02 www.vfl .com.au Award winners honoured What an exciting time of year it is with fi nals football in full swing and the start of our awards season. The fi rst of our major award nights – the J.J. Liston Trophy - was held on Monday at Crown Palladium, where we celebrated the achievements of a host of players and off icials from within our competition. It was an emotional moment for winner Nick Rippon from North Ballarat, with the realisation that he had won the competition’s highest individual honour. Rippon is a prime example of the journey taken along the talent pathway by a growing of players from the TAC Cup to the Peter Jackson VFL. A runner up in the U18 competition’s , the Morrish Medal, TAC Cup Team of the Year representative and North Ballarat Rebels best and fairest winner, he was overlooked by AFL clubs but continues to harbour dreams of playing AFL football as he demonstrates his abilities at the highest level possible in the VFL. In just his third season in the state league competition, Rippon has added back-to-back VFL Team of the Year selections to his growing list of accolades, showing his development under coach Gerard FitzGerald. A great story from the night was that Rippon’s mum, Terri, was one of 6,723 viewers watching the live video stream of the night on the VFL website at home in Ballarat and then made her way to Crown to congratulate and celebrate with her son – a great family moment to cherish. The night itself has come a long way over the years, as we made our Crown Palladium debut. It was an honour to have over 20 former J.J. Liston Trophy winners in the room to celebrate the night, with the rich history of the award recognised as six former winners opened the evening with their refl ections on what their triumph meant to them. Port Melbourne’s 1952 winner Frank Johnson recollected how he was informed of his win – a photographer turned up on his doorstep to tell him he’d won and was needed for a photo – while 1989 best and fairest Saade Ghazi of Williamstown never knew “a Lebanese 20-year-old was going to become a role model” in his local community aft er his win. It was a great opportunity to hear the diff erent ways the award has had a profound eff ect on its winners and we look forward to watching how the award infl uences Nick Rippon’s career in the future. Attention now turns to the Morrish Medal this Sunday night, live video streamed via the TAC Cup website. Let’s hope for just as thrilling a count in the TAC Cup best and fairest aft er Rippon leapfrogged four runners-up to win the VFL title in the fi nal round with three votes. Finally, best of luck to the four VWFL Grand Final teams this weekend at Piranha Park in Coburg in the fi nale to the Division 1 and Premier Division seasons. It has been another highly successful year for the competition and we look forward to celebrating the fi nal two premiership sides of 2015 in the VWFL, with Darebin aiming for a three-peat of victories. Good luck to all teams and individuals across our competitions this weekend. Steven Reaper AFL Victoria CEO www.taccup.com.au 03 A ripping year North Ballarat young gun Nick Rippon was named the 2015 J. J. Liston Trophy winner following a thrilling vote count on Monday night. The 21-year-old came from two votes behind leader Matt Thomas (Richmond) with a best-on- ground performance in the fi nal round of the season to fi nish one vote ahead of four runners- up. Thomas had held the outright lead from Round 13, but aft er polling his fi nal votes in Round 16, the Tigers had the bye in Round 17 before the rugged midfi elder was called up to play two matches at AFL level. He was left stranded on 14 votes before the fi nal round, ahead of Williamstown’s Ben Jolley and Box Hill’s (13 votes apiece) and Roosters pair Rippon and Myles Sewell (12 votes apiece). While Jolley and Simpkin failed to poll in Round 20, Rippon and Sewell dominated in North Ballarat’s 42-point victory over Coburg at Eureka Stadium. Both had 28 disposals, but Rippon’s four goals secured him the three votes required to overtake Thomas while Sewell had to settle for two. A previous winner of the award in North Ballarat’s

2009 premiership year, Sewell fi nished as one of Nick Rippon in action for North Ballarat four runners-up with Thomas, Sandringham’s Clint Jones and Williamstown’s (the Development League level in his fi rst season in latter two both polling three votes in the fi nal 2013, before blossoming as a midfi elder capable round to shoot up the leaderboard). of playing inside and outside the contest in 2014.

Sandringham vs Collingwood Footscray’s Sunday September 13, 11.40am, North Port Oval Winner to face: Box Hill Hawks Collingwood had Sandringham’s measure the last time these teams met in Round 12 at Victoria Park. That day, the Magpies jumped the Zebras to lead by 33 points at half time, and despite a strong Sandringham fi nish (which has almost become the norm in 2015), the home side held on by 10 points. Collingwood also jumped Werribee in an Elimination Final last week, while the Zebs couldn’t quite overcome a costly 48-point defi cit to Williamstown at three-quarter time in a Qualifying Final. This week, they can’t aff ord another slack start or to waste chances going forward as they did against the Seagulls. Sandringham had 17 more inside-50s than Williamstown – mostly through the drive of Josh Saunders and – but two fewer goals, as the Gulls’ team defence held up strongly. Collingwood’s back line has been leaky at times this year despite the steadying infl uence of Ryan Pendlebury, but against Werribee, it was pressure up the ground that made scoring diff icult for the Tigers. The tackling ability of hardened on-ballers such as captain Jack Hellier and Brent Macaff er will be crucial in stopping Zebra Footscray vs Essendon midfi elders such as Clint Jones and providing Saturday September 12, 11.40am, North Port silver service to Sandringham’s dangerous forwards. Oval Collingwood’s Winner to face: Williamstown Ryan Pendlebury These teams will be very familiar with each other, having met twice in the last six weeks. Those results were mixed, with Footscray winning the Round 16 match at VU Whitten Oval by 22 points and Essendon stunning the Bulldogs by four points in Round 19 at Bendigo’s Queen Elizabeth Oval with a thrilling last-quarter comeback victory. Footscray held its own at the stoppages against Box Hill in a Qualifying Final loss last week, but were carved up by the Hawks’ ability to hit targets and maintain possession. The Bombers have placed similar emphasis on high disposal and mark numbers in 2015, so the Dogs will fi rst need to win possession in the contest through hard-nuts such as (Footscray’s best in the Round 16 clash and last week’s fi nal) and then eff iciently fi nd slick marking targets inside 50 such as Will Hayes and Meyrick Buchanan. Miss the mark though and Essendon’s well-organised defence led by will cut off and repel attacks at will. The midfi eld battle will be crucial in this one – prolifi c Bomber on-ballers such as Dan Coghlan and James Polkinghorne will need to be on their game to counter Dogs ruckman Will Minson’s likely infl uence at the stoppages.

Geelong Falcons vs Eastern Ranges Sunday September 13, 2pm, Ikon Park Winner to face: Geelong may have defeated North Ballarat and Dandenong this year, but hasn’t been able to knock off Eastern in two encounters. In Round 8 at Simonds Stadium, the Ranges dominated from the outset as 10 goals from led them to a 40-point victory. Things were tighter in Round 14 at Box Hill City Oval though, as the Falcons rallied from 21 points down at the last change to draw the match. Geelong’s had a blinder that day with 32 disposals and three goals, and the midfi eld battle he’ll be a part of will be crucial in determining the outcome of this match. The likes of Mathieson, and Harry Kershaw will need to neutralise the infl uence of Eastern’s midfi eld brigade, featuring Ryan Clarke (four goals in the Elimination Final win against Calder), Bryce Batty (28 disposals and eight clearances last week) and Liam Jeff s. If they receive silver service from 19-year-old ruckman Beau Mitchener, Hardwick and big Jayden Collins might be looking at profi table days up forward for the Ranges. But if the Falcons can win at the coalface, they have weapons such Murray’s Murray Waite as and Brett Blair capable of capitalising in front of the big sticks too. Murray Bushrangers vs Oakleigh Chargers Geelong’s Brett Blair Sunday September 13, 11am, Ikon Park Winner to face: North Ballarat Rebels Oakleigh was one of only a handful of quality teams to defeat Murray this year, doing so by 12 points (and with 12 more scoring shots) at Norm Minns Oval in Round 5. Charger booted four goals that day (as he did against Gippsland in a big Elimination Final win), while 19-year-old Tom Phillips starred with 25 disposals and eight marks (also kicking four goals against the Power last week). The Bushrangers were without key forwards and Zach Sproule back in April, who both hit the scoreboard in the Qualifying Final loss to Dandenong. A key for Oakleigh will be to stop the ball from coming in neatly to those Murray targets – as well as Max Canfi eld, whose three goals were important against the Stingrays – by winning fi rst possession in the middle. The battle between Charger ruck combination Michael Wenn and Harry Thompson, and Bushranger big man Mitch King will be crucial. Oakleigh on-ballers Kade Answerth and had a fi eld day against Gippsland due to Wenn’s dominance, while King struggled to contain Dandenong’s Gach Nyuon. Murray midfi elders such as and Murray Waite will need to be on their game to help avoid a straight-sets fi nals exit. www.taccup.com.au 11 12 www.vfl .com.au Week 1 Finals review Essendon’s Jacob Thompson celebrates his game-sealing goal in the Elimination Final against the Casey Scorpions News
