Editorial – Womens’ Involvement Benefits All As you would have seen through the promotions at AFL level this week, this weekend’s round of matches has officially been dedicated to recognising the valuable contribution women have made and continue to make to the sport across all levels. The Northern Football League now has six female Presidents leading and directing our clubs (down from nine in 2012). These include Joanne Worsfield (Hurstbridge Juniors), Donna Sandford (West Lalor JFC), Nadine Christall (Wallan Juniors), Jackie Aquilina (Mill Park JFC), Joy Lee (Lalor Juniors) and Rebecca Hickmott (Darebin Womens). Most of these women have been long-time servants of their clubs and have occupied many other positions along the way. Added to this, the NFL has over 250 women occupying official positions at our clubs and one of the highest concentrations of female umpires at community level. Our netball competition is developing into one of the strongest community competitions in the state and the NFL has been one of the leaders in the development of female only youth football. Why the song and dance? Well, female participation in our sport, whether that is on or off field, has long been neglected. Football clubs have traditionally been male dominated fortresses where female engagement was limited. By neglecting this demographic, we are alienating a large proportion of people who have a significant interest in the sport. Let’s look at some of the stats at AFL level: • 42% of football’s national television viewing audience is female • 35% of AFL and AFL club members are female THE NORTHERNER • There are nearly 100,000 females playing football from Auskick through to senior grades Break that down and the numbers are massive. Millions of people watch AFL football on television every year and hundreds of thousands become AFL or AFL club members. The number of female players is increasing by around 25-30% every year and new competitions are being developed – all building towards a planned national women’s competition by 2020. Clubs who are not prepared to adapt their environment to be inclusive and welcoming of women are not only depriving themselves of a significant number of people who have a genuine (and sometimes new) interest in the sport. They are depriving themselves of skill set vital to the modern club. An inclusive environment consisting of a wide variety of backgrounds and skills opens up many opportunities for clubs and helps to create an attractive option for sponsors, players and volunteers. Within the NFL’s governance, the addition of Nicolina Lademann and Stella Pruscino to the Board has brought immediate impact. Both of these women have been active in the NFL community, discussing the issues that many women face in the challenging roles they are undertaking. The NFL would strongly encourage clubs to take the opportunity to acknowledge and recognise the contribution women have made to their football club. It would also be timely for clubs to consider ways in which women could be contributors in the future, as their presence and interest is only going to grow. Enjoy your weekend.

NFL. ORG. AU Votes 3 Match Reports MAGPIES EXTEND PERFECT RECORD by Samuel Zito Montmorency overcame a Michael O’Loughlin-inspired Greensborough to keep its unbeaten season intact. The Magpies were at their attacking best in the 41-goal shootout, outlasting the Boro 22.15 (147) to 19.9 (123) in front of a huge crowd at War Memorial Park. The ladder-leaders looked in complete control midway through the second quarter when they led by 25 points, before O’Loughlin – the man everyone had come to watch – put on a clinic. In the space of 15 minutes the former Sydney Swans legend booted three goals and set up another as the Boro booted six consecutive goals. Greensborough took a two-point lead into half time and a major upset looked on the cards when O’Loughlin setup Josh Grubb for a goal in the opening minute of the third quarter. However, Montmorency lifted when most other sides would have crumbled. The Magpies booted three consecutive goals through Alex Chiocci, Chris Burton and Wayne Pavitt to take a nine-point buffer. Greensborough challenged again when Aron Burns and Scott Barnett kicked goals one minute apart, however it EAGLES WIN SIX IN A ROW by Ben Pascuzzi Whittlesea recorded an impressive 52-point victory over Diamond Creek on Saturday at Coventry Oval to stretch its winning streak to six matches. In the second Division 2 top of the table clash between the two sides, an Eagles win never looked in doubt after smashing the Creekers in all areas. The Eagles got off to a flyer kicking the first goal of the match within the first minute thanks via Jeremy Page. Diamond Creek then had more of the ball but missed a number of scoring opportunities. Whittlesea responded with its second of the afternoon through Ben Russell after a beautiful switch of play out of defence. The Creekers soon kicked their first goal through Luke Simpson after getting the centre clearance, however the Eagles recovered quickly. After a terrific diving chest mark, Laurence Umali moved the ball quickly to Brenton Briffa who kicked truly to give the visitors an 11-point lead. A couple more goal exchanges saw out the first quarter with Whittlesea holding a 13-point lead. 4 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record would be the last time the home side would be ahead. Goals to Burton and Jesse Donaldson gave the Magpies an 11-point lead at three-quarter time. Victory was sealed when Ben Walton and captain Ryan Jackson kicked the opening two goals of the final term. The Boro was gallant to the end and attempted a number of mini fightbacks, however Montmorency had the reply to every challenge and finished with a 24-point win. With three goals and high number of contested possessions Ryan Jackson was best afield in the victory. Importantly, Jackson was at his best when his side looked to be struggling and he willed them back into the contest. Walton was the best forward on the ground and finished with a game-high five goals. He played a direct hand in Montmorency’s first four goals – kicking the first two and then providing direct goal assists for both Ben Haynes and Jackson. Despite losing, the Boro had five different players kick three goals, an exceptional achievement playing against the league’s best team and without spearhead Tim Bongetti who was a last-minute withdrawal. Final score: Greensborough 19.9 (123) def by Montmorency 22.15 (147) The start of the second term saw the ball moving quickly from both ends of the ground but to no avail for either side. Marcus Webb finally kicked the breakthrough goal midway through the term and this extended the Eagles’ lead to 20 points. But the Creekers got on the board in the second term after Daniel Padget kicking a beautiful running goal after his teammates got the ball out of the middle. It was all we saw goal-wise for the second term with both teams’ kicking a further four behinds as the half-time margin remained the same as at quarter time. Rikki Stephens missed a chance after the siren which could have reduced the margin to eight points for Diamond Creek. The Eagles blew the Creekers off the park in the third term piling on 5.6 to the Creekers’ one solitary goal. They dominated the centre clearances and the possession count to extend their lead to 43 points. The last quarter was much of the same, with the Eagles outscoring Diamond Creek 5.1 to 3.4, enabling them to record an impressive 52-point victory. Final score: Diamond Creek 7.10 (52) def by Whittlesea 15.14 (104) WWW. NFL. ORG.

Match Reports SAINTS KEEP TOP TWO HOPES ALIVE by Jarrad Conron Watsonia notched up its sixth win for season 2013 with a 20-point win over Thomastown at Main Street Reserve on Saturday. The Saints were able to pull away from the Bears in the final term to record the 15.13 (103) to 11.17 (83) win – their second victory over the second-placed team this season. Up forward, Jeremy Bennett starred with four goals, while playing-coach Lochie Dornauf slotted three of his own. Thomas Walliss and Brody Ricardi also chipped in with two apiece. For the Bears, Jacob Osei-Duro and James Mercuri kicked three goals each with Domenic Mazza the only other multiple goal scorer with two majors. Watsonia found itself out to a quick lead after kicking five of the first six goals in a dominant first term. However, Thomastown kicked a late major to bring the lead back to 18 points at the first change. After a rev-up at the quarter time huddle, the Bears turned the tables in the second term. The home side played some inspired footy and was able to kick four goals to one for the quarter to come within one point of the Saints at the main break. Both teams came out of the rooms fired up and ready to go for the second half and in the third quarter the contest was very even around the ground. Both sides ROOS BOUNCE PAST BLUES by Liam O’Callaghan Macleod produced a dominant second half to beat Epping by 73 points at Epping Recreational Reserve in Round 10. After a tight and physical first half, the Kangaroos ran riot after half time to finish with a 20.17 (137) to 9.10 (64) victory at Epping Recreation Reserve. In a game that was crucial to the relegation battle, Macleod proved to be a class above. It was its ability to move the ball quickly, take risks and use the open spaces of the large ground that led to the onslaught of goals. Epping could not keep up as Macleod transitioned from the backline through the corridor and into the forward line in a matter of moments. This gave its forwards many 6 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record refused to let their opposition get any easy possessions as the sides traded seven goals for the term. Ultimately, Thomastown’s inaccurate kicking was a major factor in the quarter. The Bears kicked 3.5 in the third and went into the final quarter four points behind. With the game and also a potential top two place in the balance, Watsonia came out firing in the last quarter. Unlike Thomastown in the third quarter, the Saints took advantage of their opportunities and kicked five goals from seven scoring shots to take the 20-point win. Interestingly, Watsonia has now won seven of eight quarters against Thomastown in their two outings this year. Tony Hogg had a sensational game on-ball and earned best on ground honours. Thomas Walliss and Fraser Ellis both playing stellar games and were also named in the better players for the victor. For the Bears, Jacob Osei-Duro was named best with an equal team-high three-goal performance. Others included in the best were ruckman Steven Cadby and Osama Saad. Next week, Watsonia will take on the ever-dangerous Parkside who defeated St Mary’s by 32 points at Pitcher Park in Round 11. Thomastown will look to hold on to its position in second place on the ladder when it takes on bottom side Heidelberg West at Heidelberg Park. Final score: Thomastown 11.17 (83) def by Watsonia 15.13 (103) one on one opportunities and chances to convert. All of Macleod’s players bought into this frantic game plan but it was David Adams who executed it the best. He gained huge amounts of territory with bursts of speed followed by long, probing kicks. Adams was supported by Anthony Doherty and Hayden Seivers who were not only explosive on the outside but won plenty of hard ball and clearances. Up forward it was Lachlan Considine who converted with four goals. He had a field day at the feet of Macleod’s bigger forwards. The story was not so good for Epping. While Peter Shepherd was able to add four goals to his total for the season there were few other positives. Its pressure in the first half was causing Macleod to make mistakes but WWW. NFL. ORG. AU Match Reports BERGERS REGAIN FORM The Tigers led from start to finish in a polished performance and jumped back into third place on the ladder with the 12.11 (83) to 10.4 (64) result at Warringal Park. The inclusions of Brad Miller, Josh Houlihan, Michael Finn and Justin Murphy – who has returned from the Murray Football League – strengthened the Tigers after last week’s shock loss to Lower Plenty. Heidelberg’s clean possession and effective kicking into the attacking 50m was the clear difference between the two sides as Northcote Park struggled to move the ball efficiently when in transition. While the Tigers hit up leading forward targets, most of the attacks inside 50m by the Cougars were bombed high to packs, giving the Tigers defenders much more opportunity to spoil. Heidelberg coach Ryan Smith remained calm when addressing his players at three quarter time with a lead of 18 points. The lead could have been more if not for poor kicking in front of goal in the third quarter. His main message was to remain calm when playing possession footy in order to stop any run on that could hand the Cougars victory. Once the Tigers got up by 31 points halfway through the quarter, the message was sent out to slow the play down. Unlike their fadeout loss to Bundoora when leading in the last quarter, an improved Heidelberg slowed the play down effectively, putting any last quarter fight back from the Cougars beyond reach. Tigers forward Lance Oswald was sensational kicking four goals, including the sealer early in the fourth quarter. Oswald provided the small forward option for the Tigers in the absence of injured Mark Favrin. Jess Sinclair was active up forward as well for Heidelberg providing a lead up target outside the forward 50m and also adding two goals for the Tigers. With wave after wave of attacks into the Heidelberg forward 50m, Oswald, Sinclair and Jordan Treloar proved too much to handle for the Cougars defenders. Along with these four players, Josh Houlihan and Brad Miller were instrumental down back, both involved in most scoring passages of play. A key victory for Heidelberg was the role played by Michael Brunelli who had the tough tagging role on Cougars captain Bronik Davies. He succeeded in the shutdown role as well as winning plenty of the ball himself. Up forward for Northcote Park it was Pat O’Connell (three goals) and Joe Woonton as the key marking forwards. Fellow key forward Koden Colman had a quiet day with his only major coming in the first quarter. Woonton and O’Connell fought all day but weren’t presented with enough clean opportunities with a lack of inside 50m entries. Fellow teammates Daniel Ledda, Shaun Lorenzini and Ben McNiece were also amongst the Cougars best. Final score: Heidelberg 12.11 (83) def Northcote Park 10.4 (64) as soon as it eased up Macleod would do as it pleased. Joshua Stavely and Beau Delcus were some of the better players for Epping but there was only so much they could do against increasing number of Macleod players streaming through the midfield. The signs were ominous early for Epping as the Kangaroos managed five scoring shots before Epping’s first goal, which came courtesy of Shepherd. Epping’s pressure resulted in a turnover and goal before Anthony Doherty gave Macleod a 10-point lead at the break. Epping opened the second quarter with three goals and the momentum had swung its way. However, after all of Epping’s hard work Justin White kicked two of Macleod’s next four goals to enter half time ahead – a disheartening position for the home side. After half time Macleod was quick to take its game to the next level. In the space of two minutes the Roos kicked three goals from centre clearances. This seemed to break Epping’s spirits as its pressure dropped and the floodgates opened. Macleod added three more goals to finish the third quarter and then picked up where it left off in the last. Considine kicked two goals for the term, as did Mathew Pow, as Macleod finished with 20 goals. Final score: Epping 9.10 (64) def by Macleod 20.17 (137) by Jackson Baker Heidelberg again came through as victor over Northcote Park in the second Grand Final re-match of the year, winning a tightly contested game in perfect conditions.

In near perfect conditions for football at Warrawee Park, both teams started slowly with the Knights registering the first goal of the match at the 11-minute mark through Kyle McDonald. The Dragons then started to fire and went on to kick four unanswered goals to finish the quarter 21 points in front. Sandringham continued to pull away scoring the first goal of the second quarter before the Knights started their fight back. A goal to Tom Grimes got the Knights back into the contest and then late goals by Chas Bromley and Marcus Bontempelli saw the honours shared for the term as the margin remained at 21 points going into the long break. The arm wrestle continued in the third quarter with both sides having opportunities and it was the Knights through Liam Bowkett and 23rd player Josh Doherty up forward, who were able to score and reduce the margin to 14 points heading into the final stanza. Two early goals from Liam Hunt closed the gap for the Knights and they continued on from there, finishing strongly to record an eight-point victory. Matthew Haynes, Josh Turner and Liam Hunt were key players through the midfield, Julian Soccio and Sam Switkowski provided good run from the half back line while Ciaran Porter worked hard creating a contest inside 50m for the Knights. This Saturday, June 2 the Knights take on the Dandenong Stingrays at Preston City Oval and will be looking to build on this performance and cement themselves in the top eight ready for the run home into finals.

It is the only Division 1 clash between two top five teams and the result holds great significant to both, with the Boro looking to sure up their place inside the top five, while the Tigers are looking to keep their spot inside the top three. Despite a 4-6 win-loss record and defeats in their past three matches, Greensborough still sits in fifth place on the ladder – a position they have held since Round 4. With both Eltham and West Preston-Lakeside also sitting on four wins from 10 matches, the Boro appear locked in a three-way battle over the next two months for the final spot in this year’s finals series. Most would agree the Boro have been the most consistent and competitive of that trio, however, football hands you no points for honourable losses and Robert Hyde’s men have plenty of work ahead of them if they are to feature in September this year. The Boro have a 0-5 record against sides inside the top four, with an average losing margin of five goals indicating they have been competitive enough against the competition’s best sides. They pushed Northcote Park all the way in a 19-point loss at Bill Lawry Oval in Round 6 and have taken it right up to Bundoora and Montmorency over the past fortnight. Last week’s 25-point loss to the undefeated Magpies produced many positive signs, with the Boro looking poised to pull off an extraordinary upset when Michael O’Loughlin sparked a run of six consecutive goals heading into half-time. A late call-up to replace Tim Bongetti, Alex Rintoul played his best game of the season and kicked three goals, while the promise of Jack Johnston and continued emergence of Tristan Stead offers plenty of hope for the Boro in the next 18 months. While the Boro side appears a little way from the best sides in the league, there is no doubting that they are getting closer to claiming a prized scalp. Heidelberg recorded its most important win for the season when it accounted for reigning premier Northcote Park by 19 points on Sunday. Needing to win to stay in touch with the top three and a double chance in September, the Tigers led at every change with Lance Oswald providing a spark with four goals and Michael Brunelli playing a lock-down role on Cougars captain Bronik Davies. The Tigers aren’t playing to the peak of their power, however they are still excellently placed to have a massive tilt at this year’s premiership. The return of experienced trio Josh Houlihan, Michael Finn and Brad Miller understandably gave the side a lift last week, as did the return of Justin Murphy for his first game in yellow and black since the 2011 Grand Final loss to Bundoora. Mark Favrin and Justin Powick are two key players who didn’t play last weekend and will only strengthen the side, while Dale Nolan is yet to appear this season because of a back injury. This week’s game continues a tough five-week period for the Tigers who are also preparing for consecutive home games against Bundoora and Montmorency before travelling to Montmorency Park to take on Lower Plenty – the side which it was upset by in Round 9.

NFL. ORG. AU 11 Division 1 – Summary Round 10 was a truly great weekend of football and following the five results there is now a genuine log-jam for places inside the top three and also for fifth position. The game of the round took place at War Memorial Park where Greensborough – sparked by the brilliance of Michael O’Loughlin – took it right up to undefeated Montmorency. An upset loomed in the second term when O’Loughlin booted three goals in quick succession as the Boro took an eight-point lead right before half time, however Ryan Jackson sparked a Montmorency fightback as the ladder leader won its tenth-consecutive match. Buoyed by the return of Justin Murphy, Josh Houlihan, Michael Finn and Brad Miller, Heidelberg produced its biggest win of the season over Northcote Park to move back into third place. The Tigers led from start to finish in the second Grand Final rematch of the season, quickly putting the shock Round 9 loss to Lower Plenty behind them. In other results, West Preston-Lakeside kept its finals hopes alive with a gutsy seven-point win over Eltham, Macleod jumped out of the relegation mire with a big win over Epping and Bundoora ran riot in the last quarter to demolish Lower Plenty for the second time this year. As a result, Bundoora, Heidelberg and Northcote Park are in a three-way battle for second and third places and a double chance in September. A loss last weekend would arguably have ruined the Tigers chances of finishing in the top three – making the 19-point victory so crucial in their premiership assault. Greensborough, Eltham and West Preston-Lakeside all sit with four wins and six losses after the opening 10 rounds and will fight it out for fifth place and the final spot in the finals. Macleod must produce something special in the second half of the season to join the mix, however for the time being the Roos look well off featuring in September. It all adds up to an exciting final two months of the home and away season, beginning here in Round 11. It’s a big week for Eltham who will look to atone for last week’s somewhat surprising loss to West PrestonLakeside – the same team it beat by 53 points in Round 2. The Panthers would have jumped into the top five had they beaten the Roosters, but shot themselves in 12 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record the foot with a woeful goal conversion of 7.21 from 28 scoring shots. They now come up against ninth-placed Lower Plenty who they fell to by 17 points back in Round 1. It has proved to be a costly loss and this weekend’s game looms as a really dangerous one in their quest to play finals footy. The Bears were made to pay for two lengthy lapses against Bundoora last week – losing by 94 points in a match they were competitive in for more than two quarters. Billy Barden was his sides best with five goals. Greensborough is again at home to a top three side – this time against Heidelberg. The Boro are etching closer to knocking over a premiership contender and have beaten the Tigers once in each of the past three years. It’s a huge match for both sides and the Tigers will look to continue on last week’s four-quarter effort. After last Saturday ending a four-game losing streak, Macleod returns to De Winton Park to take on Bundoora. The Roos will be looking to put in a better showing than the last time they played the Bulls where they lost by 129 points. The Bulls continued on their ruthless way last week and have now won four matches by margins in excess of 90 points. Only twice have they scored less than 100 points in a match, one of those occasions being a 53-point win over West Preston when they still managed 94 points. The final two matches see Montmorency host West Preston-Lakeside, while last year’s Division 2 premier, Epping, takes on the reigning Division 1 premier, Northcote Park, at Bill Lawry Oval. Montmorency withstood a valiant challenge from Greensborough last weekend – winning from a position where most others would likely have crumbled. The Roosters will offer a great contest but will need to improve on a 57-point loss to the Magpies in Round 1. Northcote Park will be a red-hot favourite to hand Epping its tenth loss of the season. The Cougars missed an opportunity to lock-up a place inside the top three but should rebound this week. WWW. NFL. ORG.

NFL. ORG. AU 13 Division 1 ELTHAM To say that a win in this week’s game is vital is an understatement. We need to atone for our dismal effort against Lower Plenty in round 1. If not, we could probably kiss goodbye any chance of a finals appearance. SENIORS: Blew it against West Preston last week. How do you expect to win kicking 7.21 with a great majority of those behinds being set shots? Also, turnovers killed us again, especially in the final quarter. Best: Gavan Connelly, Andrew Sturgess, Luke McNeil. RESERVES: Although West Preston got away to a clear lead early, the Panthers were still within 10 points at three-quarter time, but unfortunately we were unable to go on with it in the last. Best were Jamie Doucas, Trent McAllister and Travis Hede. UNDER-19: Continued on their winning way with a solid win by just over seven goals. The boys turned out to be our only winners on the day. Kyle O’Sullivan, Jake Bellman and Lachie Findlay were named best. SOCIAL NEWS: Today we welcome our sponsors and 500 Club members to lunch in the clubrooms. Stand by for other function news. LOWER PLENTY Today we travel to Eltham Central Park for a great day of local footy and a chance to snap up another four points. SENIORS: Apart from about 30 minutes of football we were competitive with the Bulls last week. They got hold of us for 10 minutes in the second quarter and the last 20 minutes of the game, where the scoreboard damage was prolific. Reecey played a quarterback roll on Clokey who kicked most of his goals in junk time. Billy jagged five, Cam and Darcy fed Benny Buller, Vass and Kano who gave us plenty of drive around the ball. RESERVES: Well done to the boys who pulled the Bears jumper back on to help Steve and Shawry get a team on the park. Everyone was rapt to see Dessy, Maxy, Grigga and Tis back running around again at the Cave. Andy Tregenza held the backline together, Thommo played well in his first game back, Max got three while Tommy Shaw, Walshy and Floydy kept the Bulls honest. We got beaten by a seriously good seconds side but we are all proud of the commitment and loyalty the boys are showing to the footy club.

The Bulls started well with the first three goals but spent the rest of the game chasing Bear jumpers. An 80-point turnaround from our last game against Bundoora is testament to the hard work put in by everyone involved. Coursey dominated the big man department, Hoops, Cooky and Rory were dominant while Nick Baxter and Lucas Cronin also provided plenty of run in a team performance.

NFL. ORG. AU 15 Division 1 GREENSBOROUGH The stakes were high last week but today is one of the most important games for the club for a number of years. If we can show the same effort as last week we are a huge chance. SENIORS: There was a massive crowd and the boys had a real go. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite sustain the effort and although we lost the game we lost no admirers. Best Players: J. Craker, J. Griffiths, T. Stead, A. Rintoul, L. McQuilken, J. Johnston RESERVES: The boys are really playing with a lot of spirit at the moment and playing as a very strong unit. Best Players: T. Veal, J. Rogers, D. Bryant, A. Lindstrom, A. Grimes, T. Forster UNDER-19: Montmorency really served it up in the first half but the boys showed their class to come away convincing winners. Best Players: A. Cataldo, B. Mossuto, J. Rowe, K. Bruhn, C. Pocock, M. Cvijetic AROUND THE CLUB: The Micky O experiment was nothing short of amazing. He is a quality person that just happens to be gifted in football ability. I think everyone at the ground was barracking for him and the experience gained by those playing alongside him was terrific. Thanks to Leigh and Grubby for their efforts. HEIDELBERG Last week we were host to Northcote Park for the one and only Sunday game on the fixture and we had a good crowd and were blessed with great conditions. SENIORS: We led from start to finish in a must-win game to keep in sight of the double chance as well as earn a bit of redemption for the poor showing the week before. With seven changes to the side and a few blokes playing different roles we looked better than we have for a while. Robbie Allan played his first senior game for the club and carried on the good form that got him in there. That was a good win against quality opposition with a bit of pressure on everyone in the lead up. Things won’t get any easier in the coming weeks so we can’t afford to drop off. RESERVES: With the depth of the list on the improve so is the form of reserves. We got out to a handy lead early and kept building on it until three-quarter time. To their credit, the Parkers fought it right out, outscoring us in the last quarter. Considering they knocked us over in the first round it was a pretty handy turn around. Let’s look forward to a much better second half of the year. 16 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record TONIGHT: All roads lead to Lilydale Town Hall to watch Matt “Kamikaze” Kamolins in his first amateur fight. Big numbers are expected as our very own diminutive Don King, Brett Millsom, has booked a bus (the exact one used in Priscilla Queen of the Dessert) to head down to Lilydale. Positions on the bus filled up quickly as a number of Matt “Pretty Boy” Kamolin’s closest friends want to be there to barrack for Kamo, while equally others want to barrack for his opponent. NETBALL: A handful of narrow losses, two players carted off to hospital and a convincing win, covered Round 10. Team 1 suffered a competitive five-goal loss to Fitzroy Stars A where the lead changed nine times. Team 2 took the opportunity to stay in the top four with a 14-goal victory over Laurimar. Team 3 had a tough task against undefeated St Mary’s A. The girls were competitive initially but couldn’t match their shooting power, losing by 27 goals. Team 4 was determined and accurate until Epping Blue stole the momentum in the third quarter and handed us a seven-goal defeat. Team 5 lost to Watsonia D by one goal, with the margin never more than four goals. Finally, a last quarter resurgence by Team 6 couldn’t be maintained and ended in a six-goal loss. UNDER-19: Led at the first break, were going along ok in the second quarter until the Cougars slammed on four unanswered goals in six minutes to lead at the long break. It was pretty even for the second half, so apart from that period where we just lost interest in what was going on we pretty much matched it with them. We must eliminate those brief lapses. $10,000 DRAW: Sunday, July 7 at the club, catered by Luckman Catering. All players have tickets and must sell them so that’s a good way to get yours.

NFL. ORG. AU 17 Division 1 MONTMORENCY A massive crowd greeted us at War Memorial Park last week and Micky O turned it on in the second stanza in a fantastic quarter of footy. Fortunately though we got the chocolates in the big one, but the Boro are a quality opposition. Today we welcome the Chooks to our Nest for what we hope will be good, tight game. SENIORS: We jumped out of the blocks pretty well and had six on the board, but Boro were able to kick one right on the siren to be only two goals adrift. We snuck away to a reasonable lead in the second before O’Loughlin took the game by the scruff of the neck to have the Slime ahead at the main break. We were able to steady the ship in the second half and went on to win by 25 points, albeit the story could have been somewhat different if Micky O hadn’t left the field in the last with a strained hammy. Well played Boro, you have been the most competitive team we have played so far. Rowie Nayna was BOG whilst Junior and JD were very solid contributors. Benny Walts got a bag of five, with three goals to Burto, whilst Michael Fitz had the unenviable job of standing O’Loughlin and the young man stood up to the task. WEST PRESTON-LAKESIDE The trip to Para Road provides us with plenty of challenges today. A good opportunity for the reserves and under-19s to consolidate positions in the top five and a day where the seniors need a win to keep in touch with a finals chance. LAST WEEK: The under-19s gave the top side a head start, and even though we played pretty well for three quarters weren’t able to make any impression on the scoreboard. Big Ben, Liam Elliott and Daniel Trafford were named best in the loss. The reserves put in a really solid performance and are looking the goods in season 2013. A bit of depth is really showing with some new faces named in the best – Stefan T, Nial and Zac Watkins. In the main game it was pretty tight all day and we produced a good last quarter to come from behind and record a good win. Those with Kane Heaney were holding the best player ticket at last. Rammers and Ali were also very good in the seven-point triumph. PREMIERSHIPS REUNION: Is definitely on Saturday, July 20 from 7pm at the club.

We have 18 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record RESERVES: We rate Boro as the best side we have played and were very pleased to be only 10 points adrift at quarter time. We dropped away a little bit in the second to be six goals down at the main break. We re-grouped and refocused at half time and really lifted our attack on the footy to be within striking distance coming into the last. Boro jumped us early in the final stanza, kicking four goals in four minutes and it was game over. Better players were Tarks, Guth, Jacko and Nick Fitz. UNDER 19: Spinner was very proud of the efforts the boys put in against a quality side like Boro. The game was of a high standard and, if not for a 15 minute lapse in concentration and some wasted scoring opportunities in the third quarter, we could have given the game a real shake. Our pressure and intensity was first class. SOCIAL: Our major fundraiser, the $10K Draw, is scheduled for Sunday, July 5.

NFL. ORG. AU 19 Division 1 MACLEOD Our first trip to Epping for several seasons produced wins for the seniors and reserves and a close loss for the under-19s. SENIORS: After we thawed out Lincoln Withers from his flight from Darwin, we hit top gear from midway through the second term. It was tough going early but the boys piled 13 goals to four after half-time. Dave Adams had his best game for the season, Lachie Considine snagged four majors and Hayden Seivers provided great run from defence. After the game it was all aboard the bus to the Kalkallo pub after someone (no names, no pack drill) got the Donnybrook Hotel booking mixed up! We’ll make it to the Donnybrook another time but thanks to the staff at the Kalkallo for looking after us at the last minute. RESERVES: Notched their fifth win of the season and are now within a sniff of the five. It wasn’t a commanding performance but we’ll take the victory and with the arrival of some new players, things are looking up for Chubbs and his team. Brett Wilding bagged seven goals and Richie Andrew showed his class. BUNDOORA A 94-point win over Lower sees us a game clear in second going into this week’s match at Macleod. SENIORS: Fifteen goals between Clokey (8) and Gaz (7) saw us home easily. The forward line is as potent as ever at the moment, with Clokey moving to 49 for the season. Can you imagine the sight of the Grog Squad climbing the fence on the outer side of Yulong and charging towards their hero if he managed to kick 100? All without spilling a drop I’d imagine. Gaz has come back well after the break and is due for a screamer this week so look out. Pap, Dyso and the Skipper all chimed in with two. Dyso was BOG and is in red-hot form, Pap was good again, while the Mitchell brothers worked hard. RESERVES: A 98-point win and still on top undefeated. There is real quality about this side and coach Penn would be delighted with the performance so far. Ferraro kicked five, Yobbo got forward and booted three, as did Leroy, Aqua and Div. We have some great players across all lines this year and grow with confidence each week as we play together as a team. Leroy was BOG, Joshy and Div were good, Yobbo and 20 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record UNDER-19: A few costly errors proved the difference but full credit to the Epping boys on notching their first win for the season. Ben Hines and Shane Doherty kept us in the contest. BUSINESS LUNCH: Andrew Gaze will be guest speaker for the annual Cloudraisers Business Lunch next Friday, July 5 at De Winton Park. Cost is $100 (males), $80 (females), $200 (seated with Andrew Gaze). Includes 2-course lunch, beer, wine, champagne, soft drink. RSVP – Ron Manning 0412 327 641, or John Inglis 0416 048 407.

See Yvonne Hanks to secure your ticket, or call 0408 019 773. Chopper’s comebacks are both on track and Ferraro has found some great form after some top flight experience earlier in the year. Two games clear on top and a lot of competition for spots. UNDER-19: Disappointing effort on the weekend. Lost a game to a side lower than us and we now drop back to the pack despite still sitting inside the top five. The next month is very important and we can’t afford another off day for the rest of the season. Tommy was brilliant kicking five, Presto was good all day and that man again Fingers Bennett was also in the best. Oakman, Coco and Tommy rounded out the listed best but we are still seeing the same names in the best each week. The boys need some support and a solid team effort if they want to go further this year. Big game this week, let’s bounce back! MAN O MAN: SOLD OUT – No firemen duo this year so tickets went extra fast. PRESIDENTS LUNCH – SPECIAL GUEST DANE SWAN: Saturday, July 13 starting at midday. $40 includes lunch and welcome drink.

NFL. ORG. AU 21 Division 1 NORTHCOTE PARK It was a very cold start to the morning at Warringal Park last Sunday, with ice on the ground upon arrival. The under-19 were unperturbed and registered a good win, however it wasn’t a very good day for the seniors and reserves. SENIORS: Heidelberg led from start to finish. We could not get our running game going and produced way too many turnovers throughout the day. Joe Woonton and Patty O kicked three goals apiece and fought hard all day, however we just could not get the ball down quickly enough for the boys to do more damage. Ledda and McNiece were flawless again. Back to fourth spot and now the hard work has to start. RESERVES: For three quarters Heidelberg kept us very quiet and we did not have much use of the ball at all. Starting the last quarter we were trailing 111-24, then something clicked and we started looking for each other and making good use of the ball. We managed to outscore them by 18 points in the fourth quarter. It’s hard work boys but we all need to stick fat and have a red hot go for the remainder of the year. EPPING A great President’s Lunch was had last week with a great attendance and the legendary Tommy Hafey fantastic to listen to. Thanks to all those who attended. Great to see the under-19s crack it for their first win last week. Another big task today against Northcote Park. SENIORS: Some good passages and a respectable first half were let go in the third and fourth quarters and Macleod was just too good. Good to see Shep back bagging four goals and welcome to Johnno Mullins whose pace will be a welcome addition for the remainder of the season. Keep working at it boys. No doubt we can match it, we just need a consistent effort across four quarters. RESERVES: A full bench and a star-studded line-up proved no match against Macleod, after losing Toto and Travolta just 10 minutes in. By the end of game we ended up with 17 on field. We battled hard and used the ball well in patches. The new and improved Johnno dominated his first game. He certainly seems an upgrade from the previous Johnno. Haynesy offered the boys plenty of opportunity while Pencil’s solarium tan saw him shine on the wing again. 22 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record UNDER-19: Our only win for the day. It did not start off good with only 15 players at the ground 10 minutes before the first bounce. Boys, we need to contact Tony if we are running late or cannot make it. The 18 boys that were committed produced a great game of footy to watch first up. Going into the half time break we were 23 points up with Michael Borg kicking three goals in the second quarter. The second half was tight with Heidelberg kicking 7.2 to our 6.9. Better players on the day were David Cappellari, Stefan Dezan and Nathaniel Leach. THIS WEEK: We have Epping up next and we cannot take this lightly in all three grades. All the best boys. SOCIAL: Gold Cougar day this Saturday. For all the details get in contact with Michael Chilcott. $10,000 DRAW: The $10,000 Draw is on Sunday, July 7. It’s getting close so let’s get tickets and money in to Joe Amad as soon as possible. Anyone still needing a ticket should see Joe Amad. GO COUGARS UNDER-19: Reward for effort last week and all should be proud of their achievement. Great efforts from everyone, with special mentions to Jashar, Kearney, Tyson, Juddy, Demps, Braddy and Mase. Best wishes to Jordan Cugnetto for a speedy return. We move on now and take last week’s form into today’s contest against Northcote Park. CLUB NOTES: Cam Brown auditioned for The Voice during the senior game against Eltham, belting out a Britney Spears classic “Oops I Did It Again.” He definitely didn’t come from the same football background as Santoro. Matt Mac was in trouble for his choice of pink shorts post game. The votes go to the commentator 3- Simon Kelefarass, 2- Sherriff Wood with his badge in his shorts 1- Shepherd and his border collie. Auskick will be played half time of the seniors against Lower Plenty next week. UPCOMING FUNCTIONS: $5000 DRAW will be held on July 13 – the night of the Round 13 game against Bundoora.

Our e xcitin g We TV P b rogra m wil back l be in 20 13 Big Bette ger a r with nd matc h pre and r views eview s and the la all test n ews f rom the N FL Division 2 – Summary by Michael Thompson Whittlesea served a timely reminder to the rest of the competition that their four quarter performances are extremely powerful after disposing of challengers Diamond Creek last Saturday. The Eagles were wary of their first-half capitulation against North Heidelberg last start, however carried the form of their storming second half comeback into the game against Diamond Creek, powering to a 35-point half time lead. In the end, the Eagles would win every quarter and would go on to double Diamond Creek’s tally, winning 15.14 (104) to 7.10 (52) in a performance which would have pleased coach Peter Bugden. Andrew Fairchild extended his goal tally to 46 with another haul of five majors, while Matthew Atta was best on ground. Lalor pulled off a stunning upset in defeating Mernda at Schotters Road. The Bloods pulled out to a 19-point lead at half time and held on for a five-point victory – their best win of the season. The Demons kicked 4.11 from their final 15 scoring shots and may come to rue this loss later on in the season in a hammer blow to their finals aspirations. Scott Dowell kicked three goals for the victors, who also had Marc Ventura and Todd Hughes put in excellent performances in a result which could prove to save Lalor from Division 3 football in 2014. Andrew O’Reilly kicked two goals for the disappointing Demons. An 11-goal to six second half allowed North Heidelberg to snap its three-game losing streak against Hurstbridge at Ben Frilay Oval, prevailing by eight points in a shootout, 17.11 (113) to 15.15 (105). The Dogs trailed by 21 points at half-time but Shane Harvey once again asserted himself on the game, kicking nine goals and moving to 63 on the goalkicking leaderboard from 10 games. At the other end, Brett Woodhouse kicked five goals, and Nick Milne three. It was an important win for the Dogs, who now move two games clear of the bottom four. Fitzroy Stars withstood a withering South Morang onslaught before prevailing by nine goals, though inaccuracy played its part in the 18.24 (132) to 12.5 (77) victory. The Lions burst out of the blocks, kicking the opening five goals, before the Stars started to assume control. Patrick Davis kicked six goals in the victory, and his side was also well served by Alex Isailovic and 26 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record Mungara Brown, whilst Luke Manning was the Lions best, kicking three of the their 12 goals. The pick of today’s Round 11 games sees Diamond Creek travel to Sir Douglas Nicholls Oval to take on Fitzroy Stars. The Creekers will be desperate to reverse their loss at Preston City Oval earlier in the season. The winner will assume an all-important top-two spot which would ensure a double chance at the end of the season, so a victory in this week’s game is crucial for both sides’ promotion hopes. Hurstbridge and Mernda face off with the victor to sit fifth on the ladder and remain in contention for finals’ action, a fate which is quickly fading away with fourthplaced North Heidelberg leading both by two games. The Demons, much like the Creekers, will be looking for revenge, having let a four-goal lead slip against the Bridges at home earlier in the season. Playing once again at home, the Bridges will look to rebound after letting go a golden opportunity to put pressure on the Dogs’ finals ambitions. After winning its first game since mid-May, North Heidelberg welcomes old rival Lalor to Shelley Street. The Dogs are looking to maintain their grip on a top four spot, as well as stay in the hunt for the double chance. The Bloods will be buoyed by their last start upset against Mernda and ran the Dogs right to the line in their first encounter this year. Meanwhile, South Morang travels to Whittlesea looking to put in a better effort than the one which saw them lose by 95 points in Round 1. Following Lalor’s shock victory over Mernda, a win is required if the Lions want to stay in Division 2 next year. However, the Eagles will be heartened by their big victory over Diamond Creek last start which has given them a two-game break on the rest of the competition in top spot. WWW. NFL. ORG.

NFL. ORG. AU 27 Division 2 FITZROY STARS Playing South Morang away is always a tough assignment and we all prepared for a real contest. RESERVES: Our reserves got off to a flyer and were in control from the beginning. Nashy was great in the ruck, giving Jase, Kain, Jordy and Joshy first use of the ball. This in turn gave DT terrific delivery and he didn’t let anyone down, again kicking nine and dishing many more off. The end result was a 91-point victory. The reserves are travelling well and Leigh and his boys are looking like they will be seeing September action. SENIORS: A whole different ball game. South Morang jumped out to a six-goal flyer before our boys got the sleep out of their eyes. The young, enthusiastic opposition showed us the meaning of endeavour and led seven goals to three at the first break. After settling down and fixing our structure we took control. We piled on 40 scoring shots to South Morang’s eight in the final three quarters. The only blemish was our conversion rate which was a dismal, 18.24. We will not have this luxury against the other top sides if we are to be competitive late in the season. Our better players were Alex, Corey Wang, Mouse and Mabo, with Patty kicking DIAMOND CREEK We travel to Sir Douglas Nicholls for two tough matches against third-placed Fitzroy Stars. Both the seniors and reserves will be looking to rebound after last week losing to Whittlesea. Meanwhile, the under-19s get set to take on Warringal Hawks away from home. SENIORS: The game was a bit of a reality check for us as we came up against what is arguably the strongest and best side in Division 2. There were periods of play in the first half where we controlled the football without capitalising on the scoreboard, and unfortunately when you give the ball back to a well structured, disciplined side, they will ultimately make you pay. Full credit to the opposition for their dominance, especially in the second half. The challenge for us now is to bounce back quickly and give ourselves another opportunity against the competition yardstick. RESERVES: We came up against Whittlesea on a perfect day for football and there was nothing in it at half time. Whittlesea were applying the pressure and took advantage playing some good football and we went down by three goals. It was good to see some young 28 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record six and Mungara kicking four which continues their love-hate relationship. This is one the funniest working relationships in history. NETBALL: Our A grade side had a fantastic win against Greensborough 33-28. Our B grade girls had an unfortunate loss against Hurstbridge 14-32 and our C grade girls smashed Reservoir 34-12. Well done and let’s start to see more of our footballers at the games. TOOL OF THE WEEK: There are a few theories going around behind the Richie Bamblett scandal. The facts are Richie has bruised ribs and found himself on the deck at a get together last week. It has been suggested that Chin’s chin kinged him from 10 yards away or the phantom rode through and cleaned him up. Perhaps the Junction ghost came down the stairs and Richie fainted? It all sounds very suspicious and everyone is unanimous in awarding Richie the award for the first time in his career. THIS WEEK: An enormous week for both sides. The reserves can go on top with a win and the seniors can go one game clear in second. What a great position for the club to be in and hopefully both our sides will be victorious on such a big day. boys from the under-19s playing and showing the way. Must bounce back quickly from that one boys. UNDER-19: The under-19s took on an undermanned Hurstbridge at home last Saturday and although the boys did not put in their best display, they did still win by over 150 points. Best in the victory were Perko with nine goals, Ollie who kicked another seven and Watto and Searly who performed well over four quarters. SOCIAL: The $10,000 Draw will be held on Sunday, July 7.

First time around we snuck in luckily in both games so we need to come switched on. SENIORS: Coming off three straight losses and our spot in the four hanging by a thread, saying we needed a win was an understatement. With their tails up, Hurstbridge came out all guns blazing. We were beaten by a more desperate and attacking team who, but for some easy misses on goal, could have put us away by half time. A fair reason for us only trailing by 21 points was our newest recruit Andre Habchi who was fantastic with his endeavour and approach at the ball. A spray from Rudy at half time did wonders and we kicked the first four goals of the third to hit the front, with Greeny and Harvs hitting the scoreboard. Hurstbridge didn’t lay down and it became goal for goal as both sides failed to break away. Down back Ali and Trent did a great job with Blake and Paz starting to win the ball through the middle. With an 11-point lead at the last change we got the first goal but Hurstbridge kept coming and LALOR After pulling off a great win at Mernda, the boys now look forward to the challenge of travelling to Shelley Street to take on our old rival North Heidelberg. SENIORS: Took on Mernda at Mernda in what was to be a memorable game for the club. In almost perfect conditions, other than a bit of mud on the ground, Lalor started off well kicking seven goals to two in the first half. We looked like running away with it in the second half when we went in at the main break, but that was not the case. Mernda rallied and piled on four majors to put them within a goal going into the last quarter. We had to dig deep in the fourth and it was goal for goal late in the quarter. Mernda hit the front with about two minute to go but the Bloods drove the pill down to their forwards and the always reliable Hooch took a screamer and snapped the winning goal to ensure we were winners by five points. It was the club’s first win for seven games and puts us a game clear of South Morang. It was great to see the under-19 boys who were elevated against Mernda do the club proud. 36 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record some silly football kept letting them back in. When the siren went it was more relief than joy that we got a win. Full credit to the boys for finding a way to win. Unfortunately, S.K tweaked his hammy again in his first game back. For the past three months Sean has been doing everything in his power to get his body right and he sets a great example to the rest of the boys with his professionalism. We wish him a speedy recovery. RESERVES: Again we were looking for a win to get our season back on track and playing against a team below us on the ladder you would assume we would have been in with a decent chance. Taking no credit away from Hurstbridge, out 62-point loss was far from satisfactory. We have some injuries but we also have some very good players so a 110% improvement is expected this week. FUNCTIONS: July 13 - Ladies Day: $25 per head includes finger food and entertainment; August 3: $10K Gold Bonanza: $125 admits two and includes beer, wine, soft drink, finger food and entertainment.

NFL. ORG. AU 37 Division 2 WHITTLESEA A most impressive weekend away from the Nest with all three football squads recording important wins. Disappointingly, the netball girls suffered some close losses but we expect the girls to rebound this Friday night. SENIORS: The demand for a four-quarter performance has not only been felt internally, but the pressure and questions had been raised externally. Much to Pete and Brad’s pleasure, the boys put together their best four-quarter effort for the year and put some breathing space between ourselves and the rest of the competition with a commanding win over Diamond Creek at the Creek. It was a team effort all around from the boys so no individuals mentioned, but the task remains the same this week at we return home for the first time in a month to tackle Morang. Nothing less than four quarters is expected. RESERVES: Gary’s lads also recorded their best performance of the year with a hard-fought 18 pointwin over Diamo. Stevie D wound back the clock with a haul of eight, Byron continued to impress and surely Max, after another stellar performance, can’t be far away from senior selection. Lots of pressure and depth SOUTH MORANG Last week we faced a final contender in Fitzroy Stars at The Lakes Reserve. SENIORS: The challenge for the senior boys is to be competitive week in and week out and who knows what will happen. An upset was on the cards when we came out and kicked the first five goals of the game. The boys were up and about having a real crack. We always knew Fitzroy were going to fight back and it was just a case of whether we could hold on and keep up with the tempo. Unfortunately we couldn’t and they kicked away for an easy win in the end. If we can play four quarters of consistent footy we can cause a few headaches. Best players: Toady, Killa, Haggy and Johnny K. RESERVES: The twos need to keep winning to have any chance of making the finals. With numbers dropping off, we needed to come out and have a crack against a finals contender. It was not the case though and all King Gary could do is watch as Fitzroy ran over the top of us from the first bounce. It was a disappointing performance in end, with a lack of commitment and fitness a major factor. Best players: Rizza, Paps, Conti, Sandy. 38 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record from the squad has put the club in a great position leading into September. UNDER-19: It’s rare that you come away bewildered from a 21-goal win, but that’s exactly how many felt after Saturday morning. Joffa once again brought his own footy to the game and Choc is in his best form since arriving for the club. It was a patchy performance at best and with the week off before tackling St Mary’s it’s important that the boys get in the right frame of mind quickly. Finals beckon but there is still a long road to travel and that journey commences now. CALTEX STARCARD PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Kieran Sheehan takes away the $50 Starcard voucher this week after another commanding performance in the under19s. As always, we thank Caltex Whittlesea for their generous support SPONSOR OF THE WEEK: The Whittlesea Secondary College is a loyal sponsor of the WFNC and they continue to provide outstanding educational services to our local community. With a large portion of our club being alumni and/or current students, we couldn’t be more appreciative of their support and assistance. Go to www.whittleseasc.vic.edu.au for more information. UNDER-19: With a lack of numbers, the 19s were always going to struggle against one of the top teams in Whittlesea. There were not many positives coming from the game and in then end were comprehensively beaten by a more determined and skilful opposition: Best players: Moofa, Hammer, Jesse W, Muscat. TOOL OF THE WEEK: This week’s nomination was not nominated by me. But many of the boys suggest that Pommy should get the award for taking his girlfriend to the movies after training on Thursday night instead of hanging around with the boys. I would personally say that’s keeping the Mrs happy is a smart thing to do, but apparently the boys think you’re a tool.

NFL. ORG. AU 39 Division 2 HURSTBRIDGE This week we welcome Mernda to Ben Frilay Oval. The last time we met it was a tight tussle in both matches that saw us win the seniors, but lose a very winnable game in the reserves. We look forward to getting two wins this weekend. SENIORS: After leading early, we let Nth Heidelberg back into the game last week, and you can’t give a team like that any sort of opportunity. They were able to finish the game out better than us and took away a vital four points we needed at this time of the year. Knowing the tight battle we had with Mernda earlier this year, we have worked hard on the track to ensure we can put together a four-quarter performance and get back on the winning path. RESERVES: For the first time this year against a quality opposition the whole team put together a four quarter performance. It is hard in a win like this to point out stand out performances, but that is a problem we are quite willing to accommodate for the rest of the year. We hope to continue this form into our clash with Mernda. UNDER-19: Very disappointing is all to be said. Beef wants to commend, Harps, Dec, Mitch, Glove, Ryan, Riley, MERNDA Incredibly frustrating. The gap between our best and our worst is far too great. SENIORS: Full credit to Lalor. They came out a lot hungrier than we did, and as a result we’ve probably granted them a stay of execution from Division 2. As I said, the gap between our best (like we saw against North Heidelberg) and our worst is far too great and when we look back on the season this loss, along with the Hurstbridge game, will be very costly. Anyway, Akka kicked a couple and was our best, Timmy and Keegan played well also but you can’t deny that this was a very disappointing loss. RESERVES: Better news in the reserves where we were able to turn around our Round 1 result and win by 23 points. Even I had a run, and what’s even more stunning was that I had a kick. We were 41 points up during the third quarter but it looked as though Lalor would overrun us during the last. Thankfully, Johnno’s posttraining tradition of kicking goals from about 25 metres out actually paid off as he (only just) snagged one from a free late on to secure victory. Rizza kicked three, Ads, Tambo and Timmy Ando kicked two each, whilst Cawsey and Leppa was amongst our best (PS: Rocket, I 40 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record Bruiser, and Sammy for turning up and playing well. This kind of performance cannot be tolerated again. NETBALL: The girls took the court against Fitzroy this week and went out strong-minded and determined. Leading in all four quarters the Bridgettes came out with an excellent win. SOCIAL: Hurstbridge Football Club will be holding its Major League Poker Nights, on Wednesday nights.

TODAY: Hurstbridge at Hurstbridge and we owe them a hell of a lot from last time, where we only had ourselves to blame for giving up a four-goal lead to lose it. Hurstbridge played very well against North last week and we have to play our very best game to beat them in both grades. TOOL OF THE WEEK: As I said, I had a run against Lalor in the seconds. Late in the game though you couldn’t deny that I earned myself the Tool of the Week with my shocking effort at trying to kick a goal from a tackle which I wasn’t too sure whether it warranted holding the ball. Anyway, the crowd urging me on, a set shot from about 30m out, and what do I do? Slip and shank it sideways. Yep, I did well.

Despite their still being eight rounds of the home and away season still remaining, the top four teams now have a three-game advantage from the chasing pack and it would take something miraculous from either of St Mary’s or Parkside to reach the finals from their current position. As has become the custom this year, Round 11 threw up a number of surprises. Watsonia ended Thomastown’s three-game winning streak by rolling the Bears for the second time this season, while Parkside put a forgettable fortnight behind it to triumph over St Mary’s. The biggest match in Round 12 takes place at Crispe Park where fourth-placed Reservoir takes on ladderleader Panton Hill. Reservoir failed miserably in its first match against the Redbacks this season when it booted just four goals in an 81-point drubbing. There is no doubt the Mustangs will be priming themselves for a better showing this time around, however recent form says they will need to improve dramatically to match it with this year’s premiership favourites. Panton Hill moved eight-points clear in first place after last week’s 68-point win over Heidelberg West. After a close first half, the Redbacks booted 12 goals to two after half-time to record their sixth win by greater than 60 points for the season. It was the younger brigade which led the way in last week’s win with Tyler Scarce, Jeremy Gercovich and Tim Duckworth all named in the best players, while Jonathon Byron booted four goals – his biggest haul for the season. The win was a fitting way for the Redbacks to celebrate skipper and club legend Will Box’s 200th A-Grade game. 44 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record Heidelberg West plays host to Thomastown, a match which marks the end of a tough month for the Hawks who have placed the competition’s top four sides in successive weeks. The Hawks have shown plenty of positive signs in the past fortnight – challenging Reservoir in Round 10 before trailing Panton Hill by just one goal at half time last week. Thomastown missed the opportunity to stretch its buffer in second spot when it slipped to 20-point home loss to Watsonia. As a result, the Bears are equal on points with both the Saints and Reservoir and a massive two months now awaits as the three sides fight for a double chance in the finals. Similar to their first outing against Watsonia, Thomastown trailed at every change in last week’s loss. Behind by just four points at three quarter time, the Bears were outscored by five goals to two in the final quarter. Jacob Osei-Duro tried gamely all day and finished with three goals, while Steven Cadby also toiled hard. Having now won three of its past four matches, Watsonia heads in to this week’s danger game against Parkside as favourite. Jeremy Bennett and Lochie Dornauf combined for seven goals in last week’s superb away win, while Tony Hogg and Tom Walliss were also influential in the victory. We’re still none the wiser as to who the real Parkside is. The Devils’ inconsistency is their only consistent feature this year. After being smashed by both Panton Hill and Thomastown in their previous two matches, the boys from Pitcher Park responded with a 32-point win over St Mary’s – a result which will likely end the Burra’s hopes of playing in a third successive finals series. The Devils looked like being walloped again when they trailed by four goals at quarter time, but booted 17 goals to nine thereafter. Linchpin Darren Gresham was again best afield, just taking the honour ahead of Michael Thompson who kicked three goals. WWW. NFL. ORG.

NFL. ORG. AU 45 Division 3 RESERVOIR Today we welcome Panton Hill to Crispe Park. We’re fresh off the bye and with a number of players back from injury we must redeem the hiding the Hills gave us in Round 5. The reserves also need to continue the good football played over the past few weeks if they are to topple third-placed Panton Hill who. The under-19s are yet to win a game and come up against South Morang who has won two and played a draw. SENIORS: Eight changes for the game against Heidelberg West – including three in for their first senior game – indicated the coach was prepared to take risks with players who were prepared to train and play for the jumper. Whilst the margin was 31 points in the finish, Heidelberg West gave us a very hard contest. Discipline was an issue for both teams and players MUST accept the umpires’ decisions. RESERVES: Made it four wins in a row after beating Heidelberg West who smashed us in Round 3. Having senior players of the calibre of Dallas King (eight goals in three games), Kael Beaumont and Steven Hiho helps. UNDER-19: Coming off a thumping from Whittlesea two weeks ago, things only got worse when the boys could only PANTON HILL We were in the unusual position last week of being the home team but playing on the opposition’s home ground. SENIORS: West had come to play and led for most of the first quarter as we turned the ball over too frequently. We tried to lift in the second quarter but still couldn’t get our game going. It was the efforts of Jeremy Gercovich at full back and Tim Duckworth that kept us in the game. However, things started to go our way in the third quarter with Joffa Byron moving forward and kicking goals as well as Ryan Byrnes slotting a couple in his first senior game of the year. Simon Amore and Tyler Scarce provided the run through the middle and Daniel Keen started to come into the game. We cruised in the final quarter to finish with a 68-point win. RESERVES: Needed to bounce back after a couple of losses and with some changes in the side were able to assert their dominance from the start. Nathan Grimshaw played his first game since early in the season and was named best. Matt Layt thrived in the conditions on the wing with sweeping support from Simon Gunn. Lucas Groves was the key forward with six goals. A vital game today against Reservoir. 46 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record score one point against second-placed St Mary’s last week.

NFL. ORG. AU 47 Division 3 HEIDELBERG WEST Today we welcome Thomastown to Heidelberg Park for the first time since 2008. SENIORS: Last week was a game of two halves that left everyone scratching their heads. The first half was sensational with our pressure and commitment at season-high levels, leaving us just a kick behind the premiership favourites. However, we were not able to produce those levels in the second half. As our run started to dry up so did opportunities to score and Panton Hill capitalised, blowing the match wide open. If we bring the same effort for four quarters this week the four points will be ours for the taking. Once again the same names were in the best and it’s time to see a few new names step up over the final weeks of the year. RESERVES: Our first and third quarters were a positive and a strong reminder that we can play some great footy when we play to Dave’s instructions. Best players were Granty, Gunners, Wambeek, the President, Shelts and Jase Butera. The coaches have had some headaches at the selection table of late with injuries taking their toll and the numbers to select a side from have been low. We need our reserves to commit strongly for the THOMASTOWN In one of the biggest days of the year so far, Watsonia came to the Bears’ Lair in a battle for the top echelon of the ladder. The results were very mixed. SENIORS: A week is a long time in footy. Having ground out a hard-fought victory the week before, we came into the game against Watsonia full of confidence. Yet, once again, we let ourselves down badly. There was perhaps only one quarter where we played the way we wanted to. Now we find ourselves back in the pack with a lot of work to do. It’s in our hands….. RESERVES: The battle for top spot was always going to be a tough encounter. We toughed it out across four gruelling quarters and, to the boys’ credit, came away with a resounding seven-goal victory. However, there is still much work to do. In a competition as tight as this one, there is certainly no room for complacency and plenty of room for further improvement. NETBALL: Yet another great week for the netball girls as they make their late-season charge. Both the A and B teams had big wins. Well done, girls. As always, please keep up the support of the ladies every Friday night. 48 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record remainder of the year and the only way to achieve this is by getting strong numbers back on the training track. WARRINGAL HAWKS: Another challenge ahead for our youngsters coming up against Diamond Creek. The boys continue to develop each week and we have had five players receive opportunities at senior level with another five players getting a taste of reserves football at different stages of the season. Best of luck boys. FUNCTIONS: The club’s next social function is Bogan Bingo on the July 6. It’s Bingo with balls! The cost of entry is $25 per person or $200 for a table of 10. The night is hosted by the Bingo Bogans themselves and there will be prizes for the best dressed bogan, raffle prizes and a silent auction. HWFC APP: You can download the Teamapp from the App store.

ROUND 11 PLAYER SPONSORS: Josh Bullock is sponsored by Wayne Game. GO HAWKS! JUNIORS: The under-15s suffered a narrow defeat last week after being in front for much of the game. Despite that, they have another opportunity to cement a top-two against Eltham this week. Meanwhile, the under-11s and under-9s continue to do the club proud with their dedication. SOCIAL NEWS: Our next function is the Gents Night on Saturday, July 6 after our home game against Reservoir. Cards, drinks, food and entertainment throughout the night. This promises to be another great night at the Lair. Tickets are just $35 and available for pre-purchase or at the door. SPONSOR OF THE WEEK: This week’s sponsor is Ralph D’Silva Holden.

NFL. ORG. AU 49 Division 3 WATSONIA A great win by the boys over Thomastown in a back and forth contest full of highlights. SENIORS: There was a couple of late withdrawals, with Hoddoz and Coop pulling out in the morning. This allowed Brodermatt to come in, whilst Eldon came back into the side after his extended stay at the couples retreat with Macca. By all reports, Shane thought he would still receive his pay check if he withdrew on the morning of the game. The Decoy again managed to lead the goal-kicking and again he stood on some blokes shoulders just for fun. The speccies are actually getting a bit repetitive Jezza, so maybe start trying to add some more moves to your aerial repertoire. I owned a trampoline as a kid so I’d say I’m more than qualified to teach you a few moves and Hoddoz can surely share some of his fly-kicking expertise. Doorknob struggled and played himself forward in the last quarter in an effort to get a kick, giving away one of the ugliest push in the backs ever seen. RESERVES: Ugly. In the top of the table clash we were definitely outdone for skill and composure – two words not often associated with Division 3 reserves. Clarkey played well, reminding us of that other time he played a PARKSIDE The boys will be looking to make it two on the trot they travel to Watsonia. SENIORS: Great team effort last week with the boys coming back to get the win after being challenged by St Mary’s. Jamie Gresham was a big inclusion and with Muir and Nick back from injury the side looked a lot more healthy than it has in previous weeks. Another big game today against the division’s big improvers. RESERVES: A tough day at the office last week with the side severely undermanned. We had a special visit from Raf at training during the week and although it’s hard to work out what his going on about half the time, the boys have all got new nicknames which should hold them in good stead today. A few new faces today should see the side put in a more competitive performance. SOCIAL: Thanks to Alber for selling raffle tickets last week. His enthusiasm led to record sales and he even offered some tickets to the St Mary’s coaching staff during the game before being told what he could do 50 THE NORTHERNER — The Northern Football League Record good game. Jimmy Harris was another who produced the goods, however he let all his hard work go to waste when the waaahmbulance had to get him off the ground. UNDER 19: The young fellas played Warringal and did the job easily. Tom Bowman had a tough day at the office making mud pies in the back half, whilst Patty Crough continued his good form jagging six. My man Sutho had another cracker and is surely knocking on the door for senior selection. Rodbox was named best afield despite not affecting the scoresheet, which makes me suspicious. SOCIAL: Team Google – led by Mick and Dougie – represented the footballers with pride, winning the Netball Club Trivia. Tonight, one-time Watsonia dummy spitter Kamo will be taking on Brock Lesnar in his first amateur boxing fight in Lilydale. PLAYER PROFILE Name: Graeme Hines Official Title: People’s Captain Nickname(s): Hinesy, Binesy, Stynesy, Graeme Preferred Position: One-out at Barry’s Playing Style: Awkward Fashion Style: Mum’s Dresses with the tickets. The club’s joint number one ticket holder and new twitter troll the Wiz got a bit ahead of himself after watching the Lions great come from behind victory. He got stuck into Premiership player Cameron Mooney on Twitter and after getting a reply back has been walking with a bit of a strut ever since. Hopefully he has come back down to earth today and stops picking fights on his keyboard. TRIVIA NIGHT: Trivia night is tonight so make sure you get down to the Grandview from 7:30pm for what will be a great night. It’s $50 per person which includes entry to trivia, beer, wine, soft drink and nibbles. Noodles, the triple threat, will be hosting the night and will be showing off all three of his talents. Tables of eight to ten so make sure you get in early. LADIES NIGHT: Ladies night is just around the corner with some big name acts confirmed from both teams for July 13.

Australians spend more than $500 million a year on bottled water, which is not only putting greater strain on the environment, it’s an expense we can easily avoid. Melburnians are rightly proud of our tap water, which is primarily sourced from protected natural catchments and requires very little treatment before we drink it. Medical experts agree that people should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day - more if they have been exercising or outdoors. So be healthy, Choose Tap!

AU 53 EPPING Club Sponsors EPPING FOOTBALL CLUB Proud sponsors for 2013 Whistle Whispers Race 9 at The Meadows was the feature race with the race being named Northern Umpires and the favourite won convincingly. Clearly that didn’t seem to excite former goal umpire coach Shane Herbert who was caught falling asleep during the night. A few of us should have taken that idea and called it an early night to cut back on the losses. Spectators at Thomastown may have thought they were in a senior citizen’s centre with the average age of the A-Grade panel being around 60. Old age may have slowed down their reaction time with Ross Dodd being hit by the ball, Tony Mahony being clean up by a player and George Smith falling over. Be careful guys, at that age it has been said bones can become fragile. Milestone, milestones, milestones they’re coming at us thick and fast with three major milestones in the past few weeks. Liam Lenten reached 200 two weeks ago, Brian Moore reached 250 A-Grade games at Lower Plenty last weekend and this weekend we have Daniel Philp reaching 100 A-Grade games. Numbers have been crunched and audited to make sure it is 100 this week and not last week as he is trying to make us all believe. Congrats on the achievement everyone. SOCIAL NOTICES: Following on from the successful dinner to celebrate the 300 A-Grade Game milestones of five of our umpires in 2012, this year we are going for Round 2 on Saturday, July 27 to celebrate Terry Maher’s 600th A Grade, Adam Walker’s 300th A-Grade and Liam Lenten’s 200th A-Grade. It will be at Garvey Pavilion from 7:30pm. $20 a head includes a sumptuous 2 course meal. This event is open to all current and past umpires, particularly anyone who has umpired with our guests of honour over their journeys. As this is a catered event, final numbers are required by Wednesday, July 24. Please complete the attendance sheet under the noticeboard at training, or email nua@umpires.org.au.
