Healthy and strong competitions have been witnessed within all three NFL senior divisions. Every week there seems to be an upset result that creates more and more interest in who will finish where on the ladder and just when a team seems to be settled towards the top of the ladder, they lose a game to keep them well within reach for the rest of the teams The back half of the season for each division promises to be very exciting. There are teams outside of the top four, or five in the case of first division, who have a very good chance of making the finals. Many of these teams will player each other at least once before the finals and no doubt this will shape who will be successful to make the finals. Every week there are many great games to choose from to attend and watch some great football in a quality environment. This weekend is no different and I look forward to seeing how everyone fares and who will cause the biggest upset this week. Junior football is rapidly coming to the end of the home and away season, despite a bye this weekend over the school holiday period. With only three home and away rounds matches to go, I urge everyone to remember that it is about the kids and not the adults. Let’s keep our emotions in check and make sure that we continue to create a positive environment for the kids to enjoy their football. I wish all teams who are striving to make the finals, good luck, but most importantly, HAVE FUN. Netball is also heading to the pointy end of the season and it is timely to remind all players and club officials of that the NFL will not tolerate anyone who abuses umpires, and if they do, they could find themselves in the tribunal and be held to account for their behaviour. So far the season has been fantastic, let’s keep it this way as we head towards the finals. Enjoy your weekend of NFL football and NNL netball.

From Round 13, 2014, when the Eagles cruised to a 37-point win over West Preston-Lakeside on July 19, until Round 9, 2016 when the club broke its duck against Northcote Park on June 18. It had been a long time between drinks for the Eagles. Some 100 weeks later, and not only has Whittlesea broken its Division 1 hoodoo, but it has recorded backto-back victories against much-fancied opponents, defeating finals-aspirant Bundoora by 28 points last weekend. Whittlesea senior coach James Atkins has seen the trials and tribulations of his group this season, but believes the internal belief within the club never wavered. “We always knew we could compete and win games of footy,” Atkins told The Northerner. “I don’t think the belief has never not been there, throughout the whole year. “We always believed that we could win games of footy, it was just about getting the result. We’d beaten a lot of teams in quarters – we just had to play four quarters to get the result. “Sticking to the game-plan is paying dividends at the moment.” Sitting 0-8, anchored to the bottom of the Division 1 ladder after two-point losses to West Preston-Lakeside in Round 1 and Bundoora in Round 5 had Atkins asking questions. On top of two single-figure losses to quality opposition, Whittlesea had been in winning positions in a number of matches. It gave the still undefeated ladder-leader Heidelberg a scare, trailing by 11 points at three-quarter-time in Round 2, held a five-point lead over Lower Plenty at three-quarter time in Round 3 and a three-point lead over Greensborough at the final change in Round 6. “You could imagine what it would’ve been like,” Atkins said. “We knew that we weren’t that far off but when you’re zip and eight and you start questioning what you’re doing. “You could tell that we weren’t far away and we knew that if we had a four-quarter effort we were going to 4 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record get the results. “We’ve just got to do it (consistently) throughout a whole season and it’s a lot of hard work to stay up.” Atkins’ message to his side after being so close, yet so far to breaking its duck a number of times was simple – not if, but when. Despite recording heavy losses to reigning premier Macleod in Round 7 (96 points) and Montmorency in Round 8 (44 points), the next two weeks’ winning results would be in complete contrast, but the positive attitude would remain the same. “The two weeks before we won our last two games we had our poorest two weeks of the year,” Atkins said. “We just needed to keep that positive attitude (around the club) and let everyone know that we’re not far away.” Former Brisbane and Western Bulldogs player Justin Sherman, who played 138 AFL games from 2005-2012, has had an immediate impact this season in a playingassistant coaching role, according to Atkins. “His leadership’s been fantastic,” he said. “He’s a playing assistant coach, so his leadership there’s very good and he’s very good with the young guys. “He helps out the young blokes a lot and talks about what he’s done and what he’s achieved, and what they need to do to reach those levels and professionalism. “He’s a good people person and spends a lot of time with individuals. His football over the last couple of weeks has been fantastic as well,” Atkins said. Whittlesea travels to Eltham Central Park this week where it takes on the seventh-placed Panthers. The sides last met in Round 4 with Eltham prevailing by 19 points. Atkins believes his side’s confidence from the last fortnight will hold it in good stead in the return bout this weekend. “We’re just taking it one week at a time, we just need to keep making sure we keep putting our best foot forward. If we play four quarters of footy, the results will look after themselves,” he said. “We think we’re a shot and so we should – we’re playing some good footy at the moment. “That winning feeling is a magical thing. It’s a lot easier to get to footy training and train and be up and about after a couple of wins and I’d assume that’s going to be the same this week.” NFL News TIGERS MOVE FOUR GAMES CLEAR by Jarryd Barca Heidelberg continued its undefeated season with a comfortable 30-point win over Greensborough at Warringal Park in Round 10 of Meadows Greyhounds Division 1. The 12.13 (85) to 7.13 (55) scalp sits the Tigers four wins and percentage ahead of their closest rivals on the ladder, heading into the final eight rounds of the home and away season. The Boro’s second-straight defeat saw them move to 6-4 and slip to third place on the ladder, percentage behind second-placed Macleod. Adam Symes starred up forward for Heidelberg, booting a game-high four goals and marking everything that came his way. Ruckman Sam Gilmore also stretched the Boro defence, kicking three goals as the only other multiple goal kicker on the ground. Finals-like intensity was prominent from the get-go and the contested area of the game was crucial for both sides. It was Heidelberg who got the better of its opponent in that aspect, thanks largely to James Magner. Both teams were able to spread from the clearances well and had the intention of burning the opposition with quick ball movement, but turnovers from both sides gave the game a see-sawing effect. Paul Bower and Josh Gribben held their own in defence for the Tigers, as Luke Hodgkin and Charles Gaylard dominated through the centre of the ground with countless forward-50 entries. Speed and class on the outside is what got the job done for the Tigers, who took the game on through the middle of the ground whenever an opportunity arose. Josh Griffiths was the Boro’s best player, breaking lines and taking the game on with every opportunity he got. Nick Carnell, Chris Clark and Ricky Mullins were all damaging at times throughout the game and gave the Boro drive through the midfield. After plenty of early stoppages, it was Gaylard who opened the game up with a long kick forward landing in the hands of Gilmore, who stood tall and marked over the top of Daniel McLinden to slot the first goal of the game. A counter-attacking goal through Clark evened things up for the Boro, before Gilmore got on the end of another Gaylard ball forward to kick his second goal. Jarrod Hodgkin and Nick Miller were able to extend the Tigers’ margin further after dominating the middle stages of the opening term. However, Greensborough ran out the quarter the hardest and two late goals through Carnell and Josh Callaway brought the the margin back to just seven points at quarter time. Heidelberg lifted its intensity in the second term and it was all about Adam Symes, who managed to kick all of his four goals in the quarter. Other than Symes capitalising on his opportunities, the Tigers missed many shots on goal and could have had the game all but over. The Boro stayed in the contest with goals to Griffiths and Jacob Ireland, trailing the Tigers by 29 points at the main break. With the third quarter came a free-flowing fast game of footy, but both sides were unable to punish the other with scoreboard pressure. Though Greensborough had the better of the quarter, turnovers were the only thing keeping them from possibly overrunning the Tigers. The Boro kicked four behinds for the quarter – following an early goal to Gilmore. Greensborough came out in the final quarter with every intent of winning the game despite trailing by 36 points at the last change of ends, and was getting on top in many key aspects. The first five scoring shots for the Boro were all behinds however, and a quick rebound goal through Gaylard ended the visitor’s chances of a comeback. The Tigers managed to hold off their visitors thereafter to charge to their 10th consecutive victory. FINAL SCORE: Heidelberg 12.13 (85) def Greensborough 7.13 (55) WWW. NFL. ORG.

Goalless and trailing by 50 points at half time, the Bulldogs fought their way back into the match but fell agonisingly short of a memorable comeback, as the Bridges held on for a 13.16 (94) to 11.19 (85) win. The result moved Hurstbridge three wins and percentage clear in first place on the Division 2 ladder, with the club looking destined to take out the minor premiership at the end of the home and away season. Robert Graham was named best afield for the Bridges, while the likes of Brayden Shaw, Jarrod Tilley and Tyron Loader all played influential roles. Aron Burns was the star up forward, kicking four majors, while Chris Burton and Tom Simpson both slotted three. For the Bulldogs, Shane Harvey kicked four, including three crucial last-quarter goals, while Kyle Green and Marc Lonergan both kicked two. Pasquale Saccuzzo was named best for the visitors for his lockdown job on Tom Simpson after quarter time, with the Bridges’ young gun booting all his three goals in the opening half. Michael Florance, Daniel Bramich and Josh Iezzi were all influential in the Bulldogs’ second half fight back. Hurstbridge was able to come out of the blocks fast, kicking the first goal through Dale Eames before Chris Burton was able to get on the board. Inaccurate kicking meant the margin didn’t reflect the Bridges’ early dominance, however two goals each to Burns and Simpson saw the home side race out to a 40-point quarter time lead. North Heidelberg sent Saccuzzo to Simpson early in the second term after he kicked his third major following the restart of play. An inaccurate quarter from both sides saw a combined 2.10 kicked as the Bridges went 50 points ahead at the main break, with the Bulldogs contained to just eight behinds in the first half. Hurstbridge had the first two shots at goal in the third term but couldn’t convert either, before North Heidelberg went down the other end and kicked its first through Zac Gleeson. The Bulldogs were able to kick the next three goals to reduce to margin to 27 points midway through the quarter. However, three goals to Hurstbridge, including Burns’ third, saw the margin blow back out to 44 points, before a late goal to Lonergan gave the Bulldogs a glimmer of hope heading into the final term. Andre Habchi converted early in the last quarter for North Heidelberg as the away side continued its momentum early. A 50-metre penalty handed Green his first goal, before Harvey kicked two more in the next three minutes to move the Bulldogs within three points of the lead. Hurstbridge was able to wrestle back the advantage with goals to Burton and Burns before Green kicked his second for the Bulldogs to give them some hope late. As the siren went the Hurstbridge players and faithful alike breathed a sigh of relief. Coach Rob Dyson was impressed with his side’s first half but admitted they were “outworked” late in the match. “(North Heidelberg) lifted their intensity and they worked a lot harder than they did in the first half,” Dyson said.

Trailing by nine points at the last change, the Burra’s six-goal burst included four goals in the first seven minutes of the final quarter, ensuring they were able to move past the Demons on the ladder with a 14.12 (96) to 11.12 (78) win. It was Mernda who appeared on top early, and converted the opening goal in the first two minutes through Josh Delaney. It was a poignant return from Delaney, who seriously injured his neck on the previous occasion the Demons visited Whatmough Park. The goal stung the Burra into action and Nick Daisley, who was one of their best throughout the day, snapped through a goal to put them on the board. Toby O’Meara then started to assert himself into the game. In his first St Mary’s game, O’Meara was able to kick two goals in the opening quarter, allowing the Burra to lead by five points at the opening change. The second quarter was an arm-wrestle – the Burra looked like clearing away at stages, with the likes of Daniel Dober and Jake Johnston getting on the scoreboard, while Dillan Ronalds was dominant around the clinches. Mernda was able to respond, with Les Adams leading from the front. Adams kicked one of the goals of the day when he tackled a St Mary’s player, picked up his own crumb and delivered a long goal from 55m, allowing the Demons to stay in the game. St Mary’s led by 11 points at half time, but it was the Demons who made their move in the third quarter, kicking 4.6 to the Burra’s 1.4. Luke Drakes played his best game of the season and starred in the third quarter, kicking two goals and taking some strong marks. Bill Samie was also able to kick a classy goal right on the pocket – the young gun impressing yet again, kicking three goals. With the game on the line, St Mary’s coach Con Borg delivered a three-quarter time spray which yielded immediate dividends. The Burra kicked four goals in the opening seven minutes of the final quarter – Myles Guldon kicking two important goals with the game on the line, while Ronalds, who shifted forward, was also able to hit the scoreboard and was busy in every St Mary’s foray forward. Mernda, on the other hand, simply could not get any coherency or run into its game throughout the last quarter. Finally, O’Meara put the icing on the cake with a great snap goal, putting the Burra four goals clear and securing an important win in the context of their season. Samie kicked his third right on the siren, but it was merely a consolation goal – the Demons missing a big chance to go two games clear of the pack in second. Along with Ronalds and Daisley, who were instrumental in midfield, St Mary’s winners included Jarrod Bunker off half-back, Dober and Raygen Tate. O’Meara kicked four goals, beating both Christian Cawsey and Ian Fulton, while Guldon, Johnston and Dober kicked two goals each. Mernda’s last quarter was disappointing given the context of what a win would have brought for its top two chances. Adams led from the front superbly, while David Hutchinson, despite going goalless, was impressive playing a variety of roles. Delaney also played well and 17-year-old Anthony Cardamone was again busy in the coalface. FINAL SCORE: St Mary’s 14.12 (96) def Mernda 11.12 (78) WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 9 10 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record NFL News NFL GIRLS GALLANT IN DEFEAT Northern Football League under-15 girls coach David Craig said the representative side should be extremely proud of its efforts at the 2016 AFL Victoria Metro Junior Championships. The NFL’s under-15 girls were gallant in their grand final defeat on Saturday, going down 11.8 (74) to 4.4 (28) to a strong Yarra Junior Football League outfit at Walker Park. The 46-point defeat was a marked improvement after succumbing to a 70-point loss in their previous match against the YJFL in Round 3 of the Championships. Craig said all players were to be commended for their performances in the grand final and throughout the round robin series. “They should all be proud. The way they handled themselves on Saturday and the improvement they showed was great to see,” Craig said. “We sat down after the previous loss to Yarra and worked on changing a few things. The girls played to the plan and were a lot harder and fiercer at the ball than in the previous loss. “In the grand final we lost each quarter by only one or two goals, which was a marked improvement. “After the match even the Yarra coach commended our girls on the improvement they’d shown and their real team effort.” Trailing by 21 points at quarter time, the NFL took the game right up to the YJFL in the second term. Our girls kept their more fancied opponent to just one goal in the second quarter, with the game still in the balance at half time. YJFL marginally got on top in the second half, however the NFL girls never gave in and made sure their opponent had to work hard for their win. Craig said every girl in the NFL squad contributed throughout the Championships and named Grace Dicker, Maeve Chaplin and Ciara Fitzgerald as three of the more consistent players throughout the campaign. Kayley Reid was adjudged the NFL’s best player in the grand final, booting two of her team’s four goals. Craig said Reid had shown great talent throughout all four matches at the Championships. “Kayley came along leaps and bounds and she is only one of the younger players in the team. “She was our best on Saturday and really led the way.” The Northern Football League congratulates all players and coaches on their efforts throughout the 2016 AFL Victoria Metro Junior Championships.

Whittlesea has enjoyed a mid-season resurgence following the Queen’s Birthday long weekend and heads to Eltham this week with a sense of belonging in the top flight. The Eagles led from start to finish to record their maiden victory against Bundoora. The home side contained the Bulls to just one first-half goal, before easing to a 28-point triumph. Northern Knights product Clancy Bland led the way, with strong support from Jai Robinson and Chris Horman. With a one-game and percentage gap over Lower Plenty, a third-straight win would go a long way to sealing the Eagles’ place in Division 1. Eltham missed an opportunity to push inside the top five following last week’s 54-point defeat to Northcote Park. The Panthers slipped to seventh on the ladder, and while equal on points with fifth-placed Montmorency, their poor percentage puts them behind the pack. Matthew Evans booted three goals last week, while Bailey Taglieri continued his good form. The second of this season’s grand final rematches takes place when second-placed Macleod hosts third-placed Greensborough at De Winton Park. It is a crucial match as both sides look to secure a top-three finish. Without a host of key players, Macleod’s depth was put to the test in last week’s 45-point win over Lower Plenty. A close game throughout, Macleod broke clear with five unanswered goals in the final quarter. Matthew Clark’s rebirth as a forward continued, booting eight goals, while Lucas Hobbs featured in the Roos’ best for the fifth consecutive match. For the second time this season Greensborough heads into the grand final rematch on the back of consecutive losses, following last week’s 30-point defeat at Heidelberg. Despite the return of Matthew Hyde, Lachlan McQuilken, Tristan Stead and Josh Callaway, Greensborough trailed all day at Warringal Park. The Boro were restricted to seven majors and haven’t reached triple figures since Round 1. Bundoora has slipped to fourth spot following consecutive defeats and now faces Heidelberg at Yulong Reserve. by Samuel Zito The Bulls have been well beaten in their past two starts and will hope for a massive form reversal this week. A loss could see Phil Plunkett’s side slip outside the top five for the first time since Round 1. Bundoora was denied any quick ball movement in last week’s upset loss at Whittlesea. Brent Marshall shook off injury to try to inspire his teammates. An 11th-straight win would give Heidelberg a competition clean sweep, having beaten all other Division 1 rivals over the opening ten rounds. Adam Symes was again among the Tigers’ best last week, booting second-quarter goals to feature in the coaches votes for the fourth-straight match. Paul Bower was prominent, while Sam Gilmore booted three goals. Montmorency will be favoured to claim its fourth win on the trot when it hosts neighbour Lower Plenty. Montmorency’s midfielders benefitted from ruckman Joel McLellan’s dominance as the Magpies claimed a 64-point win away to West Preston-Lakeside. The Magpies’ top-end were all influential, with Ben Fennell, Stephen McCallum, Jesse Donaldson and James Brooker finding plenty of the footy, and Patrick Fitzgerald and Ben Walton sharing seven goals. Billy Jenkin was great off half back. Lower Plenty was gallant in last week’s defeat to Macleod, winning the second and third quarters to trail the reigning premier by just 14 points at threequarter time. A final quarter fadeout was worsened by wins to Whittlesea and Northcote Park. Patrick Flynn continued his exceptional season with a dominant ruck performance, while Darcy Barden booted four goals This week’s action includes a Sunday showdown between West Preston-Lakeside and Northcote Park at J.E Moore Park. After an impressive month, West Preston-Lakeside was ordinary in last week’s home loss to Montmorency. Shaun Gannon was clearly his side’s best player, but he had few helpers in the big defeat. The Roosters have enjoyed little success against Northcote Park in recent times, managing just one draw in their past nine outings. Northcote Park produced its best performance of the year last Saturday and will remain a finals chance if it can record successive wins for the first time this season. The Cougars excelled in the last quarter last week, booting 6.5 to zero. Aaron Shaw and Mannon Johnston combined for seven majors, Ben McNiece starred, while ruckman Simon Potter impressed. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 13 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 BUNDOORA Today we play Heidelberg at Yulong Reserve. The Tigers are unbeaten hopefully we can change this situation. LAST WEEK: Whittlesea showed us why they deserve to be back in Division 1 with a fine display of team work, passion and fast ball movement, something we have been lacking since we played Montmorency. The Eagles had the ball on a string and had one of those days where even a miskicked ball found a team mate. Captain Nipper Marshall with a broken nose and dislocated finger led the way along with Matty Dennis and Josh Grabowski, attempting to create opportunities for our forwards however Whittlesea wanted to win this game so badly they could taste it, they just shut us down, Our U19s and Reserve sides played well and both won their games. With some hard training during the week we can get back on track and give the NFL’s powerhouse Heidelberg a run for their money. AROUND THE BULLRING: Happy Birthday to Michael Gravina, hope it was a good one. Thanks to Damian Brady we appreciate your time HEIDELBERG We’re happy with where things are at. SENIORS: Last Saturday brought with it the winteriest (if there is such a word) conditions of the season. Pleased to report that no one went missing in the mud. Our ground held up surprisingly well considering how much rain we had. It was certainly a day for the screwin studs, which I think no one wears anymore. Sam Gilmore was again outstanding and Paul Bower had a stellar game off half back. In an entertaining game the Bergers were able to handle whatever Greensborough threw at us to maintain our unbeaten run. RESERVES: Last week the twos were unhappy, in particular with the second half, against a solid Borough twos unit. Riders was consistent all day as was Benny Irving. Unfortunately we could not put a solid four quarters together. ROUND 11 PREVIEW: Today we travel to Yulong Reserve for our first hit-out of the year against Bundoora. As always, we’re expecting a tough encounter. We’ll get a good idea of exactly where we’re at as after today we’ll have played everyone. 14 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record and energy managing our main bar. Great to see the Yarrambat boys joining our team during the downpour of rain last Thursday, they all looked like drowned rats when they came off the ground and it was pleasing to see our netball girls at the club during the week picking up their warm up tops. BUNDOORIANS: Bundoorians, Best on Ground at Whittlesea Showgrounds goes to Matty Dennis, enjoy your day in a Jeep. Compliments of our sponsor Nick Soklev of Northern Motor Group in Grimshaw Street, Bundoora SPONSORS: See David Moxon at Barry Plant at Shop 4/1177 Plenty Road Bundoora; if you’re buying a home or investment property, please support our sponsors as they support our club.

Everyone seemed to have a great afternoon, with some travelling from interstate to be there. Good time had by all. PRESIDENT’S LUNCH: Remember to book your spot at next Saturday’s President’s Lunch with three-time Hawthorn premiership captain Luke Hodge our guest speaker.

NFL. ORG. AU 15 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 ELTHAM The boys are back at home this week where we host Whittlesea. LAST WEEK: The senior game was a disaster at Northcote Park last week. Did not start well and were always chasing. To be just a couple of goals down at the last change and give in so meekly was most disappointing. With our poor percentage we can ill afford to drop too many further games in the upcoming weeks. The reserves battled well but just were not able to bridge that two-goal gap in the last quarter. The under=19s had a great win and are progressing well. LACHIE RICHARDSON 250 A-GRADE GAMES: Congratulations to club great, Lachie Richardson, who is set to attain 250 A-Grade games today. Hoping the results is a better one for him this week. PRESIDENT’S LUNCH: Our next President’s Lunch is today.There may be some tickets on the door. Being held at the Eltham Football Club rooms, Central Park, Panther Place, Eltham. The guest speaker will be 1999 Coleman Medal winner Scott Cummings. Scott played at four AFL clubs – Essendon, Port Adelaide, West WHITTLESEA It took 701 days to taste the success of a Division 1 win. It took only seven more to replicate the feeling. THE CLUB: All credit to Jim, Declan, Blacky and the 22 who took the field, a sweeter victory rarely tasted. The boys can take pride in knowing they are the first Whittlesea outfit to defeat Bundoora. Today we tackle the Panthers and as our miniseries rolls on, we are 2-0. NETBALL: From 5 of 6 one week to 2 of 6 the next, admittedly, with two of the teams playing one another. Tough night with some close losses, but it’s the nature of the game. Four teams will enjoy the bye this week. Hopefully we come away with two wins. SENIORS: Brilliant all day, leading from start to finish and the boys really deserved to soak it up. Briffa was lost before the game, but Demps came in and celebrated his 21st birthday in style. Much the same for the big OS, celebrating his birthday with a win. Clancy returned from the Knights and played his best senior game whilst the remaining 21 were just as good. RESERVES: Brilliant but not enough to take the four 16 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record Coast Eagles and Collingwood.

A strong performance against Eltham last time and we are a better team this time around. UNDER-19: Disappointed in the first three quarters and couldn’t fault the last. Strong performances from the schoolies, who remain with us this week. As a unit we will be better off for the first game under the belt with a full compliment.

NFL. ORG. AU 17 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 MACLEOD We came away from a trip up the road to Lower Plenty with wins in the seniors and reserves and a close loss in the under-19s. LAST WEEK: Lower Plenty took it up to us from the start and it was clear they had come to play. With a few big outs we were on the back foot but we kept hanging in there. We held sway in the first half but a fired up Lower played with desperation and determination in the third quarter. Coach Ramsay put the acid test on a few players with a spirited three-quarter time address and the boys responded as a good side should. Hobbsy and Bluey (eight goals) provide a spark up forward and Hayden Seivers repelled many Bear forays into the front half. The twos bounced back and won comfortably with cult figure Noodle providing the highlight of the day with his first goal in Macleod colours. The under-19s were pipped on the post by four points after looking the goods for most of the day. SCOOTER 150: Justin ‘Scooter’ White plays his 150th game today, a great milestone for one of Macleod’s much-loved characters. Shy and retiring, Scooter has GREENSBOROUGH Today we head to Macleod. SENIORS: It was a tough day at the office for the seniors, who came up against the well-oiled machine that is Heidelberg. The Tigers controlled most of the play and we fell to our second straight loss, this time by 30 points. Josh Griffiths continued his stellar season with another great performance, whilst Ricky Mullins and Chris Clark were tough in the middle. This week against Macleod is a massive game as both teams sit at 6-4, just one game clear inside the top 5. The boys must ensure we get the W! RESERVES: Recorded a solid win over the third-placed Heidelberg, running out 37-point winners to keep top spot on the ladder. The guys have had a very promising start to the year and as we continue to regain more depth, the race for positions in the team will heat up. With pressure on every week to perform, there is no room for complacency of any kind. Josh Doherty was clearly best afield in a fantastic performance, he was ably supported by Cam Jordan and John Pritchard, with Caillin Kett again starring in the ruck. 18 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record asked for a low-key build-up and won’t be doing any media until post game. Scooter now has the honour of playing 150 games for both the junior and senior clubs – an outstanding achievement. Well played champ! LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT: After today’s clash against Greensborough, there will be live music in the social rooms starting around 5pm and going into the evening. BUSINESS LUNCH: Friday July 29: Melbourne’s bestknown funny man and Richmond tragic Mick Molloy will be the special guest at this year’s MFC Business Lunch at De Winton Park. The lunch will also feature another well-known Tiger – Jake ‘The Push-Up’ King. $75 includes 2-course lunch, and pre-lunch drinks package (beer, wine, champagne, and soft drink). Book with Michael Lovett 0418 380979 or Michael.Lovett@ afl.com.au. UNDER-19: The future stars had the weekend off and will look to get back on the winners list against Macleod today. SOCIAL NOTES: We have a few events on the horizon, with the Linen Day/Lunch coming up on July 9, as well as Joel Quinn playing afterwards on the same night at the rooms. Our next players social function is on July 16 and is BOROFEST, more details to follow. AROUND THE CLUB: Thanks to the players who participated in wearing orange boot laces to help raise awareness for StepBackThink’s #TeamLaceUp campaign to help stamp out social violence. Donations to the cause can still be made at the clubrooms. RUMOUR OF THE WEEK: With “Interesting Andrew Stellas” still off the grid overseas, we’ve had to look elsewhere for entertainment, with this juicy rumour doing the rounds at the Boro! Which Boro Boy is considering applying for the next season of ‘The Block’ as he feels he as a carpenter, and his Mrs as a prominent interior designer and artist are the “Perfect Prototype” to win the competition?

NFL. ORG. AU 19 MEADOWS GREYHOUNDS DIVISION 1 MONTMORENCY Today we offer a very warm welcome to our neighbours Lower Plenty SENIORS: It is incredible to think in Round 4 we sat bottom of the ladder and were facing a 41-point deficit against Greensborough. To now be sitting in the top five after Round 10 is a terrific effort. It was another terrific performance last week as seniors got the chocolates against West Preston-Lakeside. Ben Haynes was delighted with the very solid four-quarter performance. After a tight first quarter the visitors bounded away to run out 66-point victors. Ben Fennell continued his white-hot form in the midfield, Billy Jenkin made a great return in defence whilst James Brooker and Stephen McCalllum provided plenty of drive. The Magpies broke the 100-point barrier for the third week in a row on the back of multiple goals from Patrick Fitzgerald, Ben Walton and Ben Fennell. It is imperative we maintain our concentration against the Bears. RESERVES: Continue to escalate their competitiveness each week. Last Saturday were a little slow out of the boxes before a late rally saw us come up two goals LOWER PLENTY Today we make the long trip North to take on Montmorency. SENIORS: Started well against Macleod last week and in what is becoming a bit of a common trait fell away towards the end of the day. Goal Kickers: D. Barden 4, C. Sleep 2, A. Doumtsis 2, T. Pettie, P. Flynn, R. Gray; Best Players: D. Barden, P. Flynn, R. Gray, B. Poyser, C. Monger, T. Pettie RESERVES: The reserves struggled in a big loss to Macleod. Goal Kickers: B. Equid, L. Groves, T.

Keep Sunday the 7th August free. Tickets will be available shortly. 20 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record short. Alek Tsardakis booted five goals, with Lewis Franz, Luke Chiocci and Jackson Nunan among the strongest contributors. Today’s clash is a critical match for Mark Spinosa’s team in the quest to keep the season alive. UNDER-19: Made it five in a row and consolidated second place on the ladder after Saturday’s demolition of West Preston-Lakeside. The Mont crew produced four quarters of very solid footy against the Roosters to run out 99-point winners. The Mont defence was again outstanding and the ability to restrict the opposition scoring has been a hallmark in 2016. Tom Davis booted five with Jackson Jones, Jacob Fahey and Callum Stubs very prominent for the Magpies. Today’s game against Lower Plenty looks to be a danger game in what is proving to be a competitive grade of footy. FAMILY DAY: Tomorrow at the clubrooms. The day features the $10,000 Monster Draw and commences at midday. To purchase a ticket contact Mark Smith 0407 855 700 or Mick Grattan 0413 388 538.

NORTHCOTE PARK See you all on Sunday at our away game against our Darebin neighbours West Preston, where we hope to retain the McNiece/Mellerick Cup. SENIORS: After a disappointing loss last week, the team was keen to bounce back. Welcome additions to this week’s team were Schultzy, debutant Tom Jackson and Ben McNiece. In heavy conditions, the game was very tight, with both teams giving their all. The third quarter especially saw tremendous pressure being applied by both teams. Whilst the game was very close, at three quarter time the Cougar faithful could sense something special was about to happen. What happened in the last quarter was magnificent! The boys completed dominated, keeping Eltham scoreless and without a forward 50 entry, whilst managing to kick six goals ourselves. Shawy was marking everything within his grasp and when he was wasn’t Mannon and Aaron were crumbling and kicking goals. The defence, led by Jules, Damo, Bosca, Sutts and Chill were very tight. RESERVES: During the week David “The Weasel” Ienco announced his retirement and to mark his valued contribution, he was afforded the honour of leading the 22 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record LADIES FOOTBALL: The club will field an open age ladies team in next year’s NFL Women’s League.

The boys got off to a great start, leading by four goals at quarter time. Whilst, the team was never headed, the next three quarters were very close tussle with the margin being only a goal with six minutes to play. Nevertheless, the team rallied and were determined to win and see off their popular comrade in style, which they duly did and carried him off to much applause by the Cougar faithful. Solid contributors were Maxy Coutts, Micky Naldrett and Koden. Thanks to under-19 players, Daniel Brown, Kieran Jacksic, Brandon Brown, Liam Waldron and Janus Waldron who filled in. UNDER-19: Extremely slow start, with Eltham kicking the first three goals before our boys realised the game was being played. The boys started to lift in the second quarter, with Alistair giving his all in the ruck and Andre and Matty Brown laying tackle after tackle. The next three quarters were very competitive, during this time Simmo and Kizza were playing everywhere and keeping the boys in the game. The 34-point loss was not indicative of the competitive nature of the game. SOCIAL: $100 Day is on Sunday July 24 at Bill Lawry Oval. Big money to be won. See Joe Amad for tickets. GO COUGARS!

On paper it appears a straight-forward week for the finals-bound teams, but as always is the case in Division 2, results are hard to predict. Heading into Round 12, Hurstbridge is three wins and a percentage clear atop the Division 2 ladder. A flawless opening nine games has aided the Bridges’ hopes of clinching the minor premiership, but it is the Holy Grail in September that is the bigger prize for the club from Greysharps Rd. This round begins with Panton Hill and North Heidelberg facing off at Cracknell Reserve. Panton Hill slipped to sixth place following a 26-point defeat to the Fitzroy Stars last Saturday, where a slow start was costly, with the Redbacks’ 28-points behind at the first break. It was their third straight defeat and after some promising weeks, they are now fighting to stay off the bottom of the ladder. Tyler Scarce was once again voted as one of Panton Hill’s best players in last week’s loss at Sir Douglas Nicholls Oval, along with Daniel Haynes and Matthew Duckworth. Haynes was also handy up forward, booting three goals, along with coach Joffa Byron who kicked three majors. North Heidelberg’s five-game winning run came to an end when it narrowly lost to undefeated Hurstbridge by nine points. Trailing by 50 points at half time, the Bulldogs kicked 11-second half goals to nearly pinch a remarkable win – closing within three points in the last quarter. Pasquale Saccuzzo nullified the impact of Tom Simpson in the second half and was voted the Bulldogs’ best performer, while Shane Harvey was instrumental and kicked three of his four goals in the final term. The Bulldogs will take confidence from their secondhalf display but the first half would have been a worry for coach, Stephen Saddington. A goalless opening half is disappointing no matter the opposition, but when it is against the best side in the competition, it usually means the game is over. Lalor slipped to the bottom of the ladder following a 70-point annihilation to former cellar-dweller, Thomastown. Lalor’s task doesn’t get easier this week when it hosts Fitzroy Stars. In what would be described as their worst performance by Christopher Chrysostomou for the season, the Bloods allowed Thomastown to kick 20 goals against them for the second time this season, after also slipping to a 39-point loss when the teams met in the opening round. Todd Hughes was the only bright spot for the Bloods, with his five goals increasing his season tally to 38 majors – meaning he has booted 40.8% of the Bloods’ goals for the season. Jhye Baddeley-Kelly and Shane Jacobs were also good, but better performances from the rest of the team will be required for the Bloods to find a way off the bottom. This week the Bloods come up against a Stars side in good form. The Stars have won three of their past four and have opened up a two-game gap on fifth-placed Thomastown. Against Panton Hill, Daniel Francis, John Hayes and Kain Proctor all kicked three goals, while Lionel Proctor, Clinton Benjamin and Mungara Brown were standout performers. Round 4 was the last time these sides played each other and it was the Stars who held on for a twopoint win, courtesy of four goals to Daniel Francis and Michaelis McMasters. The final game of Round 12 sees Thomastown host third-placed Diamond Creek at Main Street Reserve. Following four weeks at the bottom of the table, Thomastown moved up two spots courtesy of its win over Lalor. The Bears’ score of 132 was the first time since Round 1 they have kicked over 100 points in a game. Meanwhile, Lalor’s score of 62 was the lowest the Bears have conceded this season. Michael Di Battista kicked five goals in his second game senior game following a long injury layoff, Jacob Osei-Duro found form with four goals and Matthew Dirkx and James Rizzolio played great games. Diamond Creek will be hoping the bye has not affected the form it displayed in its last outing. In Round 10, the Demons accounted for Lalor by 72 points. Jack Prosser’s two goals and all round performance saw him voted the Demons’ best player, while Nathan Searl kicked three goals. A win this weekend would put the Creekers in a strong position to play finals for the first time since 2013. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 27 DIVISION 2 THOMASTOWN For the first time in a while we played a complete game of football against Lalor. SENIORS: The first quarter was a dour struggle and we found ourselves holding a slender lead at quarter time. From then on we maintained our ascendency and to see us build on our lead as the game wore on was very encouraging. Hopefully that is the match that turns around our fortunes for the back half of the year. We have some challenges ahead but that’s what makes the coming weeks exciting. RESERVES: We did what we had to do against a depleted reserves line up. It was a genuine team performance with everyone making a solid contribution. The win helped us solidify a spot in the top three and now a big game awaits against Diamond Creek. It sounds very cliché but this week is an eightpoint game and, in front of our home crowd, we need to be at our best to get a positive result. NETBALL: The five netball teams are having great seasons and, whilst the crowd support has been fair, we still need our members to get down on a Friday DIAMOND CREEK We return from the bye to take on Thomastown SENIORS: In trying wet conditions we seemed to adjust to the conditions better than Lalor. After a slow start in the first quarter, with only two goals kicked, we managed four goals for each of the other quarters. Our defence was again a strong point and we managed to restrict Lalor for the majority of the match. We have nine contributors to the goal scoring but we can still improve on the goals to points ratio. RESERVES: After the first quarter it looked like being a tough slog for the day with both teams showing good defence. The conditions made it tough going and no one was giving an inch. The second quarter looked like a completely different game with our defence holding strong but we got more ball out of the centre and managed to accelerate the score. This trend continued until the end of the game and resulted in a comfortable win. Eight goal contributors, led by Todd Owen with four. Another good win just past the halfway mark of the season. 28 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record night and lend their voice to the netball cause.

I have stuff to do!’ ” SOCIAL NEWS: Our next function is the “Oktoberfest” which will be at the clubrooms on Saturday the 23rd of July. More details to follow soon. Also, another reminder that the annual Reverse Draw will be held at the rooms on Saturday the 30th of July, so lock in the dates now. UNDER-19: Have had two games since the last report and winning both has moved us to the top of the ladder. The Epping game, who have been the giant killers this season, started as tough game. Again we were slow out of the blocks and that may be because we hadn’t played for two weeks due to a bye and walkover. Eventually we got started and finished off with a comfortable win. It was good to see Ryan Payne back after injury and scoring goals. Last week was the battle for top spot against undefeated Banyule, who we edge out in a great competitive game. NETBALL: Have enjoyed success in Division 1, 2 and 3 over the past two weeks and Division 4 suffered two losses by 1 and 5 goals. We are on the cusp of having all 4 win in the same week.

AU 35 DIVISION 2 LALOR Today we come up against the Fitzroy Stars who are going along nicely. SENIORS: Thomastown were too quick and more desperate for the ball and the scoreboard showed the result. We can make excuses for injuries but the effort has to be given or we will suffer for the rest of the year. Goal Kickers: T. Hughes 5, J. King 2, S. Smith, R. McDonald; Best Players: T. Hughes, J. Baddeley-Kelly, S. Jacobs, K. Toronis, R. Marshall, J. Freebairn. RESERVES: The reserves struggled for numbers and were belted by the top team in the competition. Goal Kickers: J. Arceri 2, M. Roumanos 2, B. Wheatley; Best Players: D. Henderson, J. Baldasso, A. Barker, J. Arceri, D. Polidano, A. Sneddon. AROUND THE TRAPS: The goal of the year has to belong to Rhino after baulking three players and drilling a goal from 70 metres. That’s what he was telling everyone late Saturday night. But I think the video will show the truth. Pouchy was very animated last Saturday coming up with a few comments. The FITZROY STARS This week we have Lalor as we look to build some momentum going into the business end of the season. SENIORS: Coming off the bye it was imperative to capitalise on the good form we generated from the four previous weeks. Panton Hill got us last time with a barnstorming finish and there was no way we were going to allow that again, particularly in Jacko’s 150th and Jai and Alboy’s 100th. The opening term was our finest, with six-goals to two.. Hayes got off to a flyer, as did Kain and Mungara. After quarter time it was a real arm wrestle. Every time the Redbacks mounted a charge we would answer with a goal. This happened all day, with the Stars running out 26-point winners. In his 150th for the club Jacko turned back the clock to be BOG, with Benji nipping at his heals. Mungara loved the boggy conditions with Jai amassing 12 tackles and Hayes and Franga both slotting three, with Hayesy bringing up his 500th goal for the club. RESERVES: Also had a terrific game with a very strong line-up consisting of many senior players and they played accordingly. With Seado’s 300th on the line 36 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record printable ones, “We never played like this” and “Here comes the puppet, the couch has his hand up your back.” Our condolences to the McQuinn family on the passing of Alf. Alf played back in the 70s at the ripe old age of 40 and was a gentle giant with a big fist. TODAY: Today we come up against the Fitzroy Stars who are going along nicely. We came up 2 points short last time against them so a team effort today can put a smile back on the supporters’ faces. GO BLOODS! everyone pitched in to record a 51-point win, with Seado the best, followed by Koolyn, Marlon, and big Potts. NETBALL: Our netballers had a successful night with a draw, three wins and a close loss. The firsts had a draw against Greensborough, the second side got up against Diamond Creek 39-34, Whittlesea got our thirds 40–26 while the fourths and fifths got home against the two Thomastown sides. TOOL OF THE WEEK: While our CEO has not put a foot wrong since joining the club seven years ago, it was with great delight the boys caught him out with a fashion gaffe. After doing some shopping for an upcoming wedding, SMC was tickled pink with his efforts to come up with some fashionable shirts and shoes. After explaining how good his Van Heusen shirts were, SMC was questioned on the name of the shoes. He responded with “something Smiths, Wilson or William or Wilbar Smiths”. His efforts to be trendy fell on deaf ears with all the laughter, and he is now referred to as Wilba. Anyone interested, it is actually Windsor Smith.

AU 37 DIVISION 2 PANTON HILL This week we welcome North Heidelberg and both sides really need to be on their game to improve on our performances when we last met the Doggies. Seniors almost got there in Round 2. FOOTBALL: We were just a fraction short in both the senior and reserves matches last week against Fitzroy Stars. We had a lot of the footy. It looked like we could go on with it, let it slip away, then looked like a chance again, then let it go. Seems to happen a little too often but it’s the main thing the club and the coaches have been working on this year to bridge that last little gap we need to put sides away regularly. That’s both teams! Our best in the ones were T.J, Haynesy, Matty Duckworth, Chook, Scotty and Dinesy…oh, Joffa got airborne and it’s been suggested there was some “hang time”. The twos’ best included Josh Barton, Dan Taylor, evergreen Pratty, Ben Hibberd, Micky Linton and Benny Mitchell. SOCIAL: The annual PHFC Ladies Luncheon has been rescheduled to Saturday, July 30 and will be held at the Panton Hill Hotel. Last year the event raised $6,000 for NORTH HEIDELBERG This week a further ride up the mountain to Panton Hill where the big boys will look to bounce back from our loss at Hurstbridge. For all teams leave nothing to chance and hopefully the result will look after itself. SENIORS: Could not buy a goal in the first half and the Bridges were too slick and dominating across the ground, being 50 points ahead at the long break. We regrouped thought about what we are here for and came out a different team to get within three points in the last, however could not get across the line. We take plenty out of it but need to work on those starts so let’s get it right today. Best: P. Saccuzzo, M. Florance, D. Bramich, L. Villanti, J. Iezzi and L. Gilbert. RESERVES: Terrific win against a quality opponent, just shows what can be done with application, commitment and supporting each other. Side getting stronger by the week however let’s stay focussed and not give Panton Hill a sniff today. Best: G. Ozusen, L. McNeil and J. Bentley.

JUNIORS: No games this week being the middle of the school holidays but next week our under-11s meet Keon Park on their ground at 10am while the under-13s face up to South Morang at Cracknell also at 10am. Would be great to see the seniors at a couple of games supporting the kids. Special mention for another milestone two weeks ago. Jay Newman played his 75th game. Congratulations Jay and we’re all looking forward to celebrate your next milestone game at Panton Hill. THINK ABOUT THIS: Boy gets home from school and says “Dad, I’ve got a part in the school play as a man who’s been married for 25 years.” His Dad replies “Nevermind son, maybe next time you’ll get a speaking part!” GO HILLERS! pushed Hurstbridge last time around. Today we have the opportunity to make amends so play to the ability that you are capable of and stick to the plan and you are a real chance for another win. Best: S. Lennen, J. Hall and C. Hayes. NETBALL: The netballers had one win out of four last Friday however all teams entrenched in the four or on the edge so plenty to play for to season end.

The Burra came from behind at the last break to pull away for an 18-point victory. Ex-Reservoir premiership player Toby O’Meara booted four in his first senior game for St Mary’s. “We had been playing well without getting a result,” St Mary’s coach Con Borg said. “But, especially when we got headed, it was a great show of character after three quarter time.” While the game for second place was tight, all three bottom teams disappointed and were beaten by big margins. Watsonia accelerated after half time against Banyule at R.J. Brockwell Oval to win by 65 points. The win puts the Saints three games clear of the Bears. Jeremy Bennett slotted five goals for Watsonia – his best haul for 2016. “In the second half, it was great to see our pressure and our Watsonia brand of footy,” Watsonia coach Corey McCall said. “Credit to Watsonia,” Banyule coach Jason Plant said. “They turned up the heat in the second half; our guys panicked and threw the game plan out. Some players need to have a good, hard look in the mirror in terms of their honesty and accountability.” South Morang scored 26 goals despite heavy conditions in its 134-point demolition of Heidelberg West at Mill Park Lakes Reserve. With good delivery from further afield, Kane Maghamez, Paul Harrison and Wayne Pavitt combined for eighteen goals. “(We’re) really looking forward to next week against Epping,” Lions coach Dean Grainger said after the game. “As close as the competition is, it will be a good challenge for both sides.” After some improved performances, the big loss was a low point for the Hawks. “We’ve just got to keep our heads,” Heidelberg West coach Grant Toms said. “We have another seven weeks to go and think positive.” In a similar score to their Round 2 encounter, Epping flew out of the blocks to record a 130-point win over Kilmore at J.J. Clancy Reserve. Aaron Willits bagged 11 goals, bettering his 10-goal haul in Round 2, and was instrumental in breaking the game open early. “We got off to a really good start,” Epping coach Greg by Doug Long Whitcroft said. “But after half time Kilmore fought back, showed a bit of spirit and made it harder for us to score.” Sixteen-year-old Calder Cannons-listed player Liam Middleton did well in his second game for Kilmore. “Playing Epping today was definitely a learning curve for our development,” Kilmore coach Travis McCarty said. “We face another challenge in travelling to Heidelberg West in a game we feel will be a tight contest with both teams hungry for a victory.” Round 12 provides some interesting match-ups at both ends of the ladder. At the bottom, Heidelberg West hosts Kilmore at Heidelberg Park. Their only previous meeting resulted in a 69-point win by Kilmore at J.J. Clancy Reserve and it will be a vital match for the Hawks as they attempt to open their account for the 2016 season. Mernda will be looking to get back on the winners’ list with a home game at Waterview Recreation Reserve against Banyule. With their finals hopes looking over, the Bears would love nothing more than to notch a win over a top-four team after several near misses. Mernda will be favoured after their only other meeting resulted in a 41-point win in a polished display at R.J. Brockwell Oval. In a match-up between the potent forward lines of Round 11, fourth-placed South Morang travels to Epping Recreation Reserve to play Epping. For the top of the table Blues, this is the first of three vital games in a row against premiership hopefuls – with tussles against St Mary’s and Mernda to follow. The Lions have won seven out of eight to almost match Epping’s seven-straight victories. Epping’s last loss was to South Morang by 14 points at Mill Park Lakes Reserve in Round 4. Watsonia ended St Mary’s six-game unbeaten streak in Round 7 at Whatmough Park with a convincing win and now the two combatants face off in a vital game at A.K. Lines Reserve. Should the Saints win by about three goals or more, they would move ahead of the Burra on the ladder. Meanwhile, a St Mary’s win could possibly see them share top spot on the ladder. WWW. NFL. ORG. AU 43 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 EPPING Today’s matches are sure to be hotly contested and will no doubt show us where we are at. THE CLUB: After a couple of good wins last week on an icy cold day at Kilmore (who have the best sausage rolls in the league!) we face South Morang at home today. Just a reminder tomorrow is the Annual $5K Draw. Tickets are still available, please see Kim Chambers. SENIORS: We had a great start for a change, kicking nine in the first quarter which was very encouraging. We moved the ball very well at times, however in the second half Kilmore had a lot of the ball and made us work very hard to gain possession with their possession game and attack on the ball. RESERVES: With a few of the boys pulling out it was going to be hard but, to the boys’ credit, we hit the ground running with two of our smallest lads having a day out! Tommy “Eddie Betts” Emmins kicked seven and Dom joined in with six as we managed 10 goal kickers. Special mention to Fergs who seemed to have the ball SOUTH MORANG This week it’s off to Epping for all three games. LAST WEEK: We hosted Heidelberg West who we know give their all each week and keep turning up. We played a lot better footy but then again so we should. SENIORS: This will be another season-defining game as if we win we could be as high as second and consolidate our place in the top four. Lose and we could again be out of the top four.

Dickson UNDER-19: After last week’s fiasco with Panton Hill we need to just get on the park and play as best we can 44 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record on a string. After creating a 40m lead and commanding the ball, Bennett decided to hit up Nashy lace out, Fergs dropped to his knees with his hands on his head and shouted “he burnt me!” much to the amusement of the bench. Another special mention to Herbie after his first game after a 10-year hiatus! Now he just needs to work on kicking the ball higher than 400mm off the ground! Choc was everywhere with his head over the footy, so much so that he required a headband change at each of break. This week is a big test against ladder leaders South Morang. We must be switched on from the very first bounce; we don’t want to lose at home! UNDER-19: It was a good effort for three quarters. We faded out in the last giving Kilmore a comfortable win. We will have to play a lot better than that to bring home the four points this week. UPCOMING EVENTS: July 9 – Teams of the Century Presentation. Please contact Steve Passeri for tickets on 0431 707 473/ WEBSITE: www.eppingfc.com.au against Epping and ensure we keep putting pressure on the two teams above us.

NFL. ORG. AU 45 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 HEIDELBERG WEST Today we welcome Kilmore to Heidelberg Park for the very first time. With the boys still searching for a win, it is sure to be an action packed contest. SENIORS: Started strongly last week against South Morang and we were competitive during the first and third quarters but blown away by the Lions potent forward set-up during the other quarters. Liam Pender continues to play strong football and was ably supported by handles, Stephen, Brucey and Brad. RESERVES: Came up against a very outfit strong South Morang outfit and we battled hard but were simply outclassed. Looking to double up against Kilmore this week after beating them back in Round 3. Best players in defeat were Gally, Josh and Lewy. NETBALL: The netball girls are really flying and continue to build momentum and currently sit on top of the ladder! Great work ladies, keep up the great work. SOCIAL NOTES: The next two social functions are the Player Night on the 9th of July and the $3,000 Draw which is on the 30th of July. KILMORE This week we travel south to take on Heidelberg West. SENIORS: In Round 11 we hosted the Epping at J.J Clancy Reserve. Going into this game, Epping had lost only the two games for the season and were sitting on top of the ladder. Unfortunately, this game proved to be a long tough day for our boys, as we had no answers against a side that was well drilled, experienced and showed why they are the team to beat in the competition. Young star Liam Middleton was adjudged our best player on ground, whilst Brian Bell and Darcy Bedggood were just some to be named in our best. Even though the result is a difficult one to accept, as a group we are continuing to learn and understand as to what is required to become a better team and what it takes to match it with the best. This learning curb is another step in the development process for the future as we strive together. UNDER-19: We played Epping and we needed to regroup after a hard-fought loss to Banyule the week prior, but I knew if we could improve we had a big 46 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record HAWKS LEGEND MEMBERSHIP: To commemorate the 80th year celebration of our mighty club, our membership package, The Hawk Legends, will become an exclusive membership.

With some players back in this week it would certainly help our chances. Conditions were pretty wet and muddy so we really needed to start well, which we did. We missed a few chances but in the first half we played some pretty good football. At the half time break we spoke about keeping the pressure up and to keep working together, and also how ordinary our third quarters have been. Well the start of the third saw us slipping again, so I need to change players around. This seemed to help us and we had a small lead at the last break. I just asked the boys to keep working hard and the win would be theirs. Our last quarter was by far our best. The whole group worked together and came away with a strong win. NETBALL: Overall the Kilmore netball is improving every week and we are seeing consistent games from all teams. We are really enjoying the new league and are excited about the future for KFNC.

NFL. ORG. AU 47 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 MERNDA Last Saturday we lost three games that we had led during crucial stages of the second half. We must make sure that we do not do that ever again. SENIORS: The context of the season meant that we needed a win to get two games clear of third, and we blew it with St Mary’s kicking six goals in the last quarter. All in all, it was a very disappointing loss… it was a game where we took over control in the third quarter and we ended up letting them run around doing as they pleased and they kicked four goals in seven minutes to start the last quarter. Lezzy lead from the front, Joshy played well, Carders was busy, but it was just very disappointing. RESERVES: Equally as disappointing was the way the reserves lost, after holding a 13-point lead during the last quarter. St Mary’s kicked the last three goals of the game and we lost by four points in the end. Welchy played well, as did Hammer, who kicked four goals. Irrespective of the result, we wish Sass on the best in his recovery from a serious ankle injury that he sustained yesterday – we’re right behind you, mate. BANYULE All three sides are on the road this week when we travel to Waterview Recreation Reserve to play Mernda. SENIORS: Another week with another very young side which looks like a promising bright future for this proud club. From the get go we never adjusted to the conditions which made our skills very poor throughout the whole day. Our young kids were able to hold their own but Watsonia were much more experience and bigger bodied who just ran away in the second half.

Biscontin, J. Smith, W. Drapac, D. Langford, R. French. RESERVES: A game that got away for us in the end, with the match ending as draw. We had a lead that we should have held onto but we didn’t capitalise in front of the scoreboard. The first half saw a slow start from both sides with no one really taking control. The second half we took the edge going into the last quarter but we couldn’t go on with it. We look forward to another 48 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record UNDER-19: The first frustrating game of the day was the under-19s having 28 scoring shots to 14 and still finding a way to lose by a point. Some very poor kicking in front of goal was the culprit, and that means we now have a bit of a mountain to climb in terms of getting into the finals. Jamie and Seb were very good, as was Luce, while Tickets and Blacky kicked a couple of goals each. NETBALL: Mernda 1 went down to Greensborough in a tight encounter, losing 38-29, while Mernda 2 was unable to get the job done against Hurstbridge, losing 34-16. Mernda 3 also went down last Friday night, losing 23-17. TODAY: Now that we’ve blown last Saturday, every game is now crucial in the context of our season, and it starts with Banyule today. We simply cannot afford to drop another game in any grade for the rest of the season, it’s as simple as that. challenge this week in Mernda.

NFL. ORG. AU 49 HEIDELBERG GOLF CLUB DIVISION 3 WATSONIA Today we face second placed St Mary’s at A.K. Lines Reserve. LAST WEEK: Last week we went out to Banyule for what was a reasonably successful day. SENIORS: After Banyule got the jump on us we steadied through fantastic delivery to our forwards. Jezz sensed a big bag and didn’t get sent off this week. Having 22 instead of 21 helps a lot as it turns out and we took a comfortable lead into half time. After half time the Banyule boys sounded determined to ‘break the hoodoo’ against us but they’ll have to keep hoping as we ran away in the third. Jezz was on fire and really entertained the Bucks party on the hill. Another fine win, looking to get another today against another side we’ve experienced success against in recent history. Goal Kickers: J. Bennett 5, J. Larkin 4, A. Alfonsi 2, H. Mitchell 2, M. Buzinskas 2, A. Bennett, J. Haber, J. Brown; Best Players: X. Kelly, H. Mitchell, J. Bennett, J. Larkin, J. Allan, M. Buzinskas ST MARY’S Watsonia away is always a tough assignment, but today in the new clash strip, it’s time to put the past behind us and accelerate our claims to be the best side in Division 3 MERCHANDISE: The new hoodies look great, a new supply of polos has also arrived so no excuses for supporters not to proudly wear the colours to every game. See Adam Lucci or Matt Patti. FOOTBALL: Rising to meet challenges is an important part of how a club is perceived from outside and within. Last Saturday against Mernda, all three teams overcame the odds to come out victorious. The under19s turned around a Round 4, 75-point loss to outlast the opposition by one point. The twos came from behind to record a nail-biting four-point win, whilst the seniors came from 10 points down at three quarter time to run out 22-point winners. Dillan Ronalds, Mitch Lee and Matt Dambrauskas were named best for their respective sides. We now have the seniors and reserves in the top two, with the 19s just one game out of the four. NETBALL: Fair to say, Friday night was disappointing 50 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record RESERVES: Last time we played this mob they rolled us by 110 points, and considering some of the outs we had even the biggest of optimists would have found this to be a hard day at the office. We were able to stick with Banyule for the first half through some fine work from Sam Lieshman and Tom Frawley. The third quarter saw Banyule get a bit of a break but we were still in touch. We were able to swing the momentum in the last quarter but just couldn’t get over the line, with the match ending in a draw. GO WATS! for the three teams, for different reasons. The firsts remain a game clear on top, despite losing to seventhplaced Bundoora, 21-33. The seconds almost pulled off a great victory against top-placed Watsonia, but ended with a 29-all draw to stay two games out of the four. The third team went down 37-12 to second-placed West Ivanhoe and need to start stringing wins together quickly. SPONSORS: Recently, we held our inaugural Business Forum and luncheon..
