French fail to contain Northwind

0
0

Tuesday August 19 15.30

Canada Northwind come into this game with two wins whilst the France Coqs have one win over the Indonesian Garudas.

It will a good measure of the relative positions of two countries on the improve . Cold still conditions perfect for football.

Tall Ruckman #1 Neil Casey immediately gets ball going in the direction for rushed behind then appears on wing to take a great mark and contribute his own minor score.


#7 Adam Nash takes a flying mark passes to #20 Clay Lund for a mark an opening goal for the Northwind.

Valentin Mendoza finds himself on the wrong end of a legal shirtfront and Les Coqs appear in trouble. Guyes like #15 Steve Rutledge, #10 Riley Armstrong and#26 Andy Yardy are taking control.

#1 Neil Casey marks and passes to #8 Jean Rosado on the 50m, then follows up with his own mark and minor score from the 50m line.

Les Coqs are trying hard but many are caught in indecision as to leaving their man and challenge or following their man.

#13 Gregoire Patacq took a good mark on the wing and passed well for a good running goal for the Les Coqs from 35m on the angle.

The Canadian Coach was livid. The Northwind had failed to produce scoreboard pressure and the Coqs had room to improve and they listened to AFL player Daniel Jackson form Richmond with intent.

But the icy Northwind blast from the coach worked. #1 Neil Casey marked a kick-in passed to #7 Adam Nash in the square for a goal.

Then #1 Neil Casey follows up with a tackle that forces a mis kick and minor score only for Les Coqs.

From the kick in Neil’s shot is touched on the line. #34 kicked an opportunistic goal and #7 Adam Nash snapped truly for a goal. #44 Michael Kolwinski marked and goaled from the square.

Half time sounded with the Northwind in control with a good lead on the scoreboard. So when the Les Coqs intercepted a Canadian forward thrust on the wing and passed to the player on the lead to bang through a difficult chance on the angle, the Coqs attacked with renewed vigour.

#13 Gregoire Patacq popped up across the centre locking the ball into the Les Coqs forward line. But it couldn’t last forever. #44 Michael Kolwinski marked and goaled from 35m for the Northwind as did #3 James Duggan.

The last quarter played out similar to the beginning of third with the Coqs opening up to string some good football together and the Northwind failing to convert their advantage.

#7 Adam Nash kicked the only goal for the quarter from a free kick in the square. The results showed that the Coqs were able to restrict the Northwind to 9 goals but lack the key positional players to kick big scores against quality opposition.

Confucius says....footy is the main thing – Japan defeats China at Western Oval

0
0
China and Japan are both Confucian societies with respect for tradition, even though this fact is often deliberately forgotten by leaders with other imperatives or can’t be seen for the material goods of today.
 
But we now have a new tradition of Australian Football. It’s getting stronger, particularly in Tokyo, Osaka and Komazawa in Japan and in Guangzhou and Beijing in China. Perhaps a 21st century Confucius might declare that footy is the main thing.
 
The Japanese, long campaigners at the International Cup (and with their clubs regularly playing against the almost unique expatriate team, the Tokyo Goannas, an unusual phenomenon on the world footy atlas), are experienced footballers.
Japan even had a stalwart barracker, Jim Morton, who has travelled from Darwin to the last five ICs and also seen the Japan team make its debut in the Arafura Games in the 1990s.
 
The Chinese are still relatively new kids on the block, playing at their second International Cup.
 
When a Chinese hooked kick over the shoulder fell just one metre short in the opening minute of the match, it was clear that China would challenge the experienced Japanese team. After several similarly unsuccessful shots, Japan goaled twice later in the first quarter, creating an important, if small, gap, with China only having one point on the board.
 
It was a contrast of styles. In moments, the Japanese passing and marking game looked like a practice drill, like Hawthorn at their best. However, Chinese pressure and tackling made those moments occasional only.
 
By half time, led by several stars, including captain-coach Jun Segikuchi (Japan had lost its Aussie coach just before the flight south after domestic demands intervened!), five time International Cup star Michito Sakaki, who had also played in the Arafura Games in Darwin in the 1990s and trained with Essendon, and the ginger-haired Masaya Nakamura, Japan had four goals on the board. This created a solid margin, with only a solitary goal for China, despite the strong defence of China’s captain coach Jiaming Pi.
 
However, the Chinese kept coming in the second half. And not always scientifically. After some sloppy tackling in the last quarter, one player was red carded for flattening Sakaki. He was reported by an IC 2011 and 2014 experienced central umpire (one of the five American umpires here on scholarships), who later confirmed, prior to the tribunal hearing, that Sakaki had not suffered concussion.
A second goal lowered the margin to 10 points until Japan finally struck back, running out winners by 17 points.
 
Perhaps, in the global world of footy’s International Cup, Confucius might agree that system, skill and running is still more important than pressure.

Canada overpowers running French team

0
0
Another cold Melbourne day, with a cold southerly blowing to the Park St end of the Ransford Oval. Not cold by Canadian standards, or even compared to a Toulouse or Paris winter, but perhaps a shock to the Bordeaux Bombers and Toulouse Hawks members of the French team, coming from summer.
 
The French outran the bigger Canadians in the opening minutes, with scores level at one goal each.
 
Significantly, both teams kicked, marked and handballed with greater consistency than they had done earlier in the tournament. Team cohesion, confidence and basic skills had grown over a short period. The French running game at first challenged the Canadians, but not for long.
 
[See also French fail to contain Northwind for an alternative match report.]
 
In the second quarter, the Canadian blizzard began, although perhaps also energised by some loud and aggressive exhortations from one player, the stuff of a serious footy game perhaps, but not quite in the spirit of the IC, some would say.
 
Unfortunately, for those who believe footy should be played on an oval rather than in the zones created by Paul Roos and his sorcerer’s apprentice, Ross Lyon, at times, aided by the wind and Canadian dominance at times the game was played in a small section of the ground at the Park St end. It is what many of us call ‘Stoppageball’ or now ‘Zoneball’ –it is the game Roos and Lyon created.
 
By half time, the scoreboard read Canada 6. 10. 46 with the French still on that single goal, 1. 1. 7.
 
Canadian dominance soon became a procession and even one almost certain French goal was smothered on the line, with the lead increasing to over nine goals by three quarter time and a final score of 9.15.69 to France 2.3 15.
 
At the same time, the French have come a long way in only their second International Cup. They are now known for their competitiveness in general play, going beyond the theatricality of their supporters. The more powerful Canadians, with a stronger domestic competition and a longer history going back to the 1990s, have improved but they are still in the second rung, below the historic top teams, the South Africans, the New Guineans, the Irish and the Kiwis.

Freedom's finishers in fine form over Fiji

0

This women’s match between the US and Fiji followed on from the men’s match the previous afternoon where the two countries clashed in what turned out to be very heated.
Fortunately while this match saw plenty of physical clashes, but things never looked like escalating to anything more than "in the contest" aggression.
 
Andrea Casillas for the USA kicked the first goal of the match in the first few minutes. From here Fiji managed to lock down the ball around the ground with the Fiji captain Siteri Tadrau playing well on the defensive side of the many packs that formed. Matanisigadrau and Tuilevuka good for Fiji. The US added a second goal late in the quarter and Kastenak could have added a third but her kick went wide after a good leading mark.
 
 The highlight of the quarter for me was US onballer Blatnick’s blind turn around a Fiji defender and then spotting up the CHF with a crisp pass. Fiji managed just the one behind for the quarter and the US lead by two goals at quarter time.

 

The US started well again in the second with a goal to Riehl after a diving mark twenty metres straight out in front and the floater kick went through the big sticks. It would be Kim Hemenway’s quarter though as she roved a loose ball and her high floating kick bounced through for the first of her three goals for the term. Getting in on the act Edwards-Rohner goalled on the run and then set up Kastanek for her first. Matakibau and Delai for Fiji kept busy trying to stem the tide.
 
At half time the game was already looking over with the US taking a 49 point lead into the long break. Unfortunately though for the US Johnson was carried off on the stretcher with possible broken ankle after the half time siren.
 

 

In the third quarter the US continued to dominate but Fiji’s getting back in numbers served to clog up the US forward line. After a behind from Kastanek, the Fiji full back was tackled by Riehl for the US after she played on from the kick-out. It was impressive given the size mismatch, and she was rewarded with the goal from the resulting free kick. Cathy Bale continued to be one of Fiji’s better players. Sherma added a second goal for the Freedom swooped on a loose ball, threaded between three defenders and added a second goal
 
¾ time 10.5 65 lead 0.1 1
 
In the final quarter the Vonu girls definitely picked themselves up for a last all-out assault to try to kick a goal in the match. The pushed hard contest to contest and sent the ball inside the 50 metre arc but the Freedom defence was staunch. Having seen off this thrust the Freedom placed two cherries on top with goals to Estrada and Kastanek, finally running out winners by 78 points.

IC14 Vignettes – Jeff Talmadge (USA Revolution)

0
0


The USA Revolution has had a good run so far in the International Cup. On a win/loss ratio, their 3 wins from four starts has been a solid return. Jeff Talmadge is a part of the squad, and has shared some of his insights with us.

“I started playing footy in April 2013 so close to a year and a half. It’s been quite an adventure in such a short period of time. I was encouraged to come and check out the club in my home town, Austin, Texas, by an Aussie friend of mine from Adelaide. After my first game, I was absolutely hooked.”

“The game is continuing to grow through stories similar to mine. Despite being around for over a decade, my club back home, the Austin Crows, has grown exponentially in the last few years as we build continuity year-to-year and a strong club culture. Once you give someone a taste of footy, there's almost never turning back, so the key is to get them in a jumper and throw them into the action.”

“Melbourne has been an incredible host city - one couldn't ask for more. We were fortunate enough as well to be introduced to the Montrose Football Club who graciously hosted our team for a Thursday night function in addition to our game against New Zealand. Although the match itself didn't provide us with the result we were looking for, it was by far the experience I'll cherish most when I'm back in the US.”

“If I had to guess, I think this is PNG's year to take the cup for the men's. As for the women, I think Ireland will be a tough team to beat. However, you never know.”

“One thing I've learned about Australian culture is the love for travel. If anyone is passing through Austin, Texas while in the states, please don't hesitate to come out for a training session with us. Whether you're there for a week, month, or year, we'd be happy to have you. Look us up on Facebook - Austin Crows.”

Good luck to Jeff and the USA Revolution for the remainder of the International Cu ...

Scrambleball...hard fought ground game between the Canadian Midnight Suns and the USA Liberty

0
0
In 2014, the standard of play at its best has reached a new level, higher than in the four previous ICs. At the same time, mirroring the AFL game (that is footy at the top level) at its worst it has degenerated into scrambleball as a flood of players converges on the ball, and plays the game in 40% of the ground.
 
As in the AFL, blame the coaches, the poachers who have created the contemporary stoppage game, even if as in the best IC games and for periods in the best AFL games, it is still a running, skilful spectacular game.
Why blame the coaches? As Paul Roos and Ross Lyon created the forward press (after Rodney Eade’s flood and Collingwood’s boundary line game), many IC teams have Australian coaches who teach them the current negative approach to play.
 
Like the AFL teams, they play what I call ‘Zoneball’, with often most players in about 40% of the ground – even though the Coach as Poacher, Paul Roos, declared that a zone restriction rule would lead to ‘Zoneball’. Except he forgot that he had already created it.
 
It was indeed the game played in those early years after 1858 when there were unlimited players, and, indeed it had its modern beginnings in those Hawthorn sides from the 1960s and 1970s which focused on ‘numbers at the ball’, ‘hunting in packs’ and ‘pressure, pressure, pressure’.
 
Although the contest between the Midnight Suns and the Liberty had some excitement in the feisty goal square contests between the big and strong American fullback, Elizabeth Even, and several Canadian forwards, too often it was numbers around the ball.
 
And that is a criticism of how the game has gone in recent years, far more than of these two teams which both contain some players still fairly new to the game.
 
While the Canadians exercised early dominance, leading by 3 3 21 to a solitary point at half time, the Americans came back, and the Canadian camp was clearly worried at three quarter time, despite leading 4 3 27 to 2 3 15. However, after a continuing battle of the defences and at times as many smothers as kicks, a single Canadian goal took the Midnight Suns to a 20 point victory.
 
During the game, we saw the good, the bad and ugly, off field. The last was in the form of the tinpot official who didn’t appreciate the co-operative and festive spirit of the IC and thought he would like to clear the area inside the boundary fence (which would need clearing about fifty or so people). In a Cup with its elements of festival, the American runner had luminous yellow tracky daks and hat, although some said Captain America the day before was even more colourful. Differently, the improvised American interchange was marked by two rolled orange T-shirts, while the American player wearing glasses evoked memories of Essendon full forward Geoff Blethyn. Finally, those important people, the timekeepers and scorers were running on limited resources - they had a siren but no table.
 
I also spoke, by chance, to Chantal Spindler, one of the key cogs in the Canadian women’s footy machine, who said that there were now clubs in 9 Canadian cities even though the women’s game is only around a decade old, and that some women’s clubs were formed before the men’s teams. It is not surprising that the Canadian first team, the Northern Lights, was particularly strong, with over 100 players at the last nationals. Also strong were their traditional rivals, the Americans, against whom they played in the 49th Parallel Cup in non-IC years. For geographically challenged Aussies, the parallel is the border latitude line between the two North American countries. The similar burgeoning women’s footy story in the US, as in its growth in Australia, is detailed on the USAFL website: http://usafl.com/women

IC14 Vignettes – Amina Huni (Tonga Storm)

0
0

At just 165 centimetres in height, Amina Humi might go close to one of the smallest full backs going around. Hard to image her up against modern day giants like Daniher (201cm), Tippett (202cm) or even Cloke (196cm). But in her own field, harassing opposition full forwards, she is a Tongan giant.

Our interview took a different direction. As a Hawthorn supporter, she still lists her footy idol as Lance Franklin. Amina says that her career highlight to date has been this current International Cup.

At just 21 years of age, Amina, who plays for the Nukalofa team back in Tonga, should look forward to a long career representing her country.

Amina believes that PNG will take home the men’s title at this year’s event and that the women from the Canada Northern Lights will win the women’s competition.

Turning to non-football matters, Amina is a fan of The Simpsons, and prefers Star Wars to Star Trek. She is also a fan of beef & vegetable soup and her sporting idol is All-Black Dan Carter.

Her funniest football moments are the times she sees her facial expressions in photos of her being tackled. Amina also chooses the check-side kick over the banana.

She believes that her team mate, Nelma Ongolea, is the player most likely to be the next Queen of Tonga, but labels another team mate, Malia Hufanga as the stingiest “as she never buys anything”. Amina labels herself as the player that spends the most time in front of the mirror.

We wish Amina and the girls at the Tonga Storm all the best for the rest of their time here in Melbourne for the international Cu ...

Northwind outlast Tonga for Div 1 trophy

0
0

With the early afternoon sun at McAlister oval nudging the temperature around and over 20C – the Canadian Northwind lined up ready to face the Tongan Storm in the 5th v 6th battle to decide the Division 1 premier. With a negligible breeze from the south aiding the Tongans it was the Northwind that looked sharpest from the outset.

Perhaps the greatest highlight of the game was one of the earliest when Adam “Nashy” Nash (#7) levered his legs into his opponent and took the almost horizontal speccie from behind – directly in front – (not as contradictory as it sounds) ; and went back and converted. A couple of minutes later he was perhaps unlucky not to be paid a similar attempt in the goal square but shortly after (#19) Nathan Miller marked an errant soccered kick out of the last line of defence by Tonga. Again – the kick was true and Canada had raced to a 2 goal lead.

With big Neil Casey (#1) on top both in the ruck and around the ground, marking just about everything – and the courageous Duggan (#3) and Ortel (#9) getting into the game at ground level the Canadians were controlling play. However 3 successive behinds ensued and Tonga hadn’t been put away early. However the Storm only managed a behind of their own before (#8) Nathan Strom managed an opportunist goal crumbing the spoil from Tongan #1 on the dangerous Nash.

At the first break the Northwind had established a very handy 20 point ascendancy – perhaps it should have been more. #44 Mike Kolwinski had been working hard across high half forward while the Canadian defence had the Storm forwards pretty well in hand.

Anyone might think the city end was the attacking end as the Storm were a totally different team from the outset of the 2nd term. Their intensity at the ball and the opposition had been turned up several notches and the Northwind now were under pressure, and the ball was spending most its time in the Tongan half. Some of the smaller members were the keys as the ground level effectiveness through #14 up field and #20 inside the forward 50 saw Tonga wresting control in general play. An early miss but then a partially controversial free kick to the Tongan #20 in the goal square paid against the Northwind defender for walking the ball over the goal line. It was probably correct and the Storm had their first major on the board. Shortly after #20 was again in the midst and was caught high in the act of kicking and drew the free – and kicking from the arc managed to clear the line for the 2nd Tongan goal. A quick snap from #7 was off target – but now just 6 pts in it and definitely game on. It was Canada’s turn to attack against the trend and like Tonga in the first, came up short with just a behind when the snap by (#20) Clay Lund went wide. Tonga rebounded rapidly and when the long kick sailed into an open forward line it was Canada’s (#26) Andy Yardy who won the footrace back and screwed the ball back towards the railway side boundary. Tonga again won the ball but a shot went near side out on the full, and Northwind’s Casey took the strong mark as he worked to regain his impact on the game. Again though Tonga attacked and #16 marked and with the aid of a 25m was kicking from the arc but again wasteful as he kicked into the man on the mark. Canada defended toward the boundary and would have been hopeful to lock it in but the ball came out the back and Tonga’s (#18) Fakatoumafi took possession being all over 190 cm and 125 kgs – it was going to take a great tackle to stop him – not quite forthcoming – and under duress he was able to get boot to ball and split the middle. Suddenly a 1 point ball game. That would be the half time margin.

Certainly a tale of two quarters to this point – Tonga having reined their way back into the contest and Canada suddenly looking harassed and perhaps tiring in the Melbourne late August warmth. The Canadians head for the shade of a marquee for the long break.

The third term scoring began with a clumsy late bump on Tonga’s #8; the subsequent downfield free taken by (#6) Rodney Pita from the top of the goal square to give Tonga the lead for the first time. Canada responded though with the quick answer – a free kick from a pack in the forward pocket saw (#9) Justen Ortel breaking clear running in with the advantage to slam it through to regain the lead. Shortly after a marking duel saw most attention on the Umpire who got taken out – but, part of the action saw a free kick paid to Canada’s (#8) Strom and with another safe short at goal. Canada should have been further in front when Ortel from 25m out directly in front put the ball into the man on the mark. Perhaps this was a spark for the Tongan’s who again lifted their workrate and pushed forward again finding (#15) Havea who marked a fair way out near the railway side boundary. Perhaps lacking a sense of urgency he lined up – the kick looked cramped and the umpire had the explanation – the defender had encroached the mark. Take 2 with a 25m penalty but the kick went behind the post. Shortly after though Havea had another chance receiving a handball and snapping from the front of goals. 5.4.34 apiece. It was to be Canada though who finished the quarter the stronger. Canada went forward and scrambled a behind but then a free to (#20) Lund who kicked accurately from a tight angle in the forward pocket.

Perhaps the biggest controversy happened to round out an eventful quarter. A free kick downfield was earned by the gutsy Ortel (#9) who cleared from defensive side of centre – the ball ended up with (#44) Kolwinski but he was too far out. Looking to play on as the siren went it appeared even the chance of a long shot after the siren was off the books – however back near where the free had occurred a brain fade by Tongan #12 drew a yellow card and the umpires ruled that a 25m penalty be applied where the ball was – and so, Kolwinski had the ball in hand, the siren gone – and very much within range. The kick was true and Canada took a crucial 13 point lead into the last break.

The Tongan’s weren’t spent yet and hit back early despite being 1 man down for the first 10 minutes due the yellow card. A long shot from (#6) Pita after intercepting a dangerous defensive kick hacked across the ground – cleared the goal line with the aid of a fair shepherd. Back to 7 points but that would be as close as Tonga got. With big Casey back in command the Canadian’s got back on top – no doubt the 1 extra on the field helped and they were able to create an effective ‘wall’ to continuously repel the Tongan clearances and send Canada back into attack. Tonga though were unlucky when a hands in the back marking attempt saw Nash take a free for Canada – it was hands in the back of a teammate – however Nash missed. Another miss stretched the lead back to 9 points and then a free to Nash who converted from just inside the arc and Canada were 15 clear. Tonga needed a reply and they gave themselves again – attacking to the city end it was big (#15) Havea who took a strong mark but pushed his kick just wide. Back up the other end and Canada moved the ball forward around the railway flank and found Nash over the top in the goal square where he kicked the ball into the top deck of the nearby gum trees. The 20 point margin was the equal highest for the day and time was clearly running out. Tonga managed to create a little more scoreboard respectability while #16 marked and gained a 25m and the kick looked good off the boot only to slam into the goal post; and (#6) Pita followed up with his 3rd to bring it back to 13 points – the final margin.

A deserved win by the Northwind who set it up in the first term but were made to fight it out by a Tongan side that can hold their heads high. The 4 goal third term – the premiership quarter – then put the Northwind in the box seat and they were good enough to win it from there. For Tonga at this standard – you just can’t afford to have a player sent off and that definitely hurt them in the last term.

The Northwind were presented the Division one trophy on the field post game by Brisbane premiership player Chris Johnson.

Footy at its best - Japanese running game overpowers Finns

0
0

It was a slightly dewy morning, even under the bright sun lacking on most days of this festival of footy, when the Finnish Icebreakers and the Japanese Samurai took the field on Ransford Oval at an early 9 am on Friday.

While both teams had struggled against either bigger teams (the Japanese) or more experienced teams (the Finns), it would be a morning of stormy weather for the players from Turku, Salo, Vaasa, and Helsinki. After several matches they had lost some players to injury, others (exchange students and local Finns) to exams, and were soon playing with 17 men – their vacant interchange bench contrasted with the to and fro of the Japanese team.

The first quarter produced some of the best football of the tournament, from the Japanese team. The Japanese combination of sure ball handling, confident marking, sharp passing, chains of handball, switching play, run on football and the metres gained was copybook stuff. It was only qualified by indifferent kicking for goal. Both offline shots and kicks falling one to two metres short.
 

Yosuke Kuno, the big Japan forward, was exercising aerial dominance from the first minutes, although some shots fell short. After a pattern of behinds, Masaya Nakamura kicked truly on the run. By quarter time, the Japanese were dominant, despite the solid resistance of Janne Mannila, with four goals on the board, and seven points from their only weakness, wayward kicking.

The exciting Japanese game continued in the second quarter, with the depleted Finnish team having neither the aerobic fitness nor the interchange players to challenge the running, passing and handballing Japanese who had moved to 6 11 47 by half time.   

The Finns were also limited by a pattern of footy at home, of nine a side on small soccer fields, which encouraged them to pass. This was unproductive against the Japanese who had numbers at the contests. The Samurais were winning all around the ground, led by the running game of Michito Sakaki, the skill, balance and passing of Masaya Nakamura and the marking of Kuno, who was the dominant player on the ground.

This was top class footy watched only by a small crowd on the last pre-grand final day of this successful and popular festival of footy, which also had unprecedented media coverage.

In the second half, the game tightened up. While the Samurais added two more, the Icebreakers tackled more and tried the long kicking game, which allowed some of their taller players to haul in marks.

Despite the Finns having a larger share of the play, the Japanese continued to pour on the goals and the points.

Finally, in the last quarter, the Icebreakers kicked their first major, by the big number 98, Lasse Puntilla, which was signalled at the other end by Nashville goal umpire, Toby Persson (who says that his skill with the flags is not matched by singing ability).

However, in the old saying, bad kicking is bad football, and the Japanese squandering of opportunities to kick goals saw them run second, on percentage, to Sweden in division 2.

A final highlight came at the end of the game when the Finnish and Japanese players came together for a group shot. In IC 2014, once again, footy was bigger than country.

Japan:    4.7   6.11    8.17     12. 19 (91)
Finland: 0.0   0.0      0.0       1.0       (6)

* Times have changed. The Japanese bench had behind it, in a country in love with international popular culture, a poster with the slogan ‘We can do it’.  Originally spoken by ‘Rosie the Riveter’, the Western lady in the poster, it was about a different contest on different fields of play and different oceans, about three quarters of a century ago. And the Finnish lady fan with the blue Mohawk hair added a different touch to the theatre of footy supporters.

GIANTS of China?

0

The GWS GIANTS are exploring playing an AFL match in China for premiership point, i.e. a regular season match.  To promote their quest their players donned International Cup jumpers.

GIANTS CEO David Matthews told Friday’s Daily Telegraph the club were keen to look at new avenues to promote the game overseas.

“We’re pretty ambitious about trying to look for opportunities,” Matthews said. “What the AFL has shown in New Zealand is to play a genuine home-and-away game for four points is the best way to promote the game.

“It seems such a logical step to play a game in China and we’d certainly be putting our hands up if it’s possible.

“It may be the starting point to have an exhibition game, with a match for points down the track. But we’re very keen on the idea, very keen.”

Matthews was with the AFL when they organised an exhibition game between Melbourne and the Brisbane Lions at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai in 2010.  He was General Manager of Game Development in an era of expansion of AFL involvement in the game at grass roots internationally as well.

Mosquitoes IC14 Champions get Grand Final revenge

0
0
Player of the tournament Mick Finn started off the 2014 International Cup Grand Final where he left off in 2011's Grand Final. In a stellar display he kicked all three goals for Ireland. Early in the quarter Finn almost had his first but the kick dropped short and Muiris Bartley couldn’t pick it up as the ball was rushed for a behind. PNG had an early chance but a quick kick from Ema Wartova was cleared off line.
 
Padraig Lucey kicked a point in his first score for the match after marking 20m out. Mick Finn then kicked three in a row from a free kick, a leading mark and a paid tackle.
PNG pegged back a bit of the lead after a rushed behind to PNG after a fresh air kick missed the target and Brendon Beno marked and goaled from the kick after siren from 50m out.
 
At quarter time it was a 12 point lead to Ireland.
 
In a reversal of first quarter the Mosquitos had all the possession but failed to capitalise. When the Mozzies play with purpose they are very dangerous but at times try to do too much which comes undone. PNG failed to make the most of their opportunities with two shots spaying wide, a rushed behind and a couple of balls cleared off the line. Ireland have mounted a number of good rebound attacks which failed to result in a major due to superb defending efforts. Ikupu started to dominate around the ball using Simon and Peni to set up advances.
 
Beno looked the most dangerous forward for PNG with Pirika playing second fiddle. But it was Jason Soong who kicked PNG’s only goal for the quarter snapping truly on his left after roving from the boundary side of the pack.
 
PNG players kicking for goals appeared to be fooled by the 50m arc distance as opposed to the 40m arcs at Royal Park seeing kicks for goal dropping short. The ledger appears more balanced at half time although Ireland holding that 5 point edge.
 
Ireland looked like asserting authority early in the second half as the big men in Lucey and Finn dominated with simple lead mark footy into their forward line. But they failed to capitalise with kicks going wide. Eventually a mark in the pocket was taken by O’Regan who dished off the quick hands to Sean-Paul Henry for a running goal.
 
Allan Farrell in the last line of defence for Ireland at the other end was reading the flight of the ball very well as PNG looked to press on the turnovers taking multiple marks for the quarter. Mick Finn was marking and tackling and looking like the match winner we know he is. But as the quarter wore on though PNG’s teamwork improved and they tried to manufacture breaks throught the corridor which only fell down once the ball was close to goal. Eventually Agita snagged one from Ikupu’s tap down in the pocket for a goal. PNG had a few more chances including Wartova’s kick after the siren. A narrowing 3 point lead to Ireland at three quarter time.
 
To start the final quarter PNG pushed forward again but Farrell continued to deny them. But the next entry saw Wayne Reilly fend off to Gavuri’s face and he received the free kick. His pass to Brendon Beno in pocket for goal was marked and goalled. Mick Finn stepped up again for Ireland, as he marked the kick to the pack from centre and goalled from 50m out in front.
 
The ball went from end to end with Brendon Beno’s snap going out of bounds on the full, Padraig Lucey’s kick going wide for Ireland and Ema Wartovo also kicking wide. Sean-Paul Henry almost pulled off a great intercept that would have left them open to score but was shut down.
 
Breaking the deadlock was Ikupu who took a flying mark from a nice kick into the hotspot fromLaurie Logo. He went back and kicked the goal from 12m out.
 
Gideon Simon then added one from a free kick 20m out from goal straight in front to give PNG a 9 point buffer with the clock running down.
 
Ireland had one last gasp left in them when they needed two. O’Regan kicked a quick pass from the wing to Lucey and he kicked Ireland’s final goal with 30 seconds of time left on the clock and no time on to help them.
 
In the final contest the ball dropped in the middle of the pack and a quick kick out to the PNG 50m arc the ball fell into space as the siren sounded. PNG had battled long through the match to peg back the lead given up very early on. In the end they had more of the running as Ireland slowed. A fitting victory seeing PNG home by just three points to avenge their 2011 Grand Final loss to Ireland. A crowd or around 5000 (est.) watched the Mosquitoes lift the International Cup and John Ikupu was named man of the match.
 
PNG 6.9 (45) defeat Ireland 6.6 (42)

PNG Beno 2, Ikupu, Simon, Soong, Agita

Midnight Suns eclipsed by USA Freedom

0
0

Friday August 22

The USA were out to prove that they belonged in the big league and not with the Canada “B” team.

The Freedom had three goals on the board before the Suns regrouped. They were receiving great drive from #1 Alex Blatnick and a number of others allowing #27 Lindsey Kastanek to run into an open goal. She was unlucky not  to follow up with another but took a pass and goaled from 20m later.

At the break the Canadians were concerned with combating the Freedom’s height advantage but the Freedom had more just that. They had a balanced side, teamwork and a plan. Some better passages of play  went unrewarded but the constant pressure was keeping the scoreboard ticking over with goals.

The third quarter was the Suns best effort and they did well to contain the Freedom to just goals. The Suns were better at ground level with efforts like that of Rennee Tong.

But that was as long as it lasted. The Freedom stepped up again in the last quarter. #14 Kim Hemenway  accepted foot passes to kick two goals and marked well. #1 Alex Blatnick emphasized how good she is when once she roved pack and kick a goal from 25m truly despite being tackled and later roved a ball around a pack, execute a 1~2 then drilled a goal. It might have been worse without  #7 Justine Stevens defensive efforts for the Suns.

The US women showed that although Canada's women overall have now taken a sizeable lead, it may not be an unreachable gap as the best US players clearly have Canada's next tier covered.  The US take home 3rd spot and the Midnight Suns an admirable 4th, showing hwo quickly Canadian footy has developed depth in the women's game.

Ladder swap - Nauru leap over USA

0
0

Friday August  22 13.00

Nauru is a football mad country and they always produce a quality football side from the small island.  It’s a good measure any competing country can use to gauge their own progress.  But in 2014 didn't have the benefit of many of their players getting a grounding in Australia, and the United States Revolution have looked very good this tournament, unlucky with the draw to not be playing for top spot of Division 1.  It didn't quite go according to script though.

The much taller USA were immediately into attack for a minor score. They looked very good, kicking long to good leads and had most of the play.

Against the flow #8 Batsiua Mallinson flew high to cut off a pass with one hand and pull the ball in for a mark , only to run around the mark and drill a goal from 40m.

Two defensive lapses by the Chiefs allowed #Bryan Dragus and #2 Ryan Mc Gettigan to mark and goal. The Chiefs were great in attack like the great pack leap mark of #16 Grundler German to goal but they weren’t so quick to man up in defense allowing the Revolution to move the ball in long passes.  They are a very unpredictable side who have the confidence to take on a tackle and turn into a pack when a handpass seem more likely and they were always prepared to switch very wide if the Revolution hadn’t manned up.

In the second quarter the Revolution appreciated the opportunity to play some open football and they looked very attractive at times when in attack and defended well as well. The ball was racing from one end to the other – a shootout without much scoring but it was the Chiefs who managed to kick two goals. The Revolution coach had emphasized the need to stop the play-on game of the Chiefs for the third quarter and play constructive football themselves.. #9 Jay Levesque took a contested mark 25m out and failed to convert, followed by a missed opportunity at the other end.

The tempo had lifted as the Revolution try to bridge the gap and there pressure lead to some sloppy play by the chiefs  mainly their kicking to uncontested opposition players. It looked like it was only a matter of  time before the game changed ,but the Chiefs tightened up. They never gave up. Even when the ball was a palm’s width from the boundary they were still trying to manufacture an attacking play. Maybe they were  afraid of the Revolution ruck but it didn’t seem that way as the smaller Nauruan players continually leapt skywards to match they much taller opponents

#25 Jason Wililhelm pushes the Revos forward  and influences the game around the ground but they fail to capitalise . # 4 Fiolape Hess Tekai snapped a goal for the Chiefs against the flow from just one inside 50m. Entry. #16 Grundler gerrman marked to pass beautifully to #17 Agege Lennox for a goal.   #8 Batsiua Mallinson  kicks his second goal and when #18 Uera Greigor accepts a short pass to goal, this late flurry by the Chiefs sees them with a handy lead going into the final quarter of the final game.

Like the third quarter the Revos were immediately into attack for four consecutive minor scores. Costly misses deemed not a goal  by the width of the woodwork or a fingertip. It was a frenetic last quarter and the Revos were in touch but running out of time. When #10 Dagiaro Pilo took a contested mark and goaled from 40m. the result was sealed for a hard fought win by the Chiefs.

 

7th v 8th

USA: 2.3 2.6 4.6 4.11 (35)

Nauru: 2.2 4.4 7.6 8.6 (54)

Goals

USA: Dragus 2, McGettigan, Sarbacker

Nauru: Hess Tekai, German, Mallinson, Charles, Aykers, Pilo, Jonas
