What do the Blacks side who would be ruing a couple of easy goals given Coaches do??? – play ducks and away from point kick ins. Josh Dickerson played a great game drakes and rest a few who are carrying little niggles or play to keep Savige quiet. Pat Phelan was terrific, the Edge’s were them all and go out and try and gain the ascendancy over their splendid, Mr Magic was irresistible and Nick Perry did some opponent. Bragging rights and top spot on the ladder also at pretty handy inconspicuous work. Blacks defenders Dan the end of the line at 4.30.

To use that old football parlance we are just taking it one week And so to the University where a simple equation “win” and at a time and that is what Stevie Wright told me last Saturday you are “in” confronts both sides. The Fields have collected a Night as he started his preparation for the big game against Collegians. The situation a win would keep them alive a loss and they were doomed. A 4 goal to zip second quarter set the McKINNON ball rolling for the Fields as they took control of the game and SPORTS MEDICINE just did not allow the Lions to get a look in.

The Oggers did suffer a case of the wobbles Carey prevailed over a young Banyule combination to win by for a while back around the three quarter season stage, but 105 points at R J Brockwell Oval. A useful tune up for the have recovered well to take the other double chance position. minor premiers saw Tim Angus bag seven, Pete Tiras kick five, I predict that Al Parton will start forward, in the early stages at Tow Howgate and Ryan Mullins do well in midfield, Stu Jessup least anyway, by either Al Munro or Steve Lansdell. Nic impress down back, and Pete Unkles continue his strong form Casboult and Colby O'Brien have the potential to wreak havoc in the ruck. in the Oggers forward line, but the likes of Chris Battle and Stu Jessop will ensure things won't be one way traffic. At Domeney Reserve, a 69 point win to Yarra Valley Old Boys Luke Maslin has been fantastic for the Panthers since his early over Therry Penola, coupled with results elsewhere, ensured season arrival from Northern Bullants and combines well with the Bushrangers of D1 finals football. The Lions can be Collins to provide as good a one-two midfield punch as any encouraged by the performances of youngsters Matt Reynolds team at this level, but look for Bayles to bring his own brand and Jarrod Hanlon as they look to keep their start of- and end of magic to the table for the Hoops. of season form going throughout the middle of the season in Both teams have strong claims as to why they should win, and 2007. it was only three weeks ago that the Oggers scored a At Ted Ajani Reserve, Rupertswood scored a massive 86 point win over home side Bulleen Templestowe, sending the Bullants tumbling from second spot to fifth spot and out of the McKINNON finals in the process, allowing Rupo to claim fourth spot and SPORTS MEDICINE to fight another day.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 18 JOSH MADDEN (ST BERNARDS) St Bernard’s utility Josh Madden is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 18 after another sterling performance against Old Melburnians last Saturday. Josh has had a stellar season averaging over 30 possessions per game. This is backing up from winning the club best and fairest in his debut season last year. Josh stands at 6’4” in the old measurement yet has the ability to cover ground with ease. His ability to read the play, take big grabs and hit the ground running sets him apart from other players in the competition. Josh has played rep footy for the under 23’s in both seasons and is sure to be a prominent player in the VAFA as he endeavours to bring St Bernard’s back into the four and in the hunt for a premiership in the next couple of seasons.
