CLUB WAREHOUSE RISING STAR NOMINATION ROUND 11 JARROD CARLSON (MARCELLIN)

Marcellin Old Collegians midfielder Jarrod Carlson is the nominee for the Club Warehouse Rising Star Nomination for Round 11 after his best on ground performance against Old Melburnians last Saturday. Jarrod is a strapping young man and genuine all round sportsman. As well as being a talented footballer, Jarrod also plays Premier Cricket with Carlton, regularly opening the batting in the First XI. On the weekend, Jarrod accumulated 33 possessions including 12 defensive stats. He possesses clean, sure hands, has good evasive skills and is a penetrating kick on both sides of the body. Jarrod has been selected in the VAFA U23 squad this year and hopes to represent the association this weekend in their match against South Australia. While enjoying his footy is Jarrod’s main aim, he is also focused on being part of Marcellin’s success in the future and ultimately their next A Grade premiership.

Down the other end of the table, wins proved too good in the to Glen Eira and St John’s have helped both clubs, whilst last stanza running away La Trobe have been dragged into the relegation battle. This with the victory by 65 week’s games are: points. The early loss of Round Ten Club Warehouse rising star nominee Chris Traeger certainly did not help the Hoes Aquinas OC $1.33 v St John’s OC $3.10 cause, but the Hoes were unlucky not to hold a half time Three losses in a row for Aquinas, including last lead as their kicking in front of goal let them down.

Jocs will have taken some confidence from their win La Trobe Uni $2.10 v Oakleigh AFC $1.65 last week, but I feel that Aquinas will bounce back today. La Trobe will be seething after losing a match they Aquinas are Looney’s 35 star special. Aquinas by 44 should have won against St John’s.

Mazenod would have been determined to make a good start to the game following some poor starts of late and they came out UNDER 19 (1) like men possessed scoring 8 goals in the first quarter with some good University Blues v Old Scotch at University Oval running football. The well oiled machine that is Mazenod decided to call Banyule-Viewbank v De La Salle OC it a day with 28 goals to their name. They had 12 goal scorers led by Marcellin OC v St Bernards Bogar who kicked 8 and Klavins with 5, and in an excellent team effort Collegians v Old Xaverians (1) they were ably led by Johnson, Stanley, and Smith. Old Mentonians St Kevins OB v Rupertswood AFC asserted their authority early in their game against Parkdale with some UNDER 19 (2) strong tackling and superior use of the footy through the corridor.

Only percentage separates the UNDER 19 (Blue) two teams in what should be a high-class affair, however, with the likes De La Salle OC v Old Mentonians of Gill and Kovarik in top form and the fact that it is being played at De La, they should take the points in a close game.
