The duel competition for whomever between James Keem (Valley) and Anthony Palmer (OM) was he lines up on. At home, a highlight, while Chris Beal was also inspirational for the I’ll take the Oggers.

Both teams are part of that four way battle for three Illingworth looking dangerous, before Old Carey’s “Killer B’s” spots in the four. Both teams have also experienced indifferent (Battle, Barton, Basell) took control of the game, ensuring the form in the last few weeks. The likes of Pietryk, Chivers and Panthers ran out convincing 42 point winners. Matthews for the home side will need to be at the peak of their powers to counteract the influence of Rupo’s West, Brennan PREVIEW and Collins. Like pretty much all the contests today, Prahran host Old Mentonians at Toorak Park. The Panthers entertainment promises to abound. I’ll pick the Bullants to have shown reasonable form over the last few weeks, win, thus entrenching their spot in the finals, and exiling Rupo unfortunately too late to influence their finals ambitions. On from the four in the process. the other hand, the Two Blues have had a revival in fortunes in the second half of the season, and are still a chance to avoid the drop. The duel between Daniel James (Prahran) and McKINNON Michael Basile (Old Mentonians) could very well be the SPORTS MEDICINE barometer of the outcome of today’s match. Considering SHARPSHOOTERS – D1 neither team are a show for the finals, I still expect this game to be an entertaining spectacle.

SUPPORTS THE VAFA AFCA/VAFA COACH OF THE YEAR

U19 COACH OF THE MONTH - JULY Owen Lalor – St Bede’s / Mentone Tigers

Owen began U19 Coach at St Bede’s/Mentone in 2005 and currently has the side firing on top of the ladder in U19 (3). Owen played senior football for St Bede’s/Mentone for 8 years playing around 80 games (he told me he missed more games than he played!). Owen played in their Reserve Grade premiership in 1998. Owen commenced his coaching career at Old Melburnians in 2002, coaching their U19 side to a Grand Final in 2003. Owen has a Level 2 AFL coaching accreditation and has always been keen to improve his coaching skills by attending workshops and conferences. We wish him well for the upcoming finals and one thing is for sure, the St Bede’s/Mentone U19 side will be well prepared.

CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 17 TOM CHISOLM (OLD HAILEYBURY) Old Haileybury wingman/forward Tom Chisolm is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 17 after his best on ground performance against Old Xaverians last Saturday. Tom joined the OHAFC in 2005 after playing an integral role in the Haileybury College APS Premiership in 2004. His potential was immediately recognisable and his Senior appearances in 2005 gave every indication of his talent. His outstanding 2006 form has been rewarded with representation in both the U/19 and U/23 VAFA rep sides. Multi- talented, "Chis" missed 3 weeks in the second half of the season when he travelled to Spain to compete in the world sailing championships. Playing mainly on the forward line, Tom's best attributes are his pace, goalkicking ability and aggressive defensive skills. His trademark mop of hair and enthusiasm for the game brings immediate comparisons with Collingwood's Dale Thomas. Tom is expected to play a key role in shaping the Blood's September fortunes.

The Pirates had to come from behind Western Suburbs, their best has been good enough for anyone against Oakleigh though, so the Krushers will fancy their in the competition, but their worst has been terrible. Ben chances next Saturday on a neutral venue. Today’s match up Stornebrink was outstanding for Werribee with eight goals, of Evans on Payze will be worth the price of admission alone, and Martin Walsh and Andrew Taylor found plenty of the ball. and I see that duel going a long way in deciding the winner of I doubt that Werribee will be looking forward to the trip to this game. I have a hunch that this will be a close match but I Doveton today. I reackon they will want to be heading back can’t go past Peninsula. Pirates to win by 3 points. over the Westgate as soon as possible. That’s why I am selecting the Joc’s to win and to stay up in D2 for 2007. Joc’s Ivanhoe Assumption AFC $1.80 v La Trobe Uni $1.90 by 18 points. Simple mathematics here. The loser of this game will certainly be in D3 next season, whilst the winner may be a chance of staying up depending on the result between St John’s and McKINNON Werribee. The Hoe’s need to win, and win pretty well if they are SPORTS MEDICINE to stay up, and if Coach John Garrard can be amongst the goals, then they are a good chance of this. Garrard was superb SHARPSHOOTERS – D2 in his club’s 40 point loss to Williamstown with five goals, NAME CLUB LST WK TOTAL along with Matt Wilson at Centre Half Back and Karim Moussa on the ball.

Remarkably, Emmaus quarter time with the Reds up 45-0.

The Aquinians were two together after beating MHSOB by 25 points. Patrick Mahon was boosted with an influx of talent in their 76 point victory over the Westies. But instrumental with his three goals and best afield performance. the lads are keeping a lid on things. The Old Saints kept Xavs down all day, actually leading at the main and final breaks, only to watch the visitors come back to win by 4 goals.

Only a single point separated Old Haileyburians and Mazenod after four fast and furious UNDER 19 (1) quarters of football, however, it was Old Haileyburians who held on to Rupertswood AFC v Old Xaverians (1) keep their undefeated record intact. The lead swung between the two University Blues v St Kevins OB teams with Mazenod kicking six goals to two in the second quarter after Old Scotch v Collegians a lacklustre start, while Old Haileyburians hit back to hold a 2-point lead St Bernards v De La Salle OC at the last break. They held on in the end, but only just. Anthony Wright Marcellin OC v Banyule-Viewbank kicked 5 for the winners while Christopher Brown was awesome for UNDER 19 (2) Mazenod. A historic day for De La Golds as they wrapped up a finals Old Paradians v Old Melburnians berth for the first time in their history with a win over Powerhouse/ Sth Caulfield Gr v Whitefriars OC Mornington. While they got away to a slow start and were lucky to be in Old Camberwell Gr v Old Carey Gr front at quarter time, the second quarter saw Harkins go on to the ball Beaumaris FC v Old Brighton Gr and big Kovarik to full forward and the Gold Machine was away. Cust, Old Trinity Gr v University Blacks Edwards, McKenna, Phillips, Monaghan and Semmel dominated the midfield and eight goals to two later De La had a match winning lead.

These reversals limited me contest their fifteenth to one correct prediction. successive Grand Final whilst the minor premiers, Prahran will play in their second Grand Final (Old Section 1 Xaverians beat them by 68 points in 2003.). Only inaccurate kicking, with the wind by Old Xaverians For three quarters of the Second Semi Final, Prahran prevented them from holding the lead at quarter time gave Old Xaverians a football lesson, from which the against Old Scotch. In the second quarter Old Xaverians “Crocodiles” showed they have learned quickly. Prahran reversed the trends of the day by building a substantial ran hard; “lost” opponents and kicked long to the goal lead while kicking into the wind at the Glenhuntly Road square. Can they do it again? The Xaverians will be end of the Arena. At half time the “Crocodiles” led by 15 better prepared today and will, I suspect, field a more points. The third quarter saw the Old Xaverians balanced side. Man on man duels will be in order until dominate, when aided by the wind they built an the Xaverians win possession, then we should see their unassailable lead of 56 points. Old Scotch made no advancement in the final quarter as Old Xaverians went McKINNON on to a 59 point victory.
