There are very few areas in which the
‘good old days’ outshine the modern
game. Some may lament the diminished
impact of the power forward, the
seemingly pointless player rotations
or the increased financial demands
of players. However, the game has
changed dramatically, particularly
since the game at the highest level has
become a professional vocation.
One thing that constantly irritates me
is when people state that our game
is or has become soft. The sport has
managed to eradicate much of the
cowardly acts of aggression (hits
behind play etc.) and the cowardly
acts of prejudice (racist slurs etc.);
however the occasional ignorant act
still occurs. Today’s players are fitter,
stronger and more skillful than in
previous generations. The game is
played at a faster pace and players
are having far more involvements in
the game – for instance, forwards and
backs are covering more ground and
getting to more contests than ever
before as strategies such as the press,
rolling zones and midfield rotations are
applied.
What that creates are more collisions at
a faster pace between stronger bodies.
These higher velocity impacts can have
a damaging affect as seen last Sunday
when Carlton’s Marc Murphy collided
with Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield. If
those players had have got their angle
of entry wrong, that collision, like
so many others, could have had life
changing consequences. If one of those
players had gone head first, they may
be sitting in a wheelchair right now –
career over, life changed forever.
This may sound dramatic, but it a very
real possibility. Over the last few weeks
we have seen increased attention
given to head high tackles and players
seemingly ‘milking’ free kicks. Kevin
Smith’s message to the umpires is
simple – if a player is contacted high,
they are to be awarded a free kick
THE NORTHERNER
unless the player initiated the high
contact through the act of ‘ducking’ or
such actions. Umpires are instructed to
protect the player going for the ball and
this will always be the umpire’s natural
instinct. The last thing anyone wants
to see is a player with life changing
outcomes from an avoidable collision.
All players must ensure they play
and conduct themselves within the
rules. Football is and always will be a
contact sport and as mentioned, that
contact is becoming more powerful.
It often amuses me to see a grown
man, rugged up against the cold,
commenting that the umpires are
turning the game ‘soft’. The umpires
have a tremendously difficult task
officiating one of the most subjective,
complicated and technical sports
in the world. Their directives and
the rules that they apply come from
administrators who endeavour to
make for a game that is entertaining,
dynamic and safe. I love the physical
aspect of our game but I also love
seeing all 44 players leaving the
ground physically sound.
Sure, injuries will happen however we
are all aware that the head is ‘sacrosanct’
and players have a duty of care to
ensure that is upheld.

BLOODS BACK IN CONTENTION
BLUES LEAVE STARS GAZING
Epping reclaimed top place on the
Division 2 ladder with a runaway
41-point win over Fitzroy Stars at Epping
Recreational Reserve on Saturday.
The game was an epic struggle for three
quarters with never more than 14 points
between the two sides before the Blues
piled on seven goals to three in the final
term for an 18.18 (126) to 13.7 (85).
For the second week in a row Matthew
Garland moved forward and proved the
hero. After dominating off half back,
Garland pushed forward in the last and
booted two goals to seal the match.
Daniel Moore was instrumental and was
the dominant big man on the field. His
dominance around the ground enabled
midfielders Luke Lirosi and Brenton Keating
to find plenty of ball at ground level, with
Lirosi’s pace a decisive factor in the game.
Fitzroy Stars were well served by
youngsters Jye Brennan and Jai Burns
who provided silk and poise all day,
while Lionel Proctor and James Dau
worked hard at half back and repelled
well out of defensive 50.
But the Stars lacked potency up forward
with prominent forwards Patrick Davis
and John Hayes restricted to just three
goals for the day.
Conversely, Epping was able to hit the
scoreboard with greater ease as Garland
booted four and Willitts and Matt
Dornauf were able to take big grabs
when it counted.
Why is Craig
Huggins one
of our weekly
expert tippers?
Huggy is the 9am-1pm ‘jock on Gold
104.3, a former TV sports-reporter, football
writer and past player in the NFL.
After stints in the VFA, Diamond Creek
asked if he’d like to join them in a
practice-match in 1990 after seeing him
running laps of their oval.
He did and joined Creek where he
played primarily in the reserves based
around his radio commitments.
He eventually became vice captain of
the reserves until his ‘retirement’ just
prior to the 1997 season.
A chance meeting with an old friend
then saw Huggy venture to Panton Hill
4
THE NORTHERNER
Willitts could have sealed the game
earlier, but with his radar off target, he
was only able to kick a wasteful 2.4.
Epping started the game well and shot
out to a 13-point lead in the opening
eight minutes with early goals to
Garland and Dornauf.
But after looking shell-shocked early,
Fitzroy Stars got back into the game
with increased tackling pressure and
intensity at the ball.
They kicked the next two goals through
Jai Burns and Tyson Lovett-Murray
and levelled the scores at 15 apiece at
quarter time.
Again, Epping started the second
quarter in blistering form and raced out
to a 14-point lead after heading inside
50m eight times in the opening five
minutes of the term.
But as they did in the opening stanza,
Fitzroy again rallied when it looked to
be in serious trouble.
The Stars began to dominant through
the middle of the ground with Proctor
and Brennan involved in everything.
The visitors kicked four goals in eight
minutes to take a nine-point lead.
That lead could have extended further
but for John Hayes’ 50m shot on the run
being touched on the goal line.
The momentum then swung back
Epping’s way with Peter McMahon
reducing the margin back to three
points with a long goal with five
minutes remaining in the term.
Daniel Haynes then bobbed up with
two goals in the final minute of the half
– the second coming after the half time
siren – to give the Blues a nine-point
lead at the main break.
Neither side could land a decisive blow
in the third term, sharing four goals
apiece to leave Epping 13 points in front
at three-quarter time.
Josh Wanganeen booted a wonderful
45m running goal midway through the
quarter to level the scores, but again
it was late goals that swung the lead
Epping’s way with Harley Nancarrow
and Willitts scoring majors.
Allan Norris kicked a miraculous goal
over his head to close the margin to just
six points at the beginning of the final
term, but it was as close as the Stars
would get.
With Willitts marking everything and
Garland at his opportunistic best, the
Blues piled on seven of the next nine goals
to runaway with a 41-point win – the final
lead the highest margin of the game.
Epping now travels to Ben Frilay Oval for
a clash with bottom-placed Hurstbridge,
while Fitzroy Stars face another stern
test when they take on third-placed
Diamond Creek.
Final score: Epping 18.18 (126) def
Fitzroy Stars 13.7 (85)
in its debut year in the League to bolster
numbers on the training track.
However, lack of players saw him line-up
for the Redbacks three weeks later
against his old Club Diamond Creek
where he kicked egiht goals.
He continued playing, winning the
reserves goal-kicking award five years
in a row, and captaining the Redbacks
in 2000 – the club’s first finals-series
in the League, ironically defeating a
red-hot favourite Diamond Creek in the
Elimination Final.
Craig hung up the boots after that 2000
tilt – until two seasons ago when he was
training for fun, and the ‘Hills were short
on players, so he laced them up again
for 10 games in 2010.
He played a further 10 last season
and was part of the 2011 Panton Hill
reserves Premiership squad.
Craig is actively involved in other areas
of the NFL. He continues to host official
Panton Hill functions including the
annual Trivia Night and President’s
Luncheon, as well as similar roles for
other NFL and AFL Clubs.
He is the MC of the NFL Juniors
Presentation Night, his son plays under10s for Research where he can be seen
in various roles on the sidelines.
Huggy’s links between Panton Hill and
‘Creek are still strong. The clubs play
each other for the “Graham Cannon
Trophy”. The idea, as well as the long
inspirational inscription on the trophy,
was written by Craig Huggins.
Huggy heads to NFL matches every week,
gathering info for his ‘expert’ tips, and

By Jarrad Conron
Lalor has notched up its second win of
the season with a convincing 49-point
win over South Morang at Mill Park
Lakes Reserve on Saturday afternoon.
The win helped the Bloods climb to fifth
on the Division 2 ladder with the final
score 20.11 (131) to 11.16 (82).
A week after kicking eight goals against
Hurstbridge, Peter Shepherd again
starred up forward kicking 10 goals –
bringing his total to 32 for the season.
It was the second week in a row that the
2011 lead goal scorer won the game off
his own boot, with Matthew Micallef
also solid up forward for the Bloods,
slotting three goals of his own.
For the losing side, Matthew Pow was the
only multiple goal kicker with four goals,
as the Lions failed to produce the form
that saw them challenge Epping and
Diamond Creek over the past fortnight.
South Morang came out hard in the first
quarter, kicking the first two goals but Lalor
soon settled and were able to hit back
though with three of their own to take a
four-point into the quarter time break.
Despite the determined comeback, the
Bloods’ lead could also be attributed to
South Morang’s inaccurate kicking at goal.
The second quarter was a tight affair, with
only 5 goals kicked between the teams.
Lalor booted three of those to take an
eight-point lead into the long break.
After the main break South Morang
came out strongly and hit the front due
to some great play from Matthew Pow.
The big forward kicked two goals and
had a hand in the third to put the Lions
in front from a goal.
But Lalor found a new gear once they fell
behind and kicked seven goals to one
for the remainder of the quarter to take
a commanding 26 point lead into the
final term.
With the four points close to secured, Lalor
again stepped up in the last to kick seven
goals to three to take out the 51-point
win. Four of the Bloods’ last-quarter goals
went to Shepherd who just could not be
stopped by the end of the match.
Over the past two week’s he has booted
nine goals in the final term and his
scintillating form is proving the catalyst
for Lalor’s revival in 2012.
Both teams’ midfields played hard,
tough footy but the ability of the Lalor
players to hit targets helped them
secure the win. Those targets were
Shepherd and Micallef who were both
able to continually take contested marks
and then convert their opportunities.
Lalor will now look to secure a third
straight win when it returns home to
face a Thomastown buoyed by its first
win of the season over Hurstbridge.
South Morang will hope to cause an
upset when it faces North Heidelberg at
Shelley Street Reserve.
Final score: South Morang 11.16 (82)
def by Lalor 20.11 (131)
quarters, while the young legs of Bryce
Adams and James Gebert worked hard
throughout the match.
After an even first quarter that saw
Diamond Creek lead by three points,
North Heidelberg booted clear thanks
to Naylon’s purple patch. Additional
goals to Gilbert, Pasquale Saccuzzo and
Harvey saw last year’s wooden spooner
from Division 1, leading by 29 points at
the main break.
Harvey snapped truly out of mid air to
start the action for the third quarter,
however the momentum swung to
Diamond Creek 10 minutes in, as North’s
discipline began to wane. Brown goaled
thanks to a double 50 metre penalty,
and then added a second after taking a
strong contested mark.
When Brenton Hoppe snapped truly
after sharking the ball from a boundary
throw in, the Demons had a sniff of a
comeback victory. Then Daniel O’Regan
booted two goals in three minutes in
time on and the chance of a massive
win was real.
North Heidelberg coach Leigh Gray, gave
his chargers a deserved serve at the three
quarter time break, asking for his team
to continue to work towards the club’s
structures, and to keep its discipline.
However, the home side looked to have
all the running when O’Regan marked
and handballed to Brent Gutterson who
kicked truly from the goal line.
Gutterson, who had booted 22 goals
in the five games prior, had been
blanketed by Leigh Bentley, but was
able to bob up at the right moment.
But North regained its composure
after the injury break to Norman, and
steadied thanks to Naylon’s 16th of the
season. When Massey booted his second
the margin was back out to 14 points.
Rikki Stephens took a strong contested
mark, and launched a 50 metre bomb
to keep Diamond Creek in touch, but
it was the former Essendon and North
Melbourne player Harvey, who sealed
the victory with his third after pushing
off his opponent to take a tough mark.
North Heidelberg will head back home
to Shelley Street this week to take on
South Morang, while Diamond Creek
faces another massive challenge when
they host Fitzroy Stars at Coventry Oval.
Final score: Diamond Creek 11.8 (74)
def by North Heidelberg 13.11 (89)
DOGGIES SHOW THEIR BITE
By Michael Hogg
North Heidelberg has kept its chances of
a top two spot alive with a determined
15-point victory over Diamond Creek at
Coventry Oval on Saturday.
Four consecutive goals to spearhead
Ben Naylon in a 20-minute period was
the catalyst for the victory, which saw
the Bulldogs run out victorious 13.11
(89) to 11.8 (74).
To add insult to injury for the Demons,
in-form follower Jai Norman left the
field at the five-minute mark of the final
quarter with what appeared to be a
serious neck injury.
After trailing at the quarter time break,
North booted clear in the second term
with a six goal to nil quarter that was
set up thanks to their dominance at
stoppages, smashing the Demons 17 to 6.
Jason Dean was supreme in the ruck,
giving first advantage to Leigh Gilbert,
Daniel Bramich, and Stephen Saddington,
while returning forward Shane Harvey
provided plenty of spark up forward for
North, kicking three goals.
For Diamond Creek, the absence of
Ryan Burton was felt hard. Despite this

BULLS TAME TIGERS AGAIN
ROOSTERS REDISCOVER FINALS FORM
By Clare Cosgrave
Bundoora and Heidelberg came
together in last year’s Grand Final
replay on Saturday afternoon from
two very different stances.
Reigning premiers, the Bulls were yet
to drop a game whilst the Tigers had
suffered a demoralising defeat against
Montmorency last week on home soil.
The Bulls were confident of retaining their
undefeated start whilst the Tigers were
desperate for the all-important, four points.
The Tigers were keen to have quality
ruckman and utility Michael Gay back in
the side after injury. However his return
could not stop the dominance that
Bundoora displayed in the first quarter.
The Bulls aptly rampaged through a
shocked and injury-ravaged Heidelberg
team, kicking four unanswered goals. The
Bundoora boys were in a class of their
own, spreading well around stoppages
and linking through quick handballs and
effective kicks to hit up targets in the
forward 50m.
Bundoora’s Paul Harrison looked lively
and was unlucky to finish the quarter
without any majors. Gary Moorcroft and
Cameron Cloke teamed up to produce
some magic, plummeting the hopes of
the solid support base for the Bergs’.
Bull Matty Hyde, did a brilliant job in a
sweeper role down back. He often ran the
ball through the corridor providing the
Bulls with some pace, whilst also creating
opportunities for the forwards.
It was only when Caleb Tiller became the
beneficiary of a free kick straight in front
of goal that the scoreboard seemed a
small fraction brighter for the visitors.
The Tigers came out firing in the second
quarter and looked like a completely
different outfit. Although Matt Dennis
put in the first goal, the Tigers lifted their
intensity and asserted their dominance
around the ground, dominating the
contested possession count.
The Tigers’ response was inspiring and
contagious as the visitors’ fans found
good reason to find voice when Sean
Logie kicked a fantastic running goal off
the back of coast to coast team work.
Josh Houlihan played an important role
for Heidelberg – his work rate around
stoppages and at the contested ball
made for great viewing. His efforts were
rewarded when he kicked truly pegging
back a much more manageable margin.
Just when the momentum seemed to be
swinging with the Tigers, poor judgement
in the Tigers backline led to a very easy
goal for Andrew Stellas. Then Moorcroft
popped up from nowhere, much to the
locals delight. He twisted and turned his
opponent inside out to narrowly squeeze
through a most magnificent goal. The
Tigers persisted and jagged one back
when Allan Young kicked a beauty from a
tight angle.
Cloke, who had been kept quiet for much
of the first half, seized his opportunity
on the boundary close to the clubrooms
and split the big sticks. His celebration
was fitting, the crowd loved it and were
almost ready to jump the fence to hail
their gun forward.
The siren sounded on what was a table
turning half of local suburban football. Kids
streamed onto the ground practising their
banana shots on goal whilst wedging a
sausage in their mouth. There was a palpable
excitement in the air for what was going to
be another cracking half of football.
Young drew first blood for the Tigers slotting
a goal only one minute into the third
quarter. But the Bulls weren’t to be undone,
with Salvatore Mammone hitting up the
leading Moorcroft to maintain the margin.
Luke Hyatt for the Bulls was creative
when he spun his way into the goal
square to capitalise on a costly turnover.
But from there it was to be a tough
quarter for both teams, slugging it out,
hunting the ball in large numbers and
tackling with great tenacity.
Then Michael Finn, nicknamed ‘Irish’ by
the Tiger fans, kicked a good rebounding
goal and inspired a second through team
mate George Nabbout.
The momentum was swinging the
Tiger’s way until Brayden Shaw produced
arguably the running goal of the season.
He broke lines, ran through players,
twisted and slotted a beauty right on
three-quarter time.
Locals packed in at the Bulls last address,
as head coach Phil Maylin stressed to his
players the importance of concentration,
applying pressure around the ball and
keeping to the teams set structures.
Brent Marshall proved quite a handy small
forward when he crumbed the pack to
snap an around the body goal. Marshall’s
work rate and intensity was reflective of
the whole Bundoora team unit.
Jess Sinclair displayed why he once ran
with the best in the AFL, providing great
service to his forwards but overall his
silkiness was not enough. The Tigers
put up great fight but were ultimately
outweighed by the same margin as the
last Saturday of last September.
Final score: Bundoora 14.10 (94) def
Heidelberg 13.6 (84)
PANTON HILL TRIUMPHS IN UNDEFEATED CLASH
By Liam O’Callaghan
Panton Hill has moved into outright
favouritism for the Division 3
premiership after beating Reservoir,
the only other undefeated team in the
competition, by 25 points.
The Redbacks were in control of the
game for most of the day despite
conceding the first two goals and
managed to hold a four-goal lead up
until the final siren.
On the day it celebrated the 65 year
anniversary of its 1947 premiership
success, Reservoir provided a hard contest
and made sure that it was never too far
out of reach. However it was the Redbacks’
ability to find space and use the ball better
that enabled them to get over the top.
The first quarter rained goals as the
teams combined for nine majors
throughout the quarter. Reservoir
started strongly, kicking the first two
but Panton Hill quickly took control
of the game. The Redbacks started
to get first hands on the ball and win
the clearances. This resulted in the
ball staying in Panton Hill’s attacking
half and the forwards duly converted,
kicking five goals in a row.
But before they could run away the
Mustangs hit back, kicking the last two
to reduce the margin to 11 points.
In the second quarter both teams stepped
up their games. The Mustangs started
winning their share of contested ball. The
teams went goal for goal at the beginning
of the quarter but it was Panton Hill who
By Tom Morris
West Preston-Lakeside has entered
Following a tight first half in which both
teams controlled the play at various
moments, the Roosters kicked away in
the third term to take a 35-point lead
into the final quarter.
The visitors dominated the possession
count all day, registering almost 400
touches and 166 marks – a clear
indication of their capacity to share the
ball efficiently on a consistent basis.
Simon Close, an unassuming key
forward who booted six goals, all before
three quarter time, was the beneficiary
of some classy ball movement from the
Roosters midfield.
Kris Bardon, Matthew Vasilevski and
Shaun Gannon all had over 30 touches
and were relentless in their desire to get
first hands on the footy.
At three wins and three losses, the Roosters
are yet to win consecutive games.
“We are nowhere near ahead of
ourselves,” coach Vin Dattoli said.
“We have to get some momentum and
win consecutive games. We had a little
bit of work to do from last week attitude
-wise, so the big focus for us was to try to
get our heads right to play a game of footy
as a team and get back to winning the
hard ball which we were able to do today.”
Despite taking a one-point lead into
the quarter time huddle, Northcote
Park didn’t take advantage of numerous
opportunities from then on and lacked a
strong forward presence.
Cougars coach Jason Heatley
lamented his side’s lack of flair when
moving the ball forward, allowing the
visitors to get men behind the ball
and rebound proficiently.
“I think too much we concentrated on
kicking the footy down the line where
we weren’t looking inside ... It really
played into their hands because we
didn’t have big Woonton down forward
and Considine went down injured early.
This made it really difficult to kick to
bigger targets because we just didn’t
have any there. So we had to improvise
and we didn’t do that well,” he said.
If anything Northcote Park had more of the
play in the first term. Its persistence in the
clinches was exemplified by a fierce tackle
on Ashley Bardon deep in the Cougars
forward 50, at which point Bronik Davies
picked up and goaled opportunistically
under immense pressure.
At a frantic pace, the contest was
becoming a matter of who could
take their chances. To this end the
Roosters were head and shoulders
above their opponents, creating
fewer opportunities but taking each
one. Alternatively, the Cougars were
manufacturing more but taking less.
An even distribution of play in the
second term wasn’t reflected on the
scoreboard as the 2010 premier took a
15-point lead into the main break.
The game lacked spice in the second
half, a string of missed chances from
Jake Mills and the lively Nyaburu
Kelly, deflating an otherwise resolute
Northcote Park. They were not the only
culprits - the inability to hit targets via
foot was as much of an issue up the field
as it was in the forward 50m.
As if West Preston could smell blood,
they began to toy with the away
team, chipping the ball laterally and
possessing the football as if they had it
on an elastic band. Similarly efficiently,
their distribution via handball and
the way they were willing to run and
share was reminiscent of their 2010
premiership success.
It was a similar story in the last and
when Billy Micevski extended the
margin to 41-points, the result was
effectively a foregone conclusion.
Frustratingly for the Cougars, their
structure with the ball began to
resemble a Kieren Perkins Uncle Toby’s
advert, with every Northcote Park
forward stationary and pleading with
the ball carrier to ‘kick it to me.’
At the other end of the ground,
Close persisted tirelessly. “Closey’s
efforts week in, week out are always
phenomenal,” Dattoli said. “So it’s a great
result for him to kick six goals to reward
his work ethic.”
West Preston will attempt to cement a
spot in the top five next week when it
faces Heidelberg, whereas Northcote
Park hosts the unbeaten Bundoora
at Bill Lawry Oval, a venue which the
Cougars haven’t won at since the
opening round of the season.
Final score: Northcote Park 10.8 (68)
def by West Preston-Lakeside 14.5 (89)
yet again made the most of its advantage,
kicking three goals in a row midway through
the quarter. While Reservoir was able to drag
back two late goals it was Panton Hill who
improved its lead to 17 at the half.
The game looked like it was going to
be a shootout with 18 goals to the half
but both teams came out after half
time with a defensive focus. Each of
the backlines stood up and defended
desperately. Their job was made easier
by the scrappy nature of the third
quarter. There was plenty of pressure
around the ball and the disposal
efficiency dropped. The quarter ended
in a stalemate as Reservoir and Panton
Hill were only able to kick one goal each.
Coming into the final quarter Reservoir
was 18 points down but still in with a
chance. However Panton Hill had other
ideas. It grabbed the first clearance and
was quickly able to find Joffa Byron who
converted. From there the Redbacks
peppered their forward line with entries
and Byron was able to kick two of the
next four to but the game beyond reach.
The best for Panton Hill was Brett Thorn
he led the way in the midfield providing
plenty of run. His good disposal was
able to make a difference. Ben Parker
was also impressive on the wing
making the most of the open spaces of
Crispe Park. Joffa Byron efforts cannot
be overlooked either, his five goals,
particularly his three in the last quarter,
were crucial to the win.
As for Reservoir Jason Dal Santo excelled
in the centre, standing up when the
Mustangs needed it and keeping them
in the game. In addition to him, Ben
Mowlam was a rock down back and was
able get on the end of many of Panton
Hill’s attacks and kill the contest.
Final score: Panton Hill 15.15 (105)
def Reservoir 12.8 (80)
the top five after a convincing
21-point win over Northcote Park at
Bill Lawry Oval on Saturday.

THE Highlighter – Round 7
DIAMOND CREEK V FITZROY STARS
After both falling to Round 6 losses,
Diamond Creek and Fitzroy Stars clash
in a battle for second place on the
Division 2 ladder when they meet at
Coventry Oval today.
be spreading the word through the likes of The
Footy Show, SEN, and Sunday news on Channel 7
well

ell aass ttheir
he websites.
es.
For the Stars, last week’s loss was the
first blemish in an otherwise perfect
start to the 2012 season, while for the
Demons last week’s defeat to North
Heidelberg was the second in four
weeks as injuries begin to take their toll.
The Creekers began the season in
blistering form, smashing Hurstbridge
and Thomastown by 120 and 140 points
respectively in the opening fortnight of
the season, before enduring a difficult
period over the past month.
The third-placed side has suffered losses
to Epping and the Doggies, and has
been forced to grind out tight wins over
both Lalor and South Morang over the
past four weeks.
With six of its starting 18 out injured,
Paul Kennedy’s side has begun blooding
youth with a handful of under-19s
gaining a taste of senior football in
recent weeks, something which could
prove a blessing in disguise in the latter
part of the season.
Last week’s 15-point loss was
compounded by an injury to talented
young ruckman Jai Norman who was
concussed and hurt an ankle in a
sickening boundary throw-in collision in
the final quarter.
To the Demons’ credit, they never threw
in the towel and, after trailing by five
goals at three-quarter time, managed
to close to within five points of the
Doggies in the last quarter.
They eventually ran out of steam but
showed that even with a depleted list they
can still match is with the best teams in
the competition – particularly when Brent
Gutterson is firing up forward.
But as gallant as the Creekers have
been, a loss today puts them in serious
danger of missing out on a top two spot
come season’s end. Should the Stars
get the spoils, Diamond Creek will most
likely slip to fourth place on the ladder
and with a 4-4 record, will fall two
games behind the top two sides.
Fitzroy will rue its last quarter fadeout at
Epping where it eventually succumbed
to a 41-point loss to the ladder-leader.
The Stars trailed by just six points early
in the final term before conceding seven
of the final nine goals of the match.
Despite the disappointing final
term, the Stars must be buoyed by
their performance during the first
three quarters where they more
than matched it with the Division 2
premiership favourite.
Youngsters Jye Brennan and Jai Burns
looked in their element on the big
stage and both offered pace, skill and
excitement. Brennan capped off his
performance with a spectacular highflying mark that will be a contender for
mark of the season.
James Dau was inspiring at half back
and despite playing in noticeable pain,
was able to replicate the form which
saw him selected in the 2011 Coaches
Team of the Year.
What ultimately cost the Stars was its
lack of potency up forward, something
which proved surprising given the club’s
attacking prowess so far this season.
John Hayes and Patrick Davis had
booted 42 goals heading into the game
but could only combine for three, with
Epping’s big men having far greater
impact down the other end of the
ground.
Prior to the loss, the Stars had been the
form team of the competition, winning
its opening five games of the season by
an average of 43 points.
The competition’s most prolific scorer
thus far, the Stars’ rapid improvement
has been one of the highlights of the
season and a win today would put the
club one big stride closer to an elusive
finals birth.
Past results between the two sides have
certainly favoured Diamond Creek with
the Demons winning four of the past
five clashes between the sides – three of
those wins coming by 40 points of more.
However the Stars were victorious in
the most recent clash between the pair,
upsetting the more fancied Creekers by
nine points in Round 17 last year.

The Panthers have been the biggest
improvers in Division 1 over the opening
third of the season and today travel to
War Memorial Park, a ground it has had
little success at over the past 30 years, to
take on sixth-placed Greensborough.
It’s a massive clash for both teams, with
the Boro slipping to sixth place on the
ladder as a result of last week’s 38-point
defeat at Montmorency.
After winning their opening three
games of the season, the Boro have
lost their past three and are outside
the top five for the first time since the
conclusion of the 2010 season.
Bundoora will be looking to stretch
its lead at the top of the table when it
takes on seventh-placed Northcote Park
at Bill Lawry Oval.
Last week the Bulls held off a gallant
Heidelberg outfit to win last year’s Grand
Final replay by 10 points – the same
margin it won by in the 2011 premiership
decider. Matthew Dennis continued his
dominant start to the 2012 and was best
afield in the victory at Yulong Reserve.
Northcote Park must produce an upset
win as it battles to stay in touch with the
top five after an inconsistent start to the
season. The Cougars have 10 points from
the opening six weeks, however, their
only two wins have come against sides
placed eighth and tenth in Division 1.
West Preston-Lakeside and Heidelberg
meet for the first time since last season’s
preliminary final when they do battle at
J.E. Moore Park.
It’s been hard to get a read on the Roosters
so far this year, with the side yet to win or
lose consecutive games in 2012. Last week
they produced a solid performance when
they defeated Northcote Park by 21 points
away from home.
Simon Close was the star in the win, booting
six of his side’s 14 goals, while Andrew Luzza
played a fine game against his former club.
Heidelberg’s terrible run of injuries
continued when Adam Jackson and Adam
Symes both went down in the opening
quarter of last weekend’s loss to Bundoora.
But despite having heavily restricted
interchange rotations, the Tigers refused
to surrender and managed to outscore
the reigning premier over the final three
quarters of the game after conceding
the first four goals of the day.
Lower Plenty has its hands full when
it takes on next-door neighbour
Montmorency on its home paddock.
The Bears coughed up a golden
opportunity to win their first game
of the season last week and now sit
anchored to the bottom of the ladder.
Leading Macleod by 16 points at the
final change, the Bears were outscored
6.8 to 0.3 in the fourth quarter to
surrender to a 25-point loss.
Montmorency on the other hand
continued its rich vein of form and
notched up a fourth successive win
when it beat the Boro at home.
Ryan and Luke Jackson were again best
in the victory, while Patrick Fitzgerald
staked his claim as Montmorency’s best
forward with another bag of five goals.
Meanwhile, Whittlesea hosts Macleod
with both sides desperate to secure
their second win of the season to keep
their slim finals chances alive.
After two impressive performances
against Montmorency and West
Preston-Lakeside, Whittlesea took a step
backward at Eltham Central Reserve last
week when it was soundly beaten.
The Eagles led at quarter time, but could
manage just seven goals to Eltham’s 16
over the next three quarters so slump to
their biggest away loss of the year.
Macleod will hope to replicate last
week’s final quarter onslaught over four
quarters today, with the Kangaroos a
genuine chance of winning their second
consecutive game.
John Andrew was again fantastic and
now leads the Coaches Player of the Year
award by three votes, while Matt Walter
was dominant in the ruck. Importantly,
Cathal Corr and Justin White worked their
way into form and should be prominent
figures in today’s encounter.

DIVISION 1
NORTHCOTE PARK
An excellent first quarter saw scores
almost even going into the second,
however a clinical performance and
excellent efficiency from West Preston
in the third quarter saw them take an
insurmountable lead into the last.
SENIORS
Benny McNiece was exceptional
once again, along with Narby Kelly
and Damian Galofaro. Bronik Davies
was workman-like again, running his
hardest to contain West Preston but
it wasn’t enough to gain back control
for Northcote. Doug Morris, in his first
game for the club was fantastic. His
presence and disposals at stoppages
was second to none. We hope to see
him in the Cougars strip plenty of times
this season. The boys will see this as
a missed opportunity to set a good
foundation for their season. The final
score NPFC 10.7.67 to WPLFC14.5.89
Assuming they are selected or injury
free both Steve Hiho and Nick Carter will
celebrate senior milestones this week
for the NPFC seniors. Steve plays his
100th match while Carts chalks up 50.
Great work fellas, keep ‘em coming!
RESERVES
In another close finish this week, the
BUNDOORA
A scrappy, tight and close game
against Heidelberg and in the end we
were probably lucky to hang on as
they were finishing fast.
SENIORS
Our better players were clearly Hydey
and he was ably supported by Matty
Dennis and Michael Mitchell.
RESERVES
Our most powerful display for the year
and building some nice momentum
as we head towards the long weekend
break. Dal was outstanding and a clear
BOG and was backed up well by Simon
Brekke and Robbie Graham.

reserves couldn’t hold on to a nine-point
lead heading into the final quarter, with
West Preston taking the lead in the final
minutes of play. It was a heartbreaking
loss for the boys, which saw them drop
to third on the ladder. Justin Chilcott
was exceptional kicking three in a best
on ground performance, along with
Daniel Ledda and Michael Neldrett. The
boys would be disappointed not to take
the points as they take on secondplaced Bundoora this week. The final
score NPFC 12.12. 84 to WPLFC 11.18.90
UNDER-19
The under-19s continued their domination
of the league with a stunning 113-point
victory over West Preston-Lakeside. Kane
Slater slotted six, Billy Abou-Eid had two with
10 other solo goal kickers. Joel ‘Dominator’
Donaldson was clinical and fortified his
chances for senior selection. Jordy O’Brien
and Benjamin Abbatangello also remained
composed as the boys took the points to
take top place on the ladder. The final score

Saturday, June 2 vs Eltham at Yulong
Reserve. All interested wives, girlfriends,
sisters and mothers need to speak to
either Leanne Grant, Caroline Marshall or
Bronwyn Graham to secure a table for what
is always a ripping afternoon and night.
NOWHERE TO HYDE
This week’s edition of Bull Bits focuses
on the ugliest man ever to wear the
Bundoora Jumper, the Shrek himself,
Matthew Hyde! Considering there has
been some very ugly heads walk into
Yulong Reserve (Anthony Muleta, Sausage
Lips Pascoe, Steve Vernon and of course,
the Contessas) this is a feat that Hydey
himself should be very proud of.
The swaying factor for the Bundoora
half back being crowned Bundoora’s
Fugliest was the rapid rate of his
receding hairline which now has him
looking like Krusty the Klown. His
receding hairline has surpassed the
previous leader in this category, “Fat
Daks” Harrison.
Fun facts that you didn’t know about Hydey:
– He once coined the phrase “I miss you
like a fat kid misses cake” when his
long time suffering girlfriend Emily
went overseas for a month.
– He cried this year when demoted to
deputy vice captain from vice captain.
– He has a photo of his cousin Clint
McKay as his wallpaper on his phone
(and sings to it when lonely)
– He is the long lost identical twin to
Grand Slam winning tennis champion
Kim Clijsters
– He also cried and begged for
forgiveness on his front lawn when he
arrived home to find his bags packed at
the front door after a row the previous
evening with his lovely girlfriend.

DIVISION 1
HEIDELBERG
Last week we were at the Bull Pen
which I must say is in as good a
condition as I’ve seen it for the three
games. For the second week in a row we
didn’t secure any points and added to
our already extensive injury list.
SENIORS
Fifteen minutes into the game we were
two key position men down and 4 goals to
none coming off a shocker the week before.
Things didn’t look too good at that stage,
but to our credit and in the tradition of a
Heidelberg vs Bundoora clash, the rest of the
game was a hard fought affair where they
couldn’t shake us off and we just couldn’t
bridge the gap. At the last change we were
13 points down and kicking down the hill I
thought we were a chance, but we kicked
4.6 from about 10 set shots and ended up
getting beaten by 10 points. Although we
didn’t get the points (and it was good to see
the players filthy about) there were plenty of
positives that were all outlined in the rooms
after the game so we should push on with
a fair bit of confidence. As I said we had two
significant injuries earlier in the game with
Jacko copping one then the one to Symesy
being a lot worse than first thought. We all
14
THE NORTHERNER
elevated left Matty a bit undermanned
and frustrated at the short notice of
some of it. All that aside, the boys had a
crack and fought it out to the end. There’s
nothing wrong with the spirit here it’s just
all these outside issues that seem to be
working against us at the moment and
hopefully things will swing our way and
some better results will come our way.
Better Players- Josh Lloyd, Benny
Rawson, Ben Kennan, Jimmy, Zac, and
Jack Ridewood
After we all go into to the rooms for
an after match refreshment everyone
is invited back to the Olympic Hotel as
guests of former club champ and sponsor
Craig Shearer to wind up what we all
hope is a successful day on the field.
NETBALL
The girls got back on the winners’ list in a
thriller over Mernda. Well done to all involved.
LADIES LUNCH
Saturday, 11 August. Details to follow.
TODAY
We’re on the road again and its over to
the chook pen to take on the Roosters
who are coming off a good win. We’ll
all need to play well to get back on the
winners’ list.

wish The Duke a speedy recovery and well
done to Heather and the training staff for
the way they handled it.
Better players in a great team effort –
Danny, Bruiser, Loges, Fabian, Irish and Jess.
RESERVES
17.17 to 5.2 – well there’s a positive right
there. Great kicking by our boys and the
Bulls should be ashamed of themselves,
succumbing to the intense pressure in
front of goal to register 17 minus scores
from 34 shots. We haven’t had 34 shots
this year but if we did we would have
kicked more goals than that. I don’t know
if it was Sutts being back in the side, he
is very good at putting them off while on
the mark and at the other end our goal
tally was up 500 % on the previous week
so things have really turned the corner.
Leep up the good work fellas.
Better players – M. Kinsella, Stefan, Ash,
Matty Hume, Matty Sutts and Harro.
UNDER-19
As previously reported this is a very
frustrating part of the club for several
reasons and last week chucked up more
frustration with the Knights running a
seminar on a bye weekend that required
players to attend and thus being
unavailable to us. School footy cost
us more good players and D.K. being

Simon Close got the money in the Best
Player tickets with six goals, just pipping
Daniel Bisetto who is having a good year
across half back. Mitch Tobin made his
senior debut, the fifth player from last
year’s under-17s to play senior football
this season. We tried a new way to keep
Garrett away from stealing footballs by
playing him in the twos but that didn’t
stop him having the footy all day. Jedd
was on fire with three goals and Stoikos
stepped up from the under-19s to kick the
winning goal. The under-19s played two
good quarters again but failed to hold the
opposition back for the first and last.

This week we’ve got the Tigers at home

DIVISION 1
LOWER PLENTY
Our Cubs got away to a pretty solid
start in the first quarter.
CUBS
Weren’t able to capitalise in the end and
Macleod simply played their ground
better. The Cubs are still playing some
good footy at the moment and seem to
have made the transition to Divvy 1 very
well. While Patto and Man Crush continue
their run in the ones it’s up to a few blokes
to step up in these tight games. Maybe
then these close ones will start to go our
way. Trenta and Patty were good again
as were Emmo and Cooky. But BOG for
mine has to go to that man GRIFENDOOR.
Nothing got past this iconic cult figure and
he played a blinder.
MAGOOS
As the clouds cleared the twos hit the
ground running and smashed Macleod
in every aspect early to lead by five goals
at quarter time. Dominated the second
just as much and should have put the
game out of reach of Macleod but poor
kicking in front of goal meant they had
a sniff at half time. Sleyta dished out a
spray at the break, mainly targeting the
forwards for closing their eyes during set
shots. Didn’t play our best footy in the
MONTMORENCY
It took a while to shake the Slime,
and to their credit they kept
bouncing back until we blew them
away in the last quarter.
SENIORS
It was a ripping win by our boys and
despite a tough game, we never looked
like losing to Coley’s Slime. Doita
kicked another bag and might be our
key forward now instead of Petts or
Limbach! The Jackson boys dominated
again as did Sammy O. Brooker and
Bomber had the ball on a string and it
was good to see the boys get stuck into
a former Monty boy, as did the crowd.
Big game this week against Lower next
door. Maybe let them know this is our
neighbourhood. This is not a time to
take games easy, we need to continue
this good form every week.
MAIN GAME
Pretty ordinary performance. Only Pep
and Huss could hold their heads up
high. Not many positives to come out
of it, only that we can’t play any worse

THE NORTHERNER
third and let a handy lead slip to only a
few goals by the last break but played
some good defensive footy in the last
to get the bickies by three goals. Soxy
dominated with five jags and gave off
just as many. The Greeks were good
again, Disco tapped his way into the best
and Larry Bird lead an impressive back
line that rarely gets beaten.
ONES
One that we would have pencilled in
early doors and it went to script for the
first three quarters. We did enough to
hold a break on them for most of the
day in a fairly physical encounter and
it was always going to come down to
who wanted it the most in the last.
Gaz put it on them and the boys just
couldn’t deliver in the last. They simply
wanted it more and embarrassed us
in the last, playing the sort of footy we
could only wish for. With what limited
opportunities we had going forward
we butchered it and let them break
out from defensive and score on the
rebound. Ricky returned and was one
of only a few that stuck it out in the last
while Jacko had another good one. Clint
and Ducky were also good while Billy
and Patto collected three majors each.
To say it was the one that got away is
understatement. Let’s really take it up to
our old foes in Mont today and rectify
last week’s effort.

than we did. It was our first loss since
Round 18 last year and it was an ordinary
one. It’s a long way from the win over
Heidelberg last week. We have a chance
to redeem ourselves this week and show

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
As we are now in a world of transparency and
full disclosure I believe the supporters and
members need to know the truth. In the past,
three successive losses would mean bring
your mouthguard and runners to training on
Tuesday. In the current world this is no longer
ELTHAM
Twelve club premiership points again
last Saturday against Whittlesea, with
the win in the seniors moving the side
to outright third on the ladder.
UNDER-19
A fairly even first half, but after getting
out to a six goal lead at three quarter
time, again fell in a hole in the last
quarter, and managed to scrape in by
just two points. They are making a habit
of dropping away in the latter part of
games. Fitness? Complacency? Maybe
a bit of both? The under-19 Division 2
side hadd a bye last week and is back in
action at Central this morning.
SECONDS
The question is when were the reserves
last sitting on top of the ladder? It was back
after Round 1, 2004 when they had an easy
win against newly-promoted Hurstbridge.
With Mont losing against Greensborough,
the boys find themselves on top after
Saturday’s win over the Eagles. Over nine
goals up at half time, they were able to kick
10 goals in both the last two quarters to
end up 172 point winners.

THE NORTHERNER
acceptable in case someone gets hurt so we
had a team meeting on Tuesday to look for
ways to improve. Imagine my surprise when
coach Cole asked for suggestions on how we
can improve our performance on the field
and Dane Robertson requested we create a
Glee Club to improve moral. The suggestion
was seconded by Alex Rintoul and thirded by
boy band wannabe Brent Ryan. Jack is and
experienced campaigner and I thought no
way would he cop such nonsense. Instead he
arranged for blind auditions to be conducted
on Thursday. While the other teams slogged
it out on Thursday running and kicking, the
mighty Boro held singing auditions. Coach
Cole took over the role of Keith Urban, Aron
Burns was Joel Madden, Leigh Millsom
was Delta Goodrem, and the fear of racial
repercussions and on advisement from my
legal team, I can not name the person who
played Seal. The first audition saw Matt
Crawford do a magnificent medley of Bruno
Mars songs, Jamie Craker “the Knockout King”
sang a lullaby, then Bondy did a rendition of
Pink that had to be seen to be believed. At this
stage I could take no more and screamed at
the players that we need total commitment
to make finals. Tim Bongetti, the club captain,
responded on behalf of the group and said
first lets make regionals then worry about
finals. The previous story is fictional and does
not depict any actual; person or event.
FIRSTS
Thought to be a bit of a danger game,
after recent good form by Whittlesea
A bit of a stalemate until the boys
started showing signs midway through
the second quarter that they could be
on their way to victory. Led by 17 points
at half time and then after the break
kicked 11 goals to Whittlesea’s six to end
up 56-point winners.
THIS WEEK
We journey to Greensborough where we
have only posted the one victory over the
past 30 odd years. It’s been a real hoodoo
ground for us. A win today will go a long
way to cementing a place in the five.

NETBALL
Last Friday, Team B played a great game
against Epping. It was great to see all players
put in 100 % and defend really strongly, as
well as going for the intercepts. In attack we
played well with everyone making leads
and trying to stay in front of their
players. It’s nice to know we have flexibility
throughout the team, with players that can
play in multiple positions. Although we
went down by three goals it was a great
game. Allisha Pike “Pikey”

WHITTLESEA
The less said about the main game
the better.
SENIORS
We started well and lead by two goals early,
but the work rate and hard running of the
Panthers made us look second rate after
quarter time. We proved that we belong in
the top flight two weeks ago against West
Preston, and the sooner all senior players
start to believe that, the better we will be.
On a positive note, our lazy full forward
registered an incredible 15 possessions and
three goals in the last quarter – if he hasn’t
already mentioned this to you, give it time.
The highlight was Spider’s head wobbling.
The lowlight was Port knocking off North
Melbourne. Better players were Hormo, Sco
Mac, Max and Twig.
RESERVES
The boys continue to front up and show
plenty of heart against the odds. Terrific to see
young Thady (the cleaning lady) amongst the
better players, not so terrific to lose two of our
better players to set penalties for a fortnight.
Having two Eagles sent off really hurt our
MACLEOD
The sighs of relief could be heard all
around De Winton Park after we came
from four goals down to win by four
goals over a determined Lower Plenty.
LAST WEEK
After an ordinary first half, the boys dug
deep, particularly in the final term when
we forced Lower into a few defensive errors
and got the ball deep and dangerous into
our attack. The motivational talk from Denis
Pagan during the week worked wonders
as did his theory about where the good
AFL teams score their goals. Great to see
everyone back in the rooms (and thanks to
the big Lower contingent) after the game
and the players and coaches certainly
enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Megs and
Nic from the netball team for running the
bar and getting a few tired and emotional
people home! Simmo took a late night
call from his digs in Brazil and reckons he
could understand the locals better than
some of us. Matty Walter was a standout in
the ruck, Woody and Scooter ran the ball
brilliantly and Cathal showed why he is a
powerhouse in that last quarter. Hammer
was the only injury after suffering writer’s
cramp signing copies of his full-page photo
in The Northerner. The twos gave up an
early lead, fought their way back only to
let it slip in the final quarter. Billy Damevski

THE NORTHERNER
rotations and things went from bad to worse
afterwards. The highlight was Lachy’s shiner.
The lowlight was the last quarter. Better
players were Glenny, Hobba and Homer.
UNDER 19
This season’s pattern continued for the
under-19s. They didn’t turn up until threequarter time and then came home like a
freight train thanks to some Cecil brilliance
and a freaky goal from that Lakyn bloke from
The Voice. The under-19s didn’t deserve to
win, but let’s hope that last quarter effort
results in some self belief. The highlight
was the character shown in the last quarter
fightback (tied with the half time spray from
Cabbage). The lowlight was the ongoing
laziness of the players...and Schotty’s hair. But
more so Schotty’s hair. Better players were
Lashy, Menzies and Chook.

Forester ran his heart out. The under-19s
pulled off a great win playing disciplined
footy in tough conditions. Aaron White,
Matty Yarwood and Trent West were among
the better players.

backmen, whose popularity amongst
opposition clubs is unrivalled, was
pooped after a big day and paid a pretty
hefty price for his nap. It’d be a real
bummer if you don’t know what we’re
talking about, so add “Tolly Jnr” as a
friend on the book now.
THE MISSING LINK
We won’t dob anyone in, but one of the
leadership group members from the
under-19s, who has played every game
in the seniors so far, believes he has the
solution to fixing all the problems being
faced in the early game.
“You need me” quote/unquote.
CONGRATULATIONS
To big Spider who has finally popped the
question to his lovely partner Sarah. There
was a Facebook hoax running earlier in the
year regarding this, but we can assure you
that this time it’s the real thing!

Both sides had good wins last Friday at RMIT.
The A team were too slick for Mont finishing
53-27 winners. The B team led from start to
finish to record a 36-20 win over St Marys.
The wins leave both sides near the top of the
table with some big games coming up.
CONGRATULATIONS

his partner Emily, on the news they are

DIVISION 2
HURSTBRIDGE
Last week we headed over to
Thomastown for what was a must win
game. With a few ins and as a result
some added depth to the reserves we
felt confident we could take home a
couple of wins.
SENIORS
The boys came out of the blocks
strongly, banging on the first few goals
to take handy lead at quarter time.
That’s as good as it got. In the next three
quarters although we managed to hold
the lead in each we relinquished it just
as easily. The game was there to be won
but the opportunity was never seized. It
was a disappointing day. All of our senior
personnel need to draw breath and take
stock. It is time to wipe the slate and
start fresh with a new focus. Let’s get this
season back on track with an unrelenting
effort on and off the track.
RESERVES
More of the same and all the more
disappointing after a good win last week.
Winnable game went begging with
undisciplined acts creeping in. See above.
EPPING
It couldn’t have been scripted better,
with the seniors still undefeated in
2012 and sitting a game clear atop
the ladder.
THE CLUB
Not as good news for the reserves,
going down in a close one, but still a
chance to finish top two this year. Let’s
get back to winning ways in the reserves
and have both sides take home the four
points today. All the best boys.
SPONSOR
An institution in Epping and long time
sponsor, Chow Garden is the place to
go for a fantastic Chinese meal. Go
and visit Patrick and the crew for a sit
down banquet or give them a call on to
pick up some takeaway. Always a great
meal either way at Chow Garden: 68
Coulstock St, Epping. Ph: 9401 3311
SENIORS
Another good win last week over
quality opposition,and now holding a
6-0 lead for the season. Once more a
great team effort, and this was shown
on the scoreboard with 12 individual
goal kickers for the day. Impressive
games once again by Moorey and Matty

THE NORTHERNER
UNDER-19
A couple of weeks back our club hosted
a “Look After Your Mates” forum after
training in conjunction with the local
police. The focus of the evening was to
get across the real dangers associated
with young men and cars. Little did any
of us realise how starkly and tragically
that message would be reinforced so
soon after. Our under 19s captain’s
younger brother, Dylan, was tragically
killed in a vehicle accident on Friday
night last and our deepest sympathies
are with Bowen, his family and all those
affected by Dylan’s passing. The club
has been deeply affected and hopefully
if any good can come from this terrible
loss it will be that Dylan will be a
constant reminder to us all of the ever
present danger associated with young
men and cars.
We must thank Thomastown’s
committee and under-19s for their cooperation, understanding and absolute
respect on Saturday.
NETBALL
The netball girls had a big win on Friday
night against Lalor, 40-1. Go Bridgettes!
Best players were Bec, Tamika and Lara.
Garland, the latter kicking four majors
to lead the goal kickers. Another great
defensive effort down back, dousing
a potent opposition forward line who
have almost 700 points in the for
column, with Brenna playing one of his
best this year but supported well by
Haynesy, Santo working his way each
week and the rest of the boys down
back. Willo marked everything that
came to him and was a firm target up
forward, being well supplied by Bulldog,
Les Adams and Matty Dornauf. Keep
the ball rolling this week boys for a win
against Hurstbridge and take it to 7-0.
RESERVES
Always disappointing to lose, especially
when we had plenty of opportunities
to win. Great to have Truk back and
straight into form, with plenty of
support around him down back from
Matty Franklin, Justin T, Rowds and Fab
in a backline that has had more good
quarters than bad this year. Great effort
all day from Cam Brown who ran and
ran, with equally good work from Jarrod
Agosta, Huss and Kyle Turnbull – who
didn’t get a spell out of the middle for
the whole four quarters. Anth Guida
had a day out kicking five majors, but

DIAMOND CREEK
Everybody knew the importance of
this result against the fourth-placed
Doggies, and knew than only a four
quarter effort of consistent football
would win the day.
SENIORS
Unfortunately, we just didn’t deliver.
Three quarters of football is not good
enough against a side as strong as
North Heidelberg. In the end we fell to
a 15-point loss with Michael Robinson,
Graeme Brown and Brett Godfrey our
best players on the day. We all send
our best to Jai Norman on a quick
recovery from injury. We must bounce
back quickly today against the Fitzroy
Stars and get our fifth win of the
season on the board.
RESERVES
It was never going to be an easy
task taking on the North Heidelberg
boys who have been playing good
footy and sit on top of the ladder,
undefeated so far this season. In
good conditions it turned out to be
a great game with both sides going
FITZROY STARS
Our boys were able to add another
good win last week over quality
opposition in Epping.
RESERVES
The game was tight all day with only a
goal or two between the two teams who
were fighting hard to gain the upper hand.
The game started in slippery condition
and was a bit of a scrappy affair in the first
quarter. The second quarter saw the game
kick up a notch with Jordy, Ethan and
Dalton taking control of the middle and at
half time seen our boys were down by just
two points. In the third term both teams
came out and traded goals, with Epping
kicking a wasteful 3.6 to our 3.3. The final
quarter saw our boys come to life kicking
5.1 to Epping’s 3.2 (including a beauty
from Dalton on the boundary) to record a
gutsy six-point win. Better players on the
day were Dalton, Ethan, Jordy, Coops, Jas
Mac and Jason Kanoa. Well done boys!
NETBALL
What a good night for our netballers with
both teams winning in convincing style. Our A
grade girls played the Eagles from Whittlesea
winning 35 to 10 and moved to third on the
ladder. Keep up the good work girls.
24
THE NORTHERNER
hard and not much in it all day. North
started the last quarter well and
kicked two quick goals. These goals
proved decisive as at the final siren
we were just 14 points down. To all
the Creek boys who played, hold your
heads up high, it was a fantastic team
effort. Well done to North for the
sportsmanship you displayed after the
game. It really was appreciated by all
at our club. Thank you again!
UNDER-19
A tough day for all who played in the
under-19s game against Reservoir
last Saturday, a game where our
numbers were well down again. Many
thanks to the four players who filled
in and helped us get over the line by
three goals. The best players were
Watto, Levi and Dipper. With numbers
expected back soon players will need
to be mindful of the requirements
expected to ensure your place in the
side is retained. Make sure you’re at
training and doing everything to put
your hand up for selection
SOCIAL SCENE
The long awaited “Mr Diamo” night is
fast approaching. Tickets are now on
sale for what has been heralded as the
“Social Event of the Year”. Get in quick
to avoid disappointment. Thanks to the
girls who organised our “Ladies Day” a
very good day was had by all.
WEBSITE
Don’t forget our new website: www.
diamondcreekfc.com.au
Our B grade girls had a good win too,
beating Epping 34 to 14. The win moved
them to fourth on the ladder so keep
up the good work ladies. It was good
to see so many of the boys down there
supporting the girls. Well done lads!
SENIORS
As both teams were undefeated, this
was the match of the round and all eyes
were watching keenly to see who would
walk away with the four points and top
position on the ladder. Epping was up
and about early and kicked the first
two goals of the game before the Stars
settled and were able to add two goals
of their own to have the scores tied up at
quarter time. The second quarter started
the same as the first, with Epping again
hitting the scoreboard early on to lead
by 14 points before the Stars clicked into
gear and kicked the next four goals. The
momentum then swung back Epping’s
way as the Blues kicked another three
goals to head into the main break nine
points up. The third quarter was an arm
wrestle as both sides traded goals, kicking
four apiece (including a long bomb from
Joshy Wang and a great snap from Alboy)
as Epping went in at the last break with a
six-point lead. This is where it got ugly as
Epping ran riot and did as it pleased in the
last, with a lot of the Stars players going
missing. While it wasn’t the result we were
after, we now know where we are at as a
side and where we need to get to ensure
we don’t let the opposition run away like
that again. The positive is that we get to
see what we learned from that match
and take it into this week’s game against
another quality side in Diamond Creek,
where only a four quarter effort will get
us back on track. Better players for the day
include Alboy, Jye and Jai. Special mention
to the high flyers Lelly and Jye Brennan on
their great grabs.
TOOL OF THE WEEK
It would have to be a significant event to
knock Alex Kerr off his perch this week
for getting locked up in an immigration
detention centre and barred from all
Third World countries for a yea,r but
that’s exactly what Shacks has done. Bad
luck Alex but anyone who is cleaned up,
knocked out and stretchered off by an
umpire almost deserves the Brownlow.
Well done BIG fella!!!

LALOR
Another lacklustre display early
against South Morang, but we will
take the four points.
Bombastic Blood
It seems we have to get behind before
we display any urgency to win the game.
We will have no chance against the top
four teams if we don’t play four quarters
of football. If we are to give ourselves a
chance at finals we must beat the sides
around us more comfortably. The boys
trailed by 14 points early in the third
quarter, but kicked 14 of the last 17 goals
of the game to come away with a 49-point
win. Shep kicked a bag of 10 to shoot
to the top of the goal kicking table. He
kicked four in the last quarter on Saturday,
making it nine goals in the last quarters
over the past two weeks.
RESERVES
The reserves are really battling badly
at the moment. Hopefully the can
THOMASTOWN
George summed it up best when he
said that, for all but 10 minutes against
Hurtbridge, we controlled the game.
- BLUEBOY
SENIORS
As such, we secured the win that was
so richly deserved. It is important, now,
to make that the standard we need to
achieve for the rest of the year. Winning
is much better than losing and hopefully
it is the kick start we need heading into
the local derby against Lalor.
RESERVES
Last week against Hurstbridge was
nowhere near where we wanted to play
but we were eventually able to grind
out a narrow win against a determined
outfit. This week we face another stern
test in Lalor and nothing short of a four
quarter performance will get the job
done. Remember one thing – actions
speak louder than words. Let our actions
this week do the talking!!
UNDER-19
Last week’s game against Hurstbridge
was forfeited owing to a personal
tragedy with one of the Hurstbridge
players. On behalf of the Thomastown

THE NORTHERNER
turn things around quickly. At the
weekend we went down to the Lions
by 32 points, our sixth straight loss
leaving us now two games adrift at the
bottom of the table.
UNDER-19
The under-19s are being competitive
for most parts of the game and
when they produce four quarters
will be capable of beating anyone. A
25-point loss to South Morang wasn’t
a terrible result, but the boys are
certainly capable of producing better
performances.
AROUND THE TRAPS
Who was the vice president who
forgot his members card and had
to pay to get in at Hurstbridge? The
double agent was back on Saturday,
teaching everyone how to handball.
And who was the bear so rugged up
last Saturday, he must have been a
polar bear. If you want to evacuate
the rooms just read out the teams on
Thursday night. The quickest mass
our condolences to Hurtsbridge and the
family involved.
NETBALL
Mixed results last week with the A team
convincing winners, whilst the B team
were narrow losers. Great effort none
the less girls!! Games tip off from about
7pm onwards so get down to RMIT on a

– The coffee machine saga just won’t
go away. Rumours are rife that John
Spena has been fraudulent in advising
how much he has contributed to the
actual machine. Word is that he didn’t
organise the machine itself, the coffee
that goes in it or the setting up of the
machine. That just leaves the $1 per

exodus you will ever see. Our best
wishes to Kingy and we wish you a
speedy recovery, especially Mocca as
he is sick of his missus waiting hand
and foot on you.
TODAY
We welcome our neighbour
Thomastown today to play for the
Paul Broderick trophy. At the moment
Thomo hold it after beating us at
home last year. With a couple of wins
under our belt and playing at home
the incentive is to win that trophy
back. A win today will be our third in
succession and puts us back within
touching distance of the top four and a
chance to play finals in 2012.
– Apologies must go out to Micko’s
dad in relation to last week’s Poker
Night. Micko’s dad actually split the
pot with Chaddy’s dad in the battle of
the fathers. I had wrongfully given the
win to Chaddy’s dad outright. So well
done Mr. Collier on sharing the spoils
and special mention to Micko for
reminding the editor of his mistake!!
– Well done, also, to Jimmy Fab. Jimmy
becomes the first ever player to
come off the ground with hamstring
cramps.
– Last but not least, special mention
to Sammy Italiano. As if a bruising
encounter against Hurstbridge wasn’t
enough, he then had to endure the
full force of a nasty fall at home. I
won’t go into details, but it involved
lying down, ice and his lovely wife
falling on top of him. Um, just
what was going on at the Italiano
household??? Maybe a re-enactment
of Sammy’s favourite TV show…..
come on down Sammy!!

NORTH HEIDELBERG
North Heidelberg FC has lost one of its
true legends with the passing of Peter
‘Dolph’ Adams on Tuesday morning
after a short battle with illness.
Dolph was one of the most colourful and
staunchest supporters of the club for over
40 years, a one of a kind that can never
be replaced. To me Dolph represented
everything that is great about our football
club. He was there through thick and thin
and he loved the club more than anything
in the world. In return the footy club loved
him just as much. I don’t think there is
anyone in the club that never got a bake
off Dolph and it was always a pleasure to
be abused by one of the best. His passing
is going to leave a big hole but we will be
thinking of you Dolphus and at the end of
the year I hope Deano can hold the cup up
for you for one last time. R.I.P.
SECONDS
With Creek struggling the last few weeks
it looked like it would be a relatively easy
day for the top of the table magoos but
that certainly wasn’t the case. Slippery
conditions made it a level playing field and
it turned out to be a tough encounter. We
led for the majority of the day but Creek
SOUTH MORANG
With six changes to Macca’s side it was
going to take our best performance to
knock off a confident Lalor.
SENIORS
Having said that our depth is very good
so we were still confident of taking the
four points. It was a real arm wrestle up
until half time then after the break we
kicked the first four goals to open up a
14-point lead. As has happened in all of
our games we then went to sleep and
it cost us dearly. This problem needs
immediate attention which Macca
warned was on the cards after the
game. All positions were up for grabs as
every player well and truly knew that no
one was safe from an early start. A big
positive was the big unit Duane winning
the B.O.G. ticket in his first senior game
since last year’s Grand Final. Other
better players were Matty M, Johno,
Johnny K and Powy. Well done to Nath A
on his first senior game for the club.
RESERVES
Two in a row for Gazza’s side but the
victory was less than convincing.
28
THE NORTHERNER
wouldn’t lay down and fought it out to
the end. Ryan Souter continues his good
form and he is certainly knocking on the
door, while Coombsy and his nemesis Dale
got three apiece. Let’s not get ahead of
ourselves, keep playing good footy and try
and turn undefeated at the halfway mark.
FIRSTS
A crunch game for the seniors after
dropping home games against Stars
and Epping, this was one we had to win
to stay in touch with the top 2. Dean
Smith-Whiting and Sean Kelly joined
our growing list of casualties with Matty
Mahony and three-time club champion
and Frank Rosbrook medallist Shane
Harvey returning home from sunny
Queensland much to the delight of his
teammates and the Bulldog faithful. The
first quarter was a very even contest with
some bad kicking letting us down but the
positive was Deano finding some form and
marking everything. A second quarter blitz
saw us pile on six unanswered goals with
big Benny proving a handful up front and
the backline doing a great job led by Leigh
Bentley and Beefcake. At halftime it looked
all over but Creek came back hard in the
third quarter. Although we had plenty of
the ball our turnovers hurt us the other
way and we blew a five-goal buffer to
Playing a side without a victory is always
dangerous especially if you take them
lightly or you are a couple of per cent
off the boil. The lads just did enough
to claim the four points and with so
many missing out on a game nobody
can afford to take their spot for granted.
Bobcat was outstanding, Nath T
continued his good form in the backline,
while Tuch, Haggy, Meady and Loochy
were all were good contributors.
UNDER-19
Another great victory for Sedgy’s boys
against a quality opposition. It was one
of those eight points games where a
victory gave us some breathing space
over Lalor but a loss saw us fighting
over the same spot on the ladder. After
a bit of a spray at half time the boys
responded well in the second half to
run out with a hard fought 25-point
win. Sedge highlighted the fact that no
players really stood out and that it was a
very even team performance.

lead by eight-points at the final change. A
great last quarter performance by the boys,
including JB, Big Will, Brama, Mocha, Gilbs
and Harvs chipped in when he needed to.
Although it wasn’t our best performance
it was a win and the team slowly binds
together. With plenty of improvement left
in us we need to string some wins together
to put some pressure on the teams above
us come the second half of the year.
JARROD KING
Jarrod answered the call this year and
returned after a year away to help the club
when we needed him more than ever.
A great player and servant over many
years Jarrod will unfortunately miss the
remainder of the year with a foot injury
but he is very much a part of the spirit that
runs out with the boys every week, and
will remain an integral part of the group
for the remainder of the season. We wish
you a speedy recovery Slim!

2012 NFL Season – FIXTURE Lift Out
DIVISION 2 – Summary
They suffered their first loss of the
season last week but the Fitzroy Stars
don’t have long to lick their wounds
as they today venture to Coventry
Oval for an important clash with
Diamond Creek.
The Stars were right in the contest for
three quarters against the Blues before
being overpowered in the last and
suffering a 41 point – the final margin
not at all indicative of the tight contest
that both sides endured.
17-year-olds Jai Burns and Jye Brennan
were impressive in the top of the table
clash and both looked comfortable
against big-bodied opponents. Allan
Norris also rose to the challenge while
James Dau never gave in at half back.
With its playing list currently decimated
by injury, Diamond Creek looked
destined for a famous win when it
rallied from 29 points at half time to hit
the front early in the last quarter against
North Heidelberg.
But just as the unlikely win began to
look a real possibility, star ruckman Jai
Norman went down with a neck injury
and the Demons hopes of victory were
extinguished with his departure from
the field.
It means only percentage separates
Diamond Creek and the fourth-placed
Doggies and a loss today could undo
all the good work Diamond Creek has
produced in the opening five weeks of
the season.
After putting in a disappointing second
half effort at home to Lalor last week,
South Morang today travels to Shelley
Street Reserve to take on in-form North
Heidelberg.
The Lions hit the front early in the third
term before conceding 14 of the final 18
goals of the game to fall to a 51-point
loss to the Bloods.
South Morang had no answer for Peter
Shepherd who booted ten goals and
could again be exposed today if Ben
Naylon gets amongst the goals early.
North Heidelberg kept its top two
hopes alive with last week’s 15-point
win at Diamond Creek. The victory
came a week after the Doggies pushed
Epping to the line before succumbing
to a 10-point loss, two performances
which have again put the Doggies in
premiership contention.
Shane Harvey returned from Southport
for last week’s victory and kicked three
goals. The star midfielder’s stay with the
Bulldogs will be permanent – his inclusion
a massive boost for the club.
The Doggies will certainly head into this
game as favourites but South Morang
has played its best football against
tougher opposition this year and
will look to rebound after last week’s
disappointing fadeout against Lalor.
Peter Shepherd’s red hot form has
ignited the Bloods season and the
champion spearhead is causing
absolute havoc for opposition defences.
After missing the opening the opening
game of the season whilst overseas,
Shepherd has booted 32 goals in his five
games in 2012 – including 18 in Lalor’s
two wins over the past fortnight.
Today he and the Bloods return to Lalor
Reserve to take on a Thomastown side
fresh from its first win of the season
against Hurstbridge last weekend.
The Bloods will feel they owe
Thomastown one after the Bears
shocked them in Round 8 last season.
That loss, Lalor’s first of the season,
ultimately cost it a double chance in last
year’s finals season and the Bloods may
just use that result to spur themselves
on today.
Finally, Hurstbridge hosts Epping at
Ben Frilay Oval in a game that pits last
against first.
The Bridges missed a golden
opportunity to win their first game
of the season when they lost to
Thomastown last week and only the
most optimistic supporter will give
them a chance against the premiership
favourites.
The Blues flexed their muscles in the
final term last week with Daniel Moore
and Matthew Garland leading the way
against the Stars.
Luke Lirosi continues to offer dash and
silk through the midfield, while Aaron
Willitts will look to make the most of his
chances today after missing a number of
basic set shots in last week’s victory.

The season is now six weeks old and
it looks like the race for the top four is
now down to five sides.
After defeating Reservoir last weekend,
Panton Hill now sits atop the Division 3
table a game ahead of Mernda and the
Mustangs, with St Mary’s and Parkside
two games further back in fourth and
fifth place respectively.
Having won each of its opening five
games Panton Hill has established itself
as the team to beat in 2012. The Redbacks
are continually blowing away teams
with their power up forward and are the
highest scoring team after Round 6.
Joffa Byron’s remarkable form in the
forward 50m continued last week and
his five-goal haul extended his lead at
the top of the goalkicking table. He has
now booted 28 in his past four games
and will cause panic for the Parkside
coaching staff ahead of today’s clash at
Cracknell Reserve.
Daniel Pratt’s ruckwork has impressed
this season and with midfielders of the
ilk of Dean Haydock, Abe Williams and
Simon Amore working at his feet, it’s
understandable why the Redback forwards
are reaping the benefits this season.
With its back to the wall, Parkside must
today produce something special if it is
to stay in touch with the top four.
The Devils’ season has spluttered along
and their 2-3 performance after the
opening six rounds their worst start to
the season in a long time.
It has been comfortably beaten in all
its three games against top four teams
this year, with an average losing margin
of 46 points in its defeats to Mernda, St
Mary’s and Reservoir.
After facing the bye last week, Parkside
will hope the week off is the tonic it
needs to kick-start its 2012 season.
St Mary’s fought out a seven-goal win
at Watsonia last week and is now inside
the top four for just the second time this
season.
The Burras set up the win with a
dominant third term when they piled
on seven goals to extend a 17-point half
time lead into a 48-point margin at the
final break.
Myles Guldon was best in the 42-point
victory, the third consecutive week he has
been named in St Mary’s best players.
Matthew Patti regained his best form
and kicked three goals, while Josh
Doherty and Dillan Ronalds also chimed
in with three.
Today the fourth-placed Burras take on
a Heidelberg West team coming off two
absolute beltings at the hands of Panton
Hill and Mernda.
The Hawks have lost by 188 and 164
points over the past fortnight and are
suffering immensely with their best
six players all out injured – including
captain-coach Bennett Osborne.
They will hope to put in a better
showing today, but with St Mary’s in
good form of late and needing to win

1st Semi Final – August 25th
Preliminary Final – September 1st
to keep its spot in the top four, all signs
indicate today’s game could again get
ugly for Heidelberg West.
Reservoir and Mernda met in a clash for
second place, with both sitting on 4-1
heading into the encounter.
Both have lost only to unbeaten to
Panton Hill and look the two sides
to most capable of challenging the
Redbacks in September.
Last week Reservoir was unable to halt
the ladder leader at Crispe Park, and
while it was no means a disheartening
loss, Panton Hill was in control for much
of the game – eventually winning by
25-points.
With Jarrod Skinner kept in check,
Jason Dal Santo stood tall and was
the Mustangs’ best, ably supported by
Ben Mowlam and Cameron Rooney.
Up forward Kael Beaumont showed
promise and finished the match with
three goals.
As previously mentioned, Mernda
handed Heidelberg West a hiding,
booting ten goals in the first quarter
and seven in each of the three quarters
thereafter.
Cameron Curlis benefited most, kicking
seven, while Tim Anderson kicked five
and Tim Atkins four.
Today’s clash at Mernda Recreation
Reserve clearly poses a much tough
challenge and the game should go right
down to the wire.

ST MARY’S
Great effort last week boys, with three
wins on the day for the first time this year.
PLAYER SPONSORSHIPS
Here is this week’s most important news
– many players are still to sign up player
sponsorships for this year. Remember
boys and girls, it is COMPULSORY for all
players to have sponsors this year. Any
business, individual or family member
etc. can sponsor any of our footballers or
netball girls for $150. You get your name
up with a photo of that player advertised
in the rooms. Sign up now - you don’t
have to have a business. Other benefits
are also available upon application.
Remember all players get $50 refund
for each player sponsor they sign. It
ain’t that hard guys. Please contact
Paul Hopper on 0410 465 074 or any
committee person for further details.
NETBALL
The A side took on a very fast Macleod
outfit and for a while there we looked like
we could match them. But their accuracy
was telling and although our girls toiled
valiantly we went down 36 to 20. Keep
HEIDELBERG WEST
Today we travel to St Mary’s with all
three teams looking for improved
performances after losses to Mernda
last weekend.
SENIORS
Another week and another terrible start
for the boys as they were outscored 10
goals to one. After a massive spray from
Ozzie, the boys came out hard in the
second and held their own early but
a flurry of late goals saw the boys trail
by 100 points at the half. The second
half was much the same, with the boys
being very competitive in patches but
the lapses in concentration allowed
Mernda to string goals together. Standin skipper LJ worked hard all day, as did
Barker and Muir. A big week on the track
will have the boys looking for a much
improved effort against St Mary’s.
RESERVES
After last week’s draw, the magoos
were looking to continue their good
form, but started sluggishly. Once they
settled they started playing some good
footy and trailed by 17 points at quarter
36
THE NORTHERNER
plugging away ladies as we know a string
of wins are just around the corner for both
teams. The B side had a bye. Last night the
A and B teams hopefully got up against
Lalor and Epping respectively.
FOOTBALL
This week we take on our old friends
Heidelberg West at our second home
at Binnak Park. We always enjoy the
competition when we play each other
with many old acquaintances to be
renewed. Hopefully everyone can stick
around for a drink after the match. In the
ones, West will be looking to notch their
first win of the year so we have to be
on our guard from the first bounce. The
twos will also need to put their best foot
forward from the start with the brown
and gold sitting nicely in the four as well.
Our under-19s play their home game at
Whatmough Park and we hope that’s
not too confusing for everyone to follow
otherwise we might end up with a heap of
Hawk players turning up to kick the dew
off the ground against the Auskickers at
Binnak Park. Anyway we welcome West
unde-19s for the first time and wish them
best of luck today and for the remainder of
the season. Just like us three seasons ago,
time. Unfortunately the fellas fell asleep
in the second and allowed Mernda to
run all over them, kicking 5.7 to nil and
blowing the margin out to nine goals
at the half. After a huge rev up from
Webby, the boys came out with a better
attack at the ball and slowly started
to get themselves into the game, but
little lapses allowed Mernda to pinch
a couple in a row and extend its lead
to 70 pointss. The last quarter turned
into party time for Mernda as they ran
all over us kicking 11.2 to nil. Moon
battled hard all day across half back
and would be close to senior selection.
Wambeek and Sieber also played well.
Special mention to our Canadian recruit
Westhoff having his first run of the year.
UNDER-19
A much improved effort from the boys
this week. Shane has got the young
Hawks playing a good brand of footy
and they are slowly getting used to
playing together. Brae lead from the
front with three goals and was well
supported by Ryan and Ricky. A win is
just around the corner, so let’s make
sure we all get down to support the
future of the club.

DIVISION 3
PANTON HILL
A big test and the Hills started the slower
with Reservoir getting the first two goals.
SENIORS
But the Hills hit back with three goals to
head into the first break with the lead. The
second quarter was an even contest as the
ball flew from end to end in a high standard
game of football. The Hills held a half time
lead but were not having it all their way.
Throughout the third term the Redback
forwards worked their way on top as
Brendan O’Connor started taking his marks
and Joffa Byron got a couple of goals, but
unfortunately Will Box went off with a foot
injury, Zac Williams sustained a hamstring
strain and Daniel Keen injured his knee
leaving only one player on the bench for
most of second half. However, the Hills had
the upper hand on their opponent in the
third term and extended their lead out to
five goals at one stage but were cut back
to three goals at the last break. Panton Hill
broke the Mustangs spirit with the first goal
of the last quarter although goals went
both ways the final margin of 25 points was
assured. On the big Reservoir ground the
day belonged to the Panton Hill midfield
with Brett Thorn continuing his good form
in a best on ground performance, Benn
Parker picking up plenty of the ball in the
open spaces and youngster Josh Chapman
being very strong in the clinches. Jayson
PARKSIDE
We have had a 14 day break to ease
the heartache of losing the Johnny
Drak Cup in the Round 5 clash
against Reservoir.
The bye has given us a chance to regroup
and have a crack at the in form Panton Hill
today. Everyone at the club will be hoping
we can get off to a better start today after
our last game against Reservoir started
with the reserves extending their losing
streak to three years and five games.
Chrissy ‘Knuckles’ Bellingham was dragged
for fighting and proceeded to the bench
where he volleyed a water bottle into
the face of one of his team mates with
the bottle exploding on impact and
water going everywhere. There is strong
support for Chrissy to undergo some
sort of rehab for his anger issues and the
club has made enquiries to several of
the cities leading anger management
centres. Unfortunately his anger spilled
over to the online world we here abused
38
THE NORTHERNER
Darcey-Molloy and Nathan Brundell did
their jobs down back and Joffa Byron
picked up another five goals. A terrific
win to put the Hills a game clear on top
of the ladder ahead of today’s important
clash against Parkside to finish the start the
season with wins against all comers.
RESERVES
Bounced back last week with a great win
against last year’s grand finalists. After
some hard work on the training track
earlier in the week the supporters saw a
much improved team performance. In
the first half Panton Hill held a slender
lead and felt that they were in control
at half time but last week was going to
be different to the past with no second
half fade out. During the third quarter
Panton Hill gained the upper hand with
some quick ball movement and perfect
disposal which gave Dylan Collins every
opportunity up forward. Dylan finished
the game with six goals while Andrew
Schadendorff was stopping everything on
the last line of defence. Andrew Jackson
is starting to dominate in the ruck while
wingman Matthew Layt played his best
game for the year. The win was truly a
whole team performance with many
contributors including the captain Brett
“Swordsman” Aldred. Other key players
included John Ballock, and Tim Fry.
PRESIDENT’S LUNCH
Welcome to all for our Presidents Lunch at
his team mate, Frenchy over Facebook.
Le French couldn’t handle it and deleted
him from his friends list. There have been
many examples of Chris’s anger getting
the better of him this year, one of these
outbursts occurred a couple of weeks ago,
After running into fellow teammate and
Big Brother aspirant Nick out at Bridie O
Reilly’s, Chris went over to say hi, and after
getting back an unsatisfactory response
yelled aggressively “Do you know who I
am?” Apparently Nick didn’t realise what a
big deal Chris is down the club.
They say you’re only as good as your last
game and after Dallas had a Supercoach
score of -17 in his last outing he will be
hoping to turn his fortunes around today.
Brad Hockey hasn’t had a kick all year, but
his best mate and coach Pigsy still gives
him the three votes every week to try and
justify his high wage. Meanwhile other
premiership and long serving players of
the club have to fight over Daryl Gard’s
pasta every Thursday night after training.
It could be young Dave Egan’s last game

BACK TO THE HILL
The club’s Past Players and Supporters Day is
on Saturday, June 16 during the game against
Mernda. Please let anyone that has had
involvement in the club know to make this
a big day. Contact Eric or club committee for
more details. Drinks and food will be available
during a special marquee function on the day.

All the match reports, latest news,
and junior news are available on the
Redbacks’ website.
today as he is about to set off on a once
in a life time opportunity to drive the
circumference of Australia. Pigsy isn’t sure
what he is going to do about replacing
Dave but it looks like he has settled on
purchasing a $10 electric blanket from Aldi
to keep the bench warm for the seniors
when he finally takes off.
SOCIAL
Money needs to start coming in for
the footy trip. Snorta isn’t running
it this year so you can be sure that
the money spent wont end up in his
hip pocket. The Gold Coast has been
confirmed as the destination and after
good numbers last year and a belting
couple of days away to Coogee it
should be another cracking trip. Speak
to Junior for details. One man who
won’t be going on the footy trip is Jake
due to year 12 exams; unfortunately
he will have to wait for next year for a
decent chance at losing his virginity.

DIVISION 3
DIVISION 3
MERNDA
They were insipid, awful, horrible... oh
wait, wrong Demons I’m talking about!
SENIORS
Last week we played for the Les
Butterworth Trophy. Les was involved
with both Mernda and Heidelberg West,
and was a true champion of the League.
He sadly passed away a few weeks ago.
To win by 164 points against a side who
would have wanted to come out hungry
after their debacle against Panton Hill
last week is an excellent sign for the
direction the club is headed in. To be
4-1 with a healthy percentage sets us
up nicely for the run ahead. We kicked
10 goals in the opening term, no mean
feat no matter who the opposition is,
and kicked seven goals in the second,
third and last quarters. Cam Curlis by
himself defeated Melbourne, kicking
seven goals, and Tim Anderson chipped
in with five. Trav McCrae and Josh
Wuelfert were excellent but having said
that it was a brilliant team performance,
everyone played their role and nobody
was selfish.
RESERVOIR
Not a good day with three losses and
the opportunity lost for the seniors to
take top spot.
UNDER-19
The under-19s began well against
top four side Diamond Creek in wet
and slippery conditions. Despite the
strong start the boys lost the lead with
a poor third quarter. We fought on well
in the last quarter but a few missed
shots on goal didn’t help us sneak a
win. However, we did play well for
most of the game and the confidence
is growing. Best were the coach’s son
Reece, Davies, Hollaway and Cornford.
RESERVES
The reserves’ form has been very much
up and down throughout the season.
Pirro produced another good game,
Ralphy, Borchert and “I love a goal”
Cousins did their bit but we eventually
went down by 26 points.
SENIORS
Panton Hill got the jump and we had to
play catch up footy for the rest of the day.
I am sure the players will be disappointed
with their effort early. Best were Dal Santo
40
THE NORTHERNER
RESERVES
The reserves took some time to get into
gear but once they did they were pretty
hard to stop. 11 goals in the last quarter
is pretty impressive - it shows that the
boys will run out games this year. Chris
Deayton kicked five goals and Chris
Zabrieszach kicked four. The reserves
have now won five games in a row, all
by an average of 92 points. There are so
many blokes that are pushing for a spot
in the ones, and the ultra competitive
environment can only be good for the
club at the moment.
UNDER-19
As you would have read in last week’s
Murmurs I was confident that the 19s
would bounce back and they did just
that. A 62-point win was an excellent
result, with many players doing well
across the board. Jake Densley kicked
five goals, and was Mernda’s best, while
Sam Perkin played well. Overall, three
wins from three, the second time it has
been achieved this season.
iPOD SHUFFLE NIGHT
An excellent night for everyone who
attended. Obvious highlight was the
worm-off (not often do you see the
who had a big job with Keyes going down
early, Lefty and Corey.
PAST PLAYERS REUNION
Last week’s Past Players Reunion was a
huge success. It was great to see the six
1947 undefeated Premiership boys and
hear their stories. Yes they celebrated
their 65th anniversary! It was almost like
a family reunion with the three brothers
Alan, Jack and Fred Laurie in attendance
plus their sister Jessie who married the
club’s 1951 and 1952 coach John Synon.
Jack Davies told us how he rovered to
Harvey Stevens in 1947. The following year
Harvey went to Collingwood, then onto
Footscray and eventually played 125 VFL
games. Harvey played in the Footscray
1954 premiership and represented
Victoria. Former DVFL president Roy Ward
and his wife Yvonne also in attendance.
The 1972 seniors and undefeated
reserves premiers and the 1982 reserves
Premiership boys also celebrated hard. The
1947-1980 Honour Board was unfurled by
Harvey Stevens, Jack Davies, Fred Laurie
and Bob Chandler.
Entertainment in the rooms after the
game was provided by 14-year-old Joel
Quinn the son of Peter (1983 and 84
premiership player). Joel proved to be an
accomplished musician and singer. I am

like Ro did. Never mind Ro, I cheered
for you, I thought your worm was
excellent anyway), as was the passion
that was shown by those watching the
Richmond/Essendon game.
TODAY
Big game against Reservoir. Obviously
they would have been disappointed not
to knock off Panton Hill at home last
week and they will come out wanting
to get second spot on the ladder back
off us. Win and we are looking better
and better for that all important double
chance. Under-19s will be looking to
build on their win last week, while the
reserves will be gunning for six straight.

WHISTLE Whispers
It was the umpires at ZUMBA last
Monday at training, and boy was it an
ugly sight! I’m sure I heard a few hips
creaking from the back of the room.
Forner
NEWS
Hence why I declined the cup of concrete and decided to do some
“important Association work” and not take part.
We would like to extend our congratulations to Lucinda Lopes,
our esteemed assistant treasurer, who seems to be just gathering
awards left, right and centre these days. Lucinda was named
as the ‘All-Australian Umpire’ in the national under-18 female
championships last week in Adelaide. A top effort, Lucinda, and
all of us at the NUA commend your continued commitment to
umpiring. Can’t wait to see you running around the field in the
AFL and showing the boys how it’s done!!
If you’re feeling a little nostalgic, look no further than Lewis
McNiff on a Saturday. Sporting a haircut fresh out of 1976 – Lewis
is taking it to the next level by donning a pair of aviators whilst
standing in the goals. Perhaps we should recount some episodes
of ‘That 70’s Show’ on the NUA YouTube Channel?
Also, the general committee is taking shape. A huge thanks to
Shane Finn (bar manager), Peter Francis (property manager), Cam
McPherson (trip and reunion manager), Beau Tran (social media
officer) and Craig Wright (IT administrator) for joining our general
committee in 2012. This will be ratified at the next exec meeting;
we also still have one spot up for grabs as an executive assistant,
so if anyone’s interested, please see myself or one of the other
members of the executive at training.
You can now collect your training and warm-up tops following
training on a Wednesday night. See Josh or Ben at the pick-up
point, and be ready to quote your size. There are only limited
numbers, so first in; best dressed (pardon the pun).
SLIP-UPS
We often hear of players kicking the wrong way to start a quarter,
or umpires pointing the wrong way for a free kick; but how about
paying a 50 metre penalty – and running in the wrong direction?
That was exactly what Nathan Doorman was spotted doing last
weekend. Maybe a few more coffees before the game next time to
get your mind into gear?
It seems one umpire is looking to capitalise on The Wiggles’

retirement, as was pointed out by a first-year boundary umpire. We
all know that Peter Francis is passionate about junior umpiring, but
we weren’t quite aware that it extended to children’s entertainment!
Peter was observed to be sporting a very fashionable black skivvy
underneath his umpiring uniform, to which one of our lessexperienced members pointed out “It’s the sixth wiggle?”; which,
from all reports, Pete was less than impressed with.
SOCIAL
Thanks to all who attended the screening of the State of Origin on
Wednesday night at the rooms following training. A good night in
among the heaters was had by all.
We hope that the continued support remains for the Trivia Night,
booked in for Sunday, June 10 at the Garvey Oval Rooms.

RICHO’S RAMBLINGS
During a discussion about big John Daly’s performance in Australia
last year, in which he ran out of balls for his golf round, Richo
instantly blurted out “Well, what happens then? What do you do?”.
Steve Williams promptly replied “Well, he gets disqualified from
the tournament”. Richo was less than pleased with this response,
claiming that it wasn’t what he was talking about;
“I mean, like, would you have a shower, or...?”The rooms were in
raptures at this response. How does anyone’s mind go there on
the first occasion?
Also, when you get the chance, ask him how to spell ‘Heidelberg’, as
he turned up to a game a couple of weeks ago with the paperwork
filled in, aside from one of the team names... guess which one?
Keep those submissions coming, and I’ll see you all next week...
P.S. What I do with my bananas before my game is my business!

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.
Australia’s leading provider of trophies, promotional products & merchandise
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.
$100 to every NFL club
on presentation of this ad - minimum of $500 order
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!
Proud Northern Football League sponsor and official supplier
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.
