August 25th, 1974 THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL R E C O R D E R Page 3 Curbing Rough Play COUNTRY LEAGUE WORRIED By MIDFIELD ROUGH PLAY IN FOOTBALL has received prominence in the newspapers and other media in recent days. While it is acknowledged that the subject becomes topical ever so often, very little has been done to eliminate unduly rough play in. much of the football played in this state. When suggestions have been put forward the cry goes up that the spectators enjoy the fierce clashes, but surely there is a difference between a good solid bump and the sly dropping of a player behind the game. "It is a body contact sport," is' a popular saying. Yes, but that does not open the door to the "king hit" artist. The Western Border League of Victoria, which has 12 clubs — six in Victoria and the same number from South Australia, has shown great concern about rough play in their League and for start have appointed two field umpires to control under 18 games. It is anticipated that the second umpire would not award free kicks but act in the role of a steward with the power to report players. There was also talk that this League would consider the introduction of a rule empowering the umpire to "order off" offending players. This rule hasdoubt worked in parents Soccer and There is no many are Rugby for many years and could be not keen on 4heir sons playing a game worthy a trial in be our badly game.injured. in whichofthey can This is a dangerous situation as parents are looking to other sports for their sons and one of those attracting a lot of attention is Soccer. ROUND BALL THREAT W e Australian Rules enthusiasts must face up to the fact that the round ball game does present a threat and now is the time for us to look at our rules and see if they measure up to 1974 standards. Without being labelled as egotistical, it ismade only afair to say thatorthe V.F.A. has forward move two. It has given the emergency umpire the power to report, and he does. Quite often it is this official who has a player before the Tribunal. Again, the Tribunal, while always fairminded, is not afraid to award severe penalties. It is not a weak body by any means. The thought of being caught can be the best deterrent in civil life and also on the sporting field. Watch the way motorists strictly observe the law when a mobile policeman is in the vicinity. He will become the most law-abiding citizen and not go a kilometer over the speed limit of the area. So it can be in football if the players know that the umpires will report undue rough play and the Tribunal will exact a heavy penalty. It is thought-provoking that the Western Border League has put a curb on rough play firstly in under age games. LOUD-MOUTHS Too often boys learn bad habits and it is with much regret that many are urged on by loud-mouthed coaches totally unsuitable to be caring for lads. Many parents are equally at fault. At a junior game a few weeks ago, the conduct of some parents w a s a disgrace. They screamed for their sons to "get stuck into him" and followed with other similar epithets. W e have a great game. It has a terrific spectator interest, but it should be free from unduly rough play. If allowed to develop this scourge could be a severe handicap.

One team has to drop out after today's games. Dandenong, Port Melbourne and Geelong West, all on 48 points and with good percentages are set to play in the finals. So it leaves Oakleigh and Prahran to fight for the 4th position. Both play away — Prahran at Port Melbourne and Oakleigh at Williamstown, and neither team will relish having to tackle such tough opposition to figure in the final series. But the struggle at the top of the ladder is not the only interest in this week's V.F.A. football. Caulfield and Sunshine meet at Caulfield to decide the team to be relegated. Then in 2nd Division the 2nd semifinal between Coburg and Waverley is sure to be a thriller with the winning team going into the Grand Final. Williamstown has hit top form at the end of the season and will be eager to take on Oakleigh today. N o teams find it easy at the seaside oval and it will be a big test for the Oaks. Barry Gill has a nice blending of youth and experience in his Seagulls. The Stillivans provide drive and the steadiness of Fenton, Boxall and Thompson in defence should limit the Oakleigh forwards' opportunities. Williamstown will be eager to finish the season on a good note and I a m selecting them to win. BLUES' BIG JOB A H E A D Prahran also faces a difficult task as they go to Port Melbourne today. Port flppepd at Dandenong last Sunday, but can usually be relied on to come back strongly after a beating. Prahran is enjoying a winning run, having beaten Preston, Sandringham and Caulfield in recent weeks, so the Prahran's but enough Paul confidence Fred Both the Gosteams Cook, toand Port defenders provide should Billy Mick have attack be victory. Beclcwith top Erwin busy. runing appears class and will high. players, rovers srong keep So it apears the fourth place will depend on percentages and Oakleigh should just make the finals. BATTLE FOR B O T T O M Caulfield holds a slight percentage over Sunshine and as the game is at Caulfield I expect the eBars to win and so get a second year in 1st Division. This will be a tense game with all the drama of a grand final Geelong West and Dandenong meet in a game which will see the winner playing in the 2nd semi-final Geelong West play strongly at home and their small men, 'Darky' Harris and David Irvin, together with their highly skilled big men, led by David ManSon, should prove too strong for Dandenong. There is nothing hanging to the Preston - Sandringham game. Both have disappointed and wil be looking to next season now. I'll go for Preston. LIONS TO G R A N D FINAL It is the big game in 2nd Division and Coburg will go into the game favourites. The result could swing on the form of the forwards. Peter Smith notched 13 against Mordialloc a fortnight ago while Brent Ziesler, Waverley's fullforward got seven against Werribee. Coburg has proved a most consistent team throughout the season with one loss. That was to Waverley on M a y 5. The result was reversed later when Coburg won by 17 points. Coburg is tipped to win again today. S E Y M O U R selects : — First Division W I L L I A M S T O W N v. Oakleigh P O R T MELB. v. Prahran Second Waverley GCAULFIELD PRESTON E E L ODiv. N G v.

All supporters should be watching Channel 0 from 7.30 onwards next .Wednesday. BIG PRIZE FOR L U C K Y PLAYER The best player in the Grand Final of the Lightning Premiership is to be the lucky recipient of a grand prize. Cathay Pacific Airways have offered, through ATV-0, to present the best player in the Lightning Premiership big finale, two return tickets to Hong Kong on the new Sydney-Hong Kong flight. A litle bird has whispered that more big prizes for the Lightning Grand Final could be on the way. Cathay Pacific, a British-owned company operating Boeing 707's, is to be congratulated on their generosity. Y O O - H O O O N THE V.F.A. BALL Our major sponsor, Yoo-Hoo drinks, have been instrumental in big advertising at Toorak Park and Junction Oval. They have donated plenty of their products for players in all finals and the V.F.A. thanks Yoo-Hoo for this thought. The $5.00 award in each division for the Club Championship has resolved itself and the lucky clubs to share the S1000 award are COBURG (2nd Div.) and PORT M E L B O U R N E (1st Div.). W e are sure these clubs wil be thrilled with the Yoo-Hoo award. GOALKICKING A W A R D S IN THIRDS Winners of the goalkicking awards in the Thirds were announced last week. With 107 goals, Bill Brewer, of Northcote, w o n the Set Alexander Trophy in Second Division. Second with 74 goals Phillip Constantinou, of Caulfield, took off the Roy Kent Trophy. GILLON M E D A L T O CONSTANTINOU Phillip Constantinou, of Caulfield, has won the 1974 Gillon Medal for the Best and Fairest player in the V.F.A. Thirds (First Division). Phillip w o n with 26 votes, one ahead of Mark Lloyd, of Oakleigh. Phillip's win is more creditable than it appears, as he played the last few games with a bad groin injury. Despite this injury he carried on, mostly from the forward pocket, to also win the Roy Kent Trophy. Well done to Phillip, and the Caulfield club. PETER SMITH'S 100 Coburg forward, Peter Smith, became the first senior V.F.A. player to score more than 100 goals this season, kicking .13 in the last round to tally 101 for 1974. Peter is the fourth Coburg player to top the ton. Others were Lance Collins (twice with 108 and 116), Bob Pratt (183) and Jack Titus (119). Peter has joined a formidable line-up and deserves our praises.
