A Taylor, Andrew WERRIBEE 0 6 (correctly predicted) one-point loss to Werribee in what was a Wallert, John WERRIBEE 3 6 thrilling match, and surely a win for the boys from Willy is just Fairbairn, Troy SALESIAN 3 5 around the corner. Banyule continue to impress, thrashing an Maloney, Chris STH MELB. DISTRICTS 3 5 undermanned Salesian outfit by just over ten goals, which sent a “-” results weren’t received. Any discrepancies may be due to non- strong message to the rest of the competition. Ash Brown had submission of results by clubs. another excellent game for Banyule, and he along with Tom Shepherd will be the key players to watch today. Willy will need Ben Hynes, Shaun McGuiness and Brendan Cocks to find plenty of the ball if they are to stand a chance. However, at R.J. Brockwell Oval it is hard to go past Banyule. Tempted to pick another one point loss for the visitors, but will select Banyule by 22 points.

UNDER 19 PREMIER Mitch Bodinar bagged Another cracking week of Premier section footy. Four teams another 6 goals. are now unbeaten and no surprise to see Old Xavs remain with Beaumaris are firming as the ascendency on top. the early challengers to St Review Bedes, with huge depth, Xavs put away Carey quite easily. The game was closer than quality, skill and an equally daunting home ground advantage; the score indicates, with the home team having a red hot go all it is easy to see why. Walking onto Banksia reserve has been day- tiring towards the end. Fairly physical game and the word likened to stepping onto AAMI stadium, hostile and is Carey are close to a win. Best for Xavs was David Farley, intimidating. This week was no different, and Michael while Grant Hodges and Thomas Macready-Bryan were handy DeFontenay, Anthony LaRocca and Alex Chinery were for the losers. standouts in a very even performance against a determined Rupo notched up another win, this time against an improving Collegian unit who did not stop trying. blacks outfit. After a good start and then control of the first Old Brighton rebounded strongly against Banyule, with a ten- half, Rupo lost their way and Blacks climbed back into the goal win, whilst Old Melburnians just edged an improved match. Rupo just escaped and where best served by Campbell Whitefriars outfit. I have received no info from either of these Allport and Tim Neely once again. The Blacks brigade of Matt games, and no scores or reports from the Old Paradian- Thompson and Sammy Orton were brave in defeat. Caulfield match. Players, coaches, supporters, get those Marcellin lambasted a very disappointing Scotch to the tune of reports coming in if you want to see more information in these 6 goals. My sources tell me soul-searching central at Scotch articles. this week, with some very meek performances. Let’s not dwell Tips this week on that too much, Marcellin were disciplined with better St Bedes Mentone by 45, Old Brighton by 27, Old Camberwell players being Andrew Viney and Eamon Jenkins. Oliver Baxter by 17, Collegians to break their duck by 11 pts, and Beaumaris in the ruck for the losers was handy all day. by 21 pts at Banyule. In other games De La pumped St Kevin’s and continued their CONTACT merry dance, while St Bernard’s cracked the Blues at home. All reports to [email protected] or Preview [email protected] by 3pm Monday please. Some big games this week and I expect Blacks to break the duck against St Kevin’s. It’s a big one on the Uni Main, enjoy it U19 NORTH lads! Old Scotch should bounce back against Rupo, don’t let Review me down lads. In other games, St Bernard’s, Old Xavs and De It is a very unusual system, where three teams are unbeaten La will continue their run at the top and increase the great and five yet to win a game, however with a bye and a draw, this divide. section is probably far closer than the early ladder suggests. The lock wasn’t far off last week. Tipped the pies, but who Fitzroy Reds and Emmaus St Leos fought out a close would have guessed the margin. This week the lock will be the encounter at Bennetswood – possibly the hardest ground in Blockbuster at the G. Blues v Pies, either team under 15.5 Victoria to kick a goal on.

The Reds and the Animals Happy punting! both found the wind difficult to deal with, and a huge third quarter for Fitzroy was the difference in the end. Emmaus St U19 SECTION 2 Leos are not far off the mark and with some consistency are Importantly, before we consider this week’s games I hope sure to trouble most teams this year.

Remember you for the two blues. wouldn’t be on a football field without her. Review From annihilator to annihilated, Old Camberwell have felt the highs and lows of a season in only two weeks. The latest side to hit the Tiger juggernaut would have been confident going into the game; however the stifling confines of Brindisi St and a lack of player depth were huge factors in the Weller loss. Andrew Hudson, & Dougal Yencken worked hard all day for the winners, whilst a lack of report from St Bedes Mentone makes it difficult to praise individuals for the Tigers, though ...continued page 48

UNDER 19 SECTION 3 U19 (PREMIER) Some egos were burnt, and some of the more fancied teams Old Scotch v Rupertswood at in the race for this year’s flag were given a touch up, as the Camberwell Sports Ground - 9.20am dust settled over Round Two. La Trobe, Old Ivanhoe and Old Old Xaverians v University Blues at Stradbroke Park Trinity put their hands up for flag favouritism in victories that St Bernards v Marcellin may have inspired the Cats to pump my beloved Tigers the De La Salle v Old Carey following day at the Telstra Dome. I’m also looking for new University Blacks v St Kevins residence after losing my house following a huge wager on Old U19 (2) Mentonians who I declared were unbeatable (they lost by 16 Old Melburnians v St Bedes/Mentone at Sportscover goals). Arena on Friday - 6.20 pm. Review Old Camberwell v Old Paradians Food poisoning contributed to a MHSOB team that was more Caulfield Gr v Old Brighton potent in the toilet than out on the field as they were out- Banyule v Beaumaris muscled to the tune of 121 points by the Eagles. Coach Elder Collegians v Whitefriars may well advise the youngsters to stay away from Victoria U19 (3) Street on a Friday night as they managed to only boot four La Trobe University v Old Ivanhoe goals with inspirational skipper Adam Grinholz again best for Bentleigh v Old Mentonians the Unicorns. For the Eagles, Ahearn was dominant up forward Old Essendon Gr v Ormond fizzing through five and was ably supported by good mate Bulleen Templestowe v Old Trinity Beaton. MHSOB v Oakleigh Chelsworth Park is becoming a fortress as the Hoes U19 (SOUTH) dispatched a disappointing Bentleigh to run out big winners. St Bedes/Mentone Tigers - Bye Delmonte kicked eight to take the challenge up to Bulleen Monash Blues v Ajax – 9.20am Templestowe cult hero Nathan Manaco while Hondromatidis Mazenod v Hampton Rovers was busy racking up stats in a four quarter display. Parkdale Vultures v Peninsula La Trobe must have ignored my advice on the zero percent Old Haileybury v Prahran-Caulfield chance I gave them of winning as they were Devito against the Panthers. Kibby tried hard for Old Mentonians with three U19 (NORTH) majors but he had little support. Emmaus St Leos - Bye Ormond had more moves than a cobra as they managed a Old Xaverians v St Bernards at tight 7 point win over the Ants. Stradbroke Park – 11.40am Old Essendon relished the chance the opportunity to play on Old Westbourne v Therry Penola their school oval which actually has grass and turned a two De La Salle v Rupertswood at Darling Park goal half time lead into a twelve goal margin by the final siren.

SHARPSHOOTERS – U19 NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL UNDER 19 SECTION SOUTH My tipping fortunes have plummeted quicker than Casey U19 (PREMIER) Donavon’s career with only a half out of four this week. All Delahunty, James MARCELLIN 4 10 the games were tight tussles, a little less exciting than Douglas, Josh OLD XAVERIANS 4 9 jelly wrestling, but still highly engaging as we saw our Kovarik, Adam DE LA SALLE 2 9 first draw and Prahran/Caulfield get its maiden win. Mercuri, Jonathon OLD XAVERIANS 4 9 Review Ryan, Andrew OLD XAVERIANS 1 8 The local derby at Brindisi Street saw Hampton lead at Gregory, Daniel RUPERTSWOOD 1 6 quarter time before losing their way in a three goal loss to MacReady-Bryan, Thomas OLD CAREY 3 6 the Tigers. In an inability to adapt to wet weather football, U19 (2) the Rovers dropped once they expected to win with wingman Matt Law and Lachie Batt on a half back flank Bodinnar, Mitch ST BEDES MENTONE 6 15 admiral in defeat. Seven-goal hero Ryan was the main Cathcart, Robert BEAUMARIS 3 7 man for SBMT who play their home ground extremely Ferguson, Alistair OLD MELBURNIANS 1 6 well. Jenkin, Peter BANYULE 2 6 Looking like a team that would be the whipping boys for Kruger, Paul OLD MELBURNIANS 5 6 2007, Prahran/Caulfield took heed of my inkling of a L'Huillier, Sam ST BEDES MENTONE 5 6 major upset by having a fantastic one point win against MacLeod-Smith, Stuart OLD BRIGHTON GR 6 6 the Sky Blues. Matt Raymond was simply electric all day U19 (3) with support from tough nut Ollie Hagen smashing packs Delmonte, Adrian OLD IVANHOE GR 8 10 and Tim Maya putting in a four quarter effort. Allan, Tim ORMOND 5 8 Mazenod kicked 27 goals last week, this week they were Monaco, Nathan BULLEEN TEMPLESTOWE 0 8 goalless at half time as Ajax thrived in greasy conditions Beaton, Lach OLD TRINITY 2 7 to record a 17 point win. Even with Fayman injured, the Jackas found a replacement in Schwartz who marked Simpson, Lachlan ORMOND 2 7 strongly up forward. Bamblett-Furner fitted his name on McGorry, Daniel OLD ESSENDON GR 6 6 the team sheet to be amongst the best for Mazenod. Sasson, Jamie BENTLEIGH 0 6 In the final game of the round, Peninsula and Old U19 (SOUTH) Haileyburians took turns all day in the lead but neither Ryan, Chad ST BEDES MENTONE 7 8 could manage to rush through a behind as the first draw White, Rory HAMPTON ROVERS 2 8 of the year was the final result. Clarke again backed up Fraser, Scott MAZENOD 2 6 last week’s performance for the Pirates while Baptist Fayman, David AJAX 0 5 kicked three for Old Haileyburians who played with only Giasoumi, Jason HAMPTON ROVERS 3 5 eighteen players. Lang, Yannai AJAX 2 5 Preview Pinto, Kyle HAMPTON ROVERS 2 5 Monash Blues ($5.25) V. Ajax ($1.08) U19 (NORTH) Skinny odds but the Jackas will prove inspiration to their disappointing senior team with a resounding thumping of Hartnett, Patrick FITZROY REDS 2 7 the Uni boys. Dawson-Smith, Jayred FITZROY REDS 0 5 Mazenod ($1.80) V. Hampton Rovers ($2) McKibbin, Dane THERRY PENOLA 4 5 The Rovers hope to celebrate the birth of their coach’s Chahine, Andrew THERRY PENOLA 3 4 baby but at home I think Mazenod will sneak home in a Ford, Chris NTH OLD BOYS/ST PATS 0 4 tight one. Ligris, Christopher FITZROY REDS 1 4 Parkdale ($1.60) V. Peninsula ($2.25) Quamil, David DE LA SALLE 3 4 The Pirates have the best player in the competition so far “-” results weren’t received. Any discrepancies may be due to non- in Clarke who will inspire an away win with Peninsula to submission of results by clubs. win by three goals over a sleepy Vultures outfit. Old Haileyburians ($1.33) V. Prahran/Caulfield ($3.10) Back to home turf, the luxury of having players on the bench will equate to a victory over an improving Prahran/Caulfield.

CLUB XVIII SECTION by Norm Nugent

Round 2 matches were played in varying conditions Trigg. Best for Kew including much needed rain. The results, which revealed were: Oldmeadow, more changes to the status quo, were much more Wang, Carman and favourable to this scribe whose success rate rose to Rees. 77% Section 3 REVIEW OF ROUND 2 Bulleen Templestowe were too strong for North Old Section 1 Boys/ St Patricks as they won by twenty five points. The Prahran juggernaut continued on its winning way Old Geelong started their season successfully with a with a one hundred and thirty four point victory over thirty three point victory over Old Westbourne. Mazenod Box Hill North continued on their winning way by University Blues wasteful kicking prevented them defeating Fitzroy Reds by fifteen points. seriously challenging Old Melburnians, who won their Therry Penola were not equal to the task of defeating Old encounter by twenty one points. Carey, who won by thirty two points on the Fawkner Old Scotch just took the points from De La Salle, who Oval. failed by five points. Old Scotch proved clearly superior in talent to Oakleigh Even at this early stage, there is evidence De La Salle as they were untroubled to win by sixty four points. could fail to qualify for the finals. After one week the Marcellin hopes were dashed by Old Xaverians 2 set up their victory over St Francis Whitefriars, who were favoured by the elements as they Xavier in the first half as the Kew based side led by thirty built up their twenty seven point winning margin. Best nine points at the long interval. In the rain the for Whitefriars included: Clint Collins, Hagen Shaw and Beaconsfield boys had the better of the third quarter Ben.

PREVIEW OF ROUND 3 O’Hanlon and Vice Captain, Peter Ockleshaw. For St Section 1 Francis Xavier, Captain Xavier Gargan and the Russo Old Xaverians should inflict the third consecutive defeat brothers: Karl and Nicholas were best. on De La Salle, where ever the match is played In the afternoon match, Old Xaverians proved far too Old Xaverians 2 should record another comfortable win good for St Kevin’s, whose official reticence in providing over Mazenod, who appear to be struggling this season. the scores caused a lot of effort by many to obtain the The match of the round should be that between Prahran necessary details. Best for the Old Xaverians in their and Old Scotch, each of whom is undefeated in 2007. eighty two point victory was their Captain, Vin. Perry. Each was a finalist in 2006 and each seems to have altered its team structure judging on Round 1 Section 2 information. I select Prahran who are playing at home. The Emmaus – St Leo’s versus Monash Blues game was University Blues need to be more accurate in finding St a fast and close checking one in which Monash gradually Francis College than they were at finding the Crawford overcame the persistent home side to record a sixty Oval goals or they will be in deeper difficulty than after eight point win.

At Old Brighton defeated a very inaccurate St Bede’s/ home I reckon they will have too much talent for the Mentone Tigers by twenty eight points in a low scoring Blues. game. Old Melburnians could be the big improvers this season Collegians continued on their winning way by defeating and today they should win again by defeating St Kevin’s, the inaccurate St Bernard’s by the Heinz margin… fifty who seem to lack the talent of season’s past. seven points. Section 2 Caulfield Grammarians were too big and fast for Old At home I favour Monash Blues to defeat the improving trinity, who never looked like overcoming Caulfield, who Old Brighton after a close encounter. won by ninety nine points. St Bernard’s host Old Trinity as each team strives for its Old Scotch had a successful afternoon’s football as they initial win in 2007.

Best for the Reds were: Coach outings. St Bernard’s are my selection. Andrew George, fellow forward, Crowe, Morgan and Caulfield Grammarians impressed last week and today

56 V THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER 2007 VAFA RNd 3 07.qxd 10/5/07 10:14 AM Page 57

they should continue on their winning way by defeating Kew, who are still team building. TODAY’S CLUB 18 MATCHES Another match of seasonal significance is that between Collegians and Old Scotch, neither of whom has tasted CLUB XVIII (1) defeat in 2007. I favour Collegians at home as I suspect Old Xaverians v De La Salle their form has been the more impressive (I calculate) Mazenod v Old Xaverians (2) Fitzroy Reds play University Blacks and victory will keep Prahran v Old Scotch the reds in the top bracket while defeat for the Blacks will see them fall further down the ladder. In this round of the St Francis Xavier v University Blues battle between red and black, I favour Fitzroy Red’s Old Melburnians v St Kevins Captain, Andrew George to hold the “Stendhal Silver’ at the end of the game. CLUB XVIII (2) St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers, who have disappointed so Monash Blues v Old Brighton at far, have the opportunity to break the ice today at the Brighton Beach Oval – 9.20am expense of Emmaus/ St Leos. I believe they will do so. St Bernards v Old Trinity Section 3 I favour Whitefriars to defeat Old Geelong on the wide Caulfield Gr v Kew wings of Como Park. Collegians v Old Scotch Fitzroy Reds should return to the winning list by University Blacks v Fitzroy Reds defeating Beaumaris at McHale Stadium. St Bedes Mentone v Emmaus St Leos Box Hill North will meet stern opposition from Marcellin, who may prove too tall for the newly formed “Dragons”. CLUB XVIII (3) Pace could offset Marcellin’s strength but I still favour Oakleigh – Bye the “Eagles”. Old Carey buoyed by a win face Old Scotch at Victoria Old Geelong v Whitefriars Road, a ground familiar to both teams. I suspect Old Fitzroy Reds v Beaumaris at Peterson Reserve Scotch will take the points through greater depth of (Brunswick St) talent. Marcellin v Box Hill North North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s journey west to play Old Old Carey v Old Scotch Westbourne, who have not looked like winning during Old Westbourne v NOB/St Patricks at the first two Rounds. North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s, Warringa Reserve though winless have been competitive and I favour them to win today. Bulleen Templestowe v Therry Penola Bulleen Templestowe should win well over Therry Penola, who seem set for another “winter of discontent” Oakleigh has the Bye.
