Crime falls amid ‘spin’ allegations Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au REPORTED crimes across the Kingston area dropped in the first three months of the year according to the latest figures released by the Crime Statistics Agency Victoria. The statistics, released on Thursday (14 June), showed there were 10,376 offences recorded in the Kingston region in the 12 months until March, down from 11,652 at the same time the year before. Neighbourhood Watch Victoria, which started with a pilot program in Frankston in 1983, welcomed the statistics “indicating a continued decline in crime across the state”. There was a decrease of about 10 per cent across Victoria. Neighbourhood Watch Victoria CEO Bambi Gordon said it is vital for communities to band together to build relationships with police and report crime. NeighbourThat is where hood Watch plays such a vital role,” she said. “Our vision hasn’t changed over three-plus decades; to have connected, informed and empowered communities, and community members who feel safe and secure.” Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton congratulated Neigh-
bourhood Watch on its 35th anniversary. “Over this long period of time, our organisations have shared a close relationship, with Neighbourhood Watch playing a key role in crime prevention. “ State Liberal opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue accused Premier Daniel Andrews of “spinning about crime statistics”. Mr O’Donohue said there has been a rise in violent crime including home invasions, carjackings, assaults and “youth gang violence” in the past few years. “In the nearly four years of the Andrews government, attempted murder and manslaughter is up 42 per cent, burglary and break and enter is up 33 per cent and assaults are up 17.2 per cent. “Under Daniel Andrews, there has been an increase in home invasions, an increase in carjackings, an increase in assaults, an increase in youth gang violence and an increase in the number of his excuses.” The Crime Statistics Agency was established by the previous Liberal Napthine government independent of Victoria Police. Voters will go to the polls in November for the state election and the seats of Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh, all held by Labor and won from the Liberals at the 2014 election, are regarded as marginal seats.

Splash of colour: Chelsea Rotary Art Show judge Malcolm Webster with Janis Taber’s winning artwork. Picture: Gary Sissons
Colourful creation wins art gong on a colour palette but the painting evolves as I go. “As I’m doing something the name often comes to me. I don’t have a name beforehand. It’s a feeling. “I thought there were tropical colours [in her winning entry] and it had a tropical feel, so the name Tropicana was appropriate.” The fashionista, who enjoys working on her art at her Moorooduc hobby farm, said she also hand paints silk scarves, decorates vases and paints on ceramic tiles and tables following colour palettes chosen by clients on a commission basis. This year’s Chelsea Rotary Art Show exhibited more than 450 entries from talented artists.
A MOOROODUC artist won a top award at this year’s Chelsea Rotary Art Show, taking out first place in the oils/acrylic category. Janis Barbieri’s Tropicana was deemed best in show in its category by judges at the 43rd annual Chelsea Rotary Art Show held at Chelsea Hall on 9-11 June. Barbieri, who signs her maiden name Janis Taber on her artworks, said it is the first arts award she has won since taking up inks and oils six years ago after working in the fashion industry. She said her art is “creative botanical and inspired by nature”. “I love combinations of colour so with something like that I’ll decide

All proceeds from the show are donated to community organisations including the CFA. “Over the three days, the art show was very successful, with both sales and attendance numbers up on last year,” entry secretary Lesley Pitcher said. Ms Pitcher said 34 Indigenous paintings from Kakadu were included in the show and proceeds from their sale will go towards eradicating the trachoma eye disease in Indigenous communities.

ELECTIONEERING ahead of November’s state election has gone up a level with a Liberal Party pledge to limit residential development across Melbourne’s suburbs. Opposition leader Matthew Guy has promised to bring back a twodwelling limit on lots in Neighbourhood Residential Zone areas, stopping multi-developments allowed if a “garden area” of 25 per cent is in place. The state opposition has also vowed to reduce the height limit in General Residential Zone areas back to nine metres, down from its present 11 metres limit. State planning spokesman David Davis said Andrews government “changes to our planning laws are now choking Melbourne’s suburbs with unplanned overdevelopment”. “Labor’s plan to allow high-density development on all parts of Melbourne is creating more pressure on our lifestyles and families,” Mr Davis said in a statement. When asked about possible highrise development near train stations, Mr Davis told The News “there are appropriate areas for moderate developments but that isn’t spilling out right across a whole suburb and
style
leaving no areas recognisable as a suburb”. “People particularly living along coastal strips want a quality of life and that is at risk of being diminished by the population pressure and Labor’s decision to rip up the planning protections last year,” he said. Mr Guy was state planning minister in the previous Coalition state government and has been criticised for allowing several high-rise apartment developments in central Melbourne. “You can’t trust this former planning minister who botched residential zones in an effort to shore up his political base in the eastern suburbs while letting it rip in other parts of Melbourne,” Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson said. “In March last year the Andrews Labor government cleaned up these residential zones, making them clearer and locking in protections for suburban backyards. “Our state is growing and the reformed residential zones strike the right balance between protecting what we love while giving all Victorians real housing choices. “After the mess created by the Leader of the Opposition at Fishermans Bend and Ventnor, it’s unbelievable Matthew Guy still wants to talk about planning.”

Time tome: Kaye Musgrove’s book chronicles her father’s life and changing times in Chelsea. Pic: Gary Sissons
KINDER ENROLMENTS CLOSING
Family ties history together HEARING tales of years and decades gone by has inspired Chelsea resident Kaye Musgrove to write a memoir of her father that also provides an insight into life in the area throughout the past nine decades. Always a Gentleman is a book that tells the story of husband, father, grandfather and now great-grandfather Reginald Musgrove and also reflects on the many changes in the area throughout his life. Mr Musgrove started a career as a family butcher in Chelsea and later bought a Carrum shop. He retired in 1988 and was well known locally, Ms Musgrove said. “He was the local butcher in Carrum for more than 40 years,” she said. As Mr Musgrove’s 90th birthday in May approached, she decided to capture some of the tales her father and mother, Joyce, told of Chelsea history for future generations. The title of the book describes how people interviewed for the book described her father.
More than a family memoir, Always a Gentleman allows readers to time travel to decades gone by and recall, or find out for the first time, how society and technology have changed over the past 90 years. The book will be available to borrow at Chelsea Library. Ms Musgrove hopes handcraft markets and bookstores in the area may also stock the insight into history, packed with photos and memories. She works at The Cove Hotel and says patrons who have seen the book have enjoyed its depiction of local changing times. The help of the Chelsea & District Historical Society was invaluable in putting together the book. “I went there to get photos and stuff, I already knew a lot of the people there. Now I’m on the committee,” Ms Musgrove said. Always a Gentleman can be bought by emailing kayemus@hotmail.com or will be available to borrow at Chelsea Library. Neil Walker

Sold! Ansett land changes hands Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au RETIREMENT village proprietor Chas Jacobsen has bought the last parcel of the former Ansett estate in Mt Eliza for an “undisclosed sum”, believed to be around $33 million. The 22.3-hectare block is an addition to the neighbouring 11.7-hectare Gunyong Valley estate which he bought from the estate of the late Lady Joan Ansett for $14.5 million in 2006. Equity Trustees announced the sale after a “comprehensive six month expressions-of-interest campaign” for the property owned by the R M Ansett Trust in Mt Eliza. The land, on four titles of varying sizes and with 100 metres of beachfront, is at the corner of Kunyung Road and Albatross Avenue. It was sold as a single parcel on an unconditional basis with contracts signed Friday 8 June. The sale price, purchaser and details of the agreement were not disclosed. The chief operating officer of Village Glen retirement village at Capel Sound, Peter Neilson, said Mr Jacobsen was “happy with the purchase and the price he paid”. “What he does with it is up to him. He knows all about its zonings and what can be done there. It’s a significant land holding,” Mr Neilson said. He said Mr Jacobsen lived on the
adjoining block with his family. “He farms cattle there and so we can presume that will continue.” Equity Trustees managing director Mick O’Brien described the sale as a “great outcome for the Ansett Trust which will now be able to invest more funds to meet its charitable purpose – to assist children to take their place in life.” Since its establishment in 2010 the trust has distributed more than $5 million to programs that assist young people, including those in out-of-home care, charities that run children’s programs and scholarships to schools on the Mornington Peninsula, he said. Mornington MP David Morris said it was “encouraging that the R M Ansett Trust has said that the purchaser is someone with a great understanding of the significance of this parcel of land”. He said the “initial approach taken by the Trust’s consultants (Ernst and Young) was very different, suggesting that this was a land bank that had potential for redevelopment for commercial, hospitality, healthcare or education, of course, with the usual disclaimer subject to approval”. “I welcome the change of heart.” Mr Morris said the green break between Mt Eliza and Mornington was defined and protected by long-standing urban boundaries “and this land is a very important part of it”.
“Any development of the land must protect the existing landscape and be fully consistent with the existing green wedge zoning.” Mr Morris said any approval for changes to the urban boundary would have to pass through state parliament. “While it is possible, the chances of a successful application are probably less than 1 in 100 if not 1 in 1000,” he said. “I call on the Minister for Planning [Richard Wynne], and the Premier [Daniel Andrews], to join me in a commitment to oppose any move to weaken current controls or to allow quasiurban residential development.” During the sales campaign, Mt Eliza Association for Environmental Care president Des Berry said the land could not be subdivided for residential development. “It is in the green wedge and any prospective buyers should carefully check the legal ramifications of any possible subdivision,” he said. “We are an environment group and our aim is to protect the area’s significant native vegetation, especially along the foreshore.” Mr Berry said his group doubted the land’s existing boundaries could be “realigned” as stated in the Ernst and Young brochure. “We would fight any redevelopment,” he said.
Face to face LEGENDARY rock band The Angels are set to stop through the Chelsea Heights Hotel on 14 July to celebrate four decades since the release of their album Face to Face. The ARIA Hall of Fame band is now led by Screaming Jets frontman Dave Gleeson, who joined up with the iconic band in 2011. He says the tour will feature some of the group’s greatest hits and will include every track from the Face to Face album, which first hit record stores in 1978. “Performing with the band has been unreal. The songs we’re playing mean so much to our fans, and they’re timeless,” Gleeson said. “I really enjoy belting them out every
night and keeping the legacy alive. I love playing songs like Shadow Boxer, After the Rain, Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, it’s a blast to play those with the boys. “The 40-year milestone of this album was the perfect reason to head out on tour, to be able to still play it is a great opportunity. We’ll be playing the album from start to finish, just like when the fans put their cassette on back in the day.” Gleeson has been a lifelong fan of The Angels, and he said he is delighted to have the chance to perform with them. Now having spent over half a decade as the lead vocalist of the band, he says it’s surreal to be able to perform

this anniversary show alongside his heroes. “I shared a bedroom with my two older brothers who dictated the playlist, one of them was a mad Angels fan, that was when they were constantly touring around the country. I heard him come home from concerts so many times talking about how awesome it was. So I always had this romantic image of the Angels, and when I saw them for the first time in ‘85 I was blown away. They were on fire and I’ve loved them ever since,” he said. Gleeson himself is a veteran performer of the Chelsea Heights Hotel, and he said he is excited to return with The Angels.
“We’ve played down on the peninsula many times, we’ve played at the Mornington Racecourse probably three or four times over the last five years. We love it down there and I play the Chelsea Heights Hotel all the time between the Screaming Jets and The Angels. I love it and it’s always packed there, what’s not to love about that,” he said. n The Angels - Face to Face Tour will be at Chelsea Heights Hotel, Cnr Springvale and Wells roads, Chelsea Heights on Saturday 14 July, opening 8pm.

Station gets grant help EDITHVALE Fire Brigade has received a $101,500 grant as part of a state government grants program. The CFA enhancing volunteerism grant will be used to finalise completion of a new fire station on top of $4 million already allocated to the project. “In opposition, I was part of the campaign to provide a new Edithvale Fire Station, and I’m proud to have delivered on that election commitment,” Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson said. “I’m excited that this station will be transformed into a brand new facility with four vehi-
cle bays based on the feedback from the brigade. “I’m looking forward to seeing the brigade serve the communities of Edithvale, Aspendale, Chelsea and Chelsea Heights with this completed new facility in the near future.” Victorian Emergency Services Minister James Merlino said: “The CFA received hundreds of applications and undertook a robust assessment process to approve projects that address the key criteria. “I congratulate all of the successful applicants and look forward to the second round of grants opening in June.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Train station ransacked by teenager Compiled by Brodie Cowburn DURING the night of Tuesday, the 18th, the Frankston railway station goods shed was broken into. On Wednesday morning the railway officials found that the thief had broken open a window, and so gained entrance to the goods shed. The cash drawer had been removed from a table and taken away. Fortunately the shed porter had removed all the cash from the drawer before closing up the shed on the previous night, so that all the thief gained for his trouble was a few official papers of no value and a bottle of ink. The police were notified of the offence, and at about midday on the same day Senior Constable Bray and Constable Ryan arrested a young man named George Vivian, 18 years of age, and charged him with the offence. The cash drawer was recovered by the police where it had been hidden by Vivian. The prisoner was brought before Mr Oates, J.P. on Wednesday, and remanded to appear at the Frankston Court on Monday next 24th. *** IN the 410th casualty list, published on Wednesday evening, appear the names of Privates F. L. Schleebs, Mornington, dangerously wounded; and J. Skidmore, Carrum, wounded. Mr D. P. Cain has received notification of the death from wounds received in France of his nephew, Private Earnest Walter Hargreave, after 3 years service. A sister of the deceased soldier, Nurse Effie Hargreave has been serving in France for some time. ***
GREAT regret was expressed on all sides when the news was received of the death in action of Private Romeo who was well known and highly esteemed in Hastings. “Monty” tried unsuccessfully to enlist on four occasions before he was accepted. He was previously wounded in France, was invalided to England but returned again to the firing line. For three years previous to the war he was employed by Mr Cunningham, of Frankston and in that town also his quiet and unassuming manner and gentlemanly qualities made him a general favorite. Heartfelt sympathy is felt for his parents and relatives, who reside here. *** THE death occurred in Tuesday at Highett, of Miss Ollie Bowells daughter of Mrs Bowells, of this town. The deceased young lady had been in indifferent health for some time so that the end was not unexpected. The body was conveyed to Hastings on Wednesday, and was interred in the local cemetery. Heartfelt sympathy is felt for Mrs Bowells in her bereavement. *** AN orchard property of 21 acres consisting of 6½ acres full bearing orchard and 14½ acres virgin land, the property of Mr F. Williams, of Tyabb will be offered by public auction by Messrs Brody and Mason on Saturday next, June 29th. The land has a frontage of 17 chains to the main Hastings-Somerville road, by about 14 chains to O’Neills road, and is about midway between the Tyabb and Somerville railway stations.
Full particulars are advertised. *** THE exposure by the Federal Public Accounts Committee of the maladministration which has characterised the works now being carried out at the Flinders and Henderson naval bases has apparently awakened the authorities to a sense of their responsibility. The committee showed that huge sums of money had been practically thrown away as a result of the blunders which had taken place; useless tugs and dredges having been purchased, and in other directions estimates of cost vastly exceeded. One glaring instance of departmental blundering was the purchase of a tug at a cost of £7500 which was found to be absolutely useless for the work for which it was required. The Minister of Works and Railways is now inviting offers for the purchase of another tug, and it is to be hoped that precautions will be taken to secure value for the money spent on this occasion. The mistake has already involved a loss of nearly £10,000, as £100 a month has had to be paid for the hire of another tug to do the work. In order that the department will know the extent of its liability and not find that its estimate has again been greatly exceeded, tenders are also invited for the supply of steam navvies or shovels. *** A FOOTBALL match will be played this afternoon on the Frankston oval between the locals and a team from Hastings. A good game is expected, and both teams anticipate a victory. ***
UNDER the auspices of the W.C.T.U. and I.O.R., Mrs Vaughan, of South Australia, who has been engaged in war work in England for some time, will address a meeting to be held in the Frankston Mechanics’, on Tuesday, June 25th. Rev, Tonkin will preside, and musical items, etc. will be given. t *** AT a committee meeting of the Frankston Wattle Club, held on Monday evening, it was decided that the euchre tournament now in progress should end on September 26th, instead of the end of October, as was previously advertised. It was also decided to hold the annual ball on July 26th. The annual meeting will be held on Monday, July 8th, at 8pm sharp. *** THE Frankston Y.P.S.C.E. will hold their annual sale of gifts for the support of the missionary teacher in New Guinea, on Saturday, June 29th, in the Methodist schoolroom. The function will be opened by Rev. E Tonkin at 2.30.p.m., and will be continued during the evening. In the afternoon admission is free, but in the evening a charge of a silver coin will be made. Gifts or donations may be left with Mrs Sherlock, Frankston. *** WE are informed that tickets are selling freely for the concert to be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening, 6th July. in aid of the funds of the Langwarrin Camp. A splendid programme by Melbourne artists, will be submitted, and should prove highly enjoyable.
Miss R. Langley, well known in most concert halls in Melbourne, will appear in several songs at the piano. *** THE annual meeting of the Red Cross Society, held on Wednesday, 12th, was only poorly attended; the same little band of energetic workers who attend every meeting. assembled in the hall, and again undertook the work for the current year. A few gentlemen were present and elected the ladies to their respective positions and recorded hearty thanks and applause when the reports of the work put through by the ladies were read out. *** Our Letter Box. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—The suggestion of ‘Carry-on” in last week’s issue, that a branch of the Returned Soldiers Association should be formed at Frankston, is to my mind a good one, and one that should appeal to all returned soldiers. But could not those who have not been able to take an active part in the great struggle that is now raging, but who have seen service in other wars, be admitted to the membership of the Association, should it be formed? There are several in this district, situated similarly to myself, who would be only too pleased to be members of such an association, and I feel sure the younger soldiers would not wish to debar us from membership. Wishing the proposal every success. Yours etc., C. W. WOOD. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 June 1918
THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
A Hard Act to Swallow By Stuart McCullough I’M hopeless at it. As it happens, my entire family is hopeless at it too. Nevertheless, we soldier on, doing our best in an uncaring world. For years, my secret weakness remained beyond the gaze of others and, as such, there was little to worry about. Now it’s a source of ridicule. Whether it’s medicine or a common-as-muck, garden-variety multi-vitamin, it makes no difference. I simply struggle to get them down. I hate to admit it, but I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that I cannot do as others can in this important area. I am now willing to declare: I’m a dud when it comes to swallowing pills. My wife doesn’t even need a glass of water. This, to me, is the medicinal equivalent to riding bareback on a butter-smeared thoroughbred while wearing a blindfold and knitting a scarf. She can seemingly swallow pills at will with nary a first, let alone a second thought. For ages, I thought this was a special ability, much like being double-jointed or being read other people’s minds, but no. Turns out, she’s far closer to normal than I am in this respect as – by some margin – most people can swallow a pill when the occasion calls for it. I blame childhood. This time, it’s not just a general position, as it’s directly relevant to my current status as an incapable adult. As kids, we were routinely required to chow down on Vitamin C tablets each day in a bid
PAGE 10
to keep scurvy at bay. In this respect, it was a tremendous success as I have remained notably scurvy-free my entire life. A fact I have made clear on my Linked-In profile. But vitamin C tablets were gigantic. Swallowing one would be much like trying to swallow a hubcap. Indeed, these tablets were expressly designed to be chewed rather than swallowed;
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 20 June 2018
a fact borne out by the fact that they mostly tasted alright, unless you made the fatal mistake of brushing your teeth first, in which case they tasted like twelve types of poison. There was nothing worse than being forced to eat a Vitamin C tablet after you brushed your teeth. It was almost enough to make you want to eat an orange instead. Almost.
The decision to give us chewable vitamin tablets has meant that my ability to swallow various medications and tablets is severely underdeveloped. It’s the same for my siblings, none of whom can consume so much as a Panadol without a sizeable run up. For me, this involves drinking several litres of water in the hope that I can slip a tablet in over my lips and it can simply join the stampede down my throat. Very often, this results in a fairly spectacular choking fit and some very pointed observations about my technique. Apparently, I think about it too much. This, I somewhat ironically think, is true of a great many things, of which swallowing tablets is probably the least consequential. Rather than let things happen naturally, I subject them to a level of scrutiny they don’t otherwise deserve. It has all kinds of consequences. Have you ever really thought about your PIN number? Chances are, if you have, that’s the very moment you’ve forgotten it. Sometimes, pure animal instinct is the way to go. My gag reflex is too well developed. As a result there are just too many things I can’t swallow – like a trade war between the US and Canada or the results of this year’s Eurovision contest (if you’re looking for an excuse to slap bizarre trade tariffs on Europe, then Eurovision is probably as good a place to start as any). There’s not a glass of water big enough that’s going to allow me to
believe that Canada is the root of all evil or that doing a tell-all interview on national television is an effective way to stop drawing attention to yourself or that Main Street Mornington is a road that occasionally looks like a car park, rather than the other way round. It’s just too much to believe. We’ve started to take corrective measures. Just last week, we planted citrus trees in the back yard to develop an alternative source of Vitamin C. They look fantastic and I’ll admit I got caught up in the excitement before reality came crashing in. My wife is confident that it’ll work a treat but I have serious doubts. If I can’t swallow a tablet, the chances of swallowing an orange are pretty remote – those things are huge. Everyone has a weak spot. Superman had his Kryptonite. George Michael his Andrew Ridgeley. I can’t swallow anything that’s apparently good for me. I may as well resign myself to that fact and move on. It could be worse. I take comfort in that I have family members who also suffer the same affliction. They too spent their childhoods chewing on Vitamin C tablets. On the plus side, none of them have scurvy either. I should stop now. All this talk of my deficiencies has given me quite a headache. I should lie down. Maybe have a cup of tea – that always helps. But what I won’t do is try and take a tablet. That, of itself, would be another kind of headache altogether. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bulldogs bully struggling Rosebud DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON put on their most complete display of football for the year, claiming a convincing victory over Rosebud at Alexandra Park on Saturday. The two sides, placed 8th and 9th on the ladder coming into the game, looked evenly matched in the first quarter, with the margin only standing at one point Mornington’s way at the first break. Mornington went on to kick ahead in the second quarter but only went into half-time with a 14-point lead on what was a cold and blustery day. Although the game looked alive up until the main break, things got off to a very bad start for Rosebud in the second half, as their star player Greg Bentley was forced off with a muscle strain. Playing a man down on the interchange bench, Rosebud provided little fight in the second half as Mornington put together their most impressive performance for the year. Holding Rosebud goalless in the second half, Mornington eventually ran out with an encouraging 11.22 (88) to 5.7 (37) win. Head coach Simon Goosey said after the game that he was delighted with how his team had performed. “I was happy with how things panned out today. We’ve been pretty good all year and I’ve been reasonably happy with how we’re going. The big positive today was that we didn’t get any injuries. We had to bring in a couple blokes that were a little bit un-

derdone today, so for us to finish off the game as strong as we did today was really pleasing,” he said. Mornington will travel to take on Frankston Bombers at Baxter Park next Saturday. There were only two other matches for the round in MPNFL Division One, with Sorrento, Frankston YCW,
Frankston Bombers, and Mt Eliza enjoying a bye. One of those matches saw Seaford host Pines at Belvedere Reserve in what would prove to be another difficult day for the bottom-placed Seaford side. All eyes were on Pines’ Aaron Edwards who booted an astonishing 12
goals last time he pulled on the boots for his side. While he only managed to score one goal of his own for the game, his team performed admirably to secure a comfortable victory. Pines stamped their authority on the game with a dominant first quarter and never looked like losing, eventually running out winners over Seaford 8.5
(53) to 12.15 (87). Tim Bongetti scored three goals for Pines and was best on ground in his team’s big win. Seaford will travel to take on Frankston YCW next Saturday, who are also struggling for form having lost four consecutive games. Frankston YCW have now shockingly slipped to 5th on the ladder after Saturday’s results. The final game of the split round pitted 4th place Edithvale-Aspendale against Bonbeach at Regent Park. Bonbeach were the underdog side in this clash but started strong to take a three-goal lead into the first break. Edithvale-Aspendale had been poor in front of goal and quickly recovered to regain control of the contest in the second term. Momentum swung back and forth throughout the day, and with the margin standing at less than two goals Edithvale-Aspendale’s way going into the last quarter, the game looked set to go down to the wire. Despite their continued inaccuracy in front of goal, Edithvale-Aspendale were able to just hold on to claim the win, with the final scoreboard reading Edithvale-Aspendale 10.21 (81) to 11.7 (73) Michael Bussey was among the best for Edithvale-Aspendale’s, booting three goals in a win that sees them jump up to 3rd place on the ladder going into Round 11.
Dromana bounce back after shocking maiden loss DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA bounced back to claim a win this Saturday to avenge their first loss for the year in MPNFL Division Two football last weekend. After going down in a nailbiting six-point loss to Red Hill last Sunday, Dromana were faced with a more comfortable task in Crib Point at Dromana Recreation Reserve on Saturday. On paper, this looked like a complete mismatch, as it pitted top of the ladder Dromana against a Crib Point side that had remained rooted to the bottom of the ladder since Round One. Despite everything pointing to a comfortable Dromana win, Crib Point came flying out of the gates to start the match and even went into the half-time break with a shock six-point lead. After the half-time break, Dromana recovered well from being rattled, and quickly regained the lead and kicked away. Ben Holmes was the man who made his mark on the contest, kicking four goals in the second half and five in total to put the game beyond the reach of a brave Crib Point side. Dromana tightened up their defence and held their lowly opponents to just three behinds in the second half, as they eventually ran out comfortable winners 13.19 (97) to 5.9 (39). Elsewhere at Chelsea Reserve, it was a high profile battle of 2nd vs. 3rd place as Chelsea hosted Karingal at home. With the winner set to claim second spot on the ladder, the stakes were high for this much-anticipated contest.
Shots fired: Karingal failed to make the most of its chances against Chelsea. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Karingal, who defeated Somerville by a comfortable margin last Sunday, started the game well by registering seven scoring shots to Chelsea’s three, but were so wasteful in front of goal that they actually went into quarter time down by a point, only registering two goals and five behinds for the first term. The Bulls worked hard to wrestle their way back in front at the half-time break, but were still being wasteful in front of goal. After the restart of play, Chelsea came out swinging and worked hard to hold Karingal goalless in the third term, taking a narrow seven-point lead into the last quarter. In the final term, Karingal again had more shots on goal, but again they let their chances go to waste, and were made to pay for their poor form in front of goal.
Chelsea were just able to hold on to the narrow lead as the final siren sounded, running out victors and claiming the win 9.4 (58) to Karingal’s 7.13 (55). Curtis Bywater was again among Chelsea’s best, registering four goals to take his tally to the year to an impressive 37 from 10 games. He is now placed second in the goalkicking race, two goals ahead of Hastings’ Luke Hewitt. Hastings travelled to take on Pearcedale at Pearcedale Recreation Reserve to take on Pearcedale in what would prove to be an uncompetitive contest. Hastings, who sit 4th on the ladder just two games adrift of top place, were highly fancied coming into the clash are certainly lived up to the expectations.
A five-goal first quarter from Hastings set the tone for the rest of the contest, as they ran away with an easy victory over Pearcedale 10.4 (64) to 19.14 (128). Luke Hewitt again contributed with another four-goal performance while his teammates Paul Rogasch and Grant Masterson also had big days in front of goal, kicking six and five goals respectively. Red Hill continued their excellent run of form when they travelled to take on Somerville away from home. Fresh off a thrilling one-goal win over the undefeated Dromana, Red Hill came into this clash full of confidence but were put on the back foot by a fast-starting Somerville who took a one-point lead into the first break. From that point on, Red Hill were much the better side and dominated
the second term with seven more scoring shots than their opponents. Despite creating more chances, they were wasteful in front of goal, kicking two goals and seven behinds and failing to really punish Somerville. Play got back underway for the second half with Red Hill eight points ahead, and although Somerville fought hard to work their way back into the game, Red Hill’s quality proved too strong. The win certainly didn’t come easy for Red Hill, but when they siren sounded they came away with an important four points, taking the win 11.7 (73) to 12.14 (86). At Lloyd Park, Langwarrin hosted Tyabb in what would prove to be a comfortable game for the home side. Their regular target Jesse Murphy was again in blistering form, as he booted six majors to take his tally for the year to 40, which puts him on top of the league’s goalkicking leaderboard. Tyabb were outclassed all day, as Langwarrin ran our victors 20.8 (128) to 6.5 (41). In the final clash of the weekend, Devon Meadows took on Rye at Glover Reserve in a tense contest. The see-sawing affair saw Rye hold a two-point lead at half-time, but their Devon Meadows opponents proved too strong for them in the second half. Devon Meadows’ Michael Theodoridis was among the best in his side’s winning effort, booting six goals in a 13.5 (83) to 10.10 (70) win.

First for Seaford under Morris-Thomas SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United recorded its second win of the season and its first under senior coach Matt Morris-Thomas when it defeated Noble Park United 3-2 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford stunned the visitors in the 27th minute when defender Callum Richardson’s acrobatic overhead kick opened the scoring. Three minutes into the second half Dylan Waugh broke past two defenders before slotting the ball past Noble Park United keeper Andrea Stoilovic to make it 2-0. Seaford fans were in raptures in the 72nd minute after Cam Bryden’s clinical side-foot finish made it 3-0. But a Mladen Djuric free kick in the 80th minute caught Seaford keeper Jimmy Zafiriov off guard and dipped just below the crossbar to make it 3-1 and give the visitors some hope. Five minutes later Nemanja Salamandic made it 3-2 which made for a nervous finish but Seaford held on as it strives to get off the foot of the State 3 South-East ladder. Langwarrin edged out visitor Ballarat City in a seven-goal thriller at Lawton Park on Saturday. The 4-3 result was crucial to Langy’s NPL2 status as it sent Gus Macleod’s men 12 points clear of last-placed Nunawading City with the bottom team expected to be relegated to State League ranks. Langy was active on the last day of the NPL transfer window last week clinching the signatures of striker Michael Kariuki and midfielder Brendan Richardson. Kariuki was signed from South Springvale and was the equal top scorer in State 1 South-East while Richardson was signed from Bulleen and is a former Richmond player. Teenage striker Sam Klepac was released but it’s believed that Langy is keen for him to return next season. Ballarat took just two minutes to open the scoring when a slick interpassing move cut a swathe through the heart of the home side’s defence and a low strike from inside the area by Liam Harding gave Langy keeper Robbie Acs no chance. Shaun Romein’s handball inside the area in the 12th minute was converted from the penalty spot by Liam Baxter who sent Ballarat keeper Aaron Romein the wrong way. A world-class goal from Michael Trigger in the 18th minute made it 2-1 as the Ballarat ace struck the ball from

just inside his attacking half after spotting Acs off his line. Macleod wanted more from Mehdi Sarwari who had been isolated in a wide left role so he took over from Baxter in a central role with the Scot switching to the left. In the 30th minute, Baxter floated a free kick to the back post where Langy defender Andy Mclean charged in and headed home to make it 2-2. Kariuki’s simple and effective pass sent John Kuol clear two minutes from the break and he had no problem slotting the ball past the advancing Ballarat keeper to put Langy ahead. There were a couple more twists and turns in this see-sawing contest as Trigger beat the offside trap in the 60th minute and although Luke Burgess did well to get back and tackle the ball looped over Acs’ head and into goal to make it 3-3. The technical area of both sides were busy now but the most effective change was made by Macleod when he brought on teenager Max Boulton whose drive and energy were clearly evident. As was his touch in the 74th minute when Kariuki sent him clear on the left and Boulton’s square ball was tucked away first time by Kuol for what proved to be the winner in a gripping contest. In NPLW news Southern United lost 4-0 away to Geelong Galaxy United on Saturday. These sides last met two months ago and Galaxy won 11-0. Southern’s under-12s continued their outstanding season by hammering Galaxy 7-1 with goals from Emilia Ingles (3), Taylen Wulf (2), Lauren Rhia and

an own goal while the under-14s came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Southern’s goals coming from Holly Wakker and Alex Jones. Southern’s under-16s lost 4-0 while the under-19s lost 2-0. Mornington continued to zero in on second spot in State 1 South-East when it won 2-1 away to Malvern City last weekend. A Keegan Ziada header in the 14th minute put Mornington ahead but Daniel Bowman equalised for the home side in the 30th minute. Mornington had signed 23-year-old Colombian striker Omar Guardiola from New Zealand club Southern United last month and he replaced Ziada in the 68th minute. Guardiola left an indelible impression on spectators and Malvern City keeper Jamie Greygoose with a spectacular bicycle kick in the 78th minute to give the visitors all three points. Mornington senior coach Dale White has had to return to the UK for family reasons and is expected to miss two games. Andy Mason was in charge last weekend and will continue in the role for Saturday’s important away clash with league leader Manningham United. In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines and Doncaster Rovers drew 1-1 at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Rovers struck first when James Kalifatidis converted from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute. CJ Hodgson started and finished the move that led to the equaliser in the 59th minute when he drove towards goal on the right then released Iosa Saemo who
squared the ball and Hodgson calmly slotted it home. While Pines earned a point in the fight to avoid relegation State 2 neighbour Peninsula Strikers lost 4-1 at home to title candidate Mazenod last weekend and slumped to last spot on the ladder. Adrian D’Ortenzio (18th, 72nd minutes), Lennon Whewell (3rd) and Jack Haggerty (77th) scored for Mazenod while captain Tommy Hawkins (10th) replied for Strikers. Goalkeeper Chris England (exDandenong Thunder), Wahid Hashimi (from Morwell Pegasus) and former Nunawading defender Basel Bargi made their debuts for Strikers. They are among a host of new signings as club president Trevor Johnston is determined to keep the club in State 2. “We will be super aggressive this week in signing some more players and there is big news to come,” said Johnston. The Centenary Park outfit has also signed South Melbourne striker Naseem Rasekh, central defender David Selan (from Slovenian club NK Velesova), goalkeeper Dilan Mery (Kingston City) and central defender Mohammad Rasuli (Mirboo North). Skye United’s promotion push in State 3 South-East stalled when it lost 2-1 to Brighton at Dendy Park on Saturday. Alex Greatorex capitalised on a defensive error in the first half but Skye United responded 10 minutes later after a nice interpassing move between Billy Painting and Mohamad Elhassan ended with the latter picking out Cam Leopold whose volley made it 1-1. A Brighton counter-attack in the sec-
ond half gave the home side all three points when Digby Mooney found the back of the net. In State 4 South the anticipated influx of new players at Baxter never materialised and senior coach Francis Beck sprang a huge surprise when he started up front in Saturday’s 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Springvale City. Beck was the club’s previous first choice keeper and his last senior match was in 2017. He was substituted in the 61st minute but by then the damage had been done with Springvale leading 3-1 and further goals to Armin Kerla and substitute Zurijet Karic completed the rout. Sandringham’s 2-1 win over Noble Park pushed Baxter into 10th spot in the league and firmly embroiled the club in the relegation dogfight. Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 at home last weekend and now lies fifth in State 5 South. “We came up against a good team but shot ourselves in the foot with our poor start,” Somerville player-coach Dave Greening said. “The second half today showed us when we play well we can compete but gifting teams a two-goal head start is a killer.” Aspendale recorded its biggest win of the State 5 South season when it overran Bunyip District 6-1 at Jack Grut Reserve on Saturday. The Stingrays put this contest to bed by half-time thanks to goals from Ryan Mravljak, Domenic Paul, Alex Taylor-Hirst and a season-first from Sam Timuska-Carr while Bunyip’s sole response came from Vincent Makota in the 26th minute. Matt Corra made it 5-1 three minutes into the second half and Paul notched his brace in the 67th minute. It was Taylor-Hirst’s final match before heading overseas for work reasons. Next weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8pm: Rowville Eagles v Somerville Eagles (Park Ridge Reserve). SATURDAY 3pm: Manningham Utd Blues v Mornington (Park Avenue Reserve), Frankston Pines v Heatherton Utd (Monterey Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Brandon Park (Centenary Park), Skye Utd v Monbulk Rangers (Skye Recreation Reserve), Monash Uni v Baxter (Monash University Playing Fields), Casey Panthers v Aspendale (Prospect Hill Reserve).

Chelsea knock off first Mornington set the goose loose FOOTBALL placed Shepparton BASKETBALL
BIG V Division One competition was headlined by a top of the table clash between Shepparton Gators and Chelsea Gulls this Saturday. The two sides lined up against each other at Shepparton Sports Stadium in a matchup between two sides considered among the favourites to take out the championship at the end of the season. It was a slow start for the Chelsea Gulls though, who found themselves in an uncomfortable position down by 14 points at the conclusion of the first quarter of play. With their backs to the walls, Chelsea showed their quality to fight their way back and whittle back the lead and only found themselves behind by a couple of points going into the final quarter. A final quarter blitz in which Chelsea outscored their opponents by 11 points, the Gulls were able to grind out a hard-fought victory, with the scores finishing Shepparton (83) to Chelsea (91). Corey Standerfer and Matthew Brasser again led from the front for the Gulls, scoring an astonishing 61 points between the two of them to help drag their side over the line. Elsewhere in Division One, Western Port Steelers secured 4th place on the table after a thumping win over the Sunbury Jets. The 11th placed Sunbury Jets went
into their clash at home as underdogs but were helped by their decent record at Boardman Stadium. Western Port Steelers were relentless in their dominating victory with Dylan Travis being the standout performer with 28 points, shooting at 80 per cent. Helped by a handy 36 points by players off the bench, Western Port ran away with an easy victory by a whopping 46 points, Western Port (107) to Sunbury Jets (61). In the Big V Division Two Women’s competition, the Mornington Breakers were faced with the mammoth task off knocking top placed Cragieburn Eagles from their perch and handing them just their second defeat of the season. Despite the odds being stacked against them, Mornington showed they were not to be taken lightly in the first quarter, going into the first break with a five-point lead having put their highly fancied opponents on the back foot. Cragieburn fought back to take the lead from Mornington, but the 8th place Breakers kept within reaching distance of the victory. Mornington Captain Fiona Darnell led from the front with an admirable 13 point performance, but ultimately the Eagles proved just too strong for their brave Mornington opponents. The Mornington Breakers fought valiantly but just fell to Cragieburn with the final scores Mornington (49) to Cragieburn (55).
By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON seniors head coach and former champion footballer Simon Goosey turned heads on Saturday afternoon after he was spotted making a surprise return to the field for Mornington’s reserves side. Goosey, now 50 years old, had a legendary playing career in the MPNFL with Mornington, kicking close to 2000 goals over 300 games before turning his attention to coaching. Much to the surprise and delight of the crowd at Alexandra Park, the legendary forward again ran out for his old club in what would prove to be a triumphant return to football. Goosey’s appearance was the result of an injury crisis that has struck Mornington, resulting in a number of coaches having to dust off their old playing boots to lend a hand when needed. “We’ve got seventeen injuries at the moment. I played about half a game just to help out the kids. We’ve got so many injuries and a couple of blokes were crook today so me and another coach had to play,” Goosey said. Despite a successful return to playing football, Goosey was quick to shut down any speculation that he might be a regular fixture on the field going forward. “No that wouldn’t be nice, I’m a bit old,” he said when asked if he would consider a permanent comeback. Goosey, donning number 41, remained firmly in the goal square during his time on the field but managed to boot a couple of goals before leaving the ground at three-quarter time to prepare for coaching the seniors later that day. His two-goal contribution helped the Mornington reserves to a comfortable 75 point win over Rosebud 15.12 (102) to 4.3 (27). Goosey went on to coach his seniors side to a convincing win over Rosebud later in the afternoon.
