The club was well represented with 4 boys being nominated as in the best three players in their respective divisions which in itself is a fantastic achievement. Ashley Krakauer won the U13 East (Top Division) Best & Fairest award which means Ash is arguably the best player amongst all his peers across the southern region. Well done Ashley. Harrison Braun was announced runner up in the U14 Division 4 competition which is well deserved result for Harrison and he can be extremely proud of his contribution to the U14 Jets this season in getting them to a Preliminary final. Nick Lewis was 3rd in the U16 Division 1 competition which also was a great result as our U16s won only a handful of games so Nick’s work in the mid field earnt him high praise from the men in white. Mende Mochkin had an outstanding season in the U17s and was awarded best and fairest amongst his U17s peers across 15 teams. Mende won by 6 votes which is an unbelievable result as he was up against several players who have already been selected in TAC lists for Sandringham Dragons and Oakleigh Chargers. Well done Mende on an outstanding season. This was a fantastic night for the club and all four boys are to be commended on their outstanding efforts and we wish them all a hearty mazel tov.

The Jackas made easy work of Old Camberwell on the weekend, dominating from the first bounce to win 28.16.184 to 10.5.65. With everything on the line in their do-or-die clash against Old Camberwell, the Jackas came out firing in the first term, slotting eight goals to two. From there on it was all precision for Ajax, who had the game over at half time with an 82 point lead. Jake Lew was the standout of the day as he kicked nine, with David Fayman and Warren Steinberg adding three each. Before Steinberg went forward in the second half, he was dominant out of defence, along with Rubin Winograd and Nick Marks, and Marcus Jankie was courageous all day in the midfield. Youngster Adam Caplan started the flurry with a clever rove and Weekly Wrap + Results - Semi Finals snap for the first major of the day; however, it was Lew who started like a house on fire, as he kicked four for the quarter in an incredible display. Fayman not only kicked two majors himself, but also assisted Lew with two of his, and Marcus Jankie had close to 10 possessions for the quarter, which included numerous clearances and inside 50s. Routman also got the crowd fired up with an exciting goal as he danced around his opponent, and at the first break the Jackas led by six goals. Coach Bernie Sheehy commended his team’s effort at the quarter time huddle, but still wanted them to “keep going in hard at the ball and laying those tackles”. The second term was no different to the first, as the Jackas slotted the first four goals through Lew (2), Winograd and Ari Lewski. The Jackas had all the play with their dominance in the midfield, and the composure that was lacking in the first week of finals, was evident in not only the second quarter, but throughout the whole game. Old Camberwell got a goal against the run of play, but it counted for nothing as Jarrod White, Fayman and Marks slotted the next three of the term to take the margin out to over 13 goals at the main break. Sheehy acknowledged that his team did “all the right the things” in the first two terms, and urged them to “go out with the same energy as the first half”. Old Camberwell came out with a bit of fight in the second half, as they started the term kicking three goals to AJAX courtesy of Ari Lewski’s one. Yet, the Jackas continued their domination, slotting the next four of the quarter, as Jason Israelson hit a five minute purple patch with two goals within minutes, and Marks and Lew added the other two majors. Even though Old Camberwell managed to kick the last of the term, the Jackas still had a commanding 14 goal lead at the final break. At three quarter time, Sheehy merely told his men to continue their good form, and “go long and direct to the forwards”. After Old Camberwell kicked the first of the last term, Steinberg stepped up to kick three goals for the quarter, and despite conceding another two, the Jackas were still able to blow the final margin out to 119 points. Daniel Freed and White kicked truly, as the Jackas ran away with a convincing victory that will no doubt give them great confidence going into this week’s grand final. Sheehy recognized the efforts of a number of players including M.Jankie, Lew and Steinberg, and put the win down to being “much stronger around the contests and running the ball well across the field”. Now with a huge task ahead of them at the same venue on Saturday, the Jackas will have the opportunity to win both the seniors and reserves premierships, in what would be a terrific achievement by the club. A big crowd is expected for the massive double-header, and hopefully the support from the Jackas faithful will get both sides over the line.
