02 www.vfl .com.au A fond farewell The end of any football season brings with it the usual retirement announcements and club departures. 2015 will be no diff erent with two competition stalwarts in North Ballarat coach Gerard FitzGerald and Coburg captain Nick Carnell saying farewell to their respective clubs. This week in the Record we pay tribute to Gerard’s 19-year career within the Peter Jackson VFL and TAC Cup, as he coaches the Roosters for the fi nal time against Coburg at Eureka Stadium. The VFA/VFL coaching record holder leaves a lasting impression on the competition, with his tally of 345 games at the end of the season across three clubs – North Ballarat, Casey Scorpions and Port Melbourne – setting a benchmark that will be hard to surpass. The three-time Roosters premiership coach knows the talent pathway well, providing opportunities to local players in the region at North Ballarat for 15 seasons, helping nurture and educate players both at state league and U18 level. Across his coaching career the likes of Nathan and Mitch Brown, , , , , Stephen Clift on and have all benefi ted from the ‘Fitzy’ style of coaching and gone on to play at the elite level in the AFL. Anyone that has spoken with Gerard knows his passion for football, and his time and commitment to coaching has helped develop not only players but also coaches over his career. Footscray premiership coach Chris Maple started his coaching career under Gerard at the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup and Box Hill Hawks premiership coach played under him during his one year stint at Springvale (Casey Scorpions) in 2003. A four-time state coach and two-time VFL Coach of the Year, Gerard has been a great ambassador for our competition, continuing to promote the value of the VFL in regional areas for not only the players but also the community. We wish him all the best in the next chapter of his coaching career. At Coburg last weekend, Lions captain Nick Carnell said his farewells aft er a decade playing at the top level. Players like Nick are great role models for the many young players coming through the ranks and the TAC Cup graduates on the Lions list are sure to have benefi ted from the leadership and professionalism he has displayed. The respect Carnell has gained from his opponents over the years was highlighted last round when the Casey Scorpions players formed a guard of honour as he was chaired from the fi eld in what was to be his last game in the Coburg guernsey. Both FitzGerald and Carnell refl ect the mix of quality people we have involved in our competitions and we wish both well in their future endeavours.

One of the most decorated coaches in the history of the Peter Jackson VFL says goodbye to the club he has become synonymous with on Saturday. North Ballarat’s triple premiership-winning mentor reached a preliminary fi nal. Gerard FitzGerald will leave the Roosters aft er their In 1999 and 2000, the Roosters rose further, losing fi nal match of 2015 against Coburg at Eureka Stadium Grand Finals to Springvale and Sandringham as a true ambassador of the VFL competition. respectively, with FitzGerald being named coach of the He is the record-holder for most games coached in VFL VFL Team of the Year in 2000. history (Saturday’s game will be his 345th) and is one But his incredible adaptability is illustrated in the fact of only four VFL/VFA coaches to have led their team to that during his fi rst stint at North Ballarat from 1997 to three consecutive premierships (in 2008-10). 2002, the mission wasn’t just about winning games of FitzGerald started his VFL coaching journey in 1997 at football.

www.taccup.com.au 05 No football team should ever go into the season without their eyes on the major prize – winning a premiership. This week Victorians were issued a challenge that will see us all working together as a team until we reach our ultimate goal of zero deaths or serious injuries on our roads. Towards Zero sets an ambitious target, but if we’re not aiming for zero we’re saying to ourselves that there is an acceptable level of road trauma. Many of you will have seen the Transport Accident Commission’s new Towards Zero advertisements on television this week. An everyday Victorian is asked what a more acceptable road toll would be. His answer is 70. He is not an actor and he is not prepared for the sight of 70 of his closest family and friends walking around the corner. This campaign represents a new direction for the TAC, the Victorian Government and its road safety partners. It begins with opening Victorians’ minds to the reality that road trauma is not about numbers. It is about people’s brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, teammates and colleagues and not one of them should die or be seriously injured just because they use our roads. But Towards Zero is not just a new campaign. It is a fresh approach to road trauma reduction and every Victorian has a role to play, whether you’re playing back pocket for the local footy team, you’re in business, politics or the everyday person in the street. We know people make mistakes but we also know that if Victorians are safer drivers, safer pedestrians and safer riders, these mistakes will be less frequent and the consequences less severe. If, for example, people are driving a car with a fi ve-star ANCAP safety rating, there will be a host of vehicle safety features that will intervene in the event of a mistake to prevent an accident or cushion the vehicle occupants from death or injury. If they are travelling at safer speeds, the forces involved will be reduced along with the risk of hurting themselves. Road design also has a big part to play in the march Towards Zero and Victorians will see unprecedented spending on safer roads infrastructure in coming years. The TAC recognises the power of football in reaching out to Victorians and we see our continued relationships with AFL Victoria and the TAC Cup as playing an important role in Towards Zero. We’d like everyone in the footballing community, whether you’re a fan, a coach, a parent or a player to think about what is important you and make a commitment to be safe every time you use the roads. There is no one someone won’t miss. Joe Calafi ore TAC chief executive off icer

The 18-year-old missed all but one game of Sandringham’s 2014 season due in part to snapping a fi nger tendon while playing school football for Melbourne Grammar. But this year, Tashevski-Beckwith has played almost every match he can – either in the TAC Cup, APS competition or NAB AFL U18 Championships – missing just one match for his school through soreness. There was a lesson to be learnt when an injury to one fi nger could impact a season of football so profoundly. “I was tackling and I had my fi st clenched with the opponent’s jumper in my hand, but then he pulled away and I was still holding on – it forced the tendon back in my fi nger and snapped it,” Tashevski- Beckwith said. “That was with my fi ngers, so now I’m a lot more conscious of what can happen and I always tackle with my body or more than just my fi ngers.” The extra time on the fi eld this year has allowed 183cm Tashevski-Beckwith to demonstrate his ability as an attacking half back fl anker. champion Sam Mitchell – who has spent time across He’s averaging over 18 disposals and four tackles half back in recent seasons – and his rare ability to per game in seven matches for the Dragons, and averaged 12 disposals at 80 per cent eff iciency in kick equally well with both feet. two games for Vic Metro at the U18 Championships. “My main strength for my game is being able to kick But to play as a damaging defender at the highest on both feet,” Tashevski-Beckwith said. underage levels, Tashevski-Beckwith has had to “I want to be like Sam Mitchell; I’ve got a long way to change his game up since trialling for a junior local go, but I watch a lot of Hawthorn games and I just try league representative team several years ago. to watch what he does.” “I remember I kicked eight goals in each of the two Tashevski-Beckwith will have a chance to test his trial matches as a forward but I didn’t get picked kicking boot – or boots – at October’s Victorian AFL because I couldn’t kick properly – I had a two- State Combine. handed ball drop,” he said.

Development League fi nals equations First and second spots have been sorted ahead of the fi nal round of the AFL Victoria Development League home-and-away season, but fourth position remains up for grabs. The undefeated Box Hill Hawks have had the minor premiership in hand for a while now and will face second-placed Williamstown (11-4) at Box Hill City Oval this weekend in a dress rehearsal for next week’s fi rst semi fi nal. Casey (9-6) is only one game ahead of Sandringham (8-7) in fi ft h, but a superior percentage (135.5% to 124.8%) means it’s unlikely the Scorpions could be overtaken by the Zebras unless Sandringham infl icts a particularly heavy defeat on them at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday. Sitting nervously in fourth with a relatively poor percentage of 113.0% is Coburg (9-6), which will need to defeat the Northern Blues at Preston City Oval on Sunday to guarantee a fi nals berth if the Zebras do manage to knock off Casey the previous day. www.taccup.com.au 11 North Ballarat had Calder covered Round 17 in several ways in Round 17 Highlights

The Stingrays are even on wins but 13 percent- age points behind the ladder leaders, so they need to defeat the Geelong Falcons at Simonds Stadium and hope North Ballarat loses to the Oakleigh Chargers at Eureka Stadium to claim fi rst spot. The Falcons will be no easy beats however, as they’re in a tight battle with the Murray Bush- rangers and Eastern Ranges for third and fourth positions – and a vital double chance in fi nals.

On form, Murray will be highly favoured to travel to Bendigo and return with the four points, but if that doesn’t happen, the Bush- rangers could even fall out of the top four if both Eastern and Geelong triumph – a position they wouldn’t have been in since Round 6.

As a team the players showed they really wanted to make up for a poor fi rst half, shown by the evenness with 12 goal kickers. This week an amazing challenge as we take on one of the most highly rated midfi eld teams this year, as well as being showcased as the only TAC Cup game on Sunday being played on an AFL ground. It doesn’t get any bigger- now it’s up to the players! As a club we would like to take the time to thank the entire playing group (60 players) with 49 having played at least 1 game for the club. They have kept the pressure on the group to maintain the standards required to compete each week at the highest standards the club leadership group set in February at camp.

Holmes and Smith debut Darcy Lang representing the Geelong Falcons in In a historic day for football, Jason Holmes became 2013 the fi rst American to play a senior AFL match when he ran out for St Kilda in the Saints’ draw with Geelong at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. The 203cm 25-year-old has been developing his game as a ruckman at St Kilda’s Peter Jackson VFL aff iliate Sandringham since being taken as an international rookie ahead of the 2014 season. Holmes played 19 matches at senior VFL level and one in the Development League last season but has fl ourished in 2015, playing 16 senior matches and ranking second in the VFL for total hitouts before receiving the call-up to the elite level last week. The Chicago native had seven disposals and a game- high 34 hitouts against the Cats. Joining Holmes in making his AFL debut in Round 21 was rookie Rourke Smith, a former Calder Cannon. 18-year-old Smith was a member of Calder’s losing 2014 TAC Cup Grand Final side before being selected by the Bulldogs with pick no.5 in last year’s Rookie Draft . Originally from Sunbury, the athletic defender had nine disposals and took three marks as the Bulldogs lost to West Coast by 77 points at Domain Stadium.

Lang recorded 16 disposals, three marks and one score assist against the Saints, and is currently ranked fi rst for score assists at the Cats in 2015. He is averaging 13 disposals per game and has kicked 13 goals in 19 games this season.
