‘Bullying’ report ructions

By Neil Walker A BULLYING complaint lodged by a senior council officer last year is continuing to cause ructions at Kingston Council with ongoing disagreement between councillors over the handling of the report threatening to change the way councillors conduct future coun-

cil meetings and CEO John Nevins stepping aside from any further involvement in the matter.

A council-commissioned investigation by commercial investigation consultancy STOPline found bullying allegations against councillors Rosemary West, Steve Staikos and Trevor

Shewan were “unsubstantiated”. A Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate report also found the councillors had no case to answer.

Council CEO John Nevins released extracts from the STOPline report last October, in the lead up to the coun-

cil elections, but advised the report was confidential and would not be released in full.

Cr Shewan subsequently lost his South Ward seat while Rosemary West and Steve Staikos were re-elected in the Central and North wards respectively.

Cr Paul Peulich said the release of text from a confidential document by the CEO during the council election ‘caretaker period’ should be referred to Local Government Victoria to determine whether there had been a breach of the Local Government Act. Continued Page 3

Cultural concerns mark mural’s end

By Jo Winterbottom A MURAL at Kingston City Hall will be removed because it has been deemed culturally inappropriate.

Kingston Council’s public art advisory panel decided the colourful mural in the underground carpark went against the council’s “core values” and should be erased or painted over.

In a report to last week’s council meeting the panel said: “Concerns exist about the suitability of the existing mural in relation to its misrepresentations of various cultural backgrounds.

“The mural has proven controversial over the years because it includes caricatures of African people, misrepresentations of indigenous people and

other cultural backgrounds.

Kingston’s youngest councillor, David Eden, cautioned against judging art on personal or political grounds and said removing the mural was a waste of ratepayers’ money. He was alone in voting against the panel’s recommendation.

“It’s an art mural, not a historical text book,” Cr Eden said.

“I think some people are casting their own value system on art.”

The mural was painted in 2002 by Melbourne artist Mike Rings, who was given a brief to produce a “musicalthemed mural”.

Despite assurances by the panel that the artist had agreed to his work being “de-accessioned”, Mr Rings was una-

ware of the council’s concerns when contacted by The News.

“That’s a bit too PC [politically correct] isn’t it?” he said.

“Melbourne’s a multicultural city; did they only want white people on the mural?”

The McKinnon-based artist, who has a stall at the St Kilda market and shows at several Melbourne galleries, said he was not concerned.

“It doesn’t bother me really; I got paid for it and it was 10 years ago,” he said.

He is unlikely to tender for the job of painting a new mural at the carpark.

“It was big job and a tricky job to do with all the pipes and poles; I wouldn’t want to do it again.”

Anzac Day services ‘bigger than ever’

By Jo Winterbottom CHILDREN played an important part in Anzac services this year and attendances at services were again universally described as “bigger than ever”.

Mentone Grammar school held a service at Mentone RSL the day before Anzac Day and dozens of children attended the official ceremony on Thursday 25 April with their families.

Mentone RSL president Bernie Considine reckoned up to 1500 attended the dawn service at the Memorial Gardens in Mentone Parade, 500 of whom returned to the RSL for a cooked breakfast. About 2000 were at the later service following the morning parade.

“I’ve never seen such crowds,” Mr Considine said.

“A great number moved back to the club afterwards and it was going all day. It was an absolutely excellent day for us.”

It was a similar tale at Longbeach RSL in Chelsea, where estimates of the crowd at the dawn service varied from 1200 to 2000.

The march beginning at 9am was also well attended.

“I’ve never seen so many boy

Conmen warning

scouts and girl guides,” remarked Longbeach RSL member and former president John Morris.

The 10am service at the RSL was addressed by St Joseph’s Primary School students Jake Kovacic and Phoebe McCormack.

“It was just marvellous; there were so many people you could hardly move,” Mr Morris said.

Good crowds stayed for two-up, with RSL member Patrick Brennan working up a sweat as ringer.

Anzac Day at Seaford was described as “one of the best ever” by Seaford RSL manager Mike Grills.

For the first time, sporting clubs were involved in the march, with boys and girls donning their grandparent’s medals on footy jumpers, netball tunics and lifesaving vests.

“The support we got from sporting clubs was just sensational,” Mr Grills said.

The choir from Kananook Primary School sang at the service and students from Flinders Christian Community College made speeches.

Council backs CEO on ‘bullying’ report Continued from Page 1 In March, Cr Staikos moved to declare the STOPline report “confidential permanently”. Seven councillors – Crs Staikos, West, Tamara Barth, Tamsin Bearsley, Geoff Gledhill, John Ronke and mayor Ron Brownlees - backed the motion while Cr Peulich was opposed.

Cr David Eden was absent from council chambers at the time of the vote.

Cr Peulich has accused his fellow councillors of “stonewalling” by refusing his repeated demands to publicly release the STOPline report and appoint a probity auditor to review the bullying investigation.

“What have Kingston councillors got to hide?” Cr Peulich asked.

Cr West claimed councillors were becoming impatient with Cr Peulich’s “grandstanding” and were considering changing council meeting procedures

to require more than one councillor to sign notices of motion. At present any councillor can lodge a notice of motion to debate a matter at council.

“It is unfortunate that individual councillors have had their democratic rights limited in this way but councillors could see no other way to prevent Cr Peulich from abusing this privilege,” Cr West said.

Cr Staikos used his ward column in the May edition of Kingston Council’s monthly Kingston Your City newsletter to state “the [bullying] investigation is considered closed” and claim the “proposed [council meeting] changes will help to ensure council meetings are not used for the purposes of political grand stating [sic] and obstructionism.”

Cr Peulich accused council of censorship when Mr Nevins refused to publish his March ward column in which he condemned “political at-

tacks launched against me”.

Council’s handling of the STOPline report re-emerged as an issue in early April with internal council email correspondence from mayor Ron Brownlees to the CEO Mr Nevins confirming Nevins would “no longer participate in any discussion or investigation into these matters”.

Cr Brownlees stressed this move “should not be considered as a reflection on John or his performance of his duties in this matter” but was “part of a good governance procedure and transparency for all involved.”

At last week’s council meeting, Cr Peulich again pressed for an independent review of the bullying reports. The idea found no support among his council colleagues.

Councillors then went ‘in camera’ to discuss legal advice received from Macpherson & Kelley Lawyers.

Crs Staikos, Ronke, Bearsley, Barth,

West, Gledhill and Brownlees agreed to the discussion behind closed doors while Cr Peulich opposed the motion.

Cr Eden abstained.

As a result of the private discussion between councillors, council accepted legal advice “that the CEO has acted in accordance with the Local Government Act” and expressed its “full confidence in Kingston CEO John Nevins”.

Cr Brownlees advised The News: “I have accepted the CEO’s suggestion that the investigation into Cr Peulich’s complaint should be managed by myself with the support of an alternative senior officer. John continues as CEO in all other aspects of his role with the full support of council.”

The News understands the senior council employee who made the bullying complaint against the three Kingston councillors has subsequently left council employment.

A GANG of travelling conmen who promised to fix the roof of the house of an elderly Parkdale woman turned out to be pretty handy with her cash but not so dandy on the tools.

The 94-year-old woman was deprived of $1000 and her roof remained virtually untouched.

She was one of several people in Parkdale targeted by what police believe is an itinerant gang of fraudsters preying on the elderly and vulnerable by canvassing door-to-door for home maintenance work.

At least three people in one street were fleeced of a total of $3800 according to Detective Senior Constable Suzanna Hughes of Kingston crime investigation unit.

In one case reported to police an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s was charged hundreds of dollars for work never done.

“They are preying on the elderly, making outrageous quotes for work they don’t do, or only half complete,” Detective Hughes said.

Operating in groups of three or four, the men used standover tactics to press for cash up front and then failed to return to complete the promised work.

Detective Hughes said there had been several reports from residents in Parkdale over the past week. The week before the gang had been active in East Bentleigh. All those who contacted police said the men had Irish accents.

She urged residents to be wary of unsolicited salesman offering home maintenance services.

“We don’t want people to be suspicious of qualified tradesmen, but do not engage these men who are travelling door-to-door promising work for cash.”

Funding row delays surveillance cameras

From concept to reality: An online design of a surfboat (inset) floated by Mordialloc Life Saving Club won a national competition.

Design flair snares surfboat

By Neil Walker MORDIALLOC Life Saving Club has sailed through the challenge of fierce competition from 84 life saving clubs in a national design competition to win a new surfboat.

The ‘Style a Surfboat’ competition was a contest held by the Australian Surf Rowers League and the Royal Australian Navy with the Navy funding the prize boat worth $25,000.

Surf lifesaving clubs were invited to create a unique surfboat design to be uploaded to the ASRL’s Facebook page. Facebook users then narrowed down the competition field by voting for their favourite entries to form a top

ten. Representatives from the ASRL and Navy then decided Mordialloc Life Saving Club’s entry was the winner.

Mordialloc Life Saving Club secretary Rob Tennant advised The News that one of the club rowers, Jason Vaughan, had put together the winning surfboat design.

“He used our club colours for inspiration,” he said.

The duo attended the ASRL’s annual Golden Blade Awards on the Gold Coast on Monday 22 April and were “very happy” when it was announced Mordialloc had snared the coveted boat prize.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 1 May 2013

“There were three Victorian clubs in the final ten,” Mr Tennant said. “When our name was read out we were rapt.”

ASRL marketing promotions manager Peter Hickey said the competition used design templates to give fledgling, smaller surf clubs who may not have the budget to hire professional designers a chance to win the $25,000 boat.

Mr Hickey said Mordialloc Life Saving Club won the boat because “their design combination stood out from the other entries by far.”

The surfboat will be delivered to Mordialloc Life Saving Club next week.

By Jo Winterbottom CLOSED circuit television cameras planned for Moorabbin and Aspendale have been put on hold as Kingston Council and the state government argue over funding.

The council has asked the government to consider honouring its original offer of $350,000, reduced to $125,000 in February.

The council had decided on new CCTV systems at two “crime hotspots” to spend the $350,000 promised for “public safety infrastructure” in the lead up to the last state election.

The word “infrastructure” turned out to be the key, and Kingston’s submission for funding was knocked back because it included the cost of maintaining and operating the systems; one in the foreshore carpark at the end of Gnotuk Ave in Aspendale and another outside a housing block near Moorabbin railway station.

The council submitted its proposal to the then Minister for Crime Prevention, Andrew McIntosh, at the end of February. On 11 April Kingston CEO John Nevins received a reply pointing out “a

number of errors” and stating that council had until 30 April to accept a revised funding offer of $125,000.

A special meeting was hurriedly called for Monday 29 April so council could finalise its reply, the following day.

In his report, Kingston’s manager of community and aged services Rob Crispin told councillors implementing CCTV systems was “complex and relatively costly”.

“Minister McIntosh’s $125,000 funding offer to deliver CCTV systems in Aspendale and Moorabbin falls well short of the cost to effectively implement the projects and is contrary to the previous advice from the Department of Justice that a $350,000 pre-election commitment was allocated for CCTV systems,” he said.

Councillors voted to take a softer approach, deciding to write to the new Minister for Crime Prevention, Edward O’Donohue, asking him to reconsider the original allocation of $350,000 and calling for a three month extension to allow for more community consultation on CCTV cameras.

Pets fireworks ‘trauma’ fear DOG owners have been warned to take special care of their pooches during fireworks at the close of the Harvest Festival on Saturday 11 May. Kingston Council is writing to all residents within 200 meters of Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum, where the annual festival will be held, but the decision to include fireworks in the festival has attracted criticism on the council’s Facebook site for the potential to cause “trauma” to pets.

The council replied that fireworks were being tried after a trial of fire writing last year was “unsuccessful”.

The Harvest Festival runs from 11am to 11pm on Saturday 11 May with food, market stalls and music headlined by country singer Adam Brand.

On standby: Paramedic Kate Sedgwick at the new ambulance station in Chelsea. Picture: Yanni

New action station Chelsea has a new ambulance station to help paramedics deal with medical emergencies.

The new station became operational in March and was recently officially opened by Minister for Health David Davis and Carrum MP Donna Bauer.

“The new ambulance station will deliver significant improvements to facilities for paramedics,” Ms Bauer said.

The new station on Nepean Highway replaces the previous Chelsea ambulance station at Spencer Street, which opened in the 1960s.

“The new 24-hour branch is larger than the previous one and has a drive-through garage with fit-for-purpose storage and delivery rooms,” Mr Davis said.

However, Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region Lee Tarlamis claimed information acquired under a freedom of information request by the state opposition revealed Chelsea ambulance station’s response time had blown out by 2 minutes and 20 seconds, Seaford by 1 minute and 42 seconds and Patterson Lakes by 1 minute and 39 seconds since 2010.

Mr Davis said the Victorian Government was investing $151 million in ambulance services statewide, including recruiting 310 additional paramedics and 30 patient transport officers.

“We are also working with Ambulance Victoria to ensure that new paramedics are sent to areas across our state with the greatest need,” Mr Davis said.

Bashing witnesses sought TRANSIT police are investigating the assault of a man by a group of youths near Mentone railway station on Saturday 27 April.

Detective Senior Constable Matt Wick has appealed for witnesses to the assault in Granary Lane or the preceding verbal altercation at the railway station.

The Parkdale man, aged in his 50s, was left with severe facial injuries after he was chased and set upon by up to four males aged between 16 and 18.

Detective Wick said the man had been drinking at bar in Mentone and was waiting for a Frankston-bound train about midnight on Saturday when got into an argument with

a group of about 10 young people on the platform opposite.

He left the station when the youths began throwing stones at him and the group then chased him up to Balcombe Rd and into Granary Lane, where he was bashed at the rear of Scicluna’s green grocery.

The man crawled to the Safeway supermarket where he was discovered by the manager, who called police. The victim was taken to Monash Medical Centre where he underwent surgery to repair his jaw, which was broken in three places.

Anyone with information can contact the transit police crime investigation unit on 9247 6844 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Crosse breed cloning first

By Keith Platt THE interest of the equine world is zeroing in on a small landholding in Pearcedale.

But it is not the polocrosse horses in Jeremy and Peta Marriott’s fenced paddocks that are attracting all the attention.

The centre of focus is East Lynne Plucker, a 21-year-old, 15.2-hands high grey gelding living out his autumn years on a farm at Geraldton in Western Australia.

The Mariotts and other members of the family are the central members of a syndicate formed to create a clone of the horse affectionately known as Plukka.

If successful, a stallion with an exact replica of his DNA will be born in August 2014.

It will be an Australian first and a birth that could lead to clones of other champion horses.

Plukka is a star when it comes to polocrosse and is unknowingly participating in the cloning program that could see his genetic double fathering future champions.

Plukka cannot breed as such but the latest scientific techniques make it possible for his unique genetic code to live on.

Unable to collect his sperm, the cloning program will see cells extracted from Plukka then used to culture stem cells injected into DNA-less eggshells.

The offspring will be grown from a chip off its old man’s block.

The eggs will be returned to the mare from where they were collected to grow and the resulting foal born in the normal way.

The mare, a surrogate mother, will have no genetic link to her foal.

PAGE 8

Awaiting new foal: Jeremy Marriott at his Pearcedale property with one of his polocrosse horses.

The foal will be a stallion, just the same as Plukka.

But from then on the destinies of the two horses will be vastly different.

The stallion will not be gelded and his sperm will be collected to father any number of other Plukka-like horses for polocrosse.

“Polocrosse horses are basically Australian stock horses,” Mr Marriott says.

“The cloning we are doing will be the first in Australia of any type of horse.”

The interest in Plukka comes from his success as a polocrosse player, which has been recognised internationally.

He has been ridden in seven national titles, a record, and “is arguably the best polocrosse horse ever produced”, Mr Marriott says.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 1 May 2013

Mr Marriott’s family in WA bred Plukka, whose bloodlines go back a stud run

by Australia’s highest rated polo player, Sinclair Hill, in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.

While the biopsy which supplied the cells for Plukka’s clone was done in WA, the preparation of the egg and its implanting in a mare will take place in Geelong.

Up to 15 mares will be implanted with eggs, with just one being allowed to foal. The progress of the embryos will be closely monitored, with all but the healthiest one terminated in vitro.

Experts from the United States are overseeing the medical procedures, which involve “sucking out” any DNA from the mares’ eggs before they are filled with stem cells cultured from a

slice of flesh taken from Plukka’s neck.

“We don’t have sperm but we effectively have conception,” Mr Marriott says.

“The patented part is how the eggs are kick-started into growing an embryo without sperm.”

Eggs implanted with cells containing Plukka’s DNA have been frozen, waiting for spring when they will be implanted into the chosen mares.

“We have a conglomerate of experts out from the US, geneticists, and vets from the US and Australia,” Mr Marriott says.

“There’s a lot of interest from the polo fraternity in securing Plukka’s bloodline.”

Mr Marriott puts the cost of the clon-

ing program at $250,000-$500,000 and says that making more than one Plukka clone would devalue the service fees expected from his offspring.

Genetic material taken from Plukka is also being kept as insurance in case the cloning fails.

While there is a worldwide ban on cloning racehorses, the same does not apply to show jumpers, polo or rodeo horses.

“There are almost 2500 cloned horses worldwide, from just one in 2003,” Mr Marriott says.

“Typically, the physical attributes of a cloned horse are the same but the markings can be different because they are the result of pressure within the womb and are nothing to do with DNA.” Mt Martha-based equine vet John Bowers said using eggs produced by a particular mare avoided there being an antigenic reaction.

“Her antibodies won’t attack the eggs because they came from her in the first place,” Mr Bowers said.

“The DNA is taken out of her eggs leaving just an eggshell. Cloning will keep the characteristics of the original horse, including its sex.

“The foal will be genetically identical but not an identical animal. “ Although Plukka is acclaimed within polocrosse circles and Mr Marriott is a member of the Moorooduc club, the two have never played a game together.

“I’ve never sat on him, although everyone else in the family has,” he says.

“It would be a no win situation. If we didn’t excel it would have been because of me and, if we did do well, it would have been because of Plucker.”

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The last of the lickspittle generation

By Stuart McCullough WE were celebrating the birthday of my niece. Matilda was turning seven and the family had gathered at the farm to mark the occasion.

Given that this was likely to be the last of the nice weather, we decided to eat outdoors. Under the sailcloth near the barbecue were a number of tables loaded with all manner of food. But just as we prepared to swarm around lunch, a large number of European wasps got in first. Within seconds, they were everywhere. I blame social media.

I assume that the insects had heard about Matildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday through facebook and decided to turn up en masse and uninvited. However, we take a strict approach to gatecrashers and my father immediately sprang into action. Rather than retreat, he decided to wage war against the interlopers, dispatching one of grandkids to go and fetch the Glad Wrap. But while covering the food in plastic prevented direct access, it did little to deter the wasps who continued to gather in ever-larger numbers, presumably with a view of using a battering ram to get through the cling wrap veneer. But my father refused to concede defeat.

In this world, there are two types of families. There are those for whom the fly swat is their weapon of choice, to send various creepy crawlies from this world into the next. These people may well be Amish and avoid buttons.

We, however, are people of science and use fly spray. Clutching twin cans of Mortein like a gunfighter, our father began spraying the wasps without

mercy. Given that they were in the midst of trying to break through the protective layer of Glad Wrap, this meant unleashing a torrent of insecticide on the various serving dishes containing lunch.

Although the sun was shining, as it so often does in Tyabb, the wind was blowing also and a steady stream of spray soon began to make my brothers and sisters feel a little unsteady. It was, of course, not the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen such mayhem.

When we were kids, insect spray was practically a condiment, right up there with mayonnaise and mustard.

At the slightest rattle of a blowfly, my father would be off to fetch the can.

Without exception, the insect would be loitering around the dinner table as thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where all the interesting stuff

was. Like a sniper, he would stand, can poised, trying to make visual contact. Once he did, my father would issue a general warning to cover our food before letting loose. You could see the particles of spray drifting down through the atmosphere towards your plate and glass.

Attempts to cover our food were eventually abandoned as we developed a taste for it. Indeed, I can barely bring myself to eat anything without the tang of chemicals and pine needles I knew and loved as a child.

In some respects, the fly spray was the least of our worries. Other family favourites included being invited to eat without a plate. Usually, this was a biscuit or some other snack rather than a full meal. The offer of going sans plate was an attempt at a kind of

laissez faire informality that was ordinarily beyond us as the idea of eating anything without a plate was generally considered a notch below anarchy. But there was always a catch.

While we were invited to throw caution to the wind, we could not do the same with our crumbs and were forced to eat standing over the sink. While this severely detracted from the devil may care thrill of going â&#x20AC;&#x153;platelessâ&#x20AC;?, we were too in awe of the occasion to complain. I may whinge about it now, but to this day I find myself compelled to stand, leaning like Pisa, over the sink as I eat a piece of toast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad state of affairs.

But of all the things that were a feature of our childhood, none has left a more indelible mark than this: the lickspittle grime removal method. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

a substantial irony in that the whole point of the lickspittle method was to remove otherwise indelible marks from your face.

For those unfamiliar with it, the lickspittle method involved a parent spitting into a handkerchief (or similar), then using the now moistened rag to wipe your face. As an adult and with the benefit of hindsight, this sounds like one of the most disgusting things you could possibly do to another human being, a step short of water boarding but ten times worse than a wet willy.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids would, no doubt, be slack-jawed in shock at the fact that such things ever occurred. These days, parents are loaded up with all kinds of moistened wipes that have made the art of projecting your saliva into an ancient snot rag largely a thing of the past. But as disgusting as it was, it taught you a lot about life. It also taught you to never trust a handkerchief.

As the wasps swarmed around us and Mortein gushed into the atmosphere, I instinctively fell down and began spinning in a circle. As the haze of the spray drifted off into the breeze, I looked up to see all the members of my family gazing down in shock. I had reacted in haste. As I got to my feet, I felt a deep sense of embarrassment. In fact, you might say that there was egg all over my face. As I stood, glowing with shame, my father reached into his pocket, pulled out a handkerchief before quickly spitting in it and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come here.â&#x20AC;? www.stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Blues and Magpies finally on the board NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt HASTINGS is finally on the scoreboard in Nepean League and has given itself a kick start after dominating Devon Meadows all afternoon to win by 75 points.

After a week of team building, which included getting together for the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day, the Blues were able to put the spirit and determination of the ocassion to the test on Saturday and really hammer the opposition.

Not only did the Blues win by almost 13 goals, it was the way in which they did it that would have impressed coach Glenn Michie.

The Blues restricted the opposition to just four goals. The final score was 17.10.112 to 4.13.37.

And it was a handful of the players who have not given the side a lot in the first three rounds that were able to bobup and add some real value.

Luke Hewitt is a very capable player and he contributed four goals. Will Jolley got into the swing of things and hit the scoreboard, Josh Mulheron really dominated in the ruck and worked hard around the ground, Paul Rogasch found some rhythm and Jason Kestle was back to his old self across half back, defending first and then driving his team forward.

Coach Glenn Michie was also able to provide some of the zip we haven’t seen for a while and he contributed three goals.

The Blues developed a reputation last season and it continued into this season as being a team that ran well offensively but didn’t want a bar of it when the ball was going the other way.

On Saturday they were able to correct that. The likes of Taylor Stratton and Andy Kiely continued their brilliant starts and Tony Mirabella made it 20 goals in the first four matches.

On paper, the Blues are a very good side. We just need to start seeing some consistency in passion, effort and willingness to work in what is a very even season.

Crib Point is finally on the board after smashing Tyabb by more than 10 goals on Saturday.

Its been a very lean beginning for the Magpies and despite some ‘whacking’ from yours truly, they haven’t been able to respond until now.

Everyone loves to see the Magpies up

On the board: Hastings fired to down Devon Meadows. Picture: Andrew Hurst

and about and they certainly were on the weekend.

It was tight in the first half with the Pies leading at home by just eight points at the major break.

However, the Pies were let off the leash in the second half and dominated.

It seems everyone got involved.

Former Crib Point junior Jake Ross snagged six goals in his best performance since crossing from Hastings, Jon Flack helped himself to five majors, Luke Herrington chipped-in with four and Matty Sloper got amongst the goals for the second week in a row with three.

Without a couple of their stars, including James Cook, the Pies were able to really turn on what we had expected from them all season.

Waide Symes was outstanding for the winners, as was Zak Dekleuver, who has been a consistent performer for the Pies. Lee Koerner was also given the responsibility of being the number one ruckman, which he lapped-up.

Ryan Jones worked tirelessly for the Yabbies, as did Craig Conlan, who is in super form. Skipper Ethan Rahilly also tried his best with a couple of goals.

Frankston Bombers and Rye went to the wire, the Bombers winning their second close game in as many weeks against good opposition.

The Bombers have been able to beat two sides that played finals last season and now remain undefeated at the top of the table.

On Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve, the Bombers led by 14 points at quarter time, by one point at half time and by seven points at three quarter time.

Rye had plenty of chances to win the game in the last quarter, however, the Bombers were just more composed when it mattered, winning 15.8.98 to 14.10.94.

It was the older heads of Bombers, especically twins Ryan and Nathan Lonie that proved to be the difference between the sides.

Coach Duncan Proud was able to get forward and boot a couple of goals, while youngsters in Matt Harris and Anthony Fulton booted three and two goals respectively.

Aaron Hunter has also been unassuming this season for the Bombers and he was good yet again.

Sean Cain was outstanding for the Demons with three goals and Darren Booth, as we have come to expect, won a lot of his own ball.

Ben Holmes kicked four goals and Ben Winters-Kerr managed to slot through a couple, while Hagan Rice did his job to perfection.

Rosebud won its second game in the past three weeks with 10 goals, this time against Somerville.

The Buds booted eight goals in the first half, however, were outscored by the Eagles 4.3 to 2.11 after the major interval, sneaking over the line by 21 points, 10.16.76 to 8.9.57.

Lachy Armstrong has been an underutilised forward for the Buds this season, despite boasting enoumous ability. However, on Saturday, he was sort-out by the Rosebud mids and finished with three goals to be the major contributor on the ground and one of his team’s best.

Ben Shultz snagged two while Matty Payne and Greg Bentley were the dominant performers on the ground yet again. Sam Krumeich is a very underrated player for the Buds in

defence but his game again on the weekend was first class.

The Eagles were gallant in defeat.

Rowan Hogenbirk and Ben Sedgewick led from the front and Jedd Sutton was elusive. Justin Farrelly was also outstanding in the ruck.

Dromana continued its destructive form, smashing Red Hill to the tune of 125 points.

The Tigers have been devastating since losing to Sorrento on Easter Saturday, belting Hastings, Pearcedale and now the Hillmen.

On Saturday up on the wide open spaces of Red Hill, the Tigers had 44 scoring shots to just nine and boasted 11 different goalkickers.

Anthony Bruhn booted six, Adam Loury contributed five and Daniel Waddell kicked three.

Jarred Wood was solid in defence, Luke O’Neil dominated in the ruck and gave his small brigade first option and Paul Minchington continued his dominant start to the season.

It was a very long afternoon for the Hillmen.

Jake Mold, Robbie Mace and Mitch LaFontaine were the best performers for the Hillmen.

Sorrento completed the expected and beat Pearcedale, however, it didn’t come before a scare from the Panthers.

The Panthers had an outstanding second quarter, where it booted seven goals to two to lead at half time by eight points.

However, as expected, the Sharks came out after the break and showed that brilliant form that can turn a game on its head.

Sorrento booted nine goals in the third quarter to just one, Leigh Poholke brilliant with seven goals while Ryan Jeffrey dominated across half forward.

Guy Stringer rebounded from down back while through the middle, the likes of Leigh Treeby and Cayden Beetham got their hands on the footy.

At three quarter time the Sharks had gone from being eight points down to being 47 points in front.

The Panthers rallied in the final term and went with the opposition. Pat Heijden was outstanding with seven goals while Chris Fortnam finished with four. Chris Hensby played his best game for his new club and Byron Hoe showed glimpses of his best.

Doggies down Seagulls, Tigers down Eagles PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE race is on for a top five place in Peninsula League after the round four results highlighted the fact that we have a very even competition.

Coming into the season, many assumed a number of things about the upcoming season.

1. Mt Eliza would slide after losing some sensational players.

2. Bonbeach and Edi-Asp would improve considerably given they had maintained and added to their lists.

3. Mornington would be the big mover given the extended talent it was able to add to its list.

4. Seaford would be an exciting but inconsistent side given its youth.

5. Pines would take another step considering its youngsters were another year older and the depth of the list had improved.

6. Frankston YCW would be the yardstick of the competition 7. Karingal’s spirit would continue to drive it to success, despite the fact it was still some key players away from the ultimate success.

Well, after four matches in the Peninsula League season, it appears that while some of these assumptions were spot-on, there were others that still had question marks over them.

On Saturday, Mt Eliza staged a wonderful last quarter to get the chocolates over Bonbeach to the tune of 18 points.

Now, on predictions, this was a turnup.

In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, the Redlegs booted five goals to two

in the final term to win 12.11.83 to 9.11.65.

Ben Lean and Dave Willett each kicked four goals for the winners while Rohan Heasley continued his dominant start to the season.

Karl Lombardozzi has also been a considerable asset to the club since returning and Josh Norman and Rob D’Orazio found the form that saw the Redlegs play in a grand final last season.

Despite being at home, the Sharks couldn’t stop the run-on of the Redlegs.

Dylan Jones continues to be a standout in the ruck for the red, white and black and Shaun Foster and Mark Tyrell have been in outstanding form.

It was the elusiveness of the Redlegs’ small forwards though that hurt the Sharks and it’s something that coach Stevey Capp will need to address in the coming weeks.

Mornington continued its outstanding start to the season and maintained its position in second place on the table after a resounding victory over Chelsea.

The Seagulls are the only team in the competition not to have won a game in the first four rounds.

On Saturday, the Gulls conceded 15 scoring shots in the opening quarter against the breeze at Alexandra Park.

However, it was able to hit back against the Doggies in the second quarter and trailed by 27 points at the halfway mark of the match.

It was all Mornington in the second half, however, winning 19.22.136 to 10.8.68.

Adrian Speedy was clearly the best

player on the ground with five goals playing through the middle and pinch hitting in attack. Speedy’s start to the 2013 season has been as good as anyones in the competition.

James Cameron is a very underated player outside of the kennel and once again he was able to destroy the opposition on the scoreboard with four majors.

Byron Holt was superb in the ruck for the winners and provided first option to his smaller brigade and Warwick Miller dominated on the wing, as he has done in every match this season.

Don’t be surprised to see Miller leading the league medal at the halfway mark before he jumps on a plane and heads overseas.

Emilio Bitters has been one of the pick-ups of the season, joining the Doggies from Somerville. His ability to win the hardball and dispose of it neatly under pressure is a highlight of his game.

The Gulls had few winners. Ryan Stewart, the skipper, is always going to give you everything he has to help you win a game of footy.

Joel Connelly is another who has been in the hoops for a long time and gives his all consistently, while Matty Ponton works tirelessly. Fia Tootoo has been an outstanding recruit and continues to fly the flag for his team.

Other than that, there are some other recruits that really need to look within themselves and determine what their worth is to the side.

Pines dominated Langwarrin in the second half of its match at Lloyd Park

to record a comfortable 17.20.122 to 9.10.64 victory.

Scores were locked at quarter time, however, the Pythons booted 14 goals to six after the first change to win comfortably.

Dale Tedge was once again on fire for the winners, booting five goals, while Beau Hendry continues to rise in stature. It’s Beau’s consistency that is the difference in his game and he is quickly becoming one of the dominant big men in the competition.

Jake Prosser was also up against his old club and despite a limited pre-season, he was able to have a real impact on the game for the Pythons.

It was the same old players that did the work for the Kangas – namely Daniel Wehner and Shane Urbans.

Dan Riley worked hard across half back, along with Jack O’Shea, however, the Kangas would have been devastated with the result.

After a few years of ‘developing’ they should be on par with Pines.

However, once again, it was proven that they are a long way off it.

In the traditional Frankston RSL clash, Frankston YCW maintained its psycological edge over Karingal, leading all afternoon to win 10.19.79 to 9.9.63.

The scoreboard looked a lot worse for the Bulls at the halfway mark, having just one goal at the main break, while the Stonecats had six majors.

The Bulls hit back in the third and the margin was just eight points at the final change.

With the aid of the breeze in the last, the Stonecats peppered the goals for a return of 2.8, while the Bulls added

two straight.

Kyle Hutchison, Brad Ulms with two goals and Tony Lester were the best of the Stonecats, while Kristain Bliesner was outstanding in the ruck for the Bulls, while Sam McGarry (three goals) and Luke Van Raay also provided plenty of drive and some goal scoring options.

Inaccurate kicking is bad football.

On Saturday at Seaford Reserve, Edithvale-Aspendale had 17 scoring shots in a dominant opening term against Seaford but could only manage a return of 5.12.

The Eagles finished the match with 31 scoring shots to Seaford’s 24.

The final winning margin was 18 points in favor of the Tigers, 15.9.99 to 8.23.71.

It wasn’t only inaccuracy that cost the Eagles, it was Seaford’s defencive pressure after quarter time that stemmed the tide.

The reality is that after the first quarter, Seaford outscored the Eagles 12.8 to 3.11.

Seaford dominated the match with Tommy Shaw (five goals), Aaron Walton (four goals) and Brayden Irving (four goals) dominating.

16-year-old Rourke Fisher was also outstanding for the winners and Damien Lawrence with two goals was significant in the win.

Stevey and Timmy Mannix were at their best for the Eagles and Zac Muschialli worked hard, however, they just didn’t look like kicking enough goals after the first change.

The Eagles have been a little disappointing after their first victory over Chelsea.

Interleague team selected to begin 2013 campaign INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt The first squad has been announced for the Peninsula League interleague campaign.

A squad of 44 players was selected by Peninsula League coach Steve Ryan and assistant Troy Shannon.

Peninsula League will play Ovens & Murray at Visy Park on May 25.

The Nepean League squad is almost completed and will be announced later this week, being compiled by coaches Gavin Artico and Glenn Michie.

One thing is consistent with

all coaches. If players don’t want to represent their league, they don’t want them to play.

Ryan told the RPP Footy Show last Saturday that it was important that Peninsula League had a squad and ultimately 22 players who wanted to represent the league.

“Interleague football is a wonderful opportunity for every player in the competition.

I loved playing it,” the former Richmond and Collingwood forward said.

“Ultimately, we want the best possible 22 players in the side who really want to represent their league,” Ryan said.

Gavin Artico agreed.

“If players don’t want to play, we don’t want to waste their time and we don’t want them to waste ours,” Artico said.

“We all talk about what league is better – Peninsula or Nepean.

“Whilst we’re not in the same division, this does present an opportunity for us to work towards that.

Peninsula League will have a meet and greet at Langwarrin’s Lloyd Park on May 1 at 6pm, before training begins at the same venue on May 8.

The Peninsula League squad selected last week is: MORNINGTON Warrick Miller Jackson Calder Callum Searl.
