CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 10 CHRISTIAN TRAEGER (IVANHOE ASSUMPTION) Ivanhoe Assumption centre half back Christian Traeger is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 10 after his best on ground performance against Aquinas last Saturday. Christian has great natural ability and is a very strong mark in any conditions. He has worked harder on his aerobic capacity this year and his increased fitness is starting to pay dividends as he has been in Ivanhoe’s best players in the past 4 weeks. Last weeks game against top 4 side Aquinas was a crunch game for the club and Christian did not let his team mates down. Taking on the role of CHB (with two key tall defenders unavailable), Christian held his own early and then went on to be the most dominant player on the ground. With great run from the backline and well over 15 marks for the day, Christian was the catalyst for the big upset at Ringwood. Christian began as a 19 year old from the country and in his first year was the victim of being placed in several different positions and not being allowed to settle – difficult for a young developing player in his first few games of senior football. Finding a place in the backline or even as a tall wingman this season has seen him develop more quickly than many had anticipated. With a continued high work ethic, development of his foot skills and his great natural talent, Ivanhoe would think that over the next few years he will become a man that other clubs will have to watch each week as they plan their Saturday match ups. Congratulations to Christian and we wish him and Ivanhoe Assumption well in the second half of the year as they endeavour to stave off relegation.

TO ALL RESERVE CLUB UMPIRES – 4/7/06

The following points are based on trends in matches that have occurred this season to date and I would like to impress upon all reserve club umpires that the role you play as an umpire, is a vital one for the benefit of the VAFA and your clubs.

The best umpires are those who go about their task with minimum attention being focused on themselves, yet maintaining control, allowing the game to flow and paying all obvious free kicks.

Control of the game. The way you present yourself and communicate is vital in your ability to control the game and players.

A strong whistle and good verbal communication, explaining free kicks contribute to maintaining control. In communicating to the player, it is also critical to communicate to the officials and spectators why the free kick was awarded. A positive signal and strong whistle with a call “too high” informs everyone what the free kick is for.

Players at times get frustrated due to many factors - being tagged, not handling the ball or the conditions well, etc. Understand their frustration but remain calm and remember to always ‘be firm but fair’.  Paying free kicks is the first form of control, this sends a message to players that you will award free kicks to the player going the ball.  Addressing players who swear or continually question decisions is an important element of umpiring, understand their complaint and re-act appropriately in a fair manner.  As an umpire you must always act in an impartial manner and award all free kicks within your area of control. (If you have any queries about this area, please contact me)

I encourage you strongly never to argue or enter into a slanging match with players.

Umpire system/position. Your position should always be inside the play. Maintain a position of 20-25 meters side on to play. New umpires tend to be drawn into the play. After chasing a football for 2 hours and listening to advice you will start to develop skills to position yourself correctly.

The umpire in control of play should make all the decisions in relation to free-kicks with the No2 umpire being alert to behind play and watching for players illegally dealt with after disposing of the football. No2 Umpire should NOT award any free-kick that the Umpire has control of unless it is in the following circumstances:  A blatant head high tackle  A reportable offence

This document is written to assist you with your umpiring in the best interests of the players and the VAFA competition.

Most important of all enjoy yourself and be part of the game.

Always check the VAFA website www.vafa.com.au to keep up with all the umpiring coaching sessions and information that may assist you.

If I can be of any further assistance please contact me on 9531 8333, 0408 338 098 or [email protected]

Yours in Football Brian Goodman

Three weeks away from finals ladies and gentlemen…. The main event for this weekend will have to be the first You can already see the look in players eyes, as they start to division clash between Mazenod 1 and Kananook 1. Both acknowledge that the end is coming, and that it is almost teams are in fine form and will throw everything they have at solely up to them to ensure that they get there, in order to play one another to ensure that either Kananook remain on top for that glory and everything else that comes with winning a spot, or that Mazenod, can get up there and show the bigger grand final. boys that they have what it takes. I might go the underdog, I feel Mazenod have the pace to get round the much sturdier Again at home down in Elsternwick we have 3 games being Kananook side played, one first division clash and two third division games. At Home: Oval 1 will host 3rd placed Bulleen Templestowe in second Ballarat: Ballarat plays host to Lara which should see last division playing against 4th placed Kananook 2 which should year’s 1st division premiers Ballarat come out on top. a be tough encounter since both teams will be eager to knock each other off their positions, for Bulleen a win would place Port Melbourne: Port Colts 1 take on Broady 1 which should them three games clear of 4th spot and almost ensure them a also prove to be a very tough game as both sides go out to spot in the finals. And on that thought, Bulleen should prove take the points and go for final glory in the next coming weeks. too strong on the day. The Colters should be too strong for the Kangaroos this weekend and put them at 8 for 0 in second division. Oval 2 will hold only one game this weekend, and that will be played between Parkside and Mazenod 2. Albury/ Wodonga: Both Ovens and Murray sides are at home Both teams are sitting middle of the tally so this match could this week and are taking on two teams near the bottom of the easily go either way, a win here can give either side the ladder and both should walk away with convincing wins and momentum they might need to play finals. This game will be a confirm their places in second and third spot of third division. very hard one to judge although I have a feeling that Parkside maybe the ones to walk away the victors against what appears Maribyrnong and Pt Colts 2 have got the break this week and a very young and small Mazenod side. will happy to rest them selves with the tough weeks to come.

Costello (5) Park, Ajax nearly took the points against Ormond with very little and Brennan (3) brought it home while ‘MC’ Lee kicked 5 for the home between the two teams all day, however, Ajax relinquished their half time side.

TODAY’S U19 MATCHES U19 (1) UNDER 19 BLUE Rupertswood AFC v Collegians Review St Bernards v St Kevins OB A couple of upsets in this section may make for interesting reading, but have not made too much of a difference to the shape of the top four. Old Scotch v Marcellin OC Parkdale Vultures had a surprisingly easy victory over Oakleigh Clayton Old Xaverians (1) v De La Salle OC at home with Horler and Hunter very impressive for the victors. Old University Blues v Banyule-Viewbank Mentonians, who were relaxing with the weekend off, would be U19 (2) delighted with this result for they are now a game and a half clear of Caulfield Gr v Old Melburnians Oakleigh. Hampton again played havoc with my tips, however, are Old Trinity Gr v Whitefriars OC starting to show what they are capable of with a good win against De La Beaumaris FC v Old Carey Gr Salle. Both of these teams have suffered at the hands of senior teams Old Camberwell Gr v Old Paradians with many stars being pushed up to the higher grade, however, De La Old Brighton Gr v University Blacks have had a couple of hiccups of late and while their supporters keep harping on about how they are the real deal, I have a few concerns. Old U19 (3) Haileyburians increased their already massive percentage with a big win Emmaus St Leos OC v Ajax AFC over Powerhouse/Sth Mornington, while Mazenod had little trouble Old Ivanhoe Gr v Oakleigh AFC disposing of Monash. La Trobe University AFC v St Bedes Mentone Tigers Old Essendon Gr v MHSOB Preview Ormond AFC v Bentleigh With the likes of Dolman, Johnson, Smitsdorff and Mason all playing U19 (Blue) good footy for Old Haileyburians, this team will continue on their Monash Blues v Old Haileyburians merry way with a good win over Monash Blues, who seem to struggle Hampton Rovers AFC v Mazenod OC against the powerhouse teams of this section. Old Mentonians will have enjoyed the week off and they should be too strong for Parkdale Oakleigh Clayton v De La Salle OC at home, while De La travels to Oakleigh Clayton in a game they Old Mentonians v Parkdale Vultures should be certainties for, but for some reason my confidence isn’t Powerhouse/Sth Mornington - BYE overflowing for the boys in blue and gold. Tom Kovarik has been a U19 (Red) shining light for De La, as have the consistent performances from Old Xaverians (2) - BYE Breda and Semmel, but they can’t do it alone and only a good team Old Westbourne v North Old Boys/St Pats Col effort will see De La take the points, and they should do so at least Rupertswood AFC v Kew AFC for this weekend. The rejuvenated Hampton host the rampaging Aquinas OC v Bulleen Templestowe AFC Mazenod, and while Hampton have put two good wins together Therry Penola OB v Fitzroy Reds against very good opposition, Mazenod is a different kettle of fish,

With an blustery conditions was 80% success rate in Round 10, I am well satisfied. hotly contested throughout. Whitefriars were best served by Ben Atkinson in defence, forward, Peter O’Brien and REVIEW Andrew Spiteri. For Therry Penola, defenders, Toner, Section 1 Brennan and Serong were best. Old Melburnians had more scoring shots than Old Monash Blues found undermanned Marcellin competitive Xaverians but were let down by inaccuracy up forward and before the Monash depth of talent, overran “The Eagles” to so failed by seven points to record victory. kick eleven goals to nil in the final quarter. This rampage Prahran made a mockery of my prediction when they enabled Monash to win by 121 points. Their best included defeated top side, De La Salle by eleven points. Each of Richard Davies, James Sheldon, Paul Coughlin and Joe these sides should be part of the finals scene. O’Dwyer. Reigning premiers St Kevin’s failed by 58 points against Old Scotch, who now are a game clear in fourth place. Section 3 Old Xaverians 2 justified my faith, inflicting a 21 point Fitzroy Reds went further ahead of Old Geelong each defeat on University Blues. The Blues led by some 18 quarter as the Reds built their 48 point winning margin. points at half time but all was not lost for the Xaverians. The Reds had good contributors in veterans Tony Jackson, Veteran Rod. Calhaem, shed his years and in a cameo Nick Auden (who picked up kicks at both ends of the performance kicked three goals to inspire his younger team ground) and Daniel Barr. mates, whose second half form carried them to victory. Mazenod returned to the wining list with a 37 point victory over St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers. Mazenod set up their win McKINNON in the opening quarter and although tiring late in the game SPORTS MEDICINE were never seriously in danger of defeat.

In the Friday night game, Beaumaris defeated La Trobe are an enigmatic side, are at home to Beaumaris who need University by 11 points. victory to stay in the final’s contest. Old Geelong, who were A very inaccurate Old Essendon still managed to defeat Old undermanned last week, still showed snippets of fine Trinity by 14 points. Trinity led at half time before Old football. Overall, I favour Beaumaris, despite the ground Essendon steadied following another Rush oration. Their size. In a battle for second place, Fitzroy Reds visit inaccuracy kept Trinity in the game before Old Essendon Caulfield Grammarians. In Round 2, Caulfield won by fitness prevailed and brought victory. Best for Old sixteen points, but since then the Reds have improved Essendon were Evans, Hughes, Overman and Rush (orator greatly. Caulfield stamina is in question rather than their of the week award). skill level. The Reds play determined football and with Matthew Kelly and Daniel Barr up forward they could kick a Emmaus/ St Leo’s put themselves right back into finals winning score. Travis Brockman for Caulfield is capable of contention when they defeated North Old Boys/ St Patrick’s kicking a lot of goals if allowed latitude. I predict a close by 27 points. encounter from which Fitzroy Reds will emerge victorious. Caulfield Grammarians were largely untroubled to defeat Old Scotch by 62 points. TEAM MANAGERS Thanks again to all who contact me. Your efforts are PREVIEW appreciated by readers. Please contact me by 1.00 p.m. Section 1 Monday either by telephone 9467 2857 or at Old Xaverians should consolidate top position with a big [email protected] win over St Bede’s/ Mentone Tigers. Likewise, Old Scotch should consolidate fourth place with victory over Old Xaverians 2. I expect Prahran to defeat St Kevin’s on the MILESTONESMILESTONES field (unlike Round 2). St Kevin’s appear unlikely to recover Monash veteran Luke Woods played his 100th game for sufficient ground to atone for their April administrative against Marcellin last Saturday. Since Luke started with oversights and so qualify to defend their 2005 premiership the Whites, he has proven a leader within the team as victory. I expect De La Salle to bounce back with a win over well as being a talented member of it. He has won the improving Mazenod. Old Melburnians should continue multiple Club Best and Fairest awards because of his their recent good form with a win over University Blues, match winning talents. Congratulations Luke on your who have lost their way over recent weeks. achievements. Perhaps your long service will be rewarded with a premiership this season. Section 2 A St Bernard’s win over Whitefriars would give them a stranglehold on fourth place with four games to play. Victory to Whitefriars could see them in the four with four TODAY’S CLUB 18 MATCHES to play. Despite their unpredictability I select St Bernard’s to win at home. Mt Lilydale, who is playing consistently, CLUB 18 (1) should be able to win again at the expense of Collegians, Old Xaverians v St Bedes Mentone Tigers who face a long eastern trip for the game. Old Brighton must be given a good chance of victory over University Old Scotch v Old Xaverians (2) Blacks, given the semester break as well as the home Prahran AFC v St Kevins OB ground advantage. Both were big losers last week so Mazenod OC v De La Salle OC selection is a toss up. At home I select Old Brighton. Fitzroy Reds should continue on their winning way by University Blues v Old Melburnians defeating Marcellin, who are competitive but short of CLUB 18 (2) playing options. Monish Blues face their “Long March” St Bernards v Whitefriars OC north west to Oak Park to meet Therry Penola, who will not Mt Lilydale OC v Collegians have the depth of talent necessary to inflict the first defeat of 2006 on Monash Blues.

Old Old Trinity Gr v North Old Boys/St Pats Col Essendon Grammarians should record another victory by La Trobe University AFC v Old Essendon defeating La Trobe University.
