SUPPORTS THE VAFA AFCA/VAFA COACH OF THE YEAR U19 FOR COACH OF THE MONTH – JUNE David Lappage – Old Haileybury David was appointed coach of the Old Haileybury U19 in 2004, resurrecting a side which had been in hiatus for two years. Being a teacher at Haileybury College, David was able to recruit school leavers to the Old Boys and build a nucleus for the side. David’s hard work over the past two years is beginning to bear fruit, with his side still currently undefeated in U19 (Blue) section. David was a highly regarded footballer for the Old Haileybury AFC over many years; a dangerous forward with an accurate kick and a premiership player in 1995. David retired from football after the OH’s 2002 Grand Final loss, returning briefly in 2003. David is highly regarded by his playing group and a worthy winner of Coach of the Month.

Williamstown are off the bottom of the ladder and this year they will all may still be in D2 next season. La Trobe and Ivanhoe drive their 4WD’s into Assumption would seem to be battling out the Canadian Bay. At this relegation spots with Williamstown, but there is still a stage they are short long way to go. In the battle for the final four, Glen price favourites for the premiership but we all know Eira are in good form and are making a late run at the that they have failed before in September. Huge finals. They face a huge challenge today, and must danger game for the Pirates today. Willy are playing win to keep their finals hopes alive. good footy, and will be full of confidence of their survival hopes. Ben Hynes must get the job on Payze Aquinas OC $1.55 v Glen Eira AFC $2.30 I say, and if the rock god can keep the Pirates skipper Aquinas are holding on to fourth spot and need a win quiet and Wheeler is in form up forward, then Willy here to cement their spot. Last Saturday they lost by must be a chance. My A-Grade value bet of the week 41 points to Oakleigh but it must be said that four of here. Willy by 2 points. their starting 18 had gone down injured by half-time. Robert Moran marked superbly all day, and Cliff Lyng Ivanhoe Assumption AFC $3.10 v Oakleigh and Shane Cooper tried hard, but Oakleigh were too AFC $1.33 good. Glen Eira had a 20 point win!!! Yeah, I couldn’t The Hoe’s are officially in trouble, slipping to the believe they won by that much either, considering bottom of the ladder with a disappointing 71 point how many times this year they have won by a smaller loss to St John’s. Dave Neilson continued his solid margin. Steven Dyason was once again superb, and form across half forward, Matt Wilson tried hard at Brad Clements proved elusive in front of goals with centre half back and Travis O’Neill found plenty of the six majors. If the Saints can get up today, then they ball, but it was an unhappy day for the Hoe’s. are a real shot to grab that fourth spot on the ladder. If Aquinas get the points, then it’s goodbye Glen Eira McKINNON in terms of finals for season 2006. I expect this to be SPORTS MEDICINE a hard fought and fiery game. Glen Eira will throw SHARPSHOOTERS – D2 everything at Aquinas, but I will side with the home team by 11 points.

What’s at stake I hear? Uni want the double chance badly, Rupo want a top of the ladder with an easy win over Old Essendon, Barrand kicking slice of September. Uni for me after watching an impressive training session last week. St Bernard’s need to win against an improving Old McKINNON Scotch. An upset will see Old Scotch claw closer to finals action. It’s SPORTS MEDICINE hardly Essendon versus Carlton but BV play Collegians for battle of the wooden spoon. I’m always a fan of BV, so I’ll stick with the lads to notch SHARPSHOOTERS – U18 win number three.
