Your Club Volunteers… Damian Mannix

This is Damian’s sixth year at the Waverley Park Hawks, and in that time he has helped in a variety of roles. He’s been coach, assistant coach, runner, and ran the boundary line quite a few times for his son Thomas' team, who is this year being coached by Dave "the nickname generator" O'Neill in the U14 Brown team.

This year he has also found himself on the club's general committee, particularly helping out with maintaining a good relationship with the City of Monash. Damian says “It's interesting to see up close all the great work done by volunteers who have made this club the best in the league. It certainly gives all the players an enjoyable experience each weekend.”

Away from the club he owns a small business providing government relations and public policy advice to clients.

Along with Thomas and his wife Connie, we live nearby in Mulgrave where we have been since 2002 - a 100% Collingwood house, footy heaven!.

Round 9 Match Reports

Under 9 Brown Waverley Park Hawks 4.5.29 Defeated by St Kilda City 5.4.34 Goal Kickers: Josh Standen, Patrick Schmitt, Orlando Perri, Adam Saliba Best Players: Christian Galluccio, Nicholas Fischer, Herbie Fischbacher, Robert D’Assisi, Micah Tennent, Lenny Hickey Coaches Awards: Christian Galluccio, Nicholas Fischer, Adam Saliba Captains: Aditya Prabhu, Maxwell Prenpase, Seamus Taylor

Round 9 had the Under 9 Browns playing only their 2nd game for the season at our home ground Columbia reserve, we faced off against St Kilda City in crisp winter conditions, the ground was in immaculate condition considering the recent heavy rains. The game was played in good spirit, 2 evenly matched teams ran the ball from one end of the ground to the other, there was hard fought one on one contests all over the ground for the entire match. Our defense was tight, our midfield were better structured & our forwards presented well, making sure they kept moving to present an option at every forward zone entry. We put in place some of our drills that we have been practising at training which at one point resulted in us going the length of the ground uncontested, the coaching staff were extremely pleased to see it. St Kilda City kept up the ferocity, the lead changed hands a number of times throughout the day, with the Hawks at one stage holding a 9 point lead midway through the 3rd quarter. A number of players stepped up a level, Christian Galluccio read the play magnificently all day, Nicholas Fischer won contest after contest, Adam Saliba was working hard, Lenny Hickey was using his long kicking to our advantage & Cameron Foale was laying some quality tackles, Micah Tennent got involved, Sam Stone took some great marks, Reece Anderson was running everywhere. Patrick Schmitt kicked one of the goals of the season, playing on from long range, selling the dummy & running around the man on the mark & snapping from the pocket, something I know he has practised in the backyard & at Auskick for years! The last quarter was nail biting, St Kilda City had the lead at the last change & the boys threw everything at them, a snap from out of the pack in the last minute by Dylan Schmitt bobbled & bounced in all different directions & appeared to roll over the line to give us the lead, the boys celebrated, however the field umpire indicated it was touched off the boot, alas leaving us 5 points adrift at the final siren. We came up short however it was a great fighting effort by the boys. TOP OF DOCUMENT

Under 9 Gold Waverley Park Hawks 6.9.45 Defeated by Brighton Beach 7.3.49 Goal Kickers: Peter Damianos 4, Jordy H 2 Coaches Awards: Isaac, Tom Downs

A tight fought contest between two evenly match team saw a draw played out at Brighton Beach on Sunday. After a slow start in the first half, the Hawks finally found their feet in the second half and began closing the deficit after the main break. A great first half performance from Peter up forward keep us in the contest. Some great work in close by Isaac who dished off a couple of telling handballs in tight to set up a goal on one occasion and have the hawks off and running on another. Was pleasing to see the boys respond after a half time serve from the coach and lift to dig out a draw against good opposition. Also pleasing to see the boys trying to share the ball around a lot more and continue to look for an option rather than blazing away.

Keep up the hard work boys.

Aussie Events & Amusements Under 10 Brown Waverley Park Hawks 6.4.40 Defeated by East Sandringham 8.7.55 Goal Kickers: A.J – 4, Liam D – 1, Hunter – 1 Best Players: The whole team Coaches Awards: Zach Naroo Captains: Rhys Edwards and Jack Craig

This week the boys played at Lum Reserve against Bentleigh. Thanks again to Hunter and Jackson from the other under 10 team for playing an extra game, and welcome back Liam Doherty after 4 weeks away.

Our captains won the toss and WPH kicked with the assistance of the breeze. The boys took a little while to get going and in a very short period Bentleigh, a very tall and talented team, had kicked three goals. Half way through the first quarter the boys decided to up the temp. Zach led the way off the wing, Rhys, Oliver, Liam D, Tommy W and Harvey all lifted, and would not stop until they got the ball. The teamwork from the boys improved and in the forward line A.J, Tommy K, Blayke, and Jack gave it their all. The hard work of the boys resulted in a goal to A.J. Quarter time WPH 1.0 to Bentleigh 3.1. The second quarter seemed very even with the boys working hard to move the football forward. They were fantastic in their endeavours to be first to the ball. Tommy K was outstanding providing leads and then delivering the ball to the forwards. A.J and Harvey were fantastic in defence. Tommy W was working hard to keep the ball in the forward line. The play was very even but Bentleigh were able to take more of their chances and scored another four goals. Hunter got one late one in the second quarter. Half time scores WPH 2.2 to Bentleigh 7.5

The third quarter it all came together. Every player contributed, the defence was strong and the efforts of Xander and Enzo were great. Tommy W, Harvey, Will, Lochie and Guiliano were great in the middle giving lots of opportunities to Rhys, Jack, A.J and Liam. The efforts of the team were rewarded with A.J scoring three goals. Three quarter time WPH 5.4 to Bentleigh 8.5.

The boys continued their hard work in and kept Bentleigh goalless and finished with a goal to Liam D.

A fantastic effort by the boys, their best game of the year. TOP OF DOCUMENT

Thompson Security Under 10 Gold Waverley Park Hawks 3.4.22 Defeated Cheltenham 1.0.6 Goal Kickers: Taborsky 1, Traplin 1, McCusker 1 Best Players: Team Effort Coaches Awards: Luke Bassilious, Ashley Pensa Captains: Justin McCusker

This round saw the Under 10 Gold’s take on another new opponent in Cheltenham. They proved to be a very hard tackling and skilled side that were hard at the ball. The Gold’s however, were up to the challenge.

Our Captain for the day Justin, led up hard from Full Forward, and also kicked a pivotal late goal to seal the game. Justin seemed to thrive as leader. Hunter was back to his very best after an illness effected previous week and he again showed the way. Joseph had a good second half, after not much traffic at his end in the first half, and kicked us into attack. Kobi showed his customary dash and worked manfully in the Ruck for most of the day. Brayden again showed how you go and get your own ball, mostly from the bottom of a pack, Ash was a rock in the backline and took control really well and directed his mates decisively. Luke is starting to come of age and also got to lots of contests and played the small forward role well. Rhys was ever reliable, marked everywhere and delivered pin point passes in difficult slippery conditions and played with real vision.

One of the highlights was seeing Jake getting his own ball and he started to gather stats at both ends. A really pleasing part of the year so far. Lachie waged his own little battle with his opposite number, showing his normal tenacity and played his best footy on the ball. Jordan displayed great discipline and position play and gathered possessions at will as a result. Josh had a day out and is quickly establishing himself as a key running, link up player

through the middle. Thomas displayed some sensational overhead marking with a wet ball and saved the day on many occasions down back. Traps had a good game in the middle before performing a lone role up forward, in space, where he made the most of it and snapped truly when it counted. Nathan again won countless ‘one on ones’ and gave us first use continuously. He’s proving very difficult to move off the ball. Jack Mac moved into the midfield and ran the ball well and delivered to the forwards ‘lace out’.

A special thanks to Guilliano, who was fantastic in his ‘fill in’ role from the Browns. He fitted in beautifully, played really well and was a joy to have for the day. Thanks again.

The boys are being challenged each and every week now. To their credit, they seem to not only accept that fact, but actually welcome and enjoy it.

Gunn Electrics Under 11 Brown Waverley Park Hawks 1.5.11 Defeated by Brighton Beach 14.11.95 Goal Kickers: Maxx Utano Best Players: Josh Boyle, Nathan Buzza, Nicholas Palleschi, Ryan Dean, Ethan Parker Coaches Awards: Nathan Buzza & Ryan Dean Captains: Anthony Tan-Son & Adrian Cappello

The boys spent a lot of time this week chasing the opposition as we were really outclassed almost all day and something we have not been used to. Hopefully the last two weeks have been a reality check for them and they come out to play next week.

In the first three quarters the boys were caught out playing behind their opponents and not attacking the footy. At the stoppages we were sucked into the contest too much and when the ball came out the opposition had plenty of loose players everywhere.

Josh Boyle played a great game battling extremely hard all game but barging through packs and making a contest at every opportunity. His work in the ruck in the second quarter was excellent. Buzz was given a task in the third quarter to tag one of the opposition on-ballers who had been winning the footy at will. Buzz did an exceptional job clamping down really well on him and restricted his ball use considerably. Nicholas again used his strength and determination and busted open packs and dished off some good handballs. Flynn laid some great tackles and was unlucky to be not rewarded on a few occasions.

Being 95 points down at ¾ time the boys were challenged to keep their heads high and to not give up. I asked for a special effort from everyone to make the last quarter ours. To the boys’ credit they did exactly that. Ryan did extremely well in the ruck just about winning every ruck contest and gathered plenty of disposals around the ground. Josh Kolak battled hard all day in and under the packs and Maxxy took a good mark on the final siren and kicked our only goal. The boys ensured the ball hardly left our forward fifty for the whole last quarter and it resembled our normal football ability. It gives them something to take into next week.

Chin up boys and let’s have a big week at training.

Under 11 Girls Waverley Park Hawks 5.4.34 Defeated by Mordialloc / Braeside 9.7.61 Goal Kickers: Jordan -3 and Emma-2 Best Players: Sarah Carr and great team effort! Coaches Awards: Sarah Carr Captains: Jacinta

This week we were back at Le Page Park to take on Mordialloc / Braeside with a very strong north wind to contend with. Still with some players injured and some with illness, we had both sides play 10 per side.

Sarah Carr played an excellent game for us and is improving with every game and training session. She took a couple of very nice marks and then delivered strong kicks to her targets. We also saw some very nice ruck work around the stoppages! Well done Sarah!

The girls all played a great game for 4 quarters against a very good side! – Mordi/Brae used the wind a little better in the last quarter to win the match; it was a very even game in the first 3 quarters and a great match to watch. The last time we played Mordi/Brae we lost by about 17 goals so this result has been a big turn around for our team!

Tahlia - Thank you for filling in again this week!

Again our wonderful parent group filled all the duty roles required and they all did a great job! Some even provided light humour with a little bit of fishing - Thank you!

– Go Hawks!

Under 11 Gold Waverley Park Hawks 9.10.64 Defeated Dingley Dingos 1.3.9 Goal Kickers: Nicholas Montano (2), Bryson Cowie (1), Harrison Rogers (1) Charlie Peake (1), Reece Dakin (2), Thomas Taborsky (1), Brayden Allen (1) Best Players: Ty McIntyre, Wes Wieclaw-Suchomel, Charlie Peake, Deakin Harris, Harrison Rogers, Luca Marziale Coaches Awards: Ty McIntyre, Wes Wieclaw-Suchomel Captains:

Taking on Dingley this week was a test to see if we have improved from first time around. We got home by 2 or 3 goals in a good close game of footy. The season is now ticking away and each week we can see improvement which is encouraging. Our hard work at training is flowing to match day. The good thing about this game is we kicked 9 goals with 7 different goal kickers. We are now sharing the footy with our team mates and looking to hit our targets.

Wes and Ty were great leaders today and used their voices for encouragement. Everybody is playing their role in the team whether forward or back. Keep up the good work, we are on a roll. Go Hawks!! TOP OF DOCUMENT

Action Aluminium Under 12 Brown Waverley Park Hawks 0.4.4 Defeated by 1.9.15 Goal Kickers: NIL Best Players: Ben Heller, Lucas Perez, Marcus Cappuccino, Aaron O’Toole, Jack Claxton, Tristan O’Neill, Sean Kilgower Coaches Awards: Marcus Cappuccino and Aaron O’Toole Captains: Sam Fox and Caleb Jones

A very competitive game, we played hard footy for 4 quarters which was pleasing to see. We really pushed a top team to the limit, our defensive side of our game was excellent. We do however need to find a way to score. We are a bit like Melbourne in the AFL at the moment – very defensive. Who is going to put their hand up as our goal kicker? TOP OF DOCUMENT

Under 12 Gold Waverley Park Hawks 3.3.21 Defeated by East Brighton 5.5.35 Goal Kickers: Trent Thomas 1, James Mucha 1, Daniel Walklett 1 Best Players: Dale Argus, Austin Dean, Trent Thomas, Andy Lim, George Vasser, Daniel Walklett Coaches Awards: Daniel Walklett, Andy Lim Captains: Daniel Walklett, George Vasser

Top of the table East Brighton came up against what they thought would be the easy beats based purely on ladder position. All of our boys have improved from our round 2 clash and with the added confidence from last week’s game came to play with the same effort but a noticeable increase in hunger and courage. Kicking against a 3 goal breeze in the first quarter we kept East Brighton scoreless. Unfortunately we couldn’t capitalise in the 2nd quarter with the aid of the breeze and failed to apply scoreboard pressure. This time we played, there were no lapses in concentration simply a couple of mistake where we failed to run the ball across the goal line that resulted in goals. This was a real team effort, with an even effort spread across the group, the difference this week was the hunger, Andy Lim led the way with multiple fearless attacks on the ball and some outstanding tackling, George Vasser was composed and reliable in defence and we saw ‘Mr Smooth’ Daniel Walkett let his skills do the talking kicking his first goal for the club. Dale Argus has been reignited over the last couple of weeks playing another superb game from the rebounds out of the backline in the first quarter to his gut running and attack all day. The parents are all extremely proud of the way this under 12 team competes and with opposition teams approaching that think we are pushovers, we all have news for them.

Markese Hair & Make-Up Under 13 Brown Waverley Park Hawks 10.10.70 Defeated Dingley 4.1.25 Goal Kickers: Chris Pond 2, Fletcher Ford 2, Lachie Boyle 2, Daniel Marchese 1, Chayce Black 1, Chris Noone 1. Mitch Kohne 1 Best Players: Vincent Zagari, Lochie Jenkins, Jack Neil, Zach Fisher, Lachie Boyle, Daniel Marchese Coaches Awards: Lochie Jenkins & Fletcher Ford Captains: Zane Raydan – 50 games Golden Hawk Award: Kya Guatanga

A solid victory at home against Dingley for the Browns this week with an all round team effort and control of the game. Collectively the backline was very strong and repelled and cleared the ball all day. Great chance today to try some boys in different positions with Vince taking control of the centre and Fish playing his best game for the year off half back. Jack was his consistent best again working hard right across the ground with numerous clearances and was ably supported by Blacky Watto & Boyley. Today’s hard footy was as good as it’s been all year with numerous tackles and smothers putting turnover pressure on the opposition. Key to that in his best game of the year was Jenko who played 4 quarters of in and under footy

JB Commercial Under 13 Gold Waverley Park Hawks 4.7.31 Defeated by Mt Waverley 7.6.47 Goal Kickers: Brodie,Mezza,Dylan & Daniel Best Players: Daniel Kreidl, Johnathon Kokkinias, Dylan Archer, Josh Webb Coaches Awards: Dylan Archer and Josh Costanzo Captains: Ben Beck and Jay Spiteri Golden Hawk: Daniel Kreidl

Another away game this time at Mt Waverley, it was a game up for grabs and with 5 players out was always going to be a difficult challenge and the boys turned in a spirited performance. A couple of wayward shots at goal and who knows it could have been a different story.

Poodle and Johnno had standout games and were putting their bodies on the line and I was suitably impressed with their games. Other good contributors for the day were Webby, Dylan, Josh C, Mezza and Dom.

Challenging game that saw us start off slow in each quarter which gave Mt Waverley a break but then we were finishing the quarters off strong.

Our 3rd quarter was a ripper and thought the momentum would get us over the line however a couple of shots at goal just missed and after 5 minutes of domination but not converting Mt Waverley got a goal and the momentum swung.

Josh C, Daniel Battisti, Macca and Jack S had their better games for the year. Challenge now is for the boys to regroup and really work hard for the remaining 5 rounds (including a ) and see what happens.

Well battled boys.

Under 13 Girls Waverley Park Hawks 5.4.34 Defeated by St Kilda 6.6.42 Goal Kickers: Izzy 2, Chloe L, Maddie, Jordan Best Players: Bella, Jess, Tahlia Coaches Awards: Bella Captains: Emma

They played a great team game today. All the Girls put in huge efforts. It was a shame that we didn’t come out with the win as we were leading all day. The last quarter would be our down fall as we were tired, a 5 minute patch in the last quarter let them score 2 quick goals and St Kilda took the lead. We fought hard to get back into the lead but the siren sounded before we could put a score on the board. Bella was fierce all day, attacking the ball running through the packs. Jess was great again clearing the ball and running forward. Tahlia let nothing get past her, she tackled hard and fought for the ball kicking it out of packs. All the girls girled-up really well today. They are working really well as a team.

I would like to thank all the parents who helped out on Sunday. Also big thanks to Emma, Mackenzie, Jordan from the U/11 for helping out with U/13 with numbers. TOP OF DOCUMENT

The U14 Gold team played a must win game today against Prahran Red. The boys answered the call for a harder brand of footy. From the first bounce the boys took the game up to Prahran. The Hawks dominated the game all day. Chooka Ross was fantastic all day. Jack Sullivan did a great job neutralizing one of Prahran’s main ball getters. Marcus Mariette, Matt Fewings, Adam Gilmore & Jackson Dean played very well. Best of all every player stepped up to the harder style of play. Thank you to all of the Brown players who helped us out.

Cappello, Horner, Hayes, Cincotta, Palleschi, O’Hara, Roberts, Gravell, O’Neill, Mannix Coaches Awards: Jimmy O’Neill and Jasper Roberts Captains: Brodie “The Rock” Gravell & “Mr Damage” Kristian Parisi

This week we took on league leaders, the undefeated Ormond at our home ground.

This was always going to be a challenge after losing our leading goal kicker before the game and two early injuries but we started strong with the wind and took a 1 goal lead into the break.

Ormond bounced back to be a goal up at half time and it was a tight tussle alls the way from there into the final siren.

It was a hard physical encounter and played in great spirit with great sportsmanship from both sides.

The Hawks pressed strongly into the wind in the last quarter and had several opportunities to score but unfortunately fell just short.

Special mention to the tireless work ethic of Angelo Cappello who found the extra 10% that is needed to finish big games and played his heart out across center half forward and a magnificent effort from “Jezza” bagging three goals.

Heads up boys - we pushed the best team in the comp to the limit with far from our strongest side on the park, let’s keep working hard and bounce back against St.Bedes Highett this week!

Congratulations to Jasper on his first goal and big thanks again to Bailey Thompson and Vincent who came and helped out after a full game in the 13’s

Kings Transport Under 15 Waverley Park Hawks 5.11.41 Defeated 14.6.80 Goal Kickers: Shaan Fazal 2, Phil Ilic 1, Corey Janecic 1 and Sean Nathan 1 Best Players: Hamish Johnson, Jack Gallagher, Brandon Sturzaker, Shaan Fazal, Bradley Kreidl, Chris Frencken, Corey Janecic, Riley Payne & Phil Ilic Coaches Awards: Hamish Johnson Captains:

Played a very polished Beaumaris team today and once again got off to a slow start finding ourselves 34 points down a quarter time. We had a couple of options from this point, one was to drop our heads and accept a very heavy defeat or we could fight back and show some fight. Thanks fully we took the latter option and were only beaten by 7 points across the next three quarters. Our intensity at the contest was unquestionable, our desire to try some of things we have been trying at training was also evident however our ability to execute our kicks, our run and spread was a little tardy which cost us. In saying that we were down to only 18 half way through the 2nd quarter, which on a ground the size of the one we played on today, made it very difficult to compete.... Special mention to Tom Webb who went off to hospital today with a shoulder injury after receiving a very hard knock. Well done boys! TOP OF DOCUMENT

Under 16 Girls Waverley Park Hawks 0.2.2 Defeated by East Brighton 2.10.22 Goal Kickers: Best Players: Kimberley Watson, Rebekah Watson, Abbey Goullet, Mikayla Buccella, Alicia McKertish, Layla Humphries, Dani Khoury, Ashley Oakland, Tanya Greco, Hannah Janes Coaches Awards: Layla Humphries Captains: Mikayla Buccella, Kellie Ainsworth

The girls took on the undefeated East Brighton in a very physical encounter at Columbia Reserve. The match was an arm wrestle for the whole game and our girls acquitted themselves very well against an opponent who played a very hard but fair brand of football. Goals were very hard to score and East Brighton scored their goals with 30 seconds remaining in both the third and last quarter which was the difference. Our girls are now competitive with every team in this competition which shows massive improvement over the last year. We now take on the second placed Highett in another crucial match next week. Well done girls on another fantastic effort. TOP OF DOCUMENT

Pearce Building Services Under 16 Waverley Park Hawks 7.12.54 Defeated by Ormond 17.8.110 Goal Kickers: Kirk 2, Tom 2, Nathan A, Chris, Jack Best Players: Dylan, Joe, Dean, Matt, Alex Coaches Awards: Captains:

Resuming from a 2 week lay off saw us head out to EE Gun Reserve to take on Ormond. Our first round match saw a good tussle with us narrowly going down by 16 points. Unfortunately we started on the wrong foot with a couple of players unavailable due to holiday commitments.

The first quarter saw Ormond jump out of the blocks kicking with the assistance of a good breeze. They piled on some 6 goals to our 1 hence we had set ourselves quite a challenge. The second quarter saw more of the same with the Hawks struggling with the size and good ball use of their opponents.

Unfortunately we tried to stem the flow in the third quarter but again Ormond was proving to be too strong at the football and too slick with their ball use. The 3 quarter break saw us a long way behind with the coach pleading for a big last quarter effort to salvage something for the day.

Finally the boys showed up to play and it was like a different team on the park. We tackled hard, engaged our opponents and managed to kick 4 goals 9 behinds to our opponents 3 behinds. Obviously the game was gone, but it was nice to see the boys take something out of the game. Let’s take that last quarter attitude into the start of our next game and see where it takes us.

RJ Ryan Partners Under 17 Waverley Park Hawks 4.6.30 Defeated by East Malvern 13.17.95 Goal Kickers: Will 1, Mitchel 1, Andy 1 Lachie 1 Best Players: Lachie, Sam, Jacob, Mitchel, Tom, Warren Coaches Awards: Tom Irving, Warren Powers Captains:

Out classed by a side that has come down from the top division, our effort as usual was good but when you keep giving the ball back to the opposition like we did for most of the game it was disappointing We also had 6/7chances to kick goals but lack of composer at stages and kicking when we haven't steadied or chose the right option cost us on the scoreboard. We need to improve on our talking, decision making, goal kicking to keep us in the games longer so with 4 more games let’s get all those basic things right and a win will come. TOP OF DOCUMENT
