In the three matches between the teams this year, the Vultures have done the job each time, with the most recent two clashes resulting in Fitzroy being dismantled. Some of these baby Vultures might have to put their premiership celebrations on hold, as a few of them, Lewis Emmerson and Charlie Dillon in particular, probably deserve a long look from Sam Radford on the training track this week. The Vultures have already tasted their premiership success, with their under 19s raising the cup last week. Getting back to rare as rocking horse premiership feats in Premier C, St Bede’s/Mentone is the only club in recent memory to sweep the under 19/reserve/senior premierships in a season, something Fitzroy will be attempting to do. The game was effectively over before play resumed for the final quarter, but Fitzroy wasn’t done yet, extending the margin and setting things up beautifully for a rematch with the Vultures. Cowan, Phibbs and the Chamberlains were doing their best to keep Mazenod in the contest, but they were unable to stop the onslaught. Jack Simcoe and Sam Baker were standouts and Matt Brown was hitting the scoreboard. The few Nodder encroachments on the defensive 50m arc were quickly repelled by the stubborn Roy defence. Fitzroy dominated, with 6.3 to 0.1 to put the result beyond doubt. There was only one team in it for the premiership term. Two late Roy goals gave them the ascendancy as the teams headed into the rooms and it shaped up to be a critical third quarter. The game was tight throughout the first half and, as with most games of this magnitude it was the big guns who were standing up for both sides: Vansittart and Ablett in the red corner Bourbon and Reed in the blue. But you can be sure none of the senior players who take the field on Saturday will be satisfied and we are hoping for an epic clash between these two great sides.įitzroy earned their ticket to the grand final on the back of a fantastic display against the Nodders. Both clubs enter Premier B in 2013 for the first time, which is a credit to everyone involved at Parkdale Vultures and Fitzroy. Standing in their way is a formidable Fitzroy unit, their confidence restored, following an emphatic win over Mazenod in the preliminary final. Many have tried, but only Whitefriars in 1998/99 and Uni Blacks in 2004/05 in the past fifteen years have been able to achieve what Parkdale sets out to do this week: win Division 1/Premier C back-to-back senior premierships. ROYS BELT NODDERS, EARN A CHANCE AT REDEMPTION
