Who doesn’t have a soft spot for netball? Most of us would have some experience with the game, even as far back as primary school PE classes (I was an excellent wing attack; sadly my goal shooter dreams were dashed on account of being extremely short). The game has been a cultural stalwart for many years but with increased competition across women’s sports, netball is examining how to remain a force. This week’s cover star is Netball Australia’s new CEO, Melbourne-based Kelly Ryan.

She talks to Linda Pearce about her new job, and her unorthodox introduction to working in sport. ●

Homecoming Michelle Vergara Moore is returning to Melbourne to shoot a movie after success in The Unusual Suspects.

Wo r d s

A

JA N E R O C CA

ustralian actress Michelle Vergara Moore left her home in Williamsburg, New York, last August to film SBS’s satirical-heist series The Unusual Suspects in Sydney, but it’s a new US film being shot in her birthplace of Melbourne that now has her excited.

“We’ve lived in New York for 10 years, so to have the opportunity to film in Melbourne is the best thing that’s happening to me right now. The last time I filmed there was in 201314 for The Time of Our Lives,” says Vergara Moore, who is married to Australian actor Toby Leonard Moore.

She’s tight-lipped about the new film, biding her time in Hobart doing pub trivia nights, but she’ll be ready to mingle with her large, tight-knit Filipino family when she lands.

When Vergara Moore read the script for The Unusual Suspects, she was instantly drawn to its ambitious tone. Much more than social satire dressed in a heist, the series hit a cultural nerve too.

“It was the first time I’ve ever read an Australian script that had a major representation of Filipino characters in it,” says the actor, who has also appeared in the movies Side Effects and Black & White & Sex. “When I was growing up, I never saw these characters on TV.” Vergara Moore is one of 10 children born to parents who migrated from the Philippines to Melbourne in the early ’70s, choosing to settle in the Gippsland town of Sale. Both of her parents worked as teachers, arriving with four children, and then having a further six.

“I can’t imagine what it must have been like to leave a small village and

relocate,” she says. “My dad worked his butt off for the family.

“We’re very close and I do miss not seeing them more. In fact, all of my siblings live in the same area as my parents except for one who lives in West Footscray. We’re that close!”

By the time Vergara Moore was born the family had settled in Sunbury. She fell in love with acting while at school in North Melbourne.

“I went to St Aloysius from year 7 to 9 and it’s there I started getting involved in performing arts,” she says.

“It was a single-sex multicultural school – everyone from Vietnamese, Greek, Filipinos went there, so diverse.

“I played various male and female roles and really loved it. My parents didn’t have any idea how to get me into acting, though, they didn’t know how to get an agent, but they have been very supportive of my career choice. I got into NIDA and have been determined ever since.”

Vergara Moore met her husband Toby in their first year at NIDA and they’ve been together ever since. In a career first for them both, they act as on-screen husband and wife in The Unusual Suspects.

“It was very peculiar, at first, to see Toby at work … It’s really jarring,” she says. “Usually, you’re at home rehearsing lines with each other, but to have my spouse at work and act as a couple on the screen, I was constantly adjusting. But it was good to have a glass of wine at the end of the day and talk about what happened at work.” ● THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS \ SBS On Demand ● sbs.com.au/ondemand

JA M E S G E E R

Pulling on the CEO’s bib COVER STORY Kelly Ryan is bringing 15 years of sports

industry experience to the top job at Netball Australia.

W

hen Kelly Ryan tried to explain to her six-year-old daughter, Macy, that she had a new job running netball, it prompted an unexpected response.

“Macy was like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re coming to coach my netball team!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, not quite,’’’ Netball Australia’s new CEO says with a laugh. “The girls have got no idea whatsoever. Which is super sweet.’’

If Ryan is content to leave the wrangling of juniors to those running the entry-level NetSetGO program at outer suburban Diamond Creek, she has no intention of being a loud or pushy sideline parent watching Macy – and, next year, four-year-old Indie – start out in the sport the former AFL marketing executive has this month started to oversee.

Having grown up in the tiny farming town of Strathmerton, near Cobram on the NSW border, and played for the local football-netball club and school teams, Ryan’s new role spans everything from grassroots, where netball remains the nation’s most popular female participant sport, to Super Netball and the national team, the Diamonds.

Despite the recent embrace of women and girls by traditionally male-focused sporting codes, netball retains an important and influential place in the Australian community. “It really, really does, and that’s not lost on me,’’ says Ryan. “It’s an enormous responsibility to make sure it continues being such a beacon, and I only hope that I can do it justice.’’

At 42, Ryan’s first CEO position is the culmination of 15 years in the sports industry that have included senior marketing and events roles with the Western Bulldogs and embryonic Gold Coast Suns and two stints at AFL House – including most recently as head of major events and operations at the league-owned Docklands Stadium.

But media was her first love, and phase one of Ryan’s career typified both her can-do attitude and

6

DOM A IN REV IEW

enterprising approach. While studying at RMIT in the 1990s, Ryan wrote a letter to the boss of radio station Fox FM offering to work for nothing, which meant rising at 4am to help with outside broadcasts. Yes, gratis. “I did my time like a lot of people do, I think, where you’re just prepared to get a foot in the door and do anything.’’

That would soon lead to paid jobs in the promotions departments of Gold FM and Nova before Ryan returned from a year in Sydney in need of a change but unsure exactly where to move next.

What she was clear about was her other passion: sport. So why not try AFL? “I was living in Footscray at the time [2004], so I thought, ‘I’m going to try to get a job at the Western Bulldogs.’

I rang them about 50 times asking for an interview, and finally, the HR manager caved and decided to meet with me out of sympathy ... and probably because I was annoying the hell out of him!’’

After being told initially that there were no vacancies, two jobs had somehow opened up by the time she walked back to her car. “That’s how I started in footy. I just tried to take on new opportunities from there on in, and I’ve had a fantastic time over the past 15 years to bring me to this point.’’

Netball HQ in hipster-central Fitzroy is a long way from Strathmerton, where Ryan’s dad was a farmer-turned-truckie and her mum a nurse. There has been much to learn from each stop en route.

During her first stint at the Western Bulldogs, where the office staff worked in a run-down converted bar, Ryan had to be thrifty and creative.

Her five-plus years at the Suns involved the challenge of selling a football code as well as a club, necessitating a more entertainment-focused approach to a match-day experience that had little to do with on-field results.

Back at Whitten Oval as chief marketing officer, having been drawn back to family in her home state, Ryan was 36 weeks pregnant with her and partner Samm’s second child on the day the Bulldogs famously broke a 62-year premiership drought in 2016. She returned four weeks after Indie’s birth to direct the newly established AFLW franchise.

The 2019 move to Docklands Stadium brought experience in sports beyond AFL, encompassing core tenants cricket and soccer, concerts and other major events. Throughout, Ryan has been wedded to the philosophy of not blindly following what has always gone before and prides herself on rarely doing the same thing twice. It might be as simple as acknowledging that not everyone wants a pie and chips at the footy. Or introducing a sensory room to cater for those with special needs.

A

t Netball Australia, she has the sturdy platform of those huge participant numbers on which to build a higher profile for the pointy end, but also a determination to stem the loss of so many girls in their mid-teens from competitive sport, generally.

With the football codes, cricket, soccer, et al., there has never been more competition for elite female athletes, but what matters most to Ryan is that they simply stay active and involved.

“Netball’s been there from the beginning for women and girls, which I think is an incredibly strong position that we just need to continue building upon,’’ she says. “It’s also a great elite sport now, and the fact that we can pay the players more than any of the other national codes is fantastic, but there’s still a great opportunity for growth in everything we do.’’

That includes the broadcast audience for a national league that next year will return to Fox Sports from Nine/GEM and, when COVID-19 allows, crowds. “Ultimately, it all feeds each other, so the more people we’ve got watching, the more money we can make commercially from broadcast deals, which then we can continue to reinvest in people playing and participating at some level.’’

Diversity and inclusion will be key themes.

Ryan is keen to innovate and evolve as she continues netball’s grand tradition of being an exception to the boys’ club of Australian sports administration. One thing she is still not, of course, is a NetSetGO coach.

But as young Macy will surely appreciate one day, CEO will do nicely as mum’s netball job for now. ●

any would be overwhelmed by Old Beijing's colossal menu. Not me; I have a method.

I select what jumps out – gauging the waiter's facial expression as I go – and then subtract dishes until his face returns to normal.

“You can always order more,” he says as if this were my first rodeo.

It would be rude not to order Peking duck here.

Our table of chefs and MasterChefs approve of its brittle skin and supple flesh, perhaps because master Chen Xu has cooked nearly half a million roast ducks over 30 years. Xiaolongbao are Old Beijing's other signature dish, with five varieties including jet-black truffled soup dumplings and a

red seafood version, with each dumpling presented on an individual wooden stand with handle.

The regional diversity of the chefs is clear from the spread of ornately presented dishes: Shanghai scrambled egg whites are fluffed up with crab meat, saucy Cantonese XO pipis are best with youtiao Chinese “churros” for dipping, and soft poached chicken with Sichuan chilli crisp over thin noodles packs the perfect amount of heat.

Housed in QV in the former home of Red Spice Road, Old Beijing is also a solid lunch option, with noodles, rice dishes and a dozen dumplings priced between $13.80 and $17.

This 200-seat restaurant with six private dining rooms now has a dumpling-making viewing window, hand-painted paifang-like structures over the tables and a licensed bar (try a Sichuan sour made with Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin). We skip the walk-in wine cellar for now and order a bottle of Geelong By Farr Chardonnay from the long list.

“Actually,” I pipe up as the waiter turns on his heels, “we'll get some more dumplings too, please.” ●

What’s nearby?

Right next door is Thai Town, one of my favourite Thai restaurants in Melbourne. The playful fit-out is inspired by bustling night markets and lunch is a steal (traditional salads, curries, stir-fries, noodles and soups all under $15). Dinner is a trip around Thailand without the airfare.

STREETS OF OUR TOWN

Bridport Street Albert Park is charming and elegant – and so is its main shopping strip.

Surrounded by lush parks, an abundance of cafes and retail, and only a short tram ride from the South Melbourne Market or the beach, Bridport Street in Albert Park is totally charming. The suburb's main park and namesake, the sprawling Albert Park, is reason enough to head to this part of the world, but the retail here truly is something else.

Alongside well-known chains like Gorman and Seed, this strip boasts elegant independent boutiques teeming with unique garments from Australia and all over the world. The suburb hosts some of Melbourne's most gorgeous Edwardian and Victorian terrace houses, its streets wide and tree-lined. Just around the corner is the heritage-listed St Vincent Gardens, too.

The area is home to lots of young families, and on a weekday morning, you'll see mums pushing prams and balancing coffees. Older couples walking big dogs stand chatting outside cafes on their morning walks.

I grab a coffee at Alberton cafe and take a look at their menu, making a mental note to come back and try the crepes. Up the street is the Avenue Bookstore, which has been here for 35 years.

I wander into Faith clothing store – a clearance shop for an interesting array of Scandinavian labels at affordable prices.

retail, cafes, takeaway food and more – take a tram to enjoy a crisp morning here and don’t forget to pick up the famously delicious dim sims.

“I didn't study [making clothes]. I learnt at my grandmother's knee,” Langford says. “I like the idea of strip shopping; I liked being away from all of the big obvious stores. It's a lovely opportunity for small boutiques, and this is much more a discovery thing."

Further down, you'll find another great cafe called No. 84, where the pastries and pantry goods in the window will be enough to draw you in, as well as the Gianna Molinaro store, selling beautiful designer fashion specialising in natural fabrics. ●

Located between the beach and the playing fields of Albert Park Lake, this Edwardian home is in an excellent location for convenient and fun-filled family living. St Kilda is just a stroll away and, in the other direction, the city is easily accessed by tram or light rail, South Melbourne’s market and Clarendon Street shopping are close, and cafes and restaurants are scattered all around.

The house has been masterfully renovated with luxurious inclusions and the bonus of north-facing living areas.

Heritage and history are most evident in the front room.

There, a deep bay window draws in light from the front and, to the side, there is a bay section with windows and an ornate fireplace with cast-iron insert. The room has a decorative cornice, picture rail and deep skirting boards.

Two bedrooms follow, one with a fireplace, and then the laundry with heated drying cupboard and the downstairs bathroom. Both are neatly designed to maximise space and storage potential.

The living and dining area, and the superb kitchen, are beautifully detailed. A dropped ceiling adds architectural interest and the area opens to the garden. The kitchen joinery has been designed to add some convenient storage in the living area and there is an entertainment unit of a similar style.

The well-appointed white kitchen must have been designed by someone who loves to cook and entertain. It has banks of drawers and cupboards, a huge walk-in pantry, marble and stainless steel benches, two Miele ovens – steam and convection – and gas and induction cooktops.
