Umpires play a pivotal role in our great game & its incumbent on us as a club to support the growth of Umpire ranks so as to ensure our game remains fair & competitive. At our Club Night last Sunday, we were very fortunate to have AFL Umpire Michael Jennings share his insights into what it’s like to be part of an elite group of 32 AFL umpires who watch over all AFL matches each week. On behalf of the committee, I’d like to thank Michael & Adrian Fisher, Head of Umpiring from the MSJFL, who supported us at our Club Night last Sunday night.
Also at last Sundays Club Night, we celebrated our Players of the Month. Congratulations to all the girls & boys who were acknowledged for their efforts thus far & to our Club Sponsors, Marshall White, East Malvern Bendigo Bank, Malvern Sports & Physiotherapy Centre, Stockland & Sable & Pepicelli Orthodontists of Chadstone.

The regular intake of fluids is essential for sporting performance. Dehydration may impair the body’s ability to regulate heat and also lead to: • An increased body temperature • An elevated heart rate • Increased perceived exertion, causing more fatigue to be! felt • Reduced mental function including reduced skill level and concentration
All of these may be prevented by drinking regularly during exercise and justify fluid intake during exercise.
How much should athletes drink during exercise?
Every athlete is different in how much fluid is required during exercise. It is important to start drinking early during exercise and to drink small amounts regularly rather than large amounts in one go.
A rough volume of recommended intake is 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes, this will vary between athletes and according to exercise intensity.
To find how much fluid you require and how much you sweat, a good indicator is to weigh yourself before and after exercises. One litre of fluid approximately corresponds to 1 kg, therefore if you are 1kg lighter after exercise and consumed 1 litre of fluid you may have lost 2 litres of fluid.
What should athletes drink?
Beverages tend to be more palatable when cool, flavoured and contain sodium or salt. Sports drinks are ideal and also contain carbohydrates allowing refueling for energy during exercise.
Sports drinks stimulate fluid intake more than water, therefore if only drinking water do not rely only on thirst. Usually a combination of water and sports drinks are good for hydration.
THEREFORE to maintain hydration: • Drink regularly during the day and with all meals and snacks • Drink 200-600 ml of fluid before exercise • Begin drinking early into an exercise session and drink small amounts regularly • Sports drinks and water are the best options • Continue to drink regularly after exercise, monitor urine, it should be a pale yellow, if dark and not regular, you need to drink more

Team Co- captains – Cooney and Davis
It was a chilly start for the match. Before kick off, all players shook hands with the umpires for “Umpires Appreciation Round” – if we have no umpires there is no play.
1st Quarter Sharp got on top for the ball up but the Colts scored a quick goal to kick off the match. Highlights of the quarter included terrific running by Templeton and a magnificent kick from Sharp to Campbell for a goal. Morley’s speed down the wing had the Colts on the run.
2nd Quarter
With the ball down at the Colts goals, Battista put his body on the line for a great save and a big kick by Bowen resulted in Erez scoring. After a super clear out by Morley, Vesely kicked to Battista who marked the ball and then just missed for a point. Welsh got the ball out to Morley in the wing who was well supported by Bennie and Bartlett. At half time, the boys were down but far from out of the match.
3rd Quarter/4th Quarter
Vesely started well and hard tackling led to a free kick , who got the ball to Welsh who kicked to Morley for another goal for the boys. Hard running by Blaher, McKay and Templeton kept the boys in the game.
Although we lost, the boys played out the game strongly with great running by Templeton and Potter, excellent shepherding by Conney ,Hocking and Rose and strong tackling by Dietz. Coach McKay was really proud of the boys bumping, ripping, and hard running. EAST MALVERN JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB

1 st The Blues came into this game knowing the Jets Quarter were to pose a serious challenge. Coach Wazza asked each player to keep trying for the whole game, right through to the final siren. That’s not how the Blues played the first quarter. In fact, the Blues were so slow to start that the opposition had three scoring shots, two of which were goals, within the first 5 minutes. It was as though the Blues were still in their warm-up routine half-way through the first quarter. The Jets were first to the footy and using their talented midfield players well. At the end of the quarter Coach Wazza told the boys that from now on they had to run hard and be first to the ball. They had a job to do.

3 rd If the second quarter could be described as a Quarter “spirited fight back”, the Blues football in the third quarter was a display of great skill and teamwork. Everyone was running hard and protecting the ball carrier. The ball was being moved quickly into the forward line allowing the Blues forwards to dominate the quarter. The Blues were able to close down the opposition running players. Perhaps the best aspect of this quarter for the Blues was that the first three goal kickers were on the receiving end of clean, quick handballs from a teammate. If the ball entered the Jets forward line, the Blues applied enormous pressure, causing several turnovers. It was a superb quarter of football.

1 st It has been a difficult season for the U14 Blues Quarter so far this season and Sunday proved the same. Overwhelmed in size and weight each week, this week the Blues met the Bloods of South Melbourne. The Bloods are not the team of last year and have lost some of their best. Unfortunately this was not to help the Blues who were dogged but overrun. Early exchanges were even and there even seemed a risk the scores might be close. But the Bloods are excellent in the ruck (although our ruckman battled hard all day) and they eventually got a superior amount of ball and a few goals.

2 nd The best thing about the Blues is the fact that Quarter they can play good football. They have good skills and an appreciation of the structure of the game. They are selfless, team orientated and smart. When they have the ball, they can move it accurately and with skill. Those are the very reasons why they scored two goals this quarter. The first was by Fitzy, the sneak who was quietly lurking about the forward line when his smart action led to a goal. Mitch Bevan followed up with a goal that was a product of good teamwork downfield. It need not be mentioned that the bigger Bloods also got a few this quarter. EAST MALVERN JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB

Grinding football is the only way to describe the final quarter. Despite tired legs the Reds continued to show great determination across the field. Despite entries into our forward line we were unable to convert and were held scoreless in the final term. This however is not reflective of the endeavor shown by all.

Then the highlight of the quarter when the ever-improving Daniel Wigney did a Peter Daicos with an amazing snap that bounced its way through. Charlie Glasser was another who came into the game, taking a ripper mark and then displaying his confidence by having a bounce.
The second quarter was a slog as we struggled to convert. The highlight was a 12-possession 15 minutes from Sam Anderson with plenty of bounces included as he took on the Ormond lads. His partner in crime, James Halse, was playing yet another good game but in reality James rarely plays an average match. Oscar Richardson continued to present himself as his confidence develops.
The third quarter was when we broke the game open with Alex Alfie Lowe kicking the opening goal. Alfie added another after a towering mark and produced his best four-quarter performance this season. He also passed to Charlie Glasser who kicked truly. Riley Allis, Fraser Hood and Jasper Bruton all presented themselves which is all their coach asks. Keep working hards boys and it will come.
Jake Hamilton was a good example. His performance really improved with a couple of strong marks plus some good bullocking work in the ruck. In the fourth quarter Nick Allen started to come into the game while Chris Busetti produced a couple of his typically dashing runs. Ollie Harris finished the game with a big term , marking and passing to Charlie Glasser for another goal. Then EAST MALVERN JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB

So next week we play at Basil again against the other Ormond, and the better one, known as the Blues. We can win but need everyone to produce their best possible games, with boys such as Blake McLeod and Liam Melrose to get stuck into it. Both have showed they can really play so let’s see it this week boys. EAST MALVERN JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB
