SE-,'tOR REPRESENTATIVE TEAM TO PLAY SA senior selection panel last Saturday evening named .,, squad of 35 players to begin training for the cli,, 01uing match against the South Australian 1jeurs at Elstermvick Park on June 10. >quad to be coached by Nick Bourke is : Josh Brad Robinson, Luke Hawkins, Emil ;~, ;rtii,nides, Tim Finnichiarro (Old Scotch) Gil ~,1c1 . jchlan ( University Blues), Simon Lennox, Matthew on (Old Bri ghton) Bernard Dinneen, Mark Dave Waters, Glenn Cox (Mareellin) Ben Ivrdan, Nick Mitchell, Steve McKeon, Danny Byrne (St Bernards) Luke Mahoney, Paul Greenham, Ben Garvey (St Kev3ns) Andrew Ramsden, Glenn Hatfield, Lincoln IZcr,iiolds, Colin Phillips, Chris Frost ( Old 't'rinity) Lac:ilan Ford, Simon Lethlean, Damian Orlando, Tim Clarke (Old Xaverians) Daniel Lancaster (Niazenod) En ,,a Thompson, Adam Simpson (MHSOB) James I Iope . Marcus Toovey (Old Ivanhoe) Michael Hazell (Old 5felburnians) Denver Artz (Hampton Rovers). There was much debate at the Executive table regarding the announcement of the three representative sides, particularly the senior side that contains only three B section players and 1 C section player . Should the Executive (at the end of the current season) introduce the foll owing criteria - the senior team to be the best available team irrespective of a player's section of origin (as now) with the other team being a truly representative team, that has equal representation from B, C Dl, D2, D3 and D4? An analysis of responses will appear in a futuie issue . MCG tickets to an AFL game for some of the better responses I receive will be given . INCORRECT IN TERCHANGE DECISION In response to the incorrect interchange situation I,., , _°nted last week, the Executive has adopted the following. Should a player leaving the ground or coming on the ground not do so in the appropriate manner the offending club will be fined a sum of $100 for the infraction. If the player coming on has not gone through U}a interchange area the umpire is to stop play and send the player off from "whence he came" to return properly . The game is not to restart until this player has taken up a playing position . If play continues for a "reasonable 1 n ;th of Lime" while the offending player remains on the toll the club offended against may lodge a complaint
with the VAFA which will take any action it sees fit . Th e
_J
interchange stewar d must record all information on his card in relation to this matter in regards to times and scores . CLUB LUNCHEONS Clubs are reminded of the procedure to be followed if a club plans to hold a luncheon before a senior game where alcohol is to be served .
What constitutes a luncheon? Invitations sent out, tables set beforehand (crockery and cutlery set) and a "real" meal served - not pies, pasties etc served to people standing around having a drink ! How is permission gained? A letter seeking approval must be lodged with the VAFA at least a fortnight before the planned luncheon . The VAFA may require a bond to be lodged if a club has a history of ignoring these requirements in the past. When must alcohol cease to be served? No further drinks can be served, bought or opened after 1 .50 pm and all drinks must be off the tables by the start of a match . And fina ll y!!! Members of the Executive and myself love receiving invitations to attend luncheons and enjoy your company and the chance get to know people within your clubs . We insist on paying our way if invited, and I ensure that anyone attending a luncheon on behalf of the Executive takes along a little something for a club to add to its raffle of the dav. PS. Thanks to Jeff Jankie, Peter Kagan and the Ajax club who invited me to their lunch last week. I had a great time and was absorbed by Dyson Iiore-Lacey's address.
