Hard rain is not going to fall Australia faces worst drought in decades Come and talk to us DRY SPELL... Much of Australia is facing drought conditions, which has the potential to be worse than the Millennium Drought that severely impacted the Murray-Darling Basin and southern cropping zones between 1997 and 2009. Local water stores remain in good condition for now, but how long will that last and will local producers get the support they need if things get worse? Photo: Supplied

VicGrid has released the draft 2025 Victorian Transmission Plan.

It sets out proposed renewable energy zones and transmission projects our state will need to keep Victorians connected to safe, reliable and affordable power.

By Aaron Cordy AUSTRALIA is a sunburnt country with extreme weather conditions that can yield heavy rains and then deprive us of even a skerrick of water for months, even years.

Despite having well above rainfall in 2022 that led to the October floods, much of Australia is now facing drought conditions, which has the potential to be worse than the Millennium Drought that severely impacted the Murray-Darling Basin and southern cropping zones between 1997 and 2009.

2018 and 2019 were some of the worst years for rainfall across Australia since 2002, then Northern Victoria and Southern NSW had two average years of rainfall, followed by the 2022 floods. 2023 produced average rainfall in the region, while further north it was far below average. 2024 saw rainfalls dip again, and in 2025 we are in the middle of one of the driest autumns in years, which is expected to continue through winter.

Northern Victoria’s major water storages have kept the region afloat through the dry spell, delivering more than a million megalitres of water to irrigators in the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District during the 2024/25 irrigation season. Lake Eildon has received less than half the inflows it

usually would have at this stage in the year.

In SA, NSW and Southwest Victoria, drought conditions have intensified, which is seeing a higher rate of livestock being sold off to combat the lack of food that has been heavily affected by the drought.

The South Australian Government is delivering a $73M drought package, and the Victorian Government has ordered 50GL of fresh water from the Wonthaggi Desalination Plant for the first time since March 2022 to be delivered in 2025/26.

The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) is urging politicians to keep a focus on drought conditions being felt across many areas of the country.

David Jochinke said it is imperative the Government understands the reality facing many producers.

“Producers in large parts of South Australia and Victoria are entering their second year of drought, with many parts of southern New South Wales facing a very dry start for the sowing season,” said NFF President David Jochinke.

“Drought dries up more than land. It drains local economies, family budgets and wellbeing. It’s not just farmers who feel it, it’s entire rural and regional communities.”

CRACKDOWN ON SPEEDSTERS

As a result of 30 road deaths this year, compared to 23 at the same time last year, police saturated roads across the state last week, in a crackdown targeting lead foots- a comprehensive operation to coincide with National Road Safety Week.

From Sunday May 11 - 18, police used handheld speed measurement guns as well as automatic radar technology to target and detect speeding motorists.

Each year 1200 people are killed and another 40,000 seriously injured on Australia’s roads.

CRYING OUT FOR SOCIAL HOUSING

A new report from housing and social services advocates reveals significant challenges for Victoria’s social housing system. Modelling commissioned by the Victorian Housing Peaks Alliance shows the state will need 377,000 additional social housing dwellings

by 2051 to meet projected demand from lowincome Victorians. Of these, 83,000 homes will be needed specifically for victim-survivors of family violence.

The Alliance is urging the State Government to set a target of building 7,990 new social homes annually over the next decade to help meet this long-term need.

Despite the Big Housing Build, a major four-year investment in affordable housing, Victoria continues to trail other states.

Decades of underinvestment have left it with the lowest proportion of social housing in Australia. Currently, the state has 86,000 social housing dwellings, representing just 3.1 per cent of total housing stock.

50 YEARS OF THE MODEL A FORD CLUB

This weekend, the Model A Ford Club of Victoria is celebrating 50 years, and it is coming to Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley to celebrate.

29th GV Hospice Rallye raises $77k for GV Hospice

By Deanne Jeffers BUILDING on its strong tradition of fundraising for Goulburn Valley Hospice Care, the 29th GV Hospice Rallye enjoyed sunny skies, a full field of vehicles, and raised an impressive $77,653 for the cause this year, adding to the $1.1M contributed during previous years.

Approximately 110 riders and more than 40 cars set out on May 3-4, 2025 for the mystery navigational tour. The route departed from Shepparton’s MOVE Museum to Euroa for lunch, then through Mansfield to Eildon, where participants enjoyed dinner and accommodation.

This year’s dinner theme was ‘Dream Occupation’, and the costumes were as diverse as the cars in the rally itself. Bernadette Girdwood’s floral inspired outfit stole the show. GV Hospice Rallye Chair, Kelvin Maude, said it was impressive the effort people put into the theme.

“Participants dressed in their dream occupation or as what they wanted to be when they grew up. We had an interesting and varied group this year, with amazing effort put in. First place went to Bernadette Girdwood,

Car 10, driven by Trent Williams and his team Kelly Rainbow, Aaron Fuller, and Stacey Murray, was the first-place winner of the rallye. The team’s event was won by three cars campaigned by Mary Coad, Myra Quick and Richard Bell.

Kelvin said the committee were very pleased with the fundraising result, adding to the over $1M already raised by the rally since its inception.

“We’re very happy with anything over $50k, so this is definitely one of our strongest years. It’s wonderful to see how well supported the rally is each year.”

This year’s winners of the major raffle prize were Kate Eaton (1st prize), Nell Popelier (2nd prize), and Lewis Dawe (3rd prize). They have won seven nights' accommodation at The Oracle at Broadbeach, a helicopter joy flight, and set of tyres respectively, all

The garden features outdoor musical instruments ranging from xylophones to drums, bells and chimes resembling flowers and a piano played by jumping on keys embedded in the courtyard.

Every Mooroopna Primary student enjoys the new musical garden and for some, it’s a game-changer in helping to ease anxiety and engage in education.

Regions brace for Emergency Fire Services Levy continued from front page STARTING July 1, 2025, the Fire Services Property Levy (FSPL) on council rate notices will be replaced by the ESVF, to fund a broader range of emergency services. Under the changes, every landholder in Victoria will pay more, but farmers are facing increases in the tens of thousands of dollars, hitting them hardest during a time of drought.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said Council is extremely disappointed that the fund will lead to more money being directly taken from regional Victoria.

“For our municipality alone, this change means an increase of more than $4.7 million, compared to what is currently collected under the FSPL. Under the new structure, the primary production variable rate will rise sharply from 28.7 cents to 71.8 cents per $1,000 of Capital Improved Value (CIV), a shift that disproportionately affects regional and rural areas.”

CFA firefighters and farmers downed tools last week to protest the ESVF on the steps of parliament. More protests were planned for Tuesday, as The Adviser was going to print, and Treasurer Jacinta Allan prepared to deliver her first State Budget.

Since the vote in parliament, around 200 CFA brigades are reportedly offline, and a petition has started calling for the introduction of the ESVF be ceased and for the government to commit to genuine consultation.

Mooroopna CFA, which has confirmed it is still responding to call outs, erected its CFA flag upside down, as an act of defiance and to signal the distress this legislation places on CFA members. The brigade has asked the community to sign the petition and write to Victoria’s Governor General to plead that the ESVF is not

signed into law.

Before the heated parliamentary debate last Thursday, Treasurer Allan confirmed the government had struck a deal with crossbench MPs to support the legislation. She said amendments were made to address farmers’ concerns.

Amendments included dropping the levy rate for farmers from 83 cents for every $1,000 of a property’s CIV to 71.8 cents. The current rate is 28.7 cents.

She also said that CFA volunteers and farmers in 24 shires eligible for drought support would be exempt, although this is only short term and does not include the Goulburn Valley region.

Opposition members, including Liberal Member Wendy Lovell and One Nation Member Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell, voted against the levy, citing its impact on Victorians, particularly vulnerable farmers and renters, during a cost-ofliving crisis.

“Labor, together with the Animal Justice, Greens, and Legalise Cannabis parties, have completely sold out Victorians, doing a dirty deal to ram this controversial bill through parliament in the early hours of Friday morning,” said Ms Lovell in a statement, highlighting that the ESVF is the 60th tax to be introduced by Labor since being elected in 2014.

“Large parts of rural Victoria are currently experiencing horrendous drought conditions, and farmers are under incredible financial stress.

To impose an excessive new tax on them at this time, so that Labor can fill its budget black holes, is heartless and cruel.”

A New Chapter in Community-Led Natural Resource Management The newly formed Shepparton Irrigation Region Forum (SIRF) provides a vital platform for community engagement and collaboration in managing the region’s natural resources.

The forum, supported by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (GB CMA), aims to provide valuable community advice and feedback on the implementation of the newly updated Shepparton Irrigation Region Land and Water Management Plan (SIRLWMP).

GB CMA CEO Carl Walters said the SIRF builds on previous community committees and reflects changes in the region that were identified in the renewed SIRLWMP 2050.

“The focus of the plan has narrowed and this is an opportunity to look at key critical attributes with community resilience and regional

prosperity at the top of the list.”

He said SIRF was designed to bring together diverse voices from the community, ensuring that local perspectives were at the forefront of decision-making processes.

Mr Walters said SIRF represented a unique opportunity for the community to actively participate in the stewardship of our land and water resources.

“By collaborating, we can ensure that the region continues to thrive environmentally and economically for generations to come.”

that Albanian community,” said GV Hospice CEO, Wendy Ross.

The Shepparton Albanian Harvest Festival is one of the largest community-run events in Greater Shepparton, celebrating food, family, music and Albanian culture, unlike any other event in Australia.

“I think until you've used GV Hospice care, you don't know the work it does. Palliative care looked after my father; they looked

after my wife's father. And when you see what they do, they are very, very special people,” said the SAS President, Reg Qemal, on why they continue to support GV Hospice.

“As a community, they need support. We're very fortunate to have hospice care in Shepparton. They’re the number one hospice care in Australia and have a 24-hour service. They can only really have the 24-hour service with the community’s support.”

When Australian ingenuity meets

tradition and progress FE W stories capture the spirit of Australian enterprise quite like that of Greenham Australia. From its humble origins , beginning as an immigrant butcher shop in Melbourne during the early 1800s, the business has grown over the decades to become a major player in the Australian beef industry.

A niche industry that trades rely on PROUDLY owned and operated by locals Nick McLean and Madi Sewell, GEM Electric Motors plays a critical role in keeping the region’s industries running smoothly. Specialising in the sales and service of electric motors, pumps, automation products and gearboxes, GEM provides a ‘service that’s a cut above’.

With over 16 years of hands-on industry experience, Nick brings a wealth of technical knowledge and innovation to the workshop floor. As President of the Australasian Chapter of EASA (Electro-Mechanical Authority), he also connects the business to global best practices, research, and emerging technologies, particularly in areas such as motor efficiency and environmental standards.

GEM’s strength lies not just in technical expertise but in its connection to the local community and industries. From rewinding electric motors to servicing pumps and gearboxes, GEM supports everything from municipal wastewater systems to the dairy farms and agriculture that form the backbone of the local economy.

“We’re the trade that other trades rely on to get the job done right in the region,” said Nick. “Electricians

and end users often rely on us for the motors and gearboxes that keep factories, farms, and processing facilities running.”

When asked what it means to be a locally owned and operated business, Nick said: “As a locally owned and operated business, our biggest advantage is truly understanding our clients’ equipment and needs, not just reading specs from a desk. We’re on the ground, close to the work, and in tune with what services our customers require. It is understanding their equipment, what it does and the process it is a part of. I think being locally owned keeps our finger on the pulse of what local industries want and require.”

After recently moving into a larger, fully equipped facility, GEM is entering an exciting new phase of growth and is looking to expand its team. The business is currently hiring a junior apprentice or a qualified

Electrical Machine Repair Technician to help meet growing demand and continue delivering vital services.

“There’s a big skill shortage in our industry, and we’re focused on training the next generation and keeping those skills alive.” As a tight-knit, community-focused business, GEM offers more than just a job. New team members are welcomed into a supportive environment with opportunities for training, mentorship and longterm career growth. Madi, who leads administration and finance, is passionate about engaging with local schools to offer work experience and expose students to trade careers.

From Shepparton to the world:

30 years of Rubicon Water TH I RT Y ye ars ago, Aus tralia was facing significant water issues, primarily driven by its already dry climate, increasing demand, and the severe impacts unfolding during the Millennium Drought. In the mid1990s, population growth, agricultural expansion and industrial development were placing significant pressures on existing water supplies.

Rubicon Water's origins trace back to the early 90s, during a time when the Victorian Government set out to create independent rural water authorities to make rural water supply commercially self-sufficient.

In 1994, the Rural Water Corporation (RWC) was disbanded as the government regionalised water operations into independent authorities to manage each supply region identified under the RWC, paving the way for innovation and better water management practices.

Amid this change emerged five engineers who saw an opportunity

to revolutionise and digitise gravityfed channel networks. In 1995, Bruce Rodgerson, Trevor Tennant, Gino Ciavarella, Tony Oakes and David Aughton founded Rubicon Water in Shepparton. Their mission was to transform inefficient, manually operated irrigation systems into automated networks.

In 1998, Rubicon formed a pivotal par tnership with the University of M elb ourne, a collab ora tion that continues today, combining engineering and academic expertise to tackle water challenges. The result was Total Channel Control (TCC): an integrated solution combining automated gates, flow meters, sof t ware, and communications to enable near on-demand water delivery.

This innovation, radical at the time, is now improving water distribution efficiencies to over 90 per cent, paving the way for more sustainable water management both locally

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS... 30 years ago, Rubicon Water was formed in Shepparton to address Australia’s water issues during the Millennium Drought. Now, with over 35,000 devices deployed across more than 20 countries, Rubicon continues to lead the world in irrigation automation.

and internationally – with Australia accounting for less than one per cent of the global irrigated landscape.

Rubicon's technology continues to attract global attention. Recently, the company hosted delegates from Italy and Chile, where projects are underway — including one of Europe's most innovative irrigation modernisation projects in Italy's Pontine Marshes, where Rubicon Water's technology is primed to solve an ancient Roman water management problem that has plagued the region well before Leonardo da Vinci mapped the area in the 16th century.

Demands on water are increasing worldwide, driven by population growth, climate change, and the need to produce more food with

Localy Owned & Operated

fewer resources. Irrigated agriculture consumes approximately 70 per cent of the world's freshwater, yet more than half of this water fails to reach its intended destination due to lack of measurement and control.

With 2050 predicted to bring significant challenges for water availability and global food supply, Rubicon Water is contributing to the global effort through smarter, more sustainable large-scale water management. With proven technology now operating in over 20 countries, Rubicon is helping make more water available by reducing losses, improving efficiency, and supporting irrigators to do more with less.

Celebrating 30 years of global impact — with roots right here in Shepparton.

CARING FOR THE PLANET AND COMMUNITY... Future Recyling understands its roots are firmly planted in the community it is based, and as such, feeds as much support as it can to local clubs and important causes. This ongoing support was exemplified last month with a $3,000 donation to the Shepparton United Football Netball Club. Pictured are Senior football captains Sheldon Bogdan and Joel Serra, Under 18’s captain Zane Chalcraft, and Cub President Kevin Hicks, Daniel Thewma from Future Recycling, Natalie Kirby and A grade netball captains Grace Mcinneny and Olivia Kirby.

More than metal AMONGST the industrial landscape of Old Dookie Road, Future Recycling operates with a vision that goes beyond the clang and clatter of the recycling process.

This long-standing local business understands that its roots are firmly planted in the community and, as such, has cultivated a deep commitment to its well-being. More than just a place where discarded metal is given new life, Future Recycling actively champions local groups and sporting clubs, becoming

an integral supporter of the town's vibrant spirit. " We b e li eve o u r s u c c e s s is intrinsically linked to the strength of the wider communit y," said Shepparton Branch Manager Daniel Thewma. "Being truly embedded here allows us to understand and contribute to the causes that matter most to our neighbours. Of course, their choice to recycle with us is vital, enabling us to continue investing back into the local fabric."

Future Recycling's commitment

to the region is multifaceted , encompassing not only significant donations and sponsorships but also a conscious effort to bolster the local economy by utilising other local businesses to support operations and by employing local people.

In 2024 , Future Recycling demonstrated its strong community commitment by donating $18,000 to a wide array of local groups, from sporting clubs like football, netball, soccer, and golf to the crucial Neffy's We Listen Suicide Loss Support Group.

This ongoing support was further exemplified last month with a $3,000 contribution to the Shepparton United Football Netball Club.

"The response to our local club sponsorships has been overwhelmingly positive," said Daniel, noting the significance of community feedback. "Knowing that our support directly benefits the children and families in the Goulburn Valley region reinforces the importance of our community involvement."

Dubbed "The best scrap yard in Shepp," the business is always looking for new ways to improve its service and the communities it operates in. You can find Future Recycling's Shepparton depot and dedicated weighbridge at 121-135 Old Dookie Road or visit www.futurerecycling. com.au to learn more.

MEMBER FOR NORTHERN VICTORIA REGION /RLTyrrellMLC

@Rikkie-LeeTyrrellMLC

AUSTRALIA is well-placed to thrive in a world that’s becoming more complex and connected. With rich natural resources, a welleducated population and a diverse, multicultural society, the country has strong foundations. Despite global uncertainty, highlighted by political shifts like the rise of the Trump administration, Australia remains steady.

Its economy is resilient, with strong ties to the Asia-Pacific region.

Australia continues to punch above its weight, regularly ranking high for innovation, economic freedom, and investor confidence. The tech sector, worth $167 billion in 2023, is now the third-largest part of the national economy. Australia also has

a proud history of invention, such as Wi-Fi, the black box flight recorder, and Google Maps, which shows its strength in creative thinking and problem-solving.

Australia is also stepping up in key areas that will shape the future: climate change, cyber security, and sustainability. The shift to renewable energy is picking up speed, with major solar and wind projects putting Australia on track to become a clean energy exporter. At the same time, the cyber security sector is growing fast and is expected to double in value by 2028, an important move as digital threats increase.

Still, there are challenges. There are not enough skilled workers in fast-growing industries, and more investment is needed in infrastructure and digital skills.

To keep moving forward, Australia must plan carefully and act boldly.

Progress will depend not only on innovation but also on strong partnerships between government, business, and local communities.

Buying Australian means you’re creating local jobs, boosting the economy, and supporting your fellow Aussies in the Goulburn and Murray Valley and beyond… please support Aussie makers and growers by purchasing locally made products!

ENJOY a joy ride with a difference by taking seniors on day trips around Greater Shepparton and beyond as a volunteer minibus driver at Shepparton Villages.

Residents enjoying retirement living at Shepparton Villages have three minibuses available to go on trips far and wide with shopping, sightseeing, and adventures for everyone.

The opportunities provided by the buses are particularly welcomed by residents within the residential aged care centres at each of the group’s three villages, for people who are often not able to get out into the general community as much as they’d like.

But they need volunteer drivers to help these residents get the most out of retirement.

If you or someone you know enjoys driving people around and have some free

time to help those in need, Shepparton Villages would love to hear from you.

Shepparton Villages can help with the necessary checks and clearances you need and there’s no need for a special driving licence, just a good driving record. If this sounds like you or someone you know, phone (03) 5832 0800 or email info@ sheppvillages.com.au.

If bus driving is not your thing, another healthy option on offer at present is the chance to help out in a vegie garden run by residents at Banksia Lodge, part of the Kialla Gardens Village. If you can spare an hour or two from time to time, enjoy gardening and would like to do your bit to help more senior citizens to stay active outdoors, Shepparton Villages would LOVE to hear from you. Email banksiadt@sheppvillages.com.au or call (03) 5823 9900.

FamilyCare would like to thank our volunteers who willingly give their time and skills to support our staff and clients

This allows FamilyCare to continue to work with individuals, families and communities to increase wellbeing, build strengths and encourage optimism in order to fulfil our vision of strong families and communities.

Our volunteers at FamilyCare engage in meaningful roles, where they can see their contribution makes a real difference to those involved. Our staff and clients value the many contributions made by our volunteers and enjoy building a relationship with them, whilst seeing them feel part of our team.

Volunteers are amazing members of our community and FamilyCare are grateful for all they do!

gvl vs o&ml interleague preview There will be more than a dozen new players in the purple and yellow of the Goulburn Valley League for the annual Interleague fixture against the Ovens and Murray League on Saturday.

And three of the best players on the ground from last year’s 15-point GVL win are now playing in other leagues.

New GVL coach Dale Osborne has just seven players from last year’s winning team in his squad for the Ash-Wilson Trophy game at Wangaratta’s WJ Findlay Oval.

The GVL played a high-possession game against their opponent, taking 53 more uncontested marks and finishing the match +59 for disposals.

Despite losing both the hit-outs and the clearances, the GVL had seven more inside 50s and had the better of the umpiring – winning that count +10.

Matt Lias, playing with Echuca at the time and now with Murray League club Echuca United, was the highest-ranking point player on the ground. He had 33 disposals, five tackles, six clearances and kicked a goal in his 147-point game.

Harry Mahoney, who has played one game with Mansfield this year and last week kicked three goals for Collingwood’s VFL team, had 125 ranking points and Keelin Betson had 24 disposals and five clearances in his 113-point game.

Also missing are Daniel Johnston (nine goals in five games for Sunbury in the Ballarat

League), Riley Mason (17 goals in six games with Collingwood in the VFL this year) and Cooper Willoughby (13 goals in three games for Deniliquin Rams in the Murray League).

The players in this year’s squad who were part of that winning team are Bryce Stevenson, Hugh Byrne, Nathan Beattie, Anthony Depasquale (who kicked three goals and had 17 disposals last year), Jed Woods, Max Clohesy and Coby James.

Depasquale is likely to play for Werribee in the VFL, but at the time of publication was still being considered for selection.

Here is a likely line-up for the GVL: Backs: Nick Warnock (Ben), Aiden Robinson (Ky), Caiden Phillips (United) Half-backs: Cohen Paul (Euroa), Bryce Stevenson (Bears), Ben Hicks (Moor) Centres: Oliver Warburton (Swans), Archie Watt (Ky), Kade Chalcraft (United) Half-forwards: Ned Byrne (Shep), Hugh Byrne (Ech), Nathan Beattie (Sey) Forwards: Nathan Wright (Ben), Lewis McShane (Bears), Zac Norris (Ky) Followers: Ash Holland (Bears), Nic Quigg (Sey), Mitch Trewhella (Roch) Interchange (from): Jed Woods (Moor), Nathan Rachele (Swans), Jacob Watts (Bears), Jesse Cucinotta (United) Emergencies: Mark Marriott (Ben), Max Clohesy (Swans), Ben Darrou (Tat), Coby James (Moor), Anthony Depasquale (Kya), Dom Gugliotti (Moor)

GVL netball team of the season Seven weeks into the GVL A-grade netball season there are two teams that sit head and shoulders above the rest. Both have seven wins and the best attacking returns in the competition.

Reigning premier Euroa has scored 490 goals (making it easy to calculate, that’s an average of 70 goals a week) this season, and that is 80 more than Shepparton (next best).

They will play one another in Round 13, during the split round, on July 12.

Sitting third, Tatura has the best defensive output of any team in the competition.

They have allowed just 265 goals in seven games, despite having won just five of them and had a draw (with fourth-ranked Seymour in the game of the season).

Tatura has a very tough draw coming out of the interleague bye, facing up to top team Euroa on June 7, then fifth-ranked Mooroopna two weeks later, and Shepparton in Round 12.

They do finish the season, however, with games against only one top four team (Seymour) in the last six games of the season.

Here is how a GVL Netball Team of the Season (so far) would look seven weeks into the season. It has been based on feedback from

club officials, voting, offensive and defensive output, and where the teams sit on the ladder.

Here is how it would look: GK – Hannah Crawley (despite being ninth on the ladder, the team has the sixth-best defence, Crawley one of the reasons for this return) GD – Molly Boyle (leads the best defence in the competition) WD – Kellie Davidson (Captain, leads the reigning premier and capable of playing a key defensive post or at wing defence) C – Casey Adamson (has led her team from sixth to fourth this year so far, and they should win seven of their next eight games) WA – Elsie Boyer (works as hard to support defensive players as she does to supply her goalers) GA – Mia Sudomirski (only 99 goals, 15th in the league, but a terrific feeder to Morris) GS – Olivia Morris (388 goals for the season) Interchange: Ruby Martin, Ash Lancaster, Ash Hare and Ella Kightly (two players who can perform at both ends – Seymour’s Martin and Lancaster from Mooroopna. Also, two support defenders. After all, we have enough firepower in this team to sink a battleship – just need to shore up the defence).

IT’S A HALF BACK’S LEAGUE: THE THINGS WE LEARNT

Two late marks to lock up the result, Gawn managed seven disposals, 11 hit outs, two clearances, three inside fifties and 129 metres gained in just the final term.

22 disposals, 47 hit outs and seven marks for the contest, Gawny’s performances this season have been nothing short of brilliant.

However, this win wasn’t just in the hands of Max Gawn. Kysaiah Pickett was everywhere, booting two goals from his 21 disposals in one of his stronger performances this season.

The Dees’ elite midfield put on a clinic, while Jake Melksham booted four vital goals in the contest.

This game was reminiscent of the Demons of old. Carry this sort of performance throughout the rest of the year and the Dees might just be alive and kicking.

JAIDEN SCIBERRAS/SEN

SIR Doug Nicholls Round has come and gone, bringing with it a mixed bag of results all over the country.

From blowouts on Saturday to nailbiters on Sunday, favourites dominating to an upset up north, Round 10 featured a little bit of everything.

From Ben Long sitting on shoulders to Kozzy Pickett running rampant against the reigning premiers, here are the things we learnt in Round 10!

It’s a half back’s league

In a competition where ball movement is king, the role of the half back flank has rapidly ascended to the most vital in the AFL. As the pace of the game continues to evolve, springboarding off the flank and powering down the ground at high speed has evidently become the most effective way to transition the footy.

Round 10 proved that teams are beginning to take note, shifting their best ball users into the back half to ensure the most effective ball movement. The Pies shifting Josh Daicos, Port Adelaide with Connor Rozee and Brisbane with Jaspa Fletcher are just a few examples of players thriving in the role.

However, this is a shift that has been forecast for some time. The Giants’ ‘Orange Tsunami’ originated from their elite ball users in this exact position, with Lachie Whitfield and Lachie Ash frequently popping up as the trigger point for swift transitions.

Adopting that same method, the Suns have recruited two elite movers in Daniel Rioli and John Noble, both playing a vital role in securing victory over both the Bulldogs and the Hawks, while the Dogs’ Bailey Dale had one of the better Bulldog performances in history against the Dons, racking up a historical 49 disposals.

Beyond face value, Champion Data has confirmed the importance of the back flank, with five of their top 10 players doing their damage in the coveted role.

It’s a big week for the Blues

It may soon become common practice for sides to adapt, shifting their primary ball users onto the back flank.

Fremantle are capable of top-drawer performances

The Dockers have been incredibly inconsistent this season, however they are certainly capable of top-quality football.

Coming up against an in-form GWS side, fresh off the back of a stellar win over the Cats, Fremantle waltzed into their backyard, winning every quarter en route to a dominant 34-point win.

Coach Justin Longmuir’s defensive structure stood firm, stifling the Giants’ runners and pressing forward, breaking away in the third term before burying the contest in the last.

After many questions surrounding Longmuir’s game style, their performance proved that their defensive game does stack up against

Page 32 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1765 Wednesday, May 21, 2025

the very best, booting eight second half goals curtesy of a midfield clinic.

However, this is the football we should expect from a list this strong.

With a healthy Luke Jackson, an elite midfield and contributors all across the ground, there is no reason as to why the Dockers shouldn’t perform in this manner week in, week out.

More of this.

The Dogs’ stocks are rising

The Western Bulldogs cannot be far from premiership favourites.

A demolition from start to finish, the Dogs took care of the Bombers with absolute ease, claiming victory by 91 points at Marvel Stadium.

While the undermanned Bombers might not be the highest quality of opposition, this is the third smashing that the Dogs have delivered since the return of Marcus Bontempelli.

Within the Bont’s five games, the Bulldogs have lost just one game,

falling just short against the Suns in Darwin – a challenge no team has overcome in over five years.

Led by Luke Beveridge, the Dogs have absolutely everything required to win a flag – a top-notch midfield, an elite forward half mix (particularly with the rise of Rhylee West and the shift of Buku Khamis), and star power across the board.

With Sam Darcy to return in the latter stages of the season, it’s safe to say the Bulldogs premiership stocks are rising at a rapid rate.

Now’s the time to buy in.

Max Gawn is the centre of everything

Where would the Demons be without Maxy Gawn?

Arguably the greatest ruckman in modern football, Gawny was at the forefront of everything once again as the Dees put on their best performance of the season, stealing victory from the Lions at the Gabba.

Where to now for Carlton?

A strong win against St Kilda in Round 9 left the Blues in good stead, winning four from five to regain form following their slow start to the season.

However, faced with a vital, potentially eight-pointer against the Swans, Carlton capitulated when put to the sword.

Unable to find an answer to Isaac Heeney, the Blues allowed the Swans to dominate the final term, giving up five of Sydney’s 11 goals in the last exchange to fall by 16 points at the SCG. The contest proved the value of Jack Silvagni in the back half, however with his continuous struggles to remain healthy, Michael Voss needs to find an answer in the defensive 50.

Round 10 also proved that Carlton’s list is simply too top heavy. Beyond their stars, the current crop at the lower end of Carlton’s best 22 simply aren’t up to the standard of a top eight side.

With just the four wins from 10 games, with the Giants to come before the bye, the Blues will need to regroup and start putting wins on the board if they want to find any success in 2025.
