Bonds lost as home goes bust
By Neil Walker THE families of elderly relatives at an aged care home in Mentone have lost large sums of money after the business went bust. Mentone Gardens went into voluntary administration in June and creditors have been advised there is little chance more than $4 million in money handed over to the former owners of the business would be recovered. ABC News reported more than 30 creditors who attended a meeting held by administrator Mathew Gollant of Foremans Business Services earlier this month were informed money paid as bonds to secure residency at Mentone Gardens for elderly relatives had effectively disappeared. Aged care placement consultant Aged Care Connect said it first became aware of financial issues at Mentone Gardens in April when it was hired by the family of a recently deceased relative to try to recover bond money paid to the owners. Mentone Gardens was operated by Parklane Assets, a company owned by Gela and William Newitt. “At the time I thought it was going to be straightforward but it took a long time to get in touch with the owners,” Aged Care Connect managing director Ron Carroll told The News. When I eventually spoke with Gela Newitt
she told me the business was in trouble.” Mr Carroll said bond money should have been put into a trust account, but state government legislation at the time did not make this mandatory. He understood most families had paid a bond of about $300,000 per person in care at the Mentone hospice. Mentone Gardens was a state governmentregulated supported residential service, registered with and monitored by the Victorian Department of Health. In July last year, Victorian Health and Ageing Minister David Davis advised new laws provided “new financial protections” to SRS residents, including the requirement that bond money be held in a trust account. This requirement, effective as part of the new laws that came into effect from 1 July 2012, seems to have provided no retrospective protection to Mentone Gardens residents. A Department of Health spokesperson said they had discovered there was financial problems at Mentone Gardens at the start of this year but once a company goes into administration, investigations are taken over by the administrator. “Our role is to ensure residents continue to receive appropriate care and services are ongoing,” the spokesperson said.

Pupils embrace money market
Chelsea – Mordialloc
CARRUM Primary School held its annual Market Day last week. Pupils shopped at market stalls set up by their classmates, buying items and services with banknotes issued by the school’s own ‘Bank of Carrum’. The market day teaches pupils the value of money, how to budget and how to promote themselves and their businesses.
Can you help? These employers did.
Teacher Marcus Mulcahy said the market had its best year yet in terms of creativity. “We decided there would be no selling lollies this year to encourage the children to be inventive with ideas for their market stalls,” Mr Mulcahy said. Stalls on the day sold craft items made by pupils and artistic endeavours,
including face painting services. “All stallholders dressed up on the day to encourage customers to visit,” Mr Mulcahy said. Teachers and pupils voted on which stall gave best customer service and value for money. The Pirates Corner stall, selling plundered toy treasures from pupils’ homes, snared the award this year.

KINGSTON Arts is bringing together three leading experts for its final free art forum for the year to discuss the role of art in connecting the community and environment. Sustainability in art is the connection between nature and culture, art and ecology. Fresh from his three-month residency in Norway, Cameron Robbins will discuss his innovative use of natural forces and kinetic energy to produce site-specific installations. Dr Josh Wodak, environmental artist and production manager at Carbon Arts, will give an insight into the vital collaborations between Carbon Arts, artists and partner organisations that explore the connection of sustainability, science, art, technology and public space. Dr Linda Williams, an associate professor at the School of Art at RMIT University, leads a global research project called Spatial Dialogues: Public Art & Climate Change and will discuss cultural and social theory and ecological critique. The forum, part of Kingston Art’s Schmooze series of events, will be held on Sunday 6 October at the Shirley Burke Theatre, Parkdale at 2-4pm. The event is free but bookings are essential. Call Kingston Council on 9556 4440.

High-tech fight against family violence By Chris Brennan POLICE and community health officials have welcomed the launch of an online service that provides 24-hour assistance to people who have experienced family violence. The Ask Someone website and mobile phone application provides access to free professional support and information for anyone who has suffered family violence in any form or has used violence against a family member. Kingston residents can use the service to access a variety of support organisations in Melbourne’s south, including medical, legal and community services as well as police. The service was developed by the Southern Metropolitan Region Integrated Family Violence Executive in
response to rising concerns about increasing reports of domestic violence, with Victoria Police statistics revealing an increase of almost 400 per cent in family violence-related crimes over the past 10 years. Southern Metropolitan Regional Integration Family Violence coordinator Linda Watson said domestic violence included physical harm, sexual assault, emotional, psychological, verbal, economic and social abuse. “It also covers threats to harm another family member or pets, and children who hear, witness or are exposed to the effects of family violence,� she said. Ask Someone provided a “unique referral pathway� designed to link practitioners in the legal and family violence support services with clients. “Support services offer a range of care from early intervention to cri-

sis response to women and children escaping family violence though to recovery. There are also programs to change the behaviour of men who use violence against their family. “Ask Someone brings another avenue for people to access these important services from a computer, smart phone or tablet safely and confidentially for free, 24/7.� The rate of crime linked to family violence in Kingston has increased significantly in recent years, with 852 incidents per 100,000 people recorded in 2012-13, compared to 480 offences in 2008-09. Kingston police commander Inspector Bruce Wemyss said tackling family violence was a critical issue for both police and the community as a whole. However, he said much of the rise in family violence incidents stemmed from increasing rates of reporting
due to education and awareness campaigns. “Family violence related assaults remain a priority for police and statistical increases for these offences may suggest that more victims have the confidence to report,� he said. “The divisional family violence unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and support victims.� Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay also highlighted family violence as an area of growing concern for police across the state when the latest crime statistics for the 12 months to June 30 were released recently. “We know that family violence-related crime is significantly impacting on our crime statistics,� Mr Lay said. “Over the past 10 years, family violence-related crime against the person has increased by nearly 400 per cent.�
SCHOOL students have the chance to win prizes and improve their fitness simply by participating in this year’s Walk to School initiative. Kingston Council, in partnership with VicHealth, is working with primary schools to encourage students to walk to and from school every day during November. Children can keep track of their walks, with the help of a parent or teacher, using the Walk to School website and app. VicHealth hopes the young participants will build healthy habits and relationships for life. Last year’s Walk to School event attracted a record number of participants across Victoria. About 11,500 primary school children walked a total of 241,115 km. Registration for Walk to School is now open. Schools interested in participating should contact Kingston Council’s road safety officer on 1300 653 356.

New angle on mooring works
Seniors fest hits it for six
By Neil Walker HEAVY machinery has been brought in to finish mooring works on Mordialloc Creek. A large pile-driver vessel has spent the past couple of weeks at the creek installing new mooring poles as part of the $6 million dredging project. Carrum Downs-based marine construction specialist KV Johnson is installing the poles as part of a new layout plan agreed between boat users and Kingston Council. The work had originally been due to be completed by the end of August, but heavy-duty equipment had to be brought in to ensure the mooring poles were installed deep enough into the creek bed to remain standing upright. Some of the poles originally installed this year had slumped to an angle and had to be re-installed. Kingston Council acting CEO Paul Franklin said the works were the final phase of the dredging project, which had been partly funded by the state government. “Some small delays were due to council’s commitment to engage with boat users and make sure the mooring layout met their needs,” Mr Franklin said. “It was also difficult to get suitable contractors in a short time-frame as there are a limited number of contractors qualified to do such works”. Mordialloc Creek Community convener Chris French said the contractor had been “very helpful and professional”. Mr French said it had taken some time for council to realise the cor-
BOOKINGS are now being taken for the many activities on offer throughout October during the sixth annual Kingston Seniors Festival. The program, presented by Kingston Council and community groups, features more than 130 events and activities across the municipality, ranging from bike riding, indoor bowls and badminton to exploring gardens and creating a pottery pieces. Most of the events are free, but bookings are essential. Wildlife documentary maker David Parer will present excerpts from Wolves of the Sea and Dragons of the Galapagos and answer questions about his internationally acclaimed films. Musical entertainment includes Jazz it Up with Mentone Probus on 1 October and Elvis in Kingston on 23 October). Vibrant multicultural events include a Vietnamese celebration, Chinese Lantern Festival and Turkish Delights including Spanish and Turkish entertainment and food. Seniors can jump on a Double Decker Mystery Bus Tour or those who prefer to be behind the wheel can refresh their road rule knowledge and learn how to drive safer for longer at a Drive for Life course. Full details for the 2013 Kingston Seniors Festival program can be obtained from libriaries, community centres and council’s customer service team.

Cameras snap into action PENINSULA Link freeway speed cameras were turned on for the first time last Friday morning, four days later than originally scheduled, but just in time for the school holidays. Speed cameras have been installed at six sites, with two point-to-point sections and three instantaneous detection points in either direction at each. Messages on so-called variable message signs along the freeway changed to “Cameras enforcing now” in the early hours of Friday morning. The warning will stay in place for the next month. Road Policing Command Superintendent Dean McWhirter said drivers needed to take extra care over the busy school holiday period on the Mornington Peninsula.
“This is a timely reminder to everyone to obey the speed limit and ensure you arrive at your holiday destination safely,” he said. “We are giving the public plenty of warning that the cameras will be activated and enforcing from midnight. If you are heading down to the Mornington Peninsula for the holidays with your family, take care on the roads, drive within the signed speed limit and you won’t get fined.” A recent test of the cameras detected more than 7500 motorists exceeding the speed limit over a 14-day period. Of those, more than 500 motorists were exceeding the limit by 15km/h or more and 66 of those would have lost their licences for excessive speeding.
Curtain closer: IKARII bandmates Riki Platt, left, Mike Power, Sean Marsh and Tim Haberfield are set to play one last series of concerts and release an new album before leaving the stage as a group.
IKARII hits the final chord
THE Frankston and Mornington Peninsula-based rock band IKARII is breaking up. The group’s four members made the announcement to their Facebook friends last week. “After seven years of playing music in IKARII with three people who have become my closest friends, I have decided it is time to move on and embrace other aspects of life,” guitarist Mike Power wrote in a letter to fans. “After telling the guys, they all agreed that if I left they wouldn't replace me as it wouldn’t be the same IKARII.”
WINDOW TINTING
The timing of the split comes as the band – Power, Sean Marsh (guitar, vocals), Riki Platt (drums) and Tim Haberfield (bass) – was about to release a new album recorded and written over the past two years. The ironically titled Never is a Long Time, due in early October, will still be released and coincide with what will now be a farewell tour. “We are definitely still releasing the album and have never been more excited to do so,” Power said. “These are some our best tracks, carefully crafted over the past two years.”
HOMES
A music video of The Darkest Blue, from the band’s new album, is on YouTube. IKARII’s final Victorian regional tour will be in October and November with its last Frankston gig at Bar Twelve on Saturday 5 October. The band’s final show will be at Cherry Bar, AC/DC Lane, Melbourne, on Friday 8 November. Go to www.facebook.com/ikariirock for tour dates. Never is a Long Time will be available digitally on iTunes from 5 October.

Families lose bonds as aged care home folds Continued from Page 1 Families at the creditors’ meeting expressed frustration at an apparent lack of supervision by the department, according to ABC News. Administrator Foremans Business Services advised The News that no further information could legally be provided because Parklane Assets was now officially in liquidation. Liquidator Dye & Co did not respond to requests for comment. The Department of Health advised Mentone Gardens had effectively been sold to new owners. “The department has approved a change of ownership application for Mentone Gardens SRS,” a spokesperson said. “This will ensure the ongoing operation of the facility”. The new owners of the facility, who confirmed they had taken over the aged care home last Monday, expressed sympathy for the families’ situation, but stressed issues under the previous ownership were unrelated to its business. They advised the name of the care home will be changed to The Grand Villa Mentone. It was confirmed that no residents
had been forced to leave. They said families with long-term residents at the hospice were pleased about the lack of disruption to living arrangements. Aged Care Connect’s Ron Carroll said many families of those living at Mentone Gardens would not want the facility to be shut down as there would be nowhere for their relatives to go but he was surprised a business monitored by the Department of Health could change hands without any consideration for those who had previously lost money. “It does seem strange the money has disappeared and the business just keeps going,” Mr Carroll said. He also said families at other aged care homes had contacted him worried about bonds they had paid elsewhere to have elderly relatives placed in care. He said funds at fully Commonwealth regulated facilities are guaranteed by the federal government, even if the business failed. He urged families to check whether aged care facilities are registered with the Commonwealth. The News was unable to contact previous Mentone Gardens owners Gela and William Newitt.

Family foursome on a roll THREE generations of the Costolloe family now don the whites at Edithvale Bowling Club. Grandfather Ray, 82, and father Raymond, 46, have been joined by David, 20, and Jason, 22, to practice and play together after the youngest members of the family joined the club last season. Raymond said the social aspect of the game had brought the family closer together and benefited youngest son David most of all. David has been
diagnosed with autism and Asperger syndrome. “He was at the stage where he didn’t want to go out of the house but getting down to the club for a few games of bowls has really improved his life elsewhere,” Raymond said. The Costolloes play every Saturday in the club’s pennant competition and practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Raymond ‘Junior’ is a relative newcomer to the game, having played for only a few years, compared to his fa-
ther’s decades of match practice. Raymond took up bowls after he suffered a series of hamstring injuries while playing baseball. He won the club championship in his forth season of competitive bowling. Edithvale Bowling Club launched its 2013 season earlier this month. New members interested in joining the club should call 9772 2020 or email ebc3196@yahoo.com.au for further information.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
America getting a crash course in Australia, man injured in landslide Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 September 1913. MR Fred Davison, President of the Australian Society of America, has contributed an article to “The Big Aus” in which he contends that if exhibits of Australian products were displayed in America, lantern slides of Australian country and towns shown, and interesting lectures delivered, the result would be a much more correct knowledge of Australia by Americans, a substantial increase of business between the two countries, and genuine settlers for the wasteland in Australia. Two hundred thousand Americans leave the United States every year to settle in Canada. But they do not leave because they get a vague notion that Canada is a pretty good place to go to. Last year Canada signed 7000 advertising contracts with the newspapers. She has exhibited lecturers in the States, and the lecturers get what they go after. Canada counts that the settler is worth paying good money for, and she pays it, not haphazardly, but systematically. She wants the settler, and she secures him. Australia, he adds, must do the same. “She has very much more to offer than has Canada, only the folks have nothing but wrong notions about Australia, while the Canadian sees to it that they know what there is to know about Canada - if it be good. Thousands of Americans - genuine settlers - can be induced to settle in the Northern Territory if the country and its prospects are made known to them.” *** AN accident happened last week to
PAGE 18
one of the employees, named James, while working at the Naval Base. While on duty, a fall of earth occurred, which fell on James. Luckily although severe enough to cause the unfortunate man intense pain, nothing serious occurred. After receiving the attention of the first aid attendant, we are pleased to report the patient is progressing satisfactorily. *** THE report of the Mornington race club meeting was received too late for publication, but will appear next issue. A programme of 7 events was drawn up, and the prize money was increased from £72 to £81. *** MR Leslie Westaway, of Somerville, had a shock one day last week. A jibbing pony started off suddenly, when he slipped and fell. The wheel of the vehicle went over his leg, and somewhat bruised it. He is now limping round at his work. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co., will hold their usual monthly market at Tanti on Monday, October 6th. On Thursday, October 9th, the same firm will conduct a special horse sale at the Tanti Corporation Yards when a good yarding is expected. *** MR Jos.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 25 September 2013
Monday evening, the 29th inst, under the auspices of the Progress Association. As the lecturer has such a world wide knowledge of his subject, which is to be on the hatching and rearing of chickens and all poultry, all interested should attend. The lecture starts at 8 p.m., and is free to all. *** THE committee of the Somerville Mechanics’ is to be congratulated on the new departure it made on Wednesday night of last week, when arrangements were made with Mr Le Souef to give his lecture on the bird life of the islands off the coast of Queensland and the islands in Bass Straits. There was a good attendance of both young and the more matured. The pictures manipulated by Mr Searle were with one exception taken from life and were most interesting. This class of entertainment is a treat and the committee are to be complimented for this move in an educational direction. A vote of thanks was moved and carried by acclamation, to the lecturer and his assistant. *** CLARENCE H. Smith, Limited, Ardrossan, South Australia, advertises in our columns that agents are wanted everywhere to sell on commission the famous Smith ploughs. *** THE next of the series of socials in connection with St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, will take place in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured. *** THE death occurred at Somerville on Tuesday, 23rd inst., of Mr Henry
Joseph Noble, aged 54 years. The deceased gentleman was a resident of the district for many years, and was well known and highly respected throughout the Peninsula. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn their loss, and we extend to them our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. *** THE first train to travel along the new line which is in construction from Crib Point railway station, to the Naval Base Depot ran on Wednesday. This line is to be used for Base purposes only, and is between two and three miles in length. *** THE weekly assembly that is being held every Tuesday in the local hall as well patronised last week, it being the monthly long night. These dances, which are thoroughly enjoyable, are the means of bringing many friends and neighbours together. *** THE concert and dance held in the hall on Thursday by the Hastings Variety Company was a great success. A full report will appear in next week’s issue. *** DEEP sympathy is expressed by many of the old residents on hearing of the death of Mr H. Peddle, the much valued postmaster at Hastings. Mr Peddle was much esteemed by those who had a distance to travel. When doing any business he was always willing to help them in any way. *** THE annual meeting of the cricket club was rather hurriedly called, and was held on Wednesday, 17th inst. It was intended to wait until after
the first meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association had been held, but time would not permit any further delay. About a dozen members were present, and the necessary arrangements for carrying on the club for another season were completed. The secretary (Mr A. E. Hollier) read the annual report, balance sheet and averages for the past season, all of which pointed to the flourishing condition of the club. The highest batting average recorded by Mr J. D. Grant, was as follows:- 14 innings, 396 runs, highest score 74, not out 2, average 33. The following splendid bowling average was put up by Mr Fred Floyd:- 14 overs, 29 maidens, 808 runs, 52 wickets, average 592. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £3 11s 11d. *** BEFORE Messrs P. Cohen P.M, J. G. Barrett, G. Flood, E. L McCaughan, A. E. Bates, E . Duffus and Dr Somers J’s.P, Mrs O. Gorman v. W. Hendricks, claim for £1 for board and lodging. An order was made for the amount with 5s costs. James White sued Thomas O’Connor, claim for £12 amount due for a pony sold and delivered. Mr McInerney appeared for complainant and Mr Cook for defendant. This case was heard before a local Bench of Magistrates on the 11th inst., and as they could not agree the case was adjourned in order that witnesses who were unable to attend, and it being also Mr Cohen’s day. After several witnesses were called on both sides, the case was dismissed with £5 costs against complainant. A number of renewals of stage, carriage and carriers’ licenses were granted.
FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
The meaning of existence (and other short stories)
By Stuart McCullough
The Ugly Truth About Being Ugly By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE it. There you are, minding your own business when, out of nowhere, the world’s media descends like rain, wanting to know everything about you. Not because you’ve done something spectacular or have discovered anything miraculous, but just for being yourself. It would be unnerving to say the least. But what might seem intrusive becomes downright insulting when the reason for all this unsolicited attention becomes clear – you have just been voted by a substantial margin the ‘world’s ugliest animal’. It would be difficult to know how to respond. Spare a thought, then, for Australia’s own ‘Blobfish’. The circumstances may not be ideal but, when all’s said and done, everyone loves a winner. Being crowned the world champion of anything will invariably open up a bunch of opportunities, including for this previously underappreciated creature. It begs the obvious question: if being crowned Miss Universe can get you a spot on a travel show and a sponsorship with a major department store, what bounty of riches awaits the Blobfish? Host of Deal or No Deal? Guest judge on The X Factor? Perhaps even a role on Neighbours? Let’s face it – the cast has sorely lacked diversity over the years. They may have had a ‘Toadfish’, but I don’t believe they’ve ever had a ‘Blobfish’. I, for one, look forward to the day when the Blobfish strides
across the stage to collect a Logie for ‘Best New Talent’. If it were up to me, I’d ensure that Australia’s newest hero steered clear of the soaps in favour of something with a little more class. Like TV’s The Bachelor. Forget hauling out some spruced-up male model with chiseled good looks, dimples, designer stubble and abdominals that resemble a slate roof. Being good looking has been done to death and, quite frankly, is as dull as cleaning your ears. In fact, there’s something inherently tiresome about conventionally handsome peo-
ple; so much so that’s it’s bordering on cliché. I’d go so far as to say that shows like The Bachelor suffer greatly because everyone involved is (at least externally speaking) horrifically good-looking. It’s time to mess with the formula. What it needs, more than anything else, is a different perspective. Imagine the Blobfish; dressed in a tuxedo, taking prospective life partners out on dates and dishing out roses like nobody’s business. Now that’s a television show worth watching. But for all the perks that sudden fame can bring, it’s worth remember-
ing that the poor old Blobfish did not shamelessly seek out all this attention. Presumably it did not nominate itself as the ‘world’s ugliest animal’. It wasn’t even an intruder in the Big Brother house. No, the Blobfish has become famous purely by chance. Plucked both from obscurity and the ocean somewhere off the coast of Queensland, it now has to defend itself to a world obsessed with physical appearance. That said; the humble Blobfish is used to pressure. That’s because when it isn’t busy being famous and winning awards, it lives in waters between six and twelve hundred metres deep. At that depth, the pressure is dozens of times greater than at sea level and many creatures, including other members of the Big Brother house, would be unable to survive. This, of course, is not necessarily a bad thing. The Blobfish, however, thrives in this environment by being a gelatinous mass that expends as little energy as possible on fripperies such as swimming. What it hasn’t got in muscles it more than makes up for by not being a fussy eater, consuming any edible matter that happens to float in front of it. As it happens, I took almost exactly the same approach during my teenage years. Just because the Blobfish is unlikely to be confused for George Clooney is no reason to hate him. Besides, what he lacks in traditional good looks he
more than makes up for with personality. And that goes double for the Blobfish. As for me, I feel that this pink, gelatinous mass that floats along the bottom of the ocean may well be something of a kindred spirit. So before we get caught up debating what is and isn’t ugly, allow me to be the first to say: enough! It’s time for us to lighten up. We don’t all need to be supermodels and it would be a horrible world if we were. It’s all a matter of preference anyway. Ugliness, just like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder. There’s no need to accept someone else’s opinion as to what is or isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Beauty is wherever you find it. Even at the bottom of the ocean. I, for one, say give me a Blobfish over The Bachelor any day of the week. Should it happen to be accompanied by chips and a light salad, then so much the better. So to any Blobfish that might be reading this, don’t let others bring you down. I think you’re terrific. I believe you should be celebrated rather than derided and I’d like to see you added to our coat of arms at the earliest opportunity. Why? Because, in a funny kind of way, you represent us all. In truth, there’s a little bit of Blobfish in each and every person. Well done on your award. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Peninsula League 2013 round-up: Eagles eye off back-to-back flags By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-Aspendale coach Troy Shannon is already looking forward to the 2014 season, just a week after tasting the ultimate success in Peninsula League football. After celebrating a sensational come from behind victory against Bonbeach in the Grand Final, Shannon said the focus was now firmly on 2014. “I was reappointed a month before the finals for 2014 and we are already a fair way down the track with a couple of recruits for next year,” Shannon said. “I have no doubt that we’ll be stronger again next season. “There was certainly some chat immediately after the premiership from some of the guys, talking about retiring. However, later in the week, the talk shifted towards going back-toback.” Shannon said 2013 was a sensational year for the club, coming from the wooden spoon the year before. “A lot of people wouldn’t have known that of the 22 who played in the premiership, 18 of those guys played juniors with our club,” Shannon said. “It just goes to show how quickly things can turn around if you recruit wisely. “Matthew Kremmer, Drew Westfield and Markham Johnson were the three big blokes we needed up forward, down back and in the ruck. All played a key role in us winning the flag. Adam Budge was the big, strong midfielder we needed. “We recruited smartly for what we needed and the results didn’t surprise.” Away from the emotion that was
grand final day, Shannon said he never lost faith in his players winning the Grand Final. Down by five goals at three quarter time and with players appearing injured or sick, Edithvale booted six goals in the last quarter to overrun the Sharks. It was an amazing feat. “We always thought that if we were close enough to them at three quarter time, we could give it a real shake. “I just told the players to believe in themselves, don’t leave anything in the tank and try anything and everything to get a spark. “We had a dozen players in the side who had lost two grand finals before and they didn’t want to make it three. From the 16-28 minute mark of the last quarter, the Eagles soared to new levels. Although he tried to play it down, Shannon also masterminded some changes that contributed to the win. He put his A-graders in Tim Mavric, Steve Mannix and Tim Mannix on the ball, Nick Connellan went from full back to full forward, Kremmer was moved out to centre half forward and Brent Bowden was moved to centre half back. “Well, in those situations, you’re either a genius or a mug,” Shannon said. “On reflection, all of those moves paid off for us. However, if we lost, people would have been asking why I did it. “They seemed like logical moves to make, given we had some blokes carrying gastro into the game and the likes of Johnson and Nathan Dunn were injured.
“It all happened for us in 10 minutes of footy. “An early goal to Connellan gave us the hope and then I think things really changed when Mavric gave Mark Tyrell a 10-metre start and chased him down on the wing. “The boys lifted, the crowd got excited and we dominated the remainder of the game. “It was a memorable victory and a great week of celebrations, but now it’s all about 2014. It will be interesting to see what the fallout of the loss will be at Bonbeach. The Sharks had defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and there would have been plenty of soul searching through the week. The finger has been unfairly pointed directly at the coach Steve Capp, who some believe allowed his side to be overrun. The fact is that Capp had good reason to believe in his team’s structures – they had, after all, won 10 in a row. They had also run over many teams in 2013. Momentum is hard to get back once a side and the crowd is up and about. Halfway through the last quarter, the Sharks were still four goals in front. The club as a whole should be hurting after the Grand Final loss, not out looking for a scapegoat. The big talk if the Sharks won the Grand Final was that the likes of Ricky Ferraro and Shane McDonald would chase the big money that has been offered to them over the years. It now appears they may stay to see if they can achieve the ultimate success with their home club.
Third placed Frankston YCW is well down the path of interviewing coaches. Two-time premiership coach Gavin Artico was seen arriving at the club’s decision makers through the week. Whilst there is plenty of speculation about the likes of Byron and Anthony Barry, the strong word is that they are not leaving YCW. That goes for the likes of Kyle Hutchison also, who is rumoured to be on the shopping list of many clubs. The same can’t be said though of forwards David Bodley and Michael Chaplin, along with a couple of younger players like Rhys Johnson, who are in talks with opposition clubs already. Mt Eliza will be looking to add some depth to their team in the off-season, as well as building up a couple of their good Under 18s. There are plenty of them. The future is bright at the Redlegs for a few more years to come and like Edi-Asp, they just need a couple of structural players to shore them up. They lost three of the game’s best last season in Michael Lourey, Sam Lloyd and Scott Simpson. Put them back in and they will challenge for the title again. Mornington needs to add some more experience and harder bodies to its list if it is to move up the ladder next season. Self-belief is something that has been missing for the Dogs for the past six years but they got this back in 2013 and with some hard work in the offseason, they will be there or thereabouts again. Pines missed out on finals by a whisker and had a very good season.
Off-field the club is in good shape and on-field, they are extremely well coached by Steve Ryan. Recruiting hasn’t been easy for the Pythons over the years but they’ll need to improve this to make a move next season. Karingal is at a crossroads. Coach Brendan Dunne has taken the job at Hastings and a number of their stars are already fielding calls from opposition clubs. These names include Steve Charalambous, Cal Dixon, Chris Hay, David Hirst and Jarrod Eames. Quite simply, with no juniors coming through, the Bulls cannot afford to lose even one player. Hirst has applied for the Karingal coaching job and many believe that if he does not get it, he’ll take the Somerville coaching role in Nepean League. Langwarrin can expect to be the big movers in 2014. The Kangas’ second half to the 2013 season was very good. They will appoint a new senior coach within the week. They plan to move heaven and earth to get back a number of the juniors that it lost two seasons ago. Seaford is also looking for a new coach. The Tigers had very strong reserves (with an average age of 22) and their Under 18s finished on top of the ladder. A good coach will see them climb up the ladder again. Braeden Irving is tipped to join his brothers at the Dolphins. Chelsea is looking for a coach. The big word already at the Gulls is that former Melbourne and Brisbane player, Travis Johnstone, is joining the Gulls. Johnstone has also been linked to Bonbeach.

CHELSEA – MORDIALLOC NEWS scoreboard
Tigers fall to Old Xavs in final ST BEDES/MENTONE made it to the ‘big dance’ this season in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) Grand Final on Saturday but were defeated by Old Xaverians who claimed their 13th flag at amateur level. The final score was Old Xavs 13.17 (95) vs St Bedes/Mentone 6.9 (45). It was a tough day for the Tigers. Xavs played with the breeze at their backs and took a 20 point lead into the first break. The Tigers were overrun but Hiwad Shaikaib and Tom Garside were standouts in the backline. The team refused to give up and remained competitive until the final siren even when it became apparent the game was lost. Club statistician Peter Davis said: “We’re all pretty disappointed but there’s a lot this season to build on.” St Bedes/Mentone finished sixth last season so a Grand Final appearance was a vast improvement. The Tigers’ U19 Premier side defeated Old Xavs 14.14.98 to 13.14.92 to claim the Premiership and ensure the future looks bright for the seniors team and the club.

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly IT is always interesting to sit back and watch the fall-out of a Grand Final loss. After going through the season undefeated, Sorrento was smashed in the Grand Final by a side (Dromana) that was never going to achieve anything less than winning the flag in 2013. Sorrento played its grand final against Rosebud in the preliminary the week before and had no gas left in the tank. Was this the fault of the coach? Apparently so, because the Sorrento Football Club called Nepean Team of the Year coach Nick Claringbold on Tuesday night and told him his services were no longer required. Claringbold is the coach who was behind the moves that saw Sorrento win the flag last season, whilst being the off-field man in charge when Troy Schwarze was ‘officially’ the coach. Sorrento’s reason for sacking Claringbold? “We want to move forward next season with a playing coach.” Now, we told our readers a month ago that Sorrento was looking at midfielder Leigh Treeby to take the reins next season. However, despite all the speculation, which was gained more traction two weeks ago, Claringbold was never spoken to by the club. Not once was he asked to come in and stake his claim for the job. Despite the media reports, never was he called to be told the “club was going through a process”. Instead, Claringbold had to be given filtered information from friends at the club to understand what was going on. This is extremely poor management from a club that consistently pounds its chest about how well it does things. Regardless, Claringbold was typically professional when he spoke with us after his sacking. “I’m obviously very disappointed but the club wanted to move in a certain direction,” Claringbold said. “They want a playing coach and unfortunately I’m not young enough to play anymore,” he joked. Asked how he felt about the media knowing more about what was going
on than him, again he replied with: “that was very disappointing also”. There’s a lot of irony in football and upon hearing of Claringbold’s sacking, premiers Dromana were quickly on the telephone. Claringbold met with the Tigers last Friday and is believed to be the front runner for the job, vacated by Gavin Artico. Artico said Claringbold was an outstanding coach and would be the ideal person to take over at Tigerland. Claringbold confirmed he was “catching up for a coffee” with the Tigers and showed genuine interest in the role. “I certainly want to continue coaching,” Claringbold said. On Sorrento, it is believed that Troy Schwarze has also thrown his hat into the ring for their vacant coaching position. Treeby is in Bali on holidays. Also, there was big rumour that two of their high profile players got into a scuffle at a club function in the past week. Meanwhile, Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan are heading interstate to play together. At Dromana, it appears the likes of Ryan Slocombe and Rikki Johnson will go around again, which is great news for the new coach. However, brothers Jay and Matt Neratzoglou may be on the move after Matt was left out of the premiership side. Third placed Rosebud was a heartbeat away from a grand final berth this season and only needs a few top-ups to take it to the next level in 2014. Matthew Payne is expected to head back to Queensland, which would be a massive loss for the club. Frankston Bombers finished the season in horrible form and need to have a big pre-season to progress next season. Discipline was a massive issue with the club in the second half of the season. Club legends Nathan and Ryan Lonie, Brian O’Carroll and Haydn Moore have all retired. These four were in the best six players at the club this season. Jay Page is a star but there’s no guarantees he’ll stay with the Bombers either. Pearcedale is already in negotiation
with some players and is confident that it will not lose anyone off the list that finished fourth after the home and away season. There was some talk about Travis Sauer retiring. Ben Cadd has not yet been reappointed but it is expected to be a formality. Crib Point is without a coach after Dave Lawson left the top chair. The Magpies have been so close in the past couple of seasons but couldn’t take the next step. Hopefully the players stick together and they can appoint a playing coach in the coming weeks. There’s a bit happening at Hastings. Former Karingal coach Brendan Dunne is an outstanding leader and will bring plenty to the table. However, it appears he’s going to have a tough time keeping Tony Mirabella, Andy Kiely and Daniel Wischart, while club legend Jason Kestle is also rumoured to be on the move. Somerville offers the plum coaching job in Nepean League. The Eagles were very competitive this season and just need some experience to go with the abundance of junior talent. Its Under 18s won the flag. Former coach Leigh Stewart, who sits on 299 games, is believed to be happy staying in the Eagles’ nest. One wonders whether Crib Point has given him a call? Don’t expect to see Rye in the bottom half of the draw next season. The Demons are on a recruiting drive and its list is said to be keen to have a big pre-season. 2012 league goal kicking machine Justin Van Unen is said to be the number one target for the Demons. Red Hill will also be a big mover in 2014. Three-time premiership coach Tony Blackford is now at the helm and Andrew Brady is his right hand man. Together, they have a little black book with plenty of footy numbers and Blackford has already spoken to more than 30 possible recruits. Tyabb has appointed Ray Hallal as senior coach and according to the club, they are very financial and in a position to recruit. Time will tell. Devon Meadows was the underachiever of the league last season but is expected to recruit well in the offseason and make its way up the ladder in 2014.
