PREMIER Daniel Andrews visited Frankston last Wednesday (16 August) to congratulate the Frankston Football Club on its reinstatement to the VFL club ranks. The Premier met Frankston Dolphins general manager Gary Buckenara, a former Hawthorn player, and operations manager Tina Bremert to praise them for their work in helping ensure the footy club could come out of voluntary administration. The club now has 1200 paid members, the second largest membership club in the VFL. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said “losing the Dolphins was not an option”. “No one wins when local clubs lose. I’m proud that the government could help the Dolphins with their debt, and get them back on track to rejoin the VFL,” he said. “I am overjoyed that the club will playing some great footy in 2018 and I can’t wait to get out and support them.” The Dolphins are a stand alone club in the VFL not affiliated with an AFL club.

A CAB driver was cheated of his fare by two women he collected at Clayton Medical Centre and drove to a house in White St, Mordialloc, 5.30pm, Wednesday 17 August. Police said when the women, with two children, arrived at their address one of the women attempted to pay by credit card but it was declined. She said she would get the fare money from inside and the cabbie accepted a driver’s licence as ID. The women got out and took the children inside and did not return. The cabbie called police who spoke to a woman at the house: she told them she would “pay soon”. The police contacted the woman named on the driver’s licence who said she had lost it previously. Police are matching footage on the cab’s CCTV with the identities of the women in the cab in the hope of reclaiming the cabbies’ fare.
