St Paul's McKinnon JFC Newsletter

From the President June 16 2013

Here’s what I’ve learnt over the last few weeks:

• We have some amazing, hard-working families at our club • There is no casual comment when it comes to “diversity” • Some of our coaches are truly mad

Let me expand …

On Sunday June 9th, yep that’s the Queen’s Birthday Sunday that most sensible people enjoyed either away with a camp fire, or as time with their family on a beautiful winter’s day – we were privileged and proud to host the U13 Interleague Carnival at McKinnon Reserve.

What a fantastic day – the club spirit was evidenced from 7.30am through to 4.00pm when the matches had finished and we closed up the club after a very rewarding day. Rewarding financially – certainly – we kicked butt with the sausages, drinks, lollies, egg / bacon roll sales; rewarding wise –with both SMJFL rep teams being victors on the day and our own Tom Fogarty starring in the Division 1 team; but most rewarding was the volunteerism and tireless efforts of many families who helped support the day set- ting up, behind the canteen, on the BBQ, making numerous trips to the supermarket,keeping the amenities well serviced, or packing up.

When I say families, I mean families with children supporting their hard-working parents. Thank you to the Andersons, Behnks, Bradys, Byrnes, Campbells, D’Amicos, Dunlops, Eckersalls, Fogartys, Forers, Hartneys, Hughes, Jacksons, Kennedys, Kielys, L’huilliers, Lloyds, Rocket and …. (I sincerely hope I have captured eve- ryone involved)

Our role and efforts were acknowledged publicly by Tim Marshall, the SMJFL Div 1 coach, at an after-game social event, who signalled out the St. Paul’s McKinnon footy club for the wonderful day. He spoke about how smoothly the day ran in terms of organisation, the facilities and the catering. He talked about how he arrived at the ground early (or so he thought), only to find a swarm of St. Paul’s McKinnon people already in full swing. He said it was very impressive. A very proud day for our club!

The second thing I’ve learnt follows on from the McGuire gaff – and whilst I am not about to “pot” Eddie as he is such a public figure and target for his mistakes, what resonated with me is that when it comes to race, religion, colour, or any form of “difference” there is no such thing as a casual comment. The League, off the back of the very high profile incidences of that week, sent a reminder to all clubs about the league policies and by-laws in place in our competition – we have included them in this version of the newsletter for you to review, and indeed our club will be undertaking some short educational sessions using League provided resources with some of our older age teams this season, and continue these sessions next year as well as per the League’s commitment outlined in this policy.

Finally, a comment on some of our “mad” coaches. Over and above the usual madness they exhibit, what were they thinking training last Wednesday night?! Whilst we wrapped up the team photographs in the social rooms, some teams were out there in sub-arctic conditions – training the house-down. I did notice that some of the ‘older’ coaches were wise enough to send their kids home … LLoydy and JP?

Enjoy this weekend’s round of matches as we start to move into the back end of the season. Keep enjoying your footy and have fun!

Go Demons

Chris

ATTENTION ALL PARENTS

Thefts from motor cars and club change rooms have been reported to police in your club’s area over recent weeks. Police would like to request your assistance by asking you to make sure that all valuables are removed from your vehicles and all doors locked prior to leaving the vehicle at all times on game days.

Many of these offences are being committed by persons who are simply trying the door handles of all vehicles and stealing whatever they find inside. In the vast majority of cases if the vehicle is locked the offenders are moving on to the next vehicle.

Items including computer laptops, sunglasses, loose change, mobile telephones and anything which another person might find to be of any value, be that minor or expensive, have all been targeted in recent times.

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP YOU

Remove all valuables, lock your car and don’t leave valuables in the clubrooms during games!

Ben Burke U15 Brad Dolan U15 Tom Gamble U15 Message from the SMJFL re Racial and Religious Tolerance Policy Further to the racial incidents that have taken place during the past week within the AFL, I would like to take this opportunity to reinforce the SMJFL Racial and Religious Tolerance Policy.

SMJFL has in place a Racial and Religious Tolerance Policy that can be found in Appendix 13 (pages 94-99) of the SMJFL By-Laws.

As part of the Policy, the commitment is as follows:

1.1. The SMJFL is committed to an environment which promotes racial and religious tolerance by prohibiting certain conduct and providing a means of redress for victims of racial and religious vilification and/or racial discrimination.

1.2 The SMJFL is bound by the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 (Vic), the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth), and the Equal Opportunity Act 1995 (Vic) (“the legislation”). This Policy is consistent with, but does not substitute for, the legislation.

1.3 The SMJFL shall use its best endeavours to ensure that this Policy is communicated to all spectators and participants, and that Member Clubs receive anti-racial and religious vilification and racial discrimination training on an annual basis.

1.4 Nothing in this Policy prevents a person lodging a complaint in relation to racial and religious vilification and/or racial discrimination under the legislation.

1.5 Where a complaint is made under this policy the SMJFL shall ensure that the parties are informed of their rights.

Should you have any questions about the Racial & Religious Tolerance Policy, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly to further discuss.

MATCH RESULTS June 16

TEAM ‘KIAMA LANDSCAPES AND POOLS’ - U9’s COLTS St.Pauls McKinnon 4-5-29 lost to St Peters 10-7-67 Goal Kickers: David, Connor, Jake, Luke H Best Players: Lachie Teal, Jake Grima, Ron Golombick, David Valavi

We were caught napping early doors and St. Peter’s raced away to a two goal lead after 3 minutes and things looked grim. The boys knuckled down, however, and stopped the flow with Ron, Luke L, Paul and Charlie Bell. The second quarter was a pretty even performance with a solid effort from Jake, Matt, Jesse and a snap from 30 metres by Connor which could be Goal of the Year! After half time, the game opened up and St. Peter’s got on top again, but we didn't give up. Aiden made the steal of the century, Jake played another great quarter and the Callum S and Callum H did a great job too. We held them in the last quarter with Pricey, Dylan and Paul playing well but Lachie played his best quarter this year, taking three marks. Steve Lloyd

TEAM ‘COMPOSITES CONSTRUCTIONS’ - U9’s St.Pauls McKinnon 9-9-63 defeated Waverley Park 4-6-30 Goal Kickers: Jack Scherer 3, Alex Campbell 2, Noah Spitz, Jess L’Huillier, Jack Behnk, Lior Hadari Best Players: Scherer, Jones, Kato, Halbish, Mokotow, Palumbo

We had our first taste of Home Oval No.2 and in the first quarter had a little bit of trouble with our radar kicking 2.4 to lead by only two points despite dominating the clearances. The second quarter was our best for the season with the previously unbeaten Waverley Hawks being held scoreless while we piled on 6.4 putting the result beyond doubt. Jack Scherer continues to remind me of my boyhood heroes. He led like Dunstall and snapped like Matthews in an electrifying quarter yielding 3 goals. Sam Jones was responsi- ble for us leading at the first change with great attack on the ball and reading of the play of half back. He continued the good work on the ball and up forward in the next two quarters before having a well earned rest in the last. Ryoma Kato continues to improve each week and was unlucky not to have his first goal after outpointing his opponent. Lachlan Mokotow and Oliver Halbish worked hard all day and typified a great team performance. William Palumbo always put pressure on his opponents and won the ruck when given his chance in the third quarter. Congratulations to Jess L’Huiller on the first goal of her career. Paddy Moore

TEAM ‘LOOKING 4 CARS’ - U10’s EAST St.Pauls McKinnon 9-6-60 defeated Brighton East Vampires 4-5-24 Goal Kickers: Luke Natsikas 3, Craig Stewart 3, Austin Kelly 1, Finn Sullivan 1, Perry Robinson 1 Best Players: Craig Stewart, Luke Natsikas, Perry Robinson, Thomas Murphy, Jack Smith

After a long weekend break the team was fired up; having played Brighton East on their home ground our team was determined to give the opposition a run on the full size field and chalk up a win. The first half was demonstration of how far the boys have progressed this season with both their skills and their teamwork. There were great displays of marking and handballing from all and the score at the long break of 6 goals 6 points was an excellent demonstration of the boys playing together as a team. Brighton East pushed back in the third quarter to score 2 goals to our 1, however this was not going to be enough to turn the game. In the fourth quarter Perry Robinson kicked what could well be the goal of the season - many parents reported it started at the centre square with a huge kick, and then bounced, and bounced again, and again for a brilliant goal! Both Craig Stewart and Luke Natsikas performed extremely well in the goal square with three goals each. All the boys should be congratulated for their contribution to the team this week and it is fabulous to notch up our first win in Division 1. Go Demons!!! Katherine Smith

TEAM ‘CTJ CONSTRUCTIONS’ - U10’s SOUTH St.Pauls McKinnon 8-8-52 drew with East Brighton 8-8-52 Goal Kickers: Jack Forer 2, Jacob Horvath 2, Liam Walsh 2, Jules Goldenberg 1, Adam Stikoltzik 1 Best Players: Liam Walsh, Sam Bonham, Max Fackovec, Pat D’Amico, Daniel Zhang, Ohad Lupo, Adam Stikoltzik, Jules Goldenberg Wow what a game! After having to wait until 3.00pm for our match to start, everyone had spent a fair bit of nervous energy prior to the game. The game was pretty tight early on with our opposition kicking three goals, however we responded well through some good play and scored two of our own. In the second quarter Liam continued to break lines in the middle and had two goals to half time along with Jack who as always was using the ball well. Our back line of Pat, Dom, Sam and Max was working well together and held firm to bring us within a point at half time. The third quarter was tough and East Brighton took their chances with some long goals on a short ground scoring three more goals. However, Adam was creating opportunities at our end and scored a goal taking us in to the third quarter break 13 points down. At the huddle some inspirational words imploring the kids to lay their bodies on the line had them ready to run through walls. Ohad and Daniel left some bruised and battered bodies in their wake and Jules, after being moved into the forward lines, was wreaking havoc scoring a goal to give us a sniff. Jacob left his mark on the game scoring his second goal with two minutes to go, and we were within a point. Through sheer desperation the ball was moved forward one last time, where Jack had a snap from the boundary line tying the scores up with mere seconds to go. The kids showed their never say die spirit, making all the parents proud even if they had no fingernails left. Sammy G.

TEAM ‘SOUTH EAST ACADEMY OF MARTIAL ARTS’ - U11’s St.Pauls McKinnon 1-7-13 lost to Murrumbeena 7-6-48 Goal Kickers: N Paizis Best Players: J Tranter, J Canning, M Van Doorn, N Paizis, L Moore, J Nowell This week we travelled to take on Murrumbeena on their small No. 2 ground. Unfortunately the small spaces take away one of our key strengths of running and sharing the ball. Even so the boys competed ex- tremely well restricting the opposition's score with some great defensive efforts. We look forward to getting back onto the bigger grounds for the remainder of the season. Go Demons. Stephen Canning

TEAM ‘WILL’S BATCH’ - U12’s St.Pauls McKinnon Goal Kickers: Best Players:

Match Report not available sorry

ST.PAUL’S-ORMOND MASHERS U12 GIRLS St.Pauls Ormond lost to Malvern Goal Kickers: Maddie 3, Grace 1 Best Players: Maddie, Grace, Lara, Millie, Imogen

The Mashers started well against a very strong Malvern side, kicking the first goal and leading for most of the first quarter. Players showed great accountability on their opponents stopping them from getting loose. Maddie in ruck proved a mobile option leading into the forward line and kicking a goal. Malvern kicked away in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but in the last quarter the Mashers fought back kicking 3 goals and keeping Malvern goalless. Maddie kicked another 2 goals and Millie provided some great drive out of the back half. Michael Scammell

TEAM ‘MORTGAGE CHOICE’ - U13’s St.Pauls McKinnon 6-10-46 defeated St Bedes/Mentone 5-6-36 Goal kickers: Jones 2, Fogarty 2, MacDonald 1, Kennedy 1 Best Players: Tom Fogarty, Luke Egan, Benji Gore, Max Kennedy, Daniel McDonald, Callum Jones

We came into the game with just 2 wins for the season and faced St Bede’s who were 3rd on the ladder. We had lost some close games and were pumped to do well. We started brilliantly with the first clearance and goal after just a few seconds. Then it was a dog fight all day. With just 3 points between us at half time, the 3rd qtr was tense with both backlines under enormous pressure. We managed 4 points to St Bede’s 3 for the qtr. Our lead was 5 points at 3 qtr time. St Bede’s kicked a quick one early in the last to pinch the lead. We had worked too hard all day to let this one slip. We kicked another couple to take the match by 10 points. A rewarding and confidence boosting victory after losing a few close ones recently. Well done to all involved. Nick Fogarty

TEAM ‘CHOICE FINANCIAL ADVICE’ - U15’s St.Pauls McKinnon 17-19-121 defeated East Sandringham5-4-34 Goal Kickers: Dolan 4, Ewart2, Hutton 2, Cameron 2, Strudwick 2, Williamson, Faragher, Hughes, Gamble, Guy Best Players: T Gamble, B Dolan, B Burke,J Milhuisen, T Strudwick, M Faragher After nearly 4 weeks without a game, our boys finally managed to get on the park. We started a little rusty and ran out the cobwebs by kicking 4 unanswered goals in the 1st quarter. The result would have been a bit different if we didn’t waste our opportunities with 8 careless behinds. The 2nd quarter was a lot better with our boys running into a slight breeze. We again managed 4 unanswered goals to go in at half time with a 10 goal lead. With Coach Lewis calling the shots, our boys have never seen so many rotations. We were having 5 changes every 5 minutes giving the boys a chance to play in unfamiliar positions on and off the bench. This will only help our cause leading up to the Business End of the season. With a different look- ing team, the boys came out and again dominated the play. There were many passages of play that even the Demons could not get right this year! At 3 quarter time we were comfortable leaders by 70 points and the boys were hungry for more. Our 100 game boys Tom Gamble, Brad Dolan & Ben Burke were put on the ball for the last quarter. All their years of wisdom showed out as we piled on another 5 goals to 3 to again win the quarter. We ended up convincing winners against the Bottom Team, Remember; it will get harder as we take on the leaders in our division in the coming weeks. Glen Clarke

TEAM ‘BRENDAN NOBLE’S FURNITURE RESTORATION’ - U16’s St.Pauls McKinnon Goal kickers: Best Players:

BYE

U17’s St.Pauls/Bentleigh/Murrumbeena 6.6 42 lost to Ajax 9.8.62 Goal Kickers: J.Hunter 2, C. Smith 2, B. Wilson, J Skalamera Best Players: S Spanopolous, B Weymouth

We had plenty of the ball and our aggression and commitment to winning the ball was providing us with great forward pressure. Unfortunately we failed to capitalise on our hard work. We had John Hunter, Bryce and Brodie playing strongly in the forward line and Dom, Ben and Joel working in the back half to stop the quick ball movement of Ajax through the midfield. Although we were only one kick behind for the entire game we started the last quarter with desperation and desire as we peppered the goals - needing to snag the first major we dropped our heads after the ball smacked into the goal post and Ajax pounced with 2 quick goals to snatch victory in a game played with great spirit from both sides. We still have plenty to pay for and a spot in the finals is still achievable - c'mon demons/dees/lions Mark Brown Coach: Peter Scarfo Assistant Coach: Peter McPhee Trainer: Anthony Walsh Team Ma n a g s i e r d i : a K a m t o h h e T r

Rob gave a huge thanks and said that all the boys are welcome to come down and assist with the drills at any time. It is a wonderful link to have and we hope that many of the young Auskickers join our wonderful club in the future.
