Golf course rezoning ‘disappointment’

KINGSTON Council have expressed their disappointment at the Victorian Planning Minister’s decision to approved the controversial redevelopment of the Kingswood Golf Course site in Dingley.

The announcement by Sonya Kilkenny MP was on the back of the Andrews government’s broad housing statement designed to ramp up construction to alleviate the current housing crisis.

It is believed the rezoning of the golf course land, and its subsequent redevelopment, could support up to 800 new homes.

The rezoning comes just weeks after the owner of the golf course,

AustralianSuper, announced it was backing away from its plan to redevelop the land after failing to gain the necessary government approvals.

In a statement published Monday 25 September, Kingston Council stated they “fully supports the need to address Melbourne’s housing crisis, but there is absolutely no need to sacrifice important green open spaces like golf courses to achieve this.”

They said Kingston’s Housing Strategy is a positive plan that identifies more suitable sites for new housing growth to meet the forecast demand, and we call on the Minister to approve this plan as soon as possible.

Kingston Mayor Hadi Saab said Australian Super’s proposed development for the site sparked over 8000 community objections and it is very notable that the Minster has only approved the rezoning and not the development plan.

“On the back of Australian Super’s recent announcement that they intend to sell the land, we believe it provides an opportunity for the new owner to reset the relationship with the community and offer genuine engagement on the site’s future,” Cr Saab said.

“While we understand the state government has determined that this site will be used for housing, as things stand, we don’t know how

many homes will be allowed on the site or how other important issues will be addressed.

“Any development of Kingswood should include much-needed open space, and infrastructure to meet the needs of this new and existing Dingley Village community, including a large proportion of social and affordable housing, and the protection of canopy trees and green space to address the heat island effect and lessen the impacts of the climate crisis.

“With the owner now required to prepare a development plan that outlines how these priorities will be met, we expect that the local community and Council will still have a strong

role to play in shaping these important details.

“If development does go ahead, it must happen in a responsible, coordinated and balanced way.”

Kingston is taking a motion to the Municipal Association of Victoria State Council Meeting to be held in October.

The motion is asking for the Minister for Planning to urgently review the Planning Guidelines for the Conversion of Golf Course Land to Other Purposes, and their practical application. Council feels this is necessary due to the poor process and outcome of the Kingswood application.

“Thank you for supporting your Victoria Police.”

175 of our members have died in the line of duty. On Blue Ribbon Day, I’m so grateful for the Victorian community’s support in remembering our fallen of cers.

Your donation will help build emergency medical centres named in their honour – facilities that serve each and every Victorian. September 29th is Blue Ribbon Day. Remember.

Shane Patton, Chief Commissioner Victoria Police

An independent voice for the community

POOCH owners of the south-east rejoice! Chadwick Reserve in Dingley Village is now home to an all-new and improved off-leash dog park. The old off-leash area has been transformed into a 3000 square metre enclosed doggie haven, with new agility equipment, a large run about area, nature play features, a stick library, and everything pet owners need to enjoy a great outing with their pups, including dog waste bag dispensers and plenty of shelter and seating.

In a first for Kingston, the park has a separate area for small dogs who might prefer to play with others their

own size.

Mayor Hadi Saab said the new park is the latest way Kingston is supporting our pet owners across the city.

“We are an animal loving Council and committed to ensuring we are providing the best possible spaces for our furry friends to safely exercise and socialise,” Cr Saab said.

The mayor said Chadwick Reserve is a great place to visit for non-dog owners too.

“Council has invested heavily in the reserve over the past three years, to make it an inviting space for people of all ages to get active and spend time outdoors,” Cr Saab said.

“We’ve done lots of planting to make it brighter, greener, and more welcoming, built a beautiful new pavilion, upgraded the basketball court and BMX track, and reconstructed the oval.

“A new barbecue, picnic table and shelter have been installed, and there is lots of seating and park benches throughout the reserve.

“The newly upgraded playground has been really popular with Kingston kids too, featuring all ages play equipment, including accessible swings and nature play elements.

“Chadwick really is a great place to be.”

Festival to celebrate ageing positively

KINGSTON City Council is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated Seniors Festival throughout October.

Celebrating positive ageing and the contributions of our older community members, the 2023 festival boasts a jam-packed schedule of over 100 free and low-cost events and activities tailored for those aged 55+.

The much-loved festival has attracted around 5,000 participants in its recent peak year, illustrating its significance in the Kingston community and the southeast. Residents eager to discover what’s on this year can pick up the festival booklet at local libraries, community hubs, selected supermarkets, or online at kingston.vic.gov.au/seniors-festival.

Mayor Hadi Saab will officially launch the festival at the Patterson Lakes Community Centre on Tuesday, 3 October between 2 and 3.30pm.

“Engaged and socially connected older people are happier and healthier and I encourage all our older residents to step out, explore new activities, and strengthen their ties to our community by experiencing this year’s festival,” Cr Saab said.

“Council is immensely proud that older people represent about 30% of our community and the festival highlights that the health and wellbeing of older people is a top priority for Council.”

Aligned with the broader Victorian Seniors Festival 2023, the Victorian

Government is offering eight days of complimentary public transport for Victorian Seniors Card holders from 1-8 October. For more information, visit seniorsonline.vic.gov.au/Victorian-seniors-festival.

The festival coincides with the International Day of Older Persons on 1 October, an initiative designed to foster worldwide respect and appreciation for the older generation.

In the same spirit, the Kingston Senior Services Expo on 24 November at the Moorabbin Activity Hub will spotlight health and wellbeing services for older people. Keep an eye on Council’s website for more information on this one closer to the date.

Chelsea Yacht Club reflects on forty years ago

FORTY years ago on the 26 September the nation was transfixed by the race between the two 12 metres, Liberty and Australia II, that was unfolding at Newport, Rhode Island.

On that day was the final and deciding race, each boat having 3 wins.

After winning the start, Liberty was overtaken by Australia II, only to be then overtaken by Liberty. At the start of the final downwind leg Australia II was “in the groove” and ran Liberty down to take the lead on a downwind jibe. Australia II then led into the final windward leg to the finish line. After an intense tacking duel of nearly 50 tacks, Australia II finished with a winning margin of 43 seconds after the 4 1/2 hour race, thus creating history, becoming the first successful challenger in 132 years to win the America’s Cup.

As skipper of Australia II, John Bertrand’s name will forever be synonymous with that win, however John’s sailing resume is very long, having also won an Olympic Bronze medal in the Finn class and two-time World champion in Etchells. Just recently John won the 2023 Etchell National Championships in Adelaide.

John is also an Extraordinary Member of Chelsea Yacht Club, commencing his sailing career at Chelsea at the age of seven when he joined with his older brother Lex as cadet members. Both John and Lex’s sailing at Chelsea saw them win championships in Sabots, progressing to winning championships in Vaucluse Juniors (VJ’s), and in 1968 winning the Australian Lightweight Sharpie nationals held at Chelsea Yacht Club with John on

helm, brother Lex as forward hand, and Peter Evans on mainsheet sailing their boat V93 “Triad”.

John and Lex’s triumphs sit alongside other Chelsea Yacht Club sailors who whilst sailing at Chelsea have collectively won two world championships, 46 National Championships, and 130 Victorian Championships in a

range of boat classes, placing Chelsea Yacht Club as one of Australia’s outstanding clubs in developing and training participants and leaders in the sport.

Lex, who himself was a very successful Olympic coach, continues helping Chelsea Yacht Club develop the sailors of tomorrow. Described as

the “the coaches coach” Lex, who has been a member for 70 years, is hands on at the Club every Saturday morning encouraging both the Club and all the Learn to Sail participants to love the sea and be the best they can.

In 2021 Chelsea Yacht Club awarded Lex the Club’s Significant Contribution Award for his lifetime contribution to sailing at both a national and international level, as well as his significant contribution to Chelsea Yacht Club through excellence and innovation.

President Stephen Fankhauser said “The Club expresses our gratitude and thanks to the Bertrand family for the legacy they have left our Club and their continuing association and contributions, and we join with them as we remember an event that changed a nation forty years ago, one whose roots started at Chelsea Yacht Club”. For membership and Learn to Sail enquiries at Chelsea Yacht Club please contact the club manager on 0493 187 792 or manager@chelseaycahtclub. com.au

‘Game on’ for stadium after challenges

AFTER two year’s work, and overcoming the collapse of the builder responsible for the rebuild, Jubilee Park Stadium has opened.

The project was believed close to completion when the builder, Lloyd Group, entered voluntary administration in late March 2023.

At the time, Frankston Council confirmed that four council projects had been impacted by the builder’s collapse – Jubilee Park Stadium, the Healthy Futures Hub at St Kilda FC’s former Seaford training base, Lloyd Park Senior Pavilion, and Eric Bell Pavilion.

In a statement to The Times at the time of Lloyd Group’s collapse, Frankston Council said it is working with appointed administrator Deloitte to assess the status of affected projects. “Council will work with all parties to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible. Discussions with Deloitte to date have been positive and we expect to receive a progress report next week and are hopeful of a resolution within the next few weeks.”

“This is a disappointing situation for council and all involved. Due diligence checks to assess a company’s financial viability are routinely conducted as part of council’s procurement process prior to engaging a contractor for any major construction project. Lloyd Group were deemed sound for all projects, however in the current increased inflation market conditions, issues such as we are now experiencing are

unforeseeable.

The newly opened stadium features six courts — including a show court with capacity to seat 1,000 people — as well cricket/ multipurpose training facilities, occasional childcare, modern cafe, event rooms and female-friendly facilities, the stadium replaces a two-court netball

facility that had been well and truly outgrown.

In a further coup for the local community, Frankston District Netball Association will operate the stadium, providing increased/diverse participation opportunities.

FDNA Board of Management

President Corinna Harvey said this

was a true multi-sport complex with a focus on building community connection.

“Netball embraces everybody. We want everyone to come and enjoy sport and to be with their families and friends to support their mental and physical wellbeing,” she said. “It’s an honour to play a part in

bringing people together.”

While the stadium is the largest and most visible change within Jubilee Park in the past few years, it is one of many implemented as part of the park’s master plan.

Other projects just completed or underway in the precinct include:

n Realigning the Hill Street access road with car parking;

n Enlarging the Trotting Track oval;

n New sports lighting on John Coburn oval and the Trotting Track oval;

n Additional paved pathways around the Trotting Track and carpark;

n Upgrading of the Kevin Collopy pavilion; and

n New pathways, landscaping and tree planting.

In the past few years, Council also constructed 13 outdoor netball courts, upgraded lighting for football night games and training, and built new cricket nets and a new play space.

The new stadium – which is funded by Council, the Australian and Victorian Governments, Cricket Australia/Victoria and Frankston and District Netball Association (FDNA) - will now be able to host Victorian Netball League competitions. And Frankston’s state level competition team, Peninsula Waves, will also be able to play at their home base and showcase the netball pathway to young and aspiring netballers.

Feet first for mental health

CARDIOLOGIST Dr Geoffrey Toogood has been announced as a winner in the 2023 Australian Mental Health Prize.

Celebrating exceptional individuals who have made significant strides in the realm of mental health advocacy, the prize aims to acknowledge the invaluable work carried out by Australians in the field of mental health.

The Assistant Minister for Men-

tal Health and Suicide Prevention, Emma McBride, presented Toogood, of Frankston South, with the Lived Experienc award on Monday (25 September) during a ceremony at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

Bush Tragedy - Wood-cutter Pinned By Tree

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

THE Bittern Progress Association held a very successful meeting on September 24, the attendance being a record.

The site of the recreation reserve still hangs in the balance as the land in view is a bit small, but a satisfactory way out of the difficulty is nearly certain.

Cr. Jack addressed the meeting as a fully fledged councillor and was warmly received.

He put forward several propositions for doing Watson’s road and the association decided to call a special meeting of the ratepayers concerned in the completion of Watson’s road.

It was decided to apply for a Government grant to put the road in order to get to the beautiful beach and scenery near Golden Point, Crib Point.

The next meeting of the association is to be held on October 31.

ROY Mott, a Cheltenham railway employee, gives every evidence of becoming a champion wrestler and weight-lifter.

Twenty years old, his elementary tuition was aided by the practice of Sandown series of exercises; following these he became a pupil of Mr. S. P. England, and latterly was taken in hand by Billy Meeske.

Young Mott, who weighs 11st.

GALLERY TALK

Archibald Prize 2023 has landed on the Mornington Peninsula.

The richest portrait prize in Australia and an exhibition that captures the public imagination like no other, the Archibald Prize is the most powerful art brand in the country. Nearly everyone has heard of the Archibald Prize. Judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales since 1921, the Archibald Prize is hotly contested, passionately discussed and dissected and loved by many.

We are pleased to present Young Archie Mornington Peninsula in our Foyer gallery, celebrating the work of local students. Students were invited to participate via their schools and we are excited to present the most outstanding portraits of someone significant to the young artists.

We have an extensive range of public and education programs on offer, including weekday free guided tours at 3.15pm, and special events including workshops and talks.

Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy a coffee and light meal from Commonfolk Café or unwind at our afternoon sessions at Habitat Bar with Mornington Peninsula beer, wine or spirits, Mediterranean food truck, games and more. Friday nights the exhibition is

people appear to think they do.

The city papers are alright in their way, but they do not give you that in which you are most interested – your country news.

You cannot learn from them when or where your country meetings are to be held, who are dying or who are marrying, who are moving in or who are moving out, court proceedings, who wants to buy or sell land or produce, in fact hundreds of things of which it might be of particular importance for you to know.

If you can afford to take only one paper, by all means take the one that is printed in the town or district where you live.

It will cost you less, and thereby you will be assisting yourself and keeping the money in the district.

SEVERAL local orchardists are now carting their fruit direct to the Melbourne market by motor wagon.

Cr. A. J. Alden, of “Little London” orchard, Tyabb, and Mr. F. C. Renouf, of “Bay View” orchard, Tyabb, are recent additions to the already large list of Peninsula fruitgrowers, who are using this means of safe, sure, and swift means of fruit transport.

LAST night a public meeting was held in the Shire Hall, Frankston to consider the statement which Mr. Hansen, of the Education Department, alleged to have made over the phone to the shire secretary to the effect that on his return from Sydney in about 3 weeks time, he intended to oppose to the fullest extent the decision of the Minister of Education to erect the High School at Frankston on 3 acres of land.

Mr. Jones states that Mr. Hansen expressed this intention when informing him that the money for the High School had been placed on the estimates.

Cr. W. P. Mason, chairman of the Council High School Committee, occupied the chair last night.

Cr. Oates said he was at a loss to understand Mr. Hansen’s attitude in view of the fact that he had recommended the area in question.

Cr. Wells, Messrs. Bradbury, Lind, Quartermain, J. Jolly and Mesdames James and Rogersen also spoke.

The following resolution, moved by Mr W. C. Young and seconded by Cr. Wells was carried unanimously:

“That this public meeting, representative of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, strongly resents the statement made to the shire secretary and appearing in the public Press to the effect that Mr. Hansen of the Education Department, intends to oppose to the fullest extent in his power the proposal of the Minister of Education to establish a High School at Frankston, the money for which has been placed on the estimates, and this meeting requests the council to bring Mr. Hanson’s statement under the notice of Sir Alexander Peacock.

Mr. Hansen’s statement is considered all the more extraordinary as it was on his recommendation that the movement to erect a High School as proposed, was initiated.”

Carried unanimously.

FRIDAY GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC TV, 7.30pm

With spin-off series Gardening Australia Junior proving a hit with all ages and the main show going as strong as ever, it looks like we’ll be seeing the Gardening Australia crew busy in the backyards of Australia for some time to come. Of course, only someone with the energy of Costa Georgiadis (pictured) would be able to host two shows at once. Tonight, Costa takes a look at a sky-high garden, while Jane Edmanson isn’t having quite as much fun –she’s taking on fungus gnats.

SATURDAY FREE GUY

SEVEN, 7.30pm

A strong concept is at the heart of this action comedy set in a video game world. Ryan Reynolds (pictured) plays Guy, a character in an online video game who develops self-awareness and unwittingly becomes a major player in his own game. He partners with action-loving “MolotovGirl” (Jodie Comer, pictured, left) as they team up to save their world. Reynolds is his usual affable self, but it’s Comer who steals the show with both her comedic timing and action skills.

SUNDAY THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

TEN, 7.30pm

The celebrity guests who drop by this long-running chat show must wonder if there’s something in the water they’re served up, because even the most guarded of A-listers are won over by cheeky Irishman Graham Norton. Despite the ongoing Hollywood strikes somewhat shrinking his guestlist, Norton’s got a slew of stars and fascinating folk lined up for season 31. Falling under his spell in tonight’s premiere are guests including pop superstar Kylie Minogue (pictured), and actor Stephen Graham.

MONDAY THE ROOKIE

SEVEN, 9.15pm

When this popular police drama started out in 2018, Nathan Fillion’s middle-aged rookie John Nolan was one of the oldest recruits LAPD had ever seen. Five seasons in and Nolan is now a training officer with a rookie of his own – but The Training Officer is a far less catchy title. This week’s episode features a case that hits close to home for rookie Celina (Lisseth Chavez, pictured) when a young girl goes missing sister’s death. While Celina has been on her tendency to let emotions cloud her judgment, her personal connection to this case and its victims proves crucial. It seems former rookie Nolan still has a

A Formal Apology to Members of My Immediate Family

By Stuart McCullough

WE were a gang. And a gang is a very great thing when you’re growing up. When you’re one of five children, there’s no shortage of coconspirators for whatever trouble you happen to be planning. Brothers and sisters are an audience. They’re your biggest fans and your harshest critics. Sometimes simultaneously. And they’re always there – both when you want them and when you don’t. It’s non-negotiable.

I’m the eldest. Not by much, but in terms of family hierarchy, being the eldest really matters. When you’re the eldest, you’re the family icebreaker, that one that crashes into your parents and softens them up so that those who come after you can have an easier time of it. It was a role I took on less from a sense of duty and more as a matter of destiny. It was no easy thing. And although they benefited from me breaking down our parents’ spirit of resistance, I don’t think my brothers and sisters have ever bothered to thank me. Which, if I’m being totally honest, is fair enough.

I have four siblings – two sisters and two brothers and there’s only about six years between us from start to finish. Which is a lot of kids in a very small amount of time. We were close in every respect. To drive the point home, our parents dressed us in matching outfits. We looked like cult members. Technically, we could have formed a basketball team or a band but, instead, we specialised in getting on each other’s nerves. We were good at it.

Come to think of it, I bear most of the responsibility. As an adult, I’d like to think that I am thoughtful and kind to others, empathetic and a good listener. That may be or may not be true. But is most definitely true is that I didn’t start out that way. That’s because, as the eldest of five, I was the tormentor in chief. It’s not something I’m proud of.

There’s less than a year between one of my brothers and I. Indeed, we’re the same age every year for four days. When we were growing up,

these four days were known as ‘the silly season’. It’s fair to say that we completely lost our minds as we tortured each other in a bid for supremacy. But aside from those four days, my brother is a remarkably relaxed and a (mostly) reasonable person. Which means that whatever I said to inspire him to anger and punch a hole in my bedroom door must have been pretty terrible. I don’t even remember what it was.

I wish that were the worst of it. When we were growing up, we had a wood heater. Essentially, it was a black metal box with a window at the front. It was located in the living room where (admittedly) we spent most of our time and was the only form of heating in a six-bedroom house.

The house was designed so that the master bed-

room was at one end of the house, and all the other bedrooms were at the opposite end. Even better, the house was divided into two, with a door separating one half from the other. Closing the door meant that fifty per cent of the house was entirely deprived of heat. To make matters if not worse then definitely colder, my father insisted the door remained closed at all times to keep the cold out. In winter, those bedrooms were very, very chilly. You know you’re in trouble when the bottom bunk in your bedroom is occupied by a family of penguins.

The wood heater was an amazing thing. If you were on the right side of the door, it could really punch out a decent amount of heat. The golden rule in our house is that you could never stand

on the hearth to be closer to the heater. Naturally, this meant that we all stood on the hearth whenever we could to defrost ourselves after emerging from our bedrooms. But then I took it a step further.

One day, I decided to put coins on top of the wood heater whilst it was in full flight. I then told my youngest brother that I’d found some spare change and he was welcome to it. He didn’t need to be asked twice. He raced in and scooped those coins into the palm of his hand, only to discover that they were nearly hot enough to melt. The sound of yelping and scent of sizzling flesh followed.

Sometimes I preferred psychological to physical torture. Meal times with five kids are a stampede. The call would go out and there would be the thundering of feet as various family members ran on the kitchen bench to get a plate. The task, then, was to assess which plate had the most food on it. My youngest brother – his hand still recovering from being scalded by a twenty-cent coin – would go to reach for a plate at which point I would express surprise that he hadn’t chosen the biggest meal. He’d pause, reassess, then reach for another one when I would, again, express surprise. This would go on for some time. Put simply, I was horrible.

That’s just the tip of a very ugly iceberg. I have no idea why I was so mean to them. They’re all great people and they made life infinitely better just by being themselves. When I think about Christmas, birthdays or long, languid summers, I think of them. There’s a point when you’re growing up, when things switch and your siblings go from being adversaries to friends. I can’t recall exactly when it happened, but I’m glad that it did. It’s a connection that, like family itself, is nonnegotiable. To Cam, Beck, Sarah and Lachlan, I’m completely sorry and I promise to do better. Starting….now.

Mount Martha soccer's double victory

THE Mount Martha women took on a Yarraville side that had only conceded four goals all season to decide who would be crowned State 5 Metropolitan champions at the home of the Matilda’s.

Two long range goals from Indie Jowett saw Mount Martha go in at half time 2-0 up. As expected Yarraville came out in the second half with a point to prove and clawed a goal back in the 48th minute. Not to be denied a two goal buffer Mount Martha scored straight from kick off. Yarraville could not deal with a delightful long ball from Indie Jowett that Jade Solner gleefully accepted before proceeding to beat the keeper and calmly finishing.

Mount Martha confined to weather the storm from Yarraville and despite conceding in the 94th minute were able to hang on to complete a historic double in their very first season; State 5 South East League winners and State 5 Metropolitan champions.

A fabulous team effort but special mention

Squash player aims for national top 10

AT just 12 years old, Jackson Martin from Arthurs Seat is already a hit in the world of squash. The talented young sport star will next week represent Victoria at the Australian Individual and Teams Championships in Brisbane.

Jackson has set his sights on finishing in the top 10 of the more than 250 competitors from all over Australia,.

The grade six student at Red Hill Consolidated School has been honing his skills at Tonic Squash and Gym in Dromana under the eye of his mother, Amelia Pittock, who was once world-ranked number 26. She describes Jackson's journey into the world of squash as being nothing short of remarkable.

“Squash, often described as a chess like physical game, demands strategic thinking, lightningfast reflexes, and tremendous endurance,” Pittock said.

“It's a sport that appeals to a wide range of ages and abilities, and Jackson exemplifies the potential for young talent to thrive and have fun in this dynamic game.”

Adding to the legacy of squash in his family, Jackson's dad, Rodney Martin, who resides in New York, was a former squash world champion.

Pittock, who said she was enormously proud of her son's accomplishments, will be assistant coach to the Victorian team in Brisbane.

The individual and teams championships will be a test of Jackson's skills and determination, with his passion and dedication sure to be an inspiration to other aspiring youngsters.

Pittock said that as Jackson heads to Brisbane, he “carries with him the dreams of a bright future in squash”.

While the club has been in existence since 2015 and they have had girls teams in that time. 2023 was the first year Mount Martha have had a senior women’s team. The squad is made up mainly of players who have played their junior career at Mount Martha, and most are having their first year playing senior women’s football.

The squad won its division 5 South East title playing an exciting brand of football led by their head coach Robin Smith who previously coached at Mornington Soccer Club and assistant coach Harry Aylett. The team only lost one game during the season and were led on the field by Co Captains Indie Jowett and Steph Calvert.

The team will now be promoted to Division 4 South and is looking forward to a good break before starting pre-season. The team is looking for sponsors for next season. Contact Vaughan Menlove on 0402208902 or vorgon73@hotmail. com

Chelsea snares Stuart Munro

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

STATE 4 South outfit Chelsea has lured high-profile coaching guru Stuart Munro to its ranks.

The local club announced his arrival as technical director late last week.

Munro boasts a celebrated career both as a professional footballer and coach.

The Scot played with St Mirren and Alloa before establishing himself with Glasgow giant Rangers where he played for seven and a half years.

He also played with Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City before coming to Australia in 1997 to join Sydney United.

Munro’s coaching CV includes stints at Gippsland Falcons, Carlton, Parramatta Power, South Melbourne, Oakleigh Cannons, Dandenong Thunder, Dandenong City and Melbourne Knights.

He has been assistant coach of Perth Glory and has twice been named Victorian Coach of the Year.

Munro also has worked in the women’s game as the inaugural coach of Southern United.

“I think I’ve still got a fair bit to offer in the junior player development area and I now live just around the corner from Chelsea so they are my local club,” Munro said.

“I don’t expect to be very much involved with the club’s senior program but will certainly be available if any advice is requested.”

And Chelsea won’t hesitate in asking Munro to vet prospective candidates for its senior coaching position vacated by Carlo Melino last month.

It seems certain that Munro’s knowledge, experience and communication skills will be put to good use at Edithvale Recreation Reserve.

Still in State 4 Somerville Eagles are on the lookout for a new senior coach after president Zach Peddersen revealed that Adam Steele would not be re-appointed.

“Unfortunately the club was put in a position where it was clear the best thing for Adam and the club was to move forward separately so we thank him for his time and effort,” Peddersen said.

“We’ll hold interviews in the coming weeks and there are a few candidates we’d like to speak to.

“Brandt Mulholland won the league with the reserves so he deserves a chance to be considered.”

Captain Conor Mcfall was one of the driving forces in a senior group that has proven competitive and capa-

ble of mounting a serious promotion campaign.

Mcfall has only played senior football for two clubs.

He started playing with Seaford United’s subjuniors until the absence of an under-11 side prompted a switch to Skye United for three seasons.

When he was 15 he returned to Seaford and played in the reserves before making his senior debut as a 16-yearold.

Mcfall signed for Somerville for the pandemic-interrupted 2021 season and took over as senior team captain this year.

“I was a little bit surprised at being made captain but I’ve always been part of the leadership group so it made sense in that regard,” he said.

“I guess when I switched from playing out wide up front to a central midfield role I became more of a

leader on the park.

“While I still enjoy playing up top I really enjoy getting on the ball more and to be honest I wasn’t enjoying playing out wide.”

Under Steele the Eagles recorded their highest ever points tally at this level when they amassed 38 points and finished fifth last season.

So what will it take for the senior side to take the next step and win promotion?

“We were a really young team,” Mcfall said.

“I mean I’m one of the older guys and I’m 24.

“A few injuries set us back this year and both Tom Pollock and Connor Carson had season-ending knee injuries.

“That took a lot away from us especially experience in those tough games against Baxter and White Star

Dandenong where we lacked that calmness and we hit the panic button a bit.

“So I think next year having two or three players with experience who can play against those title-chasing sides would really help us a lot.”

Mcfall also has a message for his new coach.

“We’ve got a very settled squad and we’re a tight group of players who would run though brick walls for each other.

“This is a great job for the new coach who can come in and work with a young group that can only get better.

“I don’t think we need many new players to take us to that next level and I’m excited about what we could do next season.”

In other news Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor who recently resigned as head

coach of Frankston Pines has been contacted by NPL3 outfit Doveton about its vacant coaching role.

Doveton head coach Gerry McDonagh stepped down recently and Taylor has been touted as a possible replacement.

“Yes ‘Squizzy’ is on the shortlist as well as a couple of others from last year’s interviews,” Doveton president Danny McMinimee said.

“There also are two other candidates and we’ll be making a decision very quickly this year so as to get on the front foot.”

The interview panel consists of McMinimee, Stuart Webster and Julian Costin.

Taylor was interviewed late last week.
