EDITORIAL
There is no
doubt the
standard of
community
football goes
from strength to
strength every
year.
“LEVEL” PLAYING FIELD
With the age of professionalism now
well embedded in the elite sector of our
sport, the “spill-down” into community
level is having a dramatic effect. The
number of players continuing their
careers in the NFL after high level
engagement has never been higher
and that certainly brings a great deal to
the competition.
From a coaching perspective, areas
such as the application of sports science
principles, video analysis of matches
and intensive skill development have
become standard practice. It’s been six
years since I retired from football and I
remember just a few years earlier our
medical team attempting to implement
recovery protocols, including ice baths.
Their early attempts were in vain as
the baths quickly become cooling tubs
for post game beverages. However, as
more players came into the side from
AFL, VFL and TAC Cup backgrounds, the
acceptance changed and the practice
became entrenched.
Most of the areas of improvement in
football are intellectual properties - the
results of research, theories and acquired
knowledge. Most of these intellectual
properties are there for all to share,
disseminated in articles, seminars and
development sessions or just through
the visual nature of their application.
From that perspective, all community
clubs are equal. All clubs have the
ability to seek and obtain the necessary
personnel to apply such knowledge.
Numerous seminars and accreditation
courses are staged throughout the year
in all sectors of the sport (coaching,
medical, administration) to provide
community clubs with as much an even
playing field as possible.
However, where there is not an even
playing field is, well, essentially the
playing field (and associated facilities).
Whilst there is an acceptance that
football grounds come in all shapes
THE NORTHERNER
and sizes, the sophistication of a facility
can have a dramatic effect on a club’s
operation. Is the ground and facilities
conducive to team success? Are the
social rooms suitable for club functions?
Most of the councils within the NFL
boundaries have recognised that many
of their community sporting facilities
are dated, tired and, in some cases,
unsuitable. However, ground and facility
upgrades take a lot of time to discuss,
plan and finalise; not to mention costing
an extraordinary amount of money.
That leaves us in the unfortunate situation
of the “haves” and “have nots” within our
community and in some cases, facilities
that are not commensurate with the
standard of football the NFL now finds
itself producing.
The NFL is looking to dedicate resources
to assist clubs with their facility planning
and funding procurement. Along with
that, AFL Victoria and the AFL have
identified Metropolitan Melbourne as
their next focus point with regards to
infrastructure support (after investing in
Regional Victoria for the past five years).
With the boundaries of the league
extending across many municipalities,
there will always be differences in facility
standards across our 55 clubs. However,
whether the issue be the playing surface,
social facilities, change and preparation
facilities or spectator amenities, the
NFL will be looking to ensure our clubs
have the best opportunity to access
the limited funding available through
government sources.
The standard of our competition and
the impact and influence it has on the
community demands that.

500 and Counting for Hamer
Bundoora legend
Andrew Hamer will
etch his way into
football immortality
this weekend when
he becomes the
first player in NFL/
DVFL history to play
500 games.
An eight-time premiership winner
across all three grades at Bundoora,
Hamer reaches the feat when he steps
out for battle in this weekend’s reserves
clash against Montmorency.
Ahead of the grand occasion, former
Bundoora secretary and sponsorship
manager Phil Walker reflects on
Hamer’s 29 years at Yulong Reserve.
AS a young club secretary back in 1984
it was my task to hand out the guernsey
numbers to senior players as part of our
pre-season launch.
The number 14 was handed to a fresh
faced 17-year-old kid named Andrew
‘Pickles’ Hamer.
A product of the Bundoora juniors he
had shown some signs in the under-18s
that he was likely to be a senior player.
But nobody at the club could
envisage how great a player he would
turn out to be.
At 17, he was tall enough for senior
football at 179cm but at only 72kgs
some at Bundoora were concerned
how his slight frame would cope with
the demands of Division 1 Diamond
Valley football.
In those days, strong and physical
contact was not only acceptable, but
encouraged by many clubs as a quality
required to survive in the game at that
level. You not only had to be able to
give it out, but you had to be able to
take it.
Our fears were soon quashed as he
not only coped in the top flight, but
became a dominant player in our first
18 almost immediately.
Possessed with blistering speed and a
raking left foot kick, he bamboozled
his more experienced opponents
almost from the outset with his
anticipation, limitless courage and
hunger for the football.
Those in the opposition who chose
to exert undue physical tactics upon
Andrew more often than not found him
steaming away from them or moving
laterally at the last moment to make
them look foolish.
Bundoora fans of the time marvelled
at his long dashes down the wing, his
limitless courage, and his ability to
finish with a brilliant goal or to set up a
team mate in a better position.
Courted by VFA and VFL clubs early
in his career, Pickles resisted their
advances and remained a Bundoora
player throughout.
His accolades make for impressive
reading as champion player and
clubman from the outset as outlined in
his profile below.
Pickles got even better with age,
culminating in deserved team success
where he was an important member of
the 1995 and 1996 senior premierships.
This was a fitting reward for a club
champion and the culmination of a
great career.
Most supporters and committee
members expected he would retire
soon after the premiership wins. After
all he was 31 years old and had already
played more than 200 senior games.
But quietly spoken and humble Pickles
had other ideas and decided to play on
and coach the reserves.
He didn’t just play in the reserves, he
starred for them.
He captain-coached the reserves to two
premierships and topped the reserves
league and club goal kicking tables on
several occasions.
At 48 years of age he plays on (and on
and on and on) and his contribution
to the Bundoora Football Club and his
positive influence on the careers of so
many players has seen him contribute
immeasurably to the enduring success
of the Bundoora Football Club over the
past 30 years.
His achievement can not only be
measured in how many games he has
played, rather by the respect he has
gained from all whom he has played
with and against.
The number 14 jumper sits proudly in
the Yulong Reserve club rooms and
Pickles will remain a hero not just to
the Bundoora Football Club but to the
game itself.

WINGMAN Off-Field Champion Award
The Northern
Football League in
partnership with
the AFL Coaches
Association (AFLCA)
and the Victorian Government last
Friday launched the Wingman Off
Field Champion Awards Program.
The awards program is part of the
Victorian Government’s Wingman
campaign, which aims to tackle alcoholrelated violence among young adults.
The Wingman campaign encourages
young people to take responsibility for
themselves and their mates when out
having a good time, to avoid alcoholfuelled situations.
The Wingman Off-Field Champions
Awards Program recognises players
aged 18 – 25 years who demonstrate
behaviour off the field – whether
it’s in the pub, among friends, or
while kicking the footy – that sets an
example for other young Victorians.
CEO of the AFLCA Danny Frawley, along
with former AFL player and media
personality Michael Roberts were in
attendance at the Northern Football
League headquarters to launch the
initiative alongside Lower Plenty
captain Billy Barden and Montmorency
youngster Jack Pitts.
“The Government and the AFL coaches
have really thrown their weight behind
this because they’ve all come from
community football and it’s basically a
way of reintroducing the best clubman
which will now be called the Wingman,”
Mr Frawley said.
“It’s all about responsible drinking
and someone who might organise
designated taxis or even organise
responsible social events – things that
might happen naturally but things that
we want to recognise as the Wingman
at each club.”
Clubs will be asked to nominate a player
providing details of their leadership
with the winner to receive a cash prize
and a plaque. The player’s club will also
receive a sporting equipment voucher
and a signed Sherrin football.
The league winner will also be eligible
to be named the Wingman of the Year
with further cash prizes for the player
and club to be awarded at an AFLCA
Gala Dinner.
In addition to the awards program,
the AFLCA will support the antiviolence campaign by encouraging
everyday Victorians to take the pledge
to be a Wingman.
By taking the pledge, people become
eligible to enter a competition to win
two tickets to the AFL Grand Final
or have an AFL Coach attend a club
training session at their local ground.

Clean Up Our Game – Recycle!
Footy fans are being called on to recycle and keep our footy grounds clean
from litter. Most of the waste generated at a footy game is recyclable, that’s why
Whittlesea, Darebin and Nillumbik Councils have teamed up with the NFL to
encourage fans to help “Clean Up Our Game – Recycle”.
This project provides a great opportunity for footy fans to recycle at the footy games
they attend and help make a positive change in the community by raising awareness
about recycling and reducing litter!
Recycle!
Fans can now use the yellow lidded recycling bins at the football grounds
to recycle their glass and plastic drink bottles, cans, cardboard food containers,
cardboard coffee cups, newspapers and magazines! Remember some items such as
plastic bags, soft plastic wrappers / wraps and food cannot be recycled -please put
these items in the rubbish bin. For more information about what can and can’t be
recycled please visit your local Council website.
Litter around the ground is not only unsightly but costs the community money and
can pose health and safety risks. Cleaning up litter costs Victorian taxpayers over $50
million dollars each year!
Next time you are at the footy, make sure that you use the right bin, and recycle! By
recycling one aluminium can you are saving enough energy to run your television for
three hours – or for one whole footy game!
Help keep your football ground in good condition, make a valuable contribution to your
community and the environment by recycling at the footy and avoiding litter.
Let’s all Clean Up Our Game Recycle!

THE Highlighter – Round 9
LOWER PLENTY V WHITTLESEA
It may not be a battle between two
premiership contenders, but today’s
match at Montmorency Park shapes as
a mini final for both Lower Plenty and
Whittlesea.
After eight rounds the sides sit ninth
and tenth respectively on the Division
1 ladder and this afternoon’s encounter
could play a large role in deciding this
year’s relegation battle.
Both teams head into the clash with a
1-7 record after a difficult opening two
months of the 2012 season.
Lower Plenty, the newcomer to the top
flight after a dominant season in Division
2 last year, has been competitive in all
but one of its games in 2012, though has
only a solitary win over Montmorency to
show for its efforts.
The one win was a famous one, with the
Bears jumping their arch rival early on to
race to a 21-point lead at quarter time.
Despite kicking only four goals after the
first break, they held on for an 11-point
win, the result the biggest surprise in
Division 1 so far this season.
Billy Barden is having a superb season
and has elevated his reputation even
further after finishing third in the
Division 2 best and fairest last year.
The premiership captain has spent the
majority of the season in the middle of
the ground but has still booted 21 goals,
the most of any Lower Plenty player
and placing him equal seventh on the
competition goal kicking table.
Clint Monger is another leading from
the front, the 29-year-old seemingly
getting better with age. The three-time
club champion has polled 10 votes in the
Coaches Player of the Year award, equal
with Barden as the most of any Bear.
Great responsibility will now be placed
on the young shoulders of Reece Geary,
with the young tall now expected
to play as the club’s first ruckman
following Patrick Flynn’s season-ending
injury against West Preston-Lakeside a
fortnight ago.
Flynn, the league’s most promising
young ruckman, suffered a fractured
eye socket against the Roosters and
is expected to be out of action for 10
weeks, effectively ruling him out for the
remainder of the 2012 season.
Whittlesea looked to be steadily
improving when it claimed a comfortable
29-point win over West Preston-Lakeside
in Round 5 but has since struggled badly
over the past month.
Since beating the Roosters, the Eagles
have lost their past three matches by an
average margin of 79 points, including a
148-point loss to Heidelberg in Round 8.
With injuries affecting a host of its
senior list, the club is relying heavily on
its large crop of promising youngsters
each week.
After a dominant opening five weeks,
Nick Snowdon has missed the Eagles’
past two matches while talented
defender Chris Horman missed the
Heidelberg loss a week after starring
against Macleod.
Further compounding the club’s
misfortunes, skipper Garrett Heenan,
Matthew Quinton and Jeremy Page
were all injured against Heidelberg
which limited the Eagles to just one
interchange rotation.
But for all the doom and gloom, there
have been a number of positives for
Whittlesea throughout the first half of
the year.
The win over West Preston-Lakeside
and a two-point loss to Montmorency
proved the club can match it with
anyone when it plays its best football,
while the form of Snowdon, Horman
and Andrew Fairchild has gives the club
plenty to build a good team around.
If it can get its best team on the park
there is no reason why Whittlesea
can’t expect to win at least five of its
final ten games and comfortably avoid
relegation from the top flight.
The sides today resume a competitive
rivalry which stems back to their time in
Division 2.
They last met in the 2010 Division
2 Grand Final, where the Eagles
were victorious by 14 points to earn
promotion to Division 1 for the first time
in their history.

KNIGHTS V JETS – THIS SATURDAY
This Saturday, June 16 the Northern Knights take on the Western Jets at Burbank Oval,
Williamstown. It will be another tough assignment for the Knights as they fight to resurrect their
season and are again set to be without nine of their best players due to Vic Metro commitments.
VIC METRO REPORT—VLASTUIN, BALLARD & HROVAT AMONG THE BEST
After a disappointing first performance it
was time for the Vic Metro boys to take to
Visy Park against Tasmania with the local
boys looking the dominant side on paper.
As it turned out, the talent amongst the
Metro boys showed on the scoreboard with
Metro running out big winners kicking
21.11 137 to Tasmania's 6.5 41. Northern
Knights boys Jacob Ballard (28 disposals,
one goal), Nathan Hrovat (32 disposals)
and Nick Vlastuin (28 disposals, 11
marks) all found plenty of the ball for Metro, and were helped by Sam Gilmore winning a majority of
the ruck contests. Matthew Haynes provided Metro with great run all day on the wing and Aidan
Corr played a good shut down role in defence before going forward to kick a goal later in the game.

DIVISION 1 – Summary
As the Division 1 season nears the
halfway mark, it’s time to cast an eye
over each teams’ performance over
the opening eight rounds.
Bundoora: The Bulls have been nearly
flawless in their premiership defence
as they look for consecutive flags for
the first time since 1995-96. First on the
ladder with seven wins and just one loss,
the Bulls look just as strong as last season
despite a few notable departures. Gary
Moorcroft and Cameron Cloke continue
to churn out goals and have 71 majors
between them to sit first and second on
the goal kicking table respectively.
Heidelberg: Sit second on the ladder
yet have somehow managed to fly
under the radar. Youngster Justin Powick
has been a revelation, while Allan
Young has impressed with 21 goals
since joining from Watsonia. The Tigers’
ageing midfield continues to prosper,
particularly Danny Nolan who must be in
strong contention for this season’s Frank
Rosbrook Medal.
Montmorency: Has managed to win
three games by a goal or less and as
a result sits in third place with a 6-2
record. Incredibly, was involved in three
consecutive two-point games before
claiming a six-point win over Northcote
Park in Round 8. Luke and Ryan Jackson
have been dominant in the midfield,
while Dean Limbach has worked his way
into form after a quiet opening month. A
75-point win over Heidelberg proved the
side has what it takes to go all the way.
Eltham: The surprise packet with five
wins and a draw from its opening eight
games. Chris Varsamakis and Jackson
Weatherald have had an immediate
impact since returning, while Lachie
Richardson and Brendan O’Sullivan have
been in scintillating form. Skipper Paul
Currie is having a season to remember
and has booted 30 goals to sit third on
the goal kicking table.
West Preston-Lakeside: An indifferent
start to the season as outlined by its 4-4
record. Yet to win or lose consecutive
games, the Roosters are expected to be
the big improvers after the break. Kris
Bardon has been influential and would
be locked in a battle for the Roosters’
best and fairest award along with brother
Ashley and Shaun Gannon. Yet to beat
any side inside the top five but could do
so against Eltham today.
Northcote Park: Could have been
inside the top four but for two close
losses against Greensborough and
Montmorency and a draw with Eltham.
Has been excellently served by Will
Debruin and young defender Ben
McNiece. Possesses one of the best
midfields in the competition but has
lacked a big marking forward. The
Cougars are the only side to beat
Bundoora thus far and are still a
genuine finals contender.
Greensborough: Sat third on the ladder
after three rounds but have not won a
game since to now sit seventh on the table.
Injuries to Tim Bongetti and Conlan Gunn
have hurt, as has Nick Riddle’s elevation to
Collingwood’s VFL team. Threw away the
four points against Macleod in Round 8
after leading by 25 points and now faces an
uphill battle to play finals football.
Macleod: Has managed to resurrect its
season with three consecutive wins after a
winless opening five weeks. Fast becoming
the last quarter specialist having kicked 16
goals to two in its past three final quarters
against Lower Plenty, Whittlesea and
Greensborough. A crunch game against
Northcote Park awaits today.
Lower Plenty: Just one win from its
opening eight games but has shown
enough to suggest it has the ability to
stay afloat in Division 1. A shock eightpoint win over neighbour and fierce rival
Montmorency in Round 7 has been the
highlight so far. Skipper Billy Barden and
experienced campaigner Clint Monger
have shown they are genuine stars of
the competition.
Whittlesea: The Eagles’ season has
gone into freefall on the back of three
consecutive disappointing losses. Looked
to be an improved outfit when it beat
West Preston and ran Montmorency
within two points, but has since fallen
to heavy losses to Eltham, Macleod and
Heidelberg. Nick Snowdon has been
the standout, and Chris Horman has
impressed in the top flight.

DIVISION 1
BUNDOORA
Last week was a game that proved to be
a brilliant advertisement for local footy.
SENIORS
The sun was out, Yulong looked a treat and
the large crowd was entertained with a
high scoring game. The Panthers jumped us
early before we rallied and slammed on 20
goals after quarter time. They are a seriously
talented team and will cause many headaches
over the next few months. Cam was the
standout with 11 and other good players on
the day were Fazz, Brendo and Joey.
RESERVES
Came up against a very determined team
that is sure to figure in the finals. A 5-3
record is a pass for this group at the long
weekend break and the foundation has
certainly been laid for the next 10 weeks.
Best players were Browny, Lukey Little,
Nath Gardiner and Follachio. Was good to
see big Matty Ferraro back running around
flexing his Power Core built rig.
THIRDS
The young Bulls were soundly beaten by
a pretty slick outfit. Youngy, big Anthony
and Coco were again super in an otherwise
testing day for the boys. There are certainly
signs there though and some wins are sure
to be just around the corner if the group
MONTMORENCY
In what was always going to be a tough
game to test our resolve as a playing group,
the boys battled gallantly for four quarters
against an opposition that was high on
confidence after beating Bundoora.
SENIORS
Northcote Park kicked the first goal within
30 seconds of the opening bounce. Dean
Limbach then got a hold of it early in the
first, kicking three, and looked like he was
in for big day, so the signs were there! From
then on, the game see-sawed somewhat in
ebbs and flows, with neither team able to
gain a strong ascendancy on the contest and
that’s how it was to be for the majority of the
game. Ben Haynes and Junior Jackson were
in everything in the first half, setting us up
through the midfield, with Senior Jackson
playing his role in containing Northcote
Park’s perennial playmaker, Paul Scanlon, at
the clearances. Craig Flint produced one of
the greatest acts on the footy field running
back 20m with the flight of the ball, to take
the most courageous mark you will see and
earning himself the coveted “Ruthless Act
of the Week” award amongst the playing

can stick fat and work hard.
PICKLES’ 500TH GAME
In Bulls Bits we would normally take the
time to offer up some literacy genius and
pen some humorous stories about the
many personalities we have at the Bull Pen.
However, this week it’s all seriousness as we
pay homage to an amazing individual.
Andrew ‘Pickles’ Hamer today runs out in
the Bundoora colours for the 500th time, an
accomplishment that would not have been
achieved too many times. He has been
an incredibly loyal Bundoora person ever
since walking into the club nearly 30 years
ago. Accolades and achievements such
as B&F’s, premierships (at all three levels),
league representative games, captaincy
and coaching are all part of Pickles’ CV and
he isn’t done with yet. You can still find his
name in the current reserves goal kicking
table at the back of this record today. A
man universally respected and well-liked by
all and a proud husband and father to boot,
he truly is one of the game’s greats and
an absolute gentleman whose modesty
and humility has endeared him to Bulls
fans spanning four decades. The number
14 jumper proudly sits high above in the
clubrooms and will remain there long
after the current playing group and their
children depart this Earth and that’s the
way it should always remain.
Therefore, on behalf of the entire
Bundoora Football Club, its players,
coaches, committee, members,
supporters and the NFL we congratulate
Andrew Hamer on his achievement and
thank him for the many memories he
has provided over many years. Good
luck today, Picks, and may there be a few
more games still left in the tank.
PRESENTATION NIGHT
www.bundoorabulls.com.au is where you
will find all the information. Tickets are

NFL night of nights when Man O Man hits
Yulong. Hayley Harrison is your contact so
please get in touch with her and provide
your RSVP and arrange your table of girls
as it’s a night never to be missed.
NEXT MATCH
We welcome the boys from Para Road in
what could be the game of the year. Two
powerhouse clubs in good form and with
high expectations for season 2012, it’s
sure to be a classic.
group. The second half was much the same,
just a fierce contest on the tight confines
of Monty Park, but in the end we were
able to hold onto a great six-point victory
against quality opposition who will figure
prominently at the business end of the year.
RESERVES
A difficult struggle all day saw the boys lose
their second straight home game. Our ball
movement needs to be cleaner and more
direct as too many times we over possessed
the footy. In the end Northcote Park showed
they wanted the win more which was
disappointing. A big game next, against
Bundoora, gives a chance to redeem ourselves.
UNDER-19s
A great effort considering we were missing
nine of our best players. We worked
hard for each other under very difficult
circumstances. It gave an opportunity to our
younger players who really stood up.
NETBALL
Monty A took on Whittlesea which was bound
to be a very physical game. The first five
minutes proved that Whittlesea was out to
make a mends for the loss they encountered
last time we met. Whittlesea won the first
quarter by six goals to a slow starting Monty
side. From there the girls regrouped and
worked hard at countering Whittlesea’s game
plan but went down by five goals - 31-26.
Monty B took on Thomastown and flew
out of the blocks early. Monty had a lot of
ground to make up after their last match
with Thomastown losing by 12 goals. There
was no messing about this time with a
convincing 31-18 win.
Monty C also played Thomastown - a
game which had not been played to
date. Thomastown are a strong side in
Section 4 so the girls had their work cut
out for them. Monty worked hard but
Thomastown had them covered and
unfortunately took the win 33-19.

DIVISION 1
LOWER PLENTY
Well another week and another big
challenge away from home against a
Division 1 powerhouse. Let’s do the rounds
CUBS
Let another close one slip unfortunately.
Again played some really good footy and
unlucky not to get the choccies. Led for
the most part but got pipped at the post
and went down by just two points. Patto
returned and was plucking everything,
kicking four of our 12 goals. The Doumtsis
boys dominated again while Laurie and
the Duck also impressed. So close to being
a top side so keep at it and the results will
start to go our way.
MAGOOS
It’s a bit early to start the two’s cruise chant
but the curtain raisers are going along
nicely and when they turn it on are going
to be hard to beat. Went into this one
with a strong squad and got out of the
blocks early thanks to a quick clearance
and some Greek magic! Led all day and
held off a late charge by the Roosters to
record and quality four-goal win against a
quality opponent. A few old stagers were
amongst the goals, led by “sore back Sox”
WHITTLESEA
After two solid losses to Eltham
and Macleod, the boys were keen to
reproduce the sort of form that led to a
win over West Preston-Lakeside and an
unlucky narrow loss to Montmorency.
SENIORS
From the outset though, it was apparent that
the Tigers had come to play. They smashed
us in the ruck and their midfield dominance
gave their forwards numerous opportunities.
The Heidelberg forwards were really on song.
They were quick on the lead, marked strongly
and kicked accurately. The gulf between the
teams was especially obvious at stoppages
when the Tigers linked up beautifully and
ran forward in numbers to keep our backs
continually under the pump. A game ending
injury to star Matthew Quinton was a real
body blow to the team. Jeremy Page who
has been a powerhouse all year in the ruck
needed to be rested during the game because
of illness and captain Garrett Heenan did his
hamstring. The Tigers switched into top gear
during the second and third quarters and
the Whittlesea boys were left in their wake
with the final score 9.5 (59) to 32.15 (207).
Overall the Heidelberg team gave Whittlesea
14
THE NORTHERNER
with four. Bozo returned and provided
some value, as did Micka who took off
exactly where he left us. Squida played a
blinder, while that back line did it again.
Well placed going into the break so rest
up and let’s charge towards some finals
action in the second half of the year.
ONES
Once again, competitive till the end but
outclassed by the Roosters for most of the
day. It seems we have no problem getting
the footy, just the usage lets us down. Still
lacking some height which hasn’t been
helped by what seems to be a season
ending injury to Patty Flynn. Our thoughts
are with ya Patty! Not much to say about this
one with the same names appearing in the
best once again. Went down by seven goals
and well in need of the break. To say today’s
match against Whittlesea is a must win is
an understatement! Gonna be some big
opportunities in the second half of the year
to make our mark on Division 1 so stick with
us as we prove to all it’s where we belong.
A special mention to our very own Cole
Trickle who not only managed to run
into another car at training on a Thursday
night but managed to back it up at West
Preston two days later with another
accident at the nearby roundabout.

RESERVES
The reserves suffered heartbreak at Heidelberg.
We led early and were playing with confidence
to head into quarter time with a 16-point lead.
The second and third quarters were close and
we were still 11 points up at three-quarter time
and in with a real chance. The final quarter
was a thriller with Heidelberg kicking the first
three goals to take the lead. Our boys fought
back with two goals of their own to go to a
four-point lead with only two minutes to go.
A free kick and two 50m penalties later and
Heidelberg scored the winning goal. A tragic
end and heartbreak for the reserves who came
so close to their first win. The final score read
8.8 (56) to 8.10 (58). Goal kickers: D. Barry 3,

DIVISION 1
HEIDELBERG
Welcome back everyone after
the mid-year break, I’m sure we all
enjoyed a well earned rest.
We now get ready for the run home to the
finals to see how, what looks to be the most
even year in a long time, will unfold. Last
game we hosted the Eagles and for the first
time in a long time we enjoyed three wins
which was a great way to go into the break.
SENIORS
In near perfect conditions we got off to
a good start and were on target kicking
9.3 in the first quarter. We started a bit
slowly in the second, missing a few early
opportunities before things clicked and
we finished the quarter adding 9.5 to go
to the long break with a handy lead over
a very young Eagles outfit. The highlight
of the third was holding them to just
one point then the aim in the last was
to continue that good work but to their
credit they never chucked in the towel and
added five last-quarter goals. We on the
other hand had our biggest win for the
year and should look at the second half of
the year with plenty of confidence.
Great team effort with the better players
- Big Mick, Bruiser, Stinga, Rhys, Danny
and Youngy.
GREENSBOROUGH
I am only now recovering from
the game.
SENIORS
We played well for 95% of the match
but Macleod amazingly kicked three
goals in the last minute to win. I have
watched the video a number of times
but I am still no clearer as to what
happened in the final seconds but it is
onwards and upwards from here. Goal
kickers: J. Grubb 4, N. Carnell 3, J. Riddle
2, J. Griffiths 2, C. Jordan, D. Fowler,
A. Rintoul, C. Gunn. Best players: N.
Carnell, C. Gunn, L. Stanton, J. Grubb, J.
McLellan, D. Wilson
RESERVES
Dare I use the term? It is a juggernaut
and the boys are playing fantastic
football. Goal kickers: M. Anderson 3,
C. Walker 2, D. Cunningham 2, M. Fowler
2, M. Johnston, B. Millsom, J. Neilson,
J. Pritchard, B. Freeman, T. Forster, C.
Cogan, S. McCallum, M. Crawford.

THE NORTHERNER
RESERVES
Well if you didn’t hear the quarter time
speech by Whitters you mustn’t have been
in the metropolitan area at the time. It was
straight out of the Teddy Whitten “you’ve
got to inspire me “ chapter – not a bad
idea for wet rainy days if you don’t want
to get wet walking to the huddle you can
stand on the deck and hear it loud and
clear. After not kicking a goal in the first
quarter we now knew that everybody was
awake and we kicked the only goal of the
second quarter. It was a riveting contest
between these two great sides. After the
long break the flood gates opened with
both sides adding three goals apiece and
we went to the last break two goals down.
The last quarter was a tight see-sawing
affair with the crowd on the edge of their
seat. We took the lead late in the quarter
only to surrender it with a 50m penalty
with only minutes to go. Then with rotten
bad luck they did the same dumb thing
and we goaled and won by two points.
Better players - A. Glover, Ash, P.Rowe,
A.Penetta, S.Byrne and Harro
UNDER-19s
Got the jump on the Whittlesea boys
with a five-goal to three first quarter in
a pretty spirited opening. We increased
the lead in the second and went to the
long break with a 27-point advantage.
We were really challenged in the third
with the lead being cut back by a goal
but the boys could sense their first wellearned victory. The last quarter started
with the Eagles kicking the first two
goals and really coming at our blokes,
but for the first time this season we
put in a full four quarter performance,
listened to instructions and ran out with
a fantastic first up win. Congratulations
to all involved, let’s hope the second half
of the year produces plenty more of that.
Great team effort with the better players
– Jimmy, Ben Kennan, C.Gogerly, Josh
Lloyd, Adam Renwick and Zac.
$10,000 DRAW
Sunday July 8 at the club. All players have
tickets to sell or see John Sheahan if you
need more. This is an important function
for the club so we need everyone to do
their best to get behind it.
LADIES DAY
Saturday, August 11. Further details to follow.
TODAY
We welcome the Borough to Warringal
Park for the three games. We all should
be rested up and right to go so let’s carry
on the good form from our last game
and make it another three good wins.
Best payers: E. Duggan, M. Anderson, M.
Evans, C. Cogan, M. Fowler, M. Crawford
UNDER-19s
Coach Turner is happy with the way the
boys are playing. The competition is
very strong and the boys are adapting
each week. Goal kickers: J. Callaway 4,
L. McCann 3, A. Lindstrom 2, L. Money, L.
Shaw, O. Tsorbaris, D. Forster, J. Lambert.
Best players: J. Callaway, J. Johnston, L.
McCann, S. Parks, S. Schmidt, A. Grimes
THIS WEEK
We take on the Bergers. Our recent
record against the all-conquering
Tigers reads well and we will be out to
take the four points. Greensborough
by 500 points.
FASHION TALK
I can’t stand what has been happening
amongst the players and the way they
are dressing. Finally we have Stumpy,
Jim and Rob Lincoln no longer wearing
jeans and runners and now the senior
players have got a new look that
personally I will not stand for. I am not
one to over sensationalise but it is an
abomination of biblical proportions.
Players are inexplicably wearing
collared Boro polo shirts over Hoodies.
Have you ever heard of something so
ridiculous? Here we have players waking
up on game day putting on a hooded
windcheater followed by a short sleeve
collared shirt. How could anyone think
this looks good? I am not going to shy
away from naming the culprits and
here is a list so far. DJ, Lachie, Harbo
(of course), Gazza and Spongie. I will
continue to name and shame these
fashion assassins.
VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK
Mark Emery approached me with a new
concept to name those volunteers who
devote so much time to the club and
give them some appreciation for their
effort. He then nominated himself as
a worthy recipient but this week goes
to Dave MacGregor. Dave runs water
during the seconds and then keeps the
statistics for the seniors. Well done.

DIVISION 1
ELTHAM
Well we’re back to the footy after a
week’s break.
UNDER-19s
Prior to the Queen’s Birthday long
weekend, the under-19 Division 2 side was
no match for a very strong Diamond Creek
side but still battled away well. They have a
chance to win another game this morning
against Warringal Hawks at Heidelberg
West. The Division 1 side got back to some
good form and returned to the winners list
against Bundoora. The feature of the game
was a 12-goal last quarter by the boys.
RESERVES
The reserves also back on the winning list
with one of their best wins so far this year
against Bundoora. The boys extended
their lead at every change before claiming
a 39-point win at Yulong Reserve.
SENIORS
We went into the seniors game looking
for outright top spot on the NFL
ladder over the long weekend, but
unfortunately we fell short on the day.
Bundoora proved far more accurate in
front of goals and although we had more
scoring shorts, our inaccuracy along
WEST PRESTON-LAKESIDE
In a grinding game we got the points
against Lower and now sneak back
inside the top five, just.
The better players were spread but you
needed Adam Mackenzie in the Best
Player Tickets. The twos got rolled and the
under-19s not only claimed their second
victory for the year, but they made it backto-back wins with a character-building
win coming from behind against Lower.
Next up it’s off to Eltham where wins have
been few in recent years so we’re due.
With Pebbles back in the team we will be
looking at putting two wins together for
the first time this year. The following week
we turn the corner with a huge clash
against top of the table Bulls.
AROUND THE TRAPS
Plenty on offer this week with the tide
turning on Thursday night with Junior off
the soup he was out in his car beeping
his horn waiting to drive the members
home and as he stayed on the wagon he
still looked worse for wear at the end of
Saturday night. How many loafs did Frank
bring back? I wondered if he enjoyed the
meal at Dunstan St last Monday? Who’s
going to fine William caught in an embrace
in the rooms? Is Feeney the club’s greatest

THE NORTHERNER
with some poor turnovers and injuries
throughout the game were costly in the
end. We are already looking forward to
the return clash later in the year.
TODAY
Today presents yet another big clash for
the seniors. Although we are in the five we
have a number of sides just under us ready
to take our place if we slip. West PrestonLakeside is definitely one of those teams.
We need to win today to establish a nice
gap between us and teams under us

sponsor ever? A good win is never better
than listening to Therese speaking the
Queens’s English. Tom Macarthur got on
the payroll last week and celebrated with
a haircut and a stud. Young Mitchell made
his debut in the scoreboard whilst his old
man was trying to catch his newspaper
thief using a dummy paper to catch him
in the act but when the paperboy saw
he already had a paper he bypassed
the house. Closey took preparation to a
new level when it was noticed he had
a prophylactic in his mouth guard box.
Finally the club got through a weekend
of football without the tireless MFC in
attendance, the 15 blokes who filled his
role went home very tired.

together and show the world what little
or how much talent you have. June 23

DIVISION 1
NORTHCOTE PARK
I hope everyone had a safe and
enjoyable long weekend and we look
forward to nearing the halfway point of
the season and attacking it head on!
SENIORS
We enjoyed a beautiful winter’s day two
Saturdays ago with the sun out and the
chance for a few of the boys to work on their
tan outside of the solarium (Lids, Wags). The
seniors were unable to complete a golden
Cougar day at Montmorency, although
some of the boys did persist with this well
into the evening. The first half saw the
Northcote bench reduced to two as Micky
O left the ground with a suspected broken
foot, and Narby Kelly with a severe corkie,
however Will Debruin provided the spark
along with Bronik Davies and the lads were
able to remain within 11 points heading
into the half-time break. In the final ten
minute the boys persevered and managed
to come within a goal, and almost gained
the lead with a kung-fu attempt at goal
courtesy of Brock McLennan, but alas the
points went to Montmorency. Final score
NPFC 13.10 (88) to Montmorency 14.10 (94).
RESERVES
The reserves headed into this game with
the motivation of some much needed
MACLEOD
We are still shaking our heads in
disbelief after that effort against Boro.
LAST GAME
For the best part of three quarters we were
outplayed and halfway through the final
term we were some six goals down. What
happened? Maybe the opposition relaxed
but our blokes dug deep and goal by goal
we clawed our way back, finally hitting the
front with the last kick of the day thanks to
a Vesper snap. As someone said, you can’t
train for that but in 15 minutes we learned
more about ourselves than you could
teach in 100 training sessions. That we did
it without our two best players (Kane and
Cathal), we lost Jack B before the game
and we are still missing two or three others
was even more meritorious. We won back
the Derek Shaw Cup so a big thanks to
Dekka and the Shaw family for being there
for the presentation to the Macleod only
faithful. The twos and under-19s didn’t fare
as well but hopefully the week off will turn
things around today.

THE NORTHERNER
premiership points, and with some dubious
outs such as P. Haddad (suspected late
night back injury) they looked to be tested
throughout. Pre-game, John Bakopolous
was quoted saying “if I kick more than six
I’m definitely getting some action tonight”.
It was a tight game throughout with
Montmorency taking the lead heading into
the last quarter, though the motivation had
already been set out and the big fella was
determined, with Johnny lining up for his
seventh in the dying minutes, nothing was
going to stop him. Also best on ground
performances from Alex Ricco and Steven
Hiho, though it was undetermined how
they would fair later on in the evening.
The final score NPFC 15.10 (100) to
Montmorency 13.9 (87) and was our first
away win over Montmorency’s twos in over
ten years. Great effort boys!
UNDER-19s
The under-19s juggernaut is one that
continues to roll on with another 100-point
victory this weekend. The boys seemed
to be getting into back to school party
mode heading into the final quarter as
Montmorency tripled its score. Harley
Short, Oliver Dexter and Ricky Mercuri
were instrumental in the win. It also must
be mentioned that one of our under-19s
is preparing for his UFC debut after the
weekend. The final score 19.17 (131) to
Montmorency 4.6 (30)
BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY
Congratulations to the under-19s, Benny
and Joel for the success of the Back to
School Party. Great night had by all and
numbers were fantastic, great work!

DIVISION 2
FITZROY STARS
Last week we played our first home
game at Victoria Park against South
Morang who needed to win to stay in
touch with the top four.
SENIORS
South Morang came out of the blocks
quickly, kicking the first two goals within
the opening five minutes. Our boys settled
to kick the next four goals and take a ninepoint lead into the first break. Our focus
was to run South Morang off their feet in
the second quarter with our small men
and get the ball to Paddy up forward who
was dominating. We kicked 5.2 to South
Morang’s 3.2 to take a 21-point lead to the
main break. When the teams came out
after the long break it was a very different
game with our boys kicking 5.1 to our
opponents’ 1.1 to take control of the game
with our new full back of the century Jake
holding Pow to three goals for the game
and with our backline in complete control
we took a 42-lead into the last quarter.
The last quarter went our way too and we
kicked 5.1 to 3.1 to win by 56 points. It was
good to see Big Paddy back in form kicking
NORTH HEIDELBERG
After losing an old Doggie last week
we have added our newest addition
to the Kennel with the healthy arrival
of Brodi King!
Congratulations to Kellie, Jarrod, and
Charli, we look forward to the day the
little man pulls on the red, white and blue!
SECONDS
Continued their great form with a
resounding win against Lalor. Debutant
Alex Miller had a great game kicking five
goals; Jamie continues his strong form
with a BOG performance and Butch Elms
bagged three. With the seniors winning it’s
going to be hard to break into the side but
there are a handful of blokes waiting for
their chance. Unfortunately another long
term injury with Shagger hurting himself
but hopefully he will return for finals action.
SENIORS
It was always going to be a tough contest
with Lalor at full strength for the first
time this year and playing to keep its
finals chances alive. As usual we were
two goals down within 90 seconds which
seems to be the norm. It seemed the first
half was a repeat of the Tigers vs Saints
thriller the night before with a shootout
between Pete Shepherd at one end and
our boys at the other. At half time Shep

THE NORTHERNER
eight goals and was helped out by our
small forwards who looked dangerous all
day as well as our captain who didn’t get
caught once this week.
RESERVES
Our boys started well kicking 5.2 to 2.5 in
the first, controlling the midfield and giving
our forward’s first opportunity with Ecka
looking very dangerous every time the ball
came in. The second quarter was much of
the same with our backline on top and our
midfield getting their hands on the ball
as we took a 27-point lead into the main
break. In the third Ecka made their backs
look foolish with his ability to baulk and
turn then kick goals out of nowhere. To their
credit South Morang outscored us in the
last quarter to reduce the final margin to 31
points in our favour. Our better player for
the day were Ecka who kicked eight, Jordy,
Anzack, Broady, Dion, Jonboy and Coops.
Well done boys. Both teams are now 6-2.
NETBALL
The A-grade girls continued on there
winning way with a comfortable 10-goal win
over South Morang B. The girls have won
four in a row so keep up the good work girls.
B-grade girls had a good win on Friday night
beating Mernda 29-25. Way to go girls! Keep
up the good work and when you play as a
team it will take you a long way.
THURSDAY DINNER
Remember everyone, the girls are still doing
the Thursday night dinner so let’s all make
sure we support the girls and bring your
$5.00 for dinner every Thursday night.
SOCIAL
Was a good social night last week with
everyone enjoying the four wins from all
our teams however the Stars are organising
a few dance lessons at the club for a few of
you boys. If you didn’t know any different
you would have thought you walked into
the Blue Oyster Bar on Saturday night.
TOOL OF THE WEEK
A new contender this week, and it is Lukey’s
shirt. We really need you to improve in
three key areas. Firstly get down to the
launderette and wash yourself a few times
to improve your colour, way too bright!
Secondly grow a bit so that you can handle
the extensive girth of your master and
finally practice your dance moves because
they just have to get better. Improve in
these areas and you’ll be fine!!
had six and Lalor led by five points after
we pegged back a four goal deficit before
conceding two late goals. After half time
Leigh Bentley and Brammo did a great job
negating Lalor’s big forward while Gazi
played his best game of the year off half
back and Deano continued his solid form
in the ruck. It was great to see young Liam
and Matty M combining well and a fella
that was playing A Grade footy before
they were born still getting plenty of it in
PK, he is a marvel. At the last change we
were a few points in front and the boys
managed to grind out a 15-point win.
Harvs ended up with six, Gilbs got three
and big Will continues to improve, kicking
a very important goal midway through
the last. Today is a massive one for both
teams against Fitzroy Stars at Victoria Park
and a chance for the seniors to avenge
our Round 2 loss at home. After the game
we will be heading back to the Kennel for
Karaoke which is always a great night!
NETBALL
Section 1
Went down to Macleod who proved too
strong and consistent, winning comfortably
in the end. An injury to our GK didn’t help
and our injured captain/coach Michelle
Rix had to watch from the sidelines.
After playing the top three sides in a row
hopefully we can gain some momentum
after the weekend’s break as we play the
bottom four sides over the next month.
Section 2
NHB are at the top of the table and there is
no stopping them. They are definitely the
in-form side and are strong all over the court
and continue to be consistent week to week.
This week they thrashed Epping A 49-15.

Section 3
After losing by a goal last week, the
girls were not going to let the same feat
happen twice. Instead they dug deep and
came out victorious by a goal in a thriller
against Greensborough B. Great fighting
spirit was shown and excellent team work.

DIVISION 2
SOUTH MORANG
The break has come at a good time
for the South Morang Football Club
after a very promising start to the
season.
With all sides failing to register a win
over the past fortnight it might have
been a good time for the lads to escape
for the long weekend then look forward
to taking on Hurstbridge today.
SENIORS
It’s not all doom and gloom for the
senior club blooding three players who
were part of our massive junior club last
year. All three of Moz, Brent H and Leash
have been listed in the best at some
stage or another. Our recruits have been
fantastic for the club, not only fitting in
but leading the way on the track and
showing our young list the ways of
senior football.
In sixth place on the ladder with two
wins in eight games, the boys have
a chance to break a five-game losing
streak at home to the Bridges.
HURSTBRIDGE
Jason Akermanis, proudly sponsored
by Boags, has been and gone but the
memory of a truly great day lingers on.
The triple Premiership player, Brownlow
Medallist and media personality, pulled on his
boots and played for Hurstbridge in Round
8, as promised, and what a day it was. We
didn’t win the game but we were competitive
for much of the day – apart from a serious
lapse in the second quarter which allowed
Diamond Creek to create a scoreboard buffer
that we couldn’t pull back. Nonetheless, a ten
goal turn around on Round 1 and our boys
are getting better each week.
Off field however, we were kicking goals
everywhere with records being broken
on the gate, in the canteen and across the
bars. Ben Frilay Oval looked picture perfect
in the unseasonably warm sunshine and
played host to a well behaved crowd the
size of which has never been seen before at
Hurstbridge. From the Boag’s pavilion at the
creek end to the clubrooms, the crowd was
packed from boundary fence to perimeter
fence. The club wishes to express thanks
to all those who attended as the crowd
behaviour was exemplary and we certainly
hope everyone had a fantastic day.
From the moment he arrived at the ground
until the moment he left, Jason was the

THE NORTHERNER
RESERVES
Gazza probably has the hardest job in
the club working out his list with so
many missing out on a game week in,
week out. It’s a credit to a lot of the guys
who miss out on a game but give a hand
in some form on match days. Macca has
implemented some great game plans
which when the boys play to instruction
we are a tough side play against as has
shown in most of our matches.
UNDER-19S
Sedgy’s lads should play finals but
need to improve on their last month’s
form after taking some big scalps
early on. The boys currently sit in third
place on the ladder, having won five
games and claiming a draw from their
first eight games. Last up the boys fell
to St Mary’s by 57-points and they will
be looking to get back on the winners’
list today and cement a spot in the top
reaches of the ladder.
THE CLUB
All in all, barring a few bad quarters, I
think all involved in the club would be
happy with how we have started our
venture back into Division 2. We have
been very competitive in most games.
We always knew it was going to be
a massive step up for the club but so
far we haven’t been disgraced and we
are thoroughly looking forward to the
second half of the season. Hopefully we
get a few lucky bounces and claim a top
four team in the run home which would
be a just reward for all the players and
everyone involved in the club.
consummate professional, making himself
totally available to our football department
before, during and after the game while at
the same time somehow managing to still
accommodate all of the fans and children
who wanted their moment with “Aker”. Fair
effort Jason, and one we truly appreciate.
Our thanks also to Ray Shaw and Terry
Daniher, the Boag’s girls, Barry the Bull, the
junior committee and the non-committee
people who were pressed into service and
who all worked so hard for us to make
the day a success. Your efforts were much
appreciated as were those of Ian Mason
from Mason White McDougall who worked
tirelessly auctioning off our memorabilia
items, even if he was at the wrong function!
Don’t worry Ian, your secret’s safe with us.
TWOS
Inspiring win by the boys in a knife edge
finish with a big crowd on hand. Hard
fought and well won, keep it up boys and
more sure to follow from that performance.
UNDER-19s
Dylan Griffiths tribute game was played
against Warringal Hawks and after running
through a fantastic tribute banner for Dylan
the boys started with a lot of intensity as
you would expect on such a momentous
occasion. Hurstbridge ran out comfortable
winners and a highlight of the game was
the ball being passed to Dylan’s brother
Beau with pin point accuracy, enabling him
to bang one through post high on the run
from half forward in memory of his brother.
NETBALL
The girls suffered another loss on Friday
night going down 21 goals to 12 against
Heidelberg Hawkettes. Keep trying girls,
more wins sure to be around the corner.
All the girls tried their best.

DIVISION 2
DIAMOND CREEK
A fortnight ago we headed to Ben Frilay
Oval for a clash with Diamond Creek.
SENIORS
We were greeted by arch rivals with
a massive crowd and Aker. It was
always going to be a big day and the
boys responded well, controlling the
first quarter before dominating the
second with six unanswered goals.
We extending to 79 points by the end
of the third quarter, only to again let
ourselves down in the last by allowing
Hurstbridge to get on top and kick
seven goals and close the final margin
to 63 points. We need to concentrate for
the whole four quarters if we are going
to match it with the big boys. Let’s start
with a four quarter performance today
when we take on Thomastown.
RESERVES
After a slow start we had to work hard
to keep in touch in a fairly even first
half. In the third quarter we were able
to break away and lead by 20 points.
THOMASTOWN
Definitely a tale of two halves against
Epping last week.
- BLUEBOY
SENIORS
We played fantastic footy in the first
half to go into the main break the
best part of four goals in front. The
second quarter was inspiring as the
boys booted five goals and managed
to keep Epping goalless. Yet, the type
of footy that gave us this lead fell by
the wayside in the second half and
the ladder leader ran right over the
top of us to claim a 40-point win.
Whilst we can be reasonably proud of
our efforts, there should be a tinge of
disappointment also, knowing that our
best can match it with most teams but
consistency lets us down.
RESERVES
Last week’s effort against Epping
is better left behind us. We were
outplayed in most areas of the ground
and the final score was embarrassing.
However, good sides rebound from
losses like this and we will get our
chance to do that when we travel to
Diamond Creek today for a clash with
the fifth-placed Demons.
26
THE NORTHERNER
After the last break Hurstbridge lifted
and finished the better side, kicking
five goals to our one in the last quarter
to beat us by two points. Ben Westcott
kicked four while Chris McCauley was
our best on the day.
UNDER-19s
The boys travelled out to Eltham last
week and played a solid four quarters to
run out comfortable winners by some
10 goals. We are nearing full strength
and with our numbers growing so is the
confidence of this group. The boys are
playing for each other as a team and
are fully aware of the need to ensure
that trend continues for the remainder
of the year. If we continue to play for
each other the results will take care of
itself with the right desire and attitude.
The best players in the win over Eltham
were Cam, Watto and Bryce while Perko
booted five goals.
SOCIAL SCENE
Dust off the suits and bring out the
frocks for our Formal Cocktail Night on
Saturday, June 23 at The Cellaroom 797
UNDER-19s
The under-19s had a convincing win
against Mernda last week. They are in a
very good position as we approach the
half way mark of the year. Keep up the
good work guys.
NETBALL
Mixed results for our netball girls with
the A girls losing to Montmorency. The B
girls, however, had a win against Monty.
Support is always vital, so please visit
our girls at RMIT every Friday night.

Seniors on top two games clear,
reserves sitting second – a very
impressive start to the year so well
done to all players.
All teams will be out to knock us off
now, so let’s keep focused each week
and keep racking them up. Good luck
today and let’s have another two wins.
Thanks to everyone who supports
our fabulous sponsors! We’ve heard it
all before but without the sponsors it
would be hard for the E.F.C to thrive.
Look for the signs around the club and
ground as sponsor details are all there,
and let’s show them the same support
as they show the club. Muchas Gracias!
SENIORS
Plenty of positives from last week.
Although we gave the opposition a fivegoal start we still won by seven, making
it a 12-goal turn around. The challenge
was thrown at us but once we turned
it on after the main break there was no
stopping us. Others would say these
are negatives, we didn’t show up until
half time and giving a team a head start
isn’t a good thing. But as Super said,
he wasn’t worried and knew it would
be turned around once we stuck to the
game plan. So let’s stick to the plan for
four quarters this week fellas, have a
LALOR
The best game of the season with
North prevailing by 15 points in the
last couple of minutes.
Bombastic Blood
SENIORS
We had our chances throughout the day
but North’s finishing was the difference.
Good to watch a couple of class acts
strut their stuff, wonder how good they
would be in the first division? Despite
the improved performance we have
now fallen three games behind the top
four and have a lot of work to do in the
second half of the season to bridge the
gap and earn a place in the finals.
RESERVES
The reserves were outplayed by a strong
North Heidelberg reserves team that
is first on the ladder, having not lost a
game this year. Jarrod Gloury and Andrew
Sneddon were our best in the loss.
UNDER-19s

good win and not give the supporters
heart attacks or cause Super to blow a
gasket! Best players were Moorey who
was everywhere as always, Simmo
and Big H who were great targets up
forward, Bulldog and Matty D and Kreuz
who played a great big man role after
half time. All the best today fellas, it’s
always good to have a win against Lalor.
RESERVES
Hopefully it feels as good for the players
out there as it looks to all those who are
watching on. Although Thomastown was
struggling it was an imposing display
of team unity that turned a win into a
drubbing. Run from behind, numbers
to the ball, switching, excellent talk, and
more run from behind all led to the 20goal deficit at the end of the match. Let’s
keep this up, but more importantly let’s
do this against better sides and we will
come out with wins. Winners all over the
ground and hard to pick the best when
everyone puts in, but well done to Indy
with nine majors, Brown with run all day
and a few switches to boot, Jarrod Agosta
who was in and under all day. Luke Fowler
was great in the middle and Fab, Rowds,
Truk, Justin T and Santa impressed again
streaming out of the backline and not
letting anything through. Lalor will be
out for a win today, but if we play like last
round there will be nothing that can stop
us. Good luck boys.
game against Reservoir, pulling away in
the last quarter for a good win. Seven
goals to three in the fourth quarter was
a great effort and the boys thoroughly
deserved the 34-point win. Steven
Deshong and Zac Chapman starred and
each kicked four goals as the young
Bloods pushed up to seventh on the
ladder with three wins and four losses
for the season thus far.
AROUND THE TRAPS
Thanks to the North Heidelberg boys
for attending our function before the
game and to the ladies, particularly
Jenny and Ivy for their help and Holla for

people in the rooms mingling together
after the game. We also now have a

2 and yet to lose a game after falling
to Lower Plenty in last year’s Grand
Final. Looks solid in every line with
new recruits John Kreuzer, Jarrod Tilley,
Daniel Haynes, Matt Dornauf and Daniel
Santoro all providing great service
in the opening half of the year. Most
definitely the team to beat as outlined
by solid wins against fellow contenders
Diamond Creek, North Heidelberg and
Fitzroy Stars . Not even an early season
injury to skipper Daniel Moore has
halted its charge towards September
Diamond Creek: Has suffered a
shocking run of injuries in the early
part of the season but has managed
to continue winning games. Brent
Gutterson has been superb up forward
and has booted 36 goals, while Jai
Norman is having a fine season in the
ruck. Started the season in red-hot
form and conceded just six goals in
the opening fortnight as it thumped
Hurstbridge and Thomastown by 120
and 140 points respectively. After
falling in the preliminary final in each
of the past three seasons, the Creekers
look primed for a long awaited Grand
Final berth.
North Heidelberg: Endured the worst
season in its history last year when it
went winless in Division 1, but is well in
contention for an immediate return to
the top flight on the back of a 6-2 return
from its first eight weeks in Division2. The
Doggies lost Jarrod King to a seasonending foot injury but the return of Shane
Harvey three weeks ago more than covers
King’s absence. Ran Epping to within 10
points after looking a winner deep in the
last term and will back itself if it meets the
premiership favourite in September.
Fitzroy Stars: Has surprised most of
the competition with its quick accession
from middle-tier team to premiership
contender. Youngsters Jye Brennan
and Jai Burns have impressed everyone
with their composure and ball-winning
ability while John Hayes and Patrick
Davis have combined for 61 goals
already. Won five of its opening seven
away games before claiming a 56-point
win over South Morang in its first home
game at Victoria Park. Now plays six
consecutive home games and has every
chance of claiming a top two finish.
Lalor: 12 months after looming as the side
most capable of stopping Lower Plenty’s
premiership dream last season, Lalor faces
an uphill battle to even make the finals in
2012. Lost its opening four games of the
season and sits 3-5, some three games
outside the top four. Still yet to win a
game against a side placed above it on the
ladder and still too reliant on forward Peter
Shepherd who has 40 goals in just seven
games which includes bags of 10 and eight
in wins over South Morang and Hurstbridge.
South Morang: Started the season in
competitive fashion, winning two of its
opening three games, but a run of five
consecutive losses has ended any chance
the Lions had of making this year’s finals
series. Mathew Pow has been a star up
forward while Simon Grossman has been
a great acquisition, however a series of
second half fadeouts has cost the club at
least three wins this year. Must respond
against Hurstbridge and Thomastown
over the next two weeks.
Thomastown: Has won just one game
in eight weeks but has been competitive
in many of its losses and must be
confident of winning a handful on
games in the run home. Has twice run
Epping within seven goals and only a
third quarter lapse cost it victory against
Lalor. Michael Manley’s serious shoulder
injury has hurt dearly, however the
form of recruit Raafat Rachrache has
been heartening with the midfielder
managing to push forward for 12 goals
already this season.
Hurstbridge: Winless after eight games
and faces a tough battle to remain in the
second division. Performed admirably
against Epping when it lost by just 15
points and enjoyed a massive crowd in
Round 8 when Jason Akermanis donned
the Bridges jumper for their clash with
Diamond Creek. Youngster Sean Jellie
has been a shining light while Ben
Fennell continues to inspire.

DIVISION 3 – Summary
It’s back to a full fixture of games
in Division 3 this week after last
Saturday’s results saw Panton Hill and
Reservoir victorious from the two
Queen’s Birthday weekend matches.
The Redbacks etched a step closer to
securing a double chance in the finals
when they outlasted a youthful St
Mary’s outfit at Cracknell Reserve.
With only six points separating the sides
at half time, Panton Hill restricted the
Burras to just one goal in the second
half before running out a 30-point
winner.
Benn Parker was best afield, while
Simon Amore and Abe Williams played
arguably their best games for the club.
Up forward it was Jonathon Byron who
again did the damage, booting seven
goals to take his tally against St Mary’s
to 16 from two outings this season.
The win moved Panton Hill back to the top
of the Division 3 ladder ahead of today’s
top of the table clash with Mernda.
It’s shaping as the biggest game of the
season to date with the Demons’ only loss
of the year coming against the Redbacks
when they first met back in Round 2.
On that day Mernda recorded eight more
scoring shots but fell to a 9.20 (74) to 13.8
(86) defeat at Mernda Recreation Reserve.
Since the 12-point loss, Mernda has won
its past five matches and heads into this
important clash on the back of a week’s
rest courtesy of last weekend’s bye.
Skipper Rohan Davies has been superb so
far in 2012, while recruit Tim Atkins has
made an immediate impact, as has Jai
Robinson since returning from VFL duties.
A win today would make Panton Hill
the short-priced favourite for this year’s
minor premiership and move it two
games clear in first place, however a
victory to the Demons will propel them
to the top of the ladder given their
superior percentage.
After ending a three-game losing streak
with its 73-point win over Heidelberg
West, Reservoir jumped back into third
place on the ladder at the expense of
St Mary’s.
The Mustangs did the damage early
against the Hawks, booting 12 goals
to two in the first half to take a
commanding 64-point lead into the half
time break.
Toby O’Meara booted a season-high
seven goals, while Ashley Flavel and
Kent Beaumont combined for another
seven as the Mustangs recorded their
first win since May 12.
Watsonia will have a new head coach
for today’s game with Dean McCluskey
named as replacement for Gavan Taylor
who departed the club following its
four-point loss to Heidelberg West a
fortnight ago.
A statement on the club’s website read:
“Following our eight week performance
review, covering all areas within the
club, Watsonia Sporting Club wishes
to advise all players and members
that we have mutually parted ways
with our senior coach Gavan Taylor. All
involved with Watsonia Sporting Club
thank Gavan for his work over the past
18 months and wish him well with his
future endeavours.”
Having won just once in their
opening seven games, the Saints will
hope for a better finish to the season
under McCluskey.
In the final game of the round Parkside
travels to Binnak Park for a mid season
elimination final with St Mary’s.
If the Devils are to have any chance of
making the 2012 finals series they must
win today and break a losing streak that
dates back to Round 4.
A loss would see Parkside fall three
games behind the top four and would
surely draw curtains on any remaining
finals aspirations.
St Mary’s last week fielded three debutants
in its clash with unbeaten Panton Hill and
despite its inexperience stayed with the
Redbacks until the final term.
Daniel Dober booted four majors in his
first senior match, including a contender
for goal of the year on his left foot from
deep inside the forward pocket.
His efforts earned high praise from
Panton Hill coach Dean Haydock who
awarded him three votes in the Coaches
Player of the Year Award.

DIVISION 3
ST MARY’S
Our under-19s and girls had a
weekend off along with just about
everyone else in the league. That left
just our seniors and reserves to make
the trek up the road to Panton Hill.
REZZIES
The twos were up for a big test given we
spoilt the Redbacks’ party last time when
they unfurled their 2011 flag. It went pretty
much to script from the first bounce with
the boys getting away to a flyer kicking 7.1
to a solitary behind which set the pattern
for much of the game. Winning the ball
out of the centre almost meant we could
spread the goal shooting options around
and we took a 50-point lead into half time.
The third quarter was pretty much the
same, extending our lead to 70 points. At
three-quarter time Pezz asked the boys to
run the game out and the boys pulled out
all stops, kicking 7.3 to one goal, giving us a
fantastic win by 109 points. Spreading the
goal kicking amongst 10 players, the major
contributor was Braze kicking four and
proving his value around the club. Who
would have thought that in the space of
two years we would reverse the whopping
we got from the Redbacks in our first game
when they knocked us off by 102 points?
Well done fellas, keep on improving and
PARKSIDE
The Queen’s Birthday long weekend
gave everyone a chance to get away
from footy for a weekend.
On the injury front the week off came
at the perfect time with Simmo and
Chrissy getting another week to get
over a bout of strained groins. Gilbo
was another who used the break to get
away from the footy field and freshen
up after the Mernda crowd took a shine
to him and were chanting his name
after he dropped a chest mark and then
got done holding the ball. It has been
an even longer break for Squizzy Taylor
after he got rubbed out. He has taken
the two-game suspension so seriously
he suspended himself from training.
AROUND THE CLUB
Shannon “The Wiz” Ware, the club’s
number one ticket holder and
Melbourne’s fiercest postman, is
apparently very close to missing out on
team of the decade honours after good
36
THE NORTHERNER
the rewards will keep coming.
SENIORS
A challenge we always look forward to
is playing Panton Hill at their home. It is
always a great measure to see where we
are at on a ground they play really well.
With the under-19s having a bye it gave
us a good opportunity to look at a few
younger boys who have impressed to
date. Promoted into the side this week we
saw Daniel Dober, Jarrod Millett and Nick
Daisley play their first senior games. The
boys accounted themselves pretty well
with Dobes a standout bagging four goals,
one of which came on his left foot from
the boundary line that was ‘Buddyesque’
and had everyone applauding. The
game itself was fairly similar to our first
encounter for the first three quarters with
only four points, six points and 11 points
separating both teams at each break. The
last was going to go down to the wire, but
where we thought our younger and fitter
bodies would prevail it was their bigger
bodies that won out on the day. Panton
Hill got two fairly quick ones on the board
that probably took any wind out of our
sails. We managed just one behind for the
quarter as the Redbacks went on to record
a deserved victory. We look forward to
playing you guys again in Round 17 at our
place where the temperature is bound to
be at least 15 degrees warmer!
SOCIAL NEWS
Organisation for the Sportsman’s Night
on July 14 is almost finalised with Dean
Jones, Greg “Diesel” Williams, Alex
Marcou (get the theme) to name just
a few. With limited seating see Soley
or Liz quickly for tickets. Start getting
your acts together for the infamous
Mr St Mary’s Night coming up at the
end of season. We are looking for more
acts this year to really make the night a
classic. See Soley again for details. And
don’t forget the Dinner Dance on July 28
at the Grande in Epping.
WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE
Things were a bit tamer last week with
Cez, Chiva and Schulzy getting the nod.
Cez got off lightly, having to assist Big
Tone doing early morning ground duty,
Schulzy cracked it because he had to
mow the coach’s lawn but the big ticket
item was watching Chiva do a Rocky
and down six raw eggs in one go.
Family Values, Family Focus, Family First
mate and self-appointed chief selector
Brad Hockey decided to give Andy
Bennet the forward pocket spot. The Wiz
has called the forward pocket his own
for the best part of ten years and once
kicked six goals against St Mary’s in its
first season in the league, back when
the side finished on the bottom of the
ladder. Hopefully he can score a spot on
the extended bench.
FOOTY TRIP
Footy trip money needs to start coming
in, so please see Junior for more details.
Davo’s, AKA Boofta, new fine system will
continue to ramp up in the following
weeks and hopefully start to raise some
much needed funds. The fine system has
raised a huge three dollars so far, and is
doing a roaring trade so be sure to behave
yourself or Boofta will be after you.
UPCOMING FUNCTION
The next function is only weeks away
with the Mexican themed fiesta to be
held on June 23 after our home game
against Heidelberg West. Friends, family
and acquaintances welcome.
TWITTER
Brad Hockey is having trouble getting
friends in the twittersphere so let’s try to
give him a chop out. He said if he gets
30 followers he will send a signed boot
to a lucky fan. You can find him with @
TheHock11. Currently he is following his
favourite AFL players @majakdaw and @
toddgoldstein22. Add him on Facebook
while you are at it as well.
TODAY
We return from the bye to take on
fourth-place St Mary’s as we look to get
back amongst the winners and keep in
touch with the top four.

DIVISION 3
PANTON HILL
The wet conditions on the small
Cracknell Reserve ground probably
favoured the undermanned Panton
Hill side against a high quality St
Mary’s outfit last Saturday.
SENIORS
The Redbacks started the better side
in a straight kicking and furious first
quarter. At one stage we got out to a
three-goal lead, but by quarter time
we held a narrow five-point margin.
Things tightened up in the second
quarter in gloomy conditions with the
game poised at the main break for a big
second half. Brett Thorn was dominating
but left the field early in the quarter
with a dislocated shoulder. The Burra
hit the front soon into the third quarter
but the Hills wrestled back the lead to
hold the advantage at the final break by
11 points as injuries to Lauchy Pearson
and Daniel Pratt started to take their
toll. But in the last quarter the Hills
knuckled down with no bench left to
grind out probably one of their best
wins of the season in the circumstances,
finishing with a 30-point victory. Joffa
Byron managed seven goals up forward
MERNDA
Since you last read the Mernda
Murmurs, Melbourne beat Essendon!
But this is best left to Mike Sheahan
to report on, while I report on this
brilliant club.
SENIORS
Our last game was two weeks ago,
and a 100 point win doesn’t show how
competitive Parkside were throughout
the game. Led by Cameron Curlis with
six and Jai Robinson who was brilliant,
Mernda put in the complete team
effort in the second half. It was a much
better than our difficult second half the
week prior against Reservoir where we
failed to kick a goal. It was important
we put in a four quarter effort ahead
of a mammoth match ahead against
Panton Hill.
RESERVES
To hold a team goalless, no matter who
the opposition are, is fantastic and
shows the excellent defensive pressure
that has been developed by the boys.
Although the gulf in class was there,
Parkside never ever gave up and kept
38
THE NORTHERNER
under a lot of pressure whilst Benn
Parker continued his good form and
Abe Williams, Simon Amore and Ben
Strongman dominated the midfield to
bring the ball forward time and time
again. Senior coach Dean Haydock was
very happy with the solid win and now
looks forward to the top of the table
clash against Mernda today.
RESERVES
The reserves were undermanned
and brought in a number of fill-ins to
battle against a very fast St Mary’s side,
filled with some under-19 youngsters.
Unfortunately the Hills were no
match for their more accomplished
opposition and ultimately went down
by a big margin. Matt Layt was the most
outstanding of the Panton Hill players in
the conditions. With some players back,
a better performance is expected today
against another tough opposition.
WELCOME BACK TO THE HILL
To our past players, members, officials,
supporters and life members, welcome
back to the Hill today. We hope you enjoy
the day and get another taste of local
Redbacks footy. We need your support
to make this a most successful year after
such a promising start. Thanks for coming.
FAMILY DAY & LEGENDS GAME – JULY 21
The club’s annual Family Day will be
held on the next bye – July 21. The day
will feature a juniors vs parents game,
WAGS vs junior mums match and finally

trying to the final siren, and you have
to give them credit for that. Jayden
Welch was best for our boys, and Shane
Martin kicked five goals. The reserves’
win means we have now won seven
games in a row and sit undefeated atop
the ladder.
UNDER-19s
We were outclassed but we certainly
weren’t embarrassed. Without a bench,
the boys put in a brave and valiant effort
against a brilliant group of lads. Nick
Avenoso was one of our better players,
kicking a couple of goals along the way,
and Adam Ryan played some decent
football too. Don’t feel down about the
loss boys, it was a wonderful effort with
all factors considered.
TODAY
Massive, massive, massive game. Last
time Panton Hill and Mernda played,
Panton Hill took a well deserved win
from Schotters Road. The Redbacks
haven’t looked back since, winning
every game. The seniors and the
reserves head up to Cracknell to take Hill
on, while the boys from the under-19s
head over to Coventry Oval to take on
Diamond Creek.
TOOL OF THE WEEK
Sorry Mernda boys for not including a

DIVISION 3
RESERVOIR
Excellent start by the seniors
although some easy misses at goal,
particularly early, has to be rectified if
we are to beat the top sides.
SENIORS
Keyes back after injury gave us first use
of the ball and Rooney had his zip back
and showed a clean pair of heels in the
wet slippery conditions. Toby’s topped
off his marking with seven goals but it
could have easily been 11. By beating
Heidelberg West for the second time in
seven weeks the seniors became the
proud winners of the inaugural “White
Ribbon Cup”. The cup is sponsored by
Stockdale & Leggo Real Estate, 966 High
Street Reservoir.
RESERVES
The reserves reversed the loss of the first
round with a big win over West. The two
boys from the under-19s showed they can
take to next step and Brett in for his first
game for the season will be better for the
run. Cousins was again amongst the goals.
WATSONIA
The weekend started in fantastic
fashion in the AFL with the mighty
Tigers getting home over St Kilda. Now
bring on those Pies!!! And what about
the pretenders, Essendon? Haha.
THE ONES
What a game! We started well and
were winning plenty of ball out of the
middle and managed to pile on three
quick goals to take an 11-point lead
into the main break. Heidelberg West
hit its straps in the second quarter and
reversed the game. They kicked six goals
to two in the second to be leading by 20
points at half time. We slowly got back
into the game and lead by 14 points at
the final break. The lead then changed
several times and the result really could
have gone either way. It was left to
Cootsey to make the final decision and
as we surged forward the siren went
and we went down by just four points.
Well done to West and thanks to them
for staying around for a while....although
Bryan Davis was hard to shake and he
even followed us to the RSL.
THE TWOS
The boys were out for revenge after West
40
THE NORTHERNER
UNDER-19s
Had a bye which enabled the club to
give Reece Miller a run in the seniors
where he acquitted himself quite well.
Dylan Cornford and Jack Dickman had a
run in the reserves.
FUNDRAISER
Although the weather was not kind to
the organisers of the stall in aid of Lyn
Bryne who has suffered breast cancer,
the girls did an excellent job in selling
boutique gifts along with a BBQ. The
girls also raffled many prizes for a great
cause and congratulations goesto all
involved.
UPCOMING FUNCTIONS

on Sunday and enjoy a spit roast lunch,
mystery prizes, $2 spirits glass between
11am – 1pm, $2 pots, $3 spirits and free
soft drink then it will cost you $40.
Past Players Day: Saturday, June 30
(Round 12).
90th Anniversary Ball: Saturday, July
took the points in the first round, a loss
that left Fos crying for days. This time
around he wasn’t playing so we were
looking good, with Simmo and Jimmy
dominating from start to finish and
we were always in control. Things are
starting to fall into place after the loss
of Logan and Fos will be back to replace
him soon. Great win boys, let’s make sure
we work hard after the bye to cement
our position inside the top four so that
we’re playing finals footy later this year.
A special mention to Johnny Saw who
has left a huge whole in our backline,
and Im talking about the space he takes
up! Only joking Forcer... good luck
AROUND THE CLUB
It was noted the Matty Crompton had
different shorts on this week and a toe
was detected.
Big Al has a secret girlfriend but won’t
declare who it is.
Souva declared ’”I gave 100%” after
playing four minutes of the game.
Camma actually broke his hand at
home, not being master of his domain!
Matt Buckley asked for a pay rise and
got told to “go get a hard ball’
Tony Hogg heads to play country footy
where his IQ is higher.

WHISTLE Whispers
A huge thanks to all who attended
the Trivia Night last Sunday at the
Garvey Oval rooms, and a special
thanks also to Craig Herman for
running the night.
– Forner
NEWS
There were smarties galore “disputing the umpire’s decision”
on the night; dummy spits and of course heaps of fun for all
that turned up!
It was a combined ‘ring-in’ team, headed by Di Herman which
took away the prize at the end of the night (raising quite a few
questions in the meantime)!
I sense after there were a number of people missing from
training last week that there may be a few people struggling
for fitness in this round of matches. Not the best time of the
year to be missing training, and for those that were there,
surely you will have the advantage come finals time!!
SLIP-UPS
One very experienced umpire, Denis Paul Groom – or should
that be Father Groom? – has been spotted frequenting church
at St Damien’s parish. No doubt Denis would have been
preaching the pro-biotic and spiritual qualities of a diet rich in
VB, but also some valuable life lessons from the 61 year-old. No
wonder he hasn’t been seen around the juniors for a few years.
Staying on experienced umpires, it was Cam McPherson who
is quoted as being “lucky to turn up” for his reserves game a
couple of weeks ago. After countless years in the seniors, Cam’s
return from injury was almost halted as he tried to remember
what time the B Grade games actually start.
It’s still not as bad as the shock you get waking up early for
the under-19s as I have been subjecting myself to all year
– continuing my “jack of all trades” reputation, waving the
flags every Saturday morning, although at some times, also
dropping the flags, as was witnessed last week at Reservoir.
SOCIAL
Our next social event is AFL night. This year, we’re heading to
Carlton vs Richmond on Saturday night, July 28. Make sure
you get your name on the attendance list at training, as if the
past few years are anything to go by, then these tickets will go
quicker than you can say “BALL!”
THE NORTHERNER
— The Northern Football League Record
This will be followed closely by the long-awaited Night at the
Dogs! $50/head for a buffet dinner (three course), form guide
and parking included. Children under 12 can purchase tickets
for just $15. Gates open at 6pm, with the last race to jump at
10:50. Saturday, August 11 at The Meadows race track. See the
website for more details.

Proud Northern Football League sponsor and official supplier
More than a billion people
worldwide do not have
access to safe drinking water but sometimes in Australia we
take our quality tap water for
granted.
Australians spend more than $500
million a year on bottled water, which
is not only putting greater strain on
the environment, it’s an expense we
can easily avoid. Melburnians are
rightly proud of our tap water, which
is primarily sourced from protected
natural catchments and requires very
little treatment before we drink it.
Medical experts agree that people
should drink at least 8 glasses of
water per day - more if they have
been exercising or outdoors.
So be healthy, Choose Tap!
Yarra Valley Water is proud to be
supporting sponsors of the Northern
Football League. Through this
partnership, we are helping to build
strong local communities and
encourage an active, healthy lifestyle
through sports and recreation.
