Josh Richmond was on fire up forward with 5 majors that perhaps could have been 10.

No across town to tackle Old Brighton who are very keen to cause to panic yet for the Lions, while the Blacks are maintain that vital double chance. OB are very well obviously a force to be reckoned with. Judd Lalich back organised at the moment and are giving their supporters in the side after a stint overseas was outstanding, Matt great value that will continue today as I’m sticking with Kempton led by example and kicked the winning goal, them to inflict yet another loss on Mazenod. and Anthony Evans also had a good one. Clint Harris, SKOB head out to Leura Road absolutely desperate for Marty Williams and Ben Robbins all good for Collegians, a win.

Both teams have had a similar run of form Banyule host Old Mentonians at R.J. Brockwell Oval.

Rupo for me. “shape the four”, while the Bears will look to end their lengthy losing run and try to climb out of the relegation zone.

SUPPORTS THE VAFA AFCA/VAFA COACH OF THE YEAR SENIOR COACH OF THE MONTH – JULY Peter Tyson – Hawthorn AFC Peter has been at the helm of Hawthorn Amateurs for 9 years. In that time Peter has tasted premiership success in 1998, grand final defeat on 2002 and led the club to their highest position in the VAFA in 2003 when they competed in D2 Section. Peter is not only the Senior Coach but also a stalwart of the club. Peter played over 300 games for Hawthorn Citizens in the now defunct South East Suburban League and was Captain Coach of the club in the 80’s. Hawthorn Citizens would later join with another local club to form Hawthorn Amateurs. In 2006 the club has been lucky enough to play most of their home games at Glenferrie Oval where they are currently undefeated. Hawthorn Amateurs lost 3 of their first 5 games but have not dropped a game since and are a firm premiership favourite in D4 this year.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 15 KELVIN BARNES (BEAUMARIS) BEAUMARIS forward Kelvin Barnes is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 15 after his best on ground performance against Mazenod last Saturday. Kelvin has come via Beaumaris’s strong Junior club program. He spent last year overseas and returned to Under 19s where his excellent form warranted promotion to the Seniors. As a half forward, Kelvin presents himself as a target, has good hands and hits teammates upfield. His enthusiasm to improve will see him in the gym over the summer to put on those extra kilos required for B grade. Kelvin’s game last week was highlighted by the amount of one on one contests he won and his left foot enables him to deceive his opponents, finishing off with three goals. Kelvin is one of the reasons why Beaumaris has been able to push for a finals position in B Section this year.

Greg Evans from Oakleigh by 28 points, and ultimately killing any Aquinas probably gets first shot at Wheeler today. It chance they had for the double chance in the finals. was only a 9 point margin in the favour of Aquinas Ivan Bobetic and Nathan Pirouet were good for earlier in the season, and I think they will have too much to play for today.

UNDER 19 (1) games. Camberwell, coz if they Pretty much as expected over the weekend. Only three games to go as don’t they’re in deep. The the finals edge closer– the business end of the season is here! Blacks should take care of Caulfield. Beauy will beat Trinity Review but not relegation, while the Match of the round saw top team and premiership favourites Old Xavs Friars will upset the douse Blues of any double chance hope. A comfortable twenty point Melburnians. Spinners’ Men vs Butch’s Men. With both sides in superb victory, the ever-reliable Benson booting four, while Alex Ross was form, it will again be a battle of the midfields, but I like Parade’s team adjudged best afield. Cracking game and sure to be an indication of an balance, so it’s the Raiders for me. [email protected] exciting finals series. Rupo put to bed any chance of Scotch extending their season. A five-goal win made easier by Brett Foley bagging four, UNDER 19 (3) alongside the in form Jarred Bradley. De La ensured the minor Review premiership was well and truly alive, beating Marcellin with The King is dead – long live the King!! Oakleigh have been dethroned by consummate ease. Adam Kovarik cracked a bag of eight for the winners the rampaging St. Bedes Mentone who now sit on top of the ladder. The in a fine individual effort. In other games, Collegians just failed against game at Mentone Reserve delivered the goods and then some as two St Kevin’s and St Bernard’s smashed BV (percentage could be the teams had a red-hot go in the highly anticipated clash. SBMT trailed decider come three weeks time).

Preview Easily match of the day sees the pits against Rupo at home. The winner McKINNON is sure to take home the prized last finals spot, with tough games SPORTS MEDICINE confronting both teams in the final two rounds (the home team plays SHARPSHOOTERS – U18 Xavs and Del La while Rupo have BV and Xavs). I’ll go St Bernards to all but snuff out a Rupo dream first year. University Blues play De La in a NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL possible preliminary preview. Not quite up to Xavs, this is the tester for UNDER 19 (1) the Uni boys. I’ll take them, but only on trust. Scotch should strip fitter for the run against raging Old Xavs. Look for them over longer distances Benson, Richard OLD XAVERIANS (1) 4 67 – I’ll take the favourite. In other games, Marcellin will take running Kelly, Luke OLD XAVERIANS (1) 0 36 down against Collegians, while St Kevin’s will relish the heavy track in Slattery, Thomas OLD SCOTCH 7 36 downing a miffed BV. Lock of the week goes the Cats. Stick with em and Houghton, Scott UNIVERSITY BLUES 3 32 plonk your hard earned over 15.5 points. Good luck to all VAFA teams UNDER 19 (2) today (especially the Blacks) Any feedback to [email protected]. Happy punting! Hillier, Caine OLD CAMBERWELL GRAM 6 51 Bull, Marshall OLD CAREY GR 3 49 UNDER 19 (2) Solomon, Marcus OLD PARADIANS 2 46 The Tonners give the Fielders and the Four a Rattle. Brighton confirmed O'Meara, James WHITEFRIARS OC 2 41 their challenge for September action, smashing Caulfield by 12 goals. UNDER 19 (3) Reported as the hardest team in the comp, Lyttleton’s men slammed on Bodinnar, Mitch ST BEDES MENT. TIGERS 0 73 14 goals to 2 after quarter time. Captain Betts dominated in defense while half-forward Ben Takle was best. The Wellers delivered a big win, Ellis, Kyle OLD IVANHOE GR 9 63 before their ugly run home, with an 89 point discombobulation of the Barrand, Lee OAKLEIGH AFC 0 55 Sharks.

The visitors were thanks to a 9 goal haul to Kyle Ellis, while Ormond had little trouble with complacent, not expecting a fast and physical onslaught, which saw the Old Essendon.

[email protected] UNDER 19 (BLUE) TODAY’S U19 MATCHES Review The game of the round saw us head out to Darling Park where the might UNDER 19 (1) of Mazenod took on the enigmatic De La Salle. De La opened the game Marcellin OC v Collegians with some very good running football and took an early lead, however, University Blues v De La Salle OC Mazenod worked hard to get themselves back into the game and at Old Scotch v Old Xaverians (1) quarter time they were only 2 points down. At the main break Mazenod lead by 5 points. In the second half Mazenod took the foot off the brake St Kevins OB v Banyule-Viewbank and put it onto the accelerator, scoring 10 goals to 4 in a vintage display St Bernards v Rupertswood AFC of football. Mazenod worked very hard for the win and their linking-up UNDER 19 (2) and run through the middle was explosive. Mazenod had 10 different Whitefriars OC v Old Melburnians goal kickers lead by Nicolas Bogar with 6 while Fredrick Deegan and Old Trinity Gr v Beaumaris FC Peter Stanley both put on polished performances. Adam McKenna was Old Paradians v Old Carey Gr best for De La. Old Mentonians swept aside Powerhouse/Sth Old Camberwell Gr v Old Brighton Gr Mornington, keeping them goalless after half-time, with John Caulfield Gr v University Blacks Thompson and Piran Gartner in the best for the home team. Old UNDER 19 (3) Haileyburians crushed Parkdale in a damaging display of football with Nathan Waite best afield with his four goals, while the upset of the round Emmaus St Leos OC v Old Essendon Gr saw Monash Blues thrash a disappointing Oakleigh Clayton. Old Ivanhoe Gr v La Trobe University AFC Ajax AFC v St Bedes Mentone Tigers – 12pm start Preview Ormond AFC v MHSOB No rest for the wicked as poor old De La face the rampaging Old Oakleigh AFC v Bentleigh Haileyburians. The game is being played at McKinnon Reserve which U19 (BLUE) certainly won’t help the situation for De La, who are facing their second Monash Blues v Old Mentonians loss in a row. Old Haileyburians should win by over 6 goals. Hampton Hampton Rovers AFC - Bye will continue on in their quest to finish the season on a high with a win over a disappointing Oakleigh Clayton, while an interesting clash Old Haileyburians v De La Salle OC between the two bottom teams presents itself when Powerhouse/Sth Powerhouse/Sth Mornington v Parkdale Vultures – Mornington host Parkdale Vultures. Parkdale won their Round 7 bout 11.00 Start with ease last time these two teams met, however, Powerhouse/Sth Mazenod OC - Bye Mornington are a different proposition at home and in a very tight affair, UNDER 19 (RED) I believe the home team should get the points and consequently get off Aquinas OC - Bye the bottom of the ladder. Monash buried Oakleigh last week in a very Rupertswood AFC v Old Westbourne surprising result last weekend, but they will come back to earth with a Old Xaverians (2) v Kew AFC thud when they take on the red-hot Old Mentonians at Monash Uni. Mazenod has the bye. All reports to [email protected] by 5pm Therry Penola OB v Bulleen Templestowe AFC Monday. North Old Boys/St Pats Col v Fitzroy Reds

In Round 9 Old First Semi Final (Central Reserve) Scotch Star Andrew Millar booted 7 goals and his team still Old Trinity enter this game against Caulfield Grammarians lost. Against this, De La Salle will miss the drive from forward in fine form with a decisive win over second placed Fitzroy Andrew Coffey, who has proven a dominant forward. I select Reds in round 15 and a meritorious win over Caulfield in De La Salle. round 13. It has been my impression the Caulfield Second Semi Final (Sportscover Arena) Grammarian players are suspect on a big ground. I have Prahran and Old Xaverians have met only once this season. seen them crumble against Trinity and Fitzroy Reds in The “Crocodiles”, who lost the game administratively, will be these circumstances. Central Reserve is nearly as big as all out to prove their superiority over Prahran, whose finals the Hudson Reserve, so the old Caulfield players could well form has been their “feet of clay” for several seasons. Prahran be too tired to chase late in the game. For Old Trinity, did not impress last week as their kicking at both ends of the Arrowsmith is a proven star up forward whilst Jonathan ground repeatedly missed the mark. Their star forwards, Cade and Sam Di Pasquale have hit form at the right time. Butterworth and Cartledge were often astray against Old Caulfield rely more on a team effort, which generally Melburnians. They must be on target for Prahran to be stands them in god stead.

Old Essendon test the Prahran stamina and with a four man bench Coach have lost twice; each time to Fitzroy Reds in matches that Anthony Lawrence will be restricted with rotations. Overall I have followed a pattern. The Reds have built an early lead, forecast victory to the Old Xaverians through running fitness each time and Old Essendon although cutting the margin, and depth of talent. has not been able to catch up. Providing Coach John Rush Section 2 can rouse his players to an early ascendancy, Old First Semi Final (Central Reserve) Essendon should go on to win. They have consistent Fitzroy Reds and Collegians have each defeated each other players in John Hughes, Luke Eddy and Sam. Evans. during the season.

I expect another close game and select Old Essendon for Collegians against Fitzroy have been Johnson, Gambaro to win. and Day. Add Perkov and Hains to the mix and it is easy to see Team Managers why Collegians are in with a definite chance. Over the season Thank you for your assistance. Please keep your details the Reds have the better record but they lost in round 14 (to coming by 1.00 p.m. Monday. Telephone 9467 2857 or e Collegians) and just won against St Bernard’s last week. Have mail [email protected] the “wheels” fallen off or are they just loosened? It has been the overall evenness of the Reds that has placed them in the TODAY’S CLUB 18 MATCHES top bracket. I know Collegians lost last week but they persisted and really did not have the hard match that faced the Reds. CLUB 18 (1) This selection is my gamble but I feel Collegians will just take 1st Semi-Final – 12th August 2006 the points. De La Salle v Old Scotch – Alec Gillon Oval, 11.20am Second Semi Final (Sportscover Arena) It is difficult to pick the winner here as each of the teams has 2nd Semi-Final – 13th August 2006 really thrashed the other this season. Since losing to Monash Prahran v Old Xaverians – Sportscover Arena, 2pm Blues by 99 points in round 4, Mt Lilydale has won 11 consecutive games. On the other hand, their 94 point loss in CLUB 18 (2) Round 13 has been Monash Blues’ only defeat this season. 1st Semi-Final – 12th August 2006 There are several queries regarding this game. How will Mt Fitzroy Reds v Collegians – Central Reserve, 11.20am Lilydale fare on the big ground? How will Monash fare in a final as finals have seen the worst of Monash many times. If 2nd Semi-Final – 13th August 2006 Batrouney and Coughlin win the ball in the centre and the Monash Blues v Mt Lilydale – boundary, Mt Lilydale defenders will be under unusual Sportscover Arena, 11.20am pressure. Conversely, the skill of the veteran Carolan, Rhodes and Roberts up forward will again present Monash with CLUB 18 (3) problems. Mt Lilydale come into this game from three 1st Semi-Final – 12th August 2006 consecutive one sided matches, which is not a good Old Trinity v Caulfield Gr. – Central Reserve, 2pm preparation for a final, where the pressure will be on. I know Mt Lilydale come into this game with an impressive record but 2nd Semi-Final – 11th August 2006 so does Monash, whose season’s form has been excellent. Old Essendon v Fitzroy Reds – Sportscover Arena, 7pm They are deserving of my selection, which I give them.
