The Bloods score dramatic late win as the ladder starts to stretch – William Buck Premier Men’s Round 9 Review
Round 9 of William Buck Premier Men’s saw Old Haileybury come from the clouds for a critical win, while the reigning premiers made a powerful statement, the league-leaders kept on keeping on, and a veteran snatched back a share of the goalkicking lead with a 9-goal haul.
Here’s our look back at Round 9, which saw clear gaps begin to open on the ladder for the first time:
———
Old Haileybury pulled off a miraculous last-gasp win over Caulfield Grammarians at Princes Park.
The Fields had the breeze in the opening term, and booted the opening 3 goals inside 11 minutes, before two late majors to Will Barrie and James Magner reduced the Bloods’ deficit back to 10 points at the first change.
A free-flowing, high-scoring second term saw Old Haileybury boot 7 goals to 4 and take an 8-point advantage into half-time – Barrie and Magner with 3 goals apiece to the major break.
The third quarter would prove to be crucial. The Fields dominated territory with the breeze (17 Inside 50s to 7), but squandered their opportunity to open a match-winning lead by kicking 2.8 to 0.1. What could have been a huge margin for the Bloods to chase down became just 11 points at three-quarter time.
But to Caulfield’s credit, they didn’t make the chase-down easy for Old Haileybury. James Blight goaled for the Bloods 9 minutes in to make it a 4-point game, but the Fields responded through skipper Jack Ellwood to re-establish a 10-point buffer.
The next 16 minutes saw the two teams exchange a series of behinds as the tension steadily built, and approaching the 26-minute mark of the final term, it was still Caulfield by 11 points with time running out for the Bloods.
Enter Durras Seccull. He had been outstanding all afternoon, racking up intercept marks across half-back before Guy Martyn threw him forward late to try and swing the game.
He was held in a marking contest 40 metres out, directly in front, then went back and drilled the set shot with authority to make it a 5-point with 26 minutes gone.
A couple of players down, Caulfield was scrapping hard and trying to close the game down, while the Bloods had no option but to open the game up and go for broke.
A free kick for insufficient intent on the outer wing saw Old Haileybury launch it long to a big pack 40 metres from goal. When the dust settled, it was Durras Seccull with ball in hand once again, after hauling down a superb contested pack mark.
The ground hushed, as Seccull went back to take his set shot.
It left the boot well, was on line and distance was now the only question. Caulfield’s defenders soared into the air to try and get a finger on it as it crossed the goal-line… and it just made it.
The goal umpire signalled a major as the final siren sounded – Old Haileybury pulling off a miraculous last-kick win to breathe life back into their season, as Durras Seccull’s boot kicked them a game clear of the drop zone.
The Bloods players leapt for joy and swamped the hero of the hour, as Caulfield were left stunned – hands on heads, unable to immediately process the four premiership points having been snatched away from them at the death.
They had given their all for four quarters, but footy can be an unforgiving game. 28 scoring shots to 19 in favour of the Fields, but they didn’t capitalise on their chances, and that ultimately came back to bite them.
Seccull was judged best afield for his 21 disposals, 10 marks, 6 Rebound 50s and 2 late match-winning goals, while his brother Brede was also superb, with 26 touches (17 contested), 7 tackles, 9 clearances, 13 Inside 50s and a goal.
Mitch Kirkwood-Scott returned from VFL duties to rack up 37 disposals and 15 Rebound 50s, while Jasper Russell continued his stellar season with 34 and 8 Rebounds for the Bloods.
Jack Webster was excellent for Caulfield, thrown into a negating role on the rampaging Brede Seccull, while Hamish McInerney, Jared Freeman, Will Vesely and Jono Moren were also amongst the best for the Fields.
It was a huge win for Old Haileybury, who bounced back from last week’s 91-point humiliation at the hands of SKOB to snap their 4-game losing streak and jump a game clear of the relegation zone. It was even more important given they will face the league-leading Xavs, then one of the teams currently in the drop zone – Old Scotch – in the next two weeks before the second bye.
For Caulfield, it was a disappointing lost opportunity to extend their 3-game winning streak to 4, and build a 3-game buffer between them and the drop zone. They too now face a challenging fortnight – the reigning premiers followed by the league-leaders.

Guy Martyn (Old Haileybury): “A game where both teams had periods of momentum throughout and it obviously could’ve gone either way.
“Apart from last week, where we were comprehensively beaten, we’ve been in all of our games and had a couple of ‘honourable losses’, so it was probably time the footy Gods did us a favour, and we perhaps snatched one.
“A spectacular finish with Durras Seccull kicking the final two goals, but it shouldn’t be overlooked how good he was throughout the entire day – taking plenty of intercept marks across half back before going forward late in the game.
“Mitch Kirkwood-Scott and Jasper Russell were great, providing run and ball use off half back, as well as Brede Seccull, again a workhorse in the middle of the ground.
“A really tough game against Xavier this upcoming week and it will take something special to get a win there, but we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
Paul Satterley (Caulfield Grammarians): “Haileybury’s ability to intercept aerially was the standout for the game, combined with their ability to make the most of their opportunities for goals.
“The scoreline of 3.12 to 3.5 in the second half suggests we were wasteful. Durras deserves heaps of praise for his entire game for them.
“Kicking into the breeze in the last with two players down, we never gave in, and I couldn’t be prouder of my group of lads and the resilience they showcased.
“Most likely, we’ll have lots of goal kicking this week, and deep dive into how we gave up an 11-point lead with 3 minutes remaining.
“Jack Webster was outstanding, especially after half-time when he limited Brede’s impact on the game after he ran riot in the first half. Our skipper Jack Ellwood played through duress and should be called out. Jono Moren is highly regarded internally and keeps getting better each game after a reasonable spell from injury.”
Old Brighton provided a timely reminder of their capabilities by snapping St Kevin’s 6-game winning streak with an impressive performance at TH King Oval.
The reigning premiers arrived in enemy territory determined to avoid losing 3 in a row for the first time in 3 years, and rocketed out of the blocks with a powerful opening term that saw them rack up a remarkable 18 Inside 50s to 2, despite having 2 less disposals in challenging conditions.
The Tonners’ intercept game was on song as they turned SKOB attacking forays around to generate opportunities of their own to finish the quarter with 12 scoring shots to 1, booting 5.7 to 1.0 to lead by 31 points at the first break – gun forward Archi Manton with 3 opening quarter goals.
Everyone expected a stiff response from SKOB in the second term, and sure enough, the hosts flipped the script and used the conditions to their own advantage, generating 16 Inside 50s to 4 and 12 scoring shots to 2. But much like the Tonners in the opening term, they couldn’t take full toll, kicking 4.8 to 1.1 to at least get back within a kick at the half.
The third term saw Old Brighton get on top in possession count for the first time, as they edged in front on the inside. Both teams had their chances, but it was the visitors who were a little cleaner around goal, kicking 3.2 to 0.5 to skip away to a 21-point three-quarter-time advantage.
That expanded to 27 points when Luke Travers kicked his third goal one minute into the final term, and despite St Kevin’s having a slight edge around the stoppages and winning the territory battle in the last quarter, the Tonners were never really threatened, coming up with the necessary goals to keep SKOB at arm’s length.
In the end, it was 23 scoring shots apiece, with the Tonners’ superior conversion delivering a hard-fought 20-point win that sees them leapfrog St Kevin’s into third position.
Skipper Harry Hill led from the front for the Tonners, finishing with 30 disposals (14 contested), 8 tackles, 9 clearances and a goal, while Sam Linder controlled the game from half back, racking up 37 touches, 6 clearances and 9 Rebound 50s.
Young gun Liam Gunson shone for SKOB, collecting 24 disposals, 6 tackles, 5 clearances and 6 Inside 50s, while Billy Coates turned in another stellar ruck performance, with 29 disposals (26 contested), a whopping 87 hit-outs and 17 clearances, plus 6 Score Involvements.
Next up for Old Brighton, it’s a visit from Caulfield, followed by a return bout with the team that ended their winning streak at Fortress Brighton – Uni Blacks – away in the lead-up to the bye.
While St Kevin’s will be determined to start a new winning streak as they host Old Trinity, then visit St Bernard’s in an always tricky visit to the Snake Pit.
THE ROAD AHEAD:
Old Brighton: Caulfield (H) Uni Blacks (A)
St Kevin’s: Old Trinity (H) St Bernard’s (A)
Old Brighton 12.11 (83)
St Kevin’s 8.15 (63)
GOALS: OB: Manton 4; Agg 2; Segar, Hill, Dick, Pryor, Travers & Hope 1.

STK: Liam Gunson, William Coates, Andrew Mathieson, Matthew Canning, Ben Mansfield, Cam Hodges
Marcel Bruin (Old Brighton): “A strong win. We got a lot of things right on the weekend, and we needed to. Our contest work was really pleasing, helping us to control parts of the game, and helping us create looks for the forwards.
“Our defenders did a good job, particularly when SKOB and their mids got on top and were getting multiple inside 50’s, although a couple of missed shots could have changed the complexion of the game.
“Harry Hill was outstanding again, and was comfortably our best. Our two key forwards Archi Manton and Hamish Dick worked well together and hit the scoreboard, and Buck Linder off half-back was professional and controlled all day.
“Another debutant this week, Marlo Hoffman, showed that he is up to the level, which is super exciting and he combined well with Campbell Tweedie in those key defensive posts.”
Anthony Lynch (St Kevin’s): “All credit must go to Old Brighton. They were prepared to embrace the conditions and get to work across all areas of the ground. It was a very disappointing result and a missed opportunity for our boys.
“We still have a lot of growth in this group if we want to seriously challenge the top teams. The positive part is that the areas we didn’t get right are fixable if we are prepared to dig in and commit to working on our game.
“I’m really keen to see how our group responds next week against Trinity, who we will meet for the first time this year.”
University Blacks snapped their 3-game losing streak and escaped the drop zone with a vital win over Old Scotch at Melbourne Uni Oval.
It was all Blacks early, dominating clearances to take control and kick the first 7 goals of the game, as Sam Conway and Harry Broderick repeatedly combined to give the hosts first possession from which they could attack.
Old Scotch’s first major came 14 minutes into the second term, by which time Blacks had opened up a commanding 45-point lead.
But the Cardinals surged off the back of that breakthrough goal to James Milner, who added a second two minutes later. Another pair of goals in time-on saw their half-time deficit reduced to 27 points, with a sense that Old Scotch could be back in the contest.
The early stages of the third term would tell the tale, and it was Jack Drummond who came up with the all-important first goal, when he pounced on a loose ball in the goalsquare and snapped on the turn for a clever finish.
With goals becoming increasingly harder to come by in the muddy conditions, that goal steadied the ship for Blacks, and when Matthew Grocott marked at the top of the goalsquare to add another 6 minutes later, it was back out to a 40-point lead, with neither team able to find another goal in the third term.
Credit to the Cardinals, who kept fighting on, and booted 3 of the 4 goals kicked in the last quarter, but the damage had well and truly been done – Blacks back on the winners’ list with a 28-point victory that lifts them a game clear of the Cardinals, who actually outscored Blacks 7 goals to 5 from midway through the second term, but never managed to get close enough to provide a genuine threat.
Campbell Moorfield dominated the air, finishing with 15 marks to go with his 23 disposals, while Sam Conway and Harry Broderick controlled the contest. Conway had 21 disposals (19 contested), 62 hit-outs and 12 clearances, providing first use to Broderick, who flourished with 28 disposals (18 contested), 11 tackles, 10 clearances, 6 Inside 50s and a goal.
Last week’s VAFA Rising Star nominee Harry Dixon continued his excellent form, with 19 disposals for Old Scotch, while Will Townsend was busy all afternoon to finish with 31 touches. Henry Brown and Quinn Spencer were also amongst the Cardinals’ best.
The Cards now face a critical pair of home games leading into the bye – the Snowdogs and the Bloods. Win those, and they can clear the drop zone and start building some momentum for the run home. But drop them and the pressure will build.
The Blacks also have a challenging fortnight ahead, with the always intense Uni Derby followed by a visit from the reigning champs. Can they replicate last year’s mid-season heroics and get on a winning run once again?
THE ROAD AHEAD:

Uni Blacks: Uni Blues (H) Old Brighton (H)
University Blacks 11.12 (78)
Old Scotch 7.8 (50)

Dale Bower (Uni Blacks): “I thought we played the conditions very well, and we were prepared to put our ‘snouts in the trough,’ which was something our boys drove hard all day.
“Our ball use was also very pleasing – we have worked hard on it, and it is improving.
“We will keep our focus on improving weekly.”
Mark Gnatt (Old Scotch): “A disappointing performance from us. Uni Blacks adapted to the conditions far better than we did, and the 31-point lead at quarter time meant we were chasing the game from then on. We did our best to rein in the deficit but could only pull it back marginally.
“Another massive shoutout to 18-year-old Harry Dixon, who was again our best. He is certainly a player for the future, and his nomination in the Under-19 rep squad is well deserved. We look forward to getting back to Scotch College this week and taking on St Bernard’s.”
University Blues made it four wins on the trot as they comfortably accounted for St Bernard’s at the Snake Pit.
Their twin towers of Sam Grimley and James Stewart combined for the only 3 goals of the opening term – Stewart booting his second midway through time-on to open up an 18-point lead at the first change.
When Stewart added two more in two minutes early in the second quarter, the alarm bells were well and truly ringing for Snowdogs coach Steve Alessio – Stewart up to 4 majors and the Blues’ lead out to 29 points.
The Dogs needed to respond, and they did when Matthew Watson kicked their first major 18 minutes into the second term, followed by another to Ferg McNicol 90 seconds later to reduce the damage back to just 16 points.
But Stewart was proving more than a handful as the game suddenly transformed into a shootout, with a combined 6 goals added in just over 11 minutes late in the quarter. Stewart delivered two more of them to finish with 4 for the quarter and have 6 on the board by half-time – the Blues out to a 28-point lead.
The game returned to an arm-wrestle early in the third term, with Jeremy Goddard and Lachie Papley adding a goal apiece for their respective teams. They were the only goals kicked for the first 26 minutes of the quarter.
Enter James Stewart once again.
The ex-AFL gun added another two goals in 90 seconds late in the quarter to give him 8 to three-quarter time, as his team headed to the huddle with a comfortable 37-point lead. It was a gut-punch for the Snowdogs, who had scrapped hard for the entire quarter, winning the territory battle, only to see all that work undone in a flash.
All eyes were on Stewart, with a double-figure haul in the offing.
But the Snowdogs lifted in the contest throughout the final term, getting on top in the inside game and doing their best to restrict quality supply to the white-hot Blue.
In the end, he was restricted to just 2 disposals for the term, one of them being a strong mark 20 metres out to deliver his 9th goal at the 29-minute mark.
It would prove to be the final score of the game – the clinical Blues running out comprehensive 43-point victors to extend their winning streak to four straight and consolidate second spot, a game behind Xavs and a game clear of Old Brighton and SKOB.
Stewart finished with 16 disposals, 13 marks and 9 goals in a commanding performance that returned him to equal top of the Premier Men’s Goalkicking leaderboard.
Fellow ex-AFL player Taylor Duryea enjoyed his best game for the Blues so far, finishing with 32 disposals, 9 marks and 10 Rebound 50s, while Jack Hayter and Will Furphy both collected 27 touches apiece – Hayter with 10 clearances and 9 tackles.
Matt Sauro worked tirelessly for the Dogs in the ruck, finishing with 19 disposals, 59 hit-outs and 11 clearances, while Mitch Hughes pushed himself all day as always, collecting 26 touches. He was well supported by Luke Said, who finished with 22 and 10 clearances.
The stage is now set for another compelling Uni Derby, with both teams to enter the rivalry game on the back of impressive wins. The Blacks would love nothing more than to upset the Blues’ momentum, while Matt Smith’s team will be just as determined to keep their run rolling all the way to the second bye.
St Bernard’s remain equal bottom with Old Scotch, setting up a blockbuster clash at Camberwell this coming week, with the winner to kick a game clear of the other in the race to avoid relegation.

Matt Smith (Uni Blues): “It was a scrappy game, at times difficult to watch.
“We knew coming in they were a high-handball team, so we had a big focus on stopping that, which for the most part we did. This disrupted their use going inside 50. We were able to generate shots on goal from really good areas, which made our conversion high early in the game, and that took the game away from them.
“While it wasn’t the prettiest of games, and we certainly weren’t playing our best footy, we still found a way to win. Sometimes you have to be able to win ugly, and that’s what we were able to do.
“This week will be just focusing on fundamentals, stripping right back to basics and making sure we do those well.
“Nick Conway was huge all day against a really quality opponent in Watson.”
Steve Alessio (St Bernard’s): “Coming up against an in-form Uni Blues outfit was always going to be a big challenge for us.
“Our contested ball work was good, and we had some good passages of play and pressure, especially early in the third quarter.
“However, our ball has continued to let us down and is costing us in some critical moments. A lack of discipline at times throughout the game also made it hard to stay in touch.
“Old Scotch next week provides a mini-final pressure game. This gives many of our players an opportunity to play their best football for our club when it counts.”
The final game of the weekend saw Old Xaverians ultimately collect a seventh straight win after overcoming an early flurry from Old Trinity at Daley Oval.
When these two teams met in Round 2, the T’s jumped Xavs early and pulled off one of the upsets of the year.
The early signs were similar this time around, with the hosts dominating territory (21 Inside 50s to 6 in the opening quarter) and booting the first three goals of the game to hold Xavs scoreless until Alec Spralja pulled a goal back at the 25-minute mark to reduce the damage to 12 points at the first break.
Xavs then found their rhythm in the second term, lifting their Kick Efficiency from 52% to 72% as they started to control general play.
And, as has often been the case this season, the league leaders looked deadly once Inside 50, led again by spearhead Charlie Macisaac, who slotted 3 goals for the quarter as the visitors slammed on 7.1 from 16 entries, while Old Trinity managed just 1.2 from 12 entries at the other end.
This ruthless efficiency enabled Xavs to transform a 13-point deficit at quarter-time into a 22-point half-time lead.
The disposal count evened back up in the third term, as both teams looked to control possession via uncontested marks. But it was Xavs’ intercept marking that proved the difference. They took 7 Intercept Marks to 2 in the third term, adding 3 goals to 1 from turnover to edge out to a 44-point lead as their committee of goal scorers shared the love around.
By the final term, Xavs’ control was complete. They won the inside ball, then dictated the tempo with uncontested chains, and while the T’s ended up winning the territory battle (15 Inside 50s to 7), they forced them into error – 54% Kick Efficiency for the quarter, with 11 Forward 50 turnovers.
That prevented any late rally from the hosts, who just couldn’t finish their work as Xavs added 3 goals to 2 in the last term to post a comfortable 47-point win that protects their one-game lead at the top of the table.
Ed Delany was excellent for Xavs, with 17 disposals, 12 marks and 2 goals, while 28 touches and 4 Rebounds from Sam Ralph also caught the eye of coach Dan Donati. Another 34 disposals from Campbell Lane saw him retain his position as the #1 Ball-winner in the competition (10 touches clear of Jasper Russell from the Bloods).
Woodrow Medallist Sam Fisher collected 28 disposals, while fellow medallist Marcus Stavrou returned from injury with 19 touches and 5 tackles in his first hit-out for the season.
Christos Manoussakis was superb for the T’s, finishing with 27 disposals, 5 tackles and 8 clearances, while the ever-reliable Hugo McGlashan finished with 26.
Four losses in a row have seen Old Trinity slip into the ‘twilight zone’ in the middle of the ladder – two games out of the Top 4, and two games above the drop zone. If they are to start bridging the gap upwards, it needs to be in the coming weeks, given they face St Kevin’s, Uni Blues and Old Brighton in the next month (with Old Haileybury in there as well).
THE ROAD AHEAD:

Dan Donati (Old Xavs): “The boys were looking forward to playing in Bulleen this week, with the bigger ground in fantastic condition against a side that gave us a fair touch-up the first time around.
“The first quarter was playing out in pretty similar fashion, to be honest, but the boys settled and managed to get the game back on terms and had a handy lead at half-time.
“We were able to maintain our pressure and ball use for the rest of the game, so in the end certainly happy to take the 4 points against a side we really rate.
“Fantastic to finally see Marcus Stavrou back out there playing his first game of the season after a tough time with injury, another game into Sam Fisher was also great as we build into the middle weeks of the year.”
Donald McDonald (Old Trinity): “We started very well, and showed we were capable of putting some good passages of play together, so it gives us something to build on.
“However, we could not capitalise on the opportunities we created to build a bigger lead. To Xavs’ credit, they showed why they are the top side by outscoring us 7 goals to 1 in the second quarter, and controlled the game from there.
“No doubt we are learning as a club what the demands of A-Grade are. Looking at the ladder, you can see the Top 4 are big clubs, and if you have aspirations of being successful, there are plenty of learnings there for us.
“And a shoutout to our whole playing group. The Seniors, Reserves and 19s are all under the pump, and it won’t get any easier. So, our playing group can accept it, or do something about it, as suspensions and injuries create opportunities for individuals who really want to have a crack at this level. It’s a great challenge for us all.”
