THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER the JOURNAL of the VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION May 28Th, 2005 Price: $2.00 Vol VAFA RNd 7 05.qxd 30/5/05 8:02 AM Page 1 Inside the VAFA The Big V Cometh! At this time of year, chances are the mystery gentleman sitting in the grandstand furiously scribbling notes is not an opposition spy or media scribe. At VAFA grounds from A Section to D4, selectors have been doing the rounds trying to formulate teams for one of four representative matches that will take place in the upcoming weeks. In two Saturday’s time (Queen’s Birthday), the VAFA takes on the Southern Football League for the Cystic Fibrosis Community Cup. Formerly known as the St Kilda Community Cup, it features players predominantly from C Section downwards with a sprinkling from A & B Section. Traditionally, the Amateurs have held the wood on their bayside counterparts, though they have always been tight games. George Voyage is looking for his fourth straight win over the SFL and says “there is a real winning feel among the group”. “We have a group of spotters and selectors who ensure that everyone is seen in action before selection”, Voyage said. “It really is a wonderful opportunity for the boys”. Although the side has been hit hard by injuries (particularly Al Parton, who has broken his arm), it will be strengthened by several A & B Section players, several of which (Mark Liddell, Pete Harrison and Andy Cultrera) have wreaked havoc on the SFL in years past. As a curtain raiser to the game, the VAFA has implemented a new initiative, a North v South Under 19 game, which will hopefully see each Under 19 team represented. Chris Bye (former coach of Therry and Old Essendon) and Adrian Connolly (Ormond) will coach the respective sides. The following day, the pick of our Under 23 players take to the field against the WAAFL in Perth in Game 2 of Australian Amateur Football Championships. Though last year’s result was an absolute rout, the Western Australian boys recently had a 17 point win over South Australia in a curtain raiser to the West Coast- St Kilda game and will be no easy beats. Old Melburnians’ James Beaumont is again expected to captain the side while Michael Barker (Haileybury) Dan Cullinan (Marcellin) and Cameron Purss (Old Xavs) are all in white-hot form for their clubs. Former Essendon and Brisbane defender Frank Dunell will coach the youngsters and says the wealth of talent in the Amateurs makes for some difficult selection decisions. “It has been a very difficult task at times but due to the outstanding talent that is available in the Amateurs” he said. “Our main objective will be to win the match but more importantly to ensure that our players have an enjoyable and rewarding experience”. Though the VAFA sides logically go in as favourites in these games, the boys from the VCFL may prove a harder nut to crack “ quick glance at the on July 17. The last time they met, in A photos that hang at Barooga, the Country boys won by 26 points Sportscover Arena though the Amateurs triumphed in the prior encounter at Sportscover Arena (2001). emphasises the calibre of Traditionally, the games pit the more players to wear Big V over physical, close-in style of the country team the years.” against the quicker, free-flowing game of the Amateurs. The VCFL side will coached by former Carlton star Brett Ratten, (who replaces Damien Drum, who in turn, replaced Rodney Eade) and is expected to feature a host of players with AFL experience. A win against the VCFL is doubly significant given that they draw their James Beaumont: 2004 U23 talent from competitions throughout the state and attract players on massive VAFA Captain - in white hot form. salaries. Whatever the case, the months of June and July invariably showcase the best that our competition has to offer. A quick glance at the photos that hang at Sportscover Arena emphasises the calibre of players to wear Big V over the years. Hopefully, like years gone by, the Amateurs can go three from three.

    AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009 THE NEW SEASON Most community football leagues around Australia kick off this weekend or immediately after Easter and NAB AFL Auskick Centres commence their programs in the next month. This newsletter focuses on a range of topics which are relevant to the commencement of the 2009 Australian Football season. PLAYING AND TRAINING IN HOT CONDITIONS The new season generally starts in warm to hot conditions and there is always a lift in intensity once the premiership season proper starts. Regardless of the quality of pre-season training programs, early games are usually more stressful and players and coaches should keep safety factors associated with high intensity exercise in warm conditions in mind – these include individual player workloads (use of the bench), hydration and sun sense. The following article by AIS/AFL Academy dietitian Michelle Cort provides good advice regarding player hydration. Toughen Up - Have a Drink! Why are so many trainers necessary on a senior AFL field and why they are constantly approaching players for a drink during a game? Obviously the outcome of not drinking enough fluid is dehydration. The notion of avoiding fluid during sport to ‘train’, ‘toughen’ or ‘adjust’ an athlete’s body to handle dehydration is extremely outdated & scientifically incorrect. Even very small amounts of dehydration will reduce an AFL player’s performance. Most senior AFL conditioning, nutrition and medical staff invest considerable time into ensuring the players are doing everything possible to prevent significant dehydration from occurring in training and games. The effects on performance are not limited to elite athletes.
