Previously I had always been involved in club be in the stands picking sport and concentrated on the task of organising the teams for Saturday, football or cricket training at my club. Whilst I always the BBQ was fired up and tried to have a relationship with umpires on match day, the ever present sausage I generally didn’t give them another thought until the smell pervaded the atmosphere.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 14 CALLAN BUCKLEY (OLD BRIGHTON) Old Brighton on baller Callan Buckley is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 14 after his best on ground performance against St Kevin’s last Saturday. Callan has been a tremendous addition to Old Brighton in his first season with the club. This follows a couple of seasons at VFL level at Sandringham, including 7 senior games in 2005. He has been an outstanding clubman with his input and work ethic at training and on match days. His on-field performances have continued to improve during the season as he leads by example. Cal is strong around the packs - whether he wins the football himself or looks after his team mates with efficient blocking or tackling. He is a great runner and contestant and can be relied upon for a 100% effort. Callan has been a marvellous acquisition to Old Brighton and we look forward to on-going success and contribution from this talented player as the club looks to the B Section finals this year.

Ballarat will be hoping to make this back to back not made it to finals, they should congratulate premiership’s and will defiantly be the team to beat themselves on their performances so far and not be regardless of ladder standing. disheartened, as this can be used as a learning point for seasons to come.

This week will prove time for them to once again face off. This match up will for many to be the hardest for the season as pre-final most likely turn out to be an early grand final as both jitters begin to set in and teams see the end to their teams are sitting comfortably in 1st and 2nd spots. This season. game could go either way as both teams play very much the same game and will most likely turn out to be each On Oval 1 we have an early start with Port Colts 2, other’s hardest opponent. currently sitting in 3rd spot take on 4th spot Mambourin in third division. This game will start off the day with a Kananook 2 gets the bye and will progress into finals. great display of hard footy, where both teams will most Parkside’s future is not so clear they will be relying on likely being facing each other in the weeks to come some losses in a hope to get into the top four. during finals. Keep kicking...... Oval 2 will play host Ringwood and Broady 2 who are both out of the four but should not be deterred in Darcy Gallagher-Lyon thinking that this game is not worth winning, because (FIDA Exec) this writer does not know anyone who would want to finish the season on a low when the ultimate objective is to get out there, enjoy and hopefully have a win; good work on a tough season, boys. Proudly supporting FIDA

The next two games up are: Bulleen vs. Pt Colts 1 a game that could potentially go either way but Pt Colts should be too strong for the undermanned Bulleen team and tighten their ‘vice-like-grip’ on second division and are seen as being clear favourites to take the flag.

Broadmeadows 1 take on the Bulldoggers, in what should give the boys from the north a boost of confidence for the weeks to come as they overpower and overrun the undermanned Maribyrnong boys. Unfortunately Maribyrnong have found it hard this season as their numbers have been low, but still have that fire burning bright in their bellies and won’t go down without a fight until the final whistle has blown.

With Bullants. the top four settled, it comes down to ladder positions, so whether This week the Aquinians will have the Lions measure, edging closer to coaches start resting stars or players rest niggling injuries, only they Fitzroy at the top of the table. Kew won’t make finals but showed some would know. Both teams will probably hold things back and not show all fight against the Reds last week, showing they have enough to beat the their cards at once, however, a win in this game could be a massive Old Saints. 3rd and 4th play off as the Bullants host the Xavs in a rip- psychological advantage. Oakleigh won the first bout by 41 points but snorter, with both sides sporting even line-ups I’ll say Xavs by a couple. SBMT are a tougher unit at the moment and are playing this game in The Reds host the inform Westbourne fresh from a week off. This game familiar surrounds. This clash will be one for the “name a game” video will be a true indicator of the Westies chances to play finals, but I’m file and in a toss of the coin affair I am backing SBMT but only because positive of a Fitzroy victory. The Woodsmen will hang with the geese for it is at their home ground. In other games, Old Ivanhoe will beat a week and are likely to get off the bottom.

Four points separated the two Old Xaverians (1) v University Blues teams heading into the last quarter but the might of Old Haileyburians held on for an 8 point victory. Old Mentonians kicked poorly to register Banyule-Viewbank v St Bernards 7.20, however the pressure applied by Old Haileyburians didn’t allow for UNDER 19 (2) too many easy shots on goal. Bradley Dolman was prominent as usual, Old Brighton Gr v Caulfield Gr while Stefan Martin was super impressive in his performance. Matthew Beaumaris FC v Old Camberwell Gr Wilton was best for Old Mentonians, a team that put in a great effort Old Carey Gr v Whitefriars OC away from home and a team that I think will be a contender come the University Blacks v Old Paradians finals. Jayden Gilmour was everywhere in Oakleigh Clayton’s 20 point Old Melburnians v Old Trinity At Sportscover Arena win over Powerhouse/Sth Mornington, while Hampton held on to beat Friday Night @ 6.30pm Monash Blues with Nick Lyall continuing on with his stellar season. It was the Nicholas Bogar show at Central Reserve as the power forward UNDER 19 (3) kicked 11 goals to help Mazenod demolish Parkdale Vultures. Bogar can Bentleigh v Old Ivanhoe Gr start writing his acceptance speech for the Sharpshooter award for they La Trobe University AFC v Emmaus St Leos OC won’t catch him from here. De La had the bye Old Essendon Gr v Ormond AFC MHSOB v Ajax AFC Preview St Bedes Mentone Tigers v Oakleigh AFC A top four clash presents itself this weekend with the red hot Mazenod UNDER 19 (BLUE) taking on the well rested De La in the beautiful surrounds of Darling Hampton Rovers AFC - Bye Park. Mazenod, thanks to the efforts of Bogar, kicked a massive 29 goals Oakleigh Clayton v Monash Blues last weekend and will be extremely confident of taking this game away from home. De La have been travelling okay of late and the week’s rest Parkdale Vultures v Old Haileyburians will either have given them some time to regroup or it may have further De La Salle OC v Mazenod OC deflated them. The might of Mazenod should prove too strong for De La Old Mentonians v Powerhouse/Sth Mornington but it should be a tight game all day. It doesn’t get any easier for UNDER 19 (RED) Parkdale as they host ladder leaders Old Haileyburians who are coming Rupertswood AFC - Bye off a hotly contested game last weekend. Old Haileyburians will win Fitzroy Reds v Old Westbourne – McHale Stadium easily. Old Mentonians will get back on track after their minor hiccup last at 2pm round with an easy win over Powerhouse/Sth Mornington, while Aquinas OC v Therry Penola OB Oakleigh Clayton should be too strong at home against Monash Blues. Hampton has a week off. Bulleen Templestowe AFC v Old Xaverians (2) Send all match reports to [email protected] Kew AFC v North Old Boys/St Pats Coll

The Reds, South African bowlers must have felt in Colombo!!! who have been in second place all season now look like finishing third (again) Review Section 1 Section 3 Old Xaverians 2 never gave up against their taller and more Old Geelong had one of their better days when they outplayed experienced Old Xaverian 1 opponents. Their last quarter tenth placed Old Scotch to win by 28 points. Caulfield efforts were admirable as they outscored their more erratic Grammarians insured they will finish in fourth place by kicking opposition to go down by 21 points. Captain Nick defeating La Trobe University by 127 points. In a high scoring Rathgaber did well for the “Crocs” whilst Matt Higgins (5 game, Old Trinity insured a semi final appearance, with a goals) and Francis Indivino were best for the “Ménages”. St comfortable win by 59 points over Emmaus/St Leos. In the Kevin’s recorded a 50 point victory over St Bede’s / Mentone closest contest of the round, North Old Boys/St Patrick’s were Tigers. It was not all easy going for St Kevin’s who trailed well into the third quarter. Best for the improving St Bede’s / Mentone Tigers were Lynch, McNeill , O’Gorman and the McKINNON consistent McGraw. Once again straight kicking carried the SPORTS MEDICINE day for Old Scotch who, though depleted, cemented fourth SHARPSHOOTERS – U18 place with a 15 point victory over inaccurate leaders Prahran. This high standard match was a close contest throughout. NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL Scotch had good contributors in Dustin Addreley, Andrew CLUB 18 (1) Wilkinson and Wilson – Humphries.

Mt Lilydale should consolidate season, Fitzroy Reds defeated leaders Old Essendon largely second place with a comfortable win over Therry Penola, through gaining the early ascendancy .The Reds, who led by whose efforts are not matched by depth of talent. 26 points at the first change were only 7 points up at the final siren. Old Essendon’s best were Turner, Greco, Coach John Section 3 Rush and Podger (3 goals). In a final rehearsal, Old Trinity visit Fitzroy Reds. The Reds showed great form last week and are entitled to start Preview favourites. However Trinity are used to a big ground and will Section 1 certainly be in the contest. I expect a titanic struggle and select Old Melburnians could reshape the final four if they defeat the Reds purely for the fact they persist all the time and they Prahran. However judging from what I saw last week and the are playing at home.

I don’t see it happening as the big De La Salle team impressed last week and I believe they will win again. TODAY’S CLUB 18 MATCHES

Section 2 CLUB 18 (1) The final round in this Section is the promoter’s dream as the Old Melburnians v Prahran AFC outcome of three matches will determine who plays in next Mazenod OC v Old Scotch week’s First Semi Final. Fitzroy Reds want to regain the double Old Xaverians v University Blues chance whereas St Bernard’s must win and hope their desires are answered by two other teams. The Reds may be in a slump St Bedes Mentone Tigers v Old Xaverians (2) at the wrong time and St Bernard’s impressed last week with De La Salle OC v St Kevins OB a disciplined team effort. Their defence is strong and Luke CLUB 18 (2) Gallant is a focal point up forward. Despite the game being at Fitzroy Reds v St Bernards – At 2.00 pm Collingwood, I will take the punt and select St Bernard’s. (They W T Peterson Res. usually lose when I pick them!) Two of the season’s less successful sides Old Brighton and Marcellin meet at Brighton Mt Lilydale OC v Therry Penola OB Beach. Because they are at home, I select Old Brighton. Old Brighton Gr v Marcellin OC Collegians hold fourth place, which Whitefriars could take if Collegians v Whitefriars OC they defeat Collegians by at least thirty seven points and the University Blacks v Monash Blues other results go their way. Collegians, although not playing CLUB 18 (3) consistently each week, still have the advantage of playing at home and a healthy percentage break. Whitefriars, too are Fitzroy Reds v Old Trinity Gr – At 11.30am enigmatic and prone to errant kicking. I select Collegians to W T Peterson Res. win. In the academic match, University Blacks must defeat the La Trobe University AFC v Emmaus St Leos OC leaders, Monash Blues and hope other matches end in their Old Geelong v Caulfield Gr favour. The Blacks form is not consistent and the Blues Beaumaris FC v Old Scotch faltered two weeks ago and had a practice game last Saturday. Old Essendon v North Old Boys/St Pats Col – Despite the strangeness of the Crawford Oval, Monash Blues surely are the more talented side when judged over the season At Gillon Oval, Friday Night @ 7.30pm
