . Althoughdefeated in the Second-Semi the Friars fought backstrongly last week and will continue on today to takethe premiership .

Selection: Whitefriars

Section ( 2) BlueMHSOB will start red hot favourites after 3 times

this year defeating Hampton Rovers. Two weeks agoin perfect conditions the game opened furiously andit was the High who settled better to pull away in thesecond half and win convincingly . Last week theRovers won a scrappy affair, although their last quar-ter finish was full of running and their field kickingand team work was impressive . Duddy will have ahuge influence on the match, while Adams will needto be watched for his freaky skills . Quon, Andersonand Rehn . combined with Wilmott and Flahive willgive plenty of drive to the Rovers however the Highlook too accomplished . The O'Briens are both drivingforces . while Rodder's pace will prove handy downback . The Taylors are dangerous likewise McCully,Ware . Parker and Simpson who are strong runnersand key play-makers. Overall the High should prevailin a close match .

Selection: MHSOB

Section (2) Re dYarra Valley have taken the advantage in their (3)

previous meetings with Old Ivanhoe 2/l, althoughneither team would concede to be outright favourites .Both possess the ability to score quickly, have fineskills and are the two best teams in the section . If Ihad to select a winner neither would want me toselect them, as my selections have more often thannot in this finals series lost . Willis, Dowd, Brannigan .Brandt and Davis have carried the bulk of the loadthis year for DIG and will need to be on song today,whereas Tyshing, the Reynolds', Lang, Midland andArnot have done likewise for the Valley. Both teamswill approach the game with confidence, with attack-ing football the highlight expected . In a toss of thecoin DIG get my vote .Selection : Old Ivanhoe

IOld Mentonians - congratulations to Wes

Ballantine who last week kicked his 100th goal forthe season . Only the second player to reach this mile-stone all at the club congratulate Wes on a magnifi-cent effort .
