EAST BURWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB
E ST 1911
RAMPAGE
On Tuesday evening the EBFC Senior Committee
met to review the
club’s progress
this season. Part
President: of the review inRob Peak cluded meeting
with the Senior
Coach to gain his input and assessment
of the situation. Clearly the on field
results have been disappointing to all
concerned, especially given the consensus that at least two of the games played
this year were considered winnable by
all involved. There is no panic, however the next two home games against
Mulgrave and Scoresby will clearly define the 2015 season for the club and
where we can expect to be in 2016.
One of the other matters raised, was
the composition of the Senior Committee itself. With the resignations of Colleen Tainton and Jacob Gooden, plus
the unavailability of Keith Putt due to
serious health issues, we are seriously
strained and under resourced at an administrative level. A couple of possible
candidates were identified and will be
contacted over the next few days, however I urge anyone associated with the
Rams, past or present, who would like
to help spread the workload, to contact
me or any other of the Committee
members. From an administrative
perspective EBFC will compile a detailed players register covering contact details, work profession etc. to
ensure all members of the club can be
easily contacted and projects requiring external assistance can be resourced through those associated with
the club. By way of example: Our
canteen manager Val wishes to have
her home re-wired and is seeking the
services of an appropriately qualified
electrician to undertake the work. If
anyone is interested, please contact
Val directly. Additionally we still require carpentry work on the internal
stairs in the scoreboard, as well as the
replacement of the viewing windows.
David Wright-Neville is the best contact for these tasks.
On a more proactive front, the Committee has decided to appoint an Under 19’s coach for the 2016 season as
soon as possible in 2015. Rather than
wait to the eleventh hour, it is the
target for the Rams to have its Under
19 team for 2016 well in place before
the end of this year. Those interested
in being involved in this project
should contact Andy Worner in the
first instance.

It’s difficult to separate our last 8 quarters of
football, let alone shed any real positives on
our poor performances. Granted we played
against two very formidable, talented and
physically strong opponents, but we are at a
loss to offer up any feasible excuses for our
unwillingness to stand up and fight, both as
Senior Coach
David Calthorpe individuals, and as a team.

Round 4
We knew this week against Croydon was going to be a
big ask. But as we prepared, I felt we were focused
enough to give it a real crack. Before the game we spoke
about the importance of winning contested footy and I
also put it on a couple of blokes who needed to improve
and have more of a presence in the game.
The 1st quarter I was really pleased by the way we went
Reserves Coach: about it. We were all in having a real crack and first to
Craig O’Malley the footy, it seemed we had Croydon on the back foot.
Was also pleased with the boys I put it to before the
game, who responded well to the Rev up.
Unfortunately after quarter time all this hard work and commitment had
seemed to be lost. And basically from there, Croydon showed why they’re on
top of the ladder and simply ran away with it.
The reserves as an entire group just can't except that these performances are
good enough. We must be stronger and harder at the footy and in the mind.
One quarter of footy just simply won't cut it.
So we must work in these areas this week and head to Doncaster to put it all
into practice.
Choc
Round 5
After loosing a couple of blokes to injury last week and a couple more already
injured and not quite ready to go this week, we went into the game with 15 fit
players. I still didn't want us to use this as an excuse, but the bottom line was,
they had six on the bench and we basically had none.
With a strong breeze against us in the 1st quarter, I was still reasonably happy
that we were still within 4 goals. But unfortunately we couldn't use the breeze
in the 2nd quarter as well as we should’ve and from there we were just chasing
tale. We obviously ran out of legs far too early, but I suppose it was always
going to happen when you’re light on numbers. In saying that, I was still
pleased with the efforts of some, especially those through the midfield who
basically ran and tried all day.
This week we should get a few back and be much more competitive. The next
two weeks especially are massive for both grades and the whole club as Mulgrave and Scoresby aren't going that well either. So again we regroup and work
on the basics and implement them more next Saturday and we will get much
closer to our first win.

The East Burwood Football Club would like to adopt a proactive approach towards fielding an Under 19’s side
in the EFL next year. To achieve this, the EBFC Committee have decided to seek and appoint an Under 19’s
coach this year, with the view to assembling at least one team for 2016. The club’s approach will be innovative
and different, offering potential players a great opportunity to play at a top class home ground facility on a low
cost basis.
Those interested in applying for the position, can send their application together with a brief resume to the
EBFC Junior President, Andy Worner at [email protected] .
Any players wishing to play next year at the Under 19’s level for East Burwood can also leave their contact details with Andy.

A great turn around for our Under 17 team who
knocked up their first win for the season last week.
This team has showed great resilience and
strength over recent weeks and last weekend they
were rewarded with a come from behind win against
Rowville. Congratulations to all the boys and particularly the coaching staff led by Jarred Stafford. We
look forward to continued development and progress
from this group of boys.
Our Under 12 team had a great fighting win last
weekend as well as our Under 14 C and Under 14 A
team. Whilst the wins are nice, the pleasing aspect is
the development of the players. This is particularly
the case with our two Under 9 teams and the Under
10 and 11 boys. Some great players and great coaches
certainly help.
Congratulations to Matthew Mundos from our Under
14 team. Matt has been advised this week that he has
been selected to play for Victoria in the Under 15
team. This achievement by itself is sensational, but
even more meritorious when you consider Matt is
just one of 4 boys in the state to be selected in this
team as a bottom age player. Matthew will play in the
national carnival to be held in Geelong later this year.
We wish Matt all the best for this and will keep you
all updated on his progress.
Our major fundraising event for the year will be held
on Saturday 13 June in the clubrooms - EBJFC Comedy Night. We would like to invite all members of the
club to this event. Please see Andy Worner, John
Brady or Paul Davidson for more details. This event
will be sold out, so please book in early for what
promises to be a great night.
Next weekend v Scoresby we have organised some
grid games during half-time of the senior game. Our
Auskick centres will be attending, so please ensure
you support our smallest Rams on the day.
Go Rams

game . If you can spare some
time, please contact David
Wright-Neville or Peter White.
We also need supporters to
come along this week and

over the line. There’s nothing
like a win to lift morale
around the club.
So come on down .
East Burwood Darts Club
Ramrods on the March
Round 7 The Ramrods took on our senior team and showed
that it takes a total commitment from all team members to
have a win. The Ramrods played the best Darts they have
played for some time, they were almost unstoppable with the
highlight being a 120 peg by Wayne Putt in the doubles and a
180 by TonyCrampton.
Going into the singles the Ramrods were 5-0 needing only
one singles win for Victory. The Rammers being the top side
they are started to take the ascendency winning the next 4
games, but Tony won his match thus handing Ramrods the
victory 6-5 well played Ramrods it was a great win.
Round 8 The Rammers were shocked back into action with
their loss to the Ramrods the previous week to have a tremendous win over top side the Sports Stars. Ash White was on
fire with a 180 and the team pegging extremely well, they
recorded a convincing win 8-3.
The Ramrods continued there great form to defeat the Rear
Guards 7-4 Tony has started playing the darts we know he’s
capable of and the other team members have lifted and are
now playing with more team spirit and encouragement. Next
week the Rammers take on arch rivals the Dales and the Ramrods take on top side the Ringwood Aces.
Question - can the Ramrods take another scalp ?
