PHIL STEVENSCHIEF EXECUTIVE

rMe VAFA's Executive Committee, the VAFA clubs and supporters join together OFFICERj this weekend to congratulate the VAFA Umpires' Association on the officia l

„jv ning of their clubrooms, which will take place at a luncheon before this Sunday's first semi final .

The building (pictured below), not only gives the umpires a home and a meeting facility . but it also offers aonderful incentive to prospective umpires thinking of joining the VAFA as an umpire .

On behalf of the VAFA, to the many who have been involved with the project . from the birth of the idea (1990)through to "coming of age" (this weekend) well done and may all VAFAUA members enjoy their new home for manyyears to come .

Could I refer readers to Umpires' Corner in this publication for a detailed report on the Umpires' clubroomswritten by Justin Toohey.

TRIBUNAL AND INVESTIGATIONSDURING THE FINALS

In regards to any matter arising from a round 18 or fmals match (except a Grand Final) which requires inves-tigation . that may result in penalty, the matter must be heard on or before the Thursday following the matchin which the matter is alleged to have occurred.

On most occasions this date will be the traditional Tuesday evening tribunal night . but as the CEO . I havebeen given the decision making power to determine the time of the hearing on or before the Thursday followingthe match - if the Tuesday evening is not appropriate for all parties .

This change from previous years is a result of a rule change approved by club members before this season .In regards to tribunal hearings, during the home and away season, if a reported player could not attend a

tribunal hearing because of work commitments the player was required to provide a statutory declaration statinga) he couldn't attend and an outline of the reasons why: b) an account of the matter to be heard by the tribuna l

A SECTIONby Jason Frenkel

It twisted and it turned; inched and crawled ; it tickledand it teased and, for some, it traumatised and ter-

rorised: but the A-section home and away fixture final-ly drew to a wonderful close last weekend to cap amemorable season .

Old Haileybury earn this week's honourable men-tion for a stirring finish to an inconsistent year - theBloods played some rousing football in its final twogames to farewell an era that produced some of theside's greatest players. Simon Meehan will not becoaching the Bloods next year, and a number of seniorplayers are expected to retire, leaving the club a daunt-ing task if they are to maintain their position in A-sec-tion in the future. But after missing the finals cut andseemingly headed for a disastrous end to the seasonOld Haileybury rediscovered its passion to producesome exciting football and at least stamp its influenceon the shaping of the four . With victories over the thirdand fourth placed sides in its last two games, and aconvincing thrashing of St . Kevins some weeks ago, theBloods will spend the summer pondering what mighthave been .

And so too will St . Kevins . who at season's closewere just 5% away from a finals berth . And they lookedlikely early in the year, but a long season took its tollon the SKOBS, and last weeks' game against Xavs wasalways going to be a head-ache. Tim Hart and the crewwill be disappointed to miss out : St. Kevins have beenquite insistent that nothing less than a finals berthwould be sufficient this year, but they should be heart-ened at their efforts in 1998 - few sides promoted fromB-section make much of an impaet, and most returnquickly whence they came .

Just ask Old B righton . who despite a muchimproved second half of the season . will find them-selves back in B-section after just one year in the elitegrade . The Tonners saved their best footy for late in theseason, and given the strength of their core group ofmedium-size and on ball players . A-section can expectto see them again shortly.

Co llegians will join Brighton back in B-section,drawing to a close a tremendous tenure as one of themost powerful amateur sides under the coaching ofLeigh Carlson . Carlson won't be at the helm next year- the Lions and A-section football will be poorer for hisdeparture - but its hard to imaging this strong club willbe kept down for too long . A promising crop of talent-ed youngsters are emerging from the Lions den, andthey'll be keen to return to their premier division assoon as possible.

De La Salle and University Blues make up thealso-rans, confirming . like they did last year. that theymight be good, but they're not good enough. On theirday . the Blues played with all the fluidity of a ragingriver, and seemed capable of overwhelming anyonewith their slick midfield work, while the Dees boasted

a playing list withsome of the most pol-ished performers inthe competition .Unfortunately for sup-porters of these two sides, the last two years have Ito see either capitalise on their potential, leaving eone to wonder at what might have been .

FINALS TI ME

Of course, the focus today should not be oralso-rans, but on the fantastic football that wiserved up to punters today as the season ptbegins . And what a match - an eliminationbetween Old Melburnians and Old Scotch . If thetwo meetings between these sides are any g<today's clash will be an exciting struggle to the wiitheir first meeting this year, at the Camberwell SIGround, the Redlegs withstood a final quarter Iback from the home side to hold on to a slender Ipoint win a low-scoring, but gripping, affair .Cardinals, of course, were merely rousing fromearly-season slumber at that stage of the year, ):••was a stronger Scotch side which led for most oday in their second encounter at the Junction iBut a frantic finish and an errant handpass cons]to hand Old Melburnians a gift-wrapped. 4-point Nry, and, perhaps, just the slightest hint of a psychical advantage for today's game.

On paper . there is very little to separate thes<sides . Both are strong in defence and strong irmiddle but the Cardinals may just have an edge iiforward personnel . Ellis and McMullin will have thof kicking a winning score for the Redlegs, but Topand Usienov can ease their load by chipping insome goals at ground level . There will be no shortatalent out on the field when the bell ringElsternwick Park today. A strong chance of takinlthe A-section best and fairest, Scotch defender R+Price is worth the cost of admission alone - his reaof the play, judgement, and approach to the contesexemplary, and he possesses the most prodigiousin amateur football. The Cardinals were ordinaryweek against the Bloods . the Redlegs likewise the,before : both will be keen to return to touch tcPunters with pace-makers beware - today'sshould be a heart-stopper. Cardinals by 4 points.

he B section finals series is a case of the old versu sthe new this year, rith debutants Marcellin an d

North Old Boys and Old Trinity and Old Ivanhoe mak-ing up the final four.

REVIEWLast round, Mareellin had to contend with sever e

weather conditions and a persistent Ivanhoe combina-tion before taking the points and the minor premier-ship . The Hoes were fired up for their last hit-out forthe year and took the lead in the first half . New forwardcombination . Pace and Saunders . with some momentsof deft improvisation, kicked three goals in the firstquarter and the Ivanhoe backline led by Hull-Brownwas closing down Marcellin spearheads Treganowanand Purcell . But the arrival of a severe hailstorm mid-way through the third quarter stung the Eagles intoaction . During the ensuing chaos which saw both goalumpires leave their posts and two players shelterbehind a tree . the Eagles proved they are the 'hail' spe-cialists of the competition . managing five goals by theend of the quarter to take a 23 point lead . Normalityreturned in the last quarter with the Eagles extendingtheir lead in a dour last quarter to win by 31 points .Ivanhoe's vote count will be held at the Hoes' club-rooms this Sunday afternoon . Presentation night atBanksia Receptions on September 18 . Contact RegMiles.

MHSOB beat Ormond in what turned out be aplayoff for fifth position after MHSOB grabbed a slen-der lead in the first quarter and continued to pull awaythroughout the game. Ormond kept up their pressurethroughout the day but were unable to matchMHSOB's more potent fonvardline . Ormond backmenJames. Gilmore . Marnow and Egan all worked hardand McConvill played well in the ruck . MHSOB fin-ished off a frustrating year with a win, with Saultry .McCully, Albergo and O'Brien amongst their best .

Old Ivanhoe move into the finals as the undis-putable form side, accounting for Old Paradians lastweekend. Old Ivanhoe set up the win with a four goalsecond quarter . which set up a matching winning lead.Old Paradians were competitive around the ground butlike most others who have played Old Ivanhoe in thesecond half of the year, found goals hard to come by.

In contrast, North Old Boys had to fight all day tobeta Mazenod and clinch their place in the finals .Mazenod made good use of a wind in the first quarterand kicked four goals in the first quarter with Horbanplaying well in the ruck and Hanley and Carter initiat-ing fonvard thrusts around the ground . However.NOB's took their turn with the wind and grabbed backthe lead kicking six goals with Jordan . Sleep . Collisonand MikUmda all prominent . A dying breeze and atighter NOB's defence kept Mazenod to just two goals

in the third quarterand NOB's maintaineda two goal lead . Thefinal quarter augurswell for the NOB' sfinals chances as they went on a goal kicking sprconverting seven goals for the quarter to run out cofortable winners .

PREVIEW

NORTH OLD BOYS V. OLD TRINITY, FIRST SEFINAL, ELSTERNWICK PARK

The two combatants could not have had more iferent home and away seasons with Old Trinity doinant in the first half of the season and disappointinlthe second half. Whereas NOB's have quietly gcabout their business at the middle of the table acmulating hard fought wins .

The game promises an interesting contest bet-,v(the more free wheeling style of Old Trinity versuscommitted and more defensive North Old Bovs .

Old Trinity at their best this year have beaopposition through their quality midfield set up zthe dominance of Ramsden in the ruck feeding itmain scoring options in Stickland and Heath .

Opposing them is the competitions' second me,est defence, North Old Boys' band of classy runnplayers in Jordan . Sleep and Booth and a muoptioned fonvard line led by Collison and Mikunda.

It is hard to split the teams with their head-to-himeetings balanced at one apiece . Old Trinity erui ;home on their first meeting at the Gillon Reserve ti~Stickland booting ten and in the second clash NOrecorded a comprehensive win at Old Trinity .

The form begs the question, which Old Trinity,turn up? At top form they appear to have too mtfirepower for the North Old Boys, they enElstermvick Park and have an exceptional finrecord . On the other hand North Old Boys have g(form leading into the finals and a game plan tseems less likely to break down under the intepressure of finals football.

If the NOB's can break even in the centre conteand keep Old Trinity forwards under control tlshould mark into the next round of finals action .

North Old Boys by 21 points .

ylBzenod - congratulations to Chris Murray on

by Russell Gould

It was an absolutely shocking day for footy onSaturday, and unfortunately it was the start of ou r

finals . Low scores were the order of the day in both theseniors and reserves, with a swirling breeze makinggoal scoring very difficult . But let's get into it .

Review - First Semi-final, St . Bedes Mentone Tigersv Hampton Rovers.

As previously mentioned the weather was horrible .As the siren blew to start the match . the alreadyswirling wind was joined by a brief hail storm, and thefooty very quickly became a bar of soap . Players strug-gled to handle the ball with any confidence, the Roversthough used the kick first policy with effectiveness . TheTigers were handling it too much, pushing handballs toone another as the Rovers pressured them all the way .

Few marks, if any were taken in the first term, andthe quarter time scoreline of 3 behinds to the Roversand one behind to the Tigers was evidence of the harshconditions .

In the second term though the Rovers again usedthe quick long kick to their advantage . They managedto get the ball inside their forward 50 more often andwith less effort than the Tigers, and they put on threegoals to one to take a very handy 14 point lead in to half

time .

The third quarter again proved a struggle. TheTigers tried in vain to break the Rovers backline, andthe Rovers did the same . All kicks were going widethanks to the wind, and the ball spent much of thequarter on the wrong side of the boundary line . Butwhen it was in play it was the Rovers were having thebest of things . Their small men were winning on theground, and one or two handballs and then a kick longwas again their ploy . The Tigers were starting to cottonon to this . but again the Rovers physical pressure sawthe Tigers rarely able to get a clearing kick away. TheRovers kicked another goal for the quarter and went into the final term up by 22 points .

The Tigers were going to have to kick at least fourgoals for the quarter to win the game, but had kickedonly one to that point and so had to score early . Theycame out wanting to win, and started to get enough ofthe ball to give themselves at least a chance . But againthey struggled to use their possessions effectively . A fewpositional changes got them on top and a couple ofgoals came to get them within 12 points . but once againthe Rovers . as they had done for most of the day, wonthe ball out of the middle, got a long kick away, andtheir ground level players ran onto the skidding balland put it through to get them clear again .

The Tigers managed to outscore the Rovers in thelast term, but they just gave them too much of a start .

In a game that lackedanything spectacular,but was an intensecontest for most of th eday, the Rovers managed the conditions better and rout 15 point victors to advance to the preliminary finand end the Tigers season.

Best players for the Rovers were Hobson aBrowne, who were two of the few players able to tamarks all day. McKellar who was the best small manthe ground, and Stephen Anderson who did all itkicking in to the forward line.

For the Tigers, Hayes was one of few who stood oZakic was good down back, as was Giaquinta . Rykicked 2 goals up fonvard and with Napier wereTigers only effective forwards .

Rese rv es First Semi-final, Beaumaris v OldMentonians .

This was another low scoring affair, with only thgoals kicked in the first three quarters of the matScrappy play was dominating, but again quick kiinto the forward line were the way to go. At three qr.ter time the Sharks were in front. 2.8 .20 to the 01 .1 .7 . But it was the latter who made the early runnin the final term . They booted the first goal to get win a kick, and then had a couple of more chances,were unable to convert. Beaumaris then hit back vthree quick goals . easily their best footy of the matclput the game out of the OM's reach, and they raneventual 18 point winners .

Preview - Second Semi-final, Beanmaris v OldMentonians,

First up lets hope the weather is better for this (and if it is right, this game looms as a real corker . Ttwo clashes during the year were great ones . Firstthe 0M's got up by 10 points, and in the return m~they squandered a huge early lead, the Sharks boo10 goals to nothing in the final term to take a fourvictory. With that firm in their minds, and coming ihuge win in the last round the 0M's look primed .Ad's has got his ton . and will be looking for more .also down forward Tony Bournon and big Stroudy 1as keys . In the guts, 'Scratcher' Dart and Drew Siare having good seasons and will relish the open spof Sandy. I saw them, demolish the Tigers in theround . and it was hard to find a passenger. But Ithat game I see three players as the OM's keys . "need a key defender to hold at least or.c of '' ..; S

hforwards, and I think Katris is the man. Sir, udy's Ilooked ominous, and if he can last the game, will Ia big influence . And in the middle Carter should dnate, and with first use of the ball, the OM's will be Ito stop .

But the Sharks have been the benchmark all year .are a well drilled, professional unit who have con-

<,,tently broken teams throughout the year . They cani,roiuce up to three key forwards that can demand aquality defender, and if the ball gets down there,iough . will kick a lot of goals . They don't have a dom-iuant ruckmen, and rely more on winning the ballround the ground and using their quality skills toG c the ball fonvard . They too will be well suited to th e

;zces of Sandy, their home ground almost equal in<i .e, if not bigger. and so will be able to move the ball,,;ilh good effectiveness. Pitts and Nish are crucial ballraers. and Vaughan is a quality defender who will get,ne of the OM's big guns . These three, as well as%tahmoud and Mills up fonvard are keys to this sides,uccess . and will all need to be going if the Sharks are10 get the win .

If you heard me on VAFA radio last Sunday morn-111d, I tipped the Sharks to get up. But as the week hass,ne on my mind has shifted from one to the other . I am

,t hit worried about both team's defenses, but will stickith my original feeling and tip the Sharks, who have

at quality all year, building themselves up for thetinals.

Reserves Second Semi-final - St. Bedes MentoneTigers v Old Geelong

This one will be a great match . Both clubs senior~ides are out of contention, and so each will be at full,Irength . but that aside . regular season form leads meto believe this will be a close affair . During the year theOggers had the better of the Tigers on both occasions .but the combined winning margin was just 6 points .The Tigers played their worst game of the year in thesccond clash, and after being well down in the last termfought back to go down by just 2 points . The Oggers aretall, and that is probably their biggest asset . but alsocould prove their downfall on the big ground . The Tigersare strong at the ball, and move it well when they openthe game up. They are the defending premiers . andafter the closest reserves season in many a year man-aged to finish on top for the third year in a row . TheO~gers will be confident, and rightly so . but I think theTigers are a better side all over the ground, and will winand move within a game of back to back premiershipsuccess .

D SECTIONby Ken Bremner

Tom Brai n

Preamble :

Very trying conditions confronted all and sundrywho ventured out to the spacious Monash

University oval for Saturdays qualifying finals . where-as the eliminators on the Sunday at Central Reservefaired much better weather wise. Results from bothdays have tossed up an interesting situation wherebyin both finals this week, list and 2nd semi's) thereserve grade and senior games will be contested bythe same clubs i .e ., Whitefriars V Ajax and SouthbankV Parkside . From this, one could glean that of the 12teams which made up 'D' section these 4 clubs hadthe greatest depth amidst their ranks. Again . Tom andI wish all competing clubs the very best of fortune .

Review - Qualifying Final (August 22 )Reserves - Whitefriars V Parkside . The 'Red

Devils' will have most certainly departed the confinesof Monash University thinking their luck had desertedthem. Just couldn't convert economically enough inthe 1st half, otherwise the game would have been asgood as over. Some 16 shots to 7 to only lead by 2 pistells the sad tale of woe . Left off the hook, the 'Friars'took their chances in the 3rd to put a winning gap ontheir opponents . Try as they might (and did) Parksidecouldn't bridge the gap in the last, although some 5minutes prior to full time with a full head of steam,they did get it back to near even stevens beforeWhitefriars steadied and put the issue beyond doubt .Best for the 'Friars' were Andrew Davis and GaryJohnson and for Parkside . Hogan . Warren & McCall .

Seniors - Southbank V Ajax . A game in whichthere unfortunateiv had to be a loser, in this instanceSouthbank, and I say that without any degree of bias .Officials of both clubs at the after match function .agreed that it (the match) delivered what it hadpromised, that being, on face value at least. probablythe game of the finals . The pre match flip of the coinin which Ajax won and kicked with a hefty breeze,probably had as much to do with the final outcome asany other factor. All square at the long break, the'Jackas' emerged from the sheds to find bright sun-light, no rain and more importantly still, a howlinggale . To their credit, they took advantage and rammedhome 3 quick goals to race out 21 pis ahead before thedeluge and dark ominous clouds gathered. That mar-gin down at 3 qtr. time and with a couple of cripplinginjuries, the 'Bankers' looked gone . Not so as it turnedout . and after a frenetic start . Southbank commencedto reel in the 'Jackas' ever so slowly . to the point itlooked a forgone conclusion that they would run rightover the top of the Ajax combination . With just min-utes to go. and with great pluck (yes! That is pluck) .the 'Jackas' forced a critical turnover and made the'Bankers' pay the maximum for it. and then followedup with a great save on the goal line from what was acertain Southbank goal . Wash up was . that the siren

.~'-- . . .---- -

sounded soon after and Ajax had advanced to the 2nisemi with a hard earned 6 pt victory. For Southbanb,they live to see another day! Best for Ajax wer,Kalinski and Jeremy Wrobel in defence, on ballerDanny Pat and Jason Wrobel along with ruckmalGreg Rozenberg. Special mention also to David Markfor an outstanding last qtr in defence. For Southbanl;none better than the 'Tractor' Kip Walford, Dales'Nudge' Perry, 'Pudda' . 'Easty' and Johny Mc, as welas the Lovechild who contrary to popular opinion diia great job in the back half.Elimination Final (August 23)

Reserves - Monash Blues V SouthbankAlthough the conditions were better than or

Saturday it was a great game very much controlled b,the wind. The Bankers had first use of it and althouginot fully capitalising were able to establish a lead thathey were able to maintain all day . Both sides seeme(to play better kicking into the wind but in the end iwas the physical pressure and attack on the ball b,Southbank plus the ability to hold the Blues talls thagot them home . Steve Garlick and Phil Herridge werifine onballers. Bubba was impassable across halback when the pressure was on, and big Arra had ;telling effect when moved into the ruck as the Banker,live to fight another day .Seniors - Parkside V Monash Blues

Monash started confidently and with a taller an(faster combination outplayed Parkside in the lst qtrThe 'Red Devils' played like a nervous outfit and fumbled and stumbled and weren't able to convert thei .scoring opportunities . The 'Ashes' with a slight breeziended the qtr . leading 3 - 2 - 20 to Parkside 0 - 3 - 3

The game evened up slightly in the 2nd qtr . willMonash not playing with the same level of confidenaas the Ist, although still running strongly . Parksidiedged their way back into things but were wasteful irdisposal ending the qtr. trailing by 10 pts, 4 - 6 - 3(to 2 - 8 - 20.

A big 3rd qtr . by Parkside by closing down thiMonash quicks . playing tight and winning the 'hardball at every contest . Ryan at full forward for the 'Re(Devils' had a stellar term booting 4 majors .

In the last. Parkside continued on in the marine ,they had in the 3rd and Monash wilted as the 'Devilsshowed great spirit to tough out a 9 pt victory. Best fo.Parkside were McCall in the ruck, MacNamara on th(ball and Ryan who finished the day with 6 large .

Preview ( 2nd Semi Final) - August 2 9Seniors - Whitefriars V Ajax -(KB) My major con

cern for the 'Friars' is match hardness. Coming off <loss in round 17 they then . with all due respect to S

oims, had a pretty soft game, then a weeks rest ando s to tackle a hard and fit combo . Adds up to aboutweeks without a 'pressure cooker' type match . I'll

my critics (no doubting that!) but I'm punting onlie 'Jackas' to get in front early, stay in front, enterhe GF the easy way and earn promotion all in the one

,lay. Ajax by 4 goals. (TB) As long as the Jackas canmentally prepare themselves for another tough game Iilzink they can take the points again . There is nodoubt that the Friars will have the fresher legs but I

~?ree with KB that the lack of a real tough game coul d7gainst them, as AJAX will be primed as they don't

come any tougher than last week, that does not meanit will be easy but it's AJAX for Brain ._ Reserves - Ajax V Whitefriars - (KB) Different

scenario here for the 'Friars' and I also reckon the_v'red1e best rezzies team going around at present, mind~,ou they can't afford to be as sluggish as last week .The height and versatility of Whitefriars gives them,reater flexibility than their opponents today in Ajax .in what should be a pearler of a game, the 'Friars' toadvance to the GF wining by 3 goals . (TB) One would;magine that any sluggishness was caused by the softlast round game for the Friars which will be out oftheir system now as last week was anything but soft .This week the ball is in the other court and it may bethe Jackas who will be underdone . Both will have asprinkling of senior players to make it a good game soin a toss up TB selects Whitefriars .

preview ( 1st Semi Final) - August 3 0Seniors - Southbank V Parkside - (KB) The form

card between these 2 teams reads a draw and a win tothe 'Bankers' . Neither side will field their strongestcombination as a result of injuries, however, whenev-er and wherever these 2 protagonists take to the fieldin combat . you can be assured of a great game. TheRed Devils' probably shade Southbank for 'talls'whereas the 'Bankers' can possibly lay claim to havingthe better brigade of on ballers and mid field person-nel . Given that this is the ease, then the forwards ofSouthbank may just have a few more opportunities topost a winning score . In an anticipated ripper of agame, Southbank by 2 goals . (TB) KB appears to havemisconstrued his facts here as talking to the Devilspersonnel on Sunday they were only one away fromtheir best and he returns this week with the fact theyhad a report free game they cannot be any stronger .Better check your sources KB!! Back to the game itselfit promises to be another hard fought game betweentwo evenly matched teams with similar styles . TheBankers were shattered with their defeat last week butshould not be too disillusioned as it was really only thetoss of the coin that beat them, while it took the Devilsa while to shake off a determined Monash . Again itreally is a toss of a coin but going on the years perfor-mance Southbank have been more consistent andhave been able to claw their wav out of difficult situa-tions and will do so again today .

Reserves - Parkside V Southbank - (KB) Had itnot been for rank inaccuracy last week then theParkside boys may well have been playing in the 2ndsemi . However, that's not the case and today they takeon their'98 nemesis in Southbank . The'Bankers' haverolled the 'Red Devils' in both home and away gamesand I see no reason for that trend to change today .With tongue definitely in cheek . Southbank by 1 goal .

(TB) I think you are right here Kenneth the Bankershave the physical strength to match it with the Devilsand they have the pacy onballers and midfielders toexploit any weaknesses Parkside may have in thisarea . Again it will be a tough pressure game of finalsfootball with TB fully expecting Southbank to comeaway deserved victors.

* Flynnies tips this week are Ajax and Southbank.

OFFICIAL O,', _-1 .'I ri OF UMPICLUBROOM S

This weekend is a significant milestone in the 7 6year history of the VAFA Umpires' Association,

with the official opening on Sunday 30 August of ourclubrooms. built within the Grandstand at ElsternwickPark .

These clubrooms are a magnificent enh ancementto the VAFA's facilities at the Park. having trans-formed the dilapidated, asbestos-ridden grandstandinto a multi purpose function/ meeting room, kitchen .office and ancillary facilities that complements theexisting administrative buildings .

Whilst the building is on its own just bricks andmortar, it now houses the umpires' honour boards,photos, memorabilia and records, and is a tremendoussocial room and training resource for the umpires'meetings .

The project had its origins in 1991 when the con-cept of the umpires having their own clubrooms wasenthusiastically supported by the overwhelming major-ity of umpires. Translating that enthusiasm into reali-ty is now complete . although the semi-complete roomshave in fact been operational over the last two seasons .It is fair to say that the project has only come tofruition because of the steadfast support by the broadmembership of the Umpires' Association and theabsolute commitment of key people within theUmpires' Association to seeing the project through .

One of the earliest tasks was to convince everv-one of the importance for the umpires to have theirown 'home' and sense of identity aside from the tradi-tional employer/ employee relationship with the VAFA .Fortunately our vision was shared by the majority ofthe VAFA Executive who recognised the importance ofa strong umpiring body to the VAFA competition andthe benefits that confers . In particular the role playedby Philip Rowell (former VAFA Vice-President andUmpires' Association Life Member) to steer the conceptthrough at Executive level needs to be acknowledged .

No-one has contributed more to the building pro-ject than Wayne Hinton . "Chuck" has lent his profes-sional building skills and managed the constructionand fit out of the rooms since the first sod was turnedin 1995 . He has done so on an entirely voluntary basis .and at some personal cost to his own business. It isdeserving that Wavne . as current President of theUmpires' Association will join with Andrew Langford-Jones as President of the VAFA to unveil the plaque toofficially open the clubrooms .

Other key contributors to ensure the project

E-3 9

maintained its momentum over such an extendedod have been Stephen Hopper, Richard SimonPeter Keogh, the nucleus of the BuildingCommittee . When obstacles were placed in the paprogress this group led front the front and ftahead . Once construction began in 1995 thereextraordinary contributions from a hard core of nbers giving of their time at working bees to refutthe grandstand seating, terrace the hill and carr}works inside the building . Whilst the contribuiwere from numerous members, special recognshould be given to the support of Graham Thwa.Darren Dalgleish, Ron Lippold and BrenCorcoran to Wayne Hinton on the building side.

Importantly, the clubrooms have been planbuilt and paid for by the umpires without any Cotor other government funding. Since 1991 membeithe Umpires' Association have been making fmarcontributions to the building project from the sacrof match payments, raising over $115,000 throthis method. That tangible commitment byumpires is now reflected in the pride felt in the cpleted work. In addition, the "Buy A Brick" camp~raised a further $15,000 from the current and forumpires, supporters and a number of VAFA clutBanyule, Hampton Rovers, Marcellin, Maaer,Monash Blues, Old Bri ghton, Old Camberwell,Geelong, Old Paradians, Old Westbourn e, OrmoSt . Pats Mentone an d Yarra Valley - whose specontributions are recorded on plaques inside the buing. The balance of monies was borrowed from extersources ($50,000 from private financiers and 810.(from the VAFA) with repayment of these loans requiover a five year period .

A luncheon preceding the A Section First SiFinal is being held to mark the occasion of the offiiopening with around 130 guests expected to beattendance including Life Members of the UmpirAssociation, former Umpires' Coaches (Ian Clela1957-1962, Max Barker 1963 - 1971 . Kevin Mcli1972-1976, Al an O'Neil 1977-1980, Neville Na1985-1987 and Bri an Bulluss 1992-1996, current a

former VAFA Executive members and staff (includlAlex Johnson. Norma Fullerton and NanMcTaggart). "Buy A Brick" donors, and many of Iumpires' supporters from the clubs (believe it or rthey do actually exist!), whose work behind the sceron match days is always appreciated though oftunrewarded .

Well the finals have started so most of the teams(6 in fact) are watching and four have the priv-

ilege of playing. Those four on the weekend wereCaulfield . Peninsula . Old Camberwell and Oakleigh .

REVIEW

In the First Semi Old Camberwe ll took onOakleigh at Monash Uni, after a late venue swap .In an entertaining match for those who braved thewindy conditions Old Camberwell seemingly lookedready to put Oakleigh away all day but couldn't. Infact Oaklei h in a 'never say die' attitude actuallyhit the lea~ with only a few minutes to play andlooked like snatching a victory, but as threatenedall game . the Wellers tall and classy forward linegrabbed a few of their opportunities and kickedtruly and ran out eventual winners by 16 points .

So Camberwell into the Preliminary final andOakleigh the Pub . To Oakleigh, well done on a greatyear.

Second semi final . played on Saturday out at the'Old Waverley VFA Ground' with the winner straightinto the Grand Final (and D Section next season)was played between the two best performed sides ofthe season . Caulfield Grammarians and PeninsulaPirates slogged it out in some (at times) terribleweather conditions in what turned out, on thescoreboard anyway. to be a fairly one-sided affaireven though it was rather low scoring.

Caulfield with superior players all over theground ran out winners by 40 points and have gonestraight into the Big One with a weeks rest . As forPeninsula . they have been left licking their woundsfor a week in preparation for this weeks PreliminaryFinal .

PRELIMINARY FINAL

We have a confident Camberwe ll taking on,what must be a concerned Peninsula Pirates out-fit. Why do I say concerned? Well recent finals his-tory says the Pirates don't fare all that well, havingplayed in the past 3 campaigns and still haven'twon it. As for Camberwell, well they would be brim-ming with confidence, their forward line seems to begetting back to some resemblance of early on in theseason and the rest of the 'motor' is starting to purr .

So my tip is Old Camberwell . on the groundsthat they seem to be hitting top gear at the righttime of the year, whereas the Pirates, who mind youdon't give them away totally . seem to be lacking akey forward to seal the big games .

Peninsula's on ball division is its strength . so ifCamberwell can shut down then their own forwards

should be able tokick a winning score .

In the wash upOld Camberwell by15 points in what should be a cracker.

MAGOOS

First Semi - Peninsula in the dying momethe game snatched victory and promotedselves to the Preliminary Final at the expeiOakleigh who battled well all day .

Second Semi - In somewhat of an iCaulfield beat an undefeated Camberwe ll inably the upset of the season . So Caulfield uiigranny along with their ones .

This weeks preliminary final is betPeninsula and Camberwell , with what I feel va great game with Old Camberwell's allstrength and ability to win out .

The Wellers by 32 points .Corresppndents : fax to Craig Richardsc

Peninsula OB - congratulations to MiDentry on reaching 100 games today. "Red'been dominant across half back for many seahis high-flying marks and evasive skills the sout features of his game .

SPORTSCOVERQUALITY INSURANCE AT A SPORTING PRICE

E SECTION (White)by Barry Hickey

n all my five decades of involvement with footy ofvarious codes round the world . never have I see n

the numbers stripped off a scoreboard as they wereduring the partial eclipse squall at CamberwellSports Ground last week . One second we all knewwhat the scores were, the next it was anybody'sguess . And Munners was giving the scoreboardattendants a rev up for having insufficient num-bers after the event, when the poor young buggersdidn't even know where half their plates had blownto!! God I love Amateur Footy, it's ten times betterthan napalm in the morning! !SECOND SEMIS : CAMBERWELL

SENIORSThe C's prevailed over Central in a game that

had everything; gale force winds, rain, flying score-board numbers . a laryngitic siren sounding like thewarble of a basso profundo magpie, a minor solareclipse . 6 freezing umpires, and 36 blokes in fre-netic pursuit of a piece of liberated leather with nointention of being captured . Unfortunately, theconditions spoiled the game as a spectacle and ren-dered gaining possessions something of a lottery,let alone effective disposals . As it was, the C'sbroad spectrum of goal kickers each used theirinfrequent opportunities to greater effect than theirCentral counterparts, and this was a key factor intheir win . The day was a defender's delight, and thebest work of the day was done by the backmen ofboth sides ; Dave Holt, Glen Porteus, and MickNewton for Central, and Matthews, Daniher andOppy for the C's . Merv Shannon worked stronglyround the ground, as did Whisper O'Sullivan .RESERVE S

Kew looked good against the C's, beating themfor the third time this season . The K's won thegame in the third term with a good effort into thewind, and by more committed work out of the cen-tre throughout the day . Not pretty stuff to watch,but with Kalpakas . Giansante, Doumis, andPenesis leading the way, never looked like beingheaded once they took the lead in the second quar-ter. Farmer and Withing struggled hard for the C's.but it really was Kew's day .

FIRST SEMIS: SCAMME LL RESERVE

SENIORSKew zapped Uni. High with a big second term

in which Rick Pulvirenti . Nigel King, Brian Cullen .Ang . Gencarelli, and Adam Felmingham ran riot,and the Green & Browns could find no counters tothem . UHS looked a better side while Skinns wasactive in the ruck, but his absence on the bench forlength periods robbed them of much needed impe-tus . Uni . High did have dead set all day goers in on-

ballers Talarico and ~Cracknell, andDavidson at CHB ,but they lacked th eoverall forward setup to trouble what is aistrong defence lead by the flying FB, BrettFranchi, Greg Crimmins, Bradley and Co . UHSa long way off being disgraced, they did a goodto hold the K's somewhat in the second half,Kew is a formidable outfit when they are on scand this game they surely were.

RESERVESWill iamstown CYMS beat UHS in as goo

Ressies game as you'd see anywhere . Thererarely more than a kick in it all day . 16 miniinto the final term UHS was a solitary point up,levelled at the 18th minute, and Brett Hann popthrough the winning goal for them just prior tosiren . The game was .a credit to both clubs andcoaches . Abbott (UH) and Greguet (CY) - at 1that's who I think the CY ruckman was, after'jumpers locked in the dry cleaners' sage, I'mtoo certain of anything! - staged a terrific conte :the ruck that went on for the entire match . ShLubic on his wing, Brett Wouda roving, and NO'Flynn at FB had very good games for CY. As thave been all year, the Uni . High Ressies weivery even bunch, and their efforts were appreced by all spectators .

PRELMINARIES

SENIORSRichmond Central tackles Kew, and let's h

the weather gives them a break for this match .half decent conditions the football standard ofgame will be nothing short of sensational . Esides have got freakish goal getters like FPulvirenti for Kew, and Paul Byrnes at CentBoth sides are well endowed with more convental forwards such as King and Bell for the Br

,iid Serge D'Angelo have more moves than a moon-dliner's liquor still, and will undoubtedly use all ofi1lc,n . Don't be surprised if additional time ist~quired to decide the winner. I think Central will,ake it out. Don't be surprised if I'm wrong. again!!

RESERVE SThe C's confront CY and will need to lift their

~,mle if they are to match the hard running unitcilat did so well against Uni.. High . CY open their,lmes at blistering pace, and seem to be able tokeep it up for the duration of the game . The C'stu,dfield had an off day last week, and this putadditional pressure on their usually rock-likedefence. It's hard to see this happening two weeksrunning, and the C's should take a top game by 2or 3 goals .

f II~ESTON~E.'Old Carey's reliable defender Peter Drake

plays his 100th game for the club today . Drakeyhas been a key member of a very successful Ressiesoutfit over the past few years and his loyalty andcamaraderie is much appreciated . Well doneDrakey !

Also the C's inimitable Chris 'Wizzer'Withington runs out for his 50th today. 'SideshowBob' and his talented left foot are now part of theClub's folklore . Hope you are with us for manymore Wizz!

REVIEW

SECOND SEMI FINAL

Hawthorn were able to defeat Monash in a highlyentertaining duel at Preston . Monash had the

ascendancy early as their water tight defence led byBlandford . Roche and Davey continually turneddefence into attack to give their fonvards opportunities .Gilchrist responded with a couple of goals but inaccu-racy on the Gryphons behalf resulted in their leadbeing only three goals at quarter time . The Hawksgradually worked their way back into the game withBourke proving a focal point up forward whilst S . Averywas working hard across the half forward line .Eventually they managed to take the lead nearing halftime and went into the long break with a slight advan-tage. Some quick goals at the start of the third quarterto Murray and Bourke increased the Hawks margin tofour goals and with the weather beginning to turn fer-ral that lead would provide difficult to reel in . An injuryto Kilmister did not help the cause as he was anavenue to attack and it allowed P. Avery to attackthrough the midfield . The last quarter proved to be astruggle as the rain set in and scoring became difficult .Overall. Monash would have been disappointed withtheir efforts whilst still happy to regain the services ofstars Rafaniello . Urban and Harrak for upcominggames. Hawthorn, still on the other hand will enjoy theweek off to rest some aches and pains .

FIRST SEMI FINALSyndal Tally Ho continued to confound the

experts as they recorded a memorable victory overWest Brunswick. The first half was a dour, low scoringaffair in which neither side was able to cope with thegale blowing to the Sydney Road end . The Sinners wentinto the break with a slight lead . With ten minutes togo in the third quarter most people were askingwhether the Sinners had done enough with the wind asthey had only increased their lead marginally. Theanswer came with an emphatic burst of ten minutes ofinspired football in which they slammed on five goalsto put the game almost out of reach . The Westies havehad a habit of producing stirring last quarters butdespite threatening at times to overrun the Sinners, itall proved a little too late with the Sinners going on torecord a great win . They were best served by the ponytailed wonder. J . Rutter as well as 'Sugar' Joy.Christiansen, and Ertan . The Westies best included G .Heppell who was brilliant across the half back line .D'Andea and Hector Hamilton . The loss of AngusHamilton through injury before the game was devas-tating for the vanquished as they sorely lacked hissmarts around the ground . The Sinners live to fightanother day while West Brunswick settle in to supporttheir reserves premiership battle.

PREVIEWPRELIMINARY FINAL

The two early sea-son pacesetters clas hin the cut throat penultimate game when Monash takeon Syndal Tally Ho at Brunswick . Syndal have beenthe side that most pundits had written off coming intothe finals but their workrate in the first semi final w

a second to none resulting in West Brunswick constant .ly being under pressure. The Gryphons will no dou

b target the midfield dominance of Rutter as being th ekey element to the Sinners success and he can expe

c Andy Tolongos to follow him closely. The Sinners cap.tain, Sugar Joy, should also be paid attention but t

h Gryphons are likely to allow Hetherington to play hi ;own game in the midfield as he is a potential match .winner . J . Ertan was also good in the midfield forSyndal and will not be overlooked by the Gryphon ;brainstrust in their pre game preparation . Monastsprung a surprise last week by starting captain Le(Wells at CHB and it worked well with Wells able to provide more drive from defence . They may not go thEsame way this week as that would result in a heighmismatch as the Sinners man mountain . C . Cachia i:a big target at CHF for the Sinners . Consequently Well;may revert to a midfield role this week. The Sinners dcnot employ too many tags and this might prove costbas the Grvphon midfielders are potent .

The respective forward lines were the most damaging during the year. Gilchrist, Leeton and Kilmister ana difficult combination to match up on as they posse,skill . height and pace between them which mosdefences are pushed to match up on . The Sinners

a a little more reliant on Cachia for their output but t hlikes of Beckett . Hannemann and Toce can also b,relied upon to kick some goals .

The Gryphons backline was the best throughouthe year and with the likes of Roche, Blandford, Daveand Rafaniello it is little wonder. The Sinners back ha1is a little more dour but can't be underestimatedChristiansen and MacFarlane are both one touch players and their rebound will be vital .

Monash did not finish on top for nothing and wibe out to improve on last weeks showing but won't goit all their own way . However they should have enouglin reserve to win and advance to the GF.

RESERVESWest Brunswick advanced straight into the GI

after running over the top of Monash . With the possibility of players coming back from the ones they pose ;real threat . Eley Park made it 11 out of 12 when theaccounted for a disappointing HawthornConsequently Monash take on Eley Park and withfull list to choose from the Sharks might be able to goover the line .

1' STI1 ® THINK TALLDo you want to get rid of those nagging back aches, neck aches, headaches, shoulder aches or

leg pains ?Well all these may be caused by bad posture !If you have that pug neck with your head protruding forward on your neck, if your shoulders are

too rounded and you walk around with a pot belly and sway back - don't despair.Fixing your or your children's posture is easier than you think . It's all a matter of muscle bal-

ance and most of us don't have it .As a start try to imagine getting pulled up by a strong string from the top of your head, then

squeeze your shoulders back, put your feet apart at shoulder width, relax your knees and tuck in yourbottom .

You can see it's really simple . Now you only have to think about maintaining posture most ofthe day !

U Blacks beat Ormond, and State Savings beatCollegians in the series . They could certainly kick inthose days, as SSB's notes stated "the goal kicked byAlby Rodda from 130 yards out was the best ever seenon the Elsternwick ground" . The Blacks won the first ofs ix successive finals, 1938 . 39, 46, 47 . 48. 49 ( no com-petition, 1940-45) .

wo high standard matches entertained the largecrowd, who attended last Sundays Grand Finals .

Although in each match the favoured team triumphed,the premiership was only earned after spirited opposi-tion was overcome .

SECTION ONE

Old Xave rians are premiers and champions of theSection . This worthy feat was accomplished only afterthe 'Crocodiles' had struggled for three quartersagainst the quality opposition provided by De La Sall e .

De La Salle threw down the challenge to their oppo-nents . with a goal scored in the first minute of thematch . Their jubilation was short lived as TimO'Sullivan replied for old Xaverians within two min-utes. First quarters honours went to Old Xaverians .who attacked and kicked another three goals while DeLa Salle could only manage one more goal for the quar-ter. At the first change Old Xaverians held the lead bythirteen points.

Again De La Salle opened the second quarter witha quick goal and for good measure Shane Rudd kickedanother. Old Xaverians thus held the lead by one point :a state which continued until the twelve minute markwhen a goal gave Old Xaverians some respite . It wasshort lived however as De La Salle kicked two moregoals as the quarter neared its finish . Old Xaverians .sensing their danger attacked only to see the De LaSalle led by Steve Lasko stand firm . Honours in thesecond quarter went to De La Salle, who held a fourpoint lead at its conclusion. Old Xaverians regained thelead early in the third quarter before De La Sallesnatched it back when the 'Crocodile' defenders failedto man up . Another goal to De La Salle gave them anine point lead half way through the quarter. De LaSalle persisted with their efforts before a late goal byLuke Hardwicke reduced Old Xaverians three quartertime deficit to two points . With the premiership on theline Old Xaverians surged fonvard where Richard Kinggoaled to give them a four point lead . With the resulthanging in the balance Paul, better known as "Jake" .Connors . entered the arena, ran forward, marked andkicked truly to give Old Xaverians a ten point leadWhen De La Salle went forward there was no player inposition to attempt to score and so the Old Xaveriandefenders were able to push the ball to the defensiveouter wing . A late goal to Old Xaverians gave them asixteen point lead . which they held until the final siren .Best players for the 'Crocodiles' included . TonyLandrigan in his one hundred and fiftieth game. JamiePetroff. Michael Jones and veteran Richard Curtain .For De La Salle no one did better than ruckmanJohnny Grey who was assisted by Justin Hosking .Greg McHenry and full back Steve Lasko .

Congratulations to Old Xaverians on their out-

standing season andits ultimate success .To De La Salle, wel ldone over the seasonand for your efforts in making such a good contthe Grand Final .

SECTION 2The first quarter was a time in which each

settled into the tempo of the match and it was ,in which little scoring was done. M onash Whiteia lead of nine points at the first change .

The second quarter saw Kew surge ahead wit :goals . Monash did not have much of the play uward but as half time loomed, Marco Tossavgoaled to reduce the Kew lead to just five points .

The third quarter saw over ten minutes ibefore either side could score . Finally it was ITossavainen . who broke the drought by kicking <Two more Monash goals were unanswered befoKenny snapped truly over his head to give MWhites a twenty point lead . The quarter seemecless and as the clock ticked over twenty eight m~Mick O'Dea kicked a goal, which was the onl ,score for the quarter .

The last quarter opened with Kew facing a fotpoint deficit . As in the third quarter scoring wasmal as each team struggled to overcome fatigue <gain a break on the outer . Kew scored the only gthe final siren was near . Monash Whites valiantlyon to the lead, although they could only add fourscores for the quarter . At the final siren Monash %held a seventeen point lead, which gave them thepremiership since 1975 .

Good players for Monash were: DanMatthew Riddle, Gene Van Der Zalm and uturned player, John Stoppa .

Kew were well served by their stalwarts .Lucas and Ant Lawrence as well as by Johnsorand Corridon . With only one defeat of the sMonash are worthy premiers . Kew after overcearly season setbacks, carried all before them tothe Grand Final, where they strove valiantly totheir 1997 title.

ematch at the City Oval Box Hill against

Old Preview

Section 1Brighton last week. The lead did not change from S

Old Xaverians will go into today's match against{aere on in with the D's Bonnici and O'Donnell domi-

through the mid feld for the major part of the Old Paradians knowing they have not been defeatedr n both occasions they have defeatall year, and that onant

Ei~,f• . Clancy and Logan were busy up forward . whil eVon, Rogers and Bailey stood out in what was a very ed the OP's, although last time there was not much in

erfomance . Catch up football proved too the result. Deane-Johns and Curnow have been

n team p the second prominent on both meetings with the OP's, while

are dangerous OP's!,,Inch for the Tonners who battled hard i nuarter to draw near on level at the half, however an Cosgriff, Pruscino and Ploenge s

en second half saw the D's continue on with finals on their day. Oswald will need to be watched up for-

while the Tonne and Rush when onon rs were left to ponder what ward for the Xavs, While Skidmor e

could have been. song are unstoppable. Results and overall form lead

e towards the Xavs, although memoriYstoof 199t wil l

section 2At Scammell Reserve a fired up Tigers outfit came

out with all guns blazing against old Trinity, howev-er neither team could gain the advantage the Tigersin front by a solitary point at the first break

. Another

even quarter prevailed and with Burrows and Rothedoing well the OT's had wrestled back the advantage.

The second half however would turn out to be mostly

ilie Tigers . 8 majors to 3 with Kingwell . Ryan, and the

Wintles amongst the gloats . For the OT's Hutchison .

Dann and Russell never gave in all day .

'Section ( 2) BlueOrmond and Old tYIentonians fought out a tight

match at Parkdale with the Monds giving thePanthers too big a break at 1/, time to overhaul . The

game opened up very even although the Panthersthrough Kuramoto, and Drinan were getting first useof the ball, hence Ballantine's dominance up forward

.

The Monds fought back well to be in the match at halftime through the efforts of Dale, Mabbett and

Ashford. although Campbell and Norris cut loose inthe third setting up the Panthers winning break . In

cold not try get close }enough to stealtthe finishin

g victory .

Section (2) Re dWarringal turned an ordinary first half into a

strong win at Trinity playing fields last Saturday .

when they met Therry Penola . Therry began well,and after strong team play and accurate kicking atgoal held a healthy lead at half time

. The Redbacks

looking far from impressive with only Welch really

leading the way. Enter a different team in the second

half, as they banged on (5) goals to (2) to clinch athrilling victory by 4 points . Therry Penola would bedisappointed with their second half, and the

rge the OP's on today, but not enoug g

Gr~:nd Final yet .

Selection: Old Xaverians

Section 2Two meetings and two victories

for Whitefriars

would suggest that today's result is a foregone con-clusion, however recent form lends itself to suggest

otherwise. The Friars form has dropped off in the sec-

ond half of the year . while the Seotchies seem to have

been going about their business with a minimum of

fuss. At Scammell Reserve the ground will be excel-

lent ,H'lton and the will an ed tobe`watbcli dralong spectl

e with Phan and Duffy for the Friars whose majo r

strength has been the ability to cover quality playerriot

lossesrely on throughout although ones to watchs~ould noindividuals, the

doubt be Thomas up forward, Stevens. Prendergast,

beFricke and Junkeer . Overall this match appear

s the most even of today and in an upset the Scotchies

to get over the line in a close one .

Selection: Old Scotch

Section (2) BlueA win a piece across the year gives the MHSOB

Hampton Rovers match some real unknowns . Both

teams can kick big scores with the Taylors (MH) dan-gerous goal scorers . Onball the O'Briens, Davis andRodder give the High plenty of forward opportunities,however the Rovers' Anderson, Rehn . Wilmott and

Parkdale conced ewill allow for free, fast flowing foot-Vs

s Reserve will

are verv even in terms of defence and attack . If theRovers can shut down the High's midfield and thustheir fonvard effectiveness my leaning is with theRovers, however should they be unable to containsuch I predict a big win by the High . In a toss of thecoin the Rovers to continue into the Grand Final .

Selection: Hampton Rovers

Section (2) RedOld Ivanhoe deserve to go in to today's match

against Yarra Valley as favourites with a clearlystronger forward set-up and defence, although on theother hand the Valley are not bad in each of theserespective areas themselves . With a win each acrossthe season today shapes as a crucial battle at Trinityplaying fields, where the surface should be second tonone . Casano . Tvshing, Bell and Wapshot have beenprominent players for the Valley in the two meetingsof the teams . as to have Oates . Brannigan, Davis andBernet for OIG . Both teams play strong attackingfootball, with both coaches knowing the importanceof getting to the Grand Final after (1) final rather than(2) . All in all a great spectacle will take place with theOIG's favoured in a real close match .

COACHES' CLIPBOARDAFCANAFA

re '6 _ J, --evtousty we nave tarxeu auout eoacnes uemg aware

that there are many sources of information useful to

into their minds about a given topic.

When the time limit is up. the ideas are simply count-

may confuse and frustrate if the ideas are not subse-

!lu• coach that are not exactly traditional. For example.uch sources as coaches of other sports, non-sporting

„cople, etc. We came across a book recently calledTrain to Win in Real Estate' and found it to be full oficlcas and useful to coaches . A few appear below . Weaongest that the book itself would make a useful co ach- companion .

As an instructor. your task is not necessary to standn front and deliver all knowledge to the group . Oftenilic very best instructors are those who act as faeilita-rors They merely become part of the group, helping itsincmbers work together to achieve a common goal . New[rainers sometimes find this more difficult than stand-in ; up and giving a lecture . However, it is often of muchmore value to the group to have a group facilitatorrather than a lecturer .BRAINSTORMING

The simplest type of group activity is brainstorming,of which there are manv different varieties . In a brain-Isrorming activity, small groups (usually of five or six, .~ople) are asked to write down everything that come s

Alternatively . a larger group may call out ideashich are recorded on a whiteboard by the facilitator .

Generally, they are given a time limit and asked notto make any attempt to criticise the quality of ideas .

ed . Members of the group are encouraged to developinnovative, even what may seem at first impracticalideas .

Quantity of ideas is essential . Quality is not impor-tant, as a group should try to build upon previousIdeas, thus involving a continuous improvement asearly ideas are developed.

The most important thing to remember when usingbrainstorming is to explain clearly the problem or topicto be brainstormed. It should also be made clear whyideas are required .

A major advantage of using brainstorming is that noequipment is required other than butcher's paper, pensand somewhere to display the ideas generated . Nor is ittime consuming to prepare. A disadvantage is that it

quently used .SWOT

SWOT stands for Strengths . Weaknesses .Opportunities and Threats .

It would be appropriate to use with staff if you wereusing your training as a way of determining the futuredirections for vour comoanv/club .

A.P.C.A A .P.A .

You can use a variety of brainstorming technique sfor getting the initial lists of strengths, weaknesses,opportunities and threats .

In a SWOT, group members list all the strengths ofa company/club, its weaknesses, opportunities forgrowth and threats . They then work as a group to min-imise threats and maximise opportunities .

Staff are also asked to propose actions which wouldbuild upon existing strengths and reduce weaknesses .Some of the proposed actions may involve training .

Specific people then give commitments for carryingout particular activities by particular dates .

BUZZ GROUPSA buzz group is another type of brainstorming . It

involves breaking a large group into smaller groups offive or six people to discuss ideas relating to a topic .

Groups are given a time limit, usually between fiveand ten minutes for each topic .

The advantages of using buzz groups are that mostmembers of the group are involved, peer pressure isreduced and they encourage a greater willingness onthe part of group members to contribute.

Buzz groups also help build cohesion amongst par-ticipants .

Some disadvantages of buzz groups are that some-times too much pressure to respond is created, or thatpressure may arise to give more time to buzz groupsthan the truetor initially planned .
