02 www.vfl .com.au Excitement builds for fi rst bounce This weekend’s opening match of the NAB AFL U18 Championships between Vic Country and Vic Metro marks the beginning of an exciting period on the football calendar. One of my fondest football memories is pulling on the Vic Country jumper as a 17-year-old and testing myself against the best young players in the country. While back then it was U17 national carnival, very little has changed in regards to the signifi cant part these games play in the overall talent pathway. The U18 Championships provide AFL clubs with an opportunity to see the best players from around play against one another, and in most cases, perform on grounds used at the elite level. Knowing how a player copes with the added pressure of playing against superior opposition in big matches is increasingly important to recruiters. The Vic Country and Vic Metro squads, which will be trimmed to 40 players following this weekend’s opening match, will no doubt include future stars of the game. So many current AFL Champions fi rst rose to prominence in the National Championships, with countless others going on to make their mark at VFL level. The Country v Metro rivalry has been around for as long as football itself and to see it unfold again as part of Division 1 of the U18 Championships is a sign of the strength of our academy programs, which are supported by Dairy Australia and their Legendairy campaign. Despite neither side winning the Championship in 2014, it proved to be one of our most successful ever. Thirty eight players from the academies in 2014 were selected by an AFL club in the National Draft , headlined by Patrick McCartin (Vic Country) and (Vic Metro) as the fi rst and second pick. While both the Vic Country and Vic Metro squads are eager to end ’s two-year reign as title holders, the focus remains on providing a high performance environment for the best players in the TAC Cup competition and an opportunity to show what they can do on the big stage. This weekend, former Vic Metro player Ben Jolley plays his 200th Peter Jackson VFL match, a milestone that speaks of his commitment and professionalism over a long and decorated career. We congratulate Ben and wish him well in the Seagulls’ clash with Coburg. We also send our best wishes to the Victorian Women’s Football League representatives who will play for Melbourne and the in this Sunday’s AFL Women’s Exhibition match. The game, one of two to be played this season, is great showcase for female football and we are thrilled to see so many VWFL players get an opportunity. Steven Reaper AFL Victoria CEO www.taccup.com.au 03 Ben Jolley will play his 200th VFL game this weekend, in a career that has spanned over a decade

This weekend he will pull on the boots for his 200th VFL “I met with Gotch and Cuz ( and Brendan Curry) game – a major milestone in a competition that has and I just wanted to play football at the highest level so I changed greatly since he started back in 2005. did not consider any other off er.

Each has had an infl uence on his career, but none more so than Peter German. The now Coburg coach taught Jolley about the key aspects of preparation and knowing your opponent. “He came along at that perfect stage of my career when I was 22 and needed to decide whether I was going to be an OK VFL player or really wanted to get the best out of myself,” he said.“I think without a doubt that he was able to open my eyes up to what is really means to be a good consistent hard footballer. “Those lessons I learnt over those four years I will hold dear until I pull on the boots for the last time.” Despite the club claiming the twice, in 2011 and 2014, a VFL premiership still eludes him. While he hopes his dream of captaining a premiership with Williamstown becomes a reality before he fi nishes his time in the VFL, his favourite memory is from 2012; highlighting a defi ning moment for the club and his captaincy. “We got to a point in the year where we were staring down the barrel of not making fi nals so it was do or die for the next 8 weeks facing Port Melbourne, Geelong and virtually every side above us.” “We won eight straight and ended up losing to Port Melbourne in a preliminary fi nal. “For me in my fi rst year as captain and the playing group that we have kept the nucleus of from that period, it gave us the faith that you can achieve good things at this football club if you are willing to work hard for it.

We spoke with a number of people involved in Jolley’s career – here’s what they had to say about the Williamstown captain leading up to his 200th game: His fi rst VFL coach at Bendigo Matthew Knights One of Ben’s great qualities was giving himself to the team. One week you could ask him to be an attacking fi rst possession player and team defender and the next week ask him to take out the opposition’s best midfi elder. Either role Ben would execute to the best of his ability. First coach at Williamstown Brad Gotch I remember Brendan (Curry) telling me about him and said he was on to a really good type that would be there at the club for a long time, and would off er a lot of reliability and consistency he thought, so it was a pretty good identifi cation. Former Williamstown captain Brett Johnson Ben is a class act the way he conducts himself on and off the fi eld, and is a role model for a lot of younger players out there. He will go down as one of the great players that has played for the football club. Former Williamstown coach Peter German In my 21 years of coaching, he is probably the most professional, diligent, honest, hardworking, courageous football that I have coached. At all the state levels I have coach, there are not too many I could put in his category of professionalism and preparation in terms of his body and what he does. Coburg captain Nick Carnell I have a lot of respect for what he has been able to achieve. He is obviously still hunting for that premiership as well, and he is a little bit closer than we are, but what Williamstown has been able to build, he is the catalyst for all that I would imagine. www.taccup.com.au 05 06 www.vfl .com.au Milestone for Coburg’s Clift on Ben Clift on is a VFL survivor. The 25-year-old was the second last player selected on Coburg’s list for the 2008 season, but has since become an important player at the club. This Sunday, the defender will play his 100th senior game for the Lions against Williamstown, highlighting his persistence over eight years in the competition. Clift on played just two senior games in his fi rst season at Coburg, with the club then in an AFL alignment with Richmond. While he also started his second season in the development league, by mid-year had secured a senior berth which he has retained for the majority of the past six years. Clift on is now considered a veteran at Coburg despite being just 25, but is aft er no fanfare for his milestone match. “It is just another game, like the 99 before it,” a modest Clift on said. “I am pretty loyal and honest, so I am happy I am a one club player. “Coburg has been good to me, so hopefully I have been good for it.” While his journey at Coburg began with hopes of a chance at AFL level, once that passed, Clift on remained at the club to continue to play at the highest level possible. “Once I realised the AFL opportunity was not going to happen, it was the players and the “He (German) is exactly what Coburg needed when it went club itself that made me stick around,” he said. standalone as we are so young. “Recently I was contemplating what I was doing with “He had vision and direction, and a stern way of doing it, football, then we (Coburg) were going stand alone, so I which has set us in good stead.” thought I would go around for another two years. Looking back over his 99 games to date, Clift on remembers “For a few years I have been going one more season, fondly playing footy with the likes of , Greg one more season and I suppose the games have kept on Tivendale, Matthew Richardson and despite once being clocking up.” dropped for him, . Before the move to stand alone status, the sometimes One game though stands out, playing a practice game harsh nature of the alignment with Richmond was felt by against captain Gary Ablett, back when Clift on, once selected in the senior side but dropped for the Brownlow Medallist was at Geelong. the return of Ben Cousins from injury. But the alignment had its positives, with Clift on learning “In a practice match I got to line up on Gary Ablett, so that a lot from a variety of coaches including , was a bit of a surprise for myself,” he said.“I didn’t get a Craig McCrae, David Newitt, Adam Potter and Tim Clarke. touch but he only got one in a quarter so I reckon I did alright.” While Rawlings was his favourite with “a good balance between being a coach and your mate,” Clift on believes With his 100th game behind him this weekend, expect to current coach Peter German was the best choice for the see many more from the Coburg ‘veteran’ in the future club moving forward. when he decides ‘just one more season.’ www.taccup.com.au 07 News

Just a stone’s throw, or a couple of drop punts, from the which will pit her against a Bulldogs side comprising venue for the second women’s game later this year at current Melbourne University teammates.

But I won’t be holding back either.” She’ll be familiar with the crowds, too: the memory of the “It’s not game on until we cross that line on the day.” Commonwealth Games podium where she won javelin silver, still fresh in her mind. At 35 years old, McIntosh is showing no signs of slowing down. But despite her incredible list of achievements, running out in the Melbourne guernsey for the fi rst time will mean “With the draft , the possible state selection, the way our the world to the 35-year-old. team is playing: I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want to give up.” “It rates up there with the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics,” McIntosh said of her AFL selection. Luckily for her, while sport seems to come naturally, giving up doesn’t. “But this was by far the hardest one to achieve.” That’s a big statement from the athlete who was forced through injury to miss the 2004 Athens Olympics, despite AFL Women’s Exhibition game having already qualifi ed. 12:20pm Sunday May 24 MCG Add to that the disappointment on realising that her Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs dream of back-to-back Winter Olympics would have to Stream live via link on www.vwfl .com.au give, aft er the 2010 bobsled season alone cost her $20,000. Not that her football career has been smooth sailing either. Since pulling on the boots for Melbourne University in 2006 she’s battled shoulder, back, knee and hamstring injuries. The turbulence of the last few seasons has been such that McIntosh was unsure of her selection chances. “To hear my name called out, I don’t know if it was the relief, or the excitement or what. I was just happy.” McIntosh’s AFL success comes as no surprise to her former throwing coach, Gus Puopolo, of Ringwood Athletics Club. “She works really, really hard,” he said. “Whatever she does she does with passion, with 100% eff ort.” Melbourne University Football Coach Andrew Jago agrees. “She’s single-minded and purpose driven… and very physical.” Hearing it in McIntosh’s own words, the dedication makes sense. “People fi nd what job they like to do, the thing that gets them through. I love competing.” Depressed aft er game day, McIntosh waits the whole week to get back out there and do it all again. “It’s such a high for me,” she says. “It’s the adrenaline.” Not known as one to go soft , McIntosh has some concerns for this Sunday’s clash, www.vwfl .com.au 11 ’‡™ˆ’‹ –d‡“’ˆ˜“’’‹djd‰ d˜– 
