1 N ARRE Warren is the first club to hold a premiership cup after last week s wonderful victory over a gallant Langwarrin side in the MPNFL Colts competition. The game was a great spectacle under lights at Seaford and another tick for both the Colts grade and also the demonstration of support by the local football public. This Saturday we turn our focus to Frankston Park where the finale to the Nepean League competition will be played out. The senior game between minor premiers Sorrento and challengers Somerville will highlight the day, preceded by the reserves and under 18s curtain raisers. One of the challenges faced by all finalists in all grades to date has been the persistent wet and windy weather and the effect that has had on playing conditions. Last weekend there were implications for both Nepean and Casey Cardinia League finals. Play was delayed at Rye while damage to the playing surface was repaired and players and officials are to be commended for pushing on and completing the game. Similarly, plans for semi-finals games at Berwick on Saturday were forced to be changed at the last minute after the ground was deemed too wet to play on and switched to Pakenham. While it was disappointing such a move had to be made, it was received well and the weekend crowd at the Casey Cardinia League finals was not affected and in fact was up on last year. That is a tick for the support that the football following public in the area provides across the district. The MPNFL will continue to be vigilant as far as providing the best possible conditions within our control for finals games to be played.

Office Talk Clubs are now winding their seasons up and that is an important part of the preparation for next season. Many will be looking for new committee members for 2011 and also coaches to replace on-field leaders who are moving on. It is often called the silly season and the focus for those in charge must be to complete the legal and constitutional requirements of their clubs, in particular on their finances and auditing, and then conduct any and all business in a professional and open manner. The MPNFL is proud of the people who have put so much time and effort in to running our clubs and the integrity with which they have conducted themselves throughout the year. Respect is the key element here. Finally, congratulations to all individual award winners who were presented at this weeks MPNFL Vote Count evenings. There were some very exciting counts and it was generally agreed that the umpires got it right with the winners and those who performed well throughout the year. The evenings were a great success again and particular congratulations for all who attended and represented their clubs with pride and respect. The behaviour and attention given to the callers and the winners of awards throughout the night was excellent, and demonstrated the professional attitudes now being promoted through clubs from the top down.

3 Nepean League Finalé Today brings the curtain down on the Nepean League season when the all conquering Sorrento again comes up against the reborn Somerville team for the right to hold the Premiership Cup. It is like ground hog day for the Eagles as they have had to get over Red Hill twice and now face favourites Sorrento for the second time hoping this time for a different outcome. As indicated a couple of weeks ago these teams last played in a Grand Final way back in 1940 when the then named Somerville Baxter team overwhelmed Sorrento for a big win under Keith O Brien. Football of the late 30 s had gone through some transformation with the trial of district football which was abandoned in 1938, the emergence of the Baxter Football Club for two seasons before they joined forces with Somerville in The war in Europe was still a European conflict when Grand Final day came around after Somerville Baxter had defeated Navy and Sorrento who had come from fourth and only made the finals by percentage knocked over Seaford/Carrum and then Navy to play in the big one. The Teams Somerville George Bullen, William Gomm, Ron Armstrong, Hilton Armstrong, Harold Bullen, Peter Atherton, George Gomm, Ron Peterson, Len Perriam, Colin Murray, David Nillsson, Jack Woods, Keith Wagner, John Wotherspoon, Harold Thornell, John Sheffield, W. Williams, G. Philbrick, Keigh O Brien (capt) Sorrento Allan Peters (capt), Clarrie Jennings, Sam Wilson, Jack Watts, Percy Watson, L. Johnstone, K. Forsyth, H. Wilson, Jack Matthews, G. Druce, E. Cornford, R. Kiel, Norm Spunner, B. Wilson, G. White, Davies, Deacon, Jim Mc Gregor, B. Dickson The game was played in perfect conditions at Frankston Park in front of a huge crowd however the standard of play was below the standard of many home and away games. After an even first term Somerville did as they pleased with goals often coming so easy that it appeared that there was no opponent. The Bullen brothers were dominant and by half time the difference was Historians 47 points and appearing there was little chance of a Sorrento fight back. After the main break the Gulls tried hard and did bridge the gap to under 5 goals but a late surge snuffed out the thought of a comeback. The last was even but the damage had been done by an impressive Somerville team who had topped the ladder and now had the Standard Cup in their procession. Somerville held a presentation dinner in honour of Keith O Brien who after two years in the district had left to join the RAAF, the event was held at the Bullen s Packing Shed with the 1940 Premiership flag adorning Keith O Brien A typical day in the office (Let s talk) Next time you re thinking about how money can grow your agribusiness, call us.

4 Historians the wall. The evening was given to dancing and vocal items with the ladies providing a delicious supper, over 70 were present. Mr O Brien was presented with a money belt plus a separate memento from a relative of the Bullen family. The evening continued until a late hour and finally concluded with Auld Lang Syne and the National Anthem before wandering homeward satisfied they had helped celebrate a memorable occasion. Somerville 20 gls 11 defeated Sorrento 10 gls 15 Goals for the winners were G. Bullen 7, W. Gomm 4, R.Armstrong 3, H. Bullen 2, K. Wagner 2, W. Williams 2. For the losers B. Dickson 5, N.

Seaford have an overall 43 to 32 winning record over the Mounties and a big win in their last meeting two weeks ago, the dream should live on. Over in Casey Cardinia, Cranbourne take on Narre Warren in what is another do or die event, Cranbourne have to fight back after a shock loss last weekend whilst Narre Warren continue to deny the critics to become the best side in the last decade off the Casey League. Looking back at these teams since they first met back in 1954 they have locked horns 104 times with Cranbourne holding the advantage 58 to 46 and the same can be said of finals with the Eagles holding a 4 to 1 lead in the 5 encounters. In fact Narre have not beaten Cranbourne since the Grand Final of 1957 and that record is likely to remain intact. Doug Dyall MPNFL Historian Outside Broadcast Van Transported Courtesy of A.W.

7 CFNP Extended for 5 Years Facilities Planning, Partnerships & Participation! As you enjoy the finals atmosphere at the footy and netball today, take a moment to look at the facilities needed to put on the show. Notice the rooms needed for players to change, the playing field/court itself, the scoreboard, interchange and timekeeper facilities, social rooms, lights, posts and a large range of other necessary items. Many of these required facilities and infrastructure are in good shape; others are projects awaiting redevelopment or refurbishment. It is a costly exercise for these to be developed and then maintained and volunteers at clubs need some support to enable such facilities to reach their highest standard. Thankfully, the past five years has seen an unprecedented improvement in such facilities thanks to the Country Football Netball Program (CFNP). As of September 2010, close to 300 projects throughout regional and rural Victoria will have been allocated CFNP funding to the value of approximately $11.2 million with a combined project cost nearing $30 million! The CFNP was established in 2005 following a recommendation stemming from the Parliamentary Rural, Regional Services and Development Committee Inquiry into Country Football. Administered by Sport and Recreation Victoria, it has been an unmitigated success, due largely to the partnerships it has leveraged between local and state government and football and netball authorities, allowing volunteers at club level an opportunity and funding to implement some often long-held great ideas to improve their precinct. The Victorian State Government recently committed an additional $9 million to the CFNP through its Ready for Tomorrow: A Blueprint for Regional and Rural Victoria. This $9 million will grow to more than $10 million thanks to co contributions from the WorkSafe VCFL, the AFL and Netball Victoria and extends the CFNP for another 5 years. This is fabulous news of which the Work- Safe VCFL is extremely pleased and we again extend our appreciation to the State Government and the AFL for making the program possible. This extends the CFNP until the 2014/15 financial year and applications are now open (see link at our website for further information). Grants of up to $100,000 are possible to any one project, but keep in mind that an average grant is around $35,000. Clubs or umpiring groups need to first express their interest to their local Council on the CFNP Expression of Interest form and then Council can lodge an application if and when they are convinced of the project s merit. CFNP funded projects generally include: Modifying existing football or netball club pavilions/ facilities to improve usage and access; Development or upgrading football playing fields; VCFL Message Development or upgrading of netball courts; and Development or upgrading of lighting facilities. We have noticed some wonderful examples of projects, such as ground and water supply upgrades that droughtproof the surface, lighting to allow night football, better umpire facilities to cater for both genders, and many innovative change and social room improvements that help improve participation both on the field and between all people after on-field competition is over. An evaluation of more than 100 funded projects found that almost all CFNP projects assisted participation growth and made clubs more viable. Most also help the local economy and assisted club volunteers. The CFNP has also funded five premier regional venues to develop the basic amenities required to prepare venues to host future AFL preseason fixtures or, in some cases, to develop a premier quality regional venue for local fixtures. Venues funded to this level so far include Morwell, Shepparton, Ballarat, Horsham and Wangaratta. Other venues are expected to be invited in the coming years to help them reach similar status. The best projects seem to occur after some really good forward planning, such as the undertaking of a site master plan. Venues that do this not only have a much greater chance of attracting grants, but also end up with a venue that seems to have all facilities they need, in the right spot and at the right standard. If you remember just three words regarding facility planning and development, we believe they should be PLANNING, PARTNERSHIPS and PARTICIPATION. Take some time to get the PLANNING right first, ensure you are PARTNERING up well with your local Council and others, and focus on seeking funding for those facility improvements that will best impact PARTICIPATION levels at the venue, whether that be on-field or off. If you need advice or assistance regarding football facility planning and development, please do not hesitate to contact your respective Area Manager or our Planning, Facilities and Junior Football Manager Shayne Ward on (03) to help you and your club develop your ideas into tangible improvements. The WorkSafe VCFL are committed to improving all aspects of facilities, grounds, courts, etc to ensure our sports continue to be first of mind for those aspiring to be involved both on and off the field. Good luck to all involved in today s Grand Finals and lead-up finals and we feel for all Leagues and Clubs seriously affected by the current flooding crisis.

9 High Stakes Preliminary Final Sunday, September 12, at Frankston Park SEAFORD v MT ELIZA AH, we meet again... For the third time in the past month, Seaford and Mt Eliza will clash but this time there s no next week for the loser. The stakes are high. The winner will be off to the big dance, for a shot at the title. This is an intriguing contest given what s gone on in the first two weeks of the finals. When they last met, a fortnight ago, Seaford dished out a 75-point belting to the Redlegs. Many who saw the trouncing came away believing the Tigers were headed for glory, the Redlegs for obscurity. But the events of last weekend have prompted a serious re-think. Mt Eliza is suddenly back in favour after an eye-popping 77-point win over Chelsea, while Seaford hardly fired a shot and was stitched up by YCW. It leaves us asking questions. Has Mt Eliza turned the corner and is it finally ready to return to the top of the MPNFL after years of finals heartache? Can the star-studded Tigers summon enough energy and motivation to reach out and grasp a history-making fourth successive flag? Or is their reign as Kings of Peninsula football about to end? FORMLINE Seaford: WLWWL The Tigers looked a million bucks in the qualifying final but the spark was gone last week. In the wet they fumbled and hesitated. It was in stark contrast to their slick, skilful display the previous week. Ball magnet Aaron Walton cut the Redlegs to shreds 14 days ago and again looms as a key player. The dazzling Patty Cadd has troubled Mt Eliza in the past, as has Chris Fortnam, the Irving brothers and young forward Tom Shaw. Peninsula Preview Mt Eliza: WWWLW The Redlegs carry some serious momentum into this crucial clash. With their reputation on the line last week, they dug deep to post a stirring win. Notably, many of their prime movers regained confidence and form. David Willett was back to his goal-kicking, fistpumping, perky best. Plucked from the reserves, Sam Wettenhall added dash and drive while big Lyle House made his presence felt. LAST TIME Seaford 18.8 (116) d Mt Eliza 5.11 (41) in the qualifying final at Frankston Park on August 29. The Tigers smashed Mt Eliza by 75 points with a combination of relentless defence and eye-popping attack. A.W.

11 The Tigers backline suffocated the Redlegs forwards, so much so that Mt Eliza failed to score a goal in the second half. The Irving brothers, Brayden and Jarrod, nullified Grant Masterson and Scott Lockwood (two goals) in a brilliant defensive double-act. FAREWELL? Daniel Normie Clarke has decided to bring the curtain down on his magnificent career at season s end. The popular big fellow would love to extend it another week. There s also speculation that the brilliant Chris Fortnam is considering hanging up the boots. Fans, if this is the last time we see these two champions in battle, watch them closely. And enjoy. WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE WINNER Whoever advances to the grand final will almost certainly go in as underdogs, given YCW s dominance. But, as they say, you have to be in it to win it. There will be eight rival teams looking on enviously. An exciting week lies ahead. Dare to dream. THE LOSER The season s goal will have fallen a week short. There will be intense disappointment once the realisation of how close they d come hits. For some, it will be their last chance at a premiership. WHO WILL WIN AND WHY It s hard to forget Seaford s commanding win over the Redlegs two weeks ago. Four successive grand final appearances are rare; four straight premierships are unheard of in the MPNFL. The Tigers are playing for history. They have a chance. This must surely motivate them. The likes of Normie Clarke, Chris Fortnam, Dean Kemble, Damian McCormack, Kane Taylor, Jason Marsh, Michael Kraska and Ben Cadd are too good and proud to let this opportunity slip. Tigers by 42 In the Reserves... MT ELIZA S grip on the competition was loosened last week and today the Redlegs season goes on the line against a surging PINES. The Mounties won 17 of their 18 games before bombing out in their first finals appearance. They were kept to only three goals after quarter time in a worrying sign. PENINSULA Tipsters Peninsula Preview They ll need to conjure more zip if they re to stop Pines run. Getting better by the week, the Pythons crushed YC last week and you suspect their experienced campaigners will relish the chance to run around at Frankston again. For some, this may be their last chance at glory. Given a sniff, Pines might be able to pull it off and storm into a grand final. In the Under 18 s... LANGWARRIN was left with a bitter taste after being overrun in the second semi last week. Andy Johnson did his best to drag Langy over the line, drilling six goals in a best afield display, but it wasn t to be. The Kangaroos must back up and face an on-the-up FRANKSTON YCW. After scraping into fifth spot, the Stonecats have won two finals to charge into the second last week of the season. Ben Buckley, Adam Smrdel, Kevin Lylak and Zach Longham are just a few of their stars in recent weeks. Langy might have to too much polish. They d relish another shot at Mornington.

13 Stingrays into Preliminary final after strong win The Dandenong Southern Stingrays head to another TAC Cup Preliminary final after a strong 71 point win over the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup Semi final at Visy park, Carlton last Saturday. The Stingrays and Rebels both went into the game in good form following big wins. The Stingrays 64 point winners over the Oakleigh Chargers and the Rebels 100 point winners over the Murray Bushrangers last weekend. In very wet conditions after torrential overnight and early morning rain, the Stingrays were never troubled as they jumped out to a 3 goal lead early in the game and extended their lead at every change. Young stars Dylan Shiel and Adam Treloar were both in sparkling form with 10 possessions in the first term and the supply to tall forwards Tom Lynch and Arryn Siposs was first class as the both caused all sorts of grief to the rebels defenders. The second term was one of complete domination by the Stingrays as they kept the Rebels scoreless. At one stage in late in the second quarter the inside 50 s were 33 to 6 which epitomized the control of the game by the Stingrays. On top all over the ground with plenty of good work and pressure in the midfield, solid rebounding defense and an energetic multi faceted front half, the Stingrays extended the 19 point ¼ time lead out to 37 at the long break. The third term was the best quarter for the Rebels as they managed 3 goals but by late in the term the Stingrays had replied with 4 of their own to be 43 points ahead at the last change. Another 5 goals to the Stingrays to the Rebels one pushed the lead to 71 and with Stingrays a final inside 50 count of 75 to 32 it was a comfortable clinical display by the ladder leading Stingrays. Shiel and Treloar continued their good work and were assisted in the middle of the ground by Mitch Gent, Jake Greeley, Tom Curren, Brad Tagg and Luke Parker in a mid field that set up the good win. Lynch and Siposs were the dominant forwards on the ground and the Stingrays backline led by Riley Heddles, Matt Buntine and Jordan Kelly were impassable as the defended well and counter attacked with plenty of energy and speed. Next weeks Preliminary final has the Stingrays tackling the Calder Cannons in a 2009 Grand final rematch after the Cannons easily accounted for the Geelong Falcons in a bit of an upset. The game will be on Saturday at 11.30am Visy Park, Carlton and entry is free.
