Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
“Photo of the Week”
This week’s Photo of the Week features Yonah Gutnick (U15 Jets) who
kicked his very first goal for the Jackas. All his teammates ran over to him and
helped him celebrate his goal, an occasion that Yonah will forever remember.
Yonah’s team had a massive 10 goal win and he is well respected by his
teammates. Now that he has kicked his first Jackas goal, we all hope there
are many more 6 pointers to follow. Well done and Mazel-Tov Yonah.

Shavuot – Round 6 – Sunday 24 May 2015
As a reminder due to Shavuot falling on Sunday (24 May) the AJFC WILL
NOT BE PLAYING ANY GAMES on this day.
The club is working very closely with the SMJFL to have matches rescheduled
to other days (or nights).
This is of course subject to the agreement of other clubs & teams and will also
depend on the availability of grounds etc.
The league will be doing all it can to ensure as many games as possible can
be rescheduled and we will keep you all informed and updated when further
information is known.
NEW WEBSITE
The AJAX football clubs are thrilled to announce the arrival of the
NEW ‘ONE CLUB” COMBINED WEBSITE”
The website contains lots of important and informative information for
both the Senior & Junior Football clubs, all on the one website.
Make sure you check it out at www.ajfc.com.au and visit it constantly
to find out lots of information about the clubs.
Better still, bookmark it as a favourite!!!
Over the coming weeks more content will be added to the site and our
appreciation of thanks are extended to our very own Website Guru,
Harry Jacobs and others who were involved in the creation of this “One
Club” website.
Any feedback can be sent to Harry at [email protected]
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
Time to introduce the AJFC Committee
Last week we introduced to the AJFC community one of the Executive
members of the AJFC Committee being our Vice President (Operations) Jeff
Wise.
This week we introduce the “head honcho” of the club President Dan
Antman, and the Vice President Football (Head of Football Operations),
Rod Nirens.
Name: Daniel Antman
Position at Club: President
What does your role entail? Wow – where do I start and where
do I finish? It’s really a coordination role. Like any leadership role
it is about getting the best out of the people around you and I think I
have achieved that given the fantastic output of our hard working
committee. Specifically the Presidents role is to act as advocate for the club
in external environments that includes the league, other clubs, councils,
Maccabi and other related parties involved in the running of sport. The role
also requires oversight of the all key areas of the club including the footy
department, operations and administration.
How many years have you been involved with the Club? This is my 4th
year as President and prior to that I was club secretary for a year. If I include
the years of running Auskick and being on the general committee, I think it
must be close to 8 or 9 years.
How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Energetic, Passionate and
Creative.
Do you have a motto and what is it? No, I’m afraid not. Although I do like
something I recently was taught “if you can’t afford to buy 2 of something don’t
buy 1” – kind of like that.
What is something surprising about you that people may not know? I
really like David Michelson (but please don’t tell anyone!)
Editors comment: Actually Dan doesn’t really like David Michelson……he actually
LOVES him being around the club and being part of the Committee.
What are some words of advice you can share with the AJFC
community? Most people will expect that my response to this question will
revolve around behaviour at the ground or the need to have more parents get
involved in the running of the club – but that’s not the case. While not advice
per se, I just want to encourage parents and the kids alike, to stay involved in
the footy club. Footy is a big part of our way of life in Melbourne and the club
provides a great place to connect our culture and community with our
favourite Melbourne sport – Aussie Rules Footy.
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
Do you have a funny joke to share with the AJFC community? I promised
I tried everything from corny to inappropriate so at the end of the day, I gave
up!
Who do you support in the AFL and why? Carlton and right now – “not
happy Jan”. I’ve been a member since I was about 15 years old – been
through the highs and going through the lows. Unfortunately for Collingwood
and Essendon supporters we’ll be back bigger and better!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now we introduce the Vice President Football (Head of Football Operations),
Rod Nirens.
Name: Rod Nirens
Position at Club: VP Football (Head of footy operations)
What does your role entail?
Placing kids in their
respective teams; overseeing match committee (team
selection each week for the graded teams); looking after all
our coaches; arguing with dog owners on Oval 4 at
Wednesday night training.
How many years have you been involved with the Club?
11 years in total – 4 years at Auskick and 7 years with the juniors.
How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Passionate, energetic,
empathetic.
Do you have a motto and what is it? I have two: (1) Be cool and
composed. (2) Pick your battles….focus your energy on what really matters.
What is something surprising about you that people may not know? I
work at Microsoft and I don’t really hate Apple.
What are some words of advice you can share with the AJFC
community? Enjoy watching your kids play footy, but make sure it is about
the kids and not the parents. Don’t take it too seriously and don’t look for
perfection – it ain’t gonna happen.
Do you have a funny joke to share with the AJFC community? I wondered
why the football was getting bigger, then it hit me!
Who do you support in the AFL and why? I’ve been a lifelong Collingwood
supporter and just love going to watch the biggest sporting club in the world.
My wife Kim is a passionate North Melbourne supporter so I’ve been a Roos
member for many years (I tend to go to more North games these days).
Stay tuned for the upcoming editions of the Weekly Wrap as further
committee members will be featured.
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
Round 5 Results & Match Reports
As a result of a recent directive from the SMJFL, clubs are no longer
permitted to publish any results (including goalkickers & best players)
for any of the modified rules age groups (ie U8’s, U9’s & U10’s).
The AJFC will be raising this at the upcoming Presidents meeting with
the SMJFL, however, in the meantime we need to abide by the league’s
directive.
U8 Comets
Match Report
Today we started focused and full of enthusiasm. Our ball movement was
quick with some boys taking the game on with great run and carry. We
continue to improve and develop as a team As parents and coaches you boys
make us proud. The sharing of the footy is making it fun to be part of the
team.
Keep up your love to play footy and every game will be a winner!! Go Jackas
Dave
U9 Comets
Match Report – They had a bye this round.
U9 Jets
Match Report
It was perfect conditions for a game of footy with only a slight breeze, dry and
very little skins were required to keep our boys warm today. We were off to a
solid start that saw the ball out of the center more often than not this week.
Hart is consistently winning out of the ruck to Rozenes delivering up forward
and even kicking a goal or two.
The ground was larger than what we are used to which saw us struggling a
little to move it consistently however there were many great efforts. Need to
work on our teamwork with sharing the ball around, this will ensure us to be
more competitive and backing each other up. Looking forward to our home
game next week to see if we can play all 4 qtrs with intensity.
U9 Stars
Match Report.
The stars played a fantastic, highly skilled game. We are gelling together as a
team exceptionally well. We started the game strongly with great team work
and commitment against another strong and fair team in Murrumbeena.
At times the backline was under siege but played beautifully as a tight unit
with great performances from Zak Harris and Sammy Kirsh, but the back six
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
were the complete package. We also got great service through the midfield
from Jethro Gunn and Ari Fell who were quick and tough through the middle,
while Boaz Rockman and Joseph Zayontz competed strongly in the ruck. And
the forward line also played fantastically well with Noah Epstein booting a
season high 5 goals, Chezkie buzzing around creating opportunities and
Justin Gross a big focal point out of the square.
Our best performance for the year, leading into this week’s bye, and a lot to
build on at training this week! Well done boys!
U10 Comets:
Match Report
After a dominant grading period the Comets found themselves promoted into
a much more competitive division.
East Brighton started strongly but the Comets found their rhythm as the game
played out. With gradual improvement there is no doubt we will be able
compete with the teams we will come up against in the coming weeks.
U10 Jets:
Match Report
A tight and exciting contest today in perfect conditions. Very enjoyable for all
parents to see the commitment being shown by our team at the moment
backed up by some great skills too.
In a low scoring match the first quarter highlight was a great running goal from
Kister. Our engine room of Smorgon, Graham and Pike were fierce at the ball
and didn’t allow Murrumbeena any easy possessions and Toby Grodski is
relishing his role as the sweeper one kick behind the play. A lovely snapped
goal from Gostin in the second term gave us some breathing space going into
half time.
Murrumbeena proved a very difficult opponent to shake and an inspirational
third term from Pike and a couple of tremendous pack marks from Smithson
were probably the difference in the end. Great games today from Joseph and
Krongold as well.
Let’s enjoy our week off next week and come back playing as we have the last
month, Go Jackas!
U11 Comets: Ajax 3.3 (21) drew with St Kilda City Black 2.9 (21)
Goals: Chrapot 3
Best: Alter, Eliau, Jotkowitz, Shaw, C Sheezel, H Sheezel
Match Report
The Under 11 Comets received an initiation into how tough life is going to be
after promotion to the highest division of Under 11 football when they faced
St. Kilda City Black at home on Sunday.
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
After scoring the only goal with aid of the breeze in the opening term, they
managed to fight back from a second quarter onslaught of 2.7.19 to nothing to
outscore the opposition in the second half and squared a thrilling, high
standard game of entertaining football.
The character of the team was tested at three quarter time when it trailed by 5
points kicking into the wind in the last. They lifted their game and were
attacking in the end when the siren sounded; the scoreboard showing the
teams locked together in a draw.
The emphasis in the weeks to come will be on hard team work and running
and spreading to advantage, a necessity at the level the sport.
U11 Jets: Bye
Goals: n/a
Best: n/a
Match Report
No report as they had a bye.
U12 Comets: Prahran Blue 4.10 (34) def Ajax 2.5 (17)
Goals: Katz, Kavallero
Best: Ehrlich, Kras, Peker, Schwarz, Szer, Vogel
Match Report
Unfortunately the boys finished the game with their first loss of the year,
to head into the bye 4-1 for the season. In what was the first game since
being promoted to Div 2, the lads, it's safe to say, were shocked at the
speed and precision of the ball movement, displayed by the opposition
Prahran. However the boys should take pride that we kept the opposition
scoreless in the second half, scoring one ourselves.
The match was the 50th for Indy Briskin, Aden Katz and Josh Lindell, with
Josh 'celebrating' the milestone by unfortunately suffering a Collar Bone
break. Use of the ball in traffic and spread from the contest will be the focus at
training, as well as helping the boys to understand that we ABSOLUTELY
BELONG in Div 2.
Keep up the hard work, boys and things will fall into place one way or
another. Great effort.
U12 Jets: Hampton Rovers 9.7 (61) def Ajax 0.1 (1)
Goals: nil
Best: Baron, Bergman, Dzienciol, Flinkier, Lowe, Shostak
Match Report
No report.
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
U13 Comets: Ajax 10.5 (65) def St Kilda City 6.5 (41)
Goals: A Carp 2, Cohen 2, Fibishenko, Herskope, Marabel-Whitburn,
Micmacher, Mitsel, Taranto
Best: A Carp, Grodski, Marabel-Whitburn, Micmacher, Sheezel, Zukerman
Match Report
Finally moving up to the correct division we were met by a competitive
opponent. The initial shock of difference in skill level probably through us but
as the boys settled they gelled and showed why they deserved to move up.
Defense was very strong and the forward line lead all day. The midfield
quickly learnt an important lesson on manning up when they have the ball.
Once it clicked they were very effective in shutting down the opponent. Great
team effort and a great start in div 2!!
U13 Jets: Murrumbeena 6.9 (45) def Ajax 4.5 (29)
Goals: Bursztyn 2, Zayontz, King
Best: Bursztyn, de Waal, Goldberg, Meltzer, Weller, Zuker
Match Report
Another tough day at the office for the U13 Jets, but 2nd and 3rd quarters
showed what we are capable of when we set our minds to it. Heads up, we
are just about to turn the corner.
U14 Comets: Ajax 16.10 (106) def St Peters FC 5.14 (44)
Goals: Jacobs 4, Lipton 3, Krongold 2, Taranto 2, Elbaum, Eliau, Kalb,
Nirens, Zukerman
Best: Bryer, Jacobs, Kalb, Krongold, Lipton, Siegel
Match Report
What an amazing TEAM performance. St Peters came out with a very
physical game plan, but the boys stood tall, weathered the storm and hurt
them on the scoreboard.
Every single boy played their guts out. You did the jumper proud.
“GREAT……..LOVE IT”
U14 Jets: South Melbourne 10.9 (69) def Ajax 7.8 (50)
Goals: Orbach 2, Pincus 2, Benhamou, Franks, Southwick
Best: Franks, Freedman, Lang, Levy, Miller, Orbach
Match Report
No report.
U15 Comets: Ajax 10.11 (71) def Cheltenham 6.5 (41)
Goals: Gold 3, Hendel 2, Blecher, Cohen, Efron, Spicer, Zielinski.
Best: Efron, Hendel, La Sala, Malka, Nankin, Reicheneberg
Match Report
A gorgeous day today and a great game played by the Comets.
Season 2015 Weekly Wrap – Edition 5
After a spirited pre game talk, the boys went on to the field 2 players down
and with a lot to prove to themselves. A hard game of football was won
because they played as a team who would fight for a win. Congratulations
boys. A game well played.
U15 Jets: Ajax 11.7 (73) def East Sandringham 1.8 (14)
Goals: Kaplan 3, Davis 2, Gutnick, Kupshik, Pat, Procel, Roth, Tenenbaum
Best: Braverman, Gabriel, Gutnick, Kaplan, Procel, Zeimer
Match Report
For the second week in a row the Jets kept the opposition scoreless in the first
quarter. An intense 4 quarter effort on a glorious winter day saw us through to
a good victory and an energetic rendition of the club song.
***Mazeltov to Yonah Gutnick on his first goal!***
U16’s: St Peters Bentleigh 10.11 (71) def Ajax 5.11 (41)
Goals: Beaconsfield 2, Liberman, Marks, Rosham.
Best: Bassat, Herskope, Jacks, Liberman, Marks, Shenker
Match Report
A pretty lack luster performance today. We started very flat and continued that
way all day. The hard work was left to a few. If we think we are a serious finals
contender have to contribute for four quarters every week. Just not good
enough today.
U17’s: Ajax 14.11 (95) def East Sandringham/Hampton 9.4 (58)
Goals: Aufgang 4, Lipton 3, Paltiel 3, Cohen 2, Fisher 2
Best: Aufgang, Bookman, Cohen, Davis, Kluwgant, Paltiel
Match Report
1 rotation all day and a number of setbacks but our first div 1 game ends up a
win. Huge effort from the boys. Onwards and upwards from here. Thanks to
Nick and Dean for holding the fort.
