OEG and Costello and his fellow the Blacks in the cut throat first semi, while Mazenod and defenders all fine Whitefriars will go to C Section. But I have been wrong contributors. For Beauy before!!!! Michael Duggan, Andrew Spence and Brayden Haynes all tried their utmost to keep their side in the game.

A big A draw at South Road earlier in the year makes for an week of Team Meetings and bonding sessions obviously had interesting game today. Old Brighton would be well advised the desired effect as the boys obviously came to play and with not to take Beaumaris lightly especially at Shark Park and their hard running and enthusiasm would have smashed most although finals are no longer a possibility for Beauy, Russell B Grade sides. Paul Greenham yet again proved what a fine Barnes will make sure they play with plenty of pride. But the acquisition he has been on his return.

Young Chris Dawes was impressive, but it was his big McKINNON brother David who did most of the damage hauling down a SPORTS MEDICINE dozen plus marks and kicking 3 goals. Blair Mason was good all day in his 50th and Andrew Edge played his years best. SHARPSHOOTERS – B Jeremy Diaz back in for Mazenod kicked 4, young Shaun NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL Moran and Dave Hansen also played well.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 16 DIRK HEINZ (UNIVERSITY BLUES)

University Blues key position player Dirk Heinz is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 16 after his best on ground performance against Old Melburnians last Saturday. Dirk came to University from Shepparton and played in the under 19’s. Last season he developed into a key player in the firsts. His height, 6’5”, allows him to play in the key positions at both ends of the ground. A few weeks ago, Dirk kicked 5 goals and last week he played at centre half back and was instrumental in the club’s big win over Melburnians. If Uni are to go all the way this year then they will rely on the ability of players like Dirk to fill the key central positions at Elsternwick Park.

Aquinas look to have a firm hold of fourth spot on the ladder going down to Oakleigh by requiring only one more win to play in the first semi final. 36 points but ran out of Down the other end of the ladder, nothing is assured. Two legs in the second half after clubs out of St John’s, Williamstown, La Trobe and Ivanhoe trailing by only two straight Assumption will remain in D2 next season whilst two clubs will kicks at the long break. be relegated to D3. St John’s are one win ahead of the other Peter Walker and Callum Pattie worked hard all day for the three clubs, but a poor percentage could be their downfall. Joc’s, but Oakleigh were too good. Glen Eira can still sneak into fourth spot on the ladder but would need two wins in the Williamstown CYMS $1.70 v Ivanhoe Assumption AFC $2.05 remaining games to do so. They should be ready and firing A loss here for Ivanhoe Assumption will almost certainly see today but I expect St John’s to put up a good fight as they will them be relegated to D3 next season. Williamstown are in a know that they will most probably need at least one win to stay similar predicament but thanks to a superior percentage than in D2 next season. John Ryan is the key for the Joc’s. If he has its close rivals they will probably only need one win to stay in his kicking boots on then they are a chance. If not, then the D2 next season. Williamstown were outclassed by Aquinas, experienced Glen Eira on ball division should get the Saints going down by 99 points. Their cause was not helped when over the line.

UNDER 19 (1) go down to a Raiders side With just two rounds to go, the finals are sewn up for mine. The first wanting to make amends for week of the finals will be Xavs and De La, while Blues will play St last week. Paradians by 6 goals Bernard’s unless Rupo can pull off a miracle in Round 18. out in the Sticks. Review [email protected] De La Salle held a previously strong Blues to just two majors in a fine performance away from home. Josh Oakley and James Crowe were best UNDER 19 (3) for the victors. BV bobbed up for win number three, downing St Kev’s. Review With the wooden spoon now firmly out of reach, BV can concentrate on It was party time at the Bennettswood Sports Ground as Emmaus St. rebuilding and have made a solid start to life in Division 1. Josh Iezzi Leo’s recorded their first and only win by one point. Wild scenes of snagged five and was best afield for BV. Game of the round, battle for jubilation followed as Emmaus held off Old Essendon in a tense finish, that prized fourth spot saw St Bernard’s creep over the line against a game that was all about pride for both teams. Old Essendon looked in Rupo. Super win for the lads who were well served by James Viney with control with a nine point lead at the last break, however, the likes of six and David Mitchell who was consistent all day. In other games Old Mark Needham with 5 goals and Anthony McCann with 3 got Emmaus Xavs stamped premiership favouritism all over their forehead by home for that satisfying first win. Daniel McGorry with 4 majors was smashing Old Scotch and Marcellin gathered their best win for the year best for the gallant Old Essendon. All of the other games went as against Collegians. As a famous coach once said, “a meek and insipid predicted as Old Ivanhoe defeated La Trobe with Michael Costanzo best performance”! Preview Match of the round across at TH King sees first (Old Xavs) play fourth McKINNON (St Bernards). Should be a game not unlike a final, with Old Xavs likely SPORTS MEDICINE to run rampant and assert yet more authority on a luckless opposition. SHARPSHOOTERS – U18 Over at Waverly, De La will be hoping to claw back the 70 percentage points they trail Xavs, by smashing Old Scotch. Expect to see a fight by NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL the Scotchies, but it’s the home team for me. Uni Blues will be up for a UNDER 19 (1) confidence boost against “wooden spooners to be” Collegians, at Harry Trott. Should be a blood bath, one that Blues really need to smash. In Benson, Richard OLD XAVERIANS (1) 4 71 other games Marcellin will thump St Kevin’s and Rupo to draw equal Slattery, Thomas OLD SCOTCH 2 38 with St Bernards with a win against BV. The lock - Lock of the week Freo Kelly, Luke OLD XAVERIANS (1) 0 36 to beat St Kilda under 39.5. Good to see plenty of nice ponies back in Houghton, Scott UNIVERSITY BLUES 0 32 action this weekend. Lets boot Lad of the Manor home to take a clean UNDER 19 (2) sweep of the majors this coming spring. Happy punting! Hillier, Caine OLD CAMBERWELL GRAM’S 4 55 Under 19 (2) Bull, Marshall OLD CAREY GR 5 54 Carey disposed of its only threat by 33, ending Parade’s 6 game winning Solomon, Marcus OLD PARADIANS 3 49 streak in a highly spirited contest. Both sides showed great skill, holding O'Meara, James WHITEFRIARS OC 5 46 strong marks at either end. But the Panthers ran harder, ensuring Bull UNDER 19 (3) (5) and Smithwick (5) first use. Joel Newnham (3) in the guts and Bodinnar, Mitch ST BEDES MENT. TIGERS 0 73 Parker down back were solid, while Barry and Khoury were strong for the home side. The Blacks have officially dropped off the map, going Ellis, Kyle OLD IVANHOE GR 1 64 down to the Fielders by 51, obliterating any finals hopes. The win was Barrand, Lee OAKLEIGH AFC 7 62 essential for Caulfield as it has edged the Fielders one step further from Costigan, Daniel OAKLEIGH AFC 4 41 relegation. The T’s came close against the Sharks going down by 9, with UNDER 19 (BLUE) Beaumaris also fighting to stay in Section 2. The OM’s move back into Bogar, Nicholas MAZENOD OC BYE 68 2nd with a 25 point win over the Friars, but will need a bit more in 3 weeks time. Finally the Wellers have written their name next to 4th spot. Johnson, Rhys OLD HAILEYBURIANS 1 42 Belting 5th placed Brighton by 48, Camberwell’s percentage keeps them Davis, Stefan MAZENOD OC BYE 40 safe, even if they do lose the last two. Hillier kicked another 4 (a quiet Kovarik, Adam DE LA SALLE OC 0 32 day by his standards) while Poynton (2) was best. This week Brighton UNDER 19 (RED) need to belt Trinity by a chunky margin to have any hope, but must rely Lee, Thomas OLD XAVERIANS (2) 1 57 on the Wellers losing. Tonners by 45. The Students host the Wellers and going on form, Camberwell would surely change Uni’s hopes of finals to Voglis, Peter BULLEEN TEMP. AFC 9 51 fears of relegation. OM would have eagerly been awaiting their re-match Ligris, Christopher FITZROY REDS 4 43 with the Sharks after Round 8. Melburnians will square the ledger, Monaco, Nathan KEW AFC 4 42 winning by 5 goals. The Panthers will have no trouble against the “-” results weren’t received. Any discrepancies may be due to non- Fielders, with Marshall Bull back in form. While the Friars will gallantly submission of results by clubs.

By 3/4 time the game looked to belong to Preview Bulleen Temp, 39 points up. Perhaps it was complacency or end of season jitters that allowed the Lions to come home with wettest sail ever A finals atmosphere will greet all and sundry at Mentone Reserve this seen. Matt Costello (6) and Robertson were pivotal in the comeback. Saturday as the mighty St. Bede’s Mentone take on fourth placed The post game felt more like a Therry win as the home side sang the Ormond. Last time they met, SBMT held on to a thrilling two point win song, the Bullants drove home disappointed. The two points to Bulleen and they have been nearly unstoppable since. SBMT have added Francis Temp put the Westies out of contention, even after their narrow 10 point to their already formidable forward line and Ormond will be up against win in Sunbury. It was a game of 2 halves with Westbourne dominating it away from home this weekend. SBMT should take the points but both the 1st and Rupo the 2nd. Plecher (7) and Whyte (6) delivered the teams will be playing off in the finals so final ladder positions is what is visitors the 4 points, while Lovett kicked 7 for Rupo. The Xavs won, but at stake. Old Ivanhoe travel to Old Essendon and should have little must have been aiming at the behinds, kicking 13-24 against Kew. Goal- trouble leaving with the points while Oakleigh will defeat Ajax without kicking practice Thursday night, boys. While the Reds took care of the too much trouble. Tough match to pick a winner with Bentleigh hosting Old Saints by 8 goals. Beech (6), Ligris (4) and Olarenshaw were best La Trobe, with both clubs struggling mid-table for most of the season. on the day. Special thanks to Fab. La Trobe are probably travelling better, but I am tipping Bentleigh With two games to go, I can’t see much changing. Likely Wooden because they are playing at home. Emmaus will be on a high after Spooners, NOBSPC host Xavs at Alec Gillon. Visitors should take it, winning last week and are some chance against MHSOB, but surely because if they don’t they lose 3rd. The Aquinians who haven’t lost since Round 5 host Westbourne and I can’t see the streak ending this week. MHSOB won’t drop this game at home. All reports to Aquinians by lots. Therry will be wanting to continue last week’s final [email protected] by 5pm Monday. quarter into the clash with Kew and should account for the lack-lustre home side. After not leaving Sunbury for a couple of weeks, the UNDER 19 (BLUE) Woodsmen will travel to W. T. Peterson Oval and be met by onslaught Review of Red. Fitzroy by 46 points. Bulleen Temp put their feet up before finals. De La took on the might of Old Haileyburians on the weekend, however, [email protected] a tough assignment got tougher on Saturday morning when two players were late withdrawals as well as their ruckman going down injured in TODAY’S U19 MATCHES the first quarter. The two teams went blow for blow for much of the game and for De La to be in touch at _ time was a fantastic effort. Adam UNDER 19 (1) McKenna continued his great form for De La and the usual suspects of St Kevins OB v Marcellin OC Daniel Reid and Tom Kovarik also had big games. A big effort from De La Salle OC v Old Scotch Simon Edwards who took his demotion from the Blues very well and Collegians v University Blues worked hard all game. The 31-point victory to Old Haileyburians was Old Xaverians (1) v St Bernards hard fought with Nicolas Criticos in everything and Nicolas Bourke Banyule-Viewbank v Rupertswood AFC kicking 5 goals. In other games, Old Mentonians nearly kicked UNDER 19 (2) themselves out of a win by booting twenty behinds from twenty-six shots on goal, falling over the line by only 9 points against mid-table Old Carey Gr v Caulfield Gr Monash Blues. John Thompson was best for Old Mentonians, however, Old Melburnians v Beaumaris FC they will be happy to just take the four points and start thinking about Old Brighton Gr v Old Trinity Gr next week’s game. Luke Jackson’s six goals helped Powerhouse/Sth University Blacks v Old Camberwell Gr Mornington haul itself off the bottom of the ladder with a big win over Whitefriars OC v Old Paradians Parkdale, while Oakleigh Clayton forfeited against Hampton. Mazenod UNDER 19 (3) had the bye. Bentleigh v La Trobe University AFC Preview Old Essendon Gr v Old Ivanhoe Gr It is possibly the ‘Grand Final Preview’ this Saturday at Central Reserve MHSOB v Emmaus St Leos OC as a refreshed Mazenod take on Old Haileyburians. Mazenod struggled St Bedes Mentone Tigers v Ormond AFC last time against the powerful Old Haileyburians outfit, a team that Oakleigh AFC v Ajax AFC hasn’t dropped a game all season despite some tough affairs. De La UNDER 19 (Blue) pushed them last week but this is a team that does enough to win when it has to and I believe they will beat Mazenod in a classic clash away Parkdale Vultures v Monash Blues @ 9.15am - from home. Bring on the Finals!! Old Mentonians were due for a Frearson Oval, Monash University lacklustre performance after such a red-hot season, however, they did De La Salle OC v Powerhouse/Sth Mornington enough to win last week which shows they are a quality unit. While they @ 11am Waverley Park will have to have plenty of goal kicking practice at training, they should Mazenod OC v Old Haileyburians @1.30pm be too good for Hampton at home. De La host a rejuvenated Old Mentonians v Hampton Rovers AFC @ 1.30pm Powerhouse/Sth Mornington at Waverley Park at 11.00am and a win UNDER 19 (Red) this week will guarantee a finals spot. With a number of players to Bulleen Templestowe - Bye return, confidence is high at De La and they should win this game Fitzroy Reds v Rupertswood AFC without too much trouble. Monash Blues should have another win Aquinas OC v Old Westbourne against Parkdale this Saturday in their ‘dew-kicking’ 9.15am start at Kew AFC v Therry Penola OB Monash on Saturday. All reports to [email protected] by 5pm North Old Boys/St Pats Col v Old Xaverians (2) Monday.

History could be on Section 3 their side as Monash do not have an enviable finals First Semi Final record. However they do now have a very even side, Old Trinity turned this match into a goal “fest” as most of who can be relied upon to lift the side.
