Inside the VAFA VAFA RNd 6 05.qxd 20/5/05 9:59 AM Page 1 Inside the VAFA Men For All Seasons Here’s a few for you…Can you name the former Australian high jump champion (best remembered for berating a recalcitrant official at the World Athletics Championships and sporting a minitruckmullet) who lined up as a high flying forward for De La Salle a few years ago? How about the ex national 800m champion who is running around (and covering plenty of ground) for St Kevin’s Old boys in 2005? Or the World Championship rower, an eleventh hour omission from the Men’s’ Eight at the Athens Olympics, who is now one of the early favourites for the Woodrow Medal such is his form in the ruck for Old Scotch? If you answered Tim Forsyth, Paul Byrne and Cameron McKenzie-McHarg, take a bow. If there’s one thing you can count on in the amateurs, it’s footballers who are talented in a wide range of sports. When Caulfield Grammarians’ hard man and ex Sandringham “ f there’s one thing you premiership player Mark Frater completed the Canberra Marathon I can count on in the last month (in a tick over 3 hours) he joined a long list of VAFA amateurs, it’s footballers players who have tackled the ultimate challenge. Famously, a top flight amateur club in the 90s was faced with a 13 man omission list who are talented in a owing to commitments in the London marathon (one of whom ran wide range of sports.” the distance in a chicken suit). More recently, former Uni Blacks captain Rob Mackie recorded a 3.18 in the Paris marathon, together with team-mates Mick Staunton and Andrew Clement. Of course, cricket is the most logical sporting crossover and from Lindsay Hassett (Woodrow medallist in 1935/36) down, the link between VAFA and Victorian cricket has always been strong. In recent times Steve McCooke (multiple premiership star with Ormond and over 300 VCA games), Michael Sholly (Old Xavs), Geoff Allardice (Uni Blues) and Matt Galbraith (Woodrow Medallist & dual flag winner at Collegians) have excelled at both capers. Of the current crop, Clint Hillas (Old Trinity vice captain and North Melbourne cricket club mainstay) and Andrew Kent (a star with Old Carey in the ammos and an even brighter talent in the summer for the Melbourne Cricket Club and Bushrangers) are the two most notable players to double up. Not surprisingly, some of the power forwards of the amateurs were all talented at other sports. Marcellin big man Daniel Cullinan (Basketball), Scotch spearhead James Gerstman (rowing) and Haileybury’s Brett O’Farrell (high jump) all had to toss up between their respective sports and football. So too, did the monolith of the amateurs, Chris Efstathiou, who was a national shot put and discus champion before he took to terrorising reserve grade full backs. Then there are those amateur players whose alternate activities verge on the ridiculous. Former Uni Blues star Hamish Worsley was a noted flamenco (and opposed to flamingo) dancer while I am led to believe that Monash Gryphons’ resident funny-man and recent 150 gamer Chris Leeton is a talented circus acrobat. I’m sure there are dozens more examples so if you can think of any, jump on the email and let me know – [email protected]. (bonus points if you can come up with any boxers or triathletes). In terms of last week’s list, the following names were bandied about as unlucky not make the top 40…Al Parton, Glenn Cox, Nigel Credlin (repeatedly), Brent Walsh, Cameron Purss, Andrew Lowcock, James Hope, Brett Trollope, Judd Lalich and Matt Power. All very reasonable: Credlin was a big miss, Purss gets better by the week while Cox and Hope would have walked in if not for injuries.
