3 FROM THE OVAL OFFICE The future of the VFL is secure New season promises more outstanding footy, better facilities and another night finale. There has been much discussion in the press lately about the future governance of AFL Victoria and its impact on the future of the VFL competition. I can say categorically that the VFL as a competition is fine and it will continue to be run by AFL Victoria. AFL Victoria is also very keen to secure the future of all the current VFL clubs. What has clouded the start of the new VFL season was the AFL s recent proposal to our members who include the VFL clubs and the other Victorian community leagues - at AFL Victoria s annual general meeting. The AFL s resolution was to alter our constitution, so that it became the sole voting member of the AFL Victoria board. This would have resulted in a significant change to the board s structure and the voting rights of members. The AFL s proposition required 75 per cent approval, but it failed to gain favour. As a consequence, there was a rotation of the directors up for election. Currently, we have five directors, of which I am one and Grant O Riley is the new chairman. We are in negotiations with the AFL about the make-up of the remaining four vacancies on the board. There is no reason to fear an AFL takeover or the introduction of an AFL reserves competition. I can safely say the VFL competition is alive and well and will continue to flourish. We can often get bogged down by everything that goes on around us, but our overriding love of the game never dies. The TAC Cup got away to a great start last weekend, highlighted by the launch of the TAC s new television road safety campaign featuring the TAC Cup. This weekend it s the VFL s turn, and what a fantastic season 2009 shapes to be. Stand-alone clubs Port Melbourne and Frankston were great last year and will again be very competitive. Bendigo has improved its depth, while Casey has changed its alignment to Melbourne and Sandringham to St Kilda, so it will be interesting to see how they both go. There have been a lot of positives that have come out of the off-season for the VFL, with improvements to several venues now underway. A funding partnership between the State Government, AFL, AFL Victoria and local councils has paved the way for important ground upgrades at Box Hill, Werribee and Sandringham, with Williamstown and Port Melbourne to follow. This will improve the facilities for players, coaches and fans alike. In an exciting move, Werribee s new lighting allows it to host a night game in round two. Enjoy the 2009 VFL season and ensure you mark in your diary our One night in September on AFL Grand Final eve, September 25, when the TAC Cup and VFL Grand Finals will again be staged at Etihad Stadium.

4 2009 PREVIEW Roosters prepare to defend crown After some big post-season player moves, 2009 will be an enthralling season. The North Ballarat Roosters will still be on a high after clinching their historic first VFL premiership last season with an emphatic 45-point win over Port Melbourne. But complacency is not part of the Roosters makeup and you can be sure coach Gerard FitzGerald will have primed his side to defend its premiership crown with the desperation and stingy defence we ve come to associate with North Ballarat. But there will be no shortage of challengers positioning themselves to knock the Roosters off their perch. Chief among them is Port Melbourne, which not only has the spur of avenging last year s Grand Final loss, but has also added some class to its already impressive list with former AFL players Adrian and Fabian Deluca, and Blake Grima. Williamstown, third last year, is another side that can be expected to push for a top-four spot, having covered the departures of Steven Greene and Callum Urch with former AFL players Chris Egan and Ben Davies. Then there is the Werribee Tigers (fourth last year), competition powerhouse Sandringham (which will be keen to avenge its poor 2009), last year s surprise packets Frankston (which will be guided by new coach and former North Melbourne star Shannon Grant), while Geelong has bolstered its ranks with the recruiting coup of the year, luring last year s J.J. Liston Trophy winner James Podsiadly from Werribee. With Tasmania s departure, the competition reverts to 13 sides 4 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au

5 Last year s premier North Ballarat celebrates its maiden VFL flag with fans in the middle of Etihad Stadium. and a weekly bye, with all sides playing 18 games in a 20-round home and away season. As always, the season will be keenly fought with so many evenly matched sides, while the competition the premier statebased league in the country again promises to showcase some of the best talent outside the AFL. It makes for an enthralling season. And to give you all the inside information on your side, the VFL Record has assessed each side s prospects, looking at its new faces and departures, and getting its coach s word on what 2009 holds. BENDIGO BOMBERS Status: Affiliated with Essendon Last year: 5 wins-15 losses Finish: 13th 2008 best and fairest: Hayden Skipworth Coach: Adrian Hickmott New: Darren Hulme (Clayton), Paul Scanlon (Seymour), Joel Malone (Maryborough), Ky Miller (Bally Park), Charles Slattery (Central District), Jamie Hackett (St Mary s), Simon Weekly (Sea Lakes) Damon Byrne, Jack Bowyer, Torin Petrie, Sam Mason, Owen Hone (all Bendigo Pioneers) Rookies: Christian Bock, Bryce Carroll, Thomas German, Kade Klemke, Rhys Magin, Michael Quinn What the coach says: With the recruiting of Scanlon, Malone and Hogg, Slattery coupled with the maturity of our younger players, I expect us to be very competitive. We have bigger, stronger bodies and that will make us more aggressive and give more confidence to the younger players. I expect us to be more competitive and not get pushed off the ball and be intimidated so easily, and hopefully that will be reflected on the scoreboard. BOX HILL HAWKS Status: Affiliated with Hawthorn Last year: 6-14 Finish: 11th 2008 best and fairest: Steve Kenna Coach: Brendon Bolton New: Adem Yze (Melbourne), Sam Iles (Collingwood), Marco Bello (Central District), Ed Curnow (Adelaide rookie), Phil Smith (Brisbane rookie), Lachie George (Tasmania), Ben Fagan (Tasmania), Hugh Sandilands (Hawthorn Former Melbourne champion Adem Yze will add to the Box Hill Hawks midfield strength this season. rookie), Leigh Kitchin, Dale Walker (both Eastern Ranges) Rookies: Luke Breust, Haydn Kiel, Riley Milne, Garry Moss, Carl Peterson, Will Sierakowski, Cameron Stokes, Matt Suckling, Tim Walsh Farewell: Digby Morrell (Strathmore), Ryan Breese (Lilydale), Cam Hunter, Alister Neville (both overseas), Nathan Batsanis (Port Melbourne) What the coach says: I m not focusing on what s happened in the past, I ve come with a totally fresh canvas with no preconceived ideas about any players. We have put in place a culture, that s been our primary focus over the preseason. We have a set of values and actions that we are going to hang our hat on. Hopefully, that will then start taking care of itself and we will get some results. We re definitely aiming for finals. CASEY SCORPIONS Status: Affiliated with Melbourne Last year: 12-9 Finish: 5th 2008 best and fairest: James Wall Coach: Peter German New: Pierce Liddle (Palmerston), VFL RECORD / 5

6 2009 PREVIEW Michael Stockdale (Gippsland Power), Nick Scanlon (Narre Warren), Peter Faulks (Sydney Swans), Glenn Chivers (St Kilda rookie), Matthew Moore (De La Salle), Andrew Oldmeadow (Collingwood VFL), Chris Clay (Calder Cannons), Rian McGough (Calder Cannons) Rookies: Rhys Healey, Daniel Hughes, Jordie McKenzie, Jake Spencer, Shane Valenti, Trent Zomer Farewell: Stefan Garrubba (Sandringham), Chris Dunne, Steve O Brien (both overseas), What the coach says: We re going to be a young list right from Melbourne down. Melbourne has obviously started recruiting for two, three, four years down the track. I think it s too early to say how our performances are going to pan out. All the players from the Scorpions and Melbourne have got to get to know each other, they ve been used to different players and coaches from different alignments. Building those relationships is going to take time. The quicker we can fast-track that the quicker we will see some quality performances. COBURG TIGERS Status: Affiliated with Richmond Last year: 12-9 Finish: 8th 2008 best and fairest: Greg Tivendale Coach: Jade Rawlings Thankfully, we have a pretty good chemistry between the two groups and we ve had some reasonable form going through the practice matches. 6 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au Tristan Cartledge has left Richmond and the Coburg Tigers, and will bolster reigning premier North Ballarat s ruck division this year. New: Tim Clarke (Hawthorn), Matthew Deledio (Kyabram), Jacob Hislop (Burnie), Ryan Allan (Morwell) Rookies: Andrew Browne, Alroy Gilligan, David Gourdis, Robin Nahas, Jarrod Silvester Farewell: Paul Shelton (Morningside), Fortunato Caruso (West Adelaide) What the coach says: With our strong Richmond list we re going to have a tough selection process, but we have to balance that with the Coburg boys. Thankfully, we have a pretty good chemistry between the two groups and we ve had some reasonable form going through the practice matches. We have turned over about 50 per cent of our list. We think we will again be competitive, but where that takes us is something only time will tell. COLLINGWOOD Status: Stand alone Last year: 6-14 Finish: 12th 2008 best and fairest: Justin Crow/Brent Macaffer Coach: Gavin Brown New: Damien Peverill (Essendon), Brett Mahoney, Adam Boshevski, Jamie Sheehan (all Murray Bushrangers), Pat Hayes (Calder Cannons), Tim Hunt (Geelong Falcons) Rookies: Johnny Bennell, Jarryd Blair, Kevin Dyas, Tristan Francis, Lachlan Keeffe, Scott Reid, Toby Thoolen Farewell: Nigel Carmody, Paul

7 Licuria, Justin Crow (all retired) What the coach says: We have lost a few experienced players, but hopefully we ll see something from these young exciting kids. Last year was really important to get under our belt and this year I believe it will be a lot more streamlined. Our VFL list is stronger and our AFL-listed first-year players are very promising. At times last year we weren t very competitive, but I m confident that we will be much more competitive this season. I d be pretty disappointed and surprised if we weren t. FRANKSTON Status: Stand alone Last year: Finish: 6th Former Essendon star Damien Peverill is now a VFL Magpie. Former Werribee Tigers skipper James Podsiadly is the new Geelong captain best and fairest: Marcus Marigliani Coach: Shannon Grant New: Shane McDonald (Bonbeach), Scott Sienkiewicz, Michael Hibberd, Matthew Clark, Aaron Purves (all Dandenong Stingrays), Christian Ongarello (Frankston 06 list), Matthew Burns (Frankston 07 list) What the coach says: We have kept the core group of players that we wanted. We ve got a good mix of experience and we ve had a good crop of kids come down from the (Dandenong) Stingrays. We have a very young list, but it s a healthy list. There s a lot of work to be done and I think you ll find this is a very even year. If we can continue to get the improvement and development out of the players who have been there for a year or two and get some young players to come up and share the work load, hopefully we will be competitive. GEELONG Status: Stand alone Last year: 7-13 Finish: 10th 2008 best and fairest: Jason Davenport Coach: Dale Amos New: James Podsiadly (Werribee Tigers), Scott Beattie (Broadbeach), Jackson Sheringham (Werribee), Sam Hughes (Geelong Falcons), Paul Carson (Geelong West), Mark Corrigan (South Barwon) Rookies: Tom Allwright, Ranga Ediriwickrama, Jeremy Laidler, Brodie Moles, Shane Mumford, Adam Varcoe, Bryn Weadon Farewell: James Byrne (retired), Jason Davenport (Port Adelaide), Jay Cheep (Woodville-West Torrens), Drew Barnes (Yarrawonga) What the coach says: It s pretty clear and sits pretty comfortably that the priority is making sure we prepare the players as best we can to play senior football. We are more focused on getting the process right than the result. But that s not to say we can t have success at the same time. We re looking at the success being a by-product of what we do. I m sure if we educate our players and have them playing the right brand of football success will follow. NORTH BALLARAT Status: Partially aligned with North Melbourne Last year: Premiers Finish: best and fairest: Michael Searl/Matthew Sharkey Coach: Gerard FitzGerald New: Clinton Benjamin (Carlton), Tristan Cartledge (Richmond), Ryan McKenzie (North Ballarat Rebels), Lucas Boyd (Geelong Falcons), Cam Richardson (North Ballarat City), Jason Linke (North Ballarat Rebels) Rookies: Cruize Garlett, Marcus White Farewell: Blake Grima (Port Melbourne), Daniel McConnell (EDFL), Robbie Tarrant (Werribee Tigers) What the coach says: We have only lost one player from our VFL list and that s something we focused on. Our philosophy was on the retention of our list rather than replenishment. We have challenged our players individually to reset their goals. Our improvement still has to come from within, that s our model down here. We re working harder on the individual in a bid to make the group collectively better because we know we have got to be better. VFL RECORD / 7

8 2009 PREVIEW NORTHERN BULLANTS Status: Affiliated with Carlton Last year: 7th Finish: best and fairest: Jason Saddington Coach: David Teague New: Jarrod McCorkell (Warrnambool), Wes Bailey (West Adelaide), Ben Power (Northern Knights), Jason Saddington (Carlton), Ben Power (Northern Knights) Rookies: Greg Bentley, David Ellard, Jeff Garlett, Lachie Hill, Sam Jacobs, Aaron Joseph, Darren Pfeiffer, Luke Stanton Farewell: Josh Vansittart (overseas), Matthew Lappin (retired), Paul Colbert (Seymour) What the coach says: Making the finals is a definite aim for us. We have the luxury of having very good depth on the Carlton list and that will definitely help us. The games against the VFL stand-alone clubs and the finals where the Rule comes into play are really going to challenge us, but we have some good young kids who have been with us for two or three years now and they are getting to the stage in their careers where they can really make an impact at VFL level. PORT MELBOURNE Status: Stand alone Last year: 18-5 Finish: 2nd 2008 best and fairest: John Baird Coach: Gary Ayres We think we have improved our development group with getting some really good youth into the club. 8 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au New: Luke Casey-Leigh (Collingwood VFL), Adrian Deluca (Carlton s 2007 list), Fabian Deluca (Port Adelaide), Blake Grima (North Melbourne), Nathan Batsanis (Box Hill), Phil Raymond (St Kilda City), Billy Burstin (Oakleigh Chargers) Farewell: Luke Livingstone (retired), David Spriggs (Old Brighton), Luke Cotchett (Vermont), Robin Nahas (Richmond), Kurt McGlynn (work), Matt Pearce (Avondale Heights) What the coach says: Hopefully, we have improved enough over the summer with our recruiting. We think we have improved our development group with getting some really good youth into the club. I believe this group wants to do well. I have a lot of respect and admiration for them and I believe there is a good chemistry among them, but it s not going to happen if we think it will. It s about working harder than ever before to get to a similar situation. SANDRINGHAM Status: Affiliated with St Kilda Last year: 8-12 Finish: 9th 2008 best and fairest: Andy Biddlecombe Coach: Andy Lovell New: Stefan Garrubba (Casey Scorpions), Ricky Ferraro (Dandenong Stingrays), Brett Eddy (Foster), Simon Clarke (Geelong VFL 06 list), Jarryd Allen, Jarryd Robertson, Keiffer Smith-Cameron (all Sandringham Dragons) Rookies: Zac Dawson, Steven Gaertner, Khan Haretuku, Brad Howard, Sam McGarry, Blake McGrath, Luke Miles, Tom Simpkin, Ross Tungatulum Farewell: Chad Liddell (Tooradin), Ezra Poyas (St Kilda City), Chris Lamb (retired) Former North Melbourne spearhead Nathan Thompson will bolster Werribee s attack. Ben Davies returns to Williamstown after a year with North Melbourne. What the coach says: We have lost three big ones, great VFL players with eight premierships between them, but we still have a strong core VFL list. We were disappointing last season. The stats were pretty damning. After round nine we were 6-3 with the best percentage and we ended up winning only two more games for the season. We didn t have much stability in the second half and we were losing all the close games. We have freshened the list, we re confident we can really improve this year a bare minimum is to play finals football.

9 WERRIBEE TIGERS Status: Partially aligned with North Melbourne Last year: 4th Finish: best and fairest: James Podsiadly Coach: Simon Atkins New: Nathan Thompson (North Melbourne), Marty Pask (Amateurs), Tim Bongetti (Tasmania), Daniel Boyle (Port Adelaide rookie), Chris Kangars (Geelong rookie), Brant Dickson (Williamstown), Robbie Tarrant Jason Saddington has joined the Northern Bullants after retiring from the AFL. (North Ballarat), Will Martinello (Murray Bushrangers), Josh Bryce (Murray Bushrangers), Jarrod Risol (Gippsland Power) Rookies: Luke Delaney, Connor Meredith, Alan Obst, Ben Speight Farewell: James Podsiadly (Geelong), Jarrod Young (Port Magpies), Josh Eddy, Jason Sheringham (both Geelong Football League) What the coach says: Our recruiting last year was based upon strengthening our list, which is the second year we have focused on redevelopment. We were clear that we needed to get some really We were clear that we needed to get some really good, talented youngsters to our list and I m really happy with the recruiting we ve done good, talented youngsters to our list and I m really happy with our recruiting. After the setback we had at the end of the year (James Podsiadly leaving) we can t take a backward step this year. We need to again make the eight and continue with our progression. WILLIAMSTOWN Status: Affiliated with Western Bulldogs Last year: 16-7 Finish: 3rd 2008 best and fairest: Brett Johnson/Liam Picken Coach: Brad Gotch New: Chris Egan (Collingwood), Ben Davies (North Melbourne), Jordan Florence (Bendigo Pioneers), Xavier Gotch (Oakleigh Chargers), Dylan Joyce (Calder Cannons), Mark Weekes (Oakleigh Chargers) Rookies: Jamason Daniels, James Mulligan, Chris Ogle, Liam Picken, John Shaw, Henry White Farewell: Steven Greene (Amateurs), Callum Urch, Kain McKenzie, Jackson Barling (both Maribyrnong Park), Adam Cook (Wodonga) What the coach says: Although we have lost some experience, I still think we look pretty solid. We re very excited about the season, we think that we have a lot more improvement to make on last year and we weren t that far off it. We just haven t peaked at the right time the past couple of years. I don t think we are far off. VFL RECORD / 9

10 VFL INTERVIEW UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT Peter Schwab The VFL Record puts the tough questions to AFL Victoria CEO Peter Schwab on the immediate and future challenges facing Victorian footy. VFL Record: Much has been made recently of the AFL wishing to take over the VFL. Is there any truth in those suggestions? Peter Schwab: It s simply not true. There was a vote at the AFL Victoria annual general meeting about a resolution to change the constitution so that the AFL would be the voting member of AFL Victoria. All members, not just VFL members, voted and that vote did not support the resolution. VFLR: Now that it s been resolved, what is the situation? PS: Really, it s business as usual. We will operate under the same constitution, same membership agreements as we have previously. There was never going to be a problem for the VFL anyway. AFL Victoria has control of running the VFL competition and that was never going to change. There was no threat to the VFL. VFLR: Will the AFL take control of the VFL in the future? PS: I wouldn t think so. VFLR: How do you see the VFL s long-term future? PS: It s no different to 12 months ago. The competition is always going to be impacted upon by what happens at AFL level because of the number of Victorian-based AFL clubs. The biggest concern becomes the increasing size of AFL playing lists, for me that s the major concern. Currently, AFL lists are at 46 and that does put pressure on alignments in many areas, especially team selection and giving opportunities to non- AFL listed players. It is something we have to be very careful of. VFLR: What is the latest with the AFL second-tier recommendations? PS: One suggestion is to have a stronger partnership between the VFL and the TAC Cup clubs, and now we have a partnership agreement. It just formalises the arrangement the clubs have, and how they can help each other and work closer together. The funds that have gone towards redeveloping the VFL grounds have also been a positive. We have also looked at benchmarking the competition financially, comparing how each individual club fares in each category. We also would like the clubs to forge closer and stronger relationships with their local councils. We also have a veto on all VFL licences. VFLR: How concerning is the financial status of some clubs given the prevailing economic conditions? PS: It s an ongoing concern for any club at any level. There s no doubt it is a tough market for everyone. I d say most clubs would be struggling in sponsorship and in generating income from their supporter bases. At this stage, Really, it s business as usual. We will operate under the same constitution, same membership agreements. we don t have a club putting its hand up and saying, We re in a diabolical situation, but certainly we will continue to monitor the situation. Every club has put in a budget for the year and I haven t heard a club that is not tracking well against its budget. VFLR: Is AFL Victoria in a position to support clubs that find themselves in trouble? PS: We do support clubs financially. Part of the review is to look to how we can best help and what can we afford. We also have other business community football, game development, talented player pathways to consider in our budget. What we have to ensure is the future of the 10 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au

11 of the competition benefited from what we did. From that point of view, it was a good result. Also, it was good to be able to play on an outstanding ground and the clubs appreciated the opportunity. From that perspective it was a success, but we still have to make money from putting a game on at such a venue. We have committed for another 12 months and we will see how it goes. VFLR: What lessons did you learn from the night Grand Final? PS: Timing. We won t have as big a gap between the end of the TAC Cup Grand Final and the start of the VFL Grand Final. We will also need to support the two Grand Finals with greater promotion. clubs that are currently in the competition. VFLR: Is there an identity issue AFL Victoria has to deal with in regard to the VFL given that for the second successive year it doesn t have a major partner? PS: I think that having no major partner is a spin off from the identity crisis and that s where it hurts us in the market place whenever someone refers to the VFL as the AFL reserves or the seconds, or it s perceived to be part of the AFL. It does create an identity crisis, which makes it difficult for us to have a product that is appealing and can be branded in a way that differentiates it from the AFL. Port Melbourne lines up before the 2008 VFL Grand Final at Telstra Dome, a game it lost to North Ballarat by 45 points. VFLR: It must be terribly frustrating given the standard of football in the competition has never been higher? PS: You re right. No one has ever complained about the standard of the competition. It is a good product in that sense. We would like to think there is someone, some company or government partnership out there that would benefit by partnering with the VFL. VFLR: How did you judge the VFL s Grand Final under lights at Etihad Stadium? PS: I think the profile and branding VFLR: There is a different approach from ABC TV this season with televised games scheduled on a match-of-theround basis, instead of each club being guaranteed a televised home match. Is that tenable? PS: The ABC is critical to us. The support it gives the competition is paramount. We spoke about its desire to televise under the best-fit model, having reference to where teams are on the ladder. We understand that and are happy to proceed that way. VFLR: What is the one issue AFL Victoria has identified that needs to be addressed in season 2009? PS: I think it is always the financial stability of the competition and to keep working with the AFL. Fundamentally, when the AFL make decisions such as list sizes with their own competition we have to be in there pitching to say, If you do this, it brings this potential outcome for us. Also, we have to forge to consolidate the competition and give some vision to it for the next three to five years. VFL RECORD / 11

18 IN MEMORIUM VALE Peter Stedwell A life in service of Victorian football Victorian football lost one of its finest ambassadors late last month with the sudden passing of Peter Stedwell. He was 66. Stedwell s contribution to football as a player, coach, administrator and director spanned nearly 50 years. After a serious knee injury cut short a fledgling career with Hawthorn s reserves, Stedwell proved a fine player in suburban and country football leagues, before he made his way to Dandenong in Stedwell s arrival at Dandenong coincided with the Redlegs finest period in the then VFA. Playing alongside Association legends Jim Frosty Miller, Eddie Melai, Rod Evans and Pat Flaherty, Stedwell played in two Dandenong premierships. Stedwell captained Dandenong in its 71 premiership success, perhaps the most controversial Grand Final in the competition s history. Miller was awarded a free kick before the first bounce and the Redlegs prevailed to win by six points. He played 130 games with Dandenong before returning to the country to captain-coach Cranbourne, but Stedwell would return to Dandenong to help out the club when they were on their knees in the early 1990s, taking over the presidency of the club. He would later become a director of the Victorian State Football League, then an AFL Victoria director, a position he held until last year. In 2000, Stedwell was awarded an Australian Sporting Medal for his services to football. Past AFL Victoria chairman Bob Tregear recalled Stedwell as a passionate football person who was admired by all. I never heard anyone ever say a bad word against Peter, Tregear said. He was a terrific fellow, commercially astute and with a wealth of football experience. He played at most levels of football. Peter may well have been a reluctant administrator. It s not something he sought out but found himself in, and felt he had a duty to do. Tregear remembers Stedwell and the late Graham Oborne, then the Williamstown Football Club president, meeting in the mid-1990s with then VFL CEO Ken Gannon about planning a Victorian state football league. He said Stedwell was a strong advocate of the VFA clubs forming the basis of any new competition. Tregear said Stedwell had been inducted as a VFL life member last month under the criteria that he rendered special service to the League or football in general. He described Stedwell as a very worthy addition to the VFL life members honour roll, as a person who selflessly gave his time to help football in the state. Peter will be sadly missed on many levels, Tregear said. AFL Victoria extends its deepest sympathy to Stedwell s wife Yvonne and sons Mark, Andrew and Justyn, and associated family. 18 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au

19 VFL WHAT S NEW Rules of the game have changed VFL to give TAC Cup players a head start in 09. In 2009, there ll be new rules, a new venue and four new coaches in the VFL, while Tasmania s departure means the return of byes and a drop in the number of games played by each side in the home and away season 20 to 18. Here, the VFL Record takes you through these and other major changes you ll notice this season. RULE CHANGES As part of the second-tier review, VFL team sizes will be increased to 23 players in designated VFL games during the 2009 season. The 23rd player can only be a TAC Cup player and there are restrictions governing his selection. In round three, a 19-year-old TAC Cup player or a 19-year-old in his first season out of the TAC Cup can be chosen by their aligned VFL clubs, while in VFL rounds nine-12 inclusive, clubs can select either a 19-year-old player or an 18-year-old player who is not representing his state at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. From rounds inclusive, clubs can select a 19-year-old player or any 18-year-old player. In other changes, the VFL has adopted two new rules the AFL introduced after trialling them in the pre-season NAB Cup and NAB Challenge games. The first deals with deliberately rushed behinds. Teams will be awarded a free kick if an opposition player, in the view of a field umpire, intentionally takes or carries the ball over the goal line. The other will see a 50-metre penalty awarded against a player who tackles, holds or makes high Former North Melbourne star Shannon Grant takes over as Frankston coach this season, one of four new coaches starting in the VFL. contact to opponents after they have disposed of the ball. VENUES North Ballarat will venture away from their home ground stronghold at Eureka Stadium and host a home game in round five against Bendigo at Stawell s Central Park. COACHES Four clubs the Box Hill Hawks (Brendon Bolton), Casey Scorpions (Peter German), Frankston (Shannon Grant) and Geelong (Dale Amos) have new coaches. BYE With the decision by Tasmania to withdraw from the VFL, there will be 13 clubs in the competition. As a result a club or clubs will have a bye each round. Also, the number of games each club plays during the home and away season will drop from 20 to 18, though the season will still run over 20 rounds. ABC TV Games televised by ABC TV this season will be selected on a bestfit scenario with an emphasis given to games involving sides at, or near, the top of the ladder. LIFE MEMBERS At its annual general meeting last month, AFL Victoria elected four new VFL life members. Former VFL chief executive officer Ken Gannon, ex-vfl general manager Martin Stillman and Preston stalwart Peter Weightman were all elected. Also, elected was Peter Stedwell, a premiership captain with Dandenong and long-serving AFL Victoria director. Sadly Stedwell died suddenly this month at 66 (see story on page 18). VFL RECORD / 19

20 GRAND FINAL Roosters take the VFL crown It was a historic night under lights for North Ballarat last September as it downed Port Melbourne to claim its first VFL premiership. ROOSTER ROMP: (1) North Ballarat coach Gerard FitzGerald and captain Shaune Moloney with the ultimate reward, the 2008 VFL premiership cup; (2) North Ballarat put Port Melbourne under relentless pressure all night on the VFL s biggest stage; here the Borough s Sam Pleming is tackled by Rooster Cruize Garlett; (3) Garlett (about to handball) also hurt Port Melbourne with his attacking work on the Roosters forward line, kicking a vital goal; (4) North Ballarat star Brett Goodes, who put in a typically strong performance on Grand Final night, looks to launch another Roosters attack. 20 / visit: victorianfootballleague.com.au

We all love a treat every now and then, whether it be a pie at the footy, fish and chips with the family, or an afternoon chocolate fix. As long as you are doing plenty of physical activity and eating healthy foods most of the time, it s OK to have a treat occasionally. Try to limit your occasional foods to twice a week.

46 TAC CUP WHAT S NEW It s a whole new ball game TAC Cup changes include a new interstate side and a return to its former finals system. Season 2009 brings with it a sea of fresh, young faces, a new interstate team, a host of firsttime TAC Cup coaches, some tinkering to recruiting zones, less byes and a return to the old finals system. Here s a look at the major changes we ll see in the TAC Cup competition this season. CLUB Gold Coast Football Club, granted a licence earlier in the month to be the AFL s 17th club in 2011, will take the field for the first time in this year s TAC Cup. Former West Coast premiership player Guy McKenna will coach Gold Coast, which will be playing for premiership points. Former Oakleigh Chargers coach Rohan Welsh takes over as Vic Metro coach in revert back to the traditional final eight play-offs over four weeks. Clubs that finish first through fourth will play in a qualifying final in the first week, with the two winners advancing to a preliminary final. The two losers will play the two elimination final winners. It s hoped the first three weeks of the finals series will be played at Visy Park, with the TAC Cup Grand Final again at Etihad Stadium on AFL Grand Final eve. COACHES Seven new coaches join the TAC Cup this season: Martin Allison (Calder Cannons), Damian Carroll (Gippsland Power), Guy McKenna (Gold Coast), Glenn Wilkins (North Ballarat), Denis Pagan (Northern Knights), Steve Grace (Oakleigh Chargers) and Dale Tapping (Sandringham Dragons). VIC METRO COACH Rohan Welsh, Oakleigh Chargers coach from , takes over the reins from David Dickson as Vic Metro coach. Rob Hyde will remain as Vic Country coach. NEW RULES The TAC Cup has adopted two of the new rules introduced by the AFL this season.the first deals with deliberately rushed behinds. Teams will be awarded a free kick if an opposition player intentionally takes or carries the ball over the goal line. The second relates to awarding a 50-metre penalty against players who tackle, hold or make high contact with an opponent after they have disposed of the ball. VFL As a way of enhancing and strengthening the talent pathway between the TAC Cup and VFL, TAC Cup players will be able to experience football in the VFL. In round three, a 19-year-old TAC Cup player can play as a 23rd player with their aligned VFL club. During rounds nine-12, 19-year-olds and 18-year-olds not involved in the national championships can play as a 23rd player. From rounds 13-20, 19-year-olds and 18-yearolds, including recent national representative players, can play in the VFL. FINALS After playing an abbreviated, three-week elimination final series last year, the TAC Cup will REGIONAL MANAGERS Bob Batty (Gold Coast), Ian Kyte (Calder Cannons) and Anthony Parkin (Eastern Ranges) are no strangers to the TAC Cup, but this season they re in different roles and, in Batty s case, at a different club. ZONES North Ballarat Rebels now have access to the area encompassing Warrnambool, formerly part of the Geelong Falcons zone. AFL High Perfomance Manager Anton Grbac said the shift comes after an analysis on the demographic and growth projections of both regions. TAC CUP RECORD / 29

47 DENIS PAGAN Legend joins the competition Pagan excited to pass on his vast experience and passion to his young Knights. Speak, even briefly, to Denis Pagan and passion is a word that immediately springs to mind. It s also a word Pagan often uses to describe his insatiable love of the game. And it s never far from the surface when the conversation inevitably turns to football. Passion, football and Pagan are inseparable bed fellows. It helps explain why one of the great modern-day AFL coaches now finds himself at the helm of the Northern Knights. Pagan admitted his time away from a hands-on football role last season the first year he could Two-time North Melbourne premiership coach Denis Pagan brings his experience and passion to the Northern Knights. remember not being involved with a football club was unusual I didn t have any structure in my life, Pagan said. I started my own leadership, team-building business, as well as doing some media work and writing some articles. I did miss it, but I m back in it and very keen to do what I do best. Not surprisingly, the dual North Melbourne premiership coach was in hot demand. Pagan received offers to coach interstate, both in Western and South Australia, and in the VFL. He said he chose the TAC Cup because he likened it to a mini- AFL competition. I ve put a lot of time and effort into it. I m very passionate about my football, I think there are a lot of good kids there and I just wanted to have some impact, he said. I just wanted to give something to a group of young men that could tack my passion and experience on to their ability, which would hopefully make it easier for them. While Pagan has come from a football environment where success is measured by wins and premierships, he now finds himself in a competition where the emphasis is on development. Is it easy to deal with such a significant change? I don t even worry about the result. If the right processes and structures are in place, and players learn and adhere to the fundamentals of the game, the result will usually take care of itself, he said. Still Pagan believes winning is a very important part of development. Meanwhile, being in an environment where there are no media distractions, players with different agendas or general unrest is something Pagan admits, with a chuckle, is very refreshing. Pagan said he s impressed how well the players cope with the competing demands of school, family and TAC Cup football. And is he excited? Very excited. I ve put a lot of time and effort into it. I m very passionate about my football, he said. If I can get better at what I m doing then terrific. If I can pass on my experience, values and passion to the boys it will be great for all of us. 30 / visit

48 MARTIN ALLISON Martin Allison has taken over as Calder Cannons senior coach this season. Allison in footy wonderland Cannons coach privileged to be involved in the country s elite under-age competition. Martin Allison reckons the football gods have smiled upon him. Four years ago, after a playing/coaching career in the then VFA and suburban football, Allison gained a position on the coaching staff of the Calder Cannons. Allison, a brother of former Coburg star and premiership player Brian, was chuffed just to work alongside TAC Cup legend Rob Hyde. He also fondly remembers players like Matthew White (now at Richmond), Mitchell Farmer (Port Adelaide), James Polkinghorne (Brisbane), Angus Graham (Richmond) and Darcy Daniher (Essendon) coming through the ranks during his early years with the Cannons. Last year, Allison found himself on Vic Country s support staff, coaching the side s midfield in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. And, now his career has taken off again, this time with his appointment as Cannons senior coach. I ve certainly landed on my feet and I think I have a terrific job, Allison said. I think I m pretty lucky. It (the TAC Cup) gets better and better each and every year, it is so professionally run. I ve always considered it a privilege to be involved in the TAC Cup, but now that I m head coach it s amazing. Each year, the Cannons find themselves in a similar position to the Oakleigh Chargers and Sandringham Dragons, each side having large numbers of private school boys whose school football commitments mean they are unavailable for stretches of the TAC Cup season. But Allison puts a positive spin on this, saying it will create opportunities for players who may not otherwise have the chance to play. Our depth is OK. We will find out how OK in the middle of the year when our private school and Vic Metro players are off doing their thing, Allison said. It s going to be a challenge, but challenges like that create opportunities for other players. And, what we have seen in the past in TAC Cup sides is that there are always three or four players that take a giant step up and make giant progress. Those players who might have been No. 35 on your list jump up to be No. 20. Allison views the Cannons as having a good blend of top and bottom-aged boys, something he is genuinely excited about. While the Cannons, like everyone else, will be strengthened when all their private school players are available, Allison sees other signs that the Cannons can return to the finals. We have some flexibility and we are a little bit better and stronger in defence than last year, he said. We are also looking forward to continued improvement from all those boys who played last year.
