Blues Beaten & Eliminated In Bruising Battles

Seniors – KO’ed By A Slicker Outfit

In the Preliminary Final in 2009, the University Blues took on De La Salle in a match that proved to be epic. The Sallians were the victors then, but could only overcome the Blues in extra time. During the 2010 season, De La Salle won at the Main Oval but in their most recent encounter the Blues were the victors on Elsternwick Park. Due to these exciting and varied results, supporters were understandably excited as to what might unfold during the 2010 1^st Semi Final between these two sides.

Finals Football!

Uni Blues 2004

The 2004 version of Uni Blues football was a vintage to be savoured.

The senior team ended a 44-year A-Grade premiership doubt with a dominant season that culminated in a 66-point Grand Final victory over St Bernards. It was one of three Premiership pennants to make their way to Uni Oval in the month of September, with Blues' Reserves and Club 18 teams also taking all before them and netting the ultimate prize.

Tall Tales on the Menu at Blue Bloods Luncheon

Over 50 people - including Blue Bloods, former players and parents - enjoyed an entertaining Blue Bloods luncheon at the Clare Castle Hotel on Saturday prior to the game against Marcellin.

The panel of guest speakers consisted of former Blues skipper Gil McLachlan, former Blues B&F and Hawthorn captain Richie Vandenberg and journalist and grassroots football guru Paul Daffey.

95 Unders Premiers and Champions reunion... is it really 15 years???

It's hard to believe it's 15 years since the all conquering Uni Blues Unders took all before them to become premiers and champions in 1995 to create VAFA history by being the first under 19's team to achieve the feat. In typical Blues fashion the 95 Unders team was made up of players from all over the country and plenty of larger than life characters, including coach Steve Carroll.

Steve managed to harness the combined footballing talents of the team on the field, with much of their success attributed to the "team bonding" sessions regularly held in Naughtons (RIP) and the pavvy with a never ending stream of "pineapples" to fund the bonding and frivolity. However there were occasions when Steve's motivational efforts fell short of the mark. All the lads will remember one particular Saturday morning after a breakfast in the Trinity dining hall (thanks Frank) they adjourned to the junior common room to watch a "motivational" video from his personal collection. It didn't seen to have the desired effect with the boys coming in at quarter time some 5 goals in arrears, but as all quality teams do they shook off their early game stiffness to bring home the bacon.

Justin Jamieson's Wedding and the Bali XVIII

On Friday July 9, Uni Blues stalwart Justin Jamieson tied the knot with Vicky Thai in Bali.

Since 1990, Jamo has filled an extraordinary number of roles at Uni Blues. Once upon a time, he was actually a player - a ruckman with a prodigious leap and ponytail that helped him snare a spot in the VAFA State team. Since that time he's also been Reserves Coach, Master of Ceremonies at several functions, club runner, and of course, founder of Spa Pavvy.

In a terrific demonstration of Uni Blues’ ability to form friendships, almost 20 former players made the journey to Bali for the nuptials. In a credit to Jamo, the occasion brought together people who have played for Uni Blues across four decades, starting with Turk in the 70s.
